Not to mention, don't look at Little Pepper Pei Cuiyun's pungent personality, acting like a man, and shouting and killing at every turn, her temper is extremely violent, but when she seriously put on women's clothes and stood in front of Chen Yingliang with a curling face, Chen Yingliang's eyes were really difficult to take off her face for a while.

Chen Yingliang is not a junior brother who has never seen the world, his past fiancée Chai Qian, his current wife eldest grandson Wuji, and Chen Yingliang's de facto wife Yang Yuer, all of them are first-class in appearance, but after Pei Cuiyun put on women's clothes and dressed up seriously, she seems to be slightly better than them, her pretty face is happy and hateful, there are no dead ends, her nose and cherry lips, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her graceful figure that has been exercised for a long time is far above Yang Yuer and Chai Qian. Chen Yingliang, who had a good nature, inevitably swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly, faintly regretting that he missed the marriage with her.

Not only Chen Yingliang was dumbfounded, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Ma Sanbao and others next to him were also stunned and distracted, and the eldest grandson Wuji was still very worried, "This fox spirit is so seductive, and he has been entangled with his brother-in-law, my brother-in-law should not do anything to be sorry for my sister." ”

Seeing Chen Yingliang and the others looking at him tightly, Pei Cuiyun was proud and a little shy, so he shiny the white fox fur on his body to Chen Yingliang, and said gently: "How about this fur?" Is it good-looking? ”

"The clothes are good-looking, but the key is to look good." Chen Yingliang said a big truth, but of course this big truth made the eldest grandson of the eldest brother-in-law Wuji angry, and reminded Chen Yingliang with angry eyes that he was already a married man, Pei Cuiyun lowered his head shyly, and his heart was secretly happy.

Very generously bought three sets of good women's clothes for Pei Cuiyun, and bought a set of exquisite jewelry, Chen Yingliang did not rush back to the post house to stay, nor did he go to the county office to find trouble with Xu Minlian and Dong You and others, but very Chen Shimei took the junior Pei Cuiyun to wander around the streets of Yongcheng County, took the opportunity to familiarize himself with the streets of Yongcheng, and tried his best to persuade Pei Cuiyun, who was already a little impatient, to go out of the city with him and go to the crowded canal wharf to take a walk. The result was the same as Chen Yingliang expected, Pei Cuiyun, who was dressed up and moving, really went there and was the focus of attention, seducing countless amazing and greedy eyes, and it was not uncommon for him to quietly inquire about Pei Cuiyun's origins.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Ma Sanbao knew the purpose of Chen Yingliang taking Pei Cuiyun shopping, and of course they had no opinion on accompanying Chen Yingliang to wander around the city, but Pei Cuiyun, who had a straightforward personality, would have been a little impatient, if it wasn't really interesting to Chen Yingliang, and he knew that he cherished the time with Chen Yingliang, and Pei Cuiyun, who didn't like to hang out, would definitely have raised his legs and left. Fortunately, when accompanying Chen Yingliang to the canal wharf, Pei Cuiyun finally found something that could relieve the boredom - the Sui army team and the auxiliary team guarding the wharf were gathered together, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Chen Yingliang was also very interested in these situations, and took Pei Cuiyun, Ma Sanbao and others to the Sui army team to check the situation, and finally squeezed into the crowd of onlookers, Chen Yingliang and Pei Cuiyun saw that a Sui military captain was shouting in the circle, "...... Did you hear it all? Repeat, the day after tomorrow afternoon, Taifu's fleet will arrive in Yongcheng, and when the time comes, cheer up Lao Tzu and beware of the thief team, Xu Taishou has let go, if something happens to Taifu's ship, Captain Li and I won't be able to live, and none of you will want to live! ”

"You also saw with your own eyes what happened just now!" Another Sui military captain with a wound on his face also shouted, pointing to the whip wound on his face and shouting: "Xu Taishou personally ordered me to be whipped ten times in public!" If you don't want to be as unlucky as Lao Tzu, you will be honest with Lao Tzu, if the big officials from the Eastern Capital are not satisfied, Lao Tzu will have to be whipped, and you can't run away! ”

Chen Yingliang inquired about the situation from the surrounding people, and only then did he know that Xu Minlian had also come to the dock to inspect just now, because he found that Li Cai, the captain who was guarding the dock, took the lead in being lazy, and hid in the tavern next to the dock to sleep in the daytime, so he asked the messenger to draw Li Cai in public to correct the military law, and asked the Sui army team to be on an errand and prepare to welcome the Hou Taifu fleet.

