Chapter 147: Rumors
The two came to a camp tent, and Zhao Zhijing saw that this camp tent was much larger than the ordinary camp tent, and had guessed that it was Kublai Khan's king's tent.
There were still spear-wielding guards on both sides of the king's tent, and the Jinlun National Master had not been able to pass it, so he directly opened the tent curtain and walked in.
Zhao Zhijing hesitated for a moment, and followed closely.
A young man was sitting in the king's tent with a scroll in his hand, and when he saw the two entering, he got up and smiled and said, "The national teacher has come so quickly. ”
He turned to Zhao Zhijing again and continued: "I heard that the national teacher said that he is outstanding and is a rare person, I am confined to military affairs, but I have no time to entertain, don't blame the Taoist." ”
Zhao Zhijing didn't want the fourth prince who commanded countless Mongolian armies to be so humble, so he immediately had a good impression in his heart, and hurriedly saluted: "The national teacher has boasted, and the little way is ashamed." ”
He promised in his mouth that he was already secretly grateful to the Golden Wheel National Teacher.
Kublai Khan beckoned the two of them to sit down and said, "I have heard of the name of the Quanzhen Sect for a long time, but I have not had the opportunity to see it in person, I wonder if you can describe it or two?"
Zhao Zhijing agreed, he saw that Kublai Khan valued him so much, lest he say less and not show his status in the sect, not only told the head sect frankly, but also made clear the distribution of the Quanzhen sect outside.
When Kublai Khan heard this, he was overjoyed and praised: "The Quanzhen Sect really deserves its reputation, and the Taoist can occupy a high position in the sect, and he is also a powerful talent.
Zhao Zhijing sounded that something was wrong, he was here to ask for help, when would he join Kublai Khan's account?
He opened his mouth to defend himself: "The prince has a misunderstanding, and the small way is ......."
was about to continue, but he saw the Golden Wheel National Teacher secretly glancing at him, although he was puzzled, but now he was convinced by the Golden Wheel National Teacher, and he couldn't help but keep silent. I was going to wait for the account to be released and then listen to the explanation of the Golden Wheel National Teacher.
Kublai Khan was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the matter?"
When Zhao Zhijing didn't know how to answer, the Golden Wheel National Master said: "This question is still answered by Lao Gao, Zhao Daochang wants to say that he is not talented enough, and he can't afford to be praised by the prince like this." Speaking of this, he turned to Zhao Zhijing and asked, "Dao Chief." The old man didn't expect it wrong, did he?"
Zhao Zhijing had no choice but to nod yes.
Kublai Khan was relieved and said with a smile: "The Taoist has such a talent, but he is not proud of his merits, but he shows the virtue of the Taoist chief, I should pay tribute to him with wine!"
Immediately, he called the left and right guards to fetch the wine vessel and pour good wine.
Zhao Zhijing saw that the copper wine was very big, and he was a little timid in his heart, but when he saw that Kublai Khan and the Golden Wheel National Master had drunk it all, he had to smile and accompany him.
Count buckets of wine. Kublai Khan said loudly: "The Taoist is a good drinker!"
Zhao Zhijing was already a little drunk, worried that he would miss something if he drank it again, so he was busy pulling the sleeves of the Golden Wheel National Teacher.
The Golden Wheel National Master felt that he had mastered the degree, so he said to Kublai Khan: "Although Daochang Zhao has the heart to serve the prince, but now Daochang Zhao has ambitions in the Quanzhen Sect, but he can't show his talents, which is a pity. ”
Kublai Khan nodded and said, "This is the truth, I don't know what the national teacher thinks?"
The Golden Wheel National Master said: "Daoist Zhao is in the Quanzhen Sect. The reason why he succumbed to mediocrity was because he tolerated Tongmenke. If you can do the next big thing, so that everyone in the Quanzhen Sect knows the amount of Zhao Daochang's high morality, you will be able to stand out. ”
Kublai Khan said: "Since the national teacher has said this, when he has a clever plan, why not say it and hear it?"
The Golden Wheel National Master replied: "Say it and let the prince judge." It's just that this ploy is to wronged Daochang Zhao to cooperate well, so that it can work. ”

After Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi got Liu Chuxuan's handwriting, they went all the way east.
The main purpose of this trip was to negotiate with the Mongolian people, and there was no consideration at all for taking it by force, and it would be useless if there were too many people. Yiqiu and Wang each only brought one disciple with them to accompany them, so that they could run errands.
Both of them have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and there was no delay on the road, plus the speed was also fast, and they arrived near Xiangyang City in a few days.
"Senior brother, do you need to tell Jing'er about this?" asked Wang Chuyi.
Qiu Chuji was slightly moved, but after a moment of silence, he still shook his head and refused, and said: "It is very troublesome to open and close the city gate, not to mention that Jing'er is responsible for guarding the city, so let's not alarm him about the affairs in our sect." ”
At this time, although the Mongolian army has not attacked the city for the time being, the city gate is still closed, and it is not allowed to enter and exit when it is idle, and if you want to enter the city, it is indeed a little troublesome.
However, this is just Qiu Chuji's excuse, he understands the deep meaning implied in his junior brother's words, it is nothing more than wanting to use Huang Rong's strategy, otherwise Guo Jing alone, no matter how high his martial arts are, what help will he have in the army?
But Huang Rong is currently pregnant, and the delivery period is approaching, and he can't pull his face to make a pregnant woman work hard.
When Wang Chu heard this, he did not persuade much, and the two did not enter the city, so they turned north again, and when they arrived in a small town, they stopped at a small shop.
When the shopkeeper was serving, he looked at the four of them and asked, "How many Taoist leaders are from the Quanzhen Sect, right?"
Wang Chu nodded and said, "Yes, what does the little brother have to say?"
Xiao Er replied: "That's right, our shopkeeper said that this meal is free, in order to respect the high righteousness of the Quanzhen Sect." ”
Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuji glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand.
Wang Chu pressed his doubts and asked, "I don't know why the store is so gracious?"
Xiao Er replied, "Aren't you here to collect the corpse?"
"Collecting corpses?"
Qiu and Wang's hearts were both beating, and Wang Chu asked anxiously: "What kind of corpse do you collect?"
Xiao Erda was puzzled and said, "You're not here to collect the corpses, so what are you doing here?"
Qiu Chu saw that this little second was verbose, but he didn't talk about the topic, so he was going to be angry, Wang Chu hurriedly persuaded him, took out a few copper plates and handed them to Xiao Er, and said: "Trouble little brother tell us what is going on." ”
The second child was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was a little impatient when he was questioned one after another, but when he saw the copper plate, he immediately smiled, and began to talk with spittle.
It turned out that a few days ago, there was news that Prince Kublai Khan had condescended to his dignity and wanted to spend a lot of money to recruit a Taoist of the Quanzhen Sect. But that Taoist not only refused to help the Tartars kill the Han people, but also spoke foul language and insulted the prince to his face. Prince Kublai Khan, furious, cured the man of great disrespect and imprisoned him.
This news came out of nowhere, and I don't know whether it's true or not, and it was originally just a gossip among the people in the market, but then Kublai Khan ordered that a Taoist person should be beheaded in public, and that all the people could watch the execution on the same day.
As soon as this incident was combined with the previous gossip, it naturally confirmed the truth of the news, and it spread immediately.
And at this time, Qiu and Wang came here, which naturally made it not difficult for people to guess their identities, which was why the store gave away free meals just now. (To be continued......)
