Go crazy, my court is all treacherous

Chapter 43 Hong Qigong

"Good wine! Good wine!" He threw the wine jar to Lu Yan again.

"Senior, was there any fighting here before?"

"Well! I just strangled a few little bastards here. These four people killed innocent people indiscriminately in Shanxi. I, a member of the Beggar Clan, chased them for a long time, and today they finally fell into my hands."

"Senior is so enlightened and righteous! I am so admired by this junior!"

"Don't think the senior is older than the younger. The old beggar is called Hong Qi. People who are familiar with him are called Qigong. Those who are not familiar with him are called the old beggar!"

"Qigong! Junior Gao Changgong! I am so happy to meet senior today!" Lu Yan said.

"What's with that mask of yours?"

"To be honest, senior, this is a little secret that cannot be disclosed for the time being. I hope you will forgive me, senior, and I am not hiding it deliberately. I will be honest with you when I get the chance later!"

"It doesn't matter! This is what you came here for!"

"No! I have something else to ask of senior," Lu Yan said.

"what's up?"

"Senior, does he know Guo Jing? I was entrusted by someone to find a person named Guo Jing! It is said that he has a close relationship with senior!"

"Who is the person who entrusted you with this?"

"Torei, the fourth prince of Mongolia!"

"Mongol?"

"Yes! He is a Mongolian! I just want a promise! And the other party should not have any malicious intentions. If senior knows the whereabouts of Guo Jing, please tell him!"

"Guo Jing is my new disciple! Tell me your whereabouts, and I will ask him to find you later!"

"Thank you Qigong!"

"Qi Gong, I have one more thing! I got the news today that Li Qiong, the Huainan general of the Ming Dynasty, defected to the Jin people with [-] troops in the past two days."

"Oh? That doesn't make sense! Bastard! Where is he now?"

"It has been assigned to Jin Wushu's account. It should be near Shandong now." Lu Yan analyzed.

"Okay! This drink is not for nothing! This matter will be taken care of by the Beggars!"

"Senior, this junior has a merciless request. If there is any news about this person, please ask Qi Gong to inform this junior. I want to kill this person myself."

"Do you have a personal grudge?" Hong Qigong asked.

"Everyone will find these traitors and punish them!"

If we were to count personal vendettas, Lu Yan could be counted here, but we couldn't say so.

"Okay! If there is news about this person, I will inform you! I will accompany you, old man!"

"Thank you Qi Gong for making it possible!"

"Oh, that's too far! This kind of national thief should have died a long time ago. Everyone in our Ming Dynasty will be able to punish him."

"Seventh Duke understands justice well!"

"What are you talking about!!" Qi Gong said, "Hey, boy, it's time to get used to it, you can't touch my chicken wings and chicken butt!"

As he said this, Qi Gong snatched the roast chicken into his hands.

"Qi Gong, this chicken is too small. I'll get two more fat ones for senior to eat later!"

"And I know how to eat it. It's even more delicious when made into beggar's chicken!"

"Oh? And beggar's chicken? I've been a beggar all my life, and this is the first time I've heard of the practice of beggar's chicken!"

"It's not difficult to say! I also stole this from others."

"A whole chicken, stripped of its feathers and disemboweled, with its heart and lungs hollowed out. Put bananas, apples and various spices inside, wrap it in lotus leaves, then cover the outside of the lotus leaves with mud, buy it underground, and light a fire on the ground. Wait for the fire After it's burned out, the remaining heat from the charcoal fire will steam the beggar's chicken until it's fragrant and juicy! That's how delicious it is!" Lu Yan described it as he spoke.

"I like you, boy! I'm an old beggar and I have no other hobbies. I'm just greedy, especially chicken. What you said brought out all the greedy things in my stomach! How can you accompany me!"

"Hahahaha! This beggar chicken has no time today. When I get back, I will prepare the materials and go out to invite the seniors. Today, why don't I invite Qi Gong to the tavern for a drink!"

"Okay! The old beggar is just greedy!"

When it comes to the efficiency of the Beggar Clan, it is really high.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was estimated that only the Jin Yiwei could compete with the Beggar Clan.

Just one day later, news came.

Li Qiong is currently garrisoning in Zibo, facing Qin Liangyu's garrison across a river.

On this day, Hong Qigong and Lu Yan made an appointment to meet in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Lin'an City.

Lu Yan had just finished handling the beggar's chicken and buried it in the ground.

Hong Qigong had just returned from catching a lot of poisonous insects nearby, including scorpions and centipedes, and he caught three full bamboo tubes.

"Qi Gong, are you preparing to make poison?" Lu Yan asked.

After the two drinks now, Hong Qigong and Lu Yan are no longer so open-minded.

It even feels like a year-end friendship.

"Silly boy, you don't know this."

"Whether it's poisonous or not, these two are the most beautiful delicacies in the world!"

"I guess you haven't eaten it before, what a pity!"

