Chapter 183 Sword in the Stone(1/2)

It is naturally an extremely depressing thing to be confined on the first day of returning to the capital.

There are still many things that have not been done. How was Xie Junyan's injury? The history draft of Lingzong was lost. Was Li Muge implicated? Even the whereabouts of Chen Wushuang and Chen Wansan have become a puzzle.

I had no choice but to pin my hopes on Chen Qingyang and Xie Wenliang. They were both in Hejian Mansion and didn't know how they were investigating them.

In the next few days, we didn't leave the gate, and we lived within six doors. Lu Zhongyuan was worried about us, and was afraid that we would run around, so he specially sent an official to see us. The official's name was Qian Gan, and Zhang Youqian said that he owed money. This gentleman was in his thirties, loved drinking and gambling.

The three of them had nothing to do in the six doors, so they cooked a fire to the landlord.

With our intentional cooperation, on the first day, Qiankang won more than ten consecutive pieces and earned thousands of taels of silver, and he was so happy that he was happy. You should know that when working in the six doors, a headmaster like Qiankang, a yearly salary, including extra money, only a hundred taels of silver. After we lost so much money to him in one go, we asked if we could go out for a walk.

It is not difficult for us to sneak out of the six doors, but we lack the cover for money and are easily discovered by Lu Zhongyuan. Therefore, if we want to go out, we must bribe the money.

But when Qian Dan heard this, he immediately stopped doing it and said, "How can this work?" The shopkeeper asked me to watch you. What should I do if you leave? Besides, I haven't won enough money for you yet.

I thought to myself that you are punishing you if you want to toast.

I tasted the sweetness the day before, and the next day I came over with confidence and said that I had to win all the money in our hands. This time, not only did I have to play, but also had to play big things.

I said that money is a headmaster, small gambling is good for love, big gambling is harmful to the body, and big gambling is harmful to the relationship. We will be almost ten taels of silver in one hand.

Qian Gan won too easily yesterday, and he was quite confident in his card skills. He said, "Do you dare not do it?"

Zhang Youqian said, are you still afraid of you? Today I will win you all over your wife’s book, milk powder money, and coffin book!

Qian Gan slapped the table and said he had the courage. Today we will play the bloody battle to the end. Whoever says it will end first and who is the grandson!

I thought to myself that I was the descendant of the Saint Sect. If I don’t win over your underwear today, my surname will not be Su!

Two hours later, Qian Gan was wearing only a pair of shorts and was trembling in the room. Grandpa, ancestor, can he stop playing?

I dialed the abacus and said: "Catcher of Money, I've calculated it roughly. Today you lost 13,730 taels in total. We are all colleagues. We wiped off the fractions and rounded them up, a total of 14,000 taels. Let's get the money.

Qian Gan has already lost sight of him. Where can I have money? You two of you have sex together? I have no evidence to say that you are a cheater.

Qiandan was depressed and said I had no money.

Zhang Youqian smiled and said, "You are waiting for this sentence. From today on, when we report our whereabouts to the shopkeeper, you should know what to do, right?" Of course, don't make things difficult for you. Even if we do, we will not leave the capital."

Zhang Youqian picked up the paper and pen, wrote the IOU, and asked the money to sign and seal it. He bribed the money to do it, and as long as Lu Zhongyuan was not here, we could sneak out.

The two were trapped for several days and had already been depressed. Today, as soon as they came out of the cage and returned to nature, they were ready to go to Chongwen Sect and visit Hu Zongxian.

Since the Japanese case, although Hu Zongxian has not been convicted of death, he was granted the title of Prince Shao Guard, which is equivalent to disguised house arrest in the capital.

Generally speaking, the Prince's Young Guardian is an enviable position. Being the Prince's Master will be Mo Gao's honor.

But ironically, although Emperor Ming is now in his forties or fifty years old, he has not yet appointed a crown prince. Then the title of the crown prince Shaobao is a bit intriguing.

