CHAPTER XIII
A baker's dozen
The front yard was in a commotion, but there were few people in the backyard, a few junior disciples walked through the courtyard, saw Shi Zhi walking around the corridor, and did not dare to go in front of Huabao Gate, a few junior disciples walked by, and loudly beckoned Shi Zhi to the front yard to eat and drink, at this time Qu Zhenhua had been beaten away, and the martial arts heroes said that the famous Demon Sect elders were all beaten away, so they were proud and felt that the Demon Sect was leveled, only between talking and laughing, and they all made suggestions, so the banquet was even more enthusiastic.
Shi Zhi thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind, opened the door of Huabao's room, and saw Huabao's graceful figure sitting in front of the window, but there was no mirror on it.
Hua Bao was cut on the face by the Qin bandits' last few knives, and there was no good meat on his face, like a bowl of pork belly, red and white, if it weren't for her beautiful voice, no one would have seen this girl, she was a beautiful girl two months ago, and she was a beauty who was a beggar who broke through the threshold of the Bashan faction.
Xie Yu glanced at the two of them, between the past two months, after Hua Bao came back, he was taken care of by Xie Yu, Xie Yu was careful and gentle, and it was most appropriate for her to take care of Hua Bao. But Shi Zhi thought that Xie Yu was too beautiful, and he was afraid that Hua Bao would be sad when he saw it, so he went to ask Liang Fang again, and finally Liang Fang agreed.
For Hua Bao, the destruction of his appearance is not the most terrible, when Xiang Dushi treated Hua Bao the day before, he found that Hua Bao actually had a child, but Hua Bao didn't know who the child was, maybe it was Qiu Yutian, maybe it was an ordinary demon cultist. Several senior sisters persuaded Hua Bao to drugged it out, but Hua Bao couldn't deny it and didn't answer.
Shi Zhi has not dared to meet Hua Bao during this period, and today everyone is busy with Hu Yida's marriage, so Shi Zhi came to see Hua Bao. These days, Shi Zhi has been outside Huabao's door.
At this time, the injuries on Shi Zhi's body were completely healed, and he couldn't see any injuries, and there was a broken stone, so naturally he would not be injured.
Liang Fang saw that neither of them spoke, so he said, "Senior Brother Shi, I'll go out first." "Put the light down and turn around and go out.
Chu Xiang'er pulled Liang Fang outside the door and said, "Senior sister, what do you think Shi Zhi wants? Liang Fang said angrily: "Your little children, don't care about this." β
Xie Yu also quietly stepped aside at this time, and said softly: "Senior Brother Shi's family is a big family, and his parents didn't agree with him learning martial arts at first, but in the end, he knelt down and begged to be able to enter the Bashan faction to learn martial arts. Later, Senior Brother Shi Zhi met Senior Sister Hua, and Senior Brother Shi finally persuaded his parents that he was about to get married, but something happened. β
It turned out that Shi Zhiben was born in a scholarly family, his father was a lifter, his brother was a showman, and his uncle was a martial artist and a dart game. How can such a family marry a woman who has been defiled by others?
Shi Zhi looked at Hua Bao for a long time, the lights flickered, Shi Zhi's face changed for a long time, and after a long time, he made up his mind and said, "Xiao Rong, I will go back to my parents and say that we will get married on the same day." β
Hua Bao glanced at Shi Zhi, but he was silent, and said coldly: "Do you pity me?"
Shi Zhi was silent, at this time Hua Bao didn't dare to go out on top of Hu Yida's wedding, Guy didn't want his appearance to scare others, Hua Bao was as ugly as a yaksha at this time.
