Wang Pu took Lu Liu and more than a dozen guards to rush to the outside of the gate, and at a glance, he saw that the port outside the suspension bridge was empty, and there was not even a ghost shadow, where was the figure of the red lady?

Lu Liu was stunned and said, "I was still here just now." ”

Wang Pu hurriedly asked the night watchman, "What about people?" ”

The sentry said, "The man just left." ”

"Gone?" Wang Pu frowned when he heard this, and whispered to himself, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Liu and the guards could only roll their eyes, even Wang Pu didn't know what was going on, and it was even more impossible for them to know.

After waiting outside the gate for a quarter of an hour, seeing that the red lady never showed up, Wang Pu knew that she would not appear again, so he had no choice but to go back to the account first.

Fifty paces away from the gate, under the dark night sky.

A graceful shadow flashed out ghostly from behind a dense bush, looking forward to the brightly lit official and military camp in the distance, and Wang Pu, who returned to the Chinese army's tent surrounded by guards, the shadow couldn't help but sigh faintly, and Fang's heart was full of loss and sadness.

Of course, this beautiful shadow is the red lady.

The Red Lady rushed to Wuli Bridge overnight, originally wanting to report to Wang Pu and ask him to leave Wuli Bridge earlier, but after hesitating outside the official army camp for a while, the Red Lady hesitated, no matter what, Wang Pu and Li Yan are enemies, but she is Li Yan's woman, how can she help her man's enemy in turn?

Looking at the official army camp in the distance, the red lady sighed faintly and murmured: "General soldier Wang, I hope you have your own heavenly ......."

The figure flashed, and the graceful figure of the red lady had disappeared under the dark night sky.

Not long after the figure of the red lady left, another black shadow fell ghostly from a tree not far away, smiled at the direction where the red lady disappeared, unloaded the strong bow from her back, rolled up a letter and inserted it into the arrow, and then took the arrow and pulled the bow, and shot towards the official army camp in the distance......

■■■

As soon as Wang Pu returned to the tent, Tang Sheng rushed in in a hurry, holding a wolf's tooth arrow in his hand and a letter on the arrow.

"General." Tang Sheng gasped, "Believe! ”

Wang Pu said: "What letter? ”

"I don't know." Tang Sheng shook his head and said in a condensed voice, "The lowly priest was leading the brothers to dig a trench overnight, and this arrow shot down from the sky, almost missing a brother's neck!" ”

Wang Pu's heart moved, wondering if she was a red lady?

"Quick, send me the letter."

Tang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and handed the arrow and the letter to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu took the secret letter from the arrow, unfolded it, and after reading it in a hurry, his face changed greatly.

Tang Sheng asked in a condensed voice, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"!" Wang Pu took the case and said in a deep voice, "Li Yan, this rabbit cub, is not willing to be lonely, and he really came to Chuzhou." ”

"Li Yan?" Tang Sheng lost his voice and said, "Isn't this kid in Henan, when did he come to Chuzhou?" ”

Wang Pudao: "The letter said that Li Yan had arrived at the Heifeng Ridge at the junction of Luzhou, Chuzhou and Fengyang Mansion, and there were three thousand elite soldiers accompanying him, and what was even more terrifying was that this bastard already had an overall plan to put us and the White Lotus Sect, and even the entire Jiangnan into it, if it weren't for this letter, we would have hung it." ”

"The whole plan?" Tang Sheng said in a speech, "What plan?" ”

Wang Pu said: "Don't say anything else, the three thousand elite soldiers under Li Yan alone are all musket teams equipped with firearms!" The rabble of the White Lotus Sect is not terrible, even if there are 100,000, they may not be able to break through the camp in two days, but if there is Li Yan's 3,000 musket team, the consequences will be unimaginable...... I'm afraid that before Zhao Xin's army arrives, I'm afraid that the camp has been breached, and you and I should become Li Yan's prisoners. ”

"Musketeers?" Tang Sheng was stunned and said, "Li Yan, this bastard, also formed a musket team?" ”

"I should have thought of it a long time ago." Wang Pu said hesitantly, "When I met the Red Lady on Dushan Island, I should have thought that she was buying firearms for Li Yan!" A smart person like Li Yan, after seeing the power of muskets in the Datong War, would definitely find a way to form one or two firearms battalions. ”

"General." Nenniang reminded, "The origin of this letter is unknown, and it is not worth believing. ”

"Nope." Wang Pu said categorically, "It's better to believe in nothing than to believe in nothing." ”

Wang Pu believed that this letter was still a reason, because he thought that the letter was sent by the Red Lady.

Wang Pu's relationship with the Red Lady is now inexplicable, with Wang Pu's understanding of the Red Lady, she is not a person who can lie, and she can't make up such a "smart" lie.

Tang Sheng said in a condensed voice: "General, if Li Yan really brings a team of three thousand muskets, it will be troublesome, with muskets against muskets, we do not have any advantage in equipment, and what is worse is that we only have five hundred people, and the ratio of troops is six to one!" What do we do now? ”

"Let me think about it."

