Chapter 145: Secret, cut off

"What? Obai has two copies in his hand? Is Suksaha already beaten down by Obai?" Ling Muyun suddenly interrupted Mao Dongzhu and asked.

"How did the head envoy know? Yes, just half a month ago, Suksaha had been scouted by Oboi's house."

Ling Muyun did not answer Mao Dongzhu, but continued to ask: "Did the little emperor Kangxi learn kung fu from you recently? Do you often get along with a eunuch named Xiao Guizi? Do you often practice fighting methods such as wrestling? Have you trained other eunuchs?"

Mao Dongzhu became more and more shocked. Didn’t Ling Muyun just come back from Shenlong Island? Why do you know everything? Suksaha is okay. Perhaps the sect has arranged other forces to find the traces of the Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra and tracked down Suksaha. After all, Suksaha is one of the four major ministers appointed by Emperor Shunzhi. He is the head of the Qing Dynasty Zhengbai Banner. He has a high position and is powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was beaten by Oboi that the entire Beijing city was alarmed. It is not surprising that Ling Muyun was able to learn the news.

But how did he know the matter in the palace so clearly? It is even more informative than the news about the empress dowager in the palace. It is important to know that Kangxi recently mingled with a eunuch named Xiao Guizi and chose some eunuchs to practice wrestling. She just heard from Ruidong that even Liu Yan and Deng Bingchun didn't know, how did Ling Muyun know? Could it be that her new immediate boss had another secret thread in the palace?

Thinking of this, Mao Dongzhu suddenly felt a sudden stern and did not dare to continue thinking about it. He hurriedly replied: "The head envoy Ming knew that the little emperor was indeed particularly interested in martial arts and wrestling recently, and often came to ask his subordinates for advice. His subordinates did not dare to disclose their martial arts skills, but only found some martial arts that were widely circulated in the world to deal with him. He has indeed often practiced wrestling with a group of eunuchs, and the most favored one was the little Guizi."

"You should pay more attention to that little Guizi in the future."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order." Mao Dongzhu nodded, then looked at Ling Muyun with a confused look on his face, and seemed to be very surprised why Ling Muyun suddenly asked her to pay attention to such an insignificant eunuch.

Ling Muyun glanced at Mao Dongzhu and said, "Do you think it's a bit strange why I suddenly made you pay attention to such an inconspicuous eunuch?"

"Forgive my subordinates to be stupid and fail to understand the true intention of the head envoy."

"I tell you, I asked you to pay attention to him because the person behind him has already set his sights on you. If you don't want to leave the task in this palace before it is completed, you'd better be alert to me."

Mao Dongzhu was shocked and asked quickly: "Please forgive me for being stupid. I don't know that the person behind Xiao Guizi who was the leader mentioned..."

"I ask you, do you know which father-in-law in the palace this little Guizi belongs to?"

"It seems... it seems to be the subordinate of Shang Shang Shang Supervisor Hai Dafu." At this point, Mao Dongzhu suddenly realized: "What the head envoy is talking about Hai Dafu? This old slave dared to put his ideas on this palace. It seems that he really doesn't want to live anymore!"

Seeing a little mention of Mao Dongzhu, he could immediately think of Hai Dafu. Ling Muyun nodded in his heart and said, "It seems that you still have a little understanding of this Hai Dafu?"

"I reported to the head of the sect, this Hai Dafu was originally the confidant of Emperor Shunzhi. He was one of the two masters among the eunuchs in the palace back then. After his subordinates were ordered to enter the palace, he had heard of his name. However, since Emperor Shunzhi abandoned his throne and became a monk because of the charming son of Dong E Concubine, this Hai Dafu disappeared."

"Later, I heard by chance that he went to Shangshen Supervisor for retirement. It seemed that he was in a serious illness that was difficult to cure because of practicing martial arts. Therefore, his subordinates were negligent and did not take him to heart. If it weren't for the head of the sect reminders in time, he would be afraid that he would be really ruined by this old eunuch slave, and then he would not have to redeem him for a hundred deaths."

"One of the two masters?" Ling Muyun was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Who is there another person? Is there any master among the eunuchs in the palace who can compete with Hai Dafu?"

"The head envoy didn't know that because Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, was powerful in the court and the country, even the imperial guards in the palace were mostly his followers. The old lady Xiaozhuang, who was also the empress dowager, specially found a way to recruit a group of martial arts masters who were loyal to the royal family to enter the palace. It was called serving, but in fact it was to protect the safety of her and her son Shunzhi. Two of them had the most powerful martial arts skills, one was the old eunuch Wulanfeng, who was next to the old lady Xiaozhuang, and the other was the rich man around Shunzhi."

