Chapter 7 The theater burns on fire

"Command. "The eunuch went to Cai You's mansion and Han Zhongyan's mansion to deliver the edict.

Song Huizong said to Han Jiangliu again: "Han Aiqing, I will order you to be the special envoy in front of the palace again, and privately investigate the whereabouts of Princess Linglong, if you can find out, you must ensure her safety and escort her back safely." ”

"Yes. ”

Han Jiangliu accepted this extremely difficult task, and since then, he has embarked on an extremely difficult journey.

Now let's talk about another thing, if Daoist Chalin Lingsu suggested building a demon town, is it a selfish thought, the emperor only sent Prime Minister Han Zhongyan alone, why did he send Cai You, the secretary of the Criminal Department?

It turned out that although Song Huizong appointed Han Zhongyan as the prime minister and asked him to preside over the affairs of the DPRK and China, he did not trust Han Zhongyan very much, and wanted to break his elbow in everything.

Song Huizong is indeed a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Han Zhongyan is dedicated to the country and has no selfish intentions.

On the contrary, that Cai You is a very bad person, he is the son of Taishi Cai Jing.

On this day, the eunuch went to the palace of the eunuch Cai Jing to deliver the decree.

Cai You came over to receive the order.

The eunuch read out the holy decree and said: "The Holy Heaven is carried, the emperor decreed, and ordered Cai You, the secretary of the Privy Council and the Criminal Department, to assist Prime Minister Han Zhongyan in investigating Lin Lingsu together, acting secretly and investigating secretly, and not offending Lin Xianren." Chin this. ”

Cai You knelt down to receive the decree and sent away the eunuch who passed the decree.

With a slap of his hand, three people turned from behind the screen.

The first person, with a long beard and a drooping chest, full of white hair, a slightly chubby figure, and bright eyes, was Cai You's father, Cai Jing, the Taishi at that time.

The second person, born with a long body and a jade face, is a red man under Song Huizong, the great eunuch Yang Jian.

The third person, medium in stature, thin, with three short strands of hair under his chin, looks like a fairy wind Dao bone, and it is the Taoist Lin Lingsu who Song Huizong asked to secretly investigate.

Cai You bowed down and said, "Father, the eunuch came just now. ”

Cai Jing waved his hand and said, "The three of us heard it." ”

Cai You said: "The emperor began to distrust Lin Daochang, and he wants to investigate and punish Lin Daochang, what should we do?"

It turned out that Cai Jing, Cai You's father and son, as well as the eunuch Yang Jian, and the Taoist chief Lin Lingsu, the four of them formed a party for personal gain, and they all hoped to make waves in the court and reap greater benefits.

Among them, the eunuch Yang Jian loves money, Cai's father and son love names, and Lin Lingsu has the greatest ambition.

That Lin Lingsu Dao Chief, who himself practiced in Mogan Mountain, Zhejiang, already had the body of a half-immortal, but his vulgar thoughts had not gone, he wanted to live forever in the fairy world, and he wanted to enjoy glory and wealth in the world, he had already seized the Great Song Dynasty and replaced Emperor Huizong.

He wanted to get a taste of what it was like to be an emperor.

Lin Lingsu said: "Cai Youxian's nephew doesn't have to be nervous, Your Majesty will follow him to check if he wants to check, I am doing a good job, and I am not afraid of anyone to check." ”

Yang Jian said, "Having said that, I'm afraid there is also some trouble, especially Han Zhongyan, who is upright and stubborn, very difficult, and his son Han Jiangliu is also a guy who is not easy to provoke. ”

Lin Lingsu laughed: "Han Zhongyan is a scholar, and Han Jiangliu is an ignorant child, I'm afraid of where they come from." Besides, with our Cai father and son here, are you afraid that they Han father and son will not be able to do it?"

Yang Jian said: "Yes, yes." ”

Cai Jing said: "Then let's discuss what to do now." ”

At the moment, the four of them went to the idle people and waited, and discussed secretly in the room.

One of the key contents of the secret discussion is: Now that Princess Linglong has been arrested, what should I do?

Cai You said: "I really don't understand, what did you do when you let the rich and poor immortals catch Princess Linglong?"

Yang Jian laughed and said: "Yes, Daoist Lin, you people are not, I'm not, I can't be if I want to." Yang Jian is not shy about his identity as a eunuch, and often jokes about himself.

Lin Lingsu said: "You don't understand this, think this Linglong princess, is not an ordinary person, she was originally a fairy on the shore of the Milky Way, and was ordered by the Jade Emperor to manage the imperial garden, because she was good at releasing the golden-winged parrot in the Jade Emperor's Imperial Garden, so she was demoted to the mortal world and became the Linglong princess, but she has a deep relationship with the fairy world, and controlling her is equivalent to controlling many people, and you will naturally know it in the future." ”

Cai Jing asked, "Then Brother Lin, what are you going to do with her?" ”

Lin Lingsu said: "Taishi Cai, don't worry, I have already sent two immortals, rich and poor, to send her to the Flame Island in the South China Sea. Not to mention that the emperor and Han Zhongyan don't know, even if they do, they can't find it back, and the 7749 roadblocks I set up in the middle are not something that anyone can crack. ”

"Forty-nine barricades?" the crowd asked.

