Chapter 42: Iron Horse Kingo
In the blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival passed, and Zhu Di recruited the main generals to discuss the future battle situation, but after the withdrawal, Dao Yan came.
Zhu Di was both happy and surprised, invited him to sit down, offered tea and asked, "Why does the master have time to come to my palace?" This is supposed to be the busiest time in the temple, right? ”
"It's busy, but the old monk is here to remind you that the fourth master also has something to be busy." Daoyan said.
Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but joke: "Huh? Is there a dojo I want to do? ”
"Yes, what day is February 19?" Dao Yan looked very serious.
"Then who doesn't know, Guanyin's birthday, is it ......" Zhu Di looked at him, "The master wants me to worship Guanyin?" ”
"That's right, but what the old monk asked the fourth master to worship was not the mud tire, but a living Guanyin."
"Living Guanyin? Who is Living Guanyin? Zhu Di's curiosity increased and he immediately asked.
Dao Yan laughed and said, "Fourth Master, you also know a lot about things in the rivers and lakes, but why don't you know the 'Living Guanyin' in the martial arts world?" ”
"The 'Living Guanyin' that the master said, could it be that he is a person in the martial arts?" Zhu Di asked with very, very interest.
"Exactly," Dao Yan nodded, "It's the head of the palace Xia Qing of Biluo Palace in Yizhou, Liaoyang." ”
Xiaqing –
Zhu Di seemed to have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he asked: "What's so important about this Biluo Palace?" ”
"Then the fourth master said, why is the saint so concerned about Wudang Mountain today?" Dao Yan asked rhetorically.
Zhu Di said with a smile: "My father once said that I can win the country thanks to the protection of Emperor Wudang Zhenwu, of course, we have to pay attention." ”
"That's it," Dao Yan nodded, "Does the fourth master know that the True Martial Emperor and the ancestor of the Wudang faction, Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhang Zhenren are from this Liaoyang Yizhou?" And the place where he first cultivated was in Biluo Palace. ”
Zhu Di suddenly realized when he heard this: "So that's the case, master, I understand, this Biluo Palace still enjoys a good reputation in the martial arts world, and I am going to visit it, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”
Dao Yan smiled and didn't make a sound.
Soon, Zhu Di asked as if he remembered something: "But how can this Xiaqing Daoist be called 'Living Guanyin'?" ”
"Hey, that's because Biluo Palace not only has a great reputation, but also takes care of the people around him on weekdays, and it is even more coincidental that his birthday happens to be February 19, and it is ......"
Speaking of this, Dao Yan showed a mysterious expression, "Moreover, the last reason is that when you meet him, you will know why he has this title." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhu Di really couldn't wait to meet him: "So, I really want to see this 'Living Guanyin' as soon as possible." ”
"Then why don't you hurry up and send someone to send the worship post over first," Dao Yan couldn't help laughing, "After all, you are His Royal Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and if you go so recklessly, you will scare people." ”
"Oh, yes, I'll go get ready." Zhu Di nodded again and again......
In the blink of an eye, after February 2, Zhu Di was ready to set off for Liaoyang, and planned to inspect the deployment of the Ming army in Liaodong by the way. Yu Liang and Zhou Duo wanted to accompany him, but Zhu Di didn't agree with anything, and finally only took Zheng He on the road.
After a day's non-stop journey, of course, they could not go any longer at night, so the master and servant found a shop. After staying overnight, Zheng He served Zhu Di to sleep, but he sat in front of the door and refused to sleep.
Zhu Di saw it and said, "Sanbao, you can sleep too." ”
Zheng He turned his head and said: "I'm not sleepy......
"After a day's journey, how can you not be sleepy," Zhu Di said with a smile, "Besides, if you have enough energy at night, you can only travel well during the day, right?" As for the rest, you can rest assured that you will be fine. ”
Zheng He listened and struggled for a while, and then reluctantly lay down in his clothes, apparently going to sleep.
The next day, when Zhu Di woke up, he saw that Zheng He had already gotten up and was preparing breakfast and facial water.
"Sanbao, did you sleep well last night?" Zhu Di deliberately looked at him and asked.
Zheng He nodded, but soon smiled again-
If he says that he sleeps well, I'm afraid he won't even be able to convince himself.
Zhu Di also smiled: "You kid is always such a dead eye, you are really tired, who will serve the fourth master and me." ”
"I ......" Zheng He bit his lip lightly, "Sanbao won't get tired, Sanbao will always serve you." ”
After breakfast, the two began to change their clothes.
Zhu Di wore a thin leather robe with plain silver fox fur, a thin fur hat on his head, and a dragon belt around his waist, dressed neatly and chicly, that is, like a Han and a Mongolian. Zheng He also changed into the corresponding clothes, and the two settled the bill and left the inn.
The master and the slave had already passed the Daning Mansion at this time, and when they entered the boundary of Liaodong, they didn't need to be in a hurry, and they calculated that the day was still in time, so they rode their horses and whips to the garrison of the Ming Army's Liaoyang Defense Division.
At noon, the banner of the Ming army had appeared in the field of vision, and Zhu Di felt very comfortable when he saw it, so he took Zheng He to go around.
The orderly stationing everywhere made people even more happy, but at this moment, Zheng He's horse stumbled and was almost thrown off. Before he could stabilize his mount, Zhu Di beside him had already fallen off the horse, so frightened that Zheng He hurriedly jumped off the horse to support him. Fortunately, nothing happened, and as soon as he breathed a sigh, many Ming soldiers appeared around, and more than a dozen spears were aimed at the master and servant.
"What do you two do?" The leader of the soldiers walked over and looked the two of them up and down.
Zheng He looked up at Zhu Di, Zhu Di dusted off his robe and smiled slightly: "Passing." ”
"Passing? Why are the passers-by going around our camp endlessly, do you think our soldiers are all eating for nothing! ”
The leader began to sneer.
But this will definitely not scare these two, Zhu Di of course will not be afraid, and asked with a smile: "Then what do you think we do?" ”
"It must be a spy sent by the Northern Yuan! Say, who sent you? Naha out or out of the Flame Gate? ”
"That's right, we're spies," Zhu Di still smiled, "but not from the Northern Yuan." ”
"Where did that come from?"
"It was sent by the Ming Dynasty's current saint Hongwu." Zhu Di said with a smile.
The leader was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became angry again: "Look at your appearance, but your mouth is very tricky!" Okay, I'm not afraid that you won't say it, wait until you enter the camp, and see if you say it. Come on, tie them up! ”
Seeing that the Ming sergeant really rushed up to arrest Zhu Di, Zheng He was really anxious, stepped forward and stopped in front of him and said, "Bold, which of you dares to come nonsense!" ”
Although he was still only a child, this voice was full of majesty, and the soldiers were stunned and their movements instinctively slowed down.
Zhu Di gently patted Zheng He's shoulder and said, "It's okay, you step back first." Then he glanced at the people in front of him, "Don't be so rude, let's go into the camp, and we'll go with you." ”
