Chapter 283 Chapter 286

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The girls kept crying.

The soldier hurriedly bowed to the eunuch and flattered him, "Eunuch Han——you have worked hard!"

Eunuch Han pinched the orchid fingers and ordered: "Take them up first!"

"Yes!" The soldier dared not neglect.

Eunuch Han took out a handkerchief from his waist, wiped a trace of sweat from his forehead, and said weakly: "I'm a little tired, I want to rest on the boat for a while... If you see other troops escorting beauties or bronzes later, I will let you go on board directly, and you don’t need to report to me again.”

"Yes, Eunuch Xie—"

Eunuch Han and the girls boarded the boat one after another.

"Yes, Brother Shen! Let's go to the side first—" Chen Jingchou rolled his eyes, thinking of something, and they walked to the corner.

Chen Jingchou looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shen, I have a good idea!"

"……Oh?"

Chen Jingchou said: "Xiaoxue and I are going to get a set of girls' clothes, you and Brother Zhang are also going to get a set of military uniforms for the officers and soldiers, and then we all pretend to be a troop transporting beauties, and get on board the ship in a fair manner!

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Hehe, - good plan, good plan, thank you for thinking of it... Okay, this plan is really worth a try - let's split up temporarily, wait a minute, let's meet in the inn room, shall we? "

"Well, let's do this!"

The four of them split up, and Chen Jingchou asked Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, come and give me some advice... If I want to pretend to be a girl, what should I prepare?"

Xiaoxue lowered her head and thought for a while, "Well...should...should have at least three things, rouge, clothes, and hairpins, right?"

"Okay, I understand...I'm going to find a way to get these three things!" Chen Jingchou got flowers that can be picked to make rouge in a corner of Lujiadu, and then bought them in a nearby dwelling A woman's clothing and accessories.

After a while, Shen Mu and Zhang Lie got two sets of military uniforms, and then Chen Jingchou started to help Xiaoxue dress up.

While Chen Jingchou was dressing up Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue asked Zhang Lie, "Brother Zhang... can I... can I... ask you a question?"

Zhang Lie laughed and said: "Haha, it's rare for Miss Xiaoxue to ask a question, please ask!"

Xiaoxue lowered her head, twisted her clothes, and murmured in a low voice: "I...I think...I always feel...that sister Yu'er, does she hate us? We really don't know what we did wrong. "

"Hahaha..." Zhang Lie felt that this little girl was thinking too much, "This is not your problem, don't worry about it! That troublesome girl in my family is like this to all the people in the Sui Kingdom."

Chen Jingqiu asked: "Brother Zhang, why...why is she like this?"

"It's a long story..." Zhang Lie said, "Do you know about the incident outside the Great Wall last year?"

Chen Jingchou nodded slightly and said: "Well, the master once mentioned it to me... The master said that Emperor Yang (Emperor Yang of Sui) was very happy, and every year he would find some things that cost people and money to do, such as fighting wars, building civil engineering, and traveling around— —Last year when he went to the north, he suddenly had a whim and said that he wanted to go out of the Great Wall to see some scenery outside the Great Wall, but the Turkic Khan found out about it and launched a surprise attack, besieging him outside the Great Wall—”

"That's right, he almost died at that time..." Zhang Lie sighed, "Fortunately, your Sui army came to the north to rescue him one after another, so he was saved. But your emperor always cares about face. He couldn't hold back, so he thought of trying to cover up and make up for it... He ordered his subordinates to randomly find a nearby nomadic tribe to massacre before returning south, and treat it as the glorious victory of his northern tour to defeat the alien race in the north, a triumphant return."

Chen Jingchou suddenly said: "Ah, could it be that...the nomadic tribe he slaughtered at that time was Miss Tuoba's—"

"That's right!" Zhang Lie said, "Exactly!"

"So there was such a past..." Xiaoxue said thoughtfully, "No wonder Miss Tuoba holds such a strong hatred for us Han people..."

Zhang Lie shook his head and said: "Actually, her nature is not like this... She used to be a very cheerful child. After that incident happened, her heart was completely occupied by the word revenge—she didn't know martial arts, and she didn't know how to fight." In order to get revenge, she repeatedly begged me to teach her! Brother Yu thought she was just talking, but unexpectedly she practiced hard every day, coupled with her talent and intelligence, within a year, she was already at the level of Brother Yu."

Chen Jingchou was surprised and said: "...wow, so powerful? It's not like me, I don't concentrate at all on learning Taoism. After three or two years of learning, I still can't learn well, and I am always scolded by the master."

Zhang Lie said: "To tell you the truth... Brother Yu sees that she only wants to get revenge, and she always treats all Han people as enemies, so she is also very worried! Her current priority is not revenge, but to take care of her own tribe, but she always listens to Don't go in."

Shen Mu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I still think she is a good girl with a sense of right and wrong! Like last time in Heishan Town, the mothers and children bullied by the officers and soldiers were all Han Chinese, so she still stood up , did not just sit back and watch..."

Zhang Lie agreed: "Well, this is the advantage of this child. She has a very sense of justice...but her temper is too strong. Brother Chen, let's change our clothes quickly, otherwise it will be too late to miss that boat It's..."

