Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2683 The Capital (39)

"Is the news reliable?" He still couldn't believe it.

"Reliable, the Tang newspaper in Guangdong will arrive in a few days. There may be pretense in the text, but no one dares to hide the fact that the thieves broke into the Pearl River and approached the city."

The information he has obtained now is the first-hand information directly sent by Liu Xiao from Guangzhou, and its reliability is much higher than that of Tang Bao.No matter what the details are, it is already a certainty that thieves will enter the bandits.

Up to now, the only way to discuss this matter is with the Hearthstone Immortal. I don't know how this matter is recorded in his heavenly book.

He was about to instruct Wang Liang to invite Daoist Hearthstone, but he also thought that the situation in Guangzhou was not clear at the moment, and this matter was not simply asking him to predict the future trend, but more about getting to know his details.Now that the title of the Tang newspaper has not yet arrived in the capital, and the news of the robbers' invasion has not yet spread, if letting him know, does it mean that he has someone secretly inquiring about the news in Guangzhou?Better to wait.

Five or six days later, after the Tang newspaper in Guangdong arrived in the capital, Wang Liangcai was ordered to invite Mr. Zhou.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, every time I have an interview with the Hearthstone Immortal, I will either be quietly carried into the palace in a small sedan chair at night, or the Master Wang himself will visit in disguise.

But recently, Mr. Wang seldom came to consult. When Wang Liang came to invite him, Zhou Lezhi was quite surprised to see Mr. Wang's face - there was still a hint of displeasure.

As for why he is unhappy, it is naturally because the husband has recently successfully quelled the family conflicts, and he plans to work hard tonight.

When we arrived at Wang's house, it would be at least three shift days before the end of the consultation.The capital at night is not safe, so they will stay at Wang's house that night.It was only five o'clock before returning.If the husband wants to work, he has to wait until dark.

Zhou Lezhi is a young man, so he naturally understands the sense of urgency when he goes to the brain. Seeing the displeasure on his face, he is both sympathetic and funny.

Hmph, a man who makes you full doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry!
Since Master Wang came to invite him, there is absolutely no reason to refuse.Even though Mr. Zhou insists on "foreseeing the future", he also knows that it is not easy to find a bosom friend.In this capital, immortals and demons are just one step away.

Immediately, two sedan chairs carried Zhou's master and apprentice into the Wang residence.

Wang Liang didn't say what the specific reason was. Mr. Zhou originally thought it was just a normal consultation as usual, but as soon as he stepped into the study, he felt that something seemed unusual.There were many boxes of different sizes on the desk, and there were some iron pipes stacked inexplicably in the room. Just as he was wondering, Wang Yehao had already greeted him: "Mr. Zhou, something big is not right!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"There is news from the Australians." Wang Yehao pointed to various objects on the table and on the ground, and said, "Please look, sir, these are the Australian objects that I entrusted someone to find."

"Isn't that good news?" Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up after hearing this, and his face was full of excitement, "Where are they? Let's go quickly."

Master Wang is right, Mr. Zhou is an Australian!Zhou Lezhi thought.

Mr. Zhou is an Australian, Mr. Wang talked to himself.When studying with Mr. Zhou on weekdays, Mr. Zhou also said without hesitation that his knowledge is "Australian knowledge".But he didn't say that at first, he only said it was "overseas secret learning", and he changed it after seeing Australian glassware.

"This matter is quite tortuous, sir, let me tell you slowly." Wang Yehao gestured for Mr. Zhou to sit down, and then said, "Last time it was said that Australians opened a shop in Guangzhou to sell treasures. This time there are more than [-] Australian pirates. People set up a village in Lingao County, Qiongzhou Prefecture..."

"What's the situation?" Mr. Zhou's face was full of disbelief, "500 people?" He muttered to himself: "Impossible, impossible, wormholes have a mass limit, last time a car started shaking... ..."

Suddenly he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately shut up.

Although Wang Yehao was far away, he couldn't hear what he said clearly, but he heard the words "500 people", "impossible" and "wormhole".Combined with his expression, he immediately understood that the Immortal Zhou really had a universe inside him.

Not only is he an Australian, he probably knows the details of Australians very well!
If I go to Guangdong and Guangxi to become an official, this person will be of great use!
Mr. Zhou looked at the various objects on the table with doubts.These rags were picked up by the villagers near the Australian camp after the Australians left-in fact, they were all worthless rags, purely out of curiosity.After receiving Master Wang's instructions, Liu Wei collected them specially, and sent someone to send them back to the capital quickly.

In anyone's eyes, this is rubbish.Although there are some broken glassware among them, the broken glassware cannot be said to be of much value other than being inlaid with windows.

Hearthstone Taoist looked carefully at the pile of tatters, and the more he looked at it, the weirder his expression became, sometimes surprised, sometimes contemptuous, sometimes puzzled... In short, Zhou Lezhi had never seen such a rich expression.

"These are also Australian objects?" Mr. Zhou asked, pointing to a pile of copper and iron pipes and castings on the ground.

"Guo Dongzhu also built a Fengyue place 'Ziming Tower' in Guangfu, which is said to be able to cast spells to drive away water and fire. These are the tools of the dojo. According to Mr., these are all from the mirror of heaven and earth?"

