[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

After Li Shishi rose to fame, he became popular all the way, overwhelming the original Sun Sansi, Xu Poxi and others, and almost became recognized as the head of the four famous prostitutes in the capital.

The scholar Jingtao has heard of Bai Mudan's beauty for a long time, and his interest is getting stronger and stronger. He hopes to see her beauty.Unfortunately, the Xiaotianshui Lane where Li Shishi is located is under the jurisdiction of Fengfenglou.Although the princes and ministers came here, there is no harm, but the six and a half people in the hall have to mutter to themselves.

Therefore, he glued on his beard, painted his skin yellow, squeezed out many creases, took a box of gold ingots, a box of pearls, jade and gems, and went to the door to see the oiran.

As a result, he came at an unlucky time. On this day, Li Shishi was entertaining other distinguished guests and could not come out to meet him.This could be either a fact or an excuse.But Wu Jingtao has always had no temper in front of beautiful women. When the other party declined, he nodded and walked away, not feeling offended at all.

It was summer, and it was extremely hot.He had suffered internal injuries before, and it was difficult for him to use his internal strength to resist the heat, so he was sweating profusely, and he kept wiping it with a handkerchief.While wiping his sweat, he moved his fat body and squeezed into the unremarkable carriage.After an order, the wheels of the carriage started to turn, carrying him to the direction of the immovable waterfall.

In fact, he is not easy to tolerate, and the disciples of Fengfenglou may not be willing to fight with him near Li Shishi's Xiangju.He just thinks that being easy can avoid a lot of troubles, and even prevent another hole in his belly.But it's already hot after the disguise, and even hotter after the disguise.He got into the car, quickly tore off the fake beard, wiped his chin with a handkerchief, dried the sweat that rolled down repeatedly, and wiped the yellow paint on his face by the way, very busy.

He was busy, and the carriage moved forward smoothly and swiftly.The horse pulling the cart was very handsome. Knowing that the cart had an extra three hundred catties, it still trotted along the road like a normal horse.Wu Jingtao had just dried the paint when he suddenly felt the car stopped, and the driver's salutation and greetings came from outside, as well as the answers of two acquaintances.

Before the words were finished, the curtain of the car suddenly opened.Deng Cangsheng and Ren Guishen jumped into the carriage one after the other, greeted him, and sat down on the side in a grand manner.

Scholar Jingtao felt slightly dissatisfied, but he refused to say more. He stuffed the sweat-soaked handkerchief into his cuff, and said slowly: "It's really hot today, and the cicadas are screaming listlessly."

Deng Cangsheng had no intention of discussing the weather with him, and as soon as his butt touched the seat, he said angrily: "Tell me, why is Su Mengzhen not dead yet? Everyone expects him to die, but he just doesn't die."

Ren Guishen didn't speak, as if giving up an honor.Wu Jingtao sighed, and replied weakly: "The tuberculosis ghost may have a long life. Maybe you and I are dead, but he is still alive."

Before Deng and Ren got into the car, they specially instructed the driver to drive the car to a secluded place and not to go to the sub-rudder and the main rudder where there are many people.So, after the car drove again, it didn't go to the immovable waterfall, but to a remote alley nearby, where it stopped beside a famous century-old banyan tree.

At this time, Wu Jingtao pulled out another handkerchief from the other cuff, but instead of wiping sweat, he held it in his hand and formed it into a white ball.He said lightly, "What do you two want me for?"

Seeing that he was so happy, Deng Cangsheng stopped playing around and said in a deep voice, "Brother Wu, you rarely leave the main hall. But you must have heard about what happened in the past few months."

Wu Jingtao said, "So what?"

Ren Guishen finally opened his mouth and said, "You watch Miss Lei frown all day long and spend all your time on behalf of the brothers in the hall. Don't you... don't you want to do something for her?"