Hu Zongxian's mansion is in the northeast corner of Chongwenmen. It is a second-entrance yard. The house is not as good as the Su house I rented before. As the mansion of a second-rank official in the court, the yard seems a bit shabby.

Not to mention the second-rank officials, they are ordinary fourth- and fifth-rank officials in Beijing. Every day, there are traffic in front of the mansion, and there are long queues of people visiting.

There were only a few wild cats in front of the Hu Mansion, only three or two wild cats.

There were no guards in the mansion, only three old servants. I saw a few embroidered spring swords drinking tea on it on the second floor outside the door, and I could see every move in the Hu Mansion courtyard.

Zhang Youqian and I went upstairs and knocked on the door, handed over Mingla, and said: We had some friendship with Lord Hu in Jinling back then. Today we will return to Beijing and visit Lord Hu. Please report to my elder brother.

As he said that, he handed over a letter of profit.

When the concierge heard this, he thought we were from other provinces who came to Beijing to seek favor with the powerful and wealthy people and wanted to seek jobs with Hu Zongxian. This situation is very common in the capital. He asked, "For the sake of red envelopes," he asked, "Others from other places?"

I nodded and count on it.

The concierge waved his hand and said that you might have come to the wrong place. Lord Hu is not Lord Hu of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang back then. If you want to make a living in the capital, you should think about another way.

He deliberately raised his voice very high so that the people upstairs across the street could hear it.

This doorman was also kind-hearted. Now Hu Zongxian was guilty and the Jinyiwei stared at him secretly. Anyone who had contact with him might cause death.

I don’t know what the reason is, but I still insisted that the concierge had no choice but to say, Lord Hu went to the Chongwenmen West Morning Market to buy vegetables today.

What did I say? Buy groceries?

The concierge said, what if it is? There is not even an old man here, so why don’t he go shopping for groceries by himself?

We said goodbye in a row and rushed to the West Morning Market.

As soon as I arrived at the vegetable market, I heard someone beating drums and drums, probably a way to run around the world. There was a stone in the venue with a sword inserted on it, and half of the sword body was inserted into the stone.

A familiar voice shouted: Come and see, King Arthur, the sword in stone! For only ten taels of silver, you may get this sword in stone of the same style as King Arthur.

Zhang Youqian said happily, "I didn't expect that there are more and more scammers these days." I stopped, stood aside, stared at the man, smiling."

Zhang Youqian asked, do you know them?

I nodded and said: My fifth senior brother and the first senior brother.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, but I didn't expect that the two of them would come to the capital and even came here to sell the handheld.

The fifth senior brother beats the gong and says, as long as you draw out the sword, the sword in the stone will belong to you. The person who gets this sword is the chosen son of God!

The first senior brother followed, yes! Not only that, in order to cooperate with this peerless sword, we also gave "Six-step Sword Technique", "Brother Sword Technique", "Godfather Sword Technique" and "Healthy Sword Technique". As long as you learn these four sets of sword techniques, you will be able to travel across the world for twenty years and fight invincible hands. Let you have a sword in your hand and be invincible!

Two people dressed in warriors next to him asked, "Ten taels of silver every time?"

The first senior brother said, "Ten taels of silver are just a deposit. If you can't pull it out, you will get a lot of money back to you. If you pull it out, the ten taels of silver will be considered as our brothers who have asked for a lottery."

The two "people from Jianghu" were moved when they heard this. Anyway, they couldn't get out and didn't want money, so they might as well give it a try. So they paid ten taels of silver and said, I'll give it a try!

One person stepped forward, before coming to the huge rock, he reached out and tried the sword. The sword was stuck in the crack of the rock, so he sank the dantian, held the hilt of the sword with both arms, and let out a loud roar.

Boom!

The long sword was pulled out, and the whole stone was broken into powder. The first senior brother said in surprise, "You are good at kung fu, you are really the chosen son of God!"

The man was extremely surprised at the power of the sword in his hand, but he didn't know that the senior brother had sent an internal force over.

