Martial arts: A Taoist friend, Li Mochou cried

Wu Qing came to the table slowly, picked up a few pieces of paper and glanced at them quickly, then put it down, raised his head and asked, "How about the casualties on the Persian side?"

Zhui Ming shook his head and said: "There are not many casualties, but all the food and supplies of these people sank into the sea, and the remaining thousands of people gathered outside the city, wanting to seek help from the imperial court."

Hearing this, Ruthless could not help but frown.

Thousands of people, and all of them are Persian Mingjiao people, and everyone must have some martial arts.

With such a force, it's no wonder that those in the imperial court were frightened.

Ruthless suddenly asked: "Why are all the Persian warships destroyed? Have you investigated this matter clearly?"

Zhui Ming nodded and said with a smile: "I asked two Persian businessmen to inquire about it, and they said that the warship was destroyed by God's punishment."

"God's punishment?" Ruthlessly startled.

Zhui Ming scratched his head and said, "I don't know too well, it seems that many stones fell from the sky and sank all their warships."

"Meteorite from beyond the sky?" Ruthlessly asked in surprise.

"If it's a meteorite, it's really a punishment from heaven." Zhui Ming laughed.

Wuqing sighed, and said: "Forget about this, what is the opinion of the imperial court now?"

Zhui Ming wryly smiled and said: "The big masters in the imperial court are still discussing with the court, so there should be a lot of quarrel."

Ruthlessly fell silent.

Thousands of Persians, this matter is indeed more difficult.

No one would dare to put these people into the city easily, but if they don't let them go, these people will probably cause trouble.

Just when Wuqing was also feeling a headache, Zhuge Zhengwo walked in unhurriedly.

Zhui Ming hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, but the court has a result?"

Zhuge Zhengwo nodded and said, "There is indeed a result."

Zhui Ming showed joy on his face, and said, "Should we send troops to expel all these people?"

Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and said, "It's not expulsion, but a batch of food will be sent to them first, and they will be temporarily stationed outside the city and not allowed to enter Lin'an City."

Zhui Ming couldn't help but slapped the table vigorously, and cursed: "Which bastard came up with such a bad idea? The frontline soldiers don't care about logistics, and they still want to send food to these Fanbanghu people?"

Zhugezheng glanced at him and said calmly: "It's the old man's idea."

Zhui Ming was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I'll just say, who else in the court can come up with such a way to get the best of both worlds, Uncle Shi is really resourceful and resourceful."

Chapter 116 New Year's Eve

Outside Lin'an City.

The Three Envoys of Fengyunyue and the Twelve Twelve Tree Kings lived in the ruined temple, looking at the light rain outside, everyone's expression was not very good.

Although they had already guessed that the Song Dynasty court would not let them enter the city, everyone still had a glimmer of expectation in their hearts.

This kind of expectation disappeared when a large number of forbidden troops stationed near them.

Obviously, the imperial court of Song Dynasty dispatched the forbidden army just to guard against them.

Now the situation of the Persian Mingjiao people is not very good. They have lost their food supplies and goods. They even have problems with food, let alone accommodation.

For a few of them, it is not bad to have a ruined temple to live in. Ordinary Persian disciples can only choose to camp outside.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Miao Fengshi suddenly said: "I have an idea, why not seek help from the Ming Cult of China, they are a branch of my Persian Ming Cult, and there is an order from the main altar, I believe I dare not refuse to listen."

Huiyue Envoy shook his head, and said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains that distant water cannot save a nearby fire, not to mention that the Ming Cult of Central Earth may not necessarily listen to us now."

Liuyun Envoy said in a deep voice: "I think it's better for us to attack Lin'an City directly. I heard that the Song Dynasty court is weak, maybe they will let us in if they are afraid."

As he spoke, Liu Yunshi looked at King Chang Sheng among the twelve treasure tree kings, and asked, "What is King Chang Sheng thinking?"

This person is the one with the highest martial arts among the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings. If he really wants to attack the city, he must be relied on to fight against the masters of the Song Dynasty court.

King Chang Sheng frowned, and said, "Lin'an is the capital of the Song Kingdom, so it might be difficult for us to capture it."

Another Treasure Tree King suddenly said: "Could it be that you are not afraid of the scourge of God coming again?"

Hearing this, everyone trembled slightly.

Regardless of whether it was really a scourge or man-made, these people simply had no power to resist that kind of destructive power.

Suddenly, a Persian Mingjiao disciple rushed in in the rain, his face full of excitement.

"See the envoy, King of the Treasure Tree!"

This Persian Mingjiao disciple wiped the rainwater off his face and said excitedly, "The court of Song Dynasty sent us food."

"Really?"

Everyone was surprised and delighted, and rushed out one after another, ignoring the fact that it was still raining outside.

At this moment, everyone was thinking about the issue of follow-up survival, and completely forgot about the search for the saint.

…………

As night fell, the rain in Lin'an City gradually stopped.

Not long after, fireworks started to go off everywhere in the city.

Surrounded by bright fireworks, a bustling and bustling scene.

Today is New Year's Eve, there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and everyone stays at home to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

At this time, Zhang Chu's yard was also very lively. Everyone bought countless fireworks and set them off in the yard.

Although Tianshan Child Elder looks like a girl, she has no interest in these things, but she didn't spoil everyone's interest, she just watched the excitement from the sidelines.

