Chapter Twenty-Six: Snatching the Scriptures Again
The reason why I stayed was because I wanted to think about how to ask the Manchus for help.
In fact, it is not difficult to ask for help from the Manchus, on the one hand, the Manchus have long wanted to enter the Central Plains, and I can promise to cede land to them; On the other hand, if I can promise them to attack Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng on both sides, they will definitely be moved.
Of course, I will definitely not immediately send troops to attack Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, because I don't have this condition at all.
Thinking of this, I wrote a letter to the Tartar Emperor Shunzhi, and then asked Zhang Zhao to send it to Shengjing, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is now Shenyang.
After dealing with this, Zheng Chenggong began to arrange for me to go south.
For security reasons, he asked me to disguise myself as a civilian, and only a few cronies were on the road, while the ministers were escorted south by the official army.
In this way, I took Shuang'er, Chen Yuanyuan, Xia Wanchun and others and started my journey south.
Compared with the last escape from Beijing, this time it was much easier, because Wu Sangui focused on attacking the city and had no time to take care of us.
Soon, we escaped from the city of Nanjing, and then galloped wildly, detoured through Anhui, and entered Jiangxi.
Although there were no pursuers along the way, my mentality did not relax, buddy.
On the one hand, I want to plan how to recharge after moving the capital to Fuzhou; On the other hand, I am very worried about Zheng Chenggong and his thief king Zheng Zhilong.
You must know that history records that Zheng Zhilong is not a loyal minister.
After the Qing army broke through the small court in Nanjing, he supported a descendant of the Zhu family as the emperor in Fuzhou, and then Fuzhou was also breached, so he directly surrendered to the Manchu Qing.
If Zheng Zhilong is really as history says, then if I go to Fuzhou, it is very likely that I will face an emperor like King Fu.
Damn, it's so angry to think about it!
……
Because we were afraid that my identity would be exposed and that we would be killed, we didn't dare to stay in the inn at all along the way, so we either stayed in the homes of ordinary people or stayed in temples and Taoist temples.
That night, the group was tired and tired from the journey, and had just found a broken temple to live in, and was about to sleep, when at this moment, the gate of the broken temple slammed, and two agile figures rushed in.
Seeing this, I got up from the bed, thinking that it must be an assassin sent by Wu Sangui, so I was ready to tell Xia Wanchun to hurry up to meet the enemy.
Just when I was about to call Xia Wanchun, someone suddenly shouted at the door of the temple: "The two worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, why do you want to hide, do you want the little monk to burn this broken temple before you are willing to show up?" ”
Forehead......
What's going on?
Just as I hesitated, a group of monks dressed in lama robes walked in with torches, all with fierce faces.
"It doesn't seem to be Wu Sangui's person, scare Lao Tzu!" I cursed in my heart.
Suddenly, with a few whoosh sounds, several lamas fell to the ground.
"There's a hidden weapon!"
The leading lama shouted, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Stinky monk, we don't know each other, what do you want?"
In the corner of the temple, a woman's voice came out, and this woman spoke with a strong northeastern accent.
"Hahaha, although I don't know each other? But you and I had the same purpose in Yunnan before. Don't talk nonsense, hand over the scriptures, and spare you from dying! ”
I couldn't understand what these two groups were talking about, it felt like a grudge on TV.
"What the hell is the scripture, did you recognize the wrong person?" The woman with a northeastern accent replied.
"Recognize the wrong person, hum!"
As he spoke, the lama threw the torch into the corner, and the ruined temple burst into flames.
By the light of the fire, I saw a beautiful young woman with a sassy posture and towering breasts rushing out.
This beautiful young woman is at most thirty years old, she has a scimitar on her waist and brown boots under her feet, and she looks like a movie star Liu Tao.
Just as the beautiful young woman came out, a guy wearing a felt hat and a beard also came out.
But I never expected that this young woman would suddenly run into the room where I slept and knock my buddy directly to the ground.
Forehead......
Since I couldn't see anything, my buddy grabbed it, and I actually caught something that shouldn't be caught, and I just felt so soft.
"You ......," muttered a beautiful young woman with a northeastern accent.
"It's none of my business, you pounced on yourself." I said speechlessly.
As soon as the words fell, several lamas rushed in, making Lao Tzu so frightened that he crawled.
"It turns out that there are still people who answer, no wonder they hide in this broken temple!" The lama found me and said stupidly.
Before the lama could finish speaking, the beautiful young woman got into a fight with the lama, and the lama thought I was in a league with her, and grabbed me out of the house.
"Ah, master, don't kill me, I don't know them!"
I said in a panic, and then shouted, "Xiao Xia, you still don't do it!" ”
In this way, three groups of people fought and fought in the dark.
