Chapter 20 Chapter Six 1

--one-- There is a small hole the size of a copper coin in the window paper, through which the bright winter sunlight shines into the room, casting a round shadow that is four or five times enlarged.Watching the shadow of the sun move from the top of the kang to the corner of the kang, and climb up the east wall from the corner of the kang; watching it change from bright yellow to golden, and from golden to light red, Menggu was restless and more and more afraid, and her mind flashed again and again. A shudder: her husband is coming back! In the East Wing there was a lot of chatter and laughter, probably due to card fighting; in the West Wing there were crying and cursing, there must be another quarrel.They ignored Meng Gu, the "prime palace", and Meng Gu didn't dare to provoke these "concubines".

In the spring, the white-clothed Taoist master and apprentice revealed their identities, and made an alliance with Qiao Bainian to plan great things together.With the help of his brother, Zhu Cizhao stopped beating Menggu after a few days of her birthday.But my elder brother went to the capital for the Shuntian Township Examination in May, and Menggu immediately fell into trouble again.Needless to say Zhu Cizhao reverted to her old ways, even the women who lived in the East and West Wings also bullied her together.Things in the family have always been like this: there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate.Since Meng Gu couldn't restrain them with the majesty and grandeur of the main house, they would of course try to dominate them, and in turn restrain her. Who told her to be so docile, kind, weak and deceitful?In addition to the little Taoist nun from Huanxiuguan who talked about her past friendship, when will the other women not be scolded, ridiculed and ridiculed by Menggu endlessly?

After his elder brother left, Zhu Cizhen did not allow Mrs. Qiao to enter the backyard, but allowed Rong Gu to come and keep her sister company from time to time.Aunt Rong was only twelve years old, she was not sensible, her elder sister dared not say anything to her.But that day when Meng Gu was brushing her body, Rong Gu broke in suddenly, and saw scary red and purple scars on her sister's arms, thighs, chest, back, belly, and nipples at a glance. The little girl screamed in fright and turned her head away. About to run, Meng Gu hurriedly called to her: "Little sister!" Rong Gu was stunned, rushed over and hugged her sister's bruised body, weeping bitterly, cursing her brother-in-law as inhuman.Menggu was terrified, and never dared to let her sister enter the backyard again.This little bit of family affection was also severed, it is not an exaggeration to say that Meng Gu is in a living hell.How could she be lively after being tortured so much?

Brother, where have you been?Seeing that La is dying, why don't you come back? The round shadow of the sun was reflected on the east wall, and the red became a little darker, and it moved up half an inch. Meng Gu stared at Sun Shadow, the chill in her heart spread to her whole body.Three days ago, Zhu Cizhao went out with the Taoist priest in white and said that he would be back before sunset today.In the past three days, Menggu seemed to be dreaming, dreaming that she was back when she was a child, during the Chinese New Year.These three days, like the New Year's Eve when I was a child, passed quickly.She will be dragged back to the dark pit full of poisonous needles, and every minute the sun shadow moves, she will be dragged a step closer... The edge of the sun shadow is blurred, but it is redder, red like blood, Like the blood dripping from Menggu's wound...Menggu's eyes widened in horror, and she trembled all over: Could it be that this evil shadow of the sun is dragging her and throwing her back into the terrible abyss? ... Menggu jumped up suddenly, rushed to the bed cabinet, took out a small hammer and a handful of nails from under the cabinet, jumped onto the kang, aimed at the center of the sun shadow, and smashed the nails in desperately, smashed in! "Boom boom boom boom"!She smashed hastily, and smashed into a row of spikes, she wanted to nail the sun shadow to the wall so that it would not move!Let that terrible moment never come! ... No, she couldn't do it, the shadow of the sun moved up again! ... Menggu threw down the hammer angrily, rushed to the window, and with a "chi", she tore off a piece of her skirt, stuck it to the hole in the window paper, and covered it tightly with both hands!She doesn't want to see that moving blood spot again, she can't stand this merciless torture! ... "Crack--squeak--" The door of the main room rang softly, and Meng Gu was startled, a piece of her skirt fell onto the kang, she shrank back and listened carefully: someone was slowly walking towards her east room with heavy steps .It should be known that Zhu Cizhao always wanted all women to kneel at the courtyard gate to meet them.

