Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 69 Numbness and blood
During this period of time, Lu Heng flattered Gao Dongyuan in all kinds of ways, giving gifts like water, and 2 taels of bank notes, and finally began to have a big harvest.

How could Gao Tongyuan tell Lu Heng about the palace if he hadn't continued to curry favor and cut down his psychological defense?

Without this process, as long as Lu Heng mentioned that the forbidden palace was involved, Gao Tongyuan would definitely be alert.

At that time, stealing chickens will not be able to eat rice, and things will be difficult to do.

Jiu'er and Gong Lan went home one after another.

On Jiu'er's side, he sent red envelopes to the servant and the master at Sifang Garden. He always upholds Lu Heng's generosity of spending money like flowing water, which is regarded as a win.

Gong Lan took a look at the pharmacy, wandered around for a while, and then returned home.

At lunchtime, Lu Heng sent New Year's red envelopes to the maid, the wife, and the grandparents of the family.

No way, who told Lu Heng to be generous.

Even maids and mothers-in-law are given 20 taels of red envelopes.

Jiu'er jokingly said: "Our family spends money like drinking water. I'm afraid no one is more generous than the head of the family."

Gong Lan also said with a smile: "My father gives out red envelopes to the servants every New Year, which is only ten or twenty taels. Their annual salary is not worth twenty taels."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "The Gong family has a big business and many servants. There are only a few people in our family. It's New Year's Eve, so happy. Money doesn't matter."

Bribing Eunuch Zhang and Gao Dongyuan, Lu Heng was willing to spend 2 taels of flowers.Lu Heng didn't like those people at all, they were all so willing.If the people in my family are reluctant to part with dozens of taels of silver, then it is almost meaningless.

Then Lu Heng smiled, stood up and closed the door.

Seriously, "I took Bai Jingqi to see Yuan Gongbao this morning, something happened."

He said: "In Yuan Gongbao's mansion, I met the people of Yihequan."

"I'm still an acquaintance." Lu Heng paused: "Do you remember what I told you about Zhan Wang's mansion last time? I went to the Forbidden Palace to find out that night. King Zhan's Mansion, I met Senior Wang Zhengyi."

"One of them is from the Shenquan Sect, called Song Chizi. They also came to assassinate Cixi. They are all from Yihequan."

"This morning at Yuan Gongbao's mansion, I met Song Chizi. He also broke my roots."

Jiu'er and Gong Lan were both shocked.

Jiu'er couldn't help worrying and said, "Then Yuan Gongbao is a minister of the imperial court, he knows the roots of the family, then"

Gong Lan pondered: "Yihequan's people are in Yuan Gongbao's mansion. Could it be that Yuan Gongbao has other thoughts?"

Lu Heng nodded slightly: "Jiu'er don't have to worry, it's fine for the time being. The presence of Yihe Quan's people in Yuan Gongbao's mansion shows that Yuan Gongbao has a different heart. At least this servant's inner part is not in line with his apparent loyalty to the Qing Dynasty."

Said: "He has just been promoted to governor of Shandong, and is about to take up his post. At this time, he was involved with the people of Yihequan. I was thinking that he planned to cooperate with Yihequan and acted for the old witch, so as to get credit for it. The meaning of raising pirates is self-respect."

"Yihe Quan is getting more and more intense. Especially in Shandong and Beizhili. He goes to Shandong to become an official. If he doesn't take Yihe Quan, he is afraid that he will not be a good official. Yihe Quan makes a lot of trouble today and tomorrow For a little trouble, he doesn't want to take credit, it's a problem if he doesn't deserve it."

Jiu'er then said, "It's really the news that has gathered in the theater these days, many of which are related to Yihequan."

Gong Lan said: "The head of the family seems to be unsightly Shangyi Hequan?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "It's not a matter of being unattractive. Among Yihequan, there are naturally people who are worthy of admiration, have ideas and principles. For example, Senior Wang Zhengyi. But there are also swaying things like Song Chizi and Yan Shuqin. They are a violent campaign launched under unsurvivable, unbearable conditions, and in any case, they cannot be accused of anything wrong with them as a whole."

"Expelling foreigners, burning churches, and resisting foreign aggression are all righteousness. It's just that some of them still have expectations for the Manchu Qing, and I really don't look down on them."

After speaking, he said with a bit of disappointment: "Don't look at the fierceness of Yihe Quan, in fact, their power is too scattered and cannot be united. It is not difficult for the Manchu Qing to deal with them. They are used as spearmen. After repeated failures, signing all kinds of treaties that humiliate the country, and being the grandson of foreigners, the old witch is definitely not happy."

"So use Yihe Quan as a chess piece, use it against foreigners, and let out a sigh of relief."

"Have pity on those brave men. If they annoy the foreigners, the old witch will definitely turn back. When the time comes, they will be attacked from both sides. It's not worth it!"

Jiu'er and Gong Lan didn't have such a vision. They didn't know what to say when they heard it.

Lu Heng took a deep breath and said, "However, there are things in this world, no matter how good or bad the outcome is, someone has to do it. Tan Fusheng draws the sword to make a quick success, and wants to awaken the light in the hearts of the aspirants; Yihe Quan is at a loss. When the foreigners were attacked, the attracted foreigners exploded. When the foreigners exploded, and the giant ships and cannons slaughtered fiercely, only the numb people would feel pain in their skin, and only those who had the world in their hearts would be motivated to seek a path of change.”

Awakening comes step by step.

As the saying goes, the wind starts at the end of Qingping.The development of things always starts from the little things.There's no way that all of a sudden, there will be crimson everywhere!

Pioneers often do not end well, but if there are no pioneers, where will the successors come from?
The outcome of Yihequan is doomed.The more they are in full swing, the closer they are to the forceful invasion of foreigners.However, the foreigners' military invasion will make people feel the pain.

If a person cannot feel pain, he will not seek a cure.

Gradually perish in insensitivity, or be reborn in blood and fire.Lu Heng, as a transmigrator, naturally understood this question.

However, as an individual, Lu Heng has no power to change this era.

He just wanted to kill the old witch.

"Yuan Gongbao knew about my roots, and I gave him a shock. For the time being, we should be at peace with each other. So don't worry too much."

"But advance preparations should be put on the agenda."

Lu Heng said: "Brother Zhu has settled down in the south, and I have made up my mind. After this matter, I will go south with my family."

Zhu Dachui has been going south for four or five months, and he received a letter from him not long ago, saying that he had settled down in Ganxi and set up his family business.Ask Lu Heng when to go.

"I want Gong Lan to go south first."

Lu Heng said: "Bring a batch of belongings, I will send you to Tianjin, take a boat to Songjiang. Then go from Songjiang to Ganxi. It is probably better to go by water than by land."

He added: "Let the stone follow, and recruit a few guards to accompany him."

Gong Lan was hesitant.

She was only fourteen or fifteen years old when she went south to West Gansu, and she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
