Chapter 44: An Unexpected Reunion

Gan Yushu and Bai Zijin looked at each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After all, the population of the entire Huaxia is far more than the barbarians, but the barbarians are well prepared, and everyone can fight. Most of the Chinese side are ordinary people, coupled with the initial loss of culture, the practice of the imperial court has always been to defend the inside more than the outside, emphasizing literature over force, so it was caught off guard.

But if you really want to fight for consumption, the barbarians can't actually fight. Hundreds of thousands of men and horses were defeated, and for Huaxia, it was relatively simple to fill, but for the barbarians, it was still quite nerve-wracking to cut off more than 200,000 soldiers and horses this time and unexpectedly annihilated.

It is precisely because of this that in the short term, there is no need to worry about the possibility of the barbarian army moving south.

And if a series of riots can be successfully set off north of the Huang River, making the rear of the barbarian army unstable, it will definitely be a very headache for the barbarians. In addition, if we can really take advantage of the unstable foothold of the barbarians, re-establish the righteous army to resist the barbarians north of the Huanghe River, and then cooperate with the south to fight and settle the Central Plains in the north, it can be said that it is just around the corner.

"But that's only part of the reason why I'm going north this time," Ning Jiang continued, "As I said earlier, it's very likely that the Zoroastrian Venerable is from the Shura realm. And to be prepared to face a more powerful enemy in the future, you first need to know them, but this is not something that can be done by staying in the south. On the one hand, the living space of Xinmomen in the north is getting smaller and smaller, and I must use the power of the Heaven and Earth Society and more Jianghu knights to go north to help them. On the other hand, for some reason, conflicts between me and Zoroastrianism are unavoidable, and I am not one to sit idly by. Extinguishing the Flame Cult, helping the New Momen, building the Righteous Army, and figuring out what happened in the land of Yinchuan in the north, as well as the true origin of the Holy Phoenix and the internal situation in the Shura Realm, these are all things I must do. ”

Gan Yushu sighed: "Any of these things, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Bai Zijin said: "Brother Ning, what can we do for you?" ”

Ning Jiang said: "Taking advantage of this great defeat in Chacha, we will try our best to stabilize the situation in the south and ensure the further research and development of firearms in Longhu Mountain." Zijin, before launching a general attack on the barbarians, Bashu must be recaptured, and to recapture Bashu, you must rely on the Red Turban Army. Dragon Tiger Mountain will ensure that you have enough artillery and other firearms, and you will need to prepare for the rest. Brother Yushu, with the friendship between you and me, I am afraid that I will not trust you again in the future, but the independence of Longhushan and Nanjian Xuanwei Division must be guaranteed, and the imperial court will not be allowed to interfere too much. As soon as there are many people who interfere, all kinds of internal secrets will inevitably be leaked, and with the means of the Divine Book Sect, he may have already begun to study the various firearms that have appeared at present, which must be guarded against. Qin Ze will provide you with sufficient operating funds, and how to mediate between the imperial court and various forces can only depend on yourself. ”

Gan Yushu sighed: "Alas, I thought it was a drunken dreamer, but I didn't want to be running around and working hard!" You're really going to get me in trouble. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "You only mentioned Longhu Mountain and Nanjian Xuanwei Division, the Shenwu Left Army and the Water Master on the Long River......"

Ning Jiang said: "After that, they will completely obey the orders of the imperial court. After this war, if they wander away from the imperial court again, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will really not be able to sleep, and at present, the Son of Heaven is still the banner and righteousness of the entire China. Under the condition that they are willing to completely obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, and even accept the prison army sent by the imperial court, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely not be divided and scattered, after all, Jinshang also needs such an army to deter all kinds of soldiers and horses for him. Therefore, Zijin, your Red Turban Army must continue to maintain the posture of obeying the tone and not listening to the announcement, obeying the overall situation while disobeying the posture of the king, the Red Turban Army is like this, and the Broken Grain Army will naturally follow suit, which is also to preserve the Shenwu Left Army from the side. ”

Bai Zijin smiled: "This is naturally needless to say. ”

At this moment, the river is full of flower boats, and the lanterns are longing and colorful. In the past, Yuehu Lake was the place with the most flowers and boats, and now, this Fuchun River has become the Qinhuai in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ning Jiang got up and said, "It's rare to get together, anyway, it's okay, why don't we go to the boat and have a fun?" ”

Gan Yushu got up and said with a smile: "I have long had this meaning, I have been busy these days, and I finally have this opportunity, how can I not have a storm?" ”

Bai Zijin hurriedly said: "I won't go, if Sister Hong knows......"

