Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-ninth, please take the bait

In the battle of the Han Mansion, Lang Fanyunfang won a complete victory, only losing more than 200 brothers and wounding more than a thousand people.Qi Changzheng, Feng Xinglie, Han Bai, Jingcheng Leng, and Fan Liangji suffered minor injuries, but none of them were serious injuries. The enemy suffered heavy casualties, leaving seven thousand dead and wounded. Lan Zhiyuan sent a large number of officials to clean up the disaster site. The fly in the ointment is that Shun Yan, Bai Fanghua, Qu Xianzhou, Chen Ping, Song Yu, Xie Feng and others escaped. Meiniang and the witches never showed up, leaving only Han Xiwu whose acupuncture points were tapped and sent to Lan Mansion.

The one who was most dissatisfied with himself was Qi Changzheng, who let Song Yu, a despicable traitor, escape during the turmoil of the army. Unexpectedly, he was so proficient in the art of escaping and hiding, and he seemed to be a direct descendant of the Demon Sect. Contrary to him just now, Han Bai, An Qing let Xing Caiyuan go secretly, without being noticed by the girls. Zhuang Qingshuang and Xu Yeyue killed so many people for the first time. At the moment of life and death, Wuxia thought about it. Now that they calmed down, they couldn't bear to witness it, and their faces turned pale.

After Liang Qiumo let more than ten mule carts full of corpses drive out of the mansion, he and Lao Jie walked in. When they arrived in front of Lang Fanyun, the reluctant couple and Lan Zhiyuan who were discussing the aftermath, they said: "The five tigers of Changchun and The congregation ran away when they heard the news, and fled to Huangzhou Mansion, and now Wuchang is completely under our control." Five people, Qi Changzheng, Feng Xinglie, Jing Chengleng, Han Bai, and Fan Liangji, who had just finished adjusting their breathing and bandaging, came over to listen to the latest news.The women formed another group and discussed endlessly.

Reluctant to ask: "How is the situation in Huangzhou Mansion?" Lan Zhiyuan said: "The lower officials have sent people there to inquire about the news, and there should be reports soon." Gu Ningqing said: "Master Lan, if you openly rebel now, what are your plans in the future?" Lan Zhiyuan smiled wryly and said: "Now this is my only way of life. Fortunately, all the nearby prefectures and counties are direct descendants of small officials, and most of the military generals are from the command of the ghost king. It's not that I don't have the strength to resist. With everyone's support, If Shengyong's army in Huangzhou Prefecture is repelled, and Yun Wen has no time to distract because of cutting down the feudal clan, it should be no problem to support it for a month or two."

Lang Fanyun smiled and said: "Master Lan, you can rest assured, now our fate and your lord's fate are closely linked, and the enemy's main force has been hit irreparably, which makes our momentum great, and everyone will return to their hearts. Your lord can pass the eight factions. , Recruit a large number of reliable masters and train them. When King Yan went south, Yun Wen was restrained in the northwest, let's see why he guards the capital." Fan Liang was extremely scheming and asked: "Northeast of Dongting, Yuezhou Mansion, Wuchang Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion are adjacent to each other, holding the throat of the entire Yangtze River waterway from Dongting to Yingtian Mansion. Cutting off the most convenient and quick connection between the capital and the most affluent states in the southwest, Yun Yun would never tolerate these three big mansions falling into our hands."

Lan Zhiyuan said confidently: "If Yun Wen wanted to regain Wuchang, the best way would be to attack by water. If he came by land, he would have to mobilize troops and solve the problem of supplies. It would be impossible to do it in less than a month or two. Officials have this confidence. Now most of Qitai's naval forces are concentrated in the towns and counties along the lake in Dongting, and the three largest naval forces are stationed in Yuezhou, Lujiao and Nujiao Island. Only Yuezhou is controlled by the governor. Chen Xuan's leadership is the most threatening to Wuchang, but now that the Nujiao fleet is in charge of dealing with it, Yuezhou government has no time to protect itself, and it is afraid that it will not be able to attack Wuchang."

Fan Liangji stared at him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my old friend to be so proficient in military affairs, so I can rest assured." Lan Zhiyuan recalled that day when he accepted the "big gift" from Wan Nian, his old face blushed slightly and said, "Why don't you go back to my residence and have a cup of hot tea, it's almost dawn." Han Bai thought of Han Ningzhi and sister Xiaoju, and quickly agreed, and everyone was indeed exhausted, so they needed a good rest. Then they went back home. Han Bai went straight to the inner hall, and when he arrived outside Han Ningzhi's room, he first called Xiaoju out and asked, "Miss, are you awake?"

