The three of them continued to travel west, and met a lot of fleeing people on the way, and there were also routs, they brought the latest news, the standard battalion of the governor of Shandong and the rebels fought a big battle in Ruanchengdian, the official army was vulnerable, and fled in defeat, and the entire Xisanfu had no troops worthy of a battle to stop the rebels, and could only hope that Sun Junmen in Dengzhou could turn the tide.

Bai Lian said: "We must quickly find Wang Bao and follow his relationship into the rebels." If he is relied on as a wine bag and rice bag to preside over the overall situation, the rebels may be defeated in Dengzhou, and this great opportunity will be missed. ”

Xia Nan listened to their meaning, it should be to use the power of the rebels to contend with the imperial court, and then find a way to draw the rebels over for their own use, I have to say that this trick is much more useful than bewitching and coercing some unarmed people, the rebels have all done it in Liaodong and Houjin Zhendao and real guns, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of these Taiping officials in Shandong.

He interjected: "I don't know how you brainwash the rebels, whether they can be used by you, but don't worry about the rebels losing the battle." At least in the hands of Sun Yuanhua, the rebels will definitely not be defeated. ”

Bai Lian glanced at him with disdain, and said disdainfully: "You think you are Zhuge Kongming, you know astronomy and geography." Sun Yuanhua is the governor of Denglai, there are a lot of troops in Dengzhou City, as well as artillery, relying on the cannons of Jiancheng, the rebels can't please them. ”

"You woman still have some knowledge, but you only see the surface. I ask you, whose men were the rebels in the first place? ”

From the beginning of the idea of fighting the rebels, White Lotus and other White Lotus Sect members have inquired a lot about the rebels and know more about this army. She didn't even think about it: "Isn't it Sun Yuanhua?" ”

"That's right. The rebels were the old department of the original Dongjiang Town, because the chief soldier Mao Wenlong was killed, and he refused to accept the new chief soldier Huang Long, so he ran to Denglai to defect to Sun Yuanhua. Sun Yuanhua valued them for having fought with the Tartars, had rich experience and strong combat power, and entrusted them with important tasks. As far as I know, the rebels were sent to Liaodong for reinforcements, and they had no intention of rebelling, but because they were unwilling to provide food and grass along the way, they were hungry and starved, and they killed people and attacked the city in a fit of anger. Now although the rebels are in turmoil, they have not raised the banner of rebellion, as long as Sun Yuanhua has a glimmer of possibility, he will think of appeasement and keep his official position, so when the rebels arrive in Dengzhou, there will definitely be no big war. ”

Bai Lian and Bai Xiaoxian looked at him incredulously, Bai Xiaoxian turned his head to look at the master again, and said, "Master, when he said this, it seems to make some sense, the officials do have these twists and turns. ”

Bai Lian snorted, unwilling to admit it: "What you said one by one, the rebels have already conquered so many cities, and killed so many people and officials, can they still come back?" ”

"You are wrong again, as long as you don't raise the flag and openly rebel, and the officials and soldiers can't beat it, no matter how you kill people and set fires, the court will pinch your nose and recruit peace." Xia Nan has a lot of say in this, because he did it like this, and he succeeded.

Bai Lian was refuted by him one after another, but she couldn't find a reason to fight back, flicked her sleeves, turned her face to the side and ignored him.

Bai Xiaoxian leaned over curiously and asked, "How do you know so much, aren't you a businessman?" By the way, I've been holding you for so long, and I still don't know your name? ”

Xia Nan smiled: "In the next Xia Nan." I also want to ask the girl, you and your master are both surnamed Bai and are relatives? ”

Bai Xiaoxian pursed her lips and smiled: "No, my parents died when I was a child, I was raised by my uncle, and I was sold to the Qinglou at the age of fourteen." Later, my master brought me out of that place and named me Xiaoxian, and my surname was from my master. ”

It turned out that she was shrewd in private but had such a miserable life experience, Xia Nan said: "I'm sorry, white girl, I don't know your life experience, you shouldn't talk too much." ”

Bai Xiaoxian didn't care: "It's okay, I don't have my parents to grow up like this, although the master is powerful, but he is very good to me, and he also taught me kung fu, I can leave the place where I entertain people and laugh all day long, and follow the master to travel all over the world, free and easy, I am very content." ”

She stared at Xia Nan, and said: "When I was in the Qinglou, I met many dignitaries and young masters, they all took a fancy to my appearance, but no one ever cared about my life experience, even if they knew, they were indifferent, maybe in their eyes, I was just a beautiful skin, and they didn't care about the rest, you were the first to ask me about my life experience and apologize to me." ”

Xia Nan was a little ashamed, in fact, it wasn't that he was noble, it was just because he came from a modern society where everyone was equal, and the three views were naturally more magnificent than the son of the feudal society. He coughed and said to the white: "White girl, don't think too highly of me, I like your appearance just like those people." However, I will first see you as an equal person, everyone in the world should be equal, everyone is born and raised by parents, no matter what kind of business you do, there is no distinction between high and low. ”

Bai Lian originally turned her face to them and didn't say a word, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but say yes, she turned her head: "All people are created equal, there is no distinction between high and low, you have never listened to my White Lotus teachings, but you understand this truth, and I have a relationship with it." If you are willing to convert to my White Lotus Sect, I can take you as a disciple, and in terms of the Yangguang Great White Lotus Sect alone, you are more qualified than Xian'er. ”

Apprentice? Xia Nan's head suddenly became bigger, he didn't want to join the cult, and he didn't want to worship any teacher.

Bai Lian didn't show his abnormality, and said to herself: "Originally, I just wanted to catch you and raise a sum of money for the sect." But after just a few days of contact, now your nature is not bad, your qualifications are good, and you have a lot of insight into the current situation, and you are a talent that can be created. There are a lot of scum in this religion who are swaggering and deceiving, greedy for enjoyment, but there is a lack of talents like you. is still the same sentence, you worship me as a teacher, I will take you into the teaching, and our master and apprentice will work together to create a great cause. ”

Bai Xiaoxian looked at Xia Nan worriedly, and whispered to the master, "Master, you don't have to be strong. At first glance, he is a child of a big family, he is so familiar with officialdom, maybe he was born in a family of eunuchs, if you let him join the church, it is a rebellion against the court, wouldn't it make him isolate himself from his family? ”

Xia Nan's eyes lit up, this is an excellent reason, and he immediately hit the snake with the stick, "Fairy Gu, I also want to worship you as a teacher, learn kung fu, and act chivalrous." But when it comes to joining the church, that's right, although my family is not a scholarly family, but the family has also been a jinshi, if it weren't for my unintentional fame, I would have entered Beijing to take the exam, my father is loyal to the imperial court, if I just entered your religion, first of all, I would be unfilial to my father! "In fact, where did he come from his father after the crossing, it's just an excuse. 8
