Chapter XXIX
Shen Minghuang's entourage watched the two disappear in the waves, and ran to the stone to check, but they couldn't find it, so they hurriedly went back to tell them. All the generals were panicked. Wei Yangyang doesn't matter, another person, but the fifth prince!
Wang Chengdan hurriedly said: "The big war is coming, how can this be good?" Pei Youzhi said: "General soldier Wang, the war is not tight, there is no chance this time, there is a next time." It is imperative to find the five princes! If something happens to him, we'll all be on the ground! Wang Chengdan nodded, "Yes, then let's stay and look for it, General Wei, why don't you go back to Gusu first and prepare for the battle?" Wei Bingyue said angrily: "Mr. Wang, my sister also disappeared with the fifth prince, I can't wait to jump into the river to catch her now, look at me, do you still have the mood to meet the enemy?" ”
Although Wang Chengdan is the chief soldier of Lingzhejiang, he is as high as his father's official position. But they defend the family, after the death of each generation of general soldiers, they will be posthumously awarded the title of "Pingyuan Bo", although this title cannot be hereditary, only posthumously, but it is also a title. Moreover, the position of the chief soldier of his family is hereditary. Naturally, he will not take Wang Chengdan in his eyes. Everyone knows that their brother and sister have a good relationship, and Wei Yangyang is Wei Shuping's only daughter, of course, she must find it.
An Luo said: "General Wang Bing, Your Highness is not here, you are naturally in charge of the overall situation here, the situation in Gusu, you and Pei Guerrilla know best, otherwise you rush back first, we will stay, and General Wei will look for His Highness's traces together." Found it, I'll be back right away. Wang Chengdan sighed: "It can only be like this." He took the others back to Gusu first, leaving Wei Bingyue and An Luo here to continue to search and rescue the five princes and Miss Wei.
Shen Minghuang and Wei Yangyang were naturally not washed away by the tide. Shen Minghuang arranged a lot of people to stand there in advance and enjoy the scenery together. When the tide came, he and Wei Yangyang took off their coats at the same time, threw them into the water, and then stood in the crowd, firmly surrounded by everyone. Because the people who were watching were far away, when the tide receded, everyone's attention was on the stone on which they stood, and they did not see them hiding in the crowd.
And when Ren Jiaxu rushed over to look at the bare stones, his acting skills were even more exciting. He was anxious and afraid, panicked and went back with tears on his face to report the news, and he couldn't help but be unbelieving. After all, the tide is indeed very dangerous, and every year several outsiders with unknown circumstances are washed away. Wang Chengdan thought: "Fire and water are ruthless, Prince Yipin is risking his life, it's really not worth it." So, it must be true. But whether it's worth it or not, only Shen Minghuang knows it in his heart.
Wang Chengdan thought again: "What's more, if the King of Fengquan can't be found, then the King of Baiquan is not one less competitor?" If these two princes enter the East Palace in the future, they should be the first to support them! Therefore, he instructed those who stayed in Qiantang not to be so zealous in searching. After all, it was the King of Fengquan himself who insisted on going, and the emperor blamed him, and he would not want to kill him, the chief soldier, even if Long Yan was furious because of this and dismissed him, but as long as the King of Baiquan was protected, he would always have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
That night, inside the Longbao Temple. Although there was no danger, Wei Yangyang still asked: "Why are we making it so complicated?" Wei Bingyue replied to her: "Because of this, it will make the enemy think that His Highness has been washed away by the water, and we have no leader, and the army is in chaos." Wei Yangyang said again: "Therefore, they will not attack Gusu, because there are heavy guards of the Wei family army, and they will attack Qiantang instead, right?" Because there is only one brother in Qiantang. Shen Minghuang waved his hand: "Not only that, we also have An Guerrilla and Qian Governor's Mansion." ”
Wei Yangyang was completely confused: "But, how do we know when the pirates will attack?" Wei Bingyue looked at her: "Think again." Wei Yangyang tilted his head: "Then what can you think, is there an internal response?" Shen Minghuang and Wei Bingyue smiled meaningfully at the same time. Wei Yang shouted: "Is there really an internal response? Shen Minghuang nodded to Wei Bingyue, and Wei Bingyue explained: "Think about it, why are they so close to us, and they come to disturb us every other day, but we can't find them for more than half a year?" ”
Wei Yangyang said casually: "Then naturally someone is covering them." Or someone who doesn't work when they suppress bandits. Shen Minghuang finally spoke: "In the realm of Gusu, who can shield them and spy on us, guess who it is?" Wei Yangyang began to think about it and said: "Most of the pirates are locals, so naturally they only know local officials, and they will never have a chance to buy us from other places." Locals," she counted on her fingers, "Yu Lao is a local, but he must not be." Yin Yushi has no military power, he is just a civil official, and he doesn't have this ability. Pei Guerrilla is a Gusu person, but his grade is too low, who will it be? ”
Shen Minghuang reminded her: "Suppose this matter is changed to Haixi, who do you think is the most capable in Haixi Mansion who can hide the traces of the thief from everyone?" Wei Yangyang said loudly: "Of course my father is handsome!" After she finished speaking, she felt incredible, opened her mouth wide, and looked at Shen Minghuang and Wei Bingyue suspiciously: "Is it Wang Zongbing?" She asked again: "Is it Mr. Wang?" How dare he? This is a capital offense. Of course, she is not afraid of death, but if she goes into battle to kill the enemy, she must die well, if she colludes with the thief, she will lose her official position and lose her head, and if it is spread out, she will be scolded to death.
