Chapter 275 Heart Knot
The city of Guangling also has deep memories for Lu Qiang.
He was brought here by He Wuji to join the Beifu Army, Chunlan and Dongmei found here, and Xie Wushuang's father and daughter here...
The north is already under the control of the imperial court, so there are not many troops near Guangling. The former barracks have already been reclaimed into farmland, and there is no trace of the barracks.
Stop by the river and look at the place where he once stayed. Lu Qiang also felt a lot in his heart. For him, everything that happened in the past few years seemed to be a dream, a gorgeous and real dream.
After dealing with two major events, Lu Qiang has decided to cancel the southern tour, but he still has two important things to do here, one is to meet Xu Daofu, and the other is to go to Maoshan to visit his master.
Xu Daofu is far away from the Shandong Peninsula, and it will take a few days to come here, so Lu Qiang plans to go to the mountains to find his master first.
After a few hurriedly, Lu Qiang long remembered that he went down the mountain from that road. After the brigade escorted him to the foot of the mountain, he ordered the army to be stationed and wait. He only took more than a dozen bodyguards into the mountain.
In order not to lose his way, he deliberately found a hunter nearby as a guide.
As a guide for the emperor, the hunter was so happy that he almost fainted, but when he heard that Lu Qiang came to find the old immortal, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Your Majesty, it's not that Xiaomin refuses to show you the way. It's really that Xiaomin doesn't know where to find the old immortals. The villagers only know that the old gods are practicing in the mountains, but no one knows exactly where it is."
This was expected, and Lu Qiang was not difficult for him. He smiled and said, "Go to the mountain for a walk!" Maybe we have a deep blessing, and we can see the old immortals when we go in."
Lu Qiang didn't dare to say that he was an apprentice of the old immortal, otherwise the hunter would be even more stunned.
With the emperor's generous reward, how could the hunter say no, so he took Lu Qiang and his party to climb the mountain.
The vast Maoshan Mountains are high and densely forested. This is a primitive forest that has not been developed and destroyed. If there is no guide, I'm afraid I won't think of coming out again.
Looking at the various animals looming in the dense forest, Lu Qiang couldn't help thinking of the black panther he hadn't seen for a long time. As he walked, he asked, "My fellow villagers, have you ever seen a black panther nearby?"
"Someone has seen the mythical beast beside the old fairy, and Xiaomin just looked at it from a distance, but didn't see it nearby."
Lu Qiang knew that the black panther was spiritual. If it was there, he would definitely find the master. Unfortunately, the sky did not fulfill his wishes. The group looked for two days in the mountains. Not to mention the master, he could not even find the difficult place of Lu Qiang's sunset.
Two days later, although there was no physical fatigue, Lu Qiang couldn't help but feel sorry. Is this old man so unwilling to meet himself?
Lu Qiang believes that with the master's ability, his move to find him must have been known by him, but he just doesn't want to come out to see himself.
At dusk, seeing that the day has passed again, there are still too many things waiting for him outside the mountain. He can't delay any longer.
His men built a temporary camp. Lu Qiang stood by the forest with his hands behind his back and looked at the dark forest. After a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Dead old man, if you don't come out, I will set fire to the mountain..."
Lu Qiang's voice was full of true energy, and his voice spread far away, echoing in the mountains for a long time.
Lu Qiang's bodyguards were better, but the hunters were very scared. It was the first time he heard people call the old immortals the dead. Isn't the emperor not afraid of the immortals?
I can't help but persuade him carefully: "Your Majesty, don't blasblas the gods!"
Lu Qiang smiled and didn't say anything. Master's game is dust, and what he dislikes most is those red tape.
Soon, the guards set up the tent, and on the other side, the guards also handed over the roasted game.
Lu Qiang sat on a stone, drank a mouthful of water, and was about to eat. Suddenly, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
Behind him was a low grass, which could not hide anything at all, but as Lu Qiang turned his head, he saw a simple little black panther coming out of the grass.
"Ah!"
Lu Qiang couldn't afford to eat any more. He got up and picked up the little guy. He knew that this must be the descendant of the black panther. The little guy was here, and the big guy must not be far away.
Sure enough, as the little guy was picked up, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the darkness. When he arrived at Lu Qiang's side, he rubbed it affectionately around Lu Qiang.
"You have no conscience and haven't come to see me for so long, but you have gone out to fall in love. It's quite fast. The children have made it out, hehe! Yes, the little guy looks like you."
The hunters are dumbfounded. Isn't this the legendary mythical beast? Why are you so intimate with the emperor? No wonder the emperor is called the emperor again! Dare and gods have communication...
Lu Qiang ignored other people's wild thoughts, made out with the panther for a while, and then said, "Is it the old way that let you come? Go! Take me to see him"
Waving his hand and pressing the bodyguard who wanted to get up and follow: "You are waiting for me here, and I'll be back soon"
After saying that, he turned around and followed the panther to the depths of the woods.
