Jiangning Prefecture is Nanjing in later generations. The famous "Six Dynasties, the Ten Miles of Qinhuai River" is famous all over the world. Its prosperity is not as good as Hangzhou, which is the capital of Jiangnan, but it is not far away. Most of the cloth merchants and tea merchants are concentrated here, with merchants gathering in the city and talented men everywhere. There are thousands of beauties sitting on the banks of the Qinhuai River, making the reputation of Qinhuai River spread thousands of miles.

Jiangning is far away from Muzhou, and there has not been a major turmoil. However, many people in the martial arts world took advantage of the situation and ran rampant in the townships. Recently, there have been several waves of bandits, which caused panic among the wealthy and wealthy merchants in Jiangning City. As the saying goes, "The troops and horses will go first before they move their food and grass." Rebellion and war are not enough. Military pay, food, donkeys and horses are the top priority. Most of the wealthy families in Muzhou fled when they heard the news, and the robbed money and grain cannot support the expenses of hundreds of thousands of rebels. For this reason, many of the Jianghu people under Fang La were wandering around the south of the Yangtze River, looking for local wealthy families to borrow money to raise military pay. Jiangning, where merchants gathered, was naturally the goal. It was said that it was borrowing, but in fact, they all understood the meaning. There was no way to go and fight a dog.

Jiangnan is rich in the world and rich in the country. There are many aristocratic families. People can escape, and real estate such as fields, tea houses, etc. cannot escape. For the rebels who come to borrow money, major aristocratic families dare not offend them. Most aristocratic families lose money and save money and leave a fame.

Some people are willing to borrow money, but some are unwilling. The Chen family in Jiangning Mansion, relying on their good relationship with the court, reported to the official position when the thief first came to the door, and then caused a big disaster. The eldest son Chen Qiming, also known as the "No. 1 Talent in Jiangning", was directly kidnapped by the thief from the poetry meeting and asked for 100,000 yuan in silver, otherwise they would not even see the body.

This was frightened by the Chen family. It took hundreds of years to produce such a study seed. How could he die by relying on Chen Qiming to shine on his family? So the Chen family found the prefect of Jiangning for help. The court naturally could not send military pay in the face of the rebels, so they directly sent people to suppress the bandits and rescue them. As a result, the people were not rescued, and instead angered Fang La's rebels. Qiu Dao Ren, one of Fang La's generals, personally rushed to Jiangning Mansion and tied up all the princes of several major families in the city and demanded a ransom of one million taels.

Qiu Daoren was one of the leaders of the uprising army. His original name was Qiu Rixin. He was originally a monk. He had not yet cultivated Taoism and learned martial arts. He had been in Yuezhou for many years and was considered the leader of the Yuezhou world. Because "Qiu" and "Qiu" pronunciation are similar, he was called "Qiu Daoren". After Fang La's uprising, Qiu Daoren took the lead in breaking into the county town to respond, killed the county magistrate and formed a team of nearly a thousand people, becoming one of the eight cavalry under Fang La.

The hatred is famous for his reputation. He has been doing kidnapped and basically does not leave any living allowances. Many Jiangnan families have heard of it.

The Chen family regretted it was too late, so they hurriedly raised 100,000 taels of silver to send it over. As a result, the Qiu Daoist took the money and refused to let him go. He said that one million taels were one million taels, and one hundred thousand taels could only buy one hand. In despair, the Chen family could only sell the property and borrow money to raise money. After the government failed to clear the crackdown, they could only ask for help from superiors. But Xuanfu envoy Tan Zhen was busy fighting to suppress the rebellion, and he had the heart to care about the bandits. It was also at this time that Li Shishi had a tour to Jiangning Mansion. He had just leaked his face in the Qinhuai River, and was invited away by the disguised Qiu Daoist...

----

In mid-September, dozens of bandits camped on the Wushagang south of Jiangning City and built simple shacks.

The night rains are drizzling, and there is no light at all in the eyes of the wild mountains. Occasionally, beasts howl and crows cry from the autumn maple all over the mountains. Between the mountains, ordinary people cannot find the southeast, west and north.

There is a naturally formed cave on the mountain, not too big. The entrance of the cave was pressed against a thick wooden fence. Two men with bandit-like spirit stood at the door with their knives, and sometimes looked back and looked at them.

Because the light could not be transmitted, there was a bonfire burning in the cave. Several young men from aristocratic families sat by the bonfire without saying a word. The gorgeous robes were still intact, but they were dirty and could not show their original nobleness.

Next to the stone wall not far away, Li Shishi held her knees and sat on the ground paved with thatch. She had been locked up for nearly ten days. Her thin dance skirt was stained with stains, her sleeves were missing, and her white arms were exposed. She had only used a piece of branch as a hairpin and tied up her long hair like water. Her cheeks were still calm, but there was a bit of worry between her eyebrows.

The maid Huan'er's eyes were red, and she curled up and sat next to her, with a slap mark on her face. She secretly ran to inform her of her secret identity. This group of people in the martial arts world only recognized Fang La and did not care about her mercy at all.

"Miss, don't be afraid, someone will come to save us."

Huan'er held it in for too long and leaned against Li Shishi. I don't know whether to comfort Li Shishi or himself.

Li Shishi raised his hand and hugged Huan'er by his side, with beautiful eyes as quiet as water: "It's okay, they caught me, just to offer to Fang La to humiliate the current emperor. A woman like me killed a woman who was wasteful of resources and lived in another place, maybe it would be safer than before."

Huan'er pursed her lips, but she knew that she was telling the truth. Li Shishi, a famous courtesan, was harmless and meaningless to kill. From kings and princes to merchants, they wanted to take her as their own, but because of this, people who have no ability really dared not touch her, let alone her having something to do with Dangjinzi. These people in the martial arts world arrested her and wanted to give her to Fang La to anger the Emperor of Song to death. It was probably the meaning of "Your emperor cannot get a woman, now under the crotch of the Holy Lord", which made the unknown servant lose its meaning when touched.

For Li Shishi, from a brothel singer to a canary raised by a hero, the environment is indeed better than before. After all, no matter how fierce and cruel Fang La is, she will not let the toys under her crotch eat and wear or wear. Maybe she can get the title of "concubine" and have a few maids to serve her.

As for freedom and other things, it is not up to you to decide where a woman who is drifting with the flow.

Huan'er thought about it and lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "I had known that the lady would marry a talented man in Zhou Da, so she would be spared from being missed."

Li Shishi smiled softly, and was silent for a long time before smiling slightly: "Escape, escape, escape, escape, people, when you can't escape, maybe you'll be here..."

Huan'er pursed her lips: "Someone will definitely come to save us. Cao Taisui is in Jiangnan. When she knows, she will definitely come to save the lady... He promised me that she would have the chance to send me home..."

Li Shishi was stunned, looked down at Huan'er's forehead for a few times:

"What nonsense..."

I can't see outside in the cave, and I don't know when it's time.

Five young men from aristocratic families were sitting by the fire and drowsy. Chen Qiming occasionally looked back at Li Shishi. He wanted to use his talented demeanor to say a few words, but at this time he was interested.

Praise—

Suddenly, the sound of chains slight fluctuations sounded.
