Chapter 43 Friends to Friends Rules are rules

Huo Qiji ate a closed door.

It seems that going through the main gate will not work, looking at the meaning of the housekeeper, it seems that he may not be able to enter the Xiliang Mansion if he reports his real name.

The walls of the palace were very high, but they were no higher than Huo Qiji's jump.

He prepared to visit the palace at night.

King Xiliang had already sat back in his chair, enjoying his daughter's little fist landing on his shoulder.

He closed his eyes, but he did not recuperate, but after thinking about the old man who came thirteen years ago.

The strength of my daughter's fists is just right, and it is very comfortable.

As long as it is Xiao Momo's shoulder, the strength is just right.

The King of Xiliang opened his eyes and asked, "Old Song, are you sure it's him?" You haven't seen this person for thirteen years. ”

The fist that fell on his shoulder was a little messy, and he didn't allow the housekeeper Lao Song to speak, Shangguan Zimo jumped to his feet and said: "Daddy, Daddy, I remember who the person outside is, it's the little doll's master, you said that it took me thirteen years to remember, it's that big brother, what's it called?"

After thinking about it for a while, she didn't remember that she was only four years old at the time and had never asked the name of this big brother at all.

She thought about him standing outside the door, as if he had a lot of vicissitudes, just like her eldest brother, and a little unshaven.

It's all to blame on him, he lowered his head, he stood so tall that he didn't recognize it at once.

Thinking about it, the fist in his hand began to smash again.

Shangguan Qingyun stretched out his hand to stop his daughter's hand, so as not to hit his head, and he smiled: "You little girl still remembers him." ”

Since it's him, he still has to see him, but now he has inconveniences.

Although the two people in Shikong Temple did not follow them all the time, with the skills of the two of them, they must be able to feel that such a master came to the palace, after all, they were in the room near the study.

Looking at the book "Buddha Says Forty-two Chapters Sutra" on the table, King Xiliang was angry, Lao Tzu dignified King Xiliang, was so angry that he was even guarded by people when he slept, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's old age, he would have to let the two monks listen to what is called the sound of beauty.

He regretted letting the two masters of Shikong Temple enter the Xiliang Palace.

Half a year ago, two senior monks from Shikong Temple came to the door and said that they wanted to help King Xiliang and protect his safety, and at that time, King Xiliang was receiving the news of King Lu's assassination.

Although the king of Xiliang is brave and good at fighting, it is just a battlefield to kill the enemy, and it is still not as good as the people in the rivers and lakes. And he is under the banner of "Qingjun side, new monarch", it is easy to be targeted by the deer cutting building.

The intention of this deer cutting tower is obvious, it is to get involved in the world, Shangguan Qingyun suspects that it was which feudal king colluded with the people in the rivers and lakes to secretly make such a deer cutting building.

The people of the rivers and lakes have to be dealt with by the people of the rivers and lakes, so he is very happy that the people from the Shikong Temple are coming.

Unexpectedly, this move became a lure of wolves.

This Shikong Temple actually secretly colluded with Tibet.

If he hadn't kept an eye on it and ordered his eldest son, Shangguan Ziyang, to guard Dingxi City, which was close to Tubo, I'm afraid that the white-eyed wolves in Tubo would have attacked.

These bald donkeys, they don't recite the scriptures well, and they try to influence the general trend of the world, and let themselves read what "Buddha Said", and what do they do, which one is what the Buddha said?

Glancing at the housekeeper Lao Song, he asked in a low voice, "Is there a way to find him?"

The housekeeper nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to see him, it is difficult for him to meet you, and I am afraid that only this person can solve the danger of the palace, but if it is known by the two monks, I am afraid that the king will put himself in danger." ”

Shangguan Qingyun frowned and said: "The two masters of Shikong Temple, I'm afraid that he alone can be the enemy, and this matter is difficult to handle." ”

The butler said, "Why don't you get in touch with him first, and then think about it in the long run?"

At this time, Shangguan Zimo said: "Daddy, why don't I go find Brother Gongsun and ask him to transfer a team of people over as a response?"

"No!"

Shangguan Qingyun waved his hand and said,

"If you hear the movement, I'm afraid your father and I will die first. ”

Tapping his fingers on the table, Shangguan Qingyun said, "Old Song, first find a way to contact him and tell me about the current situation of this king." ”

Then there was a knock at the door,

"Shi Yuan and his disciple Kongjian came to talk to the king about the scriptures. ”

Shangguan Qingyun was startled, sat up straight, motioned to the little daughter behind him to continue beating her back, and nodded at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper Song Bo went to open the door.

