Black Wind Ridge Cottage.

It's already the second half of the night, but Li Yan doesn't feel sleepy at all, he is gently stroking a bell under the lamp, this bell is still the love token thrown to him when the red lady came to Qixian to perform arts, recalling the situation when the two met, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart, but soon, this warmth was annihilated by the heart-devouring pain.

Everything has changed since Bai Shanshan came back.

In the final analysis, Li Yan is a typical Confucian student, although he took refuge in Li Zicheng, he has always believed in Confucianism, and the ethical and moral concepts of the Three Principles and Five Constants have been deeply ingrained in his heart! The fact that the red lady was defiled by other men was like a thorn in his heart.

In the ethical and moral concept with the three outlines and five constants as the core, a woman's chastity is undoubtedly very important, Li Yan simply cannot tolerate the fact that his wife has other men, whether she is active or passive, as long as she is defiled by other men, she is no longer a chaste woman.

If there was a choice, Li Yan would rather the red lady choose to commit suicide to keep her chastity! But the Red Lady didn't do this, she chose to live secretly, which is the main reason why Li Yan resents the Red Lady! Since Bai Mountaineering came back, Li Yan has never said a word to the red lady!

But this time, Li Yan believed that the Red Lady could not be spared, in order to save him Li Yan, the Red Lady sacrificed herself to lead away the official army, Li Yan fled back to Heifengling, but the Red Lady was captured alive by the official army, the current situation is different from the time of Datong, Li Yan does not think that Wang Pu will let the Red Lady go this time.

Thinking that the Red Lady fell into the hands of the official army in order to save herself, Li Yan's resentment towards her suddenly became light, and an indescribable sadness enveloped him, in fact, no matter how much Li Yan resented the Red Lady in his heart, an undeniable fact is that he still loves her deeply.

"Ugh."

Li Yan sighed faintly, and when he was gambling and thinking about people, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and then Li Jun's voice sounded: "Big brother, General Jing and sister-in-law are back." ”

"Dangchang."

The bell in Li Yan's hand fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.

"Big brother." Li Jun repeated again in a slightly excited voice, "Sister-in-law and General Jing are back!" ”

With a hoarse squeak, Li Yan pushed the door open.

Contrary to Li Jun's expectations, Li Yan's face was gloomy and there was no trace of joy, Li Yan saw Jing Maocheng and the red lady behind Li Jun at a glance, Jing Chengcheng was still wrapped in a white cloth, and there were faint traces of blood gushing out, and the red lady looked even more hesitant, not daring to face Li Yan's indifferent eyes.

Jing Maocheng arched his hand and gasped, "See the general." ”

Li Yan turned sideways and opened the door, his face finally returned to calm, and he said indifferently: "Come in and talk about it." ”

■■■

Outside Chuzhou City, the official army camp.

Monk Zhang was carried into the tent, Wang Pu sat in front of the soldiers with a gloomy expression, and Tang Sheng, Scarface and Zhao Xin stood on both sides, all three of them showed a worried look on their faces, and they wanted to step forward to help Monk Zhang, but when they looked back at Wang Pu's gloomy face, the three of them did not dare to make a mistake easily.

This time the mistake was not small, Jing Maocheng just escaped, and he also rescued the red lady!

Wang Puzhijun has always been strict, and those who dare to defy the law have no good end, if Jing Maocheng is really let go by Monk Zhang, then this time even if the king of heaven and Laozi comes, he will not be able to save him, and now Monk Zhang has only one way to live, that is, to bite Jing Maocheng to death is to stab him and then take the opportunity to escape.

"Monk." Wang Pu asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Monk Zhang pursed his lips and responded: "Humble ......"

"Monk!" Wang Pu suddenly interrupted, "You have to think clearly, deceiving your boss is tantamount to disobeying military orders!" ”

"Yes." Monk Zhang deflated like a deflated ball, and said in a low voice, "People are let go by lowly duty, and this knife is also stabbed by lowly duty." ”

Tang Sheng and Zhao Xin were discolored, and Scarface shouted in annoyance: "Monk, are you stupid? ”

"General." Monk Zhang looked up at Wang Pu and said loudly, "This matter was done by a lowly position, although the general has no complaints about the crime of killing or depriving him of a lowly position according to military regulations." ”

"Lu Liu!" Wang Pu stood up and shouted, "The seven major military regulations, read!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Liu agreed, grabbed the first two steps and read aloud:

Those who disobey military orders, kill!

Whoever commits a murder on his own people, kill!

