Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"what's going on?"

Looking in the distance, members of the White Lotus Sect had their heads chopped off one by one.

Wu Gong and others looked at each other.

They all saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

When did the territory of the White Lotus Sect come here?

"I've been here a long time ago." Only Su Quan shook his head and said nonchalantly: "In recent years, the power of the Mingjiao has been at its peak, and its territory has become larger and larger. The White Lotus Sect has been the most severely suppressed because it is directly adjacent to the Mingjiao.

It had already begun to give up part of its territory and began to move towards the north.

Especially after the death of Red Fire Buddha Mother.

The White Lotus Sect has no trump cards to compete with the Ming Sect.

However, I never dreamed that they would actually enter the Manchu-occupied areas! A strange expression appeared on Su Quan's face, "This is very similar to the style of the Red Fire Buddha Mother. She is bold and careful, and she must avenge her enemies."

However, she should be dead. "

Wu Gong scratched his head, he had a premonition.

Such a change in the White Lotus Sect is most likely directly related to the herb that Huang Rong handed to the Five Lotus Buddha Mother.

However, the affairs of the White Lotus Sect have nothing to do with them.

So I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Continuing to prepare to pass through this important town, they finally saw the ship they were about to board.

The boat Su Quan prepared was a lock boat covered with fishing nets, which was the so-called ocean-going fishing boat in this era. Because it has to go around the sea, only a large ship like this can sail smoothly on the sea.

If replaced by ordinary boats and ordinary fishing boats.

It is very likely that a random wave will hit you and you will be knocked over.

Especially now that it's winter again.

There are hurricanes at sea, so it’s best to be safe.

Responsible for coming over to connect.

He is an honest-looking man with thick and strong eyebrows, no beard on his face, and a kind smile on his lips, but his calm and self-defeating aura is vividly displayed when his eyes turn.

As soon as he saw Su Quan, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

Su Quan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Brother Sun, let's not let this nonsense come between us. I asked you for help, but why did you kowtow to me?"

The man stood up from the ground with a smile, "Madam's great kindness, I will never forget it in my life. If it weren't for Madam, I would have died on Shenlong Island. But Madam, do you really want to go to sea now?"

A serious expression appeared on the man's face: "The Manchu and Qing Tatars are currently conducting continuous searches in the coastal areas. All fishing boats and merchant ships they find will be detained. As long as they find that they are passing from our side, they will all be detained." Behead the ship!”

Su Quan frowned and said, "Are they crazy? If they kill people so unscrupulously, no one will be willing to trade with them. Are they planning to go south?"

The man shook his head and said, "This seems to have something to do with the White Lotus Sect. Not long ago, the Red Fire Buddha Mother who died in the White Lotus Sect was resurrected. With the help of the White Lotus Sect, she assassinated ten senior officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Then the Manchu Qing Dynasty His eyes turned red and he began to hunt down the White Lotus Sect everywhere. I heard that the ten high-ranking officials who died might have been members of the royal family and relatives of Obai.

I heard that this time a prince from Zongren Mansion led the team.

The White Lotus Sect must be completely eradicated. The man blinked and suddenly said: "Madam, the chief helmsman of the Tiandihui, Chen Jinnan, was killed. Do you know?" "

Su Quan glanced at him and pretended not to know, "When did it happen? How did Chen Jinnan die?"

"I don't know, it's just that someone saw his head hanging on the tower in the north, but the head was severely decayed and his appearance was completely unrecognizable."

Su Quan nodded and didn't want to continue chatting: "If you can't go to sea, what is the safe way to the other side?"

The man thought for a moment.

Shaked his head.

"Madam, there is no good way, the Manchu and Qing Tatars are a bunch of inhumane mad dogs.

The best way is to wait for a period of time, up to a month and at least half a month.

After the White Lotus Sect is almost eliminated, the Manchu Tatars will no longer suffer from this kind of epilepsy.

This was the case last time when the Dashun camp fled south. Madam, how about I arrange for you to stay for one night first? Even if you want to go to sea, you can't go today because there is a typhoon blowing outside.

At the very least, we have to wait two days before we can go to sea.

In these two days, I will help you see if there is any safer way.

Of course I can't guarantee it. "

Su Quan nodded.

He reached out and took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his arms: "Brother Sun, you also need to support your family and the crew under you. You should take this banknote first. If you don't take it, I'm so busy, I don't need your help with this.

I'll just figure it out myself. "

The man didn't hesitate too much and reached out to take the banknote, saying, "Madam, you better understand me. I, Sun Biao, have never been polite in this regard.

These rat pigtails on the opposite side have gone crazy lately, and I haven’t been out to sea for a long time. Thinking about it now, this is a lucky thing, as if God wants me to stay here, wait for my wife to come, and do things for her, and I will lead the way. "

The man led the crowd, turning left and right in this small town, and finally stopped in a small, dark house, saying: "I bought this yard. Apart from me, few people know about it. Madam. You guys will stay here for now, and I will go and help you get information about the other side. I will be back when it gets dark at most."

