Chapter 67: Suppressing Bandits
Xuan Jing was sitting with Gu Tingxu in the Qingyun Cave Mansion at this time drinking tea and listening to the piano, Xuan Jing occasionally asked some questions about secret techniques, Gu Tingxu naturally knew everything, Bai Lie had never dared to be interested in these mysterious things, so he naturally had no time to accompany them, so he found a clean place to practice swords. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Lou Bin asked to see him, Gu Tingxu was still a little surprised, he didn't know what was so urgent, and he actually asked Lou Zhizhou to run to Qingyun Cave Mansion to find him.
Xuan Jing looked confident, and said Mr. Gu, your good thing is coming, Lou Zhizhou's visit today must be for the matter of the Wucheng horse bandits.
Sure enough, as soon as Lou Bin entered the door and saw the two of them, he bowed down, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, and the three of them exchanged a few words, and Xuanjing, as the host, led Lou Zhizhou to the hall to drink tea and enjoy the piano.
How could Lou Bin have this leisure and talk nonsense with the two, as soon as he sat down, he was about to talk about the recent horse bandits, who expected Xuan Jing to smile slightly, gave Lou Bin a cup of tea, and motioned for Lou Bin to drink tea.
Lou Bin was a little embarrassed, he seemed to be a little childish, lacking the etiquette of the city government, so he hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Huh! Lou Bin exclaimed slightly, as soon as Xuanjing this tea entered the mouth, it was a strong aroma, straight to the heart and spleen, the tea was sweet and cold, there was no miscellaneous taste, the tea fragrance was rich and clear, and it was a rare good tea.
"Master Xuan, where did you get this tea?" Lou Bin was a little amazed.
Xuan Jing smiled slightly and said: "It's just the original tea in this Qingyun Cave Mansion, it is a small species of Zhengshan in Wuyi Mountain, I think the fermentation is just right, and I will take it out and drink it in the past few days, and it can still be tasted by adults, right?" ”
Lou Bin hurriedly said: "Zhengshan small species, famous all over the world, I heard that now the tea trees are extinct, the only few remaining tea trees are growing on the cliff, when picking tea, you have to use specially trained apes to pick, Xuan Gongzi is so particular about tea, it is really elegant." ”
Xuan Jing said: "Lou Zhizhou has won the award, this is just something left by the Divine Monarch, and I am also generous to others, Lord Zhizhou, listen to the piano together." ”
How could Lou Bin have such idleness, and was about to talk about important things, but saw that Xuan Jing and Gu Tingxu were both indifferent, obviously ready to listen to Huiqin's performance, Lou Bin had to be patient and press the conversation first.
Who knows that Huiqin strokes the piano, Lou Bin is a stunned, the usual sound of the piano, but coiled around the ear, if the piano operator is superb, plus the listener has thoughts, the rhythm can move the heartstrings.
And the sound of the piano played by this Huiqin girl seems to go straight into the hearts of everyone, making people fascinated and unable to control themselves, and the beauty of intoxication is indescribable in words, even Lou Bin and other officials who have been in the sea for a long time also feel that their hearts are shaking, like in the clouds and fog, indescribable enjoyment.
After Huiqin finished playing the song "Daya", she took the number of nine paragraphs, which was half an hour, but everyone in the hall was intoxicated and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Lou Bin was even more fascinated, not knowing whether he was dreaming or waking up.
"Lord Lou...... Lord Lou? ”
Lou Bin suddenly woke up, and looked at Xuan Jing with some embarrassment, "Gongzi, this friend is really a national player, this official has been an official for many years, and he is the pianist in Diji, and he has seen a lot, but he has never heard such a mysterious and elegant piano sound like this girl, this song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world!" ”
Xuanjing smiled and said: "Lou Zhizhou has won the award, the so-called mountains and rivers, bosom friends are hard to find, in fact, Miss Huiqin, why don't you like an elegant bosom friend like Lord Lou." ”
The two sides looked at each other and smiled, and Gu Tingxu asked, "Lord Zhizhou came here this time, I don't know what important things to discuss?" ”
Lou Bin only remembered the business of this trip at this time, and hurriedly got up and said solemnly: "This time the official came, there is something to ask Mr. Gu, please Mr. Gu in front of the people of Wucheng, you must agree!" ”
Gu Ting was shocked, he didn't know what was going on, and he made the plain and steady Lou Zhizhou so solemn.
