"What!?" Hearing this, the White Lotus Sect Leader changed his complexion and said, "There is such a thing? ”

Bian Yujing asked, "Master, could this rumor be spread by General Li and them?" ”

"No, it won't." The White Lotus Sect Leader said categorically, "Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong don't have the courage to do this, this must have been done by Wang Pu, what a Wang Pu, he is trying to disintegrate the Holy Sect without blood." ”

"General Wang?" Bian Yujing said, "How could General Wang go to Chuzhou and Hezhou to spread rumors?" ”

The White Lotus Sect Leader said: "I'm afraid that there are people in the Holy Army of Guardians who have already mixed in with Wang Pu, as well as that monk. ”

"Monk? Master, this is impossible. Bian Yujing said, "General Monk is a rough man, he has no scheming at all. ”

"That's not for sure." The White Lotus Sect Leader said in a condensed voice, "Fortunately, in a few days, Wang Pu will escort a batch of muskets to Chuzhou, and when you arrive in Chuzhou, you will slowly clean up Wang Pu, Yu'er, you will leave the city early tomorrow morning, rush to Hezhou as quickly as possible, and order the general and the second general to return to Chuzhou immediately." ”

■■■

Two days later, Chuzhou Daying.

Liu Badao, who stayed in Chuzhou, was drinking with Monk Zhang in a big bowl, and after a few bowls of old wine, Monk Zhang's words gradually increased, shaking out all the old bottoms when he was a horse thief in Datong, and even the romance when he was cheating with the widow Xiaofeng also said a lot.

Liu Badao was happy in his heart, but his face was silent, and he continued to persuade him: "Monk, although you are an official and a subordinate of Wang Pu, and my brother and I are a thief, but no matter what, you used to be a person on the road, today we don't talk about state affairs, only about Fengyue, hehe, only about women......"

"Uh...... Woman? Monk Zhang snorted, heheyin smiled, "If you want to talk about women, it is still our Mrs. Chen and your White Lotus Sect Leader who are the most seductive, especially your sect leader, that style, that figure, hehe, I have never seen such a seductive person in my monk's life for most of my life." ”

"Monk, have you really seen our sect leader?"

"Nonsense." Monk Zhang waved his hand and said, "I won't tell you, Brother Badao, I have seen all your sect leader's big ass brothers, at that time, our Yanziji camp had not yet been built, and my general temporarily settled your sect leader in the bamboo shed in the backyard, covering the bamboo shed There is a crack in the middle of the bamboo mat, that night brother I happened to be in a hurry at night, hehe......"

Liu Badao said hurriedly: "How is it?" ”

Monk Zhang's eyes were silver, and he said in a low voice: "There is a light in the bamboo shed, what can you guess I see through the gap?" ”

Liu Badao said: "What did you see?" ”

Monk Zhang said: "My general is sitting naked on a chair, your sect leader is naked and riding on his waist, grandma's, brother, I saw your sect leader's snow-white big ass twisting on our general's waist, Lao Tzu was on fire at that time, and after going back, he and Xiaofeng worked for two hours before defeating the fire." ”

Liu Badao secretly said: "What you said is true? ”

Monk Zhang said drunken eyes: "If you don't believe it, pull it down." ”

"Faith." Liu Badao hurriedly said, "Of course I believe it, brother." ”

Monk Zhang drank another bowl of wine, wiped his mouth with unfinished meaning, and said, "Uh...... It's not getting early, brother, I should go back...... Returned to camp. ”

Saying that, Monk Zhang stood up, not wanting to fall to the ground without stumbling under his feet, it seemed that he had drunk too much.

Liu Badao hurriedly said: "Come on, send the monk brother back to the account." ”

Two White Lotus thieves had already rushed into the tent to help Monk Zhang, and Monk Zhang pushed the two thieves away, and said unhappily: "Let's go...... Go away, Lao Tzu didn't ...... If you're not drunk, Lao Tzu can ...... Able to walk ......."

The words fell, and Monk Zhang fell to the ground again.

Liu Badao waved his hand and motioned to the two White Lotus thieves to take Monk Zhang out.

A thief-eyed thief soldier entered the camp tent, leaned over to Liu Badao and whispered: "Third general, today I finally got the words out of this guy's mouth, I really didn't expect that the sect leader had really become Wang Pu's confiner!" ”

"It's hard to say whether the sect leader has become Wang Pu's confiner." Liu Badao said in a deep voice, "After all, this is just Monk Zhang's words, this guy is addicted to alcohol, and he has no brains, or he may have recognized the wrong person and regarded other women as the sect leader, in short, he will know the truth when the brother sent to Nanjing comes back." ”

"Report the ......" As soon as the words fell, a thief soldier entered the tent and said, "Three generals, the two leaders sent to Nanjing have returned. ”

"The fifth and sixth are back?" Liu Badao said happily, "Invite them in." ”

