Xu Zhi hurriedly thanked: "The master is merciful, and the disciples must remember the spirit of my Shaolin Jishidu people, and throw their heads and blood for justice!", An Jingsi, Xue Atan, Liao Yin and other disciples also echoed in unison.

Zhixin was very relieved and said with a smile, "Since the establishment of my Shaolin temple, although it has gone through wind and rain, the determination and will to support justice and Pudu everyone remains unchanged, and now our temple is destroyed and scattered, but every Shaolin disciple no matter where he is, is like a tenacious seed, to bloom the flower of justice all over the land of China!"

After saying goodbye to the letter, he said goodbye to everyone one by one, and led the remaining disciples to Jiangnan to prepare for the establishment of Southern Shaolin.

Xu Zhimu sent Master Zhixin away, and then asked: "Brother Ling, the junior brother has decided to go to Luoyang with Uncle Huang to join the army, do you want to go with you?"

Ling Kong replied: "Your eldest brother has been idle all his life, wandering the world, but he doesn't want to get involved in too many mundane things! You and my brother will be separated for the time being, you and Miss Zhou will go north to meet the Yellow King, and I will follow Master Zhixin to the south. This time, Yun Feiyang did not kill the Shaolin Temple, and he must inform Jiang Wangmiao to block the Shaolin disciples in the south of the Yangtze River, and the eldest brother can also help the master if necessary!"

Xu Zhi didn't expect to get together with Ling Kong for a short time and have to separate, but he took the overall situation into account and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Big brother, it's winter now, you have to add more clothes along the way, and you have to beware of the intrigues of Jiang Shenmiao!"

Ling Kong smiled: "Brother Xu, look at your chatter, but with Miss Zhou by your side, I am also relieved." Big brother is here to say goodbye to all the brothers!", after saying that, he waved his hand to everyone, and followed Zhixin away.

Seeing that the volley was far away, Huang He instructed the messenger to send a message to the Yellow King quickly, and asked his subordinates to bring a few good horses to the heroes, while he followed behind Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi, waiting carefully. Shang Rang's army bypassed the Huaisi garrison of the imperial court, set out from Chenzhou, broke the Dengfeng camp of the imperial court, and had conquered Luoyang City, and the Yellow King asked the heroes to rest in Xuanyuan Terrace at night and meet in Luoyang tomorrow.

This Xuanyuan platform is an important post station leading to Luoyang in ancient and modern times, there is a thousand-year-old tree outside the post station, it takes more than a dozen people to hug it, it is said that the Yellow Emperor of ancient times once rode the dragon under this tree to fly to the sky. Everyone saw that Xuanyuan Terrace was located at the northern foot of Songshan Mountain, which was once an important stronghold of the imperial court besieging Shaolin Temple, and now Li Xiuyun and Yun Feiyang led the officers and soldiers to have long since fled, leaving only the corpses of the officers and soldiers and rubble and scorched wood.

Zhou Yuanzhi asked the soldiers to clean up the pavilion before letting the heroes stay. Zhou Yuanzhi finished arranging everything and pulled Xu Zhi to see the thousand-year-old tree, but Xu Zhi couldn't resist him, so he had to go out with her.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that the ancient tree was strong and powerful, and the branches were luxuriant, and sighed: "Brother Xu, this ancient tree is intertwined, like a dragon, is it really planted by the Yellow Emperor himself?"

Xu Zhi replied: "Yes, according to the historical records, this tree was planted by the Yellow Emperor when he was young, it was originally the incarnation of the dragon, very spiritual, and once sheltered the Yellow Emperor from the cold and heat, and sheltered from the wind and rain;

Zhou Yuanzhi touched the wrinkled trunk of the tree and exclaimed, "Is this tree really so legendary?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi, when did Brother Xu deceive you? Don't you believe that you can knock on the trunk of the tree, you can hear the sound of knocking, the trunk is empty, it is the residence of the Yellow Emperor's mount Canglong!"

Zhou Yuanzhi patted the big tree, and sure enough, she heard a crisp knock sound, and said happily: "It's really as the big brother said!"

At this time, a cold wind swept by, and pieces of yellow leaves fell from the big trees with the wind, and Zhou Yuanzhi exclaimed excitedly: "Brother Xu, this fallen leaves are so beautiful, like colorful butterflies flying in the air!"

