Leave Tokyo, Yanbian River down, then turn to the Yellow River, pass through Huazhou, Lanzhou, just a few days, straight to the first state capital of Hebei East Road, is also one of the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty Beijing, the famous mansion.

The Daimyo Mansion, located on the south bank of the Yellow River, guards the northwest of Kaifeng, the circumference of the city wall is more than 40 miles, the wall is high and the city is solid, there are also five commanders of the forbidden army and horses stationed in the city, and there are twenty commanders of the infantry army, and there are more than 10,000 people and horses. The current prefect of the Daimyo Mansion is Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Shijie, who also serves as the pacification envoy of Hebei East Road, and is in charge of the military of Fuzhou all the way, which can be described as a high power.

Ximenqing and his entourage got off the boat at a ferry about ten miles away from the city. This time, the so-called Shandong Logistics Institute, the original proposal was to set up a subordinate government in Qingzhou, but later at the suggestion of Ximenqing, the government office was moved to the remote Dengzhou. It is precisely because of this that Ximen Qingcai concurrently served as the deputy envoy of the regimental training of the Dengzhou Naval Division, which is not only a military position, but also deserves to be actually dispatched to facilitate his logistics in Dengzhou.

This time he left Beijing, but Shi Qian was left in the capital, continuing to maintain and expand his underground power in Tokyo, thinking that with Ximen Wazi's money and financial support, the "flea on the drum" will definitely be able to show his strength, I believe that in another year and a half, the tentacles of this news network will surely extend to the Goolan Washe in the capital, among the three religions and nine streams. At that time, although his family is in Shandong, but there is news from the Taiwei Mansion on the official face, and there are times to move lurking in the market, and the big and small matters of Tokyo City, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape their ears and eyes.

However, there is no smart person like Shi Qian around him, and Ximenqing feels quite inconvenient along the way. Although the Ma brothers are skilled, when it comes to other chores, they can't move at that time.

A group of three people originally planned to stay overnight in the Daimyo's Mansion, but they didn't want to get off the boat when it was almost dusk, so they could only find a thatched wild shop to hang out for one night. But I didn't want to walk three or four miles away from the ferry, but I only saw a temple, located in the mountains, and there was not a single wine store on the side of the road.

At this hour, the gate of the Daimyo's Mansion is afraid that it has been closed, don't think about entering the city tonight, the three of them are thinking about the roadside when they are at a loss, but there is a young monk with a clear face and a sharp body on the road in the distance, walking like a fly, and after a while, they will be in front of the three of them.

"This master stops for a moment!"

There was no one on the left and right, and finally met one, Ximenqing hurriedly stopped the monk, and asked very politely, "The three of us want to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, and I don't want to miss the accommodation, I don't know if there is a hotel near the left that can stay for one night?" ”

The young monk looked Ximen Qing up and down, and then glanced at the Ma brothers who were following behind him, and said with a smile on his originally solemn face: "After this Xianggong, there is only that Bao'en Temple near the left for a temporary stay, and it just so happens that I also want to return to the temple, if I don't dislike it, dare to lead the way for the Xianggong!" ”

This idea, the word Xianggong is not called indiscriminately, it is only a Wenchen or a student in Taixue who has an official status to get this title, and ordinary people will definitely not be commensurate with Xianggong.

The monk in front of him has a vicious eye, but after a few glances, he guessed Ximenqing's identity as the best of ten, and this ability to observe people alone may not be slightly worse than at that time.

Ximenqing is lacking such a clever person around him, and he immediately has a little intention of soliciting in his heart, but now he meets each other and is not familiar with each other. Since this monk can say this, then he can't say that he needs to spend the night in the Bao'en Temple tonight, but he can take the opportunity to have a deep conversation with him to understand his character and performance.

Speaking of which, now the official family worships the Tao and suppresses the Buddha, the monk's life is afraid that it is not good, this person is young, he may not be willing to live this life, if he really has to use the character, he promised him a future, how can he worry that he will not sell himself to take refuge.

Along the way, Ximenqing found that this monk was also very interesting, the market slang jokes continued, and the Zen machine in the Buddhist scriptures was also very popular and ingenious, which was quite similar to the brain teasers in later generations. It can be seen that this monk is not a virtuous monk, but more like a monk who wanders around the market and does Buddhist things with others.

The four of them walked all the way, and soon arrived in front of the Bao'en Temple. I saw that this temple covers an area not wide, the temple is not numerous, but the monk at the temple gate is very rare, delicate and powdery, a handsome monk of twenty times.

This Bao'en Temple is an outstanding person, and the two people I have met in a row at home, if they are still vulgar, I am afraid that they are all handsome people.

"The West Gate Xianggong, the east courtyard here is the place of the male laymen in the temple, and today the Xianggong and his entourage are here to rest for one night. The small temple is simple, if there is any neglect, please forgive me! ”

"I've been tired of Haigong all the way, and tomorrow I will add some sesame oil money in front of the Buddha, thinking that it is merit!"

After leading Ximen Qing and his entourage to a courtyard in a temple and settling the three of them, the young monk with the name Haigong immediately resigned and left.

This courtyard is quite exquisite, not like the place of Buddhism to cultivate, but more like the house of the rich and noble, all the utensils in it are made of pear wood, although not as much as the red sandalwood, nanmu and other precious wood, compared with ordinary people also pay much more attention.

This Bao'en Temple looks from the outside, the scale is not large, but the inside is really extraordinary. Just now with the sea prince all the way, once passed a palace of the king of heaven, only to see the inside of the decoration of the splendor, the statue of the king is also a piece of gold powder on the body, there are two people hugging the thickness of the vats a few mouths, the inside is full of sesame oil, I think it is the big family in the mansion of the daimyo to enshrine in front of the Buddha.

The incense here must be extremely prosperous, otherwise where would these things be purchased. I can't say that I can't stay here for one night, but I have to spend some money, and if the three of us are just ordinary travelers, then Hai Gong may not be willing to lure his group here to settle down.

At the time of the lamp, the Hai Gong led two small novices with the same eyebrows and beautiful eyes to send the food, although the dishes are simple, but they are very delicious, even if it is Ximen Qing, it is also quite satisfied. What's more, there is also a pot of slightly medicinal fruit wine, with a fresh aroma and soft wine, which is also a good wine in the mountains and wilderness.

If it was in the past, Ximenqing would definitely not drink alcohol outside, and he was afraid that he would be hit by the most powerful sweat medicine in the rivers and lakes. However, there was a monk Haigong to accompany him during the banquet, and the Ma brothers stayed aside without touching their lips, so he was presumptuous.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ximenqing only felt that the wine was strong, burning a hot belly, and his cheeks were also red, obviously his brain was still very sober, but in the eyes of others, he was already drunk.

"The small temple is slow, not as big as the jungle in Tokyo, but there is a wonderful thing that is not available elsewhere, if the prince is interested, the little monk is willing to be introduced!"
