After Ji Xuan killed Duan Wende, the prefect of Qingzhou, and Lord Su, the head of the household department, he notified all the prefectures and counties affected by the disaster, and at the same time warned all officials in the three states that as long as they had been greedy for ink before, as long as they reformed themselves and handed over the stolen money for disaster relief, they could not be blamed for the past.

After learning of this notice, most of the officials in these three states consciously handed over the stolen money and made every effort to provide disaster relief. But there are still a few people who are lucky and unforgivable by Ji Xuan and are found and killed.

After these events, there was a lot of peace in these three states. The people are happily busy, and the officials are fulfilling their duties and doing their best to solve all difficulties for the people.

After Wei Chen received Ji Xuan's news in Hengzhou, he immediately arranged the affairs of Hengzhou, and then left Zheng Tai to supervise, and he and Guo Dongming returned to Ji Xuan's side.

And since living in the Ding'an Army camp, Ji Xuan has never been assassinated again. On weekdays, Ji Xuan handles affairs in the barracks, and when he needs to go out, Chen Qi, Ding Muxi and Xue Chen are accompanied by guards to protect him.

Ji Xuan felt the need to let Master know the news of the Tianyi Sect, and on the second day after Xue Chen and Guo Dongming arrived, he asked Guo Dongming to go back to the mountain to deliver the news to Master.

For the sake of safety when returning to Beijing, when Xue Chen arrived, he sent people to return to the capital for help in an expedited manner of eight hundred miles, but there was no news back.

"It's time for these uncles in the military department to be rectified. Xue Chen couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that he was going to leave for Beijing tomorrow and the news hadn't come back yet.

Because Ji Xuan insisted on leaving tomorrow, everyone sat in Tang Bin's big tent at this time to discuss the matter of returning to Beijing.

Ji Xuan said: "There are too many places that need to be rectified, but most of the officials in the DPRK and China still have the ability, but the atmosphere is like this." These three states, for example, are completely different now than they were when we came. ”

Chen Qi said: "After returning to Beijing, Brother Wei can also use this method to kill Liwei with some people who have committed the most heinous crimes. ”

Xue Chen shook his head and said, "There are many factions in the capital, and with His Highness's current power, it is not enough to move whoever he wants. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Since I have decided to fight, there is no way back, no matter how difficult it is, I have to do it." Moreover, there are always more solutions than difficulties. ”

Xue Chen said: "This is not in a hurry, let's not talk about it for the time being." Let's talk about how to return to the capital safely. ”

Zheng Taidao, who had just arrived here, said: "We can divide the troops into two ways, Your Highness will disguise yourself, and have Chen Gongzi and Miss Ding accompany you all the way." General Xue and I led the guards to the official road with great fanfare to attract the enemy. ”

Ji Xuan shook his head and said, "Lord Zheng's plan is not feasible. If you attract the enemy, you will be attacked, and with the lessons of the previous times, if they attack this time, they will be more fierce than the previous ones, and you will not be able to resist them at all. ”

Zheng Tai said: "As long as His Highness can return to Beijing safely, it is not a pity for us to die." ”

Ji Xuan shook his head again and said, "Don't say that I won't agree with you doing this. Even if I agreed, you think that by sacrificing your life you would buy my safety? They attacked you and found that I was not there, and they would have continued to search for my whereabouts. With the strength they have shown before, I'm afraid it won't be difficult to find me. Also, I think they should be watching our every move at all times. ”

Tang Bin said: "It's really not good, the last general will escort His Highness with the Ding'an Army." ”

Ji Xuan said: "This is even worse, if you send troops privately, you can't bear the blame, and it will affect many generals." I can't watch you die because of me. ”

Xue Chen said: "It's still my previous opinion, let's not rush back to Beijing first, just wait here, I believe that the military department will not be indifferent when it receives the secret letter from His Highness." ”

Ji Xuan said: "I think the people who sent it out should have suffered an accident. ”

Xue Chen said: "I sent it in the name of sending an official document from Qingzhou Mansion, so it shouldn't be eye-catching." ”

Ji Xuan said: "I'm here, anything will be eye-catching." As I said earlier, they must be spying on our every move. ”

Chen Qi said: "It would be good if Uncle Meng was here, he should be able to find some gangs to help." ”

Zheng Tai said: "Chen Gongzi reminded me that Xixia Temple is on the Chuanyun Mountain at the junction of Qingzhou and Yuezhou, and we passed there when we came to Qingzhou from Yuezhou. We can go to Xixia Temple for help. ”

Xue Chen said: "This is okay, if the masters of Xixia Temple can help, there will be no worries about safety." I just don't know if they're willing to help. ”

Ding Muxi said: "With what Brother Wei did, I think the masters should be able to help." ”

Chen Qi said: "Xi Mei is right, I believe the masters will agree." ”

Xue Chen smiled: "If they don't agree, we will stay there and not leave." ”

Ji Xuan said: "In this case, we will set off tomorrow and go to Xixia Temple to ask for help first, as long as we get there, there is hope for success." ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Early the next morning, everyone said goodbye to Tang Bin and walked in the direction of Chuanyun Mountain. Rushing all the way, you rushed to the foot of Chuanyun Mountain.

