Hu Longshi's shocking words seemed to be the introduction. Almost everyone in each sect felt abdominal cramps at the same time. Some people who lacked concentration already shouted out in panic:
"Ouch, my stomach hurts!"
“Is it poison in the wine or the food?”
"This is a Hongmen Banquet, and the imperial court is going to kill all of us!"
…
Hu Yuan also made a show of suppressing the abdominal pain, and said to Fukangan with a stern face: "When I was fighting with Master Miao just now, I suddenly felt pain in my abdomen, which seemed to be a sign of poisoning. Today I only ate food and wine from your house. , only then did I know that you are so vicious and want to kill all these heroes in one fell swoop!"
"How can we risk such rudeness? Don't talk nonsense!" Fukang'an tried his best to maintain his composure and argued, "There are so many people in the mansion today, and there is a mix of good and bad among them. It's unknown if someone has bad intentions and poisons people."
Miao Renfeng, who was confronting the guards below, asked coldly: "If someone else poisoned us, why are we friends in the world the only ones suffering abdominal pain from poisoning, while you and your men are safe and sound?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone below looked at Fukangan's innocent guards and maids, and their original suspicion of 40% to 50% suddenly increased to 80% to 90%.
Many of them were already scolding Fukang'an's father-in-law and father-in-law with southern and northern accents, and they all showed their weapons and were ready to move.
The current situation naturally stems from the clever methods of Cheng Lingsu, the descendant of the poisonous hand medicine king.
She secretly ejected the pills to disperse the poisonous smoke, and hid the antidote powder in Hu Long's sleeve in advance, so that he could use his inner strength to blow the powder to Fukang'an by taking advantage of the opportunity of fighting with Miao Renfeng.
In this way, the blame for poisoning people will naturally be firmly placed on Fukangan's head.
Fukang'an could not argue, and after thinking for a while, he could only say helplessly: "You won't believe anything the headquarters says at this moment. How about this, the headquarters immediately sends people to invite a few imperial doctors to come back, and treat everyone in person. How about detoxification?" "
Hu Dong said: "Don't talk about imperial doctors. Even if you take out the antidote right now, even a poor Taoist would not dare to take it."
Then he turned to the people below and said with a louder voice: "Pindao feels that the poison in his belly will not be fatal immediately. Friends, you might as well take some antidote to suppress it temporarily, and then follow Pindao to find a way to escape. After leaving this dragon pool and tiger's den, , Pindao has his own way to detoxify everyone!"
When everyone was hesitating for a moment, Miao Renfeng said: "Miao is naturally more willing to trust Taoist Hu than the officials who usually have ulterior motives. How to deal with tonight's matter, Miao will follow the Taoist's lead!"
After Miao Renfeng, the old Taoist Wu Qingzi, who looked wretched but was the headmaster of Wudang, was the first to express his stance: "Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, as long as I can get back my old life, I am willing to listen to the instructions of fellow Taoist Hu."
"We are also willing to obey the command of Master Hu Long!"
"Taoist Hu Yuan, why don't you lead everyone to defeat these dog officials!"
…
There were random shouts one after another, and Fukangan's face became increasingly ugly.
Hu Yuan smiled and said: "Commander Fu, you are a man of great wealth, and you cannot afford to fight against the sluggards like us. I have an uninvited favor - I would like to excuse you, Marshal, for the time being to send us all away from the capital." The commander-in-chief still walks your Yangguan Road, getting promoted and making money for generations to come; we still walk our single-plank bridge, licking the blood with the blade of the knife to earn a living. We forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and the water in the well will never interfere with the river. I don’t know what the commander-in-chief’s wishes are?"
Fukang'an smiled bitterly: "Taoist priest, you have made it so clear. Do we still have room to refuse?"
After a while, Hu Long still put a hand on Fu Kangan's shoulder and walked out of the Marshal's Mansion side by side with him. He was flanked by two masters, Miao Renfeng and Hu Fei, one old and one new. Behind him were some detoxification drugs. The medicine somewhat alleviated some of the abdominal pain among the people from various sects, followed by Gao Jinzhong, a large number of guards and soldiers from Fukangan's mansion.
In addition, what happened here has alarmed Emperor Qianlong in the palace. Out of anger, he sent an order to mobilize the capital's troops to fight the rebellion, but he repeatedly emphasized that the safety of Fubu Hall must be the top priority.
Qianlong's favor to Fukang'an was known to everyone in the officialdom.
Everyone knows that fighting the rebellion this time is secondary, and saving Fukang'an is the top priority.
If the thief is forced to commit suicide due to greed for merit, he and others will suffer from top to bottom.
Therefore, although large groups of people continued to pour out from all directions, they did not dare to get too close.
This group of nearly ten thousand men and horses meandered all the way out of the city gate.
There was a tea stall on the roadside ahead. Although it was still late at night, I could see people lighting lamps and busy inside from a distance.
