Chapter 97 Departure
Near the Kaifeng city gate.

Shen Kai narrowed his eyes and looked at the passers-by.

A soldier in disguise walked up to him and said in a low voice, "I haven't found Li Xia all this time, did I really escape?"

"I have searched all along the way, and there is no trace. Wu Lang guesses that he must still be in Kaifeng City."

"Wang Xiao's command was blind, and the clues were all broken."

"No way, let's calm down the matter first, so as not to alarm more people." Shen Kai said: "Let's withdraw first, and send Wulang back to Bozhou..."

In the distance, with a steamed bun in his mouth, Lin Zi glanced this way, and walked lazily across the long street.

Relying on his ordinary appearance, he is very laid-back.Strolled around in the city and walked to a small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, Han Chengxu raised his head from the scroll, his eyes were deep in thought, and he said slowly: "My lord, the search in Kaifeng City's secrets must be over in these two days, are we going back to the south soon?"

"Yes."

Li Xia was also reading the information given by Yang Guo, and he had to ponder each page carefully for a long time.

"Mr. Han thinks, if we want to find a place to lead the army, which is better?"

"Judging from this information, the Mongolian army's next strategy should focus on the two major battlefields of Sichuan, Sichuan, and Beijing and Lake. In the land of Jianghuai, there are many rivers and lakes, which are not conducive to the march of cavalry, so they should not focus on the main attack."

"Yes."

"Then, it's better to go to the Southwest or Huaidong, but it still depends on how things work in Lin'an. It may not be up to us to decide. It's too early to tell." Han Chengxu said: "However, before returning to Lin'an... I wonder if Mr. Xiao Lang has thought about something?"

"what?"

"There may not be a third choice. If you rely on a certain prince in the north, with the ability of Xiaolangjun, you will surely emerge soon and replace him."

"Ok?"

Han Chengxu said: "When dealing with local tyrants, Mongolia is freeing them, but Song Ting is suppressing them. If we want to get ahead, it is actually easier to be in the north than in the south. And with this information, we can also trade with Song Ting in exchange for local superiors." financial and material resources.

Waiting for Mr. Xiaolang to show his skills and stand firm for a year or two, he can also take Yang Gong to the land.In my opinion, it is much easier for Xiao Langjun to become a Marquis than to persuade Song Ting to send someone to form an alliance with the Marquis.Song Ting's side... How should I put it, Mr. Xiao Lang has no fame, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get ahead. "

Li Xia didn't speak, but there was some thought in his eyes.

Han Chengxu said again: "If it is in the north, as long as I have a territory, I still have some clansmen, and I can contact many survivors to join Mr. Xiaolang."

"Go back to the south." Li Xia said.

"Mr. Xiao Lang won't think about it?"

"Not to mention anything else, if we stay in the north, the Zhang family will kill us first."

Han Chengxu knew that although Li Xia was willing to refer to other people's suggestions, he was extremely firm on some key issues, so he didn't say much.

He nodded, thinking that his son was controlled by Song Ting, so he should go back...

At this moment, Lin Zi pushed the door open and came in, saying, "Zhang Hongdao's people have finally left."

This was expected, Li Xia and Han Chengxu nodded without any disturbance.

Han Chengxu pondered: "Speaking of this, there is something very strange... It seems that the Zhang family's search for us is a bit too hard?"

"Ok?"

"It stands to reason that what the Zhang family wanted was Mr. Gao. After all, he was the one who assassinated Wu Liang Hetai. But every time his soldiers shouted, they always wanted you, Mr. Gao."

"I killed Chi Na." Li Xia said.

He turned to Lin Zi and asked, "Is there any news from Bozhou? What's going on between Bozhou Dalu Huachi and the Zhang family?"

Lin Zidao: "I listened to the teahouse near Jinglue Mansion for half a day, but I didn't hear any movement in Bozhou, but I heard that Di Cong in Yingzhou committed a serious crime. It is said that a Mongolian official died in his territory and sent several carts away. Get some things for the manager..."

Hearing this, Li Xia had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"If so, I'm afraid the Zhang family won't let us go easily."

Lin Zi asked, "Are you still going back to Lin'an?"

"Yeah." Li Xia stood up and said, "I'll go get ready and leave tomorrow..."

~~
The little Taoist priest Sun Deyu walked past the burnt wall, looked up, and saw several brothers carrying down the corpse hanging from the gate.

