Chapter 1: Entering Beijing alone (2)

"Yes, prince, I will leave!" Xiong Hu's strength on the outside made her continue to wrap up her inner fragility again. Zhu Yinglong didn't realize what mistake she had made, so he nodded and passed by.

He passed through Hejian Mansion, to Baoding, and then entered Tongzhou. This was Lu Haotian's base camp. He lived in the official post station all the way, and all the food and accommodation were provided by the court. Zhu Yinglong wanted to meet Lu Haotian in person and give him the opportunity in person, so when he got to the official post, he ordered Wang Chengen to lead the eunuch who had issued the order to drink. He and Xiong Hu quietly changed into the coarse cloth clothes of the people and went straight to Tongyuan pawnshop.

This Tongyuan pawn shop is separated from Tongzhou Guanyi. When I first chose this pawn shop as a liaison link, I first considered that it was close to Tongzhou Guanyi, and there was a large passage from south to north in front of the door. It was found in the downtown area, and it felt quite faint in the city. Who would have suspected that such a century-old pawn shop would be the liaison office of the Shandong White Lotus Sect that disappeared?

"Shopkeeper, let's be the thing!" Zhu Yinglong and Xiong Hu walked to the counter and shouted inside.

"Oh, here we are, what are you, guest?" a young guy ran over happily and said.

"A jade pendant passed down from the ancestors!" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

"Can you let me see?" The young man's eyes immediately lit up and he stretched out his hand.

Zhu Yinglong took the sachet from Xiong Hu's hand and did not give it to the young man. Instead, he took back his sleeve and said, "It's not that I look down on you, my man, only your shopkeeper can see the preciousness of this thing!"

The young man withdrew his hand, smiled awkwardly, turned his head back, and shouted, "Shopkeeper, a piece of the ancestral jade pendant!"

"Come here!" The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a quadrilateral face walked out. Seeing Zhu Yinglong and Xiong Hu were dressed in a very shabby manner, he pulled his face down. He thought to himself that even if the ancestral masters could have something good, the shopkeeper would need to come and check it out in person. It was really unreasonable, but when opening the door to do business, the customer was the first priority. He quickly changed his face and greeted him: "The two guests want to be ancestral masters. Can you let the younger one see it?"

He looked like a snob. Why did Lu Haotian choose such a person to be the shopkeeper of Tongyuan pawnshop? He was a little dissatisfied and handed over the sachet in his hand calmly.

The sachet has no characteristics, with green substrate, red lace, Su embroidered, medium-sized products, and ordinary wealthy families can use it. Judging from the wear of these two people and the sachet, Shi Quan concluded that the jade pendant in the sachet must be a valuable item. He didn't even look at it at the moment and threw it to the young man beside him: "A piece of the trashed ancestral jade pendant is as if it is silver ten taels!"

Zhu Yinglong's lungs were so angry that it would be fine if he didn't know his identity. He even opened it for himself without even looking at it. It was really outrageous. How did Lu Haotian become the commander? He forced himself to hold it back and asked, "Shopkeeper, why did you do it for me if you don't look at things? I have asked many experts that my ancestral jade pendant is worth thousands of taels!"

"A few thousand taels, you two are crazy about poverty. Just your outfit and the sachets with jade pendants are rotten and old. It's already tall enough to give you ten taels." Shi Guan said disdainfully.

"Aren't the shopkeeper afraid that the jade pendant is not contained in our sachet?" Xiong Hu asked.

"It won't be a worry girl. What is it? This shopkeeper touched it like this and then looked at it again." Shi Quan was the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, so he naturally developed a pair of golden eyes. He saw through Xiong Hu was dressed as a man.

"Does the shopkeeper know what the ancestral jade pendant of our brother and sister looks like?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a sneer.

"This..." Shi Guan just weighed it and confirmed it was a piece of jade. As for the shape of the jade pendant, he didn't touch it carefully. When he took it back to his hand, his face turned pale. He looked at Zhu Yinglong in surprise and said in juicy: "You always..."