After everyone walked in, two people came out carrying large wooden barrels that were emitting steaming heat. However, it was Cheng Lingsu and the brother from the "Tiandihui" who had left the Marshal's Mansion earlier than everyone else, following Hu Long's instructions.
Hu Yuan turned to the people from various sects behind him and said loudly: "Everyone, this Miss Cheng is proficient in the art of Qihuang. She has just rushed here to prepare the antidote to the disease. Let's go and detoxify the poison first. Then let’s go our separate ways!”
As he spoke, he took Fu Kang'an hostage and stepped forward. He was the first to scoop up a cup of hot water with a strong medicinal fragrance and drank it.
Miao Renfeng and Hu Fei followed suit, but Wudang headmaster Wu Qingzi stepped forward and set an example.
The others no longer hesitated when they saw this, and stepped forward to take the antidote one after another.
Cheng Lingsu's poisonous smoke was not fatal except for causing constant stomachache. After drinking the right antidote, the pain immediately disappeared.
The "violent poison" was resolved, and everyone stopped lingering. They hurriedly thanked their two "benefactors", Hu Long and Cheng Lingsu, and left.
In the end, even the brother in the meeting was sent away by Hu Long, and only the four of Hu Long, Miao Renfeng, Cheng Lingsu, and Hu Fei were left to confront the many master guards and soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion and the nearly 10,000 defenders of the capital. The difference between the masses and the few can be described as huge.
Fukang'an was not a fool. At this moment, he had vaguely understood that everything was planned by Hu Long, and guessed that he was from the "Tiandihui" or "Honghuahui" and other anti-Qing forces. He immediately said: "Hu Taoist priest turned his hand to the cloud." Covering your hands like rain, the 'World Heads Conference' that I have painstakingly prepared was brought to a halt without any effort, and I am convinced. If you want to be returned to our headquarters, please put forward all the conditions!"
Hu Long still looked calm and said with a smile: "Commander Fu must have looked down upon himself. What I want, I can only get it myself, and there is no need to exchange hostages. Since Marshal keeps his promise, he will give it to me." When they leave the city, Pindao will naturally keep his promise and send the commander back to the capital. If the commander is still angry, he can command the army to surround Pindao, but..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly let go of Fukangan, and his figure was like a light smoke without substance, rushing toward the large group of Qing court troops on the opposite side.
"Everyone, come together and capture this thief alive!"
Gao Jinzhong was surprised and happy. Although he didn't understand why Hu Yuan was so crazy and tried to defeat thousands of troops by himself, he suddenly thought that this was a great opportunity for him to make a contribution.
As long as this person is captured, Fukangan can be exchanged for him.
With this merit, he can not only offset his previous sins, but also have a chance to win the favor of Fukang'an or even Emperor Qianlong, thereby gaining greater power.
Amidst the shouts, he drew his sword and led the guards of the Marshal's Mansion to face Hu Long. Although he already knew that his martial arts was outstanding and he could not match it, he did not believe that so many people on his side could not control him.
When Hu Long saw dozens of masters headed by Gao Jinzhong on the opposite side rushing within thirty steps in front of him, he suddenly raised his right hand, and the flying knife that had been clasped at the bottom of his palm turned into a cold light and flew out.
The castration was extremely fast. Almost as soon as it left his hand, it penetrated deeply into Gao Jinzhong's throat. Neither he nor the other masters around him had time to respond.
Hu Long didn't even look at the result of the sword attack. He quickly turned around and returned to Fukang'an's side. He said the second half of the sentence without losing his temper or changing his face: "But the commander-in-chief wants to Carefully consider whether you can protect yourself even if you are surrounded by thousands of troops and horses. That's it for now, Commander, please excuse me!"
After saying that, he took a step aside and stood with his arms folded, indicating that he would do as he pleased.
Fukangan saw Gao Jinzhong slumped on the ground and the guards who stopped in astonishment. A cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the sky. His original thoughts disappeared. He barely maintained a bit of dignity and walked back to the guards step by step without any hesitation. He hesitated and ordered to withdraw his troops and return to Beijing.
As he walked, he regretted it. He deeply felt that he should not have attended the "Conference of Leaders of the World" in person and had close contact with these lawless gangsters.
At the same time, he made up his mind that Hu Yuan must be captured and killed, but he could only send out capable men to do it.
Before he was sure that he had captured this person, he would never leave the capital.
Hu Yun had no intention of taking Fu Kangan's life from beginning to end.
When he thought about it, Fukang'an was a timid and timid person, with great ambition and talent, but he was a bit of a stranger and the most favored and trusted by Qianlong. He could almost be classified as a pig teammate in the Qing Dynasty.
For such a person to stay in power in the DPRK is actually beneficial to one's own side.
After all the dust had settled, when Hu Long and others were about to leave, two people suddenly came out from behind the tea shed. One of them held his hands in the distance and smiled: "Young Master Hu is so good at what he does. It really opens my eyes!" "
