Chapter 0064: Secretly Plotting
As soon as Zhou Qingfeng fell, he enjoyed the treatment of a super VIP of the Jianzhou Department, and was personally carried by Nurhachi's favorite concubine to the great shaman in the city. It is said that the Abahai people are beautiful, but their breasts are a little small. Zhou Qingfeng personally tested it with his face, at most it was a 33B cup, which was a little regrettable.
Abahai took Zhou Qingfeng to the old shaman in the Jianzhou Department, and the bad old man like a dead tree gave Zhou Qingfeng a dried frog leg - God knows if this thing has parasites? If you eat it, you will be sick if you are not sick. Zhou Qingfeng immediately said that he had recovered, was in good spirits, was in good health, and did not need to take medicine.
It's just that he didn't take the medicine, but Zhou Qingfeng asked the old shaman to check the root bone for him, and vaguely told Abahai that he needed to find another matching true yuan. The old shaman checked that there was a different color behind him, and he was thoughtful, but he didn't say anything, just judged that Zhou Qingfeng was probably out of strength, and it was good to rest and rest. Abahai didn't know much about the 'root bones' and 'true elements', so he couldn't help.
This made Zhou Qingfeng's expectations fall short again.
Very disappointed.......
A toss, the sun is in the west. Abahai wanted to return to the Han Palace, and Zhou Qingfeng could only go home dejectedly. Entering Gu Yuanwei's mansion, Yang Jian's eyes full of hatred could breathe fire. He shouted coldly to Zhou Qingfeng: "It's been less than a day since Master left, and you started to make such moths. ”
"I'm not used to it, is it? Because I'm different from you, you're just a puppet who only promises, and I'm a free man. Since he had torn his face, Zhou Qingfeng asked calmly, "What do you want?" I have a backer now, and Concubine Abahai looks at me differently, you can't afford to mess with me. ”
Yang Jian has a natural fear of the 'big guys', and instinctively feels that he can't be provoked, and he hates it even more to grind his teeth.
"I know you want to escape, and Master knows you want to escape. But if you can't escape, you will never be able to escape. Yang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I will keep an eye on you, and when the master comes back in a month, you will be dead." At that time, Master has a way to rectify you, if you want to live, you will live, and if you die, you will die. It can even make you worse than dead, and let you taste the taste I tasted back then. ”
"Hehe...... I'll wait." Zhou Qingfeng sneered and returned to his room. He lay in bed after dinner, but he could only stare blankly at the black hole roof, and couldn't sleep all night—a month, only a month. We must take advantage of Gu Yuanwei's absence to make some changes.
The next day, Abahai sent someone to select a site for Zhou Qingfeng's 'Pill Workshop'. Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to set up the 'Pill Workshop' in the outer city of Hetuala, which was convenient to access. However, Nurhachi personally intervened and demanded that such important facilities for refining pills must be strictly guarded, and as a result, the 'pill workshop' was placed in the inner city.
Refining Barilla Dew is not without benefits, and Zhou Qingfeng's task has become simpler. The wild boar skin no longer insisted on him to make any elixir, but let him refine the elixir. Zhou Qingfeng was cultivated as an alchemy monk, and the 'Pill Workshop' allocated five hundred taels of silver every month, and if there was any major progress, it could be added, it seemed that Nurhachi really valued the pill.
The original site of the 'Dan Medicine Workshop' was a warehouse, close to the Zhengbaiqi Yamen in the inner city. The Jurchen officials in charge of this matter also specially invited Zhou Qingfeng to see it, saying that it would be repaired according to his wishes. Zhou Qingfeng has a fart meaning, just say that he wants a spacious and quiet place, and the rest will be done.
On the day of the repair, Zhou Qingfeng also saw Mao Ada. After a few days of hard work, this guy seemed to have handed in good luck and became a foreman by relying on a carpenter. He had two or three working men under him, who were transferred by the regiments he commanded. When he looked at Zhou Qingfeng, he was still stupid and flattering, kowtowing and grateful. It's just that this time Zhou Qingfeng didn't even see his skinny wife.
In the 'Pill Workshop', the slave craftsmen all respectfully called Zhou Qingfeng 'little master'. Mao Ah was extremely diligent, and took the initiative to step forward with a shy face to pretend that he was Zhou Qingfeng's cronies, moving the table and pouring water, and the fox was pretending to be a tiger.
Zhou Qingfeng is not fake to Mao A, and he is too lazy to care about the other party's character. He beckoned to Mao Ah and shouted over, and whispered, "There is something I want you to do for me." ”
"It is a blessing for a slave to be able to do things for the little master." Mao Ada has been learning very quickly in the past few days, and his servile appearance is very emotional. "The little master said, I will do it."
"Well...... I know you still have some skills, it's too condescending to be a small foreman." Zhou Qingfeng drew a big pie first.
Mao Ada suddenly rubbed his hands with joy, "The little master praises like this, the slave really doesn't dare to be." ”
"I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm pretty good at talking, hahaha......." Zhou Qingfeng used laughter to hide the disgust in his heart, and he lowered his voice and said: "This 'pill shop' will be my territory in the future, since this is my territory, there will naturally be some secrets that need to be hidden." You're right? ”
"Yes, yes........" Mao Ada, in fact, didn't understand.
"If you think I'm going to hide something, where should I hide it?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in a low voice.
"Oh......." Mao Adaa really understands a little now, "The little master wants to dig a cellar secretly?" Or repair an attic that someone else can't find? ”
"The space should be large, and the entry and exit should be convenient, and no one should know about it, and you can't search it if you want to. There shouldn't be much movement when it was built. The mud dug out of the cellar is too conspicuous, and the attic is easy to see. I've been thinking for the past few days, what should I do? No one worries about me. "Zhou Qingfeng really had a headache about this.
