Chapter 71
The Golden Crow falls to the west, the Jade Rabbit rises to the east, and on the walls of the palace city, there are patrols as always. Compared with the first time I entered the palace city, the guard level is much higher.

Qiu Zhiqing was very strange, didn't it mean that this new official entrusted all government affairs to the late traitor Shi Miyuan, and stayed in the palace by himself, not caring about things?Why does it seem to me that the national power of the Southern Song Dynasty has improved compared to more than ten years ago?

Putting aside the doubts in my heart, when the two teams of patrolling soldiers passed by each other, a black shadow flashed past like a spring breeze, which did not arouse much reaction from the patrolling personnel.

Avoiding the guards along the way, although the Miyagi guards have been strengthened a lot, the current self is very different from the self more than ten years ago.

Not long after, I saw the octagonal pavilion where I first met Master Cuixu in the distance.But the person sitting inside is not his uncle Cuixuzi, but another acquaintance.

Qiu Zhiqing, who was a little disappointed at first, was overjoyed. There was no way out, and there was another village.Sitting in the pavilion turned out to be the preparatory prince Zhao and Ju who he had been able to chat with in the palace before.

At this time, he had never thought about why a preparatory prince of the previous generation who was eliminated could still live in the palace safely after a competitor took over, and some were just happy to meet old friends in the old place.

"It's a joy to meet an old man in the old place. Brother Zhao, how are you doing after a long absence?" Qiu Zhiqing came out from the dark with a smile, saying hello and walking out like before.

But what Qiu Zhiqing didn't pay attention to was the old servant next to his old friend. Suddenly, a figure flashed, and the old servant stood in front of Qiu Zhiqing. Qiu Zhiqing was startled. Just as he was about to explain, he saw a bird The big hand grabbed at himself.

The figure took half a step back, the old eunuch caught nothing, Qiu Zhiqing shook his shoulder, but bumped into the hand grabbed by the old servant. I suffered a dark loss.

But in an instant, Qiu Zhiqing and the old servant made at least ten tricks. The speed of the old servant was as fast as lightning, and the ghost was silent. There was nothing fancy about his moves, just one word - fast!

Qiu Zhiqing's hands seemed to be closed, and he used three palms together to seal all his attacking routes. He wanted to explain, but the people came too fast, and he was afraid of being distracted by opening his mouth.In this big situation, if you are injured, if you want to control and not hurt others, then you can't help yourself!
Fast attack and fast attack, the original simple straight attack made Qiu Zhiqing a little tired of parrying, but he was powerless to counterattack, with the long sword out of its sheath, he could at most draw with this old servant...

"Cao Daban, step back! I'm an acquaintance!" Hearing this, the old waiter distanced himself from Qiu Zhiqing, and looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him with vigilance, but after a while, he found the Taoist priest's situation in his memory .

Qiu Zhiqing, Daoist Chonghe, that little follower who was behind Daoist Cuixu back then!It is said that they are from Beiquanzhen. Thinking of this, although the old servant didn't attack again, he was secretly on guard.

"So it's Brother Chong and you haven't changed much after you've been separated for more than ten years!" Zhao Yuju, who had been sitting in the octagonal pavilion before, had come to Qiu Zhiqing and patted the old servant who was nervously protecting him. , indicating that it doesn't matter.

"Come here, please, I haven't seen you for many years and I must have a drink today." Pulled by Zhao Yuju to sit in the octagonal pavilion, he ordered the old servant to pass on the meal.At this time Qiu Zhiqing was still a little dizzy.

I haven't seen each other for so many years, do Zhao and Ju have such a high status in the palace?

If he didn't understand, he asked: "Brother Zhao, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, why are you still in the palace?" Then he remembered that he was also a clan, and looking at the red robe on his body, Qiu Zhiqing seemed to understand.

Suddenly said: "Brother Zhao has been promoted!"

Zhao and Ju were a little dazed, feeling that they were such poor friends and still didn't know about their affairs, so he just followed Qiu Zhiqing's words.

"That's right, today's officials are inseparable from me, and they don't want me to leave the palace, so they let me work at the Xuande Palace, responsible for contacting some officials, sorting out their opinions and reporting them."

Zhao Yuju knew that he didn't know much about officialdom, so they fooled him for a while, but they didn't have any malicious intentions. Maybe they just wanted to keep the pure friendship.

"Oh!" Qiu Zhiqing nodded half-understood. When the old people met, they chatted happily. Qiu Zhiqing picked some interesting things about Lin'an after leaving and told Zhao and Ju to listen.

Zhao and Ju also told Qiu Zhiqing some funny and strange things that had happened in the officialdom over the years, and the conversation between the two began at the beginning of the Xu Dynasty.

At this time, the old servant said, "Officer~" Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuju glared at him as soon as he opened his mouth. Qiu Zhiqing also looked at the old servant curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.

