Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"There are a lot of tricks in this poker game, and there is a kind of cleverness in hiding cards, and if you don't know, it's easy to be deceived. Lai Zichen thought for a while, and said: "Those officers and soldiers are a group, to be the bureau pit your master, that is a quasi, the casino is most afraid of this, he is a group, you one, just wave your hand like this, block your master's eyes, the dealer hides the cards in the palm of his hand, a hook of his fingers, the original card will enter the sleeve, and a hand out is the brand they want, this technique is not difficult to see through, I am afraid of falling alone." "

"Oops. Yes. Xi Niang stomped her feet angrily, and twisted the rock candy paper bag with both hands, but fortunately, she stopped in time so that the rock candy would not be scattered all over the ground.

"Hey, hate. "Thinking that there are many officers and soldiers, and they didn't expose the scam on the spot, there is a chance that the silver will not be recovered, this is the savings of the Xiucai family for several years, and then I thought, in case those dog officers and soldiers come to the game again, I can not be lost as a bet by the master, and this matter cannot be stopped, so he said: "Brother Chen, let's go to the master to complain, we can't just be caught by the liar." "

"This, this, it's not proper, I, I can't

enter your door, that Xiucai old man hit me on the head when he saw me, usually hit me on the street, and I occasionally can't hide from it. "Lai Zichen heard that he was going to explain the casino scam to face to face with Master Xiucai, and he couldn't help but make a mistake, Mrs. Chen and Xiucai both like to beat people, but the old man is old, and it won't be hindered by a few hits, only Xiucai is in the prime of life, and he shoots very hard, so it doesn't hurt.

"Hehe, you go to carry the rice bag, the master will not beat you when he sees that you are helping me carry the rice. Xi Niang listened to his desolation, and said with a smile.

Jizhou City Gu Mansion, Gu Jindan slender hand flicked the willow branches, a rare smile stretched, that night rushed to the sky, still often dreamed of convulsions, the past is unbearable, but I don't want to be born with good luck, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, this catastrophe in the end is just to erase the layer of glitz above, the grass and trees are born in spring, low ears to hear the clear spring, the foundation of the Gu family is still stable, she has the favor of a young general with her beauty, the power of the Gu family is not reduced, and the wealthy families in the city also raised funds to rebuild the Gu house for her, in order to show that she is reconciled.

"I heard from Xianggong that the Xianghe River was also defeated by the official army, although Zunhua in the north is still in the hands of the Dongyu, the city was given to the Guanning army to recover, and it has nothing to do with us, this battle has been fought, why is he still in the barracks and refuses to accompany me. On the rockery, Fang Ting sat idly, Gu Jindan took a sip of tea, and looked into the distance with his eyes, but there was a construction site on the other side of the pool, some craftsmen or jingling bells, or using pulleys to lift the mud tiles and wood, Miss Gu's temperament was so lively, often came to find some freshness.

The lord said that he should stay in the army and watch the proud soldiers under him, so as not to cause trouble to him. The pro-soldier Wang Yiqi replied respectfully, since Wang Pu was expelled from the house, and the family members under his hands abandoned the master one after another, Wang Pu promoted a group of veterans to the family, and numbered them with numbers, and this Wang Yiqi was one of them.

"Oh, it's wrong, seriously. Gu Jindan heard the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but turn his head in surprise, a white and tender soft wattle, the finger flower is boneless, and the jade plate is immortal.

"When the mark came out, an execution table was being erected in the camp, and it is estimated that the adults were preparing to punish the law severely, so pick some thorns and come out to stand up. Wang Yiqi has a long beard, but he is cautious, and his voice is strong, Wang Pu chose Gu Jindan's escort at the beginning, but it took the boss's hard work, the one with a fierce face is not good, and it is not possible to be too handsome, Wang Yiqi who is not good-looking in the rough pile of military men and women, and will not be disliked by the young lady.

"Is that preparing to kill? Gu Jindan asked sideways, she knew almost nothing about military affairs, and only the beheading of the storytelling came to mind.

"No, the adult has never used beheading, he likes to use whipping, saying that it is easy to cure by breaking a layer of skin, and the military stick is never used, we little soldiers have no other hope, ha, such a Shenjia battalion is like a home. Wang Yiqi's eyes were moist inexplicably, how could he not be glad that he could find a living home in this chaotic era of endless catastrophes and man-made disasters.

"Oh, I've heard that there are people outside who have a lot of complaints about the husband for defending a slave who has a bad relationship with the master's mother. That Wang Yan is very favored. Gu Jindan took a sip of tea with a light smile, and asked casually, there was a moment when he seemed to ask the Guanyin Bodhisattva who was suffering in the world.