Annihilate the women of the Silver Dynasty, kill!

Those who rob the people of the Ming Dynasty, kill!

Those who gather a crowd to play money will be whipped eighty in public!

Those who have seized it in private will be whipped eighty in public!

Whoever tramples on the harvest will be whipped eighty in public!

Wang Pu frowned for a moment, and said sharply: "From today onwards, add one more, those who secretly indulge in the enemy, kill!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Liuda replied loudly, "Those who indulge in the enemy, kill!" ”

"Monk." Wang Pu glared at Monk Zhang, and said sharply, "Remembering that you are the first to set up the enemy, and this general is the last to set military regulations, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, and you will be whipped eighty in public to set an example!" ”

After that, Wang Pu brushed his sleeves and left.

Tang Sheng, Zhao Xinhe, and Scarface, who were standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and helped Monk Zhang up, and Scarface turned his head and glared at Lu Liudao viciously: "Little Liu, you fucking listen to Lao Tzu, and let your people do it lightly, if you hurt the monk, Lao Tzu can't spare you." ”

Although Lu Liu was Wang Pu's guard captain, he knew that the relationship between Scarface and Wang Pu was extraordinary, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Scar, don't worry, the little one knows it." ”

Black Wind Ridge Cottage.

The red lady stood behind Li Yan with her head down, as usual, but Li Yan didn't even look at her, frowned and asked Jing Maocheng: "Senior Brother Jing, how did you escape?" ”

Jing Maocheng responded: "General, it is the monk brother who has come back." ”

Li Yan asked, "Monk Zhang?" ”

"Yes, that's him." Jing Mao said, "When we were in Datong, we were quite temperamental, Monk Zhang was a man, righteous, enough for the masters, but Wang Puzhijun has always been strict, this time he released the last general privately, I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the blame, beheading may not be, but it is inevitable to suffer a meal." ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Senior Brother Jing, you have traveled so far and you have injuries on your body, so you should go down and rest first." ”

"Yes." Jing Maocheng responded, walked to the door and suddenly remembered something, turned back to Li Yan and said, "By the way, the general, the lady was also rescued by the last general, she was originally locked in the tent next to the last general, and the last general pretended to be a monk and happened to pass by, so he rescued her under the pretext of Wang Putiren." ”

"Got it." Li Yan nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Senior Brother Jing, go down and rest." ”

After Jing Maocheng left, Li Yan slowly turned his head, looked at the red lady with an inexplicable look, and said coldly for a long time: "Monk Zhang released Jing Maocheng back for the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, I believe it!" Wang Pu locked you up next to Jing Maocheng and asked him to rescue you too...... But I don't believe it! ”

The red lady was sad in her heart and speechless.

"Say." Li Yan asked coldly, "Did Wang Pu let you come back?" ”

The red lady closed her beautiful eyes and responded in a trembling voice: "No." ”

"Isn't it?" Li Yan smiled coldly, and then asked, "The night before our army raided Wuli Bridge, someone saw you coming up from the back cliff in the middle of the night, why did you go that night?" ”

The red lady shook her head vigorously, but she couldn't say a word.

The red lady is hard to say, she did go to Wuli Bridge to see Wang Pu that night, but in the end she did not meet Wang Pu, let alone disclose the plan of the rebels to attack Wuli Bridge!

"Say it!" Li Yan grabbed the red lady's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "What did you do that night?" Did you go to Wuli Bridge to report to Wang Pu? ”

"Nope." The red lady burst into tears, shook her head sadly and said, "The slave family did not report the news. ”

"And say no!" Li Yan's emotions suddenly got out of control, and he yelled hysterically, "You slut! From the very beginning, you were lying to me, Bai Shan Mountain's defilement of you was not actually a Jiannu at all, but Wang Pu's bastard! Right? Right! You slut, slut! In order to save your wild man, I only ran to report to him in the middle of the night, so our rebel army's sneak attack plan will fall short, you, you, you, you, you......, you I'll kill you! ”

"Khooth!"

In a fit of rage, Li Yan turned over and drew his sword and stabbed the red lady's throat.

The red lady did not dodge or dodge, but closed her beautiful eyes, and greeted Li Yan's long sword with a white jade neck......

■■■

Outside Chuzhou City, the official army camp.

The White Lotus Sect Master woke up faintly, only to see himself lying in the marching tent specially used to treat the wounded soldiers, two red candles were burning on the candlestick, and a faint cold wind blew in along the gap, and the red candles hung down two lines of candle tears in the wind, like a beautiful woman who was sad and separated, and hung down two lines of red tears on the railing.