Dai Qisi had been terrified for a few days, when she heard that the Persian warships were all destroyed at sea, she felt much relieved.

I believe those people of the Persian Ming Cult probably have no intention of arresting her at this moment.

She was wearing a white fox fur, looking at Xiao Zhao and Yin Li who were setting off fireworks, with a long-lost smile on her face.

Dai Qisi looked at Zhang Chu who was bored reading a book.

Regarding the destruction of the Persian warship, she didn't believe it was a scourge at all.

But if it was destroyed by Zhang Chu, it would be too unimaginable. Can such a method really be done by manpower?

But his daughter Xiaozhao firmly believed that this incident was done by Mr. Zhang.

Dai Qisi asked several times, but Xiao Zhao faltered and refused to reveal to her.

Although she still didn't know the truth, she already believed it eight percent in her heart.

If Mr. Zhang hadn't made the move, who else in the world would help her?

If God really looked at her pitifully and sent down divine punishment, why did he make her so unfortunate before?

At this moment, Dai Qisi's beautiful eyes looking at Zhang Chu are full of splendor.

Fortunately, she stayed here at the beginning, otherwise, I am afraid that she would inevitably be taken back to Persia and endure the inhumane torture of being burned at the stake.

"My lord, don't you need to light a candle to read?"

Suddenly, Yin Li leaned over to Zhang Chu and asked curiously.

Before Zhang Chu opened his mouth, Tianshan Child Elder said flatly: "Mr. Zhang's martial arts has been practiced to the point where he can see at night, so naturally he doesn't need any candles."

"So that's how it is." Yin Li suddenly said.

Zhang Chu didn’t expect that Tianshan Child Elder had already found a reason for him, and it saved him from making excuses.

After the fireworks were set off, Yin Li and Xiao Zhao were ready to go back to cook.

Zhang Chu closed the book, and suddenly said: "Are you interested in having a party tonight?"

"An evening party? What is an evening party?" Yin Li stopped in his tracks and asked in amazement.

"Spring Festival Gala."

Zhang Chu said with a smile, "it's just to find someone to perform."

Yin Li's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, I'll perform and sing."

As she spoke, she suddenly regretted and said, "It's a pity Miss Lei Chun isn't here, otherwise she could come to play the piano and play the accompaniment like last time."

"Who said I wasn't here?"

A laughing voice suddenly sounded.

The next moment, Lei Chun, dressed in a black brocade robe, stepped through the courtyard gate and appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at Lei Chun, who was still beautiful but thinner, Yin Li was surprised and delighted, and hurried forward to grab Lei Chun's hand.

"Miss Lei Chun, why are you here?"

"I came to see you specially." Lei Chun smiled.

Saying that, Lei Chun looked at Zhang Chu again, and said with a smile, "Will Mr. Zhang welcome you if you take the liberty to come to the door on New Year's Eve?"

"Hall Master Lei is here, how dare you not welcome him?" Zhang Chu said with a smile.

Lei Chun couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said angrily: "Mr. Zhang, don't make fun of him."

Yin Li smiled and said: "Miss Lei Chun, it's cold outside, let's go in and warm up."

"Okay." Lei Chun nodded with a smile.

After taking two steps, Lei Chun suddenly stopped, turned his head towards the door and said calmly, "You all go back."

There was no movement outside the door.

"Still leaving?" Lei Chunqiao's face darkened.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, which soon became smaller and smaller, as if they had gradually faded away.

Everyone came to the inner hall and sat around in front of the fire.

Xiao Zhao asked curiously: "This sister, are you Lei Chun? I heard sister A Li talk about you."

"Yes, what's the name of this younger sister?" Lei Chun smiled slightly.

Xiao Zhao said shyly, "You can call me Xiao Zhao."

Lei Chun smiled and said: "Sister Xiao Zhao, you are welcome to come to my house to play when you have time."

"Okay." Xiao Zhao nodded happily.

Lei Chun looked around and asked, "Master Zhang, is Miss Li not here today?"

"She went home." Zhang Chu explained.

"So that's how it is." Lei Chun was stunned.

Xiao Zhao asked curiously: "Sister Lei Chun, don't you need to celebrate the New Year at home?"

Yin Li suddenly coughed lightly.

Lei Chun smiled and said: "It's okay, many people in Lin'an City should know that I'm alone, and it's not a secret."

Zhang Chu noticed that although Lei Chun had a smile on his face, there was a trace of loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

Chapter 117 Jade Girl Heart Sutra

Zhang Chu suddenly smiled and said, “Don’t talk about it now, Ah Li, let’s serve the food first.”

Yin Li hurriedly said: "Okay, young master."

A group of women entered the kitchen, including Lei Chun, who also went to the kitchen to help.

In the hall, only Zhang Chu and Tianshan Child Elder were left standing still, waiting for dinner.

It didn't take long for all kinds of exquisite dishes to be served on the table one after another.

Chicken, duck, fish, delicacies from mountains and seas, and fresh vegetables are all available.

This table of dishes is not uncommon in modern times, but in these years, it would cost a lot of money to put together this table.

It's a pity that without Huang Rong, the chef, we can't maximize the deliciousness of the ingredients.

…………

Just as Zhang Chu was bustling around and preparing to enjoy the New Year’s Eve dinner, Li Mochou, who was far away in Zhongnan Mountain, felt a little deserted.
