In Xuandu, in Longquan Temple, the treeless monk boiled tea and handed it to a white-faced old man with a grinning smile next to him.

The old man was like a warm rich man, his eyes narrowed and made a slit, and as a result, he took a sip of the tea handed by Wushu, and couldn't help sighing, and said: "The old man has not drunk the abbot's tea for a long time, and it seems that the abbot is also busy these days." ”

Wushu smiled slightly, brushed his big sleeves, and filled the coffee table with his own teacup, and said: "Gonggong Feng is the real rich and noble person, in front of you, how can the little monk dare to call himself busy?" As he spoke, he stared at the white-faced old man and smiled without saying a word.

It turned out that this old man was Feng Bao, the eunuch on duty in Kunhe Palace who served the Empress Dowager, this person was not low in rank in the harem and had old qualifications, but because the palace eunuchs were mostly dealing with the daily affairs of the palace, they were not as good as the celebrant who had the right to "approve red", so he was always suppressed by Wei Huan, and he could only bow his head and admit it. As for why he appeared in this Longquan Temple at this time, it is unknown.

Feng Bao showed a slightly helpless look at this time, and said: "The master made fun of it, the old body is all this old bones, where is there still wealth to enjoy, it is nothing more than to serve the old ladies well and ask for some food to live." As he spoke, he blinked his eyes, drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, smacked his lips, and looked at Wushu with a smile.

Wushu looked at Feng Bao for a while, and said with a smile: "There are not many people who can admire the monk, and my father-in-law can be regarded as one of them." ”

Feng Bao's eyes opened slightly, and he said with a smile: "Master's words, but how many years do you want the old body to live?" ”

Wushu said: "How dare a monk, this forbearance is not enough, I am afraid that if you see the whole world, no one can match your father-in-law." ”

When Feng Bao heard this, he didn't respond, but looked at the ginkgo biloba in the courtyard with a smile, and sighed faintly: "The master called the old man today, saying that he wanted to see a person, and that person ......" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wushu, and his eyes suddenly revealed a little melancholy.

Wushu said lightly: "This person is also a person in the game, and the changes in the intraday after that may have to be triggered by him." ”

Feng Bao's expression turned to surprise: "Could it be that Mr. Hu who suddenly appeared in Jingshi in recent days?" ”

Wushu smiled: "My father-in-law's ears and eyes are also quite bright!" ”

Feng Bao also laughed and said: "The old body is old, but only this pair of eyes and two ears are still pointed." Saying that, he couldn't help but pause, and said tentatively: "Then this Mr. Hu, but the second master is here?" For him, this question is quite important, although the question is indifferent, but a pair of old eyes shine brightly, very attentive.

Wushu looked at Feng Bao at this time, seemed to think carefully for a moment, and said, "No." ”

The corners of Feng Bao's eyes relaxed, as if he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his eyes turned cloudy again.

Wushu took a sip of tea and sighed: "Now the momentum on the second master's side seems to have stepped up again, and there are fewer and fewer people who expect the ship of Daqi to survive the wind and waves, as you and I do, but in my opinion, that Mr. Hu should be regarded as a fellow practitioner." As he spoke, he also turned his eyes to look at the ginkgo biloba in the courtyard, and suddenly smiled: "Look, just talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”

Feng Bao looked up and saw a businessman-like person with ordinary facial features holding hands under the ginkgo tree, walking towards this direction under the guidance of the Zhike monk.

The person who came was Hu Zhongxian, and he had arranged to see the monk Wushu in his itinerary, but unexpectedly yesterday when he was talking about the world's articles with the second prince in Liu's mansion, he suddenly had a door steward with an invitation letter to him, naming and inviting Hu Zhongxian to go to Longquan Temple the next day.

Although this slightly disrupted Hu Zhongxian's rhythm, he knew that there was no room for shirk at this time, so he responded immediately.

At this time, the monk led him to the presiding meditation room, Hu Zhongxian bowed and saluted, his eyes swept Feng Bao slightly, as if he had a trace of doubt. Feng Bao always closed his eyes, his expression was satisfied, he was completely like an old lady who was full of food, he was resting slightly, Hu Zhongxian hugged his fist at him, and he only didn't know it.

Wushu washed a teacup at this time, put it in front of Hu Zhongxian, flipped his palm, and made a gesture of please.

Hu Zhongxian owed a little debt, and he was not polite, so he sat down.