Xu Zhi replied: "Yuan Zhi, I'll help you catch a few butterflies and come back!", after speaking, he performed light skills, jumped up from the ground, drew a circle in the air with both hands, and jumped back to the ground.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Xu Zhi's hands were full of speckled dead leaves, which were not as perfect as those seen in the air, and muttered: "It's not beautiful at all, don't want it!", and deliberately ran away after speaking.

Xu Zhi chased after him, but his eyes were confused by the dust raised by a gust of west wind. When Zhou Yuanzhi saw it, she took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes in distress. Huang He, Pang Xun, An Jingsi and others couldn't find Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi in the post station, and they also came out of Xuanyuan Terrace, and happened to meet Xu and Zhou close to each other, so they turned around embarrassedly.

Xu Zhi saw that everyone had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Yuan Zhi is helping me wipe my eyes, you don't have to avoid it!"

Only then did everyone turn around, and a dead leaf happened to fall into Xue Atan's neck, cold and cold, Xue Atan sighed: "It's the winter moon, the west wind is biting, everyone is still chatting around the fire in the house, how about it?"

Huang He also said: "This is a good idea, you can't stand outside for a long time, princess and horse, be careful of freezing your body!

Everyone returned to the post station and sat down, Pang Xun said: "Now that our righteous army has occupied Luoyang, the imperial court's defense line in Huaisi is like a void, or the Yellow King has a good plan!"

Huang He said with a smile: "These all rely on Huang Wang's wisdom and soldiers' efforts. However, King Huang didn't expect that the imperial court would be so vulnerable, and the Central Plains would be so empty that he would be able to let my army commander drive straight in. ”

An Jingsi said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, you don't know: this is also the imperial court's own doing, the imperial court only knows how to exterminate Shaolin, and even sent heavy troops to besiege Songshan for a long time, how can this Central Plains not be empty?

Xue Atan also said: "Now that the Yellow King has taken Luoyang in one fell swoop, it is really happy! I finally avenge my Shaolin brothers who died!"

An Jingsi asked again: "When King Huang sees us tomorrow, will he let us join the army?"

Huang He smiled and said, "You are all heroes of the world, Huang Wang is still invited?

Zhou Yuanzhi said: "Let's not talk about these happy things first. By the way, Uncle Huang, Xu Zhi and I said goodbye at the beginning, this time we came back to visit our father, do you think his old man will be angry with us?"

Huang He comforted: "The princess and the concubine can rest assured, if the Yellow King can see his daughter and son-in-law return safely, he will not be angry at all!"

Xu Zhi said: "Uncle Huang, Yuan Zhi, in fact, I'm not worried that King Huang will be angry with us, I'm worried that Zhu Wen may not allow us!"

Pang Xun sighed: "The concubine is not unreasonable, Zhu Wen slandered the concubine and Huifeng to kill his second brother, and encouraged the soldiers to refuse to go south and hijack the princess to make trouble! What about his methods? The princess and the concubine go back, how can he give up! The princess and the concubine still have to be extremely careful!"

Huang He persuaded: "At the beginning, Zhu Wen was rampant, one came to rely on his own military exploits, and the other was to rely on Ye Lu Chun's clever tongue; now this attack on the Central Plains, the first merit to win Luoyang is the vanguard of General Shang, he Zhu Wen only has the merit of strategy, forgive him will not come to the Yellow King to fight for merit; second, Ye Lu Chun's defection has become a laughing stock in the army, Zhu Wen because he had a close relationship with Ye Lu Chun before, and he can't escape the involvement, he is much more low-key these days, forgive him will not come to the princess and the horse trouble!"

Zhou Yuanzhi listened to Huang He's analysis and said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, this Zhu Wen is now difficult to protect himself, and he can't afford to make any big waves! Even if he embarrasses us, we don't have to be afraid, everything is decided by our father?"

Zhou Yuanzhi was still silent when she saw Xu Zhi, and persuaded again: "Brother Xu, even if your father treats you badly in a thousand ways, everything is on Yuan Zhi's face, and besides, he is my father after all, how can there be a son-in-law who will never see Lao Taishan?"

Xu Zhi saw Zhou Yuanzhi begging him in front of everyone, and he couldn't bear it, and expressed his willingness to abandon his previous suspicions and meet Huang Wang.

The next day, Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi and others left Xuanyuantai and went all the way to the west to the outskirts of Luoyang. Everyone walked to the Dingding Gate in the south of Luoyang City, and saw that two teams had been neatly lined up in front of the city gate to greet them, the soldiers held flags and musical instruments in their hands, and the palace maids held feather fans and incense burners in their hands. Led by two generals, the one on the left is Shang Rang, who has contributed to the capture of Luoyang, and he is beside the newly appointed Luoyang city defense envoy Zhu Wen.

