Hu Long was willing to take on the task of rescuing people for Hu Fei, not because he pretended to be a hero, but after careful consideration.
What Cheng Lingsu said is certainly true. After Hu Feixian's trouble, the security at Fukang'an Mansion must be even tighter.
However, strengthening the security is only a relative term. Even if Fukangan is extremely powerful, it is impossible to mobilize a large number of troops in this important area of the capital. He can really surround a huge mansion with wind and rain. He can only tighten the security around the important figures in the mansion. Guard in case of any eventuality.
Although Ma Chunhua's twins were Fukang'an's biological children, they were illegitimate children after all. Besides, no one would think of breaking into the handsome man's house just for those two children.
After careful calculation, he felt that he was quite sure of success.
In fact, it was just as Hu Long expected.
He went out at night, avoiding the officers and soldiers who were hunting Hu Fei all the way to Fukang'an's mansion, and sneaked in with his extraordinary Qinggong.
After he unknowingly captured a steward of the palace and went to a secluded area to interrogate the whereabouts of the two children using some tricks, he rushed to restrain several guards, maids and nannies with acupuncture skills, and held a child in one hand. Walk away.
By the time Fukang'an's house discovered that the two young masters had been kidnapped and chaos broke out again, Hu Long had already sent the children to Ma Chunhua.
She vaguely heard the calls of her two sons. Ma Chunhua soon woke up and developed a strong will to survive. After Cheng Lingsu used silver needles to force out the poison and mixed it with drugs, the situation was quickly stabilized. .
Early the next morning, Hu Long arranged a carriage with a hidden compartment to take the mother and son outside the city and settle down in a village secretly set up by the "Tiandihui". As for future arrangements, they will be decided after the "World Leaders Conference".
A few days later, it was finally the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As soon as noon passed, Hu Long packed up and went to the meeting.
Because the invitation stated that each sect was limited to four people attending the meeting, he brought Cheng Lingsu, Hu Fei and another brother from the meeting who was not weak in martial arts.
Others were fine with it, but Hu Fei showed up at Fukang'an's place, so Cheng Lingsu used his skill to disguise him into a very powerful middle-aged man with a beard.
A group of four people came to the door of Fukang'an's mansion and saw that many sects had already arrived and were filing in through the heavily guarded gate with their respective invitations.
As soon as Hu Long and others arrived at the door, an official wearing the uniform of a third-grade military attache came forward to greet them. However, he only checked that the invitation handed over by Hu Long was correct and did not ask when the "Drunken Eight Immortals" had a new leader. People, bowed their hands and invited them in.
At this moment, sixty-two tables were set up in a mine-like hall in the Marshal's Mansion, with two sects arranged on each table, bringing the total to one hundred and twenty-four sects.
The fault was not with the government, otherwise no other force would be able to organize such a once-in-a-century event.
The four of them, Hu Long, arrived neither early nor late. When they arrived at the hall, nearly half of the sixty-two seats were filled, and people continued to come and take seats behind them.
A knowledgeable guest arranged seats for the four of them. Sitting with them were Bai Kejian, the head of the "White Crane Sect" in Guangdong, and his three disciples.
Bai Kejian is not young, but he does not have the airs of his predecessors. He took the initiative to say hello after Hu Long sat down.
After the two sides informed each other of their names, Bai Kejian knew that the person in front of him was Hu Long, the "Drunken Immortal" who had recently become famous. He also heard that his identity as the head of the "Eight Drunken Immortals" was the man who killed Wen Zui, the "Thousand Cups layman" in the street. Weng snatched it away and enthusiastically gave him a few words of praise, calling him a man of great merit in eliminating evil in the rivers and lakes.
Gradually, the sixty-two seats were almost filled with people from various sects who had come to the meeting. Perhaps no one had arrived outside the door for a long time. Then a middle-aged man wearing a first-class military attache's uniform walked into the hall from behind and said Orders were given to close the door and no one would be allowed in.
"It's him!" When Bai Kejian saw the military attache, he couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
Hu Yuan saw that the military attache had a calm demeanor, steady steps, and his martial arts seemed to be quite strong, so he asked Bai Kejian for his identity.
Bai Kejian lowered his voice and said: "Headmaster Hu doesn't know something. This person is Gao Jinzhong, the governor of Guangdong, who studied under Feng Daode, the famous Wudang 'Qingjingzi'. He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also in charge of the military power of Guangdong Province. He is really a great person." What a shameless person!"
"It turns out it's him!" Hu Long's eyes flashed coldly, and he nodded and stopped talking.
He had known about this person for a long time, and he even knew that this person could rise from Qingyun to Admiral. At least half of his achievements were in suppressing the anti-Qing forces represented by the "Tiandihui". His hands were indeed stained with the blood of anti-Qing martyrs. . The harm done was even worse than that of Zhang Zhaozhong, the "fire-hand judge" of the time.
It's just that the "Heaven and Earth Society" is still in the stage of lurking and gaining momentum, and has made few moves within the Qing court, so it has not touched him.
This time, we were going to cause a big event anyway, so we simply beat the rabbits in the grass and cut them off.
Gao Jinzhong didn't know that there were already people below who had bad thoughts. He bowed to everyone in the seat and shouted loudly: "Please invite the four masters to come to the table!"
Everyone had already seen that there were four special seats in the hall that had been vacant, and only now did they know why the "four masters" had prepared them.
Many people were still very dissatisfied and thought: "We are all the same leaders, why are you the 'Big Four'?"
But when the four heads came out and were introduced one by one by Gao Jinzhong and invited to take their seats, no one could say anything.
Just because two of these four masters are Zen Master Dazhi, the abbot of Shaolin, and Taoist Wuqingzi, the master of Wudang, they are leaders in the martial arts world; one is Hai Lanbi, the master of the "Black Dragon Sect" in Liaodong. It was the one introduced by the Qing court to prop up the appearance; the last one was the leader of the "Miao Family Sword" and the "Golden Faced Buddha" Miao Renfeng, who was known as the "invincible fighter in the world"!
After the four masters were seated, Gao Jinzhong ordered the banquet to begin. At that time, the servants and maids of the Marshal's Mansion brought all kinds of delicacies, wines and delicacies to the table.
He has no airs of a high-ranking official. He walks around among the guests with a cup in his hand. He is not looking for someone to toast. He can accurately call out the name of the person every time and tell the person's proud martial arts or deeds. He talks and laughs happily. Exquisite on all sides.
Seeing this person's behavior, Hu Yuan was sure that besides his martial arts skills, he also had scheming skills. He was indeed an extraordinary person, and he became more determined to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The banquet lasted until it was time to light the lanterns, and the official host of the conference, Fu Kang'an, finally arrived belatedly.
After he toasted everyone a glass of wine with a smile, he immediately took out the eight jade dragon cups, eight golden phoenix cups, and eight silver carp cups given by the emperor.
In addition to giving each of the four masters a jade dragon cup first, the other twenty cups were placed in the hall, and each sect was required to compete with each other to win the twenty cups that were blessed with a royal halo and represented the supreme glory.
