In the early morning of the next day, the nine horsemen of Yandi deliberately changed into new clothes, and everyone went to the stream to take a bath, dismounted and led the horses, and followed the middle-aged man unhurriedly.

"Big brother, you said, is the Iron Arrow Zen Master in the temple today? What if it's not the right time for us to go, and the Iron Arrow Zen Master is not there? Hey, hey, or what if we go at this time and disturb his old man's house. ”

The young man is a little frizzy, and the irrepressible impulse in his heart has already appeared on his face, he is a person who likes to use the arrow path in the Yandi Nine Horses, and the words of the Beigen country, there are a few older generation monks who are famous for the arrow path in China, but because of the factional position, they can't teach him any skills, but Nanli is different, Nanli still has an iron arrow Zen master who walks in the forefront of the world's archery in this era, although the country is different, but the young man is a little inexplicable, I felt that I could steal a trick or two from the Iron Arrow Zen Master.

He couldn't tell the source of this confidence, anyway, he just decided about it, and even began to fantasize that he had learned two tricks from the Iron Arrow Zen Master and then returned to Beigen, those old guys in the domestic archery path, hum, he didn't bother to learn any of their skills.

The middle-aged man gently lifted the horsewhip with one hand and did not speak, but this action was enough to make the young man consciously close his mouth, the two whips yesterday hurt a lot, or don't come again.

At this hour, it was just dawn, the air in the mountains was extremely fresh, and some breeze blew past the nine people, although it was a mountain field, but the nine people could smell a trace of fragrance from the air.

A quarter of an hour later, the nine people came to the temple gate as they wished, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, sorted out his clothes, and after confirming that it was correct, he walked to the temple gate step by step, gently knocked with his fingers, and said in a humble tone to the door

"Beigen Nine Horsemen, on the orders of our emperor, come to meet the abbot of the Iron Arrow Zen Master, if there is any disturbance, I will make amends here first."

The language is respectful and humble, and the remaining eight people have rarely seen it in middle-aged people after so many years, even in China, in the face of the children of those big families, their boss just looked at it coldly, if that person rolled in front of the boss, the boss might go berserk on the spot.

It is rare and rare, the boss who entered the south actually has such a face, but it is understandable, after all, the person who visited today is famous as the archery master of the mainland, plus the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma, has also lived in Beigen for a period of time, and the people of Beigen are not exclusive to the teachings of Zen Buddhism, and even have some closeness in it.

After a while, the temple gate slowly opened, a little novice showed a small head, his eyes sleepily looked at the person who called the door outside the door, after seeing the smile forced out of this person's somewhat frightening cheeks, this little novice subconsciously took a few steps back, but then not long after, the little novice gradually dissipated his sleepiness, opened the door, and said to the middle-aged man with his hands folded

"Please come in, the abbot has been waiting for you for some time, and come with me, the abbot has just finished reciting the morning sutra and is now meditating in the pond in the backyard."

After Xiao Shami said this, he turned his head, that face was really a little scary, it was okay when he didn't have any expression, but when he smiled, it was still the kind of smile that was forced out at first glance, how to look at it and how it was uncoordinated, no, not incongruous, it was faintly a little crazy.

The middle-aged man was a little puzzled, how could this little novice see himself as if he had seen a ghost, could it be that his face scared him? No, I'm obviously very kind, and I don't have any murderous aura on my body, so let's just follow this little novice to meet the Iron Arrow Zen Master first.

"Okay, please lead the way, thank you below."

Only then did the little novice step out of one foot and walk towards the backyard with the nine men.

The group tied their horses outside the temple, followed behind the little novice, and slowed down, even the young man who usually has the most mouth after entering the temple, he couldn't help but close his mouth, this is a holy place in Buddhism, even if it is as strong as them, after entering this place, the soul will inevitably be baptized by some Buddhist glory.

The middle-aged man naturally discovered this, but even if he found out, he did not resist, nor did he remind the eight people behind him that the teachings of Zen Buddhism were a major task of their trip, and it was convenient to adapt to them in advance.

Under the leadership of Xiao Shami, Yandi Jiuqi saw a lot of novices and monks cleaning the ground along the way, and when they passed by the main hall of Buddhism and a few rooms, they heard bursts of Buddhist scriptures coming from inside.

After hearing the sound of these Buddhist scriptures, the tiredness on the face of the little novice slowly faded, and his spirit gradually came to his heart.

After everyone passed through a few gates, the monks and novices on the side of the road became fewer and fewer, until they came to the backyard, and in the huge courtyard, only the nine of them and the little novices were left.

