Chapter 119

In the past, Zhao Shu had never questioned Lingxiao from the bottom of his heart, even though he had occasionally verbally contradicted and offended her.

In the final analysis, a fairy resides in the depths of his brain, not only imparting immortal methods, but also guiding cultivation, and when he is lonely and worried, there are still people to talk to and relieve his worries. What is there to be dissatisfied with Zhao Mi?
But this time he really couldn't accept that Lingxiao is not a high-truth immortal who is independent of the world, but rests in Zhao Mi's brain palace. If she wants to plot against others, she is destined to rely on Zhao Mi's words and deeds.

"Hong Xueke and Liang Tao may not be able to judge your situation, but I am standing in front of them." Zhao Mi questioned: "If they want to lure you, the hidden master of the immortal family, directly If I do it, how much can you help me?"

Ling Xiao's retort was not polite: "You are not from the immortal family, so naturally you don't understand the mystery here. Since Liang Tao and the others have noticed that there is an immortal family behind you to help, if they directly attack you, it is equivalent to making an enemy of the immortal family behind you. Hastily Being hostile to an expert from the Xian family whose identity and origin are unknown may lead to unwarranted dangers.

A stone lying on the ground is harmless.But if you hang it ten feet above your head, no one will feel worried.Zhang Duanjing taught you that the secret of reclusiveness lies in leaving room for it, so I will tell you now, this kind of hanging rocks and unpredictable changes are not only leaving room for you and me to maneuver, but also a way to restrain Liang Tao's calculations! "

Zhao Mi said: "If I were Liang Tao, I would definitely not do it myself. There are so many people in the Chongxuan Hall and the Yongjia Liang Family, so you can send someone here to slowly test out my depth. Even in the future, I will be transferred to the front line. This matter itself is a temptation!"

"Extraordinary and positive interrelationships are like endless cycles, who can be poor?" Ling Xiao said: "The blocks of wood and stones have changed in the four seasons, can you still have no flexibility? Liang Tao sent people to test, You can deal with it however you want, if you don't even have this means, don't even think about finding the True Yuan Lock!"

When it came to the Zhenyuan lock, Zhao Mi couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had been in Dongshengdu for a year, and almost at the very beginning he asked Anyang Hou to get it back.

Anyang Hou claimed that he had acquaintances in the Chongxuan Pavilion who could help, but nothing happened for a year, and Zhao Mi had to wonder whether the other party was deliberately delaying.

"You can tell me these things in advance." Zhao Mi said in a solemn tone, "In this way, I will be fully prepared, so as not to be in a hurry."

"If you don't experience it yourself, it's hard to really understand it. It's not easy to get through it if you talk about it in advance." Lingxiao said: "The moment Hongxueke appeared, I knew he was aware of the true spirit. At that time, I rashly reminded him , if you pretend to be hypocritical, you will be seen through by the other party instead."

"You hide in the deepest part of the brain palace, can Hong Xueke find you?" Zhao Mi asked in surprise.

"Immortal spirits are very different from ordinary people. You are not immortal, so you don't know." Ling Xiao said, "It's just that Hongxue Ke still can't see the truth. It was not until the continental meeting that the abnormality was noticed.

As for Zhang Duanjing, he has not been able to detect my existence, but he should be able to hear your deceitful words.It's nothing more than being an elder, he didn't get to the bottom of it, leaving room for you. "

Zhao Mi responded silently. He had been by the teacher's side for so many years, and his thoughtfulness and speech skills probably couldn't be hidden from him.But after the teacher confirmed that he was not possessed by evil spirits, he chose not to ask further questions.

……

After staying in the Yuyi Pavilion for a long time, Zhao Mi finally waited for the king's order to summon him. He tidied up his clothes, followed the eunuch into the palace city, and came to a summer resort to meet the king.

The king sat on the bamboo couch with a relaxed demeanor, motioned Zhao Mi not to salute, and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Your Majesty has summoned you, and I should treat you with dignity," Zhao Mi replied.

The king shook his head and smiled: "After all, it's just a waste of time for you. You and I meet alone, so we don't have to talk about those polite words. This time I came to you, just to ask, are you willing to go to Jianjiaguan?"

It is also the military town of Bianguan, but Jianjiaguan is not like Juhongguan. The mountains and rivers there are poor and evil. During spring and summer, the mountains and forests are filled with miasma.

Because of the harsh situation at Jianjia Pass, many of the local guards were criminals who had been exiled into the army. If monks from the Guanxi Pass were dispatched, they would not be willing to go to the Jianjia Pass area.

"Your Majesty, how is the battle going on in Jianjia Pass?" Zhao Mi didn't answer right away.

The lord of the country did not blame him, but copied a mansion newspaper from his hand and handed it to Zhao Mi, saying: "It's not very good, Jianjia Pass has high walls and deep ditches, so we can hold it temporarily. But now there are hog-beaked people who have crossed the mountains and raided the pass. News from the village behind the city."

