Chapter 247 Regeneration of severed limbs, good news for eunuchs
In the 18th year of Yongle's reign, Ming Dynasty Emperor Chengzu established the "East Jishi Factory" to supervise the world in order to suppress political opposition forces, and ordered his favorite eunuchs to serve as leaders.
At first, Dongchang was under the direct jurisdiction of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Later, the jurisdiction gradually transferred to the eunuchs, whose power was superior to that of the Jinyiwei.
During the Jingtai period, Cao Shaoqin, the powerful governor of Dongchang, even hijacked the emperor and ordered hundreds of officials to monopolize power in an attempt to subvert the imperial court and usurp the throne.
In order to eliminate dissidents, Cao Shaoqin spent a lot of money to recruit a group of fierce dead soldiers from various places, formed a cold-blooded black cavalry team, and conducted rigorous training in secret.
At the same time, an arms department was set up to develop various novel killing weapons.
There have been many research results, one of which is called the 'Phoenix Tail Arrow', which is particularly weird. As long as the trajectory of the target is calculated, an arrow with a curvature can be shot through the picks on both sides of the tail fin. Hitting the target is somewhat similar to the GPS tracking system in modern society.
Of course, the Phoenix Tail Arrow currently only has the ability to track left and right turns, which is far from the real GPS tracking function, but it was a pretty good research result in the feudal dynasty.
Due to the huge power of Dongchang and the large number of party members, the headquarters was built on the outskirts of the capital to facilitate various trainings and secret activities for successive governors...
"Recently, a bloodthirsty swordsman appeared along the southeast coast. It is said that he can help people regenerate their severed limbs. Is this true?" In the Dongchang meeting hall, Cao Shaoqin openly sat on the dragon chair and asked his four stall holders. asked.
"Reporting to the Governor, my subordinates are about to report this matter. It has been found that the bloodthirsty swordsman who claims to be a magic doctor does have a magic bead in his hand that can suck blood and steal souls. This bead can not only cure all diseases, but also cure people. A broken limb is reborn.”
The eunuch who responded was named Jia Ting. He was the eldest of the four stalls in Dongchang. He was also the first stall to send people to the coastal areas to investigate after receiving the news.
Jia Ting is nearly fifty years old. The older a person gets, the more he fears death and the more he cares about the inheritance of incense.
When they first heard the rumor, the other three stall owners didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just another rumor in the world. He was the only one who took the matter to heart and secretly sent a young eunuch to find out.
Just last night, the little eunuch he sent ran back happily and brought two fishermen who had lost their limbs and were reborn.
The careless Cao Shaoqin originally just asked casually, never having thought that there was someone in the world who actually had the ability to regenerate severed limbs. Who would have thought that Jia Ting actually said that the rumors were true!
He stood up suddenly and stared at Jia Ting with bright eyes, "Seriously?"
"It's absolutely true!"
Jia Ting answered vigorously and forcefully.
At this time, not only Cao Shaoqin couldn't help himself with excitement, but the other three stalls, Lu Xiaochuan, Cao Tian, and Chang Yanxiao, were also happy one after another.
What is the pain of a eunuch's life?
Isn’t it just that the meat in the crotch is missing?
Before entering the palace for purification, these people gritted their teeth and endured the purification just to have a bite of food, but when they finished eating, they were all heartbroken.
Especially Cao Shaoqin, Jia Ting and others.
The great eunuch is powerful, and he can get wind and rain when he wants, but he can't get women and can't carry on the family line.
Now a magic doctor appears in the world, who can not only cure all kinds of diseases, but also regenerate severed limbs, which means that the bit of flesh they gave up when they were young will hopefully grow back.
As for what was cut off, would the emperor allow it to grow back?
Of course it's okay for them to be in power. Whether the little eunuch below has this blessing depends on whether they are willing to protect it.
"Governor, Xiao Dezi, who investigated this matter, brought back two fishermen last night. Both of them had an arm cut off by the Japanese pirates when they attacked the village. However, their hands grew back after treatment by the magic doctor. , but their left and right hands are obviously..."
