Chapter 144: Retreat
In the main hall of Chongyang Palace, all the five sons are there, and Li Zhichang below is reporting, but it is about Zhao Zhijing being coerced on the way back.
This is already the fifth day after Ma Yu's death.
It was not because the five sons of Quanzhen were indifferent to Zhao Zhijing until this day that they began to inquire about it, but because the impact of Ma Yu's death on them was too great, and they had no time to care about it.
Although he has been cultivating for many years, the five sons of Quanzhen have not been able to look down on life and death, and the deep feelings of both master and brother, how can they be said to be let go?
After Li Zhichang finished speaking, Hao Datong stroked the white beard under his chin, frowned and said: "Then the Mongolian national teacher arrested Zhijing, is it really because the four princes admired my Taoist learning? I heard that Kublai Khan has been in my Central Plains for a long time, and he likes Confucianism and good scriptures, and it is very possible that he is interested in Taoism. Decades ago, Senior Brother Qiu went to the desert, wasn't it at the invitation of the Mongolian Great Khan?"
Wang Chuyi shook his head and replied: "Probably not so, then Genghis Khan was just approaching the end of the day, and he was just seeking the way of immortality, how could he really seek Taoism?
Qiu Chuji slapped his palm and responded: "Yes, the Mongolian Tartar should have something else to ask for." ”
Liu Chuxuan also nodded and said, "It seems that the Mongolian people have hit our Quanzhen Sect with their ideas." ”
He pointed out in one sentence, and everyone present immediately knew it in their hearts.
"This is difficult to deal with, Zhijing is in the Mongolian army, but how to save him?" Hao Datong asked.
"It's impossible to break in, the Golden Wheel National Master has never hurt Zhichang, and he will naturally not harm Zhijing, forcing it will only be a bad thing. As long as the Golden Wheel National Teacher has a request for Zhijing, before the goal is achieved, Zhijing should not worry about his life. There can also be room for relaxation. Qiu Chuji pondered for a moment, and Fang said slowly.
"I'm most worried about it now......" Liu Chuxuan seemed to be groaning, and it seemed a little difficult to speak, only half of what he said but stopped talking.
"Senior brother, what are your concerns?" Qiu Chuji was a little surprised when he saw Liu Chuxuan like this, and said, "No matter what difficulties there are. There is always a solution. ”
"Maybe I'm overthinking. Liu Chuxuan sighed, and continued: "Zhi Jingping has never managed the affairs of the sect, and he knows almost all the secrets in the sect. If he can keep his mouth shut, he will be lucky, although he will inevitably attract anger and suffer some suffering, but if he thinks that the Golden Wheel National Master will not be angry with the killer, and he will be the enemy of our sect. I'm afraid that by the time we come up with a solution, it'll be too late. ”
After Li Zhichang finished his return. Seeing that the uncle, the master, and all the uncles had not ordered him to leave, he stepped aside and listened quietly to the discussion.
He could understand the previous discussion, and it was not difficult to understand, but Liu Chuxuan's final conclusion made him a little confused, and he thought in his heart: "Since the head of the sect has said before that the Golden Wheel National Master will not use poisonous hands, then Senior Brother Zhao will no longer worry about his life, how can it be too late?"
Not to mention how Li Zhichang pondered. When Wang Chu heard this, his face changed, and he said, "Zhijing has been in my teaching for many years. His loyalty is commendable, and he will never do such a thing as colluding with the people and apostasy with the enemy!"
Sun Buer never spoke, but at this time he persuaded him: "Senior Brother Wang, don't be angry, Senior Brother Liu is also thinking about the safety of the whole sect." ”
Wang Chuyi shook his head and said, "I know this, how can I get angry with Senior Brother Liu?" With a determined look in his eyes, he looked at the other four people, and said, "If Zhijing really makes a mistake, I will personally deal with it according to the canons!"
Qiu Chuji said: "This point must be guarded against, and nothing else. The mere leakage of the inside information about the distribution of forces and the placement of personnel in various cities and towns can put our religion in an extremely dangerous place. ”
Hearing this, Li Zhichang, who was still frowning and thinking hard, suddenly realized: "It turns out that the word 'late' does not mean that it is too late to save Senior Brother Zhao's life, but that the secrets in the sect are leaked. ”
The power of the Quanzhen Sect is widely spread throughout the north, and if it is used by the people, it can not only confuse people's minds, but also greatly benefit the siege of cities. On the contrary, the Quanzhen Sect will surely become a great enemy of the people, and I am afraid that one day in the future it will be trampled by a large army.
Liu Chuxuan stood up at this time, paced for a moment, and said: "We can't leave anything to chance, and Quanzhen can't tolerate any risk, without further ado, we should immediately summon all the branches, prepare for retreat, and find a suitable place to avoid!"
Qiu, Wang, Hao, and Sun all agreed that it should be.
"As for the rescue of Zhijing...... Liu Chuxuan groaned slightly, and said: "You can negotiate with the Mongolian people for the time being, and I will repair a letter later, send it to the Mongolian people, and test the meaning of the Mongolian people first." ”
"I'll do that. Qiu Chuji said.
Dealing with the Mongolian people is indeed the most suitable Qiu Chuji, with the legacy of Genghis Khan, even if Kublai Khan sees it, he must be polite.
"This trip will inevitably be dangerous, so I'll go with my senior brother. Wang Chuyi also said.
"Then let's settle it. Liu Chuxuan nodded in agreement.
The high-level leaders of the Quanzhen Sect secretly discussed and planned, and Zhao Zhijing, the owner of everything, was in a very happy state of mind at this time.
On the same day, he was captured by the hands of the Golden Wheel National Teacher, and because of the latter's might, he fully agreed to the invitation of the Golden Wheel National Teacher and entered the Mongolian army camp.
At first, he was still a little worried, lest he be killed by someone, even when he was sleeping, he would not leave his side.
But what he feared never happened, and not only that, but he was also warmly treated, and his daily meals and drinks were very rich, and the attitude of the guards was also respectful, and he was even more responsive to his needs, so that he enjoyed an unprecedented glory and vanity, and if it were not for the fact that there was still a little sober thought in his mind, and knowing where he was, there would have been some thoughts of staying for a long time.
However, he also knew that the Golden Wheel National Master coerced him here, and he would not just keep him as a bodhisattva, and after asking the guards several times to no avail, he had to wait patiently.
Sure enough, on this day, he heard some movement outside the tent, and then someone asked outside the tent: "Can Daoist Zhao enter?"
After hearing that it was the Golden Wheel National Teacher, Zhao Zhijing couldn't help but slander: "I have been taken into the military tent, what are you pretending to be now?" But he wanted to think about it, so naturally he didn't have the courage to refuse, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master, please come in and talk about it." ”
The Golden Wheel National Master entered the account and took a look, seeing that the cups and plates were in a mess, he was secretly happy in his heart, and thought: "The results of the past few days have been reported by the guards, this Taoist is a person who is greedy for comfort and pleasure, so things are easy to do." ”
"I don't know if the master came over today, and he won't have time to clean it up. As a cultivator, Zhao Zhijing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it can be seen that Daochang Zhao is a person who is not in the ordinary, and the old man has a sense of familiarity when he sees it. Jinlun National Teacher said.
Zhao Zhijing saw that he was a dignified national teacher, and turned over like this, and couldn't help but be very useful in his heart, and asked: "Master, please sit down, I don't know what to say to me here?" (to be continued......)
