Chapter 27

Huo Qingtong remembered Yan Zhao once said that he wanted to challenge Wang Weiyang.

Originally, she also thought that Yan Zhao would go to Beijing to challenge Wang Weiyang, and she could also secretly escort the tribute back to the Ministry to negotiate with the Qing court, and maybe meet Yan Zhao in Beijing.

As a result, he went to Beijing, only to know that Qianlong had gone to the south of the Yangtze River.

These tributes are precious, especially the two vases with the portrait of the younger sister Kasli (Princess Xiangxiang), which are rare treasures in the clan.

The court asked Wang Weiyang to personally escort her, and she followed the master, and the master and the master secretly escorted her.

She looked forward to meeting Yan Zhao in case she came to challenge Wang Weiyang.

After arriving in Zhejiang, when she heard what Yan Zhao had done, she became anxious, surpassed the Escort Bureau, and rushed to Hangzhou.

Perhaps, Yan Zhao went to the north of Zhejiang Province to wait for Wang Weiyang after making a fuss in Hangzhou City!

It must be so!

……

Safflower Club Hangzhou sub-rudder.

The safflower will gather together all the masters.

Wuchen patted the table and sighed:

"Yu Yutong has done a great job!"

Jiang Sigen said:
"Second Brother! His name is Yan Zhao now, not Yu Yutong!"

Zhao Banshan also sighed and said:
"No wonder he wants to withdraw from the club! No wonder he wants to change his name! Doing such a thing will definitely provoke the court to hunt him down! He doesn't want to cause trouble for us, and he doesn't want to implicate the Wudang faction!"

Chen Jialuo looked unhappy and said:

"Second brother! Although Yu Yutong killed officials and stabbed the emperor, he has different ideas from ours. Our purpose is to instigate rebellion against the emperor! We can't let him really kill the emperor, otherwise we will fall short!"

Wuchen said:
"He doesn't know the relationship between Qianlong and you! It's understandable to do so."

Chen Jialuo said:
"No matter what, we have to stop him for the sake of hundreds of millions of people and the Han family."

Wu Chen frowned.

After Xu Tianhong learned that Yan Zhao killed his enemy Fang Youde, he was secretly grateful to Yan Zhao, but he didn't tell others these words.

Now seeing that there is a faint disagreement between the chief helmsman and the second leader, he said:

"Or, let's find a chance to meet each other. They are good brothers for many years, so let's talk about it!"

Zhao Banshan said:
"Meet? He doesn't trust us now. If we meet and fight again, wouldn't it deepen the hatred?"

Wen Tailai glanced at Zhao Banshan, and thought to himself:

"Third brother, I think you are alluding to me!"

Most of Wen Tailai's eyes have seen it.

Zhao Banshan smiled awkwardly and said:

"Fourth brother, third brother, don't take it too seriously! By the way, is there any news about the eleventh brother?"

Old Eleven is Luo Bing, and when Wen Tai came to see Zhao Banshan and called Old Eleven, he knew that it was not just a matter of quick talk.

Xu Tianhong smiled bitterly and said:

"The last time she asked someone to send me the solution to the acupoints, I heard that she went to the capital. The twelfth brother is going to the capital to inquire about the news, maybe we will see it!"

In the past, Yu Yutong did all the scouting for the Red Flower Society, but now Yu Yutong has withdrawn from the Red Flower Society.

The old thirteen Jiang Sigen was rude and big, and couldn't bear this important task.

I had no choice but to fall on the head of the old twelve Shi Shuangying, and I don't know if he will not regret taking the lead to punish Yan Zhao that day!
Xu Tianhong added:

"It's all for the purpose of fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Everyone's goals don't conflict. What I mean is to find Yu Yutong to meet and let everyone talk about it, so as to avoid conflicts and hurt both sides!"

Chen Jialuo sneered and said:

"Yu Yutong is not trying to fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

Wen Tailai received the call:

"The chief rudder is right. Yu Yutong really doesn't have much interest in fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Tianhong frowned and said:

"how do I say this?"

Wen Tailai sighed:
"When we parted ways in Sandaogou, he said that in the future he would fight against all invincible fighters in heaven and earth, chasing Yan Luo! His goal is to be No. 1 in the world of martial arts. Whether it is to assassinate corrupt officials or the emperor, It's all for fame!"

Wuchen said:
"No matter what his purpose is, I have seen what he did, which is what a good man in the martial arts world does, and it deserves my high regard."

Jiang Sigen was not happy anymore, he was taken care of by Yan Zhao at the time, and later the cold air sealed the acupoint, and he suffered from the boss, he said angrily:
"Second brother, why do you want to win over Yu Yutong! No matter how powerful he is, he is only one person. There are so many heroes in our Honghua Society, and there are [-] to [-] brothers under him. He is impatient and dares to provoke us?"

Wu Chen sneered and said:
"Why, do you still plan to let us go to help you avenge? Anyway, I am a veteran, even if I can't win, I can't do the trick of besieging someone!"

