On the Zhuluan River, between the rippling blue waves and the white waves, a fleet of Baishi river boats is cleaving the waves against the current under the combined action of sails and oars.

In the sound of the trumpet paddling hard, Lin Shenhe, the resident steward from Dagang, Jiaozhou, stood on the deck of the first ship, hunting by the clothes blown by the river wind and looking thoughtfully into the distance, and sighed;

"In another day and night, we will be able to reach the vicinity of Jiaozhou."

"Brother, but I don't know what kind of person the void leader is. And can you accept our contributions? ”

And behind him, there was a woman dressed in men's clothes and with a complexion like wheat, looking slender but heroic, but it was difficult to hide the ups and downs and a faint sadness:

"Naturally, I can't promise anything, I can only say that I will do my best."

Hearing this, Lin Shenhe turned to the woman and said.

"But with my sister's life-saving and helping hand, I will try my best to keep you safe in front of the leader."

This woman is his newly recognized sister Li Siya, and she is also one of the important subordinates under the command of the "flower old" green lady who is on the run; She was originally the daughter of a boat family, and she was bought by the people controlled by Hua Lao since she was a child, as one of the important goods to be trained and sold.

It's just that she is still smart and intellectual, and she works hard, and among the same batch of women who were bought and sold, she was kept as a high-grade commodity with a certain value and potential to continue to cultivate, and then at the age of thirteen, she tried to attract the attention of the "flower old" who came to check the goods, and escaped the fate of being sold by others.

Then, she started as a rough little maid beside Hua Lao, and trembled and endured all kinds of hardships and punishments, and also experienced the ubiquitous intrigue among many of her peers; also saw many cruel things and encounters with his own eyes, and finally was able to stand out and become one of the most powerful female subordinates under Hua Lao with his own performance and efforts;

This was able to avoid most of the women of the same age who were eliminated, and were used as gifts of varying value to please and serve others; Or it is sent to the courtyard like a rare bird and finch with brocade clothes and jade food to feed, but in fact, he still lives a splendid cage life that is not at the mercy of others.

In the end, she also gained the closeness and trust of "Hua Lao" as a woman, and was able to take charge of some of the private and confidential things around her, and even appeared in public as a private representative; She was even given an official name, Li Siya, instead of being left with a nickname to greet guests in the rest of her life, like other female companions in her life.

She also lived up to the value and credibility of "Hua Lao", and soon let go to take charge of herself and made many achievements and achievements in the inland smuggling and transshipment business, and because of this, she practiced a good martial arts, and gathered and cultivated a group of capable subordinates.

Therefore, even if she appears in those occasions where many men are dominated by covetousness and evil thoughts, she can not show weakness in the-for-tat with them, or not fall behind in the conflict of interests; And Bo has the nickname of "Rouge Huer". Hua Lao also valued her more and more because of this, and began to treat her as a junior and a self-conscious person in his daily words.

Maybe she thought that her life could go on like this, and one day she could take further control of her own destiny. But one day, she suddenly found that she had been looking at her sister as a shadow, and she was trying to protect and secretly take care of the thrush who had unfortunately fallen into the dust; After being secretly sent away to entertain unidentified guests, only the ravaged corpse was secretly buried.

She began to fear and hate herself, the fate and consequences that she might suffer as a woman, and she began to have a distance and dislike for Hua Lao, who caused all this. Then, as if she was afraid of something, she finally began to encounter the scene she feared.

With the sudden arrival of the rebels from the sea, everything she was familiar with under the control of the "Five Elders" suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes and was completely wiped out; As the only surviving fruit, Li Siya, the "female proprietor" who had a legitimate water transportation business as a cover on the surface, was also arranged to deliberately approach Lin Shenhe, the person in charge of the volunteer army stationed in the port area, in order to spy on the news and seek more things.