In this regard, Chen Yingliang was of course secretly happy in his heart, knowing that the news would spread soon, but the next thing made Chen Yingliang almost vomit blood - the Yongcheng people who introduced the situation to Chen Yingliang were very confused and asked Chen Yingliang rhetorically: "This son, do you know what kind of yamen Taifu is?" Why is it so important? Let Xu Taishou be so good-tempered people are angry? ”

"It's a good thing that I'm here to check on the situation, otherwise this thing will be wasted." Chen Yingliang secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly explained to the people: "Taifu is the yamen that guards the treasure house for the emperor, and the jewelry, jade, gold and silver treasures used by the emperor are all guarded and transported by this yamen. Taifu's ship came to Yongcheng this time to send some jewels and jade to the emperor's Yongcheng Palace, and then sent more jewelry to Jiangdu Palace. ”

When he said this, Chen Yingliang used his voice very loudly, so that the other people next to him could also hear it, and he was ready to introduce himself as a person from Taifu, but Chen Yingliang's preparation was obviously self-inflicted, after Chen Yingliang learned what kind of yamen Taifu was, the people who answered with Chen Yingliang immediately came to the momentum, and quickly ran to other places to show off their knowledge, Chen Yingliang smiled bitterly at his non-cooperation, but he was helpless, so he had to turn his eyes to the crowd on the dock, observing all kinds of people from the three religions and nine streams on the dock, etc., I prayed in my heart, "There must be spies of thieves among you." ”

………………

Of course, the Tian brothers and Zhang Qian will not disappoint Chen Yingliang, don't look at them are all uneducated peasant mud legs, but after more than a year or two of bandits, the Tian brothers and Zhang Qian have long understood the importance of intelligence without a teacher, and they rely on the Tongji Canal Canal to eat, of course, they attach great importance to the vital Yongcheng Wharf, and they have already arranged more than one spy eyeliner among the batons, slender men and traders, plus the Yongcheng Wharf is not too far from Mangdang Mountain and Ji Mountain, so it was the evening of the same day. The news that the Taifu fleet would arrive in Yongcheng in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow was also sent to the Tian brothers and Zhang Qian respectively.

Let's take a look at the situation on the side of the Tian family brothers, who are currently the most popular in the test, and Chen Yingliang is happy, the Tian family brothers, who are not highly educated, really don't know what Taifu is doing to eat Yamen, and the news spread by Chen Yingliang himself also reached the ears of Tian Bandit's eyeliner, so the eyeliner quickly explained that Taifu was the yamen that showed Emperor Yang of Sui the treasure house, and also explained that the Taifu fleet was to send jewelry to Yongcheng Palace. As a result, the Tian family brothers immediately became greedy, and the hot-tempered boss Tian Heishe immediately shouted: "Good opportunity, if we can make this deal, maybe we can eat and drink for the rest of our lives!" ”

"Big brother, don't be too happy yet, this deal may not be so easy to do." Lao Er Tian Baishe has a treacherous personality and is the military advisor of the Tian bandit team, and said very calmly: "Since that Taifu is for the tyrant Yang Guang to show the treasure house, then their fleet must be protected by a large number of officers and soldiers, with the little strength in our hands, I am afraid we will not be able to take this deal." ”

