Bai Lang came to the pier and caught a glimpse of a woman in light pink standing under a large camphor tree near the water not far away. He stopped, turned back to his subordinates:

"You go and get ready to sail, and I'll take a look at the scenery along the pier." After speaking, he walked a few steps forward, and suddenly turned back and asked the finless porpoise general who saw him off, "Who is under the tree?"

"Oh, like...... It's Miss Two." probably knew that this would be the son-in-law of the Jiang family in the future, and the general replied in a rather polite tone. He looked in that direction again and said, "Yes, it must be Second Miss!"

"Oh? The second sister is here today, too?" The finless porpoise has always hidden the daughters as if they were not showing their treasures, but this time the two girls were brought, which was beyond Bai Lang's expectations. "This old thing!" He slandered himself.

"Yes, it's usually rare for the two young ladies to come out to relax, but today is really rare!" The general replied with a smile. Look at the book

"Not really. However, I guess she also saw me, and since I have already married my third sister, it seems unreasonable not to make a salute?"

The general hesitated: "It's okay, Bai Dangjia will please go over and say hello, don't blame many people."

"yes, yes, I thought so, too. The troublesome man and my man told me to get ready to sail, and I'll be right away."

"Okay, okay, please take care of it."

Seeing that the general was walking in the direction of the boat, Bai Lang strode forward, took a few steps uphill and left some distance, and arched his hand: "Bai Lang has seen the second sister, and the younger sister is fine!"

Jiang Yun'er heard the sound of footsteps, and when Yu Guang saw him coming, he had already raised his arm to cover his face with his wide sleeves, and when he heard this, a petite little maid came out from behind her to answer for her, "Girl, please be safe and healthy. The girl said, "I am glad to hear that the general and the three girls of my family are married!"

"Sister Xie, I also heard from my father-in-law that the second sister is married to Junshan Lake Chen Tong, and this time I specially prepared a congratulatory ceremony to congratulate my sister on finding a good son-in-law."

After speaking, there was no answer on the other side, and soon there was a sound of Suosuo, and the little maid was gone. Chen Yun'er slowly lowered her arm and sighed: "The son-in-law is decided, good or bad, maybe the general knows better than me?"

Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.

He had seen Chen Tong and already knew his reputation.

This is a lawless little bully, a master of playing with women, it is said that from village girls to nuns, from teenage girls to women in their thirties.

As long as he feels good, he will get into the village, and even made a ridiculous thing about being a *** woman in the daytime, which is notorious in the entire Poyang Lake.

Many of the stockades openly forbade him to enter his own waters by boat, and he didn't care about going his own way, so the area around the village was sparsely populated and business travel was not possible.

His father, Chen Yuanhai, had only two sons, and the eldest son, Chen Shu, was a concubine and was neglected because of this, and now he is wandering around in the name of seeing and learning while traveling, and he does not know where he has gone.

This Chen Yuanhai treated Chen Tong as a baby, and said: The baby is just this hobby, anyway, if it doesn't hurt people's lives, let him go.

His requirement is that he can't kill anyone or hurt anyone, as long as he doesn't touch this, he doesn't care how many women this kid gets!

As the saying goes: The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, in fact, Chen Yuanhai himself has seven or eight concubines, so Chen Tong has been taken bad since he was a child, and his father has most of the credit!

Shinao Village also likes to rob women everywhere, and has a very bad reputation around the Great Lake, and other villages are not ashamed.

These things are not unaware of the finless porpoise. Bai Lang guessed that the reason why he married the Chen family probably meant that he still wanted to win over.

Although the location of Shinaozhai is in the southernmost part of the whole lake area, because it is located at the junction of Nanchang, Raozhou and Fuzhou, its strength has been expanding in recent years, and it has become a big household in Huxi.

The finless porpoise wooed the Chen family, in fact, from the perspective of the alliance leader, and wanted to exert influence on the many miscellaneous forces in Huxi through the Chen family.

