Dao Yan hopes that Ye Cheng can obey Chengzu Zhu Di's arrangement, but in fact, he also has another layer of his own deep meaning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause after long-term observation, Dao Yan found that among Chengzu's three sons, Zhu Gaochi was cowardly, Zhu Gaochu was violent, and Zhu Gaosui was mediocre, and none of them could have the courage and ability of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di to shoulder the fate and rise and fall of the entire Ming Empire.

When he learned that Ye Cheng turned out to be Zhu Di's fourth son, he had an idea, hoping that he could also be among the heirs of the Ming Dynasty, because in Daoyan's opinion, Ye Cheng was far better than his three elder brothers.

So when Ye Cheng nodded and agreed, not to mention three conditions, that is, thirty, Dao Yan was also willing to give it a try.

"Shaoxia, please speak. Although Dao Yan's heart was surging, his words were always calm.

"First, I am helping the people of the world, not today, and if it is done, it is up to me to decide what to do, not you. Ye Cheng began to make his request.

"Going against a person's wishes, even if it is done, it is tasteless, and the twisted melon is not sweet, this truth is still understood by the poor monk. Dao Yan replied.

Ye Cheng saw that Dao Yan agreed to his first request, so he continued: "Second, let go of Chen Zongyuan and the others who were captured from Sanfo Island, the first evil Chen Zuyi has already been punished, and many of the rest of the people are forced to do so or kept in the dark, and it is useless to kill more. ”

Dao Yan twisted his beard and said: "There are a lot of prisoners on Sanfo Island, as Shaoxia said, the first evil has been punished, as for the others, it needs to be judged by the imperial court, and if it is not my Dao Yan, I can take it alone, but the poor monk can assure Shaoxia that Chen Zongyuan can not be killed." ”

Ye Cheng also felt that it was a little difficult to let Dao Yan decide the life and death of so many people alone, and when he saw that he had promised to release Chen Zongyuan, he was relieved, and felt that he was at least worthy of the dead Hu Sanxiao and Hua Niang.

"The younger generation has thanked me here, this third article is that if Emperor Jianwen is obtained by Ye Cheng, the escort responds to the queen of heaven and cannot be killed in vain, and must be treated with good gifts and ensure that his life is worry-free, otherwise Ye Cheng will become an executioner, and he will have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life. ”

Dao Yan said with a smile: "Please rest assured that your father is the uncle of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen after all, and the family relationship is difficult to break, as I said, looking for him is not to harm him, but to protect him." ”

Ye Cheng saw that Dao Yan's three conditions had been agreed, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Seeing that Ye Cheng had already said it, Dao Yan couldn't help but nod and said: "That's it! None of the three conditions proposed by Ye Shaoxia are for himself, which can really be said to have the world in mind, which makes the poor monk very admired." ”

Ye Cheng said with a smile: "Isn't it for yourself for the sake of the world? ”

When everything was properly discussed, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly eased, and the three of them chatted easily, which was naturally not what it was at the beginning.

As he chatted, Dao Yan liked the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and found that he had a positive and optimistic attitude in the face of any difficulties, which even he Dao Yan himself could not do.

"When the young man took turns competing with Gou'er and Yi Gongjin that day, the poor monk saw that your martial arts seemed to be too drunk and too white. It's just that the poor monk said bluntly, the young man's martial arts are still too lacking in changes, could it be that Lu Li only taught you a set of martial arts?" The two chatted and chatted, and then talked about the competition on the day of the celebration banquet.

Ye Cheng said with a smile on his face: "The seniors are really as wise as a torch, and the juniors are indeed the seniors of the teacher, but they are ashamed to say that they have not learned from the master for a long time, so only the 'Dream Palm' is quite proficient." ”

Dao Yan twisted his beard in his hand, nodded and smiled.

Zhong Qing has been listening to the two of them talking, and the two of them have chatted about the world and the common people, she is not very interested, but when it comes to Ye Cheng's martial arts, Zhong Qing immediately wants to seize this opportunity, so she hurriedly interjects: "Yes, yes!" Brother Ye tossed and turned over for a few moments, when he was on Chongming Island, he was already in danger, and when he arrived at Cangming City on Sanfo Island, he almost lost his life, seeing that he was about to set off to find Emperor Jianwen, thinking that the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the rivers and lakes, how could the danger be several times that of those small islands, so Qing'er estimated that he had not found Emperor Jianwen yet, and he was about to disappear. ”

Ye Cheng smiled puzzledly: "Qing'er, why are you so pessimistic, didn't I survive everything?"

