From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 416

Zhao Jianjia was exhausted when she returned to the room, and Xue Ningyue also collapsed.

For this reason, Su Youzi sighed and poured his inner strength into the two of them, which helped them regain some spirit.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhao Jianjia bowed deeply, but looked around and frowned, "Where is Chenxi?"

Ziyuan whispered, "I haven't seen her. I don't know where she went."

Qingyuan said, "She should go back to her bedroom. She has been like this for a while."

Su Youzi said calmly, "Don't worry about her. She has her own destiny and is moving towards her goal. Just take care of yourself."

Zhao Jianjia couldn't help but ask, "Master Su Youzi, may I ask if Chenxi has the talent for martial arts? My husband said that only when she practices a certain martial art to a certain level can she recover her voice and walk on the ground."

Su Youzi shook his head and said, "At least for now, her talent is mediocre and she may never reach that level in her lifetime."

Zhao Jianjia and others looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Sometimes reality is like this. No matter how hard you work, everything is in vain.

…

Chang'an is not far from Mount Zhongnan. Everyone set out at noon and arrived at the foot of Mount Zhongnan at dusk.

Three hundred soldiers were waiting here. Guan Lu Zhangfei led a group of people to carry the items and followed Zhao Jianjia and others up the mountain.

Su Youzi instructed: "Zhongyang Palace in Mount Zhongnan is the ancestral home of Quanzhen Shenlong Dao. After going up, swords and knives cannot be unsheathed, and loud noises and reckless behavior are not allowed."

Her voice was very calm. Everyone looked at each other and followed her instructions.

Quanzhen Dao is a major sect in the world, with many Taoist temples. There are many small courtyards in the back mountain, and two of them were specially vacated to accommodate Zhao Jianjia and others.

Until late at night, after everything was arranged, Su Youzi called everyone together.

She first looked at Zhang Fei, Guan Lu and others, and said calmly: "You can't stay. This is the intention of the head master. The reason is that you are holding weapons and have not yet killed. It is not suitable for you to stay in the Taoist temple."

"And my opinion is that you can go to the foot of the mountain to find a farm to live in. Don't worry about their safety. With me, they are safe."

Zhao Jianjia hurriedly said: "Thank you Master Su Youzi, I will let Guan Lu and others go down the mountain and will never disturb the peace of Taoism."

After speaking, she said to Guan Lu and the others: "It is more convenient for you to stay at the foot of the mountain. You can use your methods to inquire about the news in Chang'an."

Xue Ningyue also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, even if we are in the mountain, we have to know the news outside."

These words made Su Youzi frown.

She said in a deep voice: "When Yuan Yizi was practicing Taoism in Baiyun Mountain, I persuaded him to become a monk, but he said that he was not satisfied with the world. After stumbling for a year and a half, he ended up fleeing."

"You have worked hard to come to Zhongnan Mountain from Shenjing. You should study Taoism well. This can relieve your suffering in the world."

"As for other people, it is better not to come to Zhongnan Mountain. After all, this is a place outside the world. Don't participate in worldly disputes. Don't treat this place as some kind of den."

Zhao Jianjia could only smile awkwardly and said: "Yes... Master Su Youzi is right. Jianjia doesn't read much. I just want to read more Taoist scriptures."

"Guan Lu and Zhang Fei will not go up the mountain again, but we are secular people after all. Ziyuan will occasionally go down the mountain to purchase some supplies."

Su Youzi sighed and said: "You are a good child. In fact, I don't want to treat you harshly, but I will always be with you. Nanshan has never taken in secular people for so many years. Now they reluctantly agreed for my sake. "

"I have to restrain you so that I can report to the head teacher."

Zhao Jianjia said: "Master Su Youzi, we understand, thank you very much."

Su Youzi sighed: "Besides, the secular world is full of suffering, and how many people can live happily? I have three disciples and a senior sister, and now they are all in the secular world and can't extricate themselves."

"Among them, Yuan Yizi has a hard life, but the other three are also suffering. The senior sister is entangled in the family and country, the eldest disciple is entangled in the world, and the second disciple is full of passion...but they don't know that this secular change is the reincarnation of heaven, and it is repeated from generation to generation. If you want to be free, you can only hide from the world."

"I am thinking about you."

Zhao Jianjia opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Master, you are wrong!"

Guan Lu finally couldn't help it, he said in a deep voice: "Master, you traveled thousands of miles from Yunzhou to Shenjing to protect Madam and others to settle down in Zhongnanshan. I am very grateful."

"But it is not true that the secular world is full of suffering. The secular world has its own sufferings, efforts and hardships, ups and downs and encounters, life and career, everyone has their own sufferings."