However, in doing so, he had to sacrifice his daughter, and he was the most outstanding of the three girls.

So at this moment, Miss Yun'er sighed, Bai Lang didn't know how to pick up this conversation. Console? Agree? None of them are good.

I had to reluctantly half-jokingly say, "My father-in-law's vision should be right, don't you think he's good in the picture?" After finishing speaking, I suddenly felt that something was not right, but it was like water spilled out, where could I get it back?

I only heard Yun'er sneer: "His vision, if it was good, he wouldn't choose that Chen Tong, and he would have chosen the general ...... early." The words came to an abrupt end before they were finished.

Bai Lang was stunned to see the blush staining Yun'er's cheeks, and even his neck turned red.

Jiang Yun'er lowered her head, bit her lip gently, and suddenly realized that Bai Lang was looking at her beside her, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover it with her wide sleeves. The light came through, and Bai Lang could only vaguely see her outline.

Jiang Yun'er is on the tall side, about five feet (162c). Unlike her younger sister, who was not yet fully grown, she had a delicate duck egg face, a small nose, and curved eyebrows that made her seem as if she was expecting something at any moment.

Judging from Yun'er's exposed hand on the outside of his sleeve, it was small, with slender fingers, white and delicate.

Bai Lang suddenly felt a little short of breath, he looked away from the cloud-like black hair, lowered his head and saw the red satin embroidered waterfowl pinching flower shoes exposed under the cuckoo's pleated skirt, which made him feel more and more thirsty and uneasy.

When he was about to leave, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he quickly turned back and said, "My sister is blessed, so there is no need to complain. Uh......"

His mind was blank, and he finally held back the sentence: "Bai Lang will not go out on the expedition, maybe the second sister will be able to go to Shinao Village to ask for a cup of wine on the day of her marriage." My sister will wait for my brother to come and drink your toast, and it will not be too late to ...... the cave room."

Bai Lang has never felt that he is speaking so upside down, what kind of blessing words are these? Stupid! He couldn't make it up anymore, so he muttered something somehow, then gave up his hand and turned around and ran.

Jiang Yun'er listened to what he said about liking wine and the cave room, and she was embarrassed. Listening to the footsteps in the distance, he quietly looked through the light and saw that the person was gone, and then he gasped for breath, put down his slightly trembling arm while pressing his heaving chest with the other hand.

"Miss, General Bai is gone." The little maid came over to support her, and asked in surprise, "You don't have a good face, but what did he say recklessly?"

"No, no, it's his clumsy ......." Jiang Yun'er stomped her feet, but it was not good to talk to this girl more. He only turned his face to look at the boat that had left the dock, and looked at the stupid guy standing at the bow of the boat and waving his hand.

"Hey, what does he mean by this, is he going to the Shinao Village to have a banquet? Otherwise, why do you say that you should drink joyful wine? He wants me to toast him before entering the cave? How can there be such a rule?

Alas, stupid people, stupid people, I heard in vain that this Bai Lang is a hero, and even his father can't beat him, it turns out that he is just a rough man!"

Jiang Yun'er thought wildly, and unconsciously walked up the shore slope, and when she looked back, there was only a black spot left in Ye Bianzhou, which seemed smaller and smaller on the endless lake.

The autumn breeze rose, and Feng Shen finally arrived at Yugan. Li Dan didn't have time to let him rest, so he sent people to invite Han An, Gu Da, Yang Yi, Zhao Jingzi, Master Ba, Zhou Qin, Tan Zhongxuan and Yang Dayi to discuss the matter.

The east courtyard of the Chenghuang Temple has been officially requisitioned by the county, and a wooden sign has been hung at the door, which reads vertically: Raozhou Regiment Lian Yugan County Headquarters.

The words are upright and powerful, written by Han An, who has now been hired as the secretary of the Yugan Tuan Training Institute, and works in this courtyard. Hearing the call, he came to the conference hall, and saw Zhong Siqi hurriedly running out.