Gan Yushu put his arm around his shoulders and said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, and Brother Ning Jiang won't say it, who will know?" Although your family's Red Witch is powerful, she is also far away in Mingshan at the moment, will she still kill here? ”

Ning Jiang shook his fan and said: "Zijin rest assured, the largest flower boat here is called Xieyue Tower." The owner of the oblique moon building, surnamed Qin Hongyun, was originally the first prostitute in Yuehu, and also used to move the capital, last year out of the lowly nationality, bought the oblique moon building, and now this oblique moon building has been opened all over the world, even the Central Plains and the north of the Huanghe River, there are her sub-boats. Hehe, even if the barbarians occupy the Central Plains, most of these Fengyue places are still retained. ”

Gan Yushu said: "Brother Ning Jiang's words seem to have ulterior motives. ”

Ning Jiang said in a low voice: "I can't hide it, this Qin Hongyun girl is also a member of the Heaven and Earth Society now. ”

Gan Yushu and Baizi Jin were suddenly. This kind of Fengyue place is not only the most effective place for news gathering, but also the easiest place to avoid the attention of barbarians today. Ningjiang went north this time, and the transmission of information between the north and south of the Huanghe River may only take this road.

Since this is the case, Bai Zijin did not refuse again. At that moment, they settled the bill together and went downstairs, came to the dock, and took the small boat left on the shore of the Leaning Moon Tower, and the boat was light under the moon, and approached the largest flower boat on the river.

The lights are bright and green, all kinds of shouting, and there are men's laughter and women's singing, which come layer upon layer. The three of them boarded the flower boat, and a woman had already greeted her with a smile, with a graceful posture and incense on her sleeves: "Ning Gongzi, long time no see!" ”

Ning Jiang held a fan and said, "Sister Hongyun, has business been good lately?" ”

Qin Hongyun said with a smile: "Thanks to my son's blessing, business has been booming recently. ”

Ning Jiang also smiled: "That's good, that's good!" He turned around and introduced: "Sister Hongyun, these two are Brother Gan and Brother Zi Jinxian, everyone is their own person, please take care of them in the future." ”

Qin Hongyun put her sleeves on her waist and saluted the two of them: "It's the slave family who wants to invite the two sons to patronize the Xieyue Tower more in the future, and if the two of them need anything in the future, just command." ”

Gan Yushu smiled: "Miss Hongyun is polite!" ”

Ning Jiang brought the two of them here, the main purpose was just to let them meet Qin Hongyun. When he went to the north, Baizijin returned to the southwest, and Gan Yushu was in Lin'an, Qin Hongyun's help was needed for news transmission and intelligence exchanges.

As for other things, there are a lot of people here, after all, it's not easy to talk about. After seeing it, I stopped by to take a stroll around the flower boat. Ning Jiang himself came to the Qinglou very little, and Bai Zijin was the first time to come. Gan Yushu is a veteran on the Fengyue field, talking and laughing with Qin Hongyun.

Qin Hongyun led the three of them in and arranged a good upstairs seat for them, so that they could enjoy the singing and dancing at the low level opposite, and they were not disturbed by people. At the same time as the wine and food were served, Gan Yushu said: "If there are any beautiful sisters in the building, please ask Sister Hongyun to introduce one or two." ”

Bai Zijin hurriedly said: "There is no need for this, just drink and chat......"

Qin Hongyun smiled and said, "Since you are here, how can there be any reason to just drink and chat?" Gan Gongzi's good reputation in this Fengyue field has long been heard of by the slave family. In the past few days, Sister Li'er, the pillar of Huahaolou, is also here, and most people want to invite her to accompany the wine, but they don't even think about it. Today, for the sake of Gan Gongzi's face, the slave family personally went to invite her to accompany Gan Gongzi. As for Ning Gongzi and Zijin Gongzi, although the two rarely come to this kind of place, they think that many of the girls' families on this Fengyue Field are actually good families who were forced to step into the smoke and dust after their families were ruined. Especially now, it is a chaotic era of war and chaos, and I don't know how many large families in the north have fled to the south and have been reduced to begging and prostitution. ”

continued: "Since the two of you have come here, you have asked the two girls to accompany you, and you have actually helped them. Here, they can still live, and they can barely live some fine clothes and food, if no one is favored and driven out, I don't know what will happen. Speaking of which, recently on my boat, there are also two new girls who are twenty-eight years old, who were originally the daughters and daughters-in-law of the eunuchs in the capital, and when the capital was attacked by the barbarians, they fled all the way and came to the south. ”

was said by her like this, and Baizi Jinzi couldn't refuse.

