Chapter 902: Crossing the River in White Clothes (1)

That night, Li Guodong held a big banquet in the army, first to welcome Gan Hui and Shen Yunying, and second to prepare a banquet for tomorrow's war.

Women in military uniforms, including Chen Yunying, took turns to perform their martial arts, which won applause from the soldiers.

Late at night, the banquet ended, Chen Yunying and Shan'er returned to their own camp.

The two of them took off their armor and were about to fall asleep, but Shan'er suddenly said: "Miss, Duke Chu is a great hero in the world. The lady has been widowed for more than three years. Shan'er saw that Duke Chu also had some affection for you. It would be better to remarry Duke Chu."

"You little girl is talking nonsense!" Chen Yunying reached out to slap Shan'er, "Duke Chu has a real wife, I am a widow, and I can only be a young man if I really go. If you want to be a young man for the Duke Chu, you go! I'd better be a widow for my husband for the rest of my life."

"Miss, Shan'er wants to accompany the lady for the rest of her life and never go anywhere."

Chen Yunying said quietly: "Shan'er, although you and I are like sisters, you still have to get married. You are not young anymore. If you don't want to go to the Duke of Chu's mansion to be a young man, then I will arrange a Ruyi husband for you. There are many talents in the Huai army and there are so many heroes. Why don't Shan'er choose one?"

"The lady refused to marry again, so Shan'er will stay with the lady for the rest of her life and take care of the lady."

"Silly girl, a man is married when he is married when he is married when he is married when he is married. I have already married, so how can I be worthy of these heroes and heroes in the army? You are still an unmarried girl, hurry up and find a good man to marry."

The two girls were lying on the couch, and they couldn't sleep, and each had their own thoughts. To be honest, Chen Yunying had a very good impression of Li Guodong, but she couldn't do such a thing when she asked her to go to the Duke's Mansion to be a concubine. Shan'er was unwilling to get married. She was only worried that if she got married, the lady would be left without anyone to take care of her and could only live alone.

The next morning, Huizhou's water and land camp was roaring and drums, and warships untied the cables. With Li Guodong's order, the Huai Army advanced along the water and land, down the East River, and headed straight for Guangzhou. The Huai Army's mission was to help the Zheng family army open the Pearl River channel, rather than to fight head-on with the rebel Pearl River Navy. Therefore, Li Guodong ordered that the navy troops be divided into two routes, one by one, and the target was directly aimed at the direction of Guangzhou City. This route was the main naval division of the Huai Army, but it was a feint attacking force, with the purpose of attracting the rebel navy to the front line of Fengpu, Panyu (now Huangpu); while the other route of the Huai Army was mainly a fleet of land divisions, merchant ships and small boats, but headed straight for Humen.

Master Lu crossed the Dongjiang River and headed straight for Dongguan along the south bank of the Dongjiang River.

Time is tight. Li Guodong did not intend to attack Dongguan, but decided to use the suspicious soldiers on the North Road to attract the opportunity of the rebels and attack Dongguan County.

A merchant ship was flowing down the Dongjiang River, followed by two cargo ships full of grain.

The merchant ship was the first to be a large merchant ship with a hull of a blessed ship, but there were two floors above the main deck. Melodious music came from the platform on the second floor. Accompanied by the sound of guzheng music and the sound of a woman singing, a stunning woman in a lake green silk skirt was dancing on the deck, attracting the working people on the riverside and patrolling rebel soldiers looking at the big ship intently.

"This little lady is so beautiful." A fisherman sighed.

"Boy, you can't see your face so far away. How do you know that this girl is so beautiful?" asked an old fisherman.

The young fisherman replied, "Lao Dou (the meaning of a father in Cantonese), this big ship is obviously a big ship for rich people. If it looks ugly, will the rich want an ugly girl?"

Ten miles downstream, there is a beacon tower for rebels.

"There is a fleet coming upstream. Brothers, please give me some tips! Then Li Lao Er is very tricky, don't let someone attack you!" An officer on the beacon tower put down his monocular lens and shouted to his soldiers.

