The mountain leader ordered Long Qingquan to put the caught fish into the basket and put it in. Then he stood up calmly, brushed off the dust on his body and walked slowly towards the bamboo house.
"Shan Zhang, we have to go to Junior Brother's place to help."
Long Qingquan followed suit and said very respectfully.
"I understand, just go and take care of this little thing and don't bother me to eat fish."
The mountain leader paused and said, "The fish you just caught is the most delicious. I need to stew it slowly over low heat without adding too many spices to retain its original taste. What a pity, you guys
No luck in enjoying it."
What the mountain chief said was calm and gentle, but Long Qingquan swallowed his saliva when he heard it.
He had eaten the fish cooked by Shan Chang only once, but he could never forget the taste after just one time.
It's a pity, it's really a pity this time.
But when it comes to the safety of his junior brother, Long Qingquan knows that he has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.
We can't let the mountain leader end up personally.
After all, the mountain chief is also a Confucian sage, so he still wants to save face.
If you have to deal with a few cats and dogs and the mountain chief has to deal with it personally, it would be unjustifiable anyway.
Following the mountain leader to the bamboo tower, Long Qingquan bowed respectfully, then turned around and left resolutely.
...
...
In front of the academy archway, senior sister, second senior sister, sixth junior brother, and tenth junior brother have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that Long Qingquan was late, the second senior sister Liu Yingying frowned and asked: "Third brother, why are you so lazy? Don't you know that today is the day for junior brother to do big things? If you miss something, I want to see how you explain it to junior brother
.”
Long Qingquan said helplessly: "Second Senior Sister, wasn't I accompanying the mountain leader on fishing? Those who are willing to take the bait will be taken when the mountain leader fishes. It's not like you don't know this. He fished for half an hour, and I was there to accompany him.
What else can you do?"
Liu Yingying seemed to agree with this, but she still felt a little unhappy and said: "You can always find so many high-sounding reasons."
"Third Junior Brother, has Junior Brother explained to you who the person he wants to deal with is?"
The senior sister obviously didn't want to see Liu Yingying and Long Qingquan bickering here, so she took the initiative to interrupt.
"That's not true. However, my junior brother said that the opponent's strength and status are very high, so he told me to be careful and not to underestimate the enemy."
Hearing this, Liu Yingying said with some disdain: "Junior brother, how much do you look down on the academy? Experts above the third rank will say otherwise. We will deal with as many soldiers and generals as below the third rank."
The mountain chief advocates teaching without discrimination, and the disciples accepted by Haoran Academy also develop in various directions.
But no matter how there is no distinction between education and distinction, the awe-inspiring spirit of Confucianism is condensed here.
In other words, the cultural context of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here, even ordinary people can be enlightened, let alone these practicing geniuses selected by the mountain chief.
Lao Liu was still carrying his bamboo backpack and said leisurely: "I made a divination before setting off, and the divination was excellent. Senior brothers and sisters, don't worry, we are sure to win this time."
Old Ten took out some paper figures and blew out the infuriating energy to give them life.
The paper man expanded rapidly after being blown by the true energy, and then stood up from Lao Shi's palm.
"Go ahead and explore the road first."
The paper figures seemed to have understood what Old Ten said, and they jumped up one by one and flew into the distance.
"If necessary, I can call more junior brothers and sisters to come."
Long Qingquan said in a deep voice.
"No need, we are enough."
The senior sister asserted: "If the mountain leader is not here, we will represent the academy. We must not embarrass the academy by going here."
...
...
The major military governors entered Qujiangchi Furong Garden one after another.
This historic Royal Forbidden Garden is today completely surrounded by the Imperial Guards on three levels inside and outside.
Don't call it a human being, even a fly might not be able to fly in.
Jiedu envoys must go to the banquet alone and cannot even bring their own soldiers.
Before entering the Furong Garden, they had to undergo the most meticulous search to ensure that they were not carrying swords, not even daggers.
In the past, the arrogant Jiedushi envoys at the border were as docile as lambs at this moment.
The emperor's majesty made them subconsciously restrain their sharp edges.
Wang Zhongyi is in the best and most natural condition among them.
Most of the other Jiedu envoys had arrived in the capital from various places in recent days, but he had stayed in Chang'an City since he was acquitted until the banquet was held.
Shuozhou is far away from Chang'an City, and it would take at least two or three months to go back and forth. Wang Zhongyi felt that it was not worth it.
Many of the Jiedu envoys attending the banquet were old acquaintances of Wang Zhongyi and had even worked together.
Warriors and soldiers do not have so many factions as literati, and many of them really have brotherhood.
But in Chang'an City, they can't show it too obviously.
Otherwise it will be infinitely amplified.
Even if His Majesty doesn't say anything, the imperial officials will not miss such a good opportunity to attack.
After Wang Zhongyi entered Furong Garden, he followed the guidance of the imperial army to the banquet place - Weiyang Pool.
The water area of Weiyang Pool is very large, and it is full of pavilions and pavilions.
The emperor naturally sat at the top, and there were guests on both sides.
After Wang Zhongyi sat down, he looked up and accidentally saw an old acquaintance.
Zhao Xun Zhao Mingyun.
"Wang Jiedu is here safe and sound."
Zhao Xun did not shy away and stepped forward to hug Wang Zhongyi.
"Zhao... why is Mr. Zhao Xiaolang here?"
Wang Zhongyi was slightly surprised. Can he say that this is all fate?
"I am a bad person. Bad people are responsible for guarding the emperor's safety and protecting the royal family. Naturally, they should be here."
"I see."
Wang Zhongyi nodded.
"It is Mr. Feng's blessing that bad people can have such a leader as Zhao Xiaolangjun. In recent days, Mr. Zhao Xiaolang has become famous in Chang'an City, and Wang has also heard about it. It is really a blessing for Mr. Zhao Xiaolang to win the favor of the mountain chief and be accepted into his sect.
What a blessing, congratulations to Mr. Wang."
Wang Zhongyi was grateful to Zhao Xun from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for Zhao Xun, he might have died unjustly.
The case of Prime Minister Zuo is definitely not something that ordinary people can solve. From this point of view, Zhao Xun is definitely a talent.
"Thank you, General Wang."
Zhao Xun nodded slightly, then turned and left.
He did have a good relationship with Wang Zhongyi, but they were only casual friends.
At this delicate moment, Zhao Xun really shouldn't get too close to Wang Zhongyi, otherwise it will easily be exaggerated by others and end up badly.
Emperor Xianlong was a very suspicious man. He had not been a man for many years. If he saw that Zhao Xun and Wang Zhongyi had such a good personal relationship, he would definitely think too much.
Zhao Xun finally got out of the crisis, but he didn't want to be worried about Emperor Xianlong again.
Of course, Wang Zhongyi is not the key today, nor is Emperor Xianlong.
The key is when Princess Xuanhuai appears, when she enters the scene, and how she enters the scene.
The layout has been planned for a long time, and Zhao Xun can't wait.