Lin Lingsu replied: "Yes, forty-nine roadblocks, starting from the capital to the South China Sea Flame Island where Princess Linglong is imprisoned, there are seventy-seven and forty-nine roadblocks on the road that must be passed, each of which has infinite dangers. ”

After saying this, Lin Lingsu sneered.

The other three laughed.

Master Cai's mansion was brightly lit, the atmosphere was cheerful and harmonious, and there was a joyful and happy atmosphere between the guests and hosts.

Not to mention this, besides, Han Jiangliu left the palace and began to prepare to rescue Princess Linglong, of course, he couldn't rescue the princess by relying on his strength alone, he had no clue.

Han Jiangliu thought of Wuyun Immortal Gu, so he rode a horse to Youlanxuan, a teahouse in the west of the city.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse told Han Jiangliu that Wuyun Immortal Gu was not in Youlanxuan now.

Han Jiangliu asked her what she was doing.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse said that he left in a hurry with the little maid just now, and he didn't even have time to pay for the tea and dinner.

Han Jiangliu said: "Don't worry, they are immortals, and they won't rely on your tea and rice money." And said to the shopkeeper of the teahouse: "When the fairy aunt or her little maid Yushu comes back, please go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and tell me, I am the little son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will have a heavy reward at that time." ”

The teahouse shopkeeper nodded in agreement.

Han Jiangliu left Youlanxuan, feeling that he should go back and discuss this matter with his father, who had been an official for many years and had rich experience.

So, Han Jiangliu rode back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see his father.

Before I got home, I suddenly saw two people on the street, one after the other, in a hurry. Now that the sky is a little dark, the person in front is walking fast and can't see clearly, and the person in the back is Wuyun Immortal Gu.

Han Jiangliu hurriedly shouted: "Immortal Gu, where are you going?" "Who is that person in front?"

Wuyun Immortal Gu said, "Help me stop her, this person knows the whereabouts of Princess Linglong." ”

As soon as he heard this, Han Jiangliu cheered up and chased after him.

But this is a bit wishful thinking, a person who can't even catch up with Wuyun Immortal Gu, how can Han Jiangliu easily catch up, seeing farther and farther, and no shadow can be seen.

After only a while, Han Jiangliu was only tired and panting, standing unsteadily, stopping his panting, looking up sharply, and seeing the fire in front of him.

In front of it is the largest theater in the capital: Baisheng Theater.

The stage of Parkson Theater is huge, covers a wide area, and is mostly composed of wooden structures, once a fire breaks out, it will spread rapidly, and the consequences are unimaginable.

However, fire safety is usually paid attention to here, so how could it suddenly catch fire?

Han Jiangliu cheered up again and rushed there.

rushed to the vicinity and found that in the firelight, it was Wuyun Fairy Gu and another person standing on top of the theater.

The two people stood opposite each other, and they were not moving.

Han Jiangliu saw that the person was white and fat, with a black beard, and his clothes were unusually gorgeous, just like an old rich man.

Suddenly, Dan saw that the old rich man stretched out his palms, and a flame burst out from his palm, and the flame was extremely powerful, and he rushed directly towards Wuyun Immortal Gu.

Wuyun Immortal Gu dodged sideways, and the flame continued to be powerful, rushing to a pillar on the side of the stage, and the pillar was in flames at that time, burning to ashes in a moment.

This kung fu is too overbearing.

Wuyun Immortal Gu asked, "Old rich man, let me ask you, where did you hide Princess Linglong?"

The old rich man said: "Dao Gu, if you go against me, you are against the Lingsu Dao Chief, think about it, with your ability, will you be the opponent of the Lingsu Dao Chief?"

"This-" Wuyun Immortal Gu hesitated slightly, Lin Lingsu's great name, she was on Li Mountain, she had heard Li Shan's old mother mention it many times, saying that after going down the mountain, you must be careful of Lin Lingsu, this person has strong spells, try to avoid his edge, and do not have a head-on conflict with him.

However, because of the responsibility of protecting Princess Linglong, Wuyun Immortal Gu immediately said: "No matter who it is, they have no right to arrest Princess Linglong, this is a great crime of bullying the king." ”

As he was talking, the old rich man spewed out another burst of flames, this time the flames became a large ball, and the upper and lower left and right covers were all puffed up, almost putting the Wuyun Immortal Gu in the sea of fire.

Han Jiangliu in the audience saw that he couldn't intervene in this kind of trick between immortals no matter what, if he rushed to the stage, he couldn't help but die in vain, but it would hinder the matter of Wuyun Immortal Gu subduing demons and eliminating demons.

Thinking of this, Han Jiangliu could only do what he could, that is, to command the fire brigade that had just arrived, and work together to extinguish the fire, on and off the stage, making a mess.

What Han Jiangliu and the fire brigade didn't expect was that the old rich man and the poor beggar during the day were not ordinary people, the two of them were poor and rich, the full name was the poor and the rich and the two immortals, and they were the two messengers under Lin Lingsu.

Lin Lingsu often handed over some tedious matters to the two of them. The rich and poor immortals have their own amazing spells, this rich immortal old rich man, is good at using the sun flame ghost fire, and its fire is different from the mortal flame. The mortal flame is extinguished when it encounters water, while the solar flame ghost fire is blazing when it encounters water, which is extremely powerful.

The members of the fire brigade reported to Han Jiangliu one after another: "Young Master Han, this fire can't be extinguished." ”
