Chapter 10 A Foolproof Strategy
After hearing Lu Lao talk about the first part of King Lu's secret treasure, the second prince said: "This King Lu's henchman is really calculating. In this way, we can only find one-third of King Lu's Vault, and the other two parts are not easy to find? ”
Lu Lao nodded and said, "Yes, Maling Lake is dozens of miles in radius, even if the other two secret treasures are in the lake, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find." Fortunately, the geology around Maling Lake has not changed much in the past few decades, otherwise, even the first part of the secret would have been difficult for us to find. ”
The second prince asked, "So, Maling Lake is so big, where did the first part of the vault go?" ”
Lu Lao said: "According to Jiang Da's deathbed, this henchman of King Lu is a little bit of arithmetic, and when they threw the treasure into the lake, it was three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, on August 12. They set out from Mizhou in the middle of the night on 11 August and arrived at Maling Lake on 12 August. They prepared for a while, tied the treasure chest with the stones, covered them with nets, and threw them into the lake, and finally threw a lot of stones at the treasure site to hold down the treasure below. At that time, the sun rises and projects the peaks on the eastern side of Maling Lake into the lake. The location of the treasure is in the shadow of the highest mountain peak in the lake. ”
The second son said: "Sure enough, it's not simple, the projection of the mountain in the lake is constantly changing with the sun, and it changes every day. Then it was about 10 a.m. when they cast their treasures. The old man in black nodded and said, "Yes, it's the right time." ”
The second prince thought for a while and said: "Although we are secretly conducting this treasure hunt, we may not be able to hide from that person by mobilizing hundreds of people at a time. That person's power is on par with his father, and he is in charge of important positions in the army, although that person is now in Bianliang (Kaifeng), but he also controls a large number of imperial city divisions, supervising hundreds of officials in various places, in case the news leaks, it will not be good. Therefore, we must fight quickly, and after finding the treasure, we must set off immediately, and we cannot go overland. ”
Lu Lao said: "That's right. On this trip, we first went to Haizhou and arranged for the merchant ships there to go to Rizhao Town (now Rizhao City, Shandong) in the south of Juxian County. After we found the treasure, we immediately transported it to Rizhao Town, and then transported it to Jingshi by sea ship. ”
The second son thought for a while and said, "Old Lu has a very good arrangement. However, I still have a plan to make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”
Lu Laoxi said: "Second son, please speak." ”
The second prince smiled slightly and said, "In Maling Lake, we can make preparations with both hands. After the treasure was revealed, seventy people were divided to transport the fake treasure by land, and the real one was transported to the sea ship in Rizhao Town. After the sea ship arrived at Haimen (now Haimen, Jiangsu), there were enough people, and we could even prepare it in three hands, two false and one true, then we would be sure that it would be safe. ”
Lu Lao said: "The second son is really wise, although it takes a little manpower, it is indeed a foolproof strategy." So we will go to Haizhou first, and then we will arrange to act. ”
The second prince nodded, waved his whip, and jumped out of the horse quickly. Lu Lao hurriedly followed with the two family members.
After the second son and Lu Lao arranged everything in Haizhou, they began to rush to Mizhou. At this time, Song Zheng was looking at the dumbbell in his hand with satisfaction, full of ambition. After more than 20 days of exercise, Song Zheng has gained a lot. First of all, my body has become stronger, not only has I fully recovered my health, but my face is also more ruddy than before, and my height has grown a little.
On Old Man Gao's side, Song Zheng not only learned the Five Birds Opera Teaching, but also read some medical books, including "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Qianjin Fang" or something, Song Zheng was naturally happy. Nominally, Song Zheng used to teach Qi'er to read and write, but where did Qi'er use him to teach. On the other hand, there were many things in the medical book that Song Zheng didn't understand, and Qi'er explained them to him. Although reading ancient texts is not a difficult task for Song Zheng, after all, this is a professional book, so it is natural for professionals to explain it. Qi'er spoke very little, and her voice was hoarse, as if she had a bad voice. At first, Song Zheng thought he had a cold, but later Old Man Gao explained that he had been like this since he was a child, and Song Zheng didn't care. Song Zheng also wanted to tell a joke, play a treasure, and tease Qi'er, but every time, Qi'er looked at him expressionlessly. If it was two or three times, Song Zheng lost his interest, so he had to learn boxing and read books with peace of mind.
During this time, Song Zheng was also preparing. He asked Xiaoping to bring some fine sand, wash it with water, and dry it in the sun. And according to the style of the sand leggings and sandbags in the previous life, the cloth was cut. Considering that he would grow his body in the future, Song Zheng asked Xiaoping to sew a sand leggings first, matching the thickness of his calf, and sewing three different sizes to ensure that after the body grows, there are also sand leggings.
As for the sandbags, Song Zheng also prepared three, and now that he is thin, he will hit the sandbags, and the sandbags will definitely not be damaged in autumn. But as the body grows and the punch becomes heavier, the sandbag will definitely not be able to withstand the long-term blows, so it is natural to be prepared for a few more.