There are two soldiers in this beacon tower, a total of twenty people.

The fleet was approaching, and the melodious music drifted in the wind and came into the ears of every rebel soldier on the beacon tower.

"It seems to be a passenger ship from a wealthy family." Someone said.

A soldier put on a pergola and looked out at the passenger ship, and found a woman in green dancing on the boat. The soldier shouted, "There are still women!"

"There are still four! There is one in the cabin singing, and there are two maids next to it."

When Shi Chang heard the soldiers' shouts, he immediately picked up the telescope he bought from Haojing and looked at the big ship from afar, wanting to see the woman's face, but the woman faced east and showed at most a side face when dancing. She couldn't see clearly what she looked like, but looking at the side face, you could vaguely feel that she was a stunning woman.

Under the beacon tower, there is a checkpoint on the river surface. There are three soldiers and more than 30 people in the checkpoint. This checkpoint is actually used by officers and soldiers to check cash on the river surface. In this place in Guangdong, the government cannot collect taxes from passing merchant ships, but the lack of commercial tax does not mean that merchant ships do not have to pay bank. In those places, hundreds of households, thousands of households, and some local officials will set up checkpoints on the river surface to charge tolls from passing merchant ships.

These income naturally falls into the pockets of military officers and local officials, and has nothing to do with the court.

"It must be a big fish with a woman! Stop the fleet!" the officer put down his telescope and shouted.

The rebel soldiers at the checkpoint rowed a quick-post ship away from the river and sailed towards the merchant fleet that was coming. After a while, the quick-post ship stopped the passenger ship led: "Stop the ship to check! Put the ship to the shore!"

The music on the ship ended abruptly, the woman in green screamed in shock, the woman singing in the cabin and the two maids beside her were also fancy. However, the rebel sailors on the fast-sentence ship in front of them didn't pay any attention, and the four stunning women had weapons hidden.

The merchant ship obediently followed the orders of the express ship and leaned up to the shore checkpoint. After a while, the ship stopped at the dock.

The rebel soldiers came out one after another and tied the ship.

The woman in green, the woman in pink and two maids were so scared that she hid in the cabin and did not dare to show up. However, the rebel soldiers on the shore found that the beauty was missing, so someone couldn't wait to bring the springboard to get on the boat to see her beauty.

The rebel officer brought more than a dozen soldiers onto the passenger ship. As soon as the officer got on the ship, he walked straight into the cabin, hoping to see the two women up close.

"Jun Ye, Cao Min is a small businessman. I hope Jun Ye will be proud of his own." A man who looked like a shopkeeper walked out.

"Routine inspection!" The officer snorted coldly, "Huizhou has lost its hand of rebels. You came down from Huizhou upstream. All ships passing by should be inspected to avoid hiding the rebels."

The shopkeeper dared not stop him, so he had to watch the rebel officers and soldiers walking into the cabin.

The rebel officer had just walked into the cabin and saw four women trembling in a corner of the cabin. The officer hurried forward and shouted loudly: "Four little ladies, lift your head and show it to you!"

The four women turned around, the rebel officer was stunned and saliva stayed unconsciously: "So beautiful! What a rare stunning beauty!"

"Come here!" the rebel officer shouted, "Take these four women away! I suspect they are Li Zhe's detailed works!"

"Mr. Jun, I can't do it, I can't do it! These are two little girls and a personal maid. I hope Jun. Jun. I'll show his hands high." The shopkeeper hurriedly knelt on the ground, hugged the officer's legs and begged hard.

"Little girl? Why do I look so like a thief army's work?" The officer sneered. However, he was secretly proud in his heart: Okay, there will be four beauties to accompany him tonight. Such a beautiful woman can't be used up, and then I can send two to Guangzhou Prefecture. The twins can be given to the Governor. If the Governor receives such a valuable gift, he can take care of himself more.

The four soldiers walked into the inner cabin and were about to take the four women away, but who knew that the four women suddenly took action, and the sharp short sword was placed on the necks of the four soldiers. At the same time, the shopkeeper who had just been subdued as if he had changed his own person, subduing the officer.
