Chapter 71-Chapter 72
It is said that when Cui Hanzhang led the ghost tribes back to Xiaolianzhuang, it was already the second watch, and it was handed over to Song Datou to settle the Chidi people. This night non-stop running around, the tea did not hit the teeth, the rice did not enter, and when I got home, I didn't feel my stomach growling.
Huang Wanli was mortuary on the school grounds, Xu Qingfeng insisted on standing on crutches in the small courtyard and waiting for the return of the main general Cui Hanzhang, as the chief of the guard, he would never give up his post.
"Qingfeng went back to lie down and recuperate, this commander doesn't want to have a crippled guard chief." Cui Hanzhang's first sentence was to order Xu Qingfeng to lie down and recuperate.
"There are two masters in Xiaolian Village, they are practicing to treat Brother Xuan, and their subordinates dare not disturb after being transmitted into their ears, and they are relieved to see the commander return safely." Xu Qingfeng's eyes were full of guilt.
"The revenge of the brothers will be avenged tonight, and the rest will be handed over to the commander, and someone will take Xu Qingfeng down to recuperate." Cui Hanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said with a heavy face.
"Report, there is General Huo Yunlong, the Governor of the Water Division, asking to see him." At this time, a herald ran in to summon the message.
"Ask him to go to the living room on the first floor and wait for a while, and inform Cui Bo to arrange the meal." Cui Hanzhang walked across the trestle and boarded the pavilion as he spoke.
Cui Hanzhang climbed to the second floor and pushed the door in, and what caught his eye was that the master of the building and the great elder were working together to treat Brother Xuan'er, Brother Xuan'er sat cross-legged with his bare body, and one person used a golden needle in front of him to insert the nine major acupuncture points on his head, and kept dialing the golden needles on the four major acupoints of Baihui, Shenting, Qingming and Ermen with a snap of his fingers, and one person pinched the sword finger behind Brother Xuan's head, and used the true qi to help him get through the blood congestion in his brain, and after a quarter of an hour, the two exchanged positions, and then a quarter of an hour later, the Great Elder slapped a palm on Brother Xuan's lumbar Qi Hai Yu acupoint, and Lou Shi patted on Brother Xuan's umbilicus An inch and a half of Qi Hai acupointA moment later, green smoke rose above their heads.
Cui Hanzhang knew that he couldn't be disturbed at the moment, so he quietly took the door and exited.
Huo Yunlong, the governor of the water division, was sitting in the hall eating tea, Cui Bo served hot noodles, Cui Hanzhang did not avoid suspicion, and was in a hurry to sacrifice the five internal organs temple first, and simply chatted while eating.
"General Huo, time is in a hurry, coarse tea and light rice are for improvisation?"
"Yunlong has eaten, Commander Cui please take care of himself." Huo Yunlong was born in the army and didn't like to go around the bend, so he refused cleanly.
"Since General Huo came to Xiaolianzhuang to keep the appointment, he is a friend, and you must know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Xiaolianzhuang outside. Han Zhang also made it clear that he had to ask the old lady of your mansion to give him an idea about this matter, Cui had already mobilized 10,000 elite rangers to enter the city, and he would never fight an uncertain battle, the alliance was a matter of success or failure, if General Huo was willing to be introduced, Han Zhang would immediately follow you into the mansion to meet the old lady. After Cui Hanzhang said the idea of meeting the old lady of the Huo family in one breath, he buried his head in eating noodles, and the mutton noodles made by Cui Bo were authentic.
"Commander Cui can't trust the Pontus Governor?" When Huo Yunlong heard this, he immediately got up, and the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was angry.
"Can General Huo represent the Huo clan to form an alliance with my Xiaolianzhuang, and the rangers and the Longyuan River will die together against the Jin'an Xiao clan?" Although it was just a fluttering sentence, Huo Yunlong, who asked, was speechless, and he was indeed not strong enough in this matter related to the life and death of the whole clan.
