Chapter 93: Li's Blacksmith (Part 2)

Late at night, there was no starlight at all. The clouds in the sky were thick and low, as if the highest pavilion in Yingtian Mansion was about to touch the clouds. The dull air pressure made the insects and toads no longer have the spirit of shouting. It was just that when it was so hot that it could not bear it, it made a weak sound. There was a faint sound of thunder rolling in the clouds, and you could vaguely see the bright light flashing in the gaps of the clouds, and a heavy rain was coming.

Li Feng walked quickly in the alley with the group of green forest bandits he recruited. Behind him were twenty heroes who were deeply savaged and robbed and held the essence of open fire. He sent a signal during the day and finally recruited them. The other powerful men didn't know where they were dispersed, and they were probably happy in which corner of Yingtian Mansion at this time.

The wind with a scent of rain blew towards him, and the kitten's nose was itchy, and he sneezed hard, shaking his head bored. He was still holding the huge iron rod in his hand, because the sword that Li Blacksmith promised to make for him would take at least two months to build. This was still the case when he had time and good iron, so when he traveled at night, he could only continue to use this iron rod.

When Li Feng and his friends turned into the alley where Huang Zicheng's family was, Zhang Sanfeng, who was lying there drinking on the eaves twenty feet away, suddenly poked his head out. He sighed silently: "The descendants of the Zhu family are really as tired as Zhu Yuanzhang. They are indeed like Zhu Yuanzhang. They are indeed like a person. In the middle of the night, they sent the royal palace guards out, either traitors or robbers. What else can there be good things?... However, the old Taoist has no time to care about these things. Since he agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang, just prepare well. God, if there is a sword in the world, how long can the old Taoist stop it? The old Taoist is not a god."

With the breeze, Zhang Sanfeng floated out from afar and left Yingtian Mansion. He didn't notice that the kitten with extremely sensitive spiritual sense quickly turned around and glared at his back fiercely. Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng was flying away, the kitten said to Li Feng in a low voice: "Fengzi, that old guy is gone."

Li Feng felt very calm. He took out a black cloth scarf from his arms and covered half of his face tightly. He said softly: "Miaoji, the old monster has left, we are not afraid of anything when we act. Is there anyone in Yingtian Mansion more powerful than the two of us? I don't believe it anymore." Li Feng laughed proudly and wondered a few times, but he was also suspicious in his heart: "What kind of Tao is this old Taoist practicing? Why did he see our actions and have no interest at all? Does his method of affection do not require accumulation of external skills?"

Suddenly, he suddenly realized: "I understand. There are so many young Taoists in Wudang Mountain who help him accumulate external skills, and all of them are counted on him alone. No wonder he is too lazy to do it himself." Li Feng suddenly understood the benefit of a large number of people, that is, the head or the founder, basically no need to come forward to do things, because he will have the merits of his disciples and grandchildren. For example, if a certain knight in Wudang Sect did something good, people would just say: "Look at Zhang Sanfeng, the disciples he taught, tsk, it's really..."

With a slight curl, Li Feng looked at the twenty thieves with excitement behind him wearing strange masks on their faces. A man who was only about five feet short and weighed only eighty pounds cheered in a low voice: "Damn it, this is the first time he has been a robber in his life. This is the first time he has come to the home of such a court official to rob... Boss, this time we may have fun."

Li Feng shouted softly: "Go, don't forget what I said. Who dares to break my plan? I will ask the kitten to take good care of him." The kitten clenched his fists intimidatingly, and immediately made a 'crackling' sound, which was very scary. Li Feng ordered softly: "Kicket, you are waiting outside to let the wind come. If there are any patrol officers and soldiers coming over, don't worry. After about a stick of incense, you go and make a fuss and bring me all the Jinyiwei and so on. Remember, don't let them see your face clearly."

The kitten showed his teeth and smiled honestly: "Don't worry, they can't see my face clearly. Well, I'll just get something to wrap my face."

Li Feng nodded, waved his hand, and twenty green forest heroes floated up at the same time, gently crossed the two-meter-high wall and entered the yard. Li Feng once again reminded the kitten, saying: "Remember, don't provoke those patrol officers and soldiers at the beginning. When about a stick of incense passes, you go outside and have a fierce fight, but don't go too far." Seeing the kitten nodding obediently and starting to tear off his clothes and wrap his face, Li Feng jumped in with confidence.

Twenty big thieves had been divided into four groups and touched the four sides. Their task was to find out the layout of Huang Zicheng's family and Fang Xiaoru's family in the shortest possible time. Li Feng rushed to the back garden and found the iron door connecting the two gardens. He touched the iron door with his hand and found that the door was not locked. He couldn't help but yell twice, and with force both hands, he simply pulled the entire iron door off the wall.

"Well, what do you mean by the 'little butterfly'? It is said that the boudoir of a lady of a family is usually near the back garden? Well, Huang Zicheng has a daughter, and Fang Xiaoru's family is as old as a family, so it is impossible for him to have no young women. This is convenient... As for the 'gold-sharing hand', the vacancies of wealthy families will be hidden in the bedroom of their heads. This is the same as what I know. Well... I just don't know where Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru sleep."

