The sound of ticking raindrops continued to sound outside the house, and a cold wind carried the raindrops into the study, and Wei Manyao, whose clothes had been wet by the rain, couldn't help but shiver, and was immediately noticed by Pang Gang, who was hugging the beautiful woman.

Pang Gang complained distressed and loving: "Look at you, don't take an umbrella when you come over, what should I do if I get sick?" ”

Wei Manyao's beautiful eyes looked at Pang Gang affectionately and smiled sweetly: "People forgot!" ”

A simple sentence contains infinite affection in it, in the relationship with Wei Manyao, in Pang Gang's impression, the beauty in his arms always looks down-and-out and generous, and it is the first time to talk to Pang Gang with a coquettish demeanor like today.

Pang Gang only felt a wave of tenderness surging in his heart, looking at the raindrops on the beauty's hair and delicate face, Pang Gang couldn't help but kiss it anymore, and took the ruddy and seductive cherry mouth in his mouth.

"Reminder"

Wei Manyao also bravely hugged Ailang's thick neck, offered his own fragrant tongue, and a stream of fragrant and sweet juice was sucked into his mouth by Pang Gang, and the two kissed feverishly in the study.

When the two kissed in the dark, Qiao'er also watched her young lady and her future aunt kiss mouth-to-mouth as if no one was kissing, and she was dumbfounded, she didn't know whether to step forward to stop the two of them from transgressing or to go out to take care of them.

Just when Pang Gang and Wei Manyao kissed in the dark, Qiao'er found a figure walking outside the door, out of the loyalty of the personal maid, she had to cough lightly twice on the side and said, "Miss, uncle, someone is here outside." ”

Qiao'er's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder that woke up the lovers who were falling into a hot kiss, and Wei Manyao, who was taken aback, pushed hard shyly, and the two suddenly separated.

As soon as the two separated, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman hurriedly walked in with two oil umbrellas in her hands, this person was Rou Niang who was chasing after her, and when she came in, she saw the master and servant who were already wet, and Rou Niang complained distressedly: "You two children, you don't know how to take an umbrella when you come out, you see, it's drenched, right?" And you too, I don't know how to let them go back and change their clothes, if you get sick, I see if you feel distressed. ”

The last sentence was said to Pang Gang, but it made several people blush at the same time.

"Auntie, let's go back and change our clothes." Wei Manyao's face was slightly red, she took the oil umbrella from Rou Niang's hand and gave it to Qiao'er, and walked outside in a panic, when she walked to the door, she turned around and looked white Pang Gang, who was standing inside like a goose, said with a coquettish look: "Idiot, don't come and hold an umbrella with me." ”

"Oh, I'll be right here." Pang Gang, who was overjoyed, rushed over, reached out and snatched the oil umbrella in the hand of the beauty, and walked to the backyard in the rain with the beauty in his arms, followed by the panicked Qiao'er who was also holding the umbrella.

"Hey, this woman, she just forgot her aunt when she has a daughter-in-law." Looking at the back of the servant in the rain, Rou Niang smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to go, only to find that she was stunned to find that she had no umbrella

Returned to the embroidery building, Qiao'er regardless of the fact that her body was still wet, she quickly went into the inner room to boil water, she came to report after a short time, the bathing water was already hot, please Miss go to the bath first, Wei Manyao just saw her lover at first glance, and she didn't feel anything under the rippling mood, but at this time, as soon as she returned to the embroidery building where she was used to living, she suddenly felt wet and uncomfortable, and went to the inner room in response to Pang Gang's voice.

Seeing the young lady go to bathe, Qiao'er hurriedly burned the charcoal fire in the embroidery building, and she lit the three fire cages in the house in three clicks and two clicks, Pang Gang looked at Qiao'er who was busy and nodded secretly, it seems that this girl is used to doing this job.

The busy Qiao'er's bare half of the arm Rao is also glowing with honey-colored healthy luster in the gloomy rainy day, Pang Gang looked at Qiao'er's arm in a trance, and the ** delicate bodies of several women in the family shook in front of his eyes one by one, they are all snow-white as jade, none of them can see the traces of labor, since following Pang Gang, every day brocade clothes and jade food, even Ling'er has become much more delicate and delicate now.

Thinking that after he came to this era, he climbed step by step from a small military household to the position of the current general Dingyuan and the commander of Qingzhou, although it only took less than two years, but he didn't know how many twists and turns he had gone through, thinking of this, Pang Gang couldn't help but be a little stupid.

Seeing Pang Gang staring straight at herself, Qiao'er couldn't help blushing, twisting the corners of her clothes with her little hands, and slowly lowered her head.

