The second day after the martial arts competition.
In Abbot Xiaolin's Zen room, Kong Wen and Kong Zhi sat opposite each other.
Kong Zhi is reporting on work.
He was talking about the closing matters of the Xiaolin Martial Arts Conference, cleaning up the venue, sending off guests and friends, and other chores.
Kong Wen closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, nodding his head from time to time to indicate that he understood.
Near noon, Kongzhi's report finally came to an end. He had just drank a few sips of tea to moisten his dry throat, and a deacon monk came outside to see him.
After being called in, a middle-aged monk with a happy face walked in hastily.
He didn't even have time to salute before he blurted out: "The Ming Cult has withdrawn its troops!"
Kong Wen opened his eyes for a moment, and Kong Zhi was even more happy and asked: "When did they evacuate? Have they all been evacuated?"
The deacon monk nodded repeatedly to confirm, and said: "The Ming army surrounding the temple began to pull out their camps at Chenshi, and they were all withdrawn at Jishi. The army at the foot of the mountain was reported by the senior brother who was stationed there. It will go to the direction of Kaifeng early this morning."
"Okay! Buddha will help Xiao Lin survive this disaster." Kong Zhi couldn't help but stand up.
After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he waved the deacon monk to retreat. Facing Kong Wen, who closed his eyes again, he said, "Brother, the Ming army has retreated. Do we still retreat from the fields as agreed?"
Kong Wen seemed not to have heard anything and sat down speechless.
Kong Zhi started pacing back and forth again, as if talking to Kong Wen and to himself, "Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land! These are all the hard work accumulated by my ancestors in the past generations. If they were gone now, Xiao Lin's
Daily expenses will be reduced by half, and the lives of thousands of monks will be even more miserable..."
"Amituo Buddha" Kong heard the Buddha's name to interrupt his self-talk, and then said "Monks don't lie!" and then closed his eyes again.
Kongzhi was stunned, and after a while he sighed and said: "Brother, it's better to see far. If the Mingjiao can come once, they can come a second time. Seeing that they are going to dominate the country again, people have to bow their heads under the low eaves.
…”
Kongwen's face twitched unnaturally twice while he was in trance.
The monks in Xiaolin were happy that the army had withdrawn from the siege, but Li Jiang, who had withdrawn, was not happy.
The reason for my unhappiness is nothing more than a fly that keeps buzzing in my ears.
"Brother Haichuan, what is the relationship between the girl in yellow and you?" Zhao Min asked as he walked.
Li Jiang was expressionless or numb, and said: "You have asked dozens of times, I will tell you one last time, it doesn't matter!"
"Keke, brother Haichuan, it's not that I don't believe you. I'm just curious. It doesn't matter. Why would she target you when she comes?" Zhao Min said, holding Li Jiang's arm.
Li Jiang pulled out her arm and said helplessly: "I've told you! She found out that I knew the Nine Yin Manual, so she wanted to find out the source. By the way, I'm warning you, this girl doesn't know whether she is a friend or an enemy. You
Don’t let it out that you know how to learn the Nine Yin Scriptures.”
Zhao Min nodded, she was never ambiguous on important matters.
Li Jiang took advantage of her silence and silently practiced Qing Gong without leaving any trace, slightly distancing himself from her.
Unexpectedly, within two minutes, Zhao Min pestered her again and asked: "Brother Haichuan, do you think that girl in yellow is beautiful?"
"I don't know. I am blind and have no concept of beauty and ugliness." Li Jiang shook his head firmly.
"Humph, Brother Haichuan just loves to talk nonsense!" Zhao Min scolded, rolled his eyes and asked, "Brother Haichuan, do you think I'm beautiful?"
Brush! Li Jiang broke into a cold sweat immediately. He was still complaining about himself, calling you a bitch. Why don’t you imitate Brother Dong? Zhao Min is not a stingy person. He just says no. Now he is really sitting there.
Waxed!
Zhao Min didn't urge him, and just looked at Li Jiang with a confused look on his face with a smile.
When Li Jiang felt that tens of thousands of his brain cells were about to die, someone came to his rescue.
"Report..." A signal soldier came quickly. Li Jiang was secretly happy. He calmly took a few steps forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
The signal corpsman knelt down and saluted, and reported: "Commander, Commander Han Shantong is waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. He said that he wants to listen to the instructions in person."
Li Jiang pretended to be displeased and said: "Didn't Han Shantong give orders for him to join Fan Junjie? Do you have to wait for me to say it again! Didn't he even give me half a day's leisure time?"
The soldier was confused and hesitated: "How about I humbly... humbly inform him to go on his way?"
"Forget it!" Li Jiang waved his sleeves and said, "I don't want to hurt his sincerity because he has made great contributions. Let's go and tell him. I will receive him later along with the leader and Yang Shoufu.
Tell him to be prepared. By the way, remind him that this will not happen once. If he disobeys military orders in the future, he will not be spared!"
"Yes!" The soldier followed the order and left.
Li Jiang turned around and said to Zhao Min in a regretful tone: "Mei Min, look at this... I originally promised to accompany you for half a day to see the scenery. Who would have thought that this Hanshan boy is really ignorant!"
Zhao Min rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I know you're busy, Brother Haichuan. You go ahead, I'll stay here to enjoy the scenery for a while."
"Oh, I've wronged Sister Min. I'll leave all the guards to you, just in case the girl in yellow shirt comes to trouble you." Li Jiang answered quickly.
"Yeah" Zhao Min made a sound from his nose, noncommittal.
Li Jiang sneered at her, then waved a small flag and gave a few instructions, then hurried down the mountain.
Zhang Wuji was walking in front with the military aircraft department, so he had to speed up to catch up.
With Li Jiang using his full strength, within a few minutes he saw the marching team stretched into a long snake.
Still more than a mile away from the main force, Li Jiang discovered from a distance that his loyal subordinate Tong Derong was walking at the end, looking back as he walked, as if waiting for someone.
As Li Jiang's figure got closer and closer, Tong Derong's expression became more and more excited, and in the last few dozen meters he even turned around to meet him.
Li Jiang looked at Tong Derong who was panting heavily and said: "Derong, you should practice more martial arts. Look, you have run so far and you are out of breath."
Tong Derong gasped and shook his head, and replied: "Li Fu, you also know that recently...there are a lot of things happening with military aircraft recently, so I have to help you keep an eye on them."
Li Jiang smacked his lips twice but didn't know what to say. He had to pretend that he didn't hear his last sentence and asked: "Derong, you stayed behind specially, what's the matter?"
Tong Derong glanced left and right, and then said mysteriously after confirming that no one was there: "Li Fu, I have contacted Han Shantong. He made it clear that as a subordinate of the Guards, he only listens to the orders of the commander of the Guards."
Ugh! Li Jiang suddenly realized, I asked Han Shantong why he was so bold and dared to stand still after receiving the military order to set off immediately. It turned out that he was persuaded by someone.
But this is normal. Li Jiang then thought about it. He, Han Shantong, had no roots in the Ming Cult and was struggling to find support. Now he was assigned to the Guards, and he was the commander-in-chief of the Guards. He wanted to
It would be really weird not to stick with him! So Tong Derong actually hit it off with him.
After Li Jiang figured it out, he said to Tong Derong: "That's it? Didn't you send a signal corpsman to report to me just now?"
Tong Derong had a strange look on his face, and after a moment he complained: "Li Fu, Han Shantong wants to see you alone, not to deal with the leader and the military aircraft department."
"Is it my fault?" Li Jiang's eyes widened.
