Four hundred and eightieth chapters replace forty-five
Wei Xiaobao said: "Not in Yangliu Hutong this time?"
Mr. Qian said: "Yes, when you work in the capital, you have to change your place of residence from time to time."
Wei Xiaobao said: "What do you think he means? Put some damn medicine into the food and drink?"
Li Lishi said: "It stands to reason that Yunnan Prince Mu's Palace has such a big name in the world, and Mu Jiansheng is the young prince, and is an important person on an equal footing with our chief helmsman. We must not allow such low-minded people to do so.
Activities. However, there is no good meeting or a good banquet. Wei Xiangzhu is worried about it, but he must be on guard against it."
Wei Shangbao said: "Shall we go and have this meal? Humph, Xuanwei ham, cross-bridge rice noodles, Yunnan steam pot chicken, that's worthy of a sacrifice."
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
After a while, Guan Anji said: "Everyone wants to ask Lord Wei Xiang to give me some instructions."
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Everyone can always enjoy a good meal and a good drink tonight. If you want to be more relaxed, let me be the host. Let's go to a restaurant and after dinner, we can play Pai Gow and gamble."
You can be a beggar, it’s all brotherhood money. If you want to save me some money, just go and bother the guy named Mu."
These words sounded generous and generous, but in fact they were very cunning. He didn't make up his mind whether to go to the banquet or not.
Guan Anji said: "Master Wei Xiang invites all the brothers to eat, drink and have fun. That would be the happiest thing. But this guy named Mu invites us. If we don't go, we will lose the prestige of the Heaven and Earth Society."
Wei Xiaobao said: "You said we should go?"
His eyes turned to the faces of Li Lishi, Fan Gang, Qi Biaoqing, Xuan Zhen, Feng Jizhong, Qian Laoben, Gao Yanchao and others, and saw that everyone nodded slowly.
Wei Xiaobao said: "Everyone said, let's go and eat his food and drink his food. The soldiers will stop him, the water will cover him with the soil, the tea will bring his hands, and the food will open his mouth. What about the poison? Let's just grunt and swallow it."
In the belly. This is called a hero who is not afraid of death, and who is afraid of death and is not a hero."
Li Lishi said: "Everyone pays attention, and you can always see some clues. We have discussed it, some drink tea, some don't drink, some drink, some don't drink, some don't eat meat, some don't
Eat fish. Even if they poison them, they can't catch them all. But if everyone doesn't eat anything, they'll offend them again."
Everyone made a decision and chatted for a while. When it was time to apply for the license, Wei Xiaobao took off his eunuch clothes and dressed up like a young man. He still sat in the sedan chair and headed to Nan Dou Ya Hutong surrounded by everyone.
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "I am in fear day and night in the palace, afraid that the old woman will come to kill me. How can I have such a free and happy life as the incense master of Qingmu Hall? It's just that Master has ordered me to inquire about information in the palace.
If we come out on our own, I'm afraid that although the incense owner won't be able to do it, we'll have to wait and see whether this little life can be saved or not!"
Nan Dou Ya Hutong is about two miles away. As soon as the sedan stopped, the sound of drums and bamboos was heard. Wei Xiaobao came out of the sedan and heard a suona playing in his ears, and thought to himself: "Want to marry a wife? It's so lively."
"
I saw the door of a large mansion opened, and more than ten people in well-dressed clothes stood outside to greet him.
The first person was a young man in his mid-twenties, tall, thin, and vigorous." He said, "I'm going to use the sound of swords to welcome Master Wei Xiang."
Wei Xiaobao has been making friends with noble officials these days, and he is used to seeing them behave in such a respectful manner.
As the saying goes: "When you live and move, you nourish your body." He was with the emperor every day. Princes, Baylor, ministers, and generals met all the time, and it was not a matter of a while. Therefore, even at a young age, he already had a natural affinity.
Majestic atmosphere.
Although Mu Jiansheng is famous, he is not as famous as Prince Kang, Wu Yingxiong and others. They immediately cupped their hands and said, "Young Master is so polite, I don't dare to act like that."
Wei Xiaobao looked at his appearance and saw that his face was slightly dark, and between his eyebrows, he was vaguely similar to the little princess Mu Jianping.
Mu Jiansheng had known that the leader of Tiandihui, Wei Xiangzhu, was a child, and he heard from Bai Hanfeng that the child had low martial arts skills, a smooth tongue, and was a little rogue.
I expected that he only relied on the support of his master Chen Jinnan to become the master of incense. Seeing him looking calm and nonchalant, I thought to myself: "I'm afraid this kid has some skills." Then he let him in.
The chairs in the hall were covered with woolen cloths and placed with brocade cushions, and everyone was seated separately. "Holy Hand Layman" Su Gang, Bai Hanfeng and more than a dozen people stood behind the sound of Mu Jian with their hands lowered.
Mu Jiansheng asked Li Lishi, Guan Anji and others their names one by one, and said many polite words such as the names they had admired for a long time.caset
Li Lishi and others thought: "This young master of the Mu family has no airs, and his words follow the rules of the world."
The servants brought fragrant tea, and the drummers at the entrance started to play again, which was a grand courtesy to welcome the distinguished guests.
Amidst the sound of drum music, Mu Jian's voice commanded: "Open the banquet!" and led everyone into the inner hall.
The servants closed the hall door. There was an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the hall, covered with embroidered table surrounds, and there were tables on the left and right below. Although the utensils and utensils on the table were not as luxurious as those in Prince Kang's palace, they were still quite exquisite.
Mu Jiansheng bowed slightly and said, "Master Wei Xiang, please take a seat."