Shen Mu and Zhang Lie disguised themselves as soldiers of the Sui Army, while Chen Jingchou disguised as a girl, not to mention Chen Jingchou disguised as a woman, it really seemed like that.

Xiaoxue looked at Chen Jingchou's current appearance in women's clothing with some surprise, covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Hey~~Brother Chen, you have become so beautiful!"

Shen Mu joked with a smile: "Well, it has great potential. You can go to Thailand to make further improvements."

"Thailand?!" Chen Jingchou scratched the bun on the back of his head and asked curiously, "Which country is it?!"

"A country where men like to dress up as women."

"Is there such a country?!" Everyone was a little surprised, "If you have a chance, you must go and see it."

"...Okay." Shen Mu rolled his eyes, and said to himself, "At this time, Thailand is still a tribe of savages..."

Thailand has a history of only more than 700 years. Some of its ancestors originally lived in the Yunnan area. In the Yuan Dynasty, they moved south to escape the war. In 1238 AD, the Sukhothai Dynasty was established, and a relatively unified country began to be formed.

After the four of them disguised themselves, they turned into two Sui soldiers escorting two young girls to the big ship guarded by the soldiers.

"Sorry, I'm late! These are children dedicated to the emperor..." Zhang Lie and Shen Mu stepped forward and fisted a black-faced soldier guarding them, pointing to Xiaoxue and Chen Jingchou behind them.

The black-faced soldier looked Xiaoxue and Chen Jingchou up and down, nodded lewdly and said, "Hurry up, hurry up and get on board! The ship is about to break anchor at noon—"

Shen Mu and the others boarded the boat, and the black-faced soldiers looked behind Xiaoxue and Chen Jingchou, hesitated for a moment, and shouted: "Wait a minute... Shut these two beauties into the second cabin, and then you can Go down and rest."

Shen Mu thought it was the black-faced soldier who saw the flaw, but it turned out it wasn't, so he turned around and cupped his fists at the black-faced soldier, "Understood—thanks!"

"Woo... woo..." Chen Jingchou cried.

Shen Mu pushed Chen Jingchou, and shouted: "Let's go, why are you crying, it's your honor to serve the emperor~~"

……

On the deck of the beautiful transport ship, Chen Jingchou chuckled softly, "Hey, I never expected to get in so successfully!"

Shen Mu waved his head, and said in a low voice: "The military discipline of these Sui soldiers is really bad, and they didn't even ask for the basic password... Brother Zhang and I will take you and Miss Xiaoxue to the second cabin first, you go in Look around, see if my troublesome girl is in there?"

Coming to the channel of the beauty transport ship, Shen Mu pointed to the front cabin and said: "This should be the second cabin. You two go in and look for it, and then come out to meet me! We'll wait here, one To avoid people's suspicions, the two things should be taken care of—"

Chen Jingchou and Xiaoxue nodded, "Well, be careful!"

The two of them entered the second cabin of the beautiful transport ship, which was full of beautiful young girls, but all of them were frowning, crying and complaining——

"The emperor already has so many beauties in the harem, what chance do I have to be favored!! People say that once the Hou Men enter the palace, it will be even more miserable when entering the palace."

"After entering the palace, do I still have a chance to go home? Woo...I miss home so much."

"Do I still have a chance to go home? Huh... so many girls are picked every year, how many of them are really favored..."

"I'm about to get married, and those officers and soldiers insisted on arresting me, saying that they would send me to be a concubine or a court lady. I don't want to be a white-headed court lady! Woo..."

"Oh... I don't want to enter the palace. I don't want to be a concubine... I'm only 12 years old, I miss my parents..."

After Chen Jingchou and Xiaoxue searched for a quarter of an hour in the beauty's cabin, they quietly walked out.

Zhang Lie asked in a low voice, "How—? Did you find it?"

Xiaoxue said: "I didn't find it at all, Brother Zhang."

"It's not good—" Zhang Lie lowered his head and asked in doubt, "Could it be that she was on another ship before?"

"Then what shall we do next?"

Zhang Lie said: "Her main purpose should be to retrieve the divine cauldron, so we only need to find the vessel to transport the cauldron, and we should be able to find her."

"But this ship doesn't seem to be a tripod ship..."

Shen Mu stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Just now I heard other soldiers say that the eunuch in charge of this ship not only asked them to kidnap young women in the town, but also asked them to search for bronze utensils everywhere—"

"What are they going to do with the bronze wares?" Everyone asked puzzled.

Shen Mu shook his head slightly and said: "I don't understand...they put the bronze in the cabin at the bottom of the ship, let's go to the cabin at the bottom of the ship and investigate!"

The four of them quietly came to the bilge channel of the beauty transport ship, and the bilge guard shouted: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't come here—"

Shen Mu pointed to Xiaoxue and Chen Jingchou behind him and said, "I'm sorry, the second cabin for women is already full, so I want to put these two in the cabin at the bottom of the boat..."

