Wudang

Chapter 48

Yingcui Building VIP Room.

Miao Daoyi pushed the door open and came in.

"Daoyi, sit down and have a cup of tea." Zhang Junbao greeted.

Miao Daoyi just went outside and listened to what the people at the banquet were saying. He sat down and said, "Master Uncle, I heard some news."

Zhang Junbao put down his teacup, looked at Miao Daoyi and waited for his next words.

Those who can participate in Ahema's banquet are all his cronies.

Zhang Junbao knew this very well.

When these people get together, they will always talk about some things, which may not be known to outsiders.

Therefore, Zhang Junbao became curious.

"I heard that the person in the imperial palace will be visiting the north tomorrow." Miao Daoyi pointed in the direction of the imperial palace.

Zhang Junbao realized that it was Kublai Khan.

"Northern tour?" Zhang Junbao's face changed slightly.

"Uncle Master, is there something wrong?" Seeing Zhang Junbao's expression changed, Miao Dao couldn't help asking.

Zhang Junbao restrained his mind, shook his head: "It's okay, you can continue talking."

"Actually, the northern tour is an annual routine." Miao Daoyi said, "But this year is a bit special. In the past, the prince was allowed to stay in Dadu to supervise the country during the northern tour, but this time the prince went to Shangdu together, but Ahema Staying behind in Dadu...they are very excited..."

Listening to Miao Daoyi's words, many thoughts flashed through Zhang Junbao's mind.

Kublai Khan's northern tour, didn't he say that Ahema was about to die?

In memory, Ahema was assassinated during Kublai Khan's northern tour.

No wonder Ahhema's cronies are excited. For the next period of time, it will be time for Ahema to overwhelm the sky with his hands.

Ahema couldn't be too complacent, right?

Before Kublai Khan made his northern tour, he threw a big banquet. Aren't you afraid that the imperial spies would tell Kublai Khan what happened here?

Zhang Junbao felt that Ahema shouldn't be so stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become a powerful minister and traitor.

But he always felt that something was wrong. Ahema's banquet this time was definitely not to celebrate Kublai Khan's faction coming to power after Kublai Khan's northern tour.

"It should be a good thing for our Quanzhen Sect." Miao Daoyi finally said.

Now Quanzhen Sect and Ahema are on the same boat. The more powerful Ahema is in Dadu, the less affected Quanzhen Sect will be by the defeat of the classic debate.

"That's true." Zhang Junbao nodded.

He quickly withdrew his thoughts. The people here were excited. It can only be said that they were exaggerating and celebrating.

When Miao Dao saw that Zhang Junbao seemed to be a little absent-minded, he didn't say anything, just sat quietly with him and drank tea.

Zhang Junbao's thoughts flew to Wen Tianxiang again.

Under normal circumstances, it is even more difficult to save Wen Tianxiang.

But what if we take advantage of the chaos?

For example, when Ahema was assassinated, most of them would be in chaos, and the possibility of rescuing Wen Tianxiang should be much greater.

"Too fast, too sudden." Zhang Junbao sighed inwardly.

He only knew that Ahema was assassinated during Kublai Khan's northern tour, but he didn't know the exact date.

Originally, he thought there should be some days left, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

As a result, there is too little time left for myself.

Ahema will be assassinated soon, and he has only seen Prime Minister Wen once now.

I wanted to meet Fang Yilian and find out about him, but I didn't.

Before, I thought that I could take it slowly and step by step, but now it is too late.

"A direct showdown with Fang Yilian tomorrow?" Zhang Junbao pondered in his mind.

If this opportunity is missed, the possibility of saving Prime Minister Wen is very low.

"Just do it."

Zhang Junbao made up his mind.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with Fang Yilian's relationship with the Anti-Yuan Rebel Army, so I would directly make it clear that if he didn't cooperate, I would have to find another way.

However, it is basically impossible to succeed on your own.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao secretly sighed.

Convincing Fang Yilian and making Fang Yilian believe is the key.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Junbao and Miao Daoyi came to the front hall, which was the venue for the banquet. They found an inconspicuous seat and sat down, watching the bustling crowd.

Ahema was not here, and everyone seemed to be a little more casual, and it was better to get together and talk.

"Daozhang Zhang." Yu Huwen walked over and took a seat at Zhang Junbao's table.

"Treasurer Yuda." Zhang Junbao smiled, "Why don't you see Chengshen, I haven't thanked him for what happened last time."

