Regarding the ship of Birthday Gang that left early, Zhou Pei has been thinking about it in his heart for half a day. She peeked at the second floor of the courtyard on Master Li's side before, and some people came to the Qinglou, but later found that there was no unsightly scene, so she left the courtyard and wandered around, and then saw Su Yanping who came to summon the news.

These days, she has seen Su Wenyu and Su Yanping, and Zhilu Dao is the "own person" sent by the Su family to follow Ning Yi's experience, and the matter of the Birth Gang naturally makes them follow Wenren to learn experience. Seeing him hurriedly running to find Ning Yi, he knew that something had happened to Lu Dao, and hurriedly stopped and asked, this matter is not too much of a secret, not to mention that Su Yanping knew the identity of the girl in Lu Dao, and after saying it, Zhou Pei shouted: "Follow me." Then he rushed to Ning Yi's side, only to find that Su Yanping had not been able to keep up.

It turned out that although the environment in the West Garden was not complicated, there were more people in the past few days, and Zhou Pei was running around excitedly in it, naturally no one dared to stop him, but Su Yanping accidentally knocked a son of an official eunuch to the ground. At this time, most of the men in the West Garden were accompanied by women, and this time they lost face, so the man stopped Su Yanping, Zhou Pei ran away in a hurry, and he didn't find it, until Ning Yi and the others rushed out, Zhou Pei returned along the same road, glared at the man who was looking for trouble, and ran away in a gloomy manner. After some inquiry, Zhou Pei probably knew what happened to Lu Dao.

The total number of bandits who started in Hongze Lake this time was nearly 1,000, and the number of sailors who participated in the battle on the side of the official ship was close to 300, accounting for about three-fifths of the soldiers who went north with the ship this time. Three hundred to one thousand, originally it was a hard battle, but the bandits came to rob the money, and attacked the main ship in the first time, only to find out that they had been fooled. There were boxes of stones or gunpowder on board, followed by explosions that spread throughout the hull.

The water bandits themselves are a rabble, and this time the desperate robbery of the Birthday Gang is already a great burden. If it can be robbed, it will be famous and have the capital for development. But I saw the ship being bombed. The sailors swept in with shouts "You have been fooled". The situation is completely one-sided.

This is not such a sophisticated strategy, the most important thing is to exchange more than a hundred manor guards and shop men who can be mobilized by the Princess Mansion of Chengguo with the sailors. This time, Chen Jingui escorted the Shengchengang, and the 500 soldiers he brought with him were still regular sailors after all, and in the case that they were not against the Shangjin or Liao people, they still had internal combat effectiveness. The bandits originally expected to face an army of more than 100 at most, but the number was miscalculated, and they were found to be deceived. It quickly lost its will to fight, and it became a one-sided harvest situation.

Before Su Yanping rushed back to report the news, it was said that many of the bandits' boats had been broken, and some of the bandits jumped into the lake to escape, but were pulled by the army's boats and fished over, and those who resisted were killed with a knife, in the heavy rain. Blood-stained Huze Lake.

Ning Yi was not surprised that the battle would be won, but it was a little strange that someone really had the idea of fighting the Birth Gang. However, Zhou Pei listened to it with relish, and remembered what she had been worried about since yesterday, what she said to Ning Yi was that those guards and guys didn't know how to fight water battles at all, and although there were more people on the boat, it didn't mean anything at all. She was anxious for a morning, but she didn't expect Ning Yi to solve the matter with a simple change.

Chen Jingui wants to find the little marquis. There have to be enough people on hand. But the sailors are not local to Xuyi, but those who are guarded by the courtyard and the men are the best to find people.

When I was talking excitedly. More news has also come from the north, and many people's families and entourages have rushed to Xiyuan to report about the victory over the water bandits on Hongze Lake. The atmosphere of the entire Xiyuan suddenly became warm, although this matter has little to do with them, but being here, it feels like everyone is involved.

Three hundred wins one thousand, in the eyes of the people of the Wu Dynasty, who were in a mess in the north and still in a stalemate in the south, it was really a commendable victory. He also said that if there were generals like Vice General Chen in the north, it would not have been like this, and it would all be incompetent people who mistook our dynasty and so on. can have such an evaluation, after this incident, Chen Jingui will probably be promoted.

Ning Yi and the others separated from Master Li shortly after the news came, and when the Xiyuan was in an uproar, Master Li had to hear a lot of news. She usually has a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries, and when a group of people get together, they love to talk about current affairs, and at this time, they also know that the impact of this matter will not be small. I remembered that when the incident first happened before, the man of the Su family and the girl just excitedly told Ning Yi about it...... What does this have to do with him? After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out.

Ning Yi glanced at the man named Wang Xian from a distance.

In the crowd, this man was long and handsome, which made him can't help but think of a very beautiful and beautiful man who went to Yangzhou after Yuan Jin'er said in the past. This man's appearance is really beautiful to a certain extent, his beauty is neutral, not too handsome and tough, nor feminine, his demeanor and conversation are neither humble nor arrogant, and he should deal with it decently. Several of the surrounding eunuchs obviously regarded him as a confidant.