Jiang Sigen's face turned yellow, and he bowed his head in embarrassment and remained silent.

Xu Tianhong hurriedly made a haha, and said:

"Old Shisan, our goal is to unite more heroes. After all, Yu Yutong has been our brother for many years, and has a relationship with Senior Lu. There is no need to fight to the death. In my opinion, the Qing soldiers now If you chase him closely, we can just send charcoal in a timely manner."

Chen Jialuo's face was cloudy and uncertain.

Zhao Banshan hesitated to speak.

At this time, Ma Shanjun, the rudder master of the Hangzhou sub-rudder, came in and said:
"Reporting to the heads of the family, our people sent news from the governor's office that Qianlong was seriously injured and unconscious. Yu Yutong seems to have gone to Dagu Town! The officers and soldiers seem to have grasped his movements, and the army is moving to northern Zhejiang."

……

Yan Zhao failed to assassinate Qianlong and did not dare to stay in the city.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he climbed out of the city wall and left the city without stopping. He raised his breath and performed lightness kung fu. He headed north all the way to the city, and found a woodland after a hundred miles.

This is the only way to go to Hangzhou City. Wang Weiyang escorted the tribute, there are so many people, it is impossible to detour elsewhere.

Although he was traveling in the dark, it is impossible not to be discovered by those who are interested in the official road of Baili.

He didn't care too much, the army came, and he was so good at lightness, he couldn't win, couldn't he run away?

Yan Zhao polished his martial arts while waiting for Wang Weiyang's arrival.

Towards the afternoon, he heard the hooves of fast horses on the official road.

He jumped onto a branch of a tree, parted the branch and looked at Guandao.

There were three people on the official road, he was stunned, because he knew the person first, and the two behind him were distinct, one bald, one white-haired, he could guess who they were without looking back at the plot.

He broke off a twig and threw it.

……

It was Huo Qingtong, his master and his apprentice who came here.

Huo Qingtong and the others still didn't see Yan Zhao fifty miles away from the city. They searched along the road, but no one found Yan Zhao's trace, but there were many people acting suspiciously. Naturally, it was to search for Yan Zhao.

She couldn't help but feel worried for Yan Zhao.

After traveling for more than ten miles, I found out that a person who looked like Yan Zhao had gone to the north.

Huo Qingtong confirmed his conjecture, and hurried forward.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind ahead, and she hastily pulled the reins.

A branch flew out of the forest and stuck in the center of the road a foot in front of her horse.

She hastily pulled out her sword, and a voice followed:

"Miss Huo, it's me."

Huo Qingtong's heart trembled, it was a voice that had been separated for only two months, but it made him think about it for a long time.

Guan Xuemei and Chen Zhengde thought they were being attacked, and they had already caught up and were ready to attack. When they heard the voice from the forest and saw Huo Qingtong's surprised expression, they immediately guessed the person in the forest.

The three jumped off their horses, led the horse into the forest, and within five zhang, they saw a young man in green shirt standing under a tree with a handsome demeanor and an outstanding temperament.

After the four greeted each other, Huo Qingtong said:
"Young Master Yu, it is rumored in the city that Qianlong was seriously injured and comatose. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and countless police officers are tracking your whereabouts. Is it too dangerous for you to be so close to Hangzhou?"

Yan Zhao laughed and said:

"Miss Huo came here to look for me, you know my plan?"

Huo Qingtong replied:
"I remember the young master said that Wang Weiyang was invited to fight. I went back to Xinjiang to the Central Plains this time, but I went to Beijing first. Later, when I saw Wang Weiyang escorting the darts to the south, I followed him all the way. It's just..."

Huo Qingtong's words have come to this point, can Yan Zhaoan not understand Huo Qingtong's deep affection?
Huo Qingtong said again:

"I don't know why the young master insists on challenging Wang Weiyang. But the timing is not right now, why not wait for the wind to pass, and then find another opportunity?"

Yan Zhao said:

"This time you returned to the tribe and defeated the Qing army, but after a long battle, the tribe also suffered countless casualties. Therefore, you pay tribute to the peace talks. If my news is correct, are there a pair of vases among your tribute?"

Huo Qingtong asked in surprise:

"How did the son know?"

Yan Zhao couldn't tell what he saw in the book, so he smiled and said:

"There are rumors in the Jianghu, I don't know if it is true, so I ask you."

Huo Qingtong said:

"Yes. The pair of vases are the portraits of my sister Kasli painted by the talented painter of our tribe. My sister is the real pearl of the grassland, extremely beautiful. Qianlong will definitely like this pair of vases when he sees them!"

Yan Zhao chuckled and said:

"Senior Chen, if you were Qianlong and saw such a beauty on the vase, what would you think?"

Chen Zhengde said seriously:

"I already have sister Yuemei. It doesn't matter what kind of beauty is to me. Anyway, I won't take a second look."

Guan Yuemei rolled her eyes at Chen Zhengde, and replied:

"Young Master Yu, you mean that Qianlong would have other ideas?"