On that day, Lei Chun offered his proposal to Cai Jing, which was equivalent to handing over a nomination certificate.Since then, Liufentang has joined the Cai Party camp in a half-open and half-covered way.They have put in a lot of effort to help Cai Jing and his allies and cronies, such as transporting the money, food and grass robbed from the people at the frontier for the crime of killing Tong Guan, and escorting the treasures that Cai Jing donated to Lin Lingsu, the "Shen Xiao Daoist". Strange treasure; protect the Huashi Gang from the south of the Yangtze River to pay tribute to the capital.

All such hard work, tiring work, or work that has been infamous for thousands of years, were entrusted to them by the Cai party.

That's okay, because if you want to benefit, you have to let others know that they are useful.However, the Gold Wind and Rain Building interfered with it many times, robbing the transport bodyguard team of Liufentang, and either snatched or destroyed the goods, so out of ten times, at least three or four times the delivery failed to reach its destination.

On the surface, Cai Jing spoke softly and comforted him, but in reality he was rather annoyed. He always sent people to the Fudong Waterfall to spread the word.Afterwards, Liufenbantang specially set up a trap, using imperial city guards and Ouchi guards to pretend to be members of the hall, and escorted a trip to the inner treasury, deliberately selling a loophole to attract Fengyulou to snatch it, intending to set off a scandal in the upper heavens. The huge disturbance caused the emperor to decree to destroy the opponent.

But it's strange, but this time, Fengyulou didn't move, as if he hadn't heard of it, and let the escort team swagger past.The guards ran around for a whole day under the scorching sun. Although they didn't dare to complain about the grand master, they talked a lot and labeled Liu Fen Ban Tang as "incompetent".

The fake dart team is safe and sound, but something happened to the real dart team.Liufenbantang colluded with Shandong's "Dakou sharp gun Sun family", and sent a batch of suspicious weapons to the capital. They were looted, and after inspection, they all sank to the bottom of the lake.The two pieces of bad news came one after another, causing Lei Chundai to frown slightly, staring blankly at the orchids in front of the window, without saying a word.

In front of Liufenbantang's subordinates, she is still confident in her weakness, strong in her gracefulness, as if she will never be knocked down by wind and rain.When she returned to the Treading Snow Plum Pavilion, her worries and sorrows were faintly exuded like the fragrance of white plums in the snow.Scholar Jingtao saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he was not someone who could make up his mind, so he had to wait for her order quietly.

During the same period of time, Jinfengxiyulou does not need to be loyal to anyone, and has no worries about the future. It lives ten times more happily than Liufen halftang, which makes people jealous and expects them to have bad luck day and night.Deng Cangsheng and Ren Guishen originally held hatred in their hearts, but now their hatred is compounded with jealousy, and their hearts are burning with anger.The two discussed for several days, and came up with a plan that seemed to be very good. They wanted to make a contribution, so they came to the scholar Jingtao who was out, and told him first.

This clever trick has a long history and has been used by countless people, with countless changes, but when it comes to the bottom line, it is nothing more than the four words "planting and framing".

The two also knew very well that the emperor liked to go out of the palace to hunt for beauty. Even during the Shangyuan Festival, he would leave the concubines in the harem and meet women outside the palace in the city.With Cai Jing's support, it is easy to know Yu Jia's course of action outside the palace.In the Wind and Rain Building, many people were full of enthusiasm and hated the faint emperor and treacherous ministers, thinking that if Zhao Ji didn't know how to be an emperor, he should be replaced by someone else.If the opportunity came, they would not be afraid to assassinate Zhao Ji and vent their anger.

When the two premises are added together, there is room for utilization.Cai Jing can release false news that Shengjia will appear in a certain place on a certain day in a certain month to attract similar people to assassinate.After they go there, they will find that the person sitting in the car is not Zhao Ji, but the minister of the court who is guarded by masters.

