Dongfang Li took advantage of the night to leave the Ming Army Camp in Hongyuan Imperial Palace. According to Zhao Ran's reminder, he would hide his whereabouts and take a detour to the Dajun Mountain Cave. After putting down the golden nanmu, he would go straight to the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
After all, this is still the border, and Tubo cannot be protected. Those lamas from the Northern Yuan Dynasty risked crossing the border. It is only proper to send back the master's treasure "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" first. As for going to Jianji Temple in Lushan Mountain to deliver the Buddhist return gift, they can only put it there.
More on that later.
The next morning, Zhao Ran received the flying talisman from Dongfang Li and his teacher Jiang Tenghe, telling Zhao Ran that the golden nanmu had been shipped, so that he could rest assured. Jiang Tenghe also asked Zhao Ran to stay in the military camp and not move around. He and Sun Biyun
The real person will arrive immediately.
This kind of caution is still very necessary. The facilities in the Dajun Mountain Cave have not been completed yet, and Patriarch Longyang has not yet arrived here to take charge. Master Sun Biyun and his teacher have come to escort the treasures in person, which is better than just a little Huang Guan.
Safe - even though the distance is only a few dozen miles.
Taking advantage of the stall waiting for the teacher to come to escort him, Zhao Ran invited Commander Cao, Ning Shouyu, Zhang Juzheng and Pei Zhongze to his tent, and said to everyone: "I will rush back to Junshan immediately, and I will do all the things here together."
A handover."
First, give the staff to Zhang Juzheng and ask him to take him back to the sky. This will be regarded as officially relinquishing the errand of the Ming envoy. As for the rules of responding to the emperor's mission to the emperor, Zhao Ran, as a monk in the palace, in this Taoist-dominated Ming Dynasty, obviously
There is no need to be too particular. Since he does not have the free time to run errands, the emperor can only endure it - anyway, the royal family has endured it for more than six hundred years, and he is not the only one who can do it.
Zhao Ran also asked people to bring over the three great Dawan horses that he had bought at the Jinbo Auction House, and said: "Before going on an envoy, Pindao met Cao's command. Although the Sanhe war horses used by Ning Shouyu were also good, they were always
The talents of the generals were not suitable for them, so I decided to see if I could match the two generals with really good horses. I happened to see these three Dawan horses in Xingqing, so I bought them. Although their endurance was not good, they were
There must be a good Sanhe horse ridden by the two generals, but the victory is due to speed when charging into the battle, so I will give it to the two generals, and you can each choose one, and talk about your feelings for me."
Commander Cao and Ning Shouyu had been staring at these three Dawan horses since yesterday, and they were greedy. However, when they found out later that they were bought by Daoist Zhao with his own money, they did not dare to think anything wrong. Now they heard that Daoist Zhao had bought them with his own money.
I had been thinking about this thing about my family before I went on the mission, and I was immediately moved. After thanking me, I hurriedly went to choose.
Commander Cao chose one that was completely black and without mottled colors. It was half a foot taller on the shoulders than his original one, and it looked extremely majestic.
Ning Shouyu did not dare to compete with Commander Cao. After Commander Cao made his choice, he looked left and right among the two remaining horses. He was about to choose the pure white horse, but suddenly remembered that there was one left.
Could it be that Zhao Ran wanted to keep it for his own use? So he chose the bay-red horse, which was slightly inferior.
I only heard Zhao Ran say: "With this white horse left, I asked Commander Cao and Ning Shouyu to send someone to Longtan Guard and hand it over to Zhang Zhongdao. Zhang Zhongdao is a good friend of Pindao, so it can be regarded as a little kindness from Pindao."
Commander Cao smiled and said: "Taoist Master Zhao has not forgotten his old friendship, he is really loyal!"
Ning Shou Yuze was even more grateful: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, this matter has been taken care of by the general."
Zhao Ran added: "Of those three hundred war horses, Pindao has obtained permission from the General Viewpoint to hand over one hundred of them. I asked Shuda to escort them all the way to Lushan. I asked Commander Cao to send capable sergeants to help."
Commander Cao hurriedly said: "Don't worry about this!" and then eagerly waited for Zhao Ran to announce how the remaining two hundred war horses would be distributed.
