There are about two miles from Wuguantang to the water source, although it is easy to go, but when you come back, two large barrels are filled with mountain spring water, and each weighs about 100 catties. Monk Mingsheng walked in the forefront, he stretched out his arms, carried a bucket in one hand, walked like flying, no matter the ups and downs of the mountain road, a pair of buckets always kept balanced, and the mountain spring water filled with it did not see a drop spilled out.

Hu Xiaotian followed closely, he didn't grasp the balance at the beginning, and splashed a few drops of mountain spring water out, but soon he mastered the trick, the same striding meteor, walking like flying, his current internal strength is already above Mingsheng, although this bucket is very heavy, but it is not a burden for Hu Xiaotian at all.

Those guards don't have their ability, not to mention stretching their arms flat, just carrying buckets with both hands are already tired, you must know that they have not had a good rest since they left the imperial city last night, this night not only have to be responsible for duty, but also live to chop wood, tossing for a whole night, before dawn and was forced by Hu Xiaotian to come over to carry water, there is not even a flat pole, the bucket is twice as big as the ordinary one. These guards secretly scolded Hu Xiaotian in their hearts for being a perverted skinner, and they didn't sympathize with their hard work at all.

Zuo Tang slipped on his feet carelessly, and even fell to the ground with a bucket, and the water in the bucket was poured clean.

Hu Xiaotian stopped and turned to look, and when he saw Zuo Tang's wolf bèi, instead of feeling sympathy, he almost didn't laugh out loud, and he said to Monk Mingsheng: "Master Mingsheng, how did you deal with this situation?" ”

Mingsheng said: "Go back and fill the bucket again and pick it up." ”

Hu Xiaotianpi glanced at the guards without smiling and said: "Listen to me, since you come to Tianlong Temple, you have to do it according to the rules of the temple, if anyone dumps the water halfway and does not meet the standards, go back and start again." When the standard is met, when the task is completed. ”

When the guards heard him say this, they couldn't wait to rush up and tear this guy apart, but because of his official position, no one dared to openly contradict him, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it. Zuo Tang struggled to get up from the ground, carrying two empty buckets and returning to the mountain spring to get water. This back and forth will consume a lot of energy.

Hu Xiaotian taught these guards a vivid lesson today, what is the body is the capital of the revolution, and without a body, you can only be bullied. If you only let others do it yourself, it is called bullying, but now Hu Xiaotian is leading by example, even if these guards are dissatisfied in their hearts, they have nothing to say.

Mingsheng and Hu Xiaotian were the first to come to the cistern and poured water into it. Seeing that Hu Xiaotian's face was not red and out of breath, he was secretly surprised in his heart. No wonder Hu Xiaotian was able to become the leader of this group of people at such a young age, it seems that he does have extraordinary abilities, and then look at the guards, the nearest one is still half a mile away from the reservoir, and their bodies are already overdrawn, and they poke two buckets on the ground after walking a few steps, because the bottom is pointed, and the arms must also maintain strength. A few people did not control their balance, and the buckets fell to the ground. Had to go back and get water again.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Mingsheng, how many times do you fetch water every day?" ”

"Three trips per person!"

Hu Xiaotian picked up the bucket and walked in the direction of the mountain spring, and raised his voice to everyone: "Listen to it to me, three trips per person!" ”

When the sky was completely bright, there were still three guards who had not completed the task of fetching water, and these three people were covered in mud because they had fallen many times, and Zuo Tang simply sat on the middle of the road. Panting and said, "I can't carry it, even if you kill me, I can't carry it." ”

For people like Zuo Tang, Hu Xiaotian also has a way, don't you can't carry it? Then you will be punished for not eating for one day, and you will continue to carry it tomorrow, and when you can complete the task, when you will eat. This is not a trick he came up with, but the rules of Tianlong Temple are like this, as soon as he heard that he was not allowed to eat for a day, Zuo Tang's small universe was really scared out, and without saying a word, he carried two buckets of water to the reservoir.

Seeing that the guards on duty last night were tortured like this, the other group of guards who not only slept beautifully but also escaped hard work were secretly glad in their hearts, how could Hu Xiaotian let them be idle, leaving four people to be responsible for cooking, and the remaining six also went to feel the hard work of carrying water.

When he came to the kitchen, he saw that the two imperial chefs had prepared breakfast for the emperor, and smelling the tempting fragrance, Hu Xiaotian also felt unbearable hunger, so he directly picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted the old emperor's breakfast one by one.

The two imperial chefs were dumbfounded, and couldn't help but remind him: "Lord Hu, this is for the emperor." ”

"Yes!" At this time, Kung Fu Hu Xiaotian had already eaten the cage of vegetarian buns cleanly, and reached out again to take a bowl of soup with an unknown name, drank it in three sips, smashed his mouth and said: "It tastes good, it shouldn't be poisonous." ”

The two imperial chefs were made to cry and laugh by this guy, you can just say it if you want to eat it, and you actually suspect that it is poisonous.