After a while, Pang just came back to his senses, and found that it was very rude to find that he was staring at people in such a daze, and he retracted his gaze with some embarrassment, and had the heart to say a few words to this pretty girl, but he didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, Wei Manyao, who had finished bathing after a while, walked out wearing a thin veil, and the small belly pocket in the tulle was still faintly visible.

After Wei Manyao came out, she immediately beckoned Qiao'er to go in and bathe, and she came to Ailang's side and sat down, Haotou leaned on Ailang's chest. But I didn't expect that the thin clothes couldn't hide the spring at all, Pang Gang was tall and tall, but he looked down from the top to see the spring color thoroughly. I saw that the belly pocket of the beautiful woman was slightly stuck with the full twin peaks, and the restraints on her chest couldn't stop its bulge at all, stretching out a pair of round and full jade rabbits. Although the pair of jade rabbits is not very big, the shape is good, the luster is moving, like two full tear-shaped pearls, pearlescent and moist, as if echoing the heavy feel.

Wei Manyao just wanted to say something, but as if she felt something, she looked up, only to realize that Ailang's hot gaze had seen her thoroughly, and her pretty face turned red and white Pang Gang, so she tightened the clothes on her body, twisted her little hand on Ailang's legs, and said angrily, "There are very beautiful things, don't take the trip to Hangzhou together." ”

Pang Gang, who was very disappointed in his heart, muttered unwillingly, and then he made a trip to Hangzhou one by one, and even did not hide the incident of meeting Liu Ruis and Chen Yuanyuan halfway, he knew very well that the IQ of this delicate and weak talented woman in front of him was much higher than his own, and it was better to confess now than to let her know later.

However, to Pang Gang's surprise, Wei Manyao did not have any unusual expressions after hearing about Chen Yuanyuan and his daughters, but had some other opinions on Pang Gang's forcing Zhejiang Governor Wu Yadong to hand over the murderer.

"Chaodong, you forced Governor Wu to kill Yan Benge and Yan Zheng is too impatient, it is easy to provoke the disgust of all the officials in Hangzhou against you, you have already offended the merchants of Hangzhou by blocking the Hangzhou wharf and forcibly collecting taxes, and now you have offended the officials in Hangzhou, I really don't know who else you dare not offend." Wei Manyao crouched in Ailang's arms, Pang Gang stretched out his big hand and gently stroked her green silk, Wei Manyao squinted comfortably, but his mouth blamed Ailang for not being too impulsive.

Pang Gang smiled bitterly and explained, "You also know, my temper doesn't like to suffer losses, and besides, everyone wants my life, if I can endure it, won't I become a turtle?" ”

"Flutter!" Wei Manyao laughed, nudged him dissatisfiedly and scolded with a smile, "You're so stupid, I didn't want you to swallow your anger, but there are some things that you can't do secretly, why do you have to borrow Wu Yadong's hand to get rid of them, isn't this giving people a handle?" Look at it, this time the imperial court will definitely not give up, and it is estimated that the emperor will definitely order Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, to send troops to fight against you. ”

"Expected." Pang Gang turned the body of the beautiful woman in his arms over and kissed him on the smooth forehead, and said nonchalantly: "Now there are so many soldiers left in the imperial court, it is estimated that in addition to Shandong, he will not dare to mobilize other soldiers and horses, after all, your husband and I have not yet raised the banner of rebellion and officially rebelled, and it is inconvenient for him to send troops and horses to deal with me with great fanfare." ”

"You." Wei Manyao bit his chest hard and said bitterly: "Everyone is worried about death, you still look heartless, can't you let me and my father save some snacks?" ”

Pang Gang looked at the beautiful woman with anxious eyes in her eyes, and was moved to wrap his hand around her weak and boneless waist, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Manyao, it's me who is not good, and I dragged you and my father-in-law into the water." ”

"Before we got married, we called my father-in-law, and you weren't shy." Wei Manyao blushed and took a sip gently.

"Sooner or later." Pang Gang's skin is not ordinarily thick.

Glancing at Ai Lang, Wei Manyao asked viciously: "Don't say these useless things, if the imperial court really sends a messenger to arrest you into Beijing, what should you do?" ”

When it came to business, Pang Gang slowly narrowed his eyes and spit out cold words from his mouth: "If the imperial court really wants me to die, I will never learn from that Yue Wumu, although I Pang Gang is just a small general of Sanpin Dingyuan, but I am not a soft persimmon that anyone can handle." If the emperor really sent General Liu to ask for my life, then the army in my hands would not be vegetarian. ”

"I knew there would be such a day." Wei Manyao weakly snuggled Haoshou into Ailang's arms and said softly, "Chaodong, do you know? Since you first came to Wei Mansion, I have seen a different thing in your eyes, this kind of thing may be called ambition or unyielding, and I have also found from your words and deeds that you lack a very important thing for the court and the emperor, that is, the fear of the emperor, it may be that you are missing this kind of thing, so you will come to this point! But it's this kind of thing that makes people can't help but like you. ”

Pang Gang listened to the words of the beautiful woman in his arms, and sighed in his heart for this talented woman's keen observation while secretly smiling bitterly, is it ambitious? Perhaps, since the later generations, I was born with a lack of fear of imperial power, especially after knowing that the Ming regime could no longer hold out for a few years, my fear of the Ming imperial power was even weaker.

