Chapter 10 Peach Blossom Comes to Your Door (For Collection)
Anyway, Feng Xiang finally persuaded Kong Fanlin and other palace guards to agree to split up the team. When it was completely dark, the three private boats hired by Feng Xiang and others arrived at the Jiuzhou River, and Feng Xiang led Kong Fanlin, Xiao Erlang and six palace guards. The masters abandoned their boats and landed, and took the official road to go south to Baise. The family members of the Lu family and the remaining guards of the palace continued to travel by water under the leadership of Kong Fanlin's deputy Luo Kedi, turning from the Beipan River to the Pearl River, and then went straight to Guangzhou. Celebrating rendezvous.However, although Kong Fanlin and other guards reluctantly agreed to Feng Xiang's decision, when it was time to disembark, Kong Fanlin and others inevitably complained again.

"I said Master Lu, you are really looking for trouble." Seeing the civilian boat disappearing into the night, Kong Fanlin, who was filled with regret, couldn't help complaining to Feng Xiang: "I don't want to sit on a good boat, but I have to get off the boat and walk. We don’t even have a horse, when will we be able to reach Deqing?”

"Yeah, master, it's okay for me to walk a little bit, can you take such a long way?" Xiao Erlang, the only one in the team who is loyal to Feng Xiang, also complained, and suggested: "Master, how about Hurry up, little one, and call the boat back, let’s just take the boat, walking is too tiring, it’s okay for the little one to be used to walking on mountain roads since childhood, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it.”

Feng Xiang, who was not very confident, was a little shaken, and began to wonder if he was a shadow of a snake, but at this moment, a guard of the palace closest to the river suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk, there is another boat coming from the upper reaches It's gone." Feng Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Quickly turn off the torches, everyone hides in the woods, and don't let the people on the boat see us."

"Quick, quick." In the sound of urging, the well-trained Wu Sangui guard quickly extinguished the torch, and under the cover of night, rushed into the woods beside the road to hide like lightning.After a while, a small boat with only two lanterns came down from the upper reaches and stopped at the section of the river where Feng Xiang and the others stayed before. Feng Xiang and the others listened carefully, and vaguely heard someone on the boat say: " No, who said there was a fire here just now?"

"Eh? That's weird. I seemed to see the light of a torch here just now. Why isn't it here again? General Manager, why don't you send some people ashore to have a look?"

"Don't waste time. If there are real people on the shore, as long as there is a torch, they can be seen clearly from two or three miles away. See for yourself, what kind of torch is there on the shore?"

"That's right, it's probably Xiaosi, you're wrong. Go, chase Lu Yifeng quickly, if you lose his boat, the higher-ups will ask Lao Tzu to settle the score, and I won't let you go, Xiao Si."

During the conversation, the boat re-anchored and chased downstream. Feng Xiang and the others who were hiding in the woods stared at each other in shock. It wasn't until the boat was far away that Erlang stammered and asked, "Master Feng... , Did you commit adultery with a married woman in Dali Mansion last time? The younger one said at the time that it’s fine to play with a woman like that with a man, and you’ll be fine if you pay a few taels of money , but you are lucky, you just want to hook up with that woman, and now the woman's man must have found out, and sued the Dali Mansion Yamen to send someone to arrest you."

"Idiot!" Feng Xiang gave another chestnut to Erlang's head, and said angrily: "This is Guangxi, how could the Yamen of Dali Mansion send people here to arrest me? It will also be the government servants of Dali Mansion, how could it be the army of Guangxi?"

"Then why did the Guangxi army arrest you?" Erlang asked even more confusedly.Kong Fanlin also asked over there, "Lord Lu, have you offended anyone in the Guangxi officialdom? Or have you offended anyone in the Guangxi army?"

"No, I have never been to Guangxi before, how could I provoke people here?" Feng Xiang denied it, and then said in a deep voice: "It seems that the worst thing I expected before may have happened. Someone is indeed eyeing me, but I don't know what their purpose is, why they have already discovered my whereabouts, but they still don't do anything?"

"Master Lu, you are carrying the secret letter from the prince to King Pingnan. There is no room for any mistakes." Kong Fanlin said worriedly: "Why don't we turn around and go back to Yunnan to report to the prince. If we miss the important matter of the prince, we will No one can afford to suffer."

The situation is unclear, and the enemy's identity and intentions are unclear. Of course, Feng Xiang was a little tempted by Kong Fanlin's suggestion, but after thinking about it carefully, Feng Xiang immediately vetoed it: "No, if I do this, I will lose one in front of the prince. I have the impression of cowardice and incompetence, so I can only continue to go to Guangdong, and at most one person can be sent back to report to the prince." Kong Fanlin and others saw that Feng Xiang insisted, so they didn't force it—anyway, the goal of these Guangxi soldiers had already been made clear. Xiang, Kong Fanlin and the guards who belonged to the Pingxi Palace would not care too much about Feng Xiang's life or death.At present, Feng Xiang, Kong Fanlin and other guards re-discussed a little bit, and one of the guards of the Pingxi Palace returned to Yunnan by land to report to Wu Sangui, and Feng Xiang took the remaining six guards of the Palace and Xiao Erlang to go south overnight, and rushed to Baise by land. Then take a boat from Baise to Guangdong.

