Chapter 425: Meeting
Zilong naturally didn't simply believe that the prince with real power came to the Central Plains for a gift, and then asked: "I'm afraid that this is the intention on the surface, and secretly, this prince of Bar should have another way, right?"
"I don't know this!" Prince Barr's purpose for coming to the Central Plains is naturally not so simple, but Xu Zixiong is a native of the Central Plains, even if Prince Barr is not wary of him, his subordinates are also very wary of Xu Zixiong.
Therefore, the real purpose of Prince Barr's southward journey, Xu Zixiong can only know a little bit from the clues, at least he knows that Prince Barr has summoned the Sun and Moon Divine Sect headed by Yang Hu and others, but as for the specific role, he does not know.
"Okay then, you just said that he found a jade Buddha statue at the Luoyang temple fair?" Zilong still trusted his eldest brother, and found that he really couldn't get any useful news from his eldest brother, so he gradually gave up.
But suddenly, he thought of Xu Zixiong's words just now, and found that the gift that Prince Bar chose was actually a jade Buddha statue, which he had found at the Luoyang temple fair, but he remembered that time he had been to the Luoyang temple fair in order to find Wan'er.
"Yes!" Xu Zixiong nodded, and slowly introduced the jade Buddha statue.
Zilong heard that this jade Buddha statue was exactly the same as the jade Buddha statue that he had pretended to be his brother Zhengde at the Luoyang temple fair, and he immediately understood, Mr. Nayan Boyan was probably Prince Barr, and he had already met Prince Barr before, no wonder he felt strange at the time!
In an instant, he thought of the scene he had seen in the half-hidden window above the teahouse, where Prince Nabar and a strange-looking Confucian student from the Central Plains were secretly talking to something.
It seems that the strange-looking Confucian of the Central Plains is one of the purposes of Prince Barr's visit to the Central Plains.
At that moment, Zilong couldn't help but test Xu Zixiong again to see if he knew the news of the Central Plains Confucian student.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zixiong's face was embarrassed, and after a long time, he nodded and said: "I know, that person's name is Liu Yang, and he said that he is a local official in the Central Plains!
asked Xu Zixiong so much, but Zilong was worried that his eldest brother would be dragged into the water by the Bal prince and become a person who turned his back on his homeland.
At this time, hearing that the eldest brother could tell him the little news about the Confucian students of the Central Plains, Zilong had gradually confirmed that the eldest brother was still the eldest brother, and he followed Prince Barr, perhaps just to repay the prince's grace.
Thinking of this, Zilong no longer asked anything about Prince Bal, but just kept the name Liu Yang firmly in his heart, and found an opportunity to inquire in the future, which naturally made him have nothing to hide.
Now that it was confirmed that the eldest brother did not betray the country and defect to the enemy, Zilong was also relieved, so he chatted with Xu Zixiong about his daily routine.
The two of you said a word, and I said a word, and gradually the atmosphere became warmer.
Talking to each other about their experiences over the years, they are all sad about each other's past, and they gradually feel that the family relationship between the two has not decreased in the slightest with the passage of time, but because they have not seen each other for many years, they have become more and more mellow.
The two couldn't help but talk about sex, so they talked about it until the next morning, the rooster crowed, the masters in the temple got up to do morning class, rang the bronze bell, the bell fluttered away, and the Zen singing was endless, washing Zilong's tired soul.
Zilong and Xu Zixiong chatted all night, and both of them were very happy in their hearts.
Listening to the Zen singing of the rooster, Xu Zixiong suddenly said: "Zilong, the sky is already bright, you are seriously injured and are just recovering from your injuries, or you should take a rest first, and I will go get you something to eat!"
"No, big brother!" Zilong also said happily, "Since it's already dawning, I should go and see Wan'er, and visit your master by the way! After all, he can be regarded as Wan'er's life-saving benefactor, and this time he sacrificed the precious Heavenly Destiny Pill for Wan'er! By the way, where is this Heavenly Destiny Pill precious? Big brother, do you know?"
Last night, Xu Zixiong also said that Wan'er was injured by love, went crazy in practice, collapsed on the road, almost died, and was saved by Prince Bal!
Zilong also heard that this Tatar prince saved his two closest people one after another, even if he had plans for the Central Plains, he also had a heart for Wan'er, and Zilong was also ready to negotiate with this person first!
If this person is the kind of frank person, then Zilong doesn't need to be a villain in vain.
But if this person is ambitious, Zilong decided to pull the eldest brother back and no longer be subject to him.
Xu Zixiong is pure and good, although his heart is as careful as a hair, but how do he know that his younger brother has turned so many thoughts, he listened to Zilong's tone, and thought that Zilong had a good impression of his master, and immediately said: "If you ask anything else, maybe I don't know yet, but I really know the Heavenly Mandate Pill! This Heavenly Destiny Pill is made by my master, that is, the master's master Xuanyuan Po, according to the old master, this Heavenly Destiny Pill can only be refined seven in his life, and each one has a different effect!"
