"Anything else?"
Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and asked.
"Brother, there is also...about Han Shizhong!"
Shi Qian spoke.
"Han Shizhong? Is Jiangnan's story over?"
Sun Lei asked.
"It's over. Liu Yanqing defeated Muzhou and Yang Weizhong defeated Shezhou. After that, they entered Bangyuan Cave and Mingjiao was considered dead."
"Fortunately, my brother helped the Ming Cult delay for some time. The women and children of the Ming Cult all evacuated to the southern mountains. Tong Guan and others obtained Fang La's body and destroyed the lair. They were unwilling to go deep into the smoky land, so they withdrew their troops."
"However, many people from the Ming Cult died in the battle after we left. Most of them died in the battles of Muzhou and Shezhou. This was also to buy time for the women and children to escape."
Shi Qian spoke.
"It's also expected. If you want to escape from Fang La, it's not enough. You must also get some of the main forces of Mingjiao to make the court think that it has been almost wiped out. There is no need to waste money and food."
Sun Lei nodded and said, fighting with an army of hundreds of thousands is a big expense. As long as the Mingjiao is wiped out to a certain extent, the court will no longer be willing to take care of it.
"Han Shizhong didn't get any military honors, did he?"
Sun Lei asked with a smile. He made a bet with Han Shizhong, and he won in the end.
"Really not. Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong are the same as each other. Tong Guan didn't look down on his achievements and gave them all to his subordinates. Han Shizhong didn't get any of it, and Liu Yanqing didn't dare to care. Later, Yang Weizhong couldn't stand it. I wrote directly to Tokyo, and then Han Shizhong was given Cheng Jielang."
Shi Qian spoke.
"Chengjie Lang? Fifty-first level, from the ninth level?"
Sun Lei took a bite and shook his head. With Han Shizhong's level of merit, only one Chengjie Lang was awarded. This was not only a shame for Han Shizhong, but also chilled the hearts of those soldiers who fought bloody battles.
"Is he willing?"
Sun Lei continued to ask.
"Of course he is not willing to give in, but what can he do? Now he is just drinking to drown his sorrows, and now he is obsessed with a camp prostitute in Jingkou."
Shi Qian spoke.
"Infatuated with a camp prostitute?"
Sun Lei frowned and asked. There are many types of prostitutes. He remembered that Han Shizhong had a wife, Liang Hongyu, who was a prostitute. This kind of prostitute was different from a brothel. It was more like the singers and dancers of the Jiaofang Division. They were almost all the wives of prisoners. To the outside world, a female actor is just a performer but not a prostitute.
"Han Shizhong is a Chengjie Lang. I'm afraid he can't stay in a place like Jiaofang for a long time!"
Sun Lei asked, the law stipulates that the members of the monastery can "sing and dance with wine" and are not allowed to "serve at the pillow table privately".
But after all, kaifang geishas were of low status, and they were all guilty. They would inevitably become the playthings of the powerful, but that was only limited to the powerful. Cheng Jielang, an official the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean, was still not qualified.
"That's when Tong Guan opened his mouth when the troops returned home in triumph, and then they asked the prostitutes from the Jingkou camp to reward the army. But when they came in, Han Shizhong was always near Jingkou and didn't want to leave!"
Shi Qian smiled and said.
"Send someone to check who can make Han Shizhong faint!"
Sun Lei nodded.
"Yes, brother!"
Shi Qian nodded.
"Brother, besides, Tong Guan has returned to Tokyo. Do you need to go there?"
Shi Qian looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"It's not necessary. It's enough to have Lehe, Ma Lin, and Cao Zheng. In addition, I'm going to ask Sister Gu and Sun Xin to come over and do the same hotel business!"
Sun Lei said, Tokyo just needs to pay attention, and it would be better to let Mrs. Gu and Sun Xin go over and open a hotel.
"How many elite spies do you have?"
Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and asked.
"If we say elite, there are only two hundred people!"