"Quick, tell them to come in."
Before Jia Ting could finish speaking, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but interrupt.
There is definitely a difference between a novice and a veteran.
Fishermen are not pampered royal relatives. They are exposed to wind and rain all year round, and their skin is dark and rough. Their hands are even covered with calluses. You can tell at a glance whether their hands have grown back.
"Yes, Governor."
Not long after Jia Ting walked out of the meeting hall, he brought two timid men.
"Take off your shirt."
"Yes."
Facing the imposing Cao Shaoqin, the two fishermen naturally did not dare to disobey his wishes. Fortunately, they had guessed the purpose of the eunuchs in front of them asking them to take off their shirts, so they were not afraid at all.
He decisively took off his shirt and let a few people look at him.
Before they met Cheng Long, both of their right arms were broken off. The new arm that grew back was whiter and tenderer than a woman's skin, like a newborn baby.
Cao Shaoqin touched it curiously and found it was smooth and tender.
The new ones didn’t run away.
After confirming that the rumors were true, Duke Cao was in a good mood and said excitedly: "Tell me what the magic doctor you met looks like?"
"My benefactor was fair, tall and handsome. He was riding a giant steel beast, and the roar of the steel beast could be heard from a long distance away..."
"How strong is he?"
"It's very strong. The dozens of Japanese pirates who attacked our village can be killed in a dozen breaths..."
A dozen interest rates?
Cao Shaoqin frowned slightly.
The magic doctor is very powerful. If he can't be used by me, he will definitely be a serious problem in the future.
……
Capital.
In an inn.
Zhou Huai'an, the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army, said to several chivalrous knights: "Master Yang has received accurate news that the Japanese pirates in the Yellow Sea are secretly gathering. They spent a lot of money to get a batch of matchlock guns from the red-haired ghosts and prepared them. Ambush bloodthirsty swordsmen in Qindao, Donglai and other places.”
"The magic doctor has killed so many Japanese pirates. It seems that he has cornered them."
The female knight Qiu Moyan chuckled.
This heroine is dressed as a man from head to toe, but she has bright eyes, white teeth, a beautiful face, and charming charm.
Qiu Moyan without a hat is much more eye-catching than in "New Dragon Inn".
"In just seven or eight days, more than a dozen groups of Japanese pirates were killed. It is roughly estimated that more than 300 of them were killed. Even if I were a Japanese pirate, I would be worried!" A hero who couldn't name him couldn't help laughing. Voice.
The more anxious the Japanese pirate is, the happier he will be.
Because his family died at the hands of Japanese pirates, he would have been brutally killed if his father had not hidden him in the cellar.
When Japanese pirates kill people, they never look at age, only men and women, and whether they can be sold for money. They treat old people and young people who can't generate profits, and they will be as ruthless as they want.
"Master Zhou, since you have investigated the movements of the Japanese pirates, why don't you send troops to encircle and suppress them?" Another elderly warrior said with a frown.
Obviously, the old man had guessed Zhou Huai'an's purpose, but he couldn't figure it out. The Japanese pirates harassing the coastal areas were obviously a source of instability for the imperial court, so why couldn't they send troops to encircle and suppress them?
"Master Yang has actually asked the emperor for instructions, but it is inconvenient to say more about the affairs in the court. Master Yang also has his own difficulties. The magic doctor kills Japanese pirates and protects the tranquility of the coast. He is an out-and-out national hero. I hope you can go. Let me know so that the magic doctor won’t encounter any mishaps.”
Zhou Huaian was very helpless that he could not send troops to suppress the bandits along the coast. The magic doctor killed them so quickly. He did not have as powerful a force as his opponent, but he could lead the troops to encircle and suppress them.
It is a pity that when Master Yang sent out troops to encircle and suppress the army, he was opposed by the eunuchs and civil servants. The reasons were many untenable, just for the sake of rebellion.