"I wonder if you have the guts to try it later!"

Then he took out a broken porcelain bowl, sandwiched it between bamboo strips, and put it on the fire to bake. When the bowl was hot, he tore a few pieces of chicken skin into the bowl.

A very fat one.

The chicken skin is sizzling and oily as it is roasted over a high fire.

The aroma of oil is overflowing.

Hong Qigong looked at the chicken skin in the bowl that was almost roasted. He picked up the golden chicken skin with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and smacked his lips.

That's called a fragrance.

A large layer of chicken fat was left in the bowl.

Then Hong Qigong pulled the centipede and scorpion into the bowl.

"When you bake something like this, you have to use chicken fat to make it delicious!"

"Sprinkle some more salt and chili powder, um~ don't think too much about it. I guess only the dragon meat from the sky and the donkey meat from the north can compete with this!"

Hong Qigong brought another small bowl and put the roasted centipedes and scorpions into the bowl.

Neatly arranged in two rows.

"Do you dare to try it?" Hong Qigong asked jokingly.

Lu Yan laughed when he heard this.

In modern times, this thing was just fried game at night market stalls. It cost five yuan a bunch and cost at least two hundred yuan each time.

You actually asked me this, old man, let’s agree first, just don’t scold me if you eat too much later.

"Just give it a try, why not!"

As he spoke, he picked up one in a bravado and carefully tested it in his mouth.

You have to act like you are eating it for the first time.

To be honest, since I traveled here, I have eaten too many delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace, but I have never eaten these wild game.

But it’s normal. Which royal chef has the guts to put these into the royal meal?
To be honest, at this moment, I am missing fried game and beer again.

Beer and game go best together.

Under Hong Qigong's eyes, Lu Yan carefully swallowed the first centipede, then the first scorpion.

Hong Qigong began to admire the courage of the young man in front of him.

"Bold! Not bad! Not bad!" The more I watched it, the more I liked it. He was much better than that silly boy Guo Jing.

Then he watched Lu Yan get out of control and eat them one after another endlessly.

"Little bastard, eat slowly and save some for the old beggar!"

"I can't eat anything I bake faster than you!"

Fragrant, really fragrant.

This was much more fragrant than the wild game now, completely wild.

All natural flavor. "Qi Gong, let me tell you, I will take two more bites of this, and I will give you two more legs of the beggar chicken! See if that works!"

"You fart! Stop fooling me, old beggar, you just said that both beggar's chickens are mine, why are they yours now!"

After that, hurry up and grab this fried scorpion centipede.

The joke was over, mainly because it was really delicious, so Lu Yan decided to grab some more.

Qi Gong said, "Don't go there. Almost all the centipedes and scorpions on this mountain are here. You won't be able to find a few no matter how hard you look."

Lu Yan embarrassedly picked up the jug and started drinking!
I'll make it up for you later!
Talk about business while drinking.

"Qi Gong, this Li Qiong happens to be near the destination of the Wulin Rebel Army. They have discussed countermeasures in the past two days. Daochang Qiu and several leaders decided to lead a large force towards General Qin Huaiyu first, and wait for her to come to her side Once the crisis is over, we can rush to the aid of General Yue."

"That's great! Moreover, Jin Wushu's army is on Qin Huaiyu's side, and the Wulin rebels can join in, which will undoubtedly help him in times of need."

"Then what are your plans here?"

"I plan to go to Zibo. I will remove the thorn in Li Qiong's side and boost the morale of our Ming Dynasty! Use the dog's head on his neck to give my Ming Dynasty soldiers a sacrificial flag!"

"Okay! Qi Gong, I'll go with you!"

"That's good, I have someone to take care of me! I'm thirsty and hungry, and you can still make me something delicious!" Qi Gong joked.

Lu Yan thought to himself that he was underestimated by Qigong.

I can fight very well!
However, it seems that my own efforts are not enough for Qi Gong.

But if you wait for me, within a year, I promise I will be no worse than you!

Of course, you can't say these two sentences. If you say it, you might be laughed at by Qi Gong.

"When will we leave?"

"Leave as soon as it gets dark! We will attack eight hundred miles at night and catch him off guard! Even if the Jin Army knew the movements of the Wulin Rebels, they would not have thought that we would be so fast! The Tiandihui side has already prepared two fast horses for us. Horse!"

"Okay! Eat first! Eat and drink enough to kill the thief!"

"Don't panic before a battle, it's a bit like my youthful demeanor!"

"This thing is so delicious! I never thought chicken could be cooked like this!"

"Hey, put down my two chicken legs first!"

"Qi Gong, listen to me, today's payment does not count, I will replenish it for you later!"

"No! You have to keep your word!" Qi Gong.

"I'll make you double!" Lu Yan changed his words.

"Four portions! You have to make it with your own hands!"

"make a deal!"

