Chapter 4 Shooting the Abbot

"Why should we transfer the Black Diao Army to the command of Fu Yanqing, the governor of Tianxiong?" Hou Dayong repeatedly considered the intention to transfer troops. "Your Majesty Guo Wei has been paralyzed in bed for a long time and may die at any time. The transfer of the Black Diao Army to Fu Yanqing's command should be to enhance Fu Yanqing's strength. It seems that Chai Rong must prepare both ways to become emperor."

I heard that the entire Black Eagle Army was about to go to Daming Mansion, Chunlan and Qiuju were extremely reluctant to let it go. They also knew that Hou Dayong had no reason to do so, so they had to prepare for Hou Dayong's expedition at home.

Qiuju's injuries have basically healed after recuperation. On the night before going to the battle, he arranged some dishes such as Hou Dayong's favorite golden stew, farewell mystery, wild quail cup, etc., and personally made a dish of Hou Dayong's favorite autumn wind eel.

Trefoils (xing) refer to dried fish. "Eels" appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the eels were cut open, removed internal organs, removed bones, and kneaded Shanghai salt to make it into a collectible "salted eel". Later, it became more and more refined. In addition to salt, it also added spices, green onions, ginger and wine, especially when the autumn wind blew, which was the most flavorful. The autumn chrysanthemum sliced ​​the eels, added rice wine and ginger onions, and steamed them thoroughly, and then made into a fragrant autumn wind eel. However, in addition to the ingredients, there were many tears on the eels.

Chunlan, Qiuju and Hou Dayong sat around the dining table. The two women had no appetite at this time, so they watched Hou Dayong eat alone. Seeing that the two women were not interested, Hou Dayong tried to recall the jokes he had heard before, "Once, the guests gathered together to chat and laugh, and suddenly someone farted. His face immediately turned red with shame and felt very embarrassed. In order to cover up the fart, he deliberately shook the bamboo chair he was sitting on. At this time, a guest in the seat joked: "This fart is not as loud as the one just now."

After saying that, Hou Dayong was waiting for the two girls to laugh. Chunlan lowered her head and didn't say anything. Qiu Ju grinned and wanted to laugh, but she didn't expect tears to flow down her cheeks. Seeing that the two girls were like this, Hou Dayong thought that she would go through many cruel battles. She didn't know if she could come back, and how long it would take to come back, so she couldn't help feeling sad.

The two girls knew that Hou Dayong liked to take a bath, and after eating this tasteless meal, they boiled the water early. Hou Dayong entered the bathhouse. On weekdays, Chunlan was in the bathhouse, but today it was Qiu Ju. There was a fire channel under the house, and the room was very warm. Qiu Ju came over and helped Hou Dayong loose clothes. Hou Dayong hugged Qiu Ju, bent his head, and put his face on Qiu Ju's face. Qiu Ju gently bit Qiu Ju's earlobe with his teeth. Qiu Ju hugged Hou Dayong tightly, afraid that Hou Dayong would disappear if he let go. Hou Dayong slowly took off Qiu Ju's clothes, Qiu Ju's breasts were not big but very firm. Hou Dayong put Qiu Ju into the wooden barrel, took off the Qiu Ju's hairpin, and let his long hair scatter. Afterwards, Hou Dayong also entered the wooden barrel. Qiu Ju leaned against Hou Dayong's chest. Hou Dayong hugged Qiu Ju and gently stroked Qiu Ju's delicate skin. Qiu Ju grabbed the edge of the wooden barrel with his hands, and the two were tightly pressed together.

After the matter was finished, Qiu Ju hugged Hou Dayong and said, "I don't want Ah Lang to leave." Hou Dayong whispered a lyric, but stole the last few sentences of Su Dongpo's water tune: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has eyes and eyes. This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times. I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon together thousands of miles away." As soon as this sentence came out, Qiu Ju burst into tears like a spring, and she kept reciting this sentence, and she was a little confused.

The Black Eagle Army lost nearly 100 troops in this battle for Cangzhou. With Li Hui's consent, they added troops in Cangzhou. The Black Eagle Army posted a notice of recruitment, and the people who signed up were quite thriving. It was originally planned to recruit 200 people, and 500 people signed up. Hou Dayong finally selected 300 people and built a new regiment called "Jackal Camp". Since He Wulang recovered from his injuries, he also arrived in the Black Eagle Army. Hou Dayong knew that he was very skilled in martial arts, so he asked him to be the commander of the team and led 50 people.

