Chapter 72: The Mysterious Master

Jiumozhi looked a little embarrassed and explained: "That day, the poor monk saw that he was outnumbered, so he had to go outside to look for reinforcements. I hope you two don't blame me."

Song Qingshu was noncommittal and didn't care too much about this matter. Anyway, the two of them were not life-and-death friends. He probably would have made the same choice, but he didn't know if Wei Xiaobao would feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Looking up, he saw that Wei Xiaobao showed no anger, but a smile on his face: "The situation was critical that day. Fortunately, King Ming notified the troops outside the city in time, so that group of assassins had some scruples. I was originally worried that you would be harmed by those gangsters. , I'm so happy to meet Brother Song first and then you, the great monk. We're going to the best restaurant in the city. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight." As he spoke, he hooked Song Qingshu with his left hand and Jiu with his right hand. Mo Zhi walked out.

Although Jiumozhi knew that what he just said was just a form of power, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. However, when he thought of the content of Wei Xiaobao's words, his face froze and he murmured: "A poor monk cannot drink alcohol..."

"Wine and meat have gone through the intestines, and the Buddha is sitting in his heart. Why do you care, Ming Wang." Wei Xiaobao laughed.

"If the Buddha has a soul in heaven, I will probably slap him with a big ear after hearing this." Song Qingshu couldn't help but smile, and followed a group of people towards the city.

Wei Xiaobao's trip south to form an alliance this time was full of twists and turns. Enough time was wasted. Worried that Kangxi was impatient to wait, the group traveled day and night and soon returned to Yanjing City.

"Xiao Guizi, your grandpa, why did it take you so long to come back and report to me? Are you infatuated with Jiangnan beauties and reluctant to come back?" Kangxi was overjoyed when he saw Wei Xiaobao and hurriedly ran down from the dragon chair.

"Hey, Xiao Xuanzi, it's a long story. This time Xiao Guizi's life is almost over." Wei Xiaobao raised his hand to wipe sweat.

"Oh?" Kangxi became interested as expected, "What's going on?"

Wei Xiaobao then elaborated on how he was assassinated and then rescued by Song Qingshu. Then he went to Suzhou to recruit the super master Jiumozhi. On his way north, he was ambushed in Yangzhou and was captured by the Golden Snake King and others...

Wei Xiaobao has been fond of listening and speaking books since he was a child. He is very accurate in which plots should be emphasized and which parts should be briefly mentioned.

As expected, Kangxi's emotions were completely aroused by him. He was trapped in the palace on weekdays, how could he have the opportunity to be exposed to so many exciting things, and he was beaming with joy.

"Then how did you escape?" Although now he saw that Wei Xiaobao was safe and sound, Kangxi could not help but worry about how he could escape after being caught in the dragon's den.

Wei Xiaobao chuckled, and then told the story of the estrangement between the Blood Knife Patriarch and Yuan Chengzhi.

"You're so good, little Guizi," Kangxi said with paws, and glanced at him in surprise, "I usually think that you are an unlearned boy, but I didn't expect that in critical moments, you are more clever than some people who are well-read in poetry and books."

"Of course Xiao Guizi was ignorant and unskilled before," Wei Xiaobao gently rubbed Kangxi with his shoulder, "But later on, he often followed Xiao Xuanzi around in fish soup, and his ears and eyes were affected, so of course he became unscrupulous. Learned it."

"It's 'under the influence'. I just praised you," Kangxi glanced at him angrily, "By the way, how could your Blood Sword Ancestor let you go after he took you away?"

Wei Xiaobao originally wanted to lie to him and say that Song Qingshu saved him, but he thought that in order to survive, he leaked the most core secret of the Qing Dynasty. If Xiao Xuanzi was not prepared, wouldn't he be harmed?

After hesitating for a long time, Wei Xiaobao finally said: "Xiao Xuanzi, I dare not say..."

"Is there anything you dare not say?" Kangxi rolled his eyes and looked at him funny, "Did you say bad things about me in front of the Blood Knife Ancestor? It doesn't matter, I will pardon you."

