The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Zhao Tong saw the drawing and asked Bai Ao to make it, and then started to think about it.

Originally, this was just a small incident that happened by chance, and compensating for the other party's bead necklace was just a casual matter, but what Bai Ao reported when he came back aroused a suspicion in his heart.

He always felt like he had seen the name Li Zhi somewhere before, but his photographic memory now did not mean it had always been like this. Before this era, although his memory was good, he could not remember it completely at a glance.

I must have seen this name before, but I can't remember where it came from.

Zhao Tong breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly.

In addition to the name, the origin of Xiao Lizhi is also worthy of scrutiny.

Normally, if you open a shop in a busy city, you should meet a lot of people. Not only the owner of the liquor shop, but also not a few people will recognize her daughter.

But she had been away from home for several years, saying she was studying martial arts in another place and had just returned.

It is best for the neighbors to prove that a person is real or fake, but she was not at home during the critical years.

At her current age, the past few years were the time when her body and body changed the most. The so-called female transformation refers to that age stage.

After a few years of absence, he has grown taller and his appearance has changed, making it difficult for even the neighbors to recognize him.

These are all doubts. Zhao Tao narrowed his eyes, but they are just doubts. There is no conclusive evidence to prove anything.

There is also a bead necklace, a gift from a childhood sweetheart, which is worth pondering.

If the other party really has some agenda and has laid out a trap plan, then this rhetoric will only be superfluous and cause complications.

Assuming that all of this was designed, then the person who designed it must be very thoughtful and extremely intelligent, and would not leave such a big flaw to make himself doubtful.

In this case, what does childhood sweetheart mean?
Is it really a coincidence that happened on the road, or is someone with ulterior motives planning a bigger picture?

If it's the overall situation, what role can the so-called childhood sweethearts play in this situation?
Zhao Tong touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Unknowingly, he thought of Baohua again. After a long time, he sighed slightly.

After so many years, Baohua’s grave may be covered with wormwood branches. As time goes by, spring flowers and autumn leaves, vegetation flourishes and withers, and ten years of life and death are blurred...

Huang Shang's face looked ugly at the moment. The old bachelor rarely had this expression when walking outside. He was really angry.

Bai Zhan came forward several times in turn, revealing many things, some and some, adding fuel to the fire. Some of the things Ouyang Bei had done were placed on Huang Gu's head, and he kept complaining.

Bai Zhan said: "Old man, did you lose a piece of black iron that you had treasured for a long time at home?"

Huang Shang wondered: "There is a piece that has been lost for more than ten years."

Bai Zhan slapped his thigh: "I asked the owner to steal it, and it was placed in the broken jade building. The owner polished it every day, but he couldn't do it himself, so he asked your majesty... He asked your majesty to find a craftsman to forge and smelt it." The remaining materials for the epee and Ouyang Bei were spent on drinking at Goulan."

"Did that scoundrel steal it? Did you ask the craftsman your Majesty found?" Huang Shang was stunned.

"Isn't it?" Bai Zhan rolled his eyes: "I lied to His Majesty that I picked it up on the mountain in the suburbs."

"I'm so angry!"

Ding Erxie hurriedly took over the conversation: "Old bachelor, you still don't know, the host has changed his last name."

"Huh? What?"

"The original poster is known as Dugu."

"What Dugu? Why did you change your last name? What does he want to do?"

Ding Erxie sighed: "How could we brothers know that not only did the original poster change his surname, he also changed his first name."

"The name has also been changed? What is it called?"

"Dugu Bubai!" Ding Erxie said in a low voice.

"Dugu Bubai? With his three-legged cat kung fu, do you dare to be called Bubai?"

"Oh, isn't it? Later, the poster probably also thought something was wrong, so he changed it again."

"Change it again, what should I change this time?"

Ding Er Xie blinked his eyes: "The poster changed his name to Dugu Qiubai!"

"Dugu Qiubai? He is somewhat self-aware... What, what did you just say?"

"Dugu Qiubai, old bachelor!" Ding Erxie looked serious.

"He, he dares to call such a name?!" Huang Shang was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared, begging for defeat, seeking defeat, isn't it more arrogant and arrogant than being invincible, being arrogant and treating the world's heroes as if they are nothing?

"This bastard, this bastard..." Huang Shang didn't know what to say. This was simply too arrogant!

This bastard is called Qiufei, so what is his father's name? Could it be that the bastard also wants to be defeated in front of me like him?
"Okay, okay, I think this name is good. You Huang Zhuangyuan and Yu Wen have already reached the top. Are you still not allowed to take the lead in martial arts?" A high-pitched voice suddenly came from the carriage behind.

Huang Shang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Mi Douzhi said it easily, but this is the name given to the child with a yellow mouth?"

The man in the carriage said: "What a child with a yellow mouth? The child is already several years old. You are still a child with a yellow mouth. I think you are living in vain at your age."