And he came to this point only because he didn't have a pig's tail on his head, for the sake of not being the people under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, and he was not willing to kneel down to those wild boar skins as slaves, so he slowly came to this day with the help of that mutation book. To be honest, if you travel to Hongwu, Yongle, or even Zhengde, then the ghost is willing to work against the imperial court, honestly be your own commander, and marry five or six beautiful wives and concubines to live comfortably, isn't it better?

Thinking of this, Pang Gang sighed lightly and said, "Manyao, in fact, I don't want to be like this, I"

"You don't have to say it." A warm Rouyi gently covered his mouth, Wei Manyao said softly: "I know that you have great ambitions, and my Daming is now stormy, it is naturally not surprising that you have that kind of mind, if it weren't for this, you wouldn't be the one who makes Manyao like it, but the world is impermanent, you must be careful, don't forget that Sister Ruolan, Sister Xuezhu and the concubine are all dependent on you." ”

The beauty was deeply in love, and Pang Gang couldn't help but bow his head and kiss again

The day after Pang Gang returned to Qingzhou, he issued several orders, except for 2,000 soldiers and horses left in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and transferred all the remaining soldiers and horses to Qingzhou. In addition, all the officers of more than 100 households in Qingzhou were summoned to a meeting outside Qingzhou.

On November 28 of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the entire Qingzhou city began to quit smoking in the name of guarding against the rogues, and another 8,000 troops gathered outside the city of Qingzhou.

Outside the city of Qingzhou, almost all the officers gathered together, Li Yuan, Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi, Cheng Kai, Bin Shiqian, Qi Wuming and many other thousand households, as well as Laizhou commander Tongzhi Weijiang and other generals all gathered together, and all of them gathered in Pang Gang's big tent.

Everyone felt a little apprehensive about Pang Gang's sudden emergency order, why did General Dingyuan suddenly gather them together, is there another war?

However, the vast majority of generals welcomed the war, and you didn't see those who followed Pang Gang, who were promoted in less than two years, and who became rich. Let's just say that the officers and sergeants who followed Pang Gang to support North Korea last time, some of them also received a reward of ten taels or dozens of taels of silver, and those who became officials even had hundreds or even hundreds of taels.

Looking at the officials of the army in the big tent, Pang Gang smiled slightly, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official said that there is nothing else to do to gather you today, but there is one thing to inform everyone, that is, the imperial court is going to send someone to arrest this official and enter Beijing!" ”

"Boom"

As soon as Pang Gang's words fell, the big tent suddenly boiled like a scoop of water sprinkled into a boiling oil pot.

"My lord, why is that, why!"

"Isn't that kidding?"

After the shock, all the officers asked questions one after another, and almost all of them couldn't believe their ears, how could the well-behaved imperial court send someone to arrest and command the envoy into Beijing.

"Okay guys, guys, listen to what your lord has to say." As Pang Gang's hardcore confidant, Da Da Zheng saw the crowd in the big tent and shouted loudly, and Pang Gang just sat on the main seat and looked at everyone lightly, and his new pro-soldier captain Shi Bowen held a waist knife in his hand and a group of pro-soldiers stared coldly at the officers in the big tent.

"Yes, yes, let's hear what the huge man has to say." Everyone slowly quieted down, staring at Pang Gang waiting for his explanation.

Pang Gang sat on the main seat, looked around at everyone with majestic eyes, and said: "Everyone, the cause of the matter is very complicated, and this official will make a long story short, this official offended those officials and gentry in Hangzhou City in order to raise food a few days ago, and they jointly sued this official. Under the anger of the emperor Long Yan, he had already sent Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the military department, to lead the Jinyi Guard and Shandong Liu's general soldiers, with 8,000 soldiers and horses, had already set off from Jinan, and was rushing to Qingzhou, to bring the official lock into Beijing. That's it, what do you say? ”

"What, the imperial court sent General Liu to arrest the adults into Beijing?" The generals in the tent were shocked and angry, and the news was so sudden that there was a brief silence in the tent.

Pang Gang squinted at the generals and was silent, while Shi Bowen kept holding the waist knife in his hand and looked at everyone coldly.

