After walking out of Kublai Khan's tent, Xiao Yao was stunned, but saw that it was dusk at this time, the sunset on the horizon was slanting westward, and the red glow was shining in the evening, which was indescribably brilliant and beautiful. He stood there and was stunned for a moment.

In the following half a month, Kublai Khan led his army to capture many important military towns in Jingbei Road, Huainan West Road and Jiangnan East Road, and defeated tens of thousands of elite Song troops. Because a few years ago, shortly after Xiao Yao accompanied Kublai Khan to the steppe to meet Meng Ke Khan, Meng Ge was wounded by the Song army's arrows during the expedition to Hezhou, and finally died in the Mongol army, while Kublai Khan, who was fighting with the Song army in Ezhou, immediately returned to the northern steppe and competed with Ali Buge and others for the throne. Although Xiao Yao did not participate in it at that time, after he returned from Shaolin, he also knew that Kublai Khan had successfully won the throne. Now, seeing that the general trend of the Song Dynasty has gone, Kublai Khan can no longer hold back, and after some precise preparations, he finally established a country in the Central Plains, with the name of Yuan. Xiao Yao successfully replaced the Golden Wheel Dharma King, was awarded the title of Great Yuan National Teacher, and was a very popular minister for a time, and his status can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.

At that time, the rule of the Song Dynasty had entered a state of paralysis, the people of the government and the opposition were panicked, and the people everywhere were also living in dire straits, only the iron cavalry of the Yuan army was more and more fierce in the war, and the Central Plains were full of wolf smoke for thousands of miles, and countless beacons and cities seemed to be burning the last luck of the Song Dynasty. Kublai Khan, on the other hand, regarded the suffering of the Song people as nothing, and not only wantonly plundered and burned along the way, but also forcibly recruited strong men, and the places he passed were like hell on earth.

For these things, Xiao Yao saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, so he repeatedly dissuaded and tried his best to stop Kublai Khan's evil deeds with the strength of one person. Although this behavior brought peace to the refugees for a while, it finally aroused Kublai Khan's disgust and disgust.

A month later, when the Yuan army conquered the military towns of Anqing and Chizhou, the front of the army was directed at Jiankang, and the whole Mongolian army was celebrating the victory, Kublai Khan suddenly announced that Xiao Yao would be transferred from the front line, retain the post of national teacher and assign him to another use, and take back the military power, and the position of commander was replaced by Ashu, and other important positions were gradually replaced by Mongols. Although on the surface, this is just an ordinary transfer, in fact, Xiao Yao himself knows very well in his heart that this is the beginning of Kublai Khan's finally thinking that he is in the way and will send himself into the cold palace. Without military power in hand, from now on, in front of Kublai Khan, he will no longer have the capital to bargain with him, and he will forever lose the ability to benefit the refugees in the world.

It's over.

A month after Xiao Yao was demoted, Changzhou fell, and the Yuan army carried out a massacre in the city. Hearing this, Xiao Yao disregarded his own safety and forced himself to break into the tent of the Chinese army, trying to dissuade Kublai Khan from doing this brutal thing, but was caught by Kublai Khan's guards and punished him with a hundred rods on the spot. When the generals under Kublai Khan saw that Xiao Yao had lost power, they originally suggested that this person was originally from the Han Chinese, and now he was secretly collaborating with the enemy, and the crime should be beheaded.

After this incident, Xiao Yao was finally disheartened and realized that Kublai Khan now, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer change. After much thought, he finally made up his mind and resigned from Kublai Khan as the national teacher. Kublai Khan originally disagreed, but when he saw that Xiao Yao was obviously dead, he stopped stopping and let it go. At this point, Xiao Yao finally left Kublai Khan, but at the same time, he also ran counter to the dream he had always insisted on until now, and gradually drifted away.

In fact, when he made up his mind to speak to Kublai Khan, he had already thought of all kinds of consequences, and also thought that in the end, he might not have any good results, but he still insisted on doing it, just because he had already put life and death out of the way, so there was nothing to fear in the world. If you fall on the road of struggling for your ideals, it will be a splendid scenery.

