Chapter 69 [Zhu Yuan Zhizhang]
The oblique moon hangs in the western sky.
Tang Lang carried Guo Guangqing, who was seriously injured, on his back, performed the Shaolin Peerless Meteor Step, jumped over the ridge, and soon got rid of the pursuers of Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion.
He returned to the small courtyard where Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai were.
Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai were waiting anxiously in the small courtyard, and they were suddenly overjoyed to see Tang Lang carrying a man with a cloak on his back and descending from the sky.
Tang Lang took off Guo Guangqing, who was already dying, from his back and held his hands in his arms.
At this time, Guo Guangqing seemed to have passed out, and there was no movement.
Zhu Chongba brushed away the messy hair covering Guo Guangqing's head and face, looked at it carefully under the moonlight, and said, "That's right, it's my uncle." β
Hu Dahai said beside him: "Brother Tang, now hurry up and carry Uncle to the bed in the house!" β
Tang Lang took Guo Guangqing in his arms and ran into the room a few steps, and placed him smoothly on a couch in the middle.
Zhu Chongba had already brought a basin of warm water, gently untied Guo Guangqing's clothes, and carefully wiped the wound.
And Hu Dahai was beside him, combing Guo Guangqing's hair and re-bunching it up.
When he turned over Guo Guangqing's body, Zhu Chongba saw a black five-finger palm print on his uncle's back by the light of the dim oil lamp.
"Brother Tang," Zhu Chongba exclaimed in surprise and said, "My uncle seems to have been hit by a black sand palm!" β
Hu Dahai probed over, looked at it, and said, "This must have been beaten by the man named Black Hand under Yang Yixuan." β
Tang Lang looked at the black palm on Guo Guangqing's back and said, "This is not a black sand palm, but a black wind palm." This is exactly the skill of the black hand, which seems to have been cultivated over many years with highly poisonous things. β
"So, isn't my uncle poisoned by the Black Wind Palm?"
Zhu Chongba's eyes widened in surprise.
Tang Lang checked the palm print of the black wind palm on Guo Guangqing's back and said, "Don't worry, Uncle is fine." This black wind palm, the black hand only used less than one success, he obviously didn't want to put his uncle to death, he wanted to stay alive. Therefore, although Uncle was hit by the black wind palm of the black hand, the yin poison did not disperse into his limbs, bones, and internal organs, but only condensed in a small piece of flesh and blood on his back. β
When Zhu Chongba heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "In that case, my uncle is still saved." β
Tang Lang said in an affirmative tone, "Exactly." β
As early as in the movie world of "Shaolin Temple", he had already watched "Shennong's Materia Medica" and "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" at Wang Chengyan's home, and learned acupuncture and acupuncture from Master Tanzong of Shaolin Temple, as well as Shaolin Jie Acupuncture, and he also has a good understanding of medicine.
Therefore, after Tang Lang checked Guo Guangqing's injuries, he had already determined that he was fine.
Hu Dahai suddenly asked: "Brother Tang also knows how to heal." β
"I understand a little."
The medical Tao is broad and profound, and Tang Lang didn't dare to boast too much, but just used the word "slightly understood" to deal with Hu Dahai's question.
Zhu Chongba asked: "Then Brother Tang must be able to treat my uncle's palm injury?" β
Tang Lang said: "Brother Chongba, rest assured, this black wind palm made by the black hand did not use all his strength, and I am confident that I can heal my uncle's palm injury." β
Zhu Chongba was overjoyed and said, "Great! β
"Is there a golden needle wormwood here?" Tang Lang asked.
Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"To treat my uncle's palm wound, do I have to use gold needle wormwood?" Zhu Chongba asked.