Hua Bao said coldly: "Are you worried that others will say that you are ruthless, that others will say that your fiancΓ©e is insulted and you don't want her, and that other people's brothers and sisters will say that you only value hue, so you married me, yes or no." β
Shi Zhi bowed his head and said in a low voice: "I don't remember that you suffered the humiliation of Qiu Heaven, it was not your fault. β
Hua Bao said: "You don't care, you don't care...... But I have to care, I care about the way you see me, I care about you kneeling before Qiu Heaven, I care about you taking pity on me. What I care about the most is that what you said to Li Qunshan that day, if you don't provoke the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect will not come to the door, I am a woman, I am more ambitious than you, even if my Huabao is ruined and insulted, I have never said such a thing, I have a grudge, and I will revenge myself, I will not be so ambitious, you are a soft egg. β
Shi Zhi listened to half of the salary, and said bitterly: "I just want you to be good." β
Hua Bao wrapped his face towel around him and said coldly: "I Hua don't need you to be pitiful, you can go, don't come to see me in the future, there is nothing to say between us." β
Xie Yu said to Liang Fang: "Senior Brother Shi is not that ruthless person, I heard that Senior Brother Shi almost drove his parents out of the house for this family business. β
Liang Fang sneered: "It's just a show, Bao'er is like this, she really got married, do you think there will be any good results, Brother Shi still has to comfort his conscience." β
At this time, the door squeaked open, and Shi Zhi walked out, his face pale, and he didn't look at the two of them, and went straight to the front yard.
In the room, Hua Bao threw himself on the table and cried, but he covered his mouth hard, and a person stood out from behind, with a thin body, and it was Xiang Broken Stone. At this time, Hu Yida married a wife in the front yard, and he didn't go to Broken Stone, only waiting for procedures such as drinking tea in the backyard, and he was also worried that Hua Bao would not be able to think about it. In the past few days, Hua Bao committed suicide several times, but Xiang Dushi was saved.
Xiang Broken Stone said to Hua Bao: "Rong'er, do you have to give birth?"
Hua Bao nodded, and said in a throat voice: "Master is above, the apprentice has decided, he will give birth to this child, and the apprentice will give birth because the apprentice must remember, remember this hatred, this hatred, and make himself not forget, not to feel sorry for him." β
Xiang Dushi was silent and said, "Just follow your surname Huang." The figure melted into the darkness.
There were no more people in the banquet.
Yan Fangwu stepped forward and patted Hu Yida on the shoulder, and said, "Take care of my sister-in-law, she has suffered a lot of anger at home, don't listen to other people's nonsense, she is not that kind of person." β
Hu Yida said: "Brother Yan rest assured, she will definitely make her rich and prosperous all her life." β
At this time, Hu Yida and Yan Fang Yue of the Yan family got married, even if Li Qunshan rushed back, he couldn't get back the position of the big disciple, and the Bashan faction and the Yan family became in-laws, so Hu Yida was definitely the next head of the Bashan faction. This is the result of Hu Yida's painstaking management.
Hu Yida's internal strength, how can he do anything with a little wine power, he is now moving towards a new house, the Yan family is Fang Yue, the second room is out, and the Yan family is extremely powerful, and the Yan family's room has more officialdom, and the second room is in charge of financial power.
A disciple stepped forward, and it was a disciple who was very close to Hu Yida,ββ Xue Chuanshi. Xue Chuanshi stepped forward and said: "Senior brother, Miss Nayan, no-it's my sister-in-law, I'm afraid that my reputation is a little unpleasant, my sister-in-law has some old things about me, and I have found out one by one these days." β
Hu Yida glanced at Xue Chuanshi and said: "Isn't it just that you have raised a few men?" I also heard that Yan Fang Yue and the uncle in the clan are not clear, do you think I don't know?"
Xue Chuanshi was puzzled and asked, "Why did the senior brother still marry this mother-in-law?" οΌβ
Hu Yida said with a smile: "Senior brother, our master, and our senior brother, there is a problem, that is, too serious, too serious, junior brother, remember, woman, if you don't treat her as a thing, she will treat you as a thing, our master, didn't you suffer this loss? Let that lady of Wu Shanzhang play around, in fact, she can't pass her own level......
Hu Yida said to Xue Chuanshi again: "Xiao Shi, I just use the Yan family, and the Yan family only uses my Bashan faction, just like a pig, and it doesn't take much material to marry, why should I care about how many men she used to have, but Xiao Shi, you have to be clear, if she dares to attract bees and butterflies in the Bashan faction in the future, that Bashan disciple just went to provoke her, I will kill whom, you let this go, let all the disciples know, the dignified head of the Bashan faction can not lose this face." As for the previous lovers or something, if there is still contact, kill it, the man who was raised before, if he doesn't appear in front of him, it's just that he just appeared in front of me, it's death, rest assured, the Yan family is supportive of this matter. β
Xue Chuanshi responded: "Got it, senior brother." β
Hu Yida looked at the night and said, "I still have to practice, you can go back." β
Xue pierced the stone and went away.
