Chapter 3 Dinner Planning
"But ^ this matter is very important, when are you ready to attack?" Lu Tong asked.
Liu Chengzhang, the master of Qianyang Hall, said: "This sect has contacted the Jiangnan "Heaven and Earth Society" to decide that tomorrow will start in the first month of tomorrow
Lu Tong shook his head and said: "Such a major event is by no means child's play, and it must occupy the right time and place to succeed in one fell swoop." ”
Lin Qing asked, "I don't know if the old man has any advice?"
Lu Tong replied: "I don't dare to give advice, but everyone is in the same vein as martial arts, I have a good word, I don't know if you can listen to it?"
Everyone hurriedly stood up, and Lin Qing said, "I am willing to listen to the teachings of my predecessors,"
Lu Tong pondered for a moment and asked, "Let's not talk about the "White Spear Tai Sui" Gao Shijie, but as for one of the "Four King Kongs" under his seat, are you sure to defeat them?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions were gloomy, and they bowed their heads and were silent, for a long time, Lin Qing hugged his fists and said rudely: "What the old-timers said is very reasonable, but since ancient times, those who have become great things have all been slashed and killed, and they have died for a lifetime.
Lu Tong waved his hand again and again and said: "No, no, no, a gentleman can outwit but not take it hard, don't make too many senseless sacrifices, there is a God-given opportunity right now, you can get twice the result with half the effort, why turn a blind eye"
Liu Chengzhang was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”
Lu Tong stopped talking, reached out and took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Lin Qing, and said, "This is what I found in Prince Cheng's Mansion last night."
Lin Qing opened it and saw that it was a secret letter sent by Prince Cheng Yongying to Chengde, which roughly meant that he told the head of Rehe in Chengde that he would strengthen defense measures in the near future and prepare for this year's Mulan Autumn Festival. It turned out that after the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, he would often go to the Mulan paddock in autumn to inspect and practice martial arts and hunt. This was a way for the Qing emperors to practice mounted archery.
Lu Tong continued: "This Mulan Autumn Festival is a royal event, every time the emperor almost takes the children of the Eight Banners and pours out of the nest, so that the capital is not only leaderless, but also guarded against emptiness, if you can take advantage of the weakness at this time and go straight to the imperial city, wouldn't you be able to get twice the result with half the effort?"
At this time, Huang Daxing of Xunyang Hall also said: "Yes, yes, this is a good idea, the emperor is afraid of death, and he will definitely take away a large number of elites of the Eight Banners Army."
Li Wencheng thought for a while, and said to Lin Qing: "Big brother, this matter seems to be true, this afternoon, the third of the "Four King Kongs" came to my tavern, I heard him say that the other three have gone to be emperors, so they should also go to Rehe to prepare to protect them."
Lin Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, I don't know when the emperor will leave."
Lu Tong said: "I have already found out, the emperor has already set up yesterday afternoon to rush to Chengde Summer Resort, three or five days as soon as possible, seven or eight days back as slow, without further ado, the opportunity cannot wait, if you are all ready, it is best to start within these few days,"
Lin Qing turned his head and asked Liu Chengzhang, "Hall Master Liu, how are the brothers preparing now?" ”
Liu Chengzhang hurriedly stood up and replied: "The words of the Muslim sect leader have been prepared, although there are only more than 1,000 brothers in the city, but the brothers who have come from other places in the past few days have reached 20,000, all of them are hidden outside the gate of the capital, just waiting for your order."
Lin Qing nodded, and then asked, "Do you brothers still have different views on this matter?"
Everyone said in unison: "Everything is willing to listen to the instructions of the sect leader, and I hope to recover the Han people as soon as possible."
In this way, it was unanimously decided to change the uprising to three days later.
Lu Tong was overjoyed, and then said: "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning a hundred battles, old and talented, once by chance, saved the life of the eunuch Liu Decai, and found that this person is not only dissatisfied with the court, but also bold and careful, trustworthy, I will let him give you an internal response, how?,"
Lin Qing poured a glass of wine, offered it with both hands, and said: "If you can do this, I am grateful, the old-timers are very kind, and it is unforgettable."
Li Wencheng also said: "Major events in the world, we are ordinary people, and we are beyond the reach of fear, if the old man does not give up, help one or two, and the big thing will be successful."
Lu Tong sighed and said: "You are all heroes, I should have been there, but at this moment I have other things, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, my jade pendant is a gift from the eunuch, you take it to the Delong Inn, someone will help you contact him,"
After Lin Qing thanked him, he reached out to catch it and put it in his arms.
Seeing Lu Tong stand up again, he said: "The people are stealing the plains, exploiting excessively, and rotten, and it is bound to not last long, I hope you will do it yourself," said that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, turned around and opened the door and walked out,
Everyone got up to see him off, only to see his figure flicker, over the roof, a few vertical leaps and flies, and then disappeared into the night, the speed of the body is unbelievable, everyone is embarrassed.
After the banquet, all the hall masters said goodbye and left, Lin Qing and Li Wencheng came to a side room, the two pushed the door in, and there was a beautiful young woman in the house, seeing them coming in, she hurriedly got up and came over, and said, "Brother Qing, Wencheng, you are here." It turned out that this woman was Lin Qing's wife, Feng.
Li Wencheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law hasn't rested yet?" Feng Shi shook his head and said: "Just now someone came to my room to report that Keshan has woken up after taking that old-timer's antidote, so I rushed over to take a look."
When Lin Qing heard this, he was overjoyed and asked, "Keshan is awake." Then Feng nodded, Lin Qing clasped his hands together and said, "Thank God, hurry up and go in and have a look." As he spoke, he walked into the inner room, and Li Wencheng followed him in.
I saw a man lying on the bed, his eyes were deep-set, his face was scorched, he heard footsteps, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Lin Qing and Li Wencheng, his eyes slightly released a trace of brilliance, and he said weakly: "Brother-in-law, third brother, you are here." ”
Lin Qing walked to the side of the bed, held his hands tightly and said, "Keshan, how are you feeling?"
Feng Keshan smiled slightly and said, "I shouldn't be able to die." ”
Li Wencheng smiled and said, "Oh, second brother, you finally woke up, do you know that you have been in a coma for several days, and we are all dying, this is really a bodhisattva blessing." ”
Feng Keshan said: "Brother Lao is bothered about me, I don't know if there is any news from the south?"
Li Wencheng moved a chair and sat down in front of the bed, and said, "Second brother, don't worry, Liushunzi has returned, and the southern side has been contacted, and we have decided to start in three days." ”
Feng Keshan was taken aback and asked, "So suddenly?"
Lin Qing replied: "Because the emperor is not in the palace now, but has brought most of the soldiers and horses to the Chengde Summer Resort to prepare for this year's Mulan Autumn Festival, so we decided to take advantage of the weakness." ”
"But, but, how can I ...... my body now?" Feng Keshan said anxiously, struggling to do it.
Lin Qing hurriedly held him down and said: "Keshan, brother Xian, you just take care of your energy, and I and your third brother will do the rest" Li Wencheng also said: "Yes, second brother, you can rest assured, we will succeed immediately,"
Feng Keshan was reluctant in his heart, and Lin Qing and Li Wencheng persuaded him again and again, so he gave up and reluctantly agreed.