Tang Lang said: "The golden needle leaks poisonous blood, and the wormwood moxibustion rheumatism. - Since there is no golden needle wormwood, give me a dagger. I used a dagger to cut open the blackened muscles of my uncle's middle palm, and then, using my mouth to suck out the black poisonous blood condensed inside, and then applying gold sore medicine, it can also be cured. β
Zhu Chongba handed Tang Lang a dagger and said, "Let me suck out the poisonous blood for my uncle." β
Tang Lang nodded as he took the dagger from his hand.
And Hu Dahai had already brought a small porcelain bottle of gold sore medicine.
Tang Lang held the dagger in his hand and slashed open the muscle on Guo Guangqing's back that had been hit by the black wind palm, and the sticky black blood flowed out immediately after.
The black blood flowed for a while, and then it ceased to flow.
And the palm print on Guo Guangqing's back is slightly lighter in black.
So, Zhu Chongba continued to suck out the black blood in the palm print with his mouth, and did not stop until the blood-red color reappeared on Guo Guangqing's back.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Dahai washed the wound with warm water.
Tang Lang applied the gold sore medicine in the porcelain bottle to Guo Guangqing's wound and wrapped a circle of white cloth around it.
After everything was in order, Guo Guangqing was put back on the bed.
Tang Lang took a closer look at Guo Guangqing's appearance, and saw that he was in his forties, with a pale complexion and a fluffy beard, and he was indeed the appearance of a high-roller in the rivers and lakes.
After working for most of the day, it was already dark.
A few people didn't sleep all night, but they were still in good spirits.
Only then did Tang Lang tell Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai about the words he heard in Daru Huachi Mansion in Xiangyang last night.
"Uncle transported eighteen boats of private salt this time, did he be intercepted by the troops sent by Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion as soon as he arrived at the border of Xiangyang?" Tang Lang asked.
Zhu Chongba said: "Exactly." This is the first time I have followed my uncle to sell illicit salt, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in Xiangyang, the people and ships were lost, and I escaped by jumping into the sea with the sea. β
Hu Dahai also said: "At that time, the situation was critical, and I couldn't take care of it anymore, so I fled for my life first, preparing for Xu Tu's revenge." β
Tang Lang said: "Do you know why Uncle was intercepted by the troops sent by Daru Huachifu as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang? But it turned out that these were all ghosts made by the beggar gang elder Chen Youliang! β
"Beggar Gang Elder Chen Youliang?"
Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai looked at each other, they didn't know any beggar gang elder Chen Youliang at all.
Hu Dahai said: "For so many years, I have followed my uncle and know him well. Although Uncle is all over the country, he still takes care of his friends on the rivers and lakes. There are also many friends from all major sects. Even if it is Shi Huolong, the leader of the beggar gang, Uncle still knows him. ββWhen did the Beggar Gang emerge with an elder named Chen Youliang? β
Tang Lang said: "Come to think of it, this Chen Youliang has just been promoted. β
Zhu Chongba asked: "How does Brother Tang know that it is Chen Youliang's ghost." β
Tang Lang said: "When I went to Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion to save people, I happened to meet this Xiangyang son Yang Yixuan in a small pavilion to entertain Qin Guosan, the leader of the Ao Gang. During the feast, they talked about it, and I happened to hear it with one ear. β
"As far as I know, my uncle and the elder of the beggar gang Chen Youliang have no grievances, why did he tell his uncle's whereabouts to Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion?"
Zhu Chongba was puzzled by this.