"Hey, why are you going to go out after the military meeting?" Han An asked. Zhong Siqi is now the captain of the pacification team for Song Xiaoniu, and it is said that he should attend the meeting around Li Dan.

"My lord sent me to the county office, and Master Zhou took a detailed work and told me to listen to the interrogation!"

Zhong Siqi's face was full of excitement, he can now sit in the hall and watch the county interrogate prisoners, thinking that he was just a soldier a few months ago!

"Caught the fine work again? Hey!" Han An was surprised, this is already the fourth! He obviously had the feeling that the mountain rain was coming, and he couldn't help but speed up the pace of his feet.

"Master Han, this is our intelligence chief Feng Shen." Li Dan introduced him.

Han An had heard of Feng Shen's name, but when he left Geyang with the team and arrived at Xiaozhai, Feng Shen had already set off for Anren to reconnoitre, so it was the first time for them to face each other today.

Feng Shenbut

Knowing that Li Dan was a disciple of Han An, he hurriedly took a half step back and said deeply, "Feng has seen Mr. Han!"

"Okay, okay, it's best if you come back safely, we're all worried these days!"

"I'm sorry to worry about you. After going to Anren, I went to Dongxiang and made a detour to Mae Harbor to find a boat to cross the river and come back, so it took longer than agreed." Feng Shen replied.

"You've been to Togo? What's going on there?" Han An hurriedly asked.

Before Feng Shen could answer, the participants entered the door one after another, and had to confess to Han An first. The hall immediately became lively, everyone came to greet him, and Feng Shen didn't bother to answer Han An's question for a while.

It wasn't until Liao Sanqing, the new member of the Chinese Army's pro-soldier team, announced the start of the meeting that everyone sat down, and the hall quickly fell silent.

This cross-courtyard was originally borrowed by pilgrims and candidates who came to the county Confucian school to take the children's examination, but it was originally in disrepair and dilapidated, and even a few gables were broken or the girders were decayed.

Because the firewood room next to the stove at the back is only separated by a wall from the small school field, and there is a door facing the street, Li Dan rented it from Miaozhu at a price of five taels of silver per year. It is used as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Inspection Division and the remaining cadres and regimental training.

The courtyard is actually two groups of buildings, the main entrance is three entrances, but there are only six west-facing rooms, which are used for financial planning, confidentiality, intelligence, logistics, secretaryship, and security.

The third entrance is slightly wider, and further inside is the kitchen stove and firewood room. Li Dan asked someone to demolish and renovate the firewood room, opened the door on the back wall, and changed the firewood room into a dormitory where the guards (pro-soldiers) lived, and put a sentry at the door.

There is a moon gate on the west wall of the second entrance, and it is a suite of courtyards when you enter, which used to be reserved for distinguished guests, and there are some flowers and plants in the first half, and there are two wing rooms and two large houses facing south.

The wing rooms here are given to the staff officers and reconnaissance sections, and the smaller one in the south room is the dormitory for everyone, and the larger one is used as a conference hall. This is where the meeting takes place.

Li Dan first congratulated Feng Shen on his safe return, and then everyone applauded and asked him to tell him what he had seen after going north from Guixi and Yingtan. Feng Shen drank a large bowl of leaf tea in the expectant gaze of everyone, and then began to speak.

It turned out that he did not rush into Anren recklessly this time, but first went to live in Wuchongguan, not far from Yingtan Town, to find out if the road to the north was smooth.

The audience said that it was not possible to travel by land, and if they first went south to Zhoujiadu, and then took a boat to the north, it might be a little more possible.

This news made him know that the waterway was open, so he went down the mountain to find a place where no one was by the river, and floated down with a bamboo until he crossed the white tower on the mountain, and then went ashore at the corner of the north city wall.

"There are not many defenders on the lookout of the city, and most of them are civilians who have been forced to participate in the city patrol." Feng Shen said.