"Poof."

Touching the scene, the White Lotus Sect advocated another mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, and the red blood beads splashed on the white bedding, like a blooming blood lotus, so poignant that it made people feel distressed.

"Master?"

When the curtain was lifted, Bian Yujing walked in with a basin of hot water, and when he saw that the White Lotus Sect Leader was vomiting blood again, his face changed in an instant, he put down the basin and stepped forward to help the White Lotus Sect Leader, and asked with pity, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Yu'er." The White Lotus Sect Master shook his head weakly and said softly, "Master is fine. ”

"And said it was fine." Bian Yujing pursed his lips and said worriedly, "You've had hemoptysis several times." ”

"Silly boy." The White Lotus Sect Leader stretched out his hand to caress Bian Yujing's flower-like beauty, and said softly, "The master is just suffering a little internal injury, it's really not a big deal, Yu'er, you go and help the master invite General Wang here......"

"No need." The White Lotus Sect Master's voice fell, and Wang Pu had already stepped into the tent and said with a smile, "The little brother is already here." ”

The White Lotus Sect Master whispered a few words in Bian Yujing's ear, Bian Yujing gently bowed his head and got up, and only the White Lotus Sect Master and Wang Pu were left in the tent.

"Good sister." Wang Pu sat down beside the White Lotus Sect Master's bed and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"Much better." The White Lotus Sect Master said, "Your military attendant's Chinese medicine skills are good. ”

"Of course." Wang Pu smiled proudly, "He is the descendant of the divine doctor Li Shizhen." ”

"Li Shizhen's descendants? It's no wonder. A trace of inexplicable bitterness suddenly appeared on the White Lotus Sect Master's slightly pale face, staring at Wang Pu deeply, and said in a low voice, "Stinky boy, you are honest, Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong know that they are not poisoned, are they also the ghosts you secretly troubled?" ”

Wang Pu did not admit or deny it, and asked, "Why does a good sister think so?" ”

The White Lotus Sect Master said in a condensed voice: "In this world, except for the descendants of the famous doctor Li Shizhen, I'm afraid that no one dares to assert that 'there is no regular poison in the world', alas, in fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago, when you used fake poison to deceive me, I should have known that you had seen through this scam." ”

Wang Pu smiled slightly, which was a tacit acquiescence.

The White Lotus Sect Master sighed and said quietly: "I don't know how many men have been toyed with by my sister, but in the end, they have been played with by you, a little villain, and what's even more ridiculous is that my sister is still ignorant of this, and still stupidly wants to keep you by her side and force you to be the commander of the Holy Sect, in fact, you have calculated it from the beginning, right?" ”

"Huh." Wang Pu smiled, "Let's not talk about these unpleasant topics." ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it." The White Lotus Sect Leader said gloomily, "You can guess if you don't say that your sister, my sister originally wanted to use you to raise money and food for the Holy Sect to train again, but you took advantage of your sister's absence in Chuzhou, first tried to let Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong know the truth that they were not poisoned, and then spread rumors in secret to force them to rebel...... Little villain, you have succeeded, the Holy Sect has collapsed, and it is completely disintegrated, without more than ten or twenty years of operation, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover, now you must be very proud, right? ”

"Nope." Wang Pu said sincerely, "If my sister thinks that the collapse of the White Lotus Sect is the power of the junior brother alone, then you are really raising the younger brother, in fact, there are hidden dangers within the White Lotus Sect, Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong and Liu Badao are turning against the water sooner or later, the younger brother just advanced this process." ”

"You don't have to excuse yourself." The White Lotus Sect Leader said rather lonely, "Even if the White Lotus Sect was disintegrated by you, my sister will never blame you, besides, even if my sister wants to blame you, what can I do?" Now not only my sister has fallen into your hands, but even Yu'er and them have fallen into your hands, and whether the White Lotus Sect is born or destroyed is just in your thoughts. ”

"Sister, please believe in the little brother." Wang Pu looked at the White Lotus Sect Master deeply, and said in a condensed voice, "The junior brother has no intention of destroying the White Lotus Sect, the younger brother is only doing this in the hope that the White Lotus Sect can be reborn, return to the right path from the wrong path, and become a religious sect on a par with Taoism and Buddhism." ”

An inexplicable shock flashed through the White Lotus Sect Master's beautiful eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "You...... Say what? Become a religious sect on a par with Taoism and Buddhism? ”

