Chapter 372: Sage
Ma Chao is not always idle, not long after Bai Wuchang's incident, Ma Chao was promoted and became the commander of the Ma Army. When I got to this position, the work to be done was not as simple as managing the horse, and some of the work of protecting the royal family had to be taken on.
No, Ma Chao received an order to protect a saint into the city.
"What is a saint?"
Ma Chao's first thought was similar to Wang Cheng's, and he felt that the signboard of the saintess sounded like a swaggering master, and he was also a big liar who deceived the royal family.
But I heard that this saint has a great history, dating back to the first emperor.
During the Song Gaozong period, there was a Taoist priest named Huangfutan. It is said that Huangfutan, like other warlocks, is good at the art of matching people. If this is just the case, Huangfu Tan will not be trusted by Gaozong and become a national teacher. In the palace, he still has a lot of legendary skills, such as digging for water, changing shapes, and it is said that there is also a bit of stone into gold and alchemy.
Huangfu Tan lived in Qingxu Nunnery, paying attention to the cultivation of inner and outer Dan. It is said that he often "sat down and couldn't sleep." For a long time, the outer ankles of both feet are flat, and the top is pearlescent. The Taoist priest Yun in the mountains is seventy-two years old, and although his face is not as good as twenty years ago, his face is still full of red light, and his old age is not obvious. These are the manifestations and reflections of his internal strength reaching a certain level.
Although Huangfu Tan lived in Qingxu Nunnery, he was not quiet and empty, but was often summoned into the court by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to ask questions. Gaozong sat in meditation in the palace, and he was summoned to the Kangshou Palace, accompanied by attendants, and listened to the tune at any time. Later, he entered the palace three times to answer questions. After Song Xiaozong Zhao Tuan ascended the throne, he was still not idle, and was ordered by the king to carry incense to and from Lushan and Qingcheng Mountain four times, praying to the gods on his behalf. Because he was very important in the minds of the Song Emperor, the Taoist disciples listened to the wind and attached themselves, "Daoliu Xianji", in order to dip in glory, so that Qingxu Nunnery was once famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and Huangfu Tan called it a saint.
The saint is the apprentice of Huang Futan, and it is said that she looks as beautiful as a fairy, and wherever she goes, whether it is a noble or a poor, she automatically kneels down to greet her.
Ma Chao himself has eaten the golden pill and has a certain understanding of the pill, that thing is not a poison made of mercury, it has a certain use. Since Huangfu Tan is alchemizing, presumably his apprentice will not be inferior at all.
Ma Chao received the task, it was the court that received a secret report, someone was going to Pingjiang Mansion to be unfavorable to the saint, and Ma Chao wanted to go to Pingjiang Mansion to take the saint to Lin'an City. Pingjiang Mansion is on the edge of Taihu Lake, and it is a one-day journey to Lin'an City.
This time, not only the Ma Jun in the Ouchi guard, but even the infantry army will also participate. The two armies went on the road together, because Ma Chao was the commander-in-chief, so the management was very loose, and acquaintances on both sides would often greet each other.
At this time, the infantry army came over and looked at Ma Chao with a sad face.
"Why are you so unhappy when you become an official?"
It turns out that this infantry army is Yu Hou is Xuan Yu, in front of the palace, Xuan Yu's archery skills are amazing, Song Xiaozong likes it very much, and directly gave Xuan Yu, and the infantry army is Yu Hou This official position from the fifth grade.
Xuan Yu has never seen Ma Chao, and the person who summoned him was Liu Yunfei, the dog nose of the Shenyu team. I heard that Ma Chao also became Ma Jun Du Yu Hou later, Xuan Yu felt very awkward, the position of the head was only this position, and he and the head were side by side, and he always felt that it was not like that.
Xuan Yu is not a stupid person, he is the Flying Tiger Army, he has participated in the battle of life and death, and the group of people in the Shenyu squad can make the whole country compete if they come out, not to mention the thin boss, the martial boss, the soldier boss, these wizards, and above these wizards, there is also a Ma Chao.
Ma Jun and Bu Jun separated, Xuan Yu never found a chance to explain to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao did not let Xuan Yu return to the team, and later heard that Ma Chao was promoted, so I felt a little better. This time they went out on a mission together, and the infantry army cooperated with the Ma army, and finally let Xuan Yu meet Ma Chao.
"Being an official, I don't want to be an official, head, when will I return to the team?" (To be continued.) )