In this way, there are witnesses, physical evidence, and the head of the murderer. When he came to the imperial court the next day to report, the emperor must be furious and order to send troops to exterminate these "thieves".The royal purpose is up, and Cai Jing is operating secretly to fuel the flames. Are you afraid that the army will not level Tianquan Mountain?Although Su Mengzhen holds the gold medal for avoiding death, she cannot be exempted from the serious crime of seeking to usurp the throne.Even if he is more talented than Zhang Liang, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Deng Cangsheng said that this strategy will inevitably offend the nobles of the court.However, they regard the old man in black as a confidant, and they are extremely afraid of uncontrolled top masters appearing in the rivers and lakes. Small offenses are nothing.Ren Guishen said that if this plan is successful, Jinfengxiaoyulou will collapse overnight like the Tianlang Club and Quanquan Gang in the past, so that Liufenbantang will no longer have any rivals.

Wu Jingtao listened to a few words, hummed, showing great impatience, but he never interrupted their words.After he finished listening, he pressed the veil on his head again, shook his fat twice, and said slowly: "This is very good, the two talents are really extraordinary, at least I, Wu, can't think of such an idea. But Both of you still haven't answered my question."

The so-called question, of course, refers to "what do you want me to do".

Feeling uneasy, Deng Cangsheng replied calmly: "Brother Wu is deeply trusted by Miss Lei, and he is her confidant. Can you tell us for us? Whether the plan is feasible or not depends on her word."

Di Feijing and Lei Chun sometimes disagree.The former insists on keeping a low profile, keeping a low profile, and does not want to get involved in the struggle between the Cai party and the righteous way of the world; the latter insists on doing one thing and doing two things endlessly, and since he has a bad reputation, he should seek interests for Liufentang instead of fighting the right way It is unwise to fight against the enemy first, and then to make the grand master unhappy.

Deng and Ren wanted this achievement, but they were afraid of offending Di Feijing, so they prepared to use Lei Chun's name as a banner to suppress the hall master.

Ren Guishen deliberately mentioned Lei Chun's sad face, just to impress Jingtao scholar emotionally.Sure enough, the Jingtao scholar was slightly moved, and had no intention of chasing away the guests, but patiently listened to every word they had to say.Hope gradually rose in the hearts of the two, but suddenly they heard him sigh, and said vaguely: "Miss Lei didn't ask me to do this, I'm not interested. If you want to talk, you can talk about it yourself."

Deng and Ren looked at each other with disappointment in their eyes.Ren Gui said: "Miss Lei will definitely like what brother Wu said. Our position in her heart is far worse than yours."

Wu Jingtao wiped his sweat, shook his head, and replied: "It's too hot, I don't want to move. Besides, what does the enemy in Liufentang have nothing to do with me? It's not that Miss Lei is in trouble. It's worth taking care of in the capital." There are so many things, do I have to take care of everything?"

Deng Cangsheng smiled wryly: "Okay, Brother Wu refuses, and we can't force it."

He and Ren Guishen have been friends for many years, although they don't have the friendship of life and death together, they know each other quite well.The moment Jingtao Scholar refused, the two made up their minds at the same time - to bypass Di Feijing and go directly to the Grand Master's Mansion to ask Cai Jing.

Anyway, this conversation took place under the big banyan tree with only the sound of cicadas, and Di Fei was shocked that he could not receive any information, nor would he know that they were acting on their own.Wu Jingtao, a fat man, is too hot, lazy, and doesn't like to take matters into his own hands, so let him melt in the carriage.

He got up slowly, wanted to say a few more words on the scene, and then left, but he felt something strange in the soles of his feet, like a tender seedling, breaking through the carriage board and touching the boots on his feet.This touch was extremely gentle, without any murderous intent, it confused their intuition and sensing ability, making no one suspect him.

Deng Cangsheng snorted, and when he lowered his eyes to look at it, he suddenly felt cold.The seedling turned into an extremely sharp black knife light, from bottom to top, it pierced through his feet, pinning him in place.
