No. 408 Three visits to the White Cloud Temple
This time, Cai Dao's master and servant also couldn't get on the boat when they returned, and the heavy rain never stopped for a moment. The Yellow River was so turbulent that they couldn't take the waterway at this time, and they could only sit in a small carriage and rush back all the way.
There was nothing to say all the way, and on this day, as soon as the three masters and servants returned to Baiyun Temple, someone from the bottom of the mountain came up to deliver a letter.
The person who came was not a person from the seven-color collar, but a spy organized by Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua.
This reconstructed espionage organization is mainly responsible for two aspects, one is responsible for spying on all kinds of intelligence in Bianliang City, and the other is responsible for spying on the countries around the Great Song Dynasty and her hostile countries, such as Liao, Xixia, Dayue, and even Wanyan in the Taibai Mountains, and Dali, which has always been the homeland of the Huaxia Dynasty but was abandoned by Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
The reason why Cai Dao chose to choose another stove is not because he doesn't trust the organization built by himself. Rather, because the direction and focus of the detection of the two organizations are not exactly the same, not to mention, multi-channel information can also allow Cai Dao to look at the intelligence in his hands from different angles, so as to ensure that he can make the most suitable decision in the first time.
The Seven Color Collar Organization was mainly digging the corners of the Great Song Dynasty, relocating people, selling grain, and corrupting officials in various prefectures and counties, all of which were weakening the rule of the Zhao and Song dynasties. However, Cai Daoxin's intelligence organization is to keep the orthodox dynasty in the hands of the Han people.
It was to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties, to ensure that the Han regime could get back all the territories that had been lost by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, so that these homelands and the people above them could all be reincorporated into the rule of the Han people. However, whether this Han dynasty is surnamed Zhao or not, Cai Dao actually doesn't care at all. After experiencing Song Shenzong, the emperor surnamed Zhao, he already had some hope for the ruler of this family.
The reason why he didn't choose the road of rebellion was that Cai Dao was just afraid of trouble.
The rebellion of the Zhao family is indeed much more troublesome than that of other unified dynasties.
Jingkang's shame is not that there are some spineless cynics who have taken refuge in the rulers of the Jin Dynasty, if Cai Dao's rebellion is successful, presumably some of these people are still willing to continue to be loyal ministers of Zhao Song.
And really sitting on the throne of the emperor, Cai Dao felt even more troublesome.
The emperor is willing to do it to everyone.
But the loneliness of being alone,
It's really not something that ordinary people can bear.
As soon as Cai Dao looked at the information in his hand, he knew that he would not stay in the Baiyun Temple for long.
Because, Zhao Xu once again sent a 'Qin Cha', and this time the person who came was a lobbyist who made it even more difficult for Cai Dao to refuse.
He is Cao Hu, don't look at this kid's young age, and he doesn't have any real job. Don't forget, he is the grandson of Cai Dao's benefactor Uncle Cao Guo, presumably, when this kid comes, he will definitely hold Uncle Cao's handwritten letter of admonition.
Moreover, this information came a little late.
After all, the time Cai Dao gave Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua was a little too short, and the time for this new organization to be really built was not more than a year, so there was no fact to grasp Cai Dao's whereabouts at any time. Before, when the person in charge of the capital got this information, Cai Dao was still in Xiangzhou, Hebei, and this messenger had been following behind Cai Dao's fart.
Presumably, Cao Hu has now crossed the Fengling Ferry and entered the boundary of Hezhongfu.
However, Cai Dao still underestimated the speed of Cao Hu's travel.
Although the heavy rain at this time seriously hindered the transportation capacity of the Yellow River, Fenglingdu was still able to pass through the Yellow River smoothly. Moreover, in order to speed up, Cao Hu specially borrowed a BMW from his father, like a tiger just out of the cage, rarely stopped along the way, and galloped to Xuehua Mountain.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he only made a mistake with Cai Dao.
No, Cai Dao just finished reading the letter and sighed, someone came to report at the foot of the mountain, and a person who claimed to be Cai Dao's apprentice came to worship the mountain with many people.
No need to ask, Cao Hu is here.
"Little board, you go and let Hualanxi and them pack up their things immediately!" Cai Dao got up and instructed Cai Ban first.
Cai Ban almost didn't jump up when he heard it, he followed Cai Dao over the years, although he has also walked a lot of places, but, turning around is on the mountain, he is active temperament, and now he is almost vomiting when he stays on the mountain, so he asked impatiently: "Childe, are we going back to Beijing?" ”
"Hmmm! Go for it! Cai Dao nodded and replied.
After speaking, Cai Dao no longer paid attention to the excited Cai Ban and left the study by himself, but before leaving, he still lit the information in his hand with a candle in the house and burned it dryly and quietly.
