Chapter 8: The Great Inner Master
Chen Jialuo signed the two contracts, and after pressing the handprints, the dustless Taoist and Zhao Banshan left with the contracts.
With Chen Jialuo's signature, the matter of cooperating with Wang Yue is decided.
Yuan Shixiao said to Chen Jialuo and Huo Qingtong: "Jialuo, Qingtong, your food is good, especially the wine, it is even more mellow." But after the meal was eaten and the wine was drunk, I should go back to the old man. ”
Chen Jialuo and Huo Qingtong stood up and hugged Yuan Shixiao and said, "Congratulations to the master." ”
..................
Huo Qingtong is smart and clever, with great wisdom, in the Red Flower Society, she can be regarded as a female Zhuge . With Snow Salt, she was sure to expand the power of the Red Flower Society tenfold.
If you want to strengthen the Red Flower Society, it is not enough to only absorb masters to join, but also more ordinary people and talents from other aspects. However, recruiting talents costs money, although the Red Flower Club has also done business before, and it is also selling illicit salt and making some money, but it has not been rich. Now with Snow Salt, all problems are solved.
Thinking that the Red Flower Society was about to grow, and the imperial court and Emperor Qianlong would be anxious, Huo Qingtong felt a burst of joy in his heart.
Huo Qingtong had a cold light in his eyes, and sneered: "Qianlong forced my sister 'Princess Xiangxiang' to death, I must make him pay the price." If it were possible, I would never let him go!"
Princess Xiangxiang is more beautiful and lovely than Huo Qingtong, but she was favored by Emperor Qianlong, Chen Jialuo remembered the brotherly love, and gave Princess Xiangxiang to Emperor Qianlong, and Princess Xiangxiang died of depression in the palace.
Huo Qingtong always thought that his sister Princess Xiangxiang was snatched by Qianlong and forced her sister to death. She didn't know what to do. Princess Xiangxiang was given to Emperor Qianlong by Chen Jialuo.
Chen Jialuo listened to Huo Qingtong's murderous words, and frowned slightly. The grievances between the imperial court and the Red Flower Society are too deep, and they are not at all something that he Chen Jialuo can resolve. Even if Chen Jialuo is the chief helmsman.
Chen Jialuo is now starting to worry about Emperor Qianlong.
"Qingtong, you say, is it really worth it for us Honghua to go against the imperial court like this? After so many years, not only have we not overthrown the imperial court and recovered the Han people. And many brothers of the Red Flower Society died. Maybe it would be better if we gave up rebellion and lived an ordinary life. Chen Jialuo said.
Huo Qingtong sneered: "Chen Jialuo." Do you want to give up? These are the words that anyone can say, even you, the helmsman of the Red Flower Society, can't say. Have you forgotten how your stepfather died? You have forgotten how my sister died? You have forgotten how the six and seven masters died?"
"Even if you give up the rebellion now, do you think the Manchu court will let you go. We can live in seclusion with the master in the Tianshan Mountains. But what about the brothers in the Red Flower Society? they are constantly being hunted down by the Ouchi masters and the blood drops. ”
Chen Jialuo sighed and said, "Qingtong, I want to be alone for a while. ”
After speaking, Chen Jialuo entered the study and closed the door. Huo Qingtong sighed helplessly outside, she knew that Chen Jialuo did not have the ambition to overthrow the Manchu court back then. Back then, Chen Jialuo dared to break into the palace alone. Go and assassinate Emperor Qianlong.
..................
Chen Jialuo sat in the study and hesitated for a long time. Or decided to write a letter to Emperor Qianlong.
In Chen Jialuo's letter, he only said that the safflower would soon produce exquisite snow salt, but did not say where it would be produced, nor did he say when it would be sold on the market, but only reminded Emperor Qianlong to make emergency preparations.
After Chen Jialuo finished writing the letter, he secretly said in his heart: "I did this just to remind Emperor Qianlong, and I didn't betray the Red Flower Society. ”
........................
In Wang's town, Wang Yue is teaching his sister Wang Jing to stand on the Tai Chi mixed yuan pile in the yard.
Standing on the horse, although still and still, but it can play a good role in the internal organs and lower body exercise. If the horse step is good, it can not only regulate the qi and blood, strengthen the muscles and bones, condense the spirit, but also produce internal strength.
