Chapter 641: A big battle that year

Nan Yan couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he was seen through.
She gave a dry laugh.
At exactly this moment, Ye Yu and Ran Xiaoyu walked over from outside and whispered to Nan Yan, "Madam, let's guard the master, you can go eat something."
Ran Xiaoyu said again: "Madam, you haven't slept all night, right?"
"..."
"Got a good rest."
Last night, when entering this Taoist temple, although Nan Yan was in a panic, he still took a distraction from his busy schedule and secretly reminded Ye Xun and Ran Xiaoyu.
To hide the identity.
After all, they are not completely clear about who these Taoist priests are.
Therefore, she only told these people that it was her husband on the bed, and Ye Yi and Ran Xiaoyu were their entourage.
Nothing else will be mentioned.
Seeing them coming, Nan Yan was a little relieved, and she hadn't slept all night, water and rice did not touch her teeth, she was indeed hungry and sleepy.
So they ordered them to guard well, and went out with the Taoist chief.
This was the first time she saw this Taoist temple clearly.
This Taoist temple on the island deep in Xingluo Lake looks beautiful and quiet, and even some houses are very elegantly built.
The strange thing is that this Taoist temple is cultivated on the island, and it is reasonable to say that there are no people coming, let alone any incense.
Where do they get the money?
The Taoist priests who came and went were very leisurely and natural.
Numerous question marks popped up in Nan Yan's heart.
After a while, they walked to the dining hall.
Nan Yan followed that old way to get some food, naturally all vegetarian, such as vegetables and tofu.
Sitting on both sides of a table, Nan Yan looked around, and there were only two of them in the dining hall.
She whispered: "The Daoist..."
The old Taoist said with a smile, "Madam, the poor master is a good teacher."
"Shang Shan Master..."
Nan Yan muttered these three words.
Goodness is like water.
"The Tao Te Ching" is a Taoist classic, and his Taoist name comes from the sentence "The good is like water, water conserves everything without fighting."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I haven't had time to thank Shangshan Master for his life-saving grace last night."
The good teacher smiled slightly.
He is about 60 or 70 years old, but his actions are vigorous and his demeanor is free. He has no sense of old age at all.
Especially those eyes, shrewd like a mirror.
Nan Yan said again, "Where are the others?"
"Oh, they are still in morning class."
"We came so early—"
"It's okay," Shangshan said with a smile: "Poor Dao happens to have something to say, I want to ask Madam."
Nan Yan's heart slightly mentioned.
The spirit also became vigilant immediately, but still smiling on his face: "What does Master Shangshan want to ask me?"
Master Shangshan also looked at her with a smile.
"Who are you guys?"
Nan Yan's heart jumped slightly.
Last night, she reminded Ye Wei that they wanted to hide their identities, but obviously, their appearance was not a normal thing, and it had already aroused these people's suspicions.
Therefore, early in the morning, the Shang Shan Master came to inquire.
Nan Yan smiled reluctantly and said, "I, my husband is a businessman, and he took me and my family to play here."
"play?"
Master Shang Shan raised his gray eyebrows slightly.
With those eyes, clearly write these three words
Do not believe.
Nan Yan felt a little embarrassed himself, this lie was too unqualified, ordinary people, who would come to play in places that were not marked on this map.
Besides, Zhu Feng, who is like a businessman?
But the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't take them back. Fortunately, even though the Shangshan Master obviously didn't believe her words, she didn't press her.
He just smiled, as soft as water, and said: "Since this is the case, then I won't ask too much."
After speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of porridge.
Nan Yan felt even more embarrassed.
The meaning of what the Shangshan Master said is clearly-since you can't ask the truth, then the poor will not ask much.
It's really not good to talk to the monks.
Nan Yan lowered his head to eat.
After a while, the other Taoist priests all had their morning classes and also came to this place to eat. They were very quiet. Although there were many people, they did not make any noise.
Nan Yan was eating, feeling that the Taoist priests were looking at him curiously.
She thought for a while, then hesitated and whispered softly: "Dao Master, isn't your Taoist temple usually not crowded?"
Shangshan said: "Of course."
"Then, why build a Taoist temple here?"
"Because here, so here."
"..."
This is so deep.
Nanyan couldn't catch it for a while.
She thought for a while, and then said, "Then, I want to ask, who are those who attacked us last night, does the master know?"
Master Shangshan looked at her with a smile, and said, "It seems that madam, you come here to play, but you haven't checked in advance what people and things are there."
Nan Yan smiled awkwardly again.
Shangshan said: "Those people are water bandits."
"Water Bandit?"
"Yes, the water bandits of Tiangang Lianhuanwu."
"Tiangang Lianhuanwu?"
Nan Yan frowned.
There are bandits in this place?
Master Shangshan said: "Actually, this Xingluo Lake was not off the beaten track in the past. On the contrary, this place is very prosperous because of its extensive waterways and an endless stream of merchants."
"..."
"It's just that later, due to some changes, this place gradually declined."
Nan Yan frowned: "What happened?"
Master Shang Shan glanced at her and said calmly: "Emperor Gao once was here after the founding of the country and fought a battle with his enemies."
Nan Yan gasped.
She remembered.
At the beginning, the Central Plains was occupied by the Kuo people, and many people started to resist. In addition to the Emperor Gao, there were several powerful forces.
Before, when dealing with the Kuo people, they were comrades in arms fighting side by side.
However, the Kuo people were expelled from the Central Plains, and they became contenders for the highest power.
In the end, of course, Emperor Gao defeated them.
Master Shang Shan said calmly: "The Emperor Gao defeated those people, but the battle did not end there."
"..."
"Although his enemies were defeated, those subordinates fled in all directions, hiding in thousands of islands on Xingluo Lake."
"..."
"These islands are numerous and the terrain is complex, making it difficult to investigate thoroughly."
"..."
"In addition, when Emperor Gao was founded, his national power was not strong, so he had no way of eradicating these people."
"..."
"Over time, these people created their own forces."
"..."
"That is, Tiangang Lianhuanwu."
This is the first time Nan Yan has heard of such a past.
She thought for a while, and said, "Speaking of which, these people control a lot of islands and are very powerful."
"Yes."
"Then, why are they afraid of you?"