Wushu looked at Feng Bao and smiled at Hu Zhongxian: "Don't worry about him, he is old and weak, and he can fall asleep at any time." As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and glanced at Hu Zhongxian, and then smiled in surprise: "By the way, the poor monk hasn't introduced him to Mr. Hu yet...... He, he is the father-in-law of the current head of Kunhe Palace, Feng Bao. As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Hu Zhongxian, understating the whole process.

Hu Zhongxian seemed to be shocked all over, turned his head to look at Feng Bao, and the pupils in his eyes suddenly constricted. Several thoughts suddenly rose in his heart, and they fought with each other:

This person is Feng Bao? Is it the queen mother's envoy eunuch Feng Bao?

Wushu Fang just said "Kunhe Palace", there should be no doubt.

But Wushu called Feng Bao at this moment, could it be that his own plan was revealed? Could the Queen Mother be aware of it?

He thought about a series of his actions, but he didn't have the slightest clue.

Could it be that there was a problem with Wei Huan's link?

But judging by Yan Mu's reaction, he shouldn't have received any kind of intervention from Wei Huan.

Don't......

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, he turned his eyes, and glanced at Feng Bao's crow's feet slightly exposed at the corners of his eyes, although they were very well maintained, they couldn't hide their old age.

I see......

At this time, Wushu raised the teacup, saluted him across the table, and smiled slowly: "Mr. Hu seems to have something on his mind?" ”

Hu Zhongxian also raised his glass and smiled at this time: "The abbot said that he was laughing, he was lonely and unheard, and when he saw the elegance of the Longquan Temple Zen Temple, he was moved by the obsession of watching, and he taught the abbot to make fun of it." ”

Wushu put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "It seems that Mr. Hu can see the slaughter of this cold winter, if you teach the poor monks, the scenery in this courtyard is not half desirable, and it is much worse than the vast seas and vast sky outside." It's really better to learn from the stiff snake, sleep for a winter, and when you wake up again, it is a hundred flowers blooming, and spring is full of joy. After that, he looked at Feng Bao, who was pretending to be asleep, as if he was laughing at him as a dead snake.

Hu Zhongxian heard this, but he couldn't help but be surprised, he heard the wit in Wushu's words, and immediately smiled, and said: "The Buddha said that one flower is one world, one sand and one ocean, although there are no flowers now, but there are three thousand oceans in the sand and soil of the abbot's garden, so why go outside to find it?" As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup, and made a gesture of asking for a word of invitation.

Wushu stared at Hu Zhongxian with interest and said, "Wonderful solution, wonderful solution!" Mr. Hu, has no one really said that you are like a person? ”

Hu Zhongxian's eyes flashed slightly, he lowered his head and played with the teacup, and replied: "Oh, who does the abbot think the little nephew looks like?" As he spoke, his eyes lifted and he looked at Wushu.

When Wushu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "This "little nephew" is really well used, the sacrificial wine is longer than Lianheng, and the monk is good at combining verticals, so he should also be your elder." Then I'm not welcome, so I'll sell you and call you a good nephew. When Hu Zhongxian heard this non-answer, he would take it to heart, and he also smiled. Feng Bao on the side seemed to be disturbed by this laughter, smacked his lips, his small eyes opened slightly into an imperceptible slit, and turned away.

When Wushu saw Feng Bao's situation, he didn't care, and said to Hu Zhongxian: "Inviting the virtuous nephew to come here today, in fact, there is nothing important, just casually talk about the sand and flowers that the virtuous nephew just saw, and the virtuous nephew must not be restrained." He said this casually, and it seemed naughty to put Hu Zhongxian's words into it, but there was a kind of determination inside, which made Hu Zhongxian stunned.

At this point, Hu Zhongxian was no longer polite, and said with a slight smile: "Unrestrained, unrestrained, the little nephew thought that the master was quiet and empty, but he also had the world in mind!" ”

Wushu said: "If you don't have a little persistence, you can only be a spectator in this red dust, although you can be worry-free, but you are also bored." After that, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, as if he wished that the contents of the cup were wine. After this cup of tea, the corners of Wushu's eyebrows seemed to be a little fluttering, and he continued: "You Mengfu have clouds, if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." What does the virtuous nephew think? ”

Hu Zhongxian raised his head with a smile, and a bright color flashed in his eyes and said, "I don't think so!" ”

Wushu said, "Oh? Why. ”