Hu Yida did not go to his new house.
The words just now have enough internal force to be practical, not only can they be heard by Xue Chuanshi, but even Yan Fang Yue in the new house can also be heard. It's just that Hu Yida's internal skills are profound, and this voice is condensed and sounded, and others stand in front of him, and they can't hear what Hu Yida is saying?
This is not only what Li Guantao said, but also what Hu Yida said to Fang Yue in the room.
Hu Yida turned around, walked to an empty room, and began a day of meditation and qi practice, Hu Yida is not only talented and smart, but also extremely hard-working, for more than 20 years, no night has broken his habit of meditation, Hu Yida is thoughtful, many years ago, martial arts have been extraordinary, but Hu Yida has always forbearance, never to grab the limelight, cover because there is no need, if Hu Yida really wants to keep Qu Zhenhua today, Qu Zhenhua will not be able to run away.
"Tomorrow, I can accept disciples, it's time for me to take the exam and cultivate more people who can listen to me, Luo Baizhi Yihui is not a big problem, although Li Guantao is good friends with Li Qunshan, but he has always been timid, don't worry, Liang Fang has always been strong, useless and harmless, and there is no need to worry, you have to use Shi Zhi well, there is a lot of force behind Shi Zhi......"
Hu Yida thought so.
The night was getting darker, and the noisy day had fallen silent.
It has been nearly three years since Li Qunshan went down to Bashan and traveled with Hu Shiling, and in these three years, Hu Yida was in charge of the Bashan faction, married Yan Fangyue, and got the financial support of the Yan family, recruited a large number of new disciples, and the Bashan faction was prosperous.
Wu Shanzhang has been in charge of the two lakes for nearly three years, these three years, the two lakes have nothing to do, the power of the demon sect in the two lakes has not been restored, but the Shandong exiles have risen again, this matter is very big, the head of the exiles calls himself Xiao Ming Wang, named Wang Kaiping, is an important figure in the demon sect, this recruitment and then rebellion, and the chaos is greater than the last time.
Wu Zhangzhang did not find out the silver two hidden by the Demon Sect, and it was rumored in the court that Wu Zhangzhang privately swallowed this than silver, and Wu Zhangzhang had to hand over the felony Qiu Defeat Heaven to the Shendu in order to defend himself.
At this time, on the way to Luoyang Shendu, a team of officers and soldiers was escorting a person, and they were heading towards Shendu, this person had a horizontal face and white hair, it was the Demon Sect's known as the elder of the human face and beast heart, Qiu Yutian, at this time, Qiu Yutian's limbs were tied to iron chains, and the person was also in the car, but there was still a fine light in his eyes from time to time, and there was a little bit of the majesty of the Demon Sect elder in his body. The sergeant beside the car hated this man's evil deeds, and he kept whipping Qiu Yutian every day for three years.
The Demon Sect has a large number of secrets, all of which are in the hands of elders such as Qiu Yutian, and it is the idea of Wu Shanzhang and the others to stake Qiu Yutian into the Divine Capital and torture the secret of the Demon Sect out, which is a great achievement.
A line of officers and soldiers are vigilant and staring in all directions, this prisoner is extremely important, the escort route is extremely secret, the selected officers and soldiers are Wu Zhangzhang from his own guards selected loyal and brave people, at this time there is a fake Wu Zhangzhang imprisoned in the two lakes Xingyuan, the two lakes in the recent three prison robbery incidents, all in order to rescue Qiu Zhitian, and Wu Zhangzhang in order to ask where millions of silver cars are hidden, countless times to Qiu Zhitian tortured, but Qiu Zhitian is the old Jianghu in the old rivers and lakes, not to say a word to kill, and at this time, in order to show merit, to deal with the pressure on the court and the central government, can only be put into the Shendu firstγ If not, Wu Shanzhang would definitely wait for the results of his own trial before sending Qiu to the sky.