The thieves took the order, and soon led the two men in brocade clothes into the big tent, and the two men in brocade clasped their fists at Liu Badao and said, "See the three generals for your subordinates." ”

"The fifth, the sixth." Liu Badao stepped forward and held the hands of the two affectionately, and said happily, "You have worked hard." ”

The two men in brocade said: "The subordinates are not hard. ”

"How?" Liu Badao asked, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”

One of the brocade-clothed men said: "Three generals, the two personal maids of the sect leader, oh, they are the two Jiannu women rescued by Jining, they have now become strippers in the fairyland, and the subordinates think that this is enough to explain the problem, the sect leader must have become Wang Pu's people." ”

Liu Badao frowned and said, "Wonderland? What Wonderland? ”

Another man in brocade said: "It is a Ji Yuan opened by Wang Pu on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and you can take a bath in it, and there are a lot of tricks, but you do enjoy it." ”

The little leader with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes said: "Third general, it seems that this matter is undoubted. ”

Liu Badao thought for a while and said, "Liu Banxian." ”

The little leader with the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes said: "The subordinates are here." ”

Liu Badao said: "You rushed to Hezhou overnight and told the two generals everything that happened here." ”

"Subordinates receive orders."

The little leader said yes and took the order.

■■■

Nanjing, Swallow Rock Xingyuan.

Fifty carts were ready to go, Wang Pu looked back at the White Lotus Sect Master who was dressed as a soldier beside him, and said softly: "Good sister, in addition to 500 muskets, 50,000 rounds of paper shell bullets, and 5,000 Dragon King cannons, the materials transported to Chuzhou this time also have 2,000 stone of grain, how about it, the little brother has not broken his promise, right?" ”

The White Lotus Sect Master glanced at Wang Pu charmingly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Good brother, how can you thank you from your sister, huh?" ”

Wang Pu said with a low smile: "The little brother has no other luxury, just want to go to Chuzhou, and my sister doesn't put the little brother under house arrest." ”

The White Lotus Sect Leader said in a flattering voice: "What if my sister really puts you under house arrest, what will you do?" ”

"Well, what else can be done?" Wang Pu spread his hands and said helplessly, "That little brother can only be sad, but the little brother believes that you won't do this, sister." ”

"Yo." The White Lotus Sect Leader sneered, "You're so confident? ”

"General" Lu Liu hurriedly walked in front of Wang Pu and said loudly, "The convoy is ready. ”

"Okay." Wang Pu waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's go!" ”

■■■

Yanjing, the Forbidden City Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen was walking in the company of Wang Chengen, and suddenly a little eunuch hurriedly came to Wang Chengen's ear and whispered a few words.

Emperor Chongzhen happened to be tired of walking, so he sat down on the water pavilion and asked, "Chengen, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Long live Lord, this is such a thing, just now Zhang Zi'an, the eunuch guarding Nanjing Town, sent a secret report, saying that the two Jiannu women who disappeared in Jining have appeared again. ”

"Really?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about the two Jiannu women, and asked casually, "Where are they now?" ”

"Nanjing." Wang Chengen said, "And it has become a prostitute in the fairyland." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned and said, "Wonderland? ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "Long live the Lord, this free fairyland is the Goolan Courtyard run by the master of the horse, Zhang Zi'an slave maid wrote that the two slave women have now become a cash cow in the hands of the master of the horse, and they can earn enough five thousand taels of silver for the master of the horse in one night." ”

"Hehe, this is also human nature." Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "After all, these two Jiannu women are the concubines of the slave chief, although they are savages, their status is not noble, but don't those romantic brokers just want to be fresh and beautiful?" They don't feel sorry for the silver, but ...... This Wang Pu is really a good way to make money. ”

Wang Chengen said: "Long live the master, the slave and maid are worried, will the master of the horse do this to anger the Jiannu and the Mongols?" If they retaliate, it will be a big deal. ”

"Anger the Jiannu and the Mongols?" Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently, "Chengen, you are too worried, your worry is completely unnecessary." ”

Wang Chengen said: "The slave is dull, and please teach the master of long live." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "The Mongols are now the slaves of Jiannu, needless to say, Jiannu is completely savage, they don't know what etiquette at all, women are property for them, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies, it is commonplace, so they will not move the people for the sake of two women." ”

What Emperor Chongzhen said was completely true, the Jiannu at that time was actually still in a slave society, just like the savages, and the status of women in the Jiannu tribe was very low, and they were snatched by men as trophies, or inherited as property, which was commonplace, and it was not worth making a fuss about at all.

For example, Nurhachi's eldest concubine Yan Dai was originally a woman of Nurhachi's brother Weihuai, and after Weihuai's death, Nurhachi inherited her as property.

For example, Nurhachi's concubine Abahai, Nurhachi had already hooked up with Daishan when she was not dead, the reason was that Nurhachi revealed the idea of establishing Daishan as the prince, once Nurhachi died of old age and succeeded Daishan, Abahai would naturally become Daishan's woman, so the two got along in advance.