"Lou Zhizhou is serious, this Wucheng is the foundation of our Sanqingmen, anything in Wucheng is closely related to Sanqingmen, as long as Lou Zhizhou commands, the disciples of Sanqingmen will definitely go all out." Gu Ting's words were sincere.
Lou Bin said: "Mr. Gu may have heard, recently a group of horse thieves outside the city, more than ten days ago ransacked a landlord on the outskirts of the city, and a few days ago robbed the grain depot in the northern suburbs, and now Shangfeng ordered the official to arrest the horse thieves within a month, alas......" Lou Bin said and sighed.
Gu Tingxu glanced at Xuan Jing, meaning that you really made it right, Lou Zhizhou really came to me for the matter of horse bandits.
I only heard Lou Bin say again: "Mr. Gu, you also know, this official has always studied the way of a sage, and he is a useless scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, and he still has some experience in governing states and counties, but he is indeed not the director of this official when he goes to war and leads the troops to kill thieves." ”
Gu Tingxu asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Lou Bin said: "Mr. Gu practices the immortal law, in the eyes of my generation, he is like a fairy among the gods, if Mr. Gu and the disciples of Sanqingmen are willing to come forward to help, why worry about the horse bandits!" ”
Gu Tingxuan smiled dumbly, and said in his heart that Lou Zhizhou was really sick and rushed to the doctor, although there were many secret masters under the Sanqing Sect, but who said that the secret master was good at leading soldiers to catch thieves, and the disciples of the Sanqing Sect were no different from ordinary people except for meditating and cultivating every day.
What's more, the situation in the suburbs is complicated, there are many horse bandits, and they are extremely cunning, I heard that Lou Zhizhou has also sent troops to suppress bandits several times, and he has not even seen the figure of the horse bandits, even if Gu Tingxu has the heart to help, he is powerless.
Gu Tingxu was waiting to explain clearly to Lou Bin, but when he saw Xuan Jing squeezing his eyes on the side, Gu Tingxu didn't know what he meant, and he took back the words that rushed to his mouth at the moment.
Xuan Jing said: "Lord Zhizhou, I see that you have found the right person today, I heard that the horse bandits are only two or three hundred, and Mr. Gu Sanqing has nearly a hundred disciples under the sect, although not every one of them is as amazing as Mr. Gu, but it is more than enough to exterminate the horse bandits." ”
Lou Bin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what kind of opinion Xuan Gongzi has, I would like to hear about it!" ”
Xuan Jing smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, it's just that the horse bandits are cunning, and they have to ask Lord Zhizhou for something to eradicate the horse bandits in one fell swoop and leave no trouble." ”
Lou Bin said: "Master Xuan, but it doesn't hurt to say, as long as the official can do it, he will do his best to meet it." ”
Xuan Jing said: "There is nothing important, but I want Lou Zhizhou to open the Wucheng Armory and give Mr. Gu twenty crossbows, ten firearms, another 1,000 crossbow arrows, and 200 thunderbolt fireballs." ”
Lou Bin gasped, and said in his heart that this military crossbow and firearm have always been strictly controlled by the imperial court, and they will never be allowed to flow into the people.
