The center of the White Lotus Holy City is the White Lotus Confession Hall. The layout of the confession hall is like a temple, but it is not like a temple, there is no Bodhisattva in it, only the white lotus painted on the surrounding walls.

This is the place where the believers of the Holy City recite scriptures and gather, and as long as Zhao Quan is free, he will also give lectures, teachings, medicine, and alms in the confession hall. Therefore, his residence was at the back door of the confessional hall.

Turn left out the back door, there is no plaque on the door of Zhao's house, Zhao Quan is not like several other holy envoys, and he is not interested in naming the residence, but this place is more like an ordinary second-entry courtyard in the Central Plains.

The Zhao Mansion Council Hall is simple and elegant. At this time, there were several holy envoys such as Guo Heng, Li Zixin, Wang Tingfu, and Zhang Lilin, as well as Zhao Yingfeng, the son of Zhao Quan, sitting in the conference hall.

Zhao Quan sat on the top and looked at Guo Heng with an unkind face, "Do you have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend?" "I've been counting him down for a while.

Guo Heng was not convinced, but he always kept his head down and kept silent.

Li Zixin smiled and played a round game: "Brother Zhao, when Lao Wang said that he wanted to tie up the princess, everyone had no opinion, and Xiao Guo also heard Brother Zhao mention that those Tartars wanted to negotiate peace with Daming, so he temporarily decided to do so." The eldest brother was in retreat at the time, so I didn't discuss it with the eldest brother, and we all thought that we didn't increase the expenses anyway, so it was okay. Even if there is no peace talk, it can kill the arrogance of those Tartars. In short, it doesn't hurt. ”

Zhao Quan listened to Li Zixin's round, and became even more angry, "Tie up the princess? At that time, I said that the dog emperor would die to save face. What now? Sure enough, I'd rather not have this daughter! ”

"I don't know if this princess is real or not, and she ran away, spending so much money in vain!" Zhang Lilin laughed dryly and looked at Wang Tingfu sitting beside him.

"I can't say that." Li Zixin turned to Zhang Lilin again and said with a smile: "At least, we know that what Brother Zhao said is right, it's a pity for the sect members in the palace." Turning to Zhao Quan again, "Brother Zhao, the younger brother is going to inform Luyang Sanxian that he can't let that lady mix in the future." ”

Zhao Quan sneered, "Do you know what that lady is from?" ”

Li Zixin thought about it and said carefully: "I heard that it seems to have something to do with the ministers of the court and the royal family, so she will find a way to tie up the princess." ”

"Tiangangmen! If this is the same as the previous dynasty, they are no worse than us, but this gate has always acted mysteriously, known as the Heavenly Repair Machine. From the Tang Dynasty onwards, the founding emperors all wanted to be assisted by this doorman. However, they were dedicated to cultivation and had no interest in the worldly things. Most of the people are hidden in the wilderness, and some are hidden in the city, and very few people will also be hidden in the court. Zhao Quan introduced loudly.

Li Zixin didn't seem to understand what Zhao Quan meant, and asked, "Then ask them to help next time?" ”

"They will count the fortune of the country and hope for the dragon's spirit, what do you say?" Zhao Quan rolled his eyes at Li Zixin and stopped talking about the matter. turned to Guo Heng and said: "Even if you want to kill a few Mongols to block the peace talks, I don't object to it, but why kill Hannaji?" Do you think a seventeen-year-old kid who hasn't gotten married yet will go to peace talks? Or, he has refuted your face several times, and you want to vent your personal anger?! He is the grandson of the king! As I said earlier, you can do whatever you want, but you can't touch the direct line of Altan Khan! ”

Guo Heng still bowed his head and remained silent, Zhang Lilin thought of something, and said lukewarmly: "Brother Guo gave all the money." The other party is Tiangangmen, can you still go and come back? ”

"I brought that person back, in the small courtyard on the top of the mountain." Zhao Quan looked at Zhang Lilin, "If he can really use it for me, this money is not wronged." He turned his head to Wang Tingpu, who also didn't say a word, and said, "Go and find out what's going on with that Luo Yunshi." ”

"Isn't that the southern merchant?" Li Zixin asked, and then explained with a smile: "My wife and brother seem to have brought it in before, delivering it or something." Hehe, it was a long time ago. ”

"A long time ago, do you remember?" Zhao Quan asked rhetorically.

Li Zixin blushed, "It's Neizi, I think his family's goods are good, and the rouge gouache is from Yangzhou." As long as he can say anything, he can bring it. ”

"Oh? Such a big skill? Bows and crossbows, iron, too? Zhao Quan had some intention of raising the bar.

"My brother-in-law also asked about this, and he said that he didn't bring anything that was forbidden." Li Zixin didn't seem to hear it, and replied honestly.

"Go and check it out, I've seen him several times, he can enter and leave the imperial tent freely, and he seems to have a good relationship with the Han. I don't want to have accidents. Zhao Quanzheng said to Wang Tingfu.

Wang Tingfu nodded, and finally spoke: "The junior brother will go and check." However, the eldest brother has always said that he wants to find strange people in the world, and I will bring one back these days. The details are all clear, it is the uncle of my original brother in the village, and his family was originally the supervisor of the former dynasty, which is regarded as a family history. But now it's a private astrology, so I've been persuading him to come to Bansheng, and recently because he made some mistakes, he came as soon as he persuaded him. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Quan didn't seem to be interested.

Wang Tingfu continued without expression or tone, "I asked him to wait in the confession hall." Did the eldest brother meet him? ”

"You've talked about it?" Zhao Quan asked again.

