But Shang Rong became suspicious: "You already had such a method, why didn't you use acupuncture earlier?"
"It will do me no good to regain your kung fu."
"What's your purpose of saving me now?" Shang Rong became increasingly uncertain. Is the person in front of me good or bad?
"There is naturally a purpose for you to resume your martial arts now. After a short rest, you can go rescue your senior brother."
"Save my senior brother?" Shang Rong was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right. Haven't you always wanted to save your senior brother?"
"Having said that... but... I was caught easily last time. If I try again this time, it might be counterproductive."
"Don't worry, the defenses in the water village will be relaxed tonight. This is a good opportunity for you."
"Loose guard tonight? How did you know?"
"Of course I arranged it myself. But do you still remember that Zhao Xiao asked me earlier if there was something different about what I wrote?"
Shang Rong thought for a while and nodded: "What does this mean?"
"At this moment, Mr. Wu and his party must have been arrested by others, and I went there deliberately to make Zhao Xiao suspicious. At that time, I said that Mr. Wu might take away the money and run away..."
"Didn't the thief look unbelieving at that time?"
"Sometimes people's hearts and expressions are exactly the opposite. Zhao Xiao must be worried and will definitely mobilize his cronies to go to Changzhou to investigate. I think at this time, they must have left the water village for a long time. There is no martial arts master in the water village.
Although your three-legged cat skills are useless, you can still deal with a few minions."
"You are the one with the skills of a three-legged cat!"
"Okay, no need to talk about those gossips. Didn't you ask me to save your senior brother before? Now I have given you an excellent opportunity, and the rest depends on you."
Shang Rong was doubtful. She couldn't understand why Xia Shang was so sure that Mr. Wu was arrested in Changzhou.
Why can one sentence make the thief suspicious?
And why do you conclude that the leader of the thieves will go to Changzhou in person?
I really can't understand all the problems, but looking at the appearance of the person in front of me, I think it's impossible for him to take the initiative to tell me.
Shang Rong did not ask further questions, looked out the window, gritted her teeth and ran into the dark night.
Tonight the water village is unusually quiet, and the stars in the sky are as bright as wildfire.
Under the starlight, Shang Rong was extremely cautious in every step he took. The experience of being captured last time was still vivid in his mind, so he could not take it lightly this time.
In fact, Shang Rong is stronger than Xia Shang imagined. As a young generation with outstanding achievements in the sect, his kung fu is naturally not weak. What Shang Rong lacks is a sense of caution and a little more aloof.
Today, we were walking at night under the moon again. Shang Rong restrained himself a lot. He vaguely remembered the location of the prison and crawled all the way there.
…
A lot of big things happened tonight, especially in Changzhou. All the big families made a lot of noise, and without exception, their own ladies were going to do some ridiculous things.
In General Li's Mansion in Changzhou, servants were always walking around outside Miss Li Youruo's room, delivering letters to and from him.
Li Youruo stayed up late at night and opened all the envelopes one by one without intending to sleep.
"Queen Yuanyuan, the prefect of Changzhou, has asked my father to join forces with all the officials in the seven counties of Changzhou to suppress the Taihu water bandits, and has set up 72 checkpoints at the intersections of eighteen roads around Taihu Lake. Everyone passing along the way will be checked one by one, and any gangsters
He will be captured."
"Tonghui Pawn Yang Zhi asked for one million taels of silver and ten boxes of jewelry to fight against the bandits, which will be used to recruit righteous men from all over the world to fight against the bandits together."
"The Chen family in the north of Changzhou City has a total of 130 servants, 400 assistants and laborers, and a total of 600 people have joined the bandit-suppressing army."
"Sixty experts from all over the Tiewei Escort Bureau have joined the bandit-suppressing army."
"More than eighty of the two hundred disciples of Qianyun Villa joined the bandit-suppressing army."
…
Once a letter is opened, the bandit-suppressing army organized by Li Youruo will become stronger and stronger, and the roster in his hand is already densely packed. Moreover, the strength organized by the ladies from various families is so powerful that it is jaw-dropping. Now just willing
The number of manpower to suppress the bandits exceeds 7,000, and there are still many sisters whose families have not heard any definite news. The force of the team will surely become stronger in the future.
This incident caused quite a stir, and the entire Changzhou was shaken by it.
Almost all families can't figure out what makes their daughter so angry that she even threatens her life to ask the family to participate in the suppression of bandits.
However, this is also an opportunity, because the major families in Changzhou have never worked together like this time, and coupled with the promotion of the government, an unprecedented wave of bandit suppression has begun to brew.
Changzhou is not a military key point, so the only military family is Li Youruo.
Li Youruo's letter had been sent three days ago when he first came into contact with the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions". It was time to get a reply at this time.
Li Youruo was the only daughter and the apple of General Li Yi's eye. Her words were Li Yi's words, and General Li Yi would agree to any request she made. The other sisters also watched, wanting to see how much noise Li Youruo was going to make.
And Li Youruo's idea is simple, that is, he must do his best to stand out among the many admirers of Mr. Cao. When Mr. Cao is rescued, he will be able to see Mr. Cao's true face, and perhaps listen to his true appearance.
teach……
The lights on the table were flickering. Li Youruo looked through the envelopes and looked a little tired. He was about to fall asleep.
But at this moment, a family member came hurriedly outside the house: "Miss...Miss, General Luo is here."
"Luo Zheng?"
"Yes, that's General Luo Zheng."
When Li Youruo heard this, he became energetic and quickly opened the door to go out of the house.
But after walking a few steps, a man in military uniform hurriedly arrived in the courtyard. He was wearing silver armor and looked majestic. But when he saw Li Youruo, he clasped his fists and saluted: "I will finally pay my respects to the eldest lady."
"Luo Zheng, how many people did you bring?"
"It's just a few dozen people."
"What? Didn't I say well in the letter that I asked my father to mobilize 30,000 troops? Has the army not arrived yet?"
"no."
"Then why are you here?"
"The general will either come to inquire about the situation, or he will inform the lady... inform the lady..."
"tell me what?"
"Tell the lady that this is enough...enough is enough."
"Enough is enough! Did father really say that?"
"Miss, General, he said that he mobilized troops without authorization without the military order from the imperial court..."
"Stop talking! Go back and tell my father that if he doesn't come with troops, it will be as if he doesn't have my daughter!"
"Miss, please listen to my explanation."
"What other explanation is there?"
"The general has already sent for military orders. At the same time, he also asked the general to bring some treasures to the young lady."
"You go back and tell him that he doesn't know anything about this matter, and he won't be able to give me any gold, silver or jewelry!"
"What the general brought here is not gold, silver or jewelry, but the treasures of the bandits."
"what is that?"
"Miss, you can tell by looking outside the general's house."
Li Youruo was not interested and was thinking about how to get his father to mobilize troops back. Unknowingly, he followed General Luo Zheng to the door of the house.
When Li Youruo saw the things displayed in front of the mansion, his eyes were horrified and he was stunned.
Under the dark night, five black and murderous cannons were lined up in a row, like proud giants, making the sun and moon dim. (To be continued)
