Chapter 644 The Wax Ball of the Female Horse Thief
After the banquet, Sun Yue, Zhang Tieniu, Na Le, and Na Yuan were all drunk. They were carried back to Chaoyunguan by Sun Meijing's retinue. Caijin followed behind and walked slowly admiring the beautiful scenery of Yimeng Mountain. The bandits let him visit the mountains and historic sites without stopping him.
When he was prosperous in his fortune, he climbed to the top of the mountain and leaned on the railing. He saw luxuriant pines and cypresses, lush greenery, strange flowers and exotic grasses all over the mountain, brilliant clouds, and vast mist.
There is an Eighteen Arhat Cave on the mountainside. There are Buddha statues with different expressions carved on the walls around the cave. They may be angry, happy, crazy, sad or crazy. Caijin pointed at an Arhat and said with a smile, "Do you think this Arhat looks like me?"
The two bandits came up and looked around, exclaiming in admiration that the Arhat looked exactly like Caijin.
"That man is the reincarnation of an Arhat. No wonder he dares to come to our house. It turns out that this gangster has arrived home." A bandit was very good at flattering people and even acted as a guide. He even showed Cai Jin the fortifications on the mountainside. However, Cai Jin was not allowed to visit several caves where soldiers were hiding. When Jin went in, he only let Caijin see a few squatting cannons at the entrance of the cave [
Caijin Shang Guangrong shook his folding fan while drinking and singing "Empty City Strategy" and returned to Chaoyun Temple. Since he came to the bandit den, he treated the bandits as normal people and saw that there was no barrier between them when talking and laughing. Caijin believed that Sun Meijing will come back to see him tomorrow. As long as both parties show sincerity and let him visit the thirty-eight foreigners first, as long as the foreigners are still alive, there is a high chance that the peace talks will succeed.
That Caijin wrote a letter to his brother-in-law Huang Guang to help Sun Meijing buy many medicines. The quantities were huge and the prices were high. This ill-gotten gain was earned by himself. Huang Guang carried the sign of the New Armed Forces to purchase in Jinan. If there was a problem with the medicine, he asked Li Hongzhang to solve the problem. The letter and a check for 30,000 silver dollars from the bank were put together and placed generously on the table. He didn't even seal the envelope and went back to the wing to sleep.
Soon Caijin fell asleep and snored. The letter written by Caijin fell into the hands of Sun Meijing's master and was returned to the same place as if no one had touched it.
Chaoyun Temple was immersed in sleep. A ghostly figure jumped into the Taoist temple. The figure climbed along the wall like a gecko and blended into the surrounding environment without being discovered by the bandits on duty.
The man in black walked quickly along the ridge of the roof without making a sound, and went straight to the side room where Caijin stayed. The silver light of the dagger flashed and the door moved. The man in black jumped into the room like a civet cat. Only the door made a "squeak" "A sound that made people think it was the swaying of trees.
"Who is it?" Na Caijin Yilin was still awakened by the feeling that someone entered the room.
The man in black stepped forward and covered Cai Jin's mouth and hissed: "Don't say anything, I am Fei Fox." Fei Lingxue lifted the veil and her eyes emitted a soul-stirring light in the dark room. That pale face was like Like a lonely ghost, the dagger was right next to Caijin's throat, threatening him at close range.
Caijin nodded slightly to show that he understood and would not yell at Fei Lingxue. Lingxue took her hand away from Caijin's mouth and asked Caijin to stand up. She was seen tiptoeing behind the door panel and listening to what was going on outside. There was no bandit Fei standing guard outside. Ling Xue sat calmly on the round-backed chair and whispered hoarsely: "Well, let's meet again. I didn't expect you to be so bold this time and dare to enter the dragon's pond and tiger's den."
Caijin was sitting on the bed in his underwear, feeling so embarrassed. He reached out and touched the end of the bed and found the trousers. He kicked his feet and put on the trousers so that he could feel at ease.
"Feihu, you are still alive. I thought you were dead a long time ago. Why are you looking for me?" How could that wealthy and upright man be intimidated by Fei Lingxue? Unfortunately, the room was too dark and Fei Lingxue couldn't see the expression on his face.
"Why do you think that if you speak so harshly, no one will dare to touch you if you hug Sun Meijing's thigh? I will let you see the King of Hell at any time." Fei Lingxue doesn't look like a infiltrator and is leisurely. Hu Kan's index finger is like pulling a trigger.
Caijin raised his hand and slapped away the finger pointing at his forehead with a somewhat impatient tone: "Feihu, you've gone too far this time, and the government is looking for you. Now your head is worth two thousand silver dollars. I don't think anyone can save you this time."
There are rumors in the world that one of the British people killed by the bandits was shot and killed by Fei Lingxue. She was the bandit leader who bore a blood debt. How many people want to chop off Fei Lingxue's head and go to the government to collect the reward.
