9.16 Miaoyu Puzzle, East and South

Outside Suzhou City, Panxiang Temple.

"Girl, this old slave is incompetent, I'm afraid it's—cough cough, I'm afraid I can't save the girl any more trouble." On the hospital bed, an old nun who didn't look old but looked extremely ill due to illness leaned helplessly. On the pillow at the head of the bed.

"Master, you take the medicine first. I'm still young, so I can't live without you." A pretty-looking woman dressed in a mixture of monks and Taoists carefully blew the medicine soup in the spoon and handed it to the old nun's mouth. side.

"Miss, you don't need to comfort me anymore." The old nun struggled to take the medicine, but he didn't see much improvement, "If there are no accidents, it will only be a year or two at most, but what is the difference between the current momentum and the dead .

It's a pity that the old slave is incompetent, this Panxiang Temple can no longer live, but the message we sent has not been responded to, obviously he doesn't want us to go back so early to return to life, ahem! "

"It's okay, I didn't want to marry and eat sand on the grassland, so I took my life to this place in the south of the Yangtze River. Thanks to the care of my master these years, I just didn't expect that our power here has fallen to such an extent.

Originally hoped that by relying on the manpower left over from that year, at least they could make some achievements, and they could speak up when they went back, but they didn't want the manpower left back then to be really capable, and their descendants would be hard to say. "The woman sighed helplessly.

"This Xing family, what kind of person the ancestors were back then, even the old master praised them many times. Unexpectedly, after staying here for more than 20 years, their son is not on the stage.

The old master kept them back then, but he didn't treat them badly at all. How many benefits did they give each year?Not to mention that their salaries have not been lost every month, and the girls have not stopped until now, but they don't want to pay such a price, and they have raised a litter of waste.

Fortunately, a granddaughter can make it happen, but she is too deserted, and she has no interest in the master's great cause. I don't know if I am stupid to read the words of the sages. It is a waste of a good skin. "The old nun said unwillingly.

"Forget it, they grew up in Suzhou. Over 30 years have passed, and they haven't even met their masters. How can they be expected to remain the same? If they haven't betrayed us so far, it's considered their best effort." The woman's attitude is not bad.

"Girl, I'm afraid the Zhen family is useless, not to mention that they don't want to provide us with shelter, even if they are willing, now they are also mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they are overwhelmed by the Wei family. They can't protect themselves. How much shelter can be provided?

However, they still agreed to our conditions and were willing to send us to Beijing, and they also agreed to contact their relatives in the capital to accept them, but they would have nothing to do with them after we got there. "Old Ni said with a wry smile.

"Even if I want to go, it's not now. I don't even have any reason. How can I run from Suzhou to the capital with my lonely daughter?" The woman's tone was full of helplessness, "Isn't the family even willing to give a little help?"

"A lot of money was sent, but most of them are antique calligraphy and paintings, and it is true to say that they are valuable. Given our current situation, how can we have the courage to turn them into cash?
If the news gets out, we're just like children carrying gold bricks through the market, I'm afraid even the most honest people want to make money for themselves. The old nun showed anger, "This is not helping, is it because we are afraid that we will not die?" "

"Forget it, at least it's enough for us to eat, so we won't starve to death on the street." The woman waved her hand impatiently, "Chang'an can be contacted? Are they willing to continue working?"

"The old slave tried three times to get in touch. It seems that there is no problem, but in the current situation, who dares to say that they are reliable? It's just a step by step." The old nun shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Then we can only wait, at least we can't leave now, because we can't guarantee the safety on the road, isn't the Zhen family even willing to help with this?" the woman said dissatisfied.

"They are willing to help, but this old slave doesn't dare to use it anymore." The old nun continued to shake his head and smiled bitterly, "The Zhen family is no longer the 'first family in Jiangnan'. No piece of armor killed by the second son of Wei will be left behind.

Even the Longshou Palace in the capital has given up on them now. If it weren't for Mrs. Fengsheng, it's hard to say whether the Zhen family would survive, not to mention that the war is still going on, and we can't move.

Then again, they used to do it for many ways, but after all these years, they have long lost their respect for us. The son of the prefect of Suzhou has no good intentions for the girl, so the second son of the Zhen family is a good thing again?

Every time that beast sees the girl, the old slave wants to pull out his eyes. Now that Suzhou is besieged by rioters, we can live a quiet life for a few days. If the Zhen family takes advantage of the opportunity, the old slave will have to risk his life to protect the girl.

For now, the only way to do it is to wait until the war is over, and the old slave will find a way to contact Chang'an, at least let them send a few people over, so as to avoid disaster on the way, that would be a joke. "Old Ni struggled and said.

"This Young Master Wei Er." The woman hesitated for a moment, but decided to discuss it, "Can we get in touch? The palace has made it clear that he doesn't want to keep him, maybe he is willing to follow us?"