Shangguan Qingyun opened the scriptures on the bookcase.

The steward bowed to the two monks who came in.

"I've seen two masters!"

The two returned the favor.

Shangguan Qingyun opened his mouth and said, "The two monks, please take a seat!"

Then he said to the housekeeper: "Old Song, look at the tea!"

After speaking, he tilted his head slightly and said: "Momo, I want to ask the master about Buddhism, you go to your mother, learn embroidery from female workers and the like, don't always go out and run, remember, you are not allowed to go out for the past two days." ”

Shangguan Zimo pouted and said, "I know!"

After speaking, he ignored the two senior monks of Shikong Temple who were seated and left directly.

The two monks were unimpressed.

Shangguan Qingyun looked at the Buddhist scripture in his hand and said: "The two senior monks came by coincidence, and this king just happened to read the nineteenth chapter, and he was confused and couldn't understand it. ”

Shi Yuan smiled, stood with one palm on his chest, bowed his head slightly, sang a Buddha name, and said, "Your Majesty, please speak, the old man is willing to practice Buddhism with the king." ”

Shangguan Qingyun held the book and said: "The Buddha said: Viewing the world, thinking the very, looking at the world, thinking the very, contemplating the spiritual sense, that is, Bodhi." If it is knowledge, it will be a disease. Dare to ask the master, what is extraordinary, what is spiritual awareness, and what is the meaning of this Bodhi?"

Shi Yuan is the elder of the Dharma Hall of the Liberation Gate, and Kong Jian, who sits at the head of it, is his personal disciple.

Hearing King Xiliang's question, Shi Yuan nodded slightly, it seems that this scripture was not sent to him in vain. The book "Buddha Says Forty-two Chapters Sutra" in the hand of King Xiliang is a handwritten copy by Master Shi Huai, the abbot of Shikong Gate, which is very precious.

He slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, this Bodhi is the supreme realm that my cultivators are pursuing, for the sake of enlightenment and clear understanding of the mind. Constant, eternal is also, eternal and unchanging. Buddha said: Observe the heaven and the earth, view the world, and read the very. The heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, throughout the ages, the universe in all directions, as if eternal and unchanging, are actually changing, which is very much. When we know the truth, we have spiritual awareness and reach the state of Bodhi. ”

Shangguan Qingyun asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the master, the Buddha said that the four are empty, so the Bodhi of seeking is empty or not?"

Master Shi Yuan said with a smile: "The old monk's practice of Buddhism is not enough, and he has not yet reached the level of Bodhi fruit. As for what the king asked, the old man did not dare to say anything. ”

Shangguan Qingyun said: "That king has nothing to ask!"

At this time, he said: "Your Majesty, the family teacher received a letter from the master of the Sect of Interpretation, the flying pigeon, mentioning that Huo Qiji, the son of Huo Xingwei, the deputy head of the Xuanyi Sect, visited the Liberation Gate a few days ago. He reminded me and Master to pay attention to the safety of the king. ”

Shi Yuan opened his mouth and said: "The king may not know that this Huo Qiji was the leader of the martial arts competition and the son of Huo Xingwei, and his skills are very good. The king is now under the banner of the Qing monarch, which is to be unfavorable to his father, so the senior brother sent a letter to make it clear that the two of us should pay attention to the movement of Na Huo Qi and protect the king Zhou Quan, and the old man is brave, and he also asked the king to send someone to search for this person in the past few days, and the two of us will follow the king around, in case this person is not good for the king. ”

When Shangguan Qingyun heard this, his heart tightened, and he didn't show any emotion on his face, but said: "There is still such a thing? Then the king of this book should thank your master Shihuai, Huo Xingwei's old puppet, for doing such a big rebellious act, everyone will be punished when they see it." Since his son has come to Xiliang City, it is naturally not a good thing, and the safety of this king is due to the two masters of Lao. In addition, the two of you are bothered to tell the master of your faction that the king has chosen the mountain to build a new temple, which is in the Changliu Mountain next to our Xiliang City, but our Xiliang is now preparing for the Eastern Expedition, and there is less conscription, and the construction of the temple may have to be delayed. ”

Shi Yuan opened his mouth and said: "There is King Lao, and the old man must inform the abbot of this matter." The king's move, when the merit is immeasurable, may the Buddha bless, the king will be able to complete the grand plan and hegemony. ”

Thinking in his heart, he blessed a fart, but said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the king will go to eat, and the two monks will take care of themselves." ”

Anyway, wherever they go, they will only be only twenty feet away from themselves.

