Ping An Biography

Chapter 230 Water Margin

There are too many deceptions in the world, and it is too elegant to describe it as intrigue.If Bai Fengjiao hadn't revealed the news, Zhang Ning would have no way of knowing that Ming envoy Geng Huaiyuan was in the Miao people's base camp; today she came to meet and brought some important information.A considerable number of people in the upper echelon of the Miao army advocated making peace with the official army; the Miao people have no intention of attacking Chenzhou now, and are ready to retreat to the Laer Mountain area at any time, so Zhang Ning's conditions for helping the Miao people capture Chenzhou City seem to have no weight up.The current negotiations are obviously very unfavorable to Zhang Ning.

When this game is going on in various deceptions, Bai Fengjiao's two helpings are very precious.

He couldn't help looking at Bai Fengjiao who was sitting in the room intentionally or unconsciously. Her image at this moment was quite different from the long dress and skirt she wore when she was on an envoy.Wearing a blue and white turban, the hair is decorated with a red ribbon, which makes the hair look lively and bright as if dyed; the upper body is a double-breasted short jacket, and the waist is very tight; the lower body is actually wearing a "miniskirt", which is no longer than knees. Fortunately, silk was wrapped around the legs as socks.This kind of attire can be regarded as outlandish in Daming, no wonder Zhang Ning couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When Bai Fengjiao noticed Zhang Ning's gaze when she was speaking, and turned her head to look over quickly, Zhang Ning avoided it again, pretending to be indifferent.

Zhang Ning held the lid of the teacup with his hand, brushed the surface of the tea for a while, and put the lid back on without drinking.He just made some trivial movements like this, revealing the complicated feelings in his heart.

The way of doing things in this trip is not only as simple as "knowing the benefits and benefits". In fact, everything is man-made, and the key is people.What was the reason for offending her in Cili County? Perhaps Zhang Ning showed an attitude of taking advantage of friendship?So this time he couldn't help but want to use this kind of thing, so he had to do it carefully.He was wondering, why did this woman contact him privately twice after being offended?

"Miss Bai reads, but has she ever read "Water Margin"?" Zhang Ning asked suddenly.

Bai Fengjiao shook her head solemnly, looking at his face with interest.He didn't wear a hat in the room, and the bun and wooden hairpin on his head were full of ancient ink fragrance as described in the book, and matched with a face, it was really cute... She suddenly felt a little shivering, wanting to smell the collared clothes Is there a faint smell of clean cotton cloth in the air.

Seeing her shaking her head, Zhang Ning thought, this Miao girl can even recite Ouyang Xiu's words, so why doesn't she know about the more widely spread Water Margin?What the hell, is it possible that the Water Margin hasn’t been written at this time, isn’t Shi Naian from the Yuan Dynasty?He didn't want to think too much, so he had to force himself to say: "This book is about a group of people in the Song Dynasty who conspired against each other, and finally accepted the imperial court's recruitment. After the so-called heroes lost their military power and were divided, all of them ended badly. King Miao didn't know the government of the country. Zhi, do you think there is any good fruit to eat after conspiring against the court first?"

"I know them well, and I'm afraid I won't be able to convince some leaders like this." Bai Fengjiao said helplessly, she lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and looked straight into his face and said, "I won't gossip, I came to see you today to help you in the end Once, to send you away from Luxi... You should understand what I mean. After today, we will owe each other nothing."

"Don't owe each other?" Zhang Ning inadvertently repeated.He couldn't figure it out for a while, who owed whom to him and Bai Fengjiao before?So where do we start when we don't owe each other in the future?

Bai Fengjiao nodded coldly, she looked into Zhang Ning's eyes, his deep eye sockets gave her the illusion of affection and sadness, and caused Bai Fengjiao to subconsciously feel a little sympathy.She said softly again: "Everyone in the world regards you as sinners, but not everyone wants to harm you."

Zhang Ning was stunned. His hands were put together on his knees, and his left hand squeezed his right hand hard.A little ambiguity is the most fragile and fickle, and it's really child's play to place hope on such uncertain things.

He was silent, trying to clear his thoughts.Seeing that the trip was about to return in vain, he was unwilling to regret his decision.The current situation is indeed full of danger. He guessed that it might happen that the Miao people captured him and gave Zhu Yong as a bargaining chip; but if he took the opportunity to escape and let the Miao army fall to the official army, wouldn't the Suzaku army in Gaodu fall to death? ?

After a moment of silence, Zhang Ning said: "Miss Bai's kindness, it is better to be respectful than obedient. How about leaving early tomorrow morning? I have another letter to send to King Miao in the afternoon."

Bai Fengjiao nodded and said: "That's fine." After saying that, she got up and said goodbye, and made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning.

After seeing her off, Zhang Ning immediately called Chen Maocai, Peach Blossom Fairy, and Wang Xian to the bedroom for a secret discussion.

"For the present plan, there is only one solution: kill Ming envoy Geng Huaiyuan." Zhang Ning said straight to the point.

The other three were surprised, and Wang Xian asked calmly, "Will the lord be put in danger by committing suicide on the territory of the Miao people?"

After a moment of silence, Peach Blossom Fairy stood up and said, "Didn't Miss Bai just say that she would send you away early? After the lord leaves, I will stay and try to accomplish what Ping An wants to do."

Zhang Ning looked at Peach Blossom Fairy with a moved face.At this time, Wang Xian said: "How can you entrust important matters to the generation of women, Wang only needs to relieve the worries of the lord."

Peach Blossom Fairy sneered and said, "How to step on the spot and how to avoid the guards, I'm afraid Brother Wang may not be an expert in such things. The Bai girl said that the envoy lives in the yamen ceremony hall, and I will definitely complete the mission."

Zhang Ning sighed: "This matter is dangerous, if it is not an emergency, I really cannot bear it."

Seeing this, Chen Maocai clasped his fists and said, "Even if we successfully assassinate the envoy, the purpose is not to be in the same position as the Miao people. After the matter is over, someone has to sit down and talk with them. I can't kill with a sword, I have to use three inches to kill people." Tongue has finished his errand, so he has to stay."

"Scholars die for their confidantes. I should share the troubles with you." Zhang Ning patted Wang Xian and the others on the shoulders with emotion.

Chen Maocai hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, don't be arrogant, my loyalty to my lord is just my duty, and you should take the overall situation into consideration."

Zhang Ning stopped saying those useless words, and immediately discussed with several people.It was decided that in the afternoon, Peach Blossom Fairy, Wang Xian and the others went to Bai Fengjiao's house to deliver gifts first, took the opportunity to inquire about the defense and terrain around the ceremony hall, chose the right time, and waited until tomorrow morning before taking action.Bai Fengjiao has contacts with this place, so it is reasonable to send people to give gifts, and the Miao people inside and outside will not stop them.

At night, the lights in several rooms where Zhang Ning lived were turned off.Peach Blossom Fairy and other thirteen people quietly came to Zhang Ning's room as farewell.According to Peach Blossom Fairy's idea, the only way to have a chance is to sneak out of the courtyard in the middle of the night and try to ambush to the ceremony hall, otherwise all the Han people passing by during the day will be too conspicuous.

The room was dimly lit, Zhang Ning heard where Peach Blossom Fairy was speaking, and stretched out his hand to grab her wrist.He couldn't bear it, but after a while, he thought that the matter had come to this point, if Peach Blossom Fairy was left behind, would Wang Xian and others feel that he valued a woman more?After thinking about it, he slowly let go of Peach Blossom Fairy's wrist in discomfort.
