Chapter 225: Raid on Sanzhai (3)
After receiving Yongqi Gege's flying pigeon message, Prince Shuo didn't dare to have any slackness, and immediately took his daughter's message to find Qianlong, who was about to set off on light riding to Crouching Tiger Cliff to meet Fang Xiaoyu and others.
Knowing that Fang Xiaoyu and others could take the Crouching Tiger Cliff so quickly, although Qianlong was a little surprised, but he quickly felt that it was reasonable again, you must know that they have top masters like Han Wuniang and Wudang Baimei Daoren sitting around them, how Han Wuniang's martial arts are, although he doesn't know, but who Baimei is, he knows it clearly, that is a generation of martial arts myths in the rivers and lakes, he was originally with Shaolin Zhishan, The Southern Boxing King Bai Taiguan and the groundbreaking Ordo are called the Four Heavenly Pillars by the people in the rivers and lakes, but since the Southern Boxing King Bai Taiguan retired to the rivers and lakes, Shaolin is good and passing, Ordo does not appear in the rivers and lakes, Wudang Baimei is regarded by those Jianghu people as the first person in today's rivers and lakes, a new generation of martial arts mythology, and Baimei Taoist people are indeed worthy of this title, it is reported that the congenital Wuxiang Gang Qi is the only one in the Daomen that can compete with Shaolin's Jingang is not bad magic skills, but these two exercises are the most difficult exercises in the martial arts, it is said that in addition to Shaolin and Wudang faction of the founding patriarch Dharma, It is said that once these two exercises are practiced, they can make the practitioner's body break through the existing limitations, and reach the point where the axe can not be injured, and the cold and heat can not invade, and even the longevity will be infinitely extended, according to the records of relevant literature, Zhang Sanfeng, the patriarch of the Wudang faction, lived to be two hundred and eighteen years old, and in his twilight fashion can carry a heavy burden when the mountains and mountains, walking like flying, and is called a living fairy by the locals, and Zhu Yuanzhang, After learning of this, Zhu Di, the two male lords, sent envoys to Wudang Mountain many times, gave Wudang the title of honor, and enshrined Zhang Sanfeng as a true person to protect the country, the purpose of which was to summon him to Beijing to inquire about the way of immortality.
Qianlong is a generation of masters, for the Taoist rumors of immortality, feathering into immortal art he himself is resolutely disbelieving, you must know that since ancient times, there has never been an immortal emperor in this world, thousands of years, there has not been a real feather of any emperor has ever ascended, on the contrary, there are many wise monarchs in history who are obsessed with the art of practicing Dan, In order to pursue immortality, excessive swallowing of the so-called elixir, are planted on this one after another, but he himself is still convinced of the Taoist health preservation technique, in the historical record, many Taoist masters have lived past the age of 100, many people in the age of eighty or ninety, but can still walk in the mountains, carry the weight and walk, especially the prime, walking like flying, is called the land immortal, although Qianlong does not believe in what immortality, Feathering into the art of immortals, but if he can live for a few more decades, he himself has absolutely no opinion, so when he learned that the Baimei Taoist was called a land immortal by the locals, he personally sent Wudang a honorific title, and made him a national teacher, hoping that he could enter Beijing to thank him and talk with him about the Taoist health preservation technique. But who would have thought that people would not give him the face of the king at all, and directly passed the position of Wudang to his nephew Feng Daodao.
This is Qianlong, if you change to Yongzheng, who is very thoughtful, there must be no good fruit of the Wudang faction to eat, although Qianlong did not bother with Wudang in the end, it is inevitable that there is still gas in this heart, but you are angry in your heart and you are helpless to take people like this kind of worldly master, you can't always because people refuse to obey the edict, just order to destroy the Wudang faction, the Wudang faction is not an ordinary Jianghu sect, but for hundreds of years, in the Central Plains Taoist Niu Er exists, its status is equivalent to Shaolin in Buddhism in the Middle Earth, Shaolin he has offended Buddhism, if even Wudang is destroyed, then Buddhism and Taoism He will basically offend the light, God knows what those historians will criticize him like a hundred years later, you must know that he is determined to be a perfect old man in history, surpassing the existence of the monarchs of previous dynasties, even if it is not for anything else, but for the reputation of the thousand years behind him, he has to endure it honestly, so after a long time, the matter of Bai Mei's refusal to obey the edict has faded in his heart.
Although Bai Mei's refusal to obey the edict is diluted, it has already happened, and you can't be as if he doesn't exist, so when Qianlong heard the name Bai Mei, Qianlong was still quite unhappy in his heart, this time he followed Prince Shuo out to suppress the bandits, and he didn't say goodbye to Bai Mei and compete, so after reading Yongqi Gege's biography, he threw the letter aside: "What do you think about this!"
Prince Shuo thought for a moment and said, " Baimei's martial arts are the first in the world, with him by Fang Xiaoyu and Prince Jia's side, the emperor doesn't need to worry about their safety at all, if he can't even maintain the safety of so many young people, then he, the world's number one master, is too wet, but in this way, our thinking of suppressing bandits must be adjusted, with a master like Baimei, the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road can't stop their footsteps of suppressing bandits at all, so this king thinks that it is easy to take down Crouching Tiger Cliff, but I am afraid that Fang Xiaoyu is likely to be empty-eyed, if it is replaced by this king, I will naturally strike while the iron is hot, and strive to take down a few more puffs of smoke and dust before Baimei's identity is exposed。 ”
Qianlong agreed: "Uncle Hu Tuhuang means that Xiaoyu will make rapid progress in the matter of suppressing bandits?"
