When Zhu Xie returned to the post house, he startled Li Yunshui a lot, only to see that the monk's footsteps were vain, a short white hair appeared, his face was full of stubble, he looked tired, and staggered back to the room, just perfunctory Li Yunshui A few words, then closed the door, as if it was a big disaster.

Li Yunshui was naturally very worried, but fortunately, it seemed that the senior brother had no scars on his body, and he was a little relieved. So, he instructed the post house to always pay attention to the bamboo door, and serve as soon as necessary.

In the past few days, Li Yunshui has been really busy, Luo Weiping, Jiang Caiyu, Xu Ruoyun, plus He Xian and others from Jiangnan Post House, have come to visit Li Yunshui almost every day, and the attitude is really hot, although Li Yunshui treats him politely, but every day is like this, which is really troublesome.

So, when he saw Jiang Caiyu's shadow from a distance through the hall, he knew that this troublesome entertainment was coming again. Immediately he quickly jumped up to the second floor, and then jumped again and walked through the back window.

Jiang Caiyu asked He Xian, and after learning that Li Yunshui was in the room, he quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door, but saw that no one responded, so he had to step up and prepare to leave.

Suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked to the door next to Li Yunshui's room, knocked on the door, and then after a while, Zhu Xie dragged his tired body to open the door.

Originally, Zhu Xie was a person who behaved well, but because the master had confessed, the pair of tigers were from Jiangnan Weaving Mansion, and because Jiang Caiyu's attitude towards himself was really different, he preconceived Jiang Caiyu as his biological father.

And after walking through the brook bath ditch, he knew that he had misunderstood the supervisor.

So, after he saw Jiang Caiyu, he welcomed him into the house with a strong spirit, warmly invited him to sit down, poured tea himself, and then bowed: "My lord, when the little monk met with the adults a few days ago, because he was too focused on the bottleneck of Buddhism, his head did not turn for a while, it was too rude, offended the adults, and invited the adults Haihan!" ”

Although he didn't understand why Zhu Jie's attitude had changed so quickly, Jiang Caiyu was extremely satisfied with this result. It's just that when I saw the appearance of Zhu Jie, I sighed secretly in my heart, but I didn't show my voice.

As for this change in Zhujie, Jiang Caiyu didn't care, young people, they always change quickly.

So he smiled and waved his hand slightly: "You...... You're welcome, between you and me...... It doesn't have to be so formal. ”

"The adults are relieved, and the little monk is much better." Bamboo Jie's hands are folded, and a Buddha horn is sounded.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Caiyu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Zhu Jie, you are young, you have such a talent in the Zen scriptures, and if you have talent, no one can beat it, but you must not bury it!" ”

Zhu Xie couldn't understand why Jiang Caiyu called him by his name, and ...... The tone is clearly that it is very familiar with the elders to the juniors. However, because he was ashamed of what happened before, he didn't say anything, but replied in a proper manner: "My lord praised it falsely." ”

"Eh, don't be too modest."

"The last time you preached the scriptures, you were interrupted by those rebellious ministers and thieves, and the people of Jiangnan were still unsatisfied, and they all remembered that you were still in Jiangnan, looking forward to your opening of the altar to preach the scriptures again."

"I have already discussed with Lord Luo, set up a good platform for you, spread the news, let the whole Suyang know about this, and hold a world-famous Zen scripture conference."

"You have to take advantage of the opportunity, if you explain this Zen sutra well, I guess it will ......"

He looked cautiously to the left and right before whispering, "I guess the holy decree is coming." ”

Regardless of Zhu Jie's shocked face, Jiang Caiyu got up, smiled meaningfully at Zhu Jie, and opened the door and left alone.

Outside the city of Jiangnan, there is also a small pavilion, in the pavilion sits a woman with an average or even lower appearance, and a few moles on her face, but her temperament looks a little cold, her expensive clothes, as well as a few little girls who accompany her, and the pot of fragrant tea in front of her, all show that this is an indescribably expensive woman.

Last night, the noblewoman was surprised to learn two pieces of news that were enough to make her angry, and although it could not be believed from the point of view of conclusive evidence, at least one of them was very credible in the present situation.

And the other, if it is to be preliminarily confirmed, is the person who is waiting for it today. And this person, in addition to confirming those two pieces of news, is enough to deal a fatal blow to how to deal with the things that make her angry.

