It is about two miles from Wuguan Hall to the water source. Although it was easy when I went there, when I came back, two large buckets were filled with mountain spring water. Each weighed about a hundred kilograms. Although these guards had good physical strength,
But after walking for a short while, some people felt exhausted. ▲∴Monk Mingsheng walked at the front, with his arms stretched out and a bucket in one hand. He walked as fast as flying. No matter the ups and downs of the mountain road, the pair of buckets were always balanced, filled with water.
Not a drop of mountain spring water was spilled.
Hu Xiaotian followed closely behind him. He failed to master the balance at the beginning and splashed a few drops of mountain spring water. But soon he mastered the trick. He strode as fast as a meteor, and his steps were as fast as flying. His internal strength was now above that of Mingsheng. This
Although the bucket is heavy, it is not a burden at all to Hu Xiaotian.
Those guards are not capable of this. Not to mention stretching their arms, they are already very tired just from carrying the bucket with both hands. You must know that they have not had a good rest since they left the imperial city last night. This night will not only require
They were on duty and had to make a living by chopping firewood. They struggled all night. Before dawn, Hu Xiaotian forced him to come over and fetch water. He didn’t even have a pole, and the bucket was twice as big as the ordinary one. The guards were secretly worried.
Calling Hu Xiaotian a pervert and a bastard, he doesn't sympathize with their hard work at all.
Zuo Tang accidentally slipped and fell to the ground with the bucket, and the water in the bucket was completely poured out.
Hu Xiaotian stopped and turned around to take a look. When he saw Zuo Tang's embarrassed look, instead of feeling sympathy, he almost laughed out loud. He said to Monk Mingsheng: "Master Mingsheng, how did you handle this situation?
"
Mingsheng said: "Go back and fill the bucket again before picking it back up."
Hu Xiaotian glanced at the guards with a smile and said: "Listen to me, since you come to Tianlong Temple, you must follow the rules of the temple. If anyone pours out the water in the middle, it does not meet the standards.
, go back and start over again. When the standards are met, the task is completed."
When the guards heard what he said, they all wanted to rush up and tear this guy apart. However, due to his official position, no one dared to openly contradict him, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it. Zuo Tang got up from the ground with difficulty, carrying the
The two empty buckets returned to the mountain spring to get water. This trip took a lot of energy.
Hu Xiaotian taught these guards a vivid lesson today. The body is the capital of revolution. Without the body, you can only be bullied. If you only let others do what you do, it is called bullying others. But now Hu Xiaotian is leading by example.
Even though he was dissatisfied with the help of the guards, he had nothing to say.
Mingsheng and Hu Xiaotian were the first to arrive at the reservoir and poured the water in. Seeing that Hu Xiaotian's face was not red or out of breath, they were secretly surprised. No wonder Hu Xiaotian could become the leader of this gang at such a young age. He seemed to be extraordinary.
Zhi Neng, look at the group of guards, the nearest one is half a mile away from the reservoir, and their bodies are already exhausted. After walking a few steps, they poked the two buckets on the ground, because the bottom is sharp, and the arms must still be kept
Strength. Several people had their buckets dumped on the ground because they failed to control their balance. They had to go back to get water.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Mingsheng, how many times do you fetch water every day?"
“Three trips per person!”
Hu Xiaotian picked up the bucket and walked towards the mountain spring again, raising his voice and saying to everyone: "Listen to me, three trips per person!"
When the sky was fully bright, there were still three guards who had not completed the task of fetching water. These three people were covered in mud because of falling down many times. Zuo Tang simply sat down on the road. He panted and said: "I can't carry it.
Even if you kill me, I won’t be able to carry it anymore.”
Hu Xiaotian also has a way to deal with people like Zuo Tang. Aren't you unable to carry him? Then he will punish you by not eating for one day, and you will continue carrying him tomorrow. You will eat when you can complete the task. This is not a dirty trick he came up with, but
This is the rule of Tianlong Temple. When he heard that he was not allowed to eat for a day, Zuo Tang's little universe was really frightened. Without saying a word, he carried two buckets of water to the reservoir.
Seeing the guards on duty last night being so tortured, the other guards who not only had a good sleep but also escaped the hard work were secretly grateful. How could Hu Xiaotian leave them idle and leave four people responsible for cooking?
, the remaining six also went to experience the hard work of carrying water.
When he came to the kitchen, he saw that two royal chefs had prepared breakfast for the emperor. Smelling the tempting fragrance, Hu Xiaotian also felt unbearably hungry. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted the old emperor's breakfast one by one.
The two imperial chefs were stunned and couldn't help but remind him: "Master Hu, this is prepared for the emperor."
"I know!" Hu Xiaotian had already eaten all the steamed buns, then reached out and picked up a bowl of unknown soup, drank it all in three gulps, smashed his mouth and said
: "It tastes good and should not be poisonous."
The two royal chefs were dumbfounded by this guy. If you want to eat it, just say so. They actually suspected that it was poisonous.
Hu Xiaotian reached out to pick up another basket of steamed dumplings. The imperial chef was so frightened that he quickly covered it with his hands: "Master Hu, it won't be enough for you to eat the emperor anymore..."
