Zhao Dezhao has followed the secret passage to the Yuanshan Temple, and the temple is still impassable, since it has become a place to detain Li Yu and other family members, the monks in the temple have been patrolling the temple every day, and the security on the side of the White Lotus Pavilion is the strictest, and even a bird can not enter.

As soon as the abbot of the Yuanlian Temple saw Zhao Dezhao, he immediately came out to greet him, and on the winding path of the ancient temple, the abbot immediately informed him of the news of the visitors from Yangzhou.

Zhao Dezhao immediately set off, hurriedly went to the hall, and when he arrived at the door of the hall, suddenly a black shadow jumped out from behind the door, this was a burly man, and then waved his fist towards Zhao Dezhao's front door.

The man was wearing a black fist in his right hand, and his whole body leaned forward, and a fist had been swung out, and suddenly he stood on tiptoe, and his body tossed and turned, like a light and agile snake.

Zhao Dezhao saw that this person's fist had been swung out, and his body was also facing him, and the bodies of the two were also close together. The right hands of the two were facing each other, and the two fists had already touched face to face, Zhao Dezhao suddenly had a smile on his face, he picked up the other person's other hand, reached all the way up along the wrist, and pulled the person into his arms with a snap of his fingers.

That person was caught off guard, and he was really pulled over by Zhao Dezhao so easily.

Zhao Dezhao suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time, your skills are still good, Dezhao admires it." After speaking, Zhao Dezhao let go of the man's hand.

The man withdrew his hand, straightened his body, stood back in place, with a surprised expression, and said: "You are the same, I thought you were not in the capital, and all martial arts would be pulled down, but I didn't expect that I tried my best, and I couldn't beat you anymore." I'm ashamed. ”

This person is Wan Song, when he said this, he was a little happy for him, it seemed that this righteous brother had learned some martial arts in such a short period of time, but he was better than his righteous brother, and then he remembered that he had come here, and said, "Oh, that's right." Brother Zhao is good in Jinling now, my father-in-law asked me to come this time, I also hope to solve the situation in Jinling, I heard my father-in-law talk about ghosts and sorrows, as if there was something hidden in his expression, and I don't know what he wants to say? He also specially ordered me to come to Jinling, saying that there was a surprise? ”

Zhao Dezhao's face was suspicious, this time Wan Song came to Jinling, it also made him a little unbelievable, he remembered that Wan Song was not in Jiangnan at the moment, so he asked: "Surprise?" Didn't the stepfather say anything else? ”

Wan Song said: "Why don't you say much about this? However, my father-in-law also said that he would come to Jinling in a few days, saying that he had not returned for a long time, and asked me to inform my eldest brother to come, I don't know what the hell my father-in-law is doing? Wan Song wasn't sure why his father-in-law let him come here this time, but looking at Yang Meng's expression, it seemed that there was something hidden in his heart, and now this made Wan Song guess Yang Meng's intentions.

Zhao Dezhao looked thoughtful, and then said: "My father-in-law has never been so brainless, he may not be able to say anything directly, and he will definitely tell you about me when he arrives in Jinling." "He's in the house

Wan Song then said: "I hope so, but this time I came here and heard that Li Yu was locked up in this Yuanshan Temple, and we will immediately transfer Li Yu to Yangzhou, and all the plans can be carried out in an orderly manner." "Wan Song also planned to send Li Yu safely to Yangzhou in the Song Kingdom this time.

Zhao Dezhao then pointed to the location of the White Lotus Pavilion in the distance, and said, "Li Yu is in the White Lotus Pavilion of the Yuanlian Temple, in order to ensure that things are safe, after dark, you can set off to take them out of here." ”

Wan Song walked out of the door, raised his head and said, "As soon as Li Yu leaves, half of the situation in Jinling is already under your control, and finally the next step will be easier." ”

Facing Wan Song, listening to what he said, Zhao Dezhao smiled, silently, just nodded, Li Yu has another use next, but now that he is in his own hands, he has to play this role.

Wan Song said cautiously: "Don't say much, let's start tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" The carriage and people have already stopped at the gate of the temple and will leave as soon as it gets dark. ”

Night is starting to fall again, the temperature is starting to drop again, and the winter nights come too quickly and quickly. On the same night, the end of the Yuanshan Temple was preparing to send Li Yu and others out of the temple with a carriage and horses, and the carriage and horse stopped at the gate of the temple, and Li Yu and others were escorted to the car because they had been fed ecstasy in advance.

After everything was done, Wan Song got into the carriage, and Zhao Dezhao put on a cloak, stood beside the carriage, and looked at the carriage in the distance: "Brother Yi, go all the way." ”

"Take care and see you later." Wan Song then planned to take Runzhou and go directly to Yangzhou from the ferry. And after arriving in Runzhou, Wan Song still has a task, that is, Lin Renzhao.

The carriages and horses in the distance had completely disappeared on the horizon, and Zhao Dezhao stood in the wind for a long time, and then went directly to the West Wing.

