Chapter 16: The Amazing Conspiracy
Five days later, in the afternoon, Wang Han, the helmsman of the Suzhou Branch, came to the Wulin Inn to find Zhang Xun, saying that there was some eyebrows in that matter. It turned out that the beggar gang found out the true identity of Na Du Yuanwai on the second day, and it turned out that it was a spy sent by King Qin to lurk in Hangzhou for many years. And the people who robbed the darts were all people from the rivers and lakes who were secretly coerced or lured by Li Ruoming, the traitor of the Qin State, and they were just cannon fodder. Jiang gang leader in the rivers and lakes is very wide, it is said that it is still Jiang Ziya's descendants, in order to understand the details, Jiang gang leader personally went to invite the thief door master Li Yuanxing who has been to Hangzhou to go to Du Mansion to steal the treasure chest key that Du Yuan never left his body, last night Li Yuanxing successfully opened the treasure chest but only saw a white piece of paper with four place names and a date written on it: "Wudang, Emei, Suzhou Lingering Garden, Zheng County Yellow Emperor Temple." On the day of the vernal equinox", he folded the white paper and put it back in its place, locked the treasure chest, and left Du Mansion after putting the key back on Du Yuanwai. After informing the Jiang gang leader this morning, the Jiang gang leader couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he sent Wang Han to ask Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun thought about it for a long time, and the day of the spring equinox prompted his thinking, Zhang Xun made bold assumptions and made up a shocking conspiracy by himself. But this is a big deal, it's not that he can't trust Wang Han, it's just that the less people know about it before it is revealed, the better. Zhang Xun said: "I have some clues, but I have to confirm with the leader of your gang Jiang." Please also ask Lord Wang to take me to see Gang Master Jiang. Wang Han knew what Zhang Xun meant as soon as he heard it, and the helper confirmed that it was fake, and didn't let him Wang Han know that it was true. Wang Han said: "Okay, the carriage outside has been prepared, follow me to see the Jiang Gang Leader and his old man." ”
Seeing the Jiang gang leader, Zhang Xun didn't say anything directly, but just asked the Jiang gang leader to find a top-secret place. Jiang Gang Leader realized that the matter was not small, so he took Zhang Xun to a tea garden and entered the underground secret room. Only then did he speak: "Okay, boy, you can rest assured that you can say it now!" Zhang Xun said: "Gang Master Jiang, before saying it, the kid boldly asked a rumor that you are a descendant of the Taigong, but is it true?" Jiang Gang Leader said: "The Taigong is indeed the ancestor of my Jiang family, you kid can say it!" Zhang Xun said: "Then you should know that Penglai is not a legend, but a real Xiuzhen world." To tell you the truth, the kid is going to Penglai in the future. There is a place between the Seven Kingdoms and Penglai that can be directly led to after activation, and the kid calls it a secret realm. That Wudang, Emei, Suzhou Lingering Garden, and Zhengxian Yellow Emperor Temple are where the secret books are, and the kid thinks that the King of Qin knows at least six secret places. It is the seventh secret realm, and King Qin also knows that it is in Laiwu in Lu Kingdom, but he may not know the specific location or cannot open it. The reason why there are only four on the blank paper is that the King of Qin does not want others to know about the two secret places of Mount Tai located in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and the Taishan where the Zen Ceremony was held when the King of Qin became the Emperor of Qin. King Qin is the true son of heaven, and he must unify the mainland, and the day of the spring equinox refers to the day when the king of Qin raised his army four years later. The kid boldly assumed that King Qin wanted to use this martial arts conference to attract the top martial arts masters who had reached the peak of the transformation realm and could not find the opportunity to enter the Tao from martial arts to work for him, and the greatest possibility was to assassinate the generals of the Six Kingdoms who were good at leading troops to fight and "strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away." The strategists and military divisions of the army, thus greatly speeding up the process of reunification. There may also be Penglai immortal cultivators intervening in it, and in the eyes of their monks, all the people in this world are ants. And this incident was exposed because Li Ruoming, the traitor of the Qin State, had a crooked heart, so it was noticed by you and me. ”
