The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Okay, I got it, you go back to your post first." Li Shan responded to the general after confirming.

After the general got the response, he rode on his fast horse and rode away.

At this time, Li Shan did not go directly to Kaiyuanmen, but turned back to the palace city.

In a palace, Li Shimin was correcting a memorial with a writing brush.

"Your Majesty, Commander Li is asking to see you." A personal guard walked into the hall and reported to Li Shimin who was busy.

"Let him in." Li Shimin said in a deep voice without raising his head.

Recently, there are so many memorials that he doesn't have much time, so he can only start to review the memorials after he is in court every day.

Memorials from all over the country are always piled up in front of his desk, and it seems that they can't be finished.

Moreover, in recent days, the party members who belonged to the Tang State had already defected to Tuyuhun, which made more and more border reports.

What's more, the major generals in the court always have nothing to do, and they all want to lead their troops to attack the party members, and they even want to beat Tuyuhun down.

Soldiers must be sent, but the envoys must move forward. This is a matter of great importance to the two countries, and there should be no confusion.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." After Li Shan entered the main hall, he saluted and said loudly.

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Li Shan and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, according to the report from General Tu who guards the Kaiyuan Gate, the nine-shouldered Taoist leader and his younger sister have arrived in Chang'an, and they are on the city wall of the Kaiyuan Gate at this moment." Li Shan reported accordingly.

"Is it true?" Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words.

"General Tu said that the younger sister of the Nine-shouted Daoist wanted to go to the Chang'an City Wall, so the Nine-shouted Daoist asked General Tu." Li Shan responded again.

After Li Shimin got the confirmation, he was thinking about why Zhong Wen went to Beijing this time.

Over the past few days, he has known the changes in Lizhou today from the secret notes passed down by Baiqisi. Similarly, he also knows that Zhong Wen, the governor, has not been seen for a long time.

A governor, he left as soon as he said he would leave, and entered Beijing as soon as he said he would enter Beijing, which really gave him a bit of a headache.

But no matter how headache it was, he also recognized the governor.

After all, the changes in Lizhou made him feel a little too strange.

The Lizhou government established a Lizhou business group to speak for the people. Moreover, the Lizhou business group opened a shop in Chang'an a few years ago, selling some very special things in Lizhou.

He also tasted Li Shimin and liked it very much.

Of course, what he tasted was only brought back by the royal servant, but he didn't see Lizhou send it to the palace with gifts.

But in the past month, it seems that it is no longer open, even the emperor wants to eat, which makes him keep paying attention to things about Lizhou.

But now, Zhong Wen came to Chang'an suddenly with his little sister, which really made Li Shimin feel a little puzzled.

Speaking of which, Zhong Wen returned to Chang'an, which is what he hoped to see.

But the development of Lizhou is also what he wants to see.

Although the departure of a governor did not affect the changes in Lizhou, it was still as usual, which made Li Shimin curious about some administrative methods of Zhong Wen, the governor.

"Li Shan, go and call Jiushou into the palace, um, that means I want to meet his little sister, by the way, what's his little sister's name?" After Li Shimin was silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke to Li Shan Shan said.

"Returning to the Holy One, the little sister of the Nine-song Xiaodao Master is said to be Xiaohua. It seems to be a nickname, but not a big name." Li Shan replied after recalling.

"Xiaohua? Well, I see, you go." Li Shimin heard Xiaohua's name, and he was concerned.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Shan bowed and left.

After leaving Miyagi, he rode on his horse and ran directly to Kaiyuanmen.

At this time, Zhong Wen had already brought Xiao Hua down the city wall, heading for Changshoufang.

Xiaohua has seen the scene of Chang'an, climbed the city wall of Chang'an, and seen the grand scene of Chang'an, which made her so excited that she no longer knew where she was.

After laying down the city wall, he asked Zhong Wen where he had passed while walking.

"Brother, is this the West Market? Let's go in and have a look." When the two siblings came to the West Market, Zhong Wen pointed to the West Market and introduced it to Xiao Hua, which made Xiao Hua want to go directly to the West Market. Let's see if this West Market is really as lively as my brother said.

"Don't go now, I'll take you to the West Market tomorrow. We have to go back to the guest house first. You will have a chance to visit Chang'an in the future. Don't worry about it right now." Zhong Wen thought and hurried back to Huihui It's been more than half a year since I came to the guest house, and I don't know how the guest house is now, but I want to know how my adopted daughter Ren Zhu is now.

"Okay then, brother, you must take me to see the West Market tomorrow." Xiaohua watched many people coming in and out from the gate of the West Market. It seemed lively, and she felt more hopeful in her heart.

But she also knew that when she first came to Chang'an, at least she had to settle down first, and she would still have to study and live in Chang'an in the future. Indeed, as her brother said, she had plenty of time to visit Chang'an City.

But at this time, just as Zhong Wen was passing by the West Market with Xiao Hua, Li Shan had already arrived at Kaiyuanmen.

"General Tu, where is the head of the Nine Heads of the Path? Why is it missing?" Li Shan asked the general surnamed Tu.

