Rebirth of the deer dragon, the leader of the dragon

Chapter 373 Heart Knot 3
Kangxi laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said to Hong Tianxiao: "Very well, your strategy of embedding flowers and trees is very clever. In this way, people in the world's martial arts will never trouble Shaolin Temple anymore, they will only look for Shaolin Temple. Feng can't beat their troubles, so it's a good thing, they will be tired of dealing with people who come up with ideas about "42 Chapters" every day, and naturally they will have a lot less time to fight back."

At this time, Hong Tianxiao suddenly had a terrible idea in his mind. The person who leaked the news of "42 Chapters" was probably the little emperor. Anti-Qing, such a poisonous strategy, Hong Tianxiao only felt that his back was wet with sweat.

Hong Tianxiao suddenly thought again, when Shunzhi abdicated, how could such a big treasure not be handed down, but taking away the "42 Chapters" must be because he was worried that the little emperor would not be a Mingjun, so he left a tactic behind and waited. When it was discovered that the little emperor had done better than him, he would naturally hand over the scriptures to him.

It seems that the little emperor knew the secret of the "42 Chapters" a long time ago. From this point of view, when the Suksaha Mansion was raided, Mao Dongzhu pointed out that he wanted the "42 Chapters". His actions had long been under Kangxi's surveillance, and he wondered if the little emperor knew about the ups and downs he had with the nine princesses in Mao Dongzhu's bedroom. Thinking of this, Hong Tianxiao's forehead was covered with sweat.

When Kangxi was not paying attention, Hong Tianxiao hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there are as many as eight copies of the "42 Chapters". What you get is one scripture, and if you can’t find the remaining seven, it’s useless.”

Kangxi smiled and said: "Boss Liu is right." After a pause, Kangxi continued: "The other three scriptures are in the hands of Zhenghongqi, Zhenglanqi, and Xianglanqi. Zhenghongqi The leader of the banner is Prince Kang, and I have ordered him to present the scriptures."

Hong Tianxiao was secretly surprised when he heard the words. This was exactly the same as the plot in the original book. The "42 Chapters" in Prince Kang's mansion had already fallen into his own hands. When he comes out, Prince Kang will invite him.

Kangxi said again: "Fu Deng, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, is still young. I asked him just now, and he said that the previous banner owner, Jia Kun, was killed when he attacked Yunnan, and Wu Sangui took care of all the funeral. What came into his hands was just a seal, a few military flags, and tens of thousands of taels of silver, and nothing else."

Hong Tianxiao's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Wu Sangui must have swallowed this scripture. Could it be that Wu Sangui also knows the secrets in the scripture?"

Kangxi shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this, maybe it is, otherwise, why did Wu Sangui just hide this scripture. The [-]th of next month will be the day when Princess Jianning will marry far away in Yunnan. I want to come Thinking about it, only Director Liu is more suitable for this marriage envoy."

Hong Tianxiao was secretly happy, since he knew that the headquarter of the Demon Cult was in Yunnan, so Hong Tianxiao had long thought of going to Yunnan. Not only could he investigate the situation of the Demon Cult, but he could also meet Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, Chen Yuanyuan and others for a while. But he pretended to be reluctant and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Suo Shoufu is not in good health, and Oboi seems to be arrogant again. I am worried that he will plot against the Emperor, so it is better to let the slave stay Protected by the emperor?"

Kangxi had already made up his mind about this matter, and he heard the words: "Director Liu is very loyal, I am very pleased, but although Oboi is arrogant, I am not just in charge of the government, so I have my own strategy to deal with Oboi. How long is my safety, if I borrow the three masters from your house, I will not be afraid of Oboi."

Hearing the words, Hong Tianxiao felt stunned, the little emperor actually made up the idea of ​​Lu Gaoxuan and the three of them. If it was before, Hong Tianxiao naturally wouldn't worry that Lu Gaoxuan and the three would betray, but after the Wulongmen apostasy, Hong Tianxiao had already given them The antidote for the twin fetus Yijin Wan is really uncertain whether the three of them can withstand the temptation of money, power and beautiful women.However, since Kangxi said it, he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree: "It's their honor to let them have the opportunity to enter the palace to protect the emperor. I will arrange for them after the servant returns."

