Chapter Fifty-Eight: Blood-boiling
Xiao Han was just about to talk to Jingxin when he saw an old nun stop in front of him, and he didn't need to look at her to know that she was Jingxin's master, Master Hui'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This old thief nun had a serious face, covered his meditation behind him, and recited the Buddha's name: "Congratulations to the head of Xiao for establishing the Wudang faction, the old nun did not go to congratulate him, and I hope that the head of Xiao will not blame." ”
She was the head of Xiao one by one, which seemed very raw, and it also made Xiao Han listen awkwardly, knowing that she was deliberately dissociating herself from their relationship. Xiao Han sneered, and gave a salute: "At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, and the establishment of the Wudang faction by the head of this sect is also a welcome to the new year, but I want to thank the master for his congratulations." Without waiting for Hui An to reply, he followed: "Can I say a few words to your disciple?"
Hui'an's old face froze, his anger gradually rose, and he snorted: "The apprentice is still young and is cultivating, so he can't be confused by foreign objects, and I ask Master Xiao to forgive me." Then he turned his head and reprimanded: "Don't you want to go back?" Jingxin didn't dare to resist, lowered his head, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Han, his eyes were full of grievances, and he stomped his feet lightly and returned to the nunnery.
Xiao Han is now in turmoil, and he has no intention of worrying about Hui'an. He hated this old nun more and more now, looking at her kind eyebrows and good intentions, but she didn't make any sense to do things. Xiao Han was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and when he saw that he entered the temple quietly, he turned his head and left. Hui An recited the Buddha's horn behind him and said, "Master Xiao, go all the way." ”
This sentence was so annoying, Xiao Han wanted to scold, but he was afraid of losing his identity, so he had to pretend not to hear it, and went down the mountain in a daze, and saw Duan Xiliu still standing there, looking at him with a sneering face.
Xiao Han's old face turned red and said, "This old nun is simply a bastard. Duan Xiliu didn't seem to hear it, and said, "How do you know that the junior sister is running away from marriage?" Xiao Han's heart tightened, and his face changed a few times: "Who does Li Jing want to marry her?"
Duan Xiliu said: "Do you know that there is a great Han country in the south of us?" Xiao Han nodded and said: "You know, what's wrong?" Duan Xiliu said: "The current monarch is named Liu Ling, and he has a younger brother Liu Xuanxing, who was named King Gui, and came to ask for relatives last year, and the lord of the country agreed to come down for the sake of friendship between the two countries. On the twentieth day of the lunar month, more than 100 envoys of the Han Dynasty came to greet their relatives in the name of congratulating the New Year, and the little junior sister had already learned the news, knowing that the resistance could not be resisted, so she hid in the palace under the pretext of illness, although Uncle Ye felt sorry for her, but this was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, military affairs, and she had no other way. Until the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the little junior sister took advantage of Uncle Ye's departure from the palace to change her outfit with the serving girl, and disappeared. ”
Xiao Han was speechless for a while, this matter is already related to the country's diplomatic relations, and it is not something that he can easily mix, even if he comes from the future, if he can't judge the situation and insist on working against Li Jing, he will probably die without scum. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty is not strong, it also has hundreds of thousands of troops, and it casually pulls out a team to do its own Wudang faction, and the result is not to be thought about.
Xiao Han suddenly thought that Ye Tianhan was old and refined, and his apprentice had run away, how could she stay in the palace in a proper manner? Besides, for no reason, what was she doing when she left the palace? Maybe it was her idea to deliberately release water to let the princess run away. Looking at her previous attitude towards Li Yueying, this idea is more realistic. Li Jing naturally thought of this, so he put her under house arrest, wanting to force the princess to take the initiative to return to the palace to admit her mistake.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han settled down for a while, beckoned Duan Xiliu to go down the mountain, the two talked while walking, Xiao Han said his guess, Duan Xiliu was speechless for a long time. All the way back to the Wudang station, Ye Zixuan served the meal, Duan Xiliu thanked him, and ate two large bowls of rice like a storm, watched Ye Zixuan clean up the dishes and chopsticks, followed Xiao Han back to his residence, and the two sat down as guests.
