Chapter 55 It is difficult to distinguish the return of a thousand ships

Here Nie Qing followed the King of Beijing, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and Wu Sangui came out of the Yongding Gate, Wu Sangui was gorgeously draped, wearing a flower feather, and the flag was fluttering, which was personally sent out by the father of the King of Beijing. This is still a great honor for Wu Sangui. Wu Yingxiong and Princess Jianning were also in the send-off procession. Wu Sangui had another person in a big car, Miaoyu, a master of innate divine calculation.

Miaoyu saw clearly the danger of this Wu character now, it turned out that it was not for others, but for herself. Unexpectedly, General Wu, who came to the temple during the day to tell fortunes, would send troops to snatch himself out of the temple and use the emperor's decree to make himself his princess.

And last night's thrilling fight was still in front of her, and she knew that she would never be able to see the two friends who worked hard for her again, so she muttered silently in her heart. Daiyu Xiangyun, there will be a period later.

Jia Zheng Jia Lian of the South Gate took the eleventh king Bomu Bogol and Baoyu to set off together, Jia Zheng went to assist Liu Dashuai to pacify Li Laiheng, because Daiyu Baochai participated in the draft today, he had to bring out Baoyu, so there was nothing happy. The little prince will only lose his temper, he always endures it, and finally Jia Lian has some tricks, which can be regarded as coaxing the little prince.

Wu Sangui went to the west, Jia Zheng went to the south, the two teams had a section of waterway in Tianjin that converged, Wu Sangui himself went to pay homage to the eleventh prince, so he invited Jia Zheng to his boat. Because on the second day everyone will be separated. Wu Sangui and Jia Zheng had a good relationship in the former Ming Dynasty, and they still had the same friendship with Jia Zhu, so they claimed to be a late born to Master Zheng. Baoyu went to this boat, but saw Xiao Zuo very similar to Jia Yun, Jia Yun went to meet his uncle first, Jia Lian smiled: I didn't think I could see your son here. Baoyu smiled, Jia Yun didn't care, and said that he had been in the army for a while, and he didn't go to visit his uncle, but the second master of Lian treated me well, and gave Lin Zhixiao's red jade to himself as his wife, which is also something he is very grateful for. So he worshiped Jia Lian and Baoyu, and Wu Sangui was even happier. It turned out that Jia Yun's father was in Wu Sangui's army before, and he saved Wu Sangui's life in the chaotic army, so he naturally took special care of Jia Yun, and now he knows that Jia Lian is kind to Jia Yun.

Jia Lian gave the Western red wine he brought to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui sent the wine to the ships, and set up a banquet on the boat to entertain Jia Zheng and a few people.

During the banquet, everyone talked about Zhang Xianzhong, Wu Sangui said that he killed countless people, and killed women, even children, Baoyu listened to the blood, and he couldn't drink the wine, so he went back to his boat to rest first.

For a while, the guests and hosts were happy, and the individual returned to the personal boat. Jia Lian came to find Baoyu. The two of them saw that the water flow of the canal was gentle, and the big ship was as smooth as walking on the ground. I couldn't help but relax a little.

Baoyu whispered to Jia Lian: "We are in Beijing, and we heard that Zhang Thief had been killed a few years ago, so how could we go to kill him again this time." He also said that he was a murderer. It stands to reason that since he is carrying the banner of Dashun, he should also love the people like a son like King Chuang, how can he spread such an unbearable reputation.

Jia Lian laughed: "Most of the official reports you get in Beijing are uncountable, and a few years ago, it was rumored that Li Zicheng was beaten by his head and died, do you believe it or not." Baoyu shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't know about other people, this Li Zicheng, I saw him alive with my own eyes." ”

"So the official report that Zhang Xianzhong has already been killed by his subordinates, and now he reports that he is a murderer, and he wants to kill him, do you believe it or not."

"It's really a contradiction, in this world, it's really not easy to understand everyone."

