"Changbai Mountain?" Xiaoyaozi muttered: "There are clouds in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there are mountains in the great wilderness. Changbai Mountain is not a salty mountain, but I have never heard of the characters of immortals in it. However, my master and I traveled through the Central Plains in the past, and now we can't afford to visit the Northland...... Anyway, if I have the heart to travel all over the countries around the Great Song Dynasty, it is okay to go north first. In short, pack your bags first and leave Kaifeng. ”

So Xiaoyaozi and Ding Yu returned to the temple, gathered three disciples and other Taoist children, announced that they were leaving Xiaoyaoguan, and took the three disciples and Ding Yu around the world.

When all the Taoist children heard this, they all panicked. On weekdays, Xiaoyaozi treats them very well, not only has a lot of money every month, but also teaches them to read and write, and some clever Taoist children will also be taught martial arts and miscellaneous learning, so they are all dead set on Xiaoyaozi, and when they hear that they are going to break up, they are both sad and worried.

It's just that Xiaoyaozi has made up his mind, but he will not change his mind because of a group of Taoist children, but he is very well-connected, whether it is the abbot of the main temple of Taoism or dignitaries, he knows a lot, so it is easy to find a good place for all Taoist children.

As for the three disciples of Xiaoyao, although they were a little stunned, they followed the master anyway, and it didn't matter whether it was Kaifeng or Beidi. Only Li Qiushui spoke: "Master wants to travel around the world, and the disciple is willing to follow." It's just that not long ago, a letter came from the disciple's family, asking when the disciple's little sister will be sent to worship under the master's door, I don't know how the master will arrange it?"

was mentioned by Li Qiushui, and Xiaoyaozi also remembered it. Li Qiushui came from the wealthy Li family of Zhending Mansion, and when he became friends with the head of the Li family, he accidentally found that a pair of sisters of the Li family had excellent talents and qualifications, and they were really talented and beautiful, so he decided to accept the two sisters as disciples.

The patriarch of the Li family knew the power of Xiaoyaozi, and when he heard what he said, he hurriedly agreed. However, at that time, her sister Li Canghai was too young, her parents couldn't rest assured, and Xiaoyaozi herself didn't want to be a full-time dad, so she only accepted Li Qiushui as an apprentice, and agreed to wait for Li Canghai to be a little older in a few years, and then send Xiaoyaoguan to apprentice. Now that Li Canghai is twelve years old, the Li family wants to send her, and they wrote to Li Qiushui not long ago to ask about it.

Xiaoyaozi continued: "This is also easy to do, the Li family is in Zhending Mansion, and I happen to travel to the north, so I will go to the Li family to collect apprentices first, and then go together." ”

Li Qiushui was overjoyed when she heard this, she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl at this time, she had been away from home for many years, and she would inevitably miss it, and she was naturally overjoyed when she thought that she could go home by the way.

Xiaoyaozi acted simply, made a decision in the morning, and in the afternoon of the same day, he took three disciples and Ding Yu and drove a carriage to the north.

The news of Xiaoyaozi's departure soon spread to the upper echelons of Kaifeng. Although the Zhao Kuangyin brothers did not say a word about this matter in front of the court officials, they complained in private.

On this day, Zhao Kuangyin talked about this matter again after Zhao Guangyi's dinner. Zhao Guangyi said indignantly: "I think how gracious my brother was to the wild Taoist priest, undressing and pushing food, obeying his words, and even promising each other in the position of Xiangguo, but the wild Taoist priest actually turned his face for the sake of Hou Zhou Chai and his brother, it is really ungrateful!"

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "You can't say that. At the beginning, he was with me at the end of the world, and he repeatedly came up with strange plans to help me win in defeat, and he really contributed a lot to this country. After I won the world, he set up a hunting village to monitor the rivers and lakes for me, although I wanted to repay him, but he did not want high-ranking officials and treasures, speaking of which, I still owe him a lot. ”

Zhao Guangyi snorted and said: "My brother is too generous, according to me, such Taoist priests and monks, the unskilled are swaggering and deceiving; That Xiaoyaozi is said to have traveled all the way to the north, and he has no choice but to defect to the Liao State, and he knows very well the military situation and geography of my Great Song Dynasty, and if he surrenders to Liao, then my Great Song Dynasty will be in danger! Brother, why don't you order a blockade and imprisonment, and draw pictures to arrest and dispose of the wild Taoist priest?"

Zhao Kuangyin drank the residual wine in the cup in one gulp, shook his head and said: "Arrest Xiaoyaozi, second brother, you don't know his ability, you can stop others in the blockade, can you still stop him? Forget it, leave a line of love, and we will see each other in the future." What's more, he can't bear to lose the young son of the Chai family, so he leaves, so how can he take refuge in the Liao State and fail me?"

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Second brother, I heard that your house has been a little unquiet recently?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "Brother Lao cares. There is indeed this matter, it seems that the guards of a mansion outside my city, I don't know what to do with the Kaifeng Mansion messenger, I killed a few officials by mistake, but the murderous guard is gone, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, then Kaifeng Mansion Yin begged for people from me, where can I hand it over?"

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "If this kind of thing is handed over to Liezhuang......

Although Zhao Guangyi was not resentful, he also agreed that Liezhuang was really capable of doing this kind of thing, and he felt disappointed when he thought about it, so he said goodbye to Zhao Kuangyin, saying that he would go to the mansion outside the city to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Second brother is attentive, this matter can be big or small, if it is not handled well, it will lose the hearts of the people." ”

"The elder brother commanded right, and the younger brother would never dare to slack off. ”

Soon after Zhao Guangyi left the palace, suddenly the haze was everywhere, the weather changed sharply, and the snow and hail fell sharply, Zhao Kuangyin saw that the sky was so bad, and he was worried that Zhao Guangyi's carriage would be difficult, so he ordered the eunuch to recover Zhao Guangyi, intending to leave him in the palace for the night.

The eunuch had just gone out of the end gate, but saw Zhao Guangyi rushing back alone, the eunuch was a little surprised, but he still told Zhao Guangyi what Zhao Kuangyin said, Zhao Guangyi said: "It just so happened that I remembered something urgent to tell the official, so I rushed back alone." ”

Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhao Guangyi coming back, and said with a smile: "I and my second brother haven't talked all night for a long time, and tonight thunder and hail fell from the sky to keep guests, and the second brother accompanied me in the palace to drink and feast and talk." ”

After the third round of drinking, Zhao Guangyi said with a solemn expression: "Brother, the younger brother turned around and came back, in fact, he thought of some strange things about the Xiaoyaozi, and wanted to discuss with the elder brother. ”

Zhao Kuangyin knew that his brother was not a lie, so dignified, it must be important, so he went to the eunuch Gong'e who served and asked what was going on.

Zhao Guangyi showed a strange smile on his face and said, "Brother, before Xiaoyaozi left, he left a packet of medicinal powder for his younger brother, saying that he had newly prepared it to deal with internal strength masters. As long as you mix it in wine and take it, within a moment or three, your skills will be dissipated and you will die, even a super-first-class master like my brother is no exception. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's face changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up, wanting to ask, but he felt a strong dizziness, which made him sit back in the chair, he barely stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Guangyi, and squeezed out a subtle voice from his throat: "You...... Don't you dare...... Kill the king!"

Zhao Guangyi ignored him, and said to himself: "The best thing is that the person who has been poisoned by this poison has nothing wrong after death, and it is very similar to the person who drank alcohol. And the younger brother and I, can also take over my brother's country smoothly, brother, you say, Xiaoyaozi Daoist can concoct such a poison, isn't it wonderful!" (To be continued.) )
