No. 023 Longevity View
It's so cruel that Cai Dao has no intention of speaking along the way.
After that, no matter how much the system tempted Cai Dao, he didn't pay attention to it.
β¦β¦
There were no words all the way, and it didn't take long for the group to come to Wanshouguan.
The longevity view is built on the mountain, and the scale at this time is not large. It was not until the Huizong Dynasty that it ushered in real prosperity.
Bianliang City is located in the plain, almost a flat river, so the top of the mountain here is mostly a hilly landform.
When he came to the mountain gate, Hua Xianqi was just about to step forward and knock on the door, but Cai Dao hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Hua, let my entourage do this kind of trivial matter!" β
Cai Ban jumped out very cleverly on the side, got off the horse, handed the reins of the horse to Cai Bucket, came to the side door next to the mountain gate, and knocked three times lightly.
In fact, Cai Dao was afraid that he would be tired of Hua Qianqi so he didn't let him knock on the door.
He was afraid that the ghost appearance of the flower would scare the Taoist children or Taoist priests in the Wanshou Temple, and at that time, the people of the Wanshou Temple would not leave them to stay here in a fit of anger, and it would be bad.
Seeing that it was gradually getting darker, it was almost the middle of the day, and it was very difficult to find a suitable place to stay in other places.
It didn't take much effort, the side door of Wanshouguan opened a crack from the inside, poking out the head of a little Taoist boy, and when he saw Cai Dao and his party, he was originally going to come out, but as soon as he saw the flowers, he was so frightened that he retracted his feet again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you have to do when you come to my temple?" Xiao Daotong shrank behind the door and asked tremblingly.
"Chief, we're going to spend the night here, I don't know if it's okay? Also, this big brother is escorting us here, and he will leave in a moment. Xiao Daotong hid behind the door, only revealing a small half of his face, and Cai Dao saw the clue from it, half asking, half explaining.
Xiao Daotong breathed a sigh of relief, patted his little chest with his hand, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's really unfortunate. If it's normal, it's okay to let you go in for a few days. However, a major event has just happened, and the viewer has something to do when he goes out, and before leaving, he specially instructed Contempt to close his eyes for a few days recently, and I ask for your forgiveness. β
"Xiaodao chief, you can't be accommodating, you see that we are all children, we have just entered the capital, we are not familiar with the place, and there is no place to stay. Otherwise, let's put on a few more incense injections! Cai Ban was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to discuss.
The southwest of Bianliang City is not a prosperous place, and there is only one inn in the vicinity, Gaosheng Inn, if Wanshouguan doesn't take them in, will they sleep on the streets tonight?
"This little good man is not despising and deliberately embarrassing you, nor is it a matter of incense money, this is really the order of the Lord. Leave! After speaking, Xiao Daotong stopped talking nonsense with everyone.
With a thud, he slammed the side door shut and walked away......
"Uncle Hua, do you know where else you can stay in this annex?" Cai Dao was also very helpless, so he asked Hua Xuanyi.
According to his guess, the sudden closure of Wanshouguan this time is very likely to be related to himself, and it is said that the system has cheated himself again.
"Little boy, there are still many places to stay, but none of them are suitable for ...... of your age," Hua Qiqi said this, and he was actually a little embarrassed.
Although Hua Qiqi couldn't speak clearly, Cai Dao understood that those places suitable for staying were nothing more than some secret prostitutes, or half-concealed households, and the southwest corner of Bianliang City belonged to an underdeveloped area, and the grade of those places must not be much higher. It's really not for these kids.
Hua Xianqi looked at Cai Dao's expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "Little boy, if you just borrow it for one night, you really can't do it, come to my house." It's just me and my wife in the house. But, say it upfront, I'm a slum there, if you don't hate it. β
Actually, Cai Dao also considered this option, but there was really no way, so he had to do it.
Just when Cai Dao was at a loss, on the path leading to Wanshouguan, a fast horse ran up, and the dust raised by galloping could be seen from afar.
It was far away just now, and Cai Dao was worried, so they didn't hear it.
When they heard the sound of horses' hooves, the horse was about to come closer, and Cai Dao and they hurriedly flashed to the side and got out of the way.
But who knows, this horse actually stopped in front of their eyes.
Cai Dao looked at it, and the knight on the horse was actually an acquaintance - it was Dean who took him to Beijing.