After asking the disciples of the Beggar Clan to deliver a message to Fang Chang, Lu Yan set off with Hong Qigong and the other two.

Along the way, go fast and gallop across the countryside!
Except for a horse-drinking session halfway through, we spent the rest of the time on the road.

While drinking the horse, Hong Qigong also checked to see if he was running in the wrong direction.

After all, there were no street lights in ancient times, and there was no other light except starlight and moonlight.

Running eight hundred miles under the stars and under the moon, Lu Yan thought that it was almost as fast as driving a car.

Finally, at midnight, the two of them entered the Jin Army's barracks.

Taking advantage of the shift change, the two hid in the shadows and lurked.

Lu Yan thought to himself that there were indeed loopholes in the shift system. When he returned to the palace in the future, he must ask both the Jin Yiwei and the imperial guards to change it to three shifts.

This will prevent assassins from taking advantage of you.

After observing the time of the two sticks of incense, he finally found out Li Qiong's camp.

There were three people inside, surrounding the sand table.

"General Li, according to our inquiries, the people in the Ming Dynasty have gathered their troops and are preparing to set off tomorrow and the day after! According to the current analysis, [-]% of them should be rushing to aid Qin Liangyu's tribe!" A man in armor spoke.

"How many are there?"

"According to the spies, if you don't count the beggar gang, there should be about 5000 of them!" Another armored man said.

"How many people are there in the Beggar Clan?" Li Qiong asked.

"It's hard to estimate the number of people in the Beggar Clan. According to estimates by spies, there are at least 2 people!"

"In that case, we will be under great pressure! This matter needs to be reported to Marshal Jin Wushu as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, Master Li Qiong. We have sent people there, but no one has responded yet! What Master Jin Wushu meant before was that as long as the western front can be stabilized and Yue Fei's first wave of attacks can be prevented, we can separate A part of the elite troops will come to support us, and then we can encircle the Ming army Qin Liangyu's troops from the northwest and east. No matter how powerful Qin Liangyu is, he will become the turtle in the urn."

Outside the camp, Lu Yan was impatient to wait.

"Qi Gong, do you still want to wait for these losers to finish beeping before taking action?"

"Oh? I thought you didn't do anything because you wanted to spy more information?"

"Holy crap! We thought about going together, and I thought you wanted to hear more information about them!"

"It's nothing! Listen carefully, after you succeed, run separately! Gather at the hill five kilometers away!"

"it is good!"

"I'll distract the two slightly stronger ones, and leave it to you, Li Qiong! Take action!"

As he spoke, a figure jumped out!
The person in the tent shouted, this person was Xueli Huanan's second brother Xueli Huabei.

"Who!" Xueli Huabei rushed out immediately!

"Huabei be careful!" Xueli Huadong warned.

At this time, in the distance, Xue Lihua Bei was already fighting with the assassin.

"A proud dragon has regrets!" Suddenly a palm slapped Xueli Huabei, and Xueli Huabei screamed.

Countless soldiers rushed out of the camp and made a mess.

"There are assassins!"

Torches were lit one after another, and there was a chaos of shouts of killing and grabbing.

Hong Qigong seriously injured Xueli Huabei with one palm, then picked up a torch and burned seven or eight tents in a row.

The shocking fire light came on, and the horses started to frighten. They neighed continuously and kicked up dust.

The horses trampled on the golden soldiers and screamed repeatedly, joining in with the neighing of the horses and the sound of the wind.

Xueli Huadong in the tent felt bad, so he immediately rushed out of the tent to rescue Xueli Huabei, and called two soldiers to protect Li Qiong.

After Xuelihua left, the soldiers and Li Qiong were on guard.

Lu Yan had the previous experience of standing alone in Xueli Huanan, so he naturally knew the general strength of Xueli Huadong.

According to common sense, I can naturally deal with them, even one-on-two is not a big problem.

But this is a sneak attack in the enemy camp, not a competition. If he misses the attack and fails to win, he will be in a hard battle.

In the end, it will be counterproductive and put you into an unfavorable situation.

So when Lu Yan was chasing Qigong in Xuelihuadong, he took advantage of the emptiness and broke into Li Qiong's camp.

Outside, he naturally knew Qi Gong's intention, so he made the noise louder to attract more firepower for himself, so that he could make his move easier.

"Who are you!"

"The one who wants your life!" Lu Yan said fiercely.

"Young man, how dare you tell me your name!" Li Qiong asked.

"God of War of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Changgong! Li Qiong, come and die!" Lu Yan approached step by step.

This kind of traitor always feels that killing him with one knife would be an advantage.

Li Qiong, on the other hand, was searching through the memories in his mind, wondering why he never remembered that there was a number one person named Gao Changgong in the Ming Dynasty.

But if you see that the other party has not achieved his goal, you will not give up.

Immediately order the soldiers around you to come together!

Take down the assassin as soon as possible.

"Behead him, life or death!"

"Come on!"

"Eat my knife!"
