410. The Great Song Dark Hall

More than half a month.

The weather in Jiangnan gradually turns from cold to hot, to the freshest season of every year.

Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian, and Mrs. Xu finally arrived at the territory of Dejiangnan East Road.

It has not been affected by the war for more than ten years, and it has gradually recovered, and there are many talented and beautiful people in the suburbs, and you can also see the fresh clothes and angry horses of the children of the anointed sorghum.

Longhu Mountain is located at the border of the east and west roads in the south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful scenery, and there are not a few people who come to play.

Zhao Dongting and the three of them were dressed ordinarily, and they didn't look dazzling in the crowd.

I never thought that Boyan and Ye Su'er would wave their troops to Longxing Mansion, but they traveled all the way, but nothing unexpected happened.

At the foot of Delonghu Mountain, looking at the clear river and beautiful peaks, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really a treasure of feng shui for outstanding people.

The meandering river flows slowly under the dragon and tiger mountains, with a refreshing atmosphere, which always makes people feel refreshed.

The sky is blue and white clouds.

This is a rare place to live. Even with it, those women who came out shy looked a little brighter.

The women in Jiangnan always have a smoky and weak aura.

On the stone steps of Longhu Mountain, there is an endless stream of pilgrims going up and down the mountain. As the ancestral court of Taoism in the world, no matter what the country is, the incense of Longhu Mountain will not be broken.

Zhao Dongting looked up for a long time, but did not go up the mountain, but said to Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu: "Two seniors, let's go to Liuxian Town first." ”

Liuxian Town is not far from Longhu Mountain, only more than ten miles away. It is said to be a town, but its prosperity is not below the county seat.

It is rumored that the Taoist patriarch Zhang Daoling in the ancestral court Longhu Mountain before the founding, in all parts of the country to find a place with dragon veins, through Liuxian Town, because the town residents enthusiastically stayed, to stay in Liuxian Town for a few days, and by chance found the hidden vein of Longhu Mountain, Dingzu Ting Longhu Mountain, after the rise of Taoism, Liuxian Town was named after this.

In Liuxian Town, every household is enshrined as a statue of Zhang Daoling.

Zhao Dongting and the three of them left the foot of Longhu Mountain like a horse, and when they arrived outside Liuxian Town, they could see the huge statue of Zhang Daoling.

In front of the statue, there are many tributes, and many people are kneeling on the ground to pray for blessings.

In such a place, it can be said that water cannot be splashed in, and even if it is a Buddhist gate, it is impossible to lay a foundation here.

Zhao Dongting looked up at Zhang Daoling's dusty statue, and he also felt a burst of peace.

The three dismounted and led their horses into the city.

There is no city wall outside Liuxian Town, not even an earthen wall. It seems that this place is the paradise, and no matter how chaotic the world is, it will not be affected.

And in fact, it is.

Even when the Song and Yuan dynasties were fighting, the armies of the two imperial courts deliberately bypassed here and did not come to disturb the peace here.

There are no soldiers here, no official government, more like a private land of Taoism.

The inhabitants of the town also seem to be mild-mannered, and there are few fierce faces except for outsiders.

The whole town is filled with a faint and refreshing smell of incense.

When I first entered the town, the most eye-catching thing was the incense, candle, paper and money shop.

Zhao Dongting just swept over casually, and took Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu straight to the depths of the city.

After practicing mathematics, there was a shop next to him called "Guiyuan Incense Shop" to freeze his eyes.

"This is it."

Zhao Dongting paused and walked towards the Guiyuan incense shop.

There were two young guys in there who were fiddling with things, and when they saw Zhao Dongting coming in, they hurriedly asked, "What does the guest officer need?" ”

It seems that the business of this shop is not particularly good.

Zhao Dongting's eyes swept over the store, and he said loudly: "I need three statues." ”

The eyes of the two little guys quietly condensed, and the one with a slightly darker face replied: "Dare to ask which three you need to invite?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "A loyal warrior, a golden dragon, and a world." ”

"Guest, please go inside."

The two little guys looked at each other, and the little guy who had just spoken stretched out his hand and pointed to the inside of the store, and took Zhao Dongting and the three of them inside.

Their conversation just now was naturally a code word.

