Stationed in Dongming for two months, after the coldest winter, ushered in the thawing of the glacier and the blooming of spring.

Zhang Jun sent news from Tongdebao that the naval army had become an army, and as long as the ice period of the big river passed, it would be able to attack both land and water, and take Liangshanbo directly.

The mining of coal replenished the forbidden army with a large amount of military supplies. Merchants from all over the world gathered in the mining areas, and the displaced people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the old age was supported, and the children did not have to go hungry and cold, and they were educated.

The currency in the mining area began to be gold, silver and copper coins, and later gold and silver and Kangwang treasure banknotes, and finally only Kangwang treasure banknotes were used.

The so-called Kangwang treasure banknote is the banknote printed by the only local printing workshop in Dongming entrusted by Zhao Gou, with the seal of King Kang.

Kangwang treasure banknotes circulated with the merchants, south to Yingtianfu, east to Juyeze, north to Puyang, west to Changyuan, for a time seemed to become a radius of hundreds of miles of hard currency.

Zhao Gou made a lot of money, this is the biggest satisfaction he felt after crossing, and he can wake up with a smile every night when he sleeps.

On this day, a Taoist priest from the traveling side suddenly came to Dongming County, asking people for divination in the downtown area, and said: "The king of eight people in the waist is rampant!" December Likang, the king soup soup! The good days of the common people are not far off. ”

The news reached Zhao Gou's ears, and Zhao Gou said: "Send someone to arrest this Taoist priest who spreads evil rumors to this king!" ”

The forbidden army was ordered to go, and the regiment searched for a long time, but no trace was found. Ask the villagers, some said that they saw the old Taoist priest cross the river and go to the north.

Zhao Gouxin said that if this news leaked to the capital, not only Zhao Heng, but even Song Huizong would rise up to be unfavorable to Lao Tzu, and he must catch this person while no one has guessed the riddle, and his intuition told him that this person's origin is not simple.

The forbidden army came back to report that the old Taoist priest could not be found, and told Zhao Gou the news he had heard.

Suddenly, outside the big tent, it was said that someone asked to see him, and the person came in, and Zhao Gou saw that he was a white and fat monk, holding a water bowl for Huayuan in one hand and a Zen staff in the other, and said to Zhao Gou: "Your Highness, there is an old man who wants to meet with you and entrust the little monk to bring a letter." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the letter.

Zhao Gou looked at it, and his handwriting was beautiful, but he didn't sign it: "Zhao Gou, if you don't come to Puyang to see me, be careful that the master leaks the proverbs to the capital!" The monk is my man, come with him. No, no. ”

Zhao Gou scolded: "That stinky monk, what kind of thing is this!" Who did Lao Tzu go to meet? If you don't recruit from the truth, you will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth now. ”

The monk was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness King Kang, the little monk doesn't know the content of the letter, you blame me, I'm just a messenger." ”

"Fart! You recruited from the truth, who entrusted you to come to me? ”

The monk said: "Didn't you already tell Your Highness that it was an old man of yours?" If you don't know, the little monk doesn't know even more. ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly called Ge Ling: "Take down this monk for me and put him in prison!" ”

As soon as Ge Ling wanted to make a move, the monk didn't wait for him to pull out the knife, so he flicked the Zen staff and pushed it to Ge Ling's stomach: "Your Highness, if the little monk is an assassin, I'm afraid Your Highness will already be in a different place." ”

Although Ge Ling's speed of drawing his sword was not as fast as when he was about to fight, the monk's action of raising the Zen staff to Ge Ling's stomach was also very light, which was enough to prove that this monk's strength was very terrifying.

When I opened the system, the monk's force value reached the S level!

What's going on, how did you come out with an S-class?

Zhao Gou said: "Monk, you have a very loud tone, but you don't dare to say that person's name, if you don't say that person's name, this king will never go with you." ”

The monk said: "Your Highness actually said so, the little monk went back to restore his life, at most I am a humiliating mission, but I have a great deal to do with His Highness." After that, the monk was leaving.

Zhao Gou said: "Monk, you are slow. This king has a lot of affairs, and I will go with you when I am busy with this day. ”

The monk bowed and said, "Then I will stay for one day and wait for His Highness for one day." ”

Han Shizhong said: "Your Highness, this monk's identity is unknown, I don't think I can go with him." ”

"You go to the scout camp and ask if any army has appeared in Puyang recently. If there is no army in Puyang, I can take you and Ge Ling's already a thousand strong forbidden army with me. ”

The next day, the monk led the way and sat on a horse, with Ge Ling on the left, Han Shizhong on the right, Zhao Gou behind him, followed by a thousand forbidden troops, and marched towards Puyang.

After two days on the road, it was already night when I came to Puyang City. Zhao Gou and others were sleepy and tired, so they sent people to the local government of Puyang County to report.

Suddenly, a group of men and horses came from the southeast outside the city, shouting and killing. First, a person shouted: "Is it Zhao Gou?" ”

Han Shizhong said: "Your Highness, this person doesn't look like a native of the Central Plains!" I'm afraid it's going to be bad for Your Highness. ”

Zhao Gou said to the monk: "You bald donkey! Well done. ”

The monk smiled and said to Zhao Gou: "Your Highness, you all say that the guest is as you like the lord, our county lord doesn't like that there are others around His Highness, and today is considered offended." ”

Ge Ling took out his long and short knife, and was about to slash at the monk, but the monk flashed, and with a whistle in his mouth, Ge Ling's horse stood up and almost knocked Ge Ling to the ground.

Ge Ling was too busy to take care of himself, and Han Shizhong was busy leading people to meet the gang of intruders, leaving only Zhao Gou stunned there.

The monk suddenly came out from under the horse's belly, grabbed Zhao Gou, put him horizontally on the horse's back, circled Puyang City, and threw himself on the east road.

The monk shouted, "Han Shizhong, pray for your master in Puyang City." ”

Han Shizhong saw that Ge Ling was overturned by the horse and fell to the ground, and Zhao Gou was gone, and saw that the monk took Zhao Gou away, he was anxious, and chased after the horse, Ge Ling took a horse from the forbidden army and chased after him.

After chasing, the monk suddenly disappeared, and there was a three-way intersection in front of him, and I don't know which way he took.

Han Shizhong got off the horse, put his ear on the ground, chose a road, and chased for a long time, but still didn't see a single figure.

The two looked at each other.

Ge Ling said bitterly: "That's a demon monk, he actually understands horse language, my horse was suddenly frightened, it must have been affected by his whistling." ”

Han Shizhong looked at the forbidden army around him, fortunately he had not lost anyone, so he said: "We have been calculated by them, now is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves, it is the right thing to find the whereabouts of His Highness immediately." Ge Ling, you lead five hundred forbidden troops to follow the trails of those people, and I will take the rest of the people to follow the trails of the monks, and two days later, they will be collected under Puyang City. ”

Like a defeated rooster, everyone went their own way, and they were afraid that if they didn't find it, they would never find it again.
