Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, this is the news from Cui Dazhuang, he moved to Laizhou according to the emperor's instructions, and the people of Dengzhou totaled 600,000, but when they arrived in Changyi, they got the news from the fishermen: Kong Youde led 30,000 anti-thieves to land from the sea, and the vanguard had passed Yu'er Town and came straight to them. ”

Wang Jian was taken aback, Wang Jian sent Cui Dazhuang to relocate the people, and by the way, exterminated the homeless thieves on the road, and Cui Dazhuang was also very competitive, coupled with Confucius and Meng's strategy, the two complemented each other, exterminated Laizhou, Dengzhou bandits were innumerable, so that there were no more bandits in Erzhou. Wang Jian has also been sending people to monitor the movements of Haoge in the direction of Cangzhou at all times, but he didn't expect the disaster to come from the sea!

Wang Chengen said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Cui Dazhuang only has more than 3,000 people, I'm afraid that he won't be able to hold it, or he will send troops to help." ”

Reinforcements must be sent, but who to send is a problem, Haoge is ready to move, eyeing Jinan, Ma Miao's "Iron Blood Legion" must not move, Qin Yiming's "Zhennan Army" still has to deter the warlords in Jiangnan, and it can't move, and now only he is the commander of the light pole.

"Go and call Li Shi and Zu Dabi to me."

Wang Chengen took the order and left.

As soon as the two arrived, Wang Jian asked, "General Li, how is my musket battalion trained?" ”

Li Shi was a little confused, Wang Jian didn't care about his training on weekdays, why did he suddenly recruit himself urgently tonight and ask about the training? He replied: "Your Majesty, according to your orders, the firearms battalion is currently equipped with five hundred young thieves and one thousand and five three-eyed firearms, and the last generals are urging them to train day and night, and they must not relax for a moment, and now the soldiers can operate these weapons proficiently." ”

"Well, Kong Youde led 30,000 troops from the sea, and I want you to go out with me to crusade against the traitors, are you sure?" Wang Jian was only equipped with more than 2,000 firearms when he heard it, and the speed of replacement was far lower than his expectations, and he was also very helpless.

Zu Dabi had already been suffocated in Jinan City, and when he heard that there was a battle to fight, he was very excited: "Your Majesty, don't say that he is only a small 30,000 soldiers and horses, it is 100,000, and I will definitely call him to come and go!" He believed that since Kong Youde came from the sea, he would definitely not bring a lot of baggage horses, and his chariot battalion practiced new tactics every day, and it should not be a problem to exterminate a group of anti-thieves who had no ability to attack.

Li Shidao: "Your Majesty, Kong Youde is also an expert in firearms, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." ”

Zu Dabi was afraid that he would miss the hard-won opportunity to kill the enemy, so he glared at the bull's eye and said: "I'm afraid that he is a bird's egg, and his cannons will not hurt me with a single shot." ”

Wang Jian knew that they had all seen the power of the Hongyi cannon, even if Zu Dabi had the element of boasting, it should not be a lie.

Li Shi smiled: "It's too conservative." ”

Wang Jian saw that they were all confident, so he asked them to go back and prepare for the expedition tomorrow.

Wang Qianqian slept for a long time and had a nightmare and was scared awake, Wang Jian saw that she kept her head down and didn't speak for a long time, hugged her in his arms, and said, "What, are you worried about me?" ”

Qianqian said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, can you not go?" She hadn't seen the love of the young thief, and when she heard that Wang Jian only took 5,000 people to the expedition, how could she not worry.

Wang Jian kissed her forehead and said, "Fool, who will go if I don't go?" In this world, you are the only one who can share my worries, you guard Jinan City for me, if you don't understand, ask Zheng Yuqiao, if someone disagrees with you, you go to find your wife, and I will be back in two days. ”

Qianqian still shook her head, her eyes were filled with tears, she didn't know where she got the strength, she didn't let go of Wang Jian's waist band, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Jian's lower abdomen was cold. The battle of Jinan caused a shadow in her heart that year, and it still makes her feel palpitations, when she heard that Wang briefly drove the expedition, she was afraid that he would have an accident, how could she let him go?

