The heavy snow blocked the view, Zhang Wuji couldn't see the face of the person for a while, but he was deeply impressed by this voice, and his face changed drastically after hearing this, and he said in disbelief: "Demon Lord, why did you appear here?"

Zhao Yu took a step forward, took a look at this remote Taoist temple in disrepair, and then looked at Zhang Wuji, who was surprised, and said with a smile: "It's really hard to find a place where you live, and it's hard for you to find such a place to stay." Zhang Shaoxia, you are a landlord, we came from afar, and we were rejected like this?"

Yang Xiao, who was standing behind Zhao Yu, stepped forward and said, "Zhang Shaoxia, we also understand your current predicament. The Sect Master led us here to see if there was anything we could do to help. If you can't be the master, you might as well ask Zhang Zhenren. ”

When Zhang Wuji heard this, his mood became faintly excited. Although he has suffered a lot from Zhao Yu, he is also very convinced of Zhao Yu's ability to do things, and now he is deeply tormented by the distress that there is nothing to be done, and he learned that Zhao Yu is willing to help, and whether it is true or not, there is a few glimmers of hope in his heart. He quietly Zhao Yu behind these people, in addition to Yang Xiao, there are still Wei Yixiao and Mr. Leng Qian among the five scattered people, and there are two flag envoys of the Five Elements Banner Zhuang Zheng and Yan Yuan, and even the medical immortal Hu Qingniu is among them, but he can't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

He first saluted Hu Qingniu, and then asked curiously: "Why didn't my grandfather come?"

"The Eagle King is still in Jiangning to preside over the affairs of the martial arts hall, and he is very busy. How can I have time to come here. You don't have to worry, though. I came to Dadu, there are still important things to do, but I didn't come to harm you on purpose, whether the Eagle King came or not, but it doesn't make much difference. Zhao Yu said as he walked into the courtyard.

Zhang Wuji didn't dare to slack off, and brought this group into the main hall, and he quickly went to report to Master Tai and ask him to decide.

The guards stepped forward and took the big slug from Zhao Yu. Then the fire in the brazier was stirred up even more vigorously. Although everyone has martial arts. It's not cold, but it's good to have a fire to dry the moisture on your body.

Because Zhao Yu wanted to stay in Yingtian to preside over the overall situation, he had already had the idea of going north to Dadu. But it wasn't until the New Year's passed. Many things are on the right track. to make the trip. The reason why I came to the Wudang faction here to take a look was to exchange the information that the two sides had on the one hand, and on the other hand, to see if we could quickly open up a situation with the help of the Wudang faction's early foundation. But. After seeing the dilapidated Taoist temple where the Wudang faction lived, Zhao Yu felt that his two thoughts seemed to be thinking too much.

Wei Yixiao leaned against the fire, stretching his cool limbs. Yan Yuan looked at it from the side and said with a smile: "Bat King, your appearance is becoming more and more inconsistent with that nickname. Have you ever seen an old bat leaning towards the fire?"

When Wei Yixiao heard this, he laughed and said, "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." After a few months of leisure in Yingtian, I feel a little unbearable at the moment. Yan Fatty, don't laugh. Earlier, you boasted that the avant-garde of the palace had opened up a lot of openness in most of the capitals, and if you couldn't even get a decent place to live later, everyone wouldn't agree to you. ”

After Yan Yuan heard this, his face showed a look of pride, and he said with a smile: "If you can't even do this little thing, our palace avant-garde will not be embarrassed! Thanks to the blessing of the sect leader, this time I will ask the Bat King to teach you the scenery of the Gaomen compound." ”

Speaking of this, he said to Zhao Yu again: "Sect Master, I said earlier that with the foundation laid by the avant-garde of our palace in Dadu, there is no need to come here to do more. ”

Yang Xiao said with a smile on the side: "Yan Qi makes your vision still unable to keep up with the changes in the situation, now our Mingjiao is different from the past, it is like returning to the countryside and being neighbored, and you can no longer put on a bitter and bitter appearance." is qualified enough to raise a reputation in the rivers and lakes, where is the sect leader borrowing the help of others when he comes this time, but to see if there is an opportunity to ignore past suspicions and repay grievances with virtue. ”

Zhuang Zheng also sighed: "At this time and that time, in the past, every move of our Mingjiao was evil, but I didn't expect that now we are qualified to do chivalrous deeds." ”

While several people were talking, Zhang Wuji walked out and said, "My master invited the Demon Monarch to come in for a while. ”

Zhao Yu stood up, motioned for everyone to wait for a while, and then walked through the hall and into the backyard wing.