Kangxi nodded and said: "Very well, after they enter the palace, I will never treat them badly, you can rest assured."

Hong Tianxiao thought, the more you don't treat them badly, the more worried I am, the three of them know my identity, if they rebel, what should I do?However, for a while, Hong Tianxiao couldn't think of any solution.

Kangxi didn't pay attention to Hong Tianxiao's ecstasy, and said again: "Director Liu, you escort the princess to Yunnan this time. After you arrive at Wu Sangui's mansion, you must inquire about this matter carefully. Once you have news, you must find a way to get the scriptures back. Wu Sangui You are a treacherous and slippery old man, you must not let him find out."

After coming out of the upper study room, Hong Tianxiao was full of worries. He met a guard head-on, greeted him, and said in a low voice: "Director Liu, Prince Kang wants to see you. I wonder if Director Liu is free?" The emperor asked Prince Kang about the "42 Chapters", so he asked, "Where is the prince?"

The guard said: "My lord is waiting for an answer in the guard's room."

Hong Tianxiao smiled and said, "He actually came in person?" He thought to himself, it seemed that Prince Kang was really in a hurry.

The guard said: "Yes, yes. He said that he wanted to invite Director Liu to drink and listen to a play, but he was worried that the emperor would send Manager Liu to attend to some important matters, and you would not be able to do so." Hong Tianxiao smiled wryly when he heard this, and there was indeed something There is a big thing to do, and there is a troublesome thing to deal with.

When they came to the guard's room, the guards were not there, only Prince Kang was sitting alone with a tea bowl in one hand, lost in thought, frowning, deeply worried.When he saw Hong Tianxiao coming in, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl, grabbed his hand, and said: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I want to kill my second brother."

Hong Tianxiao knew that he had something to ask for in order to lose the scriptures, but seeing him being so affectionate, he also knew that there was a brotherhood in it, and he liked it a little, and said: "Second brother has something to do, just send someone to tell me, and I will return it to you." Are you afraid that my little brother won’t help you? It also saves you from coming to me in person.”

Prince Kang said: "Second brother heard that the third brother had done a great job in rescuing her at Qingliang Temple, and he snatched Princess Jianning back from Feng Xifan, but he made a great contribution. The second brother came here today to prepare a troupe at home. Come to congratulate the third brother, and secondly, our brothers have not seen each other for a long time, let's catch up on the old days."

Hong Tianxiao said with a smile: "Second brother is serious, what is not great, it is what I should do, but the second brother is right, we haven't seen each other for a few months, today is just a good time to catch up. By the way, second brother, why didn't you invite eldest brother as well?"

Prince Kang sighed and said: "Third brother may not know something when he just came back. Suo Shoufu is not in good health recently. Eldest brother stays in front of the bed every day to fulfill his filial piety. He hasn't gone out for more than half a month."

Hearing this, Hong Tianxiao felt strange, since Sonny had been ill for half a month, why the little emperor didn't allow him to treat Sonny after he came back? Could it be that the little emperor has already grown wings and is already able to fight Oboi? It's Sony, so I don't care about his life or death.

Hong Tianxiao thought for a while and said: "Since that's the case, why don't I visit the eldest brother's mansion with my second brother, so as to show our brotherhood."

Prince Kang said: "This..." Although he was burning with anxiety, what Hong Tianxiao said was very correct, and he couldn't express his disagreement, so he said: "Second brother also meant the same thing, so let's go back to the mansion with second brother first Take a trip, prepare a small profit, and then visit together."

"This, I just let the second brother spend money." Hong Tianxiao knew that Prince Kang would not be able to help telling about the "42 Chapters" on the road, and did not express any objection. The topic changed, "Is it true that the second brother is looking for the younger brother?" For the emperor to ask you to hand over the "42 Chapters"?"

