Chapter Ninety-Eight: First Encounter with Ronglu

After discussing the matter, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao went to prepare their luggage and returned to GD Tan Sitong went to find Zhu Huanyu on the street. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The best cloth village in the capital is Ruifuxiang, the princes and princes, high-ranking officials, but anyone who wants to buy new clothes, they all go there. Tan Sitong took Zhu Huanyu to Liubiju to buy some pickles, went to Daoxiang Village to buy some pastries, and went straight to Ruifuxiang.

When I came to Ruifuxiang, I was greeted by a clerk. The front counter is decorated with cotton and satin of various colors from Gangnam. The clerk saw that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily, and led them directly to the counter at the back.

Pointing to the colorful fabrics, the clerk introduced that these are foreign fabrics, the price is lower than the local fabrics, but the styles and styles are much more beautiful, and they are soft and smooth, and the clothes made are more comfortable to wear.

Zhu Huanyu only thought about making a warm robe for Tan Sitong, and asked the clerk if there was any fur. The clerk invited the two of them upstairs, and said that the good leather goods were all on it. There are fine otters, raccoon dogs, sables, as well as gray squirrels, yellow wolf skins, etc.

came up to the second floor, and sure enough, it was full of all kinds of leather goods, and Zhu Huanyu carefully helped Tan Sitong choose the leather materials to make the robe. Tan Sitong was absent-minded, thinking about the clerk's words just now.

I just looked at the foreign cloth and the homespun cloth, and the local cloth is indeed very different from the foreign cloth in terms of quality and color. However, foreign cloth is cheaper than local cloth. If this continues, how can the local handmade textile industry survive? Westerners not only invade us from the political and territorial areas, but also plunder the economy from the flood beasts.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the foundation of people's livelihood. In reform, we must start with the actual problems of the common people. The development of national industry is a top priority! The Westernization movement must not be stagnant, and it must not only build ships, cannons, and guns, but also set up flour mills, iron factories, velvet mills, and other industries closely related to the people's livelihood. HB's weaving layout looks like it's going to work right away.

I was wandering when I heard an argument. It turned out that Zhu Huanyu fell in love with a good silver mink fur that had been made, but the clerk said that it was ordered by someone, and it could not be sold with additional money. I saw that the leather was white and flawless, and the fur was fine and soft, and it was really the best in the mink.

The white silver marten is rare in the world, and can only be encountered in the mountains outside. And the mink is spiritual, and it is extremely difficult to catch. It is said that hunters are to strip naked and lie down in the snow to lure the ferret to the bait, and the marten is kind enough to cover himself to save people so that the hunter can catch it.

But many hunters can't wait for the ferret to save their lives, and they have frozen to death in the ice and snow, so people say that ten minks have ten lives. It takes dozens of minks to sew a ready-to-wear garment, and it is even more difficult to find dozens of silver mink. It can be seen how precious this mink fur is. It's no wonder that Zhu Huanyu fell in love at first sight and couldn't put it down.

The gentleman does not take the favor of others, Tan Sitong signaled Zhu Huanyu not to compete with the clerk, just choose something else.

"Mink Qiu can only be enjoyed by princes, but Tan Gongzi still knows how to measure and dare not trespass!" An arrogant voice came.

Tan Sitong looked back, and the haunting Gou Fengtao came.

In the Qinling Mountains, he stayed for three days, but he did not catch a single Hongmen disciple. Later, I mustered up the courage to go down to the bottom of the sinkhole, only to find that Hongmen had already slipped away. He had no choice but to quietly return to the capital without finding anything.

After fighting with Tan Sitong a few times, he didn't take advantage of it, and he hated this junior in the back mountain so much in his heart: "The alliance leader is not staying in the HB Yamen, what kind of moth do you want to do in the capital!" ”

"I'm willing to spend money on what I want, and it seems that it is not Mr. Gou's turn to ask wherever I want! But don't walk around, Hongmen will carry out three swords and six holes against traitors who betray the Lord and seek glory! Tan Sitong returned without pretense.