Although it is early autumn, the temperature is really low.

In the distance, on the official road where the sky meets, a carriage slowly appears, and the carriage walks very slowly, as if the carriage is loaded with a fragile porcelain, and it comes cautiously.

When the woman saw this, she was sure of seven points in her heart.

It wasn't until the carriage reached the pavilion that the curtain was lifted to reveal a beautiful woman, whose face showed that she had been on the road for a long time, and was already very haggard.

She saw the pavilion, and she saw the noble, but somewhat ugly, middle-aged woman.

So she pulled the curtain open, stepped out, and walked down the carriage with difficulty. The slight bulge of her belly indicates that she is pregnant. And this also made the woman's eyes look at her with a little more resentment and pride.

The pregnant woman seemed to know that there was someone to answer her, and she came over with some gratitude and even some anticipation.

And the woman, too, got the news, and was ready to answer it.

After a little chat, the two had reached some kind of consensus. Then the woman made a move, and a more ornate and tall sedan chair was pulled by several fat horses, and several girls immediately followed and helped the pregnant woman up.

On the other hand, under the arrangement of Jiang Caiyu, Zhu Xie opened a Zen scripture meeting in the south of the Yangtze River, which lasted for a month, and as soon as the news came out, it was popular in the major temples of Suyang for a while, and they sent monks with high morality and profound Zen skills to go, which is also a major event in this Buddha country.

It is said that this matter has attracted the attention of the court, not only the officials of all parties are itching, and they want to go to see the grand occasion, but they can only miss it because they are entangled in official business, and even the emperor has sent someone to come, record the whole process, and pass it on.

So Luo Weiping, under the influence of Jiang Caiyu, wrote to the emperor, asking for the canonization of the bamboo to promote him to become a Buddhist leader and worship the respect of the national teacher. And the emperor obviously has this meaning, and it is estimated that the holy decree will come down to Jiangnan in the near future.

For half a month, Zhu Xie was busy lecturing, but Li Yunshui had nothing to do, and he couldn't resist Xu Sanjiang's repeated requests, and he followed Xu Ruoyun to the Jiangnan Tiger Slaughter Camp on this day.

I had already heard that Xu Sanjiang was seriously ill and could no longer get out of bed.

This rumor made the court think about it, and the crown prince and the three princes sent people to visit. And when the spies walked out of the camp, their faces were not very good-looking. Obviously, Xu Ruoyun is too young and has no military merits on his body, so he can't support this hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, what is intriguing is that the emperor knew that Xu Sanjiang could not take on the heavy responsibility, but he did not reveal any idea of replacing people, and seemed to ignore the Jiangnan Tiger Slaughter Camp, an important military force that could affect the safety of Jiangnan.

In the early years, the emperor and Xu Sanjiang had a close relationship, and of course accumulated a certain amount of affection for monarchs and ministers. But it is obvious that feelings cannot be used to govern the country, and the emperor has always been thoughtful, and he will never be so emotional.

As a result, a storm seems to have been brewing for a long time.

Li Yunshui walked into the tent, and a veteran with a white beard sat alone in the middle seat, with a big knife beside him, and two soldiers with tigers on their backs. Come to think of it, this is the famous Xu Sanjiang.

And Xu Sanjiang in front of him, although he is old, the spirit in his eyes, where can a person who lingers on the sickbed have?

When Xu Sanjiang saw Li Yunshui coming in from outside the tent, Ma Li got up to greet him, and praised with a smile: "What a heroic boy!" ”

The two of them gave each other a few humble words.

Li Yunshui saw that Xu Sanjiang had talked about something inconsequential, so he stopped talking, but listened attentively, echoing from time to time. Xu Sanjiang is old and refined, how can he not understand? He held back and sighed heavily: "I think, Li Gongzi must be very curious. It is rumored that my old man is about to return to the West in the near future, how can he be so vigorous? ”

Li Yunshui smiled: "Yunshui doesn't dare, the old general should be strong, and it is the blessing of the Shaping Yang Society." ”

"You don't have to praise my old man like that. Thinking about being unknown for 20 years, with the reputation of poor talent and poor martial arts, he has been holding back, and he has been patient, and he will never be a thing in the pool in the future! ”

Without waiting for Li Yunshui to say anything, Xu Sanjiang continued-

"The old man also has unspeakable hardships!"

