Wang Daheng packed up his luggage and brought along three days worth of dry food and smuggled goods. He let the orderly lead two of the best warhorses in the team. One horse sat on its own, and the other carried food.
However, when he went out, he felt that something was not right. Wang Zhuo asked him to go to Ning Bo, but he did not say how many soldiers he would bring to protect the emperor. In the future, he would not be able to escort Mao Wanwan over alone.
Wang Daheng regretted speaking so hastily just now. He didn't clarify this matter in front of Little Li. Now, he went to look for Wang Zhuo. He was afraid that he would be angry. The two of them didn't get along and quarreled on the spot.
If he had made the decision, he would have just taken his own small team of soldiers and horses. However, Wang Daheng was a little worried. With just 11 people's weapons, even a large group of bandits could not deal with them, let alone the fully armed Qing army.
If he needed more people, he couldn't make the decision alone. He would have to ask Wang Tiao to make the decision. Wang Daheng even felt that even if he brought the entire 5-soldier squad, a hundred people, what could they do?
Wang Daheng was worried about his safety, so he didn't have any confidence. He couldn't set off rashly for the time being. He still needed to go to Wang Zhuo's side to see if there was a better way.
He decided to try his luck at Wang Chao's tent, but he was more careful. He ordered the small orderly beside him to go with him. He asked the orderly Lin Dandan to go to Wang Chao's tent first to call Xiao Li out. He asked Xiao Li what to do.
If Xiao Li was also a fake brain and couldn't think of a solution, Wang Daheng could only brace himself and see Wang Zhuo. However, he didn't need to be nervous. He would let Xiao Li put in a good word for him first. He believed that Wang Zhuo would understand his difficulties.
Wang Daheng felt that Xiao Li was gradually growing up. Whether it was his personal understanding, observation, words, or actions, especially when Xiao Li came over to deliver the order, he secretly admired him. This kid followed behind Wang Zhuo and learned to be smarter. He no longer looked like the silly face when he was just an orderly.
Therefore, Wang Daheng believed that Xiao Li had a way to help him settle this problem, so that he had the right to challenge Wang Zhuo. Without Lord Wang's instructions, Wang Daheng could still smooth out the difficult things in his work and life.
However, when he thought about how he needed Little Li's help, Wang Daheng's conceited heart felt a little sour. He was even jealous of Little Li's intelligence. How could a servant be smarter than him?
He wanted to speak to Xiao Li with a stern face to maintain his superior face and dignity. He was worried that Xiao Li would hold back and deliberately not tell him a better and smarter way.
Therefore, Wang Daheng could only swallow his anger and bend down slightly to beg Xiao Li to get rid of the difficult matter in front of him first. After the situation stabilized, it would not be too late to let a servant like Xiao Li wag his pug tail from time to time.
Wang Daheng brought his orderly, Lin Dandan, to Wang Zhuo's tent. He stood outside the tent and didn't go in, letting Lin Dandan go in and call Little Li out.
Lin Dandan went into the tent with a wooden head. When he entered, he saw Xiao Li and hurriedly called him out. Xiao Li had just finished serving Wang Zhuo to take a bath and settled him down to rest. He was about to go to his own bed to lie for a while when he suddenly saw Wang Daheng's temporary orderly come in and call him. He was a little stunned and angry at the same time. He didn't even look at whose tent it was and shouted like this. Fortunately, Lord Wang was asleep. Otherwise! He really dared to teach him a lesson.
He quickly put a finger to his lips and shushed. He walked to Lin Dandan's side and pulled him out of the tent. Just as he was about to ask him what was going on, Wang Daheng walked over.
Wang Daheng tugged at the corner of Xiao Li's clothes. When he turned around, he asked,'Am I going to Ning Bo alone?' What if they encountered the Qing army or bandits?
When Xiao Li saw Wang Daheng, he was slightly stunned. He did not allow Wang Daheng to think too much and subconsciously replied to Wang Daheng that he would bring a few more people and horses.
Wang Daheng snorted. How many did he bring? My ten soldiers are definitely not enough. Even if all five soldiers go, there are only a hundred people. It's not enough for the Qing army to eat.
Little Li woke up and tried hard to pull his thoughts back to Wang Daheng's problem. He was just a small orderly, so he didn't need to care about such things. He could just push it all onto Wang Zhuo without any suspicion of responsibility.
However, Wang Zhuo had already trusted him quite a bit. Sometimes, he treated him as a military advisor, and there were many matters that he had to discuss with him. Even when he was not around, he would also let him handle some things.
Besides, Xiao Li had already tasted the satisfaction of material and spiritual senses from the compliments and flattery of the people below him. He really wanted to be below one person and above a hundred people.
Therefore, when Xiao Li encountered something, as long as he felt that he could handle it, he did not want to report it to Wang Tiao. At most, he would report it to Wang Tiao after the incident.
In addition, Wang Zhuo was busy with work and couldn't wait to relax. He couldn't be bothered to ask about the specific matters of Xiao Li's operation, which laid the foundation for Xiao Li to control a certain amount of power in the 5-man squad.
Fortunately, Xiao Li wasn't a person with ambition. He just liked to be busy with money and sex. He was willing to offer Wang Zhuo the opportunity to continue leading the 5th platoon until he was promoted and transferred away or saw a ghost in battle. Only then was Xiao Li willing to sit in the top position of the 5th platoon.
However, even if Xiao Li wanted to be the leader of the 5-soldier squad, Bastard A might not like him. In addition, Wang Daheng and his relatives were elders in the 5-soldier squad. Naturally, they would not transfer the power to him.
Therefore, it was already good enough for Xiao Li to keep his position as the captain of the fifth soldier. He did not dare to have any thoughts of going up a level.
Xiao Li really wanted to throw Wang Daheng's question to Wang Zhuo and let him do as he pleased. He was just an orderly and did not have such a job responsibility.
However, Xiao Li thought of the consequences of waking Wang Zhuo up. Being disturbed during sleep had always been a taboo for Wang Zhuo. In addition, Wang Zhuo hoped that his subordinates would handle some small matters on their own, similar to the problem of Wang Daheng's safety when he went out. In his opinion, ordinary small matters could be handled by one person. There was no need to spread it to him.
Even though the city of Ning Bo was still in the hands of the Qing army, Wang Zhuo still dared to barge into Ning Bo alone. He did not think that the Qing army was that scary. Many Han soldiers were suffering from being bullied by the Tartars. As long as they were a little cautious in their words and deeds, most of the Qing army would not make things difficult for such ordinary people.
Even though some people in the Qing army had been doing bad things their whole lives, they only represented a minority. It did not mean that the Qing army was willing to do bad things to the people.
Besides, Wang Tianchao had secretly contacted some gangs like the Heaven and