Those who move with time are also called flying thieves, also known as thieves.
In the customs of the world, robbers are more valuable than thieves. This is evident from the fact that the Buddhas of later generations also had to choose stubborn masters to follow them.
Shi Qian's skills were so great that he earned the title of "Flea on the Drum". However, in this vast world, there are countless heroes. There are those who despise them, and there are those who despise them. No one despises or despises them. He is the only one who treats them as brothers. Only Lao Cao also.
Just as Lao Cao said in his "Order to Seek Talent" -
"If there must be honest men who can be used later, how can Qi Huanqi dominate the world! Is there anyone in the world today who is caught in a trap and is caught in Weibin? And there is no rogue sister-in-law who receives gold without encountering an ignorant person? How can two or three sons help him? I am open to the humble and humble, and only use the talented to promote it, so I can use it."
After all, Cao Cao's vision was unmatched by anyone at that time.
In his eyes, looking at his talent, there is no one else who can do what Shi Qian can do; looking at his character, Shi Qian has the ambition to repay the knowledge he has received. Is there any reason not to treat him with dignity and courtesy?
Shi Qian never let Cao Cao down. Not to mention those great achievements such as spying on military aircraft, stealing cities and seizing passes, just to mention the word "steal", he first stole the emperor's concubine in Bianjing, and then stole the prince in Huanzhou. Now we go one step further and steal the emperor directly. Isn’t this just in line with an old saying——
Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred!
As far as the time is concerned, in the business of stealing children, it is instinct to adapt to the situation and steal the sheep.
For example, if you were going to steal a silver ingot from someone else's house, and you opened the box and found that the ingot was actually gold, wouldn't you take it?
Before he came, he didn't expect that Zhao Ji would place his son in a different palace, and guard him tightly on the outside but loose on the inside. He must have seen through that his son's abilities were limited, and he was not afraid of him coming out of nowhere. Unexpectedly, only fleas came out of the sky. Now that he discovered After getting the gold ingot, why not just take it away?
At this moment, in the Qingliang Mountain Palace, Shi Qian didn't care that Old Liu was in a daze. While Zhao Huan was writing the Zen edict, he first took off the clothes and armor of the two imperial guards: "Your Majesty, General Liu, please pretend that you two are guards. Follow my orders."
At this time, Zhao Huan also waved the edict and handed it over respectfully with both hands: "General Shi, let's take a look. Is it appropriate to write it like this?"
Shi Qian took it over and glanced at it. He saw that the paper was full of flying smoke and the calligraphy was beautiful. He first praised: "Good calligraphy!"
What he wrote was: "Your Majesty the King of Wei: In the past, Emperor Yao was in the Zen position of Yu and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu. The destiny of heaven is not ordinary, but it can only be virtuous..." There are about a few hundred words in it, and the wording is quaint.
When it comes to the literary talent of the times, singing a song is the limit. It is really laborious to let him see the quality of real classical Chinese. He only praised casually: "His Majesty is really talented for writing such old words in just a moment. It's so smooth." "
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "Since I have given up the throne, I can no longer call you Your Majesty, so I might as well follow the example of Brother Wu and be commensurate with your brothers."
After a pause, he said: "As for this edict, in a hurry, I was afraid that it would be poorly written and make people laugh, so I copied the original edict from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Wei, and only changed a few words. When I have time, I will write it down. Just think carefully about a good article."
When Shi Qian heard this, he was in awe, and he thought that he was worthy of being an emperor. Although he was not very capable in governing the country, he was so serious in writing the edict of the Zen throne, which showed that he was truly educated.
Liu Yanqing quickly put on women's clothing and armor, and while helping Zhao Huan put it on, he said: "Shi Qian, although my brother Zhao is willing to abdicate, he is a nobleman after all. You lead him into a dog hole, I’m just afraid it’s inappropriate.”
Shi Qian smiled and said, "That's right. How can a noble man hide in a dog's hole?"