Prince Kang turned pale when he heard the words, and blurted out: "How did the third brother know, could it be that you have taken the scriptures in my mansion?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't take it back, so he hurriedly apologized: "Ah, Third brother, second brother didn't mean that, could it be that the emperor mentioned this to you just now?"

"Exactly." Hong Tianxiao nodded and said, "The emperor did say this just now, and it just so happens that the second brother came to me at this time, so I can guess that the second brother is for the "42 Chapters". It's just that , although the scriptures are related to the secret of the treasure, but now the emperor asks you for it, and the second brother will just give it to you. Besides, to obtain the treasure, you must have eight scriptures in your hand, and the second brother only has one, which is useless."

Hearing what Hong Tianxiao said, Prince Kang almost burst into tears, and said with an aggrieved face: "Second brother's family property is not invincible, but it will never be spent in a lifetime. Why do I want that treasure? If you are interested in that treasure, how can Second Brother dare to take it?"

Hong Tianxiao pretended to be strange and said: "In this case, hand over the scriptures to the emperor... the second brother just said that I have to go to the scriptures. Could it be that your "42 Chapters" is lost?"

Prince Kang sighed, and said: "Brother, that's exactly the case. You and I are our own people, so we don't need to hide anything from you. As an elder brother, a catastrophe is imminent. I'm afraid that we will lose our wealth and life."

Hong Tianxiao pretended to be very surprised, and said: "My lord is the direct descendant of Daishan Dabeile, **** lord, the emperor is trusting and reused, what disaster is imminent? Could it be because of the loss of the scriptures, but it is just a scripture Well, what's all the fuss about?"

Prince Kang said: "Brother, you don't know something. After we entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, the first emperor gave each banner owner a Buddhist scripture. I am the owner of the Zhenghong Banner, and I was also given one. Today the emperor summoned, They want me to hand over the scriptures bestowed by the late emperor. But...but this scripture of mine, for some reason, was...stolen by someone."

Hong Tianxiao nodded and said: "No wonder the eldest brother is anxious, let alone the "42 Chapters" is about the secrets of treasures and the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, the second brother lost the book, it is very likely that this book fell into the hands of those who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty It is really disrespectful to say that this scripture was bestowed by the first emperor, and the second brother failed to take good care of the gift from the late emperor. The emperor suddenly wants you to hand in the scriptures, I am afraid that he already knows that you have lost the gift of the scriptures , if we want to pursue this matter, it seems that the second brother is really in trouble this time." After speaking, Hong Tianxiao shook his head again and sighed.

When Prince Kang heard Hong Tianxiao's words hit his sore spot, he almost cried again. He hastily bowed deeply to Hong Tianxiao, and said with a sad face: "Third brother, what you said is exactly right. Now, second brother, I am in great trouble. You You must save me, if you don't think of a way for me, I...I have no choice but to apologize myself."

Hong Tianxiao deliberately said: "Second brother is too worried. The younger brother will tell the emperor about this matter tomorrow. The second brother and the emperor are brothers no matter what. The prince’s salary for a few months, or is it just a reprimand from the clan’s mansion?”

Prince Kang shook his head, sighed again, and said, "As long as I can save my life, I'm really grateful that I, the prince, Wang Jue, will be demoted to a commoner. Ha, because of losing the Sutra, he was thrown into the sky prison yesterday, and I heard that he was tortured, the emperor sent people to interrogate him, where did the scripture go?" As he spoke, the muscles on his face trembled, obviously I thought of the cruelty of being in the prison and being tortured.

Hong Tianxiao said: "Second Brother, do you mean that you want my younger brother to steal the "42 Chapters" from the emperor's study room when he is on duty at night? Handing in the scriptures, but the incident happened in the study room, with the emperor's wise and decisive, how can he not find out that you are the one who is doing the tricks? Banner owner, the scriptures should be crimson, and the emperor's study room will definitely not have scriptures that are red flags, isn't this full of loopholes?"

