White Moonlight is Not Easy To Do - Chapter 268

Sima Xuan revealed his identity, and the prefect of Yangzhou welcomed them into the prefect’s office. At this time, the assassination of the prince by these assassins is definitely not a trivial matter. The incident has already reached the stage, and they can no longer hide their identities and quietly investigate. The prefect of Yangzhou sent all the assassins who did not escape to the prefecture.

After resting for a while in a courtyard of the mansion, the sky was bright.

At this time, Yingchun, who used too much infuriating energy, has also recovered 80% of his breath.

She opened her eyes, exhaled a big mouthful of turbid breath, and her pale face had turned a little rosy.

Sima Xuan sat in front of her, staring at her without blinking.

“Yu Lang, don’t you rest?”

Sima Xuan said, “You dare to kill people indiscriminately.”

Yingchun said: “I don’t like killing people, but I have to kill when necessary, and I won’t feel ashamed.”

“You’re not afraid either.”

“I’m long past the time when killing people is a nightmare.”

Sima Xuan sighed, “Why are you acting like this? Don’t you believe me?”

Yingchun said: “I don’t believe you, I just want to help you.”

Sima Xuan said: “I don’t need you to help me like this, and I don’t want my woman to be stained with blood. Even if it is a wicked person who must die, I will handle it myself, and I don’t need you to be so brave. If you continue like this, one day, you will only be I’m afraid it will fail.”

Yingchun said: “No, don’t worry, I am well-versed in medical science, and I will do it when I am sure. I am not stupid.”

Just as he was talking, he heard Pan Youan’s report, saying that Li Shuo, the Marquis of Dingbei, came to greet him. Sima Xuan had been to Liaodong before, where he rewarded the three armies on behalf of the emperor, and went to Beijing with Dingbeihou and other heroes to offer prisoners, so he and Dingbeihou also knew each other well and admired this peer very much. Sima Xuan also knew that the emperor Sima Ye also admired him, and once said that he was the champion of the dynasty.

Li Shuo’s ancestral home is Jiangdu County, which is Yangzhou. Earlier, he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and search for relatives, but he has not yet returned to Beijing.

When Yingchun heard that the Duke of Dingbei was coming, he couldn’t help but ask: “This time you are here to handle the case, did the Duke of Dingbei also come?”

After Yingchun crossed over, he never revealed the secrets of the Red Mansions, so as not to bring disaster to himself and Sima Xuan, and Sima Xuan would not mention another young man to Yingchun when he was fine.

Sima Xuan said: “Li Shuo’s ancestral home in Yangzhou is of humble origin. He was sent to Liaodong in the past, and he returned to his hometown to find relatives. The emperor sent me to Jiangnan at this time. If I need it, I can ask him to help me. Soldiers are good players. With his previous background, he has absolutely nothing to do with these intertwined forces in Yangzhou, and with his unfortunate things in the past, he can only hate these people. “

Yingchun nodded and said: “The emperor’s move is not bad. He gently dispatched two important ministers to come over. It seems that the emperor will not give up on the abuse of Huaiyang and Jiangnan. The life and death of the dynasty are at stake, and the emperor can’t tolerate the emperor’s mercy.”

The emperor pushed the boat forward and allowed Li Shuo to come to the south of the Yangtze River to worship his ancestors. Everyone thought that he was just returning home and looking for relatives, and no one would pay attention. Then he secretly sent Sima Xuan out of Beijing, and the two of them cooperated, and their strength was much greater.

Sima Xuan said: “But we still leaked the news when we came to Yangzhou.”

Yingchun stood up from the couch and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s go see the Duke of Dingbei.”

Ling Fei has never been a pure love heroine, but she is very fond of a man who loves Daiyu and is single-minded.

Sima Xuan’s face was radiant as soon as she heard Ding Beihou, there was always a young girl’s heart sprouting, and men were still very sensitive to their women. It’s like when a girl gets excited when she sees the boy she has a crush on with other beautiful girls, the girl who has a crush on the girl feels unhappy.

Sima Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, “You stay in the room.”

Yingchun said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Nianxuan, why is he a foreigner…”

Yingchun said: “I have seen many foreign men before, and I am still the leader of foreign men.”

Yingchun hugged his arm again and acted softly, before he gave in.

…

“See the lord!”

“Exemption.”

Sima Xuan took Yingchun into the Xiaohua Hall to take a seat, and also let Li Shuo take a seat.