"Invest in peach to repay Li, bandit to repay, always think it is good!"
"Hanzhang wants to be good for generations, but if there is a little bit of resoluteness, you and I will die without a place to be buried."
"Hanzhang said this, what does General Huo think?" Cui Hanzhang directly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, pushed the bowl aside, and looked at Huo Yunlong seriously and said.
Huo Yunlong wanted to take advantage of the situation for Long Yuanjiang, but it was really not as far-reaching as Cui Hanzhang, he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him again, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was forever good, and he gambled on the lives of thousands of people of the two clans.
"Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, and Commander Cui has the momentum of a landslide when he opens his mouth, and Huo is ashamed of himself." At this moment, Huo Yunlong, the Governor of the Water Division, really regarded the Divine Light Detective Hualang Ranger Commander in front of him as a person on an equal footing with himself, and he would be a hero in the wind and clouds.
"Leaving at this point?" Huo Yunlong was bold and magnificent, and he wanted to lead the way with a wave of his hand.
"Don't worry, don't worry, wait for Lingwu Hou." Cui Hanzhang picked up the garlic cloves on the table and peeled them off, and motioned for Huo Yunlong to pause.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Before the Lingwu Marquis arrived, the sound arrived first.
"I'm sorry to keep you two waiting? Yan Qiu's sins, all blame this greedy mouth, and my mother let Ben Hou drink a few more cups of small dishes. As he spoke, Bai Yanqiu patted his mouth with his hand, and when he came in, he saw Cui Hanzhang eating mutton noodles, and couldn't help but step forward and smell it.
"Next time, let Cui Bo leave me a bowl, just this authentic taste, I really miss the days of galloping and fighting guerrillas in the northwest border, taking a big sip of mutton and wine, and getting drunk to dispel my sorrows."
"As soon as you wait for Hou to come to my Xiaolian Village to finish rubbing mutton noodles, you are not afraid of being laughed at by General Huo Yunlong, do you want to mix in Chili Street when it is spread in the future?" Cui Hanzhang knew best that this product was not right, and after holding a big bowl and drinking the last bit of soup, he teased him.
"Uncle Huo is his own person, don't I laugh at his nephew Huo Guang."
What Bai Yanqiu said is not bad, Huo Yunlong, the Governor of the Water Division, is not his uncle, he is only four or five years older than Huo Guang, Chu Kang and Ru Jingxiu, and he also intersects with brothers on weekdays.
Huo Yunlong ignored the mutual irony of the friendship between the two young people, and anyone who was not blind could see that they had a deep friendship.
"Let's go, let's go directly to General Huo to meet Old Lady Huo, the Longyuan River Sailor is very important."
"Let's go, anyway, I didn't plan to get a cup of hot tea in your little lotus village." Bai Yanqiu didn't sit down, so he raised his feet and walked out of the door again.
However, it was said that the two great masters in the upstairs study joined forces to treat Brother Xuan'er, and Lou Yueshan's left palm slapped on the back of his right palm attached to the Qi Sea Acupoint, and then the dantian luck was really vigorous, and the nine golden needles on Brother Xuan'er's head were shaken away, and the great elder behind grabbed Brother Xuan'er's shoulder with one hand and spun it like a windmill.
"Great Elder, this time it was the old man who took advantage." After a moment of breathing, Lou Yueshan opened his eyes and spoke.
"Just make up for it on your precious apprentice." The Great Elder slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a white smoke rushed straight out of the house, dispersing into the heavens and the earth.
"Brother Lou's skills are brilliant and brilliant to the yang to the strong, but unfortunately the old man's cultivation method is not the road to yin to softness, otherwise the combination of yin and yang will be more significant."
"Don't be demanding in everything, if it weren't for fate, where would Brother Xuan go to find two great masters to heal him in this life? What's more, the Great Elder is still a well-known master on the Heavenly List. "Lou Yueshan is free and easy, planning things is in people, and success is in the sky, if life should not be extinguished, Brother Xuan should be able to get through this pass.