"What is it, Manager Shi?" Zhu Yinglong leaned over and asked with a sneer.

Xiong Hu looked down on the most is this snobbish villain. He glared at the phoenix eyes, his pretty face turned cold, and shouted: "What are you doing when you are stupid? You can't pretend!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was dizzy just now, and I had a wrong test. Please forgive me. This is indeed a priceless jade pendant, worth 5,000 taels of silver!" Shi Guan's cold sweat flowed downwards, and his neck felt cold.

"We want to cash in, do you have it?" Xiong Hu whispered.

"This, this, the store has only more than 2,000 taels of silver. Can the remaining silver notes be enough?" Shi Quan said carefully.

"No, we'll have to cash in."

"Then please give me tea first. I'll let the friend go to the money shop to take it." Shi Quan had already received Lu Haotian's order, but he didn't expect that his snobbish eyes almost offended the people above. Now, although the White Lotus Sect is controlled by Zhu Yinglong, most of the believers and even some core figures only know Song Ying, but they don't know that their real leader is the King of Xin of the Ming Dynasty. The reason for doing this is to facilitate control, and the other is that these White Lotus Sects are all against the court. If they learn that their leader is the vassal king of the court, it will be troublesome to cause rebellion. Anyway, the Song family has become Zhu Yinglong's scapegoat, what else can they use it?

"Saint Aunt, how are you?" Shi Quan asked suddenly while welcoming the two into the back hall.

Zhu Yinglong was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that his current identity was the special envoy of the Saint Aunt of the White Lotus Sect. He responded quickly: "Saint Aunt is very good, and she is pregnant with the bones and blood of the Holy King."

"Really?" Shi Feng suddenly became inexplicably excited. His joy was even more excited than his own child: "Old leader, the White Lotus Sect has hope of revival!"

"Yes, it's been four months." Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest. The fanaticism of these White Lotus scholars about religion is really puzzling. I hope this is just a few extreme elements. If everyone is like this, he will have trouble. Everything has its pros and cons. It has gained a strong force. This is the advantage and disadvantage that many of the backbone elements in this power are religious fanatics. They have absolutely no rational belief in religion. Now he began to understand why Lu Haotian arranged such a person in such an important position, because his fanaticism about religion will not betray his own people even if it is exposed. He can't find anyone to replace this snob. This is actually a disguised compromise, no matter what, but is there a saying that goes, people are always discovering problems, studying problems, and solving problems in the cycle of problems? Don't everything revolve around this?

At least he can only maintain this status quo now. He needs this force and cannot allow his division, so he can only endure it first.

Zhu Yinglong met Lu Haotian, Yan Peiwei and Xiaoru. Lu Haotian has gained a foothold in the White Lotus Sect with Xiaoru's husband. With Xiaoru's support, except for a few elderly people in the sect that cannot be fully controlled, the backbone of the young sect has been completely named "Zhu". Xiaoru also knew Zhu Yinglong's true identity. Although it was a bit awkward, he had already committed himself to Lu Haotian. Although her husband was not too young, he was considerate and loved her. She was no longer the girl who was the willful Hu Wei in the Miss and the former. She has been with her for more than half a year.

When Lu Haotian was able to experience maturity, he could not see a rainbow without experiencing storms. Moreover, Xiaoru and Yan Peiwei had become Lu Haotian's right-hand man. When they heard Zhu Yinglong say that Xu Ruying was four months pregnant, Xiaoru was even more happy and tears were almost falling. He was such a very affectionate girl. Zhu Yinglong talked with Lu Haotian and Yan Peiwei for about half an hour, leaving behind a few military books he collected, asking them to study carefully, and let them train themselves to train an invincible brigade. Then he quietly left the pawnshop and rushed back to the official office.

Due to the shortage of time, Zhu Yinglong did not see Shen Xi recovering from the wounded place. He only knew that he was very good under the care of Lu Haotian and others. Because of his inconvenience in movement, he did not come to meet him.
