Chapter 58 Traveling South
Seeing that Miss Biao was also here, Shui Sheng was overjoyed, and said: "It's been a long time since I haven't seen Miss Biao to speak idioms, chasing Jiwei, hehe." What kind of official is this Zhaowu Lieutenant, is it the young master or you?" he rubbed his ears as he spoke.
Mei Ruoxue glanced at him and said, "Are you a pig's brain, my cousin is the boss, so naturally he is older than me." ”
Lin Fengsheng saw that the two of them couldn't stop chattering, and said with a smile: "It's not too late to say these homely gossips. Aquatic, did you bring something?"
Aquatic Zhengse said: "Brought it." Hehe, young master, you really opened your mouth this time, and you actually asked for such a large amount, but the lord and lady spoiled you after all. As he spoke, he took off the burden from his shoulders and handed it over.
Lin Fengsheng stretched out his hand to take it, and said angrily: "You kid is getting more and more presumptuous, no big or small, I didn't ask you, what are you feeling sorry for." Let's go back to our room. ”
Everyone walked out of the inner hall to the wing room in the backyard.
Shui Sheng looked at the women, and smacked his tongue: "Good girl, it's amazing, so many good-looking girls are by your side, young master, you are really blessed, are they all your wives?"
All the women couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard this, and they all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Lin Fengsheng scolded with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, these are all female generals under my command." All of them are heroines. If you don't know how to talk nonsense, be careful that they teach you, and I won't protect you then. ”
Shui Sheng couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he knew that he was presumptuous, stuck out his tongue, grinned, and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
When everyone returned to the room, Lin Fengsheng opened the baggage, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim. It turned out that there was a large stack of thick silver tickets in the baggage, and the amount of one point was as much as 50,000 taels.
Mei Ruoxue smiled: "What am I saying, it turns out that my cousin is asking my uncle for money." So much, what are you doing with it?"
Lin Fengsheng said: "Now that the food and salary are lost, these silver taels are just used for emergency." ”
Except for Mei Ruoxue, although the women knew that he was a rich child, they didn't know how rich their family was, and when they saw that he could ask for so many silver taels from home at once, they couldn't help but secretly smack their tongues.
Chen Fengyi smiled: "It turns out that this is your clever plan." It's just that Wei Chu has been plagued for a long time, and I'm afraid that there won't be so much cash in the silver account for you to exchange. ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "This is easy to do, just send someone to another place to redeem." You can also buy grain and grass by the way. I'm afraid that all parts of Weichu have been looted by Zhang Jieba, and they can't buy anything if they have money. ”
At that moment, he instructed Miaole to call a hundred reliable brothers, take silver tickets, and go to the city to exchange for cash, and by the way, purchase grain and grass for the needs of the righteous army in the near future.
After temporarily relieving the urgent need, everyone was very happy in their hearts, but they were also more curious about Lin Fengsheng's family background. When everyone asked, Lin Fengsheng just smiled and didn't answer.
went to ask Mei Ruoxue again, and Mei Ruoxue couldn't stand everyone's questioning and said it. It turned out that Lin Fengsheng's family was neither a businessman nor an official, but his family background was extremely solid, and it was said that they were all inherited from his ancestors. Although he was a little suspicious of sitting on the mountain, he could ask for 50,000 taels of silver with a letter, which was more than enough.
That night, Shui Sheng and Lin Fengsheng talked at night, and said goodbye and returned to Qingdian at dawn on the second day, and Lin Fengsheng wrote a letter to him to take back. The aquatic family has been a servant in Lin Fengsheng's family for generations, and because the two are almost the same age, they have been playmates and companion children since childhood, so the two have a deep friendship with each other.
Lin Fengsheng first instructed Lin Baohua to step up the investigation of the food and the whereabouts of the suspect, and then led everyone to the rebel camp outside the city, and announced the order to promote Guo Xian'er and Chen Fengyi. Gao Zhicheng and the rest of the pro-army were quite unimpressed, and sighed for a while.
Lin Fengsheng said loudly: "The art of war is cloudy: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles', and before fighting, you must judge the situation and determine its foundation in order to defeat the enemy." Now we don't know anything about the thieves, and it's not the way to use soldiers. ”
The group of heroes nodded yes one after another, and the capital should send someone to the area of Ailao Mountain, Zhang Stammer's lair, to spy on the military situation.
Lin Fengsheng said again: "When the righteous army was first established, it could not be compared with the imperial court, the system was not complete, and there was no white army. And the thief's cottage is very secretive, which is tantamount to the tiger's den in Longtan, so I decided to go and explore it myself. During this period, the affairs were handled by Captain Zhaowu Guo Xian'er, Miao Jiama Gang Brother Miao, and General Gao, and all officers and men must strictly follow it, if they dare to disobey military law!"