Seeing this situation, Wei Xiaobao thought that the chief took the seat by himself and said, "Well, we have no choice but to be rude."
Mu Jiansheng accompanied him at the head of the table. After everyone sat down, Mu Jiansheng said: "Master."
Su Gang and Bai Hanfeng walked into the inner room and accompanied an old man out. Mu Jiansheng stood to greet them and said: "Master, Master Wei Xiang of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui is here today. He has given us enough face."
After saying that, he turned to Wei Xiaobao and said, "Master Wei Xiang, this Master Liu is my mentor."
Wei Xiaobao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have long admired you."
I saw that this old man was tall, with a red face and sparse white beard. He was in his seventies, full of energy, and his eyes were bright.
The old man turned his eyes to Wei Xiaobao and said with a smile: "The Heaven and Earth Society has become very famous recently..."
He spoke very loudly. These few words were spoken casually, but they were like ordinary people shouting at the top of their lungs. He continued: "...it is true that there are many talented people. Wei Xiangzhu, who is so young, is really a rare talent in the martial arts world."
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "He is a young man, which is not bad, but he is neither a genius nor a genius. In fact, he is a fool. That day, Master Bai twisted his hand and couldn't move. He almost couldn't even say "Oh my god"
I screamed. My martial arts skills are really ordinary. Haha, ridiculous! Ridiculous, haha!"
When everyone heard this, they all turned pale with astonishment. Bai Hanfeng's expression was even more strange.
The old man laughed for a while and said: "Wei Xiangzhu has a straightforward temperament, and he is indeed a hero. I admire him very much."
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Three points of admiration is too much. If you don't treat me like a worthless little beggar, a little trick, a little monkey, that's all."
The old man laughed again and said, "Master Wei Xiang is joking."
Xuanzhen Taoist said: "Is the old man the powerful Liu hero in the south, known as the 'Iron-backed Canglong' in the martial arts?"
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, Taoist Master Xuanzhen actually knows my nickname."
Xuanzhen was stunned: "He already knows my name before I know it. The Mu family has taken care of it very carefully this time. "Iron-backed Canglong" Liu Dahong has been famous for a long time, and I heard that Mu Tianbo also respected him very much.
When the Qing army defeated Yunnan, Liu Dahong went out with all his strength to rescue the Mu family's orphan. Mu Jiansheng was his direct disciple and the number one figure in Prince Mu's palace besides Mu Jiansheng."
Xuanzhen bowed and said: "The old hero Liu killed the three tyrants in Nujiang River and killed the Qing soldiers in Tengchong. His reputation as a chivalrous man spread all over the world. When young people in the world talk about the old heroes, they all admire him."
Liu Dahong said: "Hey, that happened many years ago, why do you think he did it?" He looked very fond of it.
Mu Jiansheng said: "Master, please sit with Master Wei Xiang."
Liu Dahong said: "Okay!" and sat down next to Wei Xiaobao.
The table of the Eight Immortals is empty on one side facing out, with Wei Xiaobao and Liu Dahong at the top, Li Lishi and Guan Anji at the left, Mu Jiansheng at the bottom on the right, and the upper seat is vacant.
All the tycoons of the Heaven and Earth Society thought: "What kind of powerful person are you going to invite to Prince Mu's Palace?"
Mu Jian's voice was heard: "Help Master Xu come out and sit down so that everyone can see you and feel at ease."
Su Gang said: "Yes!" He went inside and helped a person out.
When Li Lishi and others saw it, they were all surprised and happy, and they all shouted: "Brother Xu!"
This man was hunched over, and he was none other than the "Eight-Armed Monkey" Xu Tianchuan. His face was sallow, and his injuries had not healed, but his life was obviously fine. All the heroes of the Tiandihui gathered around him and greeted him with great joy.
Mu Jiansheng pointed to the seat above him and said, "Master Xu, please sit here."
Xu Tianchuan took a step forward, bowed to Wei Xiaobao and said, "Hello, Master Wei Xiang."
Wei Xiaobao cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Hello, Third Brother Xu. Isn't the plaster business making a lot of money lately?"
Xu Tianchuan sighed and said: "There is no business at all. My subordinate was kidnapped by Wu Sangui's lackeys and almost died. Fortunately, the young father-in-law of the Mu family and the old hero Liu rescued him."
The heroes of the Tiandihui were all startled. Fan Gang said: "Brother Xu, it turns out that what happened that day was the work of Wu Sangui's group of traitors."
Xu Tianchuan said: "That's right. This group of traitors broke into the Huichun Hall and captured me. That Lu... Lu Yifeng, the thief, scolded me and put a piece of plaster on my mouth, saying that I was hungry. Damn me, this old monkey."
Everyone heard that Lu Yifeng was included, so they were sure that they would not be wrong.
Fan Gang, Xuan Zhen and others all went to Su Gang and Bai Hanfeng said: "There were many offenses that day. All the heroes have a deep sense of loyalty. I, heaven and earth, will be grateful."
Su Gang said: "I don't dare. We are just doing things under the orders of the young master, and we don't dare to take credit."
Bai Hanfeng snorted, obviously rescuing Xu Tianchuan went against his wishes.
Guan Anji said: "After Brother Xu was kidnapped, we searched everywhere and couldn't find any clues. Needless to say, we were anxious. Your house actually rescued Brother Xu, which is very impressive."
Su Gang said: "The Yunnan dog officers under Wu Sangui are all the sworn enemies of the Mu family. Naturally, we have to deal with them very closely. It's not surprising that this dog officer offended Brother Xu and we found out."