Wang Jing's clothes were all wet with sweat, and it was very hard to stand on the horse.
Wang Yue reminded: "Sister, now that you have reached a critical moment, you must not give up." If you can't hold on, don't think about the hard work of your body, but count the number of breaths you breathe, or feel the sound of your heartbeat and blood flowing. ”
Wang Jing closed his eyes slightly and said softly: "I know the truth." ”
Wang Jing has been walking for several days, although it is very hard, but she can also feel the benefits.
No matter how tired Wang Jing is, as long as he lets Wang Yue massage and recuperate, he will be full of energy when he gets up the next day. Not only that, Wang Jing also felt that his strength had increased, and he slept sweetly at night, and he would not have nightmares.
With so many benefits of practicing martial arts, Wang Jing will naturally concentrate on practicing.
Wang Yue looked at his sister and said secretly in his heart: "My sister's talent for martial arts is also extremely high, although she is a little older, as long as she has the right method, she can become a generation of masters in the future." ”
"Okay, sister, that's all for today. Wang Yue said to Wang Jing, "When practicing martial arts, don't go beyond the limits of your body, otherwise you will leave damage." ”
Transcending the limit, although it is possible to break through the martial arts, but it also leaves physical damage, which is not worth it.
It's like a steel bar, if you go beyond the limit, it will break.
Wang Jing finished his work, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and suddenly felt refreshed.
"Wang Yue Shaoxia!" Zhao Banshan's voice came.
Wang Yue smiled slightly and said, "Sister, it's Zhao Banshan who is here." I didn't expect him to come from the helm of the Red Flower Society so quickly. ”
Wang Yue and Wang Jing came out to greet them, and there was a young man behind Zhao Banshan, and this young man's martial arts were not bad, compared to Tian Guinong, it was not bad at all.
"Zhao Sanye. Wang Yue clenched his fists and smiled.
Zhao Banshan said with a smile: "Wang Yue Shaoxia, let me introduce you, the young man behind me is a master of the young generation of the Red Flower Society, called Sun Hao." ”
Wang Yue hugged his fists and said, "Brother Sun Hao." ”
Sun Hao also hugged his fists and said, "Wang Yue Shaoxia." ”
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Two of you, please come in the house." ”
Wang Yue took Zhao Banshan and Sun Hao into the hall. Wang Jing went to make tea.
When Zhao Banshan saw Wang Jing, he was shocked, Wang Jing was compared to before. But it's very different. Previously, Wang Jing didn't know any martial arts at all, but now her footwork is calm, her qi and blood are full, and her breathing is more fine. Although Wang Jing has not yet become a martial artist, as long as she continues to cultivate, in a few months, she will definitely become a martial artist.
Zhao Banshan secretly said in his heart: "Wang Yue, this kid is really not simple. I don't know what kind of martial arts he gave his sister?"
........................
"Zhao Sanye, when you come this time, you should have sent a contract. Wang Yue asked with a smile.
Zhao Banshan nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad." Exactly. ”
Zhao Banshan took out the contract: "On the contract, there are already signatures and handprints of Chief Chen Helmsman and Dustless Dao Master. Now you can rest assured. ”
Wang Yue cautiously took the contract and said with a smile: "Yes, I am in business." Now I'm relieved. ”
"I don't know what to do. The recipe for snow salt?" asked Zhao Banshan.
Wang Yue said with a smile: "Since there is no problem with the contract, I will naturally give you the formula." Zhao Sanye, Brother Sun Hao, you wait a minute, I'll go get it. ”
Wang Yue stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
Sun Hao asked Zhao Banshan in a low voice: "Three masters, is what Wang Yue said reliable?" He's really too young. How could he have snow salt?"
Zhao Banshan said with a smile: "Sun Hao, ambition is not old. Wang Yue's is much stronger than yours. This time, I asked you to come to Wangjia Town, just because I want you to live here, and in the future, you will communicate with Wang Yue on behalf of the Red Flower Society, and if Wang Yue has any requirements, you can also tell us as soon as possible. ”
Sun Hao nodded and said, "Yes, the three masters." ”
Soon, Wang Yue came out with a few pages of paper full of small characters.