"Yes." Wang Pu said solemnly, "The White Lotus Sect is not short of believers, since there are so many people who choose to believe in the White Lotus Sect, it shows that the White Lotus Sect has the same charisma as Taoism and Buddhism, but unfortunately, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect in the past dynasties are not willing to be resigned to religious affairs, but are committed to inciting the people to rebel and try to govern the country with religion, which makes the White Lotus Sect not tolerate the rulers of the past dynasties and was tragically banned, until now, the White Lotus Sect does not even have a formal temple." ”

A bitter smile appeared on the face of the White Lotus Sect Master, and he said softly: "Good brother, even if you just casually talk about deceiving my sister to be happy, my sister is grateful to you in my heart, but what you said is impossible to achieve, the White Lotus Sect was listed as a cult and banned at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you are just a small Nanjing Admiral, how can you revoke Emperor Hongwu's ban?" ”

"It's man-made." Wang Pu looked at the White Lotus Sect Leader deeply, his eyes showed unwavering meaning, and he said in a condensed voice, "If the younger brother becomes the Cao Ying of the Ming Dynasty one day, do you think the younger brother has the ability to abolish Emperor Hongwu's ban?" ”

"What?" The White Lotus Sect Leader was stunned and said, "You want to become the Cao Ying of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"What, don't believe me?" Wang Pu's eyes suddenly showed a narrow smile, and he asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a Ming courtier like my junior brother?" ”

"I haven't seen it before." The corners of the White Lotus Sect Master's eyebrows and eyes finally showed a hint of flattery, and he smiled, "I really haven't seen a courtier like you, marrying a dusty woman as a wife is already shocking enough, and when you arrive in the capital, you actually dare to refuse the marriage of the Dog Emperor in the palace, and then rob the Dharma field for your subordinates......"

Wang Pu smiled and said, "What is this?" ”

"yes, that's really nothing compared to what follows." The flattery on the face of the White Lotus Sect Master became even stronger, "When you return to Datong, you hook up with the thief Mingli, and also confine the acting king, and don't take the dignity of the court and the royal face in your eyes at all, if you want my sister to say, either you don't fall into the hands of the Dog Emperor, you will fall into his hands one day, I'm afraid that you will have to be escorted to the vegetable market like the Slave Chief Emperor Taiji." ”

Wang Puwei smiled: "Good sister, you are too worried, if Emperor Chongzhen wants to kill his younger brother alive, then he must first ask the 60,000 soldiers of the Nanjing camp if they agree, hehehe......"

"You." The White Lotus Sect Leader said in a flattering voice, "It's really a bit like Cao Ying, but it looks a little white and tender, like a little white face who specializes in coaxing women's hearts, hehe." ”

"Uh......" Wang Pu put his hand on his forehead and called Qu Dao, "Heaven and earth conscience, the little brother didn't deceive your sister." ”

Since the knot in the heart of the White Lotus Sect Master was untied, he quickly regained his demonic appearance of a debauched corpse, poked a finger on Wang Pu's forehead, and said with affection: "Still say no? My sister's heart has long been deceived by you, a little villain, otherwise how would I believe your absurd words? Say, how can Sister Yao and the Holy Sect help you? ”

"Good sister." Wang Pu sat down beside the White Lotus Sect Leader with a salivating face, hugged her uncontrollable waist, and said with a smile, "You are really Bingxue smart, in fact, it is not a big deal, if my sister can use the brothers and sisters in various places to collect some information, then the younger brother will definitely be grateful." ”

"Little villain, where are you going?" The White Lotus Sect Leader stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh on Wang Pu's waist fiercely, and said coquettishly, "This is not a big deal?" If my sister agrees to you, then not only will she sell herself to you, but she will also give you the entire Holy Religion as a dowry, if you have a conscience, your sister and the Holy Religion will still be able to settle down, if you are a person without a conscience, then your sister will not even be able to cry. ”

Wang Pu hurriedly retracted his hairy paws from the plump snow buttocks of the White Lotus Sect, and begged for mercy: "Hey, good sister, if you light it, it will hurt." ”

Suddenly there was a sound of small footsteps outside the tent, and the footsteps were heard that Bian Yujing was back.

The White Lotus Sect Master hurriedly let go, and did not forget to tidy up the somewhat crumpled Luo Clothes, Wang Pu also quickly stood up from the soft couch, deliberately pretending to be a gentleman, the White Lotus Sect Master couldn't help but gently pinch Wang Pu's inner thigh, and said with a low smile: "Look at you, I don't know you and think you are the Yanagi Hui who is not in a mess." ”