"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Sun."

When the man heard this, he bowed and kowtowed again.

Su Quan stopped him several times before convincing him to leave.

"Who is this person? His martial arts skills are at least second-rate. Ordinary people are no match for him."

Wu Gong asked curiously. After this period of growth, he could also tell from his breath movements and agility whether this person knew martial arts and what his level of martial arts was.

"His name is Sun Biao." Su Quan said without paying much attention, "He was almost killed by Hong Antong for breaking the religious rules. It was only because I interceded on his behalf that he did not die, but was expelled. It’s just the Shennong religion.

Later, he found me.

It turned out that he pulled a fleet of ships and started to engage in ocean trade and catch ocean fish.

Business was booming, but he never forgot my kindness.

Gave me 10% of dry stock.

If I just sit still every year, I can get dividends of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

He has nothing to do with the Dragon Cult at all, he is absolutely clean.

At the same time, his team often sails on ocean trade and is very clear about the reef currents in the offshore and far seas.

So I wrote to him, and he graciously agreed to help.

I just didn't expect that something like the White Lotus Sect would happen halfway.

It seems that we have to think of another way to go to the north in advance. "

Wu Gong nodded.

In fact, there is the most direct way, which is to kill him.

With his strength.

Wu Gong is definitely an army of one man, possessing the power of terror to rule with one enemy against ten thousand.

However, after all, there are two people in the current convoy, one large and one small, who have no martial arts skills.

Wu Gong can indeed face thousands of troops by himself.

But he couldn't take care of all directions.

Under such circumstances, this plan was directly abandoned by him.

"How about we change the route and go from Chengdu. There are mountains over there. Even if the Manchus and Qing Dynasties want to set up defenses, they can't defend them at all. It's not like the mouth of the canal, where the sea is bare and people with excellent eyesight can't do it. , you can see the movement on the sea even at night. It is difficult not to be discovered." Li Mochou put forward her own suggestion: "There is another advantage of walking from Chengdu Prefecture, that is, we can take a detour When we get to Zhongnan Mountain, I can send this little girl Tianyou back to my junior sister. To be honest, I haven’t seen her for a long time. When I left, she was just a little girl. In Jianghu After wandering around for so many years, she should have grown into a tall and graceful beauty by now."

At this point, she glanced at Wu Gong, and suddenly felt some regret in her heart, 'Am I sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? ’

"You can think about it." Su Quan began to think about the feasibility of this plan.

Wu Gong did not see Li Mochou's strange eyes.

Instead, he looked towards the entrance of the alley not far away.

It's not completely dark yet.

There are people all over the road.

Because the other side has been killing people these days.

The canal was full of corpses.

It made people panic. Along the way, I saw almost no teahouses or restaurants.

There are only a few restaurants with small doors and small noodles. Just open them if you have no choice but to make a living.

But at this moment, there was a crowd of people surrounding the alley.

It's like rushing to buy something.

Put your nose to it and smell it.

You can even smell a hint of chestnuts.

It should be a roasted chestnut stall.

Speaking of which, I have been on a long journey today.

I was very hungry and didn’t eat anything along the way.

I originally thought about going into town and having a big meal.

But I didn't find anything edible on the way.

Wu Gong hesitated for a while, then walked towards the chestnut stall at the end of the alley, and said, "There seems to be a chestnut stall over there. I'm going to buy some chestnuts. I haven't eaten this for a long time, and I'm still a little greedy."

"I want it too!" Zhao Tianyou had been hanging around Wang Yuyan. Hearing these words, he immediately shouted loudly, with a crisp voice like an oriole, followed immediately by the dull sound of tapping his head with his fingers: "Be quiet!" Li Mochou fiercely pulled her ears, like a stubborn donkey, and dragged her into the yard.

Wu Gong walked to the chestnut stall.

Seven or eight people were grabbing a pot of chestnuts.

It can be seen that this is not their first purchase.

"How much does it cost per pound? How do you sell it?"

Setting up a roasted chestnut stall.

She is a stooped old lady.

Her back injury felt like she was carrying a huge boulder.

The waist has almost reached 90 degrees.

Just barely touching the wok, she heard Wu Gong's words and replied in a kind voice without thinking: "Hot and fragrant sugar-roasted chestnuts only cost ten cents a pound."

"This is one tael of silver. I don't want to change it. Here's twenty kilograms."

Wu Gong threw out a tael of silver.

The two pieces of silver fell into the money basket next to him.

The old lady was obviously stunned for a moment.

But he soon continued to stir-fry chestnuts and said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Wu Gong didn't say a word, crossed his arms and walked to the side to wait.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

In the darkening sky, he saw a red embroidered shoe.