It was not until Lu Qiang went far away that the hunter stammered to the bodyguard leader, "Your Majesty, recognize and recognize the old immortals?"
The bodyguard leader smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the son of heaven. Isn't it normal to know a few immortals?"
Under the guidance of the black panther, he didn't go far. Lu Qiang was under a towering ancient tree and saw his master and sloppy Taoist.
Seeing the master, Lu Qiang quickly deterred himself, straightened his clothes, and then strode forward and bent down to kneel down. But before he could speak, he was knocked twice on the head.
Then he heard the old man say angrily, "Are you capable? Unexpectedly, I want to burn the Taoist's nest. Do you really think I can't clean you up?
Although Lu Qiang's head hurts, he smiled and said, "If the disciple doesn't say that, the master won't see me!"
"Hmm! You are smart. If you are busy with you, I will be free. What can I see if I have nothing to do?"
Although Lao Dao's tone is cold, you can still see that he is also very happy. There is an apprentice who is the king of a country and supports the Han people in the world. Of course, Lao Dao has reason to be happy.
Laun Lu Qiang, looked up and down, and then nodded and said, "It's okay. You didn't lose your time, didn't spend your energy on women, and didn't let Taoist master down."
Lu Qiang was shocked and said that this could also be seen? Holding the old road and sitting down on the stone, he said, "Master, my apprentice intends to build a Taoist temple for you in Luoyang, so that it is also convenient to take care of you nearby."
"Hmm! I won't go. I can't die for a while. I don't need you to take care of it."
Speaking of this, the old road paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Send your second son up the mountain!"
"What?"
After listening to the old man's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, and then understood that Master had been secretly paying attention to himself, otherwise how could he know this?
As I was thinking about it, I listened to the old Tao's tone to ease: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. When the child grows up, once it is used by people with ulterior motives, it is the disaster of the wall and the root of the subjugation of the country. I believe you know how to choose."
In front of his master, Lu Qiang no longer needed to hide his feelings. He couldn't help sighing. Since he started his career, he has killed nothing, and his mind has been honed to gold and iron. This is the only thing that is the eternal pain in his heart.
"The child is isolated from the world and can't contact those evil people. When he grows up and is sure that it will not threaten his brother's status, I will let him go down the mountain. In fact, this is also for his good."
It can be said that the old man is well-intentioned, that is, for the strong road, but also for the Jin Dynasty to no longer take the old road of fighting in the same room.
Lu Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "Master's attentive apprentice understands that there is nothing to worry about here as the master sent by the child, but has the master ever thought that people's hearts will change? Just talk about me! Sometimes I feel that I don't know myself more and more."
"Where people are, what kind of words do you say? As a teacher, you know that there are many things that you can't help, just like Xie's father and daughter. If you don't take decisive measures and use their tricks, your queen's mother and son will be killed by them sooner or later, so you are not wrong in this matter, and it doesn't mean that you have become too much It's cruel, but your status determines that you have to do it."
This is the first time that Lu Qiang has revealed his feelings to outsiders, and it is also the first time that someone has commented on this matter from another perspective. After saying that, his heart suddenly lit up, and the depression that had been pressing on his heart for a long time was finally swept away.
I just let him send the child up the mountain, but he is still a little reluctant. After all, the child has no mother. However, what the master said is also right. Only by keeping children away from the world will they not be used by those with ulterior motives.
After a long time, he finally nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by the master"
"Only you know about this matter. It's better not to tell your queen. I will take the time to quietly take the child away. You will come every five years until he grows up"...
The master and apprentice chatted for a long time under the moon. It was not until the old man urged him that Lu Qiang reluctantly left.
Unexpectedly, although the panther did not follow Lu Qiang, he took his cub in front of Lu Qiang, obviously asking Lu Qiang to take it.
Of course, Lu Qiang will not refuse the request of this spirit beast, and he really likes the little black panther, so he hugged the little guy to say goodbye to his master. After finding the guard hunter, he went down the mountain early the next morning.
Both the hunters and the guards were curious about whether the emperor had seen the old immortals, but Lu Qiang always smiled and said nothing.
Although the guards did not know the result, one thing was certain, that is, after the emperor came down from the mountain, he swept away the haze that had been depressed for many days and became talkative and laugh again.
The guards were right. It was the old words that completely untied Lu Qiang's heart knot.
Lu Qiang has decided to cancel the southern patrol. After going down the mountain, he did not go south, but came to Jingkou, the station of the Beifu Army.
It is close to the mouth of the Dajiang River, and now an important naval base has been built, and naval ships are often moored here.
At this time, Xu Daofu has been called to Jingkou to wait for Lu Qiang.