Fei Lingxue regretted very much that she shot and killed the British man who pulled the gun when he took the hostage. She was not the one who shot the gun, but several bandits shot together. But the blame was finally put on her head. She was in the limelight. The Sun brothers were highly regarded, but they would be troubled by the poor foreigners who would put pressure on the Qing court. After the Qing court settled its accounts after the fall, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the world, let alone flee to the concession to avoid disaster. If you were to fall into the arms of foreigners, you would be committing suicide and you would be hanged by the British.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. I never use a gun. I kill people with flying knives. It's none of my business that the British guy was shot." Fei Lingxue's eyes were like cat's eyes, flickering in the dark night.
"That's good, Feihu, remember that silence is golden. Don't bring it into the coffin in the future. If you have anything to do, tell me quickly. I'm not a spy. I'm an official. The right way in the world is peace." That Caijin is a man with good eyesight. But I can't see through Fei Lingxue, and I can't guess Fei Lingxue's intentions.
People like Fei Lingxue are two-faced or even polyamorous. They will rely on whichever side is in power, but they have their own selfish motives that can backfire on their master at any time. If the Qing Dynasty loses its power to compete with others, there must be people like Fei Lingxue in the Central Plains.
Fei Lingxue most wanted to see the Sun brothers rebel. She hoped that the Lincheng kidnapping case would become bigger and bigger, the better if it got out of control. However, after being contacted, the Sun brothers refused to raise the flag and set off firecrackers. The bandit armed forces did not have much ideals and were unwilling to mobilize the people to die. Lai was clinging to the calves and refused to leave. She watched the various Qing troops surrounding them, which made her very disappointed. Knowing that this armed force would not become the climate for her to rebel on her own, Lingxue weighed the gains and losses. After weighing the gains and losses, she played Li Guolou again. The card is still to learn Boxing Boxing, and the Changqianshe joins Li Guolou to serve the court. After that, he can still be a local tyrant and endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden and sleep in Zaozhuang. As for the ideal of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty, it can be instilled in the next generation.
Fei Lingxue sighed with a hint of regret: "Sun Meijing, Guo Qicai has trusted me and treated my more than 200 people as their own, but they still kept a hand to prevent my troops from garrisoning the main peak of Baodugu, so I The main peak of Dugu can only look at the ocean and sigh, but I have roughly figured out the defenses in other areas of Yimeng Mountain. As long as Li Guolou enters the mountain, I will act as an internal correspondent and I will atone for my sins and please give him a lot of kind words." [
Fei Lingxue stuffed a wax pill into Caijin's hand and said a few words before disappearing into the vast night with a quick leap.
Caijin turned the wax ball and said to himself: "What should I do? Is it possible to let Fat Niu Xuakuzu stuff this thing in? I'm afraid Fat Niu can't stand the pain, and his face will betray him. He had known he would use this trick." I will take a few bannermen who are good at this group to know if Na Le and Na Yuan have ever been betrayed."
Caijin was afraid that the person who went out to deliver the message would be searched by bandits. How to bring out the enemy's information gave Caijin a headache and stayed up all night.
The rooster began to sing the praises of the morning sun. The Taoist priest chanted sutras and did morning lessons. Sandalwood incense filled the air. Two bodyguards heard the rooster and danced. The Chaoyun Temple was full of life. Caijin opened the door and looked at Zhang Tieniu with a smile. He looked at Zhang Tieniu with a malicious look. Who told Zhang Tieniu to be strong?
After much deliberation, I decided that the fat intestines of a fat cow could be used.
"Yixian County Chronicles" records: In the past, there was a king who plowed the land with a calf, and then the immortal passed away, so it was named Baodu Gu.
Na Caijin climbed the main peak of Baodugu under the leadership of several bandits. He saw that the mountain was so precipitous that it reached the sky and the mountains stood like tall round cups upside down on the peaks. From the neck to the top, the cliffs were like cut rocks.
Cracks criss-cross the ancient cypresses hanging upside down. An artificially opened mountain road winds along the mountain. At every larger corner, there are fortifications made of stones.
In this kind of terrain, there are too many people to take advantage of it. We can only climb up one by one. It is a living target. The main peak of Baodugu has become a military fortress. It can be described as impregnable. When you see this dangerous peak, you feel like you have the power to save the world. Sun Meijing is not afraid of giving.
He saw that the topography of the main peak of Baodugu was the only way to deal with the bandits on the top of the mountain.
Caijin was born with a weak body, but he gritted his teeth and persisted in climbing up the dangerous peak. It was steep and straight. Caijin conquered this dangerous peak. Only the clouds and water were of the same color, and the sun was shining. A Danyang slowly jumped out of the sea of clouds, creating a spectacle.
"What a great place! What a beautiful scenery. It deserves to be the first of the seventy-two peaks in Yimeng. If you can climb it, you are a hero." Caijin put a golden face on his face and looked like he is the only one who respects me. Unfortunately, he can't write poetry and can only look down at the mountains with his hands on his hips.
The green cypresses are as far as the eye can see in the picturesque plains of the south. The money man touches his whiskers and looks towards the entrance of the cave with squinting eyes. There is the cave where foreigners are imprisoned.
