Liu Ziqiu was overjoyed and asked repeatedly: "Do you know who Shi Huiniang's husband is?" ”

Vanilla followed behind Liu Ziqiu step by step and whispered: "Shi Huiniang's husband is the big leader of the Yushan Bandits!" ”

It turned out that because of the impostor, Shi Huiniang's family was afraid of being found out by the imperial court, so they hurriedly fled Luoyang under Gao Xiuer's reminder. They were originally going to Changshan Village in the south of the Yangtze River to join Liu Ziqiu, but they couldn't afford to hire a boat, so they could only take a dry road to Shandong, and suddenly encountered a gang of thieves blocking the road and robbing them. The gang of thieves took away their luggage, and when they saw Shi Huiniang's beauty, they had to insult them in public. It so happened that a team of men passed by, beat off the thieves, and saved the family.

The leader of this team is a child of a family, surnamed Cheng Mingzhijie, who is righteous and settles Shi Huiniang's family in his Zhuangzi. Shi Huiniang's parents came to save Cheng Zhijie because of him, and when they saw Cheng Zhijie's honest family, they intended to marry their daughter to him. That Cheng Zhijie also loves Shi Huiniang's beauty, and he knows how to be a gift. The two sides hit it off, and Shi Huiniang became Mrs. Cheng.

The family lived in Chengjiazhuang and was originally carefree. didn't want the good times to last long, but a few months later, the imperial court suddenly made a list, drew pictures and graphics, and went around arresting Shi Huiniang's family. It was only at this time that Cheng Zhijie knew that Shi Huiniang was originally a beauty who was selected to enter the palace. However, this Cheng Zhijie has always been bold and didn't care, and continued to let Shi Huiniang's family stay in Zhuangzi. After another half a year, Cheng Zhijie beat a Zhuang slave after drinking, and the Zhuang slave held a grudge and ran to the government to inform. Seeing that the officers and soldiers surrounded Zhuangzi, Cheng Zhijie not only handed over Shi Huiniang, but also relied on his courage to kill those officers and soldiers in pieces.

Soon, a group of thieves in Shandong swarmed, and the world was in chaos. Lu Mingyue, Xu Yuanlang and others have all come to woo Cheng Zhijie one after another, but this Cheng Zhijie has insight, thinks that it is difficult for them to succeed, and refuses to go along with them. However, he was weak and weak, and he was not the opponent of these people, so he was finally forced to go away and fled to the Yushan area. Because Cheng Zhijie specializes in robbing the rich and helping the poor on weekdays, he does not harm the local people, so he is very popular with the people, and it has gradually become the climate. It wasn't until half a year ago that Lu Xingxing and others came from Hebei and occupied Dangshan, often fighting with the people of Yushan, and their lives became sad.

When Liu Ziqiu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "It turned out to be another story of a hero saving beauty, but I don't know how Lu Dao Xiu'er persuaded her?" ”

Vanilla covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister's method is very simple, just promise her that she will let her children study with Mr. Yu in the future." ”

Liu Ziqiu nodded: "This is also human nature, and it is understandable." ”

……

Entering the big tent, Shi Huiniang was very well-behaved this time, with a little shyness, and said a blessing to Liu Ziqiu: "The people have seen adults. ”

Obviously, Gao Xiuer did not reveal her and Liu Ziqiu's true identities. This era also has the advantages of this era, there is no television, there are no newspapers, no matter how big a celebrity you are, if there is no one to introduce you, others will not recognize you.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand: "No need to be polite, I want to meet your husband Cheng Zhijie." ”

Shi Huiniang said with a look of embarrassment: "Lord Hui, the woman really doesn't know where he is now. ”

Gao Xiu'er also said beside her: "Husband, I believe that Huiniang is not lying. ”

Although Shi Huiniang was willing to persuade her husband to surrender, her husband did not show up, and she had nothing to do. Liu Ziqiu lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly remembered something: "Shi Huiniang, does your husband still have a name called Cheng Yanjin?" ”

Shi Huiniang was taken aback: "That's my family's Langjun's nickname, how do adults know?" ”

In fact, Liu Ziqiu also guessed blindly. Cheng Yanjin's name is like thunder, but he has never heard of the name Cheng Zhijie. In fact, Cheng Yanjin's real name in history is called Cheng Zhijie, but Liu Ziqiu doesn't know the way.

"In this way, it is impossible for Liu to stay here for a long time, and he will go south in the near future, so you will set off with Liu, find your husband in the future, and then invite him to come and meet." confirmed his guess, and Liu Ziqiu's desire to find out Cheng Zhijie was even more urgent. If such a fierce man cannot be included in his command, he must not be allowed to wander on the rivers and lakes, otherwise it will be an unstable factor for the newly established Han Dynasty.

Shi Huiniang's expression darkened: "Isn't the adult going to take the women hostage?" ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, when our fleet passes this three-way zone, we will send someone to escort you back." And Xiu'er's promise to you is still valid, when the child in your womb is born, it can be sent to Luoyang, and everything will be arranged. ”

This makes sense. After all, the Dangshan bandits have been destroyed, and now the biggest threat to this fleet is the bandits of Yushan. As long as Shi Huiniang is detained on the boat, of course Yushan Qunkou will not dare to act rashly. And after passing through this water, it will be out of the range of the potential of the Yushan bandits, and the fleet will be safe.