Prince Kang hurriedly said: "No, yes, no, alas, the third brother is only half right. The second brother wants to invite the third brother to the queen mother or the emperor to steal a scripture. I have already ordered dozens of A master craftsman, wait here, we
They started working overnight to make a copy, so as to tide over this difficulty. "

Hong Tianxiao sneered in his heart, how could he not know that it is absolutely impossible to imitate a scripture in a hurry, and it must be flawless. Let Hong Tianxiao put it back to the original place, and submit the real scriptures to the emperor.In Prince Kang's imagination, it would be extremely difficult for Hong Tianxiao to tell the truth from the fake. It would be a blessing if he could not be discovered in the future, and even if he was discovered, it would not be a problem to him.

After all, Hong Tianxiao still needs to use Prince Kang in many places in the future, so he will not reveal the matter, and Hong Tianxiao has several scriptures in his hand. Now that the broken sheepskin map has been taken out, the scriptures have become useless. Looking for a copy to give to Prince Kang Shi Teng, so as to get such a great favor, Hong Tianxiao immediately patted his chest and said: "Second brother, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by the younger brother, and the scriptures will be sent to the second brother tonight." House."

Prince Kang knew that Hong Tianxiao was strong in martial arts, since he agreed to steal, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to find out, let alone be unsuccessful, he couldn't help but said happily: "If the third brother really steals the scriptures, it can be regarded as saving the second brother's life. After this incident, I will be rewarded dearly, Second Brother."

Hong Tianxiao waved his hand and said: "Second brother is in trouble, if the brother doesn't help, what is the feeling of being married in Taoyuan? If the second brother talks about some kind of rewards, he doesn't take the younger brother seriously."

At this time, the two had already arrived at the gate of Prince Kang's mansion, but they saw two eunuchs trot over after seeing them, and one of them panted and said, "Liu...Director Liu, Your Majesty... Your Majesty ordered you to catch up immediately!" Go... to Suo Mansion, Suo Shoufu...he seems to be dying."

Prince Kang had a ghost in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Why is your father-in-law waiting for Manager Liu here?"

The other eunuch replied: "Back to the lord, we first went to Mr. Liu's mansion. The butler said that Mr. Liu had not returned after entering the palace, so we ran back to the palace. Fortunately, a guard told us that the lord invited Mr. Liu. , but we went to the prince's mansion to ask, and only then did we know that the prince has not come back, so we waited here, presumably the emperor is already waiting impatiently at this time, Mr. Liu, go quickly."

Hong Tianxiao didn't listen to the conversation between Prince Kang and the eunuch, he just thought about why Sonny was critically ill again, since it was only half a year since the last consultation for Sonny, how could he be critically ill again? Could it be that something happened in it? Moreover, after he came back, Kangxi didn't tell him to see a doctor for Sony. It's really strange that he insisted on waiting for Sony to die before letting him go there.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Hong Tianxiao didn't dare to delay. He took out the badge of the head of the imperial guards from his pocket and said to Prince Kang: "My lord, I'm sorry to trouble you to send one of your subordinates to come here with the badge of the lower official. Go to Xiaguan's mansion, ask the steward for Xiaguan's medicine box and send it to Suofu."

After finishing speaking, Hong Tianxiao put the waist card into Prince Kang's hands, and started his lightness kung fu, and went to Suofu. Of course, the lightness kung fu Hong Tianxiao used at this time was not supernatural.

When they arrived at Sony's residence, the housekeeper had already made arrangements with Suo'etu. After seeing Hong Tianxiao, he hurriedly prepared to lead him to Sony's bedroom.Hong Tianxiao came here last time, knowing the preciousness of time, he started light work, flew over the butler's head, and went straight to Sony's bedroom, the butler was surprised.

When we arrived at the door of Sony's bedroom, apart from Sony who was lying on his back and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, there were only Kangxi sitting on the stool, Suo'etu standing aside, and Imperial Physician Hu sitting beside the bed giving Sony his pulse. The rest of Sony's concubines and maids were all standing outside the door waiting, but no one dared to speak.
