Two people shuttled between the streets and alleys, and even passed more than a dozen moves, but still the victory and defeat were not scored.

Yu Pixiu was horrified and very anxious. I don't think I can see it for a few years, but the little scholar who didn't know martial arts back then is now so clever in martial arts. But she suffered from the lack of a blade in her hand, and her internal strength had not yet reached the realm of Xiao Rin's sword qi fingers, so she could only retreat for a while to protect herself and defend passively.

"Jade Pixiu, if you don't retreat, don't blame the little monk for being ruthless. Daoxi was in a good mood and had a sense of puffing.

Yu Pixiu knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely lose in the hands of this monk, thinking that the monk did not intend to make things difficult, he had a plan, so he said: "Monk Daoxi, don't you want to know the whereabouts of your second brother?"

Hearing the word "second brother", Daoxi's face changed, "Do you know where my second brother is now?"

Jade Pixiu withdrew his palms, and Gege smiled: "I know but I know, but I still need you to cooperate with me, and I will inform you of the invisible whereabouts of the water." ”

Dao Xi looked at Yu Pixiu suspiciously, he couldn't guess whether the other party was sincere or fake, he hesitated for a while, Yu Pixiu saw that Dao Xi was suspicious, and said: "Your second brother, as well as that Yaoyin senior, is also very good now, but"

"Just what?" Dao Xi asked hurriedly.

It's just that although the lives of the two are safe, life is not very easy. ”

"Jade Pixiu, you won't make up nonsense to fool me, right? ”

"Since I can't beat you, and you don't mean to hurt me, why should I lie to you, anyway, believe it or not. Yu Pixiu coldly shook off a sentence and wanted to turn around and leave.

Dao Xi knew that Yu Pixiu was cunning and cunning, although he was not sure that the other party was lying and deceiving him, but he had been thinking about the water in his heart for a long time, and he had not gotten any news through many inquiries through the connections of Longevity for many years, and now that there was so much news, how could Dao Xi let it go.

He was confident that his martial arts were not weaker than Yu Pixiu's, and his resourcefulness might not be lost to the other party, and he had no intention of destroying what Yu Pixiu was trying to do, so he quickly chased after him. "You wait. ”

"Figured it out?" said Yu Pixiu as she stopped, turned around, and said.

"What do you want me to do?" said in a deep voice.

Yu Pixiu looked at Daoxi, thought for a moment, and said, "You know that we are planning Lin Renzhao's matter, and if it is known by the Southern Tang Dynasty, it will fall short. Recently, the water and clouds have been dispatched frequently, and several chess pieces that we have hidden in Jinling have been pulled out, so as not to cause extraneous branches, and when the portrait was not successfully sent back to Bianliang, I want you to stay on my side. ”

He is not Daoxi's opponent, and it is impossible to catch him, so Yu Pixiu can only retreat and keep the other party in his sight, so that he is not afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Daoxi didn't agree immediately, but weighed the general. With the means of Jade Pixiu, he is not afraid that he will be deceived, as for provoking the attention of Jinling Shili, anyway, the Southern Tang Dynasty is about to fall, and he does not care about being the enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"If I'm right, you're not thinking that simple. Daoxi asked rhetorically.

"If anyone provokes me, then I have to trouble the master to send me away. Jade Pixiu Gege smiled. She left Daoxi, on the one hand, because she was afraid that he would leak the news, and on the other hand, she never thought of taking Daoxi for her own use.

Dao Xi said in a deep voice: "I think what you are trying to do in Jinling is nothing more than using the portrait to oppose Lin Renzhao and make the Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs centrifuge. I promise you not to leak the news, and as for what you want me to be your thug, forget it, I don't have the habit of following a woman like a fart. ”

"How can I trust you?" asked Yu Pixiu rhetorically.

"Didn't you use my second brother's news to blackmail me, before you succeeded, I wouldn't ask you to tell me my second brother's whereabouts, and you don't have to be afraid that I would go back on my word, the little monk also hopes that the world will be unified, and he won't be stupid enough to die for a talented emperor who doesn't do his job. ”

Yu Pixiu thought about it, and the reason she used to attract Daoxi's attention was indeed not a useful condition. So he said: "Your second brother is also in Jinling now, but he was arrested by Shui Yunjian." Now it seems that you and I have a common enemy. ”

"I can promise to cooperate with you," Daoxi didn't expect Yu Pixiu to tell herself so directly, but after thinking about it, she was relieved, she refused to say it just now, but she was just losing her appetite, and now saying it is just right, which can not only win her trust and prevent herself from betraying the other party, but also win a friend to deal with Shui Yunjian together.

"So, are you willing to come with me now?" said Yu Pixiu.

"Did I say I'm going with you?"

"Shouldn't we discuss how to deal with Mizuunma?"

