Chapter 228: A View of the Heavens
Ansula knew that it was impossible to take back her words, so she could only cover up and say: "The cruelty of Zhao Lun, the emperor of the country of Luotuo, is known to the world, and who has no account in his heart
Xu Dong was not perfunctory because of her cover-up, he thought to himself that there must be an inside line of the Great Yue Kingdom in the Luotuo Palace, and he was always monitoring the situation in the Chunyang Palace
He remembered that when he was conquering the Fuxing Army, he had planted the ground crossbow before the army had even entered the desert, causing them to lose so many soldiers and horses, and this information was definitely transmitted from the Pure Yang Palace
Xu Dong later, after repeated thinking, he determined that the real King of Dayue was lurking in the National Teacher's Mansion and locked him as the Great Master Ma Wu
In the Ratuo Palace, Ma Wu, the great master, and Xiong Pi, the second national teacher, were great rivals, and Ansura tried to practice the "Shacheng Order" first to get rid of Xiong Pi, which actually cleared the way for Ma Wu to revive the Great Yue Kingdom
Xu Dong looked at Ma Wu's back, thinking about the days he spent with his daughter Ansula, and his heart fluctuated for a while, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time
He couldn't imagine how a person who was supposed to be the king of Dayue used to gain the trust of Zhao Lun, the king of Luotuo, and actually became the great teacher of Luotuo
When Uncle Long heard his heart, he said, "This person is a very forbearant person, it was he who killed his father with his own hands when the Great Yue Kingdom was destroyed, and dedicated his father's skull to the king of Ratuo as a drinking vessel."
Xu Dong was taken aback: "The skull was dedicated to the king of Luotuo to make a drinking vessel, didn't Ansula say that it was the skull of the stand-in?"
Uncle Long said: "Don't listen to that girl, she is talking nonsense, you didn't notice that you have made a mistake in the generations, Ansula's grandfather is the king of the Great Yue Lost Country."
After Uncle Long's reminder, Xu Dong's mind turned around, and Uncle Long cleared the mess for him, and then solved the next doubt for him
"And don't worry, Zhao Lun knows better than anyone who Ma Wu is, the reason why he knows Ma Wu's true identity and doesn't break him is because he thinks it's better to use him than kill him."
Xu Dong was taken aback again: "How is this possible, Zhao Lun is so confused that he keeps the most dangerous enemy by his side, isn't this raising a man-eating tiger at home?"
"This is Zhao Lun's character, in fact, Zhao Lun didn't take much risk when he did this, because he can read minds, can always read the hearts of the people around him, and once there is danger, he can avoid it in time."
"Oh yes"
Xu Dong shuddered in his heart, it turned out that the Pure Yang Palace seemed to be unfazed, but in fact it was the Longtan Tiger's Den, and it was impossible for ordinary people to wade into such deep water
"Seventeen Ma Yezhong, when the military camp arrives, I won't go to the camp," Ma Wu's words made him come back to his senses from his contemplation, "We said okay, don't reveal what you know."
"Uh-huh, okay"
In fact, the reason why Xu Dong pointed through Ma Wu was just to take the opportunity to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so that he knew that he was holding his weakness in his hands, and asked him not to talk nonsense
After he broke up with Ma Wu, he walked into the Chinese military camp, where Chen Kun and Fang Lei, the two deputy battalion commanders, Dan Kezhen, the director of the Chinese military camp, and Pei Dazhi, the director of the partial military camp, were all discussing with them about exorcising evil spirits
"Mr. Xu Ying is back"
Everyone got up together to greet him, Chen Kun hurriedly reported to him that the evil spirit invaded the barracks and devoured seven hundred and thirty soldiers, Xu Dong nodded when he heard it, and said that he would immediately find a way to contain this evil spirit
............
Xu Dong searched for Tianyi Temple in the sea of knowledge, this Taoist temple is in the westernmost county of the country of Luotuo, and when he arrived here with his magic technique, it was already close to dusk
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the sky looks golden and splendid, and the glazed tiles on the hall reflect a piece of golden light, which makes people look particularly dazzling
The mountain gate was half hidden, he pushed open the mountain gate and walked into the Taoist temple, only to feel that it was particularly clean and quiet, if it weren't for the strong sandalwood fragrance in his nose, he would even think that this was a small courtyard of an ordinary family
"Is there anyone?"
"Where is the Lord?"
He called twice in succession, and when there was no answer, he slowly walked inside, walked through the patio, and then passed a cloister, where were several neatly arranged prayer rooms
He had just walked a few steps when he heard the "creak" of the mountain gate behind him, and when he looked back, a blue-eyed liger beast had broken through the door, and a child who looked to be less than three years old was following behind the liger
Xu Dong stared at this little boy in a daze, this baby was about three feet tall, wearing a pair of linen bib pants, shirtless, and only rubbing a red belly around his waist
The little boy was holding the rope of the liger in his hand, and was stunned by the liger beast, but he never let go of the rope, showing a stubbornness that seemed to be in his nature
"Xiaohu, you walk slowly, wait for me"
Behind the boy came another voice, hoarse and dull, like a cry from the mouth of a jackdaw from an old tree, and an old nun in a gray robe walked into the mountain gate
The old nun looked to be over sixty years old, very short, with a bamboo basket in one hand and a bamboo stick in the other, and knocked twice on the stone floor from time to time, because the old nun was blind
Looking at the shabby appearance of this old nun, there is a ** who has just returned from begging outside, and there are two bowls of wild vegetable paste and a few coarse grain steamed buns in the bamboo basket, Xu Dong can't help but have a sour nose when he sees it
Turning his eyes back from the old nun again, he saw that this Taoist courtyard must have been a place of incense in the past, but for some reason, it suddenly became deserted, and the believers in the Taoist courtyard reached the point of living by begging
Little Tiger
Xu Dong looked at the child again, and took a closer look at the baby's face, and the delicate and tender facial features looked very similar to Guo Ying, thinking that this child might be Guo Hu, and unconsciously, a sense of intimacy arose
"You are Guo Hu"
When the boy got closer to him, Xu Dong squatted down and talked to him
The child shook his head and shouted at the old nun in the back, "Master, someone is looking for you."
"Xiaohu, this is your father, call your father"
Xu Dong was stunned for a moment, this old nun was a blind man, and he had never seen him before, why did he conclude that he was someone from this little boy when he hadn't introduced himself, besides, recognizing his father was a very serious matter, how could he recognize a father in a daze
"Aunt Dao, ...... you"
"Don't say it, I pinched you last night, you are coming today, and I also calculated when you will arrive, otherwise why should I take Xiaohu back to the Taoist Temple from a hundred miles away"
Xu Dong was stunned again, and he said in his heart: "It turns out that Aunt Dao can pinch it, no wonder it can be calculated...... Why come back from a hundred miles away, you have to go so far to eat"
