Xiao Han looked at the visitor in surprise: "Tian Chengzhi, why are you here?" Tian Chengzhi wiped the sweat and dirt on his face and said, "Elder Chu sent me." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Murong Qiuyu hurriedly took a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Tian Chengzhi glanced at her strangely, seeing that Murong Qiuyu's face was flushed, and he hurriedly hid back in the room to change his clothes. Tian Chengzhi drank the tea in two sips, put down the tea bowl and said: "I'm tired to death, if it weren't for Ke Laosan on the Yangtze River, I would almost let the officers and soldiers find out." ”

Xiao Han said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, you don't stay in Tokyo well, what are you doing here?" and then suddenly jumped up and said, "It's not that there is an accident in the factory, right?"

Tian Chengzhi shook his head and said: "The factory is good, it can collect thousands of taels of silver every month, and now it has expanded its scale, and built two factories. Elder Chu was worth ten taels of silver when he came down, and even Chief Accountant Fan rode a Western Regions horse, which was worth a thousand taels of silver. ”

Xiao Han was dumbfounded when he heard this, and muttered: "A group of losers have become corrupt before they get rich." Tian Chengzhi said with a smile: "Elder Chu said, now that the factory has made a lot of money, it can't be lost to all brothers and sisters, all the Wudang sect disciples in Tokyo have three taels of silver a month each, and the wages of workers have risen by three percent, and more than a hundred people have been recruited." Now Wuyue, Dashu, Jiangnan, Panyu, Taiyuan, and Daliao countries have sent businessmen to Tokyo to buy our factory clothes, and we have really made a fortune. ”

Xiao Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "This Elder Chu, he only cares about his own enjoyment, so he doesn't say that he will send some money to me?" Murong Qiuyu had already changed his clothes and came back, Tian Chengzhi glanced at her, his eyes were very ambiguous, Murong Qiuyu said angrily: "What are you looking at?"

Tian Chengzhi said with a smile: "Minister Ye said that all the profits must be transported to Wudang Mountain to build a palace, the head of the family has always disliked extravagance, and there are two princesses to fund it, so there is no need to worry about you." ”

Xiao Han feigned anger and said: "This Ye Zixuan is really the opposite, dare to treat this head like this? As soon as the Wudang faction is completed, the head of this sect will marry her out and expel her from the Wudang faction." Tian Chengzhi was taken aback, looked at him seriously, and only after confirming that it was a joke did he breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Minister Ye has worked hard, if you want to expel him, most of the Wudang disciples will quit." ”

Xiao Han said with a smile: "Fuck off, do you dare to threaten me? How much money do you make now?Can you support the Gai Wudang faction?" Tian Chengzhi said with a smile: "It is stable at about one thousand taels of silver per month, and now that the scale has expanded, it should be able to receive about three thousand, and the Gai Wudang faction should not be a problem." ”

Murong Qiuyu said with a smile: "We have really become rich people, I want a bloody horse." Xiao Han said with a smile: "If you want all the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you, not to mention a horse, I will give you ten." Tian Chengzhi stuck out his tongue and said: "I heard that a sweaty BMW costs a thousand taels of gold, and if we buy it, we will go bankrupt." ”

The two laughed, and Xiao Han pointed at him and said, "You poor guy, tell me quickly, in addition to reporting good news, what else do you want to send over?"

Tian Chengzhi's face suddenly changed, and he said with a sad face: "Jingxin Xiaoshitai was originally practicing in Jingci Nunnery in Tokyo, and Minister Hao went to visit her every five days, and on the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of last month, Jingxin Xiaoshitai received a letter, accompanied by two servants, saying that the head of the family sent someone to pick her up to Wudang Mountain. Mrs. Jingxin resigned from Jingci'an, and wanted to say goodbye to Minister Hao, but the two said that the time was urgent, and the head of the house had urgent matters waiting for her, so Mrs. Jingxin took a carriage with them out of Tokyo.

On the second day, Minister Hao learned of this and told Elder Chu, who panicked and said that the head of the sect was running errands in the south of the Yangtze River, so how could he have time to see Mrs. Jingxin? Mrs. Jingxin must have been abducted, and all the four rudders of the Wudang faction who stayed in Tokyo were dispatched, and there was no news for three whole days, so he sent me and Ye Qingshu to Jinling and Wudang Mountain respectively to find the head of the house to report the news. ”

Xiao Han jumped up and said, "What did you say, who kidnapped her?" Tian Chengzhi shook his head and said: "I don't know, we reported to Kaifeng Mansion, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin of Kaifeng Mansion sent hundreds of arresters to help find her, but there was no news." ”

Xiao Han sat down and said, "How can this be? Jingxin has always had no quarrel with the world, why would someone kidnap her?" Murong Qiuyu asked, "Have you ever received a letter or message from the kidnappers?"

Tian Chengzhi shook his head and said: "No, Elder Chu immediately summoned the five factions of the Great Song Dynasty to ask them to help find it, Qixing Villa is in charge of the South Road, Beidou Pavilion is in charge of the North Road, Qingfeng Hall is in charge of the East Road, Chiyang Hall is in charge of the West Road, and Tianluo Valley is in charge of the Middle Road. ”

Murong Qiuyu frowned and pondered: "Jingxin was originally a cultivator of Baifu Nunnery in Jiuhua Mountain, and she has always had no quarrel with the world, after the destruction of Baifu Nunnery, she was protected by Sima An and defected to the Wudang faction, but in fact, she was not a member of the Wudang faction, how could the enemy kidnap her?"

