Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Before the Great War

Three days later, everyone arrived at the joint fleet assembled eleven miles east of Nujiao Island, and joined Shangguan Ying, Zhai Yushi, Ling Zhantian and others. Everyone will meet again after a little farewell, and there will be some joy and excitement. Liang Qiumo took them to Nujiao Island, circled around for a circle, pointed out the various layouts and military facilities on Nujiao Island that was heavily blocked, and said with a smile: "We have established a gang here for forty years, and they only After a mere few months of occupation, no matter how they arrange it, they can't win our hands, not to mention that Qi Tai has become a lone army besieged by all sides."

Qi Changzheng looked at the exposed masts of several enemy docks moored in the hidden place of Houma Island, and snorted coldly: "Have those secret underwater passages of ours been destroyed?" Liang Qiumo said: "Of the eight secret passages, six were found to be damaged, and there are still two usable." Fan Liang was very surprised: "How can you know so clearly?" Liang Qiumo said: "Every day people escape from Nujiao Island and come to surrender to us. Yesterday there were more than 30 people, and Qi Tai couldn't stop them. Do you think we don't know the situation on the island?"

Han Bai frowned and said, "Then why didn't you attack Nujiao Island? Maybe the enemy escaped halfway when the battle started." "Boom boom boom!" Amidst the rumbling of the cannons, the Nujiao Allied Forces started their daily morning and evening shelling battles, making the enemy sleepless. Liang Qiumo lay lazily on the side of the railing, watching the fire from the top of the fort on the island.He said spontaneously: "We are waiting for Qi Tai's reinforcements." He paused and explained: "Under the command of Sheng Yong, the capital has assembled more than 100,000 sailors and dozens of warships, but they are only used to guard the area from the capital to Poyang. One day, the threat of King Yan was still there, and he never dared to take the risk of coming south, but we did not have the assistance of the land army, so we attacked and waited to die, so there was still a stalemate."

Qi Changzheng nodded and continued: "But the situation in the southwest of Dongting is different. Yun Wen has issued an order and sent Chen Xuan, who is proficient in water warfare, to Changde to gather naval fleets from all over the world to prepare for the cause of resentment. We I just want them to come so that we can destroy Yun Wen's remaining forces in this water area in one fell swoop." Fan Liangji said: "Why are you good at water warfare? Last time, we killed you so much that you ran away with your head in your arms. Go back to Jinling." Feng Xing said with a strong smile: "This is thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang. If he hadn't slaughtered all the heroes of the founding of the country, then he would have to use defeated generals. However, centipedes are dead but not stiff. Chen Xuan has learned a lesson, and now Zhao is well prepared. , the strength is also above ours, coupled with Qi Tai's counterattack, this battle is not so easy."

Jing Cheng coldly said: "This guy Chen Xuan's father is an old master, and I am quite familiar with him. Now he should also hear the rumors about Yun Wen and Tianming Sect. Why don't I go to Changde and talk to him?" It may be possible to resolve this crisis without bloodshed." Liang Qiumo was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case, there will be less gray hairs during the rain, but there are a large number of masters from the capital in Changde. If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to see Chen Xuan, but it may be difficult to get out." Fan Liang said disdainfully: "They have masters, don't we? Let me and Xiao Bai'er accompany the little ghost king to play. If Chen Xuan is sensible, he will hee him, otherwise red knives come in and white knives come out, there is no human kindness to speak of."

Qi Changzheng said with a smile: "The young thief seems to regard himself as Uncle Lang. Alas! In order to explain to Sister Yunqing, I will try my best to protect you! By the way, I will also take care of Han Lang who is on the moon. Xing Lie! Are you going?" ?” Feng Xinglie laughed and said: "If I don't go, who will take care of your old relative?" While laughing, Liang Qiumo shouted: "I am very familiar with Changde, hey! I mean the brothel there, and my younger brother is responsible for leading the way. We will let others be rich and thrifty, and take care of everything."

Han Bai was overjoyed, and waved his hands and winked, asking him to avoid Jingcheng's coldness. The latter laughed dumbly, put his arm around Han Bai's shoulder and said, "Do you think I'm a pedantic man who doesn't understand the past? I'm just doing it every now and then, as long as you don't get two more My little concubine is going back, I have no time to pay attention to you bastard." Qi Changzheng shook his head and said: "Old Jing is really powerful, he gave a verbal warning in an understatement, this matter is on my shoulders, if the matter leaks out, you have to make it clear to the tigress in my house that I only set foot there to control Han Bai Plant a place."

Amidst laughter and the sound of cannons, the warship sailed back. Five days later, six people came to Changde Mansion. They all changed their appearances and pretended to be the characters who came here on loan from the escort agency, because they made a lot of money, they spent time and money on the way. There is no atmosphere of war in Changde Mansion.Except for the warships moored and patrolling on the river.The market is quiet. When the lanterns come on, the busiest streets are full of music and music, and the cars and horses are noisy. When passing by brothels and restaurants, there are sounds of silk, bamboo, strings and pipes, boxing games and wine.

