When Lin Dong and Duan Yu, the master and apprentice, left the Biancheng, it was the second year of Yuanfeng.

He originally wanted to go to the Yanmen Pass area on the border of Liao and Song dynasties as soon as possible, and with the help of the people in the martial arts world, he quickly built a city so that he could support the local people.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

When passing by the Yellow River, a group of people chased after him from afar. Several of these people were wearing official uniforms, and the rest were wearing yamen runners' clothes or soldiers' clothes.

As far away, these people began to call loudly.

"Master of Taoism."

"Master, don't hurry to leave, wait for us."

"Master, stop leaving."

When he got closer, a group of people separated and gave up the eunuch who was guarding the group in the middle. He chased after him in anger.

"Oh? What instructions does this official officer have?"

Lin Dong stopped and when the eunuch walked in front of him, he grabbed Duan Yu who was about to speak and asked in confusion.

“Huhhhh…”

The eunuch gasped for a long time, and after his breathing was smooth, he spoke: "Master Taoist, I have found you. The official family is looking for you during this period. Could it be that you don't know?"

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and bowed: "You want to leave again. Your family (from which our family comes from later generations) will not be able to return to Beijing to report."

"Official family?"

Lin Dong was surprised and didn't understand what Song Shenzong was doing when he was looking for him, but he remained silent on his face: "Please bother the official... The noble man told me, what's the matter with the official searching for me?"

At least he had communicated with Wang Anshi and had dealt with many officials, so he still had a certain understanding of what he called these eunuchs.

"I dare not call him a noble person. The noble person is his adopted father, and his family is just an errand runner."

The eunuch shook his head and explained, then took a deep breath, took out a letter, and handed it to Lin Dong, saying, "That's right. The official heard that the Taoist priest had done a great thing in the northern border a few days ago, so he became interested. Then he sent his own letter. The Taoist priest should read the details for himself. In addition, this is a private message, not an imperial edict, so the Taoist priest does not have to stick to etiquette."

Song Shen... Zhao Xu knew that I, a rural Taoist priest, did not understand the rules of the court?

This is quite interesting.

"The official family actually knew that I didn't understand etiquette, and I really loved it because I was wrong."

Lin Dong bowed to the south without any hesitation, and took the letter in surprise.

Then, he first looked at the fire paint on it carefully and found that there was no sign of breaking it, then he opened it.

"By the way, Taoist priest." While Lin Dong read the letter, Huang Lu spontaneously said: "Your name is Huang Lu, and Taoist priest will call it a small way in the future."

After all, he was acquainted in the palace, so he naturally had a look of his eyes. He would never dare to be rude when facing a person as holy as Lin Dong.

"Since that's the case, I won't say much."

Lin Dong wanted to decline politely, but when he saw Huang Lu was confused, he agreed and opened the envelope at the same time.

Huang Lu didn't dare to disturb him, and stood silently with his eyebrows down and his eyes.

"…When I heard the name of the Taoist priest before, I thought that Jie Fu said that the Taoist priest was a master of no origin... In this way, I would like to ask the Taoist priest to come to Tokyo for a lecture."

The content of the letter is very simple. It probably means that Zhao Xu knew about Lin Dong's establishment of the border guard city before.

At the same time, he had a good impression of Lin Dong, a Taoist priest who cares about his family, country and the world, and wanted to invite him to talk to Bianliang City.

Perhaps he felt that Lin Dong was not that easy to invite, so Zhao Xu also mentioned Wang Anshi's praise in the letter.

"I see."

After reading the letter and thinking for a while, Lin Dong smiled at Huang Lu and said, "Please help me lead the way. I will set off for Bianliang."

"I dare not take the word "please", Taoist priest, please follow me."

When Huang Lu received Lin Dong's response, he felt relieved and led the way with a smile on his face.

The clever Duan Yu said happily after listening to the approximate question: "Master, are we going to Tokyo Bianliang City?"

Duan Yu had a lot of longing for Bianliang City.

Unfortunately, Lin Dong never went there, and he could not go there by himself, so he could only deeply suppress his expectations in his heart.

The opportunity is right in front of you. When Duan Yu thought of going to the most prosperous city in the world, he was filled with excitement.

"yes."

Lin Dong was not thinking about this, so he responded casually.

At this moment, he was still wondering what Zhao Xu was thinking.

Is the reform encountered obstacles?

This is unlikely.

Although Wang Anshi's previous actions were not very good, the reforms he presided over brought great trauma to the lower class people under the misinterpretation of some people.

But it has to be said that Zhao Xu still did some things during this period.

I dare not say that Song Shenzong had already monopolized the power at this time, and at least he had his own right to speak.

From this point of view, we can see what Song Shenzong's methods are.

Taking advantage of Wang Anshi's reforms to quickly gather power from the central government. After that, Wang Anshi, who had "great public resentment", was dismissed from the prefectures and successfully achieved the achievement of controlling rights.

No matter which direction he looks, his skills are quite powerful.

Of course, Lin Dong also wanted to see if Song Shenzong was just good at playing power tricks. If so, although he would not leave directly, he would not express his thoughts.

"My goal before was to go to Bianliang City, establish relationships with the emperor, and then implement my reform method. Unexpectedly, I couldn't see any hope at that time, but now it is..."

Thinking of this, he was on the boat and sighed in his heart: "I really want to plant flowers but not bloom, but I don't want to plant willows and willows to form shade."

"The waterway is relatively close, and from then on, you can reach Bianliang City in just a few days."

After Huang Lu arranged everything, he explained to Lin Dong.

"This is a little bit of detail, just look at the path." Lin Dong nodded and said with a smile: "I have already taken a boat to see the scenery of the river bank, but this time I am fully satisfied."

"If this is the case, my family will feel at ease."

Huang Lu patted his chest without knowing whether it was true or not, with a cautious look on his face.

...

The waterways in the Song Dynasty were quite developed, and they left Bianliang City, nearly two months in all directions.

On the other hand, it is the same.

Lin Dong took the official boat from Hedong Road to Fenzhou and went straight to Hezhong Jinzhou, which took only more than seven days.

Although some of the rivers were turbulent during this period, they were all on land, but they were still much faster than simply using land.

The group successfully entered the city of Bianliang, Tokyo, but it took only fourteen days.

In the evening, Huang Lu gently knocked on the cabin door. When the cabin door opened, he asked with a smile on his face: "Master, we are almost here. Are you still satisfied with this journey?"

"I am extremely satisfied!"

Facing Huang Lu, who might have a good grasp, Lin Dong had no difficulty, but exclaimed: "The itinerary was arranged properly and there was no hindrance at all. Everything was handled by Xiaolu."

"Otherwise, if I were to let me take the boat alone, it would be not so convenient."

This is not what Lin Dong gave Huang Lu's face, but his real feeling.

If he wanted to cross the river by boat, the two prefectures in Henan would never be so simple. All kinds of difficulties he encountered during this period were indispensable.

After having Huanglu, there was no trouble along the way, and he came along the river smoothly.

He was naturally satisfied.