He has no prejudice against Yu Huwen now, and his grandson Yu Chengshen has also helped him.

"Today's banquet, that kid is not qualified." Yu Huwen replied, "As for what happened last time, that's what he should do. Daoist Zhang doesn't need to care about it. It's just that his martial arts are a bit weaker."

"If there is a chance, I can exchange ideas with him in the future." Miao Daoyi said aside.

"That's great, thank you, Daoist Miao." Yu Huwen said with a happy face.

The Yanshan sect can be regarded as a great sect, and it has some prestige in the Jianghu.

If compared with Quanzhen Sect, it is nothing.

Miao Daoyi is a disciple of the head teacher, with extraordinary talents, he is definitely a rare opponent among his peers.

He said he was competing with his grandson, but he was actually giving pointers. How could Yu Huwen be unhappy?

"Daozhang Zhang, why are you sitting in such a corner, you should be the seat of honor." Someone came over and said.

"Yes, as it should be."

Hearing these words, many people turned their attention to Zhang Junbao.

"Zhang Daochang, I heard that the Quanzhen sect fought in the capital city a few days ago, and that the Master Huolong personally fought. I don't know if it is true or not. I am very curious, what is it?"

"I heard that most of the scum from the rivers and lakes mixed in and wanted to make trouble."

"What kind of scum, do you know? Daoist Zhang is here, do you need to say it?"

Zhang Junbao frowned slightly.

He will definitely not tell the truth about this matter.

Those who can know, naturally know.

If you don't know now, of course you don't have the right to know.

"Zhang Daoist, don't worry about it." Yu Huwen whispered to Zhang Junbao, then got up and said with a smile, "Everyone, today is just drinking, why are you talking about those unpleasant things?"

"Haha, what Master Yuda said is true." Someone gave Yu Huwen a lot of face.

"Drinking is drinking. When everyone is curious, ask if it's okay? It won't delay." Some people don't give Yu Huwen a lot of face.

Although they are both working under Ahema, these people are still intriguing and have many factions.

"It's the fights and killings in the rivers and lakes. It's just that the other party is doing a lot of evil, and my master can't see it." Zhang Junbao said.

"I don't know what sect it is?" Someone asked again.

Zhang Junbao frowned, some people here are ignorant.

In fact, when he came here, he also had expectations in his heart.

There will definitely be some people who will target themselves and the Quanzhen Sect.

Even Ahema's subordinates would envy some properties of Quanzhen Sect.

Since Ahema gave the order, they couldn't attack the Quanzhen Sect, so they felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing himself now, he definitely wouldn't give himself a good face.

"Yes, Daoist Zhang, can you tell everyone?"

Someone was booing.

"That's Fa Lie, the prime minister's cousin." Yu Huwen whispered to Zhang Junbao the guy who made the noise repeatedly.

Zhang Junbao quickly understood why the other party wanted to target him.

According to Yu Huwen, Efa Lie originally took a fancy to several shops of the Quanzhen Sect in the metropolitan city, but because of Ahema's order not to add insult to injury, he could only stare blankly.

Therefore, he didn't have a good impression of Quanzhen Sect.

Those who agree with the forehead are naturally headed by the forehead.

Yu Huwen and Efalie are not from the same school.

Efalie is an insatiable greedy person, and has also troubled Yusheng Trading Company many times.

However, Yu Huwen was highly valued by Ahema, and most of the time he was unable to succeed.

Therefore, the relationship between Yu Huwen and Efalie can be said to be relatively bad.

Now that he sees Yu Huwen getting close to him, coupled with his relationship with Quanzhen Sect, he wants to see his own jokes.

Zhang Junbao thought about whether he should teach Er Falie a lesson, but after thinking about it, it was not necessary at all.

When Ahema is finished, Efalie and these people will have no good end.

Why do it yourself?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhang Junbao's face, he's just a clown, how many more days can he play?

"Treasurer Yuda, I offer you a toast." Zhang Junbao picked up the wine glass and said.

Yu Huwen was stunned for a moment, and after recovering, he smiled and toasted.

His forehead darkened, did this kid dare to show his face and ignore his words?
He wanted to explode on the spot, but when the people beside him noticed it, they pulled him away immediately.

After all, it's the prime minister's banquet, so it's not good to make trouble here.

Not even the prime minister's cousin.

When Zhang Junbao drank a glass of wine, he suddenly coughed violently.

"Daozhang Zhang, are you alright?" Yu Huwen asked hastily as his face changed.