After sending out the guards who reported the letter, Feng Xiang and others were worried that the Guangxi military ship that was following them would find that they had already escaped their shells. Kong Fanlin, a veteran who was carefully selected from the army, was born as a scout. He is best at identifying directions and lurking in unfamiliar environments. He is also very good at expelling beasts and poisonous insects, so it went smoothly this night.By daybreak, Feng Xiang and the others had already arrived at Lucheng Pavilion, a small town in Sicheng Prefecture. It must be because Feng Xiang was extremely happy, and there happened to be a fair in the town today, and Feng Xiang and the others bought two more horses to inherit Feng Xiang with Lu Yifeng's white and fat body finally had a replacement foot tool, and his walking speed was much faster.

After walking for more than a day, Feng Xiang and his party arrived in Baise smoothly. After Kong Fanlin visited the pier and found that the interrogation was not strict, Feng Xiang took Erlang and others to the pier to charter a passenger boat, and rushed to Guangdong by Yujiang waterway.During the boat day and night, Feng Xiang and others were getting closer and closer to Guangdong, and after careful observation, no strangers were following them. Feng Xiang gradually felt relieved, and said that the pursuers had not realized that he had escaped from the shell of a golden cicada and was still chasing him foolishly. He no longer worried about those few civilian ships loaded with medicine. He just studied the "Mao Xia Policy Question Collection" taught to him by Liu Xuanchu every day, combined with the knowledge of later generations to understand and learn the way of military regime strategy, and strive to improve his self-cultivation. One is to figure out how to persuade the veteran traitor Shang Kexi and his son and Wu Sangui to join forces against the Qing government's plan to weaken the soft power of San Francisco.

Unknowingly, Feng Xiang and his party had already arrived in Xunzhou, less than three days away from Guangdong by boat, but at this moment, the boatman who hired the boat came over to complain, saying that Feng Xiang had to hurry along the way , Without stopping, the firewood, rice, oil and salt on board have been completely exhausted. In any case, they have to stop at the Xunzhoufu Wharf to replenish the daily consumables.At the same time, the bad guys like Xiao Erlang and Kong Fanlin were already tired of the boring life on the boat, and they clamored to go to Xunzhou City to have a good time. Feng Xiang had no choice but to agree to stay in Xunzhou for one night, let the boatman buy daily necessities, and himself Bring Kong Fanlin and these eight uncles Qiu into the city, pay them to eat, drink, prostitute, gamble and have a good time.

Xunzhou, also known as Guiping, is one of the cities with the longest history in Guangxi. The waterway transportation is very developed, and the city is full of businesses and businesses. It is also very lively and prosperous. The long-lost feeling in the world, and Ding Xiao Erlang, a country bumpkin next to Feng Xiang, was even more dizzying, yelling constantly, and even said to Feng Xiang on the street: "Master Feng, the Xunzhou government is better than our Dali. The mansion is really too strong, if Prince Pingxi made you the magistrate of Xunzhou that day, we can scrape land here, at least in a year, we can get two to thirty thousand taels of silver, right?"

Erlang's shameless yelling on the street naturally attracted the attention of the whole street, let alone the rolling eyes of countless people. Feng Xiang didn't dare to answer Erlang's words with such contemptuous eyes, but hurriedly pretended not to know this idiot.But it's a pity that Ding Xiao Erlang, a bumpkin, didn't notice it at all, and instead said louder, "I'm afraid it's still a little to scrape 3 taels of silver a year. I remember, young master, you said that when you become the magistrate of Qujing County, what are you going to do?" It’s okay to charge Huoxiao for nine taels of silver, so there’s so much money here, right? After this year, how much more money should you make, young master?”

"Idiot!" Feng Xiang couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed a chestnut on the head of the villain Ding Xiao Erlang, and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot! Shut up! Are you afraid that others will not know that I have come to Xunzhou? Stop talking nonsense Hurry up and find a big restaurant to stop your mouth." After finishing speaking, Feng Xiang kicked Erlang and left, and Kong Fanlin and other guards beside him who were laughing and laughing hurriedly followed.But what Feng Xiang, Kong Fanlin and the others didn't notice was that not far behind them, a few sinister eyes had already fixed on Feng Xiang...

………………

"Idiot! Idiot!" After entering the restaurant and ordering food, Kong Fanlin and other guards on the boat, who had already started to drink from their mouths, couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and drink, Feng Xiang still couldn't get rid of the remaining anger at Erlang, while beating Erlang scolded: "You think the reputation of our West election officials has not been destroyed enough, don't you? In broad daylight, they talk about how to scrape land for profit, and even call out my official position. Do you want my reputation to be better than yours? The stone still stinks?"

