Zhang Shixing picked up a steel knife, danced a knife flower, stood at the door, shouted, and said, "Come on, we'll fight to the death." ”

The palace guards were frightened by his might and did not dare to step forward for a while.

When the two sides were holding each other, Mu Sheng hurried over with someone and shouted: "Stop!" Led people to stop between the two sides, Mu Sheng saw Queen Min, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Originally, after Mu Sheng was a lord, a hereditary marquis, King Min should be polite and step forward to help him up. However, King Min was imprisoned because of Mu Sheng's impeachment of his lawlessness, and the two were actually incompatible, so he knelt and was unmoved.

King Min Yin and Yang said angrily: "Xiping Hou is really well-informed, someone wants to murder this king, you will come to the rescue immediately?" ”

Mu Sheng held back his anger and said: "His Royal Highness King Min, today is the death anniversary of my father, I came to Wuhua Temple to offer incense to pray for him, and I happened to encounter this incident, so I dared to say it." Wuhua Temple is a pure place for Buddhism, King Min is the younger brother of today, today here and a dry Buddhist disciple fights, it is really out of shape, Wang Min thinks twice. ”

King Min pointed at Zhang Shixing and said angrily at Mu Sheng: "Xiping Hou, don't you see that this madman wants to murder this king?" This king originally admired the monks who came here to place orders in Jiming Temple, so they came to visit, who knew that they not only did not see, but actually injured the lone guard, wouldn't it be a rebellion? Xiping Hou is trying his best to defend these anti-thieves, do you know each other? ”

Mu Sheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Ben Hou and they don't know each other, but they just met by chance. But everything in the world can not carry a courtesy word, the new emperor ascended the throne, stipulating that the vassal king can not leave the house if he has nothing to do, even if there is something to go out of the house, he must report to the local officials, under the great grace of Emperor Taizu Gao, the world guards Yunnan, and the king of Min goes out of the house without authorization to conflict with others, how can this marquis sit idly by? ”

King Min pointed to the palace guards lying on the ground, and then pointed to Zhang Shixing and said: "He plotted to kill this king, the evidence is conclusive, you still don't arrest him, interrogate him strictly, and see who is the mastermind?" ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he smiled, walked over, leaned over, unlocked the acupoints for a group of palace guards, pushed the palace through blood, and after a while, everyone supported each other and stood up crookedly.

Zhang Shixing clasped his hands together and said to King Min: "Amitabha, His Royal Highness King Min, if you abide by the etiquette of meeting guests, how can you come here?" ”

King Min was furious, pointed at Zhang Shixing, gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you demons, and what kind of demon magic did you cast on the king's guards?" ”

Zhang Shixing was about to answer, a voice came from behind him, and said: "Amitabha, His Royal Highness King Min, this is my junior brother Kongneng, the three of us are all monks of the Jiming Temple in Beijing. ”

Zhang Shixing looked back, only to see Huang Zhan walking out of the courtyard with Wang Shu, he held three books in his hand, walked to King Min, presented the degree, and said: "This is the degree of the three of us, please look at it." ”

King Min flipped through the palm casually and asked, "Which master is unheard?" ”

Huang Zhan clasped his hands together, bowed his head and saluted: "It's a poor monk." ”

King Min looked at Wang Shu and said, "Then this master is an empty seal?" ”

Wang Shu also clasped his hands together and saluted King Min: "The poor monk has seen His Highness. ”

King Min finally glanced at Zhang Shixing fiercely and said, "This Empty Energy Master has not yet shaved his degree, why does he have a degree?" ”

Huang Zhan said unhurriedly: "Although the senior brother of Empty Energy has a degree, his body has entered the Buddha's door, and his heart is still outside. His temperament is like a raging fire, and he is easy to fight and hold grievances, so we took him out, traveled all over the world, experienced some training, and returned to Beijing to shave him. ”

Seeing that he said calmly and naturally, King Min asked again, "Who are your masters?" ”

When Huang Zhan heard this, he panicked, several of them had always called Zhu Yunwen a master, and they had never thought that the person on the hook should have a real master. Jiming Temple is a royal temple, although Huang Zhan has heard of it, he has never been there, how can he answer. If Zhu Yunwen was here, he would definitely be able to say one or two, but because King Min knew Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zhan pretended to be empty and walked out, not wanting to be asked by King Min at this festival.

