Chapter 50: Smooth Descent (Part II)
Master Yuhui looked at the costumes of the two people, and said with a smile: "Master Dugu, the current appearance of the two of you is a little indistinguishable even from the old man, and it is expected that those sergeants who have not seen your true face will definitely not be able to recognize you." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Linxin asked, "Master, will we leave now?" Li Yao continued: "I ordered the caravan to stay at the inn at the bottom of the mountain yesterday, so they are ready to go, just wait for the master to speak." ”
The mage nodded, looked at the sky again, and said: "Well, calculate the time, the abbot of Tongwu must be coming this way at this time, we will go down now, just enough to meet him, and then the old man and the two will cover you to go down the mountain safely, but it is just right." ”
So, Master Yuhui and Li Yao walked slowly to the front, while Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin were mixed in the several guards that Li Yao took up the mountain, following behind, and three or four little monks also followed behind the mage, and a group of more than ten people walked slowly down the mountain.
When I arrived near the intersection, I saw a lot of Jin soldiers and Five-Color Sect killers setting up roadblocks and standing there to check pedestrians. Seeing the mage and his party approaching, one of the killers shouted first, "Stop, what are you going to do?"
The master folded his hands and replied: "This lord, the poor monk is the abbot of this cave temple, this Li Shizhu offered incense in this temple yesterday, and plans to go down the mountain to return today, and the old man specially gave her a ride. ”
The killer looked at the two of them carefully, didn't see anything unusual, waved his hand, and another killer ran over: "Fourth brother!"
"Go, identify them one by one, and see if there is a kid surnamed Dugu and a chick surnamed Zhang. ”
"Yes!" the killer walked over and began to carefully identify them one by one, and when he walked in front of Kenshin and the others, he didn't stop for long, just glanced at them and walked straight over. The killer looked at everyone and reported back: "Fourth brother, I didn't find those two, they were both monks and family members. ”
The killer from earlier glanced at it a few more times and nodded, "Well, okay, let's go." Venerable Yuhui thanked him, "Amitabha, then thank you." ”
Several Jin soldiers moved away and refused to pass, and were about to let a group of people pass, everyone thought that it would be so easy to pass, and they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
At this moment, there was a "Slow!" from behind him, "Slow!" The mage looked back, but it was Ge Yifan! I saw Ge Yifan walking down the mountain with four or five people, and he walked up to the mage with a smile, "Master Abbot, I didn't expect us to meet again." The master chanted a Buddha name: "I don't know what is the matter with the adults?"
Ge Yifan's eyes searched the crowd, and he asked casually: "Is the master going down the mountain at this time to give someone away?" The mage replied: "Exactly, this Li Shizhu, whom the Lord saw last night, is preparing to go on the road to the grassland today. ”
"Oh, Shopkeeper Li is leaving so soon?"
"Back to the adult, it is exactly, the grass people still have a large family to feed, this person eats horses and chews, and if he delays for a day, he will spend a lot of silver, which is really unaffordable. ”
"Shopkeeper Li, are these your buddies?" asked Ge Yifan, pointing at the guards.
"Lord Hui, they are all grass people's buddies, you know, this year has not been peaceful, and the grass people have to hire more people to guard the caravan. ”
"In that case, presumably the names of these people, Shopkeeper Li, must be able to call them all?"
As soon as Ge Yifan said this, everyone secretly said in their hearts that it was not good, as long as he separated the two of them to ask, he was afraid that he would soon be exposed! Li Yao hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "This, my lord, you also know that although the grass people are the shopkeepers, they will not say that they will bow down to everything, and there are some things that are still done by the people below." ”
"Shopkeeper Li, you went to the grassland to do business this time, seeing that your convoy under the mountain was loaded with so many boxes, this is not a small amount, if you don't understand the situation of these people clearly, you dare to take them on the road at will?" Ge Yifan's words are indeed reasonable, if it is really an ordinary businessman to do such a big deal, if he does not invite the guard of the dart bureau, then the people he brought must know the root before daring to use it. But Li Yao is not a real businessman, she just came to buy horses, most of the people she brought were soldiers under Li Ying, how could she recognize them all? Not to mention that there were Dugu Jian and Zhang Lin in the middle, if there was a little mistake, I was afraid that everyone would fall here!
Li Yao was a little anxious in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer. Suddenly saw Zhang Linxin standing in front of him, and said to Ge Yifan: "The lesson of the adults is that these things are all handled by Lin Xun, the account keeper of the grass people, he has been following the grass people for more than ten years, and the work has always been reliable, and the grass people are still trustworthy." As she spoke, she beckoned to Zhang Linxin, "Mr. Lin, please come over!"
Zhang Linxin reacted very quickly, and immediately understood Li Yao's plan, and immediately walked over, bowed to Ge Yifan and said, "Grass people Lin Xun see your lord." Ge Yifan stared at Lin Xun and said, "Mr. Lin, it seems that you are from Jiangnan when you listen to the accent, right?"
