Chapter 085: Attending the Meeting
After Sun Yueling returned to the Caring Hall with Li Liemei, Li Liemei was excited, and said to Sun Yueling that joining the Caring Hall was really right, in the entire Jingshi, as long as the name of the Caring Hall and his father Li Ruobing was reported at any time, everyone who heard it was invincible, and the person who pursued you just now was an obvious example. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sun Yueling could only smile bitterly, he was not as optimistic as her, he had always known the methods of the Smelling Fragrance Society, Ding Mengyao let them go this time, maybe there would be some conspiracy to be carried out secretly.
So, he came to the hall in the hall, and told Li Ruobing, the head of the hall, what he saw and heard on Dengshi Street, and finally said: "Wenxiang will win over Gongshun Hou, and say that Chengguo Gong is not easy to deal with, there must be a big conspiracy." ”
After Li Ruobing listened, he pondered and sat in the hall without saying a word. The crowd around him was talking about it, and the crowd was surging.
After a long time, Li Ruobing said: "It is no secret that the matter of Gongshun Hou Wu Ruyin's admiration for Mu Wan's beauty has been spread throughout the Jingshi. But, according to what you said, the Smelling Fragrance Society is ready, everything is ready......" Thinking of the struggle with the Smelling Fragrance Society over the years, he continued, "Do they really want to join forces with Gongshun Hou to eradicate Cheng Guogong?" ”
He shook his head again and said: "The hereditary replacement of Chengguo Gong, the governor of Jingying Rongzheng, is not easy to deal with." Could it be ...... What do they want to be today? ”
Thinking of this, he was shocked and said, "Although this is possible, it is also unbelievable. The Son of Heaven has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the entire imperial city is guarded by the forbidden army, which is heavily guarded, and it is even more difficult to overcome. ”
After thinking about it, I still can't guess the next plan of the Smelling Fragrance Society.
But there is no doubt that this moment is a dangerous time, and thinking that Wenxiang will invite him to the meeting tomorrow on Qipan Street to discuss, the situation is urgent and dangerous, and it will not be a good thing.
At this moment, Liu Zixiao, the master of the East Hall, who had been listening to it for a long time, said: "Elder Li, Wenxiang will operate in Beijing for many years, and it has always been unpredictable, and this time there may really be a possibility of attacking the imperial city in a desperate fight." You must not go to tomorrow's date, you must be laying an ambush and being uneasy. ”
Li Ruobing said lightly: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." I have already promised Xu Hongru, how can I not believe it? Even if he smells the fragrance will be Longtan Tiger's Den, what is Li afraid of? ”
Liu Zixiao refused to take a break, and said: "Elder Li, why don't you wait for the military advisor to come back and then discuss?" "Since Wang Wenyan, the military master of the Caring Hall, was rescued from the edict prison, he was hired as the cabinet secretary by Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and served in the palace, and the days spent in the care hall were also much less.
After thinking for a while, Li Ruobing said, "That's fine, Zixiao, you quickly send someone to inform the military advisor and ask him to come to the hall at noon tomorrow to care about the deliberations." ”
Liu Zixiao nodded in response.
Li Ruobing looked around and said: "Going to the meeting tomorrow, it is bound to be dangerous, Huang Tianlai, the acting hall master of the North Hall, and Liu Zixiao, the master of the East Hall, will go to the meeting with me, Sun Yueling will stay in the main hall, and the rest of the people will be ambushed near Xijiang Mixiang to respond. ”
The crowd responded with a bang.
After Li Ruobing made the arrangements to deal with it, Sun Yueling felt happy and sorrowful.
Since he joined the Caring Hall, this was the first time he had a direct conflict with the Smelling Fragrance Society, and he was very excited to think that he could finally make a complete break with this cult and chaotic party that persecuted him deeply; But it's a pity that this time Li Ruobing didn't let him directly participate in the negotiation and ambush, but he let him stay behind and care about the main hall, and suddenly felt a sense of loss again.