Baoyu sighed: "Brother, I am also getting older day by day, but I don't know that I am very disgusted with this eunuch, in fact, I don't know which way I go, how did my brother figure out where he went back then?" ”。 Jia Lian smiled: "Life is either to make a name for yourself, or for the rich party, or for loyalty, or for having to be just for it, I can only get one, I don't want more, since the original intention has been chosen, one way to go to the dark." Whether it is dead or alive, it is impossible to control the life of the family. ”

"I don't know that my brother's road went to the dark?"

Jia Lian smiled: "You can't learn from me, I only live for my big man." Baoyu saw that the second master Lian, who was usually giggling, said this, and suddenly felt like thunder, and his heart was extremely surging: "Then I want to learn from my brother." ”

Jia Lian smiled and shook his head: "I don't have a choice, you're different." "Baoyu is covered." As my brother said, Sister Lin didn't have a choice? ”

She didn't have a choice. Because she came out of Yangzhou. But if she doesn't choose, no one will blame her, because she is just a woman, and she can choose to find a good husband and live peacefully for the rest of her life. ”

"The emperor and the prince of Beijing both want to marry her."

"She won't choose them, because she came out of Yangzhou, and they are all the executioners of Yangzhou's slaughter, and they are actually her enemies."

"Brother, thank you for telling me, I understand such a simple truth."

Jia Lian said: "Including your sister Xiangyun and sister Baochai, although they are all registered because of the Jia family and the Xue family." But they will not choose the life entrusted to them by the princes and nobles at will. Because they are all Han Chinese. When the world is peaceful, everyone can be friends, but in this troubled world, no one can do it. Baoyu, there is sometimes no way to avoid ethnic hatred. ”

Baoyu nodded. "But so many men have been cleared, including our father. Including ourselves, do we still ask women to be so festive?"

Jia Lian smiled: "It depends on the individual, for example, your sister Lin will insist on her integrity, but your sister Bao may not, I will insist that I am a Han in my bones, and your second sister-in-law may not." This qiē depends on the individual's temperament. ”

Baoyu nodded, "Only then can we distinguish between the respectable and the unrespectable." It turns out that the second brother is the same as the eldest brother."

"I am different from him, I am like this because I have to do it, only he is truly out of public interest to the people. If one day the Qing court could make the people live and work in peace, he would also choose to help the little emperor. ”

"I'm confused again"

"In short, you learn from your big brother."

The prince of Beijing, however, felt that the wine sent by Jia Lian was indeed excellent, and he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, this red wine didn't seem to have any strength, but it was very good for sleep after drinking. I slept very soundly that night. None of them expected that when the boat passed by the estuary, the fog protruded at night, and the shadow of the boat was nowhere to be seen in three steps. I saw a group of ships in the oblique thorn following the ship of the prince of Beijing, which was loaded with explosives, stones, sailors and archers in ambush in the cabin.

Taking advantage of the fog, Liu Xianglian and Jia Zhu, Duan Chuanxiu had already brought some masters to hide in the boat, it turned out that the ships that transported military salaries were all requisitioned by the rebels, and the shipwrights were all from Sumen Sanshao, Wu Sangui's soldiers were quietly fruited, and Jia Yun and Jia Rong, who were escorted by Wu Sangui, led the boat with explosives to Wu Sangui's boat, and the boatmen quietly rowed some of the boats into the canal, and under the cover of Jia Lian's fleet, they played a game of stealing the day and quietly went to the west first. Jia Yun and Jia Rong quietly returned to their boat to sleep.

The rest of the soldiers on the ship were unaware.

At one time, the boat passed through Tianjin, and everyone went south and west, and they were separated. The prince of Beijing saw that the ship he escorted was following behind, and Wu Sangui didn't see the flaw. After a night and a day until evening, the ship will reach Qingjiang, and after passing Yicheng, he can return to sail.

Who knew that those boats followed two miles, and actually went to the Qingjiang River on their own, and the prince of Beijing was busy intercepting it, but who knew that the ship suddenly roared with cannons, and ten thousand arrows were fired at once. There was an earthen cannon on the transport. Here, Jia Rong deliberately reported to King Beijing in a panic that Jia Zhen's boat was missing.