Cai Bucket followed closely behind Cai Dao without saying a word.
At this time, it was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Cai Dao's robe, shining with golden colors.
Cai Dao is also fancy, and after he came back, he changed into a golden robe.
In the Great Song Dynasty, as long as dragons and phoenixes are no longer embroidered on clothes, the government generally does not care whether the people's clothes are yellow or not. This is not the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the yellow clothes represent the royal family.
The appearance of such a wind made Cao Hu, who was hurrying up the mountain under the mountain, and the guards around him stunned.
The fairy wind bones are not enough to evaluate Cai Dao's demeanor in front of them.
Eight years have passed, and when he left Beijing, an eight- or nine-year-old Luo Guozi has now grown into a handsome teenager, no, it should be a Taoist priest. If Cai Dao's smooth jaw is floating with some beard, it must be a fairy.
Cao Hu was stunned, and suddenly realized that the person in front of him was his named master, and he was excited, so he threw down his subordinates and approached a few steps, wanting to hug Cai Dao to vent the feelings of longing in his heart.
However, before he could get close to Cai Dao, he was slapped to the side by Cai Bucket.
Although Cai Bucket is a relatively wooden person, he is not a fool.
Although Cai Dao didn't say who would come down the mountain to pick him up, he vaguely remembered from the other party's eyebrows that the tiger-headed kid in front of him was the little son of the Cao family, and he didn't know how noble his identity was, but he had a deep memory of Cao Hu's natural divine power. Therefore, Cai Bucket slapped Cao Hu out as soon as Cao Hu pounced on Gongzi.
After so many years, although the two of them have improved, the gap between the two teenagers in terms of strength is not too big. Cao Hu is born with divine power, and he doesn't worry about good food and drink, and now he is born with a big waist and a round waist. Cai Bucket trained himself hard under Cai Dao's training, and naturally he didn't have to worry about not being able to eat beef in Taihang Village. However, Cai Bucket, a stupid big man, doesn't know why he was born with a love of woad vegetables, so he doesn't look as strong as Cao Hu seems.
However, Cao Hu is a noble son after all, without Cai Dao's supervision, and the people around him refuse to let him suffer, so his progress is only on par with Cai Bucket.
Talent is important, but so is hard work. What's more, two people are only comparing strength, not brains.
"Bold, you actually dare to beat my son-in-law"
"Where did you come from to be a wild boy, who dared to hurt my son-in-law"
“……”
Cai Bucket's sudden action made the guards behind Cao Hu startled, and they jumped out one by one to reprimand Cai Bucket, and some even pulled out the weapons on their waists.
Looking at their appearance, as long as Cao Hu gave an order, Cai Dao's master and servant would be killed on the spot.
Seeing this, Cai Dao was bluffed and said to Cao Hu: "Hu'er, you drive these subordinates of yours down and wait, and go back to Beijing with you after packing up your things for the teacher." ”
"No!" When Cao Hu heard this, he turned to look at his guards, and angrily reprimanded: "Look at your little bit of talent, this is Ben Gongzi's master, you actually dare to draw a sword in this place, and you will immediately roll down to Ben Gongzi, and anyone who draws a knife will be punished with fifty military sticks." ”
"Hu'er, they are also for your safety, one person and one army stick are enough" Cai Dao naturally didn't really want Cao Hu to really deal with these Cao family's guards so seriously, so he said.
"No! Hurry up and get out of here! When I see you, I feel upset. Cao Hu raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped a few of his subordinates who had drawn their knives, and commanded loudly. It's not that I said, master, you are also too kind of a woman. ”
Cai Dao naturally didn't pay attention to Cao Hu's complaints. This time back to Beijing, along the way, since these people came out to protect Cao Hu, they will definitely follow Cai Dao back to Beijing together.
Although Cai Dao is not afraid of only writing about the so-called masters in the forbidden army to make trouble for himself, if he can make less trouble and sell his favor to these people, why not do it?
Those guards had no choice but to go down the mountain in despair, but Cao Hu asked a little discouraged: "Ah! Master, why are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing this time? Apprentice, I finally got out of the capital this time, can I stay in the mountains for a few more days? ”
This one is purely idle.
"Okay! When he returned to Beijing, he explained this to the official family, how about it? Cai Dao only said this sentence, and Cao Hu immediately died down.
Cai Dao and his entourage didn't have much to pack up, but now that the owner of Mu Laozhai is sitting here, the big guys will work together and quickly pack their luggage.
You can see the afterglow of the sunset, which means that it is not raining on Xuehua Mountain at this time. In fact, the day before I came back, the heavy rain here had stopped.
Before the sun set, Cai Dao took people away from Baiyun Temple.