With a solemn expression, Mr. Zhou looked at the pile of metal scraps repeatedly: "It seems that those five hundred Australians have been tinkering with these all the time? It's not worth it."

"It is true that most of them are glassware. I heard that sugar paper is also sold recently, which is not worth mentioning."

"What height did you say they were all entrenched in?"

"Lingao County, Qiongzhou Prefecture."

"That's on Hainan Island. What's so special about this county?"

"Lingao County is located in a remote area, there is no production, and the population is small. It is really unknown."

"If they don't do business in Guangzhou, what are they going to do in that backcountry?"

"Please take a look, sir. This is the relevant title book memorial and pond newspaper. I asked my master to copy it together." Wang Yehao pushed the booklet on the table over, "According to Lingao County's Dangshi memorial, Australia Sea Thieves come in big iron boats..."

"Wait a minute!" Before Wang Yehao finished speaking, Mr. Zhou felt something was wrong, "Why is there still a big iron boat?"

"Oh, sir, don't be surprised. Although this matter is unimaginable, there are many records to confirm it. It should not be a rumor. It is reported that the ship is more than ten feet high, half a mile long, black in body, without oars and sails..."

Listening to Wang Yehao's introduction, Mr. Zhou opened his mouth wider and wider. It seemed that the surprise in his heart had reached its peak.

"Damn it! The mobile bases are here, and the money is big enough! My lord, I think we need to find those Australians quickly. It's not too late."

"There may be something wrong with this matter." Wang Yehao tapped his fingers on the booklet, "Australians took advantage of firearms to occupy Lingao and plan Qiongzhou. Wang Zhitai gathered all the strength of the province to wipe it out, but there was nothing he could do. The whole army was defeated. ——Australians are now outside Guangzhou again..."

Mr. Zhou no longer cared about being reserved, he picked up the manuscript and read it carefully.Zhou Lezhi knew that Mr. said that he was very knowledgeable but not good at reading. Most of the memorials and titles could not be understood, so he said immediately: "Sir, let me read it."

In this way, Zhou Lezhi explained it into vernacular while reading it, which made Mr. Zhou understand what the official document meant: a man surnamed Wen claimed to be a legacy of the Song Dynasty, and he landed in Lingao with more than 500 people to grab land for infrastructure construction. Incidentally dump supplies.Then the government couldn't stand it anymore, so they sent troops to suppress the bandits, but they were chased away by the five hundred people.Now five hundred people have gone to the city of Guangzhou.

After listening to Mr. Zhou, he didn't care about his demeanor and etiquette. He went back and forth in the study seven or eight times, and suddenly said to Wang Yehao: "My lord, the Qiankun Mirror is definitely in the hands of that surname Wen. Since the government and army suppressed bandits No, I don’t know if the imperial court intends to ask for security, I am willing to lobby.”

"This matter is under court discussion, and there is no conclusion yet. It's just that Wang Zhitai has tried to recruit before, and the Australian pirates have no intention of submitting."

"I'll talk to them and maybe I'll agree. After all, the Mirror of Heaven and Earth is mine." Mr. Zhou felt unwilling.

"This official thinks that this is absolutely impossible."

"Why?" Mr. Zhou asked in bewilderment.

"Sir, you are confused!" Wang Yehao said with a grieved look, "Did you forget the two emperors of Huiqin?"

Mr. Zhou looked puzzled: "The two captured emperors of the Song Dynasty? What's the matter?"

Wang Yehao let out a long sigh, and said eloquently: "In the past, the two emperors of Huiqin were trapped in the hands of thieves. Gaozong was not only slow in rescuing him, but even issued twelve gold medals to recruit Yue Wumu to return to the court for punishment. What did all these things do? Power and position. Today, there is a bandit named Wen, who is the leader of the bandit with his merits. He falsely claims that the Miao descendants of the Song Dynasty refused to accept the teachings of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a faint intention of cracking the ground. The Qiankun Mirror is Mr.'s property. It's just that How can a pirate admit it! If you go, sir, do you still want to be the Supreme Emperor?"

Mr. Zhou had to admit that Mr. Wang made a lot of sense. Since it was an armed group, the water inside must be very deep. His identity was indeed a bit embarrassing. If he went there rashly, he might be shot and reimbursed.But since those people have opened the base, they should be planning to engage in long-term operations, and it is estimated that they will not leave for a while.Instead of rushing over to give away the head, it is better to be prepared first and then try it out.

Wang Yehao saw that the other party's eyes were wandering, and he hesitated to speak. Knowing that the rhetoric just now had an effect, he took advantage of the situation and asked: "This mirror of heaven and earth is so amazing, sir, can you find a way to break it?"

"It's not easy to make, this Qiankun mirror is quite difficult to make." After expressing his difficulties, Mr. Zhou suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "By the way, isn't your lord going to take over as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi next year? Then we will find a way to get in touch with Australians. ?”

"What did you just say, sir?" This time it was Wang Yehao's turn to be surprised.Although some people in the court were discussing this matter, he was firmly locked at home, and it was impossible for the Hearthstone Immortal, who was "kept out of the outside world", to know.This remark is so decisive, it means that it must be written in the "Book of Heaven".