In addition to sandbags and sand leggings, Song Zheng also found Song Xiang and said that he would prepare a few stone locks. Old Man Song naturally gave his full support. Song Yu quickly found the Zheng stonemason in the village, and five stone locks of different sizes were ready. Not only that, but Song Zheng also made a few weird-looking things. One of them is a stone the size of a sea bowl with a round hole in the middle. Then a one-foot-long, two-inch diameter jujube stick was threaded into it, and a stone was also hung on the other end of the stick, and finally the two ends were fixed with wooden tenons. Song Zheng used copper coins and thin wooden branches to make an appearance, and after a long time of comparison, Song Yu understood. When he asked Song Zheng what this thing was, of course Song Zheng couldn't tell him that this was a dumbbell commonly used in later generations, but he just said that he didn't know, it was Dr. Gao's idea. Song Xiang seemed to suddenly realize, and said: "It turned out that he made it, he hasn't seen anything in that place, no wonder it looks weird." Song Zheng asked casually, "Where?" Song Xiang didn't say anything more, but just asked if there was anything else.
Song Zheng didn't care, and next, he said what the horizontal bars and parallel bars looked like. This is simple, and Song Yu quickly understood. There is a man named Erhei in the long worker, who can do carpenter work, and a few simple thick wooden sticks were quickly made and placed in the west courtyard according to Song Zheng's requirements. Although villagers often came in the east courtyard where Old Man Song lived, the west courtyard was much quieter, and almost no outsiders came, which made Song Zheng feel a lot more at ease. Cover all these things with straw mats, and it will be seamless.
Regarding the contradiction between the Song family and the Qian family, Song Zheng also learned about it from the side. It turned out that Qian Youcai and Old Man Song had a bad relationship since childhood, and when they grew up, Qian Youcai was particularly arrogant and regarded as a tyrant in the village. After Song Xiang came back from being a soldier, he had martial arts in his body, and he beat Qian Youcai so hard that he almost didn't kill anyone. Since then, Qian Youcai has collected a lot, although he hates Song Xiang to the core, but with the lesson of being beaten this time, he walked around when he saw Song Xiang. Later, the Song family produced a Jinshi Song Jue, who was more secure with money and wealth, although he was still mean, he only had to live with his tail between his legs.
In recent years, none of the second generation of the Song family has been completed. Song Zheng is the only one in the third generation, but he is a nerd. Since there was no successor, Old Man Song couldn't raise his head a little. Money and wealth dragged up again. Qian Youcai has two sons, and a year ago, the second child became a government official in the Yingxian government, although he was the worst temporary civil servant, but he had a very great deterrent effect in a small place like Songjiazhuang. As a result, Qian Youcai became even worse, although he didn't dare to shout at Old Man Song, he was terrible to others, and nearly half of the land in Songjiazhuang was bought by him.
When it comes to money and wealth, Song Zheng doesn't have the energy to take care of it, and it's serious to train this little body first. Early in the morning, after Song Zheng got up, he went straight to Xishan with the morning dew. The purpose is to increase the amount of exercise, and the second is to find a flat land in the mountain so that you can do the established activities such as tai chi. It's good to practice boxing at home, but it's as quiet as being on the mountain. Besides, Song Zheng has a little chivalrous complex, in the movies and television he watched in his previous life, those martial arts masters practiced boxing on mountains and rocks or in dense forests, either splitting mountains and cracking rocks, flying stones, or breaking trees and flying leaves, although they are all nonsense, but if you can exercise alone in the quiet mountains and rocks jungle, your mood is different, and the effect is definitely much better than at home.
Song Zheng came to the foot of the West Mountain and met Song Yu again. During this period of running, Song Zheng ran into him many times. Since Song Yu is the one who is more feminine in the "good brothers", Song Zheng is not worried about his chrysanthemum. Every time he saw Song Yu, he called "Third Uncle" in a regular manner. Song Yu's face to Song Zheng is getting better and better, from ignoring it at the beginning to nodding slightly. This time, after hearing Song Zheng call him "Third Uncle", Song Yu also smiled at Song Zheng. Frightened, Song Zheng instinctively touched his buttocks, and then thought that the other party was a "woman among men", so he laughed back.
Because the people of Songjiazhuang cut firewood and hunted, there were several chaotic paths between the woods at the bottom of the mountain. Further up, through the pine locust forest, there was no road except for the mountain road that led to Maling Lake, except for a few shrubs and tiny pine trees, and some thatch, dandelions, and other unknown weeds. Song Zheng searched along the mountainside for half an hour before he saw a large piece of relatively flat place in the north, near the highest peak of the West Mountain. The place was a large rock, about thirty or forty square meters, leaning against a cliff on one side and protruding from a gentle hillside on the other. However, because there are several pine trees on the hillside, connected to the dense forest below, and the canopy of the trees is higher than the boulder, the boulder cannot be seen at the foot of the mountain, but from the boulder, you can see Songjiazhuang in the southeast.
The boulder is generally smooth, but due to weathering, there are some potholes, however, it is easy to fill in with earth and rock. To put it into perspective, this is a very ideal place to practice.
