Under the fifth cliff of Hunyuanding in Qingcheng Mountain, the clear Sophora Stream flows here. It makes a sharp bend along the cliff, and a pond emerges from the corner. A high-legged bamboo house stands on the pond, with a stilt no more than ten feet wide extending from the side.
Small fishing platform.
Zhuo Yunfeng, the master of the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion, sits beside the fishing platform, with a long fishing rod floating in the air in front of him, and the fishing line made of willow branches hangs deeply into the pond, drifting in the water with the mountain breeze.
It swayed gently without causing any ripples, as if it was blending with the water.
Dongfang Li stood quietly aside, looking at the fishing rod, his heart full of respect. He knew that this was a sign that his cultivation was about to enter the realm of cultivation.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I saw a willow branch flicking, and a huge carp jumped out of the water, and fell into the bamboo basket next to Zhuo Yunfeng with a splash. Zhuo Yunfeng laughed and looked into the bamboo basket.
, said: "That's it for today. It's enough for dinner. Do you like fish?"
Dongfang Li shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't eat much. I find it troublesome. I have been a monk in Xia Kingdom for twenty years and I am used to the taste of beef and mutton." After thinking for a while, he said: "I used to go fishing with Elder Zhizhen of Tianlongyuan.
, but this Elder Zhizhen is a Zen monk, he avoids eating meat and fish, and he must release them after catching them."
Zhuo Yunfeng sneered and said: "It's just pretentious. If you really care about the equality of all living beings, you shouldn't go fishing. You catch and release, release and catch again. Isn't this just a joke? According to me, if you really want the equality of all living beings, you should
Respect them and eating them is the greatest respect."
Dongfang Li was ashamed and didn't know how to answer. Zhuo Yunfeng didn't bother with this issue and said, "Do you have a problem with me?"
Dongfang Li said: "The secret stakes we sent to Xia Kingdom have been receiving information one after another. I have been sorting it out in the past few days and came here to report it to the hall master."
Zhuo Yunfeng said "Huh": "Since you have some time to relax, I don't think this information is important... tell me and listen to it."
"Xia Er reported that five days ago, Gaotai Temple remodeled the golden body of the Buddha statue. A grand event was held for this purpose, and the abbot, Master Rama, presided over the ceremony... I recently heard that Chengtian Temple, Gaotai Temple, and Jietan Temple,
The monks from the Buddha Monastery and other places are forming a ritual group to pray for Xia Lord Li Qianshun and Guan Zhili..."
"Xia San reports. It is said that according to reliable information, there are Manichaeans in Yinzhou, and I heard that officials from various places in Xia State are searching for them... Kaifeng Prefecture recently tried a case, and a monk from Guazhou accidentally killed someone in Xingqing. We will continue to pay attention to what happens next.
…”
"Xia Si reported that there is a new Jinbo Club in Xingqing Prefecture. The rich and powerful are vying to hang out. It is said to be a new market. We plan to try our best to enter and investigate... According to rumors, various brothels in Xingqing Prefecture will hold events
During the annual Oiran Competition, Xingqing Mansion is flooded with a large number of out-of-state tourists, and the market is bustling. They plan to participate in the prosperous time, and strive to get acquainted with one or two dignitaries... At present, the silver has been exhausted, and I wanted to raise it locally, but I am afraid that my trace will be leaked.
I only ask Xitang for support, the gap is more than 3,000 taels..."
After Dongfang Li finished reporting, Zhuo Yunfeng shook his head and said: "It's some useless news again. I don't know what they are doing all day long. They have to tell the story even if they build a golden statue in the temple, report it to the government if they decide a case, and so on.
There is this Xia Si..." Zhuo Yunfeng became angry as he spoke, and said angrily: "Look at the news he reported, it is a market and a brothel. Is he eating, drinking and having fun all day long? Today's money
After spending all the money, he comes back to ask for it! Just let him raise it on his own. If a monk in the Huangguan Realm can climb over walls and touch all the courtyards to leak out traces, then his cultivation level is bullshit!"
As he said this, he said angrily: "Xia Yi, Xia Er, Xia San, Xia Si, Xia Wu. Look at the names you have chosen. Tianlongyuan is called 12345, and you also follow it and call it 123."
Four or five, nothing new at all!”
Dongfang Lihan: "..."
"By the way, where are Xia Yi and Xia Wu? It's been three months and there's still no news from them?"
"Hall Master, Xia Yi went to Tianlongyuan. He hasn't been here for half a year. How can he get a foothold, let alone spy on secrets..."
"What about Xia Wu?"
"Xia Wu's mission is to set up a store and just put up the shelves. There are not many requirements..."
"In short, I am very dissatisfied with this group of people!"
"Hall Master, isn't this to prevent traitors? If there really is a secret agent from the Xia Kingdom in our pavilion, they will never come back...except for Xia Yi who went to Tianlongyuan, these secret agents are all outsiders, and they are also from
For safety reasons, let's be more patient and give them some time, and they will eventually get through it..."