Hu Zhongxian replied: "Mengfuzi's forcible separation of poverty and attainment is far from Confucius's "consistent" way. In the opinion of the little nephew, if you want to help the world, you can achieve the law of help, and the poor also have the law of poverty. Although Meng Fuzi's words have the meaning of persuading people to do what they can, and they can be forgiven, but these words have made the ignorant and foolish people listen to them, but they think that those who have attained it do not need to be good to themselves, and the poor do not need to help the world, which is really a big fallacy. ”

Wushu had a Ning in his eyes, and asked again: "Confucius has also been in the clouds, the state has a way, dangerous words and dangerous deeds, the state has no way, and dangerous deeds are grandchildren." Another cloud, there is a way in the world, and there is no way. What is the solution of the virtuous nephew? ”

Hu Zhongxian's expression was straight, and he asked rhetorically: "What is the Tao?" ”

Wushu showed approval and replied, "There should be a way to do it." ”

Hu Zhongxian suddenly sighed: "Confucius is really a good man, he was afraid that his disciples would cause trouble, so he earnestly warned him. But in the opinion of the little nephew, in the world of no way, although it is not advisable to talk about danger, but when there is no way, it is not a time for a gentleman to hide. These words were generous, and the seemingly mediocre Hu Zhongxian was also dyed with brilliance.

At this time, Feng Bao, who was pretending to be asleep on the side, suddenly slapped his palms slowly, opened his eyelids, and praised: "Good!" As he spoke, he drank a cup of tea for himself and drank it slowly to his lips, but he didn't look at Hu Zhongxian.

Wushu's eyes were burning at this time, staring at Hu Zhongxian, and suddenly said: "Then dare to ask Mr. Hu, when can you hide?" ”

Hu Zhongxian was stared at by these eyes, and the long-pent-up thoughts in his chest seemed to be seen through in an instant, and he couldn't help but shake his whole body, and said: "When hell is empty, when the people are safe, and when heaven and earth are for a while!" He hid this sentence in his heart for a long time, but unexpectedly, he did not keep the door of his heart at this time and blurted it out. In these words, the great wish of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, the four sentences of Zhang Hengqu, and even the words in the Tao Te Ching are all included, which is indeed a miracle.

Seeing Feng Bao's teacup trembling slightly, there was a crisp sound of "ding", Feng Bao seemed helpless, and finally put the teacup on the table. I saw that the teacup had three neat fine lines from the edge of the cup, cracking straight to the bottom of the cup, and at this time, there was tea pouring out, but the teacup was not broken, obviously Feng Bao's feminine internal strength had been practiced to an extremely superior level. But with his patience, when he heard Hu Zhongxian's words, he couldn't help but be distracted, and his internal strength was shattered, and he was shocked when he thought about it.

At this time, Feng Bao put the cup on the table, turned his head to look at Wushu, with a hint of ridicule on his face, and said: "Wushu, this sentence is similar to your wild words back then." ”

A look of memory suddenly flashed in Wushu's deep eye sockets, but he was a little tired, and said with a smile: "Yes, so many years have passed in a flash!" When the monk thinks of those words over the years, he can't help but feel guilty in his heart! As he spoke, he looked at Hu Zhongxian, and suddenly splashed the residual tea in his teacup on the ground, and said: "Virtuous nephew, do you know that since you entered Beijing, you have wandered outside the Ganye Temple in disguise as a small servant, and you have seen Commander Yan, Liu Shoufu, and you have been looking for some wandering artists in the streets and alleys in the past few days. These messages were transmitted back to the ears of the Qin Wangfu and Wei Gonggong from the eyes of Jingzhong, if it weren't for the long-term release, and Liu Shoufu deliberately left you in the Liu Mansion, maybe if you made a slight mistake, the life of the virtuous nephew would be lost! ”

Hu Zhongxian arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the reminder!" But the little nephew wanted to let the insiders know something! ”

When Feng Bao heard this, he couldn't help but be interested, and asked, "Oh? Did you do it on purpose? ”

Hu Zhongxian nodded and replied calmly: "When playing the game, you need to make the chess players on both sides feel that they can control the overall situation, so that as a chess piece, there is a chance in the game!" ”

When Feng Bao heard this, he smiled and said, "High! Then are you going to provoke the two sides to fight each other? As he spoke, he looked at each other and seemed to be extremely curious.

