"If I hadn't been squeezed out by them overtly or covertly, do you think I would have joined the Lotus Gang? Speaking of which, my grandfather had been doing business with the Lotus Gang since his generation, and Brother Guo was also the savior of my father and me. Last year, the imperial court took ruthless measures and swallowed
If they steal our goods and cause me to be deeply in debt, I will simply stop doing one thing and join the gang!"
"Is it Zhennanguan? No wonder Brother Guo must go to the capital to inform you. I can't even persuade you to retreat. It turns out there are friends like you." He Qizhou said.
"Well, he came here to plead guilty, but what can he do if the imperial court takes action? If that's the case, then we will find a way to get it back!" Fukuyama said.
"The Helian family was probably worried about domestic unrest, so they didn't dare to send troops south." He Qizhou guessed.
"I can't care about so much. By the way, speaking of a place to stay in the city, there is actually one place. Last year, a friend hanged himself after losing all his property. No one wants that dilapidated house. If you don't dislike it, I
You can ask someone to clean it up," Fukuyama said.
"If I am discovered by officials, will it affect you?" He Qizhou asked.
"Probably not. That house is one of the gathering places for gang members in the city. We have already made plans to give up. I can ask the brothers not to go there for the time being, but the place is a bit out of the way." Fukuyama said.
"That's best. I'll take someone there tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for you there tomorrow." After Fushan finished speaking, he told He Qizhou the address. The house was in the northeast corner of the outer city, and it was indeed very remote.
"By the way, I still have some things I want to know about." He Qizhou said.
"Please tell me everything you know!"
"Okay. Do you know which of the princes is more powerful? What is the reputation of the prince?"
"It's really difficult for me to ask the prince who has the upper hand, but the prince is famous for being cruel, domineering, lustful and shameless. Could it be that you arrested the prince?" Fukuyama was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
"No, no, it's another prince. Do you know about the Mutang Autumn Election?"
"I've heard that every year Qinglong Temple will select a group of masters from the wooden hall to enrich the team. This year it seems to be particularly big. Several halls have even released the high position of fourth-grade captain! It seems that the selection will start in a few days.
In the past two days, young masters from all over the country have come to Beijing." Fukuyama said.
"I have two horses that are Tianju. I want to keep them in Kuocheng. Do you have a reliable place?"
"Yes, there is a mill at the foot of the hill in the north of the city that belongs to me. You can deposit it there tomorrow morning. There are all brothers in the gang inside. I will tell my subordinates later."
"Great. One more question, have you heard of He Qingshan?"
"He Qingshan? I've never heard of it." Fushan thought carefully and replied firmly.
He Qizhou was slightly disappointed, and after asking some common sense questions about Qingcheng, left in a hurry. When he walked out of the small room, Hu Ji on the stage had just taken off her cloak, revealing her white and soft waist, and looked at her with a resentful look.
Taking a look at He Qizhou, I thought to myself, why did this man, who looked like he was willing to reward me, leave without taking a few glances?
He Qizhou hurried out of the city gate before dark. When they returned to the inn outside the city, Xu Mu and the others had already had dinner, and food was left in the room for He Qizhou. The four of them asked for the largest suite and let Cao Yun stay in the outer room.
, He Qizhou, Xu Mu and Helian Changji lived in the inner room. Helian Changji had already had his acupuncture points tapped and left him on the couch in the inner room. He Qizhou sent Cao Yun to the outer room, quietly informed Xu Mu of the situation after entering the city, and then pulled up Helian Changji.
Changji began to ask questions.
"Sixth Prince, we can consider getting rid of the Crown Prince for you, but now you must tell us how to get close to the Crown Prince. In addition, where is He Qingshan? I advise you to tell us early. If someone really recognizes your identity
, don’t blame me for being cruel and ruthless." He Qizhou said.
"What if you kill me directly after I told you? How can I trust you?" Helian Changji said.
"Then what do you want to do? As long as I kill He Qingshan, I can let you go, but I can't accompany you forever, let alone blatantly take you into the city!" He Qizhou said.
"Okay." Helian Changji thought for a while and said, "Then I will believe you for once, He Qingshan is in the wooden hall!"
"Where is the prince? Have you thought about how to do it?" He Qizhou continued to ask.
"I don't want to lie to you. The prince's martial arts skills are not very good, but he is always protected by masters. That guy has done many evil things and is so afraid of death..."
Xu Mu sneered: "You still have the nerve to criticize him!"
"I'm really much better than him. It's just that you guys pushed me into a hurry, so I did so many stupid things. I promise to change my past mistakes in the future..." Helian Changji argued.
"Stop talking, I'm about to vomit. Keep talking, Prince." Xu Mu frowned.
"I really have a way to kill two birds with one stone." Helian Changji said proudly, waiting for the two people in the room to ask each other. Unexpectedly, the two of them were just waiting patiently, so they could only continue to talk:
"The autumn election is different from the spring election. All officials are selected. This is a good opportunity to get close to the prince. Several halls of Qinglong Temple will take this opportunity to compete for young talents. At that time, Helian Changjie, oh, the prince's name was He
Company Commander Jie, he will definitely go to the scene. You can just pretend to be those two fools from Anzhou Mutang. After winning the election, you will vote for the prince. In order to win people's hearts, he will definitely meet you personally. That is the best opportunity.
, Besides, sneaking into the wooden hall will also make it easier for you to assassinate He Qingshan."
