Seeing Wang Kunjun and others coming out of the radio room, Xie Tian and Lin Xiaoyu took the lead to greet them. Without waiting for Wang Kunjun and the others to ask, Lin Xiaoyu preemptively said: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, a few of us have something to talk to a few brothers." ”

"Have something to talk to us about?" Wang Kunjun asked puzzledly, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

"We want to talk to a few brothers about going to see Master Tai tomorrow," Lin Xiaoyu explained.

Seeing that the matter was related to the important matter of meeting Master Tai tomorrow, Wang Kunjun also paid attention to it, pointed to his room, and said, "Since this is the case, then everyone go to my room, let's sit down and talk slowly." After speaking, Wang Kunjun took the lead and walked into his room, and the others followed.

After everyone found a place to sit down, Wang Kunjun asked, "Regarding the matter of going to the pavilion to see Master Tai tomorrow, if you have any ideas, just say it, let's all refer to it together." ”

Lin Xiaoyu, Xie Tian and the others "humbled" each other, and finally Lin Xiaoyu spoke: "That's the case, a few of us heard that in addition to the fourth brother, there are only the fifth brother and the eighth brother who will go to see Master Tai tomorrow, and everyone else has to stay in the inn and wait, is that true?" ”

Wang Kunjun nodded and said; "Yes, that's what the commissioners decided."

"But we are also disciples of Master Tai, why don't you take us with you when Weishenme goes to see Master Tai?" Lin Xiaoyu questioned.

At this time, Zhang Wei interjected and explained: "The reason why only the fourth brother, the fifth brother and the eighth brother went this time is mainly because Master Tai lives in the imperial court pavilion, and it will be too eye-catching if there are too many people going there." You also know that when we go, we must take the guards with us, and if we all go, I'm afraid that the guard class will have to follow. When the time comes, more than 20 people will flock to the pavilion, whether it is the pedestrians on the street or the officials in charge of managing the pavilion, they will definitely pay attention to us. However, now that we are just ordinary businessmen, it is not appropriate to make it so conspicuous. ”

"That's it, that's it," Xu Shaoan also helped, "This time even Brother Seven didn't go to see Master Tai, what are you fighting for?" ”

"Of course you said that among the candidates you went," Lin Xiaoyu shook Xu Shao'an with a big white eye.

"Actually, I think several brothers are too worried," Zheng Zhiwei said on the side, "Brother thinks that although the number of our large group of people is not small, if we walk on the street from Liangxiang to Youzhou, it will definitely be more conspicuous." But this is Kaifeng, the most prosperous city in the Central Plains, and the streets are full of pedestrians, which we have already felt when we entered the city. The more than 20 of us walking in such a city don't attract much attention. As for the fear of attracting the attention of the officials of the pavilion, my brother thinks that since Zhao Pu will go with us to see Master Tai tomorrow, then if he is present to communicate with those officials, there should be no problem if there are more of us. ”

Zheng Zhiwei's analysis waited for the positive response of Lin Xiaoyu, Xie Tian and others, and they all said that what they said was very reasonable. Several people began to express their opinions to Wang Kunjun and others, which made them a little overwhelmed. Seeing that the brothers are enthusiastic about seeing Master Tai, if they really don't let them see him, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep peacefully tonight. So, Wang Kunjun and others discussed, and had to agree to the brothers' request, saying that everyone would go together tomorrow, including Xie Tian, Zheng Zhiwei, and Huang Shan, who had not formally worshipped the teacher.

Seeing that their requirements were met, Lin Xiaoyu and the others happily went back to rest. After they left, Wang Kunjun could not go to rest with them. Because the candidate to see Master Tai has changed, the candidate who stays at the inn naturally has to change with him. After all, dozens of guards can't all follow, except for the people in the guard class, the other three squads have to stay in the inn and wait for news. So, Xu Shaoan went to find Chang Shengjun again, told him that Jihua had changed the next day, and assigned him to be responsible for managing the guards left behind in the inn when everyone went to the inn, and asked him to strictly restrain all the guards who stayed at the inn, and never let the guards leave the inn to avoid trouble. Chang Shengjun nodded again and again, saying that he would strictly manage and would never let the guards cause any trouble to you.

After Wang Kunjun and the others gave Chang Shengjun another instruction, they returned to their respective rooms to rest, after all, everyone had to get up early tomorrow to gather at the Zhao Mansion. ,

On the twentieth day of the lunar calendar in the second year of Xiande, "the delegation went south to meet the delegation", so the members got up early. After breakfast, Wang Kunjun called Chang Shengjun again and told him, then cleaned himself up neatly, and rushed to Zhao Pu's house with the brothers who were also neatly dressed, accompanied by twelve guards in the personal guard class.

Since the inn where the "delegation" stayed was not close to Zhao's mansion, in order to hurry, Wang Kunjun and others all traveled by car and horse this time. Fortunately, it was still early, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and their team did not attract the attention of others. With the carriage and horses, the speed of the team was much faster than yesterday, so when they arrived at Zhao's mansion, there was still about half an hour before the agreed time.

The team stopped in front of the Zhao Mansion, and Steward Sun, who was already waiting there, hurriedly greeted him, and while letting everyone into the side hall where he drank last time, he sent his servants to inform his uncle.

Wang Kunjun and the others didn't wait for a while in the side hall, and the brothers Zhao Pu and Zhao Anyi entered the side hall. Unlike the day before yesterday, Zhao Pu today is wearing an official robe, probably to make it easier to deal with the officials of the pavilion for a while.

After everyone greeted each other for a while, Zhao Pu saw that the time was almost up, so he proposed that everyone go on the road immediately, and if they had anything to say, they would continue to say it when they came back after seeing the old fairy of Fuyaozi.