"Master, I don't dare anymore, I won't dare again." Erlang hugged his head begging for mercy while feeling disdainful, and said to himself, master, what are you pretending to be?Some time ago you took us from Dali Mansion to Kunming to kowtow to Prince Pingxi. I don’t know who is smiling all the time.By the way, I have been worrying all day how to collect taxes for five years in three years, and now I am pretending to be innocent?

"Lord Lu, forget it, Xiao Erlang didn't do it on purpose." Kong Fanlin raised his glass and persuaded, "Besides, I can guarantee that when Erlang announced your official title, Lord Lu, there was no one around who looked like a soldier to listen. Go - I have been a scout in the prince's army for more than ten years, you can tell at a glance whether the people on the street are civilians or soldiers, so don't be angry." After finishing speaking, Kong Fanlin stuffed the wine glass into Feng Xiang's mouth. Holding it in his hand, he said with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Lu, let's have a drink together."

"General Kong, I'm not afraid that he will expose my whereabouts." Feng Xiang took the wine glass and said shamelessly: "I'm just afraid that he will miss the important matter of the prince. If that's the case, then I will die. gone."

"Okay, okay, I'll be in Guangdong soon, I can't miss it." Kong Fanlin smiled and touched the wine glass with Feng Xiang's, and was about to drink it up when someone knocked on the door of the private room. Jiao Didi and Tian Sisi's voice also drifted in, "Masters, can I come in and disturb you masters?"

"Is there a beautiful woman?!" Before the words finished, the eyes of Kong Fanlin and other palace guards lit up, and Xiao Erlang, who was beaten by Feng Xiang just now, shrugged his head and dared not speak, his eyes lit up even more, and he quickly raised his head and said: "Master, I dare to bet my head, just based on this voice, the appearance of the little lady outside is definitely not that bad, at least better than the young master you have in Dali City."

"The voice is pretty good, but what is she here for?" Feng Xiang also thought the voice was very pleasant, and he felt almost charming, but when he was sitting in a restaurant drinking wine, suddenly there was such a woman knocking on the door and begging to see him. Feng Xiang, who is less reckless, inevitably has some doubts.But Feng Xiang's doubts turned into doubts, Kong Fanlin and other guards over there couldn't wait to jump up and go to open the door, "Please come in, little lady, if you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly, you're welcome."

"Thank you, gentlemen." Amid Jiao Didi's promise, the woman raised her legs and walked into the room. After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Feng Xiang was quite vigilant, and he couldn't help but feel flustered immediately, his lower body trembled. Feeling a little hard.It turned out that the woman who came into the room was indeed quite well-born. Needless to say, her facial features were pretty and attractive. Her body was protruding and backwards. In ancient times, nutrition was generally deficient. Her skin was fair and tender. The only shortcoming was her mouth. A little big, but more than made up for it with ruddy lips.What's even more rare is that although this woman's clothes are ordinary, there is a kind of coquettishness that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, the kind of coquettishness that makes men feel the most primitive impulse.

In front of the woman's obsequiousness, Feng Xiang, who was suspicious, was still like this, let alone Kong Fanlin and others who had just come out of the mosquito camp, all of them lost their souls and stared at the woman fiercely. The guards simply swallowed their saliva.Facing the eyes of Kong Fanlin and other Laoqiu who looked like a wolf like a tiger, not only did the woman not feel restrained and nervous, but she flirtatiously winked at Feng Xiang and the others, and was blessed again. The others said: "Masters, the little girl is from Dongguan, Guangdong, her surname is Sun and her name is Yu'er. Greetings to you all."

"Miss Sun, please take a seat." Kong Fanlin was the first to wake up, and quickly stood up to give up his seat to Sun Yuer.Sun Yu'er was not too polite, and sat down between Kong Fanlin and Feng Xiang generously, and then cast a coquettish wink at Feng Xiang who had been keeping calm all this time, and asked softly: "Young master, look at your appearance and demeanor. , should be the master of all the masters here? Dare I ask what you call the young master?"

"Feng Xiang, I'm not their master, I'm just their friend." Feng Xiang replied very simply, with a very flat tone, neither humble nor overbearing, as if he turned a blind eye to Sun Yuer's flirtatious provocation.But Sun Yu'er was secretly surprised. With her beauty and means, so far, in front of her deliberate teasing, as long as the men are physically and psychologically normal, there are not many men who can maintain such calmness and calmness!In this way, Sun Yu'er, who hadn't fully figured out Feng Xiang's details, inevitably looked at Feng Xiang more highly, and thought to himself: "If this big fat man doesn't like Lord Rabbit, then he must be a difficult opponent. Be careful."

"Xiao Lang hoof!" Feng Xiang cursed inwardly, "Do you think you are so beautiful that every man would be tempted to see you? In the 21st century, I saw many beauties on the Internet, TV, and movies. Let’s go, if it’s not so coquettish for a first-class guy like you, maybe I’d still be tempted, but it’s a pity that you have become like this, brother, my virgin body is reluctant to give it to you casually.”
