() I saw a Taoist priest standing at the door of the courtyard. He was tall and thin, with his hair in a bun and a peach wood hairpin. He had a clear-cut face and a sharp look. The most eye-catching thing was the Taoist priest's nose.

, high-cut and straight, very handsome.

The Taoist was in his thirties, wearing a gray Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and a long sword slanted on his back. He stood quietly at the entrance of the courtyard, standing tall and straight, looking like a master.

.

Everyone was confused for a while, not knowing who the person was. However, including Cui Hongdu, they were all attracted by the Taoist's outstanding and upright posture. For a time, the noise disappeared and the courtyard was filled with silence.

The Taoist's eyes seemed to have no room for others, and he only looked at Liu Jibei. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then they left each other in a tacit understanding. The Taoist said: "Is this the residence of Chen Xu? Pindao is the king of Maoshan Sect, Yuanzhi.

, came to pay a visit to King Ancheng."

The Taoist's voice was not loud at first, but everyone heard it like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, which shook their hearts.

When everyone heard that the Taoist announced his name as Wang Yuanzhi, most of them were startled. Many people had heard of this master-level figure in the Taoist sect.

Looking at the world's Taoist sects today, the most transcendent figure is undoubtedly the world's number one master Zhang Tianshi, and the second most famous one is the "Dragon Master". Among them, the "Longteng Master" is Wang Yuanzhi, and the other "Fu Feng"

The "Master" is actually Jiao Zishun, the headmaster of the Qingcheng Taoist Sect.

Wang Yuanzhi, also known as Wang Yuanzhi, also named Guangde, was originally from Linyi. He later moved to Yangzhou and became a native of Yangzhou. Wang Yuanzhi was extremely smart when he was young. He first studied under Zang Jin, a master of Zongdao, and after exhausting what he learned, he turned to Huayang.

Under the sect of Mr. Tao Hongjing, Wang Yuanzhi was carefully framed by two great masters one after another.

After Tao Hongjing passed away, Wang Yuanzhi devoted himself to studying the martial arts classics of the Huayang Sword School for more than ten years, and finally achieved great success in martial arts.

, and following Tao Hongjing’s legacy, he became the headmaster of the Huayang Sword Sect.

While Wang Yuanzhi was studying the ancient martial arts of the Huayang Sword School, his senior brother Su Xuanlang was always the master. When Wang Yuanzhi reached his perfection, they had a dispute about becoming the master. Among them, because

Due to various reasons, Wang Yuanzhi finally took charge of the Huayang Sword Sect, and Su Xuanlang left Maoshan in anger.

After Chen Baxian, Emperor Wu of Chen, established the Chen Dynasty, he heard that Wang Yuanzhi was well-known for practicing Taoism. During his reign, he summoned Wang Yuanzhi to the Chongyang Palace and paid special tribute. After asking, he learned a lot and personally called Wang Yuanzhi "Longteng".

Dharma Master", and then sent Wang Yuanzhi back to Maoshan.

It is said that Wang Yuanzhi returned to Maoshan and had been practicing in Huayang Cave and never went down the mountain. At this time, he appeared in Beihuanli in Chang'an. It is really puzzling.

Liu Jibei didn't know who Wang Yuanzhi was, and for some reason, he just felt that the Taoist in front of him seemed to have some kind of connection with him, but the specifics were very vague.

Although Cui Hongdu was cold, he was by no means a reckless person. He had heard of Wang Yuanzhi for a long time, and also knew that this person had many magical powers. He was the same as Jiao Zishun, who was also named "Master Fu Feng" by Emperor Xiao Min.

Walking side by side, he is known as Yishi Yuliang in the Taoist sect. At this time, he heard that the legendary Taoist asked about Chen Xu, and he unconsciously replied: "This is the residence of King Ancheng. I wonder what the Master wants from him?"

Wang Yuanzhi smiled indifferently and floated into the courtyard like a floating cloud. He gently waved the fly whisk in his hand, looked around and said, "I have been entrusted by someone, and I want to bring a message to him."

Then, he asked Cui Hongdu with a polite attitude: "Please forgive the verbosity of outsiders, what is the name of this general?" The feeling of wind is much stronger than that of the sloppy Taoist who is idle in Otsuka Zaifu.

Cui Hongdu tried his best to suppress his stern expression, and his tone was as calm as possible, and he said: "My Excellency, Cui Hongdu, has been responsible for guarding the courtyard here since last night."

He paused and said with some difficulty: "To be honest, due to some accident, the Dharma Master's visit this time may have been in vain."

Wang Yuanzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Pindao heard some rumors on the way. He knew that King An Cheng had encountered an assassin, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. In order to further confirm, he came here anyway."

Cui Hongdu sighed and said: "Since the Dharma Master has heard about this, I will no longer hide it. Last night, a group of assassins broke in and stabbed King Ancheng and two servants who served him to death. I was at the scene at the time

Patrolling nearby, after hearing the tip, they came to arrest the assassin. Fortunately, they did not disgrace their orders, and one of the assassins was killed.