Wang Kunjun and others naturally had no objection to this, and after the brothers and Zhao Anyi said goodbye, they went out of the Zhao Mansion with Zhao Pu, and the carriage of the Zhao Mansion led the way in front, and they rumbled towards the pavilion.

The pavilion of the imperial court is not far from Zhao's mansion, and everyone arrives in a short time under the leadership of Zhao Pu. After the team stopped, everyone got off the car and got off the horse, and a large group of people followed Zhao Pu to the gate of the pavilion. The post keeper in charge of guarding the pavilion saw that there were so many people suddenly coming, and he was first taken aback, and when he saw that the person at the head was wearing an official robe, he felt a little relieved, and hurriedly greeted him.

Because of Zhao Pu's presence, things have become relatively simple. Zhao Pu showed the post guard the intention of these people, and asked Wang Kunjun to hand over Fu Shaozi's letter to the post guard as a token when the post guard entered the ceremony. The post guard heard that the large group of people in front of him were all the disciples of the old immortal of Fuyaozi, and he knew that the saint attached great importance to the old immortal today, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, so after letting everyone wait for a while, he hurried into the hall to report it.

There was not much time, and the post man and the post man who got the news came to the door of the pavilion together. Yi Cheng first greeted Zhao Pu and reported his name and surname. Then the postman, who claimed to be He Qing, led Zhao Pupu, Wang Kunjun and the others - the guards were naturally left outside the door - into the pavilion and took them to the small courtyard where Fuyaozi lived. After He Yicheng pointed out the specific room where Chen Jun's ancestor lived, he said goodbye and went out. Zhao Pu, Wang Kunjun and others thanked him and sent him out of the courtyard.

After sending He Yicheng away, Zhao Pu, Wang Kunjun and others came to the door of Fuyaozi's room, and Yuxuzi, who was the senior brother, stepped forward and lightly slammed the door, and said respectfully: "Master Tai, disciple Yuxu and others came to greet your old man." ”

After a while, I heard the voice of the old fairy Fuyaozi from the house: "Come in." ”

"Yes," Yu Xuzi agreed.

Subsequently, Yu Xuzi and Wang Kunjun asked Zhao Pu to go first. Zhao Pu naturally excused himself again and again, saying that he was an outsider, so how could he be the first to enter the door. The two sides made concessions again, and Yu Xuozi and Wang Kunjun saw that Zhao Pu insisted on his own opinion and did not dare to let Master Tai wait for a long time, so they were no longer humble, pushed open the door, and walked into the room in turn.

When everyone entered the room, they saw the old fairy Fuyaozi meditating on the chair with his eyes closed. All the disciples hurriedly lined up in order, led by Yu Xuzi, and respectfully saluted Master Tai.

When they had finished their salutes, they stood up from the ground, and all of them stood at the side of the Fushako with their hands down. At this time, Fu Yaozi opened his eyes slightly, first glanced at his disciple, and then saw Zhao Pu in an official uniform on the side. Because he saw that Zhao Pu's eyes were very angry, he stood up, raised his hand and said: "Poor Dao Fuyaozi, dare to ask the adult?" ”

At this time, Wang Kunjun hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "Master Tai, this is Judge Zhao, a friend that the disciple has recently met. The disciples didn't know the path when they first came to Kaifeng, and Judge Zhao was a local person in Kaifeng, so the disciples specially invited Judge Zhao to guide the way. ”

Zhao Pu also hurriedly saluted Fuyaozi and said, "Zhao Pu, the military judge of Chuzhou, has seen Daochang Chen. If you take the liberty to visit, don't blame the Taoist. ”,

Fu Yaozi also saluted: "Judge Zhao is a friend of the apprentice, that is, a friend of the poor Dao, how can he be presumptuous. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Judge Zhao, please take a seat, and watch the tea in vain." ”

"Yes" Lu Yue, the youngest, agreed, while going to the table next to him to pour tea for Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu thanked Fuyaozi for taking a seat, and only after Fuyaozi sat down again did he sit down on the chair. At this time, Lu Yue had already poured the tea, walked over and put it on the table beside Zhao Pu, and said, "Judge Zhao, please drink tea." After speaking, he retreated to his master's side, and like other brothers, he stood respectfully with his hands down, and said no more. In this way, only Fu Yaozi and Zhao Pu were there to talk, and Wang Kunjun and the others completely became listeners.

This is not to say that Wang Kunjun and the others have nothing to say to Master Tai, or that they don't want to talk to Master Tai. On the contrary, they now have a belly of things they want to say to Master Tai. But the problem is that in front of Zhao Pu's big "light bulb", it is not convenient for them to speak, so they have to remain silent for the time being.

Fortunately, Zhao Pu is a smart person, and after saying a few words to Fuyaozi, he realized that he seemed to be a bit anti-customer-oriented. Originally, he was just here to verify the authenticity of the identities of Wang Kunjun and others, and it is said that after the old fairy of Fuyaozi agreed with Wang Kunjun and others, he should say goodbye and leave. It's just that he is full of curiosity about this old fairy who has a high prestige among the people and has many legends, and very much hopes to meet this living immortal and have a good conversation with him, so he followed Wang Kunjun and others in.

At this time, the others have also seen it, and they have said a few words, it is time to say goodbye to the other party and let the master and apprentice say some private words. So, after saying a few more words to Chen Kuan that were not nutritious, Zhao Pu took the initiative to say goodbye to Chen Kuan, Wang Kunjun and others on the grounds that there were still some things to deal with in the house.

Fu Yaozi, Wang Kunjun and others waited for his words, so after pretending to hold on for a while, they no longer insisted. Everyone sent Zhao Pu all the way to the door of the pavilion before waving goodbye to him and returning to Fuyaozi's residence.