In order to disgust these bald donkeys, this Xiliang King specializes in eating meat and eating it in different ways.

You can't let Lao Tzu quit eating meat for the sake of you bald donkeys, if you dare to talk about eating meat with this king, then this king will stick his head over to see if you dare to do it.

Kongjian was angry and complained to Master Shiyuan.

Shi Yuan said: "To see or not to see, not in front of you, but in your heart." ”

The empty view is called yes.

It's just that he still couldn't help drooling, so he had to sit a little farther away and recite the scriptures silently.

For dinner today, the housekeeper ordered a fire to be set up and roasted a whole sheep in the yard.

Incense, real fragrance, full of fragrance.

Seeing this, King Xiliang secretly admired in his heart, worthy of the old Song who had followed him for many years.

The fire was burning very strongly, and the half-sized sheep were hanging on the fire, and some people were constantly roasting.

The meat had been roasted to a golden brown, and the grease was dripping on the fire, and puffs of green smoke were rising.

Shangguan Zimo opened a jar of good wine for his father very intimately.

King Xiliang never used a bowl to drink, and he always drank with an altar.

Two monks of the Liberation Gate are made on the roof, closing their eyes and chanting.

It was getting late, the stars were shining in the night sky, Huo Xingwei jumped and squatted on the high wall of the palace.

When he saw the fire, he took advantage of the darkness to reach for it.

The figure disappeared above the high wall.

————————————————

Zhang Zhongqian finished reading the letter in his hand and handed it to Yuan Xi.

Che Sanqian clearly said in the letter that Zhang Gongzi and several masters were invited to go to the Invincible God Fist Gang to talk about it.

If you don't go, it's just that this Gongzi's goods may not be able to get out of this Wuling City safely.

Zhang Zhongqian knew the means of Che Sanqian.

Cheng Shifei shouted: "Go and go, I'm afraid of him!"

Zhang Zhongqian glared at him and said, "Have you ever been a family? Do you know how many people there are in their gang? As the saying goes, a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, and if the other party sets up an ambush, we may not be able to retreat." ”

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Xi and asked,

"Yuan Gongzi, what do you think?"

Yuan Xi replied: "Zhang Gongzi, go, let's come from afar, we can't fall short because of this, you are a businessman, he is also a businessman, let's go, only talk about business, if he doesn't follow the rules, let's break it with our strength." ”

Looking at the three of them, he continued: "After we go, we have to be very careful, if there is any accident, I will be responsible for dealing with the three thousand cars, you strive to quickly take down the two hall masters, at least that Wei Dayong should not be your enemy." In addition, we must be measured in our shots and try to capture them as much as possible, so that we can also talk about the conditions. ”

Cheng Shifei glared and asked, "Brother Yuan, what about me? Why is there nothing wrong with me?"

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Yes, this Invincible Divine Fist Gang naturally helps a lot of people, isn't it enough for you to fight?" You and Zhang Gongzi are improvised, and act carefully. ”

Zhang Zhongqian said: "It's really not good, I'll prepare the silver first, let's show it." ”

Cheng Shifei muttered: "Brother-in-law, then how can I be, everyone has beaten up, is it effective to show favor at this time?"

Zhang Zhongqian thought about it, too, so he said: "Then let's do what Yuan Gongzi said, I didn't expect that before I left Wuling City, such an incident occurred, and Zhang Mouren would like to thank the two of you here." ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhongqian saluted Yuan Xi and Chen Suisui.

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to stop him, and Chen Suisui was a little at a loss.

Yuan Xi said: "As the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others, we use money to do things, and Zhang Gongzi doesn't need to do this." ”

After a night, the three of them had no sleep, and Yuan Xi slept soundly.

Zhang Zhongqian was worried, and he couldn't sleep excitedly.

As for Chen Suisui, he was thinking about how to make a move when the time came.

Except for that time with Yuan Xi, he has never officially fought with others.

Only Mr. Tao fed him.

According to Yuan Xi, but let him restrain the two of them at once, what should he do?

He was afraid that he would accidentally hurt someone again.

The next day, the four people who had eaten the morning food walked out of the city.

The Invincible God Fist Gang was still set up outside the city, where the original ruined temple was.

