In the empty hall of the carrier hall, Zhu Gaoxu sat alone on the public seat, looking at the unmanned hall in a daze.

He remembered that he had caught Duan Yang. Duan Yang wanted to tell Jianwen's whereabouts as a condition of the deal; But at that time, Zhu Gaoxu refused, and he had his own considerations.

However, Zhu Gaoxu thinks that Duan Yang should not be lying, maybe she really knows Jianwen's whereabouts!

So when Zhu Gaoxu let go of Duan Yang's family, he reminded her that she could find Hu Hui, who was also the emperor's person and had a secret order to investigate Jianwen's whereabouts.

And now, Duan Yang's daughter Duan Xue hated to find Hu Hu and led Hu Hu to Dali...... Does this mean that Hu Hu will find Jianwen in Dali?

Zhu Gaoxu has long weighed the stakes. If you can really use Emperor Jianwen's affairs to bring down Mufu, this kind of thing is best for Hu Hu to do; Once Hu Hu comes forward to do it, Zhu Gaoxu will clean up the mess according to the secret order, and he will look much better.

Emperor Jianwen has always been Zhu Di's throat.

If it is really found out that Mu Sheng's private collection of Jianwen is found, the Mu family is probably going to be finished! As soon as the Mu family is finished, Zhu Gaoxu will be able to dominate Yunnan, but does the imperial court really allow such a situation? Will anyone jump out and say that he Zhu Gaoxu is ambitious and wants to split the territory!

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

……

Dali. The three white towers standing tall overlook the entire Dali City and even the vast flat and fertile fields around Erhai Lake.

Hu Hu, who was dressed in a gray cloth robe, was looking at the magnificent scene in the east.

He looked back at the majestic Diancang Mountain, it is said that the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round and has a little white, so it is called Diancang Mountain; But now Hu Hu can't see it, and the mountainside of Diancang Mountain is shrouded in a layer of white mist, and there is a blank space on it, as if the mountain has broken through the clouds.

The three towers are majestic, but visitors can't go up. They had been built for so long that they were afraid of being trampled on, and by this time the doors of the stone towers had been blocked by masonry.

Hu Hu turned his head to Yao Fang and said: "The holy tower can't go up, but there is also the Yuzhu Guanyin Hall in the Chongsheng Temple behind, which occupies a higher area." Let's go to Chongsheng Temple. ”

Yao Fang said: "Mr. has been to Chongsheng Temple? ”

Hu Hu shook his head and said, "I heard what people said." ”

Chongsheng Temple is famous, although it is no longer the royal temple of Dali, but the incense is still very prosperous. All kinds of pilgrims burn incense and worship Buddha inside, both men and women, and there are even many strangely dressed natives and foreign vassal visitors, who are very pious.

A group of four people walked and chatted at the same time.

Yao Fang asked, "Does Mr. believe in Buddhism?" ”

Hu Hu smiled and shook his head: "I don't dare to say anything in the temple, I don't believe it." The saint doesn't say anything strange about the gods, but I also think that there are gods in the first three feet, which is not very pious. Brother Yao Xian believes in Buddhism? ”

Yao Fang also shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it." ”

Hu Hui said: "The Buddhas in each place are different, some have exposed bodies, some are neatly dressed, and even their faces are a little different, and of course the Dharma is also different. Most of our people in Middle-earth believe in the cause and effect of the Buddha and want to cultivate the afterlife. ”

"Then the gentleman thinks there is an afterlife?" Yao Fang asked casually.

Yao Fang is a military general after all, and his face is still not red and his ears are not open, but Hu Hu walked a little out of breath, and he said with some difficulty: "I don't think there is an afterlife, I don't believe it if I haven't seen it...... However, most people in the world are suffering, and this life is too bitter, if you don't hope that the next life will be better, then isn't there no hope for the sea of suffering? ”

"Makes sense." Yao Fang frowned and pondered.

Hu Hu looked sideways and said: "So I didn't want to be a monk before, but wanted to study and become a monk." The monk spends the next life of all sentient beings, and the official does the present life of the people. At least it's true in this life. ”

Yao Fang said with a look of respect: "It turns out that Mr. has such ambitions!" ”

Hu Hu smiled bitterly: "Once." ”

A few people did not worship other Bodhisattvas, and went straight to the Yuzhu Guanyin Temple. As soon as Hu Hu walked in the door, he was immediately stunned by the huge bronze statue of Guanyin several feet high in front of him.

He couldn't help but bow three times with a sincere face, and then walked up the wooden staircase next to him.

"Mortals lack food and clothing, sickness and death, natural disasters and man-made disasters, everything can make a person miserable, and gods like Guanyin are omnipotent without birth or destruction, which really makes people have to worship." Hu Hu turned his head and sighed.

Yao Fang echoed and followed Hu Hu unhurriedly.

After climbing for a long time, Hu Hu climbed to the top of the building out of breath. Ignoring the difficulty of breathing, he immediately walked over to the wooden railing and looked out at the scenery below.

Seeing that under the sun, the top of the temple near was shining with golden light, and the vast vista was also shrouded in a layer of sunshine, Hu Hu stared and couldn't help but sigh. The magnificent expanse of water, the flat fields, the houses, are all under the gaze of the temple gods, and the sun is shining and the scenery is picturesque, which is simply beautiful.

Hu Hui sighed: "This is simply a blissful Buddha country!" ”

At this moment, suddenly a voice came to my ears: "Ascend to the top and don't wait for the east, but see the clouds flying from the homeland." ”

When Hu Hu heard this, he immediately turned his head to look. Behind the railing on the other side, there stood a middle-aged woman wearing a white garland hat. The woman's dress was the dress of a white barbarian, and Hu Hu had seen a lot of it after he arrived in Dali.

