Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"Our Ming officers and soldiers are really the gods of war in the tailwind situation, and they all come to grab credit when they see the cheap. It used to be like hiding from the plague, but now I'm not afraid. Wang Pu smelled the food with the smell of, and complained that although the river water could be boiled and sterilized, the smell inside could not be removed.

"It's good for the owner to bear with us, and when our ship arrives, we can go upstream to get water. Lin Changxing comforted.

"Hey, this trip to the south, I'm really a little worried that this steam ship will anchor on the sea, I don't want it to go well, they also brought back a foreign monk, wait for tomorrow, when I see Song Yang, I will give him an official position." Wang Pu said.

The official army is rolling, the Xianghe River is surrounded, it is rumored that the city is broken for three days, everyone is frightened, running to find a gap to avoid the military disaster, Di Si's wife Wei heard people on the side of the road, so she went home in a dilemma, she swore not to talk to Di Si, but thinking of the official army after breaking the city,

how she and her son survived, was distressed, under the nose was the pair of boots that Di Si brought home, the countrymen could not wear this luxury, Di Si only threw it at the head of the bed and didn't care, Wei thought that this boot was a good thing, in case the official army broke the city to loot from house to house, take it out or be able to deal with it, so he went to take it and rummaged it, reached into the boots, touched many pimples, and thought: The material is really good, the inside and outside are cold silk cloth, but the workmanship is not good, there are a lot of hard bumps inside, and it is inevitable to panic when you wear it.

Wei took the sewing box, sat down and turned the mouth of the boot outward, and looked at the stitches in the boots, and couldn't help but wonder very much, these knots are clearly not needle knots, how can there be such a strange workmanship, but it seems to deliberately destroy the heavens.

She took the thread apart, picked out a golden thing, poured it out and looked at it, and was startled, this, this is actually a golden melon seed. Pick a few more times, and there are a total of six golden melon seeds. Wei fell into deep thought, these boots must have come from a rich family, and then fell into a panic, her man forcibly took the nobleman's property, and when the official army invaded the city in the future, he was afraid that he would find him guilty. Wei's is not uncommon with Di Si's life and death, but she is worried that her son will be implicated, she thinks that it would be good to return the golden melon seeds, and she is very reluctant.

That night, Di Si went home, and Wei went up to ask about the origin of the boots. Di Si was very flattered, and 1510 said the truth, and Wei sat alone under the lamp at night to figure it out. It turned out that it was not forcible to take, so there was no need to return it, these few golden melon seeds made the future Ansheng have a settlement. She thought again that if she could reward people with a few golden melon seeds, this must be a noble family. Maybe he asked Di Si for help, but he didn't dare to take the trust casually, so he tried it with golden melon seeds. Although Wei is a woman, her home is near the canal business, and she has been exposed to it for many years, and she has also understood a lot of truths. The nobles and the thieves can only take refuge on one side, the current official army is strong, the nobleman is about to turn the tables, and the thief army has become a dying person, she decided to throw herself into the official army outside the city.

The next day, Wei's carried boots,

came to Xinping Street Hongyufang Qiu House, lightly buckled the door knocker, after a while, an old woman opened the door, recognized the boots at a glance, looked carefully at Wei, nodded meaningfully, and introduced her into the house, Wei's period Ai Ai entered the courtyard from the corridor, and crossed a few doors, to a dark mill house, the old woman said: "You sit for a while, I will go back." "

"Yes, you're good to go. "

After sitting for a

long time, the old woman went and returned, with an extra box in her hand, and opened it to her with a smile, but inside was a mediocre red beaded flower, eye-catching red and bright dotted emerald, which made Wei's dizzy, she was puzzled and asked, "What do you want me to do." "

"It's good that you know, it's just right, it's really good, there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside, right, you want to find a way to go out of the city and give this bead flower in the box to Wang Pu of the Shenjia Battalion. The old woman smiled and said: "In addition, tell him, don't burn Wenyu Lane, and don't burn White Horse Street, it is good for you to keep these houses, and you will plead with the saint in the future." "

"Yes. Wei was puzzled, but she knew that the more she asked about these things, the more inappropriate it became.

The military advisor Lao Cai got the gold with Hong Xiaohan's treasure map, and made a great contribution to Bai Xiaoru's appreciation, and he was overjoyed, he didn't break his promise, he came to Hong Xiaohan, and wanted to repay him with a reward, but he was startled by the dry bones in front of him, and Hong Xiaohan became a dying man in just a few days, so he had to sigh and say, "I'll find you a good coffin." "

"The old thief, is he dead? "

"I don't know, I found the gold and came back. "

"You, you promised me,

you avenged me, I will avenge me. Hong Xiaohan opened his bloody mouth, his black tongue was raised high, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, Lao Cai and the soldiers behind him were secretly frightened, and their tongues began to ooze black blood, this person will die in five days.