Xiao Han's guess just now Duan Xiliu had already thought about it, but there was only one question that he was puzzled about, so he frowned and asked, "If it was Senior Uncle Ye who let go of the little junior sister, why did he ask me to look for you?" Xiao Han was overjoyed and asked rhetorically: "You came to me to find someone, was it ordered by Senior Ye?" Duan Xiliu nodded, Xiao Han's heart was relieved, and said, "That's it, the princess must have been deliberately let go by her." Seeing that he was so sure, Duan Xiliu was also relieved and asked, "Little Senior Sister didn't come here, where can we look for it?"
Xiao Han frowned and said, "Senior Brother Luo, why didn't you come with you?" Duan Xiliu's face suddenly changed, and he said, "He's not in Jiangnan." Xiao Han was puzzled: "Where are you not in Jiangnan?" Don't you still have a junior brother named Jiangdong Pavilion, won't you call them to look for it together?"
Duan Xiliu sighed, looking very surprised, and said, "Senior Brother Jiang is not in Jiangnan either. Senior Brother Luo, this, this ......" He hesitated, arousing Xiao Han's interest, and asked: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, if you come to me, I won't stand idly by, if you blindly cover it up, it's a little raw." ”
As soon as he said this, Duan Xiliu's face turned red and said, "Senior brother went to Shaolin Temple." Xiao Han was surprised: "What is he doing there?" Then he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help laughing: "I see." Duan Xiliu glanced at him and said embarrassedly: "Senior brother said that he was going to learn from Jueyuan, a disciple of Master Xingkong, and by the way, he would find out the whereabouts of Senior Sister." Xiao Han waved his hand and said: "The world's martial arts are out of Shaolin, Senior Brother Luo wants to make progress, of course, he has to learn more from others." ”
Duan Xiliu knew that Xiao Han was quick-witted, so it was inconvenient to say more, and said: "I wanted to ask Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi asked me to come to you first to have a look, if not, let me look north, you say, where will Senior Sister go?"
Xiao Han thought for a while and said: "There are nineteen states in the Southern Tang Dynasty, three armies, one hundred and eight counties, and a population of about 655,000 households, according to the calculation of five people per household, there are more than three million, and trying to find one person is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." However, although Jiangnan is big, it is not easy to hide the princess, and she can't hide with her temperament. In my opinion, if the princess escapes, it must be properly arranged by Senior Ye, and maybe she will flee to Jiangbei. ”
As soon as these words came out, Duan Xiliu's face immediately changed, and he stood up and said, "What did you say?" Xiao Han waved his hand and asked him to sit down, and said, "What are you afraid of?" Duan Xiliu hurriedly said: "Jiangbei is the boundary of the Great Zhou, if the little junior sister has an accident, what should we do?" Xiao Han sneered: "The disappearance of the little junior sister is none of your business, how can it be involved in you." ”
Duan Xiliu hurriedly said: "You said it lightly, three years ago, my senior sister disappeared, and we were almost killed. This time, the little junior sister is missing again, and if we can't find anyone, Uncle Shi will really cripple us. Xiao Han smiled and said: "This time is different from the past, Senior Ye will not repeat the previous mistakes, and your little junior sister is not a senior sister, don't worry." ”
Duan Xiliu saw that he was full of confidence, and his heart gradually settled, and said: "You say, where are we going to find it now? Could it be true that we want to cross the river and go north?" Xiao Han said that it was false not to worry, that girl had always been rude, even if Ye Tianhan arranged for her to flee north, it would definitely be a bumpy road, and it would never be calm. I'm afraid that if she doesn't check for a while, she will fall into the gangsters of the rivers and lakes, and if she is taken captive to be the wife of the king of the mountain or something, she will lose a lot. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and he finally couldn't help but stand up and said, "If Senior Brother Duan doesn't give up, Xiao is willing to go to Jiangbei with you to find Miss Li." ”
Duan Xiliu listened to him for a long time, and his heart gradually settled down, feeling that what Xiao Han said made sense. If Uncle Ye didn't arrange for the little junior sister to escape, with her martial arts experience, it would definitely be difficult to move an inch in the rivers and lakes, let alone escape to Jiangbei. Seeing that Xiao Han promised him to look for it together, Duan Xiliu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The two discussed for a long time, and basically determined the route of Li Yueying's escape, planning to go to Jinling first, and then cross the river to the north, passing Chuzhou, Haozhou, and Suzhou, all the way to the north, and going straight to Bianliang, Tokyo. Now that he had a plan, Duan Xiliu calmed down, Xiao Han asked Ye Zixuan to help him change into new clothes, and returned to the original appearance of Yushu Linfeng, and then accompanied him to appreciate the banner of the Wudang faction. Duan Xiliu realized that he had changed the name of the sect, looked at the big flag for more than a minute, and saw the small green flags fluttering in the wind everywhere in the high places of the entire village, and was amazed by Xiao Han's propaganda creativity.