"The emperor is wise," said Prince Shuo, " There are white eyebrows, it is not enough to worry about exterminating the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road, this king is in the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road, only the sky can cause a little trouble to the white eyebrows, and the other dozen roads are tied together, and it is not enough for him to push horizontally, but the problem is that the bandits are different from the rivers and lakes, not to subdue the other party or slaughter them with a knife, you still have to deal with the aftermath of the bandits, it is reported that there are a total of more than 400 bandits on the Crouching Tiger Cliff, and the aftermath is not done well, so it is easy to attack, it is easy to make a mess, you think about the hundreds of bandits once they are not handled well, it is not a trivial matter, you say that you can't slaughter all the bandits in an ancient way, If you slaughter all these people, if so, the image of Mingjun that your old man has built up with great difficulty among the people will all collapse, so we have to suppress this bandit, and we have to help him do a good job in the aftermath. ”
Qianlong bowed his head, this is also what he is worried about: "Tell everyone to drive lightly and speed up, since it is a bandit, how can it be so slow, and after two days, everyone must rush to Crouching Tiger Cliff." ”
Then Qianlong's order was given, and the speed of this bandit team was obviously faster.
When they accelerated their speed and marched towards the Crouching Tiger Cliff, the Crouching Tiger Cliff had calmed down, although there were still hundreds of bandits on the cliff, and they had no choice but to have their own bosses already captured, so they naturally couldn't afford to have any thoughts of resistance. The disposal of these people is also very simple, Fang Xiaoyu directly asked people to give all the acupoints of these people, and then watched them in the dungeon in the back mountain, guarded by the masters of King Shuo's Mansion and Fang Xiaoyu's brothers in turn, just wait for Prince Shuo and his party to arrive, just stuff it into their hands and forget it, as for Prince Shuo's handling of these people, it is none of his business.
After doing this, he took Yokoyama Sakurako, Yongqi Gege, and Nishizawa Hidemi directly to the warehouse where the bandits were hoarding supplies.
Although Crouching Tiger Cliff is only the outermost and most inconspicuous road of the smoke and dust of the Seventeenth Road, they have hoarded a lot of grain, mountain goods, medicinal materials, commercial goods, gold and silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings over the years, not to mention anything else, the hoarding of grain in the warehouse alone is as much as more than 500 stones, which is enough for hundreds of people in their cottage to eat for several years. As for the value of those antique jade, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, Fang Xiaoyu has no bottom, but he knows that they are very valuable, but how much they can be worth, he doesn't know, you must know that he is not a jewelry connoisseur, he has to be evaluated by experts to know, so he directly asked Prince Shuo's master to directly seal these things.
Although he is not interested in some antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, but Yokoyama Sakurako is different, when he noticed Yokoyama Sakurako, Yokoyama Sakurako was fascinated by a calligraphy and painting.
"Looks like you're good at calligraphy and painting?"
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu, Yongqi Gege, and Nishizawa Hidemi coming over, Yokoyama Sakurako put down the calligraphy and painting in a sneering manner: "I'm just looking at it casually." ”
"Duplicity!" Yongqi Gege directly stuffed the painting into her arms: "Since you have seen it, you can take it directly." ”
"Is this okay?"
Sakurako Yokoyama was visibly hesitant.
Yongqi Gege pouted: "You're too hypocritical, if you put me along, I'll take it away immediately, and the calligraphy and paintings here are not less, even if you take a few more, no one knows, and besides, we worked hard to fight the bandits, not to make a little money, since the bandits are taken, don't treat yourself well, aren't you sorry for yourself, no, I always like antique jade," While speaking, Yongqi Gege took a pair of valuable jade bracelets from the pile of antique jade, put them on his wrist and shook them in front of Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, just like a child offering treasures: "Beautiful, Xiaoyu?"
Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "Pretty is beautiful, but I'm afraid it's not good for you to take things away directly, you must know that many things here are stolen by bandits, if the owner comes to the door, isn't this a good thing?"
Yongqi Gege said disdainfully: "Who dares to ask me Yongqi to ask for something, but you have been in the warehouse for so long, have you found all the ingredients and bases for cooking hot pot?"
Fang Xiaoyu raised the cloth bag in his hand and said: "I have already found all the things, I thought that some ingredients in this cottage are not easy to find, but what I didn't think was that there are really a lot of good things in this warehouse, in addition to seaweed, kelp, sea cucumber, lobster, shark fin, yellow croaker, abalone These rare seafood, even ginseng, tiger bones These precious yam materials are available, I turned around and stewed all these as the base soup, and invited everyone to eat ginseng and tiger bone seafood hot pot at night, which can be regarded as compensating for everyone's rush for days without white and black." ”
As soon as he heard about the food, Yongqi Gege became very excited: "Do you want to help?"
Hearing Yongqi Gege's words, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but twitch her mouth, this girl obviously wanted to eat secretly, and said that she was helping: "Help or forget it, it's enough to have Sakura and Xiumei to help." ”
Yongqi Gege raised his eyebrows: "Look down on me, don't you?"
"So what do you do, do you slaughter chickens or fish?"
"How cruel is it to slaughter chickens and fish?"
"But when you eat fish and chicken, you don't necessarily have anything unbearable, last time you tore off the two chicken thighs and ate a soup drench. ”
"Isn't it just that I ate your two chicken legs, how long has it been, now you still remember the stingy ghost, I won't tell you, Brother Yongyan is here, I'll go to say hello to him." ”
As she spoke, she had already run towards the door, and as she ran over, Fang Xiaoyu had already seen Yongyan who was coming in from outside with Li Yong.