When the Black Diao Army set off, the people of Cangzhou were dispatched to see the Black Diao Army off. The Black Diao Army did not last long in Cangzhou, but in the Battle of Cangzhou, the soldiers and civilians in Cangzhou saw the heroic posture of the Black Diao Army, and the momentum of taking the heads of the general among the thousands of troops was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Cangzhou. On the other hand, the Black Diao Army was treated with high treatment and strict military discipline, and basically did not disturb the people, which was also recognized by the people of Cangzhou.

Guo Xingjian handed over the two people to Hou Dayong. One was Guo Jiong. After Guo Jiong's wife passed away, she had long wanted to go out and take the opportunity to get rid of her longing for her deceased wife. In addition, during the Battle of Cangzhou, when he saw the Black Eagle Army galloping on the battlefield, he was very powerful, so he made up his mind to join the army and wanted to make some fame on the battlefield. Seeing that Guo Jiong's attitude was firm, Guo Xingjian agreed. Hou Dayong organized Guo Jiong into the jackal camp and was also the leader of the team;

The other one is Fu Ying, who is Fu Yanqing's daughter, and she can just go back with the Black Diao Army and follow the Black Diao Army to avoid any mistakes on the way. Only then did Hou Dayong realize that the beautiful woman was actually the sister of Mrs. Weiguo.

After saying goodbye to the person who saw him off, the Black Eagle Army headed southwest. The march route was from Cangzhou, through Dezhou, Beizhou, and finally to Daming Prefecture. Hou Dayong considered that the army had not conducted training since its establishment, and the Jackal Camp was a new army, so he formulated a plan to treat the marching as a training. After getting on the road, the Black Eagle Army completed various tactical actions, running, fighting, eating, living, hiding, managing, and protecting a series of comprehensive drills such as "fighting," Fu Ying took his maids and entourage to follow the troops. Hou Dayong saw that Fu Ying was clean and neatly praised. Fu Ying saw that Hou Dayong turned the marching into a drill. The Black Eagle Army had 1,400 people changed their formation along the way, with orderly commands, advancing and retreating as one, with strong soldiers and well-equipped equipment, and was also amazed in his heart.

Soon, the troops marched near Dezhou and it was snowing heavily in the sky. Seeing that the snow was heavy, the soldiers were a little tired, they found a shelter and camped on the spot. Seeing that Fu Ying was working very hard all the way, Hou Dayong asked the school to send some good mutton to Fu Ying and his party.

Hou Dayong braved the wind and snow, and took several military academys to check the camping situation. Suddenly, a soldier said, "Look, there are two people." Hou Dayong saw two people lying down beside the trail, with snow piled up on his body. Hou Dayong looked at his nose and looked at his pulse, knowing that the two were not dead, but they were frozen. Hou Dayong asked the school to carry the two into the camp tent. When he saw that one of them was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, he took the little girl to Fu Ying's tent.

"If you have something to ask for your opinion," Hou Dayong said to the maid at Fu Ying's account.

Fu Ying was in the account and heard Hou Dayong's voice. Along the way, Hou Dayong took good care of Fu Ying, but Hou Dayong had never been to Fu Ying's tent and did not say much. He would pass on the small school to send messages through the small school. Seeing Hou Dayong coming in person, he must have had an urgent matter, so he hurried to the account.

"I found two people on the side of the road, and they were frozen. One of them was inconvenient to me. Can you bring them here?"

“Bring it quickly.”

Hou Dayong brought the little girl into Fu Ying's tent, and then the school brought a bowl of ginger soup.

After Hou Dayong and others left, Fu Ying saw that the woman's clothes were wet, so she took off her clothes and put the woman on the bed to cover it. After feeding ginger soup, the girl woke up leisurely.

Fu Ying asked, "Why are you outside when you are snowing? If you don't meet us, you will be dead."

The little girl's eyes turned red and she revealed the whole story. It turned out that the man and the woman were brothers and sisters, from Texas. The brother was named Meng Shu, the sister was Meng Zhen, Meng Shu and a sister named Meng Qing, who was seventeen years old. The father of the Meng family died early, and the three brothers and sisters lived on the poor birth left by their ancestors. Although life was hard, they could live a good life. Today, the three brothers and sisters went to Wanshou Temple to burn incense, but they didn't want to cause a disaster.