Weeping willows are planted all over the city, which is very characteristic of the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone forgot for a moment that they came here with an important mission. The six people arrived at a restaurant and sighed greatly according to the case. Liang Qiumo slipped out, turned around after a short while and said, "I contacted the local Local Snake Guild, and I heard that Chen Xuan will host a banquet tonight at the most famous brothel 'Lanxiangshe' to entertain a group of important people who came out of the capital. Character. Ha! This kid is really leisurely."

Feng Xinglie smiled wryly at Fan Liangji: "This time I can't imagine that you won't be able to fool around in a brothel." Han Bai said with a smile on his face, "I made up my mind not to set foot in the land of strange flowers and moons, so I will resign myself to it this time!" Qi Changzheng spit out all the food in his mouth, panting: "This brat who has no guts!" Jing Cheng frowned coldly and said, "How can I have a private talk with Chen Xuan on that occasion?" Fan Liangji smiled and said, "Just pretend to be a woman." Jing Cheng said coldly: "What?"

Liang Qiumo suppressed a smile and said, "Chen Xuan's official office is not fortified, or you can visit the door, and then adapt accordingly! Six heads combined, I'm afraid they are half as powerful as Zhai Yushi!" Han Bai said: "Is there any girl you know there?" Liang Qiumo said excitedly: "I almost recognized the madam Sun Da Niang as my concubine, do you think I have any girls who are interested in me? Sigh! But this is the most troublesome part, they can also take me Recognize it. Uh! Let me study it first, my aunt, one step ahead, you guys come again!" After saying that, he hurried away. The five stayed for a while, and left the tavern after paying the bill. Following Liang Qiumo's instructions, they arrived in front of Piaoxiangshe, which looked like a princely mansion. Qi Changzheng was familiar with the way, and walked in first. The two turtle slaves guarding the door hadn't figured out who was coming, but the richest old thief had already stuffed two ingots into their hands, and said generously: "The best wing room , the hottest girl!" The tortoise slaves immediately showed the humble demeanor of seeing the emperor, welcomed the group of rich guests into the hall, asked them to sit down and pour tea and water, and served thoughtfully. Han Bai whispered to Fan Liangji: "You seem to be better at it than old Qi, do you often come to steal food, and you say you are practicing boy skills!" Fan Liang said disdainfully: "If you have silver taels, you can do it everywhere, boy, follow me to see." Then his expression changed: "Everyone be careful!" Everyone just heard that there were chariots and horses driving into the square in front of the building, upon hearing this, they restrained their energy and put on a show. Fortunately, at this time, two vulgar maidservants came to greet them to go up to the second floor, and they left behind.Chen Xuan had already led seven or eight people into the hall, three of them were Qu Xianzhou, the "God of War", the "God of War", the "God of War" of Lang Qiyun in the battle of the Han family, and Song Yu, the great enemy of Qi Changzheng. When they entered the wing room, their hearts were still beating wildly. Unexpectedly, they were so lucky that they encountered three big fish. After sitting down, five attractive girls flew in like butterflies, and they laughed and served wine, played zithers and sang songs. It was very lively. Han Bai didn't care about these wild flowers that were not as far away as home flowers, and unfolded his flirtatious tricks, which made the room shake with laughter. Fan Liang is extremely deceptive, his exercise has changed his vocal cords, and his witty remarks are like pearls, which is very funny. After a while, the laughing and talking of Chen Xuan and others could be faintly heard from the opposite wing, and everyone was shocked, thinking that it would be such a coincidence. Liang Qiumo, who was missing, came into the room at this moment, pointed to the upstairs and blinked his eyes, sat in one of the women's chairs, and said next to her: "We are all from our own family, we are not afraid of anything." Only then did everyone suddenly realize that everything was arranged by this kid. Qi Changzheng was eager to take Song Yu, and when he was about to speak, Liang Qiumo winked and said, "The villain will do everything that the gentlemen want you to arrange, and now I'm just drinking and having fun, don't neglect us beauties Son." Everyone was overjoyed, and they made as much noise as before with the girls. Fan Liangji pricked up his ears, but all the gentlemen above only talked about Fengyue and didn't mention anything else.Chen Xuan and Qu Xianzhou were obviously very lustful, making the girls around them sigh and refuse. At this time, an old lady came in and made gestures with the girls, two of the three were in charge of accompaniment by Xiaosheng, and the other was singing. Covered by the sound of music, after being introduced by Liang Qiumo, Aunt Sun sat down and said: "Sure enough, as I expected, Chen Xuan and the Miao ghost will stay overnight tonight. What are you going to do?" Then she sent a gift to Han Bai. A wink said: "My family has heard of the