Chapter 488: Waterways
"I've seen the master. Li Xiuyuan had a slight difference, and then gave a salute.
The green plum next to her also saluted, and said in a pleasant voice: "Dao Chang'an is good." ”
The blind man's eyes were bright and black at the moment, like a baby's eyes, without a trace of impurities, and he asked again: "Do you want to go north to Beijing?"
"Yes, master, Yangzhou has been pacified, and now the apprentices have to go to Beijing to report on their work. Li Xiuyuan replied.
The blind man muttered for a moment: "If you go north to Beijing, according to the itinerary, it will take at least a month to advance by water, and if you slow down some speed, it will not be a problem to delay until ninety days." ”
"What does the master mean?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
He felt that this time the master personally visited the door must be something important.
Otherwise, with the character of his master, he must not hide as far as he can, for fear of trouble, and for fear of being contaminated with cause and effect.
In the end, in a word, it is timid and afraid.
"Take the time to go to the master gate in the past ninety days, your power has become stronger and stronger after you get the divine power, you need to teach and guide, otherwise you will suffer a lot if you enter the capital like this." "Blind and humane.
"What does the master mean to go back to the master to learn the Tao for ninety days?" Li Xiuyuan said in surprise.
"Yes, of course you can not go, the teacher just suggests this. The blind man said.
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said: "Since the master has spoken, then how can I not go, slowing down on the road will not affect anything, and it is a waste of time to hurry, it is also the best to take advantage of this time to go back to the master's door." ”
He understands his current shortcomings.
After the Immortal Slashing Sword collapsed, relying on the divine power and the ghosts and gods of the Quartet under his command, it was not a problem for the thousand-year-old demon to suppress the demons, but he had to thoroughly understand, understand, and master the power of the divine power.
Otherwise, if you encounter danger, you will not have a means to deal with it.
"If you want to go back to the master, you can release this paper crane, it will guide you back to the master. ”
Suddenly, the blind man took out a paper crane folded into yellow paper from his robe, and the paper crane snorted in his hand, flashing its wings with a puff, and then twisted his head to look at Li Xiuyuan, and flew over.
However, as soon as he got close to Li Xiuyuan, he suddenly fell from mid-air.
This is a failure of the Dao technique.
Li Xiuyuan's sage breath is still there, and the spell is useless within three battles, but if you release this paper crane out of three zhang, it can fly again.
"Isn't the master going back to the master?" he asked, taking the paper crane.
The blind man said: "What do you do for the teacher to go back, there is nothing for the teacher, after you arrive at the mountain gate, someone will pick you up, everything is worry-free, by the way, if you are free, pick a few peaches for the teacher and come back, for the teacher has not eaten the wild peaches on the mountain for a long time." ”
"It's a trivial matter, and when the apprentice comes back, he'll bring a little bit of mountain goods. Li Xiuyuan nodded.
"That's good, go back to Guo Beicheng for the teacher. When the blind man had finished speaking, he turned and left.
As he took a few steps, the courtyard wall in front of him cracked, and he soon disappeared in front of him.
"It's easy to go. ”
The green plum next to her gave a salute and saw the Taoist leave, and after the Taoist left, she said with some reluctance: "The husband is going to the mountains to cultivate, although he only goes for ninety days, but after all, he is cultivating in the mountains, it is better to bring someone to call, and there is someone to take care of his life." ”
"How can you bring a female dependents in the land of Qing Xiu, you and Qing'e are staying in Jinling City, it won't take long to report to Beijing, and you will come back in half a year at most. Li Xiu said from afar.
"Yes, husband. Qingmei responded obediently, and she didn't insist.
Following.
Li Xiuyuan only brought two people to Beijing and was led by Han Meng.
In addition, he also brought Wu Xiang, Mao Wu and several other guards with him to ensure his safety.