No one slipped through the net. However, it is a pity that these assassins had obviously been determined to die before the assassination. After being arrested, they all chewed up the poison that was hidden in their mouths and sealed their throats. In a moment, there was not much left, only some of them

The two leaders were not killed immediately, and I used some extraordinary means to force them to tell the truth."

Wang Yuanzhi frowned and sighed: "It seems that this assassination was carefully planned. Can General Cui reveal some information and who did it?"

Cui Hongdu said angrily: "This matter was instigated by Yuwen Shenju, the traitor general of our court. His purpose was to put the blame on the court and cause a dispute between Chen and Zhou, so that he could enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman."

When Liu Jibei heard this and saw the indignation on Cui Hongdu's face, he felt that he was not pretending, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He thought to himself: Yuwen Shenju and others have been stationed in Fengqiyuan for many days. As for the affairs in the court,

How could he not catch the slightest hint of the news? He couldn't help but act in a moment of anger, so he did this.

Suddenly he remembered another thing. Since Yuwen Shenju wrote a letter to Da Xizhen, Da Xizhen would also reply to him. Didn't he mention Liu Jibei in the reply? If he did, how could no one come?

Looking for him? It's really strange.

After Wang Yuanzhi heard Cui Hongdu's words, he just said "Oh" without saying much. He waved the whisk in his hand, glanced at Chen Xu's residence, and said: "Since the person has passed away, the poor Taoist will not die anymore."

If I waste your time any longer, I’ll see you later.”

After saying that, he smiled and nodded to everyone, then turned around and drifted away.

When Liu Jibei saw Wang Yuanzhi leaving, he wanted to slip away quietly, but was stopped by Cui Hongdu. He only heard Cui Hongdu say: "Where is this Liu Zhuang going?"

Liu Jibei sighed in his heart and lamented the unfairness of the world. He pointed to the door where Wang Yuanzhi disappeared and sighed: "The Taoist people have gone, why should I stay here?"

Cui Hongdu smiled coldly, put his hands behind his back and said, "He is an outsider. Of course he can come and go for his own free will, but you are different. Before you find out your true identity, you must not leave at will."

Liu Jibei was angry and was about to refute him, but he heard footsteps coming from the courtyard gate again. When he looked up, he saw a man running over quickly with a group of followers, and shouted to him: "

Brother Liu is indeed here, I had to work really hard to find him."

When Liu Jibei saw the visitor, he couldn't help being startled and asked in confusion, "Why is General Da Xi here?"

The person who came was none other than Da Xizhen. He did not answer, but said coldly to Cui Hongdu: "Brother Liu is a guest in my house. Any trouble he causes will be borne by me."

Cui Hongdu replied without any sign of weakness: "Operator Otsuka has ordered that anyone who breaks into Chen Xu's residence will be captured. Although this Liu Zhuangshi is a guest of General Da Xi, he should also abide by the regulations. General Da Xi please don't embarrass me."

.”

Da Xizhen was startled, and then said with a sinking face: "He has nothing to do with this matter, so why should Governor Cui make things difficult for him?"

Cui Hongdu smiled coldly and responded: "It's not that I deliberately made things difficult. It's not that General Da Xi doesn't know Otsuka Zai's temper. If anyone ignores his orders, he will definitely be punished. Cui Hongdu has a humble status, how dare he cross the thunder pond!"

As soon as he brought Yu Wenhu out to talk about it, Da Xi Zhen moved his mouth, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say, sighed, and said: "How can Governor Cui let him go? You might as well tell him directly.

, As long as I, Da Xi Zhen, can do it, I will never shirk it."

Cui Hongdu shook his head, sighed, and said in a cold tone: "I'm sorry that I can't do anything, so I have to aggrieve this Liu Zhuangshi and follow me for a while. If it is found out that he is not a gang of assassins, I will definitely pay him back."

justice."

Da Xi Zhen thought to himself: How can I still be alive if I just go with you? Who doesn't know that your Cui Hongdu methods are so cruel that even the dead can open their mouths to speak.

Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Jibei behind him again, and thought: Cui Hongdu is already talking to death now, and has no intention of letting Liu Jibei go. If I take Liu Jibei away by force, I will definitely fight with Cui Hongdu.

In the beginning of the war, the person named Cui was of no importance, but Yu

Wenhu is indeed not easy to mess with. If I offend Yuwenhu because of this, it will be more than worth the loss. After all, I don’t really fall out with Yuwenhu at the moment. However, if I watch Liu Jibei being taken away like this, I will really not be willing to do it.

Hugh, what should we do?

Da Xizhen was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do for a while.

Liu Jibei could see that Da Xizhen was hesitant, and thought to himself: Why make it difficult for him? In the worst case, I will rush out and fly away. Anyway, I have plans to leave Chang'an.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Da Xi and said: "I think forget it, I already understand General Da Xi's kindness. Since Governor Cui refuses to let me go, let him catch me, but??????"

"

When he said this, he reached out and pulled out the "Wangba" sword from behind, with a look of helplessness on his face, and then sighed: "I just have to ask about the sword in my hand first."
