An Daoquan didn't even have the strength to curse now, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit that he knew anything about the An family's treasure collection, nor did he know anything about the gold bars and gold collars hidden under the ancestral tablets at home.
Fortunately, the beating wasn't too severe, it was just some superficial injuries.
Li Wei looked at the two black elixirs in the jade plate in front of his eldest brother, worried... "Brother... life is determined by God, you have to think twice!"
Li Huo smiled: "It doesn't matter, just let someone try it!"
A dying official of the Zhao and Song dynasties was brought in, tortured and seriously ill, and the man was already breathing out too much and taking in too little.
"Give him one pill and see if it has any effect!"
Gongsun Sheng's plan was, first, to take advantage of the relationship between the Li family and take the opportunity to dedicate the pills to Fang La! As soon as he died, the Manichaean soldiers would immediately fall apart. After all, he was the backbone and spiritual sustenance of these people!
Secondly, it would be nice if the head of the Li family could be poisoned to death, so that he would not be able to conspire to rebel again and harm the innocent people in Jiangnan who were already being tortured by Ying Fengju.
But Li didn't seem to have any intention of introducing him to Fang La. Instead, he quietly sent someone to take care of the two Taoist priests.
A month later, Xu Hu, the general of the Holy Duke who was guarding Jinling, received the decree of the Holy Duke and led 5,000 troops to rush to the aid of the Holy Duke's Marshal Fang Qifo in preparation for the attack on Xiuzhou...
Xu Hu knew that he was able to prosper under Shenggong Fan La because of the secret support of the head of the Li family. It was not that Fang La was unaware of Li's plan, but Shenggong, who already controlled more than fifty counties in six states, had
Don't take people like Li seriously anymore.
Xu Hu knelt down on one knee and cried: "Master, the Holy Duke has issued a decree... Let me transport 100,000 guan of military pay from Jinling! There are also 50,000 dan of food and grass to be transported to Marshal Fang Qifu's military camp before October, otherwise I will take it
He has lost my official position and life... and wants me to fall into hell and never be reborn! Master, you have to save me..."
Looking at this useless piece of shit, Li Huo was furious... He sneered and waved his hands: "Why are you crying? Fang La is giving me an ultimatum... One hundred thousand guan, fifty thousand shi! My Li family has many assets.
, but it’s not like he just took it as soon as he issued a decree..."
Li Wei on the side looked at his brother's ruddy face and excited spirit, and said softly: "Master, the money we used to support Fang La already amounted to 300,000 yuan... The Jiangnan area can no longer spare much money.
, the wars are going on these days, and many businesses have lost all their money, and if Fang La is extorted like this again... the foundation of the Li family in Jiangnan will be shaken!"
"This is a test! Testing An Daoquan and the treasure left by the previous dynasty... to see if An Daoquan was kidnapped by us! We can't eat the money, Fang La is just a withered bone in the grave now... waste a penny on him
It’s all a loss-making business!”
Li Wei nodded: "Then let me wait and withdraw from Jinling for the time being? Wait until the court pacifies Fang La and then come out to clean up the property?"
Li Huo chuckled and said: "Last night, I showed the medical book from the An family to the immortal master... An expert is an expert! Immortal master, since it is a secret book, there will be no simple hints...
Does An's family have some oral formulas or something like that, which should be used in conjunction with the secret book?"
Li Wei frowned: "Has the head of the family told all these things to the immortal master?"
"In the end, I asked someone to recite all the Tangtou songs inherited by the An family, and I discovered some clues... five or six Bupleurum, seven Angelicae, thirteen Ai Zhuo and nine Heart Pairs! The immortal master actually pressed twelve in the medical book
The number of the first soup song was found to be twenty-four characters in the book!"
Li Wei waved his hand to the confused Xu Hu to retreat. Looking at the flushed and excited Li Huo, he said, "Brother, you must be careful with these words. People like Xu Hu can't hear them..."
"Hahaha... Jindongtian... Hahaha... I found it! Just outside the city on the Purple Mountain, the Great Ci'en Temple built by His Majesty the King... the pagoda and the underground palace!"
