Volume 3: The world is in turmoil, and the undercurrent continues. Chapter 387: The divine strategist
"Worried about ourselves?" Rong's eyebrows were furrowed, but his heart tightened, and he clenched his fists in front of his chest: "Master, are you saying that we are in danger?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's not us, it's you, flower girl."
"Could it be those Liangshan thieves? Haven't they already escaped? One of them was caught by you. Do they dare to come back? This ship is heavily guarded." Hua Yourong looked at the soldiers on the ship.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, so they will come back to rescue people. There won't be many people, but they will come, and the real trouble probably hasn't come yet. So, flower girl, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't run around. In troubled times, bandits are rampant."
, not very safe.”
"Then what should we do? Why not stop and wait for the officers and soldiers to support us?" Hua Yourong asked. He believed that Jiang Ning had caught the bandit, and the information he knew should be relatively accurate.
Jiang Ning said: "Young lady Hua has thought carefully. This is the border of Shandong. If we get to the shore, there will be no less bandits on the ground than in the water. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to escape. Wouldn't we be like a turtle in a urn?"
"
"Haha, a turtle in an urn? How come you are scolding yourself with your description?" Hua Yourong raised her sleeves and smiled, letting out a laugh like a silver bell.
Jiang Ning didn't care at all: "What's this? You've already said it. This is a description."
Then he added: "No matter what you hear at night, hide in your room and never come out. Remember, General Di will also send people to protect you. If you make any mistake, the court will want General Di's head."
Hua Yourong snorted: "It's not as serious as you said. I'll make a bet with you. What if they don't come?"
"Haha, rejecting pornography, gambling and drugs is..." Jiang Ning said, then changed his words: "Tell me, what are you betting on?"
"If you lose, I want you to write three poems. They can only be written for me, and they can't be worse than today's poems. How about that?" Hua Yourong said with a smile.
Jiang Ning frowned: "Okay, but what if you lose?"
Hua Yourong thought for a while: "I lose. Your poems are worth a lot of money. What if I lose..."
As she spoke, Hua Yourong twirled her hair, looking extra playful. She pondered for a moment and said, "I will promise you one thing, as long as I can do it. Of course, I can't."
Jiang Ning tasted it again before he understood the meaning. He chuckled and said: "That's natural. The flower girl is the number one oiran in the capital. It must be a big thing to let you do something within your ability. Three poems
Poems are exchanged for favors, but in the final analysis, I still make money. After all, poems are valuable, but favors are priceless..."
After being explained like this by Jiang Ning, Hua Yourong suffered a loss.
Hua Yourong was stunned for a moment, but smiled and said: "You are really interesting. As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold is easy to get, but a word is hard to find. I can't even ask for Lord Zhu Xi's poems. This is your eternal masterpiece."
, who made the profit is not yet known.”
After saying that, Hua Yourong gently stroked the dust on Jiang Ning's shoulder, turned around, smiled with Jiang Ning, and went upstairs.
"Miss, what's so good about Jiang Ning that he can agree to such a thing..." The maid said displeasedly: "Looking at her makes you angry."
Hua Yourong smiled: "No problem, just think of it as a way to relieve boredom. No matter how powerful the Liangshan bandits are, we are not afraid, right?"
"That's right, just because of my reputation, not to mention the Liangshan bandits, even the Yuan Dynasty and the Turks, I would give her a three-point discount." The maid pouted and said playfully.
The maid turned on the lamp, but Hua Yourong still asked her to lock the door. It would not be a bad thing if she could bring the most talented man in the world under her pomegranate skirt.
Although Jiang Ning didn't understand Hua Yourong's thoughts, regarding her actions just now, she was a master who controlled men's mentality. In his time, he was either a sea king or a master of flirting with men. No wonder he was so well-informed.
, ran away before receiving the imperial edict. The various reasons are quite interesting. Based on his own judgment, Jiang Ning decided to stay away from this Hua Yourong. Maybe he would fall into her trap at some point.
At night, the fourteenth moon was already very bright and round, the breeze was blowing gently, and the water was calm.
Zhu Wu, Yan Qing and Zhang Shun had already poked their heads out of the water and climbed onto the merchant ship along the anchor. The three of them were all good at martial arts. Except for Yan Qing's injuries, Zhu Wu and Zhang Shun were both good players in this industry.
, successfully avoiding the patrolling soldiers.
Although Di Qing has stepped up patrols, it is not difficult to escape with the skills of a few people.
The three soldiers divided into two groups and each changed their clothes and makeup. Zhu Wu and Zhang Shun went directly to the cabin to rescue Huang Xin, while Yan Qing went straight to the fourth floor to block Jiang Ning.
Li Gun was helping in the cabin, and he knew the layout of the cabin very well. He also knew that there was a room at the end of the cabin, which was usually locked. It should be a place where prisoners were temporarily detained.
"Who is it?" At the end of the cabin, there were only two soldiers guarding it. It was the time for duty rotation. Usually there were four soldiers, and the other two went to change the guard.
"Back." Zhu Wu responded and walked over.
The lights were dim and there was some shaking in the cabin, so the view was not clear. I could only hear the soldier saying: "Have you brought back the wine I asked you to bring? Why are you so slow today..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shunlai appeared behind Zhu Wu, raised his knife and wiped the soldier's neck directly. At this moment, Zhu Wu stepped forward and struck the man behind him on the Heavenly Spirit with his palm.
On the way, he died unexpectedly.
Zhu Wu took out the key from the soldier and opened the lock. At the door of the cell, he saw Huang Xin sitting up after hearing the noise.
His whole body had changed into a set of clothes, and the wounds on his body were all wrapped in white cloth. It was obvious that he had been treated with medicine. On the small table were the rice bowls he had eaten in the evening, and the four large bowls actually had meat oil on them.
Is this the treatment of prisoners? Obviously not.
Zhu Wu frowned, the sword in his hand had been revealed, and Zhang Shun was also stunned by the scene in front of him. Shouldn't it be handcuffs and shackles? They have all experienced these more or less, but what is going on in front of them?
?
"Zhu Wu, Zhang Shun?" Huang Xin leaned on the bed, but put on a defensive posture: "Haha, you really don't give up, you want to kill me."
"What brings you to death? Brother Huang Xin, come with us quickly..."
Zhang Shun stepped forward and was about to pull Huang Xin, but Huang Xin instinctively took a step back, and all this was seen in Zhu Wu's eyes.
"Let you go? Haha, you sent people to rescue Yan Qing, but you came to kill me. Is it possible that those of us who came here are not brothers from the beginning to the end?" Huang Xinfa asked.
Zhang Shun was stunned: "Brother Huang Xin, why don't you save Yan Qing or kill you? Brother Zhu Wu and I are here to save you... Leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
Zhu Wu stopped Zhang Shun and said, "There's no need to leave. I'm afraid Huang Xin is no longer our brother."
"Brother Zhu Wu, you can't talk nonsense. This... what is going on?" Zhang Shun asked anxiously.
"We did not send anyone to rescue Yan Qing, nor did we send anyone to kill you. Yan Qing fled back with Chai Daguan and returned this morning. You fell into the trap..." Zhu Wu made a simple analysis.
