Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

Tao Xinian quickly explained, "I guessed it from what that friend said. Chu Qi, the day I rescued you was Chu Qi. My friend said that someone tried to assassinate Emperor Liang that day, but only injured the first troops. One of the troops survived until the follow-up troops arrived, but only had time to say that someone had repelled the assassins before he died. I recalled the situation when I saved you that day, and I roughly guessed it."

"So what? I just saved Emperor Liang temporarily, but it doesn't mean I'm a good person, and it doesn't mean I won't kill him in the future"

Tao Xinian smiled: "Since you didn't kill Emperor Liang, then there is no national or family hatred between me and you."

"The assassin was sent by Yu Zhong. He wanted to assassinate Emperor Liang and force the Northern Wei Dynasty to march south. I stopped him only at the order of the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty did not want the soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices before the weather was over. The Holy Majesty sent me to wait for the opportunity Enter Guangzhai Temple and closely monitor every move of Emperor Liang and his ministers. If the time is right, it is possible to wait for the opportunity to assassinate."

Tao Xinian laughed, this person actually told him everything so bluntly, this proves that in his heart, he is trustworthy.

"Why are you telling me so much? I don't need to know. The Northern Wei Dynasty wants to go south, and the Nanliang also wants to go north. It can't be said that there are more Nanliang spies in Luoyang. You... Even if I don't tell the news today You, don't you plan to stay any longer?" Tao Xinian seemed to want to leave long ago when he saw him.

"The Holy Majesty is gone, there is no need for me to stay here."

Tao Xinian was a little surprised: "Emperor Wei died, and there is a new emperor. Someone is always in charge of this matter, right?"

"It has nothing to do with me, and I request my dismissal."

Tao Xinian: "..."

It does sound like Xiu Yuan's personality.

"Thank you for your reminder. I originally wanted to stay for a few more days. Since that's the case, I will set off overnight and head north. There will be a period later."

After finishing speaking, he packed his few luggage and turned to leave.

Isn't this too fast?When Tao Xinian was in a daze, Xiu Yuan even blew out the oil lamp.

He quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Are you leaving like this? Don't you need to eat and sleep first?"

"No, thank you for your hospitality these days. The grace of saving your life should be kept in your heart, and you will repay it when you have a chance in the future."

"Wait, Xiu Yuan, can you... tell me your name? Your real name." Tao Xinian felt a little uneasy.

Xiu Yuan turned around, the moonlight shone on his young face, and his light brown eyes seemed to be rippling in a pool of blue waves.He parted his lips lightly, and said, "Yuan Yao, the character is Xiu Yuan. Tao Xi Nian, see you by fate."

After finishing speaking, he led the horses in the stable and went out through the west gate.Tao Xinian watched him go away, and only closed the door when he was no longer seen at the end of the alley.

Yuan Yao, whose surname is Yuan, is a member of the Northern Wei Dynasty.Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan, it seems that he was not deceived too badly.

After Yuan Yao left, Tao Xinian rented out the West Courtyard and returned to Qinglong Mountain.After more than a month, the weather is getting warmer, the white plum blossoms fall in front of the Taoist temple, and the peach blossoms on the mountainside are blooming, pink and scorching.He spent several days preparing his luggage, and finally chose to set off today, head to Jiankang City, and make final preparations for his journey north.

The chicken was released by Abo, and it flapped its wings and ran around the mountain.The door of the Taoist temple was locked, and Tao Xinian randomly scattered some seeds in the vegetable field not far away. When he came back, the vegetables had grown.As for whether it looks good or not, it depends on the sky.

He untied the hemp rope tied to the plum tree in front of the door, and the animal barked "En Ang En Ang" a few times to the sky, and it was about to have fun. It was a donkey with a high neck, big eyes, and a big mouth.

Tao Xinian originally wanted to buy a horse, but he didn't know that the horse dealers demanded sky-high prices from him, and the horses that barely managed to get his attention cost nearly two taels of gold.He thought about it carefully, and thought it was better to keep a low profile this time. He went north alone and rode a good horse. Isn't this telling others "I have money, come and grab it and cheat"?

The donkey can be carried and ridden, and in the future it can be used to pull the mill and do some farm work, and the price is much cheaper, only [-] yuan.So he bought one without hesitation.The donkey helped him carry the luggage up the mountain that day, saving a lot of energy.

However, the temperament of this beast is a bit unpredictable, sometimes obedient and sometimes disobedient, he likes to flirt with flowers and grass, he will eat flowers when he sees them, Tao Xinian's orchids have been planted.So even though it was a male donkey, Tao Xinian still gave it a girly name, Hua Hua.