"According to the old man, this Brother Xuan'er has a peculiar appearance, his congenital destiny is not weak, and his fortune fluctuates so much in the future, he is definitely not a person who died early." The Great Elder is very skillful, and he knows the art of divination, so it is not a complete consolation to say this.
"By the auspicious words of the Great Elder, Xiaolian Village has you in charge of my heart, and Yue Shan will leave first." Lou Yueshan got up and pushed the door away.
The Great Elder breathed into meditation again, and between one breath and one breath, it fit the charm of heaven and earth, and the starry sky above Xiaolian Village seemed to dim a little.
Brother Xuan felt that he was in a dream, and he didn't know that he had leaped over tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains without knowing the end, but for a while the scorching sun was scorching, like a falling oven, and for a while the ice and snow were cold, freezing to the bone marrow, this kind of alternating cold and heat kept changing, which was very difficult. The arm resting on the edge of the bed trembled slightly, and the Great Elder naturally noticed his every move, knowing that this was the manifestation of an unstable soul and disordered qi, and the only thing left was to look at the creation of this Xuan Ge'er.
However, it was said that Cui Hanzhang and Bai Yanqiu were dressed in hooded hats, covered in them, and quietly traveled in Huo Yunlong's carriage, and the old man who drove the car was familiar with avoiding Qingchuan Street and only walked in remote alleys, and finally went around Taikang City and stopped in the ivory alley next door to Chili Street.
"This secret passage is good, I'll let Changsong dig two when I go back." Bai Yanqiu touched everywhere along the way, and from time to time he touched the tunnel wall with his hands.
"Your uncle probably didn't have time to tell you, how could there be fewer secret passages in the hereditary Lingwu Marquis Mansion, go back and hunt for treasures, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." Cui Hanzhang rubbed him on the shoulder and gave him an idea.
"Don't bother with it, don't worry about the hundred-year-old Hou Mansion, my family's rats know how many litters there are, and you have the ability to earn a hereditary Hou Mansion by yourself." Bai Yanqiu didn't suffer a loss, and directly replied to him.
The words of the two were like children arguing, which was simply outrageous to the listeners. Huo Yunlong, who was walking in front, really couldn't help it, so he looked back, he really doubted that these two were still not the young handsome people who were dominant before.
These two are good, they don't feel uncomfortably ashamed, but they are relaxed and natural, and they have the meaning of returning to the basics.
People get together with people, chat together, eat and drink is fate, if you can still talk about wow, nothing to sarcastic each other, this sentiment will go a long way, if it is a coincidence back to change lives, it is much more reliable than what to cut the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper.
Whether it is magnetic field induction, or fate, some people are destined to be able to come together, and some people are natural opponents, such as Lingwu Hou Bai Yanqiu, such as Xiao Jing of Jin'an Mansion.
Although he was born in a hairpin family, but the career stumbled, Huo Yunlong only realized some wonderful truths that can only be understood after the age of confusion, he looked back at the two young boys, and couldn't help but feel happy for his nephew Huo Guang, this child is usually silly and stupid, but he didn't expect that stupid people have stupid blessings.
But after all, he is a person who has been through the wind and frost for a long time, Taikang is changing, if he can say that anyone can survive the world in peace and have no worries about accidents, no one dares to say this, even Huo Yunlong himself does not dare to say what the future of the Huo family's sailor is.
The secret passage leads directly to the inner hall, and there are mechanisms attached to the bookshelves on the wall, and between the opening and closing are the two worlds. Huo Yunlong called the maidservant to serve tea, "The two of you have a short rest, the old lady has already rested, let Huo go and ask the old man to get up." ”
The two hugged their fists and thanked them, and then sat down to drink tea quietly, but Huo Yunlong went for half an hour, and Bai Yanqiu drank three bowls of tea, and he was a little anxious and couldn't sit still, but he was pressed by Cui Hanzhang with his eyes.