Who is this?Menggu got off the kang in doubt. The door curtain was lifted quietly, and it was him standing there, Menggu's husband, the "master" of the large group of people here, and the third prince Zhu Cizhao.However, the usual arrogance, nobility, cruelty, and gloomyness are gone now.He was as tired as a thatched hut that was about to collapse, his puffy cheeks and the corners of his eyes drooped down, his face was frighteningly pale, and he looked at Menggu dejectedly, as if he hadn't seen anything. Menggu didn't dare to look at him, she just kept busy: setting the kang table, serving assorted wine and vegetables, boiling wine, tasting tea, then went out of the house with her head down, and asked the "concubines" in the east and west rooms to accompany the wine and wait on him--this is the daily rule.Unexpectedly, Zhu Cizhao let out a piercing scream: "No! No! --Don't call them! They're all unreliable, unreliable! --" Menggu stepped back a few steps, just leaning on the edge of the kang and standing still, Zhu Cizhao rushed over, " "Plop" knelt down at her feet, hugged her legs tightly, and cried out loudly: "Don't leave me! Don't leave me alone! Please, please!... I'm done! It's all over !..." Zhu Cizhao burst into tears, and hit his head on the ground with a "boom boom".

Meng Gu's heart was beating wildly with fright, and amidst the usual fear and loathing, there was a tinge of pity.She didn't dare to move her body, but timidly tugged at Zhu Cizhen's sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, get up. Sit down." At this moment, Zhu Cizhen was like a beaten child, wiping his nose and tears, and sobbing again next to the kang table. After a while, he even started talking endlessly to Meng Gu, who he never looked down upon: Three days ago, he went to Dushan together with Taoist in white.In Dushan, there is a green forest despot known as 5,000 horses, responding to Yongli Nanming, willing to be recruited, cavalry to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and restore the Han family.Zhu Ciyi was still pretending to be the king of Yangqu County, and went to seal the officials and award the cherry blossoms. This trip was the first time he publicly appeared as a prince, so he was very excited, and it seemed that he would see the sun again and be arrogant.However, when you enter the mountain, you can see that there are less than 800 people and horses, all of whom are rusted on horses; the so-called heroes are full of gangsters and frightening.On the first day, the leader was very polite to them, entertained them with a feast, and explained repeatedly that because the Tartar court issued a decree to exempt wasteland from taxation, four thousand people were seduced and ran away. Although the remaining people were few, they were all elite soldiers Will, there is a lot to do.The next day, when the prince appointed the official and issued the seal, the heroes did not speak well.Although the "righteous men" who received the Tongying wooden seal and the commissioner's letter also thanked the emperor for his kindness, they kept mentioning the two terrible things of reward and military salary.The little gold, silver and jewels that Zhu Cizhao brought with him are just like a drop in a bucket, and if it does not help, it will only provoke the ridicule of heroes.The leaders looked unkind, and immediately turned cold towards Zhu Cizhao and the white-clothed Taoist. They were placed in the small courtyard behind the cottage that night, and they were not even assigned to serve the servants.In the early morning of the third day, Zhu Cizhao and the Taoist in white were eager to save the situation. They got up early and were stunned as soon as they turned the hillside: the village was empty, there were no horses or pawns, and the fences at the gate of the village were completely burned. Into the ruins of barren mountains.The two of them didn't know what was going on and fled in a hurry.

