Chapter 38: The White Lotus Sect
Nothing was said all night.
The next time, He Xiongxiang, Zhao Zhilong and other Nanjing officials and relatives sent Wang Pu out of Chaoyang Gate with a grand ceremony, because the way north into Beijing is far away, and the Shandong area is making trouble with the White Lotus Sect, so in addition to Chang Yanling, Li Zushu led by the two thousand brocade guards, the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Shi Kefa also sent the naval general Huang Degong to lead 3,000 troops to escort him.
This Huang Degong is a fierce general, born in the army, and was promoted to a general by virtue of his military exploits.
More than 5,000 officers and soldiers, as well as some of the property stolen by Wang Pu from Shengjing and Korea, were divided into more than 50 warships, and marched along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Beijing under the pull of the slender man and the boatman.
Half a month later, the fleet began to enter the Shandong border, and the scene on both sides of the canal began to become bleak.
Wang Pu, Chen Yuanyuan, and the soldiers stood on the boat and looked at the sight that many villages on both sides of the canal had been burned to the ground, patches of fertile land had been trampled and barren, and refugees who were helping the old and young had even blocked the wharves on both sides of the canal.
Chen Yuanyuan saw that many children and old people among the refugees by the canal were dying of hunger, so he couldn't help but shed tears of sadness, buried his head in Wang Pu's arms, and said gloomily: "Xianggong, these children and old people are really pitiful, they must have not eaten enough for many days." ”
Wang Pu's heart was equally heavy, and he was about to order the fleet to anchor to the shore to help the refugees when an accident happened.
Because Wang Pu's fleet had more than 50 naval warships and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, starting from Nanjing, there were merchant ships following along the way, and after passing Huaiyin, there were more than 100 merchant ships of all sizes.
Seeing the tragic situation of the hungry people on both sides of the canal, a merchant ship was moved by compassion and took the initiative to dock to give some food, but a shocking scene occurred, and the refugees from the vicinity rushed to the boat, scrambling to get on the boat, and the people on the boat wanted to control the situation, but the refugees on the boat picked up the guy and drove them into the river.
The merchant ship was forcibly towed to the shore, and the food and goods on board were also looted, and after the ransacking of the merchant ship, the refugees, who began to lose control of their emotions, picked up the stones and sticks on the ground and threw them at other merchant ships, driven by hunger, the refugees have evolved into a mob!
Chang Yanling and Li Zushu live in the Splendid Jiangnan, when have they ever seen such a crazy scene? The two of them even had their lungs blown up at that time, and immediately ordered the boatman to pull their respective warships to the shore, ready to lead the Jinyi Guard ashore to disperse these out-of-control refugees.
Before Chang Yanling and Li Zushu brought people ashore, the refugees crowded by the canal had already swarmed up, scrambling to loot the sailor warship, these refugees were already starving and faint, and even dared to rob the sailor warship, Wang Pu saw that the situation was not good, and urgently ordered Scarface to transfer all the fifty family members on the ship to the deck, and waited for it.
At this time, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowded mob, this person was the water coward Liu Badao who almost robbed her into Taihu Lake, Liu Badao was holding a strong crossbow in his hand, and at this time he was already aiming at Chen Yuanyuan's side, Chen Yuanyuan looked sideways, Wang Pu was facing the riverbank conductor Ding Queue with his back.
"Instigation!"
In the sound of breaking the air, a crossbow had already shot at Wang Pu's vest like lightning.
"Don't!"
Chen Yuanyuan screamed, the sound of twisting blocked in front of Wang Pu, the cold light flashed, and the crossbow had already shot Chen Yuanyuan's chest, but it actually made a sound of something breaking, Chen Yuanyuan groaned, and collapsed softly backwards, Wang Pu turned around and held her in his arms when he heard the sound.
"There are assassins! Protect the General! ”
Scarface screamed, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan.
Xiao Qi and the other fifty family members moved when they heard the sound, and suddenly they all rushed up, forming two solid human walls in front of and behind Wang Pu.
"Daddy Li!" Wang Pu hugged Chen Yuanyuan and rushed to the cabin, yelling bitterly, "Xiao Qi, go find Daddy Li, hurry!" ”
Soon, Xiao Qi took Daddy Li to Wang Pu's cabin.