Hu Xiaotian stretched out his hand to get another basket of steamed dumplings, and the imperial chef was so frightened that he hurriedly protected it with his hand: "Lord Hu, it's not enough for you to eat the emperor again......

Hu Xiaotian glared at him viciously: "How do you talk about this?" His Majesty asked me to be responsible for the safety of his meal, no matter what you do, of course I have to taste whether it is poisonous first, and I must make sure that it is okay before I can give it to the emperor to eat, you should eat it when I want to? "I glanced at the emperor's breakfast a few times, I damn it, there are twenty or thirty kinds of breakfast patterns alone, and the old emperor can eat so much? Mom, you have to pamper the old thing when you come here, what do you say to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, no matter how much you eat worse than in the palace? Instead, we're going to eat the chaff with us.

Hu Xiaotian pointed to the steamed dumplings protected by the imperial kitchen and said, "What are you feeling weak?" Originally, I didn't want to taste it, but now I suspect that there is something wrong with this steamed dumpling, so bring it, I'll try it! ”

The two imperial chefs had never dealt with lazy characters like Hu Xiaotian in the past, and they were still gloating when they saw Hu Xiaotian tossing those guards just now, but they didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, they had already begun to make things difficult for them.

One of them, Huang Luosheng, said, "Lord Hu, if this matter reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid it's not okay?" ”

Hu Xiaotian smiled disappreciatively: "You seem to be threatening me?" ”

"Don't dare!"

Hu Xiaotian sneered: "I regard the emperor's safety as more important than my own life, full of blood, full of loyalty, the sun and the moon can be seen, I am not afraid of people!" The servant picked up another plate of golden pumpkin pie, and stuffed two of them into it as he spoke.

The two imperial chefs were helpless, Huang Luosheng saw that the threat was not successful, so he could only discuss with him: "Lord Hu, I hope to show mercy today, and we will make more ...... for Lord Hu every day in the future."

Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not for me, I declare, I'm also in line with the attitude of being responsible for the emperor, only if I eat it, I dare to give these foods to the emperor, you think about it, if something really goes wrong, don't say it's you, plus I and those brothers don't have enough heads to cut off." ”

The two imperial chefs wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and saw that Hu Xiaotian was finally willing to let go of the rest of the breakfast, and hurriedly put the things away and put them into the food box. ”

The two imperial chefs counted it, and at this time, the twenty-nine cages of dim sum were killed by Hu Xiaotian, and it was too late to make them, so they looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Hu Xiaotian said: "You don't care, leave this matter to me." ”

He went out for a spin and came back in a moment, carrying a basket with several kinds of miscellaneous grains, which he placed directly in the empty steamer.

Huang Luosheng said in a trembling voice: "Master Hu, don't you taste these?" ”

Hu Xiaotian glared at him and said, "Are you asking me to take a bite of the emperor's breakfast?" ”

Hu Xiaotian took four guards to the emperor's residence with food boxes to deliver food to him, twenty-nine cages of snacks, if the old emperor eats them all, he is afraid that he will die alive, Hu Xiaotian secretly scolded the old emperor for wasting food, and when he arrived at the door of Fuxian Courtyard, he was stopped by Qi Danai and a group of guards, Qi Danei said with a smile on his face: "Lord Hu came so early?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Send food to the emperor, I'm worried that he will be hungry." ”

Qi Danai looked at the food boxes and said, "Leave it to us!" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "That's not possible, the emperor's order is to let me take care of the whole process, it's not that I can't trust you, but if something happens in the middle of the way, I'm afraid I can't say it clearly." ”

Qi Danei laughed and said, "Why can't Lord Hu even rest assured of his own people? ”

Hu Xiaotian smiled: "It's not that I'm suspicious, but the emperor's affairs are careless." At this time, I saw Yin Zheng and another little eunuch coming out.

Yin Zheng said with a smile: "Lord Hu is here, leave the things to me, the emperor said, if Lord Hu comes, please invite him to go in together." ”

Hu Xiaoangel looked, his subordinates handed over the food box to Yin Zheng and them, Hu Xiaotian followed into the Fuxian Courtyard, and found that the courtyard was lush with flowers and trees, and the bamboo was cultivated on both sides.

Yin Zheng led Hu Xiaotian to the outside of a meditation room, knocked lightly on the door, and a middle-aged man inside opened the door and looked at Hu Xiaotian vigilantly.

Hu Xiaotian only knew that this person was a master sent by the Tianji Bureau, and seeing that he had neither shaved his hair nor changed into monk's clothes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the same people did not have the same fate, and the old emperor did not look at them at all.

Long Xuanen's old voice came from inside: "Let him in." ”

The middle-aged man let go of the road before opening the door, Hu Xiaotian followed in, and saw Long Xuanen sitting cross-legged on the futon, with a wooden fish in front of him, which should be used for chanting.

Hu Xiaotian was about to bow down, but Long Xuanen said: "There is no need to be polite, this is not a palace, in front of the Buddha, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers." (To be continued......)