Hua Xianqi was very conscientious, and when he saw that he was a military attachΓ©, he was not stunned at all, and he stood in front of everyone.
"Uncle Hua, I know you!" Cai Dao hurriedly said, "Uncle Di, why did you come here?" β
"It's the official family who wants to summon you immediately, what are you running around with you when you're not at home?" As Dean spoke, there was a hint of anger on his face, the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping and falling, and even the mount under his crotch was gulping for air, forming a small white mist in the cold winter wind.
Cai Dao knew at a glance that this person must have spent a lot of effort with his old nose in order to find himself, but he couldn't explain it.
He had no choice but to ask, "Uncle Di, are you coming to me alone?" Moreover, why are the officials in a hurry to summon me? β
"Of course not! As for why, don't you know it after you meet the official family? Come with me! Dean was a little anxious, so he didn't say it politely at all. It took most of the day to find this child, can he not be in a hurry?
If he hadn't happened to meet that person, Dean might not have been able to complete the task given to him by Song Shenzong before the palace gate was locked.
The emperor summoned him, and Cai Dao had no way to refuse.
Glancing at the people around him, Cai Dao thought that when he entered the palace, even if he couldn't get out after the palace door was locked, anyway, he was young and didn't need to be too taboo, and he could survive one night in a small hall arranged casually, but what about these people around him?
"Uncle Di, since you are not here alone, then please arrange someone to go to the palace for instructions, how do I arrange these people?" Cai Dao thought about it again and again, and could only have a showdown with Dian.
When Di An heard this, he frowned and said impatiently: "Cai Gongzi, it's just a few subordinates, why bother to mobilize the people, just let them go back to Cai's mansion by themselves." Moreover, it is not in accordance with the rules. β
"If we can go back to Caifu, why should we come out! The rules are set by people. Uncle Di, I'm not trying to embarrass you, I'm just passing on a word. If you don't want to, unless you tie me up to see Your Majesty today. Otherwise, we have nothing more to say, and we will not be accompanied! Cai Dao was very worried about the few of them staying outside.
It's not that I'm worried about the security of Bianliang City, but I'm worried about his cheap father, if he comes to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and he happens to be absent, and he can't find himself, he can only take a few of them to vent his anger.
In the final analysis, the identities of Cai Bucket and several of them are just subordinates of Cai Mansion, and when the time comes, it is not Cai Bian alone who has the final say.
As soon as Dean heard this, he finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and pulled out the rope from his waist, really preparing to tie Cai Dao into the palace.
"Slow!" At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, and this voice was quite harsh in this wilderness. As soon as Cai Dao heard it, he guessed that it was very likely that he was a eunuch this time.
Sure enough, when the person came to the front on horseback, he saw that the other party's dress was indeed the eunuch in the palace, and it was Cai Dao's acquaintance, the little eunuch Liang Shicheng.
"Your Majesty's Commandment, Di Take!"
"Minister, Dean takes the order!" Dean hurriedly jumped off his horse, got down on one knee, and said loudly.
"Quickly escort Cai Dao and his party into the palace, there must be no mistake, Qin this." Liang Shicheng had a small face and a serious face, and when he read the dictation, he always tried to imitate the tone and demeanor of Song Shenzong when he spoke.
Everyone present, hearing Song Shenzong's dictation, was all puzzled by the second monk, could it be that Your Majesty did not know the prophet, otherwise how could he know the current situation so clearly!
Hua Qiyi on the side was scared stupid, and when he heard that this little boy was the nephew of Kaifeng Mansion, he was already very surprised.
Who would have thought that this doll could be personally summoned by Song Shenzong, that is today's official family!
"Uncle Hua, thank you for helping us so much today. A little money is not a tribute. We'll see you later! Take care! After saying that, Cai Dao didn't care whether Hua Qianqi was in a daze or not.
He escaped from his bosom a piece of silver, about six or seven cents in weight, and when he put it into his bosom, he turned his horse's head and followed Dian's horse, preparing to leave Wanshouguan.
Suddenly remembered that this view of longevity is also a landscape of Bianliang City, maybe this is also part of the branch task "Leaving a Famous Spot in Bianliang".
Therefore, ignoring Di'an's objections, Cai Dao wrote another pair of peach talismans and handed them to Hua Xianyi, asking him to paste the peach talisman to the highest part of the Wanshou Guanshan Gate.
