Chapter 40 The Red Lady

Jining has now become the nest of the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect has a long history. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was born into a White Lotus Sect. Later, after he became a member of the world, he thought the White Lotus Sect was too dangerous, so he banned it. However, the White Lotus Sect never really died, but instead transformed into various names and survived tenaciously.

But no matter how the name is changed, the White Lotus Sect is always the White Lotus Sect.

There is a leader in the White Lotus Sect, and the leader is all female, also known as the Virgin of White Lotus, or the Mother of No Life. There is a Saint of White Lotus, a White Lotus Envoy on the left and right, and the Master of Thirty-Six Incense Hall, and then the believers.

Jining Prefecture.

The left envoy of Bailian Li Qingshan entered Yaxuan under the guidance of two maids. Yaxuan was divided into two rooms inside and outside by a pearl curtain. A graceful figure sat upright behind the curtain. Li Qingshan quickly bent his knees and knelt down, bowing and bowing, saying, "The left envoy of Bailian Li Qingshan, who is the only one who is in charge of the leader, wishing the leader the immortal blessing and longevity and a lifetime of heaven."

"Get up."

A lazy and soft voice came from behind the curtain.

"Thank you, Master."

Only then did Li Qingshan dare to get up and stand respectfully on one side, not even breathing.

A lazy and gentle voice asked, "Bai Lian Zunzeng, I heard that a hero named Liu Badao is going to join the group?"

"I am preparing to report this to the leader." Li Qingshan responded hurriedly, "I am also going to report to the leader. This brother Liu Badao has brought great news."

"Oh, don't know what good news?"

"Brother Liu Badao said that there were a number of officials escorting a large number of ginseng, Dongzhu and gold and silver had arrived in Luqiao Town, and they were about to arrive in Jining."

"It seems that this is true." said the leader of the White Lotus Sect. "Two days ago, I also received news from Nanjing that the general of Datong, Wang Pu, had escorted a large number of ginseng, and Dongzhu and gold and silver set off north. They will arrive in Jining soon, so that I can prepare in advance."

Li Qingshan said: "Master, Wang Pu has plundered a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from Liaodong, so he cannot be let go easily."

"Of course I can't let it go, but Wang Pu is not easy to mess with." said the leader of Bailian Sect, "Come on, please invite Bailian's Right Envoy and General Li and his wife to go to the mansion to discuss matters."

"I will follow the law."

Two maids took the order and left.

In less than a cup of tea, Bai Lianyou sent Yuan Shizhong and a young man and a pair of young men and women entered Yaxuan under the guidance of the maid. Yuan Shizhong had nothing to say about five short figures, but the young men and women were both outstanding figures.

Especially the young woman, not only has a beautiful face, but also has angered figure! The places that should be protruding are protruding enough, the places that should be thin enough, and the places that should be raised are protruding enough, and the fiery red outfit is like tailor-made for her, outlining the perfect curves to the fullest.

And those big, watery eyes, as if they can speak, can really catch people's souls.

This young man and woman are nothing else. They are Li Yan, the King of Breakings, who was sent by Li Zicheng, to help the White Lotus Sect, and the Hong Niangzi and his wife. There are three thousand elite soldiers with them.

"The subordinate Bai Lian's right envoy Yuan Shizhong bowed to the leader."

"See the leader."

Yuan Shizhong knelt down and worshiped as usual, but Li Yan and Hong Madam just bowed with fists.

"General Li and his wife are exempted from gifts, and Bai Lian's right envoy is exempt from gifts." The lazy and gentle voice of the leader of the White Lotus Sect sounded from behind the curtain, "I have someone invite you to come, and I want to discuss it with you."

Li Yan said: "Please tell me, leader."

The leader of the White Lotus Sect said: "I have received news that Wang Pu, the general general of Datong of the Ming court, led the brigade of officers and soldiers from the waterway to Luqiao Town. The Ming army's warships also carried a large number of ginseng, Dongzhu, gold and silver. I want to intercept this batch of property and use it to recruit soldiers and horses. I wonder what you think?"

Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong responded respectfully: "I will let the leader send a condemnation."

Li Yan thought for a while and asked, "Master, I wonder how many official troops Wang Pu brought?"