There was a sound of hooves ahead, and a group of men and horses came this way.
The leading general said loudly: "All the sergeants are unsheathed. The arrow is wound, and do not let go. "This route is extremely secretive, all the officers and soldiers do not go to the official post, there are not many people on the road, generally speaking, there will be a large number of people coming.
The people approached, and the general who led the team looked wide-eyed, only to see that the figure on the opposite side was clear, the other party was dressed in brocade, the top of the complement was a beast, wearing a purple and black cloak, wearing iron armor, and stepping on red boots. There were about fifty people in the group.
The person who came shouted: "I am Tan Zhengkun, the former general of the Southern Ya, why don't you salute me when you see me?"
Among the leading generals is a general, just a general of the local garrison, and a general of the capital, not of the same level, looking at the other party's clothes and armor, even the war horse sitting down is a war horse raised by the imperial horse supervisor, and the officers and soldiers behind him are also full of official spirit, and they are by no means imitated by the characters in the rivers and lakes. οΌβ
The man stopped the horse, and the sergeants behind also stopped the horse, and Tan Zhengkun, who took the lead, said: "The Holy Decree that the Demon Sect Demon Qiu Defeating Heaven will be brought back to the Divine Capital by the guards, and there is no need to hand it over to the Criminal Department." β
The guards are for the emperor to find out the news, except for the secret armed forces of dissidents, is the selected pawn of the Southern Ya soldiers, often do not go through the three law divisions, but directly take people, as long as this set is not put on the officials who are born in the scientific examination, if it is a Jinshi from the scientific examination, but it is not possible to take people like this.
The general who led the team hesitated and said: "This person has a lot to do, Lord Wu has confessed to hand it over to Lord Xingshui, and my lord will take out the near token and hand it over, so that we can release him." β
The general said impatiently: "You are optimistic, take out something from your arms, and hand it to the leading general who knelt forward." The general who led the team was just from an ordinary background, and he was far from daring to raise his head in front of this powerful soldier, so he used his hand to pick it up, but he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and a long knife went straight into his chest. The leading general raised his head vigorously, but saw the cavalry on both sides rushing from behind, slashing at the soldiers on his side.
"No, they're demonsβ" Before he could finish speaking, the knife was drawn from his chest, and the general who led the team fell to the ground without closing his eyes, blood flying all over the ground.
Originally, I was prepared, but when the other party appeared in front of him in armor, he saw that it was an officer and soldier, and the real officers and soldiers who were guarding the sky relaxed a little, and when they heard that it was the guard, few people dared to be suspicious, who dared to offend this group of masters, they were the magnates of the magnates, that is, several ministers in the court, and they had to speak politely when they saw these emperor's eagle dogs, and these little soldiers.
By the time the other side came to the front, the real officers and soldiers could no longer organize into a formation. Everyone was at a loss, some wanted to kill Qiu Yutian first, some people fought with each other with knives, and some people wanted to run. And on the side of the Demon Sect, the martial arts are strong, and this kind of chaotic battle is exactly what the people of the Demon Sect want.
From time to time, Qiu Yutian felt that the shackles on his body were cut off with a knife. At this time, Qiu Yutian opened his eyes. said lightly: "How can I let you come, how much effort did it take for you to go undercover to enter Nanya, and it was used to save your son, although you are my son, I don't remember that you miss your father so much?"
At this time, there were dead corpses on the ground, and everyone in the Demon Sect was cleaning up the dead corpses on the ground, and if there were no dead ones, they would add a knife. These officers and soldiers would never have thought that the route was so secretive that it would still be known to people.
Tan Zhengkun sneered: "Old thing, why bother to be amorous, do you think that I am your son, so I took this big risk to save you, to be honest, I would prefer you to die here, but the Dharma King has a big plan, so that Wu Shanshan lost someone, and we are better to sit on his sins." β
Qiu Yutian's eyes flashed and said, "You are here to get Wu Shanzhang?"
Tan Zhengkun smiled gloomily: "Zhengda is bright, the emperor is very dissatisfied with Wu Zhangzhang's failure to get the silver mine this time, and he is also counting on using this silver to save the disaster in Shandong. β
Tan Zhengkun said: "Wu Zhangzhang stepped down, and the next step is better." β
Qiu Yutian said: "What to do next?"
