Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Imperial City of Dali

The next journey is not dangerous, there are a lot of robberies, for the two of them are surprised by Li Lao, of course Zhao Ming is not dangerous, he has made a windfall along the way, among which the greatest contribution is to count the journey from Xiangyang to Jingzhou, this road is the commercial artery of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is naturally a good place for robbers to make a fortune.

The two of them met three groups of robbers on this section of the road, and these are all large gangs of more than 30 people, if it weren't for Zhao Ming's sharp fingers and profound internal strength, it is estimated that they would have to be planted in their hands, people will not face you head-on, first give your brother rocks, rolling wood, flying arrows or something, do everything, these are the real bandits, before Zhao Ming met those two buddies, it is estimated that he has listened too much to the storytelling.

Zhao Ming can be said to have relied on a yang finger all the way, and he is now extremely glad that he took such a big risk to steal this yang finger.

However, the contribution of these bandits is still rich, Zhao Mingshun took Li Lao to end their lair, and even the cheats have turned out a few books, but unfortunately they are all low-end martial arts, Zhao Ming has long been useless, the only thing that is still eye-catching is the fingering of a "Wonderful Hands Empty", although Zhao Ming doesn't know what to do, who can say for sure that he won't need it in the future.

"Ah, it's finally ...... place" Zhao Ming looked at the Dali Imperial City and couldn't help sighing, there was both joy and loss in his eyes, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

But Zhao Ming didn't know that there were several hidden lines in the cottage that he destroyed as bandits along the way, and they were all planted by Murong Fu's retainers, and they were pulled out by Zhao Ming like this, and now Murong Fu is leading the world to find the murderer.

Not only Zhao Ming's mood is complicated, but the coachman Li Lao's mood is even more complicated, he sees the hardships along the way, although he is very happy to arrive at the Dali Imperial City safely, but he also feels very confused about his future, if he says that he rides back in a carriage, he will definitely not be able to reach the Great Song Dynasty, maybe in which ravine will be caught and killed by those bandits, but what should he do if he doesn't go back?

Zhao Ming didn't find out Li Lao's complicated thoughts, he encountered so many things along the way, and the journey of a month was originally a day and night, but it turned into two months, and it was August, and the trees outside began to wither, and Zhao Ming wanted to know if he could catch up now.

"Into town. After speaking, Zhao Ming came back to the car.

Li Lao was not ambiguous, he was accustomed to Zhao Ming's simple and clear orders along the way, and immediately rode his horse to the Imperial City of Dali.

The two entered the city, Zhao Ming was not in a hurry to find an inn to live in, wherever they went, everyone thought it was a big man passing by, if Zhao Ming showed up, wouldn't he become a celebrity in the whole Dali.

"Let's find a secluded place for me to get out of the car. Zhao Ming's head didn't leak, so he said a word in the car.

Li Lao hurriedly drove the carriage to ...... Behind a brothel, there is no way, it's just a big enough place and no one cares.

"Sir, there's no one here. ”

Zhao Ming hurriedly got out of the car when he heard this, but as soon as he got out of the car, he was depressed, and said that there was no one, these eyes were staring, and Zhao Ming's goosebumps were about to fall to the ground when he laughed.

"It's... Call no one?" Zhao Ming looked at Li Lao suspiciously.

Li Lao hurriedly said: "Isn't the master trying to find an inconspicuous place, you see that there are some luxury cars here, although our car is more atmospheric and noble, but it will not be too prominent, and it will not be regarded as a monkey by those people, as for these people, hehe, it should be this ****!" Speaking of this, Li Lao himself couldn't help but smile obscenely.

Zhao Ming was suddenly full of black lines, and he originally thought that this Li Lao was an honest little old man, but he didn't expect him to have this obscene other side.

"Alright, I'll be here, and then I won't need a carriage, and if you're in a hurry to go back, you can go back now." Zhao Ming didn't care about the strange eyes of those **** after seeing him come out, they originally thought that the son-in-law of which family had newly gotten such a high-end and high-grade carriage, but they didn't expect a monk to come out of it.

In Dali for monks can be very respectful and respectful, this can be said to be a Buddhist country, Tianlong Temple as the state religion, even the royal family to the Buddha respect, after the abdication will be shaved ordained.

Monks are also relatively strictly controlled here, and there has never been such a blatant visit to a brothel, at least not before.

Zhao Ming didn't care about them, and got out of the car directly to leave, but Li Lao next to him suddenly said: "Master, I ......"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Zhao Ming turned his head and looked at Li Lao suspiciously, although the two had only been together for two months, Zhao Ming still liked Li Lao's honest and honest personality......

Li Lao was entangled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I hope to be able to follow you in the future." After saying that, it seemed that his heart had finally made up his mind, and all that was left in his eyes was firmness.

Zhao Ming was stunned when he heard his words, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect Elder Li to say such a sentence.

Li Lao didn't plan to regret it since he said it, and then said: "Master, I also know the danger of going down this way, I have encountered a lot of robbers with the caravan before, but they have been repelled by the warriors of the escort team, and I am also protected by the lord along the way, but I am self-aware, if I go back by myself, it will be impossible to return to the Great Song Dynasty at all, maybe I will die on the road, and I am also old, and it is a burden to go back, I don't want to drag the children down." As he spoke, the old man's eyes dimmed.

Zhao Ming was also a little sad when he heard the old man's words, although there was no law in the Great Song Dynasty that the elderly should be collectively executed when they reached a certain age, but for an ordinary family, if there was an old man who had lost his labor force at home, it would be a heavy burden.

Naturally, the old man did not want to be a burden himself.

"What about your wife, what about your son?" Zhao Ming was still a little unbearable for his decision, after all, it is not possible for everyone to stay in a foreign country forever, especially when there is a chance to go back, at this time, people firmly believe that only when the leaves return to their roots can their souls have a home.

"Hehe, my wife passed away three years ago, as for my son, I also explained it when I came out, if I don't go back, they must think that I died outside, they won't worry, this is not the best result for them. After speaking, the old man smiled helplessly.

Zhao Ming nodded, not surprised, in this society that is even more cruel than the next generation, he may not be able to support himself, let alone want to bear the burden of an old man.

If the old man can die unexpectedly, it is of course the best choice for them, although it is cruel, but it is also very realistic.

Zhao Ming didn't ask any more and thought about it and said: "Then you stay, well, you take this silver and find an inn to live in, and I will go to you then, if I can't wait, I will take the rest of the money to buy a property here to live." ”

Li Lao was not much surprised when he took the silver ticket handed over by Zhao Ming, he was almost immune to money along the way, and generally the gold and silver were exchanged for silver tickets by his own master, and even he didn't know how many silver tickets his son had on him.

But he clearly didn't want to be left alone.

"Then master, how did you find me?" Since Li Lao said that following Zhao Ming was naturally not ambiguous at all, he knew that only by following his own master would the road in the future not be boring, and there was hope, if he stayed, it would really be no different from sitting and waiting for death.

Zhao Ming originally thought that this Li Lao would only stay because he was worried about the hardships on the way back, so he directly gave one hundred taels so that he could live on his own in the future, but he didn't expect that this Li Lao really wanted to follow him.

"Then you will stay in the largest inn in the Imperial City, and I will know where it is when I inquire about it. This time, Zhao Ming did not perfunctory again, but directly pointed out the place where he would go to him.

Hearing Zhao Ming's words, Elder Li nodded, and left with the carriage.

Zhao Ming looked at the old man's back, his eyes were very complicated, but gradually he became more and more determined......