Tian Heishe is no longer excited and shouting, being able to fight in Qian County for so long, Tian Hei Society is a little self-aware no matter how irritable he is, knowing that although he has a lot of men and horses in his hands, and there are 35,600 people in his reputation, he is actually a group of rabble, with poor weaponry and training, even if it is very difficult to deal with the officers and soldiers in Qian County, let alone the elite of the Sui army from Luoyang, the eastern capital. But no longer acting impulsively, it does not mean that Tian Heishe completely gave up this deal, after calmly thinking about it, Tian Heishe instructed Tian Baishe: "Second brother, you send more people and boats to the upper reaches of the Tongji Canal to see the situation, if there is hope, let's try this deal, if not, forget it, let's not take the team to risk." ”

"That's right, just like the teaching gentleman we slaughtered last time said, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood." Tian Baishe nodded, and dropped a sentence elegantly in the bookbag, and then immediately rejected Hou Yanlina to reconnoiter the situation in the upper reaches of the Tongji Canal without mentioning it.

It was also after Tian Baishe arranged all the scout eyeliner that the eyeliner who came to report the news before said to the Tian family brothers with a smile: "The king, the second king, there is one more thing to tell you, there is a new big beauty in Yongcheng, who is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Big beauty?" Tian Heishe laughed and shouted: "Come on, slap this kid twice for this king, you know what this king likes, and you dare to ask this king if he is interested?!" ”

The two minions stepped forward with a grin, and gave the eyeliner two slaps lightly and heavily, and the eyeliner was also beaten and had a hippie smile, and hurriedly asked Tian Heishe, Tian Heishe asked: "Is it really as beautiful as the fairy in the sky?" That? Have you inquired about the situation clearly? ”

"It's really beautiful, the little one has grown so big, and I've never seen such a beautiful woman." The eyeliner nodded vigorously, and then said: "The little one knows that the king likes these, so I inquired about her situation by the way, I heard that the little lady is from the eastern capital Luoyang, and the Taifu Yamen in Luoyang sent an official to contact the tyrant's Yongcheng Palace, so that Yongcheng is ready to meet the Taifu fleet, and that little lady is following the Taifu official." ”

"Damn, let's put it this way, if this deal is done, Lao Tzu will be able to get both people and money."

Tian Heishe was even more tempted, just at this time, a small minion suddenly ran in outside the door, first attached to Tian Baishe's ear and muttered a few words, and then Tian Baishe's eyes immediately straightened, blurted out: "Really fake? What did they send people for? ”

"Second child, what's wrong?" Tian Heishe asked busily.

"Our sworn enemies, the two captains of the official army, Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen, sent someone to Mangdangshan to contact us, saying that they had something important to discuss with us." Tian Baishe's answer made Tian Heishe also dumbfounded, and the brothers stared at each other for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity, and ordered the messenger of the Yongcheng Sui Army to be brought in.

After a long time, the blindfolded Yongcheng messenger was carried into the room by several small minions, because he was blindfolded with a black cloth and walked a lot of mountain roads, after untying the blindfolded black cloth, the messenger took some effort to finally adapt to the light of the torch, and only then did he see the Tian family brothers sitting side by side in the room, the messenger did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted the Tian family brothers, and said respectfully: "Li Yi, deputy of the Yongcheng garrison, has seen the black king, and has seen the white king. ”

"Li Jiang?" Tian Baishe asked a little suspiciously: "I remember that Li Cai has a younger brother named Li Yi, are you the same person?" ”

"King Bai has a good memory, the younger one is that Li Yi, Li Cai Li Lieutenant, and he is also the elder brother below." Li Yi replied truthfully, and said with a smile: "King Bai, in fact, we have met, but I don't know if you still remember the villain?" The last time you robbed the grain, my eldest brother and I led troops to stop you, and we met from afar. ”

"It's really you." Tian Baishe smiled, his smile was quite hideous, and said: "I can't imagine that you still have the courage to come here, do you know that in the past year or so, how many brothers of this king have died at the hands of your brothers?" ”

"King Bai, each for his own master." Li Yi replied boldly: "Everyone is the same, don't we have many brothers who died at your hands?" ”

