Although Chang Sihao was worried about Qin Juexiang's affairs, he didn't slow down too much, and only saw Li Shuangji following when he was about to leave Hebei, and heard him say "The word has arrived" under the inquiry, Qin Juexiang also "knew", but he didn't have an accurate response, and couldn't help but feel depressed, thinking that this Shuangji was really thorough, let him pass the word, he really only passed the word, and didn't inquire about it more, Jue Xiang didn't understand, didn't understand, and didn't know, Guo Qiang and Wu Zhiming all looked out, and the two secretly snickered, with a pair of "If you want me to do it, it won't be like this." Ni Honglei smiled and patted Li Shuangji's back to show comfort, but he was a little stunned, I don't know what this means,

Chang Sihao thought that Qin Juexiang was smart and clever, he could mostly understand the rough hidden words, and now he couldn't take care of the two things, and he couldn't take care of him, and he still moved forward at the same time, this day crossed the Yellow River and entered the Zhengzhou territory, seeing that it was not early, he settled down in the post house to rest, here is the main road of communication between the north and the south, there are a lot of post horses who come and go, under inquiry, I heard that the military situation in Guangzhou is not tight, on the contrary, I once knew that the imperial court soldiers arrived, and they had already hidden, Lord Yu sent people to reconnoiter every day, and from time to time smashed the nest to break a small stronghold, this battle was scattered, but it seemed to have become a guerrilla, and secretly thought to himself: "What do you say that this has been a book that will use soldiers, it seems to be normal, tens of thousands of pirates against the official army, just to bully more and less, but he is hiding, obviously not confident, it seems that thieves are thieves after all, compared to the regular army," the next day set off, and his heart was a lot easier,

It was nearly noon when he passed through a tree-lined road, and he could see a city in sight at the end of the forest, Qi Zhonghua pointed out: "Hou Ye, there is Xinzheng in front, let's go into the city to make fire, take a little rest and then go," Chang Sihao nodded, and when he reached the edge of the woods, he saw someone standing up under a tree on the side of the road, looked at this side, as if confirming something, and blocked the road sideways,

Chang Sihao waited to restrain the horse, only to see that the man was wearing a blue and white monk's robe, stepping on bast shoes, and pushing the hat back, revealing Aomorisen's bald head with a scar, Wu Zhiming shook the horsewhip: "What way is you monk blocking, be careful to turn into a horse's hooves,"

The monk was happy: "The horse's hoof is printed on the body, but it is similar to ingots,"

Chang Sihao knew that there must be something strange about a monk on the avenue, and waved his hand to let Wu Zhiming retreat,

The monk looked him up and down and asked, "May I ask the one who came from the front, but is it Chang Sihao Chang Alliance Master of the Hundred Swords Alliance?"

Chang Sihao held the whip and said: "Down there is Chang Sihao, may I ask your Excellency,"

The monk said with a smile: "The little monk Pucong, a disciple of the Shaolin faction, has been waiting for the leader of the alliance here for many days on the order of the abbot of the sect, Xiaoshan Zongshu," Chang Sihao was a little strange, thinking that the big-headed monk and the master of the Zheng League were talking and laughing, and Guo Shu Ronghua was like a close friend, and Xu Sangongzi was sticky, and I didn't know what the ghost was in my head, and now I sent someone to stop me from doing something on the way, only to listen to Pu Cong: " The leader of the Chang Alliance doesn't have to worry too much, the abbot has some affairs to discuss with you, and he knows that the leader of the alliance is going south to Pingkou to pass through here, so he ordered the little monk to wait here, saying that this matter is related to the world, please be sure to take a step,"

Chang Sihao stared at him and said, "Where is the Venerable Master?"

Pu smiled sideways and pointed to the east, a few people looked away, a peach forest on the bank of the small river in the distance, and the pink was like a cloud on the ground.

Originally, the fast horse was about to arrive in the blink of an eye, but Pu Cong was on foot, and he couldn't leave him behind, Chang Sihao simply got off the horse, and followed him on foot, along the way, he felt that he was eager to change the hurry, and his mood became much more soothing.