"Uh... it's a little more serious than that." Wei Xiaobao glanced at him.

"Did you say bad things about your father or mother?" Kangxi's face couldn't help but darken.

"That's definitely not the case!" Wei Xiaobao shook his head like a rattle, thinking that he would die if he wanted to, so he told the Blood Knife ancestor everything he had revealed about the fragile relationship between Kangxi, Prince Bao, and Wu Sangui.

Kangxi frowned when he heard this and stood there silently for a long time.

Wei Xiaobao waited with fear, and quickly continued to explain in order to win some sympathy: "Xiao Xuanzi, at that time I was about to be taken back to Mongolia by the Blood Knife Ancestor. I thought that if the Mongolian prince used me to blackmail you, Xiao Xuanzi, Xiao Xuanzi would definitely If you are in a dilemma, saving me will harm the interests of the Qing Dynasty, which is unkind; if you watch me die, it will be disrespectful of brotherhood and unjust; how can Xiao Guizi bear to let Xiao Xuanzi be an unkind and unjust person? ..."

"Bastard!" Looking at Wei Xiaobao's deliberately pitiful look, Kangxi didn't know what his plan was. Seeing that he was really talking nonsense, he couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, just take this opportunity. Make a plan."

Wei Xiaobao's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Kangxi with admiration: "Xiao Xuanzi, you came up with a clever solution in the blink of an eye. You are indeed better than Zhuge Zhiliang..."

"Stop flattering," Kangxi said thoughtfully, "My alliance with the Western King and Prince Bao is only a temporary measure. Although the alliance has the upper hand over Mongolia in a short time, things will definitely happen in the long run. I have always wanted to resolve this matter, but Mongolia's foreign enemies are pressing on the border, so I can't make up my mind for a while. Since you leaked the news by mistake, it would be just right if Mongolia really withdraws its troops."

"But Mongolia has made it clear that they are looking at our dog bites..." Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but hesitated when Kangxi glared at him, and quickly changed his words, "Looking at us killing each other, doesn't that just play into their minds?"

"The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. Everyone in the world wants to be the fisherman, but few people understand that it is not that easy to be a fisherman." Kangxi smiled confidently and had a plan in mind.

"By the way, where are the two masters you mentioned?" Kangxi woke up and turned around to ask.

"Xiao Xuanzi, I am not bragging. The two I have found this time are truly masters among masters. One is Tubo State Master Jiumozhi, who is known as the first person in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. He can create invisible sword energy with his hands; the other is He is a young swordsman who can decapitate people within ten feet with a wooden sword, just like that backhand..." Speaking of the two masters he had recruited, Wei Xiaobao was extremely proud, thinking that Duolong was considered worthy in the palace. He is one of the best masters. Compared with them, he is in heaven and on earth... I feel that he will definitely be rewarded by the little emperor this time.

"Hand sword? Wooden sword?" Kangxi was indeed interested.

"Let's not talk about Jiumozhi. Song Qingshu, who uses the wooden sword, is not only powerful in martial arts, but also extremely loyal. He is like the elder Guan Yu to his brothers." Wei Xiaobao remembered Song Qingshu's kindness in saving him from fire and water several times, and took the opportunity to make a fuss Publicize his previous deeds.

"Quickly tell them to come in." Kangxi quickly turned around and sat down on the dragon throne. He wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor in front of outsiders.

"Cha!" Wei Xiaobao hurriedly conveyed the order.

When Song Qingshu entered the imperial study room and looked at Kangxi on the dragon chair, he felt a trance in his heart: "This young man in the dragon robe turned out to be the emperor of the ages... The imperial study room, I missed this place when I visited the Forbidden City. I didn't expect it. By a strange combination of circumstances, I have now made up for my original regrets."

Kangxi looked at the two masters who were blown up to the sky by Wei Xiaobao, with an enigmatic smile on his lips: "Speaking of masters, I also recruited a top master some time ago, but I don't know who is higher and who is lower than the two of them. ?"