The treasure is to count the number of foreigners. The dead people have any value. The mission of the treasure is to rescue the living foreigners. If Sun Meijing has foreigners in his hands, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Shandong, will hide and not report. How can a group of bandits who occupy the mountain as king alarm the court?
Sun Meijing walked out of a hidden cave. The door was covered with green grass and blended in with the surrounding environment. Sun Meijing had a good impression of Caijin, so she agreed to Caijin's request and let Caijin go to the main peak of Baodugu to visit those foreigners.
Showing his kind side, Sun Meijing went to the pavilion, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work climbing up. The scenery here is pretty good."
"Well, it's good to cultivate your character here. Liu Xuande paid three visits to the thatched cottage. General Sun will have the opportunity to rejuvenate the country and secure the country." That Caijin was very good at talking and flattered Sun Meijing as soon as he got there, which made Sun Meijing very useful. The two of them were like
Like friends, they point out the world in the pavilion
There is a piece of farmland to the west. There are four cows, two big and two small, like a family grazing leisurely in the ridge. There is a lot of wood, bricks and stones are piled up in the farmland, and you can see several rows of tile-roofed houses under construction. Two stone blocks.
The granary has been repaired, and Sun Meijing is carrying out construction work on the main peak to prepare for a life in paradise.
The wealth was huge, and I was envious that there was such a paradise in the world. In my heart, I looked down on Sun Meijing, a bandit who occupied the mountain and became the king. He had great ambitions and was trapped to death on the main peak of Baodugu, waiting to die.
Sun Meijing thought he was in an invincible position and sat calmly in the pavilion pointing out the surrounding places of interest.
Thirty-eight foreigners were placed in a cave on the top of the mountain. A trench was dug around the top of the mountain to build a cave in the middle to store the meat stamps. There were also three reservoirs and countless large and small tanks to store rainwater.
There are more than 20 Qing Meat Tickets. These Qing Meat Tickets are like slaves serving the thirty-eight foreigners. There is a clear hierarchy in the Meat Tickets. The foreigners who have become Meat Tickets have no worse living conditions than bandits. They have personal freedom and can go out to bask in the sun within the specified time every day.
Normally, these foreigners go out to bask in the sun at noon. Today, it was a little early, so the money was inspected one by one. The thirty-eight butchers were still alive and kicking, standing outside to bask in the sun. However, most of the foreigners were sick and looked at the court.
The senior members of the faction are not interested in talking about the Dharma like a chicken and a duck, and they use language to communicate.
Several foreigners who could speak Chinese gathered around Na Caijin and expressed their hope to Na Caijin that the Qing government would rescue them from the sea of suffering as soon as possible. Na Caijin gave a satisfactory reply. He visited the thirty-eight foreigners on the main peak of Dugu Mountain to represent the Qing government.
』Condolence to them for adhering to the principle of never abandoning and never giving up, everything will develop for the better. Stay calm and wait for good news.
Cai Jin, the foreigner here, only knew Robinson. Cai Jin couldn't help but greet Robinson. Cai Jin saw that Robinson looked bad. Originally, Robinson had a tall body and looked like a big stupid bear. Now he has a sallow complexion and a clean shaven beard.
I also have a big belly. It looks like I had a serious illness.
After hearing that Robinson was still in good health and eating very little, Caijin was quite worried and said: "General Sun, we can't let him die. He has a grudge against Li Guolou. You always know that."
Well, you can't do things that make your loved ones angry and your enemies happy. Try to think of a way to cure Robinson. What "medicine" is needed? I'll do it for you as soon as possible. If Robinson has three long and two shortcomings, Li Guolou will laugh out loud.
"
Sun Meijing's most hated enemy is Li Guolou, who has become cynical and world-weary when he sees Robinson's sick appearance. Sun Meijing is quite worried that if this continues, Robinson will either die of illness or "commit suicide." This will only harm him and benefit Robinson.
Staying here is a burden. It is better to use the waste and let Robinson come out and sell it to foreigners so that the Western powers can put more pressure on the Qing court.
Sun Meijing pulled the money to a quiet place and whispered: "Why don't you let Robinson return to Jinan to recuperate and let him put pressure on the court on behalf of thirty-seven foreigners? What do you think?" [
Caijin touched his whiskers and frowned, his eyebrows were silent and silent, as if he had encountered a big difficulty, and his heart burst with joy. As soon as he hugged Sun Meijing, he released a foreigner. This was the greatest affirmation of his recruitment work. He pretended to be calm.
Accepting it, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Well, this
It's good. A living Robinson can let Mr. Fu see General Sun's sincerity. As long as General Sun doesn't make excessive demands. He wants territory, guns, and food. I will try my best to persuade Mr. Fu to hand over this to me according to your wishes.
My friend General Sun will not suffer any loss."
"Then it's settled. I'll be happy tomorrow. I'll give out the conditions for our Lincheng garrison. Everyone must treat each other with sincerity." Sun Meijing affectionately hugged Caijin's shoulders. The two of them stood proudly in the wind like brothers.