"Well, that Wang Yan girl is not as good-looking as the little master. Wang Yiqi replied unmoved, but a thought rushed through his heart: here, here.

"Well, Miss Wang Yan. A trace of evil aura flashed on Gu Jindan's face, although it was fleeting, it rippled on the tea and left traces. In the Ming Dynasty, the word girl specifically refers to the daughter of the powerful family, which is the most honorific title, and the maid named Wang Yan can be so courteous to the soldiers of the Shenjia battalion. Gu Jindan, who was born in a wealthy family, was nurtured by etiquette since he was a child, and regarded this order of respect and humility as a matter of heaven and nature and could not be violated. There is a so-called starvation death is a small loss of moderation, and disrespect is a loss of moderation.

The pond water reflects the geese in the sky, the south wind is warm, Gu Jindan sighed, how long can her good life last, in ancient times, she served people with color, and she was debilitated and graceful. Thinking of this, he shed tears again, and muttered bitterly: "Big brother, come quickly, my little sister has suffered a lot." "Now Gu Jindan has only one person to rely on, and that is Gu Huanchen, the new patriarch of the Gu family.

Under the outer wall, at the end of the corridor, there was the sound of a knocker "banging". Wang Yiqi frowned and turned back, this gate leads to the back street, this year the city has changed its flag, and the city has been not peaceful for many days, and this gate has been locked. If the next person is not going to go through this door.

"Could it be my brother coming? Gu Jindan's face was vague, and he suddenly pressed the teacup, tiptoeing to find out. Wang Yiqi hurriedly grabbed a step, trotting all the way to leave Miss Gu who was holding her little feet far behind, this corridor was a little winding, and he was busy for a while, and he didn't have time to prune it, the leaves and branches in it were messy, he had to draw a knife and chop back and forth, trying to clear a way for Miss Gu behind.

"It's not good, there are villains in there, he pulled out a knife, be careful, retreat, retreat. "I don't want to have an exclamation from behind the door.

"What's the fuss, it should be the people of the Shenjia Battalion inside, what's so strange about having a knife, the people inside squeaked, is it Wang Pubu's people. But it was an old man's scolding, as if it was majestic

"Don't be surprised, the villain is Wang Yiqi, the king's temperance, and he just cut a messy branch with a knife, so as to clear the road and make it convenient for adults to walk. Wang Yiqi was taken aback, he listened to the words of outsiders, and knew in his heart that this was someone from the Jizhou government, but he didn't know why he had to go through this remote back door, as if he was sneaking and couldn't see the light, it was really rare.

"Don't clear it, it's urgent, I ask you where Wang Pu is, hurry up and call him over, there is a big matter to discuss. The officer, who spoke very prestigiously, seemed to be in a hurry.

Outside the city of Jizhou, the Shenjia Battalion military village is as quiet as a valley at the moment, the sun is shining, the shadow of the execution platform is like a long sword, the killing sword qi splits the school field, the two groups of people and horses are clearly clustered together, as if the Shenjia Battalion has been torn apart, the majority of the group is Wang Pu's descendants, they all look bad, cold eyes and angry eyes on the other side, those new rat feces scourge the people, ruin the reputation of the Shenjia Battalion, and their lord will have to take the whip and apologize to the bitter master. And this reputation was earned by the old men of the Shenjia Battalion with their hard work, and they exchanged for their accumulated military exploits.

Although the rough man in the army is not a scholar with a splendid article and a delicate heart, there is still no shortage of eyes and eyes, after the city of Jizhou was broken, Wang Pu hid in the city, and the fox-like beauty was like glue, forgetting the geometry of the world. Although the sergeants didn't say anything, they inevitably had contempt and contempt in their hearts, but they were just perverts, and they didn't know how to save themselves when they reached the moment of life and death.

It is rumored in the cavalry that the emperor is a faint king, who wants to harm Wang Pu,

when there was a team of Jinyi guards in the barracks who locked and took away the thousand general Liu Yishan, many people saw this matter, and then saw Liu Yishan return unharmed, it is said that Wang Pu led the cavalry team to kill the royal Jinyi guard, and saved the thousand general. The rumors coincide with what I have seen, and people can't believe it. Everyone was shocked and felt that the future was worrying, they thought that the Shenjia Battalion was a good destination, Lord Wang Pu had money and food, never owed military salaries, and had the courage to take them to make meritorious contributions, and indeed won many battles in a row. In troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and having a home to live in is extremely precious.

