In verse 23, as soon as the song is sung and harmonized, the Mu Wangfu is losing ground

During this period of time, the capital was really lively, first there was a pilgrimage to Beijing by Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi, and then someone fought in a private house in the downtown area in the east of the city, which was suspected to be committed by the thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society. And just last night, an earth-shattering event happened, someone actually attacked the Forbidden City, intending to assassinate the king. This series of events has made the capital now noisy, and the streets are full of patrolling soldiers and are heavily guarded.

As the most trusted person in Kangxi today, Wei Xiaobao is naturally too busy to keep his feet on the ground, and his official and private affairs are one after another. was either busy teasing Princess Jianning, as well as the two beauties of Mu Wangfu, Mu Jianping and Fang Yi, or trying to deal with the fake queen mother, and designed to kill Ruidong, the deputy head of the inner guard; either went to the palace of Prince Kang and stole a copy of the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" that everyone wanted, or was ordered to investigate the person who entered the palace to assassinate him, and went to Wu Yingxiong, gave him a dismount, and pit a lot of silver tickets; Of course, no matter how busy he was, he still had to find time to run to the Aoki Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Wei Xiaobao, under the guidance of Gao Yanchao, came to another secret stronghold of Aoki Hall in the east of the city, where Zheng Kezang and others were waiting for him, waiting for him to talk about the assassination of the palace. Regardless of whether the capital is under martial law or not, Heaven and Earth will do another major event against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and this foothold will naturally be replaced from time to time to be safe enough. As soon as Wei Xiaobao came in, he sat down at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, drank it, and drank most of the tea, before complaining indignantly: "Who am I looking to provoke whom, look at the past few days, I have been busy, my legs are thin, these gang of people who kill a thousand knives, they are idle, they are looking for ......trouble for Lao Tzu" paused, and said: "However, these guys from Mu Wangfu are really ruthless, they dared to go to Da Nei to assassinate the little emperor, they were arrested, and they also blamed Wu Sangui's old dog, and they really have their ......" Speaking of which, I couldn't help but show a little admiration in my words.

"Oh?" Zheng Kezang smiled slightly and said, "Xiaobao, let's talk about it, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Here's the thing, that night, I was just about to rest, when I heard the sound of gongs outside...... Wei Xiaobao's eyebrows danced about the assassination of Mu Wangfu that night, and he talked about it with oil and vinegar, and it was really a bit of the posture of a storyteller in a teahouse. The crowd listened interestingly, and did not interrupt him. Wei Xiaobao talked about the rise, and even explained how he saved Xia Yi under Mu Jianping's begging, how Kangxi saw at a glance that the person who assassinated him was not Wu Sangui, but Mu Wangfu, and how he went to Wu Yingxiong to give him a dismount, and even gave him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Zheng Kezang glanced at Wei Xiaobao meaningfully and asked, "Xiaobao, you just talked about Mu Jianping, the little county lord of Mu Wangfu, right?" Then can you tell the eldest brother how this Mu Jianping was caught in the palace by you? Wei Xiaobao was stunned and said, "Brother Zheng, you don't know, it was Lao Qian who hid Mu Jianping in the body of the Huadiao Poria Pig and sent it to the palace." Zheng Kezang set his eyes on Qian Laoben again, and Qian Laoben hurriedly said: "Deputy Chief Helmsman, here's the thing, the **** went back to support you, but when I saw the people of Mu Wangfu coming out of our stronghold, I mistakenly thought that they attacked our stronghold for the death of Bai Hansong, and I was really angry, so I took someone to a hiding place in Mu Wangfu's capital city, where there was only Mu Jianping at that time, so I took her back by the way, and I was afraid that it would not be safe to hide in us, so I sent her to the palace, In the hands of Lord Wei Xiang. ”

Zheng Kezang looked at the two of them with tears and laughter, and said, "You guys...... Although we are not in harmony with Mu Wangfu, in the final analysis, it is all for the sake of the plan to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, even if there is a contradiction, there is no need to make too much trouble. It's good now, you two actually captured their little county lord, hey......" Wei Xiaobao and Boss Qian looked at each other and were silent.

