During the meal, Xiao Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the concubines always feel that you have something in your heart, so you might as well speak out and listen, and you can also let the five concubines share their worries with the emperor." Fei'er asked: "Your Majesty, is it for the sake of Xuzhou, the war in Banzhou?" Tianxiao nodded and said: "The war at the border is extremely cruel. A few days ago, Banzhou was almost broken by the Ming army, but fortunately, my soldiers were brave, the people participated in the war, and the old and young sent food to the water city wall, which kept Banzhou City. In addition, Longqing was originally short of grain in the country, but now it is in the midst of war, foreign grain cannot come in, and the whole country is extremely short of grain, and many people have used wild vegetables to fill their grain and send all the grain at home to the barracks.

Five mothers, I want to go out to get food, but I can't bear you, so I'm worried. The Jade Rakshasa smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although you go out to get food, the concubines and the four sisters go to Xuzhou and Banzhou to beat the drums in person to boost morale and serve Longqing." Guo Jian also said: "Your Majesty, food is the foundation of Longqing, and the people are already like this, so the five concubines will naturally not sit in the palace." If the kingdom is broken, then there is nothing left. Tianxiao was very comforted when he heard this, so he got up and said, "Since this is the case, then I can't take care of you, so I'll leave immediately." Then he took off his dragon robe, put on a brocade robe, and put the gold silk soft armor on the table for the five maidens. He took a stack of large silver tickets and more than 100 taels of silver, picked up a gun and a sword, and glanced at the five ladies affectionately before flashing out.

Leaving Longqing, Tianxiao Road doesn't care about idle things. The black horse elephant understands the master's heart, gallops with his hooves up, catches the moon with stars, and travels day and night. When he arrived in Shizhou, he didn't care about going to Zhao's house to visit his sister and Hu Yanying, greeted Zhao's mother, and went straight to the main altar. Seeing that Zhao Shun was there, he said: "Longqing is at war with the 330,000 army of the Ming Dynasty, the food in the country is tight, and the people have used wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. I still have to rush to Baoning Mansion to find the Zhao Hall Master of the Dragon Slaying Sect Wei Peng Hall, so I won't go to your house, and I won't eat and drink at your place. Greet your mother, my sister-in-law on my behalf. and Hu Yanying. "Don't wait for Zhao Shun to speak. He got on his horse and left, which can be said to be in a hurry, coming and going.

It was already the third watch day when he arrived at Boryeong Mansion, and Tianxiao found the location of Weipeng Hall. A sharp knock on the door woke up the neighbors. Someone inside the courtyard gate shouted impatiently, "What kind of bastard is outside?" Three watches in the middle of the night. You call it a soul. I'll talk about it at dawn, go quickly, go quickly. He was angry when he heard this, and slammed the courtyard door with one palm. He led the horse into a room and looked through the moonlight outside the window, and saw that it was a kitchen, and there was a basket of vegetables on the stove, and he thought that the black horse had not eaten anything for a day and a night, so he took the basket of vegetables and came to the courtyard, and poured all the vegetables on the ground, so that the horse could eat quickly.

The brothers in the house heard the sound of breaking the door, and they were all startled, and they carried their instruments outside and surrounded Tianxiao. One of them shouted, "Where did the little thief come from, he dared to break into my Dragon Slaying Sect's Wei Peng Hall at night." You don't even inquire about who our sect leader is, and it will scare you to death if you say it. Hmph, his old man is a brocade boy who takes the life of a master. Hearing the word "old man", Tianxiao couldn't help but laugh with a "poof": "I am the boy in brocade." Your cousin, go and find me, I'm in a hurry. Besides, I have been on the road for a day and a night, and I have not eaten a bite, and my stomach is empty, and I am hungry and thirsty, so go and get some food and drink.

If there is good wine, come to an urn to quench your thirst. "The brothers had just woken up from a dream, their eyes were blank, their heads were dizzy, and they were so flustered that they didn't see who it was. At this moment, after hearing Tianxiao's words, and the night wind blew again, I realized that it was the sect leader who had arrived, and I was immediately frightened and didn't know what to do. The man who spoke earlier hurriedly threw away the big knife in his hand, knelt down on one leg and said, "Master Zu, the youngest is Ding Mao, the fourth grandson of the eighth elder and the third of the eight evils. Forget it, you also taught me the three Soul Dementor Knife Techniques. Tianxiao listened and asked Ding Mao to get up, waved his hand and smiled: "I don't blame you." If you want to complain, you can only blame me for breaking into my own Weipeng Hall in the middle of the night, disturbing the good dreams of my brothers. Seeing that the sect leader was so interesting, the brothers all laughed, and Tianxiao said to Ding Mao: "Let the brother lead the black horse to feed the horses." ”

At this time, the kitchen was also lit with oil lamps, and the brothers were busy killing chickens and sheep. The other brothers lit the ten big oil lamps in the hall, Ding Mao invited the sect leader into the hall to take a seat, and a middle-aged man suddenly knelt on his legs and said: "Sect leader, the person who scolded you for being a bastard just now is a small one." Ask the Lord to punish the smaller. Tianxiao raised his head and laughed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Get up quickly." Scold me for being a bastard, not guilty, not guilty. Then he asked Ding Mao. "What about your deputy sect master?" Ding Mao hurriedly said: "Sect master, a branch hall has been added in Hanzhong, and there are already more than three hundred brothers. Deputy Sect Leader Zhao and my grandfather all went there. Tianxiao was happy to hear this, stretched out his hand to take a bowl of herbal tea from his brother, drank it in one gulp, and said: "Ding Mao, I have something urgent to do, quickly send a few brothers out, and summon all the small leaders of the three halls and above to Weipeng Hall, I have something to discuss." Ding Mao listened and ordered the eight brothers to be divided into four and removed four places.

