Chapter 18: Meng Yan's thoughts
Meng Yan was stunned when he saw Gao Xianda's appearance.
Needless to say, Gao Xianda sent them out, he was not a problem even if he stayed in the palace and pretended to be Ruidong. So his eyes turned and changed his action plan.
"Brother Mao, seeing your current appearance, I hope you can stay in the palace." Meng Yan said.
"What are you doing when you stay?" Gao Xianda said in confusion, "Do you still think I'm not having enough trouble?"
"No, no, no," Meng Yan said, "I don't know what your pursuits in life are. Wealth, reputation, or power?"
Gao Xianda looked at him and didn't say anything. For a person in the martial arts world, these three pursuits seemed to be a little farther away, but for Gao Xianda, his true pursuits could not be said to Meng Yan.
"Rui Dong is now the deputy general manager of the imperial guards. He has a third-rank position and is close to the emperor. He has already had both wealth and official positions." Meng Yan said, "and if you can assassinate the emperor, you will definitely become famous all over the world and become a hero of a generation."
"Do you want me to stay and assassinate the emperor?" Gao Xianda asked.
"No, the Tartar Emperor is just a child, so he is not in a hurry to assassinate him. He is young now and his power is in the hands of the minister Aobai." Meng Yan said, "Obai cruelly killed a large number of Han people, and was the world's largest treacherous minister. If the little emperor was killed, Obai would take the opportunity to usurp power and ascend the throne, the lives of the people would be even more difficult."
"You want me to kill Oboi." Gao Xianda replied, "Don't worry, Oboi is a traitor and evil person. I have killed many good men in the Central Plains. I will definitely seek justice from him!"
"Yes, but not exactly." Meng Yan said, "Killing Obai is only one of the things we have to do. The purpose of the Tiandihui is to overthrow the rule of the Tartars. Unfortunately, our strength is low now. Whether it is killing Obai or the little emperor, it is not enough for us to overthrow them. At that time, it may be cheaper for the big traitor Wu Sangui."
Wu Sangui is King Pingxi, and he represents another camp force. The people of the Tiandihui naturally do not want their fisherman to benefit.
Gao Xianda also agreed with this.
"There is a set of secret treasures called the Forty-Two Chapters, which are hidden in this palace. There are eight copies of the Forty-Two Chapters, which contain a big secret, which is related to the great cause of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty." Meng Yan said, "I hope you can get them all together."
Hearing this, Gao Xianda was a little moved.
In this palace, risks come with benefits. Although there is a risk of being discovered, it is always better to use Ruidong's identity than Mao Shiba. Moreover, the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra" mentioned by Meng Yan sounds like a good thing, and there is probably a big secret hidden behind it.
Seeing that Gao Xianda was a little relieved, Meng Yan also explained the righteousness to Gao Xianda, and said some high-sounding brainwashing words. If Mao Shiba was the original, he would naturally be full of passion and sacrifice his life to do it.
However, Gao Xianda had no concept of anti-Qing and restoring Ming, so he didn't have any feelings. All he cared about was whether interests could cover risks.
But he just said that his martial arts skills were low and not smart enough, so he might not be able to compete with them.
Meng Yan added: "Brother Mao, you don't have to worry about these issues. You are just our support in this palace. Of course, you cannot rely on the power of one person to obtain the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra". Our Tiandihui will naturally do our best. But if you can get one or two books, it will be a great achievement for our Tiandihui! It is said that our leader Chen Jinnan has also gone to Beijing to discuss this matter in the near future."
Gao Xianda had heard him say before that Chen Jinnan was the leader of the Tiandihui Society. He was chivalrous, intelligent, and had great martial arts skills. He was one of the best heroes in the world. In the world, there was a saying that "If you don't see Chen Jinnan in your life, you will be called a hero in vain."
Gao Xianda always has to join a camp. If he can obtain a "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra" within these two days, he can join the camp of the Tiandihui in a higher situation.
If you are lucky enough to learn a move from Chen Jinnan, this copy would not be a loss. It would always be better than learning the martial arts of an old eunuch and avenge him.
Gao Xianda had to say, "Okay, I'll try my best. Once there is any mistake, I'll leave immediately."
"Of course!" Meng Yan said.
When Meng Yan saw Gao Xianda agreeing, he was in a very good mood. Finally, he instructed Gao Xianda to be careful of the Queen Mother. She is pretending to be a witch from Snake Island, a martial arts master, and her strength is not inferior to that of Yu Hai Dafu, and she knows a unique technique called the Bone-Crafting Mian Palm. She must also be collecting the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra", and be careful and careful.
Gao Xianda repeatedly claimed that he was.
Since Gao Xianda decided to stay, Wei Xiaobao couldn't leave. He couldn't go back to Yangzhou alone.
It is not unreasonable for Meng Yan to claim to be as good as Zhuge. He re-analyzed the situation in front of him and soon formulated a plan of action.
Wei Xiaobao and Xiao Guizi had similar stature, so they simply pretended to be the new eunuch from Shangshenjian. Anyway, Hai Dafu was dead, so there was no evidence of death. Hai Dafu still had a lot of money here, so he didn't have to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get wages, so no one came to investigate him.
In addition, according to Xiao Guizi, during the day, Lao Wu would come to him to gamble, and he would have to arrange follow-up matters later.
Eunuch Hai had already arranged it before, asking him to win more money, and then lend it to the Wen brothers. After he had a favor, he went to the study to find a book called "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra". Unfortunately, he was not good at gambling and had always lost money, so naturally there was no progress.
When Wei Xiaobao heard about gambling, he was very excited. He insisted on taking out the dice and playing with Xiao Guizi.
As soon as he got it, he found that it was two cheating dice filled with mercury. He felt relieved and told Xiao Guizi that he had excellent gambling skills and that he would definitely be able to kill all sides with him.
Xiao Guizi didn't believe it at first, but she didn't realize it was amazing until Wei Xiaobao won all the pocket money. Xiao Guizi said, "I will take you with me tomorrow, so that they can't find a place even if they cry!"
Xiao Guizi told Wei Xiaobao about the rules in the palace and let him get familiar with it quickly. She also gave him a new name, namely Xiaochunzi.
Those who play with him are all the eunuchs at the bottom. As long as you have money, it’s good to play. No one asks so many questions at that time.