Shang Rang and Zhu Wen saw Zhou Yuanzhi and others coming slowly, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers who greeted them to raise their trombones, play the "Triumph Order", and dismounted to salute her and Xu Zhi, and Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi also returned the salute. Shang Rang said to Zhou Yuanzhi and Xu Zhi: "When the Yellow King heard that the princess and the concubine had returned safely, he was overjoyed, and he ordered his subordinates and General Zhu to line up at the south gate of Luoyang City to greet him, and the Yellow King is now waiting for the two of them in the Shendu Garden!"

Zhu Wen came to Zhou Yuanzhi and Xu Zhi's side, and pretended to be intimate: "You don't know about the princess and the horse, Huang Wang learned that his beloved daughter and son-in-law will come back tomorrow, and he didn't sleep well in an excited night, so he ordered his subordinates to tidy up the room and arrange a banquet for the two of them!

Shang Rang saw that Xu and Zhou ignored Zhu Wen, and said: "Yes, General Zhu is right! Princess, the Yellow King really took great pains to welcome you, you don't know that this Shendu Garden was originally the imperial garden of the Tang Dynasty, and now it is the ten thousand chrysanthemums in full bloom, competing for beauty, which is very spectacular." King Huang also specially invited a lot of well-educated people to accompany the horse, and he wanted to discuss important matters with the horse!"

Zhou Yuanzhi listened, knowing that her parents loved her, and she was very happy, she smiled like a flower, and squeezed her eyes proudly towards Xu Zhi. Zhu Wen asked Zhou Yuanzhi to change into a phoenix and lead the way in front. Xu Zhi, Shang Rang, Huang He and others followed the princess on a high-headed horse, and a group of honor guards followed behind, blowing and blowing, so lively.

In addition, Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, Pang Xun, An Jingsi, Xue Atan and others, under the guidance of Shang Rang and Zhu Wen, passed through the right gate of the imperial city, crossed Luoshui by boat, and came to the Shendu Garden.

At this time, Huang Chao was dressed as a scholar, wearing silk brocade, holding a copy of "Historical Records" in his hand, and was talking with the literati about how Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, overcame thorns and thorns, did not abandon or be discouraged, and founded the old affairs of the Han Dynasty for three hundred years.

A scholar discussed: "The Yellow King is very similar to the Han Gaozu back then, both have the world in mind, and are kind to all directions, but the Tang court is weak, not as fierce as the violent Qin, but the world is the world of virtuous people, not one generation and one surname." Now that the army of the Yellow King has occupied Gongluo, and the west to take Chang'an is only a matter of ten months, according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, the Yellow King can imitate the promising emperors of the past dynasties, and immediately call the world, then the world's heroes respond, and the emperor's cause can be achieved!"

Another scholar retorted: "The Yellow King must not be honored now, and now although our righteous army occupies Luoyang and opens the passage to the west into Guanzhong, there is Hangu Pass in front of the road, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court in the back. Once the Yellow King is proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the princes of Hebei and Henan, and Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, and there is no natural danger to rely on before and after, so the situation of our righteous army will be dangerous......"

Huang Chao listened to everyone's discussion, hesitated, paced back and forth among the chrysanthemums, and suddenly heard a voice: "Daddy, Zhi'er is back!" Huang Chao hurriedly left the group of scholars and stepped forward to greet him.

Zhou Yuanzhi saluted Huang Chao, and said with tears in her eyes: "Daddy, your unfilial daughter has worried you!" After speaking, he brought Xu Zhi and asked him to meet Huang Chao as well. The heroes also visited Huang Chao in turn.

Huang Chao hurriedly helped Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi with both hands, and also said affectionately: "Zhi'er, Xu Zhi, it's good for you to come back, Daddy and Mom haven't seen you for a few months! Heroes don't have to be formal, please take a seat!"

Huang Chao saw that everyone was seated, picked up the wine glass, and said: "God bless my righteous army, I have been fighting for several years, and now I have won the eastern capital Luoyang in one fell swoop." Today, a banquet will be held in the Shendu Garden, one is to celebrate the victory of our army, to celebrate the generals, the second is to wash the dust for the safe return of the little girl, and the third is to eat wine and appreciate chrysanthemums with all the heroes, and discuss major matters together!"

Everyone stood up one after another, raised the wine glass in their hands, congratulated Huang Chao, drank the wine, and sat down. Huang Chao said again: "This time to open the Central Plains portal, there are two people who have the first merit to capture Luoyang, we respect them first!"

