Sun Tingling scolded Zhu Guozhi, Qiang Donkey, Ao Bai and Kong Sizhen for a long time in the flower hall who nominated the surname Dao, and secretly cursed Shunzhi and Kangxi a few words without nominating the surname of Dao, and finally Zizi returned to the room where the guests stayed in Lichun Courtyard, venting his anger and breathlessness on the poor **. As soon as the figures of a group of them disappeared, Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng, the embarrassed father and son, came out of the private room on the second floor with the curtain drawn, and Yao Qisheng smiled at the old bustard of Lichun Courtyard who was looking around the corner and trembling: "Mom, are you scared?" Today you have broken a lot of valuable furniture and furnishings. ”

"I'm scared, but it's nothing to break these Raushs, I only bought three thousand taels of those three girls today, but I sold them for fifty thousand taels...... There's a lot of it, hee-hee. The old bustard took out a large number of silver tickets, dipped them in saliva and laughed while counting, and thanked Yao Qisheng with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Yao's clever plan, the price can be raised so high, hehe...... Tonight, it's worth half a year as usual, and I really don't know how good Mr. Yao should thank you. ”

Yao Qisheng smiled at the old bustard and said, "Mom, if you want to thank me, I want to ask you for help with something." You also saw the general surnamed Sun just now, he is staying in your Lichun courtyard tonight, I hope he will also live here tomorrow night, I have something to discuss with him, can my mother do it? When the old bustard heard the music, he patted his chest and promised: "This is too easy, I will send a few girls with the best means to entertain him, and then prepare a no-** Qingqi for him, so that even if his father and mother die suddenly, he will have to live here obediently tomorrow night." ”

"So I'll leave it to Mom." Yao Qisheng smiled slightly, touched the old bustard's face again, and then said to Wu Yuanming: "Child, let's go, go to the father's room, let's talk about what to do next while drinking and chatting?" ”

"Father-in-law, no." Wu Yuanming said with a sad face: "It's already the second watch, the child has to go back to the inn immediately, the child still has a few companions waiting there, if it is late to go back, I am afraid that they will be in a hurry." Therefore, we can only ask the father-in-law and the child to go to the inn, and we will discuss the details of the operation there. ”

Yao Qisheng really regarded Wu Yuanming as a son, and nodded and agreed to Wu Yuanming's request with a smile. Hui'er's little girl grabbed Wu Yuanming's collar suspiciously and asked, "How many companions do you have?" What companions? Just now you said that you were escorting a girl named Zheng Xin to go north to Hejian Mansion, so you delayed the day when you would meet me, could it be her who you are talking about? How old is she? Did you get married? What is the appearance of the person? Does she have a special relationship with you? ”

"Hui'er, what nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with her. Wu Yuanming was sweating profusely by Hui'er's little girl's machine-gun-like questioning, and hurriedly clarified his relationship with Zheng Xin. Who knew that Zhu Fangdan, who was extremely jealous of Wu Yuanming's Yanfu, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Miss Hui'er, don't you know the relationship between Wu Gongzi and Miss Zheng Xin?" The two of them are intimate, Wu Gongzi usually hugs her at every turn, and affectionately calls her Xinxin. As for Miss Cheng's appearance...... Please forgive Xiaosheng for saying bluntly, Miss Zheng's appearance is definitely not below you, and her figure is better. ”

"What?!" Just like when Zheng Xin saw Dai Yan and Wu Yuanming hugging intimately, Hui'er's little girl also turned into a fire-breathing little female tyrannosaurus, pulling Wu Yuanming's ears and shouting, "Stinky brother, I'm waiting for you here with a hard time, it's good that you hooked up with a little vixen outside!" Still hugging her, are you worthy of me? Walk! Take me to see that shameless little vixen, I want to see if she's as pretty as me? How intimate is your relationship?! Walk! You let me go! ”

……

Although Wu Yuanming had been mentally prepared for all the situations that happened when Hui'er and Zheng Xin met, the seriousness of the matter far exceeded Wu Yuanming's imagination. After the little girl Hui'er pulled Wu Yuanming to the inn where Zheng Xin and the others were staying, Wu Yuanming didn't have time to persuade the little girl to calm down a little, and Zhu Fangdan, who was blushing at Wu Yuanming's Yanfu and was intent on adding to the chaos, pointed out the room where Zheng Xin was staying, and the little girl didn't say a word, pulled Wu Yuanming to rush to the door and kicked the door open, shouting loudly: "Little vixen, you listen to me, me and ......." ”