He looked around, first picked up a cup of cold tea, took off Liu Yanqing's makeup, and then helped Zhao Huan dress properly and put on the waist knife. Then he turned around, picked one of the two heads of the dead guard, and cut them off with a click. The next one comes.
When Zhao Huan saw him cutting off his head, he was so frightened that he felt weak and weak.
Here Shi Qian cut off the human head, untied the bun and put the hair on it. He found a large fruit plate and placed the head in it. Then he put the pajamas that Zhao Huan had changed on the head of the fruit plate and gave it to Liu Yanqing to hold in his chest.
Then he moved the two corpses onto the dragon bed to cover them, and told Liu and Zhao: "You two should follow me and just walk. I will handle any trouble."
As he spoke, he rolled up the edict of surrender written by Zhao Huan and held it high in his right hand. He held his head high and his chest high, and walked forward. Liu Yanqing and Zhao Huan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed him.
At this time, the sky was already slightly green, and Shi Qian and the three of them were walking openly and honestly. They met several guards on the road and were about to ask. Shi Qian glared and ignored them, just walking. The guards were angry and were about to stop them. Suddenly he saw Shi Qian holding up the edict, and Liu Yanqing's hand was bulging with bulging trays, and blood was seeping through the gauze. He was shocked and quickly shut up and gave way.
Zhao Huan lowered his head and noticed the actions of the guards. He was filled with hatred and fear: Yes! These guys all thought that Shi Qian had come to take my head on the order of the old dog. Everyone knew it, but everyone refused to speak up. It can be seen that there is no one in the Song Dynasty who is loyal! Fortunately, I am smart and sensible, and exchanged this unstable state for my own survival. Hum, from now on I will also learn from Cangzhou's 'little whirlwind', and live a happy life as a wealthy idler——
correct! What should I call my nickname?
This guy originally had limited mental ability, and he would stagger like a weakling when walking. Now that he was distracted by thinking about his nickname, his steps became more steady.
Shi Qian led the two of them in a swaggering way until they walked to the main entrance of the palace. Finally, someone came up to stop them and asked, "Hey! You guys, please stop there. There is a martial law inside and outside the palace. Where are you going?"
Liu Yanqing glanced at him, his heart pounding in fear. The person blocking the road was none other than Luo E, the "crocodile tyrant" who had been working under Zhang Bangchang at first, and later teamed up with the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou to rob Zhao Huanan. !
Luo E and Liu Yanqing had naturally seen each other before, but Liu Yanqing had lost his beard now, and for a moment he only felt familiar and did not recognize him.
As for Zhao Huan, he lowered his head for a while, and couldn't imagine it at all, so he didn't take a closer look.
Shi Qian didn't know Luo E, but when he saw his splendid attire, he knew that the troops inside and outside the palace were afraid of him being the leader, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He raised the edict in one fell swoop and said in a low voice: "I am the secret envoy of the Imperial City Secretary. The Supreme Emperor has issued an edict to handle a major event, so I advise you not to ask any more questions."
There were many eunuchs in the Imperial City Division, and their attire was similar to that of the eunuchs in the palace, with only subtle markings. Shi Qian's clothes were originally stolen from him after he defeated the Imperial City Division. .
Luo E took a closer look and recognized the attire of the Imperial City Secretary. He glanced at the head in Liu Yanqing's arms, frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Fart! The Supreme Emperor appointed Luo to guard this place. If you want to do something, why not?" Send this general?"
Shi Qian looked around, took a step closer, and said with a slight smile: "General Jian is in the emperor's heart, and will be of great use in the future. The Supreme Emperor is sage and kind, how can he let these things stain the general's reputation?"
After that, he patted Luo E's chest twice, which seemed to point out his value as Zhao Ji's confidant.
Luo E rolled his eyes and suddenly understood!
He returned from Xijing this time, stabbed Zhang Bangchang to death, and kidnapped the new emperor. His contribution was extremely great. Zhao Ji made him a general of the auxiliary country on the spot. This was a military post of the second rank. He was only under the general of Hussars, and he was allowed to personally Leading the army and guarding the Qingliang Mountain Palace cannot be said to be untrustworthy.
