Chapter 190: Disintegrating the White Lotus Sect

"What!?" The White Lotus Sect Master changed his expression when he heard this, "Is this kind of thing actually happening?"

Bian Yujing asked, "Master, could this rumor be spread by General Li and the others?"

"No." The leader of the White Lotus Sect said decisively, "Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong and others don't have the courage to do this. Wang Pu must have done this. What a Wang Pu, he wants to disintegrate the Holy Sect without bloodshed."

"General Wang?" Bian Yujing said, "How could General Wang run to Chuzhou and spread rumors with the state?"

The White Lotus Sect Master said, "I'm afraid there are those who have already sneaked into Wang Pu's sect and that monk."

"Monk? This is impossible for Master." Bian Yujing said, "Monk General is a rough man, and he has no scheming at all."

"That's not sure." The leader of the White Lotus Sect said in a narrow voice, "Fortunately, Wang Pu will escort a batch of muskets to Chuzhou in a few days. When you arrive in Chuzhou, you will slowly deal with Wang Pu and Yu'er. You will leave the city early tomorrow morning and rush to Hezhou as quickly as possible and order the general, and the second general will return to Chuzhou immediately."

Two days later, Chuzhou Daying.

Liu Badao, who stayed in Chuzhou, drank a big bowl of wine with Monk Zhang. After a few bowls of old wine, Monk Zhang gradually became more and more words, shaking out all his old secrets when he was a thief in Datong, and even told a lot of romantic affairs when he had an affair with the widow Xiaofeng.

Liu Badao was secretly happy, but his face remained silent, and continued to persuade him to drink: "Monk, although you are an official army and a subordinate of Wang Pu, brother, I am a thief, but no matter what, you were once a Taoist person. Today we will not talk about state affairs, we will only talk about the wind and the moon, hehe, only women..."

"Uh...woman?" Monk Zhang made a drink and said with a lewd smile. "If you want to talk about women, it is our Mrs. Chen and your White Lotus Sect Master the most seductive, especially your leader, who has that charm and figure, hehe, I have lived for most of my life. I have never seen such a seductive person."

"Monk, have you really seen our leader?"

"Nonsense." Monk Zhang waved his hand and said, "To be honest, Brother Badao, our Yanziji camp had not been built at that time. My general temporarily settled your leader in the bamboo shed in the backyard. There was a gap in the middle of the bamboo mat covering the bamboo shed. That night, brother, I happened to be in a hurry at night, hey..."

Liu Badao said anxiously: "How is it?"

Monk Zhang's eyes were lewd and said in a low voice: "There is a light in the bamboo shed. What do you think I've seen through the gap?"

Liu Badao said, "What did you see?"

Liu Badao said in a panic: "What you said is true?"

Monk Zhang said drunkenly: "If you don't believe it, just pull it down."

"Faith." Liu Badao said hurriedly, "Brother, of course I believe it."

Monk Zhang drank another bowl of wine, wiped his mouth with unsatisfactory feelings, and said, "Uh... it's getting late, brother, I should go back... back to the camp."

As he said that, Monk Zhang stood up, but he didn't expect that he would stagger and fall to the ground. It seemed that he was drunk too much.

Liu Badao hurriedly said, "Come here, send the monk brothers back to the account."

Two white lotus bandits had already snatched into the tent to help Monk Zhang up. Monk Zhang pushed the two bandits away and said unhappily: "Let's go... go away, I'm not... drunk, I can... go..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Zhang fell to the ground again.

Liu Badao waved his hand and signaled the two White Lotus bandits to lift Monk Zhang out.

A small leader of a thief with a scathing eye entered the camp and came to Liu Badao and whispered: "Three Generals, I finally got the words out of this guy today. I really didn't expect that the leader of the sect actually became Wang Pu's forbidden body!"

"It's hard to say whether the leader has become Wang Pu's forbidden body." Liu Badao said in a deep voice, "After all, this is just a monk Zhang's remark. This guy is addicted to alcohol and has no brains. He may have recognized the wrong person and regarded other women as the leader. In short, the brothers sent to Nanjing will know the truth when they come back."

"Report..." As soon as the words were finished, bandits came into the tent and reported, "Three generals, the two leaders sent to Nanjing have returned."