The little girl originally wanted to find out to Zheng Xin the relationship between her and Wu Yuanming and let Zheng Xin leave, but when the little girl saw the situation in the room, her words could no longer be called out - because Zheng Xin in the room was standing on a chair with tears streaming down her face, and there was a rope sleeve hanging around her neck, and the other end of the rope sleeve was hanging on the beam of the room. Frightened, Wu Yuanming's soul was scattered, and he crawled over to help her, and shouted repeatedly: "Xin Xin, what are you crazy about?" Why can't you think about it? Come down, have something to say! ”

"Don't come here! If you dare to come, I'll die for you!" Zheng Xin cried and put the rope completely around his neck, making it look like he was looking for a short time. Wu Yuanming was afraid that this little tigress was really nonsense, so he quickly stopped and asked, "Xin Xin, what's wrong with you?" Who bullied you? Why are you like this all of a sudden? Don't scare you, Brother Wu! ”

"Who bullied me? You're bullying me! Zheng Xin cried to death, grasping the rope with one hand, and touching her lower abdomen with the other hand and crying bitterly, "You have no conscience, you know that I have your child!" You also went to hook up with other women, and as soon as you arrived in Yangzhou, you went to find Sister Hui'er, you say! Are you worthy of me? Today I want you to tell me, would you rather marry only one of me, or do you want to have three wives and four concubines? If you lead any more vixens through the door, I'll die for you!" ”

"You have my baby?" Wu Yuanming was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, when did I touch you? Hui'er's little girl almost went crazy, grabbed Wu Yuanming's hand and bit it hard, biting Wu Yuanming's hand bloody, and then slapped Wu Yuanming's face again, crying: "Stinky big brother, you are shameless!" I won't even be a queen for you! Follow you thousands of miles south to the south of the Yangtze River, eat and sleep in the open air, and endure all the hardships, you ...... But you ...... Still! Are you worthy of me? ”

"Since you're sorry for me, then don't blame me for being ruthless, I'll go back to Beijing to find Amma!" While crying, the little girl slapped Wu Yuanming again, covered her face and turned her head and ran out. When Wu Yuanming hurriedly went to chase after him, Zheng Xin, who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, cried again, "Stinky thief, if you dare to walk out of this door today, I will die to show you!" Crying and shouting, Zheng Xin really kicked the chair, so frightened that Wu Yuanming hurriedly went to support her, and dragged her off the chair, Zheng Xin just wanted to get angry with Hui'er's little girl, so she fell into Wu Yuanming's arms, pressed Wu Yuanming tightly to the ground, hugged Wu Yuanming's neck and cried, but the corners of her mouth showed a smug smile.

Zheng Xin didn't smile for long, because Hui'er suddenly stopped crying after running a short distance, slipped back to the room on tiptoe, glared at Wu Yuanming and asked gloomily: "Stinky big brother, tell me honestly, are you and this little vixen husband and wife?" Zheng Xin pressed Wu Yuanming's mouth with one hand, sat up in Wu Yuanming's arms and yelled at Hui'er: "Why didn't you become a husband and wife?" How else would I have his child? You stinky little girl, if you want to have no figure, you want to have no face, Brother Wu won't want you, get out of me! ”

"Hmph, you think I'm a three-year-old?" Hui'er sneered, "Stinky Big Brother and I have only been separated for more than a month, even if he and I are married to you on the night of separation, how do you know that you are pregnant with Big Stinky Brother's child for more than a month?" You want to pretend that the child with the stinky big brother deliberately gets angry with me, and then monopolizes the stinky big brother, right? ”

"Hui'er, you're so smart, I really don't have anything to do with her." Wu Yuanming, who was white, finally broke free from Zheng Xin's palm and explained with a smile. Zheng Xin stopped crying and stood up from Wu Yuanming's arms, and said coldly to Hui'er: "It's really cunning enough!" But listening to the tone, you seem to be a little Tartar, Brother Wu's ambition is to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty to expel the Tartars, you and him will not have results, go quickly, don't wait for me to kill the Tartars! ”

"Brother Wu is just anti-Mazi Emperor, although I am a Manchurian, but I want to help him, and he also promised to rescue my Ama and Eniang from Beijing in the future, I have a deep relationship with Brother Wu." Hui'er replied proudly. Zheng Xin was furious, gritted his teeth and said, "Little Tartar, you dare to fight with me?" Do you know who I am? My brother is the king of Yanping County, Taiwan, and I am the county lord of Yanping Palace, what kind of ...... are you? ”

"Whew!" Before Zheng Xin's boastful words were finished, Hui'er had already snorted disdainfully and sneered: "What is a broken county lord?" Do you know who I am? The granddaughter of the former Shoufu Sony, and the daughter of the current Shoufu Suo Etu, if it weren't for the fact that I liked Brother Wu to follow him out of Beijing, I would be the queen now! A broken county lord, I want your life if I move my eyelids! ”

