Chapter 279: A Bastard with a Conscience (2nd Update)
"Don't worry, my lord, I can't joke with my own life, can I? Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Cheng Shiyu smiled: "You must not have noticed what I was wearing that day, right?"
"Oh?" Chang Wei's eyes lit up and said, "You were wearing a volunteer battalion uniform at that time?"
"That's right!" Cheng Shiyu smacked his mouth and sighed: "The fresh red army uniform and black leather boots, with a black iron helmet covering his head and face, and wearing a sweat towel to cover his nose, the majesty is still secondary, and no one can recognize me from the crowd." ”
This guy is really clever!
At that moment, he wrote a letter and sent a detour to Yang Guosheng, the chief military officer stationed in Yi County, agreeing to send troops to attack. Although Chang Wei expressed doubts about Yang Guosheng's ability to send troops to cooperate with him, he still had to do things to save face.
Called Tang Jinyi, Beidou Jiuzi, Huikong, Ma Yuan and Dai Qingxin, set a statement, and used coercion and temptation to buy one or twenty captives who yearned for glory and wealth, and waited until dawn to row two small fishing boats to Xia Town.
Huang Chongwu stayed in the nearby waters, hid his ship in Zhaoyang Island, and let the remaining captives cruise around in the captured boats, making the illusion of business as usual and preparing to meet Chang Wei at any time.
It was only more than 20 miles from the easternmost part of Zhaoyang Island to the entrance of the river to the west of Xia Town, and when Chang Wei and the others arrived, it was already breakfast time.
Cheng Shiyu pointed to the oncoming stone cliff that went deep into the lake and said: "That is the mouth of Xia Lake, there is a Xia Lake in Xia Town, and there is a Xia Lake in Xia Town, which is separated from the East Canal and Zhaoyang Lake. ”
The cliff resembles a long bird's beak, with a lighthouse built high above the lake, surrounded by reefs, and the three-zhang wide waterway to the north is the main channel leading to Xia Town.
Chang Wei said in a low voice: "There is no artillery in such a good location of the lighthouse, it is enough to block the waterway without two more cannons, don't the people of the White Lotus Sect know how to use soldiers?"
Cheng Shiyu said: "My lord, all the people that the White Lotus Sect can deceive are fools and fools, and there are many people to fight. The only one who knows a little about the art of war is just a talented person, where are there so many talents. ”
Dai Qingxin's beautiful eyes showed brilliance, and she nodded: "This Cheng brother is right. In fact, there are some artillery birds captured by the White Lotus Sect, but there are few who can really use people, even if the artillery is placed here, it is also an ornament, it is better to withdraw people and use bows and arrows to come freely. ”
"Fortunately, the White Lotus Sect is not that strong, otherwise it would be troublesome. Listening to the words of the two, Chang Wei felt a little relieved.
In fact, this is also the reason why the White Lotus Sect has occupied too short a place and occupies too important places, if they are allowed to occupy a remote and barren place, the imperial court will not pay much attention to not sending capable ministers to encircle and suppress it in the future, and mix it for a year or two, and the strength at that time will definitely be much stronger than now.
Traveling along the waterway for two miles and passing the mouth of the Xia Lake, there is a crescent-shaped inlet in front of it, there is a group of men with knives, guns and sticks on the small pier and the surrounding highlands, and more than 20 small and medium-sized boats in the waterway are patrolling back and forth, and they know that they are the people of the White Lotus Sect by looking at the white lotus signs on the men.
When they saw them coming in, a small speedboat immediately rushed over, and the man at the bow shouted, "What are you doing? Stop the boat and dock! Everyone is out!"
"It's finally time to meet the White Lotus Sect!" Chang Wei steadied himself and glanced at everyone.
Cheng Shiyu immediately smiled and ripped off his coat to reveal the clothes with the white lotus logo inside, and said, "Brother, my own people, my home is in Xia Town." ”
The man didn't give any face, and shouted: "What are your own people? What are you called? How old are you? What are you doing? Don't be hippie and smiley, say!"
Cheng Shiyu sank his face, pointed at the man and scolded: "I'll fuck your mother, don't you kid give me a shame? You don't ask your mother, Lao Tzu's name is Cheng Shiyu, who doesn't recognize me in Xia Town? Do you recognize my father? The incense master of Weishan County! Do you kid want to blackmail me for money? I'll tell you that the door doesn't!"
The man's face couldn't be hung up, and he turned his head to the shore and shouted: "Is he really from Xia Zhen?
Two little minions with bamboo guns ran up to take a look and said, "Oh, it's Cheng Ershao, I haven't seen you for a while, and I heard that you went outside to work fat." ”
Cheng Shiyu smiled and said perfunctorily to one of them: "Hey, aren't you Xia Sanzi, why did you run to the mouth of the lake?"
"Unlucky, a few days ago, I drank wine and was on duty in the county office, and I was caught by the saint and sent to come to see the door. It's good for you to come back, help the little one, and transfer me back. ”
Cheng Shiyu snorted: "Besides, I'm also unlucky this time, if my father doesn't break my leg when I go back, I'll find a big guy to get together." ”
Looking at the man on this patrol boat, of course he understood that Cheng Shiyu was his own family, so he rowed the boat aside and let go of these two boats.
Xia Sanzi was still nagging, "What can happen? Master Cheng has been shouting for many years to break your legs, and it's not good now, alas, are you leaving......?"
When it was far away, Chang Wei smiled and said: "You can mix it up, that little soldier is afraid that he will be scolded by his boss when he goes back." ”
Cheng Shiyu's face was a little unnatural, and he said: "My father was thirteen years old when he rowed a small boat on the canal to sell grain, and in forty years, he changed from a poor boy to one of the richest families in Xia Town. From Jining Mansion to Xuzhou Mansion, to Yixian County in the east and Pei County in the west, I really knew a lot of nobles, but what can I do if I have money? I am not looked down upon! ”
"I have been smart and courageous since I was a child, and my father has been looking at me for a lift, and I will be proud of my ancestors. But I became a prodigal, relying on the money in my family to gather a bunch of bastard boys like Xia Sanzi, and shouting five and six prestige on the canal. My father was half angry to death, he couldn't beat him, he didn't listen, he could only let me, alas, he really pity the hearts of parents in the world. ”
Cheng Shiyu looked at Chang Wei with blank eyes, and said: "Actually, he joined the White Lotus Sect, not because he wanted to rebel and cause trouble, but because of this glorious ancestor Yaozu's desire to get ahead, but after all, his knowledge was limited, and he bet on the wrong treasure." ”
"This guy is really smart, and he directly begged me to let his family go, for fear that I would misunderstand him and be proud of his achievements. Going around such a big circle to win sympathy can really achieve the goal. Although Chang Wei saw through Cheng Shiyu's thoughts, he didn't feel disgusted at all, but appreciated him even more, who doesn't like smart and sensible subordinates?
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, it's a good point. Looks like you're still a bastard with a conscience. ”
Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "When the White Lotus Sect is defeated, your family will not only be innocent, but meritorious." I can't guarantee how big an official it is, but it's not up to you to pick the head, experience, integrity, and integrity?"
Cheng Shiyu fell to his knees in front of Chang Wei with a puff. (To be continued.) )
