() In the book The Deer and the Cauldron, Xu Tianchuan of Qingmudang of Tiandihui, who was responsible for contacting Wei Xiaobao, was selling plasters under the overpass, and they were selling plasters as "clearing toxins and restoring brightness". How come there is no such plaster today? Could it be that,
Has the conflict between him and the Bai family of Prince Mu's palace already begun?
If this is the case, Xu Tianchuan is seriously injured and will probably not sell plasters back to Tianqiao. Then how can he get in touch with Qingmutang?
Liu Meng had no choice but to go back to the inn. After a day, when he got up early the next morning, he found a sedan chair and went to the overpass. After waiting all morning, he didn't see anyone bending over like a monkey.
The old man appears.
On the third and fourth days, for four consecutive days, Liu Meng wandered near the overpass every day. First, he hoped that Xu Tianchuan would just occasionally have something to do and would continue to come back to sell plasters; second, he hoped that someone else from the Heaven and Earth Society would stay here, and he
Wandering back and forth like this will definitely attract the other person's attention.
But things went against expectations. Until the fifth day, there was still a lot of excitement under the overpass, but no one paid attention to Liu Meng who was strolling around.
He couldn't hold it in any longer. Seeing the time passing by day by day, he guessed that Wei Xiaobao was currently fighting the fake queen mother in the palace. Liu Meng was even more impatient. He went to the doctor randomly for his illness, but he also thought of a solution.
When I was in Yangzhou City in the past, I asked the Honghua Hall of the Tiandihui to help me find the remains of the sect's predecessors. My daily contact was in the teahouse. Liu Meng remembered that the passwords for communication were very familiar. I don't know if the passwords of the Tiandihui are universal or not.
Give it a try.
At the overpass, I found a teahouse with the most traffic, picked a more conspicuous table near the window, paid for the money and made an agreement with Dr. Tea to book it for three days.
Liu Meng specially ordered two covered bowls, filled them with tea, but placed the lids upside down on the tea bowls with chopsticks pressed on them. This strange arrangement was exactly what Wu Dapeng taught the Heaven and Earth Society to jointly request.
In Yangzhou, as soon as I put it out, someone would come up and talk to me after a while, but I wonder if it is the same here in Qingmutang.
After preparing the secret code for communication, Liu Meng sat in the teahouse and listened to storytellers for entertainment while paying attention to the people around him. However, at the end of the day, after drinking enough tea, no one came to chat with him, which made Liu Meng suspicious, thinking that Hong
The Huatang system does not apply in Beijing City.
The next day, after breakfast, Liu Meng wandered over to the teahouse, sat down at the reserved table, ordered a pot of tea, and gave the same secret signal for the meeting, ready to sit and wait.
Time passed very quickly, and it was lunch time in a blink of an eye. There were the most guests in the teahouse, and many tables were full. Only Liu Meng's table was reserved, so there was still room. I listened to something for a while.
In The Legend of Heroes, Liu Meng felt his stomach was empty. He was about to get up and find a restaurant to order two side dishes to drink. Suddenly, it was dark around him and someone said, "Borrow the light!" and sat down at this table.
This table has been reserved by himself, why is there still someone sitting there? Liu Meng frowned and turned around, seeing that this man was in his thirties, with a square face and thick black eyebrows. He looked heroic, like a martial arts practitioner.
people.
The man reached out and picked up the chopsticks on a tea bowl, dipped the tip of the chopsticks into the tea, ordered three points on the table, and said, "Dear guest, is this tea for detoxification?"
Huh? There's something! Liu Meng's heart moved, and he quickly replied: "It's the best tea that can remove toxins and restore eyesight." The man asked again: "What's the name of the tea?" Liu Meng replied: "
This is what people call 'Qu Qing Fu Ming Tea'!"
The man nodded and said in a low voice: "Your distinguished guest, could you please lend me a moment to speak?" When Liu Meng nodded, he immediately stood up, walked out of the teahouse, walked around three times, and arrived at a narrow and quiet alley. He stopped and followed behind.
Liu Meng said: "The earth shakes the high hills, and the streams are beautiful through the ages."
The incision of Tiandihui? It seems that it has finally been connected! Liu Meng was very excited and replied in his voice: "The door faces the sea, and the Sanhe River has flowed for thousands of years."
The man nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Which hall does your Excellency live in by the Red Flower Pavilion?" This was to ask which hall Liu Meng belonged to. The next step was to ask "How many sticks of incense are burned in the hall" and his position.
Liu Meng had read about these things in books, and Wu Dapeng had briefly mentioned them when he was in Yangzhou. Therefore, Liu Meng dealt with them quite well.
"Brother, this is Honghua Hall. Light an incense candle in front of the hall."
If you are a member of the Tiandihui, you should answer the last sentence according to your position: "burn a few sticks of incense in front of the hall." But Liu Meng is not a member of the Tiandihui. He just has an incense relationship with Honghuatang. At most, he is a good friend, so he has to answer "yes"
'Light the incense candle'.
The man heard that Liu Meng was not a brother in the society, so he couldn't help but be more cautious, and asked curiously: "What do you call me?" Liu Meng understood what the other party meant. As an anti-Qing organization, the Tiandihui was in the capital, the center of the Qing Dynasty, so he was afraid of being careless.
He had already been arrested. He immediately said: "Liu Bumeng, who came from Xia Yangzhou, had friendship with Mr. Li Xiang of Honghua Hall and Mr. Wu Dapeng of Guihui. He also helped Mr. Wu from Chenggui. He also learned this set of incisions from Mr. Wu.
of."
Honghua Hall is the fifth highest hall in the Tiandihui. Of course, this person has heard the name of Li Shijin, the incense master. Wu Dapeng, the "Moyun Hand", is quite famous in the southern world. He is the elder of Honghua Hall. This person thought about it.
I remembered it myself. I still felt uneasy, so I asked a few more questions before I put away my doubts.
Liu Meng saw that the other party believed in him, so he said frankly: "I have two good friends, one named Mao Shiba and the other named Wei Xiaobao. They came to Beijing after they separated from Yangzhou. It has been more than half a year now. These two people have been with you for a long time."
They are also very close to each other, so I would like to trouble you to contact your guild. I wonder if there is any news about these two people?"
When the person who came to contact heard that they were looking for Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao, his eyes suddenly shrank, but the expression on his face did not change. It was obvious that he was very good at concealing his intentions. After Ding Ding looked at Liu Meng for a while, he said: "
Brother, I will inquire for you when I get back. If there is any news, I will see you at the same place in the teahouse tomorrow."
After saying this, the man clasped his fists slightly, and without waiting for Liu Meng to express his gratitude, he turned and left at a very fast speed. After exiting the alley, he walked around the crowd a few times and then disappeared.
Wei Xiaobao is now clearly the incense owner of Qingmu Hall, but this person refuses to reveal a single word, and even told himself to wait for news at the teahouse the day after tomorrow. He is really thoughtful, and it is no wonder that Tiandi will be the first to be eliminated by the Manchus.
Jianghu forces are still able to flourish.
After Liu Meng waited for this man to leave, he didn't stay too long. He went out to find a sedan and asked him to take him to Tianshuijing Hutong. He found a famous tavern there and ordered two plates of braised deer tendon.
As an appetizer, I ordered stir-fried edamame and pork liver tips, and ordered a pot of Laobaigan. I poured it slowly and drank by myself until it was getting dark. Then I settled the account and walked slowly back to the inn.
Sitting in the tavern all afternoon was just to guard against being watched. Although I entered Beijing alone and no one knew my identity except Tan Zumen, I was careful not to make a big mistake. The situation in the struggle against the enemy was grim!
