Chapter 54: Housewigs, Prostitutes, and Spies
Is it okay to ask for a recommendation ticket?
Crouching Tiger Fang, the general's first, in the study, lonely men and widows share a room, and it seems that they are talking about things in the middle of the storm......
Guo Fu'er showed a smile, looked at Chen Dexing and said, "Second brother, were you worried that your family has no money?" Don't worry, now the family has become rich, and there is no shortage of a few small money, in fact...... With your identity and appearance, second brother, isn't it a trivial matter to want a few beautiful family tricks? Maybe there will be a head in Wazi Alley (referring to the beautiful play) to post it! β
Upside down...... Of course it's possible! Chen Dexing's memories of this life told him that such a good thing was really not something that the Ximen official in "Golden Vase Plum" had the opportunity to encounter. In the current Southern Song Dynasty, any young and handsome official, as long as he beckoned outside the tile fence, there were a large number of half-red and non-red fans rushing to give him a hug. After all, Miss (Miss of the Song Dynasty refers to **) can't do this business for a lifetime, if you can't find a person to rely on when you are still in good shape, and wait until you are old and relaxed, will anyone like it?
Chen Dexing's cheeks were flushed by Guo Fu'er's words, and he waved his hand again and again, "Mother, what the children want is not domestic tricks and prostitutes, but I want to buy some boys to educate them carefully and teach them martial arts and the art of war......"
This idea, Chen Dexing has long mentioned to Jia Yidao, is the cultivation and training method of the Turkish Sultan's personal soldiers in history! Jia Rudao didn't dare to do this, but Chen Dexing had to do it! He doesn't want a "storm pavilion" to fall on his head in ten or fifteen years!
Guo Fu'er was surprised and said: "This is to raise a fake army...... Second brother, do you know that this is a taboo? Yue Wumu didn't dare to do it in the past! β
Chen Dexing's tone was cold, "That's why there is the Wind Wave Pavilion!" If Yue Wumu and Yu Qiaoyin both have 3,000 false soldiers, would the officials dare to take their lives? β
Guo Fu'er took a breath and looked around, there were only two people in the room, "Second brother, what are you going to do?" β
Chen Dexing said: "Mother, now is a troubled time...... Maybe the world will be overturned! When the time comes, Song will lose his deer! β
Guo Fu'er frowned her delicate willow eyebrows again, and said in a trembling voice: "Second brother, don't you want to scare your mother...... Such things will be destroyed! β
Chen Dexing glanced at her and said: "If Yangzhou City is broken, as a martial artist, I will only die, what should my mother do?" β
"Naturally, it is death!" Guo Fuer's answer was categorical.
"If the Great Song Kingdom dies, Yangzhou City is not broken, and I am not dead, what should my mother do?"
"When ......," Guo Fu'er shook her head, this question is not easy to answer. Yangzhou City was broken, Chen Dexing died, and it was naturally impossible for her to live and wait for the Beiyu to insult her. But if Chen Dexing was also alive before the Great Song Dynasty died in Yangzhou, what would Guo Fuer do? What should Chen Dexing do?
"Isn't that going to be the case?"
Chen Dexing shook his head and said: "No, it's not that it won't be, but sooner or later!" In the past one or two decades, I have formed righteous brothers today and practiced the false army, which is to prepare for the great calamity in the coming days. β
"What if the whole world is overturned?"
"Advance can help the sky, retreat can avoid overseas." Chen Dexing gritted his teeth, "It's just...... Swear not to share the sky with the northern captives! β
This is all he has planned at the moment - in the face of the surging Mongolian iron cavalry, he has neither the certainty of victory, nor the determination to go to the cliff mountain and jump into the sea, all he can do is fight and walk...... Now when I talk to Guo Fuer, I regard her as a real caring person. Of course, it is also based on his understanding of Guo Fuer in this life, this woman can support the big business here in Yangzhou, and she can show up and take care of a crude medicine shop in an orderly manner, even if she is placed in the next generation, she can also be worthy of the three words of a strong woman.