"It's all right." Zhang Junbao waved his hands after he stopped coughing.

"Uncle Master, your injury is not completely healed, so it's not good to drink." Miao Daoyi said.

"How can it be so serious?" Zhang Junbao smiled, "I'm happy today, Shopkeeper Yuda, let's have a good drink."

As he spoke, Zhang Junbao stood up, but his body shook suddenly and hit the table. The table shook, and the bowl of soup on it was overturned, and the splashed soup splashed onto Zhang Junbao's robe.

"Uncle Master, you still say it's okay? You are a little unsteady." Miao Daoyi hurried over to help him.

And at this time, Zhang Junbao's face turned pale in due course.

"Daozhang Zhang, hurry up and take a rest. It's the old man's fault to hurt your injuries." Yu Huwen said hastily, "Come here, get ready and let Daozhang Zhang go change and wash, your body is all dirty."

"Shopkeeper, pick a little beauty to wait for Daoist Zhang to take a bath and change clothes." He said loudly.

As soon as his words came out, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

"What? See what I do?" Ei Falie said, "Daozhang Zhang is not a Quanzhen Sect disciple, and he can't help being a woman. Daozhang Zhang, don't refuse."

"Thank you, I'll do it myself." Zhang Junbao said lightly.

Seeing Zhang Junbao leaving with Miao Daoyi's support, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Zhang Daochang is shy, no wonder, I'm afraid he hasn't tasted a woman yet, he's a baby~~haha~~"

Hearing the ridicule caused by the strong forehead coming from behind, Zhang Junbao sneered in his heart.

How could he care about a dying person?
"Master Uncle?"

"I'm fine, let them go." Zhang Junbao knew that Miao Dao was afraid of getting angry.

Originally, the purpose of pretending to be injured was to refuse some unreasonable demands of Ahema.

Didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Seeing the appearance of that group of people, Zhang Junbao might as well be out of sight.

It can be predicted that when Ahema was assassinated, most of the people present would be killed.

But Yu Huwen, Zhang Junbao felt that he could find a way to save him when the time came.

It's not about keeping Yusheng Commercial Bank. With Yusheng Commercial Bank's wealth, once Ahema falls, the Yu family can't keep such a large amount of wealth.

Therefore, Zhang Junbao can only find a way to save the lives of Yu Huwen's family when the time comes, and I believe he can still do this.

"Zhang Daochang, this way please, the hot water is already ready." A waiter stepped forward to lead the way.

After entering the room, it was steaming inside.

Zhang Junbao saw a [-]-year-old girl standing next to the bathtub in the house, she looked pretty, she was obviously the maid of Yingcui Building.

The maids who can be in Yingcui Tower are all carefully selected. They have been trained in various ways since they were young. I dare not say they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are also involved.

Especially in the aspect of serving people, it has been carefully trained.

These maids generally do not serve people, unless it is a special guest.

Under normal circumstances, after serving, the woman would follow the guests and leave Yingcui Tower, there is no saying that serving the two of them.

"Daozhang Zhang, this is Mei'er's contract of sale. Uncle Efalie in the front hall has already bought her and given it to the Taoist priest." As he spoke, the clerk handed the contract of sale to Zhang Junbao with both hands respectfully.

Zhang Junbao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would actually put it into action instead of just talking about it, sending himself a woman?
"Mei'er, take good care of the Taoist priest." The man slapped himself when he said this, "Small talk, talk too much, Mei'er, you are no longer from Yingcuilou, everything depends on Zhang Taoist's wishes."

Then the buddy left the room with a smile.

"Go out, I don't need to be waited on." Zhang Junbao was speechless for a while, he was not used to being waited on by others, and he was still a woman.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Er fell to her knees with a plop.

But Zhang Junbao was startled.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Zhang Junbao said hastily, "Get up."

Mei Er's tears fell down patter, sobbing softly without making a sound.

When Miao Dao saw that his uncle didn't seem to realize it, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle Master, this girl's deed of prostitution is in your hands, so she won't be able to stay in Yingcui Tower anymore."

Hearing Miao Daoyi's reminder, Zhang Junbao immediately reacted.

In other words, Meier will follow her in the future?
return to?

Severe forehead?

I am afraid that the forehead will not accept it.

"Could it be that Er Falie deliberately arranged it by his side?" Zhang Junbao suddenly had such a thought.

Whether it is or not, he definitely does not need Meier to serve him.