"It's not the military advisor's fault, I went to find him back, the big war on our side is imminent, and I don't have time to avenge you. "This soldier is an insider, and he is busy stepping forward to break the siege.

"Then I can't die, Lao Cai, you have to save me. Hong Xiaohan heard that the enemy was not dead, he was unwilling, and the idea of survival was blazing.

"I have a way to save your life, but that's the end of your relationship. "

"I know, as long as you save me, you don't owe me. "Hong Xiaohan didn't dare to expect to be the little leader of the thief army at this time, so he would survive first.

"You are sick, Wang Pu of the Shenjia Battalion can cure it, and I will send you out. "

"Wang Pu?Guanjun?" Hong Xiaohan was very surprised, this thief army and military division was actually an official and military officer.

Lao Cai arranged for the soldiers behind him to send Hong Xiaohan out of the city, but this soldier was not optimistic about the thief army, so he threw Hong Xiaohan to the ground not far from the city, sneered, smashed a stone at him, and scolded in his mouth: Dead plague, I'm afraid that your blood will be splashed, otherwise I would have chopped you up. After exhaling, he walked away.

Hong

Xiaohan's dying man, the wound on his heel flowed out of the fishy pus, lying on his back on the ground and unable to move, after a while, a woman came from the city, Hong Xiaohan saw her, and pleaded: "Save me, send me to the Shenjia Battalion, I am a spy of the Shenjia Battalion." "

Coincidentally, this woman is

Wei's, if it is an ordinary woman, it will never be too troubled to save him, an ominous person riddled with pestilence, but Wei is worried about how to meet Wang Pu, the commander of the Shenjia Battalion, in person, heard that this little guy is a spy of the Shenjia Battalion, seeing that his wound is terrible, but it is not ordinary, so he believed seven or eight points, rolled a rope into a skirt cloth and put it under his ribs, and walked all the way, but fortunately, the camp of the Shenjia Battalion was very close to the city gate, and was stopped by the soldiers in the afternoon.

Nowadays, the

sparse official and military barracks can be seen outside the Xianghe City along the river, but no officer and army dares to camp in the downstream of the river flowing through Xianghe City, the plague in the city is too scary, and the army is most afraid of these, so the officers and soldiers who came earlier are only stationed in the upper reaches, and they are far away from the city, and these officers and soldiers are also very different from each other, and they do not belong to each other. There are guards in Shandong, as well as Qinwang soldiers in Henan, Anhui, and even Hubei, because Qiu Jinsheng did it under the nose of the Shenjia Battalion before, although the matter is hidden, the Zhaoyong Battalion is just a temporary county government miscellaneous division with Caoyun mercenaries, even if the court is suspicious, it will not tear its face desperately. But things in the world have always been easy to deceive and difficult to conceal, and the people and thieves who are mixed in the officialdom soon heard various versions, no matter which version, Wang Pu and Liu Zeqing must be embarrassed and plotted against friendly troops, therefore, when everyone is in danger, all Qinwang soldiers and horses are camped separately, and they can rest assured when they are far away from each other. This made tens of thousands of officers and soldiers by the river pave out a long snake formation, which was fifteen miles before and after, which was quite interesting to Liu Bei's company.

The Shenjia battalion came late, and it is obviously not advisable to camp upstream, more than ten miles away from the city, go out to attack the city in the morning, and return to the camp at night to repair, and play a round trip should go thirty miles, who has nothing to walk and play. So Wang Pu had no choice but to camp under the city, and his soldiers had all been vaccinated against smallpox, as well as penicillin special drugs for backup, not afraid of the plague.

It's just that Wu Sangui also came, and he also set up a camp next to Wang Pu, and frequently showed goodwill to Wang Pu, and he was very close.

Wang Pu, who was nauseating by the river, and who had a bad complexion, really couldn't bear it, gnawed on the jerky, couldn't swallow it dry, and couldn't get used to drinking the river water, sighed, pushed the food away, Lin Changxing saw it, and said with a smile: "Boss, why are you so troubled, just send someone upstream to get water." "

"No, I should share weal and sorrow with all the soldiers, wear the same clothes, eat the same food, and sleep together. Wang Pu said with a righteous face.

"The students admired, did the owner find that Wu Sangui and they all eat such bad water like us. Lin Changxing is quite rare, in the Ming Dynasty, it is rare for officials to share weal and woe with their subordinates, and I didn't expect that there would be two in this Xianghe realm.

"Oh, didn't they send people upstream to fetch water? Wang Pu was a little surprised, he was willing to eat the same stinky water as the soldiers, because these soldiers in the Shenjia Battalion were all private soldiers, and they had to consolidate personal friendships. However, Wu Sangui is still full of sincerity and posture, which shows that this generation is an ambitious person.

"Yes, we sent someone to watch it, and it was all right. Lin Changxing replied.