When chatting, seven or eight plates of delicacies were also on the table, Tianxiao was really hungry, and he devoured it on the table, gulping down and drinking, all without the demeanor of a king. In an instant, the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, the plate bottomed out, and the wine jar was empty, so he got up and patted his stomach and said, "Finally full." After re-seating, the head tilted and fell asleep, and then snoring sounded. Ding Mao knew that the sect leader must have something important pressing on his heart, so he was so greedy that he beckoned the brothers to withdraw softly. He went back to the room and fetched the quilt and put it on the sect leader, gently closed the door, found two brothers to guard the door, summoned a few small leaders together, and let the rest of the brothers go back to the room to sleep. The seven little leaders gathered in the pavilion, made an urn of wine, a few snacks, and chatted while drinking, just afraid that the sect leader could take care of it at any time if something happened. In the middle of eating, drinking, and chatting, it was dawn, and Ding Mao paid his own money to let his brother go to the street to buy chicken, duck, and fish and meat and hand them over to the kitchen, wash them and put them aside, saying that they would cook when the sect leader woke up.

In the afternoon, when I woke up, I saw that the sun was already above my head, and I went to the stable to see the black horse, and saw that there was bean cake in the manger, and there was water in the wooden basin under the trough, and I was very satisfied. When he came out of the stable and came to the courtyard, he saw that Ding Mao was supervising his brothers to practice sticks, and he didn't bother them, so he went to the open space behind the pavilion and took a horse step, sank into the dantian, and began to cultivate the flame palm.

Besides, Zhao Laoqi and the others were busy in the Hanzhong branch, and they heard a report from their brothers, saying that the sect leader rushed to Baoning in the middle of the night, and asked the little boss and above to hurry to Weipeng Hall to discuss the matter. He thought to himself, it must be that the sect leader has something important for the brothers to do, so he hurriedly gathered his men and left Hanzhong. On this way, no one dared to rest, and when he was hungry, he filled his hunger in the saddle, and only cared about whipping and greedy, and when he arrived at Boryeong Mansion, nine of the thirteen horses ran and died.

Seeing that all the big and small good players had arrived, Tianxiao said: "I treat you as brothers, so that I can rely on everyone's might." Don't hide it from the brothers, I am Emperor Shenzong's younger brother Emperor Zhu Tianxiao of Longqing. After the death of my father, when he became the emperor, he wanted to kill me completely, so I took forty-one cities called Longqing.

At this moment, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are taking our city and fighting fiercely in the area of Xuzhou and Banzhou. The land in Longqing is narrow, and there is not enough food and grass, so the people have sent their own grain to the barracks, but they themselves live on wild vegetables. Brothers, as the Emperor of Longqing and the king of a country, I should do my best in this time of crisis. I had already been to Shizhou before I came to Baoning, and asked Haiyan to help my brothers immediately get grain and transport it to Longqing to help the need. I have boasted about Haikou in front of the ministers of Longqing, saying that the brothers of the Dragon Slaying Sect are all bloody men with affection and righteousness, and they are loyal to me and have no two hearts. Now, I want my brothers to take their men to Xuzhou and Banzhou, break into the Ming military camp at night, kill people and burn food, and don't let go when I see the general. I thought that such harassment for ten or twenty days would make the Ming army exhausted and unable to fight again, so that I could relieve the siege of Longqing. I just don't know, do the brothers have the courage to do this?"

These words had already made everyone excited, making their blood rush upward, and they vowed to slap their chests red. Zhao Laoqi immediately said: "Sect Master, you can go back to Longqing to supervise the battle with peace of mind, our brother will definitely not lose your face, and he will set off today to serve the sect leader." Tian Xiao nodded and smiled: "This is very good, my heart is at peace." Everyone is my brother, this time I went to the first for safety, the second for killing the enemy, don't lose your life, otherwise I will not be happy.

After I entered the Daming Palace and met Emperor Shenzong, I came to Baoning to celebrate the brothers. Brothers, take care, I'll go. Everyone didn't force them to stay, got up and sent the sect leader out, and then sent the brothers to the branches, and ordered the brothers to go to Xuzhou and Banzhou to disturb the Ming military camp.

Tianxiao left Baoning, and originally planned to go straight to the Daming Palace to find Emperor Shenzong to reason, but thinking that the Queen Mother missed her sister Mo Ya, she also asked him if he had been to Baiyue and had seen his aunt. He couldn't answer for a while, and he was very guilty. Thinking of this, he quickly whipped his horse and passed through Baiyue.

When I arrived at Baiyue, I was only worried about the embarrassment of Shi Dachuan and Wen Jiu in their titles, and Tianxiao didn't go up the mountain, so he stayed in Xiuchuan Town first, so as not to go to Ziyunguan and let Zhong Lei lead him to Shixian Residence, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.

He handed over the horses to the Wuyue Inn guys, borrowed a pen and paper from the shopkeeper and wrote two letters, one to his senior brother Yew Daochang and his senior sister Yungu Shitai, and one to his aunt Mo Ya. Then he went out of the inn and came to Ziyunguan's post station in the town, and handed the letter to the disciple of Ziyunguan, who immediately went up the mountain after taking the letter. Tianxiao left the post station, and wanted to take a walk around the town at will. didn't want to let a group of Jianghu characters block the way at the corner of the street, and the one who took the lead was Peng Sandao, the son-in-law of the Shi family. This Peng Sandao has bright eyes, thick shoulders and a round waist, holding a green dragon knife, and when he saw the boy in brocade, he laughed and said: "Last time, I was in the ghost and did not enter, and my grandfather fell in love with the way of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, which cheapened you."
