Chapter 180: On the Altar
I didn't expect that the fat Taoist seemed to be worldly, but the place where he lived was so quiet and comfortable. >> Top > Dots" novel www.23wx. [com]
Follow the Taoist boy from the back of the moon gate into the courtyard, around the lotus pond, from a long corridor through, into a half-open half-open waterfront Xuan, three dragons flying phoenix dance big characters "Water Moon Xuan".
The fat Taoist was already sitting in Shuiyuexuan waiting, seeing the two coming, he hurriedly welcomed the two in, and after the two of them were seated, he waved his hand to let the Taoist boy retreat.
Liu Feixu took a sip of tea slowly, set up the shelf of Miss Qianjin, looked at the surrounding lake and water shadows, and said in a coquettish voice: "Zhang Zhenren, your residence is really elegant, I don't think it's worse than the imperial garden in Chang'an City." ”
The fat Taoist was full of joy, and said busily: "We are shabby, where do you dare to compare with the Imperial Garden, Miss Liu is well-informed, which can make the two of you laugh." ”
Ye Boyu also said: "Zhang Zhenren, this dragon well before the Qingming Dynasty is paired with a tea bowl with rain and azure sky, and then with this elegant garden, it is really boundless charm, Zhang Zhenren is really elegant." ”
"Where, where. The two laughed. The fat Taoist slowly picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "This brother is so good, he doesn't know the name of the honorable man, where is the teacher?"
Ye Boyu knew that the fat Taoist would have this question, and immediately replied: "In Xia Ye Boyu, he grew up in the Changshi Mansion since he was a child, and he learned Taoism with a stranger for a while when he was a child. ”
"Oh, an alien?" asked the fat man, "I don't know what alien it is?"
Ye Boyu shook his head and said: "Zhang Zhenren doesn't know anything, this alien dragon can't see the head and the end, and the juniors have only followed him for a while, and they don't know his name at all, and they haven't even seen his face. ”
"Such a strange person, this is a master. The fat Taoist knew that Ye Boyu was deliberately perfunctory, but he still praised it repeatedly.
Liu Feixu said in a coquettish voice: "I don't know if Zhang Zhenren called me and the other two to come, what are my orders?"
"I can't talk about orders. The fat real man was full of joy and said: "Lao Dao invited the two of you to come here, but there is something important to discuss." ”
"Do you want to discuss something? Please also ask Zhang Zhenren to show it. Ye Boyu felt strange in his heart and said hurriedly.
The fat Taoist nodded, put away his smile, and said in a low voice: "Two fast people talk quickly, so good." The old road will not make any detours.
Since the two of them are in the Chang'an Governor's Mansion, they must have an extraordinary friendship with the prime minister of the current dynasty and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses?"
The fat Taoist asked so bluntly, Ye Boyu still had a hard time, he didn't know what the relationship between the Quanzhen Sect and Toktokh was, whether it was good or bad. It's hard to answer now.
Ye Boyu groaned slightly, and Liu Feixu immediately said: "My father, as the long history of Chang'an, not only has a little friendship with the marshal of Toto, but also with these adults in the official mansion, and there is a way, there are people in the court who are good officials." Don't you know Zhang Zhenren?"
Liu Feixu's words can be described as ambiguous and cunning, of course, the fat Taoist was extremely dissatisfied when he heard it, he laughed twice, and said perfunctorily: "Of course, of course." His eyes were still looking at Ye Boyu, hoping that Ye Boyu would give him a satisfactory answer.
Ye Boyu's heart moved, and suddenly remembered the three lamas in Jiuhua Mountain, remembered that the two Yuan soldiers sent by the commander were killed here, and remembered the last few words of Yuan Huizong in Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, and suddenly made up his mind, and said with a smile: "Since Zhang Zhenren asked, the younger generation will not hide it, in fact, our Lord Liu has always been dissatisfied with the monopoly of the commander of the detachment, and the order of the detachment is basically yang and yin, now Zhang Zhenren understands." ”
In fact, in the imperial court at that time, the civil and military officials were divided into two major gangs, one was the pro-emperor faction headed by the commander of Totok, and the other was the lama faction headed by the two national teachers. Since Ye Boyu said that Lord Liu is not compatible with the master of Totoku, it must be from the faction of the national teacher.
The fat Taoist smiled unchanged, and said: "Those two came to Zhongnan Mountain this time, I don't know if it is ......."
Ye Boyu put down the tea bowl, looked at the pool in front of him, and said loudly: "Zhang Zhenren, the two of us are ordered by Changshi to supervise the two Yuan soldiers who sent military orders to Toto. In recent years, Lord Liu has found that Totoku often secretly travels around Chang'an, but he doesn't know who is dealing with Toto, so he sent his subordinates to closely monitor Toto, but he didn't expect that this person was Zhang Zhenren. With that, Ye Boyu turned around and stared at the fat Taoist quietly to see what he said.
"Well, as expected. The fat Taoist haha and slowly stood up. As soon as he stood up, Ye Boyu found that this fat Taoist man actually seemed to be shorter than he imagined, fat and short, similar to a barrel.
