103 Assumptions
Zhao Ji couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Zhou Tong's evaluation of this strong man Yu Shui, he didn't want this martial arts hall to recruit such good materials just after it was established, and at the same time, he had no shortage of expectations in his heart, I don't know if this disciple named Yu Shui would grow into a big master like Qiao Feng in the future.
Zhou Tong saw Zhao Ji's look of surprise, so he smiled and said: "Our Great Song Dynasty is rich in resources and densely populated, if we really choose good materials for martial arts, it is not too difficult." It's just that there has always been a tradition of self-cherishing in the martial arts, but all the profound martial arts skills are secret, and those who have endowments are not allowed to pass on, and those who have been inherited cannot be inherited. In the past, the Imperial Boxing Gym, as well as our current martial arts hall, are inclusive of all rivers and rivers, regardless of the door, as long as you continue to operate with your heart, you will naturally be able to discover more and more good materials. ”
Zhao Ji couldn't help but bow his head slightly after hearing this, in fact, it is not only martial arts, but also all the skills in the world have such problems. However, the inheritance of one family is too fragile after all, and the development is insufficient, and many of the wisdom of the predecessors have been extinct because of this, which is indeed a pity.
After learning about the recent situation of the martial arts hall, Zhao Ji remembered the business of this time. He asked Zhou Dong to choose a courtyard that had been built in the center of the lecture hall, and then asked the two monks to get out of the car and place them here. Zhou Tong and Abbot Xuanci are old acquaintances, and they don't want to meet in such a situation, so they can't help but have another greeting and sigh. And the expression of the monk Zhiguang was a little not very relaxed, and his eyes turned to look at the many settings of the martial arts hall, and he didn't know what idea he was making.
For this Zhiguang monk, Zhao Ji doesn't plan to deal with it now, this monk's teeth are very hard, and he has been staying with Abbot Xuanci, and it is not good to directly pry out the secrets on his body by force. But as long as people are in their own hands, there will eventually be some clues revealed.
Tong Guan, a eunuch who knows martial arts, is more comfortable in the martial arts hall, where people come and go, and the atmosphere alone is less lively than the flies in the inner government arsenal, I don't know how many times. In addition, with the occasional guidance of Zhou Dong's strong martial arts instructors, the eunuch's body, which was originally practiced indiscriminately, gradually recuperated. In addition, some trivial matters in the martial arts hall need to be handled by him, which makes Tong Guan feel reused, and he is also more and more grateful for the kindness of Duan Wangye.
Knowing that Duan Wang Ye was coming to the lecture hall, Tong Guan, who was originally in charge of purchasing ingredients, dropped his affairs and trotted to ask for peace. Zhao Jizheng didn't know who to arrange to guard the two monks, and when he saw Tong Guan's arrival, it was just right, so he told him to take care of the diet and daily life of the two monks and monitor their words and deeds, and the most important thing was not to give them the opportunity and channel to pass on the news in private.
After the matter was arranged, Zhao Ji returned to the other courtyard.
After returning from the Great Xiangguo Temple, Mrs. Ma did not return to the Ma family, but directly arranged for the palace to be in the palace, so that the safety was also guaranteed. Moreover, the two monks have already arrived in Bianliang City, and there is no need for Mrs. Ma to be false and wronged with the people of that organization.
After seeing Mrs. Ma, Zhao Ji asked, "This Zhiguang monk, is it from your side of the road?"
Mrs. Ma shook her head and said, "Although the slave family doesn't know much about the situation in that place, they also know some ways to screen their companions. We have our own set of gestures here, and if the other person responds with a stroke, then it is naturally a companion. When the prince was talking to the two masters, the slave family tried to probe with gestures on the side, and Master Zhiguang couldn't recognize it at all, so it should have nothing to do with that place. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Ji lowered his head and muttered for a moment. From this point of view, there should be a mastermind behind this Zhiguang monk, who is plotting to frame Qiao Feng and throw out the big secret of Xiao Yuanshan's immortality, which seems to be quite jealous of Xiao's father and son, and wants to get rid of him quickly. So is it possible that he is Murong Bo's person?
This thought welled up in his mind, combined with the situation he had grasped at the moment, Zhao Ji might as well think about it a little deeper and make a hypothesis.