"Mother, would you like to advance and retreat with the child?" Chen Dexing looked at Guo Fu'er with blazing eyes.
"Second brother, look at what you asked, what if your mother doesn't go back with you?" Guo Fu'er's breathing was a little short, because she knew what it meant!
Chen Dexing nodded and said, "Then...... Mother, can I use my family's money to buy dozens of boys to be educated in the army? β
Guo Fu'er shook her head slightly and said, "Boys don't want money...... Now the cheapest people in Yangzhou City are the children who are about ten years old, and there are too many of them in the big school field to count, as long as they have a full mouth, they can take them home. It's just that you can't just buy boys, that will make people criticize, and if you add a few beautiful tricks, no one will say anything. β
Chen Dexing is a martial artist, a young man, it is when the blood is strong, what is strange about liking beautiful and prostituted children? When it reached Jia Rudao's ears, the traitor would only laugh at it, even if the officials in Lin'an knew about it, they wouldn't say anything. Now the generals in the Great Song Army, who is not like this?
"Since that's the case...... Chen Dexing paused, knowing that he couldn't be a green lotus that came out of the mud without staining, so he nodded and said, "If it's a beautiful thing, I will ask my mother to bother to handle it for the child." β

On the same night, in the artillery barracks, there was also a faint light coming out of the wing room that was used as a classroom for the camp martial arts school!
In the barracks, there was already silence at this time, only the soldiers on the night patrol knocked on the Bangzi to report safety, and walked around. Some soldiers saw the lights coming from the martial arts school, but they didn't pay attention to it, because they had already sent someone to check it, and the person who was reading at night was a member of the artillery army.
But if they look again, they might be surprised!
The figure in the wing room is lying on the desk, and the sample of the torsion stone machine is spread out on the bookcase! I saw that the man really used a brush to draw carefully, and copied all the lines on the sample drawing one by one on another piece of Xuanzhou paper. It's just that there is no ruler or compass, and the lines are a little crooked. When he had finished drawing the lines, the man began to copy the numbers jΓΉ on the sample drawing, and the Arabic numerals were neatly written.
It wasn't until he had copied all the numbers that the man let out a long breath, smiled with satisfaction, and then said in an inaudible voice: "It's finally done, and it's not in vain that I have worked hard, this Chen Dexing has some real material......
After speaking, he blew on the Xuanzhou paper full of lines for a while, until the ink was dry, and then carefully folded it and put it away and put it into his arms. Then he put away the sample of the torsion stone machine on the table, put it in a wooden box in the side room, and put it on the copper lock. At last he blew out the oil lamp, crept out, and disappeared into the endless darkness.
β¦β¦
It was also on this night that Yangzhou City, Wazi Lane, was on top of a rather secluded small building. At this time, there was also a dim light, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo came out. Although Yangzhou City is under curfew, the slightly higher-grade hook bar in Wazi Lane is still doing business. In Yangzhou City, which is at the forefront of the war, can you go to the high-end brothel in Wazi Lane to spend money, except for the generals who lead the troops to fight, can there be others? Jia Nidao's curfew order is a dead letter to them.
However, the patronage of this small building with the plaque of the Ming Jade Pavilion is an old man and a young scholar, the younger one is a very handsome scholar, a cardigan, a Dongpo scarf, a small sword with a ruler hanging on the belt, and a white and slender right hand is also holding a fan, which is playing a melodious tune with Cui Yue'er, the head of the line, and is gently fanning.
The old man wore a silk cardigan, a Dongpo scarf, a square face and a wide mouth, and a majestic bearing in his eyebrows. However, when this man spoke to the young scholar, he was quite respectful.
"San Lang-kun, how are her old men okay all these years? The subordinates and brothers miss it a lot. As long as her old man said a word, it would be good for us to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, but the Southern Dynasty didn't believe that we, the northerners, were not allowed to take charge of the army, and they had been idle for many years...... If you want to be an internal response, I'm afraid it won't work. β