On the way, Zhang Zhongqian told the three of them about another thing about the car 3,000.

Zhang Zhongqian first talked about the tavern that originally gave Che 3,000 a bite to eat, and the old shopkeeper is now the owner of Wanfulou in the city.

Zhang Zhongqian sold a pass and asked Xiang Cheng: "Xiaofei, do you know why?"

Cheng Shifei asked: "Could it be that the car is 3,000 liners?"

Zhang Zhongqian smiled, and then said: "The granddaughter of the old shopkeeper promised to make three rooms for Lord Lao in the city. This Lord Lao is the God of Wealth of our merchants, and he can't afford to mess with it, you said that with such a big thick leg next to the tavern, business will naturally be easy to do. ”

Cheng Shifei glared at his brother-in-law and asked, "It has nothing to do with that car three thousand, brother-in-law, what are you doing with this?"

Zhang Zhongqian said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's still a little related, after all, this tavern is a meal for Che Sanqian." Do you think the three thousand cars will collect the tavern's protection silver?"

Cheng Shifei said: "Brother-in-law, your question is so unreasonable, the tavern is hugging the thigh of the official mansion, and you still need his car for 3,000? ”

Zhang Zhongqian said with a smile: "Why don't you need it? If someone makes a bad thing and goes to the tavern to say some strange things, the wine is not good, and the food is not palatable, then the government can still manage it? In this business, some people try their best to improve themselves, while some people rack their brains to damage others. Like this kind of restaurant business, what you want is word of mouth, this old shopkeeper is also an honest man, and some people make trouble and swallow their anger, and his granddaughter is just a concubine, and she has no status in the house. ”

Cheng Shifei said curiously: "Is it that the car 3,000 went to repay the favor?"

Zhang Zhongqian shook his head and continued: "Che Sanqian is a strange person, whether he went to Wanfulou to negotiate the conditions, or his conditions, there is labor in the store and handed over to him the Invincible God Fist Gang, and the protection fee will be charged." ”

Cheng was puzzled, and asked: "Brother-in-law, is that Che 3000 such an ungrateful person?" What I said, they will treat us like this, you must know that we were the first people to believe in his Che 3000. ”

Yuan Xi, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "Xiao Fei, I remember that Zhang Gongzi said that Che Sanqian chopped a lot of firewood for that tavern at the beginning, and exchanged his strength for food, and he didn't owe anything to the shopkeeper for Che Sanqian." As for whether he remembered the kindness of the old shopkeeper in his heart, it was another matter. As for our cloth village, it is also a business with it, not necessarily that he is ungrateful for three thousand cars, yesterday's events, if he is reasonable, we will be reasonable, if he comes hard, we will take it. ”

Zhang Zhongqian continued: "Yuan Gongzi is right, the car three thousand made it very clear in the tavern that the rules of his invincible God Fist Gang cannot be abolished, what should be done, and Wanfulou is no exception." As for whether Che Sanqian did anything for the old shopkeeper in private, we don't know, but there are rumors that the granddaughter of the old shopkeeper, that is, the one who married into the family of Lord Lao, has a story with Che Sanqian. ”

As soon as he heard his brother-in-law talk about this, he became a god, and asked curiously with wide eyes: "Brother-in-law, the two of you won't have that adulterous relationship, right? ”

Zhang Zhongqian's face was a little dignified, and his voice was slightly lower,

"This is the terrible place of Che Sanqian, in the past few years, I didn't expect his power to be so big, almost completely controlling the laborers, beggars, and thieves in Wuling City. Think about it, there are these people in the gang, and there are still things that he can't inquire about with his three thousand cars, and the people in the official mansion, which one has no secrets? I'm afraid that Lord Nalao has some tricks in his hands. It is said that Lord Nalao no longer dared to touch his concubine, so he found a courtyard for him alone, but Che Sanqian often went in and out of that courtyard and did not shy away from it. ”

Cheng Shifei was surprised: "This is okay?"

Yuan Xi and Chen Suisui also looked surprised.

Zhang Zhongqian said: "Our Lord Lauder, but the famous romantic characters in Wuling City are almost fifty people, and they don't often go to drink flower wine. Now, last year, he took a fourth concubine. As for the granddaughter of the old shopkeeper, in the eyes of Lord Lao, it is just a piece of clothing. ”

Cheng Shifei's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, do you also want to buy new clothes?"

"Huh?"

