After the four of them gathered, Li Congxin ordered a few urgent things.

First, the emperor was taking refuge in Jiulong Mountain during the summer vacation, and the defense of the capital and the palace could not be relaxed, and Li Hongye was entrusted with responsibility.

The second is that King Xian sent Li Chengwen to Beijing, and Li Chengwen's movements after entering Beijing, as well as his contact with King Xian's Mansion, should be deployed in advance to investigate and handed over to Cui Jingxuan to take care of.

The third thing, in case Gu Jiayi wants to return to the dynasty publicly, how to arrange it needs to be prepared in advance, and Jin Ying should prepare the matter.

After all the arrangements were made for the royal family, the clan, and the courtiers, Li Congxin was relieved to leave Beijing with the delegation in early September.

At this time, Gu Huanyi had already arrived in Liangzhou with the caravan, and after meeting with Cheng Zhi, he incorporated dozens of masters under Cheng Zhi and quietly went out of the customs in the early autumn night.

When Li Congxin led the delegation through Liangzhou, Cheng Zhi told him that Gu Huanyi had been safely out of the customs for five days.

With the holy decree, Li Congxin transferred 30,000 elite soldiers from the Liangzhou border army to guard Sanyang Pass, and responded here in the name of escorting the mission.

Beiyi was a little nervous after knowing that Xuan Guo had deployed heavy troops in Sanyang Pass, but they knew Li Congxin's status in Xuan Guo, and it was not surprising that they were a little guarded.

On the night of early autumn, a cool breeze has blown on the grasslands of Beiyi.

Gu Huanyi walked out of the tent where he was camped in a thin cloak, and saw Zheng Qingzheng and Zhu Yong, the martial arts captain of the Majestic Hall, practicing martial arts around the bonfire.

After some discussion, Zhu Yong was defeated, hugged his fists and said: "The young master is young, but his martial arts are so good, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Cao Gang is really unexpected!" ”

Zhu Yong used to be the retired head of the Gu family's army, Zheng Qing smiled and said to him: "The kung fu you practiced is not the same road as our rivers and lakes, and if you fight alone or I have the upper hand, you can't really protect your family and defend the country." ”

Zhu Yong saw that he was humble, and also touted: "If you want to survive on the battlefield, you have to be strong in kung fu, if the soldiers can have kung fu like yours, why worry about not winning?" ”

Zheng Qing nodded: "Iron still needs to be hard, although we don't have to fight, but when we walk the rivers and lakes, we still need to rely on this ability to eat, otherwise he won't know where he will die." ”

The two sat by the campfire and talked, and Gu Huanyi was listening to their chat when he was fine.

Zheng Qing followed the topic of Fang Cai and said: "If there is a chance, I would like to fight with the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he should be the best combination of the rivers and lakes and the military." ”

Gu Huanyi was a little surprised, because Li Congxin also said that he wanted to learn from Zheng Qing.

Zhu Yong was born in the military, and he had more respect for the status of the prince of Ming, and seeing that Gu Huan was beside him, he was afraid that Zheng Qing would lose his sense of proportion, so he kindly helped him round the field and said: "What is the identity of the prince of Ming, how can he fight with us." ”

Zheng Qing said: "If it is the identity of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I naturally don't dare to make a mistake with him, but he is also a disciple of the Taibai Mountain grass and wood Zhenren, if it is judged as the identity of the rivers and lakes, it is nothing to pass the tricks." ”

When Gu Huanyi saw Fengxi Zhenren before, she had heard that Li Congxin was studying art in Taibai Mountain when she was young, but she was full of things about saving her brother at that time, and she didn't ask in detail.