Jia Zhen was on her own boat, and when she woke up in the morning, she found that the boat was single, bending in a fork in the canal, and when she walked out, she saw Liu Xianglian looking at him with a smile.

Jia Zhen immediately realized that something was wrong: you killed me. Liu Erlang, if you want to die, don't trap me.

Liu Xianglian smiled: I'll let my eldest brother go back, just push this matter on my head

Where did the ship go?

"I also entered Sichuan, but it was just for Zhang Xianzhong's use. Don't give it to Wu Sangui. ”

"How do you get the boatmen to do your bidding?"

"The ships on the canal are still surnamed Zhu. The ships were all sailors of Sumen Sanshao. Wu Sangui's people were replaced last night. ”

"You're bold enough. Yesterday I said not to use the boat on the canal, afraid of ambush, surnamed Wu said that who is not afraid of him, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head. Liu Erlang, you did a beautiful job. ”

"If you want to do it, you can do it."

"But I can't make it." Jia Zhen sighed: "If I die, I'll die, but it will affect the children." After speaking, he wiped away tears. ”

"Don't worry, the prince of Beijing and Wu Sangui will not let the emperor know, for fear that the emperor will suspect that they are embezzling military salaries."

"If they really swallow it, it will naturally fall on our heads."

Liu Xianglian smiled: "This time they haven't had time yet." ”

The prince of Beijing here found that the situation was not right, and he fired a few shots at the dozens of boats, and in the mist, there were just some huge splashes, this side is on the water, that side is in the water, and that side is like an arrow from the string, where can I catch up. Wu Sangui jumped like thunder, calmed down a little, and asked the landlords in the central Sichuan area to immediately intercept the boats.

The prince of Beijing let Nie Qing be detained, Nie Qing was very puzzled, and the prince of Beijing said: "You came out of me last night and went to Jiafu, but you secretly communicated with someone. ”

"You sent someone to follow me"

"Someone saw you enter the Grand View Garden Yihong Courtyard"

"It's wrong, the little one just likes Miss Qingwen, and often goes to see what she's doing at night."

"Sure enough, this little hoof did a good thing, don't think I don't know who she is."

"Really wronged, I just looked at her from a distance, and I didn't talk to her at all."

"How did that news leak."

"I'm supposed to be the last one to know."

King Beijing sneered, "Such a big thing, there must be someone to carry it, you are aware and escorted, and now you have found the inside line to answer, wait for me to go back and catch that Ejiao Qingwen's little hooves, I am not afraid that you will not recruit." ”

"I want to bend into a trick."

"That's what I'm going to do."

"Take a chain and lock him up. The rope couldn't trap him. ”

Nie Qing saw people coming over with chains, and knew that something was wrong. The two hidden weapons spit out of his mouth, and immediately got out of control, jumped into the water from the boat, King Beijing ordered someone to release arrows, and Nie Qing sank to the bottom of the water and freed the rope on his body. He went down the water, and came out of the water far away, and raised his hand at the big boat.

It seems that I have to go back and save Miss Qingwen. When he thought of Qingwen, he felt that his strength had come.

The military pay that had been intercepted here was handed over to Zhang Xianzhong, but it was raided by Yang Zhan, a bureaucrat in western Sichuan, in the area of "Laohutan" in Jiangkou Town, Pengshan County, Sichuan, and most of the gold, silver and jewelry of dozens of boats were sunk in the river by Zhang Xianzhong with the fleet. This incident was not known because Wu Sangui did not dare to speak out, and it has always become a legend until the gold ingots excavated in the river in recent years have been proven. And Jia Zhen was able to protect herself, and lived a period of worry, until several cases were concurrent for other reasons.

And a group of princes in Tai** Gege are busy making riddles and guessing riddles. Daiyu looked at this harmonious scene, thinking of Miaoyu who had to go away with Wu Sangui, and sighed quietly in her heart. These princes, nobles, queens, and concubines, who are the ones who leaked Miaoyu's identity to the emperor and Wu Sangui? Miaoyu, I can't save you today, but I beg him to see you again in the future.