"Wu Sangui, this little old man is clever, so beware of him stabbing us in the back. Wang Pusenran sneered, this Wu Sangui lived until the Kangxi year in history, if the end of the Ming Dynasty is a knockout match, then the surname Wu is the champion of the finals, and his strength should not be underestimated, and he must be strictly guarded.

"Yes, don't worry, we're all awake. Lin Changxing said proudly, in this situation, everyone can see the way, and the Ming Dynasty only has two strong armies, the Guan Ning Army in the northeast corner and the newly raised Datong Army. The military expenses of the imperial court are given to the Guan Ning army in millions every year, and the Datong army has not even received the hair, so it is naturally very dissatisfied, and in the dream it is hoped that the Guan Ning army will plant a big heel.

At this time, the soldiers reported that Wu Sangui asked to see him, Wang Puqiang met Wu Sangui in spirit, and as soon as this guy came in, he smiled and said: "Brother, you have already had a trick, if there is a good thing to promote and make a fortune, let me also be grateful." "

"How to say. Wang Pu was very puzzled and asked.

"My men met two people under the city, and they said they were spies you arranged. Wu Sangui said and took out a bead flower, and said: "The people are outside, as if one of them has a plague, and I dare not bring it in." These beads are not mortal, I don't think they are fake, what do you say, when will I start earning the city? "

When Wang Pu heard this, he was even more puzzled, took the bead flower, and asked, "This bead flower looks ordinary, what is the matter?" "

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't be presumptuous, brother, I'm timid." "

Wang Pu listened to him so frightened, he couldn't help but wake up, he is a traverser, he knows very little about many rules of the Ming Dynasty, and often caused trouble because of this in the past, but after a long time, he gradually understood that the rules of the Ming Dynasty are big, and if he is not careful, he will violate the royal law, and he thought in his heart: Zhuhua, Zhu? Is it a royal thing. Thinking about it so and looking closely, I really saw the doorway, the process materials of this bead flower are extraordinary, especially the emerald green leaves are not like ordinary fabrics, the fingertips are gently brushed, the warm lubrication of the hand, the nails are embedded in the leaves, and he sighed lightly.

"It is said that this point of emerald is the use of a special bird feathers produced in Yunnan, from Yunnan thousands of miles to the Beijing Division, there is a living to make a thing, this kind of bird is not easy to live, a small fright will be out of breath, a hundred at most one or twenty survived, this kind of bead flower is generally only given to the clan, the near branch is more, the far branch is not shared, such a royal treasure I just heard in the past, today to see a look is also a blessing. Wu Sangui said with emotion on the side.

"Let them in, I'll ask you clearly. Wang Pu said immediately.

Seeing Wei's, Wang Pu asked a few words, and when he heard her say that she was from Kaifeng Qi County, his heart moved, and he asked, "Do you have a person named Li Xin there?" "

"Ah, that's our owner's son, he, is he a friend of the general? Wei was pleasantly surprised, in her mind, Li Xin Gongzi was the son of an official eunuch, and he was the same age as the general in front of him, so it was reasonable for him to be old to each other.

"It turned out to be Li Xin's family. Wang Pu's eyes lit up, it was really a godsend, what he wanted, could he really be destined for it. Li Xin is Li Yan, in the original history, he would be a thief couple with Xing Hongniang, and assist Li Zicheng in his death. This person has done a lot of good deeds in the local area, so it is not difficult to find, but I don't know how to introduce him to Xing Hongniang, who is thousands of miles away. The difficulty in this matter is not to leave traces of axes and chisels, it should be logical, and it will come naturally.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I, the slave is just a tenant of their family, not a family member. However, Li Gongzi is really a good person. Wei hurriedly waved his hand.

"He's a good guy. Wang Pu nodded approvingly, he can continue to give money and food to help the victims in the disaster year, and now this world is really rare, if he doesn't plan to use him as bait to earn Xing Hongniang, Wang Pu really wants to make friends with this Ming philanthropist. It's just that I don't know how such a good person can fall into the grass, and I'm afraid that there will be stories in the future.

asked to understand Wei's intention, he couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that the clan in the city did not die, spared money and did not spare his life, and sent her to warn the official army not to damage his family business when attacking the city. Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh and said, "It is worthy of being the descendant of the old Zhu family." "

Wu Sangui also smiled when he heard this, but he only pretended to be confused, and said to him: "The clan loves the people like a son, and the Ming Ying is the master of the sky, so be prosperous." "

"You're okay, please come back. Wang Pu glared at this sycophant with disdain, and said in his heart: In the future, you, the eighth prince, will personally slaughter a son of the Zhu family and pretend to be your sister.

"Yes, yes, brother, let's go, brother, but you have a good thing, count me in, don't forget. Wu Sangui was too busy to slip away, he knew that Wang Pu was a chaotic minister and thief, and he didn't dare to have a deep friendship with him.
