Not to mention, don't look at the little pepper Pei Cuiyun who has a hot personality, behaves like a man, and yells, shouts and kills at every turn, and has a very hot temper, but when she put on her women's clothes seriously, and stood in front of Chen Yingliang gracefully, Chen Yingliang's eyes froze for a moment. It's really hard to move the time away from her face.
Chen Yingliang is not a first-time brother who has never seen the world. His past fiancée Chai Qian, his current wife's eldest grandson Wugou, and Chen Yingliang's de facto wife Yang Yuer all look and look first-class, but Pei Cuiyun puts on women's clothing and dresses seriously After a while, it seems that they are slightly better than them. The pretty face is suitable for joy and anger, without any dead ends, with a nose and lips, picturesque eyebrows, and a graceful figure that has been trained for a long time. On top of it, there are bumps and curves, and the tall and plump breasts are so seductive that Chen Yingliang, who is not bad by nature, can't help secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, faintly regretting that he missed his wedding with her.
Not only Chen Yingliang was dumbfounded, but Changsun Wuji, Ma Sanbao and others next to him also had their eyes straightened, lost in amazement. Changsun Wuji was also extremely worried, "This vixen is so attractive and has been entangled with my brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, please don't do anything to offend my sister."
Seeing Chen Yingliang and the others staring at her closely, Pei Cuiyun was proud and somewhat shy, so she showed the white fox fur on her body to Chen Yingliang, and said softly, "How about this fur? Is it good-looking?" ?”
"The clothes look good, but the key is to look good." Chen Yingliang told the truth, but of course, this truth made his brother-in-law and eldest grandson Wuji furious, and reminded Chen Yingliang that he was married with angry eyes, while Pei Cuiyun lowered his head shyly , Heart secretly rejoicing.
He generously bought three sets of high-quality women's clothing for Pei Cuiyun, and another set of exquisite jewelry. Chen Yingliang was not in a hurry to return to the post house to stay, nor did he go to the county government to trouble Xu Minlian, Dong You and others. Chen Shimei took her mistress, Pei Cuiyun, to roam the streets of Yongcheng County, took the opportunity to familiarize herself with the people on the streets of Yongcheng, and tried her best to persuade Pei Cuiyun, who was already a little impatient, to go out of the city with her and go shopping at the crowded canal wharf. lock up. The result was exactly as Chen Yingliang expected, Pei Cuiyun, who was tidied up and dressed attractively, was the focus of everyone's attention wherever he went, attracting countless amazing and greedy eyes, whispering to each other, quietly inquiring about Pei Cuiyun's origin was not uncommon.
Changsun Wuji and Ma Sanbao knew the purpose of Chen Yingliang taking Pei Cuiyun to go shopping, so of course they had no objection to accompanying Chen Yingliang to wander around the city, but the straightforward Pei Cuiyun had already become a little impatient. Pei Cuiyun, who doesn't like to hang out with nothing to do, must have left long ago. Fortunately, when he accompanied Chen Yingliang to the pier of the canal, Pei Cuiyun finally found something to relieve his boredom—the Sui army and auxiliary troops guarding the pier gathered together, and they didn't know what they were doing.
Chen Yingliang was also very interested in these situations, and took Pei Cuiyun, Ma Sanbao and others to the Sui Army team to check the situation, and finally squeezed into the crowd of onlookers. Chen Yingliang and Pei Cuiyun saw a Sui Army captain shouting in the circle, "... Did you hear me clearly? Repeat again, Taifu’s fleet will arrive in Yongcheng the day after tomorrow afternoon, and I will cheer up for Lao Tzu and be careful to guard against thieves. What's the matter, Li Xiaowei and I can't survive, and none of you can survive!"
"You all saw what happened just now!" Another captain of the Sui Army with a wound on his face also yelled and lectured, pointing at the whip wound on his face and shouted: "Xu Taishou personally ordered me to be whipped ten times in public! You guys If you don’t want to be as unlucky as Lao Tzu, you can work for Lao Tzu honestly, if the high officials from Dongdu are not satisfied, Lao Tzu will have to be whipped, and you can’t escape!”