Can make people wait, explain that they can always talk, the most afraid is to enter the door, push the cup to change the lively and lively, in the end or a sentence and drink some tea to signal the guest, that is really boring.
"The old lady is old, and it's our juniors who come to disturb late at night." Cui Hanzhang took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Well, listening to this is a kind person, Xiao Cui Tanhua has this mentality and doesn't worry about not being able to do things." Old lady Huo was wearing a fox fur, and was helped by Huo Yunlong to move in with a dragon head cane, followed by two domestic servants carrying braziers.
Cui Hanzhang and Bai Yanqiu hurriedly got up and stepped forward to greet them.
"Sit, sit, don't be so restrained." Old Lady Huo motioned to the two of them not to get up.
"They are all good boys, if they don't encounter a difficult thing, who can pull down their faces and come to beg for someone in the middle of the night, old man, I am a person buried in the loess to my neck, there is nothing to brag about, fortunately, I have suffered enough losses."
"Xiaobai, how is your old lady? Our generation is still alive and counts on our fingers, no more than a slap. ”
Bai Yanqiu subconsciously slid down from the Taishi's chair at once, "Back to the old lady's words, grandma is in good health,
It's just that I didn't see things very clearly a few days ago, and there was always a ghost. ”
"Well, this age doesn't dare to expect to be deaf and clear." The old lady pursed her lips and smiled slightly when she heard Bai Yanqiu's words.
While talking, he slowly took out a purple gold bronze medal that looked like a hexagonal but irregular shape from his arms, and the old man took it out and rubbed it in his hand.
"I've heard everything from the old guys, you can take this brand."
For a while, the two of them didn't understand the situation, after all, they were too young, and if it was the old lady of the Bai family who was here, then they could understand what an important purple gold bronze medal this was, and the old lady Huo made a move.
Huo Yunlong looked at the two young people, you look at me, I look at your confused state, and thought that he was really a young offspring, so he explained to them:
"There are only three of these purple gold bronze medals in total, and they are smelted and poured by extraterritorial black iron and purple gold copper, which is the agreement between the Huo family and the Son of Heaven at the beginning of the establishment of the water division, one in the hands of the Huo family of the water master, one in the hands of the emperor of the imperial court, and one in the hands of the patriarch of the imperial family.
Huo Yunlong's words scared the two offspring a lot, they are really old and fine, and the old rivers and lakes will know if there is one or not.
"The younger generation has a lot of offenses, and I ask Uncle Huo Shi to forgive me." Bai Yanqiu's major affairs were not ambiguous, and there was no more cynicism at this time, so he quickly stood up again and bowed.
"Hanzhang and Huo Guang are both equals, and after Yan Qiu, I also called you Uncle Huo Shi, since the old lady saw the two of us in person, it is full of sincerity, please take back the token, it's too embarrassing for the little nephew." Cui Hanzhang knew that although Huo Yunlong's remarks were true, it might not be an element of angry words if he took it out like this to make a name statement.
"Just talk about things, this little bit of spirit of the old man has not been worn away, how can my old man close his eyes?" Old lady Huo knocked down the floor tiles with his cane, coughed, and said something a little heavy, so frightened that Huo Yunlong quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, which shows that the Huo family has a strict family education and a positive family style.
"The old lady's sincerity can be seen, so it is naturally trustworthy, and the token should be taken back by Uncle Huo Shi." The more this is the case, the more Cui Hanzhang dare not accept it, holding the lives of a family of people in his hands, it is really a hot potato.
Bai Yanqiu was unusually calm at this time, and walked over directly in two steps to pick up the token from the table and handed it to Cui Hanzhang's hand.
"The elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign.