"There are two hundred war horses left. Pindao makes the decision and leaves them to the soldiers of Song Fan Guard."
At this time, Commander Cao was really overjoyed and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Zhao Ran. These war horses were all specially selected by Xixia. According to Zhao Ran's request, the shoulder height of each horse was higher than the Sanhe used by the Ming army today.
There are a lot of horses, and using these horses to form a heavy armored cavalry that rushes into battle will definitely be extremely powerful.
Seeing Ning Shouyu looking covetously at the side, Commander Cao was delighted and became more generous: "Old Ning, I'll leave you fifty horses."
Ning Shouyu was immediately happy.
Zhao Ran didn't know that Pei Zhongze would come to Hongyuan Guards to help in the battle, so he didn't prepare a gift for him in Xixia. However, with his nature, it was definitely impossible to leave this close friend behind. At that moment, he took out a box from his finger and handed it to Pei Zhongze: "
This is a Buddhist magic weapon. Let’s see if it can be used, senior brother. If it doesn’t suit senior brother’s practice, it should be treated as a toy.”
Pei Zhongze was not polite. He took the box and opened it. He saw that it was a string of rosary beads, emitting a deep red light. They were of good quality, so he accepted them and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite to my junior brother."
Zhao Ran took another box and handed it to Pei Zhongze: "This is a gift for my Uncle Yan. It is a spiritual grass. Please give it to my Uncle Yan. I will be in a hurry to go back later. I will not be able to go to the Cheva Valley to see the Master for a while."
Uncle." Zhao Ran spent his own money to choose a spiritual herb that ranked 90th on the "Zhilan Spiritual Medicine Manual" and gave it to Yan Yunyi.
Zhao Ran also asked Ning Shouyu to build a stronghold with the cattle, sheep, and 63 Ming people he purchased, and help take care of them for a while. When he finished his work and had a place to settle, he
Ning Shouyu agreed wholeheartedly when he came back to receive it.
After the assignment was decided, Zhao Ran called Zhang Juzheng to his side: "Uncle, I'm returning to Yingtian from this trip. I have one more thing to ask of my uncle."
"Just follow the Taoist priest's orders."
Zhao Ran took out a letter and handed it to him: "After my uncle returns, please forward this letter to Minister Gan of the Ministry of Revenue."
Zhao Ran and Gan Shutong, the Minister of Household Affairs, had never met each other. When he went to Yingtian last time, he was in such a hurry that he did not bother to visit him. However, Gan Shutong had two correspondence exchanges with him, both of which were
It was to express his gratitude to Zhao Ran. Once, Zhao Ran awarded Qu Fenghe an ultimatum, and the other time, he formally entered Qu Fenghe into the Lou Guanmen Wall.
Especially the second time, for the Qu family, this is nothing more than another bright road that Menlin can carry forward. The Gan family and the Qu family are one and the same. In the future, Qu Fenghe will be successful in cultivation, and Gan Shutong will suffer a major setback in his career.
, the Gan family will not fall into ruin.
Zhao Ran wrote this letter overnight. There was nothing else in the letter. In fact, it was just to say hello and tell Gan Shutong that Qu Fenghe was doing well in his school. But asking Zhang Juzheng to deliver the letter had a different meaning.
Yes, I believe Gan Shutong can understand.
Zhang Juzheng himself understood that compared to good horses, magic medicine, silver, etc., this letter was a real gift to him, and it made him stand out from the humble officials like Xingren Si Xingren.
A shortcut, if you can become a minister, you will save ten years of detours. Among the more than 200 Jinshi this year, you can be regarded as the first. He is not a pretentious and arrogant master. After taking over, he turned to Zhao Ran.
Worship: "Thank you, Taoist Master!"
Not long after the incident was finished, Zhao Ran saw the ladder in the southeast sky at the door of his tent. The ladder landed in front of the camp. Teachers Jiang Tenghe and Sun Biyun were waiting on the ladder and did not enter the camp.
Zhao Ran said goodbye to Pei Zhongze, Commander Cao, Ning Shouyu, Zhang Juzheng and others. He left the camp and climbed up the ladder. He bowed and said, "I have met the teacher, I have met Master Sun."
Without saying a word, the two men took off on the ladder and turned around to fly directly to the southeast.