He was hesitating, and Zhang Shixing stepped forward and replied, "His Royal Highness King Min, the master of several of us is Abbot Dexuan. ”

King Min sighed, slightly surprised, of course he knew Dexuan, and he had been there a few times, but there were hundreds of monks in Jiming Temple, where could he distinguish the true from the fake.

So he asked Dexuan about his voice and appearance, and the shape of Jiming Temple, and Zhang Shixing answered them one by one, saying that it was not bad at all, and it did not leak.

Seeing that he couldn't find a reason, King Min returned Du Mu to Huang Zhan, and said with an embarrassed face: "Some people say that a few of you monks from Jiming Temple live in a simple and sneaky way, so this king came to investigate, and now it has been investigated clearly, and no illegal affairs have been found, and this king is also tired, so he drove back home." ”

With that, he got on his shoulders again, and went down the mountain with the palace guards.

Mu Sheng got up from the ground, ignored the numbness of his legs, staggered towards the courtyard, and ordered his subordinates to surround this small courtyard as he walked, and no one could be allowed to enter.

He walked to the front of the house, asked Huang Zhan and the others to wait outside, entered the house alone, closed the door, turned around and saw Zhu Yunwen sitting upright, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a low voice: "Xiping Hou Musheng sees Your Majesty, Weichen is late to save the car, and I hope to beg for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Yunwen leaned over to help him up, and said with a smile: "You are finally willing to come to see me." ”

Mu Sheng's face turned red, and he defended: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, and Weichen does not dare to reveal His Majesty's secrets, lest the villains be unfavorable to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "I know that your Mu family has been loyal to martyrs for generations, so you have traveled thousands of miles to vote, what are your plans, when will you raise troops and return to the country?" ”

Mu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the time has not yet come." At this moment, the minister has no soldiers and no duties, and there is a vacant title of Marquis of Xiping, which is really difficult to achieve great things. Therefore, His Majesty was allowed to live temporarily in Wuhua Temple for a while, but who expected to be discovered by the King of Min, and Wuhua Temple could not stay anymore. ”

Zhu Yunwen felt a little strange and said: "We are cautious, we live in a simple place here, and rarely show up, why was it discovered by the king of Min?" ”

Mu Sheng said: "After King Namin returned to Yunnan, he hated me to the core, and always wanted to trouble me, and the city was full of his spies. I estimate that as soon as a few of you people appeared in Kunming City, they discovered it, and you went to my Hou Mansion and other courtyards to live in Wuhua Temple, which naturally attracted his attention, and he came to arrest you today, in fact, he wanted to deal with me. Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong. ”

Only then did Zhu Yunwen breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I still thought that my line of hiding had been revealed." ”

Mu Sheng said: "Although His Majesty's whereabouts have not yet been exposed, he can't stay here." The minister arranged another residence for His Majesty, and it was absolutely foolproof. ”

Zhu Yunwen said curiously: "What kind of residence is that?" ”

Mu Sheng was slightly excited: "Thang Long City, Annam Kingdom (now Hanoi, Vietnam). ”

Zhu Yunwen was shocked when he heard this: "Do you want to take refuge in a vassal country?" I won't die. ”

Mu Sheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, stay in the green mountains, and you won't be afraid of no firewood." As long as Your Majesty protects the royal body, it is a matter of time before the country is restored, but the time has not yet come, and the minister is not in charge of the army, so it is difficult to start an incident for a while. Your Majesty will go to Annam for the time being, this place is not far from Yunnan, and when the time is ripe in the country, Weichen will take His Majesty back and hold a big event together. ”