Leaving the Mongolian camp, Xiao Yao had no distractions and went straight to Wudang Mountain. Because he had been prepared for this result, he had already made arrangements, although he gradually lost power in the court, but his prestige in the Central Plains martial arts was getting higher and higher, and in the middle, Kongtong, Kunlun, Shaolin, Emei and Huashan faction were naturally indispensable. Although Xiao Yao did not borrow the power of the Zhaoxian Pavilion from Kublai Khan, he found another way and taught all the peerless martial arts collected from various places, such as the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill in his hand, to Gongsun Lucao, Yang Guo, Zhu Ziliu and Wan Yanping and others, and then asked them to carefully select the successors and teach them to the disciples in the sect. In this way, the strength of the disciples of these factions is significantly higher than that of ordinary martial arts gangs, coupled with Xiao Yao's secret strategy and advice, the forces of several factions have developed rapidly, and now when Xiao Yao walks on Wudang Mountain, the forces of the five major factions are all over the rivers and lakes, and they rarely meet opponents.

And when he walked on Wudang Mountain, Xiao Yao's mood was very different from before. In fact, he had already secretly made up his mind in his heart, and on the day he successfully retired, he would take all the confidantes he met in this other world to live in seclusion in Wudang, no longer ask about the world, live happily all day long, and taste the taste of fairy companions, but now, although the reality is not consistent with what he imagined, such as Hong Lingbo and Li Mochou lost the rivers and lakes, no matter how Xiao Yao investigated, they could not find the slightest trace of the two, but they could not be like the original book, both died in the Valley of Despair, so Xiao Yao can only guess, perhaps because of the previous chaos in the rivers and lakes, the two finally found it difficult to protect themselves。 Thinking of this, thinking of the bits and pieces when the three of them got along on the platform in the mountains, Xiao Yao sighed, but he could only feel sad.

As for Xiaolongnu, she now lives in Daxing City, Xiao Yao can take her to Wudang Mountain and accompany her in this life and this life. And remembering the excitement and joy when he first saw Xiaolongnu in the ancient tomb, he mistakenly recognized her as a confidante before the crossing, Xiao Yao smiled, and the last knot in his heart was instantly unraveled. After all, years have passed, no matter whether she is Xiaolongnu or Shi Ruoxi now, but as long as she is a person, for Xiao Yao, it is enough.

......

Three years later, Wu Tianzhu Peak.

"Master, you should teach me the Jiuyang Sutra today, right?" Although the person who spoke was wearing a gray robe and a small figure, he was full of energy when he spoke, and his voice was like a bell, which made people feel a chill in his heart.

"Don't worry, Junbao, for the sake of the teacher, I would like to ask you, how are you practicing the Nine Yin True Scripture?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile on his back.

"Master, the disciple has already practiced, don't believe you!" As he spoke, the young man known as Junbao practiced in the open space at the top of this peak, and his moves were quite powerful.

Xiao Yao stood sideways, smiling. Suddenly, a beautiful woman walked slowly from a distance, holding a black porcelain teatray in her hand, on which were placed two white porcelain teacups and a cui mud teapot. When she got closer, she looked at Xiao Yao and said gently: "This is the chrysanthemum I picked from the mountain early in the morning, soaked in dew, let Junbao rest for a while, come and drink some water." ”

Xiao Yao took the tea tray and put it aside, gently stroked the slightly bulging lower abdomen of the beautiful woman with his hand, and said lovingly: "Long'er, didn't you let you have a good rest, why did you still come out and walk around." It's windy here, you go and rest first, I'll go back after practicing with Junbao. ”

Before the little dragon girl could speak, Junbao had already preemptively said: "Senior Lady, is it that my little junior brother is restless again, and is in a hurry to come out and want to learn martial arts from my senior brother?"

When Xiao Yao heard this, his left palm shook violently, and a crystal clear line of water flew out along the spout of the teapot, refracting a dazzling brilliance in the sun. Xiao Yao's eyes were quick, and he didn't wait for the waterline to land, his right hand hooked and swirled, and the water droplets that had been scattered in the air were suddenly pinched into a water ball. Xiao Yao didn't hesitate, and flicked the middle finger of his right hand forward, and the water balloon suddenly flew towards Junbao, impartially, and flew right into his mouth.

"Hmm...... Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. Junbao was poured a glass of water into his mouth, and he had to swallow it hurriedly. Although he has the intention to avoid every time, no matter what, the result is the same, which makes him very unwilling, but helpless.

"Haven't you already practiced the Nine Yin True Sutra? Why can't you still avoid it? Practice for another month, and after a month, you will come to the school again as a teacher. ”

When Junbao heard this, he could only reply in frustration, "Yes, Master!"

When he raised his head again, he saw that the figures of Xiao Yao and Xiaolongnu had gradually disappeared into the clouds and mist in the middle of the mountain.