Sima Xuan said again: “This is the wife Jia.”

Li Shuo hurriedly got up and saluted again: “I see you as a princess!”

Li Shuo went south in March. He only knew that Sima Xuan was married, but he didn’t know who his princess was.

When Yingchun saw such a handsome, sunny and heroic guy, the original owner in the fantasy realm had only seen it from a distance, and did not dare to look closely. Moreover, it was many years later, and it was always less youthful and more calm. He took care of Daiyu very well, and Daiyu lived a very relieved life later, and looked more like a fairy.

“Marquis Dingbei doesn’t need to be polite, please take a seat.”

After Li Shuo was seated, he asked about Sima Xuan’s accident yesterday, and Sima Xuan said, “We’re okay, we’re just worried that the Cao Gang will fail. This time, the emperor sent me to thoroughly investigate the major tax fraud cases in the south of the Yangtze River. Thinking that we have long been under the eyes of people.”

Li Shuo said: “Xiaguan has also received a secret order from the Holy High, and everything will be guided by the king’s horse. If the king sends you, the lower official will definitely go through fire and water, and he will not quit.”

Sima Xuan said, “How many people do you have? Are you reliable?”

Li Shuo said: “I only brought 20 personal soldiers from Liaodong. These people are reliable in a short time. But this place of fireworks in Yangzhou has passed by for a long time, and I can’t guarantee it.”

Sima Xuan said: “Okay! You will go to the helm of the Cao Gang immediately. If it’s too late, I’m afraid that the other party will kill you and all the evidence in the ledger will be destroyed.”

Yingchun thought for a while and said, “Slow!”

Sima Xuan said, “Madam, what’s the matter?”

Yingchun thought for a while and said: “My lord, I’m afraid that even if we get the evidence and witnesses, Jiangsu officials will be involved in six or seven cases. Once the dog jumps over the wall, the best way is to fish in the water, which will definitely cause chaos. At that time, they will take a bite of the ginseng. Going to the emperor, he framed us for killing innocent people indiscriminately and causing civil unrest. At that time, the court will be the main thing, let you be dismissed and the people’s hearts will be stabilized. This Jinling Jiedu envoy has a lot of troops, but the officers and soldiers below are all kings in a pool. , relatives and relatives are old and intertwined, I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Li Shuo thought for a while and said, “My lord, what the princess said is very true.”

Sima Xuan got up, took two steps, and said, “Let Ziqian go to Zhejiang to transfer troops.”

Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are adjacent to each other, the interest circles of different provinces are different, and they will not control each other. If soldiers from other provinces come, the officers and soldiers will not take the risk of disobeying the orders of the imperial commission to protect this group of corrupt officials. The military attachés also have the heart to make meritorious deeds. As long as their own lives are not at stake, they will listen to them. Although Anqing is closer to Li, Yangzhou salt merchants are actually Hui merchants. Huai and Yang are not separated, and the risks are higher.

Yingchun said, “Then I’m afraid Lord Song won’t be able to come back alive. Your Highness, let me go.”

Sima Xuan said: “What are you kidding me, give me a good life and a good injury.”

Yingchun smiled and said: “Then let the Duke of Dingbei go, I’ll go to Caobang to see, your lord, you are in charge in Yangzhou. I’m afraid that tomorrow, officials at all levels will surround the lord, and you just happen to see who is so guilty. Last night You can also ask the Zhen family how to explain it.”

Sima Xuan said, “Let Song Qian go to the Cao Gang, don’t get involved.”

“Master Song does not know martial arts. If he encounters an assassin, he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with it. Don’t worry, even if I can’t find the evidence of the Cao Gang, I will be able to come back alive if I am good at it. It is better to go to Huai’an than to go to Zhejiang. Don’t have to run around like that, I don’t know the rules of the army as well as General Li, so naturally it is more suitable for him to transfer troops.”

Sima Xuan thought about it for a while, and said, “General Li, you will take the gold medal to Zhejia to transfer troops, and you don’t have to worry about other things.”

Li Shuo thought about it and said, “I’ll leave a few personal guards down to assist the prince.”

Sima Xuan thought that there might be spies among the eighteen warriors he brought, so he nodded and said, “General Li be careful all the way.”

After Li Shuo resigned, he immediately set off for Zhejiang. He was very skilled, experienced, and possessed a powerful weapon. Sima Xuan was not worried about him.