The old waiter who was stared at was enlightened, and changed his words: "The official has ordered you not to rest too late, son, you need to get up early to catch up tomorrow!"

"It doesn't matter, I have practiced the breathing method taught to me by Chong and Brother over the years, but the effect is remarkable. As long as I maintain it at ordinary times, I can run it all the time. It is much easier to use than those so-called magical exercises that take time and effort."

That's right, what their old Zhao's family lacked was not some magic tricks, but people who could practice these magic tricks.And the perseverance to persevere!

After being reminded by the old servant, Qiu Zhiqing also remembered his reason for coming, and asked, "I wonder what the relationship between Brother Zhao and the current officials is?"

"Brother Chong and why did you say that?" Zhao and Ju were puzzled, did Qiu Zhiqing discover his identity?
"It's like this. I overheard a Mongolian plan against the Song Dynasty in Bianliang during the Lantern Festival. I wanted to inform the officials through Master Cuixu, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhao here. This time there is such a Ask, I heard that there is not much harmony in the palace, if possible, it would be better for Martial Uncle Cuixu to report."

After all, Qiu Zhiqing was still a little embarrassed, and this was more or less suspected of criticizing their old Zhao family.To put it bluntly is to provoke the Tian family's friendship, even though the Tian family has no friendship at all.

After hearing this, Zhao Yuju's heart moved, and he asked, "The immortal who shot Marshal Tachar on the Lantern Festival is brother Chonghe?" According to the information he got, Tachar was indeed killed by a spear. That's why I asked this question.

Qiu Zhiqing blushed, thinking that Zhao and Ju had also heard those rumors, and quickly refuted them, saying: "Brother Zhao, don't listen to the rumors in the world, people are poor people who kill people, but any fairy descending to earth is just talking nonsense, if there is no senior Help, at this moment, I might be roasted by fire in Bianliang!"

His words were a bit self-effacing. After Zhao Yuju heard this, he pondered for a moment and replied: "The Immortal Cuixu left the palace five years ago. He said that the end was approaching and he wanted to return the fallen leaves to their roots. If you can tell me, I will tell the officials on your behalf."

"The end is approaching?" My uncle doesn't look like the end is approaching, and he played this trick more than ten years ago, and then hid in the palace, and now the end is approaching?
Forget it, regardless of his uncle Cuixu, Qiu Zhiqing told the whole story about Mongolia's plan for Song State that he heard in Bianliang Palace!

Including how they lured the Song State to send troops, moved all the people away without leaving a grain of food, stationed troops in Tongguan, and waited for the Song State to send troops to open the golden dike of the Yellow River to prevent the Song Army from retreating.

It also includes how to condemn the Southern Song Dynasty for breaking the alliance after the main force of the Song army was wiped out, how to take the opportunity to capture the empty defense line after the Song army dispatched troops, and even the plan to drink horses to the Yangtze River and force the Southern Song Dynasty to surrender, etc.

"Too much deception!" Zhao Yuju yelled, slapped the table, and got up!It was done in one go, and then paced back and forth, Qiu Zhiqing secretly clicked his tongue, this brother Zhao is still a talent in martial arts, and this time the table was completely cracked.

This is golden nanmu, so old and hard!Little did they know that both Zhao and Ju's hands were shaking, angry, and in pain.

After a while, he finally stopped, put his hands on Qiu Zhiqing's shoulders, stared at him, and said: "Brother Chong, I have always regarded you as my elder brother. If it weren't for Brother Chong and his enlightenment, I would have passed by in such a muddle. Now, what you said today is of great importance, you are thinking about it, but there are still mistakes, please explain it clearly!"

After hearing the words, Qiu Zhiqing pondered for a while, and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, but I didn't kill all those generals, some of them escaped, especially that Zhang Jing, who was said to have been killed by Meng Puyu in the Battle of Caizhou." That guy saved a life, he is a Han army Wanhu from Mongolia."

Now it was Zhao Yuju's turn to be surprised: "Brother Chonghe also knows Meng Gong and Puyu? Why didn't brother Chonghe mention it?"

Qiu Zhiqing then told Zhao and Ju about the encounter between the two in Xiangyang City and the breaking of the smuggling case.

"Brother Chong, this matter is of great importance, I have to report it to the officials, I asked Daban Cao to arrange for you, you can rest for a night in the temple where Immortal Cuixu stayed, okay? "

"Brother Zhao, you don't need to trouble, since the news has been conveyed, I can leave the palace. After all, let outsiders feel free to stay in the palace city at night, and I'm afraid it will be bad for Brother Zhao if I say it. Come visit another day!"

After finishing speaking, they turned around and left, Zhao Yuju hurriedly asked: "Brother Chong, if I want to find you, where should I go?"

Qiu Zhiqing pondered for a moment, and replied: "On the bank of the West Lake, in the Temple of Fortune!" After finishing speaking, he disappeared into the night...
