Almighty Blessing Pack: Traveling through troubled times with a microscope

Chapter 116

In the room surrounded by picturesque flower tents, Li Jiang, who was wearing a white dragon embroidered robe, was holding two beautiful women in his arms. They were the most beautiful oirans in the entire Fragrant Willow Courtyard. The gaze of the richest second generation in Mizhou City was exchanged for today's love affair.But even if he already has such two stunning beauties in his arms, this rich son is still not satisfied.

Ji Ji's footsteps could be heard outside the door, dozens of people hesitated in front of the house and dared not go in, but it was already the time agreed by the young master, if he couldn't see anyone again, they might lose their lives.More than a dozen house slaves clutched their stomachs, knelt on the ground in pain, and told the leisurely Young Master Li all about what had happened.

After hearing this, he was furious, stretched out his hand and smashed a purple clay pot on the ground, yelling, "You trash, you can't even catch a woman! What's the use of raising you dogs?"

Li Jiang is very different from his usual elegant appearance, which frightens the two oirans holding pipas in their arms.They had never sold themselves in the Fragrant Willow Courtyard. Not only did they see Li Jiang's bulging wallet today, but they also saw the gentleman he had pretended to be in front of them for many years, so they decided to commit themselves to him regardless.

Li Jiang angrily asked the two oirans to leave, and then fell into thought while looking at the tiger-head walnut in his hand.For many years, he has not been unable to get the woman he wanted. He must find a way to attract Ren Bank to Mizhuang again, and then take the opportunity to fulfill his wish.

While conceiving some obscene ideas in his mind, Li Jiang smiled thoughtfully, when someone from outside came to report, a mysterious man in black suddenly appeared, and showed a dragon scale sign in front of Li Jiang.Li Jiang worked as an official in the capital. Although there are many masters and ministers in troubled times, seeing the dragon talisman is like seeing the king of chess.

He got up hurriedly, knelt down with his coat in his hands, not daring to look at anyone, the guys had never seen his son like this before, each of them didn't dare to say a word, Li Jiang threw a wink, and they all acted lightly obediently Going out, only the man in black and Li Jiang were left in the house.

The man in black took off the black cloth mask on his face. Li Jiang looked up. Although his temples were gray, the heroism between his brows and eyes was still the same. He stared at it for a long time, and he always felt familiar. In the water battle, he immediately remembered that this was General Chen who was next to the chess king.

When Li Jiang left the capital that year, General Chen came to Nanjun to look for treasures because he received a secret order from the chess king, but there was no news after that.He is kind to Li Jiang, if he is not afraid that Yuhuan Pavilion's family property will fall into the hands of Su Moqing, a relative, Li Jiang will be General Chen's most loyal subordinate.

He raised his eyes, with hot tears in his eyes, feeling a little sad that he hadn't seen for many years, but he was surprised to notice that General Chen's right arm was empty, with only one sleeve left. , it is your arm that will fail in the end"

General Chen sighed, "Don't talk about it, I was deceived by a woman when I was looking for the treasure back then. Following the path she pointed out, I came to a desperate situation and almost lost my life, not to mention an arm up"

Li Jiang's blood-red eyes widened, he was furious, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Who is so bold that he dares to tease the general like this!"

General Chen took out a portrait from his pocket, spread it out on the table, and waved to Li Jiang, "Get up and sit down first, look at this person."

Li Jiang looked intently, and found that the woman in the painting had lively eyes, a delicate mouth, a smile even if she was not smiling between her eyebrows and eyes, fair skin, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were very cute. This person looked so familiar, which made Li Jiang unnatural I trembled a bit, yes. It was Ren Bank many years ago!When I first met her, she was wearing the big red jacket in the portrait, which was very ugly, but now that Li Jiang has changed her taste, she looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

Seeing his eyes quivering, General Chen hurriedly asked, "Do you know this person?"

Li Jiang didn't dare to tell the truth. He knew that General Chen would definitely kill Ren Bank once he found Bank Ren in order to avenge his arm. However, Li Jiang had another plan in his heart. When he came back to work as a banker, he enjoyed her first, and then his life and death had nothing to do with him.

Li Jiang sneaked a glance at General Chen, who looked dignified. He knew that this old and cunning fox was not so easy to deceive, but he would not come to Mizhou City to look for him for no reason. After all, it is a sensitive period now. Zhao Wang and Wang Sanxiang During the war, the mother sent the news that the chess king will soon outflank from the periphery.