He Qizhou and Xu Mu looked at each other and had the same thought in their hearts: It is indeed a good idea! But would Helian Changji be so kind?
"Let's talk about the autumn election. How can you guarantee that we won't be recognized?" He Qizhou asked.
Helian Changji said: "Dazhou is such a big place, and there are so few people selected. Almost no one knows anyone outside the capital. Besides, Anzhou is located in a remote place, and no one will pay attention. You just need to remember Anzhou.
The leader of the Zhongzhou faction can just be named Lian Kang, he should be the father of those two people."
Xu Mu said: "I heard that the Qingcheng Zhongzhou Sect was a famous sect in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Did anyone from them join? Does anyone know anyone from the Lian family?"
Helian Changji hurriedly said: "Except for the Tianlong Sect, the Zhongzhou sect is the most taught martial arts in our court. How can he remember coming here? Speaking of which, I will provide you with another piece of news. The name of the leader of the Zhongzhou sect in the capital is Yelu Xingsheng, from the Yongquan realm.
, he is also the deputy hall master of Mu Hall, I know you all know Zhongzhou School Kung Fu, with your talents, as long as you hide into the four veins, almost no one can see it."
He Qizhou blushed and said, "I don't know how to detect veins. Let me ask you, what is the relationship between Yelv Xingsheng and Yelv Xingtong?"
"He is the younger brother of Yelv Xingtong. The reason why the Zhongzhou sect in the capital has grown is not only because it is close to our Helian family, but also because the Yelv family improved the Zhongzhou martial arts and carried it forward." Helian Changji said.
"Who is the leader of Mu Hall? Are there any deputy hall masters? If we want to pretend to be Lian brothers, what else should we pay attention to?" He Qizhou asked.
Helian Changji said: "Then you should fight with the six meridians. It is not impossible to have two meridians within a year. Maybe Helian Changjie will think more highly of you. The name of the master of the wooden hall is Yan Wuji, who is in the spring realm.
;The other deputy hall master is named Ye Cai, who is at the pinnacle of the Eight Meridians."
"Where did they come from?" Xu Mu asked.
"They are all Tianlong Sect."
"Who is your person?" Xu Mu stared into Helian Changji's eyes and continued to ask.
"The hall master must be from my father, and Ye Cai is my senior brother." Helian Changji said with certainty.
"Who will choose the candidates? What kind of competition system will be used, and whose power will each hall belong to?" He Qizhou continued to ask, even if it is a risk, he must be fully prepared.
"How can we tell clearly at this hour and a half?" Helian Changji shouted.
"Pick the key points!"
Helian Changji said: "Well, the five halls will announce in advance how many people need to be recruited and how many positions will be arranged. Then the candidates can choose a hall to compete. The winner will win a high position, while the loser may also be recruited by other halls.
The dissatisfied halls are hiring. Most of the candidates are the chief and deputy hall masters, and there are also emperors who want to hire bodyguards. In previous years, the normal situation is that the competition will start on the first day of October and will be completed on the second day of the lunar month. It is only four days from now.
The Fire Hall is controlled by the emperor; the leader of the Shuitang Hall is also the emperor's employee, but the prince has a strong influence in the Shuitang. Applying for the position in the Shuitang is equivalent to taking refuge in the prince; the Tutang and the Jintang are a bit complicated, with all forces infiltrating.
It depends on the specific position; Mutang generally doesn't recruit many people, and it used to be Chi Yan's territory."
"You mean we go to the water hall competition?" Xu Mu asked.
"Yes, Shuitang and Tutang are the most popular places for students to choose. Both will get extra benefits after joining the job, so the competition will be fierce. Although the status and salary of Huotang are quite high, it is easy for people to die, especially at this time.
The situation. As for the Jintang, it depends on whether you can find the right master. You can directly report to the Mutang tomorrow with the wooden sign and household certificate of the Lian brothers, and then choose the position in the Shuitang, you should have the opportunity to get close to the prince.
"Helian Changji said.
"Can I live in the water hall after I report?" He Qizhou continued to ask.
"It may be difficult. After all, the autumn election only lasts a few days. The wooden hall does not prepare so many guest rooms. Most people from outside will still find their own accommodation." Helian said.
"There is another question, and it is also the biggest question. Shen Tinggu has seen my face, what should he do?"
"Then you can use your true face, or change your face." Helian Changji said.
"He knows his true face." He Qizhou said and looked at Xu Mu.
"Shameless!" Xu Mu spread his hands in embarrassment, and no face suitable for He Qizhou was lost.
"He should be very familiar with my figure. He will probably be able to spot my flaw with just one move. I won't take this risk," He Qizhou said.
"That's okay. You can sign up first. There will be no hall masters watching the competition on the first day. On the second day, each family will recruit from their own families. The places must be staggered. There are more than a dozen martial arts performances in the wooden hall.
Hall, so we may not encounter it.”
"You'll be dead if you encounter him!" He Qizhou said. He knew that although he had recovered 70% to 80% of his injuries, he was still no match for Shen Tinggu, not to mention the many masters in the wooden hall.
"Believe me, their Huotang will recruit a lot of people this time. He doesn't have time to come over and see you!"
"I have found a place to live in the city. We will discuss it when we go to the city tomorrow." He Qizhou tapped two more acupuncture points on Helian Changji to make him fall asleep.