Tang Lang said: "Somehow, this Chen Youliang subdued Qin Guosan and brought his Ao Gang under the command of the Beggar Gang. I think it is probably because Chen Youliang is ambitious and wants to rely on the beggars to take advantage of the chaos and compete in the world. Therefore, he arranged in advance, using Qin Guosan and the fourteen murderers under him as chess pieces and placing them under the command of Yang Yixuan of Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion. β
Zhu Chongba realized something and said: "So, in order to let Qin Guosan quickly gain Yang Yixuan's trust, Chen Youliang instructed Qin Guosan to secretly inform Yang Yixuan about my uncle's sale of illicit salt in Xiangyang. β
"You're right." Tang Lang nodded, he knew that Zhu Chongba also had some city government, and then said: "The beggar gang has tens of millions of people, and among the major sects in the rivers and lakes, they have always been known for being well-informed. Uncle's whereabouts must have fallen into the eyes of the beggars, and was finally learned by Chen Youliang. So, Chen Youliang resorted to this trick. β
Zhu Chongba groaned and said: "Fang is in a big mess today, Yuande is weak, this Chen Youliang is so arranged, naturally he wants to get a piece of the pie in the troubled times, and he wants to be the king and hegemon." However, he used my uncle as a bargaining chip and framed him. Is it tolerable or unbearable! β
He came from a poor background, and in order to feed himself, he even became a monk, and later even begged everywhere. In the midst of danger, it was Guo Guangqing who rescued him and let him join the Ming Sect.
Therefore, Zhu Chongba is very grateful to his uncle Guo Guangqing.
Hu Dahai scolded angrily: "Chen Youliang this guy, if he is caught by me Hu Dahai, I will cut him with a thousand knives, crush his bones and scatter ashes, and relieve the resentment in my heart!" β
Zhu Chongba glanced back at Guo Guangqing, and said silently: "Chen Youliang has hurt my uncle so badly, and caused hundreds of our brothers to be imprisoned, this revenge will not be avenged, I, Zhu Chongba, swear not to be a man!" β
-- At this point, Zhu Chongba and Chen Youliang have a grudge. Later, in the process of overthrowing Meng Yuan, a big war broke out between the two of them, which was also caused by this incident. This deed is recorded in detail in the book "Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang Record" written by the Qing Dynasty man "Maybach". Of course, that's another story.
Seeing that Zhu Chongba was full of hatred for Chen Youliang, Tang Lang also said: "Not bad. This Chen Youliang is really a little insidious and vicious. Although he also wanted to act at an opportune time, overthrow Meng Yuan, and achieve a great cause. However, his betrayal of the Han Chinese to the Mongols is really a bit despicable. β
Zhu Chongba nodded, thought about it, and said: "Emperor Mengyuan is stupid and incompetent, although the empire has a wide territory, it has a faint tendency to collapse!" Chen Youliang, the elder of the beggar gang, would have thought of going undercover in Xiangyang Dalu Huachifu in advance, and the plan was so far-reaching, this person would inevitably become a hegemon in the future! β
"Eighth brother, don't you want to become a hegemon in the future?" Tang Lang asked in time.
Zhu Chongba said: "How can Chongba be virtuous, how can he dare to invite the reward of heaven and become a hegemon?" β
Hu Dahai said in a rough voice: "Eighth brother, the emperor will take turns to come to my house next year, who dares to say that you Zhu Chongba will not be able to sit on the throne of Jinluan for the rest of your life." β
Tang Lang observed the words and looks, and saw a fine light flashing in Zhu Chongba's eyes, knowing that he was moving, so he took the opportunity to speak: "Eighth brother Chong, what kind of prince will Xiangning?" This is a truth that even the mountain people know. At present, the power of the Mengyuan country is declining, the officials are tyrannical, and they oppress the Han people, and the hearts of the people have long been filled with anger. If you take the opportunity at this time, you will definitely respond! The throne of Jinluan, the heavy weapon of Jiuding, may be a fight, and it is not known. β
Zhu Chongba sighed silently and said, "Although Chongba has the heart to slaughter Meng Yuan, he has more than enough heart and not enough strength......
Tang Lang took the opportunity to say: "Since Brother Chong has this heart, why not change his name?" - Zhang, a kind of sharp soldier talisman ancient jade. And your surname is Zhu, I think it's called 'Zhu Yuanzhang'. This name is a metaphor for the meaning of 'Zhuyuan Zhizhang', and it is powerful and domineering, catchy, and it is really useful. β