Xiaoju remembered that she had hugged and kissed this man who she had always regarded as her younger brother, but now he had become majestic and heroic, and nodded shyly and shamelessly, saying: "I have told her all the things, why don't you give me a hand?" You said it was you who rescued her, and she was very moved when she heard that, and clamored to find you, alas! You don’t know how hard Miss is looking forward to you?” Han Bai was puzzled and asked, "Then why did you yell about hell when you saw me last time, and even fainted from fright, do I look like a ghost?"

Seeing the funny look of him touching her face suspiciously, Xiaoju couldn't help but smile, she gave him a blank look with a smile, and said playfully, "Don't you know how to ask her yourself?" Han Bai's heart became hot, and he really wanted to hug her to be intimate and tender, but Xiaoju's "remaining power" was still there, teaching him not to offend, he just stretched out his hand to pinch her little hand, and said sincerely: "Now Xiaobai has made a name for himself. Will Sister Xiaoju follow Xiaobai from now on? Xiaobai will try her best to make Sister Xiaoju happy."

Xiaoju's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head shyly: "Where Miss goes, she will go there. Xiaobai, if you treat Miss well, she is already very happy. The Han family is very kind to me, of course I want Miss to have a better life in the future." Good!" Han Bai couldn't bear it anymore, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and shouted: "Oh my god! I never thought that sister Xiaoju would become my good sister, Han Bai..." Embarrassed, Xiaoju pushed him violently and said angrily, "Go in!" Han Bai also wanted to see Han Ningzhi, so he pushed the door open and entered the room.

