Liu Ziguang and others swaggered out of the county office, walking on the street of the county, Wanping county is not called Wanping, but called Gongbei City, as the southern gateway of the capital, the city is only east and west, there are urn cities and city towers, in addition to the county government office, there is also a battalion of green battalion soldiers responsible for guarding the city, outside the city is the famous Fengtai camp, tens of thousands of Eight Banners athletes are stationed here, guarding the south gate of Beijing.

Fengtai camp is a huge walled city, deep ditch, high fortress, hope tower, lookout pole set up deer firewood, trapped horse pit, outside the camp a group of patrol cavalry roaring past, the camp is waving flags, people shouting horses, hearing that it is the soldiers in training, Liu Ziguang looked at it and praised: "A good big array, comparable to the Tianmen array." Liu Ziguang said that the Tianmen Array is the Liao State Great Array in the storytelling paragraph "Yang Jiajiang", the Liao State Great Array that Mu Guiying broke through the Tianmen Array, although the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society have not read the book, but they have heard a lot of storytelling, and they all nodded their heads with this admiration: "The Fengtai camp is indeed a strong fortress, but with the leadership of the chief helmsman, we will definitely be able to break the formation." Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "We don't need to worry about breaking the formation, as long as we find out the situation of the people, horses, grain and grass in this big battalion, and leave this matter to the brothers who are good at disguise." "Back to Tie Dan Village, Liu Ziguang further assigned the task all the way, responsible for the investigation of Fengtai Daying, all the way to the neighboring county to eradicate the hardcore traitors, this can be regarded as killing chickens, waiting for Xie Baoqing a little pressure, of course, the Han officials who can fight for it are still mainly fighting, and then Liu Ziguang led a group of heroes into the capital and prepared to make a big fuss.

Today's sky is not early, and when I get to the south gate of the capital, I am afraid that the city gate should also be closed, so Liu Ziguang will stay in Tie Dan Zhuang tonight, and Dai Zhongying asked people to clean up a few upper rooms for Liu Ziguang and others to live in, and asked his daughter to bring a few pots of flowers and put them in the bedroom of the chief helmsman.

"The owner of the village is so good, Yaxing, oh, I don't see that people who practice martial arts still like to fiddle with flowers and plants." Liu Ziguang said casually.

"The chief helmsman Miao praised his subordinates, buying this epiphany purely for profit, you don't know that the capital has been popular recently, the epiphany was sold yesterday for a hundred taels of silver, and today it can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels, this is still the cheapest variety, it is said that the epiphany is placed in the bedroom, can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, prolong life, and the subordinates also raised a few pots at home, and want to wait for the price to be a little higher, and now the chief helmsman lives in the cold house, of course, he wants to contribute the epiphany to the chief helmsman." Dai Zhongying explained.

"Is this thing so amazing?" Liu Ziguang touched his chin and looked at a few pots of epiphany, the branches and leaves were verdant and luxuriant, and the pots were carved with patterns, but there was nothing unique about it.

Dai Zhongying gave his daughter who was standing aside a look, and Dai Wenpei showed off his knowledge: "Epiphany, also called Wei Daohua." Wei Daohua is very special, always choose at dawn at the moment when the dew first condenses before blooming, according to legend, the epiphany and the Buddha under the seat of Wei Dao Venerable have a sad and lingering story, so the epiphany is also called Wei Daohua. Legend has it that Epiphany is a flower goddess, she blooms every day, the seasons are brilliant, she fell in love with a young man who hoeed grass for her every day, and later the Jade Emperor knew about it, so he thundered and wanted to break up the mandarin duck. The Jade Emperor demoted the god of flowers to a flower that could only bloom for a moment in his life, did not let her meet her lover again, and sent the young man to the coffin mountain to become a monk and give him the name Wei Tuo, so that he could forget the past and forget the god of flowers. But the god of flowers could not forget the young man, she knew that every year in the late spring, Venerable Wei Huo would go up the mountain to collect spring dew for the Buddha's sencha, and it was at that time that the flowers bloomed! I hope to see Venerable Wei Dao once at a time! It's a pity that spring is gone, spring flowers bloom, Xie Weituo still doesn't recognize her! As the so-called flash in the pan, it is only for Wei Tuo. "Liu Ziguangxin said, you give me all these useless folk tales, what are you doing is not just an epiphany, I heard that it does bloom in the middle of the night, and the petals are fragrant and dazzling, but this thing will not have the effect of absorbing the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth to prolong life, shrugging his shoulders at the moment, noncommittal.

