I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 83 Easy things
In the next two days, Zhao Zhijing seldom left the Taoist cell because he was still confined in the cell, as a way of showing his attitude.

Now the disciples are all on the right track. They know how to practice hard without any supervision. They just need some pointers on certain key points or bottlenecks.

Zhao Zhijing thought about it and decided that apart from the necessary luggage, there were not many things he needed to take, so he was not in a hurry to pack.

What was more surprising was that after the disciples had told him that they were going down the mountain that day, no one came to them and said that they must follow their master down the mountain, as if they had made an agreement.

Zhao Zhijing didn't mention it again and just waited until the day he was about to go down the mountain.

There are currently two things that need to be done before going down the mountain, one is Guan Maner and the other is Zhen Zhibing.

Before going down the mountain, he had to take Guan Man'er to Xianyang to ask Guan Changhong and Guan Shengnan whether they still wanted Guan Man'er to follow this master since he was about to leave Chongyang Palace.

As for Zhen Zhibing, he and Zhang Zhiguang are still reflecting on their mistakes behind closed doors.

Zhao Zhijing was not sure what would happen in the future, and he could not continue to watch over Zhen Zhibing if he went down the mountain, so he simply found an opportunity to go to his house and take him away.

How can I, alone, accomplish such a great cause as preaching the Quanzhen Sect?
"Junior Brother Zhen, long time no see."

Zhao Zhijing first reported his intention to Qiu Chuji, saying that he had acted on impulse and felt guilty for hurting Junior Brother Zhen, so he wanted to visit him.

Qiu Chuji knew that he was about to go down the mountain and would not act recklessly again. Moreover, the original dispute between the two for the position of the third-generation chief disciple no longer existed, so he nodded and agreed.

Zhen Zhibing's injury has healed, and he stays in his room every day to reflect on his mistakes. Suddenly, he sees Zhao Zhijing coming to his house and is surprised.

"Brother Zhao, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Zhao Zhijing did not hide anything and told her that he was going to preach the gospel. At the end, he reminded her, "Junior Brother Zhen is a man of both literary and martial talents. He should make some contributions to our Quanzhen Sect."

Zhen Zhibing didn't understand what Zhao Zhijing meant, and said cautiously: "Brother, you are too kind. I am not talented enough. Now I am punished to reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors and cannot leave."

Zhao Zhijing didn't want to beat around the bush with him, so he said directly: "Whether you want to or not, you have to leave Chongyang Palace. I don't care where you go in this big world, but stay away from Zhongnan Mountain."

"Now the third generation's chief disciple is my junior brother Li Zhichang, why is Senior Brother Zhao still forcing me?"

Zhen Zhibing missed Xiaolongnu day and night, and during the period of seclusion, he had nothing else to distract himself, and his delusions became even worse.

At this time, his cheeks were thin and he was in a state of panic all day long. Qiu Chuji and the disciples who brought him meals every day thought that he was sincerely reflecting on his mistakes and was feeling guilty.

Zhao Zhijing saw this and knew that Zhen Zhibing was unable to let go of this inner demon, and would still do that shameful thing if he had the chance in the future.

"Do you have to let me tell you everything you're thinking before you admit it?"

When Zhen Zhibing saw him bring up the matter again, he knew he was referring to Xiao Long Nu. He felt angry and ashamed, and denied it in a trembling voice, "Nonsense!"

"When did you learn the magic to know what other people are thinking?"

Seeing that he was still trying to deny it, Zhao Zhijing glanced around the desk in the room and saw several pieces of white paper turned over.

When Zhen Zhibing saw where Zhao Zhijing's gaze was, he was struck by lightning. He dodged and crumpled the paper into a ball in his hand, his body shaking.

"I don't care what you think. Either you go down the mountain to preach and leave Zhongnan Mountain forever, or I will report to Master Qiu and let him decide!"