It could be Yanqing......

said that his surname is Wang, that is, he has the same surname as Master Li, since Yan Qing is nicknamed the prodigal son, the things in Qinglou must be very powerful, and the degree of handsomeness is reasonable, it is exactly the most admired kind of appearance in this era, and he has to go north with the ship......

"Isn't that ......?"

On the carriage back, Ning Yi looked at the heavy rain outside and muttered. Zhou Pei was still intoxicated with his previous plan, and when he saw Ning Yi speak, he poked his head over: "What, what?" Teacher? ”

"It's okay...... It's possible to think too much......" Ning Yi muttered to himself, and then said with a smile, "After I go back, I want to change ships...... Switch to the back one. ”

"Huh?"

****************

News of the battle on the lake to the north came one after another from afternoon to evening. After the first big victory, the officers and soldiers began to chase after the water bandits along the escape route, and they wanted to wipe out the other party - this is Chen Jingui's order, if it is said that it is these water bandits who kidnap the little marquis, and only by killing them in this way can they be rescued.

As for the bandits captured after the first battle, another team of soldiers was sent to escort them back until night. I also arrived at Xuyi. Xuyi County did not dare to take credit for this incident. But Chen Jingui will naturally share a little bit with each other. As for the ship that was blown up, it was nothing in the face of such a big victory.

The wreckage of the boat was still floating on the lake, and the fishing lanterns were floating on the lake, salvaging corpses that could be used as evidence of merit, and the night was darkened by the rain. An inn not far from Hongze Lake was full of businessmen. In one of the rooms, Zhu Wu and the others looked at the faint fishing fire in the distance through the window, and there was a chaotic voice in the inn, and after a while, a man wearing a robe and a new bandage on his arm came in from outside the door. He turned his head around: "Brother Zhang, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a small injury, then Qin Weihong's eyes saw that it was me, and he resisted a little more fiercely, and the government was very prepared this time, and a row of fishing nets was fished over, and I was not very easy to dodge. There are officers and soldiers on the shore. So I swam towards the lake for a while. It took a circle to dare to come back. ”

"Have you killed most of them?"

Zhu Wu asked this, and someone laughed: "Brother Zhang Shun's nickname is Baitiao in the waves." Who else can escape the people who are going to be killed in the water, not to mention that even if they are not killed, what can the government ask about it......"

Zhang Shun said: "A few were shot dead by officers and soldiers on the boat, and I can't say very clearly. ”

Zhu Wu frowned: "Although clues have also been arranged for the government to check the wrong place, but ...... It seems that there are people over there who are good at strategizing, and they are afraid of being seen. ”

A person next to him said: "Qin Weihong's side knows that there are only so many of us, but if you want to cover up all of them, I don't think it's possible." However, even if there were a few Fang Layu sins in Zhilu Dao who were obstructing them, how much energy they had to check. It's what the brother of the Zhu family said is good at strategizing, I think it's simple, Qin Weihong's side is originally a guy who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and he sent three hundred sailors to accompany him, which is the only trick he plays, if it were me, it would be like this......"

Zhu Wu frowned, then shook his head with a smile: "It's not simple, because we are afraid of startling the snake, we didn't send anyone to find out the information." Qin Weihong couldn't rest assured, so they arranged for the fine work to perform on the dock in the troupe. I heard that the deputy general there quarreled with the steward and made a fuss, and later moved things in a good way, Qin Weihong was deceived because of this. He arranged for gunpowder to be on that big ship, and would rather blow up the ship as soon as possible to make the other party feel that he had lost all his money, and what should be arranged and calculated has been calculated, but this is not the most important ......"

He paused: "The most important thing is that Vice General Chen should have been unwilling to support this matter, and this is true. He couldn't bear the consequences of the little marquis's accident, and if he wanted him to let go, he wanted his life. The most feared thing about people in the government is that everyone has their own responsibilities, and at the end of the day, everyone can't do anything. The man behind the plot was able to convince him in such a short time and screw everyone in one direction, which is what he is most capable of. Fighting, in fact, there is nothing difficult, I have done all aspects of this military book, just press it, I originally wanted to see them tied up with each other, even if this battle can be won, it is a miserable victory, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, they were unanimous to the outside, this person's means are not simple, and those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits......"

Hearing him say this, everyone was silent for a moment, and Zhang Shun smiled: "If this person is really so powerful, you might as well think of a way to force him to go up the mountain and earn him a fortune......"

"I don't know who Lu Dao is."

"When Xiao Yi finds out, he will know the way, let's see when the time comes......"

"Could it be that Chen Jingui secretly planned it, and he himself convinced himself that there would be no problem."

Everyone talked for a while, and Zhu Wu shook his head: "It's probably not big, we have also inquired about Chen Jingui's temperament before...... However, this person was able to reconcile the relationship between the two parties and directly make the decision to blow up the ship. In my opinion, this person must have a transcendent status, and he is either rich or expensive, I am afraid that among those rich sons on the ship, there are powerful people who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers...... There's one such person behind them, and I'm always uneasy ...... in my heart" (To be continued.) )