His body was about ten feet high. Li Feng raised his true energy in the air and hanged for three breaths. When he saw that there was only one place in the two dark yards, there was lights. Suddenly, a slight scattered smoke rushed towards the other side. It was a small hall, with two maids yawning at the door, and someone in the room was talking in a low voice. Li Feng's body curled up like a spirit cat, and just hid under the eaves above the heads of the two maids. After a while, he lowered his head gently, poked a hole in the window paper above the window, and looked inside with his eyes squinted.

Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Renshan and three other Confucian scholars dressed in the room, whom Li Feng didn't know, Huang Zicheng was full of anger, grabbed the teacup and knocked on the table hard, and shouted in a low voice: "There is no reason for Eunuch An. It's really no reason to say that the brotherly love is true. It's really no reason to ask the crown prince not to believe us. Xiaoru, what are you talking about?"

Li Feng frowned. It seemed that they had just started discussing matters. It was so late. So what were they doing? But Li Feng immediately woke up: "This group of people probably just came back from the palace. As for Huang Renshan, they suffered a loss during the day. Now they came to ask Huang Zicheng to vent their anger. However, seeing Huang Zicheng and the others were full of anger, they didn't dare to speak."

Fang Xiaoru touched some beard on his chin, frowned and took a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed: "This is something unexpected. Although Eunuch An had always looked down on us officials in the court, he was now a member of us. But now, why did he suddenly look at those vassal kings?"

A Confucian scholar in his fifties chuckled: "Eunuch An, is just a eunuch, why both of you have to worry about this? Brother Xiaoru made a harsh argument with the sages of the monarch and his subjects today, which was very satisfying. The so-called heaven, earth, king and his subordinates, the way of the monarch and his subjects is above the relationship between flesh and blood. Isn't it ridiculous to use flesh and blood to persuade the crown prince with flesh and blood? The so-called king and ministers must die, even if it is uncle and brother, the righteousness of the monarch and ministers cannot be violated."

Another Confucian scholar shook his head and said, "No? The monarch and ministers are righteous, and the affairs of the country are so important. How can we use the righteousness of our flesh and blood? Eunuch An is also so old that he is confused. I think the crown prince is also a wise king and will not listen to Eunuch An's words randomly. The country is the most important thing."

The last old scholar smiled gracefully, wiped his long white beard, and sighed softly: "Today, I saw the words of the crown prince to Eunuch An, which is a good thing. In any case, this vassal must be cut, and the three princes of the King of Yan must not be allowed. The crown prince is very clear in his heart, so we don't need to worry about the ministers."

Huang Zicheng shook his head repeatedly: "You don't know that the emperor's grandson is gentle and his ears are a little weak. Eunuch An has been taking care of him for more than ten years, and this relationship is not light. I am afraid that the emperor's grandson will be soft-hearted for a while, so he let go of the three princes of Yan, and I'm afraid things will be troublesome in the future... I have received a secret report that the subordinates of the Yan Prince's Mansion are proactively purchasing military horses in Shaanxi. You think that although the cavalry of the Yan Prince's Mansion was defeated for a while on the grassland, the loss of less than 20,000 horses was less than 20,000. Now that I have heard the secret report, the Yan Prince's Mansion has purchased more than 20,000 war horses, and more than a dozen horse farms in the northwest are still transporting a large number of war horses to Shaanxi. What do you think is this?"

After the silence of the room, Fang Xiaoru sneered for a long time: "Old Eunuch An is in charge of the Jinyiwei. He doesn't even explain it clearly to the crown prince?"

The Confucian scholar who spoke first said: "This is the problem. Eunuch An has the Jinyiwei in his hand, so that's it..."

The whole room was silent, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru's face were also a little ugly. They knew in their hearts that they would definitely compete for power and profit with the old eunuch An in the future, but the Jinyiwei was in hand, what could they do?

Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Looking at the old eunuch, he doesn't take us seriously today when he looks arrogant in front of the crown prince today. In the future, if he is favored by the crown prince again, we may not have room for activity. The power of the court must be in his hands."

Li Feng was furious when he heard this: "You are a group of corrupt scholars who always speak of the way of saints and teach the world all the time. It turns out that behind you is provoking others to kill uncles and brothers, and brothers are rebellious. The saints and saints you always speak of are also fighting for power and profit and pursuing wealth. Damn, what is the difference between you and me? You want power, I am also pursuing fame, you want wealth, I also like gold, silver and jewelry. What is the difference between you and me?... But I came from a market and had a low status, and you have only a good face, just a bright family background."

For a moment, Li Feng completely saw through the virtues of these so-called great scholars and almost vomited thick phlegm from the small hole.

Huang Renshan interrupted with a smile on his face at this moment: "Father, uncles, Renshan has something to say." Seeing Fang Xiaoru and others put their attention on themselves, Huang Renshan said with a smile: "My nephew doesn't like studying, so he works in the Ministry of Justice, which is also an activity that serves the court. My nephew has become a master, but he is a famous figure in the world. His junior brother is Qiu Hanshan, a great swordsman who is so powerful that the world is Qiu Hanshan."