After leaving the mountain, I learned from hearsay that the 800 troops in Dushan had been recruited by the imperial court.These heroes did not tie them to ask for credit, it is considered as a great loyalty and nostalgia for the Ming court! ...After talking about it, Zhu Cizhen was hoarse, and he couldn't catch his breath: "The soldiers and horses on Yangcheng Mountain were recruited last year... There were thousands of people in Linshan, and they all dispersed this spring...Only Dushan A branch with a strong man and a strong horse, the most powerful, and the one that has always placed high hopes, but it disappeared overnight!... Ah, what do I rely on to restore my ancestral business?

Is there still a day to ascend the Dragon Throne? ...It's over!It's all over! ..." He fell down on the kang table weakly, and knocked over a few wine glasses. A small silver cup rolled to the ground, and there was a "jingle", which was clear and pleasant. "Ah, wine!..." Zhu Cizhao lifted himself up, and smiled miserably, "Drink! Drink!..." He yelled, grabbed the wine pot, grabbed the wine glass, poured himself a drink, and poured a drink, as if This is not wine but water, and a dozen glasses were poured down in a short while.His face turned red, his eyes slanted, and he raised his neck and murmured inarticulately: "Everything--it's better--the cup is in hand, and life is rare--the moon is the head! Haha, haha, hahahaha!... Do you know?" ? This is my uncle...Hongguang's poem, how thorough is it?...He has been in the world for two years, and the emperor's blessings, he has enjoyed it all!...What about me?...What about me?..."

Menggu's face turned pale, and she wanted to take the opportunity to retreat, because usually when Zhu Cizhen chanted these two lines of poems and mentioned Emperor Hongguang, he would immediately beat her, scold her, torture her, and trample her. "Don't go!" Zhu Cizhao yelled, her blood-red eyes gleamed with animal cruelty, she stared at Meng Gu, who shivered towards the corner of the wall. "You want to slip away too?...You also want to leave me behind and be recruited?...I can't spare you!" He approached Menggu, kicking Menggu's leg twice while he was hugging and crying bitterly. The aunt's knees were sore and she fell to her knees.He grabbed Menggu's front lapel again, bowed left and right, and slapped more than a dozen slaps.Meng Gu's cheeks suddenly swelled up.Zhu Cizhen smiled viciously with a distorted face: "You are only so fat that you have a bit of a beauty!" The half-drunk Zhu Cizhen was so powerful that he picked up the thin Menggu and threw him onto the kang, and then he was like a hungry wolf. pounce on.Menggu was so painful that the veins all over her body were tightening and convulsing, and her blood seemed to be congealed. reduce.He originally wanted to listen to the woman's screams and pleadings, so that he would feel that he was a strong man, a majestic and noble conqueror, and he would be able to seek some psychological satisfaction and obtain a temporary spiritual balance.But this woman, who is so beautiful on the outside, is a lump of ice lumps inside!No matter how violent he was, she just kept silent, endured it coldly, without any reaction, she simply ignored him, maybe she didn't treat him as a human being? ... But he, Zhu Cizhao, is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, the prince!If it weren't for this hateful world, these people who deserve to be killed, he would have already ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, the number one person in the world! ... Seeing Menggu lying motionless in the corner of the kang, Zhu Cizhen burst into a rage again as usual, jumped onto the kang, kicked, beat, and pinched Menggu, cursing bitterly: "Are you a dead person? Why don't you die! You ice woman! Ice woman! Ice woman!..." Meng Gu gritted her teeth, closed her eyes tightly, and let him beat her.She has only one wish in her heart: die!Kill me, and I'll be fine..."Sister! Sister!" Aunt Rong's crisp voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard, happily and intentionally loudly shouting: "Guess who's back?" Zhu Cizhen stopped, A bright light of excitement flashed across his eyes, and he smiled crookedly again, wanting to get off the kang.Seeing his smile, Menggu felt a chill in her heart. She jumped up without knowing where the strength came from, and suddenly grabbed Zhu Cizhao's leg, gritted her teeth and said, "You can't...she's still a child!..." Zhu Cizhao bowed her head Sneered, with complacency in his coldness: "Hmph, are you tempted now?" Then he kicked Menggu away and shouted: "Little sister, come inside!" Menggu shouted desperately: "Little sister, you Don't..." Zhu Cizhao punched her hard in the face, knocking out the rest of the words.