Li Jiang replied cautiously, "I don't know him, but if the general wants to find him, Li Jiang will definitely work hard to find this person for you! But you also know that the situation in Mizhou City is not optimistic now. Wang Sanxiang has a huge deficit in the war, so the Chamber of Commerce will lay the groundwork for you." Quite a few, and in serious cases, there may be a ban in the city, which will delay a lot of time."

General Chen looked at Li Jiang with a row of tables, and said, "This is the purpose of my coming to find you. His Royal Highness Chess King has been entrenched thirty miles north of Mizhuang. In the past three days, he is going to take down King Zhao directly." , and then threatened Luoyang to force the palace, and took back Yuxi in one fell swoop, Zhao Wang is a defeated general, nothing to fear, the trouble is Wang Sanxiang's cannon, which makes us very afraid."

"So we need you, find a way to get rid of this cannon, cooperate with us inside and out, and take down Mizhuang together!"

Li Jiang thought quickly in his mind.There is no doubt that if the King of Chess is stationed in Mizhuang, then Mizhuang will be his world in the future, and the King of Chess is far away in Luoyang, so he must be negligent in discipline here.At that time, Li Jiang will have soldiers under his command. As long as he finds the location of Shuihua Village, he can capture Ren Bank. At that time, Li Jiang will have a wretched smile on his face. What do you want to do?
This idea made Li Jiang very excited, but then he thought again, if Wang Sanxiang's cannon was taken away, and when the chess king attacked, Wang Sanxiang and the others would definitely be dead, but Wang Sanxiang and his mother have been close for many years. blame her.
Li Jiang is in a dilemma, but his desire to eat Ren Bank is too strong and vicious. When he thinks of Ren Bank's slender neck and arrogant appearance during the day, he only needs to think of her lying on the bed, waiting coquettishly. He obediently obeyed and cooperated, and he couldn't help stirring up waves moment after moment in his heart.

Therefore, he agreed to Chen Junshan's request without hesitation, and agreed that in the early morning of three days later, the cannon would be blown up. At that time, the bonfire would be believed, and the Chess King's army thirty miles away could destroy the entire Mizhuang in one fell swoop.

Li Jiang is not alone in preparing for the upcoming war.

The Shuixiang Hall in Shuihua Village is very busy from night onwards.Ming Shou rubbed the glass carefully for a long time according to the blueprint. Mr. Zhuge and Su Moqing watched in person, carving one by one. The three of them stayed in the carpentry room for six hours. By noon the next day, Sinan had completed the construction. After completing the fortifications of the whole village, several people came to the carpentry room to inspect the finished products after being reviewed by Ren Bank.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw three people with dark circles under their eyes, and excitedly showed them the jade seal placed under the red cloth.Its luster, its characters, and its dragon pattern are all indistinguishable from real jade seals. Ren Bank praised it after seeing it, which is hard to believe.

Just as everyone was planning how to find the right time to mix Yuxi into the chess king's team, Jin Xiaoyan came suddenly, bringing bad news.Su Moqing looked outside the door, and was startled, it was Guoxi, the leader of her own family.When she left, Su Moqing had told her that unless it was a major matter of destroying the teacher and the family, she must not come to him.Therefore, the moment he saw Guo Xie coming, he immediately got up.

And soon realized that something was wrong at home.

Su Moqing's identity is clearly revealed, and everyone knows who she is when they see Guo Xi. Guo Xi comes in and kneels in front of Su Moqing with red eyes. Young Master, they were all very surprised.

Guo Xi cried, "Master, something serious happened at home."

Guo Xi let the bank and other people tell the whole story of what he had overheard Li Jiang's conversation. Su Moqing realized that he was not in Yuhuan Pavilion now, and all his cronies were persecuted by the ruthless Li Jiang. , took the lead in lighting the flames of war.

Su Moqing slammed her fist on the table, "You're confused!"

If it were not for Wang Sanxiang's protection and respect over the years, the tons of jade antiques in Yuhuan Pavilion would not have been able to develop to the present.And the King of Chess is ruthless and greedy for money. If such people are allowed to occupy Mizhou City, they will persecute Yuhuan Pavilion and offer all the jade wares.

Wang Sanxiang is not from the royal family, and he doesn't have many bureaucratic airs. Although he is a bit annoying, he understands the world.Relying on his wealth and status, the son of a rich family can still have a place in his heart.