Qunhao's expression was awe-inspiring, and he agreed suddenly. The pro-army is scattered again, yin and yang are weird, and someone shouted: "General Yunlu, your righteous army did not step on the white army, but we did." If it really doesn't work, we're willing to do it for you. "Yes, yes, if there is really no one among you who is up to it, leave it to us, and we will find out all about the enemy. A smug laugh followed.
Qunhao knew that it was false for these people to ask for their lives, and they took the opportunity to ridicule it if it was true, and everyone was angry and angry. Lin Fengsheng smiled and said: "Your kindness is understood, but it is far from dangerous to go to the high mountains and roads, how can you let you take this risk." As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, or go down to do it yourself. These words have another sound, but the meaning is very vague, and I only hope that the pro-army people will understand.
At that moment, he ordered Qunhao to stand still and recuperate. Among the women, Mei Ruoxue has the best light body kung fu, and she has considerable attainments in martial arts and swordsmanship, if she shows her appearance, she doesn't have to be distracted too much, and it will be much easier to get out, so she took her with her.
The ice toad can not only cure all kinds of poisons, but also the toad sand is extremely powerful, which can not only defend himself but also resist the enemy, under Yun'er's repeated requests, Lin Fengsheng also carried the ice toad with him.
Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue set off from Olu City at the same time, galloping all the way, except for a wine shop on the side of the road. At dusk, we came to the bank of a river, which was called the Lishe River, and the twilight haze shrouded the veins of the river, blocking the road from it.
The two searched along the river for a long time and did not see a ferry or boat, so they had to light a fire and wait on the side of the road.
As night fell, I could only hear a crisp camel bell in the distance, which sounded very familiar, and it was the bell of the caravan. Lin Fengsheng had traveled with the Miaojia Horse Gang, so he was quite familiar with this kind of ringtone.
Lin Fengsheng said: "Cousin, there is a horse gang here, they often walk around on this road, they should know where the Ludao ferry is." ”
Mei Ruoxue was happy to hear this: "Yes, so we can cross the river tonight." ”
Lin Fengsheng nodded, got up and looked at the intersection where he came.
After a while, a large number of mules and horses came in streams, and the bell rang from the head horse that was walking in the front. Each horse was carrying heavy loads on its back, and the passers-by were tired and tired after a day's journey, so they moved very slowly.
Lin Fengsheng greeted him and arched his hand: "May I ask who is Ma Guotou?"
The old man in his fifties stepped forward and arched his hand: "I don't know where this son is going?" It seems that it is the head of this horse gang.
Lin Fengsheng said: "I was going to the area of Ailao Mountain, but I couldn't find a boat to cross the river. ”
The old man said: "We have to transport a batch of goods through Ailao Mountain, who doesn't have a difficulty when going out, the son doesn't dislike it, so let's go with me." ”
The horse gang walks outside all the year round, and pays attention to harmony and wealth, so the horse pot head is generally very easy-going. Lin Fengsheng was overjoyed and talked to Nama Guotou.
When they arrived at the riverside, the caravan also stopped, and everyone unloaded the goods and sat on the ground, as if they were not going to cross the river tonight.
Lin Fengsheng talked with Ma Guotou and learned that this horse gang is called Lu Yao Ma Gang, which takes the meaning of Lu Yao knowing horsepower, of course, it also has the meaning of a long way to go, aiming to alert the gang, Ma Guotou is called Zhong Nanshan.
Zhong Nanshan instructed everyone to build a few fires on the roadside, and several horsemen took out the pots and pans they carried with them to boil water for cooking, and some led mules and horses to the river to drink water and feed forage. Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue sat down by the fire and stretched out their hands to bake the fire, and Zhong Nanshan sat down after being busy for a while.
Lin Fengsheng asked, "Senior Zhong, isn't it Jiang tonight?"
Zhong Nanshan said: "But it's over, I'll see it tomorrow morning." Gongzi didn't know that there was a Jiming Mountain ten miles away from the river, and there were many bandits on the mountain, so it was relatively stable to pass during the day. ”
Lin Fengsheng nodded and stopped talking, but thought in his heart: "These ** lakes are really old-fashioned, with the river and water separated, thieves can't sneak attack at night." ”
After a while, the horse gang cooked a meal and warmly invited the two to eat together, and the two had only eaten some dry food at random, and their stomachs were only half full and half hungry, so they did not refuse. The caravan eats all brown rice, almost no meat dishes, and the food is quite inferior to that of a big gang like the Miaojia caravan.