"But the secular world also has its own happiness, the warmth of the family, the true love of husband and wife, the kindness of parents, the filial piety of children, the mutual understanding of confidants, and the joy of the world.Gathering for three cups of wine and chatting under a lamp late at night, isn't it the joy of the world? "

"Practicing is to forget the joy of the world and comprehend the joy of the Tao, but the lonely lamp and cold water, the perennial loneliness, the boredom and boredom, isn't it also suffering? It's nothing more than different identities and different pursuits. "

Speaking of this, he said loudly: "Now the Great Jin is full of wounds, the people of the world are living in poverty, and countless people are suffering in the darkness. The master wants to say that this is a reincarnation, I Guan Lu understand, but I don't agree. "

"What my lord and I have to do is to use the outline of the Tao to illuminate the world, drive away the darkness, and light up the light. The world is all suffering, we want the world not to be bitter. The world is all suffering, and we also move forward resolutely. "

"The master cultivates Taoism in the mountains, and we are not cultivating Taoism in the secular world? It's just that the master cultivates Taoism to save himself, and we and the lord cultivate Taoism to save others. The master cultivates the way of nature, and we and the lord cultivate the right way of the world! "

Zhao Jianjia stood up in anger and shouted: "Guan Lu! How dare you be rude to the master! Why don't you apologize!"

Guan Lu lowered his head and bent slightly.

Zhao Jianjia looked at Su Youzi and whispered: "Master, don't blame me. Guan Lu is a scholar and has worked in the army. He is stubborn and has a bad temper. Please bear with me."

Su Youzi shook his head and said: "Taoism is natural and cannot be forced. You should have a good rest."

She stood up and left casually.

Zhao Jianjia sighed helplessly and couldn't help saying: "Guan Lu, Master Su Youzi is my husband's master. He has profound Taoism, noble morals, and is respected by people."

"She has been practicing Taoism since she was a teenager. In the long run, this aspect is naturally not something we ordinary people can understand. Even if you don't agree, you should keep silent. "

Guan Lu scratched his head and said helplessly: "Yes, Madam, I was impulsive."

"The main thing is that all of us brothers know that the lord is doing great things and walking the right path. We are proud of it and can't stand such slander."

Zhao Jianjia said: "It's not slander, it's just a different path. You can go down the mountain."

Guan Lu half-knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "Madam, I have already discussed with Zhang Fei. He will live at the foot of the mountain with people to pass on information to you and protect your safety."

"And I will take people to find you. In the current situation, you need more help. Guan Lu can't stay."

Zhao Jianjia said: "This is a serious matter. You decide for yourselves."

"Thank you, Madam! "

Guan Lu stood up and strode away with Zhang Fei and others.

The two of them strode out of the Taoist temple with dozens of experts.

Until this time, Guan Lu said in a deep voice: "Is there any problem with the deployment here?"

Zhang Fei said: "No, dozens of experts will live in the village into the mountain, and any unusual movement will not escape my eyes. Besides, you have seen the pattern of Zhongnan Mountain. There are so many masters that the Jianghu assassins can't enter the back mountain at all."

"You are not a Jianghu person, you may not know the strength of Master Su Youzi, that is the real number one in the world."

Guan Lu nodded and said: "Then I am relieved, the situation on the lord's side should be more urgent. This drastic change has exposed many of our trump cards, which is very unfavorable to us."

"I want to meet up with the adults as soon as possible to lay a more solid foundation for the lord."

Zhang Fei frowned and said: "Take it easy, what lord or not lord, just call the adults. "

Guan Lu laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "In this regard, you are more cautious than me."

Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing and said, "Just kidding, my position is too special. Any small mistake will cost a painful price. I must be more cautious than anyone else. I have been used to it for a long time."

Guan Lu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I plan to take Liu Daguang's 300 people, split them into small groups, and go to the south together from various roads."

Zhang Fei asked in confusion, "Can Liu Daguang be trusted? It's not that I don't trust him, but this matter has not been approved by the adults..."

Guan Lu smiled and said, "You still don't know the adults well enough. The adults are willing to let Liu Daguang protect the lady, which means that Liu Daguang is completely trustworthy, and it is the highest level of trust."

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "I don't understand your twists and turns. You can do it yourself. What I have to do is a headache. The adults want me to understand the rivers and lakes here and control them secretly. "

Guan Lu said, "You have a heavy task? My mission is not important? Do you know how difficult it is to break up 300 people? Do you know how high the intelligence network standards are that the master asked me to build? His requirement is to isolate the inner court and the Jinyiwei. "

The two complained for a while, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"Let's not complain, the road ahead is long, and we have to keep going. "

Guan Lu's voice was not depressed, butAnd there was a hint of excitement.

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's move forward together!"

In the dark night, the two of them clapped their hands heavily, and the sound echoed in the forest.