He walked over, clenched his fists and said, "Dare to ask Madam, where did you hear this poem?" ”

The woman looked down at the stairs below and said, "Where did you hear that, Your Excellency?" Dare to love is a poem given to you by Geng Gongzi? ”

Hu Hui suddenly said: "That mysterious woman, is it Madame's person?" ”

Just then, footsteps came from the stairs. The woman said: "Sir is not like a local, he has come from afar, why don't you go to the city to rest first?" Walking through the north gate into the city, you may be able to see the warm hospitality of the locals, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Hu Hu hugged his fists and bowed: "I understand." ”

The woman turned and went downstairs first, and she was a woman, but she walked lightly and easily. Hu Hui also beckoned Yao Fang and others downstairs, and he quietly looked at the people who came upstairs, a dark-skinned man and a woman with an eight- or nine-year-old child, like pilgrims and tourists.

The group of four hurriedly left the Chongsheng Temple and went down the mountain to fetch horses. A brocade-clothed guard sergeant did not go up the mountain, but guarded the horse here before, so they became five people and went back to Dali City together.

On the way, Yao Fang reminded: "I still don't know who they are, could it be a trap?" ”

Hu Hui said: "We have no enemies in Yunnan, if there are three long and two short, Mu Sheng will not be able to get rid of it." If I'm afraid of death, I won't be an official of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Yao Fang hugged his fists on the horse and bowed.

The group walked through the north gate to enter the city, and Hu Hu had prepared the road guide for the Sichuan political envoy to Chengdu Mansion and was about to take it out; But the soldiers at the city gate saw that they were Han Chinese, so they didn't check at all, so Hu Hu and others led their horses and swaggered into the city gate. Although the city of Dali had few Han people, it was completely controlled by the Ming army.

Fang entered the north city gate, and Hu Hu really saw the woman again, so he followed not far behind. They were taken by the woman to an old street, surrounded by small courtyards with white walls, built in a unique style, and it seemed that they were all inhabited by white barbarians. Hu Hu and the others were quickly led by the woman into one of the small courtyards.

The three brocade-clothed guard sergeants stayed in the courtyard to control the wind, and Hu Hu and Yao Fang entered the hall. The woman closed the door and said, "The concubine has seen Master Hu, this is ......."

Hu Hui was slightly stunned when he heard her call himself, and then said: "He is my colleague, surnamed Yao." I don't know the name of Mrs. Gao? ”

The woman was far away and looked at Hu Hu and Yao Fang, "I heard that you have a secret decree of the imperial court?" ”

Hu Hu and Yao Fang looked at each other. Yao Fang didn't say anything, and Hu Hui said, "Who is Madame, and how do you know about this?" ”

The woman finally replied, "My husband's surname is Duan." ”

"Mrs. Duan, I'm glad to meet you." Hu Hu hugged his fists and said, "Madame, why don't you say something in Kunming City, but you have to walk hundreds of miles down?" ”

Mrs. Duan said: "Before, I wanted to find King Han, but I was caught by him and locked up for two months, and King Han didn't believe my words. Now I don't know what Master Hu thinks, whether he believes me or not. In Kunming City, wouldn't it be bad if you arrested me too? ”

Hu Hui thought for a while and said: "If you get a little clue and go to Dali immediately, you will sincerely want to find out the truth." Dare to ask Mrs. Duan, why are you interested in this matter? ”

Mrs. Duan sneered: "I just want to deal with the Mu family." ”

Hu Hu nodded, and said in disbelief: "I see." ”

He was pondering and wanted to ask what the relationship between this woman and the Mu family was.

Mrs. Duan was silent for a moment, and then she still spoke: "Emperor Jianwen is hiding in Dali and is protected by Duan Baoji. I was a little related to Duan Baoji, and after noticing this, I sneaked into her secret room and found the poem. I was afraid that she would find out, so I didn't dare to steal the manuscript, so I memorized it, so there were some mistakes in the words. ”

Hu Hui's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly said: "How to confirm that Emperor Jianwen is in Dali?" Where the hell is he? ”

Mrs. Duan said coldly: "In the Lanfeng Temple on Lanfeng Mountain. Don't want to see it, Master Hu, you can't get close at all. Duan Baoji's son-in-law is Xu Tao, the chief military officer of Dali, Xu Tao is Mu Ying's brother who died back then. Lord Hu has no other role than to scare the grass and snakes, and the officers and soldiers of Dali will not listen to Lord Hu's decree. Master Hu has only one way, he has to use the emperor's secret decree to ask the king of Han to transfer troops! ”

Hu Hu was so anxious that he scratched his head, Duan Baoji really had a marriage relationship with the Mu family, which was consistent with his inference!

"But how can Mrs. Duan make me believe this?" Hu Hu frowned.

Mrs. Duan said, "Unless I venture into Duan Baoji's mansion again and steal the original manuscript so that you can check Emperor Jianwen's handwriting." However, in doing so, I may not only be caught, but also Duan Baoji may find out that the poem manuscript has been stolen. She'll be on the lookout for it in advance. ”

At this moment, Yao Fang's voice said: "Officer Hu, the last general will ask the horse to return to Kunming quickly, and let the King of Han send troops for reinforcements!" ”

Hu Hu looked at Mrs. Duan, and then saw Yao Fang standing there with his fists clenched. Yao Fang's proposition is the choice of Jinyiwei! Hu Hu thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Set off immediately." ”

Yao Fang said: "The last general obeys the order!" ”