When he came to the pond not far away, Xiao Shami turned around, raised his head slightly, stared only at the middle-aged man's chin, and said

"Please wait here for a while, and I'll go talk to the abbot."

The middle-aged man didn't notice Xiao Shami's gaze, but just nodded, folded his hands, and said softly

"Thank you, little master."

The figure sitting on the edge of the pond meditating not far away should be the Iron Arrow Zen Master, right?

Little Shami trotted all the way to the side of the Iron Arrow Zen Master, who heard the familiar footsteps, opened his eyes, and said without turning his head with a chuckle

"You're still so frizzy, call the leader of those people over, and then you can go down to breakfast."

Xiao Shami gasped and was stunned, but quickly reacted, nodded vigorously, turned back and ran to the middle-aged man, panting and saying to the middle-aged man

"The abbot said you can just go over, and the others, please rest here for a while."

"It should be, it should be"

The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at the eight people behind him, and saw that none of them had any other reaction, so he lowered his footsteps and slowly walked towards the Iron Arrow Zen Master, and when he was only a few steps away from the Iron Arrow Zen Master, he stopped, folded his hands and said respectfully to the Iron Arrow Zen Master

"Luo Yi, the captain of the Nine Cavalry in Xiabeigen, on the orders of my emperor, has seen the abbot of the iron arrow here on behalf of my emperor."

"Okay, the poor monk has learned about these things from His Majesty, so sit down and talk about it."

The Iron Arrow Zen Master faced the middle-aged man, with a Buddhist bead strung on one hand, and his fingertips pointed to the stone slab on Luo Yi's side.

After Luo Yi sat down, he humbly said to the Iron Arrow Zen Master

"Abbot Iron Arrow, my emperor has asked me to greet you, and my emperor has a small request, I hope you can grant it, abbot."

Okay, I didn't talk for a couple of words and got straight to the point, the captain of the Yandi Nine Horsemen, it seems that he doesn't want to engage in those roofs.

"Nanli and Beigen have been friends for generations, and if there is a place where poor monks can help, they can respond, please say."

The Iron Arrow Zen Master can be regarded as talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he has been friends with Beigen for generations?

Just kidding, it is estimated that only a fool will believe this word, as one of the two major empires on the mainland, and the national strength is basically far beyond the remaining Dongxun Empire, who of these two is not looking forward to something happening in each other's country, and then the national strength is greatly reduced, to put it mildly, who of these two does not want the other party to destroy the country quickly?

However, who wouldn't say beautiful words, Luo Yi didn't refute the Iron Arrow Zen Master, after all, he had no reason to refute what people said.

"The abbot of the Iron Arrow understands the righteousness, and on behalf of my emperor and my Beigen, I have thanked the abbot of the Iron Arrow in advance."

Luo Yi said, took off the sword from his waist, and solemnly held the sword with both hands and handed it to the Iron Arrow Zen Master.

The Iron Arrow Zen Master took the sword, his eyes flashed slightly, he pulled out the scabbard, and saw the two words engraved under the sword handle, the Iron Arrow Zen Master's face changed suddenly, and then he quickly regained his composure, put the sword back into the scabbard and put it beside him, and said to Luo Yi

"Anyway, what do you want?"

"My emperor hopes that the abbot of Iron Arrow will promise us to invite a master from the Nanli Zen sect to accompany me back to Beigen to spread the teachings of Zen Buddhism, that's all."

Luo Yi's face remained unchanged, since this sword has been handed over, then the Iron Arrow Zen Master has no reason to refuse this matter, the meaning of this sword is far more important to the Iron Arrow Zen Master, or for the Emperor Nanli today, than the disaster that may occur when conveying the teachings of the Zen religion.

What's more, welcoming Zen Buddhism to Beigen itself has no disadvantages to Nanli, and there are even some benefits in it.

"The poor monk can agree to this, but you have to tell the poor monk, where did you get this sword?"

The Iron Arrow Zen Master did not unexpectedly respond to Luo Yi's request, what does this matter have to do with Beigen, he hasn't figured it out yet, but since Beigen is willing to hand over this sword for this, then this matter will definitely have a great impact on Beigen, and the Iron Arrow Zen Master still knows about the common sense that it is not profitable.

Luo Yi sighed slightly, and replied in a somewhat helpless tone

"Don't hide the abbot of the iron arrow, this sword is a tribute from a major family in China a few years ago to offer my emperor, and I really don't know the specific origin."

"So, right?"

The Iron Arrow Zen Master was a little distracted, looking at the sword, sure enough, is that person still dead? I don't know if Your Majesty will be happy or sad when he knows about this.

