Rebirth of the deer dragon, the leader of the dragon

Chapter 235
"Great." Hong Tianxiao held a small note in his hand and almost jumped up excitedly.

Seeing the Eighteen Arhats escort Xing Chi on the road with his own eyes, Hong Tianxiao also felt relieved, at least he was able to make a deal with Kangxi.Now that the matter of Mount Wutai was over, Hong Tianxiao decided to return to Beijing immediately to report to Kangxi. It had been three months since he came out this time, and after returning to the capital, Sony only had nine more months of life left at most. What's up.Just when Hong Tianxiao and the others were about to set off, he suddenly received a letter from Feige from the Dragon Sect, saying that two of the people Hong Tianxiao had inquired about had already been found, and Hong Tianxiao was overjoyed.

Su Quan was packing his luggage, seeing Hong Tianxiao so excited, he couldn't help but ask, "What's so happy about it?"

"Zhou Peigong, Li Guangdi, I found these two people." The excitement on Hong Tianxiao's face has not yet passed, and he jumped up and down in front of Su Quan like a child holding a note.

"I think it's something, isn't it just to find two people, is it worth the fuss?" Su Quan was not in the interest of Hong Tianxiao, so he just glanced at it and returned the note to him.

"Two people? These are not ordinary two people. If I can get the help of the two of them, it will play a decisive role in my world." Su Quan's reaction made Hong Tianxiao surprised, but after thinking about it, Su Quan also How can we know the ability of these two people?

"Really? Xianggong, are these two people so powerful?" Fang Yi, who was on the side, couldn't help answering Hong Tianxiao's words.

"That's natural. Otherwise, why would I go to such great lengths to find out the whereabouts of these two people? As long as they are willing to come out to help, great things will happen."

"How did senior brother know the talents of these two people?" Su Quan suddenly asked such a question.

"This..." Hong Tianxiao suddenly realized that this question was very difficult to explain, but in desperation he managed to come up with an excuse, "Oh, when I was in the palace that day, I heard some ministers talk about this person, so that I could pay attention to him secretly. , and then send someone to spy secretly."

"Really?" Su Quan gave Hong Tianxiao a suspicious look, then took the note from him, looked at it carefully, and found that it said "After half a year of investigation, it has been confirmed that Li Guangdi is in Anxi Lake, Quanzhou, Fujian. Zhou Peigong, Duodao County, Jingmen, Hubei, Hong Tianxiao hadn't entered the palace six months ago, obviously he was lying, but Su Quan didn't show his face, and put away the note.

An hour later, Hong Tianxiao, Su Quan, Fang Yi, Yang Yizhi, and Yang Jingyue embarked on the road to Jingmen, Hubei. Because of the inconvenience of being bald, the nine princesses were unwilling to go on the road with Hong Tianxiao. In desperation, Hong Tianxiao had no choice but to write a letter to Li Yuejiao, asking Li Xihua to take the Ninth Princess, Jiao Wan'er and others back to the capital first, and settle them down outside the Liu Mansion.

Hubei is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and is located in the north of the Yangtze River. It is also named because it is in the north of Dongting Lake. In the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the Jiangnan East Road, Huainan Road and Shannan East Road; in the Song Dynasty, it belonged to Jinghu North Road, referred to as Hubei Road. In the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangnan and Hubei Roads were established; in the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Huguang Province, and later changed to the province as the Huguang Chief Commissioner; in the early Qing Dynasty, Huguang Province was divided into Hubei Province.

Zhou Peigong's home is in Duodao County, Hubei Province. This is a strange name, but the formation of a place name must have its historical origin. The place name "Duodao" originated from Guan Gong, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.According to the "Jingmen Zhou Zhi" record "Duodaoshi: twenty miles south of the state, in the north of Huanglingpu in the south of Huyaguan, tens of miles around, the ground is high and open, and the master of the pass goes to and from Jingxiang, and soldiers are often stationed here. There are people in front of the tent. The stone, which is blue in color, tasted like a green dragon knife was erected in the crevice of the stone. Now it is moved by hand rubbing, but it cannot be lifted by the strength of a thousand people, so it is called the knife stone. Outside there are remains of the Ma Pao Spring."From the above text records, it can be seen that the Duodao Guandi Temple had a large scale before the early Qing Dynasty. The place name "Duo Dao" is also named after Guan Gong Duo Dao Stone.

It was dusk when the five people arrived in Duodao County, Hong Tianxiao took everyone to the largest inn in the county and asked for a few rooms. After washing up, he went downstairs to eat and inquired about Zhou Peigong. .

"Come on, guest officer, your food and drink has been served, please use it slowly, if you have something to do, just call the waiter." The shop waiter saw that the people were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and did not dare to offend them, so he quickly served all the food and wine ordered by Hong Tianxiao and the others .