"Report!" At this moment, a brother in the hall ran in quickly and reported: "Deputy Chief Helmsman, Lord Wei Xiang, Mu Wangfu has just sent an invitation, inviting us to go to the banquet at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the place is in the South Bean Sprout Hutong in Chaoyang Gate. As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a big red clay gold post. It's true, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Zheng Kezang took the golden post, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "It's really that you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night, look, people will come to the door so quickly." However, you don't have to worry, I estimate that at the moment, they don't know that Mu Jianping is in our hands, and it is very likely that they want to ask us for help. Or, Mu Wangfu's assassination, several people fell into the hands of the Qing court, in this matter, if we can help them rescue people, Mu Wangfu will not only no longer pursue Bai Hansong's death, but will also be grateful to us. As he spoke, he looked at Wei Xiaobao and asked, "Xiaobao, what can you do about this matter?" ”

Wei Xiaobao said triumphantly: "Brother Zheng, I really have a way to do what you said." Yesterday, the little emperor also asked me to find a way to let go of the three people who were captured in Mu Wangfu, and then send someone to follow them to see if I could find their stronghold, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. I'm here to discuss this matter with you. "Good!" Zheng Kezang was overjoyed and said, "In this way, let's go to the Muwang Mansion later." Zheng Keshuang and Wei Xiaobao quickly discussed, and decided how to cooperate at the banquet. The rest of the people agreed in an uproar, and they all began to look forward to the next banquet.

Zheng Kezang and Wei Xiaobao, surrounded by everyone, came to Nandou Sprout Hutong, the middle gate of a large mansion was wide open, and more than ten people were well-dressed and stood outside the door to greet them. The first one was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin, heroic, clasped his fists and said: "Under the sound of the sword, welcome Lord Wei Xiang and all of you." Obviously, Zheng Kezang's identity was not guessed. Wei Xiaobao arched his hand and said, "The little grandfather is polite, I don't dare to be here." With Zheng Kezang in charge of this trip, Wei Xiaobao was even more courageous, and looked Mu Jiansheng up and down carelessly. Mu Jiansheng saw that Wei Xiaobao was so calm, his heart moved, and secretly said that Wei Xiaobao was by no means a gangster who did not know martial arts as Bai Hanfeng said, but his face was not revealed at all, and he let everyone in at the moment.

In the center of the hall, there is a table of eight immortals, draped with embroidered tables, the utensils on the table are quite exquisite, the chairs are covered with red satin, and brocade cushions are placed. Mu Jiansheng saluted thoughtfully, bowed slightly, and said, "Please take a seat with Lord Wei Xiang." With Zheng Ke hiding, Wei Xiaobao was willing to sit on the chief and said busily: "Brother Zheng, you should sit at this table." Mu Jiansheng was slightly stunned, although he had already noticed Zheng Kezang and saw that he had always been side by side with Wei Xiaobao, but he was dressed as a scholar, and thought that he was Wei Xiaobao's role as a military advisor, but now he saw that Wei Xiaobao was going to give up the chief to Zheng Kezang to sit, and then he realized that Zheng Kezang's identity was by no means ordinary, and he hurriedly gave up his hand apologetically, and asked: "I haven't asked this hero yet?" Wei Xiaobao straightened his chest and proudly introduced: "This is my eldest brother and the deputy helmsman of our Heaven and Earth Society, Zheng Kezang. ”

Mu Jiansheng was shocked, and hurriedly said: "I don't know if Deputy Chief Helmsman Zheng is in front of him, and there is a lot of negligence below, please atone for your sins." Zheng Kezang smiled indifferently and said, "The little grandfather is polite." He looked at the screen behind him and said with a smile: "Since there are still guests, it is better to sit down together." "Vice President Zheng is good at kung fu, good ears, hahaha......" accompanied by a long laugh, a tall, red-faced, sparse white beard, full of energy, bright eyes of the old man strode out from behind the screen. Mu Jiansheng hurriedly introduced: "Everyone, this is the teacher below, Liu Dahong. Everyone clasped their fists and saluted, and said in unison: "Long admiration." ”

Liu Dahong's eyes were like lightning, staring at Zheng Kezang, and said with a smile: "Heaven and Earth will be so famous recently, and it is indeed a lot of talents, Zheng Deputy Chief Helmsman, Wei Xiang Lord, is really a rare genius in the martial arts." Please be seated! It's just a few ordinary words, but the sound is like a bell, which makes everyone's ears "buzz", obviously the internal force is extremely extraordinary. Zheng Kezang still smiled, not affected by it at all, and said: "It turned out to be the 'iron-backed dragon' senior Liu in person, Kezang was rude, senior Liu first, please!" ”

"If you are a guest, please sit down first!" Liu Dahong wanted to give Zheng Kezang a dismount, and reached out to carry Zheng Kezang's arm and was about to force him on the chair. Zheng Kezang's face didn't understand, he grabbed Liu Dahong's arm with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Old timer Liu was angry with the three tyrants, rushed to kill the Qing soldiers, and his chivalrous name spread all over the world, Kezang has admired him for a long time, so let's ask Old Seniors Liu to sit down first!" As he spoke, the strong internal force poured into his arm, and slowly "helped" Liu Dahong to sit on the chair. "Good! Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager!" Liu Dahong's eyes froze, his retracted arm trembled slightly, and he praised loudly and covered it up. Zheng Kezang didn't break it, sat on the chair, and said with a smile: "Senior Liu has won the award." Everyone, don't stand, let's all sit down. Everyone sat down together, all of them were clear-eyed people, and naturally they all saw the secret contest just now, and they were all admired and shocked by Zheng Kezang's profound skills.