The assembled Sui Army team lazily agreed, showing that their morale was very low. Chen Yingliang asked the surrounding people about the situation, and only then did he know that Xu Minlian had also visited the pier just now, because Li Cai, the school lieutenant in charge of the pier, was found to be lazy. Hiding in the small tavern next to the pier to sleep, he asked the guards to draw Li Cai in public to correct the military law, and asked the Sui army team to work hard and prepare for the Marquis Taifu fleet. Only then did the two school lieutenants assemble a team The matter of lecturing.
Of course, Chen Yingliang was secretly happy about this, knowing that the news would spread soon, but what happened next made Chen Yingliang almost vomit blood—the Yongcheng citizen who introduced the situation to Chen Yingliang asked Chen Yingliang in a confused way: "Young master, do you know what the Taifu is? Why is it so important? To make such a good-tempered person like Taishou Xu angry?"
"Fortunately, I came here to check the situation. Otherwise, if this matter fails, all previous efforts will be wasted." Chen Yingliang secretly rejoiced, and quickly explained to the common people: "The Taifu is the yamen for the emperor to take care of the treasure house. The jewels and jade used by the emperor. Gold, silver and treasures are all guarded and transported by this yamen. Taifu’s ship came to Yongcheng this time to bring some jewelry and jade articles to the Emperor’s Yongcheng Palace, and then send more jewelry to Jiangdu Palace.”
When he said this, Chen Yingliang used his voice very loudly so that other people nearby could hear him. He was also preparing to introduce himself as a member of the Taifu, but Chen Yingliang's preparation was obviously self-indulgent, and he learned from Chen Yingliang As soon as the Taifu was a yamen, the people who answered Chen Yingliang's words immediately got excited, and hurried to other places to show off their knowledge. Chen Yingliang smiled wryly at his lack of cooperation, but he had no choice but to turn his eyes to The crowd at the pier observed all kinds of people on the pier, and prayed in their hearts, "There must be spies for thieves among you."
…
Of course, the Tian brothers and Zhang Qian would not disappoint Chen Yingliang. Even though they are all uneducated farmers with mud legs, but after being a bandit for more than a year or two, the Tian brothers and Zhang Qian have already understood the intelligence without a teacher. Of course, they attach great importance to the crucial Yongcheng Wharf, and they have already arranged more than one spy eyeliner among Libang, trackers and vendors, plus the distance from Yongcheng Wharf Mangdang Mountain and Ji Mountain were not too far away, so it was only in the evening of that day, and the news that the Taifu fleet would arrive in Yongcheng in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow was sent to the Tian brothers and Zhang Qian respectively.
Let's first look at the situation of the Tian family brothers who have the most exam questions. Just as Chen Yingliang is fortunate, the Tian family brothers who are not well educated really don't know what the government is doing in Taifu. Fortunately, the rumors spread by Chen Yingliang himself have also spread to Tian bandits' eyeliner So the eyeliner quickly explained that the Taifu was the Yamen where Emperor Sui Yang showed the treasure house, and that the Taifu fleet was to deliver jewels to the Yongcheng Palace. As a result, the Tian brothers immediately became greedy, and the hot-tempered boss Tian Gang immediately shouted: "It's a good opportunity, if we can make this deal, maybe we can live without worrying about food and drink for the rest of our lives!"
"Brother, don't get too excited, this deal may not be so easy." The second child, Tian Baishe, is treacherous and is the military advisor of the Tian Bandit team. If you look at the treasure house widely, then their fleet must be protected by a large number of officers and soldiers, and with our strength, I am afraid that we will not be able to win this deal."
