Guo Wei knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, and thought of this Huikong who would not save him when he saw death, but he still had a glimmer of hope and said:

"The host and the prince do not advocate ceding the land to the Khitan, and now the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang is driving a personal expedition, and he wants to use the power of the whole country to destroy my Great Jin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoNow that the military spending problem cannot be solved, I will go back to ask the prince for guilt. ”

After speaking, Guo Wei got up and said goodbye to Huikong. Huikong also got up and motioned for him to sit down, and then said to him:

"General Guo, although the contemptible people have no money and food to help, but thinking of Liu Zhiyuan's generosity and ability, I have a sentence I want you to convey to him. The Khitan is now in full swing, and I hope that he can keep his head down, secretly accumulate strength, and not clash head-on with the Khitan. This is not only for the people of Taiyuan, but also for the entire Great Jin Kingdom."

"The meaning of the host will definitely be conveyed to the prince in the future. Guo Wei agreed.

After Guo Wei left Guixian Temple, Le Yiyang also returned to the East Chamber. He lay on the bed, carefully recalling the conversation between Huikong and Guo Wei, and felt that many places were very strange. The Khitan has reached the doorstep, and if they don't resist, what is the difference between it and the Later Tang army ten years ago. Le Yiyang's father was born in the army, and he worked as an errand in Daizhou for a while, if his father was still in the world, he would definitely not sit still. Alas, now that my father has died, what's the use of thinking about this. Le Yiyang's heart was suddenly full of melancholy, and he couldn't sleep.

Late at night, Huikong went to the side hall. It was already crowded with dozens of people dressed in various costumes, most of whom were in their fifties. When everyone saw the host, they all saluted, and then turned into a neat queue. At this time, just listen to the wisdom of the way:

"Brothers, the presiding officer has important matters to discuss with you tonight, so I have invited you all over. ”

Everyone was quiet, and their eyes were full of anticipation. Huikong looked at these people in front of him and said slowly:

"Fourteen years later, we can still get together again, and I am deeply gratified. Now that the border is on fire again, it seems that a big war is coming. Just tonight, Liu Zhiyuan also sent someone over to inquire about military salaries. According to the intelligence of the contemptible people in the Khitan inner line, this time the Khitan wants to destroy the Jin State in one fell swoop, and the people of the Central Plains are in danger, and we should do something. ”

After listening to it, everyone understood what Huikong meant. "Shoot a man before a horse, capture a thief before capture the king. "As long as Yelu Deguang is eliminated, the Khitan army will be leaderless, and they have to retreat obediently.

"If you don't go deep into the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" said impassionedly, asking to go.

"Okay, the contemptible people have treated the people of the world and thanked everyone! Bring the wine, the contemptible people have had a good drink with the brothers tonight. At this time, Huikong could no longer control the rules of the monks. After more than ten years of hiding in Taiyuan, it is finally time to make a move.

After everyone left Guixian Temple, after making preparations, the troops divided into several roads, crossed the Taihang Mountain, and marched towards the Khitan military camp in the Central Plains one after another.

After spending a few days at Guixian Temple, Le Yiyang prepared to leave for the capital. I suddenly remembered that I had been disturbed here for so long, and I should go and say goodbye to Master Huixing in person. On the way, I happened to meet Du Cheng coming back from carrying water, so I asked him about the whereabouts of Master Huixing. I learned that Hui Xing was in the same class of monks in the main hall at this time, listening to Hui Kong preside over the chant. Le Yiyang went to the door of the main hall and waited quietly.