"Yes."

"That'll do." Zhao Quan said casually.

However, he said something that made the younger brother a little uneasy. It's best if the big brother can listen to it. Wang Tingfu said carefully.

"What did he say?" Zhao Quan still didn't mention interest.

"Yes, don't look at distant things, as far as recent things are concerned, there is a little chaos in the Holy City, let the eldest brother be careful."

Zhao Quan smiled and whispered, "It's so messy every day." He said to Wang Tingfu again: "This person, you can watch it, and talk to him more." Weave into you. Look at everyone and ask, "What else is going on?" Ah Heng? ”

Guo Heng shook his head silently.

Zhao Quan didn't want the atmosphere to be too low, and said with a smile: "That's it, let's eat together in the evening and have a good time." ”

Everyone dispersed, and Zhao Quan beckoned Zhao Yingfeng to go to the backyard.

"How's that going?" Zhao Quan asked.

Zhao Yingfeng shook his head, "It's still dead, and there still seems to be something wrong with the new batch of medicines." ”

Zhao Quan frowned, "How come?" Have you seen the hundred people I brought? ”

"Yes. Father, how can the medicine given to the Great Khan also go wrong? Tried it good last time. Zhao Yingfeng was puzzled.

"It's all according to your method, using women to pour out the remaining poison. If you think about the difference between last time and this time, the same way, why not this time? By the way, what about the guys who tried last time? ”

Zhao Yingfeng nodded, "So far, no problem." The outer skin is harder, and if an ordinary person takes an ordinary knife, he can only cut through the epidermis. I tried, they weren't sensitive to pain, and it didn't get in the way of a broken finger. ”

Zhao Quan heard this and laughed, "Hahaha, invulnerability." Such an army is afraid that big things will not happen! ”

"Father, this is true, but there are two problems. They were only fed water and no food, and although they did not feel much and did not have much problem moving, they could only last for ten days, especially after the injury. ”

"So, if you don't give you food, you still can't do it?" Zhao Quan shook his head, "Then give less, normal Yicheng?" ”

"Tried." Zhao Yingfeng said with some frustration: "After taking the medicine, I can't eat anything other than water." I've opened a person's stomach and the internal organs are no longer normal. ”

Zhao Quan lowered his head and thought for a long time, but finally shook his head, "You can only live for ten days, it's too short." ”

"At present, the drug is being changed." Zhao Yingfeng took out the medicine list from his arms and gave it to Zhao Quan, "These are not in the library, it is best to do it as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Quan looked at the medicine list and frowned, "Ganoderma lucidum?" Ginseng? ”

"Yingfeng thought about it, it shouldn't be expensive to get it from the Jurchens. That is, the Fushou gao that was shipped last time, can you let them not practice? I want raw materials. ”

Zhao Quan sighed slightly, "This thing is not lucky, from Chenzhou to here, almost through half of the Ming Dynasty." You only need raw materials, which are not only bulky, but also easy to break. He looked at the list in his hand again and nodded. I'll figure it out. ”

"Father, those people have one more problem. Their sanity is almost gone. ”

Zhao Quan stared at Zhao Yingfeng, "You mean, these people can't form a great array?" ”

"Father, you may have thought it simple before the wind. Employing people to form a formation, of course, can make the big array endless, but everyone in the formation needs to be proficient in the formation, and the big array is more proficient in defending. Zhao Yingfeng was a little unwilling.

"You mean, you can't make it?" Although this is a question, Zhao Quan didn't want Zhao Yingfeng to answer, "Yingfeng, for my father, do you want to be complicated?" We are not dealing with masters like your master, these people are our army, and they are ultimately used to fight. Therefore, this array must first be able to preserve our strength, after all, the cost of creating these medicine people is too high. You also have to consider this in the future, how to reduce costs, of course, after the successful drug trial. Secondly, our army can defeat the Ming army and the Tartar soldiers. Looking at Zhao Yingfeng, he said in a heartfelt voice: "Our problem now is that we have no armed forces, so we can only retreat in this holy city and seek the protection of Altan Khan. Moreover, it is impossible to rely on those congregations to fight, not only because of the number of people, but also because of the people themselves. So, how to change this formation, understood? ”

Zhao Yingfeng lowered his head, always listened carefully, and nodded, "Yingfeng is thinking about it." ”

Zhao Quan laughed, "It's not that you want to go wrong, it's that you're too refined." Alas, like your master, he drove himself to death. After laughing, he still sighed, "Now, it's still a human problem." By the way, the Tiangangmen person I brought back today is called Fu Qingshuang, saying that I have corpse qi and dragon qi on my body. ”

"Father." Zhao Yingfeng's expression was complicated, "The child thinks this kind of thing is ......." ”

"I know you don't believe it. However, there are many strange people in this world. Zhao Quan laughed, "Tiangang Gate is rumored to be Yuan Tiangang's doorman, who can know the affairs of the future generations, and he will come to the Holy City, indicating that in the future generations, there will still be my name Zhao Quan." Ha ha....... ”

Zhao Yingfeng was not so optimistic, "Father, the child feels that everything cannot be ...... by the magic stick. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Zhao Quan looked at his son's old appearance, he never seemed to think about the future, "That Tiangangmen man, you don't need to see him, my father will meet him, maybe he has some way to solve our current problems." ”

Zhao Yingfeng saw that Zhao Quan wanted to leave, and stopped him and said, "Father, Yingfeng will go with you." ”