The door curtain was lifted, Rong Gu jumped into the room, Zhu Cizhao jumped out from the door, hugged her by the waist, pressed her on the edge of the kang, and tore her clothes.Aunt Rong was so frightened that she cried and cursed, kicked and beat her.Enduring the pain all over her body, Menggu rushed over to drag her husband to rescue her sister.But Zhu Cizhen didn't care about it, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were twitching violently. He yelled like crazy: "My uncle Hongguang, who can kill two young girls in one night, I'm not as good as him?...Ah!" He screamed , because Aunt Rong bit his hand hard.

"Stop!" Almost at the same time, a loud roar shook the roof beams, a big hand grabbed Zhu Cizhao by the back of the collar, lifted him up, and slammed him into the chair. "Brother!" Menggu and Ronggu yelled in unison, and Ronggu immediately rushed to the side of the tower-like brother, crying loudly. "You!" Qiao Bainian stared at Zhu Cizhao with wide-eyed tiger eyes, gasping for air like a bellows, and his anger made his expression terrifying.Zhu Cizhao shrank into a ball in fright, trembling.But the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers finally made Qiao Bainian suppress his anger. How dare he use his ministers to offend the emperor?He frowned, bowed, and said, "My lord, Qiao Bainian is back." Zhu Cizhao also quickly put on his identity, stretched his arms and legs on the back of the chair in a big way, and drew out his voice: "Oh -- it's you, just came back? I haven't seen you for a while." Qiao Bainian's eyes flashed angrily, but he held back again: "My lord, in dealing with people, there must be no excess." Zhu Cizhao raised his eyebrows: "There is no excess." Huh? Sisters working together with one king is a good story through the ages!" Qiao Bainian raised his head sharply, his eyes were burning under his thick eyebrows, and his face flushed purple: "She is only twelve years old, and she is still a child!" Zhu Cizhen raised her head and smiled: "Here, you I don’t understand. Our ancestors paid attention to choosing young girls to serve in the palace, which is called collecting yin and nourishing yang. What year don’t we choose two or three hundred! Only eight to twelve years old. Speaking of it, Aunt Rong still thinks it’s too old It's gone!..." Qiao Bainian was so angry that he really wanted to slap Zhu Cizhao's shamelessly proud smile twice!Didn't the great country of the former Ming Dynasty be ruined because of generations of emperors who were shameless, fatuous and corrupt? ...He restrained himself desperately, pulled Aunt Rong, opened the curtain, and yelled: "Go!" The moment he went out, Aunt Rong turned her head and cried sadly: "Sister! --" Qiao Bainian hurriedly When we stepped out of the gate of Huanxiu Temple, the moon had already risen.He was in a hurry: he must immediately find the Taoist in white and find out what happened! Just now he came to the temple angrily, in order to find reason with the Taoist in white.Zhu Cizhao is incompetent and deceiving too much, if the Taoist in white, the "emperor teacher", doesn't teach him a lesson, Qiao Bainian would rather not be a relative of the state, and have to go to another sect!Besides, he just came back from the south, and he had to discuss many important matters with this old man.Unexpectedly, the Taoist in white was not in the audience.The master of the temple, Daoist Yuan, told him worriedly: This afternoon, the master and apprentice of the white-clothed Taoist returned to the village from the official seal of Dushan.When the old Taoist returned to the temple, he didn't mention Dushan, but kept drinking. First, he asked Aunt Yuan to drink with him, but Aunt Yuan couldn't drink a few cups; Then he dragged the cripple who was guarding the gate, and he felt that he couldn't enjoy drinking, so he simply went out of the temple with a big wine gourd on his back and a wine glass in his hand.Afraid that something might happen to him, Daoist Yuan also followed him out of Guanmen, and when she saw someone he met on the road, she stopped them to drink with him.Daoist Yuan had no choice but to look back.The Taoist in white has wandered off to nowhere. Looking at the situation, could it be that something happened to Dushan?It took Qiao Bainian a lot of effort to win over Dushan's team, and they were so desperate, how could he not be in a hurry!But where to find the Taoist in white?Qiao Bainian stopped and looked