When we saw a huge island in the middle of Taihu Lake, like a mountain standing on the water, Shangguan Wan'er said that that was where the Taiping Army was stationed. The general camp was stationed here, and they had been causing trouble in Taihu Lake all year round. It was indeed a natural hazard. I'm afraid that if ships from outside want to come in, they won't be able to land here.
At this time, an extremely fast boat sailed over from the opposite island. Standing on the boat were a row of soldiers with weapons in their hands. They were obviously patrollers responsible for patrolling to prevent foreign enemies from invading. They all recognized the fishing boats on Taihu Lake. . They won’t stop you. It’s just that this is a military base for the Taiping Army. Fishing boats are intruding. You must ask them to get out.
Shangguan Wan'er knew that they couldn't enter easily here, so she immediately said to the group of people who stopped them: "Brothers, this little girl is the daughter of an old man from Shangguan who fished on Taihu Lake. She sailed here today. She just wanted to take a ride. I'm going to the island with a few people. Please be accommodating to me, brothers."
"It turns out to be Shangguan Wan'er, the daughter of Shangguan old man's family. Why did you take people to the island? You can't get there. Go back quickly. When the wind blows, you won't be able to go back." Opposite. A man reminded me kindly. Shangguan Wan'er quickly shook her head and said: Brother Cha, this young man is doing business with your Taiping Army. He also has a few friends up there. Come over today to visit them. You be well and let us go. Go over there."
"Business people. Our Taiping Army never does business with others. Don't talk nonsense. The saint aunt on the island will find out later and blame you. We can't protect you."
Shangguan Wan'er was anxious. Meng Xinghe listened to their conversation and then jumped out and said: "Brother, please go to the island to report. Meng Xinghe wishes to say hello to Aunt Saint."
As soon as the man heard about Meng Xinghe, he immediately exclaimed and said: "So you are Meng Xinghe. The Holy Aunt has already told me to tie up a man who calls himself Meng Xinghe when I meet him on Taihu Lake. I didn't expect you to do it yourself." You've fallen into a trap." The man waved his hand, pretending to tie up Meng Xinghe.
"How brave. You guys are going to rebel." At this moment, the junior sister stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said in an old-fashioned way: "Hurry up and report to the aunt. We said we want to see the holy aunt. It's been delayed. Be careful with you. "The little junior sister may be small, but she is not stupid. She knows better than anyone else what Yunmengzhai does. The holy aunt is her master. This group of shrimp soldiers and crabs will dare to stop her, and she, the little aunt, will not be allowed to go crazy.
How do these people know the true background of the little junior sister? Even the traces of the holy aunt in the Taiping Army are like a mysterious dragon that sees its beginning but never ends. Not to mention how much deterrence can a little girl in her teens say. .They completely regarded the junior sister's words as nonsense. They rowed the boat and rushed over to tie up Meng Xinghe.
The junior sister's cheeks bulged so high that she puffed and said: "If you dare to offend your aunt, I will deal with you slaves today." She revealed the weapon on her waist with a loud sound, which shocked Shangguan Wan'er. He lost his color and almost fell into the water.
Meng Xinghe immediately shouted: "Hongdou, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Fight. People are going to arrest you. Don't resist. You are a pig." The junior sister pouted. Her personality is similar to Mengdie. The women who come out of Yunmengzhai are all the same. It is common for people to have headaches, no matter how big or small. Fighting and killing are common. Fortunately, his Aunt Yun is more normal. Mengdie was not normal before. But after his training, she has become much more normal. Only the little junior sister has not changed her wild nature. Just a wild girl.
He thought in his heart that he would let Mengdie discipline this girl more in the future. Then he said to the group of people in front of him who wanted to kidnap him: "Go up and tell you Holy Aunt. Just say that the negotiating ambassador sent by the imperial court has arrived. If you don't want the Taiping Army All buried in Taihu Lake. Just come out and greet me in a polite manner. It doesn't matter if you tie me up. Convey these words to the Holy Aunt's ears first. As for how she treats me next, it is her business. I am helpless. A powerful scholar with no great abilities. But there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty watching me behind me."
Meng Xinghe's words do hold some weight. Even the negotiators sent by the imperial court, even those who are stupid, know that this matter is not a child's play. The man immediately sent someone back to report, but he did not dare to take action against Meng Xinghe for the time being, for fear of doing anything. Something big happens that is difficult to end.
After a while, the person who went to inform them rushed over by boat: "The Holy Aunt said, let them in."
Meng Xinghe laughed twice: "Wan'er, row the boat to the shore."