But Chess King is different.He is of the orthodox blood of the royal family, and after getting the jade seal, he was even more out of control. In front of him, no matter who has status, it is already a big gift from him to keep his life. rewarded.

"No, I have to go back and deal with this lunatic!"

Su Moqing was about to rush out after saying that, but was stopped by Jin Xiaoyan, and Ren Bank sternly said, "How do you manage it?"

"Do you know that Li Jiang was a general in the capital back then, with your three-legged cat's kung fu, who can you beat alone?"

Su Moqing lowered her head unwillingly.

Ren Bank immediately said, "Furthermore, you are already a member of my church, and you are brothers in life and death. I can't let you go to die."

Jin Xiaoyan put down his hand and patted Su Moqing on the shoulder, "Brother, you can't be reckless in this matter. Even if you stop Li Jiang, Wang Sanxiang's situation is over now, and King Zhao's army is on the verge of defeat. Both of them are in a state of despair. As long as the chess king plays With a ruthless hand, no one can escape."

"Then what do you say?"

Jin Xiaoyan glanced at Bank Ren, and said calmly, "Master, I have a way."

Everyone pricked up their ears, and Ren Bank hurriedly said, "I would like to hear more about it!"

Jin Xiaoyan spread the map on the table in front of him, and everyone surrounded him. He pointed to the two landmarks of Luoyang and Nanjun on the map, and said, "According to reliable sources, the Chess King's team is currently in the third place north of Mizhuang. Stationed ten miles away, on the side of Mizhuang, Li Jiang wants to blow up the cannon, I think it will take a lot of strength."

The eldest brother thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, my younger sister and I have seen the power of that cannon before. The barrel of the cannon is very thick, and it is made of fine iron, so it is not easy to blow up."

Ren Bank frowned and said, "No matter how difficult it is to blow up, setting fire to burn down the surrounding furnishings, so that Wang Sanxiang's people can't use this artillery as a fighting force, this is enough to achieve the goal."

Jin Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Yes! This is the key! They need to set fire as a mark to tell the chess king team thirty miles away to launch an attack. At this time, if he is a skilled soldier, he will send troops in two directions at the same time .”

"One direction is to speed up to Mizhuang and catch Zhao Wang. The other direction is to go to Luoyang to force the palace and get back the jade seal. So there is a question of sequence, that is, as soon as they see a fire, they will start the next step .”

Su Moqing somewhat understood what he meant, "You mean we set fire outside the city?"

"Yes!" Jin Xiaoyan tapped on the map with an ink pen, "They chose to attack late at night, one is because it is easy to hide, and the other is because they want to surprise, but the biggest problem with marching at night is that their vision is greatly restricted. Big restrictions."

"The best lookout soldiers in our military division can see about ten kilometers during the day, and thirty kilometers if it's a fire and smoke, but at night, it's less than five kilometers. Let's look at the place where they are entrenched .”

Jin Xiaoyan drew a red circle on the map, "This is a mountain road. Because it is easy to hide and the terrain is complicated, they chose to entrench here and wait for the signal from Li Jiang. The mountain road is surrounded by mountains. If they go around In addition, it is dark at night, unless someone who often walks this road leads the way, it is easy to get lost."

"No," Su Moqing denied, "Once it catches fire, the direction of the fire will be their direction. If they walk around and have a look, how could they get lost?"

Ren Bank suddenly realized, "I really want to know what you think. Do you want to use the moving fire to surround them to death in the mountains?"

Jin Xiaoyan nodded, "But this matter requires a person with good eyesight to do it."

Ren Bank smiled and said, "Of course it's me!"

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Jin Xiaoyan continued, "This is only the first step of the plan. We got news that the group of people in the south bypassed the main road they often take, and chose to detour to the north, and then went south. Guessing, it may be to confuse our attention, and there are many villages in this generation, they want to find out specific news about our village, and the place they must pass is the mountain where the chess king is entrenched."

"We can take advantage of their fear of being trapped in the mountains and let them fight directly. In this way, our jade seals will not be wasted!"

What a kill two birds with one stone!
Everyone couldn't help but praise, Su Moqing showed a bitter face, "You have to be a damaged person to come up with such an idea?"

Jin Xiaoyan swung his fist at him, but Su Moqing dodged it.

"I think it's okay! Let's do it!"