Hu Xiaotian glared at him fiercely: "How can you say this? His Majesty asked me to be responsible for the safety of his meals. No matter what you make, of course I have to taste it first to see if it is poisonous. I must make sure it is fine before giving it to the emperor. You guys
Do you think I want to eat?" His eyes glanced at the emperor's breakfast. Damn it, there are twenty or thirty kinds of breakfast dishes alone. How can the old emperor eat so much? What a fool, the old thing is here.
We also want to be pampered, saying that eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, no matter how you eat or use it, is worse than the palace? On the contrary, we have to eat bran and swallow vegetables.
Hu Xiaotian pointed at the steamed dumplings protected by the imperial chef and said: "What are you guilty of? I didn't want to taste it at first, but now I suspect there is something wrong with this steamed dumpling. Bring it here and let me try it!"
The two imperial chefs had never dealt with a lazy person like Hu Xiaotian in the past. They were still gloating when they saw Hu Xiaotian tormenting the guards, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye they had started to make things difficult for them.
One of the imperial chefs named Huang Luosheng said: "Master Hu, I'm afraid it would be bad if this matter reaches the emperor's ears, right?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled disapprovingly and said, "You seem to be threatening me?"
"Don't dare!"
Hu Xiaotian sneered and said: "I regard the emperor's safety as more important than my own life. I am full of passion and loyalty. The sun and the moon can teach me. I am not afraid of what others say!" This guy brought another plate of golden pumpkin cakes.
When he got up, two people were already stuffed in while he was talking.
The two imperial chefs were helpless. Seeing that the threat was unsuccessful, Huang Luosheng could only discuss it with him: "Master Hu, I hope you will show mercy today. From now on, we will cook one more serving for Master Hu every day..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not for me, I declare that I am also responsible for the emperor. Only if I eat it and everything is fine, can I dare to give this food to the emperor with confidence. Think about it, if something goes wrong,
Not to mention you, plus me and those brothers, no matter how many heads you have, it won’t be enough.”
The two royal chefs wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and seeing that Hu Xiaotian was finally willing to let go of the remaining breakfast items, they hurriedly put the things away in the food box. Hu Xiaotian held the plate of pumpkin cakes, his mouth was full of oil, and he praised while eating.
: "This fried pumpkin cake is really delicious, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, sweet and delicious."
The two imperial chefs took stock. At this moment, Hu Xiaotian had killed a lot of the twenty-nine baskets of kung fu dim sum. It was too late to make them now. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Just leave it alone, leave this matter to me."
He went out for a walk and came back soon, carrying a basket with several kinds of cereals and steamed buns, which he placed directly in the empty steamer.
Huang Luosheng said in a trembling voice: "Master Hu, don't you try these?"
Hu Xiaotian glared at him and said, "Do you want me to take a bite of the emperor's breakfast first?"
Hu Xiaotian took four guards and carried food boxes to the emperor's residence to deliver him meals and twenty-nine baskets of snacks. If the old emperor ate them all, he would probably die. Hu Xiaotian secretly scolded the old emperor for wasting food and waited until Puxian arrived.
In front of the courtyard door, Qi Danei and a group of guards stopped him. Qi Danei said with a smile on his face: "Master Hu, are you here so early?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Sending food to the emperor, I am worried that he will be hungry."
Qi Danei looked at the food boxes and said, "Leave it to us!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "That can't be done. The emperor's order is for me to supervise the whole process. It's not that I can't trust you, but if something happens in the middle, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly."
Qi Danei chuckled and said, "How come Mr. Hu can't even worry about his own people?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not that I'm suspicious, but that the emperor's affairs are careless." At this time, he saw Yin Zheng and another young eunuch coming out to greet him.
Yin Zheng smiled and said: "Master Hu is here, please leave the things to me. The emperor has said that if Master Hu comes, please invite him in with you."
Hu Xiaotian glanced, and his men handed the food box to Yin Zheng and the others. Hu Xiaotian followed them into the Puxian Courtyard, and found that the courtyard was lush with flowers and trees, with rows of bamboos on both sides. Walking into it was like walking into an elegant garden.
Tianlong Temple also looks at the noodles, and the standards for entertaining the old emperor are indeed different.
Yin Zheng led Hu Xiaotian to the outside of a Zen room and knocked on the door. A middle-aged man opened the door and looked at Hu Xiaotian warily.
Hu Xiaotian only knew that this man was a master sent by the Tianji Bureau. Seeing that he had neither shaved off his hair nor put on monk clothes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The old emperor didn't pay attention to their group of imperial guards.
.
Long Xuanen's old voice came from inside: "Let him come in."
The middle-aged man then gave way to the door, and Hu Xiaotian followed him in. He saw Long Xuanen sitting cross-legged on a futon, with a wooden fish placed in front of him, probably for chanting sutras.
Hu Xiaotian was about to kneel down and worship, but Long Xuanen said: "There is no need to be polite. This is not a palace. In front of the Buddha, there is no distinction between monarch and minister." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and updated novels. quick!