He even got acquainted with a man surnamed Yang, who lived on Yaqian Street and was a boy who wrote pleadings and contracts for others. Yang Xian'er told him two things: the Jiangshan Army only left five hundred defenders in the city, and Zhou County's order did not die.

"Only 500?"

"Zhou Xianling is not dead, but what about others?"

"On the day the city was broken, he was hidden by a gambling house owner named Zhou Xin." Feng Shen said: "Later, three or four more were transferred for safety, but I am afraid that I have to ask Zhou Xin where they are hiding."

"You didn't go to him? Didn't the traitors look for them?" Zhao Jingzi asked.

"I don't have time to track him down, and I'm afraid I won't expose him because of this. Thinking that since I knew his whereabouts, it would be fine. Although Zhou Xin opened a gambling house, he had quite a lot of appeal in the local area.

According to Brother Yang, An Ren was the main bookkeeper Gong Xiao who opened the city and surrendered, but only three days later, Gong Xiao was hanged on the big willow tree in the north gate. Some people say that Zhou Xin sent someone to do it, and the traitors investigated for a long time and there was no evidence, so the matter was over."

Feng Shen turned to Li Dan when he said this: "By the way, General Qiu Shen was originally going to cross the river through Shigang, and it was this Gong Xiao who was afraid of stepping on his land, so he came up with the idea of building a pontoon bridge.

As a result, the enemy was cut off, not to mention the next 10,000 brothers, and the rebels directly occupied the pontoon bridge and crossed the river to attack Anren, and then the county seat was lost."

"So this person is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he has sacrificed the city to the enemy, and he is really innocent!" Yang Dayi said indignantly, "Just hanging

He's so cheap!"

"Speaking of the pontoon, there are two things to tell you." Feng Shen patted his head and remembered: "The pontoon bridge outside the southwest gate is still there, but the one on the mending river was demolished by the rebels, and it is said that the boat was sent to Yujiang to transport grain."

The situation immediately attracted the attention of those present. "So it seems that Yang Xing knocked Yu Jiang down?" Han An immediately said, "It seems that the number of Jiangshan troops has developed too quickly, or Yang He is still preparing to attack Fuzhou, so he is short of food!"

"Mr. is right, Yang He really has no intention of giving up on Fuzhou, he is mobilizing men and horses and tightening the siege." Feng Shen replied.

"At least his fleet is still busy, and he won't be able to restore the pontoon bridge for a while. This should be beneficial for us to regain Anren."

Zhao Jingzi touched the short beard on his chin thoughtfully: "In addition, Yang He's words can't be ignored, and it will be difficult for Yang Xing to transfer troops into Yugan for the time being."

"I agree, they will still make the occupation of Fuzhou their first priority." Yang Dayi crossed his shoulders and looked over: "We have to seize this gap and find a way to weaken the lake bandits as much as possible."

"But Katehanako has been delaying the dispatch of troops, what can I do?" Gu Da spread out his hands.

"I wish he hadn't come yet," Tan Zhongxuan snorted, "My right post has suddenly become five hundred men, and I need training and time. It's best if he doesn't come!"

"Hey, Lao Tan, what did you like the day you forgot to take the recruits?" Master Ba jokingly squeezed his eyes.

"Bullnose, that's two different things." Tan Zhongxuan shouted, "Do you know what it is like for four hundred and fifty people who can't even tell the difference between left and right to get together? The mess can't fight at all!"

His words made everyone laugh, after all, a few months ago, even Tan Zhongxuan himself couldn't tell the difference.

"Don't say it's useless, let's talk about Yang He's old thief next!" Among the people, only Zhou Qin didn't smile, his brows were always wrinkled, urging Feng Shen to continue talking about the situation in Fuzhou.

Everyone stopped laughing, after all, the Jiangshan Army besieged Fuzhou, and the local soldiers and civilians were suffering. That's the hometown of Zhou Qin and the fifty brothers of Zuo Sentinel!

"Think about how many girls were married in that era and ended up depressed for the rest of their lives, alas!"