"The emperor is under his knees, and there are three sons. The crown prince has been canonized as the crown prince since birth, and he is bound to obtain the great treasure, and he cannot be touched by others. ”

"Although the third prince is young, the city is deep, and he has been fighting with the prince for many years, but he is not left behind."

"Second Prince...... Because of a man-made accident, I hurt my head, and I have been delirious all the time, and I am an idiot......"

"It's actually nothing, throughout the ages, which royal family is not fighting for power? The battle for succession has never been a new thing. However, the emperor was supposed to be in his prime, but he turned a blind eye to the matter of seizing the heir, which added fuel to the fire, and he ...... He is leisurely, but how should those of us who are courtiers deal with ourselves? ”

"The people sent by the crown prince and the third prince are like carp crossing the river, which makes the old man very uneasy. But that big treasure, how can my old man get his hands on it? ”

Although there is no one around, how can Li Yunshui listen to such things? So he got up and bowed, and interrupted quietly: "Old general, Yunshui is a cloth cloth, aiming at martial arts in the rivers and lakes, such temple things, I'm afraid it's better to know less, and ask the old general to be compassionate." ”

Xu Sanjiang waved his hand and stared at Li Yunshui: "Childe, this is narrow-minded, the end of the rivers and lakes, if it is not the court, where else can it be?" ”

"I think that the news that the prince chatted with the emperor and had a good conversation has spread in the court, and ...... As I just said, the prince has endured for many years, and the trick in his chest is not a secret, how could the prince and the third prince not understand? It is estimated that the two parties are already on the way. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yunshui was puzzled: "When will I see Long Yan, and how can I talk happily?" The old general is not joking! ”

Xu Sanjiang stroked his beard, smiled faintly, and did not answer this question, but continued: "If you want to come to the court, it is already a sure thing. ”

"It's just that the old man has a reluctant request."

Without waiting for Li Yunshui to answer, Xu Sanjiang spoke first: "I have let Ruoyun get out of the army, so be a pawn next to Gongzi!" ”

"Please don't shirk your son!" Xu Sanjiang ignored his old age and high position, but actually got up and bowed: "If the son doesn't agree, the old man ...... That's on your knees! ”

Seeing that Xu Sanjiang's legs were bent and he was about to kneel, Li Yunshui hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "So, I agreed." It's just that...... I am the same age as Brother Ruoyun, and I can't afford these three words, we can be friends and brothers! ”

When Xu Sanjiang heard Li Yunshui's statement, he was relieved for a while, and thanked again and again: "Compared with the son, the dog is no different from Yunni, if the son can treat him well, the old man is really grateful." ”

"Ruoyun over the years, I mainly let him learn more about the way of the world, and let him spill his blood for his son, even if it is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!"

At that moment, he beckoned Xu Ruoyun in, but ignored Li Yunshui's thousands of excuses, and asked Xu Ruoyun to kowtow to Li Yunshui three times.

At this time, the matter had been settled, Xu Sanjiang ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food, happy like a child, drank two pots of wine for the first time, and then got drunk. Xu Ruoyun told a few confidants to take good care of their father, and after receiving a positive answer, he went out of the camp with Li Yunshui without looking back.

"Brother Ruoyun, the old general arranged it like this, do you know the deep meaning?" Sitting on the horse presented by Xu Ruoyun, Li Yunshui was thoughtful.

"Childe, I really don't know what my father's arrangement means, but what my father said, I will definitely do it, and please rest assured." Xu Ruoyun, who was half a horse behind, respected Li Yunshui very much, and it was completely a subordinate posture.

"Brother Ruoyun, you don't have to be so polite, we will be commensurate with brothers in the future, and we must not ......"

Without waiting for Xu Ruoyun to refuse, Li Yunshui smiled slightly: "It's decided like this, Brother Ruoyun doesn't have to refuse." ”

"Okay then...... Brother Yunshui. ”

In this way, the two returned to the city with some talk and laughter.

At the same time, Zhu Xie was sitting on the altar, spitting lotus flowers, really looking like a famous monk, and poured countless listeners.

However, the shock protrusion.

Outside the crowd, a group of dusty people, led by an old man, rampaged into the dojo, ignoring everyone in the field, in front of the eyes of everyone, and shouted at Zhu Xie -

"Zhu Jie, you prostitute monk who doesn't abide by the rules and precepts, return my daughter!"

The voice was full of despair, anger, and ...... Helpless!