When Zhao Yu walked into the room, Zhang Sanfeng got up to greet him, looked at Zhao Yu and smiled: "Little friend, should I call you Sect Master Zhao or His Royal Highness the King of Chu? I really didn't expect you to come to Dadu in person." ”

Zhao Yu bowed to Zhang Sanfeng and said: "No matter which title you call, in front of Zhang Zhenren, you are just a backward learner. ”

Zhang Sanfeng invited Zhao Yu to sit down, without mentioning anything else, and asked first: "What is the effect of the martial arts test you made?"

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment before he said: "It's still very good, more than 3,000 people took the exam, and a total of 121 people were selected, and now they are either assigned to the vanguard of my palace, or they are maintaining law and order in the local area, arresting bandits, and they are doing very diligently." ”

After Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he bowed slightly: "More than 3,000 people, more than 100 have been selected, it seems that the conditions for this test are also harsh." This is very good, although it provides a way out for the people of the rivers and lakes, but also remember that it is better to have a shortage than an abundance, so that it can be maintained for a long time. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "This is only the first session, everyone will inevitably hesitate in their hearts, and there is another group of people who go north to Dadu, and they have no time to take the exam." Therefore, the standards are relaxed, and they will definitely be stricter in the future. For this initiative to be sustained in the long term, it must first have enough credibility to be convincing. If there is a samurai who is not the desired one, it will have a very bad effect. ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhang Sanfeng said directly: "It seems that I want to ask you, a little friend, to help out." We, the people of the rivers and lakes, want to rescue people from the hands of the Tartar court, and we are indeed like headless flies, and we can't get out. Truth be told, we don't even know where people are being held now. Although some traces were found and several places were traced, they were all one step behind, and as soon as they arrived, they moved people away. Instead of succeeding in rescuing people, they lost many people. Until now, I am timid, I am not completely sure, and I dare not move lightly. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "They are booby-trapping you, after all, so many people have infiltrated the capital, it is difficult for them to find out one by one." And it is much easier to lure you out with the bait in your hands. ”

After Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he said helplessly: "Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, you only listened to it, and you understood the intention of the Tartars." But I suffered a few big losses before I gradually understood. At the moment, I can't figure out what to do. ”

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Zhang Zhenren is sarcastic, I am used to doing conspiracy, and no matter what it means, it is always an exciting thing to be able to get Zhang Zhenren's praise." The main purpose of my visit to Dadu this time was not to rescue those people. But when the time is right, I'll help. Zhang Zhenren can rest assured for the time being, he might as well make more movements. In short, the more the Mongols feel that the more threat you have, the safer the hostages will be in their hands. ”

After talking for a while, Zhao Yu got up and said goodbye, saying, "I will come to Dadu this time, and I still have to stay for a while. Later, I will send someone to inform Zhang Zhenren of where I am staying, and if Zhang Zhenren needs anything, he can send someone to inform me. ”

Zhang Sanfeng also got up to thank him, and sent Zhao Yu out of the Taoist temple all the time. Looking at the direction in which Mingjiao's line disappeared, there was a faint thought between his eyebrows. This time they met, he obviously felt the change in Zhao Yu's temperament, if he used to be sharp, now he is introverted, and his temperament is becoming more and more dignified, which makes people dare not slack off.

Zhang Wuji saw Master Tai on the side with a pensive look on his face, and said worriedly: "Master Tai, could it be that the Demon Lord is still going to be unfavorable to us?"

Zhang Sanfeng looked back and laughed, and said, "This won't happen, we are not worth his effort to calculate now." This young man has become a big climate, and he is no longer the unwilling demon lord in the past, what he sees in his eyes and what he thinks in his heart is not something we can guess.