As for Li Jiajun, he temporarily handed it over to Xing Shan to take care of, and he had to stay in the army, train archers, and teach cavalry kung fu in riding and archery, so he couldn't leave.
Of course, there were also Fu Tianqiu and Qingfeng Yuechi, as well as Zuo Qianhu, who was in charge of escorting them.
This is Zuo Qianhu's duty, although he has assisted in defending the city for many days, but now that the turmoil has subsided, he still needs to perform his duties and escort Fu Tianqiu into Beijing.
"Father, with Li Gongzi here, why do you have to put on shackles, sit in the prison, and be escorted to Beijing? Father, let's get out of the prison, let's ride a horse, isn't it better?" On the way, Fu Qingfeng looked at Fu Tianqiu, who was in the prison with shackles, and asked with concern.
Although Fu Tianqiu was embarrassed at the moment, his face was very good, and he was full of anger, and he said stubbornly: "No need, being a father is a criminal minister, and His Majesty's will is to escort his father into Beijing. ”
"Miss Qingfeng, you don't need to persuade me, I see that Master Fu is quite comfortable sitting in the prison, there is a carriage pulling the cage to hurry, and he won't be tired. Li Xiuyuan said.
Fu Tianqiu glared at Li Xiuyuan: "Don't be tired, why don't you try?"
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, "How can this be done, I am now the assassin of Yangzhou, and I have to be shackled to get the emperor's holy decree, and I am not blessed to endure the prison of Master Fu." ”
Fu Tianqiu immediately blew his beard angrily and glared, but he was uncomfortable and couldn't find the words to refute.
Who would have thought that when he came to Yangzhou, he was still the minister of disaster relief, and this Li Xiuyuan was only a showman, but in just a few months, he became a prisoner, and Li Xiuyuan sat in the position of Yangzhou assassin.
It's just incredible.
How can he be promoted quickly, if he hadn't seen the holy decree come down with his own eyes, he would have thought that Li Xiuyuan had forged the holy decree and falsely claimed to assassinate history, so as to take this opportunity to occupy Yangzhou.
"Lord Li, I don't understand, this road doesn't seem to be the way to Beijing. At this time, Zuo Qianhu chased after him from behind on horseback and hugged his fists.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's tiring to walk, let's go to Yangzhou and go north by boat." ”
"I see, I understand. Zuo Qianhu nodded, and then rode away again, telling his subordinates to take a boat to the north.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Zuo Qianhu, and wondered in his heart: "Zuo Qianhu is loyal to any adult, and he won't think about which adult's order is right and which adult's order is wrong, but this is good, such a character can survive in the capital." ”
If there is no scheming, there is no threat, so no one will harm Zuo Qianhu, and his martial arts are very strong and useful to anyone.
Half a day later, Li Xiuyuan and his party came to Yangzhou, where several ships were already waiting.
It was he who arranged it in advance.
"Childe, the ship is ready to go. At the ferry, a child about 12 years old stood and said.
This is the king of the Yangtze River.
Li Xiuyuan walked over and said in a suppressed voice: "This time I went north by boat, I am not on the boat, you are responsible for the safety of the whole way, there are many spirits in the water, it all depends on your thousand-year-old demon to suppress it, but I will also leave three thunder god orders, I believe it is enough to protect the safety of the road, if you encounter a strong enemy, you will be wrapped in the boat and run away."
The journey north can be delayed, but there must be no casualties. ”
"Childe, don't worry, I understand. King Yangtze Jiang nodded.
"What about the Eight Kings?" Li Xiuyuan said again.
The king of the Yangtze River pointed to the underwater, and a giant turtle vaguely appeared.
"Very good, I will be a little relieved to have the Eight Kings with me. ”
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, no matter what, the eight kings have at least six hundred years of Taoism, and they have been worshiped with incense, and now they are not much worse than the Yangtze River King, and they are also at the level of a thousand-year-old demon.
If such a force is still attacked, then it will not be as simple as an ordinary water monster.