Gan Yushu smiled and said, "Sister Hongyun, I won't accept this." Gan used to linger on the Fengyue field, and he was indeed not a good man. Zijin is a good man, needless to say. But Brother Ning Jiang didn't say anything, why did he also treat Zijin as the same, and he needed Sister Hongyun to persuade him like this? ”

Ning Jiang shook his fan and smiled: "Alas, a good man like me and Zijin who takes care of the family, Brother Gan, you can't understand it." ”

Gan Yushu smiled and said: "Zijin is enough, Brother Ning, you dare to say that a guy who is merciful everywhere?" ”

Ning Jiang said: "Hey, you can eat indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense!" How can Xiaosheng show mercy everywhere? ”

Gan Yushu said: "For example, a missing first talented woman in the capital in Meiyutai, such as a little princess of the first emperor, such as ......"

Ning Jiang said: "Come on, drink, drink......"

A few people laughed, and at that moment, Qin Hongyun went to invite Zhao Li'er, the pillar of Huahaolou, down. This Zhao Li'er is also a well-known prostitute in Jiangnan, who is expensive and does not go downstairs when she is idle. But this kind of "reservedness" was originally a means of raising one's own value in this Fengyue field. At this moment, since Qin Hongyun, the owner of the building, personally invited him, he naturally knew that the person he was accompanying was extraordinary, so he was courteous and courteous, which made the atmosphere on the table very active.

After a while, Qin Wuyan smiled again, and brought two dressed girls to come: "Ning Gongzi, Zijin Gongzi, this is Miss Fu'er, this is Miss Xiu'er, they are all good girls from the capital, and the two of you should take pity on others." Fu'er, Xiu'er, Ning Gongzi and Zijin Gongzi are all nobles who can't be invited on weekdays, come, go and toast the two sons. ”

The two girls stepped forward attentively, and they were about to toast, but when they saw Ning Jiang and Bai Zijin, they were stunned again, and somehow, they were speechless.

As soon as Ning Jiang and Bai Zijin looked up, they were also a little stunned at this moment...... These two girls dressed up brightly and delicately turned out to be Lu Xifu, the daughter-in-law of Zheng An, the former doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and Zheng Xiuxiu.

I didn't expect to see Bai Zijin, who was engaged to him since he was a child, and was finally forced to withdraw from the marriage by his own family, Zheng Xiuxiu was stunned. Lu Xifu also looked at Bai Zijin and Ning Jiang, speechless......

***

The next atmosphere is actually a little weird, but since they have bumped into each other, in the face of such a situation, the people on both sides can obviously only pretend not to know each other.

Lu Xifu sat next to Ning Jiang, and Zheng Xiuxiu sat next to Bai Zijin. Seeing her toast Bai Zijin with her trembling little hands, almost with tears in her eyes, forced to smile and toast to Bai Zijin at the instigation of Qin Hongyun, at this moment, even Ning Jiang couldn't help but sympathize with her.

On the way, taking the opportunity to relieve himself, Ning Jiang pulled Qin Hongyun to the other side and said with a smile: "You did it on purpose, right?" ”

Qin Hongyun couldn't stop laughing, and said: "Don't blame me, the Zheng family has long been ruined, and the Lu family originally thought that it would be good to enjoy the shade by relying on the big tree of the Zheng family, so they moved to the capital, but they also fell with the Zheng family." When the city of Beijing was broken, they escaped from the city, and if it weren't for the fact that they still had some overlap with Childe, I would have helped them, and their fate would have been far worse than now. Now let them accompany you and Zijin Gongzi, just to let them know that their current blessings are all dependent on the two of you. Childe, you haven't seen the fate of those girls who were captured by the brutes, or who were captured by those gangsters during the escape south. If it weren't for the fact that I had seen the girls of the Lu family before and bought them from a gang with vicious methods, at this time, Mo said that they were just slaves and prostitutes, and it would be a question of whether they could survive intact. They themselves have seen with their own eyes the fate of those women who have been tortured to the point that life is worse than death, compared to those places, we are already blessed here. ”

Ning Jiang naturally knows that the so-called "prostitute" and "prostitute", among which "prostitute" and "prostitute" are still different. The status of "prostitutes" who mainly sell their talents and art is still much higher than that of "prostitutes", and they will win some fame in the future, and they will not have the opportunity to marry into a good family.

Of course, Ning Jiang didn't care about the life or death of the two of them, but when they met in this situation, they couldn't help but feel that God was making people. But this is actually not a providence to make people, it is purely Qin Hongyun's bad taste. At the moment, Ning Jiang didn't pay attention to this matter, but just explained to Qin Hongyun some details of the information exchange between him and Gan Yushu and Bai Zijin after he went north......