"You have the guts to dare to say such things when you come to us." Tian Baishe sneered, and then asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I want to make a big deal with you." Li Yi said straight to the point: "Don't hide it from the two kings, in fact, our brothers don't want to be government soldiers for a long time, what is the situation of our government soldiers, you know, no military salary, no money, and you have to prepare your own armor, weapons and war horses, usually in the military camp in addition to mixing food and drink, the only income is to rely on that bit of war rewards, so poor that the clanging sounds, and may fall to the ground at any time, so our brothers want to make a big deal, and then occupy the mountain as the king like you, eat meat in large pieces, drink in a big bowl, and no longer sell that worthless life to the emperor." ”

"What's the big deal?" This time it was Tanguro who opened the question.

"Our brother received news that in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, a fleet from the eastern capital of Luoyang will arrive in Yongcheng." Li Yi replied in a deep voice: "Xu Minlian personally told my eldest brother Li Cai, saying that the fleet was the fleet of the Eastern Capital Taifu, and the Taifu was a yamen dedicated to the emperor's treasure house, and that fleet was full of gold utensils used by the emperor, what gold bowls, gold cups, golden wine pots, and even the toilets were gold and pearls, and only a small part of these gold jewels were sent to the Yongcheng Palace, and the rest were all sent to the Jiangdu Palace. The eldest brother and I discussed and wanted to find you to join forces to do this deal, and after the matter is completed, we will only take 30%, and you will take 70%. ”

"That's right." Li Yi took out a letter and added: "There is also another captain of Yongcheng, Zhang Huaishen and Brother Zhang, he also promised to join forces to make this deal, he and my eldest brother are friends of life and death, and he has long wanted to sell his life to the emperor, so after our brother tested his meaning, he immediately agreed, and swore with our brother that he would never betray." This is a joint letter from my eldest brother and my eldest brother, please read it. ”

The letter was immediately presented to the Tian brothers, but unfortunately Tian Heishe didn't even know a word, Tian Bai Society Dou Da can only know a load, the brothers had to quickly find the cottage of the tent man, let the captive to keep the account of the literati read the letter, the result of the bookkeeper read the letter, the Tian brothers soon overjoyed, it turned out that Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen really put forward a request with the Tian brothers to join hands to plunder the Taifu fleet, but also explained the reason why they made this request, one is because the treatment of the government soldiers is too poor, Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen can't make ends meet even if they are school captains, and the second is that Xu Minlian, the Taishou of Qianjun, abused his subordinates and whipped Li Cai in public, Li Cai was humiliated, so he made up his mind to join the promising glorious industry of bandits. At the end, the bookkeeper also reported very carefully, saying that at the end of the letter, Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen signed and signed it.

After listening to the content of the letter, Tian Heishe, who had long wanted to make a big deal at Yongcheng Wharf, was suddenly overjoyed, and almost immediately agreed to join hands to make this big deal, but Tian Baishe was very calm, first stopped the eldest brother's impulse with his eyes, and then thought for a moment, Tian Baishe suddenly shouted: "Come on, take this Li Yi down for me, cut it!" ”

Tian Heishe was shocked, and the party Li Yi was also shocked, and exclaimed: "King Bai, why are you killing me?" ”

"Why did you want to kill you?" Tian Baishe carefully observed Li Yi's expression, and said with a cruel smile: "Boy, if you want to lie to me, you are still a little tender!" Say! Are you trying to trick our team into going to the Yongseong docks and set a trap for us?! ”

"What about that?" Li Yi was shocked and screamed: "King Bai, you misunderstood, we didn't lie to you, we just want to join forces with you to make this big deal, there is no other meaning." ”

"Didn't mean anything else?" Tian Baishe smiled even more fiercely, and said, "Since your brother plans to make this deal, and Zhang Huaishen also agrees to join forces with you, then why are you still coming to us for something?" Wouldn't it be enough to make this deal yourself? ”

"Yes!" Tian Heishe also woke up, and hurriedly shouted: "There are only two school officers and soldiers in Yongcheng, since your brother Li Cai is a school captain, and another school captain Zhang Huaishen has also joined forces with you, the officers and soldiers of Yongcheng all listen to you, why don't you do this business yourself?" What else do you come to us for? ”