After a stick of incense, the monks finally came out. Hui Xing accompanied Hui Kong out of the hall, saw Le Yiyang, hurriedly beckoned him over, and then introduced to Hui Kong:

"Senior brother, this is the almsgiving master I mentioned to you. ”

Le Yiyang stepped forward and saluted Huikong and said:

"I have admired the name of the presiding officer for a long time, and I can see it today, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”

Huikong saw that the young man in front of him was only seventeen years old, with a slender body, dark hair, and his speech and demeanor were already extraordinary, so he said:

"It is really rare for the donor to be able to create the rivers and lakes at such a young age. ”

"The host master, who has been living on the border for a long time, has been studying poetry and literature, and has not become a martial artist, and this time he came out. It's really a last resort. ”

Huikong saw that there was something unspeakable, so it was inconvenient to continue asking. I care about the authenticity:

"The old man sees that the donor's foundation is not bad, and he should be able to make great achievements in the future. The old man sent you a sentence, hoping to help you: the rivers and lakes are sinister, you must be patient first, there is nothing in your heart is better than something, and the monks often say that there is nothing. ”

"In the future, you must remember to preside over the teachings. After being disturbed in your temple for so long, I am ready to leave for the capital today, and I have come to say goodbye to the two masters. ”

"The donor was born in troubled times, it is indeed unfortunate, please take care. "Hui Xingdao.

"Thank you for your teachings. Two masters, there will be a period later. Le Yiyang agreed.

"There will be a date later!"

Leaving Guixian Temple, Le Yiyang found that there was a large bag of rope and fifty taels of silver in the baggage. It turned out that Hui Xing had already arranged for someone to put the silver in his luggage. Le Yiyang was grateful to Guixian Temple, so he quickened the pace of his march. He traveled during the day, and at night he used ropes from his baggage to weave a simple hammock in the middle of the trees for rest. This Taihang Mountain stretches for more than 500 miles, divides several mountain ranges from north to south, and is the boundary mountain between Taiyuan and Luzhou. Le Yiyang walked for half a month before he walked out of Taihang Mountain. South of Taihang Mountain is the territory of Luzhou. To the south of Luzhou is Weizhou, and further south is Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Le Yiyang slept all the way, and finally found a small inn in Luzhou at the end of the day. This inn is right next to the road and there are no other inns around. This place is still two hundred miles away from the state capital. So he went into the inn and saw that it was full of people, most of whom were dressed like him. Although Luzhou is borderline with Taiyuan, the customs are very different from Taiyuan. Taiyuan is a mixture of ethnic groups, while most of the people in Luzhou are Han Chinese. It seems that these people also came from Taiyuan.

Le Yiyang walked straight to the counter and said to the shopkeeper:

"Bring me a minimal room. ”

"Excuse me, guest officer. The shop is full today, and there are no rooms. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"How so?" asked Le Yiyang.

"Guest officer, you have also seen that in the wilderness of this place, there is only one inn, and naturally it is overcrowded every day. The guest officer came from afar, and the little one will tell you the truth, and now even the stables are full. The shopkeeper said helplessly, "However, thirty miles further on, there is a Youyun Villa, there are many rooms in the Zhuangzi, but it is just ......"

Seeing that it was getting dark, and if he couldn't find a place to stay, he would have to sleep outside the inn for a night, so he hurriedly asked:

"Just what? ”

"Youyun Villa is very mysterious, the small ones have only seen the people who went in, but not the people who came out. The shopkeeper said softly.

"Is there such a thing in the world?" Le Yiyang wondered, "You can't stay here for a long time, it's better to go to Youyun Villa for one night and leave early tomorrow morning." Thinking about it, he walked out of the inn.

The terrain of Luzhou is relatively flat in Taiyuan, although it is thirty miles away, Le Yiyang will arrive in half an hour. At this time, the sky was already dark, and I saw a lake in front of me, and next to the lake was a bamboo forest, and there seemed to be many houses in the depths of the bamboo forest. Le Yiyang walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, only to hear the crow's cry, and his heart couldn't help but shudder. He took a deep breath and strode inside.

After walking about 100 steps, I saw a stone gate. There are four big characters engraved above the stone gate, Youyun Villa. After walking through the stone gate, you will come to an open field. Everything in front of him amazed Le Yiyang. Exquisite courtyards are connected. There are pavilions and rockeries outside the courtyard, and you can practice all the way to the large lake outside the bamboo forest.

"It's clearly a private garden. "But where is the owner of the garden?"