"What did Zhang Zhenren say?" Ye Boyu asked puzzled.
The fat Taoist looked at Ye Boyu proudly, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Ye, as soon as you and Miss Liu came, Lao Dao suspected that you were not here to visit the mountains and rivers, but must have come to investigate something." Today, I saw that Brother Ye was busy tracking down the murderers of the two Yuan soldiers, and Lao Dao was sure that the two of them came to investigate these two Yuan soldiers, but he was not sure about the detailed intentions of the two.
What Brother Ye said just now made it clear that since Lord Liu is the enemy of Totok, then we are a family. Ha ha. ”
"Oh, in that case, why did the two Yuan soldiers sent by the commander come to find Zhang Zhenren? How could they be killed inexplicably?" Looking at the fat Taoist's innocent smile, Ye Boyu couldn't believe a word of the fat man's words.
Liu Feixu was also very concerned about the matter of the two Yuan soldiers, turned around, and listened carefully.
The fat Taoist didn't say in a hurry, waved his hand, and let the two young maids who were standing far away outside the Xuan come in and pour tea, and when the two maids poured the tea and left Shuiyue Xuan, he took a sip of tea slowly, and said with a smile: "Lao Dao knows that the two of them have a lot of doubts about Lao Dao in their hearts, and Lao Dao, I will invite the two of you to come and explain the ins and outs of this matter clearly."
Ever since Lao Dao was in charge of the Quanzhen Sect, he had been sheltered by the national teacher of Bilba and was ordered to monitor whether Tokhtar had any secret forces outside Chang'an City. A few years ago, Tokhtar suddenly sent someone to him, saying that he wanted to establish a stronghold near Chang'an City, to fight against the national teacher of Biba, and to recruit me to join their faction.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lao Dao naturally will not miss it. Without hesitation, I agreed to Tokhtar's request, clearly establishing a stronghold for him, but in fact I was spying on him and relaying his every word and deed to the national teacher.
Yesterday, the commander suddenly sent those two soldiers to come again, and then you two came to visit again, and the old man knew that this messenger must be unusual. After getting the order to get off, Lao Dao sent someone to kill the two Yuan soldiers, but at that time, he didn't know whether the two of you were friends or enemies, so he couldn't let the two of them know. ”
Ye Boyu and Liu Feiyu listened to the fat Taoist's words without saying a word, the two glanced at each other, and Ye Boyu asked first: "I see." Don't hide it from Zhang Zhenren, the two of us were ordered by Lord Liu to investigate this military order of Toto, I don't know what the military order of Tofu is, and I hope Zhang Zhenren will tell me. ”
The fat Taoist's chubby face was full of laughter, shook his fat hands, and said, "Of course, of course, the old Taoist knows everything." The two soldiers brought an 800-mile urgent document from the marshal Toto, and he said that he had discovered a secret stronghold of the national division of the country near Chang'an City, and wanted Lao Dao to check it out.
Also, whether or not this stronghold is found, he may come to Chang'an next month to discuss the major matters of contacting Tubo, Qiangtang and other places to deal with the rebels. ”
Sure enough, it has something to do with the Righteous Army, but I didn't expect Totoku to contact Tubo and Qiangtang to deal with the Righteous Army, who knows if Tokhtar will contact other places, thinking of this, Ye Boyu couldn't help but worry about Chang Yuchun and others.
When the fat Taoist said this, he saw that Ye Boyu's faces were uncertain, and he was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Feixu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I just didn't expect Zhang Zhenren's identity to be so secret, so I hesitated." ”
Ye Boyu asked, "So, those two Yuan soldiers were killed by Zhang Zhenren?"
"Exactly. The fat Taoist smiled: "The two of them have completed their mission, and if they let them live, they may reveal the secrets of the Quanzhen Sect, so they must die." ”
"So, the killer who escaped into the cave is Zhang Zhenren's subordinate?" Ye Boyu asked step by step.
"I can't quite say that. They are the subordinates of the Gallba Nationmaster, who has raised a large group of black-clad killers who are lurking in his various strongholds, both to help us and of course to spy on us. The fat Taoist shook his head and said.
"That's good. I don't know if the two of us can go to Zhang Zhenren's cave to have a look? Ye Boyu knew that the fat Taoist seemed to be in his heart now, and he knew everything, in fact, there must be something unspeakable, or something important to ask for, so he took this opportunity to ask more clearly.
"Well. A trace of hesitation flashed on the fat man's face, and he couldn't help but groan.
Liu Feifu gently put down the tea bowl, stretched out her slender little hand, the sleeves on her arms hung down gently, revealing a snow-white wrist, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawned softly, and then looked outside, there were several huge weeping willows next to the cobblestone path, and the long willow tops of the weeping willows blew into the pool, and the wind blew, causing layers of ripples.
"It seems that Zhang Zhenren is quite inconvenient, Ye Boyu, don't be embarrassed for Zhang Zhenren anymore, let's go out for a walk, I've been disturbing for so long, let Zhang Zhenren have a good rest. With that, Liu Feixu stood up and prepared to leave the small pavilion.