Into the depths of the peach forest, I saw a small courtyard in front of me, blue tiles and white walls, very fresh, Pu Cong went in to report, not long after, Xiaoshan Zongshu personally led people to greet him, and smiled at first sight: "Amitabha, sure enough, the leader of the Chang Alliance has arrived, and the old man is late to greet him, and he hopes that the leader of the League will forgive his sins,"

Chang Sihao said: "Don't dare to be, there are a lot of idle chores, the Venerable Master left Beijing and didn't catch up with the send-off, I'm really sorry," a few polite words into the courtyard, Pu Cong led Qi Zhonghua and others to rest and watch tea, Chang Sihao followed the Xiaoshan Zongshu through the corridor and crossed the bridge and went straight back, all the way to see the courtyard is also full of flowers and clouds, peach branches over the wall, quite pleasing to the eye, so he squinted his eyes and said: "I don't want to have a Shaolin courtyard here, the Venerable Master looks at the peach blossoms every day, it must be very comfortable," the people on the hill laughed,

Come to the back garden, only to see a stone table in the small courtyard, there are three large flower chairs around, take a closer look, it turned out to be three peach trees, the peach trees were originally low, plus over the years in the pruning of the shape of the two hands to hold each other, set up a wooden board and backrest, spread the cushion of Xuanxuan cotton, wrapped around the flower branches, it became a natural chair, the hill said "please," Chang Sihao sat down on the peach tree chair on the left hand side, the buttocks fell back on the chair, only to feel that the top of the head was full of white, red and pink petals, as if caught in the sea of flowers, thinking:" This monk really enjoyed,"

The man on the hill sat opposite and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Fang can only see a flower scene in early spring this year, if you come in time for autumn, sit on the tree and pick peaches and eat, it will have a different taste," A middle-aged servant with a long beard served fragrant tea, turned around and retreated to the side,

Chang Sihao said: "Look at the eyes of the flowers, sit under the tree is the tree, smell the fragrance in the nose, since the tree is by the fingers, the flowers have entered the eyes, the nose is full of fragrance, this moment is enough to make people happy and infinite, and why bother for the future that mouthful of sweetness, so that the heart of the present has something to look forward to, become restless,"

The man on the hill said: "Amitabha, the words of the alliance leader are quite Zen, such as climbing high and looking far, it is open, the banner of the Hundred Swords Alliance does not fall, there are successors of the sword family, and the old man is really happy for the old swordsman Xu and the leader of the Zheng League,"

Chang Sihao listened to the sentence calling himself the "leader of the alliance", and did not leave the identity of the rivers and lakes, so he also guessed that he was divided into two thoughts, and said with a smile: "I don't have the virtue in the next place, but I just barely support it, which is like the Venerable Master, the Shaolin faction is under your auspices, not to mention, it is rare to go to Beijing, up and down are still connected, you are not only a guest of the Xu family, but also Guo Dugong is a big backer, you can be called a private official on both sides, hands and eyes are through the sky, think if you don't know the current affairs like this, Wise and accessible family, Shaolin will not stand on the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, we are the younger generations, we should really learn from you,"

The people on the hill put their white beards in their hands, shook their big heads, and said with a smile on their faces: "Eh, the alliance leader is far away, the old man's Zen heart has been stained with mud, how can he chase the east wind up and down, as for the guest discussion Zen, it is just to promote Buddhism,"

Chang Sihao remembered that at the banquet of the East Factory in Lichun, he had heard him say that "the drizzle is not self-respecting, so it must ride the wind, the stars have a star road, how can it be like duckweed", was interrupted by Zeng Shiquan at the time, and did not talk deeply, but he promised himself to the stars, and there was a hint that it was not all the way to the East Factory, listening to this now, this meaning is even more obvious, did he expect it wrong before, and his mind was spinning rapidly for a while, thinking that this monk is an old fritter, even if it is not the East Factory all the way, you have to be more careful, he smiled and said:" In the cold winter months, the north wind was cold and hard, and the road was very bitter, and there was no east wind to warm it, so why did the Venerable Master go to Beijing and suffer that sin?"

The man on the hill didn't speak, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, Chang Sihao looked at him hesitantly, took it and unfolded it, only to see that the letter paper was full of official scripts, the font was quite familiar, and the hill was humane: "This is the letter from the lord of Zheng Meng to invite the old man into Beijing, his Qin silkworm Guli is full of strength, and the style is special, presumably the lord of the Chang League must recognize it,"

Chang Sihao looked carefully, it was indeed the pen of the master of Zheng Meng, seeing that the letter was sincerely worded, intended to invite the people on the hill to enter Beijing for a meeting, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, thinking that if this letter was true, the people on the hill were invited to Beijing by the lord of the Zheng League, not called by Guo Shu Ronghua, so when Dongchang instigated the three factions to withdraw from the alliance, he used him to preside over the notarization, how could it be fake?