After getting along with him for a while, Huahua seemed to have finally recognized his master and barely understood some rules.

It was the first time for Abo to go out on a long trip. He was so excited that he jumped up and sat on Huahua, pulled the rein, then patted her on the head, and said, "Donkey, be obedient, we are going down the mountain."

Hua Hua seemed very dissatisfied and shook her, but Abo sat firmly and was not shaken off.

Tao Xinian knocked on Abo's head, and said, "I managed to teach it to understand its own name, but you're good, the bald donkey barks, what will you do if you don't obey me in the future?" A small bamboo box that could hold it was tied to Huahua's body, and she led the donkey down the mountain.

The flowers are blooming like a piece of brocade all the way, and the beauty is too beautiful.He thought, spring is late in the north, maybe when he gets to the north, spring flowers will be in full bloom.

Almost down the mountain, Ah Bo huddled into a small ball and hid himself in the box.As soon as he went in, he said: "Master Dao, it's so crowded in here, we can't fit in any more! We have to add some luggage when we get down the mountain?"

"Whispering! Going to the north may not mean staying for several months, or even more than half a year. Naturally, you need to bring more clothes and household items." After finishing speaking, he adjusted the position of the box and continued down the mountain.Although it is only late March now, but the journey to Jizhou is far away, he plans to set off earlier, and take a look at the customs and customs along the way.

In the box were two winter clothes, four spring clothes, five summer clothes, four pairs of shoes, two cloaks, one cloak, an umbrella, the four treasures of the study, two volumes of miscellaneous books, saponin powder and spices, as well as several ritual utensils and large A pile of painted and unpainted talismans, and a small pile of uneaten cabbage and radishes in winter, to be eaten on Huahua Road...

"Why did you even bring the piano? It's really interesting."

"Hey, how about self-cultivation and self-cultivation when you have nothing to do..." Anyway, there is no need for him to carry Huahua.

I bought some dry food and necessities on the street, went back to Tao's mansion, and took the newly collected rent money from Axi, it was already dark.Yu Yuandao found someone to get him a customs clearance certificate for going north, and it had already been sent to his house.He flipped through the documents, checked his luggage again, and fell asleep satisfied.

In the dream is the frozen northern land thousands of miles away.I don't know if Xiuyuan at this time... No, it's Yuan Yao, whether he has returned to Luoyang.

This trip to Jizhou and Luoyang is not on the same road, and we should not meet each other on the way.After the Dao Fa Conference, he should go to Luoyang for a walk.It used to be the territory of the ancestors, but now it has become the capital of the northerners...

Two days later...

"When will this rain stop...it's really a bad start..." Abo put his hands on the window sill, and it was raining heavily outside the window.

Tao Xinian leaned on the bed for half a year, reading a book to pass the time.He calculated the day to go out, but he didn't expect that just after crossing the Yangtze River, a rare heavy rain fell, which lasted for three days.They were stuck in the only inn in an unknown town, and they were going to be moldy.

Tao Xinian raised his head to look at the sky, pinched his fingers again, and said, "Maybe we can stop tomorrow, and leave as soon as possible, maybe it will come down in a few days."

The next day when the rain stopped, Tao Xinian rode his donkey slowly to the north. At this moment, he regretted a little, why didn't he spend more money to buy a horse?The horse ran much faster.

"Huahua, hurry up!" Tao Xinian pulled the reins, Huahua gave a grunt, and still walked slowly, as if he was very reluctant.He measured the weight of the bamboo box a little, it might be a bit heavy for Huahua to carry him and luggage at the same time.No way, only a trick.

He took out a small radish from the box, held the radish leaf and brought it up to its head, Hua Hua immediately moved up to it, but couldn't eat it anyway.Tao Xinian tied the radish leaf with the tassel on the mahogany sword and stretched it forward.In order to catch up with the radish, Huahua strode forward desperately.

Tao Xinian leaned back, quickly grabbed the reins, and was led forward at a high speed, the speed of which was absolutely no less than that of a good horse.At this moment, he felt that it would be nice to have a donkey.

"Wei State has sent troops. I heard that Wei State's army is coming here. I don't know if they will cross the border..."

"Didn't the emperor just die in the north, why did you march south so quickly?"

"Should we hide in the south? It will be terrible if we call..."

Going to war?The town was very quiet in the afternoon, and it was not far from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Seeing that the people in the town were still stable, Tao Xinian had no intention of running away.Looking at the patrolling officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared on the street, it really seemed like a war was about to start.

But the new Lord Wei is just a four or five-year-old child, who is using his power to start a war in the south?He remembered what Yuan Yao had said to him before leaving, could it be that Yu Zhong?Then what reason would he use?