Tian Heishe is no longer excited and shouting, being able to hang out in Qiao County for so long, Tian Heishe has a little self-knowledge no matter how irritable his temper is, knowing that although he has a large number of people in his hands, with 3,500 or 600 people in his reputation, he is actually It was a mob with poor weapons, equipment and training. It would be very difficult to deal with the officers and soldiers in Qiao County, let alone the elite Sui army from Luoyang, the eastern capital. But no longer acting impulsively, it does not mean that Tian Heishe has completely given up on this deal. After calm consideration, Tian Heishe told Tian Baishe: "Second brother, you send more people and boats to the upper reaches of Tongji Canal Go and see the situation, if there is hope, let's try this deal, if it doesn't work, forget it, let's not take risks with the team."
"That's right, just like what the teacher we killed last time said, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood." Tian Baishe nodded, dropped a book bag in an arty way, and immediately arranged scouts There is no mention of reconnaissance in the upper reaches of the Tongji Canal.
It was also after Tian Baishe arranged the scout eyeliner, the eyeliner who reported the letter before said to the Tian family brothers with a smile: "My lord, second king, I have something to tell you, there is a new arrival from Yongcheng." A big beauty, as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Big beauty?" Tian Heishe laughed, and shouted, "Come here, give me two slaps on this kid, knowing what my lord likes, how dare you ask my lord if he is interested?!"
The two minions stepped forward with smiles, and gave the eyeliner two slaps, the eyeliner was also slapped and smiled playfully, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Tian Heishe, and Tian Heishe then asked: "Is it true or not? As beautiful as a fairy? Then the girls? Have you found out the situation clearly?"
"It's really very beautiful. The little one has grown so big, and I've never seen such a beautiful woman." The eyeliner nodded vigorously, and then said: "The little one knows that you like these, the king, so I asked about her by the way." The situation, I heard that the little girl came from Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the Taifu Yamen in Luoyang sent an official to contact the tyrant's Yongcheng palace, so that Yongcheng was ready to welcome the Taifu fleet, that little girl He followed that Taifu official."
"Damn it, so, if this deal is done, I will be able to get both money and money."
Tian Heishe was even more tempted. Just at this time, a young man suddenly ran in from outside the door. First he whispered something in Tian Baishe's ear, and then Tian Baishe's eyes straightened immediately. Blunted and exclaimed: "Really? Why did they send people here?"
"Second, what happened?" Tian Heishe asked hastily.
"Our deadly rivals, the two lieutenants of the government army, Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen, sent someone to Mount Mangdang to contact us, saying that they wanted to discuss something with us." Tian Baishe's answer stunned Tian Heishe. Eyes, the two brothers looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a long time, and finally couldn't stand the temptation of curiosity, and ordered to bring in the messenger of the Yongcheng Sui Army.
After a while, the blindfolded Yongcheng courier was carried into the room by a few young men. Because he was blindfolded with a black cloth and walked a lot of mountain roads, after unblinding the black cloth, the courier was very It took some effort to finally get used to the light of the torch, and finally saw the Tian family brothers sitting side by side in the room. The messenger did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly saluted the Tian family brothers, and said respectfully: "The deputy of the Yongcheng Garrison Li Yi, I have met the Black King and the White King."
"Li Jiang?" Tian Baishe asked suspiciously: "I remember that Li Cai has a younger brother named Li Yi. Are you the same person?"
"King Bai has a good memory. The younger one is Li Yi, Captain Li Cai, who is also my elder brother." Li Yi answered truthfully, and then smiled and said, "King Bai, in fact, we have met before, but we just don't know Do you still remember the villain? Last time when you robbed grain, my elder brother and I led troops to stop you, and we met from a distance at that time."
"It's really you." Tian Baishe smiled, and the smile was quite ferocious, and said: "I didn't expect you to have the courage to come here. Do you know how many brothers of my king have died at your hands over the past year or so?" inside?"
"King Bai, each is his master." Li Yi replied boldly, "Everyone is the same. Didn't many of our brothers die at your hands?"