Yingchun said: “When General Li’s personal guard arrives, I will set off for Huaian immediately. You drag those officials in Yangzhou first, don’t let them jump over the wall so quickly.”

Sima Xuan said, “But you just got too lucky…”

“Don’t worry, I’m experienced and well-versed in medicine, so I’ll be fine. I can rest on board.”

…

Yingchun had lunch and rested for a while, when Li Shuo’s ten soldiers arrived.

All of them wore marching backpacks, fire guns and earthen grenades hanging from their waists, tall and sturdy, with bronze-colored skin.

They also knew Sima Xuan. Sima Xuan had seen the elite soldiers brought out by Li Shuo when he was patrolling the borders and rewarding the three armies on behalf of the new emperor. These personal guards also came to Beijing with Sima Xuan.

Yingchun is now dressed in bunt men’s clothing and has her legs tied with cloth to suit her journey.

Sima Xuan told Han Yong, the captain of the personal soldiers, to protect the princess, and the two sides said goodbye for now.

Yingchun, Han Yong and others took the fast horses that captured the Hu people from outside the customs and rushed to Huai’an, which also took a day and a night. At this time, Yingchun also found out that the Caobang helm of this world was located in Laozi Mountain, Wuwei Island, Hongze Lake, so he was relieved for the time being.

But thinking that most of these Caogang people live by the water, the waters of Hongze Lake are vast, covering 1,5600 square kilometers, and it is not easy for corrupt officials in Huaiyang to destroy their mouths. Even if the navy is mobilized, they cannot be wiped out in a short period of time. They are all people born on the lake. Even dragging the officers and troops to hide and seek in the lake will take several months. Leak a day.

These Jianghu gangs are only those who have to cooperate with the corrupt official group, not the core interest body. She is backed by the emperor. She can persuade the leader of the Cao Gang to cooperate with them and hand over the accounts of these years. Corrupt officials will never deny it.

They set off in the afternoon, took a boat to the north, and went ashore at 4:00 pm (8:00 p.m.) to camp and rest.

The scouts taught by Li Shuo also had a set when they were camping, so they quietly pulled a cordon off the surrounding areas where it was easy for Tibetans and pedestrians to hang out and hoisted the alarm bell. Then ten people formed groups of two and two, one group guarded for an hour and a half. , the others go to bed first.

Yingchun was the princess, so Han Yong and others naturally wouldn’t let her keep watch at night, so she hung a cloth rope between the two trees and slept on it. Seeing her such a kung fu, everyone understood why the lord let her go.

Fortunately, the journey was safe and we arrived at the waters of Jinhu Lake at noon on the third day.

In the afternoon, however, there was a sudden gust of wind and a sudden downpour.

Although Jinhu is narrow and long, it is relatively wide compared to Hongze Lake. For humans in emergency situations, it is very wide, and it takes time for ships to dock.

Han Yong and others hurriedly wrapped the guns and ammunition with oilcloth to prevent them from getting wet. Yingchun also thought to himself: the fire guns of this era also have the same drawback, that is, they are afraid of water, but there is water everywhere in Huaiyang.

Several huge waves came, and Kaz made a sound, and suddenly I heard the scorpion shout: “It’s not good! It’s leaking!”

Yingchun watched the water overflow the deck, and hurriedly shouted: “The ship is about to be destroyed! The ship is about to be destroyed! Quickly find a wooden body to protect yourself, and don’t be swept into the lake by the wind and waves!”

Said to welcome the spring back to the cabin, saw the table of the scorpion, and hurriedly fetched it. The other guards also broke down a few wooden boards. Although they are from the north, as Li Shuo’s scouts, swimming is a basic quality.

After a while, everyone fell into the water like dumplings.

With the raging storm water, one wave after another, Yingchun has also become a jerk. Originally, she was lying on the table with half of her body, but the table was soaked in water, and it was split into two pieces by her force.

“Princess!” Han Yong and the others rowed towards her desperately, but a wave covered them.

At this time, gathering and dispersing, life and death, everything is determined by nature, not her.

After nearly two hours of torrential rain, Han Yong and others did not know where to go, and Yingchun was also tired from the wind and waves.

Seeing the shore ahead, she hurriedly swam over and finally climbed to the shore. Once she lost its buoyancy on the shore, she felt that the modern backpack made of several layers of cotton on her back was as heavy as a tortoise shell.

Yingchun poured out the water, wrung out a few coats and cloth bags, and checked the tarpaulin bags, and found that most of the ammunition was still wasted, which was very heartache.