The corpse had been hanging for a few days, and it gradually began to stink.

In the past few days, Sun Deyu also heard a lot of things. He knew that Li Xia, a Song native who entered Kaifeng City at that time, was called Li Xia and caused many troubles.

He also knew that the corpse hanging in Chongyang Temple did not belong to Li Xia.

Li Xia is taller and has wider shoulders.

Why do you know?Because the strings of coins hidden in the sleeves were given by Li Xia.

Of course, there is no need to tell others about this kind of thing. If you tell others, Master and Master Qiyun will inevitably get angry again, which will affect your practice.

For the sake of his master and Daoist Qiyun's practice, Sun Deyu planned to rot the whole thing in his stomach.

Then go to Pan's Restaurant to eat some fried dishes, and press the secrets in my stomach again...

The Pan family is located on the east bank of the Bian River. Although Sun Deyu is young, he has the bearing of a rich man. When he arrived, he lifted his Taoist robe and sat upstairs in a private room.

"Come here with some good fried vegetables, and then go to Goulan over there to invite a young lady to play the piano and sing."

"Little Daoist...you are?"

"The Taoist leader is the Taoist leader, why do you call him the little Taoist leader?" Sun Deyu said: "Everyone has the Taoist nature, how can you tell the old and the young?"

"The Daoist said so."

"Since they are all Taoist, can the elderly listen to the music? Can't the young ones listen to the music?"

"Yes, yes, the villain will invite you now."

Sun Deyu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Don't look at the young age of Pindao... Cough... I have inquired about the price of your restaurant, so don't deceive me. I want three stir-fried vegetables and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine."

"Yes, the Taoist priest would like to have another staple food. The 'Yulou Mountain Cave Plum Blossom Bun' from my shop is not bad."

"I'm here to eat stir-fried vegetables, not steamed buns. Do you think I don't eat enough steamed buns?"

"Yes... no no... I'll serve the Taoist priest..."

Sipping sweet wine and listening to the young lady's babbling song, Sun Deyu blushed slightly, staring at the young lady, wondering what he was thinking?
After a song, the other party stepped forward, sat down beside him, and asked with a smile: "Master Daoist, do you want to go play in the servant's house?"

"Play...play what?"

"Why doesn't Taoist order the 'Yulou Cave Plum Blossom Bun'? But I don't know how to practice..."

The young lady smiled, leaned close to Sun Deyu's ear, and whispered something again, her breath was fragrant and soft.

After Sun Deyu heard this, although he still didn't quite understand how to play, he wanted to play very much, and asked, "Do you want money?"

"The Taoist priest is joking, he wants money."

Sun Deyu hesitated.

Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced out of the window. He was taken aback, and saw a young Taoist standing downstairs with his hands folded, looking at him with a smile.

Sun Deyu took the young lady's hand and said: "My good sister, wait for me for a while, I will go to do something..."

Running all the way down Pan's Restaurant, Sun Deyu ran up to the man, pulled him past him and hid in the alley.

"Are you crazy? Why are you still in the city? If someone finds out that you are not dead, my master and Master Qiyun will be mad at you."

Smart people are like this, they don't have so many useless greetings, they know the identity of the other party in one sentence, and express their attitude, but this little Taoist didn't think about it before he said it, and he said it naturally.

Li Xia smiled and asked, "Do you want money?"

Sun Deyu was taken aback.

Before I had no money, I only knew that money was good. Now that I have a little money, I know that the more money the better.

The young lady in the restaurant is not very beautiful, I heard that there are even more beautiful girls in the brothel...

He spread his hands and said, "Give me the money, or I will report you."

"I don't dare to report me if I don't give it to you, or you will be finished."

Sun Deyu said: "You, you...you can't threaten me like this, I gave you a place to live, you can't treat me like this."

Li Xia took out two strings of money, handed them to him, and asked, "Do you want more?"

"Do not want to."

Saying so, Sun Deyu's eyes were fixed on Li Xia.

Li Xia said: "Go and steal seven Taoist robes and documents for me. The description of the documents must match ours, and then tell me the information about your Quanzhen sect in various places."

"Immeasurable Life Blessing, the poor Taoist understands, how much merit will the layman give to the poor Taoist?"

"You are a Taoist priest, but you learn from Buddhism to collect merits, it is very disgusting..."