She only understands military affairs and doesn't understand political affairs, so she can't figure it out after thinking about it, she asked: "This Wang Zongbing is already a general soldier, from Sanpin, why did he collude with pirates?" and can't let him be promoted and make a fortune. Shen Minghuang said: "You don't have to understand these things, you just need to know, when you see him in the future, don't show your feet, just say, we accidentally fell into the river and were rescued, it's fine." Wei Yang was full of stomach problems, but she knew that she asked in vain, and her thirteenth uncle and starling refused to tell her about many political affairs. So she had to nod: "Got it." ”
But she still has a lot of questions: "How can we find the inner coin of pirates?" After calling Yu Lao for so many days, won't the inner ghost find out? Shen Minghuang said, "How can we find the inner response? Money talks. The pirates risked extermination, and they also wanted to rob it, isn't it just for the money woman. I will give whatever they want, and naturally someone will be willing to provide us with information. They are a rabble, and they are not monolithic. As for Yu Lao, he comes and goes freely every day, sometimes he stays at home all day and doesn't go out all day, you see he has been missing for more than a month, has anyone asked about him?" Wei Yangyang thought about it, that Yu Jingxian often lived in seclusion for several months and pondered gunpowder at home, and he didn't let anyone bother him. disappeared for a month, and naturally no one found out that he was not in Gusu.
On Han Won Island, according to the information received, they pulled out a fortune teller they had caught earlier, and forced him to calculate that July 23 was an auspicious day for looting. Therefore, according to this date, the three wicked men decided to set out on July 21, abandon Gusu and Yongyin, and attack Qiantang Mansion. After all, the 3,000 Wei family troops are solidly stationed outside Gusu City, and the Wei family army without Wei Bingyue is still the Wei family army. And Yongyin, in addition to the complex terrain, there are 10,000 people newly trained by Wei Bingyue there. Qiantang is the best place to attack. It took two and a half days to get from Hanwon Island to Qiantang Mansion, so at the beginning of the evening of July 20, after killing several stolen people to sacrifice flags, Xiao Diao'er, Tuo Bujing, and Cheek Bo Snow Butterfly set off with their boats respectively.
On the evening of 22 July, after receiving the news from the spies that the pirates had been dispatched, the generals who remained in Qiantang were Wei Bingyue as the main general, An Luo was the deputy general, and the rest were all local generals in Qiantang. According to the list that had been drawn up a long time ago, Wei Bingyue issued orders to all the generals one by one, and each prepared to fight tomorrow.
As everyone left one by one, only the Wei brothers and sisters were left in the big tent. Because Wei Bingyue himself is a cavalryman, he wants to stay on the shore and wait to repel the pirates. Wei Yangyang asked suspiciously: "What about me?" Wei Bingyue didn't look at her, but continued to stare at the map: "You don't know how to fight, what's the fun?" ”
After listening to this, Wei Yangyang just wanted to hammer his beautiful brain! She argued, "What are you talking about? Why don't you let me go? I've come and gone. Even if I can't command naval battles, I can always be a soldier, right? I can't be at the helm, it's always okay to go rowing, right? Am I not as good as Yin Yushi? His hair is gray, and even a civil official dares to go, how can I retreat from the battle. Let Yin Yushi know, and don't laugh off his teeth yet. ”
Wei Bingyue raised his head and looked at her: "Can you do whatever you want?" Wei Yangyang was very unhappy: "Of course, I know that the gentleman is difficult to chase after him." You just have to send me a job, and I will never pester you again. Otherwise," Wei Bingyue snorted: "Otherwise, what can you do with me?" Wei Yangyang showed a sly smile on his face: "Otherwise, I'm like I'm at the door of Qingyinlou, I," Qingyinlou is the most high-class official brothel in Bibo City, Wei Bingyue was afraid that she would talk nonsense and be heard by others, so he hurriedly drank her: "Shut up!" ”