"I'm Lin Renzhao's personal bodyguard now, and I still have something to do, if you have any moves, just come to Lin Mansion to find me. "Since the other party's plan is not to directly take Lin Renzhao's life, then there is no need for him to hide and protect Lin Renzhao. Dao Xi threw down a sentence and turned to leave.

Yu Pixiu looked at Dao Xi in puzzlement, she didn't expect Dao Xi to be Lin Renzhao's bodyguard, so she asked, "Since you want to protect Lin Renzhao, why do you want to return?"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Dao Xi, "I promised a friend to protect Lin Renzhao from being assassinated by you, but I didn't promise that if the emperor wanted to kill him, I would protect him." ”

Jade Pixiu felt that she couldn't understand Daoxi, and his behavior seemed so contradictory. But seeing that he did not stop himself from stealing Lin Renzhao's portrait, Yu Pixiu was no longer puzzled. Since it was decided to pull him on board, at least mutual trust should be achieved.

"Tomorrow weeping willow building, I hope you can come. ”

Daoxi didn't expect that he would one day cooperate with Jade Pixiu. Emotionally, although he does not hate Jade Pixiu, he also has no good feelings. Cooperating with Jade Pixiu was a choice he had no choice. One reason is that he didn't expect that the second brother Shui was invisibly captured by that Shui Yunjian, and the other reason was that he didn't want Bianliang to regard him as an enemy.

When I returned to the Lin Mansion, it was already early in the morning, and when I walked into the courtyard, I saw that Lin Renzhao had actually woken up and was sitting alone in the courtyard drinking alcohol.

"Master Daoxi, are you back?" Seeing Daoxi walk in, the distress on Lin Renzhao's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he looked at Daoxi with peace of mind.

"Why doesn't General Lin rest?" Dao Xi said in surprise, thinking that Lin Renzhao was worried when he found out that the portrait had been stolen.

Lin got up to relieve himself, but he didn't see the master, thinking that the master would say goodbye. Lin Renzhao said embarrassedly.

I see, Dao Xi shook his head with a wry smile. Is his character so bad, just after going out for a while, he is thought to be a person who does not keep his promises and is irresponsible.

"The general can rest assured, since the little monk has promised the general, he will definitely protect you. Dao Xi was very empty when he said this, if he let Lin Renzhao know that he didn't stop Bianliang's meticulous work from stealing his portrait and plotting against him, would he still care about his own protection.

"In fact, Lin has put life and death matters aside, but he is very close to the master, and there are still many doubts to ask the master. Seeing the master leave, Lin was inevitably lonely. Lin Renzhao looked at Dao Xi sincerely, he didn't really care if Dao Xi could protect himself, but he didn't want to finally meet someone who could be a confidant in this Jinling City, so he left. Since coming to Jinling, he feels that he is incompatible with this happy court and this peaceful national capital, and he is very lonely.

Hearing Lin Renzhao's heartfelt words, the guilt in Daoxi's heart became heavier and heavier, and he almost couldn't help but want to rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion and destroy the portrait. It's just that if he really does this, he is afraid that he will change history and attract more variables. If Zhao Kuangyin, who was so harmful, did not successfully destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty and unify the Central Plains, wouldn't he be sorry for the dying trust of the master who had ascended to Bliss?

A person's life and death are really nothing compared to the well-being of all the people in the world. Although the Song Dynasty has been suppressed by foreign races in the north for 300 years, what is indelible is that the Song Dynasty has a developed economy and the people are rich.

Dao Xi suppressed the impulse in his heart, biting his lip, he didn't dare to look at Lin Renzhao directly, but pretended to glance at the moonlight hanging high in the night sky with a deep look, and then stabilized his mood before he said slowly: "It is really a little monk's luck to have the general's love." The general is relieved for the time being, and with the talent of the general, there will be a day when he will shine. If the general can't sleep, the little monk has a question that he wants to ask the general for advice. ”

"I don't dare to ask for advice, and the master might as well speak up if he has something to say. Lin Renzhao had long lost his sleepiness, and when he saw that Daoxi wanted to talk to him, he couldn't ask for it. Daoxi's current image in his mind is that of a talented and thoughtful person who is very compatible with himself.

If Dao Xi knew that Lin Renzhao saw him like this in his heart, with his character, he would have rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to destroy the portrait. But now, Dao Xi thought of another way to save Lin Renzhao, a hero who took him as a confidant.

"The little monk has a poem that he wants to chant to the general. Daoxi thought for a while and said.

"Master, please speak. ”

Lin Renzhao didn't know why, but he wanted to come to Daoxi without a target, so he couldn't help but be curious.

"During the 100-year-old world, heroes were born laughing at Huashan. The Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty were unified, and the moon and remnants of the stars were full of sky. Wenzhi is in a prosperous era, and his martial arts are magnificent. During the banquet, the glass of wine sells the king's spirit, and the water flows through the swallow. ”

Dao Xi recited Zhao Kuangyin's "Yongshi" poem, and then looked at Lin Renzhao with burning eyes, "Has the general ever heard this poem?"
