Songshan, Shaolin, and Cao Ziheng walked up slowly, and more than half a month had passed since Kaifeng rescued Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xu.

It turns out that everything is going well, Wu Xingyun's Duzun Gong is indeed the savior of life and death, Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji both recovered quickly after being instilled by Wu Xingyun's Duzun Gong, although the speed is far less fast than Cao Ziheng's, but the two are indeed evolving in a good direction.

As soon as he recovered, Zhao Ji immediately changed the defense of Western Xia and Khitan, which was changed from the passive defense of the Empress Dowager Gao to a more active defense.

Qiao Feng was extremely excited about Zhao Ji's actions, this man had been fighting against Western Xia and Khitan all his life, and it was really joyful to meet such a hawkish emperor at this time.

The relationship between the martial arts and the imperial court in this era is extremely strange, most of the time the martial arts people try their best to avoid having a relationship with the imperial court, but more often the martial arts people want to be recognized by the imperial court.

In fact, further forward, during the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts people were even proud of being selected by the imperial court, and the first swordsman in the world at the end of the Tang Dynasty was an official of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Song Dynasty was weak, it disappointed the people in the martial arts, but it was not as bad as the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang relied on Mingjiao to seize the country, but immediately turned his face and destroyed Mingjiao, which made the entire Jianghu and Mingjiao separate.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, although the weakness of the imperial court disappointed the people in the martial arts, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, started by force, and a set of Taizu long fists and Taizu stick methods were also widely spread in the rivers and lakes, so Qiao Feng had no scruples about cooperating with the imperial court.

As for the beggar gang, it is impossible to oppose Qiao Feng's decision.

At this moment, I am afraid that Qiao Feng has already led the disciples of the Beggar Gang to cooperate with the Song Dynasty army to prepare to attack Western Xia.

With the help of Li Qiushui, Cao Ziheng believed that there was no possibility of failure in such an attack, so Cao Ziheng had no intention of interfering in the matter of attacking Western Xia.

He came to Shaolin to solve the worries of the Qiao Feng incident.

Shaolin, from the thirteen stick monks to save the Tang King to become famous, to now hundreds of years have passed, in the martial arts has long been the existence of Mount Tai Beidou, which also shows that martial arts and the imperial court are actually absolutely inseparable, Shaolin If there is no thirteen stick monks, where can it become the first major faction of the Central Plains martial arts.

Of course, no matter how strong Shaolin is, but the three princes arrived, Shaolin did not dare to ignore it, Cao Ziheng has not yet arrived at the main gate of Shaolin, starting from the abbot, including the Luohan Hall, the Discipline Hall, the Dharma Hall and other Shaolin's most important elders have been waiting at the gate of the Shaolin Temple.

"There is Master Lao to welcome you."

Cao Ziheng looked at Xuan Ci and said with a smile on his face, this Shaolin abbot is indeed a good person, although he has committed the precepts, but he has also washed away this shame with his own life.

"The old man welcomes the son of the world to Shaolin."

Xuan Ci honestly made a gesture of invitation, although it is the first school of martial arts in the Central Plains, and although it is highly respected, since the Shaolin Temple is in the territory of the Song Dynasty, Xuan Ci can never ignore the majesty of the Zhao and Song royal families.

Of course, in addition, Xuan Ci is probably still worried about Cao Ziheng's intentions, you must know that the people in the martial arts respect the court not only because of their backbone, but also because they are afraid of being calculated.

After all, in the eyes of the imperial court, people in the martial arts are just martial artists, except for some force worthy of use, there seems to be nothing else to be valued.

"Xiao Wang has long heard the deeds of the thirteen stick monks to save the Tang King, and the Shaolin Temple is also a first-class righteous person, and when I see it today, this Shaolin is really majestic, and it is a very good scene."

Cao Ziheng strode into the temple, at this time, Cao Ziheng's cultivation was already thorough, not to mention Xuan Ci, even if the martial arts people in the Tianlong World were added up, they might not be able to catch up.

Xuan Ci may not have Cao Ziheng's power to feel the cultivation of others, but he is by no means an ordinary feeling for masters.

At this moment, walking beside Cao Ziheng, Xuan Ci could also feel a trace of indifferent pressure.

"Master Xuanci, help Xiao Wang arrange a meditation room, Xiao Wang plans to stay in Shaolin for a few days, if there are warrior monks in Shaolin who want to learn from the thirteen stick monks of the year, Xiao Wang is waiting for him at any time."

Walking into the Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ci hadn't said anything yet, but Cao Ziheng had already said with a smile.