"You have the guts to say such things when you are here." Tian Baishe sneered, and then asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I want to join hands with you to make a big deal." Li Yi said straight to the point: "To tell you the truth, we two brothers don't want to be soldiers for a long time. You know what happened to our soldiers. You have to prepare your own armor, weapons and war horses for your salary. In addition to eating and drinking in the barracks, the only income you get is the rewards for military exploits. You are so poor that you may lose your head at any time, so we two brothers want to make a big fortune. Buy and sell, and then occupy the mountain as king like you, eat meat in big chunks, drink in big bowls, and no longer sell that worthless life to the emperor."
"What big deal?" It was Tian Heishe who asked the question this time.
"Our brother received the news that a fleet from Luoyang, the eastern capital, will arrive in Yongcheng the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." Li Yi replied in a deep voice, "Xu Minlian personally told my elder brother Li Cai that the fleet was from the eastern capital. The fleet of the Taifu, the Taifu is a yamen dedicated to guarding the treasure house for the emperor. The fleet is filled with gold vessels used by the emperor, such as gold bowls, cups, and jugs, and even the toilets are gold inlaid with pearls. Only a small part of the gold and jewelry will be sent to the Yongcheng Palace, and the rest will be sent to the Jiangdu Palace. My brother discussed with me, and I want to find you to join hands in this deal. After the matter is completed, we will open it at 30-70%, we will only take 30%, and you will take it Seventy percent."
"That's right." Li Yi took out a letter and added: "There is also another school captain in Yongcheng, Zhang Huaishen, brother Zhang, who also agreed to join hands in this business. He and my brother are life-and-death friends. I didn’t want to sacrifice my life to the emperor for a long time, so after our brother tested his intentions, he immediately agreed, and swore with our brother that he would never betray. This is a joint letter signed by my elder brother and Zhang elder brother. Please read it .”
The letter was immediately presented to the Tian family brothers, but unfortunately, Tian Heishe didn't know a single word, and Tian Baishe's Douda could only understand a load of characters. The literati who came to keep the bookkeeping recited the letter, but after the bookkeeper read the letter, the Tian brothers were overjoyed very quickly. It turned out that Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen really put forward a request to join forces with the Tian family brothers to rob the Taifu fleet. It also explained the reasons why they made this request. First, Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen could not make ends meet even as school lieutenants because of the poor treatment of the government soldiers. Second, the prefect of Qiao County, Xu Minlian, abused his subordinates and whipped Li Cai in public. Li Cai could not bear the humiliation Only then did he make up his mind to join the promising and glorious industry of bandits. At the end, the accountant reported carefully that the letter was signed and marked by Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen at the end.
After hearing the contents of the letter, Tian Heishe, who had long wanted to make a big deal at Yongcheng Wharf, was immediately overjoyed, and almost immediately agreed to join hands in this big deal, but Tian Baishe was very calm, and first stopped him with winks The eldest brother's impulsiveness, after a moment of calculation, Tian Baishe suddenly shouted: "Come on, take this Li Yi down for me, cut it off!"
Tian Heishe was startled, and Li Yi, the person involved, was also startled. He exclaimed, "Bai lord, why did you kill me?"
"Why did you kill you?" Tian Baishe observed Li Yi's expression carefully, and said with a smirk: "Boy, you are too young to lie to me! Tell me! Are you trying to trick our team into Yongcheng?" Dock, set a trap for us?!"
"What's the matter?" Li Yi was startled, and screamed: "King Bai, you misunderstood, we didn't lie to you, we just want to join hands with you to make this big deal, there is no other meaning."
"No other meaning?" Tian Baishe smiled even more ferociously, and said, "Since your brothers intend to do this business and Zhang Huaishen has agreed to join hands with you, then why do you come to us? You can do this business by yourself." ?”
"Yes!" Tian Heishe also came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "There are only two school officers in Yongcheng. Since your brother Li Cai is the school captain, another school captain Zhang Huaishen has also joined forces with you. Yongcheng The officers and soldiers are all at your command, why don’t you do this business yourself? Why do you come to us?”