It was already dark, and when I looked back and forth, there seemed to be a house in front of me, but when I got closer, it was a ruined temple.

Yingchun lit a fire, took off the clothes and dried them. After drying the clothes and putting them on, he put out the fire and hid behind the statue, planning to take a seat and spend the night.

This night, I don’t know where I am, and I have nowhere to go to find something to eat.

Suddenly hearing footsteps, unlike Han Yong and others, Yingchun thought about it, went out from the back door of the ruined temple, and jumped up on the roof.

Yingchun just crouched down on the roof when he saw five figures entering the temple, Yingchun keenly smelled a **** aura.

An old man was injured in the lower abdomen, and was supported by a young man and a woman. There were two middle-aged men beside him, one dressed as a scholar, and the other looked like a fisherman.

The old man said, “Hurry up and leave me alone. I told you not to come to the temple.”

The pretty girl of sixteen or seventeen said, “Dad, stop talking, the wound is about to open again.”

The handsome young man in his twenties said, “Father, it was just raining heavily, and it was inconvenient for them to chase us. Now your injury is the most important thing.”

The old man said: “My life doesn’t matter, but yours does. Chen Su suddenly attacked, something must have happened, and someone wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge.”

The 16- or 17-year-old girl said angrily, “Those who hold office are not human beings! No matter if the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind prevails over the east wind, we are just earning some hard-earned money. Now if something happens, we have to cross the river and demolish the bridge.”

The old man said, “This is how things are in this world.”

The girl said, “Father, let me change your medicine.”

Yingchun was condescending, and seeing the bloodstain on the bandage after the old man lifted his clothes, the girl said, “Chen Su’s thief’s dagger will be bad if it is half a minute sooner.”

She sprinkled the old man with the golden medicine again, and the old man looked at the two middle-aged men and the handsome young man, and said, “Shaoqing, Zhao Si’er, and Zisheng, please go outside and check to see if there are any of our own. Brother came back, or is there any chasing troops.”

The handsome young man called “Shaoqing” said, “Dad, I’ll stay and take care of you.”

The old man said: “I have Xiuqing here. You go, if there is any danger, come back and take Xiuqing away, and I will die. You can go to Gaoyou to find your uncle.”

The three people said that they were leaving, and the footsteps were getting farther away. The girl named Xiuqing said, “Dad, how much are you doing to let your brother and them go?”

The old man said, “I can’t hide anything from you.”

This daughter, Xiuqing, was his favorite, even more than his son. Xiuqing can also identify the abnormal behavior of the old father, but Shaoqing has no such ability.

The old man said, “That Liu Zisheng is probably from Chen Su’s…”

Xiuqing was taken aback and said, “Daddy, I’m going to kill him!”

The old man said: “No!”

“why?”

The old man said: “You are usually smart, but are you stupid now? Regardless of whether you are his opponent or not, if you can really kill him, then Chen Su will kill him immediately. There is still such a long way to go to Gaoyou, we have to If they don’t get support, they will die under their swords. Chen Su and Liu Zisheng are not doing anything now, just because they haven’t got what they want.”

Xiuqing nodded and said, “Dad, I understand.”

“Come over here.”

Xiuqing listened to her words, and the old man said lightly: “Your mother is a celestial being. I will bury her there after her death. We will go to worship every year. There are several ancient tombs on the only way to worship your mother. There is an ancient tomb with a half-shattered tombstone. The tomb with the words ‘The Tomb of the Father and Grandfather Yuanxing’ is written on it. This is what they are looking for. Our Pan family must rely on these things to make a living, otherwise we will still fight. But for those who have black hearts. Don’t tell your brother about it yet.”

Pan Xiuqing nodded and said again, “Can’t we look for it now?”

Father Pan said: “Of course not. Chen Su’s henchmen also have hundreds of people, and the brothers below don’t know the situation and have no idea. If we want to find your uncle in Gaoyou safely, we have to keep this secret. I also I’m afraid I won’t be able to last until then, so I’ll tell you. If something happens to me, you can find a way to use this thing as a basis to make a deal with the people above. Leave it to your uncle.”

Suddenly I heard the sound of fighting and shouting outside, which interrupted Yingchun’s thoughts. Yingchun heard that it was like Han Yong and the others, and hurriedly performed light work and flew to the ground.

Pan Xiuqing also heard the sound of the roof and called out, “Who is it!”