Seeing that the Iron Arrow Zen Master's demeanor was already a little wrong, Luo Yi got up and bowed solemnly, and said respectfully

"Then I'll retire first, Abbot of Iron Arrow, and mourn."

The Iron Arrow Zen Master nodded absentmindedly, Luo Yi turned around and walked back to the others, and whispered to the eight people

"Let's go, Iron Arrow Zen Master, he doesn't care about it now."

Although the young man was a little eager to run to the Iron Arrow Zen Master to ask for advice on the way of arrows, Luo Yi's words finally made him curb his impulse, so he had to lower his head and silently follow Luo Yi back the way he came, until he came out of this temple.

And at this moment, outside the gate of Jinling City.

A dilapidated and dirty carriage stopped at the gate of the city, and several guards were about to come forward for routine questioning.

And on the carriage, Qi Wuxian sat on it, holding the reins in his hand, right next to him, his big knife was placed on his side, and the handle of the knife was stained with a lot of blood, it seemed that it should have been a day or two.

Qi Wuxian's messy hair and tattered clothes, the guards guarding the door didn't recognize him, so he unceremoniously stepped forward and said instructively

"Get out of the car and be checked, hurry up, don't delay the people behind."

Qi Wuxian's eyes exuding murderous intent shot directly at the soldier like a sharp sword, and the chill in his eyes made the soldier directly frightened and subconsciously retreated a few steps, but soon, the soldier came back to his senses under the gaze of his colleagues on the side, and said to Qi Wuxian with a face and some anger

"What are you staring at? Want to die? Don't hurry up and roll down for the uncle. ”

Qi Wuxian pressed one hand on the handle of the knife, and these gatekeepers hurriedly gathered when they saw Qi Wuxian's move, and each picked up their own weapons and pointed at Qi Wuxie.

"In broad daylight, do you know where this is? This is Jinling City! Take it down for me. ”

With a wave of his hand, the soldier gave an order directly to his colleagues beside him, and those soldiers also stepped forward, the spears in their hands pointed at Qi Wuxian, and approached the carriage step by step.

At this time, Zhou Budo, who was sleeping in the carriage, was also woken up by the noise outside, bent over and walked out of the carriage, wiping his eyes and saying in a very impatient tone

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy, has it been to Jinling? ”

It's a pity that Zhou Budo was dressed like a flower child at this time, and these soldiers naturally didn't recognize this child who was the prince of Zhou Wangfu.

"Yo, there's actually a little flower, let's take it together."

And then, Kumu also opened the curtain of the carriage and walked out after Zhou Budo, compared with the first two, Kumu is still a little cleaner, although the clothes are tattered, but at least the hair and cheeks are not messy and dirty.

And Kumu's recognition is not as high as Qi Wuxian and Zhou Budo, because although Kumu's reputation is great, there are very few people who have really seen him, at least none of these city guards recognize Kumu.

It's a hassle.

Fortunately, Kumu directly tore off the brocade guard token on Qi Wuxie's waist and threw it into the soldier's hand.

The soldier was furious, and was directly hit on his head by the token, and then the token fell to the ground, and the soldier didn't care, he thought it was a provocation by Kumu to him, and then ordered angrily

"All of them, take them directly, and escort them back to the barracks, I want to let these Hanako live better than die!"

Kumu was suddenly surprised, how could this soldier be like a stupid melon.

Qi Wuxian sneered, it was rare to see the bitter wood deflated, tsk, his Jinyiwei's waist card was still on the ground, this bitter wood was really, so he really couldn't have a good impression of him.

Qi Wuxian simply picked up his big knife and stood up, jumped out of the carriage, held the big knife tightly in his hand, and said coldly to these soldiers

"Give you a heads-up, look at that waist card, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then glared at Qi Wuxian, lowered his body and picked up the waist card, and said to Qi Wuxian while looking at the waist card

"Hey, what kind of waves can you make with your name Hanako, wait, Uncle will send you to Jinyiwei's edict later, so that you know what kind of place Jinyiwei's edict is."

However, after seeing the waist card, the long silence made the soldier's body slowly begin to tremble.

"Qi, Qi, Qi Qianhu."

This soldier began to speak unfavorably, and the soldiers who were surrounding Qi Wuxian on the side were also dumbfounded, what's the matter? How can I look at a waist card and be afraid of becoming like this, isn't this just a few called flowers?

Qi Wuxian rolled his eyes and slowly walked towards the chief, and the soldiers who were originally holding weapons to surround him on the side also consciously made way for Qi Wuxian at this time because of the change in the chief.