The guard officer and Zheng Tai led the guards to camp at the foot of the mountain, and Chen Qi, Ding Muxi, Ji Xuan, and Xue Chen went up the mountain to Xixia Temple together.

"What a towering and steep cloud mountain, it really deserves to be a holy place for Buddhism. Xue Chen sighed.

Ding Muxi said: "Although this place is good, it is still a little worse than our Tianwen Mountain." ”

Ji Xuan smiled: "Miss Ding, just forgive a person who has never seen the world." ”

Xue Chen pursed his lips, acting like he didn't look like a general commanding thousands of troops at all, then sighed and said, "Your Highness can talk and joke with me like this at this time, I hope you can do it in the future." ”

Ji Xuan said: "You and I are accompanied by life and death, like brothers, I Ji Xuan will live up to you in this life." ”

When Xue Chen heard this, his eyes were slightly wet, and he sighed: "With His Highness's words, Xue will die without regrets!"

Ding Muxi smiled: "You two make people feel so numb!"

Ji Xuan smiled: "Since Miss Ding doesn't want to hear it, then we won't talk about it." However, since Ji Xuan has thanked Xue Chen, he also has to thank Brother Chen and Miss Ding, it is a blessing in my life to meet you. ”

"Oops! it's so cold!" Ding Muxi said, clasping his hands in front of his chest, his body tightened, and he suddenly trembled.

Her reaction immediately made Chen Qi and the others laugh.

Chen Qi stopped laughing and said to Ji Xuan: "It is also our luck to meet Brother Wei. ”

Ding Muxi pouted, frowned, and said to Chen Qi: "Brother Qi, why have you become so numb?"

Chen Qi smiled: "This is the only time, not an example!"

Ji Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Chen loves Miss Ding so much, be careful that Miss Ding will be spoiled." ”

Ding Muxi said: "I am who I am, and I will never become bad." ”

The three of them laughed again......

The four of them talked and laughed all the way, and before they knew it, they came to Xixia Temple.

The temple gate of Xixia Temple is very ordinary, just like the mountain gate of ordinary temples.

Just as the four of them were looking at each other, a voice came from behind them, "What are you doing here at Xixia Temple?"

The voice...... Xiao Fan!"

Chen Qizheng felt strange, how could this voice be the same as Meng Xiaofan's voice, when he looked back, it was really Meng Xiaofan.

"Chen Qi!Senior Sister Ding!"

Meng Xiaofan saw that it was Chen Qi and Ding Muxi who turned around, and ran over excitedly.

Meng Xiaofan has been supervised by Master Kurong these days, and he feels very painful. But what's even more painful is that I eat a vegetarian diet every day, and I don't see any meat. After today's practice, he found a reason to leave the monastery and go to the mountains to find wild game to satisfy his cravings.

After working hard for a long time, I finally caught a pheasant and ate it. After eating, he wandered around for a while, and then decided to go back to the temple, not wanting to meet Chen Qi and them in front of the temple gate.

"Why are you here?"

"How did you get here?"

Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan asked almost at the same time.

"You say it first?"

"You say it first?"

The two said at the same time.

The two of them did this, causing everyone to laugh.

Meng Xiaofan recognized Ji Xuan and Xue Chen, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and Ji Xuan and Xue Chen returned the salute.

Ding Muxi waited for him to meet Ji Xuan and Xue Chen, and said, "Senior Brother Xiaofan, you first tell me how you came here, Uncle Meng?" ”

Meng Xiaofan looked at Ding Muxi and said with a smile: "Okay, listen to Senior Sister Ding, I'll say it first." ”

Meng Xiaofan immediately briefly told him what happened after he and Meng Bufan left Xingyun Temple.

Chen Qi waited for him to finish speaking, and was about to speak, when Ding Muxi said, "Take us to see Uncle Meng." ”

Meng Xiaofan said a little confused: "Isn't it time for you to tell me how you came here?"

Ding Muxi said: "I'll talk about it after I see Uncle Meng, I'll tell you now, and I'll say it again when I see Uncle Meng later." ”

"Okay. Meng Xiaofan said reluctantly. Then he took a few people into the temple to see Meng Bufan.