The most direct objection is that the Japanese pirates gathered just to deal with a knight-errant, not to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty. There was no need to waste money and food to send troops to encircle and suppress them.
Of course, these people opposed the imperial court sending troops to encircle and suppress Japanese pirates, mainly because of their arrogance. They believed that magic doctors could cure all diseases and regenerate severed limbs, which was not trustworthy at all.
Especially the regeneration of severed limbs, Hua Tuo and Bian Que would not dare to speak so wildly even if they were still alive.
If you don't believe the rumors, you have no immediate interests. The civil servants group has always been at odds with the military attache group. When Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War, proposed sending troops, how could the civilian officials get what he wanted.
"Lord Zhou, it's not too late. Mo Yan will set off right now."
Qiu Moyan is a chivalrous woman who attaches great importance to love and justice. She already admires anti-Japanese heroes like Cheng Long. Now that she knows the intentions of her old acquaintance Zhou Huai'an, she naturally has no choice but to do so.
"If we can get along, you might as well invite him to come to the capital for a walk. Master Yang is very interested in him." "Okay~~"
……
Two days later.
Qiu Moyan and two other Jianghu knights traveled day and night, changing horses three times at the inn, and finally arrived near Qindao.
In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the news, the three of them split into two routes, one heading north and the other heading south.
Cheng Long did not know at this time that there were three Jianghu knights who spent a lot of time searching for him in order not to be ambushed by the Japanese pirates.
He went all the way north from the coast of Fuzhou, passed through Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and entered the land of Qilu. He had just killed a group of bandits entrenched near the official road, and then rode to the beach to eat barbecue.
Fresh lamb is grilled and freshly squeezed juice is drunk.
After killing people, he became more and more calm and calm.
Killing people, sucking blood, and healing the suffering people is like a spiritual journey that sharpens the soul.
He seemed to be enjoying it all.
The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky is filled with sunset.
After Cheng Long finished chewing a leg of lamb, he wiped the oil on his hands with a paper towel and threw the paper ball into the fire when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from ahead.
The next second, majestic spiritual consciousness came out.
"The East is undefeated?"
"That's wrong!"
"Dongfang Bubai in the 13th edition of Swordsman is Dongfang Bai, Yilin's sister, how could it be him?"
Qingxia's version of the Oriental Invincible classic is a classic, but it follows the original work. It starts out as a man. After practicing the Sunflower Book, it becomes neither male nor female, charming and charming.
"This sister has breasts, it shouldn't be him!"
In order to confirm his suspicion, Cheng Long took a closer look and found that the bulge on his chest was probably not what he had guessed.
Soon, someone on horseback came into view.
He immediately put away his consciousness and looked up at the handsome woman with a ponytail in front of him.
"Xu~~"
Qiu Moyan noticed the giant steel beast beside the bonfire, hurriedly stopped the galloping horse, and asked: "Dare I ask this young hero, is he a magic doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded?"
"Young hero dare not be a hero, but I am indeed a magic doctor."
"Qiu Moyan, I have met the young hero."
"Qiu Moyan?" Cheng Long said in surprise: "Zhou Huaian's sweetheart?"
"..."
Qiu Moyan's pretty face turned slightly red while his eyes widened.
She had indeed admired Zhou Huai'an for a long time, and Lao Zhou seemed to like her, but the two of them did not express their feelings to each other and pierce the thin layer of window paper.
Strange, how does the magic doctor know this?
Could it be that this young hero could predict the future?
"Miss Qiu, are you here to see me?"
After confirming Qiu Moyan's origin, Cheng Long couldn't help but raise his lips. The plot of the movie New Dragon Gate Inn was actually integrated into Swordsman, and things became more and more interesting.
Cao Shaoqin, played by Master Yip, is a walking merit bag.
If you have a chance, you should go to Dongchang and kill all those eunuchs who have done many evil things.
