In the early morning, the atmosphere of the Juxiang Inn was slightly different from yesterday, because there were a few more Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes and a group of young nuns in the inn, and it looked extremely serious.

In the corner of the inn, a young man dressed in Tsing Yi was still holding a wine jug, the young man's skin was slightly dark, his long hair was a little messy, and his melon seed face, with a hint of drunkenness, squinted, quietly staring at a middle-aged old Taoist priest led by him, which seemed to have a bit of a familiar feeling. This young man in Tsing Yi is the one who did not forget yesterday.

Suddenly, I heard a sentence, "Childe, we meet again", it turned out that the young man with the green fan and the white scholar next to him walked in again.

Du did not forget to nod at them in return.

I didn't forget to see at this time that the young man of the Cui Fan was also a handsome and fair-skinned boy, a typical rich boy, who felt younger than himself when he looked at his age, but his expression and temperament were by no means comparable to himself, and he also showed an unusual momentum when he walked.

The scholar next to him occasionally peeked at Du Buyi, who was holding a wine jug on the side, but in fact, Du Buyi was in his eyes.

After the two men finished speaking, they walked straight to the side where the Taoist priest was.

I only heard the young man of Cui Fan bow deeply to the middle-aged old Taoist priest, and said with surprise:

"A few days ago, I heard that the Taoist chief would pass through here and go to Wudang Mountain in the northwest to participate in the fasting ceremony, so I have been waiting here for a long time, and I hope that the Taoist chief will forgive me."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the son is so polite, and the poor road is ashamed." The middle-aged Taoist nodded and replied.

At this time, I found that the middle-aged Taoist appearance was marked, and his appearance was handsome, so I thought that he must have been a beautiful man in the city when he was young. Although it is a Tao, it exudes a scholarly atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged Taoist chief glanced at the young man of Cui Fan, his expression was slightly shocked, and then he said: "I think that the young man is rich and powerful, and his temperament is very human. ”

The young man of Cui Fan was full of surprise, and then said: "Dao Chief, I have admired the Tao since I was a child, and I have admired the Tao and the learning of the Taoist for a long time.

"If the son does not give up, the poor road is willing to explain one or two in detail." After the middle-aged Taoist chief finished speaking, he then said to several Taoist priests around him:

"Disciples, go upstairs to talk to this son for the teacher, and wait for me for a moment. ”

Several Taoist priests next to him nodded respectfully. Then the middle-aged Taoist went upstairs with the young man of the green fan and his white scholar.

As the Taoist and Cui Fan Gongzi finished going upstairs, after a while, five young men came into the inn, one of them was dressed as a military general, just over middle age, and the half of the arms exposed under the shoulders were muscular, and it was obvious that he was a practitioner.

Although the others are inconspicuous, they are all brocade clothes and guards that ordinary people can't avoid.

After they came in, they sat directly at the table where Du Buyi was drinking. Du did not forget to ignore them, and drank his own wine.

The military general led by shouted: "Xiao Er brought all the good wine and food you have here, and the master has traveled a lot, and his stomach is grumbling with hunger."

Yesterday, the little two took two pots of chrysanthemum wine with a smile on his face, ran over and put them on the table and said:

"A few officials, our chrysanthemum wine is famous nearby, this is the only one, there is no other branch, you are really in the right place today, I don't know what taste a few officials like." ”

The head of the military general said:

"Five catties of beef jerky, five pig's trotters, five roast chickens, can there be? And your wine pot is too small, not enough to stuff your teeth, just bring me five jars of big one, go quickly, uncle, I'm in a hurry." ”

Xiao Er said:

"Okay, I'll be there soon," he said.

The leader of the military general suddenly remembered something, and immediately beckoned to Xiao Er and said:

"You come back, come back, this official has something to ask you!"

"I don't know what else the official has to tell the little one." Xiao Er walked back:

The military general pulled Xiao Er over and asked in his ear, "Have you seen a middle-aged Taoist come to this shop recently?"

Xiao Er replied: "There are a lot of middle-aged Taoists passing by, I don't know what the middle-aged Taoist you want to find looks like?"

"I have a portrait of that from years ago." As he spoke, the military general took out a sketch portrait of an official from his bosom and spread it out on the table.

Du Yiyi, who was drinking at the other end of the table, looked at the portrait at this time and was surprised:

"Isn't this painting the Taoist chief just now, but the official uniform has become a Taoist uniform, and it is a little older."

I almost said it.

Xiao Er looked at the portrait and seemed to know who it was, hesitated for a while, and asked:

"Official, which official is this portrait of yours?"

The leader of the military generals said:

"This is our governor's old man, our governor hasn't seen this old friend for a long time, and he misses him very much, so let us subordinates help to contact us, and if anyone can provide clues, there will be a bounty of five thousand taels of silver. ”

Xiao Er smiled in his heart and was about to speak. As a result, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and it turned out that Du Yi, who was on the side, drank and vomited, and he couldn't control it, and he sprayed Xiao Er's face.

Of course, this was deliberate, because he felt that the Taoist chief was a kind old man at first glance, and he was a little familiar and intimate with him, and these officials must have bad intentions when they came to him with the portrait of the Taoist chief.