Dude, I am no match for them at all, I want to run, but I didn't expect to tripped a lama and fell to the ground as soon as I ran a step.
Just as I fell, the "Xuanhua Sutra" hidden in my clothes fell out at once.
"Ahh The leading lama shouted, "The scriptures are with you!" ”
Forehead......
What is the rhythm of this?
Wu Sangui wanted to ask me for a scripture before, but I didn't expect someone to come to grab it, and it was a group of Tibetan lamas.
After the leading lama said this, he ran towards me with a lunge, and leaned down to grab the scriptures.
Fortunately, Lao Tzu reacted quickly and took the first step to put the scriptures in his pocket.
"Xiao Xia, kill these lamas!" I took the book and shouted.
As soon as the words fell, Xia Wanchun slammed the brains of the leading lama with a fierce hammer, and died tragically on the ground.
Seeing that the leader was dead, the remaining little lamas turned pale with fright, and one of them said, "Hurry up!" ”
After speaking, a few miscellaneous pieces ran out, and when Xia Wanchun went to chase them, the people were gone.
......
Seeing that the lama was killed by my people, the beautiful young woman with a northeast accent arched her hand and said to me: "Little woman Qin Qing, thank you Gongzi for rescuing, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" ”
"I ...... My surname is Zheng. Seeing that the road is uneven, she draws a knife to help, Miss Qin doesn't need to thank you! ”
As I spoke, I took a closer look at her, and although she had just experienced a fierce battle, there was no fear on her face.
After saying these polite words, I asked her where she was from, and she said that she and the beard were both from the Han of Liaodong, and told me not to laugh at her northeastern accent.
As soon as she said this, I understood, isn't Liaodong today's Yingkou, Dalian, Jinzhou, these places, no wonder the Northeast accent is so strong.
After saying this, I asked again: "Since you are from the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, why did the lama just say that you went to Yunnan, and also said that you took the Xuanhua Sutra, what is going on?" ”
Yes, buddy is really getting more and more interested in this broken scripture book now, so I want to ask what is going on.
"Zheng Gongzi, we don't understand this matter at all. We are members of the Liaodong Heaven and Earth Society, and we went south to kill Wu Sangui, a traitor, and we have never been to Yunnan, let alone know any scriptures. ”
Hearing her say that, buddy, I was immediately excited.
You must know that when I was a child, I watched Mr. Jin Yong's "The Story of Deer and Ding", which wrote about the Tiandihui and Chen Jinnan, at that time I thought Jin Yong made it up, but I didn't expect that there was really such a group of loyal people.
I thought to myself that they were members of the Heaven and Earth Society, so I learned Wei Xiaobao's tone, raised my arms high, and shouted the code words of the Heaven and Earth Society: "Earthquake Gaogang, a vein of green mountains and eternal beauty!" ”
"The door faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for ten thousand years!" She immediately said the next sentence, and then asked, "It turns out that Zheng Gongzi is also a member of the Heaven and Earth Society!" ”
I smiled and arched my hand and said, "Oh, it's the person who is the helmsman of President Chen." By the way, Wu Sangui is in Nanjing, since you want to kill him, why did you come to Jiangxi? ”
"We were ordered by the helmsman of Chen to go south to follow Zuo Liangyu, the governor of Jiujiang, and go to Nanjing to kill Wu Sangui together.
After saying this, she asked again: "By the way, Zheng Gongzi, how can you have the scriptures that those lamas said?" ”
Since I still don't know whether the Heaven and Earth Society is loyal to me, I casually found a reason to prevaricate her.
They were worried that the lama would catch up, so they urged me to leave the ruined temple as soon as possible.
Originally, the group didn't want me to walk with them, but Qin Qing said that she knew that there was an inn in front of her, buddy, and I really didn't want to sleep in the open, and she was more enthusiastic, so I agreed to go to the inn with them.
Soon we were in the inn, and after a hurry I was ready to go to the latrine, and then went to bed.
As soon as I came out of the latrine, I saw Qin Qing's young woman standing alone in the corridor, as if waiting for something.
Seeing me coming, the young woman changed her rough northeast accent before, and said sweetly: "Zheng Gongzi, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't have time to thank you." Qin Qing wants to invite you to the room to drink a glass of turbid wine, I don't know if it's convenient or not! ”
A glass of cloudy wine? Lonely men and widows, what kind of trouble is this?
You must know that before the crossing, buddy heard many people say that Northeast women are very fierce in that aspect, but I have never had the opportunity to experience it, and now the beauty of this heaven and earth will take the initiative to invite, how can buddy not go.
"Okay!" I readily agreed.
After saying that, she took my hand and walked into her room.