In the past, they were willing to die in battle, because everyone firmly believed that as long as Wang Pu lived, their wives and children would be able to have no shortage of food and clothing, and it was not easy to survive in this troubled era, and it was worth sacrificing their lives to protect their wives and children. But now Wang Pu's life is hanging by a thread, he still doesn't know it, he is still attached to beauty, and he can't extricate himself from being trapped in a gentle township, everyone sees this, and they all feel cold in their hearts, and secretly slander themselves: Lu Bu's trapped camp, Xiang Yu's Jiangdong Chu army, their Shenjia battalion will have a similar end sooner or later.

"My lord also has difficulties, we have too few cavalry, and there are few soldiers. Someone comes to run, it's not like picking up a treasure. The little soldier Jing Da Niu talked with people.

"It is said that the Ruhuo camp is the standard camp of Datong Town, and it is also an elite army that dares to fight, how can it be so unbearable. There are also people who twist their eyebrows and say, but they deliberately raise their voices, and these words spread to the other end of the school field, Liang Sanqian was ashamed when he heard it, and secretly gritted his teeth.

"Let's all disperse, Lord Temperance and Gao Baihu will have to recuperate from their injuries in the next few days, you all be honest and don't make trouble. Bai Xingle, the secretary of the Third Fire Gun Team, reminded everyone.

In the military tent in the camp, Wang Pu lay on the bed, grinning hoarsely in pain, as if someone was sharpening a knife on his back at this moment, there were bursts of sharp pain that scratched his heart, his right arm hung to the ground, and his elbow had cool droplets from time to time, Wang Pu asked: "Did I bleed?" "

"My lord, there are three wounds on the back that have broken the skin, and the bleeding has stopped after applying the medicine, and it has not flowed out again, but the sacs of the military team really dare to hit, and I am afraid that these three places will leave scars. Wang Da, the captain of the pro-soldiers, replied respectfully.

"They are already merciful to their subordinates, and I feel that the first three lashes are powerful, and the back is empty. Wang Pu shifted his head and glanced at the ground under his right arm, which turned out to be just dripping with colorless sweat.

"My lord, there is a big official outside, and the waist card is the rank of the department. "Suddenly, a soldier came in to report it.

"Hmm, hiss, the entourage of the official outside, is there a lot. Wang Pu was worried that Chongzhen would send Dongchang or Jinyi Wei masters to plot against him and kill him.

"It's a bit much, there are about 50 people, and that big official is not very easy to speak, and it is easy to stop it when he marks it. "This pro-soldier is one of Wang Wei's family members who gave Wang Pu, the descendants of Hongguo Mansion have seen the world, and they can understand Wang Pu's current situation, with this eye, Wang Pu arranged for him to receive visitors, this is a technical job, the official position of the person is different, the faction is different, and it is necessary to hang a different face to meet, ordinary people are not competent, according to the regulations, irreplaceable special talents can receive an extra money allowance every month. This is the employment method that Wang Pu learned from modern company management.

"Is there any sign of martial arts in that big official? Wang Pu thought for a moment and asked.

"He's a reader, and he's still old. The soldier wanted to laugh in his heart, but replied with a solemn look on his face.

"That's good, give me a thumb and help me up. Wang Pu gritted his teeth and ordered: "It hurts, move lightly." "

I don't know how long it took, but the clouds and shadows in the sky changed, accumulating into very different things, the curtain of the Chinese army's tent was lifted, and the Shangshu Hou of the Ministry of War came in and took out his nose heavily, "snorting". Seeing Wang Pu sitting on top with such a big grin, he didn't make a gesture to salute, which shows that this son is arrogant to the extreme, and his anger is almost uncontrollable.

After a long period of silence, the needles in the account could be heard, Hou Sui always stared at Wang Pu coldly, and did not speak, the cold and terrifying eyes reminded people of the fierce insects that were ready to devour people.

"Wang Jie, why are you sweating, are you weak in the face of this official? Hou Sui suddenly asked. frightened Wang Pu, who was muttering about what was wrong with this fierce old man.

"This lord is rude, and the subordinate is seriously injured, so it is inconvenient to kneel and worship. Wang Pu subconsciously wiped his cheeks, and sure enough, there were some beads of sweat oozing out because he couldn't stand the pain.

"Oh, no one ever said you were wounded, what's the matter, did you take the lead in the siege, hum. Hou Sui sneered, he didn't see that the person in front of him had a martial spirit, and he was quite puzzled in his heart Although Wang Pu is a military general, he is full of squishful appearance, how can such a person still bring out a strong army, or a person can not be good-looking.

"I'm not afraid of this adult's jokes, I, I have violated military law and have been beaten with ten lashes. Wang Pu explained with a wry smile.