The incense of Wanshou Temple is very popular, and the temple produces a lot of temple fields. Now the abbot of the temple is from a large tribe in Dezhou. In his early years, he fought with people and killed people, but he had no choice but to join Wanshou Temple and relied on the clan's forces to become the abbot. Although the abbot was a monk, he was a flower monk and was the most lustful. The temple often received women of all kinds of colors for the abbot to enjoy the abbot. When the three brothers and sisters of the Meng family came to the temple to burn incense, the abbot became lustful and used the excuse to call Meng Qing to the backyard and hide it in the secret room. Meng Shu and Meng Zhenjiu waited for Meng Qing not to leave, so they went to the backyard to find someone. The abbot said that the two of them despise the Buddha and drove them out of Wanshou Temple.

The two had no choice but to think of going to Dezhou Prefecture to sue the official position. When it was halfway, it started to snow heavily. They were hungry, tired and angry. They went to a tree to take shelter from the snow. They didn't expect that the weather was cold and they were frozen. If they didn't meet the Black Eagle Army, their lives would be lost. Hou Dayong woke Meng Shu up. After hearing what happened, he was thinking about his plan. Fu Ying got in the account.

"Mr. Hou Du Commander, I want to borrow a battalion of troops and horses to save people from Wanshou Temple."

"What if the person is not in the temple?"

"There is a scandal in the temple, and the Buddha will not allow it. The commander of the Hou Du is so timid and afraid of things. I will only take responsibility for this matter."

"Fu Niang is not afraid, so why am I afraid? According to Meng Shu, Wanshou Temple is in a dense forest, and there are no other families. After the abbot robbed the young woman Meng Qing, he should have hid in the backyard. We surrounded the temple and did not leave anyone to enter the dense forest."

Hou Dayong ordered the soldiers and horses of the Jackal Camp and headed straight for Wanshou Temple. Fu Ying was wearing soft armor, wearing a bow and a knife, and followed the team. Hou Dayong couldn't stop it, so he had to let her go. When he arrived at the temple, Guo Jiong led the team to guard the back door and around the temple. Hou Dayong rushed into the temple with a group of soldiers like wolves and tigers.

At this time, the snow was falling tightly, and there was no one in the temple except monks. When the abbot learned that the soldiers entered the temple, he hurried out to ask what happened. Most of the abbots knew each other and the generals of the Dezhou Army. They came out and saw that they were not aware of the officers, so they said to Hou Dayong: "It's snowing heavily today. The general asked the temple to take shelter from the snow. I don't know where the troops came from."

Fu Ying reprimanded, "Take Meng Qing over and spare you." The abbot looked at Fu Ying with his tiny eyes and said, "Amitabha, what the female donor said, the little monk doesn't understand." Hou Dayong didn't want to talk to him, and ordered, "He Wulang went to the backyard to search." The abbot said to Hou Dayong, "The uncle of the little monk is Fu Yanqing, the governor of Tianxiong. Don't do anything here to disturb the Buddhist practice." The abbot's uncle was originally a general under Fu Yanqing's command. If he wanted to scare Hou Dayong, he pretended to be Fu Yanqing.

When Hou Dayong looked at Fu Ying, Fu Ying shook her head. He Wulang came back soon and shook his head. With the experience of the Cangzhou Secret Room, Hou Dayong immediately said: "There must be a secret room here. Go to the head of the bed and look carefully in the corner of the wall."

The abbot's expression changed when he heard this.

After a while, a shout came from the backyard: "Finally found, found." The abbot turned around and walked towards the backyard. A small school stopped him. The abbot suddenly snatched the small school's waist knife and ran towards the backyard. The small schools hurried forward, but the abbot's swordsmanship was skillful, so the small schools couldn't hold him for a while.

An iron arrow broke through the air and hit the abbot's back. The abbot was caught in an arrow. When his swordsman was slow, he was chopped to the ground by the schoolmen. This arrow was fired by Fu Ying. After sending this arrow, Fu Ying calmly put away the bow and arrow. This time it was Hou Dayong's turn to be stunned.
