Outside a meditation hall in the "Mercy Temple", Miao Renfeng, Hu Fei and everyone from the "Honghua Club" were sitting or standing around the courtyard, but they were faintly guarding the entire meditation hall.
At this time, the sky was already bright. Huo Qingtong, Luo Bing, Zhou Qi, Li Yunzhi and other female relatives in the "Red Flower Club" called Cheng Lingsu and went to the nunnery together to find the abbot. They took out some money in exchange for some rice, grains and vegetables, and went to the kitchen to cook Some simple meals were brought out and delivered to everyone's hands.
Everyone was eating absentmindedly, their eyes constantly looking at the closed meditation hall, where Hu Yuan and Chen Jialuo were having a secret conversation, and the final result would inevitably affect the future of the 70,000 to 80,000 heroes of the "Red Flower Society".
Until the end of the morning and the beginning of the morning, the door of the meditation hall opened inwards, and Hu Long and Chen Jialuo walked out one after another.
"Chief Helmsman!"
The heroes of the "Red Flower Club" were most concerned about the outcome of the secret conversation between the two, and they all came forward to cast inquiring glances.
Chen Jialuo bowed to the people around him and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, we, the sons and daughters of the world, have made a huge promise. Since we lost the bet before, we naturally have to admit defeat without any intention of repudiation. From now on, the 'Heaven and Earth Club' and the 'Honghua Club' They are just one family, working together to achieve the great cause of revitalizing the Han Dynasty."
Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Hu Huan on the side also raised his hands and smiled: "Pindao has made it clear to Mr. Chen that from now on, the 'Tiandihui' will still be the 'Tiandihui', and will still be responsible for managing overseas forces and preparing for the opportunity." "The 'Red Flower Club' is still the 'Red Flower Club', which plans to attack the Qing court's cronies in the country. By cooperating with the inside and outside, sooner or later, one day the Qing court will be overthrown and the Han family will be restored!"
"well said!"
Knowing that the "Honghua Society" was not to be completely merged into the "Tiandi Society" and that it still retained great independence, everyone felt at ease and applauded Hu Long.
Chen Jialuo said solemnly: "Everyone has seen the martial arts and abilities of Master Hu. From now on in the Red Flower Club, from Chen on down, all the Taoist leaders will follow suit. Anyone who violates the rules is not my brother, and everyone will punish them." !”
Everyone knew that this was the best result. At that time, they all raised their hands and said: "We will obey the orders of the chief helmsman."
Then they all formally paid homage to Hu Yuan and expressed their respect.
Among them, although Yu Zhenhai also saluted with everyone, there was a hint of unwillingness and resentment hidden in his eyes that was difficult to suppress.
After everyone had finished paying homage to Hu Long, Chen Jialuo asked about his next move. After hearing Hu Long say that he would go to Guangdong for business, he immediately turned back to Wen Tailai and said, "Fourth brother, I will invite our Red Flower Club out in the future." 'The undersea roster, I will trouble you to personally escort it to Guangdong to present it to the Taoist Priest."
At this moment, Yu Zhenhai was standing beside Chen Jialuo. When he heard the news, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"Bang!"
In the royal study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Qianlong, whose beard and hair were gray but still energetic, was full of anger, and he violently smashed a blue and white pen on the desk worth a thousand gold to the ground and smashed it to pieces.
As he gets older, he has rarely been so angry in recent years.
But this time Fukangan, who was more favored than other princes, was captured for the second time. This not only greatly damaged the court's face, but also reminded him of an unbearable experience that year, and the raging anger in his heart was really difficult to contain.
"This slave is incompetent, please calm down, Your Majesty!"
Under the thunderous wrath of the emperor, except for Fukang'an, who was standing beside him, more than a dozen second- and third-grade military attachés who had participated in last night's incident knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
Qianlong was extremely angry, but his expression calmed down, and he smiled coldly: "Incompetent, how can you be so incompetent! In this important place of the capital, a few rebels actually kidnapped my Minister of War as if they were in an uninhabited land, and even more so in this important place of the capital. After beheading my Admiral of Guangdong, Shi Shiran, among thousands of troops, he escaped wholeheartedly. It seems that next time that Taoist Hu Yun comes to Beijing, he can go straight into the Forbidden Palace to take my head!"
