Hong Zhenji's cook, Yuan Chengfeng's hidden child buried in Hong Zhenji's mansion.
Hong Zhenji wanted to kill him early on, but Xu Zhiqiong used him to deliver false news to Yuan Chengfeng. At first, he was afraid of accidents, so he kept him for the time being.
Now that Yuan Chengfeng was dead, Hong Zhenji was not in a hurry to kill him. He locked him in a dungeon and tortured him day and night, hoping to get more information out of him.
A man like him has been around Hong Zhenji for many years and knows almost nothing about Yuan Chengfeng. He doesn't even know Yuan Chengfeng's true identity. He always thought that Yuan Chengfeng was the recording king Hong Zhenkang.
After Xu Zhiqiong asked, Hong Zhenji took Xu Zhiqiong to the dungeon.
Xu Zhiqiong took a look in the dark and saw that the cook was beaten to a state of disfigurement. He smacked his lips and said, "It's okay to beat him badly. This is suitable."
Hong Zhenji really couldn't think of any use for this man, so he simply handed him over to Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong used the art of disguise to change his appearance, and quietly took the cook out of the dungeon late at night and took him to a private house in the north of the city.
The cook's mouth was sealed by Xu Zhiqiong. After the spell is unlocked, the cook can speak.
He could not recognize Xu Zhiqiong and did not know what this man was going to do, but he knew that his life was in this man's hands.
To transport so much money to the capital smoothly, someone must escort it.
Sounds like a good thing.
After this fight, the commotion became louder, and the housekeeper came out to check.
The cook carefully avoided the night patrol sergeants and arrived at Prince Lu's Mansion.
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his voice and said, "I can't tell you my name. If you say I'm from the north, King Lu will know who I am.
The cook hadn't eaten anything all day, so he devoured the pancakes, drank a pot of water, and then carefully left the house and went to Prince Lu's Mansion.
Fortunately, the cook knew some martial arts, so he started fighting with the guards in front of the door without thinking.
These special professions are mainly guards and bodyguards. If they are lucky, they can be hired by the government as soldiers. Some people are forced to make a living and sacrifice their legal status to work as thugs and assassins. These people call themselves rangers, but because of the
What he does has nothing to do with chivalry or anything like that, so most people call it wandering swordsmanship.
Seeing the scars on the cook's face, the housekeeper thought that Hong Zhenkang didn't recognize him for a moment, so he quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words.
The butler frowned and said, "Just collect money and do the work, don't gossip too much!"
When appointing officials, the Shenji Division does not pay attention to skills and physical fitness, but pays attention to morality first.
Hong Zhenkang was startled, this person was actually Yuan Chengfeng's secret agent in Prince Shu's Mansion.
Under such rules, a group of people were formed who were neither above nor below. This group of people paid money and explained clearly the origin of their cultivation, but for the time being they did not have enough "virtue" to be able to serve in the Shenji Department, so they lived in exile.
In the market, do some special trades.
Yuan Chengfeng left a fortune in Yanzhou, and the location and amount were clearly discovered by Hong Zhenji's spies.
Shuangliu became more and more sophisticated in her Gu skills. Xu Zhiqiong wanted to see her cultivation, but found that she was covered in mist and in disarray.
Along the way, Hong Zhenkang lifted the curtain of the sedan from time to time and ordered the steward: "Tell them not to make any noise, and to stay out of sight. Don't let others know that we are leaving the city."
There are more than eight million in silver alone, and there are also a lot of ordnance in addition. With these eight million in silver, Shenjun can successfully deliver the mission, get the ordnance back together, and recruit a new group of soldiers.
, let’s see if Hong Zhenji dares to be arrogant with me in the future!
Hong Zhenji's spies have received the news and must start this matter as soon as possible.
The housekeeper followed the instructions and went out to hire a guard at dawn.
The guard in front of the door didn't recognize the cook and wouldn't let him in or give him a message.
This means that if private cultivators explain clearly the source of their cultivation and register with the Divine Machinery Department, even if they are not guilty, they may still be able to work in the Divine Machinery Department.
This battle is not small.
Bring your servants with you?
The housekeeper was startled. King Lu didn't usually have the habit of hiring guards.
Xu Zhiqiong pulled up the cook and said, "Brother, you are suffering. I am a friend of King Lu. I risked my life to rescue you because I asked you to send a message to King Lu."
After spending the past few days together, Hong Zhenkang discovered that this housekeeper was no ordinary person and had many connections in the market.
According to the custom of the Shenji Division, those who go astray should state their reasons, and those who accuse themselves will be innocent, while those who are virtuous will be retained.
Hong Zhenkang didn't recognize either north or south, but the cook mentioned the property, and Hong Zhenkang was very interested in it.
You tell King Lu that King Shu Hong Zhenji is eyeing Yanzhou and will take action in the next two days, and ask him to quickly send Yanzhou’s property elsewhere."
The cook rolled his eyes and whispered: "Since the hero has given the order, this news must be delivered, but I don't know what Yanzhou's property is. The matter has no beginning and no end, and there is no evidence. I'm afraid King Lu won't believe it.
I."
He seemed to be a little obsessed with the number of one hundred people. A wandering swordsman named Wang Junwu had an eighth-level cultivation of the Mohist family and had a relatively straightforward temperament. He also said to the housekeeper: "Bringing so many laymen there, how can we have such a good reputation?"
What’s the use?”
The housekeeper did not dare to delay and brought the cook to Hong Zhenkang. Hong Zhenkang yawned and stared at the cook for a long time without saying a word.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I don't know what kind of hero you are. I am just a servant in Prince Lu's palace. I will do whatever Prince Lu asks me to do. I will do whatever you ask me to say. You
Spare my miserable life, I beg you to spare my miserable life."