Han Ningzhi was sitting on the bed with her arms around her, frowning, and when she heard the door opening, she thought Xiaoju was coming back, but when she looked away, she saw it was Han Bai, "Ah!" and stared at him dumbfounded. Seeing that she didn't think of him as a ghost anymore, Han Bai let go of half of his worries, came to her bed with a smile like in the past, sat on the edge of the bed, patted his forehead and said: "I forgot to bring Miss Wu's doll, let the lady hug her." Sleeping, Xiaobai deserves to die, really deserves to die." Han Ningzhi stared at him in a daze, uncontrollably tears fell from her beautiful eyes, and dripped down her cheeks on the embroidered quilt, she reached out tremblingly, touched his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Ah! Xiaobai! God! Xiaobai." All kinds of past events appeared one by one in the heart lake. Han Bai remembered that all the happiness in his childhood came from this fifth lady, and his heart was agitated. He reached out and hugged her into the messenger, and said with infinite love: "Everything is over. Now, we can be together again like before, carefree, in two days we will go to pick mountain flowers and figs to eat, and we can raise another nest of ants, and watch them carry mud and food every day.” Han Ningzhi hugged his waist tightly, and cried bitterly: "Father and mother were taken away by the bad guys, Xiaobai, go and save them..." Han Bai stroked her pink back, feeling sore in his heart, and comforted him: "Don't worry! There are already very powerful experts to save them, maybe they will come back when you wake up." Han Ningzhi half-believingly said: "Really?" Han Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it's true. Am I not afraid of knocking your head off?" Han Ningzhi happily sat up straight, with an innocent and lovely smile on her tear-stained pretty face, looked at him and said, "Oh! I didn't expect you to become so good-looking. You also come to teach me the martial arts of the demon seed." Don’t you forget that we once set up a state where anyone who learns unrivaled martial arts will teach it to the other party with all their pockets.” Han Bai's eyes could not help falling on her bulging breasts in the thin clothes, thinking to himself that you have grown up a lot, no wonder you were so comfortable when you hugged her just now. Han Ningzhi saw him staring at her handsome chest lewdly, her pretty face flushed, and she said with embarrassment, "You are so bad and bold." Han Bai scratched his head and smiled playfully, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Didn't you want me to teach you the devil's martial arts? Naturally, I want to see you first... hey... look at you." He stretched out his hand and pointed at her heaving breasts. Han Ningzhi's ears turned red, and she said coquettishly, "What does it have to do with learning martial arts? If you can't tell, Ning Zhi will never let you go." Han Bai's heart softened, and he leaned into her little ear and said, "The magic seed is the most amazing skill in the world. Only husband and wife can practice together on the bed. Don't you remember that we once pretended to be husband and wife? It's just that we haven't even got married yet!" Han Ningzhi snorted, fell into his arms and said, "He betrayed you, why are you still so kind to him!" Han Bai was surprised and said: "Didn't you come for fun that time? Fifth Miss was just playing! Alas! Fifth Miss is actually my great benefactor. My Xiaobai can only repay Miss Fifth's kindness in bed every night for the rest of my life. " Han Ningzhi was ashamed and happy, punched him a few times, raised her pretty face and said angrily: "When did you become so flamboyant? And you are cruel, after you came to see someone that time, you never looked back, mother And if I'm not allowed to look for you, I don't know how miserable it is!" Han Bai scratched his head and said, "Why do you yell to hell when you see someone, you almost worry me to death." Han Ningzhi said embarrassingly: "I had a very real dream the night before that day. I dreamed that you were brought back from a dead body. Sigh! Since you were taken away by others, I often can't tell the difference. What is a dream, what is not a dream, everything becomes unreal and clear." Han Bai was stunned, if she was seriously traumatized by internal blame, and she couldn't bear any more blows, if something happened to Han Tiande and the others, it would be terrible.He was born in the Han family, so he naturally understood the deep relationship between her and her parents, siblings. This thought still persisted, Xiao Ju rushed into the room and shouted excitedly: "There is good news from Mrs. and Mrs!" Han Tiande and his wife, Han Qingfeng, Han Xiwen, Han Lanzhi, and more than a dozen servants did not return to Wuchang until the evening of the next day. They were intercepted by Shuai Nianzu's men on the way, and killed more than a hundred factory guards who were escorting them, and sent people immediately Send them back to Wuchang. The members of the Han family had already accepted their fate, but they did not expect such an almost impossible turn of events. They were overjoyed, and when they returned to Lan Mansion, they were even more ecstatic to see Han Ningzhi and the ashamed Han Xiwu again. The only thing left to worry about is Huizhi. After lunch, Lang Fanyun said his goodbyes and went back to Xiaonujiao. At this moment, everyone regarded him as a god. No matter how powerful Ren Hanbo and others imagined him beforehand, they would never have guessed that he could stand alone. All the masters of the opponent created miraculous results, reducing the casualty rate to the lowest level.With him returning to Xiaonujiao to sit in town, everyone will have no worries. Liang Qiumo, Lao Jie, and Zheng Guangyan's coalition forces, except for the wounded staying to heal their wounds, only rested for a morning, then rushed to Huangzhou to see if they could help the commander-in-chief Nianzu. In order to recover the angry horses and