Nowadays, Luo E is also aware of the situation in the imperial court: Tong Guan and Cai Jing are getting older and older, and the old generals have suffered heavy casualties in successive defeats. Especially in the Battle of Bianliang, many old powerful officials were killed. , a lot of positions are vacant in the court. With his great achievements, in the future when the Supreme Emperor is restored, won't he take them all?
However, the reputation of a father killing his son is extremely unpleasant. As a person, Zhao Ji would probably find someone to take the blame. He had already planned to be infamy for thousands of years for the sake of power. But now it seems that the Supreme Emperor is extremely loving and refuses to let him Instead of bearing this stigma, he found someone from the Imperial City Division to be the vicious dog.
Thinking about it again, if the Imperial City Secretary hadn't taken action and he deployed heavy defenses last night, how could three unfamiliar faces suddenly appear in the palace?
For a moment, Luo E even shed tears of gratitude and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the old man Taishang Huang is so wise, so wise!"
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Give way, are all of you blind? Sirs from the Imperial City Division, are you able to stop them?"
Hearing this, the soldiers and horses at the door quickly made way for them. Luo E crossed his arms and looked at the rising sun. He seemed to be fascinated by today's sunrise scenery and never looked at Shi Qian and others again.
Shi Qian smiled proudly, led Liu Yanqing and Zhao Huan away, turned around the foot of the mountain, and saw that no one was around. He stuffed the edict into his arms, picked up the head that Liu Yanqing was holding, and opened it with a big kick. Without a trace, he said to the two of them: "Okay, this matter is over. Now the three of us are imperial envoys appointed by Zhao Ji himself, and we have been ordered to go out of the city to investigate the traces of the thieves who caused trouble in the Imperial City last night."
Liu Yanqing was surprised: "Have you become an imperial envoy again? There are no documents or seals, so how can you pretend to be one?"
Shi Qian said with a smile: "It depends on how big the official position that guy was just now is."
After saying that, he took out a golden waist badge from his arms and gave it to Liu Yanqing: "I don't have much official status. I want to pretend to be a general, which is exactly what General Liu is."
Liu Yanqing took it and looked at it, and immediately became furious: "General of the auxiliary country! I have fought for the country in the north and south. I have been a soldier all my life, and I have only been able to become a second-rank military envoy. Luo E is a dog with so much virtue and ability. Bigger than my official."
Zhao Huan said bitterly: "One day, this thief will have to pay with his blood!"
With this second-grade general's waist card and Liu Yanqing's general demeanor, the guard sergeant naturally did not dare to stop him and opened the door obediently, leaving them to "track the whereabouts of the thief."
The three of them walked out of the west gate, and after a short walk, they arrived at the dock. Shi Qian took out his money, rented a ferry, and leisurely crossed the river and headed north.
This is exactly:
The fish takes off the golden hook and goes away, swaying its tail and shaking its head and never comes back again!
At the same time, Lu Zhishen and his entourage galloped all the way, and arrived in front of a beautiful mountain peak dozens of miles east of Jinling City.
This mountain has a great reputation. It was called Juqu Mountain and Difei Mountain in ancient times. Later, during the Western Han Dynasty, San Mao Zhenjun practiced cultivation here and ascended to heaven. From then on, it was named Maoshan. It is the location of the "First Blessed Place and the Eighth Cave Heaven" of Taoism.
On the top of Maoshan Mountain, there is a Taoist Palace, which was built during the Shaosheng period of the Song Dynasty. It was named "Yuanfu Temple". After Zhao Laoguan's family came here to travel, it was renamed "Yuanfu Wanning Palace". There is also a Chongxi Temple at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Ji dispatched Jinling Mansion Two hundred soldiers were stationed on this mountain to patrol and sweep Wanning Palace and Chongxi Temple.