"Oh, okay! Since the father-in-law said it, let's go!" The guard in the bottom cabin waved his hand to let the four of them pass, and lowered his head and muttered: "Really~~ I found so many women, so many that the room can't fit? "

The four of them came to the third cabin in the bilge of the beauty transportation ship, and found that the cabin was full of large and small boxes. When they opened the boxes, they were either lumps of copper or miscellaneous copper utensils...

Zhang Lie was puzzled and said, "But it's strange, what do these officers and soldiers want so much copper for?"

"Could it be that they plan to forge weapons privately and plan to rebel?"

Suddenly, two soldiers broke into the door, "Hey - what are you doing here?"

Zhang Lie quickly explained: "Ah,...the upper cabins are full, so we are ordered by my father-in-law to place these two girls here..."

"—Nonsense!" At this time, a sissy voice suddenly sounded from behind the soldier, "Hmph, I am the eunuch in charge of this ship, when did I give the order?"

"Oops...!" Everyone was shocked.

Eunuch Han pointed at the four of Shen Mu and ordered to the dozen or so soldiers following behind him: "Sneaky and sneaky - arrest them!"

Shen Mu said disdainfully: "Okay, since you've been discovered, let's fight it openly—"

Just a face-to-face meeting, these ten or so soldiers were stunned, but Shen Mu only showed a little bit of Wing Chun kung fu, without showing any mana, but Chen Jingchou and the others were stunned. "Amazing skill!"

Eunuch Han panicked, "Please, don't kill me...don't kill me..."

Zhang Lieji pointed: "—Speak! Do you know about the Shending? Where did it go?"

"Please don't kill me...I said, I said..." Eunuch Han's already pale face was frightened, and it was even paler. He trembled all over and said: "The emperor is going to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Yuwen, the grand master. Dedicated the divine cauldron to the emperor, in order to increase the auspiciousness of your majesty's dragon boat... The tripod... the tripod has been transported south to the dragon boat! This... this time we came to collect beauties because your majesty is traveling south and needs a lot of beauties all the way to leave the palace For the sake of serving—”

Shen Mu snorted coldly: "Hmph... what a stupid dog! What else do you know? What are those bronze utensils under the boat used for?"

Eunuch Han cried and said with a mournful face: "No, I don't know... Those servants really don't know..."

"Hmph... don't know?"

"The bronze is ordered by Eunuch Zhang, the director in charge of Yunding. As for what it is used for, I really don't know—" Eunuch Han kowtowed.

A sneer rose from the corner of Shen Mu's mouth and said: "Okay, thank you for telling us so much—"

Shen Mu beat the eunuch to death, and Chen Jingchou ran forward and said, "Shen...Brother Shen! He...he is just an eunuch, not a soldier who can fight!"

Shen Mu said: "Brother Chen... Aren't you going to save those girls just now?"

"Yes......!" Chen Jingchou nodded, but he didn't seem to know what this had to do with killing the father-in-law.

Shen Mu knew about Chen Jingchou's problem, so he just smiled lightly and said, "If you don't kill this eunuch, let him ask someone to arrest all the girls who have worked so hard to let go just now...then who exactly have we saved? So, if you don't kill this fellow, you are equivalent to not saving those girls at all... No, you might even kill them!

"But... this..." Chen Jingchou still couldn't understand.

Shen Mu said: "If you want to save people, you're fine if you don't save them. If you want to save people, you have to save them thoroughly—this is what a true hero does!"

"Brother Shen is exactly what he said, if the younger generation is soft on this, there will be endless troubles." Zhang Lie echoed.

"...I know this, but...I...I really don't like to kill casually...It's okay to fight on an equal footing, but I can't kill an enemy who is unarmed and has no room for resistance!" Chen Chen Jing Qiu said.

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "Brother Chen... Mr. Shen understands that you have a kind heart and don't like to bleed, but—if you want to achieve great success, it's not enough to just blindly benevolent to women, please keep in mind at this point!"

"..." Chen Jingchou's eyes were a little dazed.

"True benevolence—especially in troubled times, is to kill those treacherous people to protect the weak, rather than sticking to the form of 'stop killing'. Brother Chen, it doesn't matter if you can't accept these for a while... But you will sooner or later You have to face this problem, and I hope you can think about it for yourself.”

Hearing Shen Mu's words, Chen Jingchou's heart was moved, he nodded and said, "Well, brother Shen... I understand, I will think about it carefully."

"That's good." Shen Mu was faintly worried, wondering if this guy would misunderstand his meaning and become a murderous maniac.

The four of them set sail and came to Daliang City. In the streets and alleys of Daliang City, most of the bustling crowds were dressed in Sui Dynasty clothes, and there were also rare barbarians. In the deep houses and ancient courtyards of Tairexie, there are occasional joyful women's charming laughter slowly drifting out from the Wuxie song building, which is comparable to the shouting of the peddler in the streets and alleys of Daliang City, and the chasing of the child. The sounds of laughter are intertwined, making people feel that Daliang City is so prosperous.

"Ah, this is Daliang? It's so beautiful~~" As soon as Xiaoxue entered Daliang City, she ran around jumping and jumping, as if it was very strange.
