The victorious Ming army took the rescued Jiang Zhiping and five Han women, more than 1,200 taels of gold, more than 100 stone of grain, more than 1,000 catties of brass, hundreds of iron farm tools, and more than 60 female prisoners, and embarked on the return journey back to Pontianak.

Chu Ba, who served as a guide for the Ming army, was also elated, and after returning along the same road with the Ming army, he immediately returned to his tribe, gathered young men, and went to the Putra cottage to carry the spoils.

Although it is moldy rice, rags that have been worn by others, ceramics with missing horns, bitter coarse salt, and expired rice wine, as well as some moldy venison jerky, hare jerky and other items that the Han people look down on, but these things are treasures in the eyes of Chu Ha and his people! The general of the Ming Dynasty generously rewarded himself in this way, which made him feel that he must do more things for the generals of the Ming Dynasty in the future in order to get more rewards.

Wang Xinyu returned to the military tent, but saw a girl wearing a goose-yellow Luo shirt sitting in his big tent.

Seeing Wang Xinyu walking into the big tent, the girl stood up, walked in front of Wang Xinyu without saying anything, her apricot eyes widened, and she glared at Wang Xinyu angrily: "Why did you stun me?" ”

Wang Xinyu was stunned for a moment, only to see that this girl's skin was better than snow, her appearance was beautiful, and her figure was exquisite. But if you look closely, this girl feels very familiar. Suddenly he understood: Who is this not the little son of the Pan family! So he shouted: "Little boy, I am also afraid that you are in danger, so I ......"

"It's still called someone else's little boy!" The girl was a little unhappy, thinking that this guy was stupid enough, and she couldn't even tell whether she was a man or a woman.

"Miss Pan, I'm also afraid that you will be injured, so I have to make this decision."

Pan Ying snorted: "Hmph! How do I compensate for injuring Miss Ben? ”

Wang Xinyu only felt that this girl's voice was very good, her big eyes were shining, the two were very close to each other, and a girl's fragrance came to her nose, which was very comfortable. When Wang Xinyu was thinking about how to respond, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked: "Miss Pan, you speak so well, why did you change your voice a few days ago?" ”

Pan Ying smiled, and her eyes turned into a cute crescent shape: "What's so difficult about that, the voice change method is just a small skill for Miss Ben." Miss Ben is also fluent in various Chinese! ”

"Oh, you say, what language do you know?"

"Miss Ben will be much better!" Pan Ying folded her hands and counted, "Sulu language, and the words of several Sulu tribes." Nanyang also speaks Siamese, Annamite, Aceh, Burmese; Franc, Italian, Dutch, Italian, Dutch; There will also be some big food language in the Middle East. ”

"Do you know English?"

"English? This really won't be, after all, the British don't have much to come. But Miss Ben will learn quickly. ”

Only then did Wang Xinyu know that this Pan Ying was actually a language genius! There are so many languages, if you let yourself learn them, you can't learn them even if you die. But this girl doesn't know English, and she still has something better than her, haha!

In a camp tent, Jiang Zhiping, who was sent back, lay unconscious on the bed, and Miss Liu sat on the side, tears dripping down Jiang Zhiping's face.

"Brother Jiang, you must wake up! If you can't live, the concubine won't live either! Miss Liu whimpered.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Zhiping regained a little consciousness, he felt that his head was about to explode, and the wounds on his body were hurting everywhere. No, why is there a sound of a girl crying? Listen to the voice, like your favorite Miss Liu! He tried hard to open his eyes, and a blurred face in front of him gradually became clear, who was this not Miss Liu!

"Miss Liu! How are you here! I was also caught by Shengfan? Jiang Zhiping found that he was not tied up, so he quickly sat up, "Miss Liu! Let's get out of here! ”

"Brother Jiang, you're awake! I'm scared to death of a concubine! Miss Liu ignored her shyness and hugged Jiang Zhiping tightly, "Brother Jiang, you have been rescued, this is the barracks of the Ming army." ”

"Am I saved?" Jiang Zhiping didn't react for a while.

"Hmmm! It was General Wang who led people to kill those Shengfan and save you, Brother Jiang. There are also Aunt Chen, Sister-in-law Zhang, Sister Chen, Second Sister Zhang, and Miss Zhao, all of whom were rescued. ”

Miss Liu's soft, fragrant and jade-like body was attached to her arms, and her soft breasts were attached to her body, which made Jiang Zhiping feel a little impulsive, and he only felt that his lower body was a little hot. However, his health is not yet well, and this reaction caused severe pain in his body. So he leaned back a little, leaned on the pillow, and reached out to gently stroke Miss Liu's hair.