Ling Muyun was slightly moved, but this was something he didn't know. After all, although he had read the original work and had some understanding of the things in the world of Deer Cauldron, after all, what was recorded in the original work was only a small part of the development context of the world of Deer Cauldron. Being able to judge the general trend of the world by this is not enough to measure everything in the world. This also made him feel alert. Being familiar with the plot is indeed an advantage, but this advantage is not enough to make him live in the world of Deer Cauldron and be safe and worry-free.

Thinking of this, Ling Muyun asked Mao Dongzhu: "How many old eunuchs with high martial arts skills are left? Will it pose a threat to your actions in the palace?"

"Thank you for your concern, but it's nothing, because the Qing Dynasty started in the barbaric land outside the pass, between the white mountains and black waters. Therefore, although there are many masters among them, most of them practice external kung fu and do not know how to breathe internal energy to regulate the body and mind. Most of the martial arts masters who entered the palace to serve are like this. So after so many years, most of the old eunuchs have died, and the few who are still alive are old and weak and useless. The only ones who threaten them are left are Ulanfeng and Hai Dafu, two masters who practice internal kung fu."

"Wulanfeng is still staying with the old lady in Xiaozhuang?"

"Yes, over the years, because the old woman in Xiaozhuang was pressing on her subordinates' heads, it was not very convenient for her subordinates to act in the palace. Therefore, her subordinates had not been unwilling to get rid of the old woman in Xiaozhuang. It was just because of the existence of Wulanfeng that she had never dared to take action."

Ling Muyun couldn't help frowning. This was indeed a problem. In theory, Mao Dongzhu, the empress dowager, was already noble enough, but the empress dowager like Xiaozhuang, was pressed on her head, and Xiaozhuang was in charge of the harem. The role that Mao Dongzhu could play was relatively limited, and at least it was difficult to meet Ling Muyun's expectations.

But the problem is that as far as Ling Muyun knows, the old woman in Xiaozhuang seems to be quite long-lived. She can't remember when she died, but it must have been after the Three Feudals were destroyed. If it were at that time, the Qing Dynasty's throne had basically been firmly settled, and the little emperor Kangxi had matured. Even if Mao Dongzhu took charge of the power of the harem, the role she could play was limited.

Although Ling Muyun was not very important, his goal to come to the Deer Cauldron World was just the treasure of the dragon vein hidden in the Qing Dynasty. He had the advantage of knowing the plot, and it was not too difficult to get the treasure of the eight chapters of the 42 chapters. After the treasure was obtained, whether Mao Dongzhu could continue to lurk within the Qing court and play a major role had little to do with him. But as a man, who would not want to use the country as a game when he had the opportunity, and the heroes in the world as their sons to play a game?

"Can you tell me in detail how high the martial arts of Ulanfeng is? If it were placed in the Divine Sect, what level would it be?"

A look of surprise flashed in Mao Dongzhu's eyes. Ling Muyun suddenly asked what he did, but he still answered honestly: "Report to the head of the sect, I only saw Wulanfeng taking action once by chance. I just felt that it was unfathomable. If it were placed in our God Sect, it would be far inferior to the leader and his wife, but I guess it should not be inferior to the five heads of the sect."

"Is that so? Well, if you have the chance, I will help you kill this Ulanfeng. Then you will find a way to become the old woman in Xiaozhuang and completely control the harem. You must know that the God Cult sent you into the palace not only to find the forty-two chapters of the sutra, but there will be more things to do in the future. Don't let the God Cult live up to your expectations."

"Yes, my subordinates remember the teachings of the head envoy."

Mao Dongzhu bowed and his heart was filled with surprise. It was human nature to be greedy for wealth and honor, and Mao Dongzhu was no exception. After lurking in the palace for so many years, Mao Dongzhu had long been accustomed to the luxurious and luxurious life in the palace. If she was asked to return to the Shenlong Sect to live the relatively hard life she used to, she would be reluctant.

Ling Muyun asked her to lurk in the palace all the time. This request can be said to be exactly what she wants. And if Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang can really get rid of her, she can become the real lord of the harem. How honor and majesty would it be? Even if she is still inevitably controlled by the sect, her status in the eyes of the sect leader will be very different. It is probably easier to seek antidotes, so she will not be as worried as she is now.

Ling Muyun said again: "By the way, I have another question to ask you."

"Even if the head of the sect asks, anyone who knows it will know everything."

"Let me ask you, how did you deal with that true empress dowager? But is it still there?"

"The head of the sect, his subordinates were ordered to collect forty-two chapters of scriptures and pretend to be the empress dowager. Because the empress dowager knew the secret hidden in the forty-two chapters of scriptures, his subordinates wanted to pry out the details of the secret from her, but her mouth was too tight and she didn't say it without her subordinates asking questions. Therefore, his subordinates kept secretly detaining her."
