The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes as big as goose feathers were blowing in the cold wind, making Qian Yuan a little unable to open his eyes.

He took the umbrella in Zhang San's hand and blocked it, and only after carefully identifying it did he find the alley, and Qian Yuan left without saying a word.

Yang Wen behind him glanced at the Qinglou, which was still vaguely lit, and walked a few steps and whispered, "Young master, don't be ......."

"Looking for flowers and asking Liu what are you still doing with you?" Qian Yuan snorted angrily, "What's more, let you bring weapons!" ”

Zhang San and Yang Wen exchanged glances, they were at a loss, the young master didn't stop sighing after returning to the house, and he still had to leave the house after the third watch.

That is, the Xiang family did not have a nursing home, and the group climbed out of the wall secretly.

Ever since he heard that name, Qian Yuan had been restless, and he had vaguely inquired about it, and the Shen Sect had a fierce wife who didn't dare to stay elsewhere at night, so he secretly took Yang Wen and the others out of the house.

"This is it." Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and recognized, "Knock on the door." ”

Yang Wen knocked for a while, but there was no movement inside, and when he turned around, he saw Qian Yuan making a gesture.

Yang Wen grinned, pulled out a dagger from his arms and opened the door smoothly after a few strokes, Zhang San hesitated and walked into the door with a waist knife, thinking in his heart that his young master was going to rob the house?

There was a woman's shrill shouting from inside, the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, and the sound of crying......

Although the sound was not loud, it sounded quite harsh in the alley in the dead of night, Qian Yuan strode into the room, and by the dim light of the candles that had been lit, the two women were curled up at the foot of the bed trembling.

"It's you ......" The slightly younger woman recognized Qian Yuan, she should be her sister Wang Lushu.

Zhang San glanced at the woman, and then looked back at Qian Yuan...... Young master, this is not a robbery, I'm afraid it's a robbery!

Picking up a round stool from the ground and placing it on the side of the bed, gently brushing off the dust with his sleeve, Qian Yuan fixed his eyes and took a closer look, "Wang Cuiqiao?" ”

Seeing the woman's conditioned reflex shrink back, Qian Yuan nodded and waved his hand to let Yang Wen and the others out.

There was silence in the room, and the sisters didn't know who each other was, what they wanted to do, and what they were supposed to do.

After a long silence, Qian Yuan asked softly, "What about the man you saved?" ”

Wang Lushu shrank in the innermost part and didn't dare to speak, Wang Cuiqiao replied in a low voice: "The master drove away." ”

"The man is sick?"

"Yes."

"Don't recognize?"

"I don't know."

It didn't seem to be for his sisters, Wang Cuiqiao gradually became curious, raised her head slightly and peeked at the man, who was sitting on a round stool, and the dim candlelight set off his sharp face.

"Do you know where he's from?"

"I don't know."

"Can you hear the voice?"

"I can't hear it."

At this time, Qian Yuan keenly noticed that Wang Lushu's lips were slightly open, and he pointed with a smile, "You say." ”

"No...... I don't know ......."

The coquettish woman with a crying voice was pitiful, which made people feel pity, but Qian Yuan smiled and pointed out the door, "Do you want someone else to ask?" ”

The Qinglou woman has always known how to observe words and feelings, and the sisters both heard the coldness mixed in the laughter, Wang Lushu immediately blurted out, "The accent sounds like a Huizhou person." ”

"It should be." Wang Cuiqiao cautiously added: "Our sisters used to be in Qinhuai...... I have seen a lot of Huizhou giants. ”

Nowadays, Huizhou merchants are famous all over the world, and it is common for Huizhou people to spend a lot of money on Yangzhou and Qinhuai River.

Qian Yuan nodded, his face became more and more gloomy, and he was silent for a while before he asked, "That person is a monk?" ”

"It's not...... By the way, the bun is a little loose, hey, it's really possible! ”

There was another long silence, Qian Yuan stared at Wang Cuiqiao intently, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was still a step late.

After hearing the name Wang Cuiqiao, Qian Yuan went out to visit at that time, but the man had long since disappeared.

Huizhou accent, loose bun may be a monk, plus the name Wang Cuiqiao...... Qian Yuan is eighty percent sure that the man should be Xu Hai, who later called himself "General Pinghai of Tiancha".

For Xu Hai, there is no need to say more, this person has as many as tens of thousands of Japanese pirates under his command at most, and they are eliminated by the establishment and most likely have the appearance of an army.

It was common to kill people and grab land, and most importantly, Xu Hai had been active in Susong and Songjiang for a long time, and he also used Songjiang as a base.

In fact, most of the current Japanese robbers are from maritime merchants, and their combat power is not very strong, Lu Bo and Yu Dayou have frequently reported victories, and the coastal areas of Zhejiang have been beaten so badly to a large extent because the Ming army is too weak.

The key to the improvement of the Japanese Bandits' combat power was Xu Hai, who cooperated with the Japanese people to introduce a large number of wandering warriors into the mainland, with these Japanese people as the vanguard, and there was almost no one to control before Qi Jiguang was born.

Why did Hu Zongxian, the later governor of the southeast, spend so much energy, counter-plotting, and persuasion to surrender, and finally did not hesitate to bear the infamy of killing prisoners?

At the end of the day, you can't beat it!

The war against the Japanese in the southeast lasted for ten years, and Wang Zhi was the nominal leader of the Japanese invaders, but in fact, it was Xu Hai who caused the most damage.

Qian Yuan secretly gritted his teeth, if he could be captured or killed today, the situation in the southeast against the Japanese would probably not be as bad as in history in the future.

After being stared at for a long time, Wang Cuiqiao gradually became uneasy, in fact, this kind of treatment was common for many years before her, but she did not see the greed and desire that were common in the eyes of this man today......

Qian Yuan also discovered the other party's uneasiness, the historical Wang Cuiqiao has a legend, it is said that she committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea after Xu Hai's death, and several novels and scripts in the late Ming Dynasty used it as a prototype, and even spread to Vietnam, that is, the famous "The Biography of Jin Yunqiao".

And the sisters' rescue of Xu Hai is likely to be the starting point between Wang Cuiqiao and Xu Hai.

"Don't worry, it's okay with you." Qian Yuan smiled gently, since he didn't catch Xu Hai, naturally there was no need to offend Wang Cuiqiao, who was likely to become Xu Hai's wife in the future.

Besides, Qian Yuan, who is familiar with history, knows that in the future, Xu Hai will be hanged, and Wang Cuiqiao will play a big role, kill her today, and Hu Zongxian's counter-plot will be nowhere to be used in the future!

But Qian Yuan's gentle smile did not ease the tension in the other party's heart, and the sisters couldn't help but snort when they looked at Qian Yuan's white teeth.

"Tonight's incident, presumably you won't tell Sect Shen about it?"

"No...... No...... No. ”

"That's good." Qian Yuan got up, bowed slightly gently, and turned around and walked out of the room.

The snow outside had stopped, and Qian Yuan let out a long breath, and the white mist filled in front of him, just like his mood now.

"Young master, so fast!"

Qian Yuan beckoned to Yang Wen and pointed at Zhang San, who had an obscene face, "Deduct his monthly money for a month." ”

"Good!"

"Don't!"

A small but poignant cry echoed in the alley, and Qian Yuan, who was stepping on the snow, comforted himself in his heart.

It's just a matter of luck......

But Qian Yuan couldn't help but think in his heart, he didn't succeed when he hit his hand, could there really be such a thing as luck?