Mao Ada, however, came up with an idea and said: "Make a sandwich wall." ”
"Clamping the wall? How big can a sandwich wall be? I'm going to hide more, and there's no way I can do it. Zhou Qingfeng was going to veto this suggestion.
"The little master doesn't know, and the average person searches either down or up, and it's hard to think that there is a room in the room. As long as the design is skillful, the human eye will make mistakes. Mao Adaa found a place where he could show off his ability, and said with a wink: "This 'pill shop' doesn't look big outside, and there are many rooms inside, and it is difficult for people who don't know how to detect it.
The sandwich wall was built at the interconnected point of several rooms, and the wall was repaired with masonry, making it difficult for knives and axes to enter. As long as the entrance and exit are covered, it is not easy to be detected. ”
Mao Adaa casually drew a few layout plans for the sandwich wall on the ground, and Zhou Qingfeng chose a design for the entrance and exit from the roof beams. Mao Ada also said: "If I come to supervise the construction, I will let different teams of people repair separately." At that time, except for the little master, no one will know the mystery. ”
Zhou Qingfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said 'good' a few times. He called the Jurchen officials in charge of the project here, pointed at Mao Ada and said: "The Great Khan has ordered me to recommend many talents on weekdays, and I will recommend this Mao Ada today." Building a camp is a big deal, and it's always good to have more talent. Let him come and repair my 'pill shop', if he does well, he will be promoted, and if he does not do well, he will be punished. ”
Uncle Zhou is now a celebrity in front of the concubine, and it is really nothing to recommend a craftsman to be an official. The Jurchen officials in charge of the construction also saw that Mao Ada's skills were some, so naturally they would not obstruct it, so they agreed on the spot. Mao Ada's gratitude suddenly cried, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The private plan moved forward steadily, and Zhou Qingfeng was in a slightly better mood. He couldn't help but ask Mao Adaa again: "How is your family doing recently?" My wife and children are all settled, right? ”
Mao Ada was stunned for a moment, he didn't dare to look at Zhou Qingfeng's eyes when he lowered his head, and Nuo Nuo said: "Thanks to the blessing of the little master, they are all fine." ”
"Oh...... that's good, that's good." Seeing Mao Ada's foolish appearance, Zhou Qingfeng scolded himself again. obviously persuaded himself to 'meddle with things', but he always thought about the three members of the Mao family he met when he first arrived in Hetuala. The shy child, the skinny woman, didn't know what was going on with them.
It is necessary to repair this secret wall, Zhou Qingfeng has too many secrets, and he always feels that he should be able to use it. This is related to his idea of wanting to fight 'Chu Ying', the big Baylor of the Jianzhou Department has extremely high martial arts and great military achievements, and he has also commanded a large part of the forces of the Jianzhou Department. If this person loses control or even rebels, Nurhachi's life will not be easy.
Zhou Qingfeng also wanted to try his luck, whether he could get the initial true yuan from Chu Ying and practice again. To that end, he was careful to gather information in this regard. Yesterday, when he was sent to the shaman by Abahai, he asked Abahai about it. He only said that he was stunned by the whistling sound inside the wall as he passed by the outer city, and Abahai took the initiative to say a lot.
The first is to let Zhou Qingfeng stay away from Chu Ying, who was locked in the high wall, because that big Baylor has gone completely crazy. Since he was a child, he fought and fought since he was a child, and he was a very popular minister, but he fell from the storage position of the Jianzhou Department in one day and lost all his power and status, which was a huge blow to anyone. Chu Ying thinks very highly of herself and is extremely narrow-minded, and has been locked up for two years and has been locked up alive into a schizophrenia.
Secondly, there is another detail, that is, the prison where Chu Ying is held is not guarded. Zhou Qingfeng was surprised at the time and asked why there were no guards, and he learned that Chu Ying, who was the number one master in the Jianzhou Department, had a little strength and screamed loudly, and the early guards were either shocked to death by him or shocked into idiots.
Those who can resist Chu Ying's powerful howl are in high positions, and it is impossible for them to be jailers every day. After a long time, it is unguarded. As for how to ensure that Chu Ying cannot escape without guards? That's simpler, only give one meal of food and water every three days. Let Chu Ying have no physical strength to escape. In this way, Chu Ying can only howl every time she eats a full meal, which also makes everyone live a lot.
However, according to the person who delivered Chu Ying's food, the long-term hunger made Chu Ying thin like a skeleton, but he was already mentally enchanted and became more and more ferocious. Once, the food delivery person accidentally fell for his 'Divine Soul' spell, and he gave him half of his hand to gnaw in a daze, gnawing until there was no flesh and blood left, only one arm bone, and he didn't know the pain.
There was such a terrible thing, and the idlers in the city did not dare to easily approach the high wall where Chu Ying was imprisoned. Except for people with ulterior motives like Zhou Qingfeng, everyone treats Chu Ying as a fierce devil. Now Nurhachi wants to execute Chu Ying, but he also feels that this eldest son is really hopeless.
You think Chu Ying is not saved, but he is useful to me-Zhou Qingfeng thought about the day he went to Hetuala, today happened to be the day to deliver food to Chu Ying, and the humanoid beast could howl endlessly.
Coming out of the 'Pill Workshop' in the inner city, Zhou Qingfeng deliberately walked in the direction of the high wall where Chu Ying was imprisoned, and Yang Jian did not leave the position. When I passed by the high wall, I found that there was not even a ghost shadow along the way, and all those who knew it avoided it. He consciously or unconsciously looked at the environment around the high wall, and slowly walked away under Yang Jian's gaze.
After walking for a while, a terrifying howl and roar sounded from within the high walls, spreading far and wide.