Now that she heard it, she was very curious, so she asked Zheng Qing: "What is Taibai Mountain, and who is the real person of Cao Mu?" ”

Zheng Qing asked in surprise: "The prince of Ming didn't tell you?" ”

Gu Huanyi said: "I wasn't interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes before, so I didn't ask, but now it's okay anyway, you can come and hear it." ”

Zheng Qing said: "This starts with the founder of Taibai Mountain, Dao Yizhen. Daoyi Zhenren is detached in martial arts, proficient in astronomy, and once had the grace to rescue the emperor. The first emperor wanted to invite Dao Yi Zhenren to go out of the mountain to be the prince's teacher, but Dao Yi Zhenren was not in the court and refused to agree. In order to show his sincerity, the emperor sent King Ming, who was still the prince, and the emperor to go to Taibai Mountain to learn from him. At that time, Daoyi Zhenren had already accepted three apprentices, Caomu Zhenren, Fengxi Zhenren, and one was the deceased Princess Ming. ”

Gu Huanyi was quite surprised, she only knew that Princess Ming was a sinner to remarry, and she didn't know that she was born in the rivers and lakes.

"King Ming and Princess Ming met in Taibai Mountain?"

Zheng Qing said: "It should be, there are many rumors about these things, and what is certain is that Dao Yi Zhenren refused to accept the two princes as apprentices at that time, and sent Cao Mu Zhenren to send them back to Beijing, and Princess Ming went to the capital with him." Later, King Ming gave up the throne, the emperor ascended the throne, and Princess Ming married for the second time, and a lot of things happened in the capital, until King Ming took Princess Ming to the fiefdom of Jiaodong, which calmed down. Later, the prince of the Ming Dynasty came to the world, and the princess of the Ming Dynasty sent him to Taibai Mountain to worship under his senior brother Caomu Zhenren to learn art. said that he worshipped the grass and trees as a teacher, but I heard that it was the Taoist who taught him personally. For so many years, the prince of Ming Wang is the only disciple of Taibai Mountain who has entered the WTO, and I want to learn his martial arts. ”

Gu Huanyi was thinking about why Li Congxin did not have the support of his mother's family, whether it was because Princess Ming was married for the second time, and her mother's family had long been estranged, but she didn't think that Princess Ming was from the rivers and lakes, and her support for Li Congxin has always been there.

Zheng Qing also said that Daoyi Zhenren is one of the few Jianghu people who can contact the imperial power, and his status is transcendent, and the gangs also have great respect for King Ming and the prince of Ming, and many Jianghu people want to enter the official road, and they will vote under them.

After that, he glanced at Liu Pei, who was guarding not far away, and whispered to Gu Huanyi: "This uncle uses Shaolin Kung Fu, and he should be taught from Shaolin Mountain, and he is a layman master in Shaolin." ”

Gu Huanyi felt very interesting when he heard it, and only then did he understand where the henchmen and masters around Li Congxin came from.

Zheng Qing also picked out some traces left by Li Congxin in the rivers and lakes and told her, such as Li Congxin's study tour of the Eight Major Schools and so on.

Gu Huanyi had never heard of these things, and before he knew it, he chatted until late.

Liu Pei was not far away, looked at them several times, and couldn't help frowning when he saw that they had been talking and laughing.

Waiting for the night to be late, Liu Pei finally couldn't help but come over and remind: "Miss, rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”

Gu Huanyi nodded, said goodbye to Zheng Qing and Zhu Yong, and went back to the tent to rest.

Gu Huanyi thought about what Zheng Qing said, she had never heard anyone say that temples and rivers and lakes had such a connection before.

Li Congxin became a young man in the rivers and lakes in Zheng Qing's mouth, which made Gu Huanyi feel very sorry that he didn't have the opportunity to see Li Congxin's side in the rivers and lakes.

She asked Liu Pei curiously: "When did you join the Prince?" Can you go through the rivers and lakes with the prince? ”

Liu Pei shook his head and said: "Shizi was quite famous in the rivers and lakes when he was a teenager, and he was the leader of the younger generation of the eight major factions, but few people knew his true identity. About three years ago, the news that he was the prince of the Ming Dynasty suddenly spread in the rivers and lakes, and recruited many people, and I only took refuge in the prince at that time. ”

When Gu Huanyi heard this, he probably understood that three years ago was when Li Congxin Zhuang Zhou woke up from his dream, and he only began to recruit talents at that time.