Tan Zhengkun glanced at it and said, "When do you like to ask nonsense, and go back." β
A few demons held Qiu Yutian and lived far away, and next, it was to send Qiu Yutian to Tianshan, this Qiu Yutian was the owner of the millions of taels of silver, Tan Zhengkun knew that he couldn't ask, so he didn't ask, Tan Zhengkun straightened his clothes and armor, and said to the next head: "Have you taken care of it? After taking care of it, we will turn back immediately, and we will return to the two lakes in two days, which should not be discovered by our guards." β
The next knight said: "Don't worry, my lord, there is no one alive." β
Tan Zhengkun said with a smile: "Wu Zhangzhang couldn't figure it out even if he broke his brain, it was the emperor's guards who killed the officers and soldiers who escorted him, and I didn't expect that his route would let me know it early in the morning, and rob Qiu Zhitian, and the Holy Sect's plan for several years began today." β
The next knight said: "My lord, Elder Qu Zhenhua has arrived, and I want to meet my lord." β
Tan Zhengkun smiled: "It's been a long time since I saw Uncle Qu, it's been more than ten years. Now, we are about to plan something big together. β
When the next group of people sorted out the formation, this group, the group of people turned their horses to the turnaround, and escorted the corpses of Qiu Defeat's officers and soldiers to the side of the road, and the wind blew, and the flag rolled upside down and flew down the hillside.
Within the two lakes of Qincha, Wu Shanshan sat alone in the hall, and the first person knelt on the ground, and said to Wu Shanzhang: "My lord, the small one is in the Pai Gang, that Shen Yilong has been very close to the Demon Sect and the demon in the past two days, Shen Yilong often complains about the adult's boat strategy, and wants to use money to get through the relationship, listening to the words of the gang Shen Yilong sent a powerful person to Beijing and wanted to take the door of Wu Qinye, it is said that Wu Qinye has already accepted the heavy gift of the Pai Gang. β
Ou Hanbai said in a low voice: "My lord, don't worry, the strategy of this ship is a national policy set by the saint, and Prince Wu doesn't dare to do anything on it." β
Wu Shanzhang said: "Shen Yilong and I are not of the same heart, what can I do, but I hate that Shen Yilong but I don't know, if it comes down like this, it will only lose both, and the Pai Gang will perish from then on, and the court will not be able to get a cent of money in this water transportation." β
Ou Hanbai said: "My lord, how do you say this, it's a big deal that we can support a new person to be the leader of the platoon gang, as long as we can seriously implement the general policy every year." The court's income is not a lot. β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "Shen Yilong is all nonsense, it is impossible to return to the previous situation, in the past, hundreds of taels of water transportation every year, let the Pai Gang swallow alone, this million taels of silver, is it a small Pai Gang can swallow it?
Ou Hanbai said with a smile: "My lord said that he is joking, Pai gang a gang in the rivers and lakes, how can He De swallow so much, not to mention the court, it is all the big families in the local area, other gangs in the rivers and lakes, the Demon Sect, but if there is a little bit of power, I am afraid that it will be hot, this is more than a big money, the Pai gang has no background and no power, and it will not take a few strokes to make people swallow the bones." β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "It's just that Shen Yilong doesn't know, in the first two years, Shen Yilong went to the Bashan faction every year to give gifts to Xiang Broken Stone, and did things under the sign of the Bashan faction, but he didn't know that the reputation of his Bashan faction was used, what did Shen Yilong send to Broken Stone? β
Ou Hanbai said: "My lord is saying that Shen Yilong took advantage of the reputation of the Bashan faction, and the Bashan faction actually didn't get half of the profit in the water transportation, so Xiang Lao'er was used in a daze and didn't know it." β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "This official and Xiang Duanshi are young friends, who is he, I don't know? He has extremely high martial arts but does not use it to do things for the court, and he has the ability to be the best in the world but does not use it, this reputation is used by Shen Yilong, a villain." β
Ou Hanbai said again: "This is not a way after all, I am afraid that sooner or later people will know that something has really happened, but Xiang Dushi will not stand up for the platoon." β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "That's right, as soon as the Demon Sect is forced, then Shen Yilong didn't surrender immediately, it's ridiculous that he still wants to surrender and be protected." It's really dying and not knowing it, and now, I still want to swallow the previous profits. β
Ou Hanbai said: "My lord, let's kill such villains, as long as you give an order, someone below will naturally do it, then Shen Yilong has an eight-year-old son, who is just used to be the helper." β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "It's a pity, it's too late, the group of people who are dragging their feet in the court can't see others making great contributions, this time under the party struggle, I'm afraid that the gang will die." β
Ou Hanbai continued: "Are you worried that the platoon gang will make something happen at this juncture, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the ears of the saint?"