Huang Shang's face twitched, it was Mi Zhenting who spoke in the car.

Before, he took Huo Sizhu to ask Mi Zhenting about the shaman immortal knowledge. Unexpectedly, Mi Zhenting became interested and said that he had not left the capital for decades and wanted to go out for a walk this time. The bones can still move, let's see if he can make some more military exploits for the country.

So the four of them set out on the road, drove two chariots, and took a few horses with them, and headed straight to the north.

"Okay, hurry up and enter the city. Your Majesty doesn't know if I'm following an old man, and you don't know if he will dislike it." Mi Zhenting said again.

"Let's go to the city for now, wait for that bastard to come back, and see how I deal with him!" Huang Shang said harshly, looking at Bai Zhan and all the people from Broken Yulou: "When the time comes, you all come over and point out what this bastard did to his face. , I see what else he has to say!”

"Okay, old bachelor, don't worry, we will definitely testify!" A group of people immediately clasped their fists and saluted, filled with joy in their hearts. Regardless of whether the other party was a father and son, in short, the old bachelor was so angry that he would definitely have enough to drink when the poster came back. …

After a while, Zhongjing arrived at the palace.

After the etiquette was completed, Zhao Tong asked a few people to sit down, and then looked at Mi Zhenting with a smile: "Why are you here, too?" Mi Zhenting said, "Although I am old and feeble, I still want to do my best for the country, so I will burn it." As long as your majesty doesn't mind it, I'm willing to go north with the army to deal with the great shaman."

Zhao Tong nodded: "I know that my martial arts skills are great, so how can I dislike him? I know that I want to do my best for the country, and I can't ask for it."

After saying that, he didn't look at Huang Shang. Huang Shang's dark face made him full of anger. He must have been fighting in vain for a long time.

His eyes fell on Huo Sizui and said, "This time we have Mr. Lao Huo."

Huo Siju said: "You have to work hard for your country if you do your best. Your Majesty is too polite."

Zhao Tong smiled and looked at Huo Xuanji again. The little girl was not sitting down, but stood behind Huo Xuanjiu.

Alas, it's no longer fun when I grow up. Zhao Tong still misses Huo Xuanji when she was a child, not too big and with a delicate appearance.

He stretched out his hand and measured Huo Xuanji up and down, which meant that he had grown taller. The corners of Huo Xuanji's mouth were slightly raised, and her long eyelashes were raised upward, which meant that I didn't see it, and I didn't grow up.

Zhao Tong shook his head, asked everyone to drink tea, and then said slowly: "What is so special about this great shaman, and how high is his martial arts?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Mi Zhenting, because Mi Zhenting had met this great shaman before and even fought against him.

Mi Zhenting put down his tea cup, narrowed his eyes, and fell into memories. After a while, he said:

"In the first year of Shenzong Xining's reign, I briefly guarded the border under an order. I met the shaman Immortal Zhi at the Huoshan Army in the north of Hedong Road. At that time, the Liao Kingdom's worship of Buddhism had reached its extreme. The Immortal Zhi was dissatisfied and wanted to He went to Xixia to propagate the Erxian Sect and fight against Buddhism in the Liao Kingdom. However, the Khitan Kingdom was prosperous at that time and it was easy to be detected when walking along the Liao-Xia border, so he thought of passing through the Song Dynasty through the Volcano Army and then to Xixia. "

"Originally, based on her martial arts skills, this side might not have noticed, but I happened to be there at that time. Not only was I there, but my senior brother Fang Mengchou, who is known to have an enemy in the south, was also there."

"Fang Mengchou!" Zhao Tong nodded when he heard this: "I know this person, but I didn't expect it to be Senior Brother Mi Duzhi. It seems that Mi Duzhi and Li Xuanqing have a long-standing grudge."

Li Xuanqing was Tong Guan's godfather Li Xian. Li Xian was in charge of the military affairs at Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road, and he served as the envoy to Xuanqing for his outstanding achievements, so he was known as Li Xuanqing in the world.

One of them lives in the north and is nicknamed the Invincible in the North. The other is in the south of the Yangtze River and is known as the enemy in the south. He is not born to deal with them.

As for Mi Zhenting, Fang Mengchou's younger brother, who was also in the court, he and Li Xian disliked each other.

Both of them had fought with Li Xian before. Zhao Tong didn't know the outcome of Fang Mengchou's battle, but Mi Zhenting was slightly inferior and was no match for Li Xian.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to know about my senior brother. I am lucky enough to be able to enter the holy world."

Zhao Tong smiled: "Is he still there?"

Mi Zhenting shook his head: "Before the world boxing champion Jin Tai went to live in seclusion overseas, my senior brother went to ask for advice. Then he never returned to Tokyo. Instead, he turned around and went to southern Xinjiang. There has been no news for decades, and he is probably gone. "

Zhao Tong touched his chin: "Isn't he still alive? Then he became a monk in which temple in the south?"

