When the news of Wang Zuo's death reached Sima Shao's ears, he just said in front of the ministers: "It's a pity", and didn't say anything more. Then he sent a decree to thank Ann for going to the palace to face the king. Xie An received the decree and said to the people who came to announce the decree: "I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well, I can't go to Mianjun, and I hope my emperor will understand." Sima Shao understood as soon as he heard it, he was angry with me, so he quietly ordered his eunuchs: "Follow me out of the palace." He only led four people to Xie An's mansion without realizing it. Xie An was chatting with his family in the courtyard, and a eunuch came to report: "The emperor has come to see you." Just this sentence scared Xie An's face like dirt.

He hurriedly got up to greet the holy driver, but as soon as he turned around, Sima Shao was already standing behind him. Xie An hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor." Sima Shao hurriedly picked Xie An up. He said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite. If it weren't for you, where would we be in Dajin now? You are not only the pillar of Dajin, but also the benefactor of our family. I thank you here", and bowed deeply. When Xie An saw it, he quickly knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, how can I, Xie An, let you do this, don't kill the old minister." "To say that this Sima Shao is much stronger than his father Sima Ruike, just these few words, Xie An has no grievances for so many years. Hurriedly instructed the family to "make tea and prepare a banquet." ”

Sima Shao said: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, I have something to ask for this time." Xie An understood in his heart as soon as he heard this, so he said: "Long live, as long as there is a place where the old minister is needed, it is okay to go to the soup and the fire." Sima Shao said: "That's the case. So he told him what was ahead of him from beginning to end. Xie An pondered for a while and said, "Long live, I think we should send rescue troops quickly, otherwise, Wang Daolin will be in danger." Sima Shao said: "But who to send?" Xie An said: "You forget, we also have a marshal Zhao Guodong." can send him to the Yellow River ferry to pick up Wang Daolin back. In addition, the crossing of the Yellow River should be temporarily abandoned, and the forces should be reduced to the Huai River valley, where they should look for fighters to annihilate the invading enemy. ”

Xie An took a sip of water and said: "Your Majesty, after Zhao Guodong brings Wang Daolin back, you can order the two of them to divide their troops to guard the dangerous pass, and also send a group of men and horses to avoid its edge and sweep away the scattered forces of the southeast Qin State, so that these three forces are in a corner and can support each other if there is something." In addition, a surprise army was sent deep into the newly occupied areas of the enemy, destroying his grain stands and cutting off his supplies. so that he did not dare to push forward unscrupulously. Prepare us for strength to buy time. In addition, we are also recruiting more than 100,000 new soldiers, strictly training them, and sending them out at critical times, I think it will have an unexpected effect. ”

After hearing Xie An's words, Sima Shao couldn't help nodding, and he said: "It's just that who should be in charge of this third way?" Xie An said: "Long live, the minister wants to protect a person, this person can be described as a handsome talent." Sima Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said impatiently: "Tell me, who is this person?" Xie An said: "He is my nephew Xie Xuan." This man can do the task. Sima Shao's heart sank when he heard this, and he said casually: "How old is he this year?" Xie An said: "Twenty-three years old." Sima Shao nodded slightly.

Xie An said: "I still have an idea, that is, to find Xiaolin back, let him lead this strange army, quietly infiltrate the enemy's occupied area, it plays no less role than the previous two roads." Hearing this, Sima Shao's heart was shocked, and he said in his heart: "It's really loyal to the country." The more the two of them talked, the more speculative they became, and they kept talking about the evening of the day, and after dinner, Sima Shao left Xie An's house.

The next morning, Sima Shao issued an edict "ordering Zhao Guodong to lead 100,000 men and horses to cross the Yellow River to pick up Wang Daolin and return." After returning, the two men were stationed in the Huai River valley to resist the Qin State. Then he issued another summons: "Appoint Xie An as the prime minister and crown him as the prince." For a while, Xie Anquan leaned towards the opposition. Regarding the matter of inviting Xiaolin, he originally wanted to make a holy decree, but was stopped by Xie An, he knew that Xiaolin was an upright person, but because of the prince Sima Huan's marriage, he offended the first emperor Sima Rui and almost died, although in the end he was acquitted, Sima Rui also took out 100,000 taels of silver to help Xiaolin rebuild the Baiyun Temple, but Xiaolin never forgot about it. How could such a top martial arts master like this today be able to be moved by a holy decree? Xie An said: "I want to go to Baiyun Temple, during this time I am away, if Your Majesty has something, I want my brother Xie Jin to ask." Sima Shao nodded in agreement. After making a little arrangement for the affairs of the court, he led six or seven men and set off.