Shi Huiniang thought about it, then bowed down and said, "Please rest assured, there are women on the boat, and no one dares to plot wrongdoing." ”

Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't want to use Shi Huiniang as a hostage to cover the fleet going south, if he really wanted to leave, he could mobilize the sailors to escort him. Of course, he could also forcibly escort Shi Huiniang onto the boat, but doing so might frighten Shi Huiniang and even affect the child in her belly. In case something happens to Shi Huiniang, the plan to subdue Cheng Zhijie will be completely frustrated, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm. This is obviously not the result that Liu Ziqiu wants to see, and Liu Ziqiu's purpose is just to use Shi Huiniang to lure out Cheng Zhijie.

……

Soon, news spread along the canal that the officers and soldiers had captured the wife of the Yushan bandit leader and were planning to take her with them to Jiangnan. At the beginning, in the school grounds, many people saw Shi Huiniang being taken away by officers and soldiers, and now there is such news again, and no one can't help but believe it.

At this time, all the other people who were arrested by the officers and soldiers had been released home, but Shi Huiniang never came back, which further confirmed the accuracy of this news. It can be said that the entire canal was the eyes and ears of Cheng Zhijie, and the news immediately reached him.

In this era, women have a low status, but Cheng Zhijie is different to Shi Huiniang, he really likes this beautiful woman, not to mention that Shi Huiniang still has his child in her belly. As a man, how can Cheng Zhijie tolerate the abduction of his woman, and even the future of the child is unpredictable? Cheng Zhijie was furious, and immediately shot the case: "Someone! Gather the brothers and go with So-and-so to snatch the lady back! ”

Left and right hurriedly persuaded: "King, I'm afraid this is a trap set by the officers and soldiers, I hope the king will think twice!" ”

How could Cheng Zhijie not know that Lu Dao was a trap, but he knew very well that he was able to get the support of the people around him, in addition to robbing the rich and helping the poor, a large part of the reason was that he was righteous. If he doesn't even dare to save his wife and children if they are taken away, how can he convince the public? So no matter what, he can't sit idly by. It was precisely because of this consideration that Cheng Zhijie gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Gather everyone tonight, I don't believe that you can't attack the camp of the official army." ”

Regarding the camp set up by the officials and soldiers on the bank of the canal, Cheng Zhijie's subordinates had already heard about the reality. There were only about 600 women in the camp, including women, all of whom had been removed from the three official ships. Moreover, the people who came down from these ships were very supportive, not only did they not need the surrounding local troops to come to protect them, but they were not even allowed to approach casually. This also makes a certain vacuum area formed around the camp, on the contrary, in this area, there are more people and horses in Yushan, but these people and horses are disguised as ordinary people.

Cheng Zhijie is not a brave and unscrupulous person, and he made such a decision after carefully analyzing the comparison of the strength of the two sides.

I have to say that Cheng Zhijie's appeal among the Yushan thieves is quite strong. Although with the advance of the officers and soldiers of the brigade, the Yushan bandits have been broken into pieces and infiltrated the people. But with Cheng Zhijie's order, a team of more than 2,000 people was soon assembled. These people have been begging for a living on the water all year round, and the ambush fleet should be more adept, and storming the camp of officers and soldiers like this is not the best choice. But there was also a problem with the ambush fleet, that is, they didn't know when the road fleet would depart, and they couldn't concentrate a large number of troops when the officers and soldiers of the surrounding brigade were watching. If you insist on doing it on the water, I am afraid that you will not be able to defeat the sailors of the official army. I can't remember, so I can only choose to attack.

At nightfall, the camp on the bank of the canal was silent, except for the occasional light of one or two torches, which were supposed to be patrolling. As for the three official ships, they were also quietly leaning on the shore, and they couldn't even see a little light.

More than a mile away, there was a soft sound in the river, and dozens of men who were proficient in water dived to the bottom of the river and slowly leaned towards the three official boats. This is also Cheng Zhijie's strategy, in case the strong attack fails, at least the official ship must be destroyed, so that these people cannot go south for the time being. Gain some time, and he can make another decision.

In the darkness, a group of blurred figures gradually approached the camp. By a little starlight, you can vaguely see the two guards at the gate of the village with spears, their heads down, motionless, as if they have fallen asleep. And in the camp, even the light of the torches of the patrol could not be seen.

Cheng Zhijie waved his hand, and two men behind him casually threw the short knives in their hands. The dagger flashed with cold light and quickly sank into the throats of the two guards. The two guards only shook a little, and they didn't even have time to scream.

With a successful blow, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but be overjoyed and made a gesture to the back. Hundreds of men in vigorous suits jumped up from the grass and rushed to the big village by the canal. In the big village, all the camp tents were black and rumbling, obviously defenseless. Cheng Zhijie couldn't hold it back, holding the lance in his hand, he jumped up and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army like flying.