After hearing such heart-wrenching words, all the military attachés trembled in their hearts. They could no longer say a word and could only kowtow like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing that the fire was about to get hot, Fu Kang'an on the side came out and bowed in front of everyone and said: "Your Majesty, this 'World Heads Conference' was handled by Wei Chen. Now something has gone wrong and it has been self-defeating. The whole blame lies with Wei." I am one person!"
Qianlong really loved this illegitimate son very much. When he saw that he had taken over all the responsibilities, he could no longer express his anger. He only gave Fu Kang'an a moment of cold treatment as punishment, and then he snorted heavily and said, "Get up and say something back." !”
After Fukang'an calmly thanked him and stood up, he asked with a stern face: "What is the origin of that Taoist Hu Yuan who can make such a noise?"
Fukangan also had some talent. By this time, he had found out some information and immediately reported back: "This person has a mysterious origin. He only appeared in the world this spring. He is famous for single-handedly destroying the 'Five Tiger Clan' that dominates Lingnan." He was so loud that he was nicknamed the "Drunken Immortal". After entering Beijing last month, he killed Wen Zuiweng, the leader of the "Eight Drunken Immortals", on the street and took his invitation to attend the meeting. Little did he know that he was harboring evil intentions. Thinking about it afterwards Come on, that Miao Renfeng is probably colluding with him to stage a show, and even the so-called poisoning was secretly done by them."
Qianlong frowned and said: "According to what you said, this person has high martial arts skills and deep scheming. Even if he is trying to catch him by drawing shadows and patterns in the world, it will be useless to be afraid."
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Fukangan raised his hands and said, "Facing such martial arts masters, the police officers in the local government have neither the ability nor the courage to count on them."
Qianlong nodded and said: "In that case, only the special masters are chasing after me. I don't know that Deb, who was given a yellow mantle, leader of the Imperial Guards, and the first warrior in Manchuria, and the four Manchus and Five Mongols he commanded , Jiuzang Monk, the Eighteen Masters of the Great Neighborhood, is it possible that he can take on this person?"
Fukang'an pondered for a moment, then turned around and said to the person kneeling at the end of the military attachés: "Haizuo Ling, you are also a great expert in martial arts. What are your opinions on this?"
That person was Hai Lanbi, the leader of Liaodong's "Black Dragon Clan" who was promoted as one of the four leaders. He also served as the assistant leader of the Xianghuang Banner Xiaoqi Battalion. His official rank was fourth rank, the lowest among all the military attachés.
Hearing Fukangan's question, he raised his head first, but hesitated to speak.
Fukang'an saw that he had doubts, so he comforted him with gentle words: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be lost. You can act according to your conscience, and everything will be taken care of by this department."
Hai Lanbi finally spoke: "I would like to report to your Majesty, the martial arts displayed by Taoist Hu Long are truly astonishing. Although I have been practicing martial arts for decades, I was lucky enough to be favored by Marshal Fu and conferred the honor of being one of the Four Masters, but I still think that He is far from his opponent. Lord Deb also competed with the slave once, but they didn’t win or lose, I’m afraid..."
Qianlong and Fukang'an naturally knew the unfinished meaning of his words. Since Deb couldn't defeat Hailanbi, he was naturally no match for Hu Long, who claimed to be inferior to Hailanbi.
"How unreasonable!" Qianlong said with a look of dismay, "We, the Manchus, built their country by force, so why can't we find a warrior who can defeat Taoist Hu Yuan?"
However, Hai Lanbi cupped his hand and said, "I'm so bold and want to recommend someone to the emperor."
Qianlong was a little surprised and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and play."
Hai Lanbi said: "Recently, the slave's junior brother Erdo came to the capital from outside the customs and is currently living in the slave's house. Although he is the slave's junior brother, due to his extraordinary talent, he has practiced several types of martial arts in the 'Black Dragon Gate' The martial arts skills of a nearly lost skill are far superior to those of the slaves. If the emperor can use it in an exceptional way, and the slave dares to guarantee his wealth and life, he will definitely be able to live up to the emperor's favor."
Qianlong Longyan was so happy that he issued an edict: "Xuan!"
Early the next morning, a group of people came out of the south gate of the capital at lightning speed. When the soldiers guarding the city inquired out of curiosity, they learned that it was Erdo, the emperor's newly appointed admiral of the Nine Sects, leading the eighteen masters of the palace and the elite soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. Beijing office errand.
