The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 410
More than half a month.

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River gradually turns from cold to hot, and it becomes the most refreshing season of each year.

Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu finally arrived at Jiangnan East Road.

This place has not been affected by war for more than ten years, and it gradually regains its vitality. You can see many talented scholars and beautiful women outing in the suburbs, and you can also see Gaoliang children in fresh clothes and angry horses.

Longhu Mountain is located at the border of the East and West Roads in the south of the Yangtze River.

The three of Zhao Dongting were dressed in ordinary clothes, and they didn't look conspicuous in the crowd.

I never thought that Boyan and Ye Su'er would send troops to Longxing Mansion before, so there were no unexpected things happened along the way.

Arriving at the foot of Longhu Mountain, looking at the clear river and beautiful mountain peaks, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this place is really a treasured place of geomantic omen.

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

The sky is blue, with white clouds.

This can be described as a rare human family environment.In addition, those shy women who came out for an outing looked a little brighter.

Women in Jiangnan always have a smoky air of weakness.

On the stone steps of Longhu Mountain, there is an endless stream of pilgrims going up and down the mountain.As the ancestral home of Taoism in the world, no matter how the country is, the incense of Longhu Mountain will never be cut off.

Zhao Dongting looked up for a while, but he didn't go up the mountain, but said to Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu: "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 that of the county seat.

It is rumored that Zhang Daoling, the patriarch of Taoism, searched for places with dragon veins all over the country before setting up his ancestral home on Mount Longhu. He passed through Liuxian Town, and stayed in Liuxian Town for several days because of the enthusiasm of the residents in the town. I discovered the hidden vein of Longhu Mountain, Dingzuting Longhu Mountain. After the rise of Taoism, Liuxian Town got its name.

In Liuxian Town, every household is enshrined in the statue of Zhang Daoling.

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

In front of the statue, tributes were placed, and many people knelt down to pray for blessings.

Such a place can be said to be impenetrable, even if it is Buddhism, it is impossible to take root here.

Zhao Dongting raised his head to look at Zhang Daoling's floating god statue, and felt a burst of peace.

The three dismounted and led the 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, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will not be affected.

And in fact, it is.

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

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

The residents in the town also seem to have gentle faces, except for the outsiders, there are very few vicious looks.

The whole town was filled with a faint and refreshing scent of incense.

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

Zhao Dongting just glanced casually, leading Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu straight to the depths of the city.

He has probably practiced mathematics and science, and there is a "Guiyuan Xiangpu" shop next to him that fixes his eyes.

"It's here."

Zhao Dongting paused and walked towards Guiyuan Incense Shop.

Inside, there were two young servants who were fiddling with things. When Zhao Dongting came in, he hurriedly asked, "What do you need, the guest officer?"

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

Zhao Dongting scanned the shop and said, "I need three statues."

The eyes of the two young servants narrowed quietly, and the one with the darker complexion replied, "May I ask which three do you need?"

Zhao Dongting said: "One Zhongwu, one Golden Dragon, one Tiantian."

"Guest officer, please go inside."

The two servants looked at each other, and the servant who had just spoken pointed to the inside of the shop, and led Zhao Dongting and the others inside.

Their conversation just now was naturally a code word.

Zhao Dongting ordered Wu Lianying to set up dark halls all over the country to obtain and transmit information. Although Liuxian Town is only a town, it is located in the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain, so there are also such dark halls specially set up here.And the code words of each dark hall are different, and Zhao Dongting was troubled for several days just designing these connection codes.

"Shopkeeper, there are some distinguished customers who bought three Buddha statues."

Walking into the shop, there is a courtyard.The yard is surrounded by houses, which is a small courtyard.

In the courtyard, there are many wooden statues of gods.

As soon as the boy made a sound, a middle-aged man came out from the room on the left and looked at Zhao Dongting and the others with a faint flash of light in his eyes.

This is a practitioner, you can tell by his thick hands.

"Where is the distinguished guest?"

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

Zhao Dongting said: "From the source."

The source represents the imperial palace.

The middle-aged man showed a little surprise.He has taken root here for two years, and occasionally information has been passed in and out, but no one has ever come from the palace.

But now that he has met the code, he will naturally no longer have any doubts about Zhao Dongting's identity.

The people in the Military Intelligence Department have all been strictly trained in modern spy training methods. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are loyal to the Song Dynasty, and it is unlikely that anyone will secretly inform the Yuan Dynasty.

Then the middle-aged man asked again: "What do you need?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Is there anything sent from the source recently?"

"Guest officer wait a moment!"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and walked into the house again.

When he came out again, he already 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 just looked at it like this.

The middle-aged man was surprised when he saw his mouth constantly moving.

As the person in charge of this contact point, he still knows some secrets.The various intelligence letters sent and received by Da Song are replaced by codes, just like the letters in the army, all of which are written with numbers, even he does not understand what these numbers represent.And Zhao Dongting can understand these letters, which is enough to show that Zhao Dongting is at least equal to him, and is the head of a dark hall.

But will the hall master run around?

Obviously 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 expression became a little dignified.

These letters came early and late, not at the same time.The earliest letter was about Chen Yizhong. He didn't open up the situation in Yueli Dynasty at all. Instead, he bought a house in the city and lived a luxurious life. Even now, there are still many people in that house. Few servants, did not sell.

"It really is a big traitor..."

Zhao Dongting murmured in his heart.

The second letter was about Xixia.

A Xixia secret envoy came to Haikang, saying that Xixia was ready to restore the country, and asked Zhao Dongting whether he would follow the agreement and exchange Princess Mingzhu for Li Xiushu from the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting was somewhat disapproving of this.The war in Guangxi is over, and he no longer needs Xixia's help at all.

In other words, Xixia Kingdom actually has no chance to cooperate with him.

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

The third letter actually said that the White Horse Army intends to go out of Shuzhong to take the land of Kuizhou.

The fourth letter said that Qin Han stayed in Dali and became Duan Zhixing's most important person.

After reading these, Zhao Dongting understood that Shuzhong and Dali were actually Duan Zhixing's forces.Duan Zhixing really admired Chen Cang secretly.

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

"Bring a pen and paper."

After pondering for a while, Zhao Dongting spoke.

The middle-aged man walked into the room again, took out the paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and placed them on the table.

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

It means to let Xixia stop the white horse, send envoys to Zhongdu, at the junction of Guangnan West Road and Jiangnan West Road, and replace Princess Pearl with Li Xiushu.

After finishing writing, he folded up the letter, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said, "Quickly send this letter back to the source."

His aura made the middle-aged man dare not neglect, and he quickly agreed, "Yes."

After speaking, he walked outside.

Zhao Dongting looked up, looked at the blue sky through the old camphor tree with luxuriant branches above his head, and murmured: "I still want to take advantage of the fire, how can there be such a good thing..."