"The rebels of the Hongmen are all thieves who are hunted down by the imperial court with all their might, and everyone will be punished, but I advise Tan Gongzi not to get too close to them, I am afraid that he will get into trouble." Gou Fengtao sneered.

He was tough in his mouth, but he knew that Tan Sitong had a deep friendship with Hongmen, and he was afraid that Hongmen's disciples were nearby. I didn't dare to entangle at the moment, and strode forward to ask the clerk to get the silver mink robe and leave.

It turned out that the fur was ordered by this guy. Zhu Huanyu on the side had already recognized that Gou Fengtao was the thief who surrounded and suppressed everyone in Shilipo that day, and when he saw that he was going to snatch the fur he had chosen for his sweetheart, he was even more angry. At this time, Gou Fengtao had already walked to his side, and Zhu Huanyu did not hesitate, drawing his sword and stabbing it.

Gou Fengtao was selected by Chen Jinnan as the candidate to assassinate the emperor that day, and his martial arts were naturally already at the level of a grandmaster. Although Zhu Huanyu attacked suddenly, he was still calm and composed, and he dodged the sword sideways, but his left hand was like the wind and buckled towards Zhu Huanyu's wrist holding the sword.

Tan Sitong was afraid that Zhu Huanyu would make a mistake, so he hurriedly slapped out: "What are you fighting with a woman, I'll try your ******** catties."

The palm wind was fierce, Gou Fengtao didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly closed his momentum and didn't entangle with Zhu Huanyu, and retreated two steps to avoid Tan Sitong's palm power.

Tan Sitong motioned to Zhu Huanyu to watch the battle on the side, and a hungry tiger hit Gou Fengtao with his heart.

This person is a traitor to Hongmen, and he is determined to use Hongquan to teach this Hongmen scum a lesson.

Gou Fengtao was born in Hongmen, and his martial arts foundation is Hongmen's, so he is naturally familiar with Hongquan's moves. He buckled sideways, and came to grab Tan Sitong's wrist vein.

Tan Sitong has already won the essence of Hongmen, but it is not Zhu Huanyu's skills, he does not avoid it, and when Gou Fengtao buckles himself, he stretches out his fist and turns his fist into a claw, and his arm twists to break free of Gou Fengtao's five fingers, but his backhand comes to buckle his wrist.

If ordinary people are caught by Gou Fengtao, their arms will immediately become numb and lose their strength, where can they still have the strength to break free. As soon as Gou Fengtao detained Tan Sitong, he was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that Tan Sitong was normal with martial arts Sheila.

Unexpectedly, he grabbed Tan Sitong's wrist, but it was like a red-hot soldering iron, and his fingers not only couldn't grasp his wrist, but there was a scorching internal force that came back. There was no time to panic, Tan Sitong had already buckled himself, and Gou Fengtao didn't expect the opponent's martial arts to suddenly be so sophisticated, and he was in a hurry for a while. He didn't dare to let Tan Sitong clasp his arm, his arm retreated, and he flew up and kicked Tan Sitong in the lower abdomen, Tan Sitong had to withdraw his elbow to block the kick, so Gou Fengtao resolved the danger.

was forced to be clumsy with one move, and Gou Fengtao was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat.

He is a person who knows the goods, and just now he wanted to buckle the other party's wrist, but he was eaten by the scorching force, so he guessed that Tan Sitong had already practiced the Flame Layer Hongmen Heart Method. The first time he fought in Juyi Building that year, this kid's martial arts were still ordinary, why did he improve by leaps and bounds in a few years?

Chen Jinnan's methods Gou Fengtao knows it well, could it be that this Tan Si has practiced to Chen Jinnan's level at a young age? No way! Any effort in the world needs to be gradual, and in just a few years, this kid can't reach the sky in one step. But if time passes, his cultivation will definitely not be under Chen Jinnan. Then I really won't be able to win against him!

Gou Fengtao had a few thoughts in his heart, and suddenly became murderous. A Chen Jinnan will let himself be a fearful person, and he can't let this kid become a big trouble in the future.