Wu Zhangzhang said in a deep voice: "The means of party struggle are naturally all-encompassing, after the official is dismissed, the newly appointed official, I am afraid that Wang Siyuan, as soon as this person comes, the gang must die, and Shen Yilong will die without a place to be buried." β
Ou Hanbai said: "Don't worry, my lord, this first season of the ship has received 300,000 taels of silver, all of which have been escorted to Beijing, and the saint is bound to be happy, even if Wang Siyuan does not dare to lose a point after taking office, this is the virtue and politics of adults, Wang Siyuan and his group will not be able to attack this no matter what." β
Wu Shanzhang also smiled and said: "The official wishes that the straw bag was on the table to participate in the official, in this matter, whoever is against the strategy of the ship is the enemy of the saint, but now, Wang Siyuan said in front of the saint that the official has eaten too much, and the profit of the ship has been eaten by the official, and only thirty percent has been handed over, although the official has embezzled a part of the dots, but he has to do it for him, Wang Siyuan comes, and he can hand over 800,000 taels per quarter. It's really a pretense to say, the words of the woman in the boudoir, he doesn't have to go up and down, even if he turns it all in, I'm afraid it won't be this number. β
Ou Hanbai said: "I'm only afraid of the emperor." β
Wu Zhangzhang continued: "What the official thinks about is just one word - money, now Shandong is in urgent need of money, but the treasury can't take out so much, and in half a month, the disaster of the displaced people in Shandong will be more serious, and the time will come." β
Ou Hanbai said: "The villain is willing to go to the platoon gang once." Let that Shen Yilong be safe. β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "The most important thing now is to let the local toast be safe. If something happens to Shandong, the two lakes will make trouble again, and then the two lakes will not only not be able to reduce the pressure on Shandong, but will also devour the national strength on this side. That's the scene that the official doesn't want to see, and you invite the five toasts surnamed Luxury, An, Xiang, Hu, and Yi to enjoy the new drama from Beijing tonight, as long as the five largest toasts can't be messed up, then the two lakes to the land of Bashu can't be messed up. β
District Hanbai should claim to be.
Wu Shanzhang said: "Some time ago, it was too strong, so these toasts were dissatisfied with the court, and now it is time to be gentle." β
Ou Hanbai said softly: "My lord, General Zeng reported that the silver mine will not be able to produce silver in a few years, and the demon sect demons will seriously damage it. It will take at least a year to re-produce silver. β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "What about the three million taels of silver that were hidden by the demon sect demons? These three million taels can't be transported to the two lakes, how can they not be found now." β
Ou Hanbai said: "My lord, the affairs of the rivers and lakes, it is best for the people of the rivers and lakes to solve the problem." Although General Zeng is a fierce general in the army, he is not as good as the people in the rivers and lakes for the affairs of the rivers and lakes. β
Wu Zhangzhang said: "You said the Bashan faction. β
Ou Hanbai said: "The villain is talking about one person, and the Bashan faction is already different from before. β
Wu Shanzhang said: "Li Qunshan." β
Ou Hanbai said: "It is the first nemesis of the Demon Sect, Li Qunshan who broke the sky with the sword, Li Qunshan is not only strong in martial arts, but it is rare that this person is not a personal enmity with the Demon Sect, but in the past few years, this person has disappeared, and it is not easy to find,"
Wu Zhangzhang stroked his beard and said, "It's time to give them a little sweetness." β
