Zhang Shixing went back to the house and called Zhu Yunwen and others out, and came to the Li military envoy, he stared closely at the Li military envoy, if he made any changes, he immediately stepped forward to take him down, and captured the thief first to capture the king, so that he could get out.

Zhu Yunwen and others stepped forward to salute and handed over the degree, the Li military envoy looked at the degree, his face softened, and returned the degree to Zhu Yunwen, and said: "I have heard my father and brother say that there are several monks from the Ming Dynasty who are stationed in Xixing Temple, and I am fortunate to see it today, and it is indeed extraordinary, but under the king's order, to arrest the Qin criminal, please Haihan." With that, he waved his hand, and his soldiers rushed into the house like wolves, looking around, but of course they found nothing.

After the sergeants finished the search, they reported to the Li military envoy: "Hello military envoy, there are no fugitives in the house. ”

The Li military envoy nodded, and bowed his hand to Zhu Yunwen and the others: "I'm sorry, I've disturbed the master's Qing cultivation, and I'll come to the door another day to apologize." With that, he led the sergeants out with him.

After a while, there was another commotion outside, and it gradually faded away, thinking that the group had already left the temple.

At this time, the abbot of Qingde walked in, clasped his hands together to Zhu Yunwen and the others, and said apologetically: "Master Kongwen, the old man didn't take good care of him, which frightened the distinguished guests. ”

Zhu Yunwen let him into the house, lit the lamp, and after everyone sat down, Zhu Yunwen asked, "Abbot, who is this Li military envoy?" Why did you come here late at night to arrest any prisoners? ”

The abbot of Qingde sighed and said, "The family and the country are unfortunate that this incident happened. This Li military envoy was Li Cheng, the second son of Li Xiangguo in the current dynasty, and Ning Wei Forbidden Army commanded Li Cheng. Tonight, Li Xiangguo accused Taibao Chen Yuanxin, Zhuguo Chen Rijun, General Chen Xianzhen and others of intending to rebel and wantonly kill our Chen clan, which is the reason for the fire in the city you just saw. This Li Cheng led the army to the door, saying that our temple harbored Chen Tianping, the son of Chen Xian, the king of Zhuangding, and had to be searched, so he disturbed the distinguished guests and looked at Haihan. ”

Huang Zhan asked on the side: "Then who is this Zhuangding King Chen Xian, and where is he now?" ”

When the abbot of Qingde heard this, he went out and looked left and right, then went back to the house and sat down, and said in a low voice: "This Chen Xian is the eldest son of the emperor, originally the emperor intended him to succeed to the throne, but Li Xiangguo was at odds with him, and repeatedly slandered and framed him, and the king of Zhuang Ding had to leave Nanding in order to avoid trouble. Who knew that Nguyen Nhin Lie was a henchman of Le Xiang Quook, and he was secretly ordered by Xiang Guo to kill King Zhuang Dinh halfway, and the emperor said that he was killed by the mob. The emperor was grief-stricken and was about to ask for guilt, but Li Xiangguo blamed Ruan Renlie and forced him to commit suicide, and the forbidden army fell into the hands of Li Cheng, which was really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. Since then, the power of the DPRK has been completely lost to the Li family. Tonight, the Chen clan is afraid that it will be slaughtered, and I am afraid that this great country will change hands. After that, the abbot of Qingde couldn't help but weep and dipped his towel.

Zhu Yunwen listened, thinking of what happened to him, he was also embarrassed, he comforted Qingde and said: "Abbot, if the Li clan uses such despicable means to take over the Chen family's world, it will be punished by heaven." ”

When Qingde heard this, he hurriedly made a small gesture, and lowered his voice: "Master Kongwen, be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

He was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would say something forbidden and affect him, so he hurriedly resigned.

Zhang Shixing sent him out of the courtyard, and after some investigation, he didn't find any suspicious movements, returned to the house, and whispered to everyone: "Master, two senior brothers, I hid that Chen Tianping." ”

Everyone was taken aback and asked for details, and Zhang Shixing briefly explained how he met Chen Tianping and how he hid the two of them in the forest out of righteous indignation.

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "Fortunately, they met you and picked up a life." If he hides in Xingsheng Temple, he will inevitably be arrested, and he will also involve a number of monks. ”

Huang Zhan asked, "Senior brother, could it be that you can hide them in the forest for the rest of your life?" They will be discovered after dawn, what do you plan to do next? ”

Wang Shu said: "Otherwise, if you hide the two of them in our room, Li Cheng has already searched them, and I guess they won't come again." ”

Huang Zhan shook his head and said, "No, there are Li Xiangguo's secret agents in this temple, and these two people must not be able to hide." ”

Zhang Shixing glanced at everyone and said, "Master, two senior brothers, I have already thought about sending the two of them to Daming." ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised, Huang Zhan immediately shook his head and said: "Senior brother, no, you send the two of them back to Daming, that Chen Tianping is a grandson of the emperor, and Annan is my Daming vassal country, then Chen Tianping will definitely go to the Yan thief and let him make the decision for himself, won't the master's whereabouts be exposed, no, no, absolutely not." Besides, this is an internal affair of Annam, and we, as outsiders, are not allowed to interfere. You can manage this matter for a while, but you can't manage it for a lifetime, so I think you should just stop it. ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he was angry and refuted: "Senior brother, what you said is not right, a few of us followed the master, went through hardships and dangers all the way, and remained unswerving until death, just because there is a righteous spirit in our hearts to dispel evil and help righteousness, and eliminate violence and peace. In the future, what will be used to call on the righteous people of the world to restore the country? ”

