Liu Ziguang and others swaggered out of the county government office and walked on the streets of the county. Wanping County is not called Wanping, but Gongbei City. As the southern gateway to the capital, the city has only two east and west gates, both with urns and urns.
In the city tower, in addition to the county government office, there is also a battalion of green soldiers responsible for guarding the city. Outside the city is the famous Fengtai Camp, where tens of thousands of Eight Banners athletes are stationed here to protect the south gate of Beijing.
Fengtai Camp is a huge walled city with deep ditches and high fortifications, watchtowers and poles, deer and firewood pits, and horse pits. Groups of patrolling cavalry roared past the camp. Flags were fluttering inside the camp, and people shouted.
The horses neighed, and I could hear the soldiers training.
Liu Ziguang took a look at it and praised: "What a great formation, comparable to the Tianmen Formation." The Tianmen Formation that Liu Ziguang mentioned was the Liao Kingdom's formation in the storytelling piece "The Generals of the Yang Family" where Mu Guiying defeated the Tianmen Formation.
, although the heroes of the Tiandihui have not read books, they have heard a lot of storytelling. After hearing the chief rudder's praise, they all nodded in agreement: "Fengtai camp is indeed fortified and impregnable, but with the leadership of the chief rudder,
, we will definitely be able to break the formation." Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "We don't need to worry about breaking the formation. We just need to find out the situation of the people, horses and food in this camp. This matter will be left to the brothers who are good at disguise.
Bar."
Returning to Tiedanzhuang, Liu Ziguang further assigned tasks. One group was responsible for investigating the Fengtai Camp, and the other group went to neighboring counties to eradicate the hardcore traitors. This was also a killing of chickens in waiting, putting some pressure on Xie Baoqing. Of course, Han officials who could win over would still win over.
Then Liu Ziguang led a group of two heroes into the capital, preparing to make a big fuss.
It was already getting late today, and it was probably time to close the city gate when we arrived at the south gate of the capital, so Liu Ziguang stayed at Tiedanzhuang for the time being tonight. Dai Zhongying had some upper rooms packed up for Liu Ziguang and others to live in, and also
I asked my daughter to bring some pots of flowers and put them in the chief helmsman's bedroom.
"The acting owner is so elegant. I didn't realize that people who practice martial arts also like to play with flowers and plants." Liu Ziguang said casually.
"Master Miao Zan, my subordinates bought this epiphyllum purely for profit. You don't know that epiphyllum is very popular in the capital recently. Yesterday it sold for one hundred taels of silver, and today it can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels. This is still the cheapest."
As for the varieties, it is said that epiphyllums placed in the bedroom can absorb the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon, and prolong life. I also have a few pots at home. I want to wait for the price to be higher and sell them. Now that the chief rudder is staying in a humble house, of course he must put the epiphyllums.
Contribute it to the chief helmsman." Dai Zhongying explained.
"Is this thing so magical?" Liu Ziguang touched his chin and looked at several pots of epiphyllum. The branches and leaves were green and lush, and the pots were carved with patterns. Other than that, there was nothing unique about them.
Dai Zhongying winked at his daughter standing aside, and Dai Wenpei showed off his knowledge: "Epiphyllum is also called Wei Tuo flower. Wei Tuo flower is very special. It always chooses to bloom at the moment when the dew first condenses at dawn.
It blooms. It is said that Epiphyllum Epiphyllum has a sad and lingering story with Venerable Wei Tuo under the seat of Buddha, so Epiphyllum Epiphyllum is also called Wei Tuohua. Legend has it that Epiphyllum Epiphyllum is a flower god. She blooms every day and is brilliant all year round. She fell in love with a man.
The young man who weeded for her every day. Later, when the Jade Emperor found out about this, he became furious and wanted to break up the couple. The Jade Emperor demoted the Flower Goddess to a flower that could only bloom for a moment in her life, and would not let her meet her lover again.
She sent the young man to Lingtuo Mountain to become a monk, and gave him the name Wei Tuo, so that he could forget his past life and the Flower God. But the Flower God could not forget the young man. She knew that every year in late spring, Venerable Wei Tuo would go up the mountain to collect spring dew.
I made tea for the Buddha and chose the right time to bloom! I hope to see Venerable Wei Tuo, just once, once is enough! Unfortunately, when spring comes and spring comes, the flowers bloom and fade, Wei Tuo still does not recognize her! As the saying goes, it is short-lived.
Just for Wei Tuo."
Liu Ziguang said in his heart, what are you doing with these useless folk tales? Isn't it just an epiphyllum? I heard that it blooms in the middle of the night, and the petals are fragrant and dazzling, but this thing cannot absorb the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth.
, the effect of prolonging life, I shrugged my shoulders at the moment, noncommittal.
Dai Wenpei added: "The blooming season of Epiphyllum is after Unitary Time in the evening between summer and autumn, and the blooming time is only two hours, which is very short. When the Epiphyllum blooms, the flower tube slowly tilts up, and the purple coat slowly opens, and then
The large, white snow-white flowers composed of more than 20 petals have opened. When they open, the petals and stamens are trembling and beautiful. However, after only 3 to 4 hours, the corolla closes and the flowers quickly wither. This is the right time
When it absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, you can pick the petals at this time and decoct them with rootless water. It can prolong your life. This is something recognized by the masters of several major pharmacies in Beijing. The level of medicinal power varies according to the type of flower.