When everyone heard this, they were very puzzled, especially several front-line generals were even more confused, thinking: This brave the sea of swords and fires, the first contribution to the capture of Luoyang should be the pioneer officer Shang Rang, why is there one more person?

Huang Chao saw that everyone was looking at him with confused eyes, and said with a smile: "One is General Shang Rang, who used 10,000 elite soldiers to repel tens of thousands of defenders of the imperial court. He braved the rain of arrows and arrows, took the lead, climbed the tower of Changxia Gate, and opened the south gate of Luoyang, so that our army successfully captured Luoyang City! The second person who made the first contribution was Xu Zhi, who was originally the old man's beloved son-in-law, but the ancients had clouds, and he did not avoid relatives in his internal moves, and the old man should praise him for his immortal achievements for our righteous army today!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Huang Chao intently and listened to his explanation. Huang Chao continued: "Everyone doesn't know: the old man listened to the slanderous rumors of Ye Luchun, a dog thief, and almost killed his beloved son-in-law! After Xu Zhi and Zhi'er met in Yangzhou, they went north to Shaolin to investigate the deployment of the official army in the Central Plains for our righteous army, and they asked Huang He to return to the south of the Yangtze River to send a letter to the old man, so that the old man could lead the army north to the Central Plains as soon as possible and rescue Shaolin! According to the information they provided, the old man avoided the truth and avoided the false, bypassed the heavy troops set up by the imperial court in Huaisi, and learned from Chen, Cai Jian marched into the army, and our army learned that the main force of the imperial court Luoyang was besieging the Shaolin Temple, so he simply attacked the Dengfeng camp of the imperial court and took Luoyang directly. So today we took Luoyang, and we can't forget Xu Zhi's credit!"

When everyone heard this, they all raised the wine glasses in their hands to celebrate Shang Rang and Xu Zhi, and Monk Xu Zhi couldn't refuse, so they had to drink them one by one. Zhou Yuanzhi listened to Huang Chao's words, as comfortable as eating a piece of ice on a June day, nodded to his father again and again to express his gratitude, turned his head and looked at Xu Zhi with a happy face, and persuaded him to drink less.

Zhu Wen, who was sitting between Shang Rang and Xu Zhi, saw that the generals, staff, and literati frequently toasted Shang Rang and Xu Zhi, and put him aside, he was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of everyone, so he had to stand up and congratulate Xu and Shang.

Huang Chao then saluted An Jingsi, Xue Atan, Liyin, Zhiran and other Shaolin heroes with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "My righteous army is willing to accept the heroes and heroes of the world and raise great things together.

Zhou Yuanzhi listened to it and thought: Father is going to make Brother Xu a general, she hurriedly pushed Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi drank a little too much, and said modestly: "Xu Zhi is not talented, I am afraid that I will live up to the high hopes of King Huang!"

Huang Chao said with a smile: "Xu Zhi doesn't have to shirk, the old man will let you carry a bigger burden in the future!", everyone looked at Xu Zhi with envy when they heard this, only Zhu Wen was sullen and drank alone.

Huang Chao gradually drank too much, and he didn't choose to speak: "I think when Huang was 5 years old, my father and grandfather used chrysanthemums as the theme of the couplet. My grandfather meditated hard and couldn't continue. I replied casually:

can be the head of a hundred flowers,

Nature's angelistic yellow clothes.

When my father heard this, he was astonished and wanted to teach me a lesson. Grandfather hurriedly said: "My grandson can write poems, but I don't know how important it is, so I can ask him to write another one." I have re-created a "Yongdai Poem", and I will ask you for advice today!"

The sassy west wind is planted in the courtyard,

It is difficult to come to the cold butterfly.

If I am the Green Emperor in his year,

The newspaper and the peach blossoms bloom together.

Huang Chao listened to everyone's praise, simply put down the wine glass, took out a three-foot sword from the guard's waist, danced in the chrysanthemum bush, and sighed: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the guests, the old man has gone to Beijing several times to participate in the imperial examination, but he is not the first, and he passed through Luoyang in poverty, and saw the chrysanthemums in full bloom in this imperial garden, singing and dancing, so he made another "Yongdai poem":

Stay until autumn comes on September 8,

After my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers are killed.

The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an,

The city is full of golden armor.

When everyone heard this, they sighed, and some of them even praised: "The two "Yongju Poems" of King Huang contain the spirit of the king, which is in line with today's honor!"