For example, after his second brother Amin was given death by Huang Taiji, he inherited all of Amin's property, including Amin's woman.

For example, Hauge's wife, Borzigit, was accepted by Dolgon as a blessing after Hauge's death.

Even the Jiannu royal family is so unruly and etiquette, let alone ordinary Jiannu, in such a slave tribe, women are just like horse fur, just attached to men's property, Wang Chengen is worried that Jiannu will be for the two women to mobilize the public.

"I see." Wang Chengen nodded and said, "The slave understands." ”

"That's right." Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered another thing and asked, "Did Sun Chuanting send someone to set off for the one million taels of silver I wanted?" ”

Wang Chengen shook his head and said, "Zhang Zi'an didn't mention this in the secret letter, but Lord Sun has always been loyal to the imperial court, so he should give this silver, right?" ”

"I hope so." Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said, "The thieves are attacking Tongguan right now, if Jiang Pai in Datong doesn't send troops to rescue, Chen Xinjia will be unable to parry, but Jiang Pai doesn't see food and pay and doesn't send troops, I need this silver very much now, and the Ming Dynasty needs this silver very much now......

"Ugh."

Wang Chengen sighed and stopped talking.

■■■

and the state government, and now it has become Li Qingshan's general.

Liu Banxian, who was ordered to come, had already relayed Liu Badao's message to Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong, and Li Qingshan smiled and said: "Mr. Liu has worked hard to come, come here, take Mr. Liu to the post house to rest." ”

A thief soldier had already stepped forward and led Liu Banxian away.

After Liu Banxian left, Li Qingshan asked Yuan Shizhong: "Brother Yuan, what do you think about this?" ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, this is a good opportunity for us to take the opportunity to break away from the White Lotus Sect!" ”

"Breaking away from the Holy Religion?" Li Qingshan frowned and said, "Brother Yuan is cautious. ”

"What's there?" Yuan Shizhong disagreed, "It's okay for the White Lotus Sect to coax fools and fools, but if you really want to fight the world, you have to follow King Chuang, I can see it, if you stay in Hezhou again, you will die in the hands of the demon girl and Wang Pu sooner or later, it is better to take people and horses to Henan to join King Chuang, and in the future, King Chuang will sit in the world, and you and my brother will also be regarded as the founding heroes." ”

This is really unpredictable, when the White Lotus Sect leader was thinking about calculating Wang Pu, and Wang Pu was also thinking about dismantling the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect's commanders Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong were already planning to betray the White Lotus Sect and defect to Li Zicheng.

In fact, the White Lotus Sect Leader had long known that Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong were unreliable, so she forced them to take poison, but she couldn't do without these two people.

Because the White Lotus Sect has always taken the lower-level line, the backbone elements in the sect have always been female surnames, and most of the sect members are illiterate poor people, and there are very few landlords like Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong who have the ability to lead troops, which is also the main reason why the White Lotus Sect leader knows that Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong are not very reliable, but they still have to rely on them to lead the army.

Li Qingshan said: "Brother Yuan, don't forget that your and my surnames are still in the hands of that demon girl." ”

"Brother Li is talking about the poison that strikes regularly, right?" Yuan Shizhong laughed and said, "Hahaha, do you really think that there is such a poison in the world?" ”

"How?" Li Qingshan said in a condensed voice, "Could it be ...... Is the enchantress scolding us? ”

"That's right." Yuan Shizhong said, "The little brother has already asked a famous doctor, there is no regular poison in this world, and what the demon girl gives us regularly is the real poison, but fortunately it is not highly poisonous, so we will only feel unbearable abdominal pain after taking it, but there is no worry about our surname." ”

"Grandma's." Li Qingshan said hatefully, "So the brothers were all tricked by that demon girl? ”

"Report the ......" The voice fell, and suddenly a cronie thief entered the tent and said, "General, second general, the holy aunt is here." ”

"Holy aunt? It's the little demon girl. Li Qingshan said hatefully, "It's just in time, take this little demon girl." ”

"Brother Li, don't worry." Yuan Shizhong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Let's take a look at the little demon girl's intentions first." ”

"Hmm."

Li Qingshan nodded, and instructed his cronies and thieves, "You immediately go to find fifty sword and axe men to ambush in the wings on both sides, and stand by at any time." ”

"Yes."

The cronies and thieves took the order.

At that moment, Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong greeted the two of them outside the gate, and saw that Bian Yujing, who was dressed in white and shengxue, had come under the escort of more than a dozen female soldiers riding white lotus, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects and said: "Subordinate Li Qingshan (Yuan Shizhong), see the holy aunt." ”

Bian Yujing turned over and dismounted, and said lightly with his slender hands: "The two generals are exempt from courtesy." ”

Behind Bian Yujing, more than a dozen female soldiers riding the White Lotus also turned over and dismounted, and the White Lotus thieves had already stepped forward to lead the horses, Li Qingshan hurriedly said: "Holy Aunt, please." ”