"Lao Wu, Lao Liu is back?" Liu Badao said happily, "Please invite them in."

The bandits took the order and soon led two men in brocade clothes into the big tent. The two men in brocade clothes held their fists and bowed to Liu Badao, "See the third general."

"Fifth, sixth." Liu Badao stepped forward and held the hands of the two people intimately, and said happily, "Thank you for your hard work."

The two men in brocade clothes said: "I don't work hard."

"How is it?" Liu Badao asked, "Have you found out clearly?"

One of the men in brocade clothes said: "The third general, the two personal maids of the leader, oh, are the two Jiannu women rescued from Jining. They have now become strippers in the Xiaoyao Fairyland. The subordinates think that this is enough to show the problem. The leader must have become Wang Pu's people."

Liu Badao frowned and said, "Xiaoyao Fairyland? What Xiaoyao Fairyland?"

Another man in brocade clothes said: "It's Wang Pu who opened a brothel on the banks of the Qinhuai River. He can take a bath inside. There are many varieties, but he really enjoys it."

The little leader with a stingy look on his face said: "Three Generals, it seems that this matter is undoubtedly confirmed."

Liu Badao thought for a while and said, "Liu Banxian."

The little leader with a stingy eyebrows and a mouse-eyed look said: "I'm here."

Liu Badao said: "You rushed to Hezhou overnight and told the two generals everything that happened here."

"Subordinates receive the order."

The little leader agreed and took the order.

Nanjing, the headquarters of the Swallow Rock.

Fifty large trucks were ready to go. Wang Pu turned around and looked at the White Lotus leader who was dressed in a personal soldier beside him and said softly: "Good sister, in addition to 500 muskets, 50,000 paper shell bullets, and 5,000 Dragon King Cannons, there are two thousand stones of food. How about it, I haven't breached my trust?"

The White Lotus Sect Leader glanced at Wang Pu charmingly and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Good brother, how can you thank you for your sister, huh?"

Wang Pu smiled and said, "I have no other extravagance. I just want to go to Chuzhou here. Sister, don't put me under house arrest."

The White Lotus Sect Leader said charmingly: "What if my sister really put you under house arrest? What will you do?"

"Oh, what else can I do?" Wang Pu spread his hands and said helplessly, "I can only be sad, but I believe you won't do this, sister."

"Oh." The leader of the White Lotus Sect said angrily, "Are you so confident?"

"General" Lu Liu quickly came to Wang Pu and shouted. "The convoy is ready."

"Okay." Wang Pu waved his hand and said loudly, "Go!"

Beijing, Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

Emperor Chongzhen was walking with Wang Chengen, when suddenly a little eunuch came to Wang Chengen to whisper a few words in his ear.

Emperor Chongzhen was just tired of walking. He sat down on the water pavilion and asked, "Cheng'en, what's the matter?"

Wang Chengen said: "Long live, this is the case. Just now, the eunuch Zhang Zi'an, the governor of Nanjing, sent a secret report saying that the two Jiannu women who were missing in Jining appeared again."

"Is that true?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about the two Jiannu women and asked casually, "Where are they now?"

"Nanjing." Wang Chengen said, "and he has become a singing girl in the Xiaoyao Fairyland."

Emperor Chongzhen said in surprise: "Xiaoyao Fairyland?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said, "Long live, this Xiaoyao Fairyland is the raft courtyard run by the son-in-law. Zhang Zi'an's servant wrote to him that the two Jiannu women have now become the money trees in the son-in-law's hands. They can earn 5,000 taels of money for the son-in-law in one night."

"Haha, this is also a human nature." Emperor Chongzhen smiled, "These two Jiannu women are the concubines of slave chiefs after all. Although they are savage life, their identities are not noble, but those romantic brokers are just looking for something new and glorious? They don't feel sorry for money, but... Wang Pu is really good at making money."

Wang Chengen said: "Long live the emperor. I am worried that if the prince-consort does this, it will anger Jiannu and the Mongolians? If they raise an army to retaliate, it will be a big deal."

"Angered Jiannu and the Mongols?" Emperor Chongzhen said calmly. "You have been worried too much, and your concern is completely unnecessary."

