Master Xuanbei didn't know that He Xie actually didn't like Duan's so-called Guo Zuo at all, and naturally he didn't take his status as a prince seriously.
However, although Xuan Bei had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions.
The good thing about this old monk is that he never takes the initiative to cause trouble for others unless he has no choice, even if it means troublesome people.
"Mr. Duan and I, Shaolin, have always been on the same page, helping each other," Xuanbei said slowly, "No matter what the four evil men have planned, the poor monk will never stand idly by."
Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun both looked happy and stood up in a hurry to bow.
"Master is merciful, Zhengming (Zhengchun) is grateful!"
"Hey, there is no need to be polite to the two donors." Xuanbei didn't show off, and hurriedly stood up and helped the two of them up.
The three of them stood up and took their seats. He Xiecai smiled and said, "I heard from your majesty that the thieves kidnapped the prince to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations. Does your Majesty know where the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations is?"
Duan Zhengming said: "I have sent people to find out where the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations is. I believe there will be news soon."
"When does Your Majesty plan to set out to rescue the Crown Prince?" He Xie asked again.
"The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear," Duan Zhengming looked serious, "The thieves are obviously coming for me and Brother Chun. They kidnapped Yu'er just because they wanted us to use a trap. Yu'er will not be in any danger for the time being. So we can
Be fully prepared and inquire about everything before setting off."
He Xie smiled and shook his head: "Please forgive me for being rude. Your Majesty is just guessing about the thief's motives. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I'm afraid the prince will be in danger."
Duan Zhengming said slowly and in a deep voice: "How could Duan not know what Shaoxia He said? Yu'er is in the enemy's hands, and he doesn't know what vicious means the thieves will use against him. Duan has no heirs and has always regarded Yu'er as his own son. In the future, Dali
Sooner or later, the throne will be handed over to Yu'er. No matter in public or private life, Duan wishes he could take his place."
After a pause, Duan Zhengming looked at He Xie: "It's just that the thief asked me to go with Brother Chun. As a result, all the direct descendants of the Dali royal family will be in danger. If something unexpected happens, Dali will be overturned."
Wei. It is not a pity to die of my Duan family, why should the millions of people in Dali be pitiful?"
He Xie chuckled: "Your Majesty is looking forward and backward because he considers that he has a great stake as the king, but why should he deal with this matter as a Jianghu person?"
The expressions of the Duan brothers all changed.
"The emperor humiliated his ministers and died, and the prince of a country was kidnapped by thieves. This matter concerns the state, and all the people of Dali are responsible for it." He Xie looked at the two people as if they had not seen each other, and continued, "Regardless of Song and Liao,
Or in the case of Tubo in Xixia, if the prince was kidnapped, he would definitely launch a large army, leaving no armor behind, to show the royal majesty and frighten the disloyal ministers in the world. Why did your majesty leave thousands of troops and horses unused when they arrived in Dali, preferring to ride on them with tens of thousands?
Sir, how about taking risks alone?"
Duan Zhengming was silent and thoughtful.
Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but said: "What Shaoxia He said is not unreasonable. It's just that my Duan family in Dali established the country with martial arts, and it is inextricably linked to the Jianghu. It has long been difficult to let go. Now the four evil people are attacking with Jianghu means. If I, the Duan family, take action
If you are surrounded and suppressed by a large army, you will definitely be ridiculed by people in the martial arts world. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me, the Duan family, to gain a foothold in the martial arts world from now on."
He Xie sighed: "Prince Yue Duan, the four evil men are just hawks and dogs under the command of the Xixia monarch, but they can actually kidnap the prince in front of the royal palace in the capital of the country. This makes your majesty and the prince feel like they are facing a powerful enemy. In the end
I had to take risks alone, and even if I rescued the prince in the end, people in the world would say that the Duan family in Dali is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and has no power in the country."
"The prince is afraid that the martial arts people will laugh at him if he sends out the army..." He Xie couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't even bother to complain about how strange this idea was. "Instead of worrying about this, the prince would be better off worrying about it. When the people of the world know that Dali Kingdom, all they need is
How would you feel if four thieves were able to enter and exit a deserted area?"
Duan Zhengming looked at He Xie and said solemnly: "The four villains each have great martial arts skills and are all good players in the world. How can ordinary soldiers be their opponents? I am afraid that the army will be dispatched and there will be heavy casualties. How can I, Duan, bear to let others do it?"
Did my descendants of the Duan family sacrifice themselves like this?"
He Xie smiled, looked at the two brothers Duan and Duan thoughtfully, and said leisurely: "I am not thinking carefully. However, if the whole country of Dali is full of rivers and lakes, your Majesty does not need to worry too much about it."
As soon as these words came out, the Duan brothers were all startled and looked at He Xie with a thoughtful look in their eyes.
The whole country is full of rivers and lakes...
If that were the case, that would be great.
Just how is it possible?
What they didn't see was the flash of smile in He Xie's eyes.
They didn't see Xuan Bei's pupils suddenly shrinking, and he silently glanced at He Xie.
Many things happen naturally, and the seeds have been planted long ago.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, I am willing to lend a helping hand." He Xie cupped his fists and said.
It was getting late, so the four of them didn't discuss anything on the spot. Duan Zhengchun arranged guest rooms for Xuan Bei and He Xie in the palace respectively, allowing them to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, He Xie walked out of the room feeling refreshed after a night of hard training, and immediately saw Xuan Bei standing in the corridor.
He Xie was slightly startled, then walked over and stood beside Xuan Bei.
"Master didn't sleep all night?" He Xie asked.
"Amitabha." Xuanbei looked at He Xie and said with a smile, "I have one thing that I can't figure out. I have been thinking hard all night. I don't want to see the rising sun in the east this morning, but suddenly I found that I was the one who made the appearance, and it was just a mediocre person.
"
He Xie smiled and said, "I think Master Buddha's heart has become clearer. I'm really happy and congratulated."
Master Xuanbei smiled and said: "Donor He, don't you want to know what I am struggling with?"
He Xie was stunned for a moment, looked at Master Xuanbei seriously, and finally noticed something unusual about Xuanbei.
He was slightly silent, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
This old monk really has great wisdom. Yesterday I only revealed it a little bit. Ordinary people would just listen to it as a novelty. Unexpectedly, the old monk actually heard it and took it to heart.
But it doesn't matter, he is not afraid of people knowing his ambition.
"Donor He is indeed very smart," Xuanbei praised. "It seems that the benefactor already knows why I am so confused."
"Master Xuanbei is afraid that I will bring trouble to the world?" He Xie asked with a smile.
"I was worried at first." Xuanbei said calmly, "The donor is both civilized and military, and he is the most amazing and talented young man I have ever seen. I am not worried about the donor doing evil. After all, I still have some judgments about others.
What I am worried about is that the donor is deceived by the five aggregates and even becomes obsessed with it, which would be very bad."
He Xie smiled and continued to ask: "Then why is the master not worried anymore?"
Xuan Bei smiled kindly. He looked at He Xie and said, "Because..."
