Chapter 14: Falling Out

Lin Renzhao didn't know what Xi meant, but he did hear a down-and-out scholar who had to paint a portrait of himself on the street that day, and later mentioned this poem on the portrait at his request. At that time, Lin Renzhao didn't care, thinking that it was just a whim of a down-and-out scholar. And Lin Renzhao himself was deeply infected by the pride of the poem that looked at the world.

Now that he could hear Dao Xi chanting again, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "The master also thinks that this poem is heroic?"

Daoxi glanced at Lin Renzhao helplessly, sighed, and didn't know whether to lament that Taizu's poems did not show the Southern Tang Dynasty, or to lament that Lin Renzhao's catastrophe was coming.

"The sentence that the Southern Tang and the Northern Han are unified, doesn't the general think there is a problem?"

Lin Renzhao was puzzled, he just felt that the whole "Yongshi" was very imposing, although he understood that the Southern Tang Dynasty in the poem referred to the Tang Kingdom to which he was loyal, but he only thought that it was the scholars' desire for the unification of the north and the south. In fact, he himself also hoped to lead the Southern Tang Army, sweep the world, dominate the mountains and rivers, and build an immortal feat.

Lin Renzhao thought about it, but still didn't understand what Dao Xi meant, so he asked, "What's the problem?"

Dao Xi smiled and said: "The general doesn't think that the person who made this poem has the world in mind, and he is not a person from our court?"

"Huh?" Hearing Dao Xi say this, Lin Renzhao couldn't help but doubt, "When Lin first heard this poem, he got it from the mouth of a down-and-out scholar on the street, and he was impressed by the pride of the poem at first, but he never found the potential problems in the poem. ”

On a whim, I didn't even think about it, I agreed to the down-and-out scholar's request to inscribe a poem on the portrait, and now I think about it, if that person has bad intentions, wouldn't he be cocooned and bound himself?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he hurried into the bedroom to look for the portrait. At that time, the scholar was penniless, begging to paint a portrait of himself, and seeing his pity, Lin Renzhao did such a thing.

Dao Xi knew that Lin Renzhao was looking for the portrait, so he didn't stop it. He pondered in his heart whether to reveal Zhao Kuangyin's conspiracy to Lin Renzhaohe, or to persuade him by other methods. All in all, what Dao Xi wants now is to let Lin Renzhao abandon the Southern Tang Dynasty and take refuge in the Ming Lord, and this Ming Lord is Zhao Kuangyin who wants to frame him.

Lin Renzhao turned the bedroom upside down, but he didn't find the portrait, and he felt more and more strange in his heart. He walked out of the bedroom dejectedly and sighed, "I didn't expect that Lin was kind at some time, but he was actually framed by someone with a heart." But why did the master suddenly mention this poem?"

The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and the most strange thing was why Dao Xi in front of him knew about this poem, could he know about his portrait, or was he the mastermind at all?

Dao Xi saw that Lin Renzhao was suspicious, and he didn't care, "The general knows that this poem was written by the ambitious capital inspector in Jiangbei. ”

"Zhao Kuangyin?" Lin Renzhao was shocked and angry when he heard this, "Scholar Wuna, you mean to harm me!"

"What does the general mean by this?" Dao Xi asked with a pretended puzzlement, knowing the inside story.

Lin Renzhao saw that Daoxi didn't seem to be pretending to be confused, so he told Daoxi about the portrait that day. After Dao Xi heard this, he pretended to laugh deeply.

"Why is the master laughing?" asked Lin Renzhao puzzled.

"The portrait of the general, if it falls into the hands of Bixia, it will be a catastrophe, if it falls into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, but I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse?"

Lin Renzhao snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Kuangyin hates me to the bone, and he will definitely make a big fuss about this portrait and trap me in injustice." ”

"If Zhao Kuangyin wants to use the portrait to blackmail the general, why did he send assassins to assassinate the general several times?" asked Dao Xi rhetorically.

"Perhaps he saw that the assassination could not be achieved, so he used this poisonous plan. Lin Renzhao now firmly believes that this "portrait poison scheme" was done by Zhao Kuangyin, but he is not sure what the other party's idea is for a while.

"No matter what Zhao Kuangyin's idea is, the general is now in a position to retreat and lose his portrait, but it is a great trouble, I don't know how the general will deal with it?"

Lin Renzhao looked at Dao Xi at a loss, if this portrait was really stolen by Zhao Kuangyin's people as he guessed, then there were only two results waiting for him, one was presented to Li Yu by Zhao Kuangyin with a counter-strategy, with Li Yu's character, he estimated that he would not be able to escape death, and the other was to give up everything in front of him, identity, status, and ambition, and from then on he would be incognito and die in the mountains.

Give up everything and go far away, with Lin Renzhao's loyalty to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he will not be a deserter when the mountains and rivers are broken and his family and country are in danger. However, if he stayed in Jinling and faced the unknowable consequences, he really had no confidence that Li Yu would not fall for Zhao Kuangyin's countermeasures.

"Does the general want to transition to Jiangbei?" Dao Xi saw that Lin Renzhao was frowning, knowing that he had figured out the stakes, so he asked tentatively.