Shangguan Wan'er said "hmm". She just heard Meng Xinghe's words about the imperial court's negotiating ambassador and one hundred thousand soldiers. Although she didn't know how spectacular these were, she had a vague feeling in her heart that the young master on the boat was not simple. When rowing,... Absent-minded. Thinking about other things.
When the boat docked, Meng Xinghe jumped out of the boat. Shangguan Wan'er held up the oar and said, "Sir, let's go slowly. Wan'er is waiting for you below." Then he held the boat and left the shore to fish.
This girl did have some intentions. Looking at her leaving figure, Meng Meng Xinghe thought that when he came back, he would take her to Chang'an to study, so as to return her a favor.
A few people went to the island, but they didn't bother to appreciate the surrounding lakes and mountains. After passing through the checkpoints from the foot of the mountain to the top, they saw the Taiping Army's tent in the middle of Taihu Lake. It stood at the highest point of the island, overlooking the entire Taihu Lake. It circled around. There were sixty-four checkpoints in total. There were about ten thousand people waiting for it. It was such a dangerous place. It was located high up. In addition, with the Taihu Lake outside as a barrier, it was indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.
At this time, Meng Xinghe winked at Military Master Wu and asked her to write down the military layout here. Write down every fortification. If she could get out, she could use Master Wu's amazing memory to draw it according to the pattern. Study how to fight the enemy.
Military Master Wu smiled faintly at Meng Xinghe. In fact, she didn't need Meng Xinghe to remind her. She already knew what to do. A smart woman doesn't need to waste her words.
After passing the last checkpoint, the Taiping Army's command tent in the center of Taihu Lake was right in front of them. The guard stopped Meng Xinghe and pointed at the two women behind him. He said: "The holy aunt said, you can go in. The rest of the people stay in the tent." outside."
Junior Sister Hongdou immediately stepped forward. Wu Meiniang obviously would not listen. Meng Xinghe saw that something was not going well. He immediately grabbed the two of them and said, "Then please help me find a place for the two girls to stay and wait."
Seeing that Meng Xinghe was speaking politely, the man said: "This holy aunt has already given instructions. She said that the people Master Meng brought are the guests of our Taiping Army. Let us entertain them well."
"Then I'm relieved." Meng Xinghe said to the two women, "Just wait outside." He looked at Military Master Wu meaningfully. I'm afraid only the two of them know the meaning.
Although the two women were unwilling to do so, they still obeyed Meng Xinghe's words and were led by the guards to rest elsewhere.
Meng Xinghe strode into the tent with swift strides.
He had just opened the curtain of the big tent, but he burst out laughing: "Sister, why didn't you inform your little brother if you wanted to rebel? It really makes me worried about your comfort."
There was only one person in the tent. Apparently it was Shi Luoshen, the great goblin from Yunmengzhai.
"My little brother is an official of the imperial court. How can he collude with thieves like us? Wouldn't it ruin your innocence? My sister can't bear it." Shi Luo Shen laughed. She had known for a long time that the only people who came to Taihu Lake were Meng Xinghe. There was no one else. If the person sent was not Meng Xinghe, she might have killed him before he even arrived on the island.
Meng Xinghe sat casually in front of Shi Luoshen. If people outside saw that Mr. Meng, who went deep into the Taiping Army to negotiate alone, was so leisurely now, they would be tempted to take back all their previous worries. They would even curse him to be killed earlier. . He was a little bit nervous as a negotiator, and while gnawing on the fruit on the table, he said: "Since I met my sister, I still have innocence to speak of. It's just that you didn't say a word, just fighting on the edge of Taihu Lake. It's a fight. Isn't this going to kill me? If Mengdie finds out, he won't hit me with a whip, saying that I don't protect my shortcomings and is bullying my sister at Yunmengzhai. Sister, stop it. The Tang army is outside. Although Taihu Lake is dangerous, are you sure you can hold it in ten or twenty years? Besides, I have also been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Holy King. I will inform you as soon as there is news. You don’t have to be idle. It would be unwise to come out and try your skills."
Meng Xinghe tried his best to choose nice things to say. He knew in his heart that his stubborn sister usually wouldn't listen to her. But this time he came here for negotiation. Even if he knew she wouldn't listen, he still had to say it.
My sister swayed to Meng Xinghe and sat on his lap. She blinked her charming eyes and said, "You are worried about me. You are afraid of being chopped down by Li Shimin."
I am worried that you will have a bad relationship. The two goblins Mengdie and Aunt Yun will eat me. Meng Xinghe remained calm and said: "We have such a close relationship now. Do you think I am worried or happy? ."