Wang Jian picked her up, gently put her on the Hu bed, and said, "Good, don't worry, you sleep obediently, maybe when you wake up, I'll be back." ”

Although Wang Qianqian lay down obediently, she still grabbed Wang Jian's hand and didn't let go, Wang Jian had no choice, she told love words in her ear, and she didn't fall asleep until midnight.

Wang Jian saw that she was asleep, covered her with a cold quilt, and went straight to the barracks on the outskirts of the city.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he saw a beautiful thin figure under the moonlight, Wang Jian took a closer look, and saw that Li'er was practicing martial arts on a big stone, and no one in the nearby soldiers dared to approach.

Li'er also found Wang Jian, she glanced at Wang Jian coldly, her expression was very similar to Chen Yuanyuan, she still remembers how Wang Jian bullied her when they met for the first time, and left her under the scorching sun for a long time.

Wang Jian was swept away by her eyes, and her heart was excited: This chick is quite resentful. He said with a haha: "What about martial arts? What a hard worker, good boy, you're busy... You're busy—" After saying that, he walked briskly towards the main tent of Ma Concubine.

At this time, Ma Mi heard a report from her subordinates that the emperor was coming and greeted her, which also made Li'er's thoughts of beating Wang Jian violently frustrated.

Inside the big tent.

Ma Xiaomei lay comfortably in Wang Jian's arms and asked, "Brother Jian, I heard that you are going to go on the expedition in person?" The news of Wang's brief expedition naturally could not be concealed from her, the commander of the "Iron and Blood Corps".

"Well, I'm afraid that something will happen to Cui Dazhuang, so I'll take Li Shi to Changyi City tomorrow."

Ma Yanmei stuck to Wang Jian's chest, listening to his heartbeat, she was not like shallow, and she didn't cry, but just told Wang Jian to be careful on the road, and prepared military supplies and war horses for him overnight.

Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and Li Shi and Zu Dabi had already led the 5,000 people of the infantry battalion to assemble.

Before the army left, Wang Jian saw Li'er who got up early in the morning to practice martial arts on the stone, and he shouted: "Hey, Li'er, it's not me who said you, it's useless for you to practice like this, strong martial arts can only be practiced through life-and-death battles on the battlefield, are you interested in going out with me?" ”

Li Er listened to Wang Jian's words, and thought about it, now in the barracks, except for Zu Dabi and Li Shi and others, she can no longer find an opponent, and the reason why the martial arts of those two people are so strong is that they are indeed practiced in the pile of dead people, as Wang Jian said. She jumped slightly, kicked off the horse with one of Wang Jian's personal soldiers, and rode up herself. Wang Jian also entered his iconic yellow carriage, where the two sisters, Yao'er and Qi'er, were already waiting, and the army turned in a circle, entered through the south gate of Jinan City, and then crossed Jinan City, and set off from the north gate towards Changyi City.

When the people in the city heard that the emperor was on a personal expedition, they all ran out early in the morning, and the streets were full of people on both sides.

In a side room on the second floor of the guest building, a masked girl in a blue robe, she stared coldly at the yellow carriage pulled by eight horses outside the window, in addition to being larger than ordinary carriages, what was even more peculiar was that there was a huge cannon on the roof.

The girl in Tsing Yi pinched a trick: "Vacuum hometown, the Mother of Life." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi turned her head to look at Liang Si, lightly opened her lips and said: "The following is the question of the Holy Mother, if you have half a lie, you will be devoured by ten thousand ghosts and die, and you will die in eighteen layers of hell!" ”

When businessman Liang Si heard this, he immediately knelt aside to listen to the training.

"Our Lady asks you, is that the cannon named Bubble Dragon that you reported last time?" She really couldn't understand how the imposing artifact could have such a "rotten" name.

Liang Si replied: "Back to the Holy Mother, this is an artifact, it is said that once this weapon fires, the power is extraordinary, and it has the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, just like the power of heaven descends to earth." ”

The girl in green clothes nodded, she came to Jinan City for a few days, and every day she heard the earth-shattering loud noise in the valley in the south, knowing that what Liang Si said was true, she also disguised herself and wanted to sneak in and spy on one or two, but the entire Lishan was extremely tightly guarded, making her return several times in vain.

"Our Lady asks again, what is the matter with the love of the young thief?" The first time the virgin in the girl's mouth heard that the young thief loved this kind of name, at first she thought it was a perverted bad taste, or Liang Si's disrespect to her, so she sent the girl to investigate.