Xiao Er was about to get angry, but Du Bu didn't forget to stand up immediately, wiped the residual wine that Xiao Er had just squirted with his sleeve, and kept apologizing to Xiao Er. Du did not forget to take the opportunity to apologize and quietly pulled Xiao Er over, and whispered in his ear:

"These people have bad intentions, if you are my friend, you will not harm the Taoist chief, and I can give you a lot of the bounty he said. ”

Xiao Er immediately reacted and said to the military commander who was the leader: "Official, the person in your painting has never been to our store, I was scared by the bounty you said just now, and the little one has never seen so much silver." ”

Xiao Er then pointed at Du Bu and said: "This kid is a drunkard who is dying in our shop, and he has affected several officials Yaxing, so I will drive him out."

After speaking, he pulled Du Buyi to the outside of the store, Du Buyi also pretended to be drunk, and followed him to the door of the store.

The generals at the head didn't seem to want to provoke too much trouble, so they began to drink and wait for the food to be served.

Xiao Er pulled Du out of the store, scolded him angrily, and hurried back to the store to prepare wine and food.

At this time, in the elegant room on the second floor of the inn, a middle-aged old Taoist was sitting around a table with a noble son with a green fan in one hand, and the white scholar next to him seemed to be a naughty ghost at the moment, and he had been amused by the middle-aged old Tao, and it could be seen that Lao Dao also loved her very much.

"I originally heard that the royal Taoist is famous all over the world, and he is my Ming hero, so I heard that the Taoist is going to pass near our Xingwang Mansion, and this king specially came to visit the Taoist chief. ”

Then he continued:

"I just heard what the Taoist chief said downstairs, I know that the long vision is very human, maybe I know the identity of this king, and Xiao Wang doesn't need to hide it, in Xia Nai Xing Wang The second son Zhu Houxi, next to this is the third county lord of my family, I like to dress up as a man, the same age as me, I like to mess around, and I hope the Taoist will forgive me. ”

Cui Fan's words broke the frolic between the two.

"It's okay, it's okay, in fact, when Poor Dao was an official, he had a very good personal relationship with your late father Xingwang, so when I saw the prince, I felt familiar and cordial, and his appearance was similar to that of Xing Wangye, and the little prince's temperament was very different from ordinary people, so I knew the identity of the little prince.

"Wang Daochang, you are the old friend of the first king, and you are a generation of saints, and the little king is the descendant, so you should be like this." Zhu Houxi said.

The two of them exchanged polite words.

"Poor road night stargazing, purple micro star seems to have a southward tilt, when today's son and favor the rebellion, the dynasty is dim, absurd, the body is getting more and more profitable, I am afraid that time is running out, but it is a pity that the great cause of the first emperor Xiaozong Dynasty has been destroyed to the end. ”

Wang Daochang broke the polite atmosphere with a few words.

Wang Daochang then said:

"When today's son is the only son of Emperor Xiaozong of the previous dynasty, and there is no child behind him, if the eldest and youngest relatives are close to the little prince, I don't know what the little prince thinks about this?"

"The world, is my surname Zhu in the world, the people, is the foundation of the world, although the royal brother is absurd, but not a faint tyrant, think my imperial brother punished Liu Jin back then, how heroic and martial arts the northern slave was, quite the legacy of the ancestors to become the emperor, although the imperial brother was unwell for a while, but I believe that it will get better in the future, and reproduce the courage of the year. If something really happens to my imperial brother, Xiao Wang should also respect my brother Yiwang Houye!"

After speaking, Zhu Houxi hurriedly added:

"Xiao Wang is not talented, there is a shortage of famous teachers in the family, if the king does not give up, can he enter my palace and enjoy wealth forever like Jiang Taigong?"

The Taoist replied with a wry smile:

"How dare the poor road compare with the prince Lu Wang, wealth is the destiny of heaven, there are many children outside the poor road, and the people who are not enough still need to be taught, I am afraid that there will be no blessing to be blessed by the little prince, if the little prince needs it in the future, the poor road will come."

Before I knew it, it was afternoon, and I suddenly heard the sound of a group of horses' hooves outside the inn.

At this time, Du Bucheng, who was kicked out of the door by Xiao Er, ran up to the second floor.

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two in the room, and when the little scholar opened the door, he saw that it was actually the young man she admired very much downstairs, so she made a grimace at him.

Du didn't forget that he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at all, and ran to the Taoist chief in a hurry:

"Dao Chief, you are in danger, there are a lot of people looking for you outside, I see that they have some ill intentions, it seems that they are still martial arts masters, I know that you are a good person, you should flee first, several of your disciples I have notified them in advance to leave, if you don't escape, there will be no chance later." “

The Taoist chief and the little prince came to the window, looked down, and sure enough, there were many brocade guards on horseback who rushed here.

At this time, he had already tied a rope with the bed sheet in the room and hung it down to the back window of the inn.

Because Du did not forget the timely notification, Daoist Wang Yangming naturally escaped this catastrophe.

A group of people who came to arrest searched for a long time and didn't see anyone, but they beat the shopkeeper badly before they were relieved and left.

It turned out that the shopkeeper secretly told the officials downstairs for the bounty, and the officials thought that if they gathered all the people, they could be negligent and capture Wang Yangming alive, but they miscalculated, and they could only take all their anger out of Xiao Er, which was also deserved.