"Yes, you survived, but Qing'er almost didn't survive. You can't beat the masked guest in the hut on Chongming Island, so I will be locked up in the dungeon, and when I get to Sanfo Island, I will be locked up in the Yingbao Hall and then in the Fengming Cave. In the past few months when I have been out with you, I have been locked up more times than I have in my life, and if I go to the rivers and lakes to find Emperor Jianwen, Qing'er doesn't know how many times I will be locked up. Zhong Qing said deliberately unhappy.

Before Ye Cheng could speak, Dao Yan smiled slightly: "Miss Zhong, then what do you think, you might as well talk about it." ”

Zhong Qing turned angry at this time and said with a smile: "Senior mage, your martial arts are outstanding, and you are also one of the famous six heroes in the rivers and lakes, and our master is not here, this river and lake are sinister, if the two of us lose our lives because of our poor martial arts, it will be a big matter to delay the task assigned by you and the imperial court." What's more, the person who defeated us will still say that there is no one in the imperial court, how can you send someone with such poor martial arts to come out, won't it be even more insulting to the imperial court?"

Dao Yan finally couldn't help laughing, he didn't speak to Zhong Qing first, but turned his head to Ye Cheng and said: "What do you say about the poor monk, the young man is so blessed, he can find a good girl like Miss Zhong as his companion, you see how much she cares about and loves you, and thinks about you everywhere." ”

Ye Cheng was a little embarrassed when he said this, but he felt very happy and sweet in his heart.

"Miss Zhong, you have said so much around and around, isn't it actually just to let the poor monk teach your brother Ye a few kung fu?" Dao Yan turned to Zhong Qing again.

"Oh, it's not a loss to the Six Heroes, I was broken by your words, Qing'er still didn't dare to say it explicitly, since you also said it, Qing'er will dare to ask for it again. Zhong Qing pretended to be surprised and overjoyed.

Dao Yan said with a smile: "If anyone has a ghost elf girl like you as a companion, it is really a blessing from the previous life, but the poor monk Ye Shaoxia is willing to learn the martial arts, and he has to listen to his opinion, otherwise isn't it wishful thinking?"

Ye Cheng understood what Zhong Qing meant at this time, and couldn't help but feel difficult.

Zhong Qing couldn't help but be anxious when she saw this, and said to Ye Cheng: "Brother Ye, Qing'er spent so much time to get the consent of Daoyan's seniors, if you hesitate again, won't it be in vain for me to put my mind in vain?"

Dao Yan waved his hand at Zhong Qing and said, "Miss Zhong, don't worry, the poor monk understands Ye Shaoxia's concerns. ”

"The mind of the seniors guiding the juniors?" Ye Cheng asked curiously.

"Naturally, I know that the young man is afraid that as Lu Li's apprentice, he has learned the martial arts of a poor monk, and he will not be able to tell when he sees his master in the future. Dao Yan stroked his beard and smiled.

"Positive...... Precisely. Although Ye Cheng replied so, he thought that Dao Yan, who was a supreme minister and one of the six heroes of the rivers and lakes, could bend down to teach him martial arts, and he was still worried about reluctance, which was really a little unfortunate.

Dao Yan saw Ye Cheng admit it angrily, so he said: "Young man don't have to worry, the poor monk and the respected teacher have had a relationship, and they have been friends with each other for a long time, and they cherish each other, if you say that I taught a little martial arts in the future, he will not only not be surprised, but will also be happy for you." Moreover, earlier, the poor monk had already demonstrated his martial arts to the young man. ”

"Show it to me, why don't the juniors know it at all?" Ye Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

"Shaoxia might as well recall, did you feel a little strange when you competed with Yi Gongjin at the celebration banquet?" Dao Yan asked with a smile.

Ye Cheng has actually been thinking about the scene of the day these days, but he felt that there was constantly power behind him to help him perform his moves, and when he was puzzled, he heard Dao Yan say this, so he exclaimed: "That day, the juniors fought against him, and I don't know what happened, suddenly the opponent's moves became extremely strange, as if my skills had increased greatly, and I was struggling left and right when I suddenly felt a force behind me to help me......"

As Ye Cheng spoke, he found that Dao Yan couldn't help but smile and nod on the side, and immediately woke up, Huo Ran stood up and said, "Is it the senior who is helping me?"

Dao Yan laughed and said: "It is the old monk who helps the young man with his strength in the imperial qi and wine. ”

"I said why do you feel the smell of alcohol all over your body after the competition, I see! The martial arts of the seniors are really unpredictable, and they can use their internal force to do this, and the juniors are really admiring the five-body throwing to the ground!" Ye Cheng immediately bowed.