"You can only refine seven pills in your life, and each one has a different effect? What is the effect of Wan'er?" Zilong had already overestimated this Heavenly Destiny Pill in his heart, but he didn't expect that listening to Xu Zixiong's tone, this Heavenly Destiny Pill would be even bigger.
Zixiong looked at Zilong's incredible expression and said with a smile: "Master said that the prince is a Tatar noble, a descendant of the Golden Family, and his status is respected, but it is also very dangerous! Therefore, this Heavenly Mandate Pill that Master gave to the prince is mainly to prolong his life and maintain his appearance! Master once said that once this Heavenly Mandate Pill is taken, it can maintain the three-month birthday of the person who took the pill, and no matter how serious the injury is, even if it is natural aging, it is just as useful!" Moreover, after taking the pill, you can stay young forever, and you will not age and die until the day when your body functions are aging!"
"This ...... Isn't this tailor-made for Wan'er?" Zilong didn't expect this Heavenly Destiny Pill to be so magical, if this is true, Wan'er is eternally young and her face is not old, then it can really be said to be a blessing in disguise!
It's just this kind of life-sustaining elixir, this Prince Baal is willing to use it, obviously he really loves Wan'er, and Zilong also faintly feels a little threatened.
......
Zilong then followed Zixiong and met with Yanbo, which was also the second meeting with the third prince of Tatar, Balsborot, but what he didn't expect was in the Shaolin Temple, a famous temple through the ages!
In the oral account of the eldest brother Xu Zixiong, Zilong knew that the prince of Bar, who had a one-sided relationship, was very different from many domineering Mongolian nobles.
Therefore, seeing Prince Barr dressed as a Confucian in the Central Plains, Zilong is not too strange.
After the two of them first greeted each other and exchanged courtesies, they retreated left and right, and after the guests and hosts sat down in the wing room of this Shaolin Temple, Prince Bar said straight to the point: "Should I call you Xu Shaoxia, or the king of Hetao?"
"There is no king in the Hetao, Xu is just a general of the Hetao sealed by the imperial court, and he is supported by the herdsmen and people of the Hetao, and he is elected as the leader to protect the people of the Hetao!" Zilong said.
"General Xu is too humble!" Prince Bar saw that Zilong refused to be fooled, and recognized the name of the king of the Hetao, but he didn't care, just picked up the water cup, and after a while, he said, "But as far as Xiao Wang knows, the general of the Hetao ordered by the Ming court is General Yu Fengyu, and now Brother Xu says that he is the general of the Hetao, but I don't know why?"
Yu Feng's matter, Zilong already knew about it before he left Ningxia!
It's just that because of Wan'er's incident, he doesn't know how the follow-up progress of this matter will be!
Now that he heard Prince Bal's tone, it was as if Yu Feng had really taken office, and Zilong couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
It's just that he is no longer the young man who didn't have a city at the beginning, and after experiencing so many things, and facing this prince Baal who has no friends or enemies, he naturally won't show his true intentions.
At that moment, Zilong also smiled faintly and said: "The appointment of the imperial court, Zilong, as an official of the imperial court, is naturally fully supported! However, the people of Hetao have trust in me and me, I am afraid that I will not be able to hand over the heavy responsibility of Hetao for a while!"
Zilong's previous sentence said that he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, which meant that he refused to be wooed by Prince Barr.
The latter sentence emphasizes his influence in the Hetao, and tells Prince Baal that not only can not ignore himself, but also cannot ignore the Hetao, which means a warning.
"Haha! General Xu is really straightforward!" Prince Barr couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart at this opponent who was much smaller than himself, although this person was young, he was neither humble nor arrogant, he was justified and well-founded, and he was worthy of being a peerless talent who could overthrow the Heavenly King Sect.
Probably trying to understand Zilong's intentions, Prince Bar suddenly said again: "General Xu is not curious about Xiao Wang's trip to the south?"
"It's very curious, but this is a private matter between the prince and your country, the prince wants to say, Zilong listens, the prince doesn't want to say, Zilong can't!"
After all, Prince Bar has a special identity, the court and the Mongolian Khan court have been fighting for many years, and the Central Plains nation and the Mongolian nation have been fighting for a long time, and they have long been like the sea.
Although Zilong was very disdainful of the corrupt officials in the imperial court, he had deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty, or for the people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
He did not want to, and did not want, the conspiracy of the Mongol nobles to lead to the resumption of the war between the Central Plains and the steppe.
But now that Prince Barr is saving Xu Zixiong in front, Yiwan'er is behind, and even Ouyang Jin, who thought he was dead, was saved by Prince Barr!
Zilong owes Prince Bar too much favor, so he can only be vigilant and attentive to this enemy prince, and it is not appropriate to take action until his evil deeds are confirmed.
"Then I wonder what General Xu thinks of the current form of the grassland?" Prince Barr continued to ask.
From Xu Zixiong's return, he already understood the character of Xu Zixiong's younger brother, and knew that this person was a loyal and righteous person, and he would not expose his identity at will and put himself in danger.