It was only then that Zhao Mi knew that the real war was far from being so easy and casual as Liang Tao's set of military tactics, and that it wouldn't just start with soldiers and horses from both sides fighting each other in a stance.

"The most troublesome thing now is not the harassment from the Jiuli Kingdom. According to reports from the spies, most of the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom are still stationed in Wuluo Town. But the gang of convicts at Jianjiaguan seems to have evil intentions." The king frowned. He said: "If the criminals make a riot in groups, let the Jiuli Kingdom take advantage of the opportunity, the southern gate of the Huaxu Kingdom will be opened impressively, and then the lives will be destroyed!"

Zhao Mi nodded and said: "Since this is the case, the prisoners should be strictly controlled. Moreover, the imperial court will send additional troops to Jianjia Pass to suppress the chaos and reorganize our defenses."

There was an expression of appreciation on the face of the king: "The final result of the court discussion is the same. I have already asked General Wei to lead the new army to Jianjiaguan. Oh, you may not know that the new army is officially named Wukui Army, after the leader of Wuzhong. meaning."

"Good moral, your Majesty's literary thinking is brilliant, and I respect you." Zhao Mi said hastily.

"You made a mistake with this horse." The king smiled and said, "The name Wu Kuijun was thought up by Da Sima."

Zhao Mi's face froze, so he could only respond with a wry smile.

"You haven't answered my question yet." The lord said again: "Would you like to go to Jianjia Pass?"

Zhao Shu cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty has orders, and I will obey them!"

"You just kicked the ball back." The lord shook his head, holding a round fan in his hand and pointing at Zhao Mi: "I'm asking you if you are willing, don't talk about the emperor's order."

The lenientness of the king was beyond Zhao Mi's expectation, so he replied: "I am still willing to go."

"Oh? Why is that? Could it be that you feel that the position of deacon of the Jinding Division is not easy to get ahead?" the king asked.

Zhao Mi smiled and replied: "Not really, it's just that the Jiuli Kingdom has already reached the gate, so why should we turn a blind eye? Killing the enemy for the country and relieving the people for the people, as a monk of the Guanxi, deeply favored by the country, this matter is duty-bound .and……"

"And what?"

"Although Dongsheng Capital is rich, it is too comfortable, and it is easy for people not to think about making progress." Zhao Mi is embarrassed to say that the people in the capital are chaotic, and after staying here for a long time, only the court's thoughts are left in his stomach. , Even Zhao Mi herself was annoyed.

The king sighed slightly: "Indeed. Although I don't like Liang Xiao's blatant offense at the Yingzhou meeting, I also feel that someone like him has high spirits. I am very pleased that you want to go to the border."

Zhao Mi bowed his head and cupped his hands, but he didn't dare to say more.The king smiled and said: "You don't have to be restrained. Since you want to go to Jianjiaguan to flex your muscles, what about Jinding Company's official duties? As a deacon, you have to give me a way, otherwise I can't let you go."

"Your Majesty, the Jinding Division has been established for nearly a year, and the charter has been prepared. It doesn't make much difference whether there are minor ministers in the middle and deacons." Zhao Shu said: "And since the Wu Kui army is marching to Jianjia Pass, if the talisman soldiers and arrows used in the army need to In addition, it is best to arrange for people to deal with it nearby, and it is appropriate for the minister to go with the army and bring the Jinding Company's business there."

"That's right." The king nodded.

"There is another matter that needs to be reported to the lord." Zhao Mi said, "I really can't take care of the farm in the outskirts of Dongsheng Capital. But thinking that the Jinding Division also needs a lot of craftsmen to help, so I plan to Donate that farm and prepare it for the Jinding Division. Firstly, the tenants of the farm can have an extra livelihood, and secondly, the production of the farm can also enrich the national treasury and subsidize the monks in the company. "

When the king heard this, he stared at Zhao Mi and blinked for a long time.

"Your Majesty, did I say something wrong?" Zhao Mi asked.

"In my country of Huaxu, there has never been a person who ate farmland land in his stomach and could still spit it out." The king couldn't help but sighed: "The words of Gongzhong Tiguo are not enough for you. "

Zhao Mi replied: "Your Majesty, the reason why those rich and powerful families can occupy the fields and annex them wantonly depends on the close and distant relatives living in groups, the number of people is large, and the land and manor can also be taken care of by the relatives.

And Weichen is alone and has no relatives, even if he has a large farm property, he has no time to take care of it, let alone Jinding Company's official duties. "

The lord of the country didn't care too much about the farm, and talked about other things: "It's okay for you to be unaccompanied. You still want to start a family, and someone can share your worries and take care of the housework. Do you have a woman you like? If the other party is not married, I You can also come forward and call the shots.”

