Chapter 278: White Lotus Remnant

Xu Jin thought that this Zhao Quan had two brushes, but the other party actually took out a red pill and said that it would cure all diseases, and suddenly felt that 10,000 grass and mud horses were whistling over his head, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your kindness, but Jing Jing's body is weak, so he can't take medicine indiscriminately." ”

is the so-called rush to the doctor, if it is someone else, in this case, there is a chance that Zhao Quan's fool, but unfortunately Xu Jin is a traverser, so he doesn't believe in this evil, the elixir that cures all diseases? It's really a big joke in the world, just like the "red hair medicinal wine" that made a lot of noise some time ago, it is simply an insult to the IQ of consumers.

Zhao Quan was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Xu Jin to refuse so simply, but this person's qi cultivation skills are excellent, and his expression quickly returned to nature, and he smiled: "Oh, that's presumptuous." After speaking, he put away the pill and retreated.

The thin man whose name is Qiu Fu scolded in dialect, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, and the master's elixir can't be asked for by others. Of course, Xu Jin didn't understand this sentence, he stopped Zhao Dao, who was retreating: "Brother Zhao, slow down!" ”

Zhao Quan stopped and said quietly: "Brother Xu, what advice do you have?" ”

Xu Jin said politely: "I heard Brother Zhao say that it was a dart line just now, I don't know if I can protect the dart?" ”

Zhao Quan suddenly showed a bright smile and said, "Naturally, it is guaranteed." ”

Xu Jin asked, "Then I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to escort us to Baoding Mansion City?" We will not be diluted in terms of remuneration. ”

The thin man Qiu Fu and Sun Cai's eyes flashed with imperceptible contempt. Zhao Quan smiled: "Of course there is no problem, it just so happens that we are also planning to go to Baoding Mansion City, just by the way, just pay or something." ”

When Zhao Quan said this, he suddenly changed his words and continued: "Of course, if Xu Gongzi insists on giving it to the next country, he will not object, and there are still forty miles to Baoding Mansion City, so he will accept Xu Gongzi four taels of silver." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Then let's decide!" ”

Dabao couldn't help muttering: "Ten miles to collect a tael of silver, this business is too profitable." ”

Zhao Quan said with a straight expression: "This brother, you can't say that, you just got married to the thieves, and we have to take a lot of risks along the way." ”

Dabao was speechless when he heard this, Xu Jin didn't care, four taels of silver was nothing to his current family background. However, the reason why Xu Jin asked Zhao Quan and others to escort him was that he was worried that those thieves would come back to provoke just now, and secondly, he was suspicious of the identity of Zhao Quan and others, and he was tempted. Since the other party has the courage to agree to escort to Fucheng, it should indeed be a regular dart business, you must know that ordinary people cannot leave their homes for hundreds of miles without a road guide.

……

The heavy snowstorm raged until the evening, but the temperature was lower, and Xie Xiaowan's condition was significantly worse, the whole person was groggy, and she still said a few words from time to time.

Xu Jin was so worried that he didn't sleep all night, and he didn't squint for a while until before dawn.

Early the next morning, the sun rose in the east, it was a rare sunny day, Xu Jin and others hurriedly ate some dry food to satisfy their hunger, and then set off to Baoding Fucheng.

After the snow is sunny, the official road is muddy and slippery, its difficulty can be imagined, the distance of more than 40 miles, with the speed of the carriage can definitely be completed in two hours, but Xu Jin and others did not arrive at the south gate of Baoding City until noon.

When everyone entered Baoding City, Zhao Quan arched his hand and said: "Young Master Xu, let's escort it here, we still have to say goodbye in advance." ”

Xu Jin hurriedly thanked him, asked Dabao to take four taels of silver for Zhao Xing, and then hurriedly ran to the hospital to see Xie Xiaowan.