"Return to Commander Li, the Marquis of Zhong County has been away for nearly a quarter of an hour, and he seems to be heading towards the West Market." The general surnamed Tu saw Li Shan approaching suddenly, and quickly trotted over to respond to Li Shan.

Li Shan didn't speak, and once again hit the horse and chased in the direction of Xishi.

Li Shan knew that Zhong Wen must be going to the Huilai Guest House in Changshoufang, so he simply went directly to Changshoufang.

"Brother, is this the Changshoufang? Will I live in this Lifang forever?" Not long after, Zhong Wen entered the Changshoufang with Xiaohua.

"Well, yes, this is Changshoufang. When we arrive at the guest house in a while, I will ask someone to prepare a map of Chang'an City for you. Make a note of it, so as not to lose it." Zhong Wen responded.

"I won't lose it, can I know how to read?" Xiaohua retorted when she heard her brother say this about herself, and her lips pouted, and her tone became more and more like Zhong Wen's.

"Yes, you know how to read, and you won't lose it. Let's go, and you'll see Xiao Zhuzi and Xu Fu in a while." Zhong Wen hurriedly stopped, it's better not to talk about this matter, so as not to be annoyed again.

"The leader of the little way, the leader of the little way." At this moment, Li Shan finally rushed to Changshoufang, and when he saw Zhong Wen, he shouted loudly to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen heard a familiar voice, then turned around, only to realize that it was Li Shan who called him, "It turned out to be Commander Li, but is he okay? How do you know I'm in Chang'an?"

"Xiao Daoist, what you said, General Shoukai Yuanmen told me that you came to Chang'an, otherwise, how would I know that you are coming to Chang'an, Xiaodao?" Li Shan got off his horse and said.

"So that's the case, why? Commander Li called me, is there something important I can't do? I just arrived in Chang'an, so don't make trouble for me, I have to take my little sister back to the guest house first, I'll talk about it later. "Although Zhong Wen didn't know why Li Shan came to chase him, there must be something wrong.

"Little Daoist, you..., I also obey orders. The Holy One ordered the little Daoist to take your little sister to meet the Holy Spirit, not because I have something important to do. Or you should go back to the guest house to settle down first, and then go Come with me to see you?" After hearing the words, Li Shan also understood that he had just arrived in Chang'an, so he had to settle down first.

As for Li Shimin's order, let's not talk about it for now, let's wait a little later, who made Zhong Wen's status unusual.

"Your Majesty wants to see me? Do you want me to take my younger sister? That's fine. Let's go after my brother and sister settle down later." Zhong Wen felt a little puzzled after hearing this.

His brother and sister had just arrived in Chang'an, and Li Shimin already knew about it, and even asked him to take Xiaohua to face the saint by name, which made Zhong Wen very puzzled.

Even if he is a county lord and the governor of Lizhou, he still can't meet the kind of person that Li Shimin most wants to see, and he still wants to see his little sister.

However, after Zhong Wen thought about it, he began to understand a little bit.

After Zhong Wen finished speaking, he did not introduce his younger sister to Li Shan, but took Xiao Hua's hand and went directly to Huilai Guest House.

But in Xiaohua's eyes, she became a little curious about Li Shan.

Chapter 362 After the first meeting, I was as close as a sister

"Brother, who is he? Is he a general?" Xiao Hua asked Zhong Wen as she walked forward.

"Well, he is a general." Zhong Wen responded.

"Brother, then I will be a general in the future. The clothes he wears are so majestic." Xiaohua would turn her head to look at Li Shan behind her from time to time, her eyes were extraordinarily energetic.

Zhong Wen didn't know what was in Xiao Hua's head, but after saying this, Zhong Wen turned his head to look at Xiao Hua, and then realized that his little sister seemed to like the general's clothes very much.

However, are there female generals in this era?

There should be none.

As far as Zhong Wen knew, it should be impossible for a female general to appear in the Tang Kingdom at this time, and she would not be allowed to go to the battlefield.

In history, Hua Mulan joined the army in place of her father, and that was only a few hundred years ago.

In the next few hundred years, there will be more.

"You read the book clearly first, and then talk about being a general." Zhong Wen shook his head and said with a sigh.

After a while, the brother and sister arrived at the gate of Huilai guest house.

But at this time, Huilai guest house was still as usual, not even a single guest, which also made Zhong Wen suddenly curious.

Zhong Wen remembered that when he left Chang'an last time, he told Xu Fu and the others that he wanted to manage the guesthouse well.

But after more than half a year, I returned to Chang'an again, and found that the guest house was still the same, nothing had changed, let alone the guests.

"Xu Fu, Xu Fu." Zhong Wen shouted loudly into the guest house.

"Who, who called me? Don't you know you can't make a noise now? If you make a noise about my little bamboo, I won't kill you." At this time, Xu Fu was busy in the kitchen and heard Someone called him loudly, and his heart suddenly became angry.

This is the time when the master is teaching Ren Zhu, and anyone who dares to make loud noises will definitely interrupt Ren Zhu's reading and literacy.