After hearing this, the Jiang gang leader was shocked and asked, "Then according to Mr. Zhang, how should you deal with it?" (Seeing Zhang Xun's ability, Jiang Gang Master naturally no longer called Zhang Xun boy, but called Mr. according to the ancient rites.) Zhang Xun replied: "So far, we have no other way but to announce the secret realm to the world before King Qin, and the martial arts conference will not be able to continue." People have greedy desires, and the King of Qin takes advantage of this, then we will muddy the water, and the bloody rain and bloody wind in the rivers and lakes are inevitable, I don't kill people, but people die because of me, and I will die again. However, if you can stop King Qin, you can't easily add a yellow robe, I admit it. Hey, the people suffer, and when they die, the people suffer. Jiang said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't have to blame himself, even if those people who are hungry for profit die, they are to blame for themselves, and they can't complain." As for passing this matter to the world, it will be handed over to the beggar gang, and it is convenient for my beggar gang to spread the news all over the world, and within three days, the whole world will know about it. Zhang Xun said: "Gang Master Jiang only needs to say the secret realm, and I will inform the court of the Six Kingdoms." You know that I have been looking for people for the past few years, and I am telling you now that I am looking for the seeds of literature and Taoism in various countries, and as long as the seeds are there, literature and Taoism will eventually be revived. In the future, I will need a lot of help from the beggars! When King Qin's conspiracy was revealed, I also surfaced, and it was not as convenient as before to do things. The leader of the Jiang gang said: "Mr. Zhang has the common people in his heart, if he is sent, it is incumbent on me to help the beggars." Zhang Xun said: "At present, there are two things to help you, one is that my family and I are no longer suitable to stay in this place of right and wrong in Hangzhou, and I also ask the helper to arrange a boat and secretly send our family to Jinling, the summer capital, before the day after tomorrow." Second, please ask Wang Han to help me pay attention to two people, one is the yin and yang talent Lu Shen, and the other is the amorous son Pan Liang. I don't have time to screen between the two of them right now. Jiang said: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will arrange the boat immediately, Wang Han wants him to go to the inn tomorrow morning, and you personally order him." ”
When Zhang Xun returned to the Wulin Inn, he called Murong Shuang and asked her to return to Suzhou Murong Villa immediately after sending Leng Xiangling back to the Yiyuan Dart Bureau by the way, and told her father that the head of the Murong family would personally send his four children to Jinling, and as for the reason, the head of the Murong family would know by then. Sending Murong Shuang and Leng Xiangling to the door of the inn, Zhang Xun went to Xinlan's room, and when he saw that the four ladies were here, he told them his plans and asked them to clean up and leave Hangzhou tomorrow. Fortunately, I had already enjoyed the beautiful scenery of West Lake in my leisure a few days ago, and the five of them did not come to Hangzhou in vain.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Han came to the Wulin Inn and sent Zhang Xun and his wife to the dock, on the way Zhang Xun had already instructed Wang Han to pay attention to the affairs of Lu Pan and the others, so he got on the boat directly and went to Jinling. The ability of the beggar gang naturally had nothing to say, and the ship sailed very fast, and it ran to the Jinling Xiaguan Wharf in one night. After entering Jinling City, the matter of the secret realm has already spread, which is also the reason why Zhang is looking for the beggar gang, in the words of his previous life, that is, the beggar gang has the widest channel in the Wenchang continent.
After Zhang found an inn and settled the four ladies, he set off for the royal city. Seeing the guards, Zhang Xun identified himself, and soon King Xia's personal eunuch went to the city gate to pick up Zhang Xun into the palace to meet King Xia. After explaining to King Xia when King Qin would raise troops, he asked King Xia to pay attention to guarding against the spies of Qin and left.