After saying these words, Zhuo Yunfeng's anger gradually subsided. He looked at Dongfang Li and said: "You are a good person. I admire you very much. In short, you will take care of everything. I don't care so much... Speaking of which
, it’s time for me to retire, just wait until after this war..."
Dongfang Li was surprised and said: "Hall Master?"
Zhuo Yunfeng smiled and said: "We are almost at the bottleneck. If we don't attack the great master, we will get old... You should also practice diligently when you are busy on weekdays. Are you almost at the breakthrough point? I hope that after I retire, you
You can break into the Great Mage Realm, otherwise how can I hand over the West Hall to you?"
Dongfang Li was stunned, and his heart immediately jumped. Just as he was pondering the meaning of Zhuo Yunfeng's words, a white light flashed in front of his eyes. He took a copy of the flying talisman between his eyebrows, and for a moment, he looked towards Zhuo Yunfeng.
Said: "Hall Master, Xia Wu's information, the first one!"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Recently, the Privy Council has been discussing matters for many consecutive days, and the content is unknown..."
Zhuo Yunfeng nodded: "This one is somewhat useful, but it's not entirely untrue..."
"According to reliable information, the Xiangyou Supervisory Army Division of the Shizhou Wild Forces Department is urgently setting up a cavalry command to purchase equipment from the market. There are 3,000 war horses and 2,600 Dawan horses have been purchased. The remaining iron tools, leather
A number of A... The commander of the cavalry is Yeli Huaide, the direct son of Yeli Wangrong, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council, the governor of Shizhou, and the nephew of Yeli Yuqi, the commander of the army in charge of Xiangyou Supervisory Army."
Zhuo Yunfeng looked solemn and asked: "Is the news reliable?" Rather than asking whether the news was reliable, it was better to ask whether Xia Wu who sent the intelligence could be trusted.
Dongfang Li thought for a while and said: "Xia Wu is a capable person. I have always been very optimistic about him. This person was originally..."
Zhuo Yunfeng immediately stopped: "Don't tell me, act according to the rules of Sanqing Pavilion. I only ask you if you are reliable!"
Dongfang Li nodded: "Reliable!"
Zhuo Yunfeng immediately said: "Send these two messages to Ye Xueguan and let them pay attention to them. When sending the messages, pay attention to the wording, delete the details, and leave only the main points. You know the truth, don't let Xia Wu be exposed
Already."
Dongfang Li agreed and hurried away immediately.
Ye Xueguan, the Military Affairs Office of Western Sichuan Province, the Governor of the Ming Dynasty. After experiencing several years of war, Zhou Gao, who was a civil servant, had a bit of smoke and smoke all over his body. When he was reviewing the military affairs documents collected from various places in the study, Qian Xingshan, the master of the mansion,
He hurriedly came to the door and said: "Mr. Governor, there is an urgent military situation from the Promotion Department."
Zhou Gao took the official document, opened the seal with his own hands with a knife, took it out, read it quickly, and handed it to Qian Xingshan. After Qian Xingshan read it, he asked, "How is it?"
Qian Xingshan thought for a moment and replied: "There has been no movement from Xia Jun in the direction of Baima Mountain for more than a month. I have been wondering these days. The intelligence said that the Privy Council has been holding urgent discussions for many days. If the intelligence is true, there may be something wrong.
Big noise!"
Zhou Gao nodded and said: "Old Qian, you are thinking the same thing as me. If this matter is related to the direction of Baima Mountain, it will definitely be a major counterattack by the Xia army. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. We must take precautions early. I mean
Withdrew the two battalions of the small mountain guard in front and strengthened them to the second line of Jushan to avoid the first wave of Xia army's strong attack; split the Loushan guard in half and supplemented the Baima Qianhu Station and Yulong Qianhu Station.
Form heavy troops on both wings, and use Diexi Qianhu as the front to supplement troops for reinforcements. What do you think?"
Qian Xingshan said: "The governor used his troops well, and formed a pocket in this way. The Xia army will not come from his own way, and will not be able to go back when they come! But the frontal force is still a bit weak. I suggest that two more thousand households be deployed from Ye Xueguan.
Go up."
Zhou Gong said: "Let me know, I will go to Baima Mountain tomorrow and convene the generals in the camp to discuss matters... Well, let Longgang Qianhu Station and Chishui Qianhu Station move to Baima Mountain and order them to set off within three days. The two Qianhu Station will set off tomorrow.
Just follow me there...and then inform the Zhongmen Tioting Department and ask them to send someone to participate in the military meeting tomorrow night."
Qian Xingshan responded: "Yes! This second item..."
Zhou Gong said: "Transfer to the Governor's Office of Gansu and Shaanxi. Xiangyou Supervisor and Military Division is their opponent, so we don't need to worry about it." (To be continued...)
