AD 1042

Chapter 232 Parting Path

"That being said, marching and fighting is not a child's play. I really don't dare to take this risk." Master Maitreya still didn't make up his mind.

"Master, the heavy snow this winter is God's blessing Maitreya. If we wait until the spring flowers bloom and the court mobilized the army, we will be in danger. After all, we are alone. It's better to plan as soon as possible."

"Hmm, that's of course. It's really not appropriate to go north. If you go south..." Maitreya master calculated the possibility of going south and the influence of Maitreya in the south.

"It's not bad to go south. If you can take over the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, it is also a good idea." Xiao Mantian continued to contribute.

"This" Master Maitreya suddenly felt very confused. At the beginning of the rebellion, he thought that he could rise up as long as he shook his arm, but what should he do after the rebellion? Where to go? How to settle down? How to survive without being destroyed by the officers and soldiers is the problem.

Xiao Mantian didn't think so much. Now he just wants Master Maitreya to decide wherever he goes as soon as possible. Even if he immediately waved his army to attack Bianliang, he agreed.

"Lord, your brothers' lives are in your hands. You have to plan as soon as possible." In Xiao Mantian's words, he said in the heart of Maitreya.

"I understand, but this matter is really not small. Let me think about it. There is no need to worry about Xiao Hufa. Tomorrow, the Japanese Lord will give another explanation to the brothers."

Xiao Mantian couldn't persuade Master Maitreya at first sight, so he had to give in, so as not to push too tight and cause suspicion.

After inspecting the city defense of Juye on the same day, Master Maitreya returned to his own place in the city. A charming and simple mansion was originally the real estate of Mr. Hong, a rich businessman here. Later, Mr. Hong offered it in order to buy the safety of the whole family.

Now this Mr. Hong's official fortune is prosperous. He has joined the army in Juye City and is in charge of the household registration status of the people in the city. Another job is to find all the local merchants and donate money and grain.

Master Hong knew that this was a hard job that offended people. If he didn't agree, the whole family would lose their heads. Next, he tried to reason with the merchants in the city. Unless that person is not afraid of death and would rather ask for money than death, most businessmen will donate a little.

However, even so, Mr. Hong has become a public enemy scolded by the people of the whole city. Everyone just dares to be angry and dare not say anything. Who knows that Mr. Hong is actually difficult to ride a tiger. If you can give him a chance to repent, maybe Master Hong can also do an earth-shaking career.

The matter of Liang Shan is like a big dream, and the experience of Yuncheng is more like a nightmare. Zhao Ze did not expect that he would fall so deeply and almost buried half of the Song Dynasty.

When he received the secret letter sent by Su Su, he was shocked and sweated coldly. He didn't close his eyes all night and took a nap at dawn.

After a day of preparation, Zhao Ze took a few brothers on the road back to Beijing. On this day, the frozen city ignited a fire. The whole city was full of fire, and the blazing flames dyed half of the sky. Even Dengzhou, which was far away by the sea, saw it. Zhizhou Feng Kun witnessed the incident in surprise and was in Wanghai Tower. The matter was dictated and recorded by the master in a straightforward book.

The journey of life is full of thorns, and sometimes you will fall to your head if you are not careful.

The frozen city is a huge trap. Fortunately, Su Su discovered the matter early and told Zhao Ze the truth, saying that the handkerchief on his body affected the continuity of time and space. Every time he encounters a disaster and trouble, the extreme desire in his heart will affect the handkerchief, and the handkerchief is like a It's time to say goodbye to the butterfly that caused the tsunami.

Su Su understood what he meant and let Zhao Ze destroy the Ring-like handkerchief and return to the embrace of history. Be a useful person for the Song Dynasty, don't think about those unrealistic and catch the wind and shadows. Now there are only two ways in front of him, or go back to Beijing to face the saint, and let Renzong know what will happen to him, hoping to be forgiven and take it lightly. Or from then on, he will be an ordinary person and disappear in the bitter sea of all sentient beings. Zhao Ze, who pulls the cart, Zhao Ze who sells vegetables, Zhao Ze who kills pigs, Zhao Ze who beats iron, Zhao Ze who mines, and Zhao Ze who farmers. In short, the Song Dynasty is so big, he can do whatever he does.

Buddha said: The sea of suffering is endless, and turning back is the shore.

Power and desire are the most dream of ordinary people, and Zhao Ze has to obey the rules of the world. I chose to go back to Beijing to meet Zhao Zhen, the son of the emperor today.

There is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west, and the west of Yuncheng is Puzhou.

After climbing over a big mountain, Ximen Sanzang said goodbye to Zhao Ze, saying that he was going back to his hometown with A Jing to see his son. His family needed him as the head of the family and could not go to Beijing with Zhao Ze.

"It's really a pity, brother!"

Zhao Ze finally recognized a foreign elder brother. He lived and died in adversity for 20 days and nights. He suddenly had to separate and go their separate ways. It was really a little difficult to part.

"Big brother" Zhao Ze called Ximen Sanzang the eldest brother from the bottom of his heart, and a few separation worries rose on his resolute face.

"Second brother" Ximen Sanzang also knows that he doesn't know when we will meet this time. He is very unbearable, but A Jing is all he has. Since listening to A Jing's complaints last night, Ximen Sanzang has also softened and feels that a peaceful life is suitable for him. He does business, makes money, raises his family, and chats with his family. Laughing and unrestrained, this is the real him.

"Second brother" Ximen Sanzang raised his hand and pointed to the north of Puzhou, a few snow-covered Cangshan. "The eldest brother is going back to his hometown. There is a Qianjiazhuang there. A Jing and I's house is there. If the second brother is free in the future, he can come to see the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will definitely welcome him."

Zhao Ze smiled faintly, "Brother, please don't worry. When everything is stable, I will definitely visit you. At that time, I will get drunk with my eldest brother. If you don't get drunk, you won't come back."

"It's a deal." Ximen Sanzang stretched out his right hand and clasped Zhao Ze to swore. Before leaving, Ximen Sanzang took down the royal soul from his waist, handed it to Zhao Ze with both hands, and said, "This treasure knife has been with the eldest brother for more than ten years. From now on, let it follow the side of the second brother. It is regarded as a little gift of the eldest brother. When I miss the eldest brother in the future, Just look at this knife. The eldest brother is next to the second brother."

"This can't be done" Zhao Ze pushed the imperial soul back.

"Second brother, this is a little intention of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. This time when she returned to her hometown, A Jing wanted the eldest brother to devote himself to his family business. From today on, the eldest brother will not intervene in the world, so the second brother of Yuhun will definitely accept it." Ximen Sanzang respectfully picked up the treasure knife and handed it to Zhao Ze again.

"Big brother, you are, cough, make my second brother embarrassed." Zhao Ze had no idea whether to pick it up or not.

Onlookers are clear. Zhao Ze is not easy to accept because of brotherhood. I don't know if Ximen Sanzang is sincere. On the contrary, Shangguan Mei's heart is bright. She has been walking in the rivers and lakes all year round. As soon as she looks at Ximen Sanzang's expression and tone, she knows that this man has made up his mind to retreat.

So, he hurried forward to return the salute and thanked Ximen Sanzang and his sister-in-law A Jing.