Wang Chengen said: "I am stupid, please teach me."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "The Mongols are now slaves from Jiannu, so there is no need to say that Jiannu is a completely wild life. They don't know any ethics at all. Women are property for them. Fathers die and sons succeed, and brothers die and brothers die. That is commonplace. They will not mobilize all their troops for two women."

Emperor Chongzhen said it was completely true. At that time, Jiannu was actually in a slave society, just like a savage. Women had a very low status in the Jiannu tribe. It was common for men to snatch them up as spoils or inherit them as property. They were common and were not worth making a fuss.

For example, Nurhaci's concubine Yan Dai was originally a woman of Nurhaci's brother Wei Huai. After Wei Huai's death, Nurhaci inherited her as property.

For example, Nurhaci's great concubine Abahai, Nurhaci had already had sex with Daishan before he died. The reason was that Nurhaci had the idea of ​​establishing Daishan as the crown prince. Once Nurhaci died of old age, Daishan would succeed him, Abahai would naturally become Daishan's woman, so the two of them got along in advance.

For example, Jirgalang, after his second brother Amin was sentenced to death by Huang Taiji, he inherited all the property of Amin, including Amin's women.

For example, Haoge's wife Borjigit was forced to become a concubine by Dorgon after Haoge's death.

Even the Jiannu royal family had such inequality and etiquette, not to mention ordinary Jiannu. In such a slave tribe, women were like horses and furs, but were only attached to men's property. Wang Chengen was completely worried that Jiannu would mobilize the two women.

"So that's how it is." Wang Chengen nodded, "I understand."

"By the way." Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered another thing and asked, "Has Sun Chuanting sent someone to ship the one million taels of silver I wanted?"

Wang Chengen shook his head and said, "Zhang Zi'an's servant did not mention this in the secret letter. However, Lord Sun has always been loyal to the court. He should have given this money, right?"

"I hope." Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said, "The bandits are attacking Tongguan at the moment. If Jiang Xiang from Datong does not send troops to rescue him, Chen Xinjia will not be able to withstand it. But Jiang Xiang does not send troops without food and salary. I need this silver now. The Ming Dynasty needs this silver now..."

"well."

Wang Chengen then sighed and stopped talking.

Hezhou Prefecture has now become the headquarters of Li Qingshan's general.

Liu Banxian, who was ordered to come, had already conveyed Liu Ba's message to Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong. Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu, come here, take Mr. Liu to the inn to rest."

A bandit soldier had already stepped forward and led Liu Banxian away.

When Liu Banxian left, Li Qingshan asked Yuan Shizhong: "Brother Yuan. What do you think about this?"

Yuan Shizhong said: "No matter whether this matter is true or false, this is a good opportunity for us to take the opportunity to get out of the White Lotus Sect!"

"Leave the Holy Church?" Li Qingshan frowned, "Brother Yuan is careful."

"What's there?" Yuan Shizhong said disapprovingly, "The White Lotus Sect's tricks of coaxing fools and wives is okay, but if you really want to conquer the world, you have to follow the King of Chuang. I have to understand it. If you stay in Hezhou, you will die sooner or later at the hands of the demon girl and Wang Pu. It would be better to take your men to Henan to join the King of Chuang now. In the future, the King of Chuang will be in the world. You and my brothers will be considered founding heroes."

This is really unpredictable. When the White Lotus Sect leader was thinking about plotting against Wang Pu and Wang Pu also thought about dismantling the White Lotus Sect, Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong, the commanders of the White Lotus Sect, were already planning to betray the White Lotus Sect and defect to Li Zicheng.

In fact, the White Lotus Sect Leader had known that Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong were unreliable, so she forced them to take poison. But she had to use these two people.

Because the White Lotus Sect has always been a lower-level route, the backbone members of the sect have always been women, and most of the sects are poor people who are illiterate. There are very few landlords and powerful people like Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong who have the ability to lead troops. This is also the main reason why the White Lotus Sect leader knew that Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong were not very reliable, but he still had to rely on them to command the troops.

Li Qingshan said: "Brother Yuan, don't forget that your and my lives are still in the hands of that witch."