"Damn girl! And shameless! They haven't married yet, that's it, what kind of system is this! How can I get married in the future! Outside the tent, a middle-aged woman was heard scolding.

Miss Liu turned around and saw her mother standing outside with her hands on her hips like a dominatrix, pointing at the bridge of her nose and scolding. She was anxious at the time: "Mother! If no one of her daughters is married, she will marry Brother Jiang! ”

"Good girl! Grows up and has stiff wings, isn't it? Aunt Liu felt that the scolding was not enjoyable and rushed into the tent, pointing at Jiang Zhiping and scolding, "Stinky boy! Don't look at you saving my daughter! If you want to marry her, tell you that your daughter is not raised for nothing, and give the old lady two cows and five fat pigs as a bride price! Also, gold and silver jewelry for my daughter! The old lady is not very demanding, a pair of gold hairpins, a pair of silver bracelets! If you can't get anything, you don't want to marry my daughter!" ”

In fact, the two young men who dragged Miss Liu back later were a pair of brothers. The younger brother also liked Miss Liu, and expressed his willingness to take two cows and five pigs as a bride price. And Aunt Liu saw that Jiang Zhiping's family was poor and couldn't take out so many things, so she wanted to marry her daughter to that family.

"Mother! Brother Jiang was injured to save his daughter! He's not healed yet, don't do that to him. Miss Liu stopped her mother and persuaded her bitterly.

Aunt Liu didn't give up: "The poor boy still wants to marry my daughter? Daydream about it! ”

"Who is making a loud noise in the forbidden barracks?" Someone outside asked.

Aunt Liu was startled and turned her head, only to see Wang Xinyu and a beautiful woman standing behind.

"General, the grass people are here to bring their daughter home! My daughter is not sensible, please forgive me! Aunt Liu hurriedly saluted.

Wang Xinyu sneered: "The forbidden place in the military camp, no loud noise!" If it is a soldier of this officer, make a loud noise in the barracks, a hundred military sticks! Aunt Liu, you say, what is the general going to do with you! ”

Hearing that she was going to fight a hundred military sticks, Aunt Liu was so frightened that her face was like earth, and she quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and broke her forehead: "The general spares his life!" The women really don't know! As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, please be gracious to the general! ”

Wang Xinyu sneered again: "Some people kill people, and they keep saying that they don't know that they have to pay for their lives, should General Ben spare him once and let him kill again for the second time before dealing with it?" ”

Aunt Liu cried: "General, if these 100 military sticks are beaten, the women will die!" It's a small matter if the woman dies, but the daughter is still young, and it's all up to the woman! Please spare the people's women! ”

Wang Xinyu smiled: "Then I won't beat you with a military stick!" Saying that, Wang Xinyu turned his head to Pan Ying and said: "Ying'er, this is the station of the Nanyang Company's escort team, it should have been your grandfather who is the boss here, but he is not here, so let's take care of this matter, Ying'er!" ”

Pan Ying smiled, and a pair of crescent eyes looked even more cute and charming, but what she said made Aunt Liu nervous to the extreme: "Aunt Liu, Miss Ben can not beat you with a military stick, but if you make noise in the military camp, you will definitely be punished!" ”

"What punishment?" Aunt Liu was very nervous.

When Wang Xinyu went out to fight, this Pan Ying chatted with Miss Liu who stayed in the barracks for a long time and learned about Jiang Zhiping. At this time, she had the heart to fulfill this pair of lovers, so she said: "In this way, the punishment is that your daughter is not allowed to receive a bride price, and she will be married to Jiang Zhiping immediately!" ”

Miss Liu and Jiang Zhiping were overjoyed, and Miss Liu hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Miss Pan, thank you General Wang!" ”

Jiang Zhiping was overjoyed in his heart, and regardless of the pain on his body, he struggled to get out of bed and thanked Wang Xinyu and Pan Ying again and again.

But at this time, there was a person who felt that the world was spinning, as if he had been beaten with a stick.

"Ahh Aunt Liu only felt that she was almost about to faint, "The folk woman is just a daughter, and she pulls so much and urine, so she gets married like this, and she hasn't got a penny of the bride price, how will the folk woman live in the future!" ”

"Mother, my daughter will take care of my mother!" Miss Liu hurriedly hugged her mother.