Shi Qian said, the elite ones can at least go deep behind enemy lines to complete the exploration mission alone.
"Well, that's enough, send some to Yanyun!"
Sun Lei nodded.
Shi Qian quickly accepted the order and left.
"Brother, do you want to send a few caravans to Yanyun?"
Zhu Fu suggested.
"Okay, you can make arrangements in the next few days! It's best to go to those big cities!"
Sun Lei readily agreed. A caravan can reach far more people than an individual, and can also gather more information.
After chatting about business and eating cooking cakes, Sun Lei and his family continued to visit Liangshan Town. The child was tired from playing long ago and fell asleep in Sun Lei's arms. Li Shishi and Hua Chan also bought a lot of clothes, fabrics and jewelry. Only then did the family return to Liangshan.
Jingkou.
"Cheng Jielang, what are you doing?"
The steward of the Jiaofang looked at Han Shizhong and said speechlessly, he had seen lustful people, but never such an eager one. There were hooks and bars everywhere in the brothel, but the person in front of him was still pestering the Jiaofang.
"I just want to go in and have a drink!"
Han Shizhong said, and after speaking, he was ready to rush inside.
"Cheng Jielang, if you want a woman, go to a brothel to hook up. We are a court of the imperial court. The law stipulates that we can only perform as a reward to the army. Now that the army has left, you are not following the rules!"
The steward looked at Han Shizhong and said righteously.
"I only have a glass of water and wine, and I don't do anything else!"
Han Shizhong said a little irritably.
"Chengjielang, this is not a place to drink!"
The Jiaofang envoy led the people out and happened to see the troublesome Han Shizhong. He frowned and said.
Han Shizhong saw that all the envoys had come out, so he had no choice but to give up. The envoy was a seventh-rank official, and he, a ninth-rank Chengjie man, could not control it.
"Qianfang Envoy!"
Just when Han Shizhong was about to leave, Wang Yuan's voice sounded.
"General Wang!"
Qianfang, who had been cold-faced just now, immediately changed his face when he saw Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan was now a member of the Xuanshe family, acting as an agent for the capital city and doing some criminal and prison affairs, although he was still in the seventh rank. , but this is a real official from the capital.
"Envoy Qianfang, for your convenience, my brother and I are going to have a drink!"
Wang Yuanke knew the rules much better than Han Shizhong. He stepped forward with a smile and put two silver ingots into the hands of the Qianfang envoy.
The envoy of Qianfang took the silver, immediately put his hand into his sleeve robe, and hid the silver.
"I heard that General Wang is going back to Tokyo to report on his duties? Congratulations! There just happened to be a new song and dance in the workshop. General Wang gave me some advice!"
The Qianfang envoy said with a smile that the Jiaofang is not a brothel. It is mainly responsible for the teaching, rehearsal, and performance of music, dance, and various operas other than elegant music. There are also tasks every year.
"Then thank you Qianfangshi!"
Wang Yuan smiled and cupped his hands.
"Let's go, Brother Han!"
Wang Yuan pulled Han Shizhong into the classroom.
"I'm so fascinated that I'm dizzy!"
Shi Qian on the street corner shook his head and sneered when he saw these people. The hero was saddened by the beauty, and Han Shizhong was nothing more than that.
When Shi Qian came to the vicinity of the Jiaofang and saw no one around, he jumped over the courtyard wall and entered the Jiaofang.
As soon as he entered the workshop, he heard the sound of musical instruments. Shi Qian followed the sound quietly and soon arrived at a hall where many women were dancing. Han Shizhong and Wang Yuan were sitting in the hall listening to music and watching singing and dancing.
Wang Yuan looked intoxicated and kept stroking his short beard, while Han Shizhong lowered his head and drank sullenly, not even looking at the singers and dancers.
But soon a woman with a heroic face walked out, and the dancers on the dance floor dispersed. The woman held a ceremonial sword and danced on the dance floor.
At this time, Han Shizhong changed his face and looked at the sword dancing woman in a daze.