young master's name for a long time!" Seeing that her charm still exists, Han Bai secretly thought that although she is not as good as Mei Niang, but she can make up for it with experience, he said in a bewildered way: "Although I met Da Niang for the first time, it seems that I have known each other in a previous life." All the girls laughed and scolded him, blaming him for being biased. Thinking of Song Yu, Qi Changzheng was no longer in the mood to hunt for beauty, and said coldly: "Song Yu belongs to my old Qi." Feng Xinglie calmly said: "What kind of master does the other party have?" Liang Qiumo said: "Currently there are only more than 50 guards from Chen Xuan and Shurangyan's factory guards inside and outside the building, but when Shurangyan leaves, those factory guards will naturally go with him, and Qu Xianzhou doesn't need it either." Someone is going to protect him." Jing Cheng said coldly: "Aren't you afraid of hurting the aunt?" Aunt Sun said in a low voice: "Xiaoqiu is the most reassuring of my family. He will be able to arrange things that seem to have nothing to do with us... But everyone, don't forget that my family and my good daughters have done things for you!" Liang Qiumo said: "Don't worry! I will take care of my aunt, that's it! How will the manpower be allocated? The little ghost king is naturally going to deal with Chen Xuan." Qi Changzheng said coldly: "Song Yu will be taken care of by me, as long as there are people blocking Leng Yan and his factory guards." Fan Liangji said: "Let's do this! Xiaoqiu and Xiaofeng help Xiao Qi, Xiao Bai'er and I are in charge of slaughtering Qu Xianzhou, and Xiao Jing goes to talk to Chen Xuan. Ha! All the boys are dispatched together, this trip is really exciting." The song and music stopped for a while, and everyone hurriedly continued to make fun and make noise. Liu Niangmei smiled and went. Fan Liang was so excited to drink, he couldn't stop guessing fist and betting with the girls, his face would be sweet when he won, and he would give silver taels if he lost, all the girls regarded this funny old man like a pearl and a treasure. Liang Qiumo said with a smile: "It turns out that he is the one who likes to play around the most." Liu Niang came back at this moment and winked at everyone. Everyone understands. Fan Liangji, Han Bai and Jing Cheng Leng stayed, while the others went to "sing drunk and sing". Surrounded by all the girls, Fan Hanjing and the three followed Liu Niang to the house they entered later. Illuminated by colored lights, the surroundings were peaceful and tidy, and the flowers and trees were fragrant. There is a maid at the back of the door to greet you, hand over a hot towel, and wait carefully. After passing through a courtyard gate and arriving at a hall, Liu Niang first asked the maidservant away, and then led the three of them to a gorgeously furnished upper room on the second floor, pointing to two small buildings separated from this building by a small garden. Corridor: "This is the boudoir of Xiaohong and Dahong, two of the most popular girls in our house. They will spend the night here later." He also detailed the layout of the two small buildings and the number of maidservants. The three kept it in their hearts. Jing Cheng coldly said to the women and Liu Niang behind him: "We will touch the acupoints of everyone later, and you can wake up on your own tomorrow. You will only feel a little tired, please don't take it for granted." Liu Niang said with a charming smile: "We can climb up to you nobles, what's the matter if we sleep?" Pulling Han Bai and saying: "Anyway, we have to wait, son, come and talk to the servants about your thoughts! It's also good to deceive people's eyes and ears. .” Han Bai was overjoyed, elbowed Fan Liangji, gave him a warm wink, and then went to the next room. Jing Cheng laughed coldly, nodded and said: "Well said! It's just deceiving people." He also dragged two of the girls away. The remaining three girls rushed forward and looked at Fan Liangji who was blushing. The old thief hurriedly took out all the ingots on his body, put them on the stage and solemnly declared: "If you guys can keep me loyal to my virtuous wife, this wealth will belong to you all." The three girls froze for a moment, then cheered and went to share the money. Fan Liangji heaved a sigh of relief and asked him to betray Yun Qing, even if she didn't know about it, she couldn't imagine him doing it. Leaning against the window sill, looking through the two small buildings of the target, he thought to himself that this kid Chen Xuan has a heavy responsibility, even though he wants to be a companion, he is a person who seeks pleasure and pleasure, as long as he moves for profit, even if he will not give in. After watching for a while, I saw more than a dozen big men passing through the small enclosure and walking towards the two small buildings. Fan Liangji secretly laughed in his heart, with you low hands, I wouldn't know if I walked by in front of you. The sound of laughter came, and I saw Chen Xuan and Qu Xianzhou each hugging a beauty, talking and laughing, walking towards the small building along the corridor beside the garden. A smile appeared on the corner of Fan Liangji's mouth, and he said to Han Bai via sound transmission: "Xiao Bai'er is about to finish work, the master is here."