"Even when their Emperor Gaozong was still here, I dared to try it. At that time, any of these big officials dared to be disrespectful to us? But in the current situation, I don't care. I'm just afraid of the girl." Don't dare to pick up the fight. "It doesn't matter, the master may not have seen the problem, but now in this Jiangnan land, he is the most popular person. I have studied it carefully, and I didn't expect to see a lot of things.

Not to mention his pacification of the rebellion and victory of the war, it would be too much to talk about these things, but his current deployment of troops does not seem to be prepared for the suppression of the rebellion. The woman smiled and took out a map.

"Isn't it counterinsurgency?" Lao Ni lowered his head and sized it up for a moment, then said strangely, "The outer area is very tightly arranged, but why is the inner area so relaxed? It seems to be..."

"He didn't care about the rioters or rebels all over the south of the Yangtze River at all. On the contrary, he was very worried about the periphery." The woman smiled slightly, "and considering his relationship with the palace, it is actually not difficult to guess."

"Is he rebellious?" The old nun said in disbelief, and Zi Ji shook his head, "No, no, it should be because he was worried about the palace, so he arranged some self-protection measures, which can be justified."

"What if we are willing to give him a chance?" The woman smiled even brighter, "When our army sweeps through the Northland, he will attack from the southern front. After that, he will be crowned king."

"This..." the old nun was very puzzled, "I know the situation at home very well, how could I still have the strength to march south? Even that old man Mu Hai has been able to make the family breathless all these years."

"Of course we know." The woman chuckled, "But others don't know! Looking around the world, who dares to trust us completely?"

"That's it." The old nun thought for a moment before raising his head. "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't convince him. I think he doesn't mind forming a good relationship. At least it's okay to ask someone to escort us to the capital."

"Don't worry. Anyway, the war is so serious now, no one will have the time to force us again. When the war is completely subsided, we will go directly to Jinling to avoid trouble." The woman said with a smile.

"What the girl said is true!" The old nun also breathed a sigh of relief, "just to be on the safe side, should we go to Jinling now, although it is still surrounded there, but I heard that his army is not far outside the city."

"That's good." The woman nodded, "Just going to Jinling, we can take the waterway, those rebels don't have sailors, the worst thing is to bring more water and stay on the boat for a while.

By the way, let's see if this Second Young Master Wei is worthy of his reputation. In any case, there is no rush for this kind of thing. When Jinling recovers, we will move in and stay for a while. At least it is more convenient than here. "

"The old slave understands!" The old nun nodded gratifiedly, "Although we are not as good as before, there is no problem in raising some manpower in Jiangnan to ensure safety."

At the same time, in the backyard of Jinling Wei Mansion, Qin Keqing was in the middle, Dongfang Bai and Wei Xu were on both sides, and the atmosphere was obviously after the "event".

"Dongfang, have you decided? Although our next plan is the land of Huguang, we are not in a hurry. There is plenty of time. It will be more convenient to wait until the war subsides and our army training is over." Wei Xu persuaded softly.

"No, for us now, the more chaotic the world is, the better. You try to delay the war until the end of the year, so that you can have a chance to replenish your troops, because I plan to take away 4 people, and only those who have been trained.

Then there is the batch of military supplies we brought back, [-] sets of Tang-style armor and supporting halberds, strong bows and other weapons. These things at home can no longer be used. "Dongfang Bai said confidently.

"Of course there is no problem. This batch of military capital is prepared for the next step. For this reason, even the halberds have been produced, just to prevent it from overlapping with the equipment at home. People suspect that the armor is also an inlaid armor with a leather backing and a steel plate. .

Armors of the Tang Dynasty style, long halberds that have long been out of use, and six thousand pairs of one-stone iron tire bows are just the training of this archer.

It’s just that I don’t worry about you going there alone, not to mention that we have no foundation there, and we have to start from scratch every step of the way. I am too aware of the difficulties of starting a business from scratch. "Wei Xu said distressedly.

"No, you will give me two hundred for the manpower you brought back this time, so that I won't have to be distracted from chores." Dongfang Bai tried his best to Qin Keqing, but at the same time he didn't forget to say sarcastic words, "Besides, if I don't leave, someone Some people should be worried."

"Alright, it's better to do things sooner rather than later." Wei Xu nodded, "Remember to leave a reliable line for our supply, and don't worry, it's good to be steady and steady. Have you decided on your name?"

"Isn't it the White Lotus Sect? Can you understand how to play with this thing? Let sister Xiuxun follow me, she thinks about rebuilding the ranch all day long." Dongfang Bai showed unabashed arrogance, "From now on, this seat will be the White Lotus Sage." Finally, the future empress, please serve me well!"