"Oops, I just wanted to list Dugu Boss and Miss Zhang separately first, but I forgot that their accents would arouse suspicion!" Li Yao secretly said in her heart that it was not good, she originally intended to introduce Zhang Linxin from the crowd first, and then she would clarify Dugu Jian's identity. In this way, the rest of the people will be introduced by others, so there will be no problem, and it will not arouse Ge Yifan's suspicion, but she neglected the accents of the two.
In this case, if Dugu Jian is lured out again, I am afraid that it will arouse Ge Yifan's suspicion even more. Now it depends on whether Zhang Linxin can get the matter over.
Zhang Linxin didn't know that his accent aroused Ge Yifan's suspicions, and he lowered his head again, "Lord Qiyu, the grass people live in Lin'an Mansion, ten years ago, the army went south, and the grass people fled with their families to avoid the war, and their parents were unfortunately killed. ”
Ge Yifan stared at her and said, "Mr. Lin, raise your head." "It seems that this old thief is still suspicious of us, there is no way, if it doesn't work, there is only a desperate fight!" The girl's hands squeezed tighter and tighter, and slowly raised her head. The Dugu sword over there also slowly raised his hand, ready to pull out the long sword behind him to attack at any time. And Li Yao and Master Yuhui also sweated, and Li Yao quietly gestured, ready to fight.
At this moment, suddenly a golden soldier shouted: "What person!" This time, it attracted everyone's attention. I saw a few monks walking down the mountain, led by an old monk, wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe, very tall, with white eyebrows and beards, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and walking slowly with four or five monks. When Master Yuhui saw the visitor, he was overjoyed: "This is a big deal!"
Looking carefully at the old monk's pace, he was extremely calm, and between his breath and breath, he was also very disciplined, and it seemed that he was a master! And the few monks behind him seemed to be not weak in kung fu, Ge Yifan was very puzzled in his heart: "Why did a monk with such a high martial arts come out at this moment?" He shouted at the old monk: "Monk Wuna, where did you come from?"
The old monk walked closer, folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, this lord, the old man is enlightened, and he is the abbot of the Zhonghua Yan Temple in this city. ”
"Ah, it's the Master of Enlightenment!" Many Jin soldiers who believed in Buddhism heard the name of the abbot of Enlightenment, and they all saluted to the abbot, chanting "Amitabha." "Why do you say that?
It turned out that this master of enlightenment was a monk with a way, when the Jin soldiers captured Datong, he once entered the Jin camp alone, persuaded the main general of the Jin army Wanyan Zonghan (Note 1) not to slaughter the city, Zonghan felt his sincerity, so he strictly ordered to restrain the army not to act recklessly, and later although it was said that many places inside and outside the city were affected by the war, but the entire Datong City was basically preserved, thanks to the work of the master of Tongwu.
Later, the plague broke out in Datong, killing and injuring countless people and animals, and the master of enlightenment searched in many ways, and finally prepared a medicine to restrain the plague and save hundreds of people. Therefore, the people in the Datong area and many herdsmen on the grassland are grateful to the enlightened master and regard him as a living Buddha.
Although Ge Yifan didn't know the reason, when he saw the respectful appearance of those soldiers, he understood that this monk was not small. Therefore, he also put away his contempt, and replied: "It turned out to be a master of enlightenment, I don't know what the master is doing here?"
Here, Li Yao, Dugu Jian, Zhang Linxin and others were also very happy to hear the master's name. I only heard the master reply: "Lord Hui, the old man is here today to discuss Buddhism with the abbot of the cave temple on the mountain, Master Yuhui, I don't know what your lordship has to say?"
There was already a killer here who informed Ge Yifan about the master, he looked at the master with a smile, and replied: "Don't dare, I'm just searching for fugitives here today, don't dare to block the master's way, master please." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.
Master Tongwu walked slowly to Master Yuhui and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I don't know what to do here?" Master replied: "So that Senior Brother knows that this Master Li Shi came to this temple yesterday to make incense, so he specially sent her away." It's just that this adult blocked the way, saying that he was searching for fugitives and was checking on Li Shizhu and his party. The master looked at Li Yao, and then said to Ge Yifan: "Amitabha, dare to ask your lord, I don't know if there are fugitives in this Li Shizhu and his party?"
Ge Yifan replied with a smile: "Master, I have just arrived here, and I haven't had time to inspect it yet." At this time, one of Jin Bing's junior colonels replied: "Dare to call the master, we have already looked at them one by one, and we have not found any fugitives to be wanted." It's just that this Mr. Ge has just arrived, and he doesn't know the situation, so he wants to check again. "That little colonel is the henchman of the Jin general Wanyan Xiege stationed in Datong, Brother Xie's is the grandson of Zonghan, and he looks down on Ge Yifan and others very much, but Ge Yifan's five-color order is cast by the generalissimo Jin Wushu, and can mobilize less than 1,000 soldiers and horses. When Brother Xie saw the token, he didn't want to cause more trouble. Therefore, he agreed to send soldiers and horses to obey Ge Yifan's dispatch, but he sent his henchmen to follow each department, and this was the case with the little colonel.
(Note 1: Wanyan Zonghan's real name is sticky and not drunk, and his Chinese name is the well-known sticky Han.) )