After the food and drink were served, before Xiao Er could turn around, Hong Tianxiao put a five taels of silver on the table, and asked with a smile on his face, "Brother Xiao Er, I'm asking you for someone."

"Ah." The waiter in the shop looked at the silver in front of him in surprise, rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he saw it correctly, he grabbed it and put it in his arms, his face was covered with wrinkles that should only be seen in the elderly, "Guest officer, you are considered I have found the right person, no matter male or female, old or young, there is no one in Duodao County that I, Liu Dabao, do not know, I wonder who you want to ask?"

"Zhou Peigong." Hong Tianxiao couldn't help frowning when he saw that the waiter was so verbose.

"Guest officer, you are so lucky, he is my little cousin." The waiter in the shop couldn't help smiling when he heard that Hong Tianxiao was inquiring about Zhou Peigong.

"Your cousin?" Hong Tianxiao almost fainted, he was so lucky, he just asked a junior, he turned out to be Zhou Peigong's nephew, if he was looking for an old man, maybe he would be Zhou Peigong's uncle.Hong Tianxiao calmed down and asked, "Then where does your cousin work now?"

"He is serving as a teacher for the magistrate of this county. The young one lives here thanks to the help of his cousin."

"Master?" Hong Tianxiao thought for a while, no wonder this Duodao County was governed in an orderly manner, it turned out that Zhou Peigong was the master here, he was really overqualified, Hong Tianxiao shook his head secretly.

Hong Tianxiao asked again: "Do you know where Zhou Peigong lives now?"

"You... who are you? Looking for him... What is the purpose of looking for him?" The waiter suddenly felt that the accents of these people were from the north, but they traveled thousands of miles to find Zhou Peigong. There must be some hidden secrets in them, so he dared not Tell Zhou Peigong's residence casually, so as not to ruin his life.

"Second brother, don't worry, we have absolutely no malicious intentions." Of course Hong Tianxiao knew why the waiter was hesitant. It seemed that although he was greedy for money, he had a good heart, so he smiled and said, "We are entrusted here, please ask him Go out and become a high official." Hong Tianxiao's words were true, if Zhou Peigong really came out to help, and Hong Tianxiao won the world in the future, he would naturally be a high official.

"Really?" After all, Xiao Er was only a fourteen or fifteen year old child, so he easily believed Hong Tianxiao's words. After all, the word "senior official" held infinite weight in his heart.

"Really." Hong Tianxiao nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Second brother, you don't look like a few of us are bad guys. Besides, if we are really bad guys, we should naturally bring a team of officers and soldiers. How could we bring them? How many women are there?"

"That's true, how can such a beautiful woman be a bad person, I'm so stupid." Xiaoer patted his head and said to himself.

"Puchi", seeing the innkeeper's stupid look, the three girls couldn't help laughing anymore, and the inn clerk blushed all of a sudden, but he was also very happy to be laughed at by the three fairy-like beauties. Yes, but this incident also became a legendary story that he would brag about everywhere in the future.

Speechless all night, early the next morning, Hong Tianxiao and others found Zhou Peigong's residence according to what the waiter said.

"This is Mr. Zhou Peigong. I don't know what advice you guys have." In the past few days, Zhou Peigong has nothing to do, so he is studying at home. Early in the morning, he heard a report from his servants, saying that five people from the capital asked to see him. Gongxin wondered, thinking to himself that he had no relatives or friends in the capital, why five people came all of a sudden.So he went out to have a look, and found that the five men were heroic men and beautiful women, and all of them wore swords.

"Hong Tianxiao in Liaodong, Mr. Suwen is a great talent. I'm here to visit today. I hope you can give me some advice. Please don't blame me if I'm presumptuous." Just as Zhou Peigong was looking at Hong Tianxiao's five people, Hong Tianxiao was also secretly looking at Zhou Peigong. Seeing that he is really handsome and talented, he is already very happy in his heart.

"Liaodong? Hong Tianxiao? I haven't heard of it." Zhou Peigong thought about it, but found that this was the first time he had heard of this name, and said, "Where, sir, the humble house is really full of splendor, please. Use tea inside." Among the crowd, only Hong Tianxiao didn't have a sword on his body, Zhou Peigong couldn't figure out what his background was, and he was very polite to listen to him, so it was hard to keep him out, and he couldn't find any words for a while To address him, he had to be called Mr.

"I have always been puzzled by something in my heart. I heard that Mr. is a talented person in the world, and he came here specially from the capital. Please give me your advice." After sitting down, Hong Tianxiao took a sip of tea, gently closed the lid, and put the teacup on the table At the meeting, the conversation to recruit Zhou Peigong began.

"Mr., you are being polite. How dare you call him a virtuous person? I just read the book for a few days. I don't know what Mr. Hong is confused about. I would like to do my best." The more polite Hong Tianxiao was, the more confused Zhou Peigong was. His purpose was to even guess that Hong Tianxiao was sent by the imperial court to secretly investigate him.