Mi Zhenting was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, what does Your Majesty mean by this?
"This... I really don't know. After all, after senior brother left, he didn't even write any letters."

"Well, keep talking."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mi Zhenting continued: "There is a spring under the volcano on the border of the Volcano Army. The water is sweet. People from the Liao Dynasty often cross the border to get water. At that time, I was also responsible for the inspection of the Volcano Army, so I went to check it with my senior brother. I am encountering the Great Immortal who knows how to cross the border."

"Originally, most of the Liao people there were civilians, so the Immortal knew that if they came in disguise, they would not attract attention. However, my minister and I are both martial artists, especially since my senior brother was already a half-step grandmaster at that time, and even if he was only a step away from being a grandmaster, he was only a step away. He could see that the woman mixed in the crowd had extraordinary martial arts skills."

"Of course that's not the real face of the Great Immortal, but the disguise is even more suspicious. My senior brother asked me to remain calm and follow her quietly to see what she wanted. Unexpectedly, I didn't go very far when I was discovered by her at the foot of the volcano."

"Was she the only one at that time?" Zhao Tong asked.

"It looked like there was only one person, but actually there were two." Mi Zhenting recalled.

"How do you say this?" Zhao Tong frowned slightly.

Mi Zhenting sighed and said: "Even now, I still can't understand this matter. It seems that there is one person, but after hitting it, it becomes two. Then the other one will hide and disappear, and suddenly he can run away again." come out."

Zhao Tong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but this was a bit mysterious. How could such a thing happen without blindness? However, Brother Mi Zhenting was very skilled in martial arts, so it would take an extremely powerful blindness to prevent the two of them from seeing the clues.

"Tell me carefully!"

"Yes, the Great Immortal noticed that my senior brother and I were following him, so he went up the volcano. The two of us were fast enough to keep up, but the soldiers behind us all disappeared, and then they started fighting on the mountain."

Zhao Tong nodded. This volcano was not an erupting volcano. It was just a name for the mountain. Hence the place name Volcano Army. Yang Zhi’s ancestor, the Volcano King Yang Gun, was also nicknamed for this reason.

"Originally, I was the only one who took action. After all, it was unreasonable for two of us to beat a woman like her. At that time, the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty was still harmonious, and they just wanted to capture her alive for interrogation."

"The result was that you wouldn't know if you didn't hit her. She was shocked when she hit her. I couldn't move more than ten moves in her hands. Senior brother saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly stepped forward to help. At this time, a man came out from behind her... …”

"The man was wearing a mask with a ghost face, and he came out from nowhere. There was no way such a big living person could be hidden under the clothes of the Great Prophet. My senior brother and I were both frightened, and then we realized that the matter was serious. How could there be such a strange person? The country's masters sneaked in, saying that they were planning something big, so they immediately fought together again. "

Zhao Tong reached out and tapped the table: "Two people, men, wearing masks with ghost faces, the Second Immortal Sect, could it be..."

"Your Majesty, I later suspected that the man was the deputy leader of the Erxian Sect, but no evidence was ever found."

"In the Second Immortal Sect, the Great Immortal is the leader, which is also the so-called Great God among shamans. The deputy leader is the second god among shamans. That's why it is called the Second Immortal Sect. Your suspicion should be correct. The man with the grimace is very likely to It’s the Second God, the deputy leader of the Erxian Sect,” Zhao Tong thought.

"But I and my senior brother didn't know it at the time. They just thought it was very strange. When they started fighting again, they found that the man with the grimace was not as good as the woman in martial arts. But even so, the woman's martial arts skills were too high. Both the subject and the senior brother were injured. When they saw that they were invincible, what happened next? The soldiers finally arrived and the other party stopped."

"Then the woman revealed her identity. Only then did I and my senior brother realize that she was the great shaman's immortal knower."

"She said she wanted to use the road to go to the Xia Kingdom, but I refused. Who knows what she planned to do in the past, but I didn't dare to shoot her with arrows at that time. After all, the other party had a special status, for fear of causing a dispute between Song and Liao. Later she He retreated, but he didn't expect that after a few years, he would abandon Liao and join the Jurchens..."

Zhao Tong heard this and said: "Since the other party is in disguise, you two should not be able to tell her age back then. Even if she was young at the time, she may not still be alive after so many years. Will the Great Immortal at this moment have changed?" Someone else?"

Mi Zhenting said: "I don't think so. I have conducted an investigation through the Intelligence Department. The Great Immortal was in his thirties at the time, and all the Great Immortals who have always lived as shamans have lived more than 100 years. They should still be alive now." right."

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "If she were still alive, how high do you think her martial arts skills would be now?"

Mi Zhenting said: "I feel that based on her ability back then, now... she should at least touch the threshold of the heavenly realm..."