The leader of the White Lotus Sect replied in a charming voice: "Not many, only two thousand people."

Li Yan asked, "I don't know how the leader plans to do it?"

The leader of the White Lotus Sect said: "I believe that the official army will be stationed in Luqiao Town tonight. In order to avoid the long and long dreams, I want to ask General Li and his wife to lead the army to attack overnight. Of course, I will also ask the left envoy of Bailian to lead 5,000 elite troops to cooperate with your actions."

Li Yan frowned and said nothing. He knew the best of how powerful the Bailian Sect's army had. Just the more than 5,000 people under Li Qingshan's men were more appropriate than the army. It was more appropriate to say that they were mobs! In fact, the White Lian bandits could capture Jining because of the three thousand elite soldiers under Li Yan and Hong Niangzi?

With Li Yan and the three thousand elite soldiers under Hong Niangzi, it was no problem to defeat two thousand officials, but the problem was that the chief general of this group of officials was not someone else, but Wang Pu, the general general of Datong of the Ming court!

Wang Pu led his alone army to the hinterland of Liaodong, destroying the Jiannu's nest Shengjing in one fell swoop and capturing the slave chief Huang Taiji alive, now everyone knows it. Li Yan and Hong Niangzi and his wife have naturally heard of it. If you fight with such a powerful opponent, you have to be careful at all times.

What's more, Wang Pu's official army came by water, and the cannons on the official army's warships were not vegetarians.

Seeing that Li Yan was silent for a long time, the leader of the White Lotus Sect asked in a charming voice: "What, is General Li having any difficulties?"

Li Yan said: "Master, Wang Pu is a powerful figure, and there are extremely powerful artillery on the warships of the official army. It is probably difficult for our army to go to the sneak attack rashly. The young general thought that if he wanted to seize the huge wealth from Wang Pu, he should not do it recklessly and could only take it by wisdom."

The leader of the White Lotus Sect said, "I wonder how General Li plans to learn from the truth?"

Li Yan said: "The leader can send someone to set up a river-blocking iron cable in the north and south water gates of Jining. He just waited for the official army to enter the city and then snatch the river-blocking iron cable. Even if Wang Pu and his huge wealth are put on their hands, they will not be able to fly away."

"Well, General Li is indeed well-known." The leader of the White Lotus Sect said in a charming voice, "Bai Lian left envoy and Bai Lian right envoy, have you heard it? Just follow what General Li said and immediately set up a river-blocking cable in the north and south water gates!"

"I am obeying the law of the leader."

Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong responded respectfully and took the order and left.

The next day.

When Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong were leading people to set up iron chains on river blocks, they suddenly made a detailed return that Wang Pu led the official army to the shore in Luqiao Town and instead headed for Qingzhou by land. Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong did not dare to be negligent, so they hurried to report to the White Lotus Sect Leader, who urgently summoned Li Yan and Hong Niangzi and his wife.

Li Yan asked, "Is something wrong if the leader is so anxious to summon him?"

The leader of the White Lotus Sect said: "General Li, just gave a detailed reply that Wang Pu took the official army to land and headed for Qingzhou Prefecture."

"What?" Li Yan said in a lost voice, "Has the government troops changed to land?"

The leader of the White Lotus Sect said: "It seems that Wang Pu has already known the news that our sect captured Jining. Wang Pu must have abandoned the ship and moved to the land to avoid our sect's military attack."

Li Yan said: "Is this news reliable?"

"This news is absolutely reliable." Li Qingshan said, patting his chest, "The brothers sent to Luqiao Town to inquire about the news said that the government army had moved dozens of heavy and heavy boxes from the ship, two of which were accidentally overturned. The inside was poured out of real money and silver, and it was impossible to make a mistake."

Li Yan thought about it but was still worried, and asked again: "Where is the navy fleet sent to Shandong?"

Li Qingshan said: "When Wang Pu's official army took the prison cart and silver cart ashore, they returned to Jiangsu."

Li Yan frowned and said, "So the government army is really planning to change the route?"

The White Lotus Sect Master said: "The fat meat sent to your mouth must not fly like this. I decided to pursue the army and ask General Li to send troops to help."

Li Yan clasped his fists and said, "The young general came to help him with the order of the king, and he should serve him."