Xuan Jing saw that Lou Bin had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Lou Zhizhou doesn't have to be embarrassed, as long as this ordnance is in place, it doesn't take a month, it doesn't take fifteen days, just within ten days, Mr. Gu will be able to present the head of the horse bandit!" ”
"And Lou Zhizhou doesn't have to worry about the private transfer of ordnance to civilian use, and he dares to assure Lou Zhixian that after this batch of ordnance is transferred, no one will dare to investigate the responsibility of Lou Zhixian!"
Lou Bin was a little hesitant in his heart, and privately transferred the armament, which was enough to cut off the head, but Shangfeng also spoke, if he couldn't catch the horse bandits, he would also be held responsible.
However, this matter of private transfer of ordnance can be big or small, at the moment there are only three people, Lou Bin, Gu Tingxu and Xuan Jing, as long as no one says anything, then there is no such thing as private transfer, at most, when it is checked, it can be lost and damaged when it is said to suppress the bandits, who can still go to the horse bandits to confront them?
What's more, since the incident of Baihualou, Lou Bin has always been convinced by Xuan Jing, and feels that this young man is young, but he has a calmness and maturity that far surpasses his peers, and his analysis and judgment of various situations are very accurate.
Lou Bin thought about it, and finally put his heart sideways, ready to take a shot, "Okay, according to what Master Xuan said, this official will call the crossbow and fire gun to you, and you will help the official to suppress the bandits!" ”
Xuan Jing smiled: "Lord Lou is really a cheerful person, today I will make an appointment with my lord, within ten days, I will definitely send the horse bandit to the head and present it to the adult." ”
……
"Master Xuan!" After sending Lou Bin away, Gu Ting looked at Xuan Jing in a frustrated manner.
"Zai Xia is just a man in the rivers and lakes, where can he have the ability to lead troops to suppress bandits, if it weren't for the fact that Shenjun taught some secret techniques, Zai Xia and that Lou Zhizhou are also powerless, this time the son actually took a big package to go down to suppress bandits, isn't this a joke!"
Gu Tingxu really couldn't figure out how Master Xuan, who had always been empathetic, could forcibly agree to Lou Bin for himself in this kind of thing.
Xuan Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is too worried, how can I not know that Mr. Gu is not good at leading troops." ”
"Then you take care of this for me!" Gu Tingxu said.
Xuan Jing said: "Mr. Gu, I didn't say that you should go to suppress the bandits, you don't have to worry." ”
Gu Tingxu sighed, "That's it, this matter should be answered, what else can I do, I will hurry up and repair a letter now, and beg a few of my fellow disciples in Diji to see if there are any generals who serve in the military department, who can help me answer this matter." ”
"Mr. Gu doesn't have to bother, I already have arrangements, but I need Mr. Gu to work a little hard."
Gu Ting was surprised: "You? What arrangements can you have, Master Xuan, this leading the army to suppress bandits is not the same as teaching Shi Tingba a lesson, don't think too simply. ”
"Mr. Gu, I already have an idea in my heart, but I need to borrow your Mr. Gu's name to help me take out those ordnance and send it to the mountain temple outside the city, and someone will pick it up, and within ten days, I can call those horse bandits to be headed!" Xuan Jing had a confident expression, Gu Ting looked at it in a daze, but he thought in his heart, what kind of teenager is this.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Tingxu sent his disciples to the Wucheng Armory to receive twenty crossbows, ten firearms, feather arrows and fire bullets, all available.
According to Xuan Jing's meaning, Gu Tingxu personally led his disciples to go out of the city at night and to the mountain temple on the outskirts of the city.
The temple is old, but it has never worked, so it has long since fallen into disrepair and dilapidated, and has been reduced to a resting place for homeless beggars, and occasionally pedestrians who miss their accommodation, and there are also shelters from the wind and rain.
When Gu Tingxu rushed to the mountain temple, it was already dark, and the mountain temple was empty, remembering what Xuan Jing said, he only needed to place all the ordnance in the main hall of the mountain temple, and even if Gu Tingxu completed the task, naturally someone took these ordnance and went to suppress the bandits.