"Your Majesty." Zhao Mi quickly replied, "I don't care about this, so I don't need to bother others."

The lord was silent for a long time, and then nodded: "Forget it, since you said so, I will not force you. I will arrange someone to handle the matter of the farm properly. You can make some preparations in the next few days, and when I make a decree, I will send monks to Jianjiaguan , and you should be among them."

Zhao Shu bowed to leave, and after a while Mrs. Zhu Zi appeared in the water pavilion. The king shook the round fan lightly and said, "Teacher, Zhao Shu is indeed a rare person. If he cultivates more, he will be a pillar of our Huaxu Kingdom. "

Mrs. Zhu Zi sighed softly: "Zhao Mi is indeed a talent to be cultivated, but if he has different ambitions in the future, I am afraid we have no way to restrain him. This kind of unaccompanied person has less concern and less trouble. It’s no worries.”

The Lord frowned and said, "Master, why do you have such doubts about Zhao Mi? He is a student of Mr. Zhang, so he is trustworthy."

"Zhao Mi is the same as Zhang Duanjing. He is loyal to reason and not to the emperor." Mrs. Zhu Zi reminded: "Zhang Duanjing still has to take care of the Huaiying Pavilion, but Zhao Mi is doing more. If you don’t want anything, the person’s plans are definitely not small.”

The Lord of the Kingdom said: "I heard from Xin Taicheng that the ancestor of Zhao Shu was the tribute officer of the Tianxia Dynasty. I remember that the tribute officer asked to discipline his body and mind and restrain his temperament in order to achieve success in the process of offering sacrifices and teaching methods. Zhao Mi obviously got it." It is not surprising that he has no interest in secular interests due to the fact that Zhang Gong is strict in his teaching.

People like Zhao Mi can't be forced, so it's better to follow his heart of seeking truth and loyalty and let him work hard.Since Zhao Mi is willing to go to Jianjia Pass, and the imperial court happens to lack Guanxi monks who take the lead in setting an example, let Zhao Mi go.This kind of person who will fight for his life without generous rewards is a rare talent. "

……

"Nephew, are you going to Jianjia Pass?"

Zhao Mi was packing up in the residence of the Marquis of Zhenming, and the Marquis of Anyang, who had learned the news in advance, hurried over to inquire.

"The battle at the border is urgent, and General Wei has already led the Wukui army to go first. As the deacon of Jinding Division, I can't stay in Dongshengdu all the time, can I?" Zhao Mi replied.

Marquis Anyang shook his head and said, "If Wu Kui's army needs help, Jinding Division should send someone extra, so why let you go?"

Zhao Mi said: "The Priest of the Jinding Division made the talisman armour, which was meant to match the Wukui army. The soldiers fought on the front line. If the armor needs to be repaired and maintained, if I, the deacon of the Jinding Division, are nearby, I will naturally save a lot of trouble.

In addition, I have already made a list of magic items and spiritual materials that may need to be used on the front line, and Uncle Shi needs to make preparations in Dongshengdu and send someone to send them to the front line. "

Zhao Mi handed out several books, and said in addition: "Shi Huoguang will stay in the capital, but he is not good at dealing with people. I hope Uncle Shi can take care of me more."

"I know that." Anyang Hou sighed again and again.

At this time, I saw Shi Huoguang holding a wooden box from the side, with a spell seal on it: "There is a piece of spiritual iron in it. The weather is counted in the week, and the aura is harmonious and complete."

The batch of Lingwen Shentie that Zhao Mi took away after Tiegong's ascension had not been disposed of in the Huaiying Pavilion. At that time, he asked Shi Huoguang to help him take care of it, and he almost forgot that there was such a thing.Unexpectedly, after a year, Shi Huoguang really showed results.

"The altar of welcoming spirits in five directions was originally set up by your grandfather after he came to Huaiying Hall, and it also fits your cultivation foundation." Shi Huoguang explained: "The sacred iron sacrifice is complete, you may try to connect the spirit script with your own energy. This thing is like a raw material that has not yet been formed, if you want to make it into a magic weapon, you need to continue to work hard."

"I remember." Zhao Mi took the wooden box, feeling heavy in his hand.

"Are you really going to Jianjia Pass? I heard it's very dangerous there." Shi Huoguang asked worriedly.

"The battlefield is naturally dangerous, but if everyone shrinks back and waits until the future situation becomes hopelessly corrupt, and everyone will be caught in a military disaster, then the danger will be even more dangerous and the situation will be even more difficult to recover." Zhao said. Millet breathed a sigh of relief:

"If it was in the past, I probably wouldn't have such thoughts. I have experienced a lot in the past two years, and I understand that some things must be done by someone. I was not forced by anyone, but I volunteered on my own initiative."

When Shi Huoguang heard this, a trace of melancholy appeared on the old man's face: "You... are becoming more and more like your father."