Then what happened was a bit unexpected for her. The rather young Lin director did not show much coveting and admiration for her; After a few beautiful business contacts, it was more like appreciating Yiran's initiative to ask to marry her as a brother and sister; Then, she already had the heart to break away from the past, so it became a natural thing to secretly turn back.

Then, it was she who secretly took the lead to make people report the news, so that this Brother Lin Yi was able to gather a group of persistent people in the chaos of unknown circumstances; And after Hua Lao's plot completely failed, she personally arranged the route and ship to resend the culprit who fled secretly.

Despite this, Li Siya still can't help but be careful about her future prospects and encounters, because when Hua Lao pays her due fate for everything in the past, those who are still clean and legitimate, and many women who still want to make a living from it, have become a new responsibility that she can't bear;

She may be able to believe in this righteous brother who is a little too clean, but she doesn't have much confidence or hope in the righteous army general who is nicknamed "Ghost Monk" and "Shura Monk".

"You can rest assured, as long as it is a person who has been useful and contributed to the rebel army, and does not have too many bad deeds."

As if he felt his expression and psychology, Lin Shenhe comforted again.

"It is a general principle that the majority of the leaders do not hesitate to give some opportunities, both men and women,"

"You must know that the rebels also contain many women who have been pitiful and have nowhere to go."

"Now under the rule of the rebels, there is also a place for them to rely on their own efforts and abilities to support themselves."

"As long as you are sincere in finding a way out for those poor people, I think the army will not hesitate to open the net."

"Since my brother said so, then I can rest assured."

Li Siya was a little helpless and half-truthed.

"I just hope that the things that come from this ship can impress you a little bit."

"There's something up ahead. Float down. ”

At this moment, the sound of a lookout on the top of the ship was interrupted

"It's a raft with a lot of people sitting."

"Signal to the back, the guy on guard"

Lin Shenhe's face changed.

"Maybe it's going to be a fight on this water."

After all, now that the city of Jiaozhou is under attack, there are only two results for those who can float down this Zhuluan River; Either the rebel army failed and needed someone to collect and respond, or the official army was defeated and fled, then it should be intercepted.

。。。。。。。

After another half a day, only the fragments of the raft and the corpses of the drifting drift were left on the surface of the river.

Zeng Gon, who finally waded into the water and landed on the shore, finally followed a hundred and ten people desperately, and finally escaped the interception and pursuit from the river. And after running wildly inland without looking back, he finally stopped in a small village abandoned after a fire; Most of them were thirsty and tired, and they slumped to the ground like dead dogs, refusing to get up again.

And at this moment, Zeng Gon's so-called ambition and hope are as pale and ridiculous as the dew that has been pierced and dried; But he still did not give up, and encouraged himself and his subordinates to hope and promise as long as they could get out of danger.

Then, after they began to live and cook at night, they were soon re-alarmed by the banner of an officer and army who were chasing after them.

Under the reflection of the lit torch, Zeng Gon looked at the veteran who came to help with some surprise, it was Li Zhu, the deputy capital of Annan; It's just that his well-maintained beard on his chin has been bare from the smoke and fire, and it looks a little ridiculous; But Zeng Gon couldn't laugh at all.

"Although I don't approve of your actions, I can't do anything about it."

Li Ji sighed loudly.

"Now Jiaozhou is not guaranteed, not only is Annan big, but where is the old man to stay. And let me be loyal to the court with you at the last moment. ”

"Why did Gong Li say this?"

Zeng Gon couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart and stepped forward.

Then, the sudden screams from the rear shocked Zeng Gon again, and his subordinates were being caught off guard by the officers and soldiers brought by Li Ji to kill them on the spot, and there was almost no ability to backhand. And in the whirring, several ropes were also put on Zeng Gon's body at once, dragging him to the ground so hard that he couldn't even pull out the sword.

"I'm sorry."

And Li Zhuan's expression also changed to a certain guilt and determination.

"The old man still needs your life to exchange a way for my children and grandchildren." 8)
