Li Jing heard from the words of the monogram that he did not want to be an enemy of the imperial court, and that he had a complicated feeling of sympathy for Dujing, and after pondering, he opened his mouth and said to him: "Master, the most important thing at the moment is to find the two Gu women who were held hostage by Master Dujing as soon as possible, so that the last general can complete the mission handed over by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the last general, and all other matters can be taken care of after this matter is settled." I wonder if the master can help the last general find the whereabouts of these two women as soon as possible? ”

Although the general can rest assured, as long as the two women mentioned by the general are indeed hid near Tiantai Mountain by Senior Brother Dujing, the poor monk will order someone to dig three feet into the ground, and he will also find the two women and hand them over to the general. However, please don't report this matter to the government for the time being. Duyu knew that Senior Brother Dujing had brought a big disaster to Tiantai Temple this time, and he did not hesitate to express his attitude to Li Jing.

"Until the master sends someone to find the whereabouts of the two women, the last general will never leave this cave for half a step, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the master for Dujing to detect." Li Jing smiled slightly and said with relief.

"Then the general will be wronged, and the poor monk will arrange for people to go down the mountain to find the whereabouts of the two women." Duyu got Li Jing's assurance, got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Jing's mouth.

"Master, can you order someone to send a detailed map of the vicinity of Tiantai Mountain to the last general, the last general has been idle in the cave for the past few days, and he can also familiarize himself with the geographical shape of Tiantai Mountain?" Li Jing considered that even if Duyu dispatched the monks of Tiantai Temple and Hesi, he might not be able to find the whereabouts of Chen and the others, so he asked Duyu to send a map of Tiantai Mountain, so that he could deduce the exact location where Dujing hid Chen and the others according to the map.

Seeing that Li Jing really did not mean to go down the mountain to report to the government without authorization, Duyu happily agreed to Li Jing's request, and sent someone to quietly come to the cave to send Li Jing a detailed map of the vicinity of Tiantai Mountain on the evening of the same day, and repeatedly told Li Jing to hide the map properly, so as not to make Dujing notice.

In this way, after three days in a row, Li Jing repeatedly participated in the study of the map sent by the monolingual in the cave, and he had memorized the hundreds of villages within a radius of dozens of miles around Tiantai Mountain, and knew it well. At the same time, while sending the powerful monks in the temple to find the whereabouts of Chen and others, Duyu personally came forward and tried to stabilize Dujing in the Tiantai Temple in Houshan on the grounds of accompanying Dujing to consult the essence of Buddhism, so that he could not spare time to come to the cave alone to interrogate Li Jing.

It was only in the afternoon of the fourth day that Duyu took advantage of Dujing's rest in the temple to hurriedly come to the cave where Li Jing was detained, and reported to Li Jing the results of finding Chen and others in the past few days.

As the general said, in the past few days, the poor monk has been knocking on the side, and he has already asked from the mouth of Senior Brother Dujing, Senior Brother Dujing was indeed entrusted by someone to take two women back to the mountain a month ago, but no matter how the poor monk persuaded him, he refused to tell the poor monk where the two women were hiding. And in the past three days, the poor monks have sent no less than 100 monks in the temple every day to search for the whereabouts of the two women on the mountain and down the mountain, but so far nothing has been found. Can you ask the general to grieve in the cave for a few more days, and the poor monk is willing to do his best to help the general find the two women as soon as possible? In order to appease Li Jing's emotions and ignore the rules and precepts of Buddhism, Duyu personally brought Li Jing a lot of wine and meat to eat, and begged him to give him a few more days.

"It's not that the last general can't trust you, the master, it's because in the past few days, the last general has repeatedly checked the map sent by the master in this cave, and knows that Tiantai Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are many places nearby for people to hide and resettle, and it is not easy to find people with one hundred and ten monks in the temple alone, and the last general is also worried that as time goes by, once it is noticed by Master Dujing, it is only afraid that it will endanger the lives of the two people. Master, if you can trust the last general, please ask the master to try to stabilize Dujing, and at the same time, the last general will personally go to all parts of the mountain to find the whereabouts of Chen and others, if the master is worried that the last general will take the opportunity to report to the local government, you might as well send someone to follow the last general, I don't know what the master wants? Li Jing wanted to abide by the promise he made to Duyu himself, and never report the news that the monks of Tiantai Temple had kidnapped Chen and others to the local government, and was anxious to find the whereabouts of Chen and others, so he discussed with Duyu in an anxious mood.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate. The general is new to the city, and he is not familiar with the terrain around Tiantai Mountain, so even if the general personally participates in the search for people, he is afraid that it will be difficult to get what he wants within three or two days. Please rest assured that the poor monk will send more capable men to find the person the general wants as soon as possible. Duyu was obviously worried that Li Jing would not be able to find the whereabouts of Chen and the others for a while, so he would report to the government and ask for help, which would bring disaster to Tiantai Temple, so he tried his best to dissuade Li Jingdao.

"I see that Master Dujing has not been to this cave again in the past few days, presumably Master Duyu must have adopted a strategy to stabilize the army and stabilize him in the temple." Li Jing knew that if he insisted on going out of the cave to find someone, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Duyu, so he changed the topic in time, while smiling and complimenting Duyu, he pointed to the map unfolding in front of him and asked him, "But I don't know which villages and places have been searched by the people sent by the master in the past few days, you might as well take the opportunity to inform the last general, so that the last general can consider a thing or two." ”

Seeing that Li Jing no longer insisted on going out of the cave to find someone in person, Duyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and then pointed to dozens of remote villages marked on the map and said to Li Jing: "General, please see, because the poor monk is considering that Senior Brother Dujing is holding two women who are powerless, most of them will not hide them in the barren mountains and caves like they did with the general, and these villages are located in remote areas, and there are no less than a dozen or dozens of mountain people living in each village, so it should be the best place to hide the women he is hijacking. Therefore, the poor monk ordered people to start with these villages, but because these villages are located in remote mountains, the people sent by the poor monks to find them took a long time, and only less than half of the villages have been searched, and no foreign women have been found among them......"

Li Jing didn't wait for the monogram to finish speaking, that is, he pointed to the dozen or so villages along the coast on the map, interrupted him, and said: "These coastal villages, I don't know if the master has sent someone to find them?" ”

"What does the general mean is that the two women who were held hostage could be hiding in these coastal villages?" Duyu raised his eyes and glanced at Li Jing, shook his head, and said, "Although the poor monk also expected that a month ago, when all the land routes were banned by the official army, Senior Brother Dujing most likely returned to Tiantai Mountain by sea with the general and the two women who were coerced, but the general didn't know that most of the people in these coastal villages near Tiantai Mountain made a living by going out to sea to fish. ”