"Queen? Hehe, just the way you look? Aren't you afraid to brag and flash your tongue? Brother Wu, do you think she's bragging? Zheng Xin was willing to believe there, and went to look at Wu Yuanming with a strange smile. Wu Yuanming nodded with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "You talk quietly, don't let others hear." Xinxin, Hui'er didn't brag, she did give up the position of the queen and go with me. Zheng Xin saw that Wu Yuanming's expression didn't seem to be fake, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and only after a while did he grit his teeth and say: "Stinky thief, you are so tight that even the Tartar Queen dares to run away!" ”

"Got it now? Stinky vixen, get out of the way, don't pester Brother Wu in the future, otherwise I won't be able to spare you! Hui'er triumphantly threatened Zheng Xin. Zheng Xin was furious, stretched out his hand and grabbed Hui'er's little face, and roared angrily: "Stinky Tartar, you can roll as far as I can!" Wu Yuanming was worried that Hui'er was not Zheng Xin's opponent for the little tigress, so he tried his best to stop Zheng Xin, who expected that when Zheng Xin's claws arrived, Hui'er suddenly dodged to one side, and grabbed Zheng Xin's wrist with his left foot, kicked Zheng Xin's supporting foot with his left foot, bent down and threw a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw to throw Zheng Xin out, and smashed it on the wall of the inn. only fell Zheng Xin, screaming again and again, "Stinky girl, you actually know how to wrestle with Mongolians?" ”

"Of course, I'm behind the door." Hui'er got a little carried away under her hands, Zheng Xin took the opportunity to hook her legs with a kick, hooked Hui'er on her back and faced the sky, Zheng Xin took the opportunity to pounce on Hui'er and ride on Hui'er to pinch Hui'er's neck, Hui'er was not to be outdone, and her backhand was also pinched on Zheng Xin's throat, and the two little girls pinched each other's necks like a red-eyed fighting, both sides were pinched and rolled their eyes, but no one refused to bow their heads and give in. was so anxious that Wu Yuanming couldn't wait to kneel down for them, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother's persuasion, "Hui'er, Xinxin, you two aunts and grandmothers don't fight, if you have something to say, I will feel distressed if any of you are injured." It's a pity that Wu Yuanming's words are almost like the wind in their ears to the two little girls who have already killed the red eyes, they are close, and Wu Yuanming was kicked away by Hui'er.

"The little girl Daiyan, I have seen Uncle Yao, please say hello to my uncle." Just when Hui'er and Zheng Xin were fighting, Dai Yan, who heard the voice, came out of the room not far away, because there was only Yao Qisheng in Wu Yuanming and his party, so Dai Yan immediately guessed his identity, so he couldn't wait to come over, and said hello to Yao Qisheng, who was watching the excitement outside. Yao Qisheng, who was watching the fight between his two future daughters-in-law, saw that there was another beautiful girl, and the title was so strange and intimate, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" Why do you call Hanako your uncle? ”

"The little girl Dai Yan is Wu Gongzi's ......." Dai Yan's face was flushed, and she wanted to talk about her relationship with Wu Yuanming. Unexpectedly, Hui'er and Zheng Xin, the two little girls, had already heard what she called Yao Qisheng just now, and they invariably let go of each other and jumped up, and both rushed in front of Yao Qisheng and Dai Yan, and asked Dai Yan viciously in unison: "What are you his?" Why is your name so strange? After the incident in Gaoyou County, Dai Yan's mind has become much more detailed, in the face of two little tigresses with teeth and claws, Dai Yan did not choose to fight hard, but fought back confidently: "I am a friend of Brother Wu, he saved my life, I call Brother Wu's father-in-law uncle, this is because of politeness and kindness, what's wrong with this?" ”

"Makes sense." Hui'er and Zheng Xin nodded together and squinted at each other, their eyes collided, and the two little girls immediately became angry again, gritting their teeth and starting to fight again. Dai Yan said again: "Enough, are you two polite?" Brother Wu's father-in-law is here, if you two don't give him a gift to the old man, forget it, and fight in the dark, since ancient times, the marriage of children is the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, if you two continue to fight, if Uncle Yao does not agree...... Hum! Speaking of this, Dai Yan quickly threw a wink at Wu Yuanming and chuckled: "Brother Wu, are you right?" ”

"Yes, that makes sense." Wu Yuanming saw that there was hope to stop Zheng Xin and Hui'er from beating each other, so there was reason to disagree. The two little girls who were already gearing up to start fighting heard this, and they quickly sorted out their clothes, and when they arrived in front of Yao Qisheng, one was more polite than the other, and the other was sweeter than the other, "Uncle Yao, please come in, Xin'er will pour you tea." "Uncle Yao, please take a seat, Hui'er will give you the old man's back."