Since Xiao Lin returned to the Baiyun Temple, he was dedicated to rebuilding the Baiyun Temple, in just five years, he built a Baiyun Temple full of fragments and broken walls, built a thriving, unprecedented scale of super-scale buildings, its scale is three times more than the original, when the Baiyun Temple was built, he once took Ji Yun over, Ji Yun saw the scale of the Baiyun Temple now, he was very shocked, when Xiao Lin asked him to stay, he resolutely refused. It didn't take long for Ji Yun to quietly disappear, and even Xiao Lin didn't know where it was.

After more than ten years of development, now Xiaolin's Baiyun Temple has more than 30 disciples, including thirteen who have small achievements, and those with outstanding martial arts include Fang Hua, Fang Shu and Fang Hua, and the three swordsmen of the Fang family. In addition, Wang Gan, the apprentice of Tie Luohan, also worships Xiaolin as his teacher, and his martial arts can be said to have developed by leaps and bounds compared to before. Xiaolin's son Lin Feng, according to Xiaolin's meaning, he wants his son to learn literature, but, maybe it's a natural gene, this child has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he is sleepy when he touches books, as long as he learns martial arts, he will come to the spirit, and finally Xiaolin and his wife discussed that he had to let him follow him to learn martial arts, this child is also outstanding now, and ordinary swordsmen are not his opponents, especially Xuanhuan Palm, which is not inferior to Xiaolin. As long as he has time, Xiao Lin visits martial arts people within a radius of hundreds of miles, so in this radius of hundreds of miles, as long as Xiao Lin is mentioned, there is nothing he doesn't know. It can be said that he has achieved a lot now, and under his management, the entire Baiyun Temple is thriving.

On this day, Xiao Lin was watching his apprentices practice martial arts, and a man walked in and said, "Master, there is a person outside the door who claims to be your old friend and has come to see you." Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "My old friend?" Didn't he say who it was?" "He didn't say it, he just said that you can go out and take a look." After hearing this, Xiao Lin hurriedly walked out of Baiyun Temple, and met Xie An head-on, Xiao Lin was stunned, and immediately took a few steps and folded his hands and said: "Prime Minister, why are you free to come to me today? Xie An looked up at Xiao Lin, don't look at him at forty years old this year, but his face is ruddy, his eyes are bright, he is running all over the road, holding the dust in his hand, he looks good, he nodded and said: "Daoist Mingyue, you won't welcome me, right?" After speaking, both of them laughed, and Xiao Lin said: "Where is it, the prime minister works hard for the country, and I may not have time even if I ask you." After saying that, he gave up.

Xie An and Xiao Lin walked together for a few white clouds. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw many Baiyunguan disciples practicing martial arts, Xie An looked at it and said, "It's really a good martial art." Xiao Lin said: "The prime minister came to me, didn't he just come to see his disciples perform martial arts?" Xie An smiled and said, "That's natural." After speaking, the two came to the central hall and sat down as guests. Xie An looked at the hall and nodded incessantly, Xiao Lin was anxious, and he said: "I know, the prime minister has a lot of opportunities, please tell me if you have anything." Xie An sighed and said, "Master Mingyue, I have something to ask for." Xiao Lin said: "Prime Minister, you and I have known each other for so many years, it is best to call me Xiao Lin." Xie An told the intention of this visit and the recent events in the imperial court from beginning to end, and finally said: "Now that Dajin is facing an unprecedented threat, all kinds of signs indicate that Daqin is going to attack my Dajin on a large scale this time, for the sake of the country's society, I implore Master Xiaolin to go out of the mountain on behalf of the emperor." "Who knows, hearing Xie An's words, Xiao Lin's next move surprised Xie An.