around, the moonlight was like water, reflecting the speckled snow, it was extremely deserted, everything was silent, how could there be any shadows or voices? Under the banner of the distant mountain, someone suddenly called: a long whistle, a wild song, heard from a distance at night, very clear.Qiao Bainian followed the sound and ran to him, he was indeed a Taoist in white! He was sitting on a large bluestone, staggering drunk, with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair, and was drinking with a wine gourd. "Sir, stop drinking!" Qiao Bainian went up to grab the wine gourd, but the Taoist in white pushed him away.So much strength!Qiao Bainian was very surprised and couldn't help but look at him carefully.He didn't seem to recognize Qiao Bainian, and he didn't even pay attention to the person in front of him. After gulping down two gulps, he wiped his mouth and laughed loudly. Unceasingly, the pitch of the voice became higher and higher, and the hoarseness of the voice became more and more hoarse. It couldn't go up, and suddenly fell down, sobbing and crying. Qiao Bainian pushed him quickly: "Sir, why are you so drunk!...I am Qiao Bainian, I just came back from the south!" The Taoist in white smiled and said with tears: "Not drunk! I am not drunk at all! Bai Nian Brother, I recognize you, come, drink three more cups with me!..." Qiao Bainian said: "You still say you are not drunk, how can you bark like a dog!" The Taoist in white shook his head: "Tell you, I am drunk to death, and my heart I'm not confused. As for learning how to bark like a dog, I'm always drunk, and I just do it for myself and refuse to be humane! The reason is sad to say. For many years, I have never refused to reveal the truth. Now, there is nothing wrong with it. What are you talking about?...I want to tell you what’s on my mind, I’m so choked up, I’m so choked up!” He grabbed his chest and smiled desolately, which made Qiao Bainian’s heart ache, and comforted him: “Sir, I have something to say. Even though you don't know what kind of person I am, Qiao Bainian!" The old man shook his head sadly, looking up at the bright moon with his dim eyes, and remained silent for a long time.Qiao Bainian reminded in a low voice: "Sir, what do you want to say?" "Yes, I want to say..." He seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, his waist was bent, and he said slowly Going down: "When the Tatars went south and broke through the county, I, as a county guard, went to die generously. I was obliged to lead my wife, concubines, and family members to declare to the world, worship the king in the north, and then calmly hanged. My wife was pregnant. The fetus was aborted in Liang, and one dog in the family refused to let it go. The neighbor's dog fought to eat the fetus, and my dog ​​fought and killed it. Four dogs were bitten to death one after another, and my dog ​​died from exhaustion... The whole family Twenty-six men and women, together with the abortion and my dog ​​died, I was the only one who lived alone with the rope cut off and passed out... Every time I think of this, my heart hurts like a twist, and the dog barks when I am drunk. If I can't exorcise the Manchus and achieve recovery, how can I deal with the twenty-six people who died in the room?..." The Taoist in white was full of tears, choked and couldn't continue. Qiao Bainian hurriedly rubbed his chest and beat his back for him, gnashed his teeth and said: "Many captives entered the customs, destroyed my country, killed my people, occupied my land, raped my wife and daughter, and the pain of subjugation is always in my heart. The so-called common anger between man and God is true! There is no need to be so miserable, driving away the barbarians and trying to recover, we need to work hard!" The white-clothed Taoist looked up to the sky and sighed: "No hope! The situation is over, and the fate will kill him, so why die and pursue the twenty-six righteous people of my family!  … "He covered his face and wept bitterly. Qiao Bainian's heart sank: "What did you say? Could it be that Dushan..." The white-clothed Taoist shook his head and said, "Eight thousand soldiers were blown away in one night; People and horses!..." He described in detail how the soldiers and horses in Dushan, Linshan, and Yangchengshan escaped and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.Qiao Bainian heard his hands and feet were cold, his back felt cold, he slammed the bluestone, and shouted: "This can't be done! I don't believe it!" The Taoist in white looked at Qiao Bainian with dull eyes, and said sadly: "If you don't believe me, it's up to you... I remember ten years ago, when the Tatars first entered the Central Plains, Jin Shenghuan, the general of Jiangxi, and Jiang Yu, the general of Datong, rebelled. That's called a hundred responses, all rebellion within ten days! At that time, not only the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty called for it, but also Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong fought against the Qing everywhere, and some were forced to be slaves because of encroachment, escape, and persecution. , The countless refugees who led each other into robbers, it was the time when the world was in chaos and people were killing people like hemp, and it was a great catastrophe for three hundred years!...It's a pity that this time is gone and will never return!..." The white-clothed Taoist under the moon was not drunk, his madness was completely suppressed, and he calmed down, but he was depressed and desperate, lying weakly on the big bluestone like a dying white fish, with the calm confidence and unfathomable wisdom of the past. , The daunting vigor, all disappeared at this time.Qiao Bainian couldn't help asking: "Could it be that you..." The Taoist in white didn't seem to hear it, and he went on talking to himself: "If you talk about the general trend of the world, it is the normal state of things that the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term unity must be united; After the catastrophe, it is common sense that people's minds will be settled. For ten years, the Tartar court has recognized this principle and used it together to suppress and pacify all parties. Rewarding land reclamation, reusing former ministers of the Ming Dynasty, recruiting scholars through open examinations, and strictly prohibiting abuses in the examination halls, all these measures are in line with the people's will, what else can you and I do?..." Qiao Bainian was not easily overwhelmed, and soon recovered his usual masculine spirit: "Sir, don't be discouraged! My Yongli Dynasty and the surname of the country are both powerful and powerful. After I failed the provincial examination, I went to Nanjing and found someone from the Yongli court. There was an order from the emperor, King Qin, to ask all the rebels to respond when the Tartars invaded Yunnan and Guizhou. I heard that Lord Guoxing was the first to accept the order! As long as the soldiers of King Qin from all over If you do it, you may not be able to reopen the situation!..." "Dream!" The Taoist in white sneered, "If the Yongli Dynasty really has a big momentum, there is no need to order the kings of all walks of life! Dushan, Linshan, and Yangchengshan have soldiers and horses like this , other places can be imagined. As for Zheng Chenggong, to be honest, the old man never believed deeply, how could he know that he has no self-reliance?...Now you and I are weak, and we are already at a loss! Alas!..." Qiao Bainian Unlocking his bosom, he took out a large stack of silk and paper slips, on which were the titles of appointing chief soldier, deputy general, general, etc., as well as the year number of Yongli and the red seal; The silver seal and a big yellow flag, said: "Sir, please look, these are all newly issued by the imperial court. It is just time to invite sages to gather troops, as a call..." The Taoist in white picked up the silver seal and weighed it in his hand, saying: "Only this one is worth a few taels of silver, those are all useless! Waste!" He raised his hand, and waved all the seals and letters that Qiao Bainian held out to the ground. "You!" Qiao Bainian really didn't know whether the old man was drunk or sober.Listening to him talk about the general situation of the world and his own experience, it is clear and clear; but seeing his expression and behavior, he always looks like a drunk.When he leaned over to pick up the seal, he was also discouraged by the old saying: "Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Right now, we only rely on the word of loyalty... Huh, no reward, no silver, who is willing to sacrifice his life?" Silence a long time.Qiao Bainian suddenly grabbed the wine gourd and drank a few swigs, wiped his beard, and said, "Is there no treasure around you?" The white-clothed Taoist thought for a moment, and said quietly: "If you want to wash your hands and