Two days later, the head of the Murong family and Murong Shuang took Zhang Xing, Zhang Qianwen, Zhang Xiuya, and Zhang Ming to the inn to find Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun asked Murong Shuang to take the children to the next room to find Xinlan and them, and they talked to the head of the Murong family. Zhang Xun said: "Father-in-law, you know about the secret realm, the secret realm of the Lu country is in Laiwu, the son-in-law has already arranged it, we will enter the secret realm in Layue at the latest, and you can enter the Tao from martial arts." The head of the Murong family said: "Xun'er, you can arrange the affairs of the secret realm, and I will ask you to take care of Shuang'er before she gets married." After I return to Murong Villa this time, I will have to retreat for half a year, only you can reassure me" Zhang Xun said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoshuang with Xiaoxue and them." ”
After bidding farewell to his father-in-law, Zhang Xun left Jinling with his five daughters and went to Zheng County. Zhang Xun thought that if the cultivation realm intervened, the mundane world would no longer be safe. So he planned to bring the Wendao seeds that he had found into the secret realm to protect them, and the Laiwu secret realm was only known to the Zen master of Wufa, and it seemed that it was still the arrangement of his master's drunken Taoist, and it would be safe. Seeing Bai Wen and Bai Yulian again, the two of them are also parents, Zhang Xun mentioned it, and the Bai family and his wife said goodbye to Bai's father Bai Yiqiang with their newborn child and followed Zhang Xun's family.
Coming to Mount Tai again, it is no longer peaceful here, there are martial arts masters fighting more than every day, fortunately, Nancun is some distance away from the secret realm of Mount Tai, but it is still very stable, as if it is a paradise. When he came to the Han family, Han Xiaotong's father said to Zhang Xun very gratefully: "Thank you for your help, Xiaotong is now dedicated to learning, Master Yan has already made a baby with my Han family, and when Ruyu grows up, he will marry Xiaotong as his wife." Zhang Xun smiled and said: "Brother Han, this is the fate of Xiaotong and Ruyu, and I didn't do anything." Is the child at home or at the Yixin Bookstore?" Father Han knew that Zhang Xun would definitely have something to do with the child when he came to Nancun again, so he said: "I have already asked Jie Nei to go to Tai'an City in the morning to invite Master Yan to come to the house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I think I should be back soon." It was almost noon, Han's mother came back with the Yan family's father and daughter and Xiaotong, Han's mother went to cook, and the five daughters also went into the kitchen to help. Zhang Xun asked Yan Fuzi about Han Xiaotong's study, and Yan Fuzi said with relief: "Brother Zhang, Siqiang is a down-and-out show who has no talent to teach children, and now even Ruyu is better than me in learning." I'm content now. "Lunch was ready, everyone was talking and laughing at a table, and Han's father took out his own aged wine, which was very enjoyable. When Zhang Xun proposed to take Xiaotong and Ruyu away to go to a good place with him to concentrate on studying, the Han family's parents and Yan's father agreed. Although there is some reluctance, parents hope that their children can become dragons and phoenixes.
Leaving Nancun, Zhang Xun and his entourage went to Qufu, the capital of Lu State, and returned to Zhang's Mansion, which had not been here for more than ten years, but nothing changed, it was still the same as it was back then. It turned out that Steward Tian had been carefully taking care of this mansion for more than ten years. Zhang Xun asked his wife and Tian housekeeper to take care of Bai Wen, Bai Yulian, Bai Zhenhua (Bai Wen and Bai Yulian's son is only half a year old), and the five children were like jade, and they left Zhang's mansion and went to the palace. King Lu now of course knows the bitterness of Zhang Xun's ten years of silence, heard that Zhang Xun has returned to China, and is now at the gate of the royal city, so he ordered Mr. Hu to pick up Zhang Xun, and he went out of the Qinzheng Palace with the three princes and six kings to welcome Zhang Xun's arrival, and gave Zhang Xun great courtesy. Zhang Xun explained in detail to King Lu and the main ministers the premeditated plan of the King of Qin and the analysis of the war to come in three years, so that they could prepare early. Finally, after asking about Du Wenli's situation, Wang Xingwu, the secretary of the ministry, said: "I will ask him to go to Laiwu to find you." ”
On the way back to Laiwu, Zhang Xun stayed in Yiyuan County and Zibo Mansion for a few days, and the local people cheered. After Zhang Xun returned to Laiwu, the group went to He Mansion, and only waited for the arrival of the head of the Murong family and Du Wenli to enter the secret realm and start the road of cultivation.