Li Wei was surprised and said: "The Da Ci'en Temple has been destroyed by the war, and the pagoda has collapsed into ruins... Where did the underground palace come from!"
Li Huo shook his head... "While Fang La doesn't know, we will seal the Purple Mountain tonight and dig the underground palace overnight! After taking out the treasure and gold, we will hibernate... watching the green slave confuse the faint king's mind and make him
The country will continue to deteriorate! Let’s buy mines, buy officials and titles... build weapons and recruit soldiers and horses! Use gold and food to make friends with the Jurchens! Build a naval army..."
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. Ever since his eldest brother took the immortal master's elixir, his body had become better day by day, but his mind seemed to be getting more and more irrational?
But my eldest brother regarded that immortal master as a god, and he only got scolded and scolded by his elder brother several times when he reminded me. This... This time, the immortal master actually solved the problem of the Southern Tang relic with ease. Could it be that I was really wrong?
Already?
"Whether the Immortal Master is right or not depends on whether the legacy treasure can be successfully taken out tonight... Brother, as time goes by, if that money..."
Li Huo frowned and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is the suffering that your and my brothers' ancestors suffered in the Western Regions come to a crisis? This is the gold and silver left by our ancestors to us. It is our greatest hope for restoring the Southern Tang Dynasty... I, the Southern Tang Dynasty
How rich were we back then? If it hadn’t been for the evil monks of the Buddhist monks who deceived the people and deceived His Majesty’s sanity, how could the Zhao and Song armies have been allowed to march straight in to destroy our country, Li Tang? That treasure must be waiting for us at the bottom of the Purple Mountain... Immortal Master
There’s no miscalculation!”
~~~~~~
An Daoquan was very happy. Since then, he has forced himself to sing dozens of An family's ancestral soup songs. These damn guys haven't come to ask him anything for several days... Could it be that they really found some treasure? Bullshit, right? Chai
Can there be gold in Hu Ding Shen Soup?
There were seven or eight prisoners in the dungeon. An Daoquan was originally the most closely guarded one. He was locked in a cell deep in the dungeon and had not seen the light of day for more than half a month.
It's good to forget about yourself, you don't have to be beaten, and you don't have to be threatened... But don't you forget to send food? You didn't even send a rotten rice cake, are you going to starve yourself to death?
In a clean and elegant Taoist hall, the immortal Gongsun Sheng was meditating with a whisk in his hand...
Looking through the screen door, the cigarette smoke was curling up mysteriously... The two newly recruited Taoist boys stood quietly outside the Taoist hall, holding brocade boxes and jade bowls, waiting for instructions. Their eyes were full of admiration and admiration as they looked at the blurry figure in the room.
Awe!
And An Daoquan, who was so hungry that he suddenly opened his eyes, was surprised to see a few pieces of gravel suddenly falling from the roof of his dungeon... Then a black head poked in and winked at An Daoquan.
whispered something...
An Daoquan quietly looked outside in chains, but there was no one there... Then he asked warily: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Mingyue, who crawled along the secret passage to rescue An Daoquan, grinned and said: "Song Wen, Song Langjun! I am his personal guard... Song Langjun came from the north to save you!
An Daoquan almost burst into tears...nnd, it's finally here! Wang Zhiwei, that forgetful egg, what kind of birds are he under? He was brought down inexplicably, and then sold to these mysterious people Guy!
An Daoquan hurriedly crawled over and whispered: "This is a dungeon? How do we escape?"
Mingyue tried hard, but her huge body couldn't squeeze in... "You come closer to me, I will break your shackles, and then pull you up! Let's leave directly along this secret passage... My senior brother is outside on the rockery They're waiting for us down there! It's okay, my senior brother has already made arrangements, we can escape from Jinling City if we go out!"
"Who is our senior brother? After we get out, An Daoquan will definitely give him a big gift and make a fool of himself to repay the kindness of saving his life!"
Mingyue's old face turned red... If you had known that it was my senior brother who had harmed you after you went out, it would have been better if you had not fought against him!