The more expensive the epiphyllum, the more essence it can absorb. Our Zhuangzi's epiphyllum is only the cheapest. It's not that we can't afford it, but that we can't buy it. I heard that the most expensive varieties are Chang'e Flying to the Moon and Blue Enchantress.
It can be sold for 100,000 taels on the black market in the capital, but it is just priceless and cannot be bought with money."
Liu Ziguang suddenly remembered that he had seen several pots of epiphyllum in Xie Baoqing's study room in Wanping County today. Nan Bucheng and the capital really started to hype epiphyllum, just like people in the 1980s hyped up Clivia, a worthless flower.
The price has become astronomical. I don’t know who started such an immoral thing, but for him, this kind of thing is just a small episode after all. It is also kind of someone to arrange for Zhongying and his daughter to put epiphyllums in his bedroom, and he also
It’s hard to say anything, I can only say thank you politely.
Beijing. In the Cining Palace of the Forbidden City, a pretty girl talked to a naturally beautiful lady whose specific age was unknown: "Grandma, the cause of Fan Jian's death has been found out. It must have been from the south.
It was done by humans. There are obvious traces of gunpowder explosions in the ruins. I can conclude that there must be spies from the South Factory operating in Beijing."
"Su, you have to pay more attention to this matter. Liu Ziguang, the thief, must not be underestimated. If the Ai family guessed correctly, the recent cases near the capital are also inseparable from him. He is seeking revenge on you.
, Huh, he killed my prince and Prince Rui. The Ai family hasn’t settled these two accounts with him yet, but he came to the door first." The noble lady said harshly.
"Grandma, don't worry, Su Ma has sent people to investigate this matter. According to the clues provided by people from Taixue, it is Liu Ziguang himself who pretended to be Mr. Yan Chongmian and made nonsense in Taixue. I have asked a painting master to draw a portrait of Liu Ziguang
The graphics were distributed to the Criminal Department, Jiumen Admiral's Office, Shuntian Mansion and other yamen, and they were asked to tighten their control outside and search for Liu Ziguang and his accomplices. If he dares to enter the capital again, he will never come back."
The Empress Dowager nodded happily, gently caressed the girl's head, lifted her hair hanging on her face, revealing a red scar on her white cheek, "Su Ma, you suffered so much for the Qing Dynasty, and you almost almost
If you die in the Southern Dynasties, if you really have some shortcomings, I will feel very sorry for you, grandma." She said lovingly.
The girl with the scar on her face is Su Moer, the Manchu spy leader who disappeared in the Xuanwu Lake explosion. Su Moer was just her nickname when she was in the Mongolian tribe. Now her official name is Sumalagu, and her identity is Tai
The empress dowager's personal female officer, who also served as a patrol officer in the military aircraft department. She made a mark in Nanming's group and won a battle for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the confrontation between the two countries. Although there were scars on her face, Sumaragu thought that this trip
It's still worth it, because she brought two rare technologies from the Southern Dynasties.
"Grandma, we have mastered the formula of gunpowder, and powerful weapons are under development. And this, our Ministry of Industry has already copied two of them." Aunt Sumara took out two short fire blunderbuss and gave them to the Queen Mother.
Play around.
"This is a sample imitated from the fire gun that Zhang Jun gave me. Although the range and power are not exactly the same as the original, it can already meet the needs. The Ministry of Industry worked overtime to make a hundred of them. I want to give priority to equip them in the palace.
Blue Ling guards." Sumaragu said.
"No, the fire gun must be equipped first with the military aircraft department, then with units such as the Shenji Battalion, Xiaoqi Battalion, and Jianrui Battalion, and finally with the guards in the palace. After all, the Forbidden City is safer. No matter how brave the Southern Barbarians are, they will not dare to do anything good.
You broke in." said the Empress Dowager.
"Grandma Shengming." Aunt Sumala bowed her head respectfully.
"Okay, let's go to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, and give him these two firecrackers by the way. We Manchus are good at martial arts, and he must be very fond of such sharp firearms. It just so happens that he has a few pots of them.
Okay, epiphyllum, Su, don’t you like epiphyllum? The old woman will help you get all the epiphyllums from Qianqing Palace today.” The Queen Mother said, and asked the palace maid to take the box of firecrackers, and take Sumalagu with her.
Drive to Qianqing Palace.
At the same time, outside, at the bean juice stall at the entrance of Zongren Mansion, several big men were sitting on the stools, grinning, drinking the water-like bean juice, eating rubber rings, and looking at the majestic breasts.
"This Beijing snack is really unique. It's just boiling water that's been left out for ten and a half months. It's far worse than our Henan braised noodles." Zhong Shenjiang couldn't stand the taste any more, so he mixed the soy sauce with it.
He put the bowl down and complained.
"You're just not used to it. Let's drink it for two or three years and then wait and see. If I don't let you drink it, you must be anxious." The heroine Dai Wenpei drank bean juice leisurely and explained to everyone the food culture of Beijing and the Forbidden City.
Surrounding geography.
"Tell me, what does it feel like to stand on that tower?" Liu Ziguang, who had already been helped by an expert in the martial arts to disguise himself, suddenly said this while looking at the girl.