I probably didn't expect Cao Ziheng to be so direct, Xuan Ci was slightly stunned, Thirteen Stick Monks, this is to recruit soldiers in Shaolin.

Close to the imperial court, Shaolin did not object, and Xuan Ci, who conscripted or something, had no opinion, but Xuan Ci was not sure whether Cao Ziheng's conscription was really to deal with foreign clans.

If it was against a foreign race, Xuan Ci would raise his hands in favor, even if he wanted to go into battle in person, but if it was used for internal fighting, even if it was just to send a Shaolin monk, Xuan Ci would oppose it.

"I don't mind if Xiao Wang will promote it in the Shaolin Temple later."

Cao Ziheng didn't wait for Xuan Ci to fully react and spoke again, publicity, propaganda in the temple, this is a must, Xiao Yuanshan is hiding in Shaolin Temple is certain, and he has been hiding for more than ten years, it can be seen that Xiao Yuanshan is cautious, if he does not vigorously publicize, I am afraid that Xiao Yuanshan will definitely not know.

"Little prince, the old man will ............ during the evening class."

Slightly stunned, Xuan Ci immediately spoke, and vigorously publicized this matter in the temple, Xuan Ci was not unacceptable to this matter, but what Cao Ziheng said seemed to have been premeditated, and Xuan Ci subconsciously wanted to oppose it.

"That's too slow, Xiao Wang doesn't have much time, so it's better to start promoting it from now on."

Cao Ziheng interrupted Xuan Ci's words, and then waved his hand to the back, and immediately, a group of soldiers scattered and sent out leaflets one by one.

Well, the era of flyers has long existed, but the advertising slogans of later generations have not yet existed in this world, and Cao Ziheng on those leaflets is even more equipped with paintings that make people's blood boil.

Xuan Ci just glanced at it casually, and immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at the same time, he also found himself the reason why Cao Ziheng forcibly asked him to publicize, and the paintings and words on the leaflet couldn't help but boil even if he saw it.

If it weren't for the limitation of his identity, I am afraid that Xuan Ci would have the urge to follow Cao Ziheng to attack Western Xia and Khitan, and take back the Chinese land seized by the barbarians.

All in all, these leaflets just said one thing, that is, to destroy the Western Xia, destroy the Khitan, and drive these barbarian races out of the Central Plains.

After a whole day of publicity, there were really many Shaolin monks who took the initiative to find Cao Ziheng.

This is a windfall for Cao Ziheng, he came to Shaolin to solve the sequelae of the Qiao Feng incident, but these Shaolin warrior monks are also what Cao Ziheng needs.

You must know that unlike other sects, the warrior monks of Shaolin have more rules.

Morning and evening classes, as well as when practicing martial arts, the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple all act collectively, although they are still a little different from the army, but they are already more suitable for integration into the army than ordinary people.

In the evening, Cao Ziheng took the initiative to ask for a remote meditation room, although Xuan Ci did not understand what he meant, but he still respected Cao Ziheng's meaning.

The night gradually spread, and in the second half of the night, Cao Ziheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed and was exercising, when suddenly, a faint fluctuation appeared from the window, which was an extremely hidden fluctuation, but the breath inside was extremely strong.

This kind of hidden breath, this kind of fierce breath, Cao Ziheng's eyes opened, and it must be Xiao Yuanshan.

Shaolin Temple is good at hiding Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, however, the latter's martial arts are far more complicated than Xiao Yuanshan's, and Murong Bo's character is not the slightest bit fierce or the like, so the only person with a strong breath in the heart can only be Xiao Yuanshan.

"The windows are not closed, and friends from outside can come in and talk."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Cao Ziheng's mouth, his wrist moved slightly, and the window was instantly opened.

At this time, if it was Murong Bo outside, he might have chosen to leave directly, but Xiao Yuanshan's personality is the same as Qiao Feng's, fierce and unmatched, even if he has been hiding in Shaolin for more than 30 years, he still moves forward bravely when he encounters things.

"Your Excellency is indeed a master."

A black shadow jumped in from the window, but his face was wrapped in a black scarf, but, no matter how he hid it, he looked very tall, and he was eighty percent similar to Qiao Feng.

"I just wonder why you need to go to Shaolin to find any warrior monks with your martial arts, and why did your Excellency deliberately leave the words to destroy the Khitan on that list."

The man faced Cao Ziheng across the table, and although his voice was low when he spoke, his tone was with a momentum that would make sense if he couldn't make sense.

Obviously, even if he had already felt Cao Ziheng's strength, Xiao Yuanshan had no intention of retreating.

