Bai Jinxiu walked in from outside the gate, still dressed in white, and walked in a hurry.

Jiang Chuan greeted him, stood at the door and watched her walk towards him, and laughed: "You are always in such a hurry, with me, the sky can't fall." I haven't eaten yet, so I'll eat first. ”

Bai Jinxiu laughed, a trace of tiredness on her face seemed to dissipate in an instant, she looked into his eyes and nodded slightly.

Jiang Chuan smiled and stretched out his hand to her, she hesitated and stretched out her hand, and walked into the room with both hands holding hands.

Commanding the guards to bring water, she washed all the dust in the next room, and the whole person looked radiant and walked out in good spirits.

"If you are a real man, I am afraid that all the women in this world will be crazy about you." Jiang Chuan looked at her delicate and fair face and laughed.

Bai Jinxiu's face turned red, and she looked even more beautiful in the light that had just been lit. She glared at Jiang Chuan with disgust: "They are all people who are princes, and they are still speaking out of tune." ”

That being said, there was a sweet smile in his eyes.

"People have many identities in their lives, and they have different identities in front of different people on different occasions. People can achieve an identity, but they can't let it be shackled. In front of you, I am me, you are you, and everything else is vain. Although Jiang Chuan smiled, his tone was very serious.

Bai Jinxiu was a little surprised, she looked at him with wide eyes, as if she noticed something, but she only saw sincerity in his eyes.

But she is a smart woman after all, and she thought about it and said: "I heard about Liu Fangliang, he begged for benevolence, you loved and cherished talents, and you did what you wanted to do." As you just said, everyone has their own identity, and what they do must be worthy of their identity. What should be done is done, whether it is successful or not, it depends on the will of God. ”

Jiang Chuan was grateful in his heart, he knew that she was comforting himself, nodded and said seriously: "I didn't figure it out at first, but now I have figured it out." Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven. ”

Bai Jinxiu looked at him, and a trace of worry in his heart dissipated.

The guards served the meal, and the two ate together.

No one spoke during the meal, but Jiang Chuan took a few bites and looked up at her, only to find that she happened to be looking at herself, the eyes of the two met together, Bai Jinxiu's pretty face instantly turned crimson, and she hurriedly lowered her head and continued to pretend to eat.

This kind of scene has been played out before when I first met my girlfriend in college, and men and women in love can't wait to keep their eyes on each other's faces.

Since I came to this world, I have been thinking about conquest the most every day. It was rare to have such a warm and quiet moment, and even the two birds in the elm tree in the yard were no longer noisy.

After the two finished eating, they began to talk about business.

"I'm coming back this time for two main things. The first is to verify that the Dashun army did have a large amount of grain and grass in Jinan Prefecture, and that more grain and grass were transported from Wuzhou and Yuezhou through the canal. The defenders of Jinan Mansion were at least 50,000, and the defenders were Qin Huaiyi, a general under Li Zicheng. It is said that this person is entrusted with important tasks because of his cautious and meticulous actions. ”

Bai Jinxiu told Jiang Chuan what he had heard.

This news has actually been learned from the captive's mouth, and now that Bai Jinxiu says it, it is even more confirmed.

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the Dashun Army have any sailors, have you checked this?" ”

"It shouldn't be no, after I sneaked into Jinan Mansion with people, through various channels and methods, I didn't find any sign that Li Zicheng had a water master. All the grain requisitioned by the Dashun army from Jiangnan were civilian ships, and at most some soldiers were arranged on the ships to accompany them. And my guys, who spent three days on the dock as bag bearers, can confirm this. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "Since they don't have a water master, it is equivalent to becoming a turtle in an urn." When the time comes, our sailors will block the waterway, and the army will surround Jinan City, and they will be unable to escape. ”

Bai Jinxiu nodded, and after a moment of silence, continued: "Judging from the current few major battles, the Great Shun Army is indeed not a cause for concern. But on the other side, I think we have to guard against it. ”

Jiang Chuan's eyebrows moved, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean the widows?" ”

Bai Jinxiu nodded solemnly: "This is the second thing I want to tell you." This time, I met some refugees around Jinan Prefecture, and after inquiring, I learned that they had fled all the way from Yuezhou. The entire Yuezhou had already surrendered to the Dashun army. And the Dashun State did not have enough officials to manage these places, so the original Ming officials turned into Dashun officials again. ”

"But it didn't take long for the main force of the Dashun army to go north, and those who stayed to maintain the place were some of the original Daming local soldiers. As a result, within a few days of the Dashun army marching north, more than a dozen counties in the three prefectures of Yuezhou were attacked by the Japanese invaders. ”

"These thieves are fierce and cunning, and it is said that the artillery fire is fierce, and they are not afraid of death, and those local soldiers are no match at all. Moreover, once these robbers broke through the city, they would kill all the officials first, hang their corpses on the trees on the city walls for public display, and commit adultery and plunder, and do all kinds of evil. Many of the men of the captured cities were almost killed, and most of the women were taken captive by the scourge, including even young girls and old women. In addition, whenever they go to a place, they will definitely grab the treasury and granary first. ”

When Bai Jinxiu said this, his face was already covered with frost, his body was trembling, and he felt a little bit of gnashing of teeth, which was a manifestation of anger to the extreme.

She is a disciple of the White Cloud Sect, and the purpose of the White Cloud Sect is to kill the wicked people in the world, how can she not be angry when she hears about this kind of thing?

Jiang Chuan stretched out his right hand and gently held her little hand, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't let go of these widows." How much evil they have done, I will make them repay it tenfold and hundredfold. I ask you, do these pirates loot every city they breach, and then quickly withdraw, never defending the city? ”

Being held by Jiang Chuan's warm big hand, Bai Jinxiu gradually calmed down, she tried to stabilize her tone, nodded and said, "That's right, that's it." The people didn't know much, but I synthesized their information and came to the general conclusion that there were several of them. Their nests are all at sea, and each of their sorties comes by boat, and then quickly departs after a plague. By the time the encirclement and suppression soldiers mobilized from all over the country came, they had already withdrawn to the sea. ”