Why did Lu Zhishen and others come here? However, Shi Jin was tortured by Kui Xiangyang for several days, and his injuries were extremely serious, which was difficult to treat except for famous doctors. Yu Wupo was anxious and suddenly remembered that Tao Hongjing, the former "Prime Minister of the Mountains", once practiced in Maoshan, passed down Shangqing Taoism, and founded the Maoshan sect. , today's Chongxi Temple is the "Huayang Lower Courtyard" where Tao Hongjing lives. His Taoism, Alchemy Sutra, and medical skills are all spread here. The real person Chen Chiyi who is now the abbot of Chongxi Temple is a master here.
Fortunately, the Chongxi Temple is located at the southern foot of the mountain, so it saves the effort of climbing the mountain. Hundreds of people and horses galloped all the way to the temple. The soldiers and horses guarding the temple were already alarmed. They came out to stop them and asked, "What are you doing?" Humans? This is a paradise in the cave, how dare you intrude?"
Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "Brothers from the Sa family were seriously injured. I heard that there is a master named Chen here who has amazing medical skills. He came here to seek medical treatment. I was anxious and rushed along the way. I hope this official will forgive me."
The officer heard the words and sneered: "There are two famous temples in Maoshan, one is Yuanfu Wanning Palace and the other is Chongxi Temple. They are both enshrined by the current saint. If ordinary people want to burn incense and ask questions, they can go to other Taoist temples."
After hearing this, Lu Zhishen said anxiously: "Other Taoist temples do not have Chen Zhenren who is proficient in medical skills."
The officer laughed even more after hearing this, shook his head and said, "It's funny. What does this have to do with me? I have been ordered by the emperor to guard the Taoist priests here to practice quietly. I don't ask about anything else."
Lu Zhishen couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "The Sa family is asking for help from Master Chen. You are so entangled with others that you have made the Sa family angry. I will teach you how to bleed in front of me! Get out of here quickly!"
The officer and general were guarding this pure Taoist temple with nothing to do every day, and they were extremely bored. As the saying goes, doing nothing would cause trouble. Although he saw that everyone in Lu Zhishen's group was strong, he didn't know where the courage came from, so his expression changed and he said: "You dare to confront me in person? I have never seen a monk call himself a member of the Sa family. I think you guys are probably the remnants of the Ming Cult. Come on, capture these people and send them to the Yamen for torture."
After Lu Zhishen heard this, he laughed loudly, turned around and handed Shi Jin into Chen Da's arms. He jumped off the horse, took out his Zen staff from the side of the saddle, strode forward, and said in his mouth: "You are here to stay here day after day." Taoist temple, unexpectedly, I also got some magical powers, how did you know that the Sa family is a remnant of the Ming sect?"
He raised his hand and struck it with a stick. The officer wanted to hide, but how could he be as fast as his stick? With a bang, it turned into a ball of meat.
The other officers and soldiers were shocked and shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion!"
Lu Zhishen was worried about Shi Jin's injury, so he suppressed his temper and talked to the guys. Unexpectedly, he was not able to control himself. Now he got angry and couldn't control himself. He strode into the crowd with a Zen stick and danced wildly, instantly beating the crowd. A bloody mess.
Yu Wupo shouted: "Since we have taken action and killed all these guys, don't let him walk alone!"
At that moment, all the heroes came together and rushed in all directions. The hundred generals could not even shout out "Our army is defeated" and were instantly turned into powder.
This big commotion immediately alarmed the Taoist priests in the temple. They could only hear the hurried steps. One or two hundred old Taoist priests, young Taoist priests, old and medium Taoist priests rushed out of the Taoist temple one after another. Some were holding hoes and wooden sticks in their hands, and some were holding hoes and wooden sticks in their hands. Holding rolling pins and kitchen knives in their hands, the Taoist priests led by them, all holding bright long swords, shouted: "How dare you kill people indiscriminately in a pure place of monkhood!"
Lu Zhishen's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he said something!