quit, you can naturally take it. Go sell it to support your family; if you still don't give up, you can live in rare goods, and you can't move at all!" "Ah?" Qiao Bainian was very surprised: "Could it be that the third prince is fake?" The Taoist in white smiled bitterly: "Why ask him if he is true or not? It's just the signboard of the third prince Zhu!" "In that case," Qiao Bainian raised his voice and said bitterly, "This man is too great to be a king!" The Taoist in white said flatly, "It's not just this man! They are the descendants of the Zhu family, Which one is not arrogant, fatuous, unbearable to be a king! As long as there are a few little emperors in the court of the Tartars, how can the world get to this situation!" "You?..." Qiao Bainian widened his eyes. "I have already talked about this, so why hide it from you. I am a Jinshi of Chongzhen Renzi. I have lived in the four dynasties of Chongzhen, Hongguang, Longwu, and Yongli. I have seen that everything in each dynasty is corrupt and corrupt everywhere. There is no way out, you are at the end of your life!..." "Then, you don't want to regain your sight?" Qiao Bainian asked sharply. "How should I put it? I am also surnamed Zhu, but I am not of the royal family. As the saying goes, the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year; and it is also said that heroes come out of troubled times. Zheng Chenggong can be self-reliant, but I can't be self-reliant? ... Alas, this is all earlier. Thoughts, now the aspirations have gone with the flowing water, and I will live in seclusion in the mountains in the future, and spend the rest of my life with poetry and wine!..." The Taoist in white was drunk again, giggling, and put his arms around Qiao Bainian's shoulders.However, the Taoist's words shocked Qiao Bainian like a stone breaking the sky!His mind was like thunder and lightning, countless thoughts flashed through him in an instant, and he felt infinite emotions, as if he suddenly jumped from a swift and narrow stream into a majestic and magnificent river, his mind suddenly opened up.A fire was burning in his eyes, bright and scorching. He stretched out his hand to pat the Taoist man in white, and said, "Sir, what you said made me suddenly enlightened! Since you are willing to be open and honest, Bai Nian will never let you down! Although the current situation is difficult, how can a man endure humiliation?" Stealing life! You and I are in the same boat, and we can always achieve something!" "You, there is still a way out?" The Taoist in white squinted at Qiao Bainian with bloodshot eyes. "At the beginning, when I contacted righteous men from all over the country, besides the three places in Dushan, there were also a few small groups of people. I wanted to make an appointment to start a new campaign. As long as the plan is right, I can send a surprise army to advance and retreat quickly, and break through the county. Isn’t the treasury ours? If we have money and food, we still have no one to worry about?” “Oh?” The Taoist in white’s eyes suddenly lit up, and then converged into a sharp light like an eagle of prey.He didn't say anything more, but straightened up suddenly, jumped off the bluestone, leaned over and carefully collected the seals and stamps that he swung to the ground.Qiao Bainian looked at him and said meaningfully: "These trash can still help you and me!" for the first time.Qiao Bainian sighed secretly: "This person is true and false, false and true, just like old Lin Juze, dazzling and unpredictable, and he can never figure it out!..." But he understood that they must cooperate.So he looked squarely at the Taoist in white, and said in a serious tone: "There is something, sir, please do it." "As long as I can do it." "Give me a letter of divorce from Aunt Meng!" "Oh, this... new Just after the incident!" "Okay, it's settled." A few days later, more than a dozen outsiders came to Malan Village, riding horses, followed by mules, and the mules were full of stuff.They are all strong and strong, very airy.What is eye-catching is that they also carry bows and arrows on their backs, and treasured swords hanging from their waists.Some said it was a group of wealthy businessmen who passed by Malan Village to visit Qiao Bainian; their eyeliner. For a while there were many discussions in Malan Village, but no one dared to say anything unpleasant outside.Qiao Bo Nian is rich and generous, and he is seasoned and humane, who dares to make trouble?