Dao Yan also stood up and waved his hand and said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, why worry about it, if it weren't for seeing Zhuang Liechen on the other side use such a trick, the poor monk would definitely not make a move." ”

"Zhuang Daxia is also ......? The younger generation understood, it turned out that Yi Gongjin suddenly became weird that day, and it was Zhuang Daxia who helped him later. Ye Cheng finally understood what happened that day.

Dao Yan Zhengse said: "This ability to resist qi is not a profound means, and there are not a few masters in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, but it is extremely difficult to master the strength and accuracy. Moreover, the imperial qi is not only about the qi, but also the coordination of the power of the upper and lower minds of the body, which can not be achieved overnight, but also requires the guidance of famous teachers and the practitioner's own understanding, and there are very few in the rivers and lakes that can reach the highest realm. ”

"As the seniors said, the younger generations are also extremely willing to learn in their hearts. Ye Cheng replied respectfully.

"That's great! That's right, Brother Ye, if you learn the martial arts of Daoyan's predecessors, it will be much easier for us to walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and Qing'er won't have to be afraid." Zhong Qing stroked her palms and said with a smile.

"Qing'er, it turns out that you have been scared with me?" Ye Cheng said deliberately and jokingly.

Zhong Qing grimaced at Ye Cheng, then looked at Ye Cheng, and then looked at Dao Yan. Ye Cheng immediately held a meeting, fell down and bowed down: "Thanks to Daoyan's predecessors who do not give up, they are willing to teach the stubborn, although Ye Cheng has a mentor and cannot worship another teacher, but the kindness of the predecessors must always be remembered and never forgotten." ”

After that, Ye Cheng touched his head to the ground and kowtowed a few times, and the Daoyan monk smiled and helped him up, and said: "Now the undercurrent in the court is surging, and it is not as peaceful as you see, not to mention that now your identity has been known by Chengzu, as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, and if you can't keep it, it will be known by more people one day, and at that time, the poor monk is quite worried about your safety." Therefore, this time, the poor monk will first teach you the essentials and formulas, and after you are familiar with it, you will practice diligently in the rivers and lakes, which will be of great benefit. ”

Immediately, after Ye Cheng agreed, the three of them could not coach in the deep courtyard of this palace, and finally Master Dao Yan thought of a good place to go, which was to be optimistic about the gods on the outskirts of Tianfu.

Many people, including Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, know that although Dao Yan is a disciple of Buddhism, he is not rigid, but Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are well understood and learn from each other's strengths, so it is not surprising that as a Buddhist sect to visit Taoism.

But for Ye Cheng, God's optimism has another taste.

On the evening of this day, after Dao Yan finished handling government affairs, he instructed Zhou Quanhaosheng, the housekeeper in the house, to take care of the affairs of the house, and if outsiders came to see him, he would block them back, and took advantage of the moonlight to go out of the city gate with Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing, and went to the suburbs optimistically.

In order not to attract attention, Dao Yan also made a careful dress, wrapped the top of his head with a turban, and changed into the disguise of the people in the rivers and lakes, which was very different from the Dao Yan mage above the court.

As the three of them walked, Zhong Qing asked curiously, "Brother Ye, are you okay?" Why do I see that your mood seems to be a little uncertain?"

"I've been here many times. At first, my mother brought me here, but the last time was this year, and I met Shi Nature, the leader of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and had a big battle with it, but I remember telling you about this. Ye Cheng said with emotion.

"Shaoxia has been here to be optimistic?" asked Dao Yan on the side.

Ye Cheng didn't want to hide anything from Dao Yan about this, so he told him how he was optimistic at night and saved a young monk and a few long-term workers, but he still didn't mention the true identities of Li Qi, the son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Han, Lan Ju, the son of Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, and Feng Tianlong, the son of Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song.

Dao Yan listened carefully, he naturally heard of this incense sect master stone, but he knew that he was a cult and didn't care very much, but when Ye Cheng talked about young monks, he was quite strange, after all, it was rare for him to go to a Taoist temple as a monk, not to mention that it was the day when Yingtian City was broken, and a young monk took a long job to repair the temple, which was really incredible.

"Do you remember what that monk looked like?" asked Dao Yan.

Ye Cheng replied: "I didn't care too much about it at the time, I just felt that this little monk had a delicate face, and the few long-term workers next to him were also gentle and elegant, with white skin. ”

After Dao Yan asked further, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that the monk is Zhu Yunwen, the Emperor of Jianwen?"