The fifth senior brother quickly handed him a package and said, "This is the supporting four sword scores, what do you call this hero?"

The young man said, "I'm the next name Zhan's name Tianyou. Can this sword really make me invincible to the world?"

Senior Brother Fifth nodded sincerely. As long as you are diligent in practicing these four sword techniques, especially the third one, one day you will find Xiao Hua’s.

The young man left happily and everyone dispersed.

The first senior brother weighed the money in his hand and said, "Let's go, change the sword, and go down the place."

I shouted, First Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother!

Hearing this, the two of them were immediately overjoyed, came up and hugged me, and said loudly, it turned out to be Xiao Susu (here)...

I coughed dryly and said, "Two senior brothers, now I am the headmaster of the Qingyi of the Six Doors. Can you call me my full name? Su You are here."

The first senior brother said, OK, little Susu.

The fifth senior brother said, OK, Xiao Zai is here.

I was speechless, but I couldn't get angry. These two names were the names they called since childhood. Although I was used to it before, they are no longer the same as before.

The feeling was like you had achieved success and a friend who had not seen you for many years suddenly called you Liu Zhuangshi at the banquet.

Zhang Youqian laughed loudly, almost unable to straighten his waist. Xiao Susu, Xiao Zaizai. I said coldly, "Is it funny?" As he said, he overflowed a stream of true energy from his body, as if he could attack at any time."

Zhang Youqian shook his head quickly and ran a few steps, saying, please allow me to laugh a few more times.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I turned around and said to the two, "Why are the first and fifth brothers here?" What about the master? He is also here in the capital?"

The first senior brother said, "This time I and Lao Wu came, I don't know if you have also come to the capital." As for why, he pointed to the vegetable market, and the master asked us to secretly protect the old man Hu Zongxian."

I found it strange. I remember when I first met Hu Zongxian, he said that he had some friendship with my master and tried his best to invite me to join the military. Although I refused, I took special care of me during that period.

This time Hu Zongxian was in trouble, and my master directly sent two senior brothers to protect him secretly, which shows that their friendship was not ordinary.

I asked again, where are the master and the other four senior brothers?

The fifth senior brother said: The eldest senior brother and the second senior brother went to Jiangnan. The master asked them to go to Tongshan Temple, as if they were looking for a relic of ashes.

I asked, Tianjue Relics?

On that day at Tongshan Temple, Master Nianci once talked about the origin of the Tianjue relics. It was originally a treasure of Tongshan Temple. Later, it was stolen by the old man Tianjue's disciple Kumu and founded Dakong Temple. It was stolen not long ago. Tongshan Temple was suspected and even suffered several deaths.

Later, when I went to Haining, I did not continue to pay attention to the whereabouts of Tianjue Relics. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother and the second brother also went to Jiangnan for the sake of Tianjue Relics.

I asked again, where are the master and several other senior brothers?

The first senior brother said that the master took his fourth and sixth junior brothers to the East China Sea, saying that he was going to hunt for treasures.

I wondered, treasure hunt?

The first senior brother said, I can't explain it clearly, it seems that I was looking for something called Soul-gathering Coffin, which sounds quite mysterious.

Before I could think about this, I was interrupted by a quarrel.

Not far away, Hu Zongxian, wearing a linen blue cloth, had gray hair and no longer had the spirit of being in the upper hand for a long time, just like an ordinary old man.

He argued with the meat vendor and said, "You are so unreasonable." I paid a pound of meat, why do you say I didn't pay?"

The vendor looked slutty and said that everyone would come to judge me, Liu San, who is, I, sold meat in this area for more than ten years, and I have never been short of weight and I am not bullied. But you, an old man, don’t buy it if you can’t afford to eat meat.

Such a philistine is used to being arrogant at the morning market entrance. I guess he heard that Hu Zongxian was a foreigner and wanted to cheat him.

Hu Zongxian was a little excited and wanted to catch Liu San. Liu San took the opportunity to pick up the knife and took action.