It turned out that the temple was too dilapidated, Yingchun was lying on top of it, holding her breath, and Pan Xiuqing couldn’t find it yet, but when she moved, the old house beams and tiles must have loosened.

Pan Xiuqing is also a woman in the rivers and lakes. At this time, the sky is sunny after the rain, and the figure of Yingchun is seen under the moonlight and starlight, and she is busy stabbing her with a sword.

Yingchun’s posture twisted, and she ignored her and ran forward with Qinggong. After a while, at a fork in the road, Han Yong brought his three brothers to fight with Pan Shaoqing and others.

Fortunately, the ammunition of Han Yong and others’ fire guns were soaked by the lake water and could not be used, otherwise people would have been killed at this time.

Yingchun cast Lingbo Weibu to join it, just like Tianlong Qunhao was helpless against Duan Yu’s light work. After a while, Pan Shaoqing and others were all tapped at the acupuncture point by her.

A personal soldier’s dagger was about to stab at one of them, and Yingchun also tapped his acupuncture point by the way.

“Stop it all, it’s me!”

Han Yong was surprised and delighted: “Wang… Miss Wang, you are all right, luckily! We finally found you!”

At this moment, Pan Xiuqing also caught up and said, “Everyone, who are you? What do you want to do?”

Yingchun said: “This girl, there was a misunderstanding. It rained heavily during the day, and our ship sank. Only when we landed here was this a coincidence.”

Pan Xiuqing looked at her brother and said, “The girl is excellent in martial arts, is this the legendary acupuncture kung fu?”

Yingchun smiled and said, “I don’t dare to do it.”

Having said that, he stepped forward to untie their acupoints one by one, and then said: “If you offend, please don’t blame this sister.”

Yingchun is a girl. For most girls, they will feel relaxed when they meet the same girl under such circumstances.

Pan Xiuqing said, “Your martial arts are better than mine, and I am convinced, why do you blame you?”

After Pan Xiuqing finished speaking, she thought that she was hiding on the roof just now, wondering if she had heard her father whispering to her. All the people present together are not the girl’s opponent, and she can’t have a seizure. Besides, she can’t even tell her brother about that secret now.

Yingchun smiled slightly and said, “It’s been a long day, let’s go to the temple to rest.”

…

Back at the broken temple, two groups of people sat side by side. The Pan family, Zhao Si’er, and Liu Zisheng all looked at Yingchun and the others curiously. Listening to the accents of Han Yong and others, you can tell that they are from the north, and these very agile men are all under the command of a little girl.

At night, Father Pan developed a high fever and was breathing heavily. Yingchun walked over and said, “Master, the wound is inflamed.”

Yingchun said to Han Yong again, “Brother Han, come with me to pick some herbs.”

Han Yong didn’t say much, got up and followed her. Before dawn, the two went out to find herbs with torches. There is no penicillin in Chinese herbal medicine, only a class of drugs that clear heat and detoxify have this effect.

In spring, I picked up some herbs such as Houttuynia cordata, yellow lotus, dandelion, etc., and I was lucky. I also caught a large snake that was more than two meters long on the way. Snake meat is also effective in detoxifying and cleansing the skin, reducing swelling and relieving pain.

They washed the herbs by the river, disposed of the snake and brought it back.

Then Yingchun used the military iron cans in the “military backpack” to boil the herbs, and Han Yong and the others also took the cans to cook the snake soup, and each took a few pieces. This kind of equipment is also the standard marching standard for a modern soldier like Li Shuo.

After a while, the aroma of the soup came out, causing the Pan brothers and sisters, Zhao Si’er, Liu Zisheng and others to growl.

When Yingchun saw that Han Yong’s soup was almost cooked, he asked him to serve it to the old man of the Pan family.

“Wake up your stomach first, or you won’t be able to drink the medicine.”

Liu Zisheng said, “Young gang leader and young lady, their origins are unknown, and the gang leader can’t eat their food.”

Pan Xiuqing said, “Does this girl need so much trouble because of her martial arts skills?”

Said Pan Xiuqing, thanking Yingchun, and then fed his father a few mouthfuls of soup, and then let him eat two pieces of snake meat before feeding him the medicinal soup.

Yingchun was also very hungry, so a soldier named Yan Fang brought his snake soup to her.

After thanking you in Spring, you are not welcome.

Now everyone’s fire cannons can’t be used, her martial arts is the highest, and it is wise for her to give priority to maintaining physical strength.
