Chapter 169 The Metropolis

When Xiao Jing returned to the mountain, the heroes were already packing their things and planning to leave.

After this joint fight against the enemy, the factions of the Righteous Path and the Ming Cult can be regarded as letting go of their prejudices, accepting each other, and jointly resisting the Mongols.

Xiao Jing stayed on the mountain for two days. During this period, Zhou Zhiruo first returned to Emei with Miejue Shitai. Before leaving, she said goodbye to Yiyi and said that she would go to Junshan to find him some time.

Then came Liusheng Yunshang and Yang Yaoqin's appointment to fight. Both women are peerless masters standing at the pinnacle of the Jianghu, and they are both women. They cherish each other, which proves that martial arts is normal.

Relying on the gentleman's and lady's two magical weapons that cut iron like mud and the skill of combining two swords, Yang Yaoqin did not lose, but it is certain that she can't compare with Liusheng Yunshang in the way of swordsmanship.

But she is not without advantages, aside from swordsmanship, Liu Shengyunshang is far inferior to her in other martial arts.It's just that Liu Sheng Yunshang can sweep the world with a single sword, and has already reached the realm of breaking all laws with one method, and there is no need to practice other martial arts.

After the Moon Wheel Sword was recast, Liu Sheng Yunshang floated away again contentedly, probably to go to Beijing to see the emperor.During this trip to Guangmingding, she competed with the three masters one after another, and she gained amazing results. Naturally, she couldn't avoid looking for Huo Yushun, and even Pu Buhua for advice.

Xiao Jing copied a copy of Wu Mu's suicide note and presented it to Zhang Wuji, saying: "Wu Mu's suicide note was specially reserved by Guo Daxia for future generations to overthrow the Tartars. If it falls into the hands of our Jianghu people, it will be a secret investment and a waste of the painstaking efforts of our ancestors. There are many loyal and reliable people who are good at leading troops and fighting, and Brother Zhang can choose the best to teach them, so that they can establish great achievements as soon as possible and restore our Han family."

Zhang Wuji knew that this was a big matter, related to the rise and fall of the Han people, so he took over the book of war very solemnly, saying: "In the Ming religion, there is a brother named Xu Da, who is loyal and upright, and his way of general is quite good, but he is a A worthy candidate."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Chang Yuchun is brave in battle, and his righteousness is beyond the sky, so he can teach you how to fight."

Xiao Jing smiled and nodded in agreement.These two are indeed rare general talents, a little tempering is a sharp weapon against Yuan soldiers, and Wu Mu's suicide note will not be buried when they are passed on to them.

He wanted to remind Zhang Wuji to beware of Zhu Yuanzhang, but firstly Zhu Yuanzhang performed very well in the teaching, he was benevolent, forthright, and quite talented, not only was he well respected by his subordinates, but also the senior officials of Mingjiao held him in high esteem.As an outsider, he has no position and qualifications to say something baseless.

Secondly, Zhang Wuji himself has a very close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang. He saved his life back then, and now he is even more heart-to-heart.The so-called inseparable relatives, if you talk too much, it will be regarded as having ulterior motives and alienating the relationship between Mingjiao and superiors.

After everything was over, Xiao Jing didn't stay for long, and took Xiao Zhao, Yang Yaoqin, and the elders of the Beggar Clan to leave Guangmingding.

During this period of time, Xiao Zhao often got together with Dai Qisi, and enjoyed the family happiness of mother and daughter.

After Xiao Jing waved away the nearby gang members under the Bright Summit, they rode horses again and rushed back to the main helm of Junshan.After being away for several months, there is naturally a backlog of some major events that need to be decided by him personally.

Half a month later, Xiao Jing handed over the dog-beating stick to Shi Huolong, and he set off again to find Zhao Min in Dadu.After all, even though he would go to see her within a year at most, it would be a long night and dreamy, and it would be better to meet her early, but now two or three months have passed, it is time to act.

Xiao Zhao obediently prepared all the traveling things for him, and even sent them far away before leaving.

Xiao Jing led the red rabbit horse, and said to Yang Yaoqin: "Sister, do you want to go back?"

Yang Yaoqin smiled and said, "If you're not here, it's meaningless for me to stay here. Let's go back to the ancient tomb for a while. I'll come to meet you again after you pick up the Princess."

Xiao Jing nodded and said: "Okay, when I receive Minmin, I will go directly to Guanzhong, and go to the ancient tomb to find my sister, and then we will come back together."

Yang Yaoqin's eyes lit up, and she said joyfully, "That's exactly what I mean. Since you left the ancient tomb, you haven't been there for ten years. My sister really hopes that you can visit the old place again."

Xiao Jing said: "That's it, sister, take care." After finishing speaking, she got on the horse, shook the reins, and the red fire spread its four hooves, and it went away like the wind.

The red rabbit horse travels very fast, even if there is no rush on the road, it only took less than a month to complete the two or three thousand miles from Hunan to Dadu.

After entering the capital city, Xiao Jing directly found an inn, handed the horse over to Xiao Er to take care of him, booked another room, and then went downstairs to prepare dinner.

Just as he was ordering food, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside, and then several big men walked into the inn and came straight to him.

Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes, and found that these people were still acquaintances, they were brothers Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San who were enshrined in the Ruyang Palace.Several people bowed their hands to Xiao Jing, Ah Dao said: "I have seen Mr. Xiao, the princess is looking forward to the arrival of the young master every day, and ordered our brothers to pay attention at all times. Once the young master arrives, he will immediately invite the young master to the mansion."

Xiao Jing frowned slightly, and said, "Is King Ruyang in the residence?"

Ah Dao: "Since the prince came back from Kunlun Mountain, he has been resting in Dadu, and only waits for another expedition after autumn."

Xiao Jing pondered to himself: "Although King Ruyang is a bit troublesome in the mansion, since Min Min invites him, it will not be a big problem. Besides, even if he insists on beating mandarin ducks, he must have that ability."

He no longer hesitated at the moment, and said, "Lead the way."

The three of Ada's faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly led the way ahead.There are more than a dozen people waiting outside, all dressed as Mongolian warriors.Xiao Jing turned over and rode on a horse prepared by a warrior, and walked towards the palace surrounded by everyone.

Xiao Jing said to Ah Dao: "Do you know when the princess's mother's death day is?"

Ah Da said with a strange expression: "Master Xiao doesn't know? Today is the fifteenth anniversary of the death of the concubine. The princess, the prince, and the prince just returned home after paying homage in the morning, and Mr. Xiao arrived."

Xiao Jing was surprised: "It's today?"

Ah Dao: "That's right. After paying homage to the princess, the princess was very sad. Now that Mr. Xiao is passing by, he is going to give her a surprise to dilute the sadness in his heart."

Xiao Jing nodded, if this is the case, she really needs to go to comfort her.

The speed of the few people was not slow, and after half an hour, they arrived in front of the tall Ruyang Palace.After everyone got off their horses, the gatekeeper naturally recognized Ah Da and the others, and hurriedly nodded and bowed and put them into the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Xiao Jing naturally knew how to get to Zhao Min's place, but Ah Da and the others led him to another direction.

Seeing the questioning expression in Xiao Jing's eyes, Ah Dao said, "Since the princess came back, she has been relaxing in the garden, and told me to wait. If you see the young master, you can go directly to the garden to meet him."

Xiao Jing nodded, this direction was indeed heading for the garden, so he didn't say much at the moment, and followed a few people along the way.

After walking for half a cup of tea, after passing through a moon gate, I saw a large garden covering an area of ​​[-] acres, full of colorful flowers, bees coming and going, butterflies playing with each other, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers makes people want to be intoxicated. , almost suspected of being in Asgard.

Xiao Jing regained her composure, and followed Ah Da to a large pavilion amidst the strong fragrance of flowers.There are already several people standing in the pavilion, as if admiring the scenery in the garden.

The leader with a dignified demeanor and a prestige without anger is actually King Ruyang himself.Beside him is the eldest son Wang Baobao, and an old man with gray hair and hale and hearty spirit.Just didn't see Zhao Min.

Xiao Jing was secretly vigilant in her heart, but also happy and unafraid, took a step forward, cupped her hands and said: "I have seen the prince, my son. I haven't seen you for a few months, and the prince's spirit is better than before. It is really gratifying."

King Ruyang seemed to have no grudges against Xiao Jing, he waved away the three of them, and said with a big smile: "Tuofu, I have eaten enough and slept warmly during this time, so it's hard to think about it. I know you will Come, so I am waiting here specially, I want to chat with you alone for some things."

Xiao Jing said: "My lord has an invitation, Xiao should respect himself. But, why didn't you see Minmin?"

King Ruyang showed a sad look on his face, but also revealed a bit of kindness, and said: "Today is the fifteenth anniversary of her mother's death. Minmin was overly sad, and she was not feeling well after coming back. She is resting now. You want to see him, and you will see him later. Just wait until she wakes up."

Xiao Jing nodded and said: "That's fine. But I don't know if the prince is waiting, what can we talk about?"

King Ruyang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you are a guest from afar, and this king will serve you wine to welcome you, and we will talk while eating."

Xiao Jing said: "My lord is too polite, Xiao is ashamed."

King Ruyang said: "You don't have to be so cautious, you and I may not necessarily be enemies. Besides, your martial arts are so good, taking the head of a general among thousands of troops is like picking something out of a bag, and my father and son are mediocre in martial arts. How are you?"

Xiao Jing said indifferently: "Your Highness is an outstanding person in the world and deserves to be treated with caution by anyone under any circumstances." Turning to the old man again, he said: "I wonder who this old gentleman is?"

King Ruyang laughed loudly and said: "Come on, let me introduce you." Pointing to Xiao Jing, he said to the old man: "This leader Xiao is the most remarkable figure in the world today. He won the title of the world's number one master in the Guangmingding Martial Arts Competition, and he is famous all over the world, and he is a leader. He is more familiar with the art of war, and he is versatile in both civil and military affairs, which makes me appreciate it even more."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the old man and introduced to Xiao Jing: "This old man's surname is Li, and his name is white. He is my king's friend for many years, and he has great kindness to me."

Xiao Jing saw that the old man had chosen a name that was extremely asymmetrical to his appearance, and he did not want to insult the poet's charm, so he couldn't help laughing secretly, and said: "Xiao Jing of the beggar gang, I have met Mr. Li."

The old man chuckled, extremely wretched, cupped his hands and said, "Old man Li Bai, I have met Chief Xiao."