Zhu Yunwen listened, nodded and said: "What Kong Zhi said is reasonable, but our strength is limited, so we have to sum it up and then come to the rescue." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Master, I have planned it, I will take the two of them up the Tao River by boat and send them to Annan Old Street, on the other side of the Yunnan River Estuary, let them take the Xiping Houfu waist card to Kunming to find Mu Sheng, and Mu Sheng will arrange their place." The two of them have not met Master, so they should not reveal their secrets, and I will also tell them not to reveal my identity. ”

Huang Zhan snorted and said, "You have been away for many days, how can you explain to the temple?" ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Then ask the brothers and sisters to cover it up." ”

Wang Shu thought for a moment and said: "We will announce to the outside world that our senior brother has an epidemic, don't let outsiders approach, it is not a big problem to drag it for ten days and a half months." ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhang Shixing and said: "Kong Zhi, since you have made up your mind, as a teacher, I can only wish you success, I can't imagine that we can still help others in danger, but I hope that good intentions will be rewarded." ”

After that, he took out the bag of pearls from his side, handed it to Zhang Shixing, and said, "You can use it, good people will do it to the end, and send the Buddha to the west." ”

Zhang Shixing took it with both hands, bowed down and saluted, "Thank you Master for making it complete." ”

Wang Shu also took some dry food and water bladders, and handed them to him, Zhang Shixing said goodbye to everyone, flew up and down the wall, a few ups and downs, came to the outside of the temple, ran to the forest, and called a few times in a low voice.

At this time, there was a sound of rustling overhead, and two people climbed down from the tree, it was Chen Tianping and Ruan Kang.

As soon as Chen Tianping saw Zhang Shixing, he was overjoyed and said: "Master Kongzhi, thanks to your help this time, not long after we climbed the canopy, a group of soldiers came under the tree, searched around, found no trace of us, and left." ”

Zhang Shixing nodded and said, "That's good, after dawn, I'll send you to Daming." ”

Chen Tianping said: "Why do we want to go to Daming? ”

Zhang Shixing saw that he was still a child, so he patiently explained: "After yesterday's killing, I am afraid that the little prince will no longer have a foothold in this Annan. I send you to Daming, you can go to the Ming Emperor and let him call the shots for you. ”

Chen Tianping was a little disbelieving: "Then the Ming Emperor can really make the decision for me?" ”

Zhang Shixing nodded firmly and said: "Annan is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the kings of the past dynasties must be canonized by the Ming Dynasty before they can be considered orthodox, so if you go to the Ming Emperor, he will definitely call the shots for you." ”

Chen Tianping said happily: "Master Kongzhi, if one day, I can return to Annan to be the king, I will definitely crown you as the Great Master of the Protector of the Country." ”

Ruan Kang smiled and asked, "Little Prince, then what are you doing with me?" ”

Chen Tianping tapped Ruan Kang's head and said with a smile: "I named you a scholar, who let you study with me for so many years." ”

Zhang Shixing smiled faintly and said: "Little prince, I saved you out of righteous indignation, it is my monk's duty to help the poor and help the needy, I don't want to reciprocate, if you go to Daming, don't tell others that I saved you, do you remember?" ”

Chen Tianping nodded again and again.

Zhang Shixing took out dry food and water, asked them to sit down, fill their stomachs first, and then hurried. When it was the fourth watch, the sky was faintly bright, Ruan Kang identified the direction and led the two towards the pier. When he was about to arrive at the dock, Zhang Shixing shouted: "It's bitter." ”

It turned out that Chen Tianping was wearing a dragon-patterned yellow robe, although there were stains, at first glance, he was a royal nobleman, and Ruan Kang was also dressed well, dressed in gorgeous clothes, not an ordinary little girl. It was dark last night and I couldn't see clearly, so Zhang Shixing didn't expect this layer. Now that the sky is bright and you can see clearly, these two people appeared on the dock, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhang Shixing hurriedly pulled the two to a secluded street corner and asked him to hide first and not show up. He himself went to find the ship first.

Zhang Shixing found a boatman who seemed to be loyal and explained where he was going, and the boatman saw that he was not a local, and he was afraid of trouble, so his head shook like a rattle, and he refused to go anything.

Zhang Shixing took off the cloth bag from his waist, took out a pearl from it, held it up in front of the boatman, and said: "Chartering your boat, go back and forth to the old street, a pearl, do you want to go?" ”

When the boatman saw such a large pearl, his eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Go, go, go, of course I want to go." Then reach out and take it.

Zhang Shixing's thumb and index finger screwed the pearl to smash, and the powder was sprinkled on the ship's board.

Zhang Shixing took out another pearl and said: "Come and go, go back and forth safely, this pearl is yours, if there is a half-point difference, be careful of the dog's life." ”

His operation was to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, so as not to cause evil intentions on the part of the boat family halfway and harm the lives of himself and Chen Tianping.

Seeing that he was strong in martial arts and rich enough to rival the country, the boatman was shocked, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and he nodded again and again: "Guest officer, dare to ask when the ship will start?" ”

Zhang Shixing said: "You wait a while, I will call two people to come over and set off together." After that, Zhang Shi walked ashore to find Chen Tianping and the others.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves at the end of the long street of the wharf, and a group of cavalry galloped over, led by Li Cheng, who shouted: "Everyone listen to the truth, don't leave the yellow-robed prisoner, and catch the bounty of a thousand taels." ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he ran to the corner of the street.