Jiang Zhiping didn't care about the injuries on his body, and knelt in front of Aunt Liu: "Auntie, my nephew will often come to take care of your old man in the future!" ”

Aunt Liu said angrily: "It's still called aunt!" General Wang and Miss Pan both opened their mouths to get married! What else can the old body do? ”

"Mother!" Jiang Zhiping shouted.

In fact, Wang Xinyu and Pan Ying were still a little scared in their hearts just now: if this Aunt Liu asked for money and didn't want to die, and insisted on receiving a bride price with a military stick, it would be a headache. Fortunately, this Aunt Liu softened at once, so it became a good thing, and when the two husbands and wives are happy together in the future, they will definitely remember their kindness.

"Let's go, let's go outside and let their family reunite here." Wang Xinyu greeted Pan Yingdao.

The two walked out of the big tent side by side, leaving Jiang Zhiping, Aunt Liu and Miss Liu inside.

After walking a little in the barracks, Pan Ying saw that there were many wooden cages hanging in the barracks, and there were many women who were locked in wooden cages. She asked, "General, who are these people?" ”

Wang Xinyu said: "These are the captives we captured, and they are temporarily locked up here." ”

"These women are black and ugly, are you interested in them?" Pan Ying was obviously very dissatisfied, and she was just smiling, but suddenly made a straight face.

Wang Xinyu hurriedly explained: "It's not that we are interested in these women, but that the Dutch will be interested in them!" We're going to sell them to Java! ”

Pan Ying was stunned, turned her head and stared at Wang Xinyu in a daze: "What about the other students?" ”

"Kill them all! Not a single one! Wang Xinyu replied disapprenously.

Pan Ying was very surprised: "Why are you so ruthless?" Although they are raw, they are also human beings. ”

"They killed our old people and children, they kidnapped our women, should we Han people be slaughtered? I can only kill to stop killing, and fight violence with violence! ”

"But if only you killed the murderer, those women, as well as children and old people, they are not guilty."

"Their children will remember our hatred and can't guarantee that they won't seek revenge on us in the future! Their old men, can you guarantee that they have not killed us Han people before? As for these women, we saved them by selling them! If you stay in the mountains, you are guaranteed to be eaten by other raw people soon! If you want to talk about mercy, when the emperor's family kills people, isn't it the Zhulian Nine Clans? Why? It's just afraid of revenge! Wang Xinyu knows that this era is not an era of benevolence and human rights, and that those who commit crimes can only be killed.

"General!" Jiang Zhiping didn't know when he came out, so he knelt in front of Wang Xinyu, "Please accept the grass people!" The grass people want to join the army! ”

"Why did you join the army? You're about to get married, and you have to take care of your family. Wang Xinyu turned around and asked.

"Because of the general's life-saving grace, the marriage of the grass people has been accomplished! The grass people have no way to repay, it just so happens that the grass people are originally a small soldier, and they can only repay the general by joining the army! ”

Wang Xinyu nodded with a smile: "Okay!" Jiang Zhiping! I know you're a hot-blooded guy with a lot of skills! I can take you here, but you are not participating in the Ming Army, but the Nanyang Company Escort! In the future, your treatment will be two taels of silver per month! From today onwards, you will be a soldier of the Nanyang Company's escort team! ”

"General, I don't want to join the company's escort team, I want to join the Ming army."

"It's the same, actually! The company escort is also a regular army! Most of the Ming troops who came this time will be turned into the Nanyang Company Escort Team. General Ben will treat this company's escort team and my Ming army equally! And if you behave well in the future, you can directly enter the Ming army, and you will be an officer! ”

"Oh well! Then I'll join the Nanyang Company Escort Team! ”

At this time, Pan Ying had already gone to Aunt Liu and Miss Liu's tent to chat with them.

"Okay, you don't have to say anything, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, Miss Ben will be in charge, and Miss Liu will marry Ah Jiang on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Pan Ying said happily.

Aunt Liu had a sad face, she was thinking that her daughter was raising so much, but she didn't get a penny of the bride price, and she was very unwilling.

Pan Ying was still smiling, looking at Aunt Liu's sad face, she took out a silver ingot with ten taels and handed it to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, this ingot is a dowry gift I gave you for Ajiang!" ”