The thin man Qiu Fu looked at the two luxury carriages that went away, threw away the four taels of silver in his hand, and said with a smile: "This kid is a rich master, Brother Quan, do you plan to develop him into the sect?" ”

Zhao Quan shook his head and said lightly: "This is an assertive person, not a person all the way, let's go!" ”

It is said that Zhao Quan and others are all disciples of the White Lotus Sect, and their master Lu Mingzhen is the head of the White Lotus Sect in the Yanbei region. Speaking of the White Lotus Sect, everyone must be familiar with it, and several famous turmoil in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties are related to the White Lotus Sect. For example, the Red Turban Army uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was initiated by the White Lotus Sect, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, also overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty with the help of the White Lotus Sect. Another example is the Sichuan-Chu White Lotus Uprising during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, which lasted nine years and affected several provinces of Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei and Hubei, costing hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the Qing court, equivalent to five years of government revenue, which directly turned the Qing Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

The organization of the White Lotus Sect originated in the Song Dynasty, and its founder was called Mao Ziyuan. In the early days, the White Lotus Cult was just a loose organization that taught people to do good, but later it gradually grew and was used by those with good intentions, thus becoming a tool for careerists to launch rebellions. After a long period of evolution, the organization and doctrine of the White Lotus Sect have changed, and there are many sects within the sect, each with its own doctrine and deity.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang started by relying on the White Lotus Sect, so he knew the harm of this ancestral weaving to the rule, so after he established the country, he characterized the White Lotus Sect as a cult, ordered it to be banned and extinguished. But the vitality of the White Lotus Sect is extremely tenacious, it is the wildfire that cannot be burned, the spring breeze blows and grows, killing one stubble and growing another.

Due to the bloody suppression of the Ming court, the White Lotus Sect was extremely hostile to the Ming court, and from time to time ran out of a group to make trouble, if the world was better than Shengping, once the country was in turmoil, the White Lotus Sect, which thought that there was an opportunity, would immediately jump out and jump, adding fuel to the fire, eager to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

But when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing soldiers, the White Lotus Sect erected the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty to continue to rebel, the meaning of the existence of this organization seems to be to rebel, whoever is the ruler it is opposed, it seems to be quite contradictory, but in fact, it is not the people's hearts, some people want to sit on the country.

Zhao Quan's master, Lu Mingzhen, was obviously one of the careerists who wanted to sit in the country, and in recent years he was quite active in the Yanbei area, secretly developing a large number of followers, and even many soldiers in the border army have joined the religion. This time, Zhao Quan came to Hebei from Shanxi in the name of darts, but the real mission was to preach.

Zhao Quan did intend to develop Xu Jin into the sect before, because such a move is a rare potential stock, and if he enters the center of the imperial court in high school in the future, it can play a great role. However, Xu Jin decisively rejected the elixir, and Zhao Quan immediately realized that this young man was actually a sober-minded and assertive master, and he was not easy to fool. Zhao Quan felt unsure, so he gave up decisively, so as not to expose it and cause a commotion!

Besides, Zhao Quan and others seemed to turn around aimlessly in Baoding City, and finally came to an inconspicuous alley in the west of the city.

A moment later, a deep voice came from inside: "Who?" ”

Zhao Quan said lightly: "Someone from the vacuum hometown has come." ”

The courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes was revealed, and it was Li Tiantian, one of the two divine sticks in King Ning's mansion, but he was not wearing a Taoist robe at this time, and he looked very depressed.

It is no wonder that King Ning's rebellion failed at the beginning of this year, and if Li naturally hadn't escaped quickly when he saw the opportunity, he would have been caught by the officers and soldiers, and he was locked up in a prison in Nanjing with King Ning at the moment.

The thin man Qiu Fu looked Li Tiantian up and down, and teased: "Uncle Li, why did you get mixed up like this?" ”

A flash of anger flashed in Li Nature's eyes, and he said coldly: "Little bastard, don't talk nonsense, get in and talk." ”

Zhao Quan and the others entered the courtyard and closed the door and chatted secretly!

It is said that this Li Tiantian's original name was Li Zixin, who was the younger brother of Zhao Quan and others' master Lu Mingzhen, but he didn't deal with Lu Mingzhen very well.

Li Zixin's alias Li naturally lurked in King Ning's mansion, saying that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, had the appearance of an emperor, and he was tempted to rebel, intending to profit from it, but who knew that King Ning was not angry, and the rebellion was captured by Wang Shouren after only a few dozen days.

Now Li Zixin is being wanted by the government and the whole country, and he is desperate, so he plans to go back to Shanxi to take refuge in his senior brother Lu Mingzhen.