However, before Father Li could inspect the injury, Chen Yuanyuan woke up by himself, Wang Pu hurriedly pressed Chen Yuanyuan's fragrant shoulder, and said softly: "Don't move, Yuanyuan, you lie down, don't move." ”
"Xianggong." Chen Yuanyuan's face was slightly red, and he said softly, "The slave family is fine." ”
"Yes, you're fine, you'll be fine."
Wang Pu looked at the crossbow arrow that was still inserted in Chen Yuanyuan's chest, and his heart was broken.
If it weren't for Chen Yuanyuan, this crossbow should have been inserted into Wang Pu's back now, what a good woman, she actually used her body to block arrows for men!
"Xianggong, the slave family is really fine." After Chen Yuanyuan finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the crossbow arrow inserted in his chest, and then blushed and said, "Xianggong, have you forgotten that jade pendant?" ”
"You ......" Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan actually pulled out the crossbow arrow, Wang Pu was taken aback at first, and then he was overjoyed, and he stretched out his hand to untie Chen Yuanyuan's clothes, and suddenly thought that there were others present, and immediately turned back to Xiao Qi and Daddy Li and said, "That, Xiao Qi, Daddy Li, please avoid it first." ”
When Xiao Qi and Daddy Li got out of the cabin, Wang Pu hurriedly reached out to untie Chen Yuanyuan's Luo clothes, and gently took off the pink clothes, and a pair of round and plump [***] were presented in front of Wang Pu's eyes without reservation, Wang Pu looked fixedly, and the jade pendant in the cleavage had been completely broken.
Chen Yuanyuan was not injured, but only left small red marks on his white skin.
This is really providence, dare to love the crossbow arrow from the bottom up, just through Chen Yuanyuan's cleavage, and hit the jade pendant, but the jade pendant was broken, but Chen Yuanyuan was fine, and the reason why this crossbow arrow was inserted in Chen Yuanyuan's body was because it was squeezed by her plump [***].
If Wang Pu hadn't given Chen Yuanyuan this necklace at the beginning, and Chen Yuanyuan had been wearing it on his body, maybe Chen Yuanyuan would have died by now.
"Yuanyuan, you're really okay!" Wang Pu was excited, and he held Chen Yuanyuan's pair of plump [***] hard, and shouted excitedly, "Great, this is really good." ”
"Don't be a husband." Chen Yuanyuan groaned, Meimu began to become confused, and said coquettishly and charmingly, "Xiao Qi and Daddy Li are still outside, and those refugees outside are making trouble." ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Chen Yuanyuan's voice fell, and a deafening roar suddenly sounded outside the cabin, and Chen Yuanyuan screamed in fright and crashed into Wang Pu's arms.
"What's going on?" Wang Pu hugged Chen Yuanyuan, put Luo Yi on her hand, turned his head and asked outside, "Xiao Qi, who ordered the cannon?" ”
"Returning to the general." Huang Degong's response sounded outside the cabin, "It was the cannon ordered by the last general, but the general can rest assured that it is an empty cannon, and the last general just wants to scare away these mobs." ”
Wang Pu helped Chen Yuanyuan to lie down on the couch and said, "Yuanyuan, you lie down first, and Xianggong will come back to see you." ”
"Xianggong, the slave family is fine." Chen Yuanyuan said softly, "Xianggong, go ahead." ”
Wang Pu kissed Chen Yuanyuan on the forehead, turned around and strode out of the cabin, only to see Huang Degong, Scarface, Xiao Qi and others nervously guarding outside, and when they saw Wang Pu coming out, they all asked with concern: "General, how is Madame's injury?" ”
"It's fine." Wang Pu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Huang Degong, "General Huang, what happened to the mob by the canal?" ”
Huang Degong bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, general, the mob has been dispersed." ”
At this time, a team of brocade guards suddenly escorted a soaked, ragged middle-aged obscene man from the corridor, and Li Zushu, the leader, said loudly: "Big brother, this guy is clamoring to see you, and he also said that he is the official of Jining Mansion, and he has important military information to report to you." ”