"Zhao Sanye, this is the method of producing snow salt. Wang Yue handed the paper to Zhao Banshan and said, "As long as there are enough manpower and material resources, even if millions of quintals of snow salt are produced a year, it is not difficult." ”
Zhao Banshan carefully folded the top and put it in his arms.
Zhao Banshan said to Wang Yue: "Wang Yue Shaoxia, Sun Hao will stay by your side in the future, if you have any needs, you can tell Sun Hao directly." Sun Hao will pass your words to us as the helmsman of the Red Flower Society. ”
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Well, I know the truth." ”
Sun Hao has now become the link between Wang Yue and the Red Flower Society.
Zhao Banshan handed over the Honghua Club guest token to Wang Yue and said, "Wang Yue Shaoxia, you are now the guest secretary of my Red Flower Society." Here's the token, you put it away. Now that the matter is done, I will take my leave. ”
Wang Yue said: "Third Master Zhao, are you in such a hurry, let's leave after eating." ”
Zhao Banshan wanted to produce snow salt as soon as possible, shook his head and said, "No, I'll go back now." Only when I go back, Chief Helmsman Chen and Dust-free Dao Master will be relieved. ”
Wang Yue smiled: "Since this is the case, then I won't keep you." Zhao Sanye, there will be a period later. ”
Zhao Banshan hugged his fists and said: "There will be a period later." ”
........................
The Forbidden City, Beijing, the Imperial Study.
Emperor Qianlong received a letter today, and when he looked at the handwriting, he knew that the Tao was written by his brother Chen Jialuo.
However, after reading the contents of the letter, Emperor Qianlong's face was pale, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
Chen Jialuo's letter only said that the safflower society would produce snow salt, which would soon appear on the market, so that the imperial court could prepare for emergencies. But Qianlong read the letter, how did he read it, how did he feel like a challenge book.
This is Chen Jialuo's demonstration to the imperial court.
"Someone!" Emperor Qianlong shouted.
"The minions are here. A little eunuch walked into the imperial study.
Emperor Qianlong said: "Let Long Jun and Tian Guinong come to see me, immediately." ”
The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor." ”
..................
Long Jun and Tian Guinong received the news and soon came to the imperial study.
"The slave Long Jun (Tian Guinong) has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor. ”
Long Jun and Tian Guinong knelt down and shouted loudly.
Emperor Qianlong said coldly: "Get up." ”
Long Jun and Tian Guinong stood up and waited for Emperor Qianlong to give orders.
Emperor Qianlong looked at the two of them and said, "The Red Flower Society is going to make trouble again this time, they dare to produce snow salt, it's really bold." Long Jun, Tian Guinong, I now order you to thoroughly investigate the Red Flower Society, destroy their production workshop, and give me the recipe for producing snow salt. ”
Long Jun and Tian Guinong hugged their fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Qianlong glanced at Tian Guinong and sneered: "Tian Guinong, last time you were asked to get back the treasure map of Miao Renfeng and Hu Yidao, but you fell short, this time, I will give you another chance to make meritorious contributions, if you do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
"Long Jun was my imperial guard before, and his martial arts are no worse than Zhao Banshan of the Red Flower Society, with him helping you, if you can't succeed......"
Tian Guinong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely handle things well." Otherwise, come and see you. ”
"Hmph, it's good that you know the way. Emperor Qianlong snorted coldly, "Okay, you guys go down." ”
..................
This investigation was headed by Tian Guinong and supervised by Long Jun.
After all, Tian Guinong is a person in the rivers and lakes, so he should know more about the style of doing things in the Red Flower Society, and Long Jun's martial arts are strong, which can prevent the masters of the Red Flower Society from sneaking up.
Emperor Qianlong believed that the cooperation between the two would definitely bankrupt the plan of the Red Flower Society to produce snow salt.
"Brother Long, I have to rely on you a lot this time. Tian Guinong hugged his fists and smiled.
Long Jun sneered: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
As a master of Ouchi, Long Jun did not take Tian Guinong, a second-rate martial artist, in his eyes at all. In Long Jun's eyes, Emperor Qianlong reused the land to return to farming, but he just took shit luck.
Long Jun said secretly in his heart: "Tian Guinong, that is, a straw bale, this time I went to check the Red Flower Society, and when I got to the bottom, I must still rely on myself." (To be continued......)