Dai Wenpei added: "The flowering season of epiphany is in the evening between summer and autumn, and the blooming time is only two hours, which is very short. When the epiphyllum opens, the flower tube slowly lifts up, the purple coat slowly opens, and then the large white snow-like flower composed of more than 2o petals opens. When it opens, the petals and stamens are fluttering, and they are gorgeous. But only 3~4 hours later, the corolla closes, the flowers soon wither, this period is the time when it absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, take advantage of this time to pick the petals, decoction with rootless water, can prolong life, this is the master of several major pharmacies in the capital are recognized by the master, the level of medicinal power is different according to the type of flower, the more expensive the epiphany, the more can absorb more essence, our Zhuangzi's epiphany is only the cheapest, not unaffordable, but can not be bought, I heard that the most valuable Chang'e running to the moon and the blue enchantress two varieties can be sold for 100,000 taels on the black market in the capital, just like that, there is no price, and there is no market, and you can't buy it with silver。 Liu Ziguang suddenly remembered that today in Wanping County, Xie Baoqing's study, I also saw a few pots of epiphany, Nancheng Cheng Cheng really began to hype epiphany, just like the eighties people hyped Junzi Orchid, a worthless flower into a sky-high price, this lack of virtue I don't know who arose it, but this kind of thing is just a small episode for him after all, people Dai Zhongying's father and daughter arranged epiphany in their bedroom, it is also a good heart, and he can't say anything, so he can only politely thank you.

Beijing. In the Cining Palace of the Forbidden City, a handsome girl faced a noble lady who was naturally beautiful and could not see the specific age, and talked eloquently: "The cause of Grandma Fan Jian's death has been ascertained, it must be someone from the south, there are obvious traces of gunpowder explosion in the ruins, I can conclude that there must be secret agents from Nanchang in Beijing now." ”

"Su Ma, you have to pay more attention to this matter, Liu Ziguang, that thief must not be underestimated, if the mourning family is not wrong, the recent case near the capital is also inseparable from him, he is taking revenge on you, hum, killing my emperor and killing Prince Rui, these two accounts have not been settled with him, he came to the door first." The lady said fiercely.

"Grandma rest assured, Su Ma has already sent someone to investigate this matter, according to the clues provided by the people of Taixue, it is Liu Ziguang himself who pretends to be Mr. Yan Chongmian in Taixue, and I have asked the Danqing master to draw Liu Ziguang's shadow and pattern, and distribute them to the Criminal Department, Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, Shuntian Mansion and other yamen, so that they can loosen their minds outside and search for Liu Ziguang and his comrades inside, if he dares to enter the capital again, he will definitely let him have no return." The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, gently stroked the girl's head, and lifted the beauty that hung down her face, revealing a red scar on her white cheeks

"Su Ma, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, you suffered and almost died in the Southern Dynasty, if you really have a grandmother with three long and two short, I will die of distress." She said lovingly.

The girl with the scar on her face is the Manchu spy leader Su Mo'er who disappeared in the explosion at Xuanwu Lake, Su Mo'er is just her nickname when she was in the Mongolian tribe, and now her official name is Su Ma Lagu, who is the personal female officer of the Empress Dowager and also serves as the walking officer of the Military Aircraft Department, Nan Ming and her party, she showed her head for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and won a game in the confrontation between the two countries, although she left a scar on her face, but Su Ma Lagu thought that the trip was still worth it, because she brought two rare techniques from the Southern Dynasty.

"Grandma, we have mastered the formula of gunpowder, and the powerful weapon is being developed, and our Ministry of Engineering has already copied two of this." Su Ma Lagu took out two short fire guns and gave them to the Empress Dowager to play with.

"This is a sample imitation of the fire gun given to me by Zhang Jun, although the range power cannot be exactly the same as the original, but it can already meet the needs, the Ministry of Industry has worked overtime to create a hundred Blue Feather guards who want to equip the palace first." Su Ma Lagu said.

"Don't fire guns, you have to give priority to equipping the military aircraft department, then the Shenji Battalion, the Xiaocai Battalion, the Jianrui Battalion, these units, and finally equip the guards in the palace, this Forbidden City is safe after all, no matter how bold the southern barbarians are, they don't dare to break in." The Empress Dowager said.

"Grandma Shengming." Aunt Su Mala bowed her head respectfully.

"Okay, let's go to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, by the way, give him these two firearms, bring us full of martial arts, this kind of sharp firearms, he must like it very much. It just so happens that he has a few pots of good epiphany, don't you like epiphany, the old woman will help you get all the epiphany from the Qianqing Palace today. The Empress Dowager said and asked the palace maid to take the box of the fire gun and take Su Ma Lagu to the Qianqing Palace.

At the same time, on the bean juice stall at the gate of Waizongren's Mansion, several big men were sitting on a bench, grinning, drinking swishing bean juice, eating rubber rings, and looking at the towering **.

"This Beijing snack is really distinctive, it's just a pot of water that has been put for ten days and half a month. It's far worse than our braised noodles in Henan. Zhong Shenjiang couldn't bear the taste, put down the bean juice bowl and complained.

"You are not used to eating and drinking, and then I will see if I don't let you drink for two or three years, you will be in a hurry." The heroine Dai Wenpei drank bean juice and explained to everyone the food culture of Beijing and the geography around the Forbidden City.

"What do you think it's like to stand on that tower?" Liu Ziguang, who had already been helped by the masters of the rivers and lakes, looked at ** and suddenly said such a sentence.