When Lin Renzhao heard this, he was furious: "What does the master mean by this? Although Lin is not a hero, he is only loyal to his ministers and does not care about the two masters, how can he do the thing of recognizing the thief as the master." ”

Lin Renzhao's resolute tone startled Dao Xi, as expected, he was the first loyal minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his mind was to live and die with the Southern Tang Dynasty. He wanted to try to persuade Lin Renzhao to serve Zhao Kuangyin, but now it seems that there is no play, so it is difficult to say anything.

"Lin is tired, take the first step. Dao Xi's words angered Lin Renzhao, he didn't expect that a master with great wisdom in his mind would actually want to take refuge in the enemy, which made him both angry and disappointed, and he didn't want to face Dao Xi for a moment.

Lin Renzhao walked away quickly, Dao Xi looked at the hazy moonlight, "Who am I trying to provoke, it's not that I see your blood, I don't want a hero like you to die of sorrow, otherwise how can I say this kind of thankless thing, hey!"

In the early morning of the next day, the two had breakfast together, but neither said a word, Lin Renzhao wanted to visit the oracle Li in Shouqingguan, and only said to Daoxi before leaving: "Master Gaoyi, Lin is very grateful, but he doesn't dare to ask Master Lao to condescend to protect Lin, a rough man." So and so, I went to make it clear to the county lord. ”

After speaking, Lin Renzhao brushed his sleeves and left. Dao Xi watched him walk away with a wry smile, he couldn't imagine that Lin Renzhao was loyal and martyrful, he was just a small suggestion, and he actually offended him so deeply, so he dismissed himself.

Dao Xi didn't plan to go with him to Shou Guan to explain to Li Shenyu, in his opinion, whether there was such a thing or not, he didn't want to get too involved in the political struggle of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Since he was opened, he had no reason to stay in Lin Renzhao's mansion anymore, thinking of what Yu Pixiu said last night, he decided to go to the Weeping Willow Tower to meet with Yu Pixiu, inquire about the matter of Shui Yunjian, and see if his second brother Shui Invisible was really taken captive by Shui Yunjian.

The weeping willow building in the future for more than ten days, but it has not changed much. On that day, the city patrol division shot a rain of arrows and crossbows, and the weeping willow building was dilapidated, and later Jinling Mansion used public funds to help the weeping willow rebuild it in order to solve the matter. After the weeping willow building was repaired, it changed the owner, and the original shopkeeper had already been shot into a hedgehog by an arrow to see the Buddha.

Entering the Weeping Willow Building, I walked to the box upstairs, and saw a jade Pixiu dressed as a handsome boy talking to a young man.

Daoxi pushed open the door and entered, and the young man stood up and said angrily, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Before Daoxi could answer, Yu Pixiu stood up and grabbed the young man, "Chen Fang, this monk is what I invited, not an enemy." ”

The young man named Chen Fang sat down suspiciously, but his eyes still couldn't help but stare at Dao Xi vigilantly, "Yu Pixiu, it's not that you don't know that today's matter is very important, why do you let an outsider participate so casually. ”

Yu Pixiu was questioned by Chen Fang, and said angrily: "Chen Fang, I don't need you to remind me to do things, don't forget, the matter that the prince ordered Jinling is up to me!"

Chen Fang opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something, but Zuihou still didn't say anything, and tilted his head out of the window.

Daoxi sat down on his own and said casually: "This brother, the little monk is just passing by, passing by, and it won't hinder you from discussing big things." ”

Chen Fang heard Daoxi's cool words, he was furious, and he just wanted to get angry, but he caught a glimpse of Yu Pixiu looking at him with burning eyes, and swallowed the words back hard when they came to his mouth.

"Xiao Zuo, or I should call you Daoxi. ”

"The name is just a code name, and it doesn't matter if you call me a thief monk. Daoxi said indifferently.

Yu Pixiu sneered, "I came to you today to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's busy?" Dao Xi had already guessed that it would not be good for Yu Pixiu to find him, and asked lightly.

Yu Pixiu glanced at Chen Fang and said, "You also know our Jihua, this Chen Fang, is the person in charge of our fine work in Jinling. This time, it was he who sent the portrait to Bianliang. ”

Dao Xi didn't even glance at Chen Fang, picked up the refreshments on the table and ate them, just nodded casually at Yu Pixiu.

Yu Pixiu didn't care about Daoxi's lack of righteousness, and then said: "Originally, things were going very well, but our company learned about Lin Renzhao's portrait from the fine work between the water and clouds, which led to the fact that our people in Jinling City have been rounded up by the water and clouds in recent days, and now the city gate is very strictly checked, and it is difficult for Chen Fang to go north safely with the portrait." ”

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" said Dao Xi with a full hiccups.

"I know that you have a good relationship with the county lord of Huaining, so I hope you can take Chen Fang out of the city through the county lord. ”

"Wait," Dao Xi looked at Yu Pixiu in confusion, "Who is the county lord of Huaining?"

"It's Oracle Lee. ”

"Then what are you going to do?" asked Daoxi.

Yu Pixiu thought for a while and said: "The envoy from the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Bianliang Dynasty is Li Yu's younger brother Li Congshan, and Li Congshan has a very good relationship with Li Oracle, you just need to stuff Chen Fang into the envoy group through the relationship of Li Oracle." ”

"I'll rub it, you think Divine Oracle Li is my daughter-in-law, I'll do whatever I tell her to do!" When Dao Xi heard this, he couldn't help but burst into a foul language.