Wang Pu frowned, began to pace back and forth in the big tent, and said in a condensed voice, "Let me think about it." ”

Now there are two ways to go in front of Wang Pu, the safest is to retreat to Puzikou, first join Zhao Xin's army, and then return to the Go, with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, Li Yan's 3,000 musket team and the rebellious White Lotus thieves crushed, but in this way, the White Lotus Sect leader will definitely be more auspicious, Wang Pu also lost the opportunity to envelop the White Lotus Sect, and the wishful thinking of using the forces of the White Lotus Sect to form an intelligence system has completely failed.

Time was passing quietly, I don't know how long it took, Wang Pu finally stopped, and said categorically: "There is!" ”

Tang Sheng, Lu Liu, and Nen Niang suddenly perked up, pricked up their ears, and listened to Wang Pu's next words.

■■■

Black Wind Ridge.

The eastern sky has just revealed a trace of fish belly white, Li Yan has already got up in his clothes, these years of marching and fighting, Li Yan has developed the habit of getting up early to patrol the camp, no matter where he goes, no matter the wind and rain, he will always get up early in the morning and personally lead the guards to inspect the whole camp.

When Li Yan led the guards to inspect the back mountain, a strange noise suddenly came from behind a bush in front of him.

More than a dozen guards behind Li Yan immediately rushed forward, blocked Li Yan behind him, and shouted and asked, "Who?" ”

A figure bent out from behind the bushes, still lifting his pants, Li Yan looked at his brother Li Hu, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Huzi, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Hu replied with an embarrassed expression: "Big brother, little brother has a stomach." ”

"Tummy?" Li Yan frowned and said, "Why don't you go to the thatched house when you have a stomach?" ”

"Don't mention it." Li Hu covered his nose and said, "The thatched house in Heifengling is so stinky that it can smoke a cow to death, it's better here, it's ventilated and clean." ”

Li Yan nodded and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Li Hu said: "I pulled very hard, and I don't know what I ate, and my legs are floating when I walk." ”

"Then you should go back and lie down." Li Yan said, "It's going to go out before dark. ”

"Hey."

Li Hu agreed and took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned around and looked at Li Yan with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

"What's wrong?" Li Yan frowned and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Li Hu looked at the guards beside Li Yan and did not speak.

Li Yan turned around and said, "You guys go over there and wait first." ”

More than a dozen guards took the order, and when they were far away, Li Hu said in a low voice: "Big brother, the younger brother seems to have seen his sister-in-law just now, and I don't know if his eyes are dazzling." ”

Li Yan frowned for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Hu said: "The little brother just squatted down for a while, and saw a figure turn up from the back cliff, and when he got closer, he vaguely looked like a sister-in-law, but it was dark at the time, and the little brother didn't see it too clearly, maybe he was dazzled." ”

"Got it." Li Yan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell anyone about this." ”

"Yes." Li Hu nodded and said, "Little brother will take care of it." ”

■■■

In the city of Chuzhou, the White Lotus Sect is in action.

The White Lotus Sect Master has already summoned Bian Yujing and more than 100 young men and women, compared to Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong, Liu Badao and others, these more than 100 young men and women are the real backbone of the White Lotus Sect, most of them are orphans, they were all raised by the White Lotus Sect, and they are also loyal to the White Lotus Sect.

Tomorrow at noon, the motherless mother will be sacrificed outside the south gate, and the White Lotus Sect will mainly do a big thing at that time, that is, to seize the military power of Yuan Shizhong, Li Qingshan and Liu Badao, and then hand over the holy army of the Guardian to Wang Pu under the command, of course, she will also make corresponding arrangements at the sacrificial ceremony, and completely cut off Wang Pu's idea of returning to the Ming Dynasty.

However, Wang Pu will definitely not obediently obey the arrangement, Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong and Liu Badao will not be captured, they will definitely resist, and only more than a hundred disciples in the sect will not be able to subdue these people, so it is also necessary to mobilize the five thousand elite soldiers in the northern camp of the city, and now it is time to take back the control of the five thousand elite soldiers.

The White Lotus Sect Leader said, "Yu'er. ”

Bian Yujing responded: "The disciple is here." ”

The White Lotus Sect Leader said: "You take fifty people to the Wuliqiao official army camp to receive the muskets, and after getting the muskets, they will be sent to the Chengbei camp immediately, and then cooperate with the army of the Chengbei camp to annihilate Monk Zhang and the officers and soldiers who infiltrated it, remember, it is best not to use force, let alone hurt them." ”

Bian Yujing asked, "Master, what if General Wang doesn't give him a musket?" ”

"No, it won't." The White Lotus Sect Leader said confidently, "This guy sent hundreds of officers and soldiers to sneak into the camp in the north of the city, and thought that we were kept in the dark by him, and the reason why he promised to transport this batch of muskets to the camp in the north of the city was to equip these hundreds of officers and soldiers, so he will definitely give it." ”

■■■

Half an hour later, the Wuli Bridge.