The older sister pouted pitifully. She was just as playful as her younger junior sister. She just had the added skill of a mature woman pretending to be stupid. She said: "Since you are worried about me, even a weak girl like me can't support you." Such a large Taiping Army. Otherwise, you can stay in the village and help me overthrow the Tang Dynasty. My sister promises you. On the day when Li Tang is overthrown, the emperor's throne will be given to you. Not only that, my sister will personally give Mengdie I am betrothed to you. Oh, by the way, I have an extra sister Yun now. Geez, my little brother is so bad. Even my sister is confused by you."
Country, beauty, how full of temptation. Meng Xinghe seemed to be confused and almost agreed. Fortunately, at the critical moment, there would always be a buzzing sound in his head involuntarily, thus resisting the emanation from his sister. He secretly thought of the fairy he shared the same bed with. He didn't know where she was now. When he returned to Chang'an, he must go to the Jade Fairy Holy Temple of Jueqing Peak to look for her.
"Sister, let me tell you the truth. Li Tang Jiangshan will not be able to sit on the throne for long. But the people who captured it are definitely not the Taiping Army." Meng Xinghe revealed a little bit of secrets. He didn't know if he would be struck by lightning from the sky.
My sister didn't look surprised at all. It stands to reason that if anyone in the world heard this, the timid person would have been frightened to death long ago. He could still sit quietly in Meng Xinghe's arms.
Seeing that he was not charmed, the elder sister stretched out her mutton-fat white jade-like hand, lifted Master Meng's collar, and said, "Little brother, go see something with your elder sister." She stood up and hooked Meng Xinghe like this. Walking in front, swaying and swaying, her plump and round butt made Meng Xinghe think criminally. In fact, the most impressive figure in the Demon Sect is probably the older sister in front of him.
The elder sister led Meng Xinghe into a narrow hut. The surroundings were airtight. But in the middle of the hut, there was a stone platform carved from white jade, which emitted a soft white light. The halo surrounded the hut, like a star in the night. Shining pearl.
"This is." Meng Xinghe couldn't think of what he was talking about in front of him. But the magic door is mysterious and everything is strange. Meng Xinghe was not too surprised. He just waited for his sister to explain.
The elder sister walked up to the stone platform and said: "This is the most precious wordless book passed down by my Taiping Sect ancestor Zhang Jiao. It can predict the past and the future. It is something that all emperors have dreamed of. My little brother doesn't believe it. Come up and take a look. Then you will know.”
Meng Xinghe also felt strange. He walked to the wordless book carved from white jade and asked, "How to try it."
My sister smiled brightly: "Just tell me what you want to ask in the Wordless Book. The answer you want to know will naturally appear on it."
There are also such strange things. Meng Xinghe obviously didn't believe it. He immediately pretended to say to the wordless heavenly book: "The heavenly book. The heavenly book. I want to ask, how did I, Meng Xinghe, live the rest of my life."
"Giggle. Little brother, you are so funny." My sister stared at the wordless book. In fact, she also wanted to know how Meng Xinghe appeared in the wordless book, how he had experienced ups and downs in his life, and what disasters and opportunities there were.
They both waited quietly.
quite a while.
The wordless book that my sister originally said could predict good or bad luck in the future showed no reaction at all.
"Look. Let me just say that this bullshit heavenly book is fake." Meng Xinghe smiled disapprovingly. Those things that can predict the past and the future that only appear in novels are just fabricated. How can they exist in real life? .
But just when Meng Xinghe, an atheist, didn't care, the face of the sister next to him didn't seem to be very good-looking. It could even be said that the face was pale and green. Meng Xinghe didn't know what happened. He asked: "Sister, I am not in the book of heaven." Is there anything wrong with the record?"
Only then did my sister notice that there was someone standing next to her. She no longer looked as relaxed as before. She said: "As long as they are people in the world, their lives, longevity, merits, misfortunes and blessings will be recorded in the Book of Heaven. But now There is no record about you in the Book of Heaven. Do you know why?"
Meng Xinghe was puzzled and said: "Why."
My sister's face instantly turned cold: "Unless you are already dead, it will not be recorded in the Book of Heaven."
Damn it. A cold sweat broke out on Meng Xinghe's back. "Is it so mysterious? If I were dead, how could I stand in front of my sister alive?" Meng Xinghe smiled ugly, thinking in his heart. Logically speaking, he is indeed He is considered a dead person. He is just resurrected through a corpse.
My sister couldn't explain Meng Xinghe's situation. She said, "If you don't believe it, try to see if there are any mistakes in the Book of Heaven."
Meng Xinghe took a deep breath: "Just try it. I'm still afraid." Meng Xinghe stood in front of the Book of Heaven. He felt unsure. If the Book of Heaven was really that magical, he would have to study the book in front of him carefully in the future. Respecting things is like a monster.