Zhao Zhijing once wanted to tell Qiu Chuji about this matter directly, but he felt that Zhen Zhibing would definitely deny it, and it would take a long time for him to talk so much, so he simply went to his house and forced him to leave Zhongnan Mountain.

"Why on earth are you forcing me so hard? Could it be that you also..."

Zhen Zhibing thought that Zhao Zhijing also had fantasies about Xiao Longnu, but he couldn't say those three words, so he could only ask angrily with gritted teeth. "It's just something that happened to me."

Zhao Zhijing turned and left the room, giving an ultimatum, "I will go down the mountain to do something in the next two days. If you haven't made a choice by the time I come back, don't blame me for making the choice for you."

After solving Zhen Zhibing's problem, Zhao Zhijing turned around and went to find his master Wang Chuyi, telling him that he wanted to take Guan Maner to Xianyang City.

Wang Chuyi and Guan Changhong also knew each other. As fellow martial artists, they thought this approach was reasonable and logical, so they nodded in agreement immediately.

"Be careful on the road, go quickly and come back quickly."

Wang Chuyi knew that it would be time to leave after Zhao Zhijing came back. Otherwise, if he kept delaying, it would seem like his commander was deliberately condoning him.

Zhao Zhijing thanked his master, went back to get his sword, and prepared to set off with Guan Man'er.

Yang Guo saw this and asked in a low voice, somewhat worriedly, “Master, are you and Junior Brother Man’er coming back?”

Zhao Zhijing smiled and said, "Why, you don't trust the master?"

"No, no, I am afraid that Junior Brother Man'er will stay at home and not come back. We have been together day and night these days, and I really can't bear to leave Junior Brother Man'er."

Yang Guo knew the purpose of his master's descent from the mountain, but he was still a little worried that the two would never come back, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I am reluctant to let him go, but it depends on his family's opinion. This kind of thing cannot be forced. If Man'er doesn't come back in the end, you can visit him in Xianyang City anytime after you have completed your training."

After all, Guan Man'er was different from ordinary children. Although Yang Guo was reluctant, he could only hold his junior brother's hand, whisper a few words between children, and then reach out to help him tidy up his clothes.

It was early spring and it got dark early. It was inconvenient for Zhao Zhijing to travel at night with Guan Man'er, so he comforted Yang Guo with a few words and then set off.

After leaving Chongyang Palace, we went down the mountain and headed straight towards Xianyang City. We ate and drank when we were hungry and thirsty, and it was no problem for us to walk during the day and sleep at night.

The next day, they arrived at Xianyang City. As it was almost noon, Zhao Zhijing led Guan Man'er into the city gate, confirmed the location of Changhong Escort Agency with passers-by, and then walked along the road.

Coincidentally, at the gate of the escort agency, there were escorts from the Changhong Escort Agency loading the truck. He looked familiar. He was Cai Xingquan, who had received Zhao Zhijing and others at the Xianyang city gate last time.

"Daozhang Zhao!"

Zhao Zhijing pulled Guan Man'er and nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry for your intrusive visit. I'm sorry for your rude visit."

"I wonder if Chief Escort Guan is in the escort agency right now?"

Cai Xingquan stepped forward and bowed respectfully. Everyone in the Changhong Escort Agency knew that Taoist Zhao had defeated Miss Guan with just one move last time.

"Master, you have arrived at the right time. The chief escort leader is about to escort a convoy himself and is talking in the hall right now!"

"Master, wait a moment. I will go in and report right away!"

According to the etiquette at that time, any distinguished guest who came to the host's home had to go out to greet him in person. If he walked in without being invited, it would seem presumptuous.

Zhao Zhijing was waiting at the gate. Seeing that there was quite a lot of cargo to be escorted on this convoy, it was no wonder that Guan Changhong had to go on the mission personally.

It didn't take long before Guan Changhong's voice arrived, and it was as loud and clear as the last time they met.

"Master Zhao has come to visit us. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive me!"