The servants poured wine and served the food, and the dishes were extremely rich, and everyone pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and it even seemed to be harmonious on the surface. Liu Dahong put down his wine glass, stroked his beard, and said: "Since Deputy Chief Helmsman Zheng is here, presumably in the area of Zhili in the capital, you should be the leader in the meeting." But I don't know, how to understand the entanglement between you and me? Zheng Kezang asked with a smile: "I don't know what advice Liu's predecessors have?" ”

"Paying off debts, killing people to pay for their lives, it's justified!" Bai Hanfeng, who was one of the parties involved, jumped out and said hatefully: "No matter what, my eldest brother can't die in vain!" "Yo he...... Wei Xiaobao shouted: "We are all mixed rivers and lakes, fighting is inevitable, if the skills are not as good as others, it will be endless, I don't think this rivers and lakes will be mixed, not to mention two to fight one...... Also, Brother Xu Tianchuan came back that day and was seriously injured and dying, it was my Brother Zheng who had the ability to bring him back from Lord Yama, I think your big brother Bai should be like this, you can't save it, it's because you yourself have no ability, you can also blame us? "You ......" picked up his bickering mouth, how could Bai Hanfeng be Wei Xiaobao's opponent, he was speechless by Wei Xiaobao's refutation, his face was red, and he could only look at each other angrily. Wei Xiaobao was even more unforgiving, and shouted: "What? I'm out of words. Don't think that if you have big eyes, it makes sense, I ......"

"Alright, Xiaobao!" Zheng Kezang raised his hand to stop Wei Xiaobao, otherwise he didn't know what nonsense he could say, his eyes slowly swept over the people in Mu Wangfu, and finally fell on Liu Dahong's face, and said in a deep voice: "Bai Daxia's death, we also deeply regret it, but people can't be resurrected after death, if you have to die for one life, it is absolutely impossible, it is not appropriate to settle the grievance, we will make up ......for it in other aspects" Without waiting for Zheng Kezang to finish speaking, Bai Hanfeng had already shouted: "Nonsense, this is my eldest brother's life, how do you make up for it?" ”

Zheng Kezang didn't even look at him, just stared at Liu Dahong and Mu Jiansheng, and said with a smile: "Senior Liu, little grandfather, did you only bring these friends from YN to BJ this time?" Seems like a little less, right?" Mu Jiansheng snorted coldly and asked, "Deputy Chief Helmsman Zheng, what do you mean by this?" Zheng Kezang smiled and said nothing, Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "My eldest brother Zheng doesn't mean anything else, I just think that the little grandfather has such a noble status, and when he comes to the capital, he doesn't bring more people to protect him, and if he accidentally takes it to the eagle dog of the Tartar, isn't it a big mistake?" Mu Jiansheng raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "The eagle dog of the Tartars wants to take me down, but it's not so easy. ”

Wei Xiaobao said with a hippie smile: "Yes, yes, yes, the little grandfather is strong in martial arts, and he is not afraid." I see, not only the little grandfather, but also the friends of Mu Wangfu, their martial arts are extremely high, like 'sweeping thousands of armies' and 'mountains and flowing water'. It's a pity, no matter how powerful it is, it's useless, you are not familiar with life in this capital, and you don't see it very clearly in the middle of the night, so you actually wandered to the Forbidden City in a daze, hehe......" Liu Dahong made a color to Mu Jiansheng and asked, "So what?" Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "I have a friend who is running an errand in the Forbidden City, and told me that there are portals and palaces in the Forbidden City, but there are so many of them, he has been in the Forbidden City for many years, and he will get lost if he is not careful, not to mention people who have never entered the Forbidden City." Also, my friend told me that a few assassins were caught in the palace last night, and they were recognized as the subordinates of the little grandfather of Mu Wangfu......"

"What?" Mu Jiansheng was shocked, his right hand trembled, and the wine glass in his hand fell, and with a "clang", it shattered into several pieces. Liu Dahong's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Little grandfather, you are not very drunk, even if you are happy to see your friends in the Heaven and Earth Society, don't drink so much." Look, let the friends of the Heaven and Earth Society laugh more. Then, he hugged his fists to Zheng Kezang, Wei Xiaobao and others to apologize: "My little grandfather is not strong enough to drink, and I ask you friends not to be surprised." Mu Jiansheng also made a look of being overwhelmed, and everyone didn't break it, and they said continuously: "No." ”