After a long time, Laizhou, who was standing in the front row, commanded Tongzhi Weijiang and bowed his hand to Pang Gang: "General, is there no way to undo it, maybe you can write a letter of self-defense?" ”

Pang Gang shook his head: "The holy decree has been issued, Chen Xinjia and Liu Zeqing and other eight thousand soldiers and horses have already driven to Qingzhou, do you say there is still room for redemption?" ”

Wei Jiang shook his head gloomily and retreated, everyone looked at each other and none of them made a sound, and then Pang Gang said: "Okay, I have already told everyone about the matter, anyway, this is the case, what kind of temper I Pang Gang is, everyone also knows that the official will not do it, and whoever wants the official to die will not let him have a good time." ”

Pang Gang's cold tone shocked everyone, what did General Dingyuan mean by this? Is he going to rebel?

As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Pang Gang continued: "Maybe everyone is wondering if the official is going to rebel, and the official can clearly tell everyone that the official won't yet, but if someone forces the official to a certain step, the official won't mind giving it a try." Now the official will ask, is there anyone willing to go with the official? ”

The atmosphere in the big tent began to tense with Pang Gang's words, and then Da Zhuang, dressed in chain mail, walked out, looked around at everyone with bright eyes and sneered: "Don't forget, who gave everyone the good words now, I can tell everyone clearly, if there is no huge person, can everyone be so moisturized?" Anyway, I'm going to follow a huge person, if anyone dares to be half-hearted, I'll go in with him with a white knife and a red knife out! ”

As soon as Da Zhuang's words fell, Wang Zhi, Li Yuan, Cheng Kai, and a group of hundreds of households all stood up and knelt down on one knee to Pang Gang, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for my lord!" ”

"I am willing to die for my lords!"

More and more people in the big tent stood up and knelt down, and Wei Jiang, who was the tallest in the big tent except for Pang Gang, looked at Pang Gang and looked around, and finally knelt down.

Now there are only a few officers left in the big tent, these people are the old officers of Qingzhou or various guards, Pang Gang looked at them and smiled: "Of course, those who don't want to follow the official will not force you to stay, so you can go back and leave Qingzhou with your family, but when you meet the official on the battlefield later, we will be enemies." ”

There were about five or six military reinforcements still standing in the big tent, and they looked at each other and left the big tent without saying a word.

"Phew!" Looking at the backs of those people, Da Zhuang spat and scolded in a low voice: "These ungrateful villains. ”

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Pang Gang smiled and said: "Okay, everyone get up, from today on, you are my good brother Pang Gang who lives and dies together, and Pang Gang will never treat everyone badly." But since everyone chose to follow me Pang Gang, then don't do anything double-faced, otherwise someone fat will also kill! ”

Pang Gang's gloomy words made everyone shiver in unison, and everyone hurriedly responded in unison: "Don't worry, my lord, I want my lord to go to the soup and fight the fire!" ”

"That's good, since that's the case, everyone will listen to the orders of the official."

On the official road from Jinan to Qingzhou, a long procession came, and Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the military department sent by the imperial court to arrest Pang Gang who had just returned to the capital, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, were in the center of this team.

At this time, Chen Xinjia was still wearing a vermilion official uniform, but the original bright and neat official uniform almost turned gray after a continuous march, and he had always been pampered and pampered, and there were a few bubbles on his lips, and his dusty face was also black and yellow, which showed that he had really suffered a lot in the past few days, and there were more than a dozen brocade guards wearing brocade clothes and embroidered spring knives at the waist behind him. And all around are Ming troops wearing mandarin duck battle jackets.

Chen Xinjia took out the sheepskin kettle on his waist and poured a few big mouthfuls into his mouth before asking Liu Zeqing beside him: "General soldier Liu, how long will it take for us to get to Qingzhou." ”

Liu Zeqing said without thinking: "You can arrive tomorrow." ”

Chen Xinjia said weakly: "After arriving in Qingzhou, you have to rest for a few days, it was all caused by this Pang Gang." ”

Liu Zeqing smiled bitterly: "My lord, don't be too happy, this Pang Gang is not so easy to deal with." ”

"Why, does he dare to resist the imperial army?" Chen Xinjia sneered and said: "I think that all the generals in Qingzhou are deeply favored by the emperor, if that Pang Gang dares to do something rebellious, this official will behead him on the spot." ”

Chen Xinjia's resentment towards Pang Gang has been a year or two from time to time, since the beginning of this year, when Pang Gang scolded Chen Xinjia at the Jinluan Palace, Chen Xinjia completely hated Pang Gang, so as soon as he heard that Chongzhen was going to escort Pang Gang into Beijing, he was very active and applied to the emperor for this errand.

Looking at the distant sky, Chen Xinjia felt a burst of excitement in his heart, as if he had seen the scene of Pang Gang being captured and whipping him at will to retaliate against him