……

Tonight, far north.

Kaifeng City has been in the snow, the north winter is very cold, icy and snowy, and the river of Kaifeng has always hired people to break the ice, the sound of clicking the ice in the dark night.

In the north of the city, in the Liangcheng Inn next to the river, Yang Meng and Lao Jiu have been sitting face to face on the soft couch, and the warm kang in the house has been continuously providing heat, and a pot of West Lake Longjing on the table has just been washed.

Lao Jiu saw Yang Meng's expression with a trace of sadness, his gaze stayed on Yang Meng in front of him, his lord, and suddenly he said: "Lord, are you still thinking about the past?" ”

Yang Meng suddenly lowered his head, his expression was very complicated, there was self-blame, relief, and complaint in his eyes, and he looked at the information on the table, and then he said to himself: "I really didn't expect him to be alive, I don't know how he has lived all these years, after the fire overnight, the entire palace was turned to ashes overnight, and I don't know how he survived all these years?" ”

Lao Jiu saw that the lord's expression was complicated, and he said in a low voice: "Lord, everything has passed, and he is still alive in this world, which is the best reward for the lord, what is the lord not worried about?" ”

Yang Meng's expression suddenly calmed down, and he said: "I can understand that he has always been obsessed with revenge, I have let go of revenge a few years ago, and now I also want him to give up revenge, this time we plan to go to Jinling and meet him in person." A person who is persistent and vengeful, presumably because he has experienced pain, but he is too persistent, and only I can personally come forward to solve all this and let him let go of all this. ”

Lao Jiu said slowly: "After a long time, the lord has not arrived in Jinling City for a long time, it seems that this time I can solve a lot of things, and I can also help the young master a lot, as for that matter, I think he will understand the lord's decision after seeing the lord, and it will be a matter of time before he lets go." ”

"It can indeed solve a lot, and now the situation in Jinling has been disrupted, and the person behind the implementation does have his share of credit." Yang Meng suddenly got up from the soft collapse, he turned his back, his eyes kept looking at the map of Jinling City, this map was so finely drawn, so that he suddenly felt like he was in it, "In Changchun Hall, you have always regarded me as the master, in fact, I have wanted to retire for a long time these years, because of Zhao'er's insistence, I have to sit on the seat for several years, and as soon as the affairs of the Tang Kingdom are over, I will give the seat of the Lord to Xian, I have thought about it clearly, sooner or later the world will be unified, and this male lord is also your young master, after the unification." Sooner or later, this Changchun Hall will become history. ”

Lao Jiu listened to Yang Meng's words, there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart, he was not sad because Yang Meng wanted to give up the position of the lord to the young master, and everything in Changchun Hall would be decided by the young master in the future, he just felt that Yang Meng had become more and more old because of the affairs of Changchun Hall in recent years, and the young and powerful lord had become history, and sooner or later he and the lord were destined to withdraw from this historical stage.

"Lao Jiu, will you support my decision?" Yang Meng asked rhetorically.

Lao Jiu stood under the candlelight, his figure was stretched with the candlelight, he was silent for a long time, suddenly Yang Meng heard the sound of kneeling on the ground, only to see Lao Jiu He suddenly knelt down, arched his hand and said: "Since Lao Jiu began to follow the Lord, it has been more than 40 years, the Lord has been working day and night for the hatred of the country and the family over the years, Lao Jiu is also looking at it every day and night, Lao Jiu thinks that the Lord is indeed too tired to live these years, and he should relax, and he also listens to the Lord has also let go of the past grievances and hatreds, Lao Jiu feels gratifying and congratulatory to the Lord, but the good news is that the young master is so outstanding, if the Lord hands everything over to the young master, then Lao Jiu will be more at ease. Lao Jiu supported the lord's decision. ”

Seeing this, Yang Meng immediately bent down and stretched out his hand to help, he suddenly saw Lao Jiu's eyes left tears, and he found that his body was becoming more and more rickety, and he was no longer the young and vigorous forbidden army guard back then, he choked and said: "Lao Jiu, you are my good brother, you have been by my side all these years, thanks to you." After this trip to the south, what do you want to do, I won't force you. ”

Lao Jiu suddenly ripped off the black cloth covering one eye, revealing a hollow eye socket, which was lifeless and looked very ugly, and he said excitedly: "Lord, Lao Jiu is willing to be by your side all the time." My Lao Jiu is blind to the Lord, then my life is also the Lord, I am willing to stay by the Lord's side all the time, Lao Jiu has no regrets, and please don't say anything like that. ”

"Lao Jiu, why are you so hard, I mean that the rest of your life should be controlled by yourself, you can live the life you want to live, Xianyun Yehe, or I will ask a matchmaker to help you find a wife."

Hearing this, Lao Jiu got up from the ground and sat back on the soft couch.

The candle shadow was deep, and the two began to recall the past years again.
