Chapter 169: Searching for the Rebels 1

readx;

Nothing was said all night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe next day, the three of them continued on their way.

Leaving Huang County, the master and apprentice took him straight to the west, and a few days later they entered the territory of Laizhou Mansion.

Xia Nan looked at this route more and more wrong, and asked, "Where are you going?" If you go on like this, you will encounter rebels. Do the rebels understand? Kong Youde made a rebellion, I heard that many states and counties have been defeated, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, even if you have a body of martial arts, you will be sent to death in front of the army. ā€

The two glanced at each other and said, "We're just going to find the rebels!" ā€

In the summer, Nan was in a hurry, and if there was still a chance to get out in their hands, then there would be no chance of survival when they encountered the red-eyed rebels.

The master looked at him in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile: "Seeing that you were tied up by us, you were not in such a hurry, and as soon as you heard the rebels, you were in a mess."

Xia Nan was stunned for a while, it turned out that she would laugh when she was cold, and she actually looked good when she smiled. Seeing him staring at him, the master immediately regained his cold demeanor, and said coldly: "Look at what, look at it and dig out all your eyeballs." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and straightened his head.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, her sleeves slipped down, revealing her lotus-like arms, and Xia Nan couldn't help but take a few more looks. This saw a pattern carved into her wrist. This ice beauty still has tattoos?

If you look closely, the pattern is a flower with wide and oval petals, like lotus flowers, and dyed white, which stands out on the crystal arms. He blurted out: "White Lotus? ā€

The faces of the master and apprentice changed greatly, and they all looked at him.

Xia Nan repeated: "White Lotus? Thinking of them mentioning that they were going to do something big, and then thinking of them deliberately looking for the rebels, a guess came to his mind. He couldn't help but take two steps back and muttered to himself, "White Lotus Sect? ā€

The master raised his arm, and there was a delicate hidden blade in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed at his throat, and asked coldly, "Who are you, how do you know my name, and how do you know that we are from the White Lotus Sect?" ā€

It turned out that her name was White Lotus, and she was still a member of the White Lotus Sect, and a chill rose in Xia Nan's heart that she had never felt before.

The term White Lotus Sect gives him the impression that it is a mysterious religious organization, often associated with rebellion, and the old time and space and movies have infinitely demonized this organization, and there are often scenes where large families are deceived into the religion, bankrupt, and ruined.

The sword in the woman's hand was only a few tenths of a centimeter from his throat, and he replied that the slightest mistake was a tragedy of a sharp blade cutting his throat.

Xia Nan took a deep breath to calm himself down, and his sentences were as smooth as possible to avoid irritating the other party: "I am just an ordinary businessman, and I came to Shandong for the first time in my life. I don't know you, I don't know your name, I just looked at the pattern on your hand and said it unintentionally, I have heard of the White Lotus Sect, but I never thought that you were from the White Lotus Sect. ā€

Bai Lian didn't make a sound, staring into his eyes. For a long time, to make sure he wasn't lying, the Hidden Blade in his hand was lowered a little, but it was still aimed at his throat.

"I, the White Lotus, are indeed from the White Lotus Sect, since you accidentally guessed it, I won't hide it. Knowing my name and identity, you have two choices, first, join the White Lotus Sect and worship the unborn old mother together; Second, he died by my sword and was reduced to a pile of dry bones. ā€

It was a tough choice. Of course, Xia Nan didn't want to die, but he didn't want to join the White Lotus Sect, this sect wanted nothing more than to use the doctrine to deceive some ignorant fools and foolish women, defraud money, and rebel when the time was ripe.

Bai Xiaoxian, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded: "Master, how can you force people to join the sect like this, no wonder you can't fight Wang Bao." He is now in a good situation, his disciples are like clouds, and he has also entered the rebels, if he is allowed to seize the opportunity this time, and the rebels are used by him, how can the White Lotus Sect in Shandong still have a foothold for you? ā€

Xia Nan was shocked when he heard this, this is very informative!

Bai Lian replied disdainfully: "Wang Bao is the scum of my White Lotus Sect, he uses some witchcraft to coax ignorant fools and foolish women all day long, and deceives people of money, and those disciples next to him are also some drunken and meaty people, where do they understand the doctrine?" Don't be a disciple like that. ā€

Bai Xiaoxian pursed her lips and stopped making a sound.

Xia Nan couldn't help but slander, you said that people cheated people about their money, but you robbed it with open fire, how good is it?

Fortunately, after this interruption, Bai Lian did not mention the matter of letting him join the sect for the time being, and Xia Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Lian pinched her fingers and calculated, and said, "I have left a letter for your subordinates, asking him to send five thousand taels of silver to redeem your life." Today is the second day of the lunar month, and after ten days, there will be no silver, so I can only send you on the road. ā€

Xia Nan was shocked and said loudly: "I said that I am from Qiongzhou Mansion, and the ten-day deadline, do you think my people will fly?" Also, you have no brains and only set a deadline, not a fixed location, even if you have money, where to send it? ā€

Bai Lian replied coldly: "You said that you are from Qiongzhou Mansion, do I believe you?" Qiongzhou Mansion is so far away from Shandong, how could you come all the way to Dengzhou? Why don't you say that you are from Yungui, so you are delaying time! As for the location, don't worry, I have a dark line in Dengzhou and Laizhou, so naturally there will be a way to connect with your subordinates. ā€

"You are really unreasonable, I am really from Qiongzhou, and I came to Dengzhou to dig coal......"

"This is even more unreliable, how can you run from Qiongzhou to Dengzhou to dig coal with such a generous shot? Coal is worth a few bucks, and it's not a big deal. ā€

Xia Nan pointed at her, speechless. It's really a summer worm can't talk about ice, how can I explain to this kind of woman that digging coal is for coking, coking is for ironmaking, and ironmaking is for casting cannons?

"Can't speak, huh? Can't make it up, can you? And if you dig coal in Shandong, there is always silver in the mine, right? ā€

Xia Nan replied depressedly: "I bought a small coal mine in Huang County, but now the army is in chaos, and the miners have been dismissed!" At this time, who would dare to leave a large sum of money in Tenglai Province and wait for the rebels to rob it? ā€

"Then I don't care, anyway, I will naturally release you when I receive the silver. Remember, the ten-day period. ā€

Xia Nan gave up arguing and said weakly: "I only have one request, can I be lenient for a few days, I am really from Qiongzhou, as long as I contact my people, my ship has a way to run back and forth from Dengzhou to Qiongzhou in half a month." ā€

Bai Lian didn't say anything with a straight face, and it seemed that she didn't bother to discuss such an outrageous issue.

Bai Xiaoxian couldn't help but speak: "It's not that Master and I haven't gone to sea by boat, it's okay to go around the sea in Shandong for half a month, go back and forth to Qiongzhou Mansion, you really treat us as three-year-old children!" Although we have never been to Qiongzhou, we have heard that it takes half a year to go back and forth to Guangdong. ā€

The taste of telling the truth and no one believing it is uncomfortable, and the summer south is depressed. The sage said, only villains and women are difficult to raise, I don't deceive me, I can even fool the governor, but I can't handle two women. It seems that he can only resign himself to fate, I just hope that the master and apprentice are not extremely vicious, and what they say is powerful, and they can let themselves go when the time comes.