Xiao Yuanshan was born in the Xi nationality of the Liao State, the Liao State is the Khitan and the Xi people share the world, the Xi people are the descendants of the Liao State, Xiao Yuanshan is the head of the Xi Shan Army, and there should be some status in the Liao State, with Murong Bo, a martial arts person who is mixed in the rivers and lakes of Middle Earth, even if he is planning to kill Xiao Yuanshan and provoke the dispute between the Liao and Song Dynasties, it is extremely difficult to fully grasp Xiao Yuanshan's whereabouts. However, according to the words of Master Xuanci and these stakeholders, they met Xiao Yuanshan and his party as soon as they left Yanmen Pass, which was too coincidental at this time. In this era, there is no mobile phone instant messaging, no GPS tracking, and even the best meeting place for the two parties in advance will be missed because of such and such emergencies.
So can it be assumed that there was also a group of people in the Liao State who had a similar purpose and wanted to get rid of Xiao Yuanshan, so they colluded with Murong Bo, and the two sides worked together to promote this conspiracy?
Of course, this is completely just Zhao Ji's conjecture, and there is no evidence to support it. If you want to find out the truth, the quickest way is to go to the Shaolin Hidden Scripture Pavilion to confront the two living dead, but Zhao Ji has just placed the abbot of Shaolin Temple under house arrest, and it is really inconvenient to visit. Moreover, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo are not good stubble, so it is better not to provoke them for the time being.
Seeing Zhao Ji's face with a deep expression, Mrs. Ma didn't dare to disturb, and waited for a while before asking, "Lord Wang, what should I do next?"
Having controlled the two monks, there is no need to keep the stronghold planted by the organization behind Mrs. Ma in Bianliang City, and Zhao Ji also plans to startle the snake to see what other schemes and resources the other party has available in the Central Plains Martial Arts, and at the same time help Ma Dayuan take revenge. But at the moment, he doesn't have much power available, most of the good hands of the beggar gang are assigned to Xixia to spy on the intelligence situation, and Zhao Ji is returning to Beijing privately this time, and the power of the government is not easy to borrow.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ji could only stand still for the time being, and he said to Mrs. Ma: "Let those people live a few more days, but Mrs. Ma, you don't need to have any more news with them." The other party has already discovered your home's house, although it is arranged inside and out, but the security is always a step behind. It is inconvenient for me to stay in Bianliang City at the moment, madam, you can live in the courtyard for the time being. When the matter is settled, what you want to do, Madam, and where you want to go, it's all up to you. ”
Mrs. Ma had a trace of sadness on her face, and said faintly: "The rootless person of the slave family, his body is like duckweed, and his only wish at the moment is to avenge his late husband, as for what will happen in the future, I really dare not think about it." ”
Zhao Ji thought for a moment, and then said: "Listening to your description, madam, that organization seems to have many secret means of contact in private. Don't move them for the time being, madam, you are in the courtyard, I will allocate some manpower to you, and you will be responsible for guarding these people nearby, if there is any side finding, you can pass it on to me directly. ”
After settling Mrs. Ma, Zhao Ji summoned Quan Guanqing again.
Quan Guanqing had left Bianliang City one step earlier and went to collect the actions of Monk Zhiguang after arriving in Bianliang, but he didn't find anything abnormal. This monk entered the city from the Nanxun Gate, and was directly led to the Xiangguo Temple by the Zhike monk of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and was immediately placed under house arrest, but he couldn't see that there was anyone in Bianliang City to answer.
The matter of Monk Zhiguang was not listed first, and Zhao Ji focused on asking about the news that the beggar gang had found in Western Xia. At present, the situation in Western Xia is not good, the nobles and relatives are fighting for power, and the people are living hard, and it is precisely because they have been oppressed and plundered that they want to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty again. At present, the Western Xia Kingdom has not seen too many troop transfers, and it is not necessary to have the confidence to plan to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty on the front line of Hengshan.
In the Great Song Dynasty, there were endless disputes over whether to go to war, and the officials themselves advocated war, but the opposition of the court ministers was also very strong, mainly because of the fear of the northern border neighbor Liao. If it only dealt with Western Xia alone, the Great Song Dynasty still had the strength to fight, but if the Liao State also joined it and fought on two fronts, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty would be a little bad.
This kind of court-to-court affair, at present, Zhao Ji can only take a look, and he really has no qualifications to put forward his own claims. He was more interested in the beggars collecting information from the Western Xia, which was not quiet now, and the royal family and relatives were fighting very enthusiastically. Originally, these upper-level battles were difficult to find out with the beggar gang, but the Yipintang created by the Western Xia royal family recruited martial arts people and gave them a chance.
Looking at these news, Zhao Ji couldn't help but make up his mind, if he wanted to further disintegrate Western Xia, he could make up his mind on the imperial concubine Li Qiushui.