At this moment, his confidence in daring to fight has increased a lot, but it is a pity that he lacks the opportunity to fight.
At this moment, he has taken a cooked copper long stick from the hall, and every time he has free time, he will also practice martial arts, and he feels that his stick technique has improved a lot after witnessing the battle of others many times, and he has learned a lot from experience, and the fourteen sticks of sealing demons have been very ripe.
It's a pity that he never learned to make seventeen sticks, which is his biggest regret.
I remember that Yuan Hongdao once told him that there is actually only one trick to seal the magic stick. Thinking of this, he felt that it was difficult to understand, this magic stick method has fourteen moves, each move has many changes, how can it be one move?
It's complicated.
I remember that Bruce Lee in later generations also said that his Jeet Kune Do actually has only one move, it seems that these martial arts masters have cultivated to the back, and all the techniques can be integrated as they want, and he is still many, many miles away from that realm.
What made him feel the most tragic was that he no longer seemed to be able to make the shocking blow he felt when he fought against Ma Hou in the raging rain and angry sea, and he completely lost the feeling of killing that day.
It can be seen that the stick method of that day was really a divine hand, completely beyond his usual practice level, and it seemed that he could no longer enter the state of the day and use this earth-shattering stick.
At noon on the second day, as usual, Li Ruobing convened his cousins to discuss and determine a specific way to deal with it, and make arrangements in advance for everything that might happen next.
Originally, this meeting was also to wait until the military advisor Wang Wenyan came back to discuss it carefully, but Liu Zixiao brought Wang Wenyan's reply, saying that the cabinet was busy with affairs, and he couldn't take time to care about the hall deliberations, but he just asked him to tell Li Ruobing that he should be careful, try not to step into the sphere of influence of the Nancheng Smelling Fragrance Society, and bring more people to negotiate just in case.
After Li Ruobing heard this, he said: "Since the military advisor can't come, then everything will be done according to the original plan." Although he also had concerns in his heart, after all, the location of this meeting was not in the sphere of influence of the Nancheng Smelling Fragrance Society, but on the chessboard street in Zhongcheng, which has always been a buffer zone for the various forces in Beijing, so there is no need to worry too much.
Moreover, although the Smelling Fragrance Society is well prepared, but over the years, the power of the Smelling Fragrance Society has been suppressed by the Caring Hall very much, even if they can win over Gongshun Hou, do they really dare to attack the Imperial City? There are not only forbidden troops guarding the imperial city, but also various armed forces such as the Nine Gate Patrol Envoy, the Jinyi Guard Command Envoy, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the Beijing Division.
Again, this obedient Hou, he is not without understanding. This person is the Mongols who defected to the Yongle Emperor after the capital Timur, although he was given the surname Han, but it was passed on to Wu Ruyin's generation, it has long been a false name, not in charge of real power, even if it is the Shenshu Battalion in the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, but the Shenshu Battalion has undergone changes, and it has long been not the main force of the Mongols, but most of the Han people are mixed in the meantime, and it is not the strength of one of them that can be mobilized at all.
Thinking of this, Li Ruobing was very determined, and he was even more confident about going to the meeting this time.
Therefore, according to the predetermined plan, at three o'clock in the unitary hour, he led Liu Zixiao and Huang Tianlai to the Liuquanju located on Qipan Street in Zhongcheng.
Liuquanju is a time-honored brand that drinks the reputation of Jingshi, founded in the Jiajing period, is a famous yellow tavern in Beijing, and sells authentic Jingshi rice wine, it is said that the golden character of the plaque is still mentioned by Yan Song, the first assistant of the year.
This time-honored brand of Beijing is not only a place where the nobles of the court often come to drink and taste food at that time, but also a place where many literati and traders gather for wine, and because of its unique location, it is located in the middle city where many forces in Beijing are not as powerful, so it is even more lively and extraordinary, and has become a place where people of all kinds come and go.