prepare for the great cause of national restoration, the reluctant couple went directly to Shuangxiu mansion by land. As for the contact with Zhang Xin, who is the city envoy of Beiping, they patted their chests to guarantee that there would be no problem. Jingcheng Leng and the people from the Ghost King's Mansion decided to stay and help Lan Zhiyuan. They also used Wuchang as a base to contact military generals who were related to the Ghost King's Mansion, paving the way for King Yan to come south. Han, Feng, Qi, Fan Liangji and Jujiao's wife had to stay here for the time being, waiting for the battle reports from Huangzhou Prefecture and Yuezhou Prefecture, as well as Han Huizhi's news. At this time, Han Tiande, Han Xiwen and his son went back to the Han Mansion to see the situation, and then they found Han Bai and Fan Liangji to discuss. Except for Han Qingfeng who still had to stay in the room to rest because his body had not fully recovered, everyone in the Han family gathered in a small hall in the inner house of the Lan family to talk. Han Tiande said: "Our Han family's old house is no longer suitable for living after this catastrophe. Fortunately, we still have a few places in Wuchang where we can settle down. We decided to fully support the Nujiao Gang and King Yan, so as to deal with the evildoers of the Destiny Sect. Hmph I am not good at martial arts, but when it comes to shipping business, I will never take the second place. I only hope that the Nujiao Gang can control the waterway as soon as possible, and then we will concentrate on developing land operations, so that supplies can be sent to various places without hindrance .” Mrs. Han sighed: "Oh! The most worrying thing is Huizhi, and she has to take responsibility for her old age. If she hadn't been forced to marry the little thief of the Song family, she wouldn't have gotten the land she is in today." sobbed. After being comforted by the crowd, Fan Liangji suggested: "Wuchang is always a place where soldiers are in danger of fighting, Madam and the two young ladies might as well avoid to the secret base of the Nujiao Gang, where Lang Fanyun will take care of them, it will be much safer. " Han Xiwen nodded and said: "We also have this intention, so we asked the two of you to discuss it." Xiang Han Bai smiled and said: "Xiao Bai is now a famous hero in the world. If you don't think we are too high-ranking, both father and mother..." Han Ningzhi "Ah!" jumped up, and coquettishly said with shame and joy: "You are bullying me!" She blushed and slipped away. Han Tiande laughed loudly, and said happily, "Xiaobai understands what we mean!" Han Bai hurriedly got up and knelt down to kowtow, with a humble and filial demeanor. Mrs. Han said: "The current situation is abnormal. Keep everything simple. We will make up the big gift when King Yan regains the world in the future. Xiaobai, you are the most important thing to take care of her. Fortunately, Ning'er has a gentle temperament and is very accommodating. We are not too worried." Han Bai understood that she was referring to the problem of Han Ningzhi getting along with Xu Yeyue and other girls, and hurriedly guaranteed Han Ningzhi's future happiness. Everyone in the Han family, including Han Xiwu, who has always been at odds with him, is full of confidence in him, secretly thinking that there is such a quick son-in-law of the Han family who is among the top experts in the world. With the relationship between King Yan and the major sects, who would dare to touch the Han family. Han Tiande looked towards Han Lanzhi and said: "Lan Zhi originally married into the Zhao family in Xiangtan, Changsha Prefecture in the next spring, now we have decided to advance the wedding and leave tomorrow, and Xiwu will be responsible for sending her to Xiangtan. The Zhao family has a reputation and is capable of protecting Lan Zhi, and this matter will be carried out in secret, no outsiders will know." Han Lanzhi bowed her head in embarrassment, overwhelmed with embarrassment. Fan Liangji said: "Do you want to send more guards?" Han Xiwen said: "There should be no problem with this. Wudang Shaolin is accompanied by masters, and the route is carefully planned, so there should be no trouble. Alas! Huimei will be fine when she comes back, alas!" Han Bai understood what was on their minds. Even though Han Huizhi could return safely, she would end up being the wife of the Song family, and it would be difficult for her to remarry. That's why Han Xiwen sighed. Fan Liang smiled strangely: "Do you know who the second lady's real sweetheart is?" Everyone in the Han family was stunned. Fan Liangji winked at Han Bai, and the latter hurriedly went to find Qi Changzheng. When Han Bo came back with Qi Changzheng under his escort, all members of the Han family knew the relationship between Qi Changzheng and Han Huizhi, and they were overjoyed. Qi Changzheng came in front of the Han couple, and without waiting for them to speak, he said proudly: "Hui Zhi was only victimized by a traitor, and I, Qi Changzheng, will never care about it in the slightest, and I will treat her better, as long as Master Han and his wife don't care about it." I think my old Qi is a martial artist, and this old Qi is willing to take the responsibility for her to obtain a happy life in the future. Even if she has that little thief's child, I won't take it to heart." Everyone in the Han family didn't expect him to be so broad-minded, and they were so moved that they couldn't speak. In a reunion mood of joy and worry, things settled down. In the early morning of the next day, good news came from Yuezhou Prefecture and Huangzhou Prefecture. Zhai Yushi and Ling Zhantian attacked Chen Xuan's naval fleet in Yuezhou Prefecture by water and land. After clearing the wooden fences and obstacles blocking the river, they attacked the enemy ships with fire and smoke halls. After a day and night of fierce fighting, they sank the More than a dozen enemy ships left and more than 20 ships were seized. Chen Xuan was defeated and went to