He thought as he walked towards the courtyard.

There are five large trees in the courtyard, each about the size of five meters. The branches of the trees communicated with each other, and only a few dead leaves remained in the treetops swaying in the cold wind. After passing through the tree, you will come to the outside of the main hall of the courtyard. Le Yiyang looked around and asked loudly:

"Is anyone there?"

Several birds were startled by his voice and flew away.

"I passed by Guizhuang tonight, and I want to stay here for one night, and I will leave tomorrow morning. He continued.

Le Yiyang waited for a while, but there was still no one in the room to respond. Le Yiyang felt that something was wrong, and remembered what the innkeeper said to him, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. So I was ready to leave this place as soon as possible.

As soon as Le Yiyang came out of the courtyard, he ran into a person with his back to the door. Le Yiyang was startled and hurriedly took two steps back. I saw this person slowly turn around and stare at Le Yiyang with his eyes. It turned out to be a girl, dressed in a tight suit and holding a long sword in her hand. Judging by her appearance, she should be around fifteen or sixteen years old. However, there was still an evil aura in her weak body.

"Do you know what this place is called?" she asked in a somber voice.

"Yoyun Villa. Le Yiyang replied cautiously.

"Knowing that Youyun Villa still dares to come, it's not a small courage. She snapped.

"I didn't mean to offend the girl, but it was getting late, and the inn at the foot of Taihang Mountain was already full of people, so I wanted to end the night in Guizhuang. Le Yiyang saw that her words were full of murderous energy, and wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

"Want to go?" the girl smiled coldly,

"Come as you want, go as you want, what do you think this is!" he said, drawing the sword in his hand.

Le Yiyang listened to it, knowing that he couldn't hide from today's incident. At this time, he thought of what Huikong Host had said to him a few days ago, and his heart calmed down. Road:

"It seems that everything is arranged by God. ”

Hearing his words, the girl was taken aback. In the past few years, she had seen many people like Xiang Le Yiyang trespassing on Youyun Villa, but she had never seen Xiang He so calm. It seems that this kid will be extraordinary, so let's ask him where he comes from. She thought to herself.

Le Yiyang thought that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe today, and when he saw that the girl was staring at him with a pair of eyes, he said:

"It seems that I won't be able to get out of Youyun Villa tonight. ”

"Who are you, where are you from, and where are you going?"

The woman slowly inserted the sword back into its scabbard, and instead of answering Le Yiyang's question, she asked him three questions in a row, as if she wanted to know about his background.

"In Xiale Yiyang, Taiyuan people's clan, ready to go to the capital. Le Yiyang replied truthfully.

"There are more than 2,000 miles from Taiyuan to the capital, and you are alone, aren't you afraid?" At this time, the girl's tone softened.

"Now that the border is smoking, the Khitan is plundering everywhere, and the great enemy is approaching, how can I take care of my own safety? I take the liberty to disturb tonight, and I hope that the girl will atone for her sins. ”

"I see, it seems that you are not a bad person. The girl looked at Le Yiyang and said slowly.

Le Yiyang saw that the girl was also lonely, and asked with concern, "Why is the girl here alone?"

"Shut up, don't ask what you shouldn't!" the girl said as she motioned with her eyes for Le Yiyang to leave.

As soon as the girl finished speaking, there was a burst of "haha" laughter from outside the door. Le Yiyang looked towards the door and saw a man in yellow clothes and a gold crown on his head walking in. He was less than twenty years old, followed by two retinues. Le Yiyang was about to salute, but the man hurriedly stopped,

"Le Gongzi came from afar, and he will stay in my village tonight. If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope to bear with me. ”

Seeing that he was so retained, Le Yiyang agreed to stay.

The man walked to the door, turned back to the girl and said, "Ji Yun, Le Gongzi will be handed over to you, tomorrow morning Tianxian Pavilion morning banquet, you must invite Le Gongzi over." With that, he left.

It turned out that this girl's name was Ji Yun, and she was the second lady of Youyun Villa.