Gou Fengtao pulled out the sword in his waist, and he was about to kill the killer.

Gou Fengtao is also a martial arts wizard. When he was a teenager, he studied under a master outside the world and learned a lot of skills, and later followed Chen Jinnan and learned a lot of Hongmen martial arts. After years of immersion in martial arts, his cultivation is actually one of the few opponents in the world. Just now, I almost made a move because I despised my opponent. Now he was determined to get rid of Tan Sitong, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off anymore and used all his skills.

I saw a sword piercing through the wind, and there were sword shadows in all directions, and it was difficult to distinguish between virtual and real.

"With Zhanlu!" Zhu Huanyu shouted urgently.

With a bang, Zhan Lu came out of the sheath. Tan Sitong knew that Zhu Huanyu was clever and clever, so he pulled out the Zhanlu sword sent by Guangxu according to his words.

'Ding Ding Dong Dong', in the blink of an eye, the two swords have been fighting for more than ten rounds. Hearing the fight, the footsteps downstairs were chaotic, and Gou Fengtao's entourage rushed up one after another.

"Manager Gou, you anti-minister thief, you are really daring, and you dare to block the sword given by the emperor!" Zhu Huanyu was surrounded by a group of internal guards, but her face did not change, and she reprimanded Gou Fengtao sharply.

This Zhan Lu used to hang in the upper study of Guangxu's office, and Gou Fengtao, as the chief manager, often walked in the palace, how could he not recognize this sword.

It's just that the rabbit fell just now, and his life was in the millimeter, where did he have time to see what kind of sword Tan Sitong used! Now that Zhu Huanyu has drunk it, Gou Fengtao looked at the sword in Tan Sitong's hand and already knew that this was true.

He betrayed his friends to seek glory, that is, the greedy royal wealth, fame and fortune. Although he is with the Queen Mother, if he wants to be disrespectful to the current emperor, he will never dare. I saw him take an arrow step and jumped out of the circle: "Where did you come from?" The voice was already terrified.

When the group of guards under him saw the Imperial Sword, they didn't dare to act rashly, but they surrounded Tan Zhu and the others.

"This sword was naturally given by the emperor, and he wanted Brother Tan to behead the ministers, the corrupt officials, and the chief Gou, what kind of category are you?" Zhu Huanyu calmly replied.

Gou Fengtao stopped, and Tan Sitong also put away his sword and stopped pursuing. He didn't want to use a sword to suppress people, but today Gou Fengtao has a murderous intention, and he still has a group of subordinates, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get out if he doesn't kill people. But if he killed the Ouchi guards in the capital, it was obviously not a wise move, so he let Zhu Huanyu mess around.

"Hmph, the queen mother still has the final say in this court, Tan Si and what new deal you want to do with the emperor, the queen mother already knows it clearly. I'm afraid that without the Queen Mother's nod, you won't be able to move an inch! I advise you not to be overpowered, but to do your best. Gou Fengtao said hatefully.

He inserted his sword back into the sheath, although he said cruel words, after all, he was still afraid of the emperor's majesty, and he no longer dared to kill Tan Sitong. But if you shake your hands and leave, you can't get off the stage, you freeze there, and you don't know whether to leave or stay for a while.

Ruifuxiang originally had a lot of guests, and this fight attracted a lot of idlers who watched the excitement. I saw that the store was already full of people outside the store. At this time, one person, Shi Shiran, separated everyone and walked upstairs, and he arched his hand to greet Gou Fengtao: "Why is Manager Gou here?" ”

"Lord Rong, I'll get a leather jacket." Gou Fengtao returned the salute.

"This is the world-famous Tan Gongzi." The man saluted Tan Sitong again.

"Under Tan Sitong."

"My name is Rong Lu, I have heard the name of the son for a long time, and when I saw it today, the son is full of grace, and he is really the dragon and phoenix among the people." The man had a white face and a long beard, and he was courteous. Wearing a python robe, it is obviously a noble status. But he did not have the arrogance of a prince and nobleman at all.