"I see." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained: "Black King and White King, you are too worried, you don't know, my eldest brother and Brother Zhang are indeed school captains, but there are still four brigade commanders under their hands, eight team leaders and eight team deputies, and they don't completely listen to them, we are preparing to kill the officers and rebel this time, in case these brigade commanders, team leaders, and team deputies don't want to follow us and stand up against us, aren't we just a dead end?" There are also those auxiliaries and errand soldiers, all of them are under the command of the county order Dong You, and my eldest brother and eldest brother Zhang are even more immobile, so my eldest brother and eldest brother Zhang want to ask you for help, as long as you take the team to hijack the ship, my eldest brother and Brother Zhang will join you with the team, even if those brigade commanders and teams don't want to follow us, we can immediately join forces to kill them all! ”

Tian Heishe showed joy again, but Tian Baishe was still skeptical, and hummed again: "It sounds good, the treasure ship of Taifu is said to be robbed?" God knows how many officers and soldiers came with treasure ships. ”

"King Bai, you can put a hundred hearts on this, we have already inquired clearly, there are really not many officers and soldiers escorting the boat this time." Li Yimei said with a flying eyebrow: "Taifu first sent a boy surnamed Liang to Yongcheng, saying that this time Taifu only sent two officers and soldiers to escort the boat to protect it, and also encountered other kings' ship robbery teams in Xingyang County, although it was difficult to kill the ship robbery team on the Xingyang side and save the ship, but the casualties were very heavy, so Xu Minlian asked our Yongcheng team to protect the dock, lest the black king and the white king go to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"Really?" Tian Baishe finally showed some joy.

"King Bai, I have sent myself to the door as a hostage, how dare I lie to you?" Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can send more people to the upper reaches of the Tongji Canal to investigate the situation and see if I am lying to you." If I tell half a lie, you can cut me with a knife. ”

Tian Baishe's face was even more happy, and Li Yi added: "King Bai, King Black, I won't hide it from you, we know that you may not agree, so my eldest brother and Brother Zhang also sent a person to Jishan to contact Zhang Qian and King Zhang, if you don't agree, we can also make this deal with King Zhang." ”

"Who says we won't say yes?" Tian Baishe finally made up his mind, laughed and ordered: "Come on, prepare a banquet, pick up the wind and wash the dust for Brother Li Yi, let's talk while drinking!" ”

Li Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Tian Baishe, Tian Heishe couldn't wait to get up and leave his seat, came over to pull Li Yi laughed, and greeted him affectionately, Tian Baishe used the excuse of personally arranging a banquet, and took the opportunity to call a henchman in front of him, and commanded in a low voice: "You take two people, go to Jishan overnight, inquire about Zhang Qian's situation, and see if Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen really sent someone to contact him." If there is, Zhang Qian also agreed, and asked him for me and the Black King if he was interested in joining forces with us to do this deal. ”

………………

Almost at the same time, in Zhang Qian's cottage located in Jishan, Zhang Qian personally accompanied, and after entertaining another messenger of the Yongcheng official army, he also found an excuse to leave the table temporarily, and also called a reliable confidant, and whispered in his ear: "You immediately take two people to Mangdang Mountain, contact the Heisheng Society and the White Society, and see what they mean, if they also decide to do this deal, ask them if they are interested in joining forces, after the matter is completed, we will also wash the Yongcheng Wharf by the way, and the things we grabbed are divided in half." ”

The henchman agreed, and hurriedly took the order, Zhang Qian, who was not as good as the Tian family brothers, remembered another important matter, and hurriedly called a subordinate and ordered in a low voice: "You send more people and boats to the upper reaches of the Tongji Canal to see the situation, if there is hope, let's try this deal, if not, forget it, let's not take the team to risk." Besides, let's keep an eye on the periphery of Yongcheng on the dock, and report it immediately if we find that the number of officers and soldiers has increased, or if there is any abnormal movement. ”