Hu Zhongxian took a deep breath and said, "The opposite, the movement of the Dao!" Only by defeating first can we turn defeat into victory. ”

When Feng Bao heard this, he seemed to understand the literal meaning, but he didn't understand how to calculate it afterwards, so he turned his head to look at Wushu, but saw Wushu pinching his chin with one hand, pondering for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "Then, if you agree to come here to make an appointment, the virtuous nephew must have already calculated, let the monk also come to muddy the water." In the words, it seems that what Wei Qi said.

Hu Zhongxian said with a smile: "Now it seems that the master took the initiative to go to hell. ”

Wushu shook his head and sighed: "The monk is already in hell, but he can't think of a way to make hell empty. After that, he drank the cup of tea in one gulp and said, "The virtuous nephew is more thoughtful than the monk imagined." You knew that Gonggong Wei would not trust you easily, so you wanted to deliberately give the authority to Gonggong Wei, so that he would think that he was spying on the giant gate of King Qin's cronies, but the feedback you gave him was all deliberate, on the one hand, to make Gonggong Wei and King Qin completely opposed, and on the other hand, with the help of Gonggong Wei, let the Qin Palace's palace think that Gonggong Wei had already taken action against him at this time......"

Speaking of this, the words were suddenly taken over by Feng Bao, but Feng Bao said: "What's even more hateful is that Mu Yun was actually implicated by your doll at this time, but there are some means...... At that time, the King of Qin can be implicated in the charge of fornicating with the foreign generals, which is not a big pie for Wei Huan! But it's a good means! As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Hu Zhongxian, with an indifferent look in his eyes, although his words were derogatory, but there was a lot of praise in his eyes.

Hu Zhongxian looked at Wushu and Feng Bao at this time, suddenly got up and saluted, and said: "The kid is ashamed, the kid is so slight, in the eyes of the two, it is extremely inadequate. But the two of them can still drink tea with the kid at this time, and they think they are the same people as the kid. His plan was broken, and his heart was naturally moved, but he saw the opportunity quickly, so he had no choice but to say this at the moment, testing the other party.

Wushu made a gesture at this time, motioned to Hu Zhongxian to sit down, and said: "You don't have to be humble, you are so prepared, Gonggong Feng and I have only figured it out in the past few days, but we may not be on the same road as you." We also decided to help you when we saw you go to the Shoufu Mansion and learned that you were with Yan Muyan and Linqing. ”

Feng Bao also nodded at this time and said: "There are a lot of kites that want to borrow the wind and clouds these days, but there are not many real Haidongqing. You don't only have party strife in your heart, but you can do whatever it takes, and that's the person who should help. As he spoke, he glanced at Wushu, stretched out his index finger, dipped in some tea, and slowly wrote two words "Obscure" on the wooden table in front of him, and the tea was dried immediately, but the word "Ming" seemed to be Feng Baoyun's dark neck, a shallow layer, engraved on a few, the nick was not deep, but it was extremely smooth, as if a knife was carefully carved.

Feng Bao looked at the word "Ming" on the table, turned his head to look at Wushu and sighed: "Little monk, think about it twenty years ago, you and I were originally Zhaoming's unwanted people, and later when it was obscure, Araki and we also had different opinions, alas, for so many years, it was really boring to fight back and forth for some things." My old man has no ambition now, he just looks at Wei Huan unpleasantly, what you do, the old body thinks it's very good! Saying that, he staggered up, stretched out his hand and patted Hu Zhongxian's shoulder, Hu Zhongxian suddenly felt a tightrope-like internal force suddenly drill into his shoulder, he was shocked, he didn't know why Feng Bao suddenly made a move, and his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but faint to the side.

Seeing this, Feng Bao didn't think it was any different, and with a wave of his sleeves, he walked out of the door.

Wushu didn't speak, turned his head to stare at Hu Zhongxian, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was calculating in his heart.

————————————

Linqing, Feiyun Building, Liu Baiju sits alone by the railing.

He knew that within ten days, the fire lit here would completely burn to Xuandu, and might even burn the entire Qi Dynasty.

But he still believes that the person he trusts is enough to take on the heavy responsibility and return the world to a bright future.

A strong wind blew, and his sleeves flew together.

Haha, if that's the case, what if I'm left alone?

But......

Liu Baihu looked down at the slightly wrinkled handbook on the table-

Twenty-three days and thirty-three.

Sixty-seven in a hundred?

It's time to do it!

His brows furrowed instantly, and the willow white pot fell into his stomach with a glass of wine, and suddenly he was drunk and fell down, and his green shirt flew away.