Zhu Yunwen said helplessly: "I am not familiar with life, who do I rely on?" ”

Mu Sheng said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister has been arranged, you go to Shenglong to find the imperial master Li Ji Yak, when the minister guards Yunnan, there are many contacts with him, and the friendship is very good, I have sent someone to inform him, saying that there are a few master You Fang coming, he will definitely entertain him." ”

Zhu Yunwen snorted and said, "Since you have arranged everything, what else do I have to say." ”

Mu Sheng untied a waist card from his waist, presented it with both hands, and said, "Please put it away Your Majesty, it is convenient on the road, and it can also be used as a voucher to be handed over to Na Li Ji Yak for inspection." ”

Zhu Yunwen took it and saw that the waist card was made of brass, heavy and weighty, shaped like jade, the upper part was carved into an auspicious cloud, with a hole in the middle, and the front was engraved with the words of the Xiping Hou Mansion, and the back was engraved with two lines of regular script that the local checkpoints were all allowed to go out of the province without use.

Zhu Yunwen threw the waist card on the table next to him, and said angrily: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." I don't need this Rausch. ”

Mu Sheng didn't answer, took out a black pouch from his arms, put it on the table, and then kowtowed again and withdrew.

After Mu Sheng left, Huang Zhan and the others walked in and said, "Master, today's matter is really dangerous, if it weren't for the junior brother struggling to resist, I'm afraid that Master's hiding will be exposed." Fortunately, Na Mu Sheng came in time, otherwise with a few of us, we really wouldn't be able to stop Na Min. I don't know what Mu Sheng said to Master? ”

Zhu Yunwen said unhappily: "I didn't say anything, I just wanted to drive us away." You see, the waist cards and the coil are arranged. With that, he pointed to two things on the table.

Huang Zhan and the others asked in surprise, "Master, where is he going to arrange us?" As he spoke, he picked up the waist card, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhang Shixing, saying, "This thing is kept by the junior brother, which is the most appropriate." ”

Zhu Yunwen said angrily: "The capital of Annan is Shenglong City." ”

When everyone heard this, they exclaimed.

Wang Shu said angrily: "We returned from Ryukyu all the way, came to join him, and even sent us out of the country, what kind of heart does this Xiping Marquis have?" ”

Zhang Shixing opened the black pouch, only to see that it was filled with more than a dozen large and round pearls, crystal clear, dazzling and flowering, obviously the best choice, priceless.

He shook his head with a smile and said, "This Xiping Marquis has paid a lot of money in order to send us away. ”

Seeing this, Huang Zhan suddenly realized: "Maybe today's incident was also planned by him." ”

Wang Shu was puzzled and said, "Since he doesn't want to take us in, why don't you just offer us to the court to ask for merit and reward." ”

Huang Zhan said: "I came to Yunnan, and along the way, I heard that since the Yan thief usurped the throne, he also vigorously cut the domain, even more so than my dynasty. This Xiping Houshi town in Yunnan can also be regarded as a prince. He didn't know how the court would treat him, so if the Yan thief was persecuted, he would support the master to restore, and if the Yan thief made him forever, maybe he would sacrifice us to show his loyalty. At present, because the situation is unclear, he arranged for us to be in Annam, so that it is not easy to be discovered, and second, we can attack and defend, and we can wait for the opportunity to move. This plan is really clever, I didn't expect that Mu Sheng looked stupid and stupid, but in fact, he was thoughtful and a powerful person. ”

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he sighed and said: "I am a fish and a man, and I am a knife, what do you think is good?" ”

After discussing it, there was still no good idea, this place was already exposed, and it was impossible not to leave, so they could only go to Annan to take refuge for a while according to Mu Sheng's arrangement.

That night, Zhu Yunwen and others packed their luggage, took advantage of the night, said goodbye to the abbot of Shangshan, left Wuhua Temple overnight, and went to Shenglong City in Annan.