Now that the big event has been decided, Duan Xiliu put his mind at ease, accompanied Xiao Han to dinner, and exchanged wishes for the New Year with the Wudang faction, and the two returned to the house to re-plan.
You have to have a goal in life, Xiao Han has thought about it countless times, he has been here for half a year and has achieved nothing, except for being struck by lightning a few times to learn martial arts, and then he has met some martial arts figures, and there is no other benefit. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have said anything about the short-term and long-term goals at the founding meeting of the Wudang Sect.
Xiao Han has been here for more than half a year, and with his rich knowledge of later generations, he has long realized that the ancient and the modern are one, and if you want to live a happy life, you must first have money, and then you must be strong. Cai Da is coarse, and people will naturally listen to what he says. If you are strong, no one dares to bully, and things will be smooth. Although she earned the first pot of gold with the help of Li Yueying, she still has to rely on herself for the future. He used to be ignorant, but recently he has some plans. I thought about taking my time after the New Year, but Li Yueying's escape was disrupted, and it responded to the saying: plans can't catch up with changes.
Because he had to think about Wudang, Xiao Han felt that his mind was becoming more and more meticulous. This time, Duan Xiliu came to him to look for Li Yueying, firstly, Ye Tianhan did not dare to guarantee whether his apprentice would listen to her arrangement, and secondly, Ye Tianhan began to identify with his relationship with Li Yueying. Of course, this relationship is not a special one. What's more, the reason why I was able to get involved with her was because of coincidence, second, she was thick-skinned enough, and third, the girl was simple-minded.
If Li Yueying escapes, Li Jing will definitely be furious, the Southern Tang Kingdom will naturally not be able to stay, and if Li Yueying is allowed to escape across the river in the north, it will be even more unsafe, Ye Tianhan is an old Jianghu, and he will not make such a low-level mistake. In this way, it shows that Li Yueying's escape was carefully planned by their master and apprentice, but Ye Tianhan did not have a good grasp of his apprentice's self-control ability, so he let Duan Xiliu come to him to check.
There is also Ye Tianhan asked Duan Xiliu to come to him, firstly, to check whether Li Yueying escaped smoothly as she arranged, and secondly, to inform him in disguise, perhaps to check his attitude.
The more Xiao Han thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, if Ye Tianhan specially sent Duan Xiliu to inform him of this, it would show that the two masters and apprentices already had his shadow in their hearts. Thinking of this, Xiao Han couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but he couldn't stop Duan Xiliu from sitting on the side, he couldn't lose his temper, he tried his best to endure it, the muscles on his face jumped and jumped, and he couldn't see Duan Xiliu sitting on the side.
Duan Xiliu frowned and said, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Han shook his face a few times and said, "I was wondering when we will leave?" Duan Xiliu said: "Of course, the sooner the better, from now on to the capital five hundred miles." Xiao Han shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I have a better way." ”
Duan Xiliu was just about to ask him what he could do, when he heard a "bang" in the courtyard, and then heard the screams of the disciples of Wudang.