As soon as Bian Yujing and 50 male and female disciples entered the official army camp, hundreds of officers and soldiers armed with muskets emerged from the tents on both sides and surrounded Bian Yujing and the others.

Bian Yujing's face changed, and he said sharply: "What are you doing here?" I want to see your generals! ”

"Miss Yujing, don't get excited, don't get excited."

A faint voice suddenly sounded from the front, Bian Yujing looked up when he heard the sound, and saw that Wang Pu had already walked out of the big tent surrounded by the guards.

"General Wang." Bian Yujing pointed to the officers and soldiers around him with his hand, and asked in a coquettish voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Nothing else." Wang Pu smiled and said, "I just want to wronged the girl and you first." ”

After that, Wang Pu waved his hand and shouted: "Take it all!" ”

The officers and soldiers who were waiting for the battle swarmed up, and Bian Yujing and fifty male and female disciples were captured.

Bian Yujing said angrily: "Wang Pu, you don't believe what you say!" ”

"Miss Yujing, don't be impatient." Wang Pu smiled, "Soon you will know that General Ben is only doing this to save people, save you and your master, and even everyone in your White Lotus Sect." ”

"Saving people?" Bian Yujing didn't believe it, "You lied to people." ”

Wang Pu didn't pay any attention to Bian Yujing, waved his hand and shouted, "Tie them up." ”

Some officials and soldiers had already rushed forward and wrapped a cloth waist pocket around the waist of Bian Yujing and each of the White Lotus disciples, and Wang Pu ordered someone to wrap another cloth waist around the waist of a scarecrow prepared in advance, and then pointed to the scarecrow and said to Bian Yujing and the others: "Miss Yujing, do you know what is in that waist pocket?" ”

Bian Yujing snorted and ignored it.

"It's gunpowder."

As he spoke, Wang Pu pulled out a short gun and shot the cloth pocket tied to the scarecrow's waist.

There was a flash of red light, and then a flame rose into the air, and the gunpowder in the cloth pocket burned out in an instant, and the scorching flames burned the scarecrow to ashes in an instant.

Seeing such a scene, Bian Yujing and the male and female disciples of the White Lotus Sect changed color in an instant.

Wang Pu smiled and said: "Miss Yujing, as long as you are willing to cooperate, there will be nothing, if you are disobedient......"

Wang Pu didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant, if Bian Yujing and the others were disobedient and uncooperative, they would be burned to ashes by gunpowder like this scarecrow.

Bian Yujing was silent, and every disciple of the White Lotus Sect was silent.

Wang Pu took two steps forward, reached out and gently picked up Bian Yujing's pink chin, and asked with a smile: "Miss Yujing, now tell me, why did your master ask you to come to General Ben?" ”

Bian Yujing didn't dare to face Wang Pu's bright eyes, instinctively closed his beautiful eyes, and didn't say a word.

"Don't say it?" Wang Pu smiled and said, "Don't you say that General Ben also knows, did your master let you escort the musket?" And then go to the camp in the north of the city to seize control of 5,000 elite soldiers? ”

Bian Yujing was still too tender, and suddenly opened his beautiful eyes and asked, "You...... How would you know? ”

"Hahaha." Wang Pu laughed and said, "That's true." ”

"You ......"

Bian Yujing realized that he had fallen for Wang Pu, and he was so angry that he almost burst into tears, so he had to close his beautiful eyes again.

Wang Pu turned around and shouted, "Tang Sheng." ”

Tang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Humble duty." ”

"Immediately set up the car." Wang Pu said, "Go to the camp in the north of the city." ”

■■■

The camp in the north of the city, the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the past few days, the White Lotus Sect's surveillance of Monk Zhang has been significantly strengthened.

Monk Zhang is like a trapped beast in a cage, pacing back and forth restlessly, he has already smelled the smell of danger from the air, but Wang Pu, who is close at hand, has not sent someone to come, and before receiving Wang Puxin's instructions, he can only stand still and wait and see what happens.

There is only one military order that Wang Pu handed over to Monk Zhang, that is, to train the five thousand White Lotus thieves into elite soldiers who must be executed!

Although Monk Zhang transplanted the military regulations of the Datong Army to the White Lotus Sect, and killed many thieves and thieves who dared to disobey his orders, he still had no bottom in his heart, after all, this is the army of the White Lotus Sect, and it is really hard to say whether they will listen to the White Lotus Sect or listen to him Monk Zhang at the critical moment.

What made Monk Zhang feel reassured was that the five hundred veterans under his command had infiltrated the camp in the north of the city through various ways and channels, and this was a veteran who was absolutely loyal to Monk Zhang and Wang Pu, and Monk Zhang believed that as long as he gave an order, these five hundred veterans would immediately gather around his big tent.

A White Lotus thief entered the tent without being announced, and Monk Zhang was furious and said, "Whoever let you in, get out of ......"

Before the last word "go out" could be spoken, Monk Zhang suddenly looked at the White Lotus thieves who came in and was stunned, and said in surprise: "General......"
