Chapter 371 Flaws
Sun Deyu returned to Chongyang Temple with his two senior brothers, and a Taoist priest came to meet him.

"Junior Brother, is this Junior Brother Yu from Zhongnan Mountain? I heard that Senior Brother Yu has already killed that villain Li Xia."

Sun Deyu said: "Yes, Senior Brother Sun just heard about it?"

"Yesterday I was ordered by my master to send a few uncles out of the city, and I just came back today...By the way, Junior Brother Yu, tell me how you killed Li Xia."

Yu Dechen turned his head slightly, and said: "I went south from Zhongnan Mountain via Lizhou to Qingfu County, and it turned out that Li Xia had already gone south to Dali. I had to stay until last month, when Li Xia had already attacked Chengdu. I sneaked into the county Ya, while he was asleep, cut off his head."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"Then?"

Yu Dechen said: "Li Xia trained nearly 2000 soldiers in Qingfu, and they chased and killed me wantonly. I was seriously injured and fled all the way to the west of Sichuan. Fortunately, I was saved by Junbao."

"Have you been back to Mount Zhongnan?"

"Never." Yu Dechen said: "I'm not sure whether the person I killed was Li Xia, first bring the head to Kaifeng, and please confirm, senior brothers."

"Would it be fake if killed by the county government?"

Sun Deyu said: "In other words, Brother Miao had seen Li Xia when he wrote 'Unworthy Taoist Qiu Chuji' on the night of watching the fire in Chongyang, and he had also identified him. Of course there is nothing wrong with him."

"Shut up, don't mention the real name of Changchun."

"Oh." Sun Deyu rolled his eyes.

"Senior Brother Miao didn't see Li Xia clearly at all that night. Everyone was busy fighting the fire at that time, so how could they have time to take a closer look? Besides, the head was probably already rotten. I think Senior Brother Miao thought it must be, so the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it. "

Yu Dechen said: "Senior brother is right. I beheaded someone else in the county government, because I have never met Li Xia."

"Normally speaking, it should be Li Xia. Junior brother Yu came back from Lizhou, didn't he ask the defenders to identify him?"

Yu Dechen said indifferently: "If you tell them, they will definitely keep their heads to repay the merit. I am punishing the thieves for the Quanzhen Sect, not making meritorious service for the officers and soldiers."

"Junior brother Yu has a high standard, he doesn't covet worldly achievements, he has been taught...by the way, who is this junior brother Zhang Junbao?"

"He came to look for relatives." Yu Dechen said: "Junbao is from De'an, and one of his uncles came to Beidi in Wokuotai Khan for three years."

"Oh? My surname is Zhang, from Jiangnan West Lude'an, Wo Kuotai Khan has been to the Northland for three years... Could it be the real Xuanyi?"

That Xuanyi real person was named Zhang Zhiqian, he was captured by the Mongolian army when he was young, and more than a hundred people in the same village were brutally slaughtered, only he survived. Entrance.

Yu Dechen nodded, and said: "I also guessed the same way, but it's a pity that my uncle has already gone north to Kaiping, otherwise I'll know it when I see him."

Li Xia just stood aside with a polite smile.

The identity of "Zhang Junbao" was made up by him and Yu Dechen together.It was precisely because Zhang Zhiqian was not in Kaifeng that they deliberately pretended to be family seekers.

……

After saying goodbye to the Taoist priest, the three of them walked to a deserted place. Yu Dechen soon lost the sense of the lone moon in the sky, and looked a little anxious. He turned to Li Xia and said in a low voice: "What you said is only to go to Kaifeng. Come pick someone up."

Li Xia said: "Yes, I only came to pick up people. But the person who was going to pick up was caught, right?"

"I still have to rescue someone for you?" Yu Dechen frowned deeply, and said, "Don't push yourself too hard."

"I see you're doing well, enjoy it."

"No." Yu Dechen flatly denied, "I just want to go back to Zhongnanshan to practice as soon as possible."

Taking people to Kaifeng, falsely claiming to have killed Li Xia... these things can be covered up after all, after all, he only wants to be a quiet and inactive Taoist priest, not to be an official in Mongolia.

Things were not difficult at first, but the person Li Xia wanted to pick up was in prison, so he went to investigate today, met Shi Zhang, and acted out again.

Yu Dechen felt that he seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.

"Why bother me all the time? I won't lie and hide it for you again." He solemnly emphasized it again, seeming a bit long-winded.

Li Xia said: "Then you and Shi Zhang have an agreement."

"You...you think I dare not?"

"If you dare, go ahead and say it, I'm serious."

Yu Dechen flicked his sleeves and turned his back, very displeased, took a few deep breaths and said: "If you want to save someone, commit suicide and go to the cell, wouldn't it be simple?"

"Huh?" Li Xia said, "That's not how it was done."

He walked to the window and looked at the Mongolian warrior statue in the distance through the sparse branches.

I remember that last year Liu Jinsuo had clearly knocked it down and smashed it to pieces. As a result, after more than a year, Quanzhen Sect built another one.

"There are some things that cannot be solved with simple and crude means..."

Sun Deyu tilted his head, and interjected, "Senior Brother Yu, why do I feel that you have been tricked by him? Why don't you charge more money, anyway, you won't be able to tell."

"You are a cultivator, how can you talk about money?" Yu Dechen lowered his head and glanced at Sun Deyu, his tone sounded like a teacher's.