"Go and tidy up, come back with me later. You don't need to serve me now." Zhang Junbao sighed.

It doesn't matter if you take it back, and I don't have any dirty thoughts, so why can't Quanzhen Sect arrange a woman's whereabouts?

Changchun Palace and other palaces are not suitable for women to stay, but the properties under the name of Quanzhen Sect, such as some shops, must have things that women can do.

Regardless of whether she was sent by Efalie on purpose, just send her out and stay away from him.

"Yes, Daoist, Meier will clean up right away." Meier stopped crying when she heard this.

Just now she was really confused.

If the priest didn't want her, she would have nowhere to go.

"Daoyi, you go with her." Zhang Junbao said.

Miao Dao hesitated for a moment, Zhang Junbao knew his concerns: "Don't worry, it's still safe here, you go and help to see if there is anything you need to help, and then come back, it won't take long."

"Okay, master uncle." Miao Dao was right after thinking about it.

The current guard of Yingcui Building is taken over by Ahema's people, so there is no problem in terms of security.

Zhang Junbao looked at the thick layer of petals floating on the water surface of the tub, and he couldn't see the bottom of the tub at all, and shook his head, it was really particular.

Ordinary women only do this when they take a bath, right?
There was a nice smell in the house, it should be the spices from the Western Regions, the price is expensive, it is said that it is equivalent to gold.

Because Zhang Junbao had a hand in his forehead just now, he looked around the room carefully.

For example, is there a problem with the smell?

After careful identification, he finally confirmed that he was overwhelmed.

Because of Mei'er, Zhang Junbao was a little worried that Fore Falie would tamper with these fragrances, such as adding some aphrodisiac drugs.

At that time, there will be lonely men and widows in the house, and they are taking a bath, so it is easy to invite something to happen.

Then it was Ei Falie who broke the matter, in front of so many people, it was an embarrassing thing for himself and Quanzhen Sect.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to let Meier stay here.

After a while, Miao Daoyi came back.

"Uncle Master, I asked Miss Meier to wait in her room after packing up, and take her with me when we go back." Miao Dao closed the door for Zhang Junbao as soon as he finished speaking, and he stood guard outside the door .

Zhang Junbao didn't have much to say, he was at ease when Miao Dao took care of things.

He took off his Taoist robe and entered the bathtub wearing only a pair of tights.

If he was in his own residence in Changchun Palace, he would take a bath naked, and now he still has reservations outside.

The bathtub is very big, it can accommodate several people together, a thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Junbao's mind, those princes, nobles, and dignitaries, maybe they have to let the maids who serve them take a bath together, that's why the bathtub is so big.

In particular, there are several sets of clothes on the shelf next to it, including men's and women's dresses, don't they all explain this?
The temperature of the water was just right and it was very comfortable. Zhang Junbao couldn't help closing his eyes and resting his mind. He didn't bother to go through the front hall, and waited for Ahema to come over.

Heaven Prison.

The dungeon was originally extremely quiet after nightfall, but tonight it was broken by the sound of fighting.

"Master~~" A man covered in blood rushed towards Fang Yilian.

But when he approached, Fang Yilian swung the long knife in his hand and cut his neck open.

The visitor's eyes were wide open, and he fell down unwillingly.

"Master~~" Not long after, several figures quickly escaped from the prison and came to Fang Yilian's side.

"How is it?" Fang Yilian was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face.

"It's a trick. The court has set up an ambush. It's a trap. Many brothers have been damaged. They are all those bastards. They don't listen to the young master's order..."

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, what happened to those guys?" Fang Yilian said in a deep voice.

"Most of them died in the hands of the imperial court. Those who didn't die wanted to escape, but they were all killed by the brothers. They deserve to die."

Fang Yilian nodded.

At this time, many court masters rushed out of the sky prison, and at the same time, a large number of court masters also appeared outside the sky prison, trying to surround Fang Yilian and others.

"Young master, hurry up, we are finished."

Fang Yilian gritted his teeth and rushed out without hesitation.

"Damn it, the noses of hawks and dogs are really good." Fang Yilian found that there were pursuers behind him, but he hadn't completely escaped, and some masters were following him.

The curfew in the metropolis has already been curfew, the streets are empty, Fang Yilian shuttles between the houses and alleys.

The three bright lanterns of Yingcui Building came into view, Fang Yilian looked at the brightly lit Yingcui Building, without hesitation, sneaked in from a weak point of the guard.