This is what he has repeatedly warned, anyone who comes to the inn is not allowed to speak loudly, not even Jin Shui.

However, in normal days, few people came to the inn, except for Jin Shui, some of Jin Shui's subordinates could come.

In other words, in order to protect Ren Zhu from being bullied, Xu Fu was beaten and bruised all over in Xishi, and he was raised in Chunsheng Thatched Cottage for a month before he was taken to the guest house.

Later, it took another two months to get better.

When Xu Fu was injured and recuperated in the Chunsheng Cottage, Ren Zhu took care of him every day in the Chunsheng Cottage. Even after Xu Fu was carried back to the guest house, Ren Zhu basically never left.

Having such a sensible and well-behaved little girl is the blessing of Xu Fu's three lives, and he met such a lovely little baby, so Xu Fu loves Ren Zhu the most.

Just like that, when Xu Fu heard his name being shouted so loudly outside, he was so angry that he rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand, and had to find the person who shouted loudly.

But when he came out with the kitchen knife, he froze on the spot, as if he had seen a ghost.

It took Xu Fu a long time to react, looked at Zhong Wen at the gate, and went straight over, "Daoist, you are finally back, woooooooo, Daoist..."

"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet. Don't cry for me here." Zhong Wen was a bit baffled by Xu Fu's move.

I have only been away for more than half a year now, and it has only been nine months, why do I make such a show to myself as soon as I meet? Could it be that Xu Fu has changed his career and is going to be an actor or something.

"Master Dao, why are you coming back now? I have been bullied miserably, Master Dao, you have to make the decision for me." Xu Fu was crying like a child at this time, as if he had been greatly wronged generally.

"Can you stop crying? There are too many people. By the way, this is my sister Xiaohua, Xiaohua. He is Xu Fu. By the way, where is Xiao Zhuzi? Isn't it in the guest house? And Jinshui?" Zhong Wen hurriedly stopped Xu Fu from crying, and introduced his little sister to him.

"Ah? Little lady is well. My name is Xu Fu, and I am the housekeeper of the Taoist priest." Xu Fu looked at Xiaohua standing in front of him, and then he understood why Zhong Wen brought a little lady here.

At this time, Xiao Hua, when she saw this Xu Fu, she stood there in a daze for a long time, without saying a word or asking, wondering why this Xu Fu in front of her started crying when she saw her brother.

However, that's not the point.

The important thing is, seeing Xu Fu coming out with a kitchen knife, Xiao Hua was really scared and took a step back.

Fortunately, Xiaohua was brave enough, so she didn't get scared.

But for a person carrying a kitchen knife, I still feel a little wary.

If it wasn't for her brother's presence, Xiaohua might have started kicking her.

What kind of ostentation is it to come to see a guest with a kitchen knife.

Just as everyone entered the living room of the guest house, an old master led Ren Zhu down the stairs on the second floor.

With such a big commotion, it was natural that he couldn't go to class with peace of mind, so the old master took Ren Zhu and walked down directly to see what happened, which made Xu Fu cry loudly.

"Father." After seeing Zhong Wen, Ren Zhu shouted anxiously, then ran down the stairs and ran over.

"It's good to grow taller. Can you still get used to it in Chang'an?" Zhong Wen touched the head of Ren Zhu who was running close to him, and he felt happy in his heart.

"Cough cough" At this moment, the teacher also went down the stairs, seeing that the students he taught didn't look good at all, he coughed a few times to remind him.

"Is the adoptive father okay?" Ren Zhu hurriedly took a few steps back after hearing the cough, and saluted Zhong Wen, the adoptive father.

"We don't need to see outsiders like this. I am your adoptive father, not an outsider. This is the master, right? I haven't asked Gao's name yet." Zhong Wen felt very good when he saw Ren Zhu salute under the reminder of the master's cough. , but also waved his hand to show that nothing happened.

Then he turned to Master again, saluted and asked.

"Old man..."

"..."

After a long time, all conversations are over.

But while the adults were talking, Zhong Wenmao seemed to have forgotten to introduce his little sister.

However, at the moment, it has become a different look, so Zhong Wen can save Zhong Wen to introduce her, or she is afraid that the two girls will fight and become jealous as soon as they meet.

"My name is Xiao Hua, and your name is Ren Zhu, right? When I was at home, I talked about you a lot." Xiao Hua was like a big sister, pulling Xiao Ren Zhu, sitting on a stool and talking, which made Ren Zhu Somewhat cramped.

"I, my name is Ren Zhu, aunt, you can call me Xiao Zhu." Ren Zhu who calmed down a little, looked at the big sister-like aunt in front of him, and quickly responded.

"Hee hee, I'm an aunt now, well, yes, you are my brother's adoptive daughter, so you must call me aunt, oh, by the way, how long have you been in Chang'an? Do you know any interesting places in Chang'an ?” At this moment, Xiaohua became excited after hearing Ren Zhu’s address.

At home, except for Xiao Wu who was younger than her, she was considered the youngest in the family.

Even if there is a baby younger than her in the village, they don't play with her.
