Chapter 2 The Old Man is Buried in the Forest

The group departed in a big way. The doorman stopped and looked outside for a while, but saw that no one was coming. He went back to the door of his room and leaned against the wall. This is his exclusive seat. Because you can see people coming up from the bottom of the mountain here. You can also hear the words of the master.

"Tong'er, go down the mountain and distribute the silver! no one will come today!" came the master's faint voice from the room!

"Whoa!"

The doorman, who was called Tong'er, bowed his hand respectfully, holding the silver and preparing to go down the mountain. The great man picked up a large package of silver, which he had difficulty carrying, but it was extremely light in his hand. It doesn't seem to have any weight!

Entering the room, it was dark, but a man could be seen sitting quietly. On the table is an unfinished landscape drawing. He wanted to put pen to paper, but he didn't know how to start.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, he silently put down the pen in his hand and sighed:

"Alas...... I don't know what to do with him?"

That's right, think about back then, King Chen of Da Chu. Dressed in a cloth coat and shawl, he led three thousand iron horsemen alone. Only then did he call the country "Chu"!

Wherever King Chen Chu passed, no one dared to confront him. Such a great feat, but up to now, he still has not escaped the fate of the country!

He would never have imagined that three hundred years later, the state of Chu would stand side by side. There are no generals in the country! The Son of Heaven is not virtuous, and the crown prince Kang Yi is incompetent! The traitorous ministers are chaotic, and the Jia's family in the harem is constantly fighting. The only one who cares about the safety of the country is actually just a princess. At least, on the bright side!

"King Chen, King Chen, what would you do with you if you were alive?" the man muttered to himself. Then he looked at the unfinished painting on the table.

"King Yuwen asked for orders to enter Dong'an with 30,000 soldiers and horses, but King Kang Jing stopped him! It is really strange that the two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. But the private relationship is very good. This time. I'm afraid I'm going to prepare for a rebellion!"

"But Dong'an is a small city, and there are still two cities away from the imperial capital!" What role can it play?" Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Yes...... Since it's useless, it can only be a place to hide weapons and refine weapons!"

"So, their purpose is Cheng Ping!"

Cheng Ping was only 300 miles away from the imperial capital. It only takes three days to get here. Launched a mutiny to the kings of various counties to learn the news. They have already reached the imperial city! As soon as the two of them sing and harmonize, they may deceive the emperor. But......

The man smiled, these princes are not fools. Naturally, they would not be allowed to enter Cheng Ping so easily.

In fact, the current situation in Dachu is very delicate, although the princes of the county are not used to seeing Emperor Kangzhi. But I don't want others to sit in this position! So the current situation is that the gun shoots the first bird, and if one side rebels, it will be attacked by the masses.

But the man was not concerned about this, but about Dong'an! Since this place was the place where King Yuwen and King Kangjing were stationed. Then there must be a lot of weapons. In case you go out of the mountain in the future, you can find a chance to take it from him!

After thinking about it, he stopped again. Silently looking outside. "When Taishi Yi enters Beijing this time, more people will definitely die. Well, when he dies, I'll go out of the mountain! When the time comes, it's not too late to go!"

The man stayed in the room until the evening.

And it is exactly as he said. After Master Yi left, no one came. It's late afternoon. The boy came back and happily entered the yard with a large bag of things.

"Master, Master, they gave us a lot of things!" the boy shouted happily. The man said lightly: "Okay, I know." Let's take it to the kitchen and do it!"

"Okay,"

He nodded, and quickly took his things to the kitchen. I have been going for so long, and the master thinks that he is hungry. Let's hurry up and make something to eat.

Suddenly, he felt movement behind him, and when he turned around, he saw his master standing behind him looking at him with a smile.

"Master, why did you come out?"

The man was dressed in fine clothes and was in his early twenties and thirties. Feet on the sleeve of the blue cloud boots. Adorned with purple gold jade. A flute pinned to his waist. Hands attached behind his back. Long hair falls down to the waist. Looking at it, a look of leisure and refinement is dazzling.

"If you want to come out, go for a walk!" the man smiled. Then he asked, "What are you eating today?" Isn't it the dry sauce noodles again?"

"No, no!" Tong Er hurriedly waved his hand. He suddenly remembered what happened last time, which was actually just an accident, and he accidentally put the chili sauce in it as bean paste. Outcome...... Shizun vowed never to eat dry sauce noodles again.

"Shizun doesn't like spicy food, so I told them not to send chili peppers!" Tong'er said happily: "Shizun, let me tell you, there is fish tonight!"

"Oh?" the man was slightly surprised. Suddenly smiled: "Now this world can actually get fish." I think the villagers at the bottom of the mountain are quite rich!"

"That's!" Tong Er said proudly while cooking: "Master, don't you know, every time I go down, they call me a living bodhisattva!"

"Hehe, Bodhisattva or wicked! You are you!"

"Hehe," the boy scratched his head, then waved his hand, "No, no!

The man nodded, stood behind and looked at it for a while, feeling bored, and then walked out of the kitchen.

He sat silently in the courtyard. Look at the dilapidated palace. The cracks in the walls are full of hideous scars. Only then did I understand that the original Taiqing Palace no longer exists!

Now the world only knows that there is a master living in Taiqing Palace, but they have forgotten the masters of Taiqing Palace at the beginning!

At that time, Emperor Kant was still in power, and the world was already in turmoil. Dependent states everywhere raised troops to attack. He was in the Taiqing Palace, only eight years old. I saw that the master of the sect himself took all the disciples on the mountain down the mountain to fight the enemy. Since then, he has never returned......

It has been so many years in a flash, and the Taiqing Palace has long since changed! The war at that time has also been calmed down. But it was doused with the blood of our ancestors!

Look at it now, the state of Chu has become like this again!

The man slowly looked up at the endless night sky. The sparkling light. I don't know what will become of the Chu State in the future......

How can I save it? He understood, although he said to the outside world that it was because the time had not yet come. But it's just fear!

He was afraid that he would not be able to save the world, and he was afraid that he would save himself and embark on the road of destruction. The emperor who is afraid of assisting is incompetent, but there is never a suitable candidate!

Is it really necessary to choose that princess?

Just as the man was sitting in the courtyard meditating, Tong'er ran out and said, "Master, it's time to eat!"

He came over with a large bowl of fish and a few greens. I went to the kitchen and got some rice. The man was handed a pair of chopsticks.

The man looked at the dishes inside in a daze, but he didn't move his chopsticks, but asked, "Tong'er, what do you say...... What do people in the world want?"

"Uh......" Tong'er was suddenly stunned, what's wrong with Shizun today? Why is it a little weird?

"What people in the world want should be to live and work in peace and contentment!" he replied after thinking about it.

"Live and work in peace......," the man looked into the distance for a moment. Only then did he gradually turn around and say, "I want to come...... Right?"

"If I told you to go down the mountain, where would you go?" he asked suddenly. Tong'er shook his head: "I'm not going anywhere." Follow next to Master!"

"Well, that's it...... Eat first!"