"Xiao Yuanshan, take down your face towel, I actually came to Shaolin for you."

Cao Ziheng got up from the bed, slowly walked to the table, reached out and lifted the kettle on the table, poured two glasses of water, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yuanshan.

This is another invitation, of course, it can also be seen as a provocation, Xiao Yuanshan sat down opposite Cao Ziheng and drank the breathless water glass, as if drinking a spirit.

"You are the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not strange that you came to me, but you didn't use the army to arrest me, let's say, what do you want me to do, but I won't do anything about betraying Da Liao."

Xiao Yuanshan drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, and tore off the face towel with his hand, he was also a bold man, and it was really not his character to hide it.

"Qiao Feng, or should be called Xiao Feng, now he is my person, and he is very happy, let me tell you good news, there is a good girl who has taken a fancy to him, maybe he will have a good marriage soon."

Cao Ziheng laughed and said as if chatting.

Xiao Yuanshan's body trembled, Qiao Feng, this is the person he cares about the most in the world, in the original book, Xiao Yuanshan has been hiding in Shaolin for more than 30 years, if it weren't for Qiao Feng's identity being revealed, maybe he would continue to hide, and there may not be no one who doesn't want to affect Qiao Feng's mentality.

After all, he is an instructor of the Khitan, but Qiao Feng is the leader of the beggar gang and a big hero of the Han people.

"Feng'er, it's your person."

Xiao Yuanshan stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly on the table, but a faint complicated look flashed on his face, the royal family, the first thing that came to mind in Xiao Yuanshan's heart was the battle for the throne.

Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, the royal family of the Khitan is endlessly strife, and Xiao Yuanshan doesn't know how many royal families have died in the battle for the throne.

Now, Cao Ziheng said that Qiao Feng was his person, and Xiao Yuanshan's first thought was that Cao Ziheng subdued Qiao Feng and planned to compete for the throne of the Great Song Dynasty.

"He is now preparing for the war to destroy the Western Xia under the command of the official family and the current crown prince, and his beggar gang itself is extremely combative, and this time we put him behind the enemy line and specially burned the armaments of the Western Xia army, so I believe he will do a very good job."

Fortunately, Cao Ziheng quickly let Xiao Yuanshan know that he had guessed wrong, and since Qiao Feng was now under the command of Zhao Ji and Zhao Xu, it was naturally impossible for Cao Ziheng to use it as a tool to compete for the throne.

"What the hell are you looking for me?"

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes sharpened, it was a good thing to guess wrong, but it was more uneasy, Xiao Yuanshan only knew that there was no free lunch in the world, Cao Ziheng was so good to Qiao Feng, it could never be kind, it could only be a deeper plan.

"Not long ago, someone found out that Qiao Feng was a Khitan person, and several people with sinister intentions wanted to be unfavorable to Qiao Feng, and I admired Qiao Feng very much, so I helped him ............."

Cao Ziheng slowly opened his mouth and told him how he could help Qiao Feng.

What kind of latent plan, what Xiao Yuanshan is the descendant of the lurkers sent by Zhao Kuangyin back then, these words made Xiao Yuanshan's eyes widen, and when it came to the reason why Xiao Yuanshan had a Han master was also because of this identity, Xiao Yuanshan almost didn't lose his voice and exclaimed.

This lie is simply ridiculous, but the identity of Xiao Yuanshan's master is extremely mysterious, except for Xiao Yuanshan and his master himself, no one in this world really knows the true identity of his master.

If Xiao Yuanshan's side does not refute Cao Ziheng's words, then these words will become true.

"Qiao Feng is used to fighting for the Han people, he is very happy in this life, and Qiao Feng has countless friends in the Central Plains, he likes it here, and similarly, he is also willing to be a hero of the Han people, and the next one is up to you, whether to let Qiao Feng continue to be a hero of the Han people, or let Qiao Feng go back to Khitan with great sadness."

After Cao Ziheng finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, looked at Xiao Yuanshan and said again, "By the way, I found out who set the trap back then, and asked Xuan Ci to ambush you." ”

With a very earth-shattering sentence, Xiao Yuanshan stood up violently, and looked at Cao Ziheng with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Who is it?"

Angry words spit out from Xiao Yuanshan's mouth, at this moment, Cao Ziheng finally determined that the hatred in Xiao Yuanshan's heart had not disappeared, but this person was also a hero, but he did not intend to anger those deceived warriors, or that sentence, if Qiao Feng had not had an accident in the original book, this man would not have been nonsense for the rest of his life.