Suddenly understood what it meant, Zhang Zhongqian glared at him and said: "Don't talk nonsense, your sister told me to refuse the matter of taking a concubine, Xiao Fei, if you go back this time, you can help your brother-in-law more." ”

Cheng Shifei nodded and said, "That's natural, who made you my brother-in-law." ”

was interrupted by right and wrong, Zhang Zhongqian's nervous mood relaxed a little.

A few people came out of the city talking and laughing.

The ruined temple has been repaired, and the plaque has been replaced with a few big characters of the Invincible God Fist Gang.

There were two men standing in front of the courtyard gate, and when they saw the four of them coming, they greeted them, and one of them asked,

"Dare to ask, but Zhang Jibu Zhuang Boss Zhang and his party?"

Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said, "Yes, it was Zhang, who came to pay a visit at the invitation of the head of the car." ”

The man stretched out his hand and led falsely,

"Boss Zhang, please, the helper and the two masters are already waiting for a few. ”

The four of them walked in with the man.

Che Sanqian sat on the big seat in the hall and looked at the four people who walked in.

Walking into the Juyi Hall, Zhang Zhongqian looked at this battle and thought to himself, this car of 3,000 can really afford to look down on himself.

Arching his hand, he opened his mouth and said: "I have seen the big boss of the car, Zhang was invited to come, I don't know what the big boss commanded?"

Yuan Xi stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the small leader of the gang on the big seat.

The car is not tall for 3,000 people, it is really not tall, and it is a head shorter than Xiaofei.

With a white face and beard, he doesn't look like a martial artist, like a weak scholar.

It's just that his internal strength, although he is restrained, can't hide Yuan Xi's eyes.

Cheng Shifei and Chen Suisui were looking around.

Different from imagination, there were only three people in the entire hall, which surprised a few people who originally thought they were going deep into the tiger's den.

Che Sanqian jumped up, stood in front of the big seat, and said: "Zhang Zhongqian, don't say those polite words to me, you are too little of a friend, you are going to leave like this, and you won't say goodbye to me?"

Zhang Zhongqian arched his hand and smiled: "There is a concern about the head of Laoda, it is Zhong Qian's negligence, and Zhang will hold a banquet in Wanfu Building later, and invite the three masters to appreciate the light, and give Zhong Qian a chance to say goodbye." ”

Che Sanqian waved his hand and said: "Hey, if you say this, you will see outside, it should be me to see you off, I have asked someone to prepare a banquet, you will have to drink a few glasses in a while." Brother Zhongqian, I don't know who these three talents are behind you? ”

Entering the hall, Che Sanqian didn't say a word about yesterday's events, I don't know what his plans are, even if he has doubts in his heart, Zhang Zhongqian can only wait and see what happens, and he said with a smile: "I'll introduce it to the big boss." ”

He pulled Cheng right and wrong over first, and said: "This is my brother-in-law, his name is right and wrong, and his father is the owner of our Bazhou Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion." ”

After speaking, he said to Cheng Shifei: "Xiao Fei, this is the car gang master, that is the high hall master, this one here I saw yesterday, it is the Wei hall master." ”

Cheng Shifei gestured and said, "I've seen the car gang master, the hall master." ”

Cheng didn't pay attention to Wei Dayong.

Zhang Zhongqian had a headache, how to introduce Yuan Xi and Chen Suisui.

At this time, Yuan Xi opened his mouth,

"Yuan Xi, Zhang Gongzi's friend. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Chen Suisui, who was a little nervous, and said, "Chen Suisui is also a friend." ”

After Yuan Xi finished speaking, Che Sanqian's eyes flashed, and before a few people entered the door, he noticed these two people, it seems that what the third child said is true, it is indeed two young masters.

He laughed and said, "Okay, okay, Zhong Qian, you have two good friends, since the two are friends of Zhong Qian, that is my friend of the three thousand, can you two be willing to appreciate your face and have a drink together?"

When Yuan Xi heard this, he glanced at Zhang Zhongqian and said, "A friend's friend may not be a friend, but this wine can be drunk." ”

Hearing this, Che Sanqian was stunned, and then laughed and said: "This son is a wonderful person, second, third, let's go, let's talk about it at the wine table." ”

The tall man stood up and threw his hand at a few people, while Wei Dayong was expressionless.

Cheng Shifei whispered: "Brother-in-law, Brother Yuan, he won't poison us, right?"

Che Sanqian, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around and said, "This little brother can't trust my Che?"
