"Under the world, is it not the king's land, the shore of the land, is it not the king's minister, this person from the rivers and lakes of the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it also my people of the Great Song Dynasty? How can the officials not care? ”

Hearing Chen Mao say this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.

If you think about it, this is indeed the case.

If the Great Song Dynasty really didn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes and didn't have half a bit of restraint, how could the world be so peaceful?

Moreover, there is a product hall in the Western Xia, there are Khitan warriors in Daliao, and there are many tantric masters in the Tubo Daxueshan Temple, such as Na Gu Mozhi.

Even the Dali Duan royal family, a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, is almost a martial arts family in itself, and it also has Tianlong Temple as the foundation... It doesn't make sense, there is nothing in the Great Song Dynasty, right?

After all, this is a martial arts world, if the secular emperor doesn't have his own team, and there are no masters under him to guard him, maybe one day someone will be touched into the palace and assassinate your Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Don't doubt it, there will definitely be no shortage of people who want to do this kind of thing, not to mention the enemy countries of Western Xia, Daliao, and Tubo that are enemies of the Song Dynasty, even if it is those martial arts people in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many people want Zhao Xu to die!

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty court definitely has its own masters, that's for sure, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the golden gun duty guarding the palace on the bright side is not comparable to the ordinary martial arts forces.

Not to mention that in the palace, there is a hidden master like Chen Mao... In this way, Lu Zhi now seems to be one of the hole cards in the secret of Da Song.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi's face couldn't help but be a little strange, if he thought about it like this, the Great Song Dynasty, which had almost no presence in the original work, was really not bad at all in terms of strength and heritage.

In the original work, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty court did not end up meddling in the affairs of the rivers and lakes is probably because those court masters need to guard Bianliang City in Tokyo, and they really can't spare the extra strength to care?

Or is it because the strength and strength of those martial arts people in the Great Song Dynasty Jianghu are too strong, so Zhao Xu is a little jealous, and it is not easy to interfere? Or.... Zhao Xu already wanted to let those people in the rivers and lakes consume their own strength internally to maintain the balance of the rivers and lakes court?

Some things, once you go deep and think about them in detail, it is easy for people to think about them and be extremely frightened, but in fact, they are not so complicated and terrifying, but people themselves think too much.

But in any case, this time, the imperial court will inevitably investigate and ask about it, after all, in recent days, there have been masters in the rivers and lakes who have been killed, and even the deputy leader of the beggar gang, Ma Dayuan, is in a bad situation, and the court can't help but pay attention to it.

After all, if this matter is not handled well, and it is provoked by people with intentions, it is easy to cause chaos in the rivers and lakes, and then affect the livelihood of the family, the country, and the people.

In addition, there is a more important point that this matter also involves the beggar gang, and this beggar gang is a rare 'good comrade' in the rivers and lakes.

Zhao Xu has been attacking Western Xia in recent years, among which the beggar gang has helped the court a lot, although they do not nominally belong to Zhao Xu's subordinates, but in a sense, this beggar gang is equivalent to a friendly army to the imperial court, and it is also the kind of friendly army that is very dedicated.

So for the beggar gang, Zhao Xu has always been very concerned, and his impression of them is also very good, and now that the deputy leader of the beggar gang has been killed, of course Zhao Xu can't sit idly by.

It's a pity that there are really not many masters under him, and he still needs to sit in the palace to protect the safety of the palace, and the golden gun duty can't be moved lightly, otherwise it will easily cause the vigilance and backlash of those Jianghu sects.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu finally decided to hand over this errand to Lu Zhi.

When he gave Lu Zhi an official before, Zhao Xu summoned Lu Zhi into the palace to meet him in person, and found an excuse to let Chen Mao fight with him.

And the result of the competition... After Chen Mao went back, he smeared two cans of bone-setting medicine on his body, and lay on the bed for nearly ten days before returning to serve Zhao Xu.

Therefore, Zhao Xu is very relieved about Lu Zhi's ability, but he doesn't know if he will respond to this errand.

However, he is now nominally an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has been treating him well for the past half a year, and his treatment is the highest, and the collection of Taoist books from all over the world has never stopped, so it should be able to make him return to his heart, right?

And Lu Zhi did not think much about it and accepted the matter, although he was basically indifferent to the concept of monarchs and ministers in this era, but in the past six months, he has received a lot of favor from Zhao Xu, and it is really difficult to refuse.

"Since it is the official decree, then the poor road should obey the order." Lu Zhi said.

Chen Mao nodded and said, "Then this matter will be handed over to you, Daoist Lu." ”

As he spoke, he took out the gold medal and handed it to Lu Zhi: "If Daoist Lu encounters any difficulties during this period, you can use this gold medal to find the nearest local government for help." ”

Lu Zhi took the gold medal and put it away casually: "Poor Dao knows, after cleaning up and explaining, Poor Dao can leave... However, after the poor road is gone, the work of this school bookstore, I hope that Chen Du will know that you can send someone to help keep an eye on it. ”

Chen Mao nodded yes, he also knew very well that the reason why Lu Zhi came out was to compile this longevity Daozang, and it was precisely because of this that the imperial court was able to win over Lu Zhi, a master, so of course he would not slack off in this matter.

The next day, Lu Zhi set off with the gold medal given by Zhao Xu, and went all the way to Luoyang, Xijing, where the helm of the beggar gang was located.

Although he actually knew in his heart for a long time what was going on with the death of Ma Dayuan and the assassinated characters, he still had to investigate and make a show.

Moreover, the death of the beggar gang Ma Dayuan also indicates that the plot of Tianlong Babu has officially begun, and some of Lu Zhi's earlier ideas can also be put into practice.

From Bianliang City to Luoyang, it is only a distance of more than 400 miles, and with Lu Zhi's light skills, it takes only one day to arrive in Luoyang City, and directly find the chief helmsman of the beggar gang and ask about the murder of Ma Dayuan.

Seeing that it was from the imperial court, although the people of the beggar gang were not enthusiastic, they were not stupid to embarrass Lu Zhi, but just said that their gang leader Qiao Feng went to Dali a few days ago to investigate the murder of Master Xuanbei of Shaolin, and he was not in the helm, so let him come back later.

After Lu Zhi thought about it, he simply transferred to Dali.

The Northern Spiritual Skill and Ling Bo Weibu hidden in Dali's Wuliang Mountain, if nothing else, have now been obtained by Duan Yu, right? If you have the chance, you can borrow it from him.

There is also the Dali Duan Clan's six-vein divine sword, this mastery of controlling the sword with qi and turning true qi into sword qi makes Lu Zhi extremely interested.

His Yiyang Finger has reached the legendary realm of Yipin, and may even be stronger than Duan Siping, who created this fingering, and he is very familiar with this mastery, and has reached that supreme realm.

And because of the true qi phase, in addition to Taijiquan and the Great Shift of Qiankun, Yiyang Finger is the most convenient martial art he has made, and it is an advanced version of the Six-Vein Divine Sword Peerless Technique with Yiyang Finger, Lu Zhi can be said to be determined to win!

From Luoyang to Dali, the road is a little far, more than 4,000 miles, even Lu Zhi, it took nearly half a month to finally arrive in Dali.