"What? Hands-free? Didn't you say you wanted me to stay in prison? ”

The chief of Shi's heart at this time was not only a collapsed thought, how could he casually bump into a person who was the Lord of the Thousand Households of Jinyiwei, Mingming, obviously they were ragged and called Hanako, this, this can only be recognized if you look closely, my God, since this is Qi Qianhu, then, the little child standing in the carriage, could it be His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhou?

That, that, the person standing behind His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhou's Mansion, shouldn't he be a big man, right?

This Shi Chang gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and slapped himself a few times, and whispered to Qi Wuxian with a smile on his face

"Qi Qianhu, you, you have a lot of adults, don't be like the little pig and dog-like characters in general, the edict, how dare the small one invite you to the edict prison, the small, the small one will admit his mistake to you."

After that, this chief slapped himself a few times hard, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Qi Wuxian snorted coldly, took back his waist card from this chief's hand, tied it around his waist again, then turned around and walked back to the carriage, jumped slightly, and then sat down again, put the big knife aside, held the reins in his hand, and said impatiently to Nashi Chang

"Still not released? Waiting for me to take you to the edict to rest? ”

The chief immediately yelled at the soldiers

"Hurry up, get out of the way, let Lord Qi Qianhu enter the city, you guys, you guys, dare to point at Lord Qi Qianhu with weapons, you don't want to live, don't put it away quickly."

It's also a pity for these soldiers, they haven't reacted yet, but what they know is that these people named Hanako in the carriage should be some big people in the country, otherwise Shi Chang's attitude would not have changed so quickly.

Qi Wuxian snorted coldly, looked back at Zhou Budo, who hadn't woken up yet, and Kumu, who couldn't see anything on his face, and said

"Look, Your Highness, go back and continue to make up for sleep, Kumu, you still don't escort Your Highness back to the carriage."

Kumu frowned, kicked Qi Wuxi's ass, and then lifted the curtain to protect Zhou Budo's first two and returned to the carriage.

"Hey, you bitter wood."

Qi Wu's butt was in pain, and Kumu's kick really kicked the bone on his buttocks, although the strength was not large, but it was just right, and it almost made Qi Wuhate scream directly.

The group also caused a small turmoil, but it was nothing, and they entered Jinling City safely.

However, after this dilapidated carriage entered Jinling City, because it was too dirty, the people in the city were far away, of course, the main reason was because of Qi Wuxian, who was sitting outside the carriage and driving the carriage with a fierce face, and the bloodstained big knife next to him.

This girl is not a good stubble at first glance, who is idle and has nothing to dare to come forward to provoke.

In this way, Qi Wuxian and his party came to the outside of the palace.

Outside the gate of the palace, Qi Wuxian also knocked on the partition of the carriage at this time, and Kumu immediately woke up Zhou Budo, and the three of them got off the carriage together and walked to the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate are not like the soldiers of Jinling City Gate, they are all soldiers from the Northern Army, after seeing Qi Wuxian neatly take off his waist card and let these Northern Army soldiers look twice, a captain of the Northern Army first ordered his subordinates to open the city gate, but he walked up to the three of them, patted Qi Wuxian's shoulder, and scolded with a smile

"Okay, you're hateless, what's wrong with this, it's the same as just thrown out of the soil, gray-faced, hey, it's really rare, it's the first time I've seen you so embarrassed."

Qi Wuxian rolled his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, took the hand of this Northern Military Captain, and said

"Take a good look at the two behind Lao Tzu, don't think that if you are close to Lao Tzu, you won't forget the wine money you owe Lao Tzu, tell you, delusional."

The lieutenant smiled awkwardly, but he also looked behind Qi Wuxian, first saw Kumu, Kumu's appearance, he naturally recognized it, hugged his fist at Kumu to show respect, and then looked down, only then did he see Zhou Budo, who was still a little sleepy with hazy eyes.

The captain of the Northern Military Academy immediately changed his face, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Budo, respectfully saluted Zhou Budo and said solemnly

"Yang Xin, the subordinate captain of the Northern Military Academy, meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhou Budo was awakened by this sudden salute, and the sleepiness in his body dissipated directly, and he was stunned, and then reacted and stepped forward to help Yang Xin and said

"Please get up, please, don't do this big gift."

Good guy, I went out to Dongxun for a trip, and now after returning to Nanli, someone saluted me, and I became unaccustomed to this?

No, no, I've been in Jinling for so many years, and I've basically stayed in Jinling since I was a child, and I've never seen anyone give me such a big courtesy.

Qi Wuxi, who was still on the side, explained to Zhou Budo with a snicker

"Your Royal Highness, don't be surprised, this guy was saved by Prince Zhou on the battlefield, so he gave you this great gift."

"Oh, oh, I see."

Zhou Budo immediately understood, it turned out that this was another incident caused by his father.