"Back to Our Lady, this young thief's love is also a kind of long-poleed firearm, which is said to be a hundred times more powerful than a good bow and a strong crossbow."

The girl in Tsing Yi nodded clearly: "Okay, after asking, you can get up." ”

Liang Si was relieved at this time, and he flattered: "The master of the Liu Hall has worked hard all the way, and his subordinates have prepared thin wine..."

The girl in Tsing Yi didn't appreciate it, she said coldly: "Hmph, Our Lady ordered you to get a bubble dragon, even if it costs a lot of money, how do you do it?!" ”

Liang Sidao: "Liu Hall Master Mingjian, his subordinates did buy off a few guards, but the bubble dragon is too heavy, and the number is clear, if there is one missing, it is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, even if the subordinates spend more silver, no one dares to steal it." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi sneered: "You can't do things well, you can't buy a bubble dragon, but you privately spent 600,000 taels to buy a broken wine glass!" ”

Liang Si's cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and quickly kowtowed: "Ask the hall master to be merciful." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that you had a lot of credit to my Holy Sect in the past, you would have let your head fall to the ground a long time ago!" She thought for a moment and said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." The matter of the bubble dragon is put aside for the time being, and the young thief loves to get a handful! ”

"Ahh Liang Si screamed bitterly in his heart, this young thief is not easy to love, last time I heard the soldiers in the barracks say that two soldiers fired two shots because of indiscriminate, one was beaten with a military stick and the other was cut off on the spot.

The girl in Tsing Yi looked at Liang Si's sad face, and said coldly: "What, you can't do this?" ”

Liang Si wanted to die, and he muttered: "Liu... Liu Hall Master, this young thief is also extremely closely guarded, and his subordinates are afraid that it is..."

The girl in Tsing Yi said angrily: "What's the use of you! After speaking, the corners of his clothes floated without wind, and he was about to slash Liang Siyi to death.

Liang Si hurriedly said: "Hall Master Liu, although my subordinates can't get the love of young thieves, but my subordinates can get people who can make medicinal fire!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi withdrew her jade palm and asked, "Oh? ”

Liang Si escaped death, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "My subordinates learned that the trigger of this young thief's love is all due to a kind of medicine fire, and the formula of this medicine fire is in the hands of one person. ”

"Hmph, then I want you to say, I'll send someone to catch a few craftsmen, what kind of formula do you want."

"Lord Liu doesn't know, this recipe is said to have been asked from the Tianshan Mountain of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is made by dozens of workshops, and each workshop is only responsible for one process, even if you catch a certain craftsman, there is no way to know."

"You said that each workshop is responsible for a process, and I will arrest them all, isn't it?"

"But if you catch a craftsman, you'll be scared, and I'm afraid it's even harder to get the formula."

The girl in Tsing Yi was right when she thought about it, and she asked, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Hall Master Liu, my subordinates know who the person who took the medicine fire formula from Tianshan is."

"Who?"

"Wang Jian!"

"Who is Wang Jian?"

"A young man, very much Chongzhen Lao'er's respect, his subordinates have had several relationships with him, and he looks dignified, I wanted him to join the family, and he was attracted to my holy religion, I don't want to even if it is his subordinate Wanguan's family wealth, he is unmoved, maybe it is Chongzhen Lao'er's rabbit master." Liang Si arranged the road.

A hint of disgust flashed in the eyes of the girl in Tsing Yi, presumably she also knew what the rabbit master meant.

"Look, the emperor is here!"

"Where, where?"

"Stupid, that's the one in the yellow carriage."

"Really! I'm not dreaming, am I? Countless cheers came and went, as well as the screams of countless young girls and young women.

Wang Jian heard cheers in the carriage, he felt that his life had reached the peak, he excitedly opened the curtain and kept waving to the people outside.

The girl in Tsing Yi looked at the stinky emperor with disgust, where would she have thought that the Chongzhen Emperor in front of her and the rabbit master in Liang Si's mouth were actually one person.

Li'er, who was riding a horse on the side, was also curious to look at everything around her, and suddenly, her eyes swept through the small window on the second floor of the guest building, and the girl in Tsing Yi quickly withdrew her gaze: What a clever girl, even a trace of my murderous intent can be detected.