Li Ruobing and the three of them came to the elegant room on the third floor of Liuquan Residence, and Xu Hongru, the leader of the Smelling Fragrance Club, had already been waiting for a long time.
He glanced around, and there were only three people in the incense smelling party. In addition to the owner Xu Hongru, there are also Ding Mengyao, the head of the three associations, and Mu Wan, the first brand in Jiangnan, who came to Beijing for the first time.
As Ding Mengyao said at the beginning, only three people were sent by the Smelling Fragrance Club, and two of them were still women, it seems that Xu Hongru did have the sincerity to negotiate this time.
Of course, he is also an old man, even if there are only three people in the incense smelling meeting, he will not take it lightly, maybe the periphery of Liuquanju is also like a caring hall, and he has already laid out heavy soldiers.
"Elder Awe!" Xu Hongru seemed to be extremely respectful, and as soon as he came up, he hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "Sanshi Gong is coming, Hongru is late, please take a seat, please take a seat." He said to Mu Wan again, "Sister Wan, you can be by the side of Elder Li and accompany the head hall master well." ”
Mu Wanjiao laughed, walked forward slowly, next to Li Ruobing, and guided him to sit down in the middle of the seat.
The six people sat down in front of the wine table, Li Ruobing and Xu Hongru naturally achieved the position of chief, and next to Li Ruobing's right were Mu Wan and Liu Zixiao; Sitting on Xu Hongru's left were Ding Mengyao and Huang Tianlai.
Since the head card of the Jingshi sat on Li Ruobing's side, Ding Mengyao smiled and pulled Huang Tianlai to sit beside her, so as to make the wine table appear more balanced. There is one person on each side, which is not abrupt to sit down, but also can eliminate a lot of opposing emotions, which can be said to be just right.
After the two sides sat down, all kinds of dishes and snacks were brought up like flowing water, and in an instant a whole table was already placed, and even the guys from Liu Quanju served several pots of fine wine on plates.
After Xu Hongru waved his hand and withdrew from the buddy, he let out a long laugh, first opened the conversation, and said: "Elder Li, this Liuquanju wine is a must in Beijing, different from the taste of "Shaoxing Yellow and Shandong Yellow", you have to taste it." What he said was true, the wine of Liuquanju is made from underground spring well water, which is not only fragrant and lush, but also mellow and sweet, which is a must for the Beijing master.
Li Ruobing picked up the wine bowl, tasted it first, and said with a smile: "It's really soft and soft, and it deserves its reputation." Then his eyes swept over Liu Zixiao and Huang Tianlai slightly, signaling that it was okay to drink, and there was no poison in the wine.
Xu Hongru continued: "Elder Li, can you also try this silver silk roll and bean paste skin to see if it meets the taste?" When he said this, he also let Li Ruobing release his guard, if this dish is poisonous, then Li Ruobing will also know it as soon as he eats it. There are several masters like him, how can he not tell whether this dish is poisonous or not, and the poison alone can't help him.
Li Ruobing didn't give up, took a bite of chopsticks, and said: "It's not wrong, it's worthy of being a delicious Jingshi, Brother Hongru really has a heart." ”
Ding Mengyao saw him take a bite at this time, so she laughed and said, "You don't have to be polite, eat together, eat together." ”
At this time, Liu Zixiao and Huang Tianlai no longer doubted, moved chopsticks together, and ate the dishes together.
Mu Wan filled the wine glass for Li Ruobing again, and said with a smile: "Elder Li, it is rumored that you are a large number of people in Jingshi, so you can drink a few more glasses today." ”
Li Ruobing said with a smile: "Where is it, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are mostly exaggerated, today's beauty is current, Li is afraid that he will get drunk after three cups......"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm, where it was like the two gang leaders in the Beijing division who were standing tall and negotiated, and it was clearly a Lantern Festival party with happy and happy conversations.