"Yes, Mr. Yang has received news that the Japanese pirates in the Yellow Sea are secretly gathering to ambush you. They also spent a lot of money to buy a batch of matchlock guns from the red-haired ghost..." Qiu Moyan said while sizing up Cheng Long. Seeing the other party's calm face, I was filled with admiration.
Being so fearless in the face of danger is truly the demeanor of a general.
"Miss Qiu, sit down, drink some water, and speak slowly..." Cheng Long handed Qiu Moyan a bottle of water.
"How to open it?" Qiu Moyan said blankly.
"Twist this." Cheng Long picked up the mineral water at his feet and demonstrated it in person.
Qiu Moyan unscrewed the bottle cap and took several sips with his head raised. His heroic posture reminded people of the classic scene of Qingxia drinking with her head raised in the movie "The Swordsman".
Cheng Long actually admired Qingxia's appearance. In the month he had just traveled through time, he had thought about hooking up with Salena from Police Story, but later he gave up the idea when he thought that she worked as a secretary for a drug dealer.
The one in front of me didn't seem to be suitable either. Qiu Moyan and Zhou Huai'an had mutual feelings for each other, and they were both chivalrous men, so they were not suitable for poaching.
But it’s not a big problem. If Qiu Moyan can’t do it, there are still many classic characters such as Lian Nishang, Li Qiushui, Long Er, the third princess, and the Lord of the Fairy Castle in Yaochi.
"By the way, what should I call you?"
Qiu Moyan drank most of the bottle of mineral water in one go, and then someone asked for Cheng Long's name.
"My surname is Cheng, and my single name is a dragon."
"It turns out to be Mr. Cheng. You are not very young, so how can you have such strong kung fu? According to rumors, you can kill a group of Japanese pirates in just ten breaths. Is it true?"
Qiu Moyan has always been a bit skeptical about the rumors in the world. The world is a mixed bag, and there are too many true and false news.
People who cannot learn to distinguish are particularly susceptible to false news.
Just like netizens who do not know the truth on the Internet in later generations, it is easy to be led by various false news and become an accomplice of deliberately distorting the facts.
"Miss Qiu, because you came all the way to report to me, I will let you see my true ability. Watch out." Cheng Long unscrewed the bottle cap, and the water in the bottle was under his skillful hands. It seemed to have been given a new life, turning into crystal clear, small and exquisite arrows.
Swish swish...
The water arrows turned into streaks of silver light, like dragons emerging from the water, piercing the air with lightning speed.
Bang bang bang...
The water arrows that hit the reef were like large-caliber sniper bombs, directly blasting the reef full of holes as high as a person. It is absolutely impossible for the human body to withstand such horrific destructive power. Anyone who is hit by an arrow will be killed. It was a bloody mess.
Seeing this understatement, Qiu Moyan finally understood one thing.
They worry too much!
How could a little Japanese pirate ambush a demon doctor with such terrifying strength?
"Mr. Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so strong. If I had known earlier, why would I have traveled day and night to report to you!" Qiu Moyan couldn't help but laugh at himself, feeling like a clown. After riding for two consecutive days, the skin on his inner thighs They were all worn out just to tip off the devil doctor, but in the end they didn't care at all.
"Miss Qiu, you can't say that. Of course I'm not afraid of an ambush, but being prepared and not being prepared are completely different things. Your report is not in vain. I'm very grateful."
After saying that, Cheng Long suddenly took out the bloodthirsty beads and showed a devilish smile.
Qiu Moyan's heart skipped a beat and he said in panic: "Mr. Cheng, what are you... trying to do?"
"Don't be nervous, I just want to repay you and heal your hidden wounds..."
"But you smile so evilly, I'm afraid."
Qiu Moyan was really afraid. The blood-thirsty bead sucked the essence and blood of hundreds of Japanese pirates, turning from light red to dark red. The evil aura became stronger and stronger. Just one look at it made her feel like she was trapped in Shura purgatory. the illusion.
It was as if there was a sea of blood beneath his feet, with countless mummies sinking into it.