Wuchang, where he was attacked by more than a dozen cannons along the river. Zhai Yushi and Ling Zhantian divided half of his fleet to over 40 ships, and pursued them along the river until they reached Huangzhou Prefecture. At this time, Shuai Nianzu and the enemy soldiers rose up and Sheng Yong fled back to the capital.Chen Xuan didn't dare to stay, and fled along the river, and the two state capitals of Yuezhou and Huangzhou fell into the control of the Nujiao Gang. Han Bai and the others were overjoyed, and went to Mantou to meet up with Ling Zhantian and Zhai Yushi's fleet that came back from Huangzhou Mansion, and headed for Yuezhou Mansion. The magistrate of Yuezhou fled at night, and Ren Tianru, a local military general from Xining, took over.The Angry Jiao Gang immediately gained momentum, shaking the government and the public. On board the newly built flagship of the Nu Jiao Clan, Nu Jiao, everyone jumped with joy and their morale was greatly boosted.Washed away the decadence of losing the anger of Jiaodao. The fleet sailed upstream along the river towards Yuezhou Prefecture. Ling Zhantian, Zhai Yushi and Han Bai gathered in the main cabin to discuss strategies. The daughters of Xu Yeyue slipped to the deck to enjoy the scenery, and Ning Zhi and Xiaoju were accompanying them. Under the special care and care of the daughters, Han Ningzhi was smiling all day long, as happy as a bird, only When I think of my second sister, I feel troubled.No one can help in this matter. Everyone in the cabin gathered around the table to discuss matters, Fan Liangji said: "Let's not be too happy, Qiqi's navy in Dongting not only has a lot of training, but also has a strong ship and guns, and it is several times as strong as ours in a few days. What's more, now that the situation is reversed, we have to rely on It is not easy to defend Huangzhou Mansion from being active to passive." Han Bai smiled and said, "It seems that you are an expert in water warfare. Uncle Ling and Yushi certainly have countermeasures!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh at these two live treasures, Ling Zhantian laughed and said: "Brother Fan!" Han Bai interrupted: "Master Ling, Lao Fan is most jealous of the word 'old'. You can call him Xiao Fan, Fan Boy, or Liangjier if you like, but please don't call him Lao Fan." Fan Liang was so angry that he laughed, and said fiercely: "I will settle accounts with you later, let me tell Yue'er and the others who you deliberately left during the battle in the Han family." Han Bai was at a disadvantage immediately and raised his hand to beg for mercy. After everyone made a fuss, Zhai Yushi turned to the main topic and said: "If we stick to Yuezhou Mansion, it would be a miracle to be able to defend it for three days." Feng Xinglie said in astonishment: "Zhai Yushi's tone, is there another countermeasure? But if we don't keep the Yuezhou Prefecture and control the Yangtze River waterway, in less than ten and a half months, these three hard-earned state capitals may all be taken back by Qi Tai Got it." Zhai Yushi smiled calmly and said, "Did you forget that I mentioned Qu Qiubai as the bait? The night we left Xiao Nujiao, he 'successfully' escaped, and he should have hooked up with Qi Tai by now." Han Bai scratched his head and said, "I still don't quite understand this matter. Wouldn't they be suspicious of Qu Qiubai running away so easily? Logically, he should have been slaughtered and eaten long ago." Qi Changzheng said with a smile: "Oh! Boy Han, you haven't learned the methods of Yushi, he has already made a plan to let Qu Qiubai know that he will be sacrificed to the tomb of the former gang leader after Nujiao Island is recovered. He believes that he got out of trouble by his own treachery. Hey! But I don’t know what clever trick he used, let Yu Shi say it himself!” Zhai Yushi said indifferently: "I deliberately arranged for a leader who Qu Qiubai had saved his mother to take care of him. I carefully deliberated the process and even every sentence he said. What convinced Qu Qiubai the most was that when this person encouraged Qu Qiubai to escape, he even I brought my lovely wife and my son, but this old thief doesn't believe it." Feng Xinglie frowned and said, "So this brother and his family are in great danger?" Ling Zhantian said: "Of course we will not sacrifice this brother and his family, so we immediately sent pursuers to hunt them down, and pretended to kill this brother in front of Qu thief, and then cleverly arranged for him to escape , So, do you understand?" Zhai Yushi said: "The huge facilities of the base can't just be moved away. Our main force is here again, so we don't allow Qi Tai any time to think about it. If he wants to eradicate our base, the only way is to use all the water immediately. Master, attack the little angry dragon, when we turn around to deal with us, we are like homeless orphans. Let him slaughter." Everyone was amazed, the most powerful part of this move was that no one would believe that the Nujiao Gang would do anything at the risk of magnifying the enemy's escape. Lao Jie and Zheng Guangyan suddenly said at the same time: "So now we are going to Xiao Nujiao." Ling Zhantian said excitedly: "That's right, we also provided false information to Qu Qiubai, but no matter whether he fell into the trap or not, after our careful arrangements, and knowing the waters in the area very well, if they don't come, it will be very difficult for them to come." Already, otherwise it will be annihilation of the whole army, and then it will be the time for us to recover Nujiao Island." Qi Changzheng said: "Of course we will set up a false situation, let Qitai's spies think that we are staying in Yuezhou Mansion, so we can feel more at ease and go to Xiao Nujiao to die." Fan Liang yelled strangely: "Happy, happy!" He took out the pipe, and shouted at Han Bai: "Boy Han, don't you want to get two cans of Qingxi flowing spring?" Han Bai fell on his hand with a sore foot, and humbly obeyed, and there was a burst of laughter from behind.