"Isn't it okay to talk about money?" Sun Deyu said, "If you have the ability, you can sue me to my master."

Yu Dechen was taken aback, and said angrily: "You naughty boy..."

"Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. If senior brother wants to sue me, I will reveal all the things that senior brother didn't kill Li Xia and lured him into the country to kidnap people."

"How are you going?"

Sun Deyu spread his hands and said, "Brother, can you give me some money too?"

With a soft "pa", Yu Dechen patted his hand, and said: "If you are lost but not conscious, if you don't want to lose your lust and wealth, you might as well return to the common world and go home. Why do you have to fall in love with the Taoist sect for so long?"

"Sex first, fate later." Sun Deyu was not annoyed, rubbing his hands together, still smiling.

The reason why he lingered beside Li Xia and Yu Dechen was because Li Xia was recognized by him as soon as he came, and he asked for a hush money.

Then Li Xia asked him to lead the way, wandered around the city, and inquired about some news.

Sun Deyu, a young Taoist priest, probably doesn't quite understand the consequences of doing these things.

For example, the Chongyang Temple was burned. Although it was very serious, he had seen too many war disasters since he was a child. Isn't it fire? Who hasn't seen it?

Just treat it as a fire in the world...

"I'm an ordinary person, but senior brother, you don't want to get rich, so why do you want to help Li Xia?"

Yu Dechen didn't answer, but looked towards the sky with some distress.

People of his generation experienced the chaos of the Kingdom of Jin when they were young, and lived under the rule of the Great Mongol Kingdom, but they spoke Chinese, studied Confucianism, and entered Taoism.

Ogodei Khan, Mengge Khan never made him feel like an emperor, his saints were always Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi...

Live too confused.

The ruthless Qingxiu people on Zhongnan Mountain only do Qingxiu every day, but the hot rice cakes in the small courtyard in Qingfu County can make people smell a little bit of human fireworks...

"I promised him, a gentleman keeps his promise." Yu Dechen couldn't figure it out, so he made an excuse for himself.

"We are Taoists, not gentlemen."

"Shi Zhang should be coming soon, the little Taoist priest will help me deal with him." Li Xia said suddenly.

"I'm going? How about you?"

"Let's say that Zhang Junbao went north to look for Master Xuanyi." Li Xia took out a small silver ingot from his sleeve, handed it to Sun Deyu, and said, "This is your reward."

"Okay!" Sun Deyu was overjoyed.

"Little Taoist is really a pure and helpful person."

"I think you're right..."

~~
Shi Zhang squinted at the head in the box, slightly disappointed.

After traveling from Qingfu to Kaifeng for more than [-] days, the head has rotted and it is difficult to identify it.

"It's a pity that Yao Duanfu has gone to Luoyang, otherwise he can come and recognize him." Shi Zhang muttered, thinking of Yao Sui again.

"Erlang never thought that this might not be Li Xia?" Sun Deyu suddenly stepped forward and asked, looking mysterious.

Shi Zhang said: "It's possible that last year Wang Xiao killed a good man and used a fake corpse to fool him. By the way, where are your senior brother and Zhang Junbao?"

"Zhang Junbao said he wanted to go north to find his uncle, but he disappeared as soon as he turned around. Brother Yu went to look for him, but it was so strange."

"What's so strange?"

Sun Deyu had a thoughtful expression on his face, and said, "That Zhang Junbao...isn't it like the Li Xia that Erlang just described?"

Shi Zhang froze for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"You don't believe your brother?"

"Of course I believe my senior brother, but is it possible that this is the case? Li Xia saw through that senior brother was going to assassinate him, and found a substitute for the dead ghost in the house for senior brother to kill, and then his men seriously injured senior brother, and pretended to save him, followed I’m here in Kaifeng. Otherwise, why would I disappear in a blink of an eye.”

Shi Zhang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No."

"Why not?"

"You don't know, Li Xia is now the magistrate of the Song Dynasty. Not long ago, he made great contributions in the First World War in Chengdu. I'm afraid he will be promoted again. A civil servant in the Song Dynasty must do things differently. If he still holds It's ridiculous to get lost in such small ways as alone in the room."

"Oh." Sun Deyu lowered his head, feeling very disappointed.

Shi Zhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be dejected. It is very rare for you to make such a guess at such a young age. But you must know that an official is a superior person, and what he needs to know is to drive his subordinates. Do things, not risk yourself.”

"Is that how Erlang concludes that Zhang Junbao is not Li Xia?"

Shi Zhang smiled inscrutably, raised his hand and waved, and said, "Tell Master Qiyun to hand over Li Xia's head to the Hook Examination Bureau...I'm leaving."

Shi Zhang knows that Yang Guo has been in contact with Jia Sidao of the Song Dynasty in recent years, so no matter what Li Xia wants to do, he can just tell Jia Sidao, and there is no need to come to Kaifeng alone...

~~
However, after Shi Zhang told Shi Tianze about this today, Shi Tianze pondered for a while, but said: "It was Li Xia who came, and he deliberately showed his flaws to let you know."

Shi Zhang was completely stunned, and said in astonishment: "I don't know what this means."

"I don't know why? Li Xia is telling us that he is here. You claim to be smart, but you can't even hear this? You are not as good as a little Taoist..."