Xiao Han was also puzzled, and muttered: "Since the matter has happened, it is useless to be anxious, she is just a weak woman, her martial arts are mediocre, and there must be a reason for her to be tied up suddenly, you go back and tell Elder Chu, and order him to ask the left-behind disciples of the five factions to continue to search, and I will deal with it after I finish doing business." ”

Things were one after another, and Xiao Han's originally slightly calm heart was stirred up into a mess again. Murong Qiuyu took Tian Chengzhi down for dinner, opened a room for him to rest for one night, and went back the next day to recover his life. Tian Chengzhi asked about Li Yueying, Murong Qiuyu was unwilling to let the Tokyo personnel know that she had died, under the pretext of squeaking for Li Jingshou's filial piety, and in order to prevent him from coming into contact with the people of Jinling, she specially asked Ge Qinglian to be responsible for sending someone to escort Tian Chengzhi back to Jiangbei.

Sending Tian Chengzhi away, it was the fifth day of the first month of November in a blink of an eye, Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu changed their clothes, and the two rode two jujube red horses sent by Li Congshan together, and came to King Zheng's mansion early to report. Li Congshan hurriedly invited, the two entered the Zheng Palace, and saw dozens of palace guards in full armor to protect Li Congshan out, the two stepped forward to salute, Li Congshan smiled and said: "You two are wronged, be my personal guard, just enter the school, there is no will, you must not act at will." ”

The two naturally complied, and followed Li Congshan out according to the instructions of the captain of the guard, Li Congshan got into the sedan chair, and the guards rode to protect him in the middle, and marched towards the southwest school field.

Naturally, the people of Jinling have already received the news, and they have flocked to the southwest, and several restaurants near the school have been booked, and the rich businessmen have booked rooms, hoping to overlook the grand scene of the show. Li Congshan originally listened to Xiao Han's suggestion and hoped to open the school field for the people to watch, but Han Xizai and Yan Xuan categorically vetoed it. Li Yu had no idea, so he naturally listened to the opinions of the ministers, and the matter was settled.

After traveling more than two miles south, Xiao Han saw a military camp standing in front of him in the distance. This military camp is hundreds of meters in circumference, extremely empty all around, there are countless soldiers standing side by side outside, watchtowers are covered at the four corners, and a high wall around it is tightly covered, and the scene inside cannot be seen at all.

Before Li Congshan arrived at the school ground, several horses galloped over from a distance, and a young officer saw King Zheng's banner, turned over and dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "Liao Tianyu, the head of the Divine Guard, see His Royal Highness King Zheng." ”

Li Congshan opened the sedan curtain and said gently: "Please lead the way in front of Liao Dutou." Liao Tianyu said yes loudly, followed by turning over and getting on the horse, leading the way with several military horses. Everyone came to the door of the barracks, all the guards bowed down and bowed, Li Congshan said a few words of comfort, everyone dismounted at the same time, and followed Liao Tianyu into the school field.

This school field is like the stadium of later generations, but it is several times larger than an ordinary stadium. The east, west, north and south are full of military horses in all directions, and there are swords and guns everywhere, there are cavalrymen wearing red armor holding long knives and spears, there are infantry troops holding regimental cards, the military flags of each state are different, and the military horses of the 21 states are full of energy, and the school field is crowded.

Directly north of the school field is a high platform, in the middle of which is a yellow forging dragon case, and there are several long tables on the left and right sides, which are still empty at this time. Li Congshan was the commander-in-chief of the exercise, so naturally he had to come early. Li Yu and the ministers had not yet arrived, Li Congshan ascended the high platform, and the officers with troops from various states came to pay their respects.

Li Congshan knew most of these officers, and after seeing the salute, he said with a straight face: "Generals, today's battle is not only about the honor of the military horses in each state, but also about the military strength of our Jiangnan and the ability to resist foreign captives. ”

All the generals agreed in unison, and each went down to form a team. Each state sent 1,000 troops and horses for this performance, and the order of the battle had been decided by lot, and the Divine Guard sent people to replace the weapons of the states. Because it was a military exercise, it was inconvenient to use real knives and guns, so Nantang prepared tens of thousands of wooden knives and guns, and with reference to Xiao Han's opinion, he wrapped a lime bag on the wooden knife and gun to verify the actual combat effect.

Everything was in order, Li Congshan also made a lot of preparations in advance, and his generals performed their duties and prepared all the pre-game matters properly, just waiting for Li Yu and a group of civil and military ministers to arrive and announce the start.

Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu stood behind Li Congshan, and saw several armored officers under the high platform coming and going in the formation, extremely chic and mighty. The armies and horses of the various states were neatly groomed, and under the command of their respective officers, they stood motionless in the cold wind. Xiao Han was extremely shocked in his heart, and finally understood that no matter how big the Jianghu sect was, it would never be the opponent of the regular army, which was one of the reasons why the martial arts had not been a great weapon for thousands of years.

The army is well-trained, and it is not at all comparable to ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, and it may not be possible to fight alone in the army, and in terms of team combat ability, looking at the martial arts in the world, the three sects together are not one, and they can wipe out all the factions in the rivers and lakes by sending a few battalions at will.

At this time, there were twenty or thirty thousand horses in the school field, but there was no sound, only the sound of the escort officers running around to give orders, and the sound of the state military flags hunting and fluttering.

Li Congshan also had a serious face, sitting on the left side of the high platform, hundreds of officers stood in line under the stage, everyone was bright and bright, full of spirit, which made Xiao Han very emotional, thinking that after going back, he would also conduct a militarized training in the Wudang faction.

When I was in reverie, I heard a crowd shouting horses outside the school gate, and hundreds of military horses escorted a team of people and horses in.