You will put it away first, it can be regarded as a safekeeping, and I will be the guarantor of the Lingwu Marquis Mansion, and it will be returned after the matter is completed. ”
The alliance of the three families was made possible with a purple gold brass token, Cui Hanzhang held this token in his hand and felt a slight body temperature, and his heart suddenly brightened, his heart was bright, and everything could be done.
Cui Hanzhang is a kind person, although he accepted the token, but also left a thing, the eight knives jade cicada is as warm as jade, the old lady saw that the side paragraph was from the hand of Cui Jing, the Taikang seal carving, the old man saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and his slight chin was a recognition of this young descendant.
At the time of the third watch, there was silence, and the two of them felt the stagnation of the qi machine when they stepped into the Doumi Alley, and their hearts were like boulders pressing on the top, both of them were stubborn and stubborn step by step into the threshold, as if they were tested, one door separated by two heavens, and there was no pressure after entering, at this time Cui Hanzhang's ears sounded the voice of the great elder: "Your master has left, come to the west wing of the backyard to talk about it." ”
Cui Hanzhang knew at this time that the Great Elder intended to test the two of them just now, and he could deduce the person from the breath and footwork of the two of them, and the cultivation of the Great Elder was really terrifying.
"Let's go, follow me to see the Great Elder of the Ghost Fang Division, there is a Great Elder in Xiaolian Village as the town, and there are no worries." Cui Hanzhang patted Bai Yanqiu's shoulder and saw a layer of dense sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Oh? Just now I felt a sense of fear that oppressed my mind, could such a supreme master be used by us? Bai Yanqiu took out a sweat towel to wipe the dense sweat off his forehead, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.
"The Great Elder is concerned about the Ghost Fang people, although this person is unfathomable, but he is too involved, this time I invited Xiaolian Zhuang to sit in the rear, no suspicion is needed, no suspicion is used."
"Since someone assassinated the murderer in Xiaolian Village, let's just have a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, although it is inconvenient for the rangers to come forward directly due to official business, but we will also send someone to assassinate in the Mingjin Building, it is best to kill a few of their important people, and give Xiao Jing, the grandson, some color." Bai Yanqiu suddenly thought of this stubble.
"Although the assassination is carried out, it is a means of victory." Cui Hanzhang groaned slightly.
"The right person is right in front of you."
"You mean the Oni Fangbu?" Cui Hanzhang looked embarrassed, after all, it is already a big face to invite the elders to take charge, and it is also an exchange of interests, once a handle falls into his hands, I am afraid that he will be more passive in the future.
As a result, when the two of them met the Great Elder, Bai Yanqiu directly said the proposal just now, and he didn't think that the Great Elder agreed without thinking about it.
"This matter is the most suitable for Chi Di to do, he has been suppressed for a long time, and it is time to let him go out and prey."
"The Great Elder is not afraid that Chi Di will not return this time, after all, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the Mingjin Building, Cui has personally learned Xu Wenchang's boxing techniques, his body looks like a ghost, his fist is as heavy as a mountain, and he asks himself if he is not his opponent." Cui Hanzhang was still not at ease, so he couldn't help but confirm again.
"Chi Di's horizontal training has reached the bottleneck, and he is lacking a decent opponent to sharpen, and the old man of the sword who came to commit the assassin before has already understood it, and he has passed on the method of cracking it, if Chi Di is unfortunate enough to meet the top master, the old man will personally go to ask for someone, and he will never be implicated in Xiaolianzhuang." The Great Elder's words broke through the worries in everyone's hearts, and the matter had been thought through.
"Then Cui arranged for the sailors and rangers to fully cooperate with Chidi, and at that time, whether it was getting out of the Longyuan River or on the boat, or suppressing the cooperation with bows and crossbows and feather arrows." Hearing the Great Elder's plan, Cui Hanzhang did not shirk, no matter what the success or failure of this matter is, Chi Di, the bone protector of the Ghost Fang Department, is indeed the best candidate.