"So that's the case." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained: "Dark King Bai, you worry too much, you don't know, my eldest brother and Zhang eldest brother are indeed school captains, but they still have four brigades under their command. Shuai, the eight brigade leaders and the eight brigade lieutenants did not fully listen to what they said. This time we are preparing to kill officials and rebel. In case these brigade commanders, team leaders, and brigade lieutenants don’t want to follow us, stand up and fight with us. If we did the right thing, wouldn’t we be at a dead end? There are also those auxiliary soldiers and servants who are all under the command of the county magistrate Dong You, and my elder brother and Zhang elder brother can’t even command them, so my elder brother and Zhang elder brother want to ask you for help. As long as you lead the team to hijack the ship, and my elder brother and Zhang elder brother bring the team to join you, even if those brigade commanders and the team don’t want to follow us, we can immediately cooperate and kill them all!"
Tian Heishe showed joy again, but Tian Baishe was still skeptical, and hummed again: "It sounds good, the treasure ship of Taifu can be robbed if it is said to be robbed? God knows how many officers and soldiers escorted the treasure ship."
"Your Majesty Bai, you can rest assured about this point. We have already found out that there are really not many officers and soldiers escorting the boat this time." Li Yi said happily: "The Taifu sent a boy named Liang first. When I came to Yongcheng, I said that this time the Taifu only sent officers and soldiers from two schools to escort the boats for protection. In Xingyang County, I also encountered other kings’ boat robbery teams. They got off the boat, but the casualties were heavy, that's why Xu Minlian asked our Yongcheng team to protect the pier, lest you, the Black King and the White King, take advantage of the fire and rob them."
"Really?" Tian Baishe finally showed some joy.
"Bai King, I sent myself to be a hostage, how dare I lie to you?" Li Yi smiled wryly, and said: "If you don't believe me, you can send more people to the upper reaches of Tongji Canal to investigate the situation and see See if I'm lying to you. If I'm telling half a lie, you can kill me with a knife."
Tian Baishe's face became more joyful, and Li Yi added: "King Bai, King Hei, I won't hide it from you, we know that you may not agree, so my elder brother and Zhang elder brother also sent a person to Ji Shan, contact Zhang Qian with King Zhang, it’s okay if you don’t agree, we can still do this business with King Zhang.”
"Who said we won't agree?" Tian Baishe finally made up his mind, laughed and ordered: "Come here, prepare a banquet, and clean up the dust for Brother Li Yi. Let's chat while drinking!"
Li Yi was overjoyed, and quickly thanked Tian Baishe, Tian Heishe couldn't wait to get up and leave his seat, came over to hold Li Yi, laughed and greeted him affectionately, Tian Baishe used the excuse of going to arrange a banquet in person, and took the opportunity to call a confidant in front of him , commanded in a low voice: "Take two people and go to Jishan overnight to inquire about Zhang Qian's situation there, and see if Li Cai and Zhang Huaishen have really sent someone to contact him. If so, Zhang Qian will also If you agree, just ask him for me and the black king, if he is interested in joining hands with us to do this business, after it is done, we will even rob Yongcheng Wharf together, and we will get half of the things we robbed."
…
Almost at the same time, in Zhang Qian's stronghold located in Jishan, Zhang Qian personally accompanied and entertained another messenger from the Yongcheng army, and then found an excuse to leave the meeting temporarily, and also called a reliable confidant , and whispered in his ear: "Take two people to Mangdang Mountain immediately, contact Heishengshe and Baishe, and see what they mean. If they decide to do this business, ask them if they are interested." Let's join forces, and when the matter is completed, we will also wash the Yongcheng Pier, and the things we grab will be split in half."
The confidant agreed, and hurriedly took the order to leave. Zhang Qian, who was not as good as the Tian family brothers, remembered another important matter, and hurriedly called another subordinate, and ordered in a low voice: "You send more people and boats to Tongtong. Go to the upper reaches of Jiqu to see the situation. If there is hope, let's try this deal. If it doesn't work, forget it. We don't take the risk of the team. Also, tell us to keep an eye on the surrounding area of Yongcheng on the pier. Once we find the officers and soldiers If the number increases, or if there is any abnormal transfer, please report immediately."