The man on the hill saw his doubts and said, " There are no outsiders here, and the old man also has something to say, before the old man's younger brother Zong Yu, oh, is the presiding officer of the White Pagoda Temple, Xiao Chi Shangren, to the old man came to a letter, saying that it was because he invited the white sect's protector King Kong into Beijing, quite rare, so I also want to invite the old man to study Buddhism in the past, mutual problems, the old man is a Zen sect, and the second is to meditate in Songshan for many years, to walk around the mountain, he intends to refuse, but Zheng Mengzhu this letter came, said to invite the old man to discuss the martial arts affairs, the words in the middle are sincere, a piece of sincerity, but let the old man move his mind, so he decided to enter Beijing, did not think, to the White Pagoda Temple, for a while the heroes were uninvited, the emperor suddenly ordered the official, Xia Zenghui and others provoked controversy and commotion, Ying Hongying's mother and son complained in front of the heroes of the world, let Lao Qu come to witness, followed by the three factions and then launched a withdrawal from the alliance, all kinds of rebellion and chaos are dizzying, it is really bold, now think about it, Lao Ge has been secretly low-key all the way, how can it attract so many martial arts people to Baita Temple in a short period of time to greet him, it must be that after Dongchang found out the rumor, he set a plan and deliberately passed the news to them, so that all kinds later, Lao Ke also contained and used it, at that time, Lao Ge was in the torrent and had no choice but to deal with it, fortunately, Zheng Meng's eyes were lit up, and he came to push the boat down the river to avoid conflict, to make an earth-shattering disaster invisible, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable,"

Chang Sihao said: "How did the Venerable Master know that everything was instructed by Dongchang?"

The man on the hill said: "Cao Xiangfei is disdainful of the martial arts people, but he is respectful to you, obviously deliberately creating a hostile atmosphere, and there is a faction among the martial arts people who are inclined to the government, provoking the contradictions between the officials and the martial arts, which is also intended to stir up the fire, although there is no evidence at that time, it can be guessed from the situation,"

Chang Sihao recalled the situation in the Baita Temple at that time, and really saw it everywhere, and had to go according to the people's card, now thinking about it, I still feel depressed in my chest, thinking that this East Factory oppresses people with momentum, and it is not strange to be at the mercy of Shi Benxiu, Huo Qiuhai and the like, strange is the person who came by chance, People who have nothing to do with each other can also be played by them, arranged in the conspiracy like a chess piece, and make it impossible to resist, it seems that the person of the Hundred Swords League that day is also the eyeliner of the East Factory, otherwise he will not deliberately leak the bottom and lead himself to the White Pagoda Temple, Guo Shu Ronghua is carefully arranged everywhere, this mind is really sophistry,

At this time, the person on the hill sighed and said: "After you and Young Master Qin left that day, Lao Qu talked with Lord Zheng Meng for an afternoon, and Lord Zheng Meng said that the eldest grandson Xiaochi retreated suddenly, which caused the situation in the rivers and lakes to fall into great turmoil, Zhu Qing, Jiang Wan, and Shen Lu have the heart to help the country, and the path taken by the Hundred Swords League is very different, he doesn't want to see the two fight in the future, The killing was carried out, and it didn't make sense to talk to them, so I hope that Lao Qu will come forward as a martial arts senior and preside over mediation in it, so as to nip this catastrophe in the bud."

Chang Sihao remembered that Zheng Mengzhu and himself were drinking porridge and talking in the snowy night, discussing the current situation of the political system, and felt sad for a while, the sword family was based on a lofty position, but they always fell into the predicament of not being understood, but they had to whisper everywhere and seek grievances, thinking that it was really helpless,

The man on the hill groaned, and raised his gaze: "Since the old man has been told to him, he wants to ask to understand, the sound of bamboo overnight, the country has changed, and now the Hundred Swords Alliance is in the hands of the Chang Shi, I don't know if the past discussion can still be done,"