"No need." Yao Qisheng smiled bitterly, pointed to the smashed room, and then pointed to the guests and shops who were alarmed by the sound of fighting and came to see the excitement and said, "Can there still be people living here?" Besides, the two of you just fought so hard, everyone here was woken up, and it was inconvenient to talk. Forget it, let's go to another inn to stay. ”

"It's all up to Uncle Yao." Zheng Xin and Hui'er both seemed to be different people, and they agreed with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. Yao Qisheng shook his head and smiled bitterly again, and instructed Wu Yuanming to settle the bill with the innkeeper and compensate for the broken furniture door, and then led everyone to find another inn to stay. Fortunately, Yangzhou City is still lively and prosperous at night, and a large group of people such as Wu Yuanming walked on the streets at night, but they still did not arouse suspicion, and they settled in a new inn very smoothly.

After opening the room, Zheng Xin and Hui'er still wanted to pester Wu Yuanming to drive each other away, Yao Qisheng strictly ordered the two of them to go back to the room to sleep, although the two little girls were unwilling, they didn't dare to offend Yao Qisheng, and the night was dark, they were indeed tired, and finally obediently went back to the room to rest - by the way, they thought about how to get rid of each other. Dai Yan wanted to take the opportunity to tell Yao Qisheng about her marriage to Wu Yuanming, but Yao Qisheng and Wu Yuanming had a lot to say that outsiders could not see, and at Yao Qisheng's request, Dai Yan still obediently went back to rest, as for Zhu Fangdan, he never left Lichun Courtyard at all. Soon, only he, Yao Qisheng, and Li Xiongfei were left in Wu Yuanming's room.

"Child, now that you have arrived in Yangzhou, who are you looking for in Jiangnan, can you tell your father-in-law now?" Yao Qisheng asked Wu Yuanming, "You always said that that person can decide whether your father's army can defeat the Tartars in the end, who is so powerful?" My father also traveled in Jiangnan for a period of time, so I may be able to help you provide some clues. ”

"I'm looking for that person named Dai Zi." Wu Yuanming said solemnly: "I only know that he is not very old now, he is in his twenties, and he lives in Jiangnan, but I don't know exactly where he lives in Jiangnan." Whether I can find him or not, to be honest, I don't know in my heart, but no matter how much time and cost it takes, I must find him! ”

"Dai Zi, haven't you heard of it? But since he's not very old, I shouldn't have heard of it. Yao Qisheng frowned. Li Xiongfei asked curiously: "Shizi, since you don't even know his details, how can you be sure that he can help the prince finally defeat the Tartar army?" To be honest, although the prince has been accumulating strength in Yunnan to recruit troops and horses, but Tartar has a horse breeding area in the north and a grain producing area in the Central Plains, and the prince is not sure of victory in his heart, so he still takes one step at a time. ”

"Because he can make a new type of musket, and if our army can be equipped with that kind of musket in large numbers, then the shape of war will be completely changed." Wu Yuanming said slowly: "He invented a new type of musket that does not need to be ignited to shoot, and does not need to be reloaded with additional ammunition every time it is fired, but can fire twenty-eight rounds in a row!" Think about it, if our army is armed with such muskets in large numbers, and thousands of muskets are fired at the Tartars' iron cavalry at the same time, and the Tartar cavalry, even if there are 108,000 of them, what is the difference between them and pigs and sheep to be slaughtered in front of such muskets? ”

"Twenty-eight rounds in a row? Is it possible? Is there such a musket in the world? Yao Qisheng and Li Xiongfei were dumbfounded, and at the same time they imagined such a picture in their minds - thousands of cavalry launched an overwhelming charge, blood and flesh splashed in the rain of lead bullets, and fell in pieces like wheat cutting, without any power to fight back! Thinking of this, Yao Qisheng held the mouse whisker and said solemnly: "If this Dai Zi can really make such a musket, then it will be worth it for us to find him no matter how much it costs." ”

"Yes, but I don't have any clues now, and Jiangnan is so big, I really don't know where to start." Wu Yuanming rubbed his head and sighed. Looking for someone who only knows his name in the vast sea of people, Yao Qisheng has no choice but to comfort Wu Yuanming and say: "Child, don't be discouraged, the emperor lives up to his wishes, as long as you work hard and don't give up, you will definitely have a chance to find him." In this way, let's put Dai Zi aside in advance, let's first figure out how to use Sun Tingling to rescue Gu Yanwu and them, Gu Yanwu and these people are all local snakes in Jiangnan, and they have a wide range of knowledge, maybe they can provide you with some clues. ”

"Yes, let's see how this cuckold king can help us." Wu Yuanming temporarily put away his thoughts about looking for Dai Zi, and began to think about how to use Sun Tingling, who had too many green hats to count......