Qiancheng Kingdom strictly prohibits private practice. Can Shenlin City still hire practitioners?
A seventh-grade sword is five taels a day, which is the going rate.
Fortunately, this girl has a kind heart, so as long as she doesn't go astray, it's okay to let her practice voodoo.
The butler frowned and said: "This is the palace, not a knife market. How much does it cost to go here? How can I lose your money? Just work hard."
Hong Zhenkang secretly wondered: Who is the friend from the north? From Tunu?
As he said, if he talks about Yanzhou's property without any evidence, King Lu will definitely not believe him.
The cook was startled and asked cautiously: "May I ask the good man his name?"
Hong Zhenkang thought for a long time and looked at the housekeeper.
Another wandering swordsman, named Hualing Zhengze, claimed to have a seventh-level cultivation of killing. He smiled and said: "Since we are talking about collecting money, a seventh-level knife costs five taels a day. Could you please give me today's wages first?"
Already?"
"Brother Xu, did he eat the pancake?"
Hong Zhenkang was still not satisfied: "I asked you to hire a hundred people, why did you only hire so few?"
When asked about the matter, the cook told the steward that the matter was of great importance and he must tell the prince personally.
The matter of putting morality first is even more complicated. Last year, the market price was around 3,000 taels. This year, the market was expected to rise, but unfortunately Shenji Division was wiped out by Xu Zhiqiong.
Not long after he left, Shi Shuangliu quietly entered the house.
Hiring a traveling knife is called buying a knife. To buy a knife, you must have a corresponding method.
Xu Zhiqiong wanted Shi Shuangliu and Han Chen to practice Yin and Yang skills, but Shi Shuangliu was obsessed with Gu magic, and Han Chen had no choice but to do it.
However, Prince Lu's temperament has indeed changed a lot these days. The housekeeper is a smart man, so he naturally dared not say more than he should have asked: "Your Majesty, how many people do you want to hire?"
Hong Zhenkang originally wanted to set off overnight, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt it was inappropriate.
He took the letter and read it carefully, feeling very happy.
This was the prince's secret plan. The housekeeper met him and quickly brought him into the house.
The wandering swordsmen didn't ask any more questions. When all the young and strong servants were gathered, Hong Zhenkang sat in a sedan and led everyone on the journey.
While he was talking, the cook's stomach rumbled with hunger.
The cook took the letter, nodded and said, "Since you have the proof, leave this matter to me."
Although he had regained his status as King Lu, he didn't know Yuan Chengfeng's former subordinates. He couldn't even name the butler, let alone the cook.
But they always need some people who can do serious things, so they regularly recruit practitioners from the public.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Eat it in front of me."
The fall of Gu Yuan's evil star and the collapse of Gu Sect are typical manifestations of the loss of order in cultivation.
"I am going to Yanzhou. You go hire some guards."
After the cook wiped the blood off his face, the housekeeper stared at him for a moment and finally recognized him.
…
Although this man has no cultivation base, he can act as a trap for Yuan Chengfeng, so he is certainly not a fool.
The cook knew the rules of the palace, and looking at his rags, no matter what he said, these guards would not let him in.
The housekeeper looked confused: "Sir, there are only a few people in the knife market. I have hired everyone I can."
Yanzhou is not far from Shenlin City, but it is still more than three hundred miles away.
Hong Zhenkang looked at them one by one and ordered the housekeeper: "Call all the young and old at home and gather a hundred people together to set off together."
None of these rubbish are of any use. If we encounter bandits, they can't even protect my life, let alone my money.
Hong Zhenkang frowned and said: "Of course, if you want to be a serious guard, you'd better have some cultivation!"
The housekeeper smacked his lips and said, "On the sword market, there are not many guards with good skills, and their grades are not too high. The price is not cheap either."
He doesn't know the cook.
When asked about the reason, the cook recounted what happened.
According to the market price, you have to pay almost 500 taels to the Shenji driver to make things clear. At this price, more than 95% of Qiancheng people cannot afford it.
"Don't worry about money, just hire the best guards!"
Looking for someone from the royal brother?
But how to explain to the emperor the origin of this money?
Moreover, once the emperor's brother knew about it, all the eight million silver would become the emperor's brother's.
Xu Zhiqiong took out a piece of pancake from his arms and handed it to the cook and said: "Brother, eat the pancake and go to the prince's palace quickly and tell the prince that the news is too tight and I can't show up. This matter is urgent and there must be no delay."
"A hundred or so people."
But explaining the reasons clearly is a very complicated matter.
The butler asked again: "Should we hire serious guards, or should we just make a show of ourselves?"
Shi Shuangliu smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother, I won't be able to say a word that I shouldn't say."
Yes! This type of cultivator is called You Dao, and the existence of You Dao happens to be related to Shen Ji Si.
The housekeeper deliberately revealed the money matter. He knew that the palace was tight on money these past two days.
The housekeeper is a man who knows how to buy knives. It took him half a day to hire more than 30 swordsmen.
Xu Zhiqiong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the cook: "This is a letter sent by King Shu's spy from Yanzhou. He has found out the location of the prince's property. Let me intercept this letter."
Okay, you send the letter and King Lu will know after he reads it."
The housekeeper didn't know what to say, so he could only pass on the words.
Youdaogong Yinde whispered: "If he wants to avoid people's eyes and ears, he has to dress up as common people and disperse out of the city. He has to ride in a sedan chair and has so many people. How can he avoid people's eyes and ears? I heard that King Lu is very thoughtful.
, Even if you have no plans, how can you act like a fool?"
Wang Junwu lowered his head and said: "We are told to just collect money and do things, and not to gossip. We will do whatever he orders."
Ling Zhengze shook his head and said: "I haven't received the key money yet. I don't know what kind of work I am going to do when I go out of the city."