Yan Zhao nodded and said:
"Qianlong is the most respected person in the world, and he is very happy and beautiful. When he sees such a beauty, he will definitely ask Hui to send her to the palace. If Hui is unwilling, then Zhaohui's army will definitely attack again!"

Huo Qingtong turned pale and said in a trembling voice:
"It's all my fault. I didn't expect this to happen. It almost brought disaster to the tribe!"

Yan Zhao stretched out his hand to hold Huo Qingtong's hand, and said:

"It's not too late! After we stop Wang Weiyang and I defeat him and grab the vase, you can use this to protest to the Qing court. Not only will there be no damage, but you can also ask for some benefits!"

Huo Qingtong's mood was agitated at this time, and he didn't find anything wrong.

Chen Zhengde and Guan Yuemei looked at each other, feeling that they were a bit redundant now.

Chen Zhengde said:
"Boy Yan, let me ask you. What if the Qing court ignores the peace proposal?"

Yan Zhao smiled slightly and said:

"Actually, there is a simple way to force the Qing soldiers back."

Huo Qingtong is intelligent and good at the art of war. Hearing this, he asked:

"any solution?"

Yan Zhao said:
"The Qing army's expedition is more important than money and food. Now that the Qing army has entered the pass for a hundred years, it is no longer the invincible army of the past. Now that the army passes by, it is like locusts crossing the border. Pick some masters from within, and assassinate prefectural and county officials in his rear. Once the warehouse is opened to release grain, there will inevitably be wars everywhere. Not only will the army be cut off, but it will also trigger a wave of anti-Qing. Since then, the Qing court has no time to take care of itself. Back to Xinjiang?"

Yan Zhao's words were not pointing at Jiang Shan indiscriminately, the Qianlong Dynasty was indeed failing militarily.

Yan Zhao remembers that Xiaojinchuan rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court spent 7000 million taels of silver and took 20 years to put it down.

Calculated according to the timeline, Xiao Jinchuan is still stubbornly resisting now.

You know, Yongzheng saved Qianlong only 5000 million taels of silver after being exhausted.

Since this is the world of martial arts, it is very easy for a master to assassinate an official.

If more officials are killed, the majesty of the government will be lost, and there will be frequent rebellions.

It's too late to put out fires everywhere, so how dare we go on an expedition again?

Huo Qingtong's eyes lit up, looking at Yan Zhao, the brilliance flowed, and said:
"My lord, this strategy is very good! Zhaohui is hiding in the army, and it is too difficult to assassinate. But the officials of the prefecture and county behind him are extremely easy to kill. If there is a little guidance, it will inevitably cause people to rebel. Zhaohui's rear is not stable. There is no need for us to force it. He must be withdrawn."

Chen Zhengde couldn't help saying:

"Boy Yan has a good plan. After this incident, we will kill some corrupt officials on the way back, and then open the warehouse to release food!"

After Chen Zhengde finished speaking, seeing Yan Zhao continue to hold Huo Qingtong's hand, Huo Qingtong seemed to have no reaction, frowned and said:

"I'll go explore the way with your master first, and see how far the people from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau are."

Guan Yuemei stood up and said:

"It's also time for you two to spend some time alone. We're not here to be annoying people."

Huo Qingtong came to his senses and pulled out his hand hastily, but being teased by Master's words again, his face blushed.

Yan Zhao had a thick skin and didn't respond at all.

……

After sending off the "Tianshan Double Eagles", he thought that two people would go to explore the way, so as not to miss the people from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

Yan Zhao also learned from Huo Qingtong that according to the Escort's schedule, it would be tomorrow at the earliest.

Yan Zhao and Huo Qingtong went further into the forest for more than three hundred feet and found a cave with a clearing in front of the cliff.

The cliffs are high and the forest is dense, and the two of them are not worried about being discovered.

Huo Qingtong had dried meat, and the two ate some by the way, and said goodbye to each other.

Although Huo Qingtong has long had a deep-rooted affection for Yan Zhao, but after all, he is a lonely man and a widow, and the two of them get along for a short time, so they can't help being reluctant to let go.Then he asked Yan Zhao for advice on martial arts, and Yan Zhao gave him some advice, and the estrangement between the two disappeared.

The sky gradually darkened.

A faint moon hangs high in the sky.

It was a cool night in late autumn, and the two lit a fire at the entrance of the cave.

Yan Zhao saw that although Huo Qingtong was wearing men's clothes, she looked even more graceful and beautiful; the firelight hit her delicate face, and You Cheng's complexion was milky white, as delicate as a spring flower, as beautiful as the morning glow, and she couldn't help but heart pounding.

Yan Zhao's heart burst into flames, and it was difficult to restrain it.

He reached out and took Huo Qingtong's slender hand.

Huo Qingtong's heart trembled. She had experienced battles and battles for a long time. Among thousands of troops, the blood and blood had never changed.

But now Yan Zhao lightly held his hand, and he felt hot all over, and his delicate body became weak.