After licking his lips, Huang Renshan continued: "Uncle Qiu is the 'Baidi Sect' that is powerful in the south of the world. Recently, he was framed by corrupt officials. Their Baidi Sect had a full captive document on their backs, which made it very embarrassing. It happened that Uncle Qiu thought of my master's way and came to the capital to think of a solution. My nephew had already agreed to help them clear their crimes. The White Emperor Sect master is full of disciples, and he is powerful in Sichuan and has the title of Nan Batian... Their eldest son, Mr. Bai and Miss Bai Lingxin, have arrived in the capital, and there are more than a hundred masters accompanying him, just like..."

Huang Zicheng's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of Fang Xiaoru's mouth, but none of them spoke. Only the oldest Confucian scholar understood, and he spoke, "They happen to be the opponents of the Jinyiwei, aren't they?"

Huang Renshan nodded repeatedly: "That's true, the power of the Baidi Sect is fine, and their allies are the most powerful martial arts gang in the southwest. As long as we have friendship with them, it is appropriate to deal with Eunuch An's Jinyiwei? We can also temporarily put an official sign for them. Hehe, people in the martial arts world, seeking wealth and reputation are just the world. Especially when my nephew sees that Mr. Bai, his heart is higher than the sky. As long as he tells him, there is no reason to fail."

The Confucian scholars in the room were speechless. They were children of aristocratic families who were Zhong Ming and Ding Shi. I had heard about the activities in the world, but when I thought of really meeting such a person, I suddenly became nervous again. It was as if a famous professor was looking for a brothel girl. I was eager to take off my clothes quickly, but I was afraid that the people in the world would know it. Therefore, the heart fire was hung in the air that was half above and not below, which was very uncomfortable. After a long time, Fang Xiaoru whispered "Ah".

Huang Renshan suddenly became excited. He stood up and introduced with great enthusiasm: "Uncle Fang, if he put aside the background of the Baidi Sect, they would be the identity of a noble family in Sichuan. Baidi Sect has been in sect for more than 200 years. The family has a great family and is said to be outside Chengdu Prefecture, and it is a huge land, and it is their property. In Sichuan, their Baidi Sect is also well-known. Among their relatives, there are many scholars." Huang Renshan took off his courage and boasted wildly. In the end, Fang Xiaoru and the others believed that Baidi Sect was simply a family of books and a crowned aristocratic family who was a family of etiquette.

Huang Zicheng nodded slightly: "If this is the case, their status is OK. It is not outrageous for us to recommend them to have a fame and fortune." He made a decision.

Huang Renshan laughed and whispered: "Especially the wonderful thing is that Master Qiu Hanshan came forward this time to ask our Ministry of Justice to find a way for them. The child thanked him for his appreciation and taught him a set of profound internal skills. The child handled a case last month, and there was a piece of iron in the seized stolen goods. He was planning to create a sword for Uncle Master and repay him as a favor... Our Huang family members cannot ask for the benefits of others for nothing, right? It is the child's duty to help them clear the crimes they have caused for no reason."

Huang Zicheng nodded and smiled, applauding: "This is done well. They are framed. If you help them clear their crimes, you should not receive any reward. Therefore, using a sword to repay favors is exactly what a gentleman calls. The so-called gentleman does not receive any reward without merit. This is the truth."

Huang Renshan smiled treacherously: "The child knew an excellent blacksmith. The 'breaking jade knife' on the child's waist was built by him before. The blacksmith and the child were also very friendly. But this time, the Yan Prince's Mansion..."

Fang Xiaoru frowned and asked with a gloomy face: "Nether Yan Mansion, what's wrong with the Prince Yan Mansion?"

Huang Renshan said nonsense: "The prince of the Yan Palace, for some reason, wanted to find someone to build a treasure sword, but he actually found the Li Blacksmith. Who knew that Li Blacksmith accidentally killed the piece of 'Hanzhen Iron', so the people of the Yan Palace refused to forgive him and asked Li Blacksmith to pay the money. After hearing the news, the child hurriedly took people to investigate the news. Who knew that the guards of the Yan Palace were so vicious that they beat the child's subordinates seriously injured, and then shouted that they wanted to bring Li Blacksmith back to Yanjing to build weapons. He said that he could not afford to accompany him, so he replaced it with his life."

Huang Zicheng was excited. He stood up suddenly and smiled and said, "Wonderful, look, the people from the Yan Prince's Mansion hit the knife. Hehe, those vassal kings have done too much to bully men and women. Now they have arrived in Yingtian Mansion, and they have the same temper. Wouldn't they be seeking death by themselves?"

Fang Xiaoru was also very excited: "Okay, I will use this reason tomorrow to go to the emperor and grandson to sue them... Hehe, the love between flesh and blood is only between brothers. The wolf in the Yan Palace is wild, and the emperor and grandson will naturally understand that it would be a waste of effort to tell them about brotherhood."