Zhao Dongting ordered Wu Lianying to spread out dark halls all over the country to explore and transmit information, although Liuxian Town is only a town, but according to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain, there is also such a dark hall here. And the code words of each dark hall are different, just designing these joint codes made Zhao Dongting sad for several days.

"The shopkeeper, there is a distinguished guest who bought three Buddhas."

Walking into the store, there is a courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by houses, and it is a small quadrangle.

In the courtyard, there are many statues of gods carved from wood.

As soon as the little servant spoke, a middle-aged man came out of the room on the left and looked at Zhao Dongting and the three of them, with a faint glint in his eyes.

This is a practitioner, just look at his thick hands.

"Where did you come from?"

The middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Dongting and asked lightly.

Zhao Dongting said: "From the source." ”

The source represents the Imperial Palace.

The middle-aged man looked a little surprised. He has been rooted here for two years, and occasionally information has come in and out, but from the palace, no one has ever come.

However, since he had already matched the code, he naturally no longer had any doubts about Zhao Dongting's identity.

The people in the MI Department have been strictly trained by the methods of modern training spies, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are die-hard loyalists of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is unlikely that anyone will secretly communicate with the Yuan Dynasty.

Then the middle-aged man asked, "What is needed?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "Are there any objects sent from the source recently?" ”

"Guest officer, wait a minute!"

The middle-aged man nodded lightly and walked back into the house.

When he came out again, he had several letters and a book in his hand.

"I don't need books."

Zhao Dongting took the letter, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and looked like this.

The middle-aged man saw that his mouth was constantly squirming, and his face showed surprise.

As the head of this point of contact, he still knows some secrets. All kinds of intelligence letters exchanged by the Great Song Dynasty were replaced by codes, just like letters in the army, all of them were written numbers, even if it was him, he didn't understand what these numbers represented. And Zhao Dongting can actually understand these letters, which is enough to show that Zhao Dongting is at least at the same level as him, and he is the hall master of a certain dark hall.

But will the hall master run around?

Apparently not.

The middle-aged man understood that Zhao Dongting must be an extremely important figure in the Military Intelligence Department.

After reading the letter, Zhao Dongting's face was slightly solemn.

These letters came early and late in the summer, and did not come at the same time. The earliest letter said about Chen Yizhong, who did not open the situation at all in the Yue Li Dynasty, but bought a house in the city and lived a luxurious life, even now, there are still many people in the house, and they have not been sold.

"What a traitor......

Zhao Dongting muttered in his heart.

The second letter is about Western Xia.

A secret envoy from Western Xia came to Haikang, saying that Western Xia was ready to restore the country, and asked Zhao Dongting if he still used Princess Mingzhu to exchange Li Xiushu from the Yuan Dynasty according to the agreement.

Zhao Dongting was a little unimpressed by this. The war in Guangxi was over, and he no longer needed the help of Western Xia now.

In other words, the Western Xia Kingdom actually had no time to cooperate with him.

But after reading the third and fourth letters, Zhao Dongting changed his mind again.

The third letter actually said that the White Horse Army intended to go out of Shu and take the land of Kuizhou.

The fourth letter said that Qin Han stayed in Dali and had become a person that Duan Zhixing relied on.

After reading these, Zhao Dongting understood that Shuzhong and Dali were actually Duan Zhixing's forces. Duan Zhixing's secret hand really made him admire.

You must know that if the forces of Dali and Shuzhong are united, even if it is the Yuan Dynasty, it can no longer be regarded as nothing. They already have the capital to fight the world.

"Bring pen and paper."

After groaning for a long time, Zhao Dongting spoke up.

The middle-aged man walked towards the room again, took out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and placed it on the table.

Zhao Dongting picked up the pen and wrote down dozens of numbers one after another.

It means that let Xixia block the white horse and send envoys to the central capital, at the junction of Guangnan West Road and Jiangnan West Road, Princess Mingzhu will be replaced by Li Xiushu.

After writing, he folded the letter, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said, "Send this letter back to the source quickly." ”

His momentum made the middle-aged man dare not slack off, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes." ”

After saying that, he walked outside.

Zhao Dongting raised his head, looked at the blue sky through the leafy old camphor tree above his head, and muttered in his mouth: "I still want to rob while the fire is burning, how can there be such a good thing......
