Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 11 Befriend or eradicate?

In addition to worrying about Dao Baifeng's reputation and the royal family's face, Zhu Danchen was also worried about Zhao Mu himself.

He had just learned Yun Zhonghe's martial arts, and the four villains were all top-notch masters at that time. And Zhao Mu severely injured Yun Zhonghe with just one move. This level of strength was enough to put the entire Dali martial arts world on alert.

Is this person an enemy? Is it a friend? What is the purpose of coming here?

Can I show my kindness and make friends?

All this is an unknown.

Out of caution, Zhu Danchen had to investigate thoroughly.

In order to verify it thoroughly, Zhu Danchen pretended to say: "Haha, little brother, this map is indeed from decades ago. Times have changed over the decades, and there have been many changes in the roads in our country of Dali. Use this map It’s really hard to move.”

Zhu Danchen raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Mu and asked: "I don't know where the little brother entered Dali. What roads he took. I can also point it out one by one for the little brother."

Zhao Mu still had doubts when he saw Zhu Danchen, and he told him frankly. The two of them talked to each other, explaining where Zhao Mu had gone and how he ended up here.

Zhu Danchen silently remembered Zhao Mu's words and the route he took in his heart. After returning to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, he sent someone to investigate.

After all, Zhao Mu is from the Central Plains.

Moreover, transportation in ancient times was not very convenient, with cars, boats, shops, and many strongmen on the road.

Ordinary people rarely travel far. As long as a stranger comes to a place, the locals will have some impression.

Whether what Zhao Mu said was true or not, Zhu Danchen only had to send someone to check with the local villagers, and everything would become clear.

Zhu Danchen then respectfully handed the map back to Zhao Mu, then turned around and saluted Dao Baifeng and said: "Jade Xu Sanren, I heard that the four evil men have all arrived in Dali this time, and the martial arts of the other three are even more unfathomable. And Yun Zhonghe already knows where you live. In my humble opinion, Yuxu Sanren should go back home for a while."

When Dao Baifeng heard Zhu Danchen talk about something old again, she let out a long sigh, and then said: "Why should I go back? I am already a monk! Even if the four evil people come together, it will be nothing more than death." Dao Baifeng Feng then said with a sad tone and a bit of anger, "Even if I die, I'm afraid he won't shed a single tear. On the contrary."

Dao Baifeng originally wanted to say, "If I die, no one will stop Duan Zhengchun from being happy."

But when she saw her son and "daughter-in-law" standing around, she swallowed all the family scandal.

Duan Yu was still thinking about the portrait of the beauty that Zhao Mu had "inadvertently" shown just now. But at this moment Zhu Danchen winked at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu turned around and understood.

Duan Yu saw his mother's sad look and quickly stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Mom! I have seen those evil people before. They are all very bad. The one named Yue Laosan forced his son to become his disciple. If they It's very bad to have them all come to our door. If you don't want to go home, then go live with your uncle first. My aunt misses you very much!"

Even with her son's coquettish pleading, Dao Baifeng was unwilling to return to that cold home. Although Dao Baifeng was not a flirtatious person, she felt that she and Zhao Mu would be much more carefree and happy here for a few days than they had been in the palace for many years.

She would rather be with this thief who defiled her than her husband who was sweet-talking and secretive about her. At least this thief was really tender towards her. Seeing that his mother was still unwilling, Duan Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Since mother doesn't want to go back, my son will stay with her here. When the four evil men attack, my son and my mother will fight together."

Duan Yu looked at Zhu Danchen and said, "Brother Zhu, go and tell my uncle and my father that we, mother and son, will work together to resist the four evil men here."

Zhao Mu saw that it was almost done. He slowly put away the map and said, "Taoist Master Yuxu, I think what this elder brother said is true. The four evil men are notorious and cruel. When I was in the Central Plains, I have also heard that the four of them are here together, and it is really difficult to deal with them. This place is remote and isolated. I think it is best for the Taoist Master to stay away for a while."

Seeing that Zhao Mu also tried to persuade him, Zhu Danchen continued: "Yes, this little brother is right. If something really happens to you, then Zhu Danchen has no way to report it to the master."

Duan Yu said, "Yes, mother. Please don't embarrass Fourth Brother Zhu. The child will be taken care of by Fourth Brother Zhu during this journey."

Zhu Danchen continued: "Yes, my lord has always missed you very much. If Yuxu Sanren goes back, my lord will definitely be very happy."

Dao Baifeng snorted coldly, but now that Zhao Mu had spoken, she also considered the threat of the four villains, and then said: "That's okay. Then I will go back and stay for a while, Yu'er, and we will be together after I go back. Your aunt said that I would move to live with her for a few days."

Duan Yu was so happy when he heard that his mother was willing to go back. He grabbed his mother and said coquettishly, "That's great! Our family can finally be reunited."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mu packed his bags and then said, "Congratulations to Taoist Priest Yuxu and his family for their reunion. I would like to thank Master Yuxu for taking care of him during this trip." After saying this, Zhao Mu bowed and bowed three times to Dao Baifeng.

After Zhao Mu finished his salute, he said, "In that case, I will take my leave. If there is any difficulty for Yuxu San people in the future, I am willing to do my best to repay today's kindness." After saying this, Zhao Mu clasped his fists and said, "I'll take my leave, everyone!"

Just as Zhao Mu was about to leave, Zhu Danchen and Duan Yu stopped Zhao Mu on both sides.

Although both of them were surprised by the other's behavior, they really couldn't let Zhao Mu leave at the moment.

Duan Yu was thinking about the portrait of the "fairy sister" in Zhao Mu's bag. When Zhao Mu discussed the route with Zhu Danchen just now, Duan Yu also heard that he wanted to go to Wuliang Mountain.

Zhao Mu had a portrait of "Sister Immortal" in his bag, and he was going to Wuliang Mountain again, presumably to the blessed land of Langhuan. Duan Yu was very curious about the identity of the "fairy sister", maybe the person in front of him could tell her some origins. Duan Yu naturally refused to let Zhao Mu leave like this.

As for Zhu Danchen's idea, it was much simpler. He just wanted to keep Zhao Mu by his side first, and then send someone to verify what Zhao Mu said. If what Zhao Mu said was true, then he helped repel Yun Zhonghe again this time. Then he reported to Prince Ming and Emperor Baoding to reward Zhao Mu heavily in order to make friends with such a mysterious master as Zhao Mu.

But if what Zhao Mu said was false, then luring him into the palace would allow everyone to work together to surround and kill him. After all, Zhao Mu was able to defeat Yun Zhonghe with one palm, Zhu Danchen was confident that this person's martial arts skills were far superior to his. I can't take him down by myself.

If Zhao Mulong is really allowed to enter the sea, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to find him.

When Zhao Mu saw both of them stopping him, he pretended to be confused and asked, "What are you two doing?"

Duan Yu took the lead and said politely: "Master Zhao, this time you helped us defeat Yun Zhonghe, which can be said to be a life-saving grace. Although our Dali is located in the south of the world, it is also a country of etiquette. Master Zhao, I am kind to you. We, how can we not retaliate? The humble house is in Dali City, not far from here. I also invite Mr. Zhao to stay in the humble house for a few days, so that we can show our friendship as landlords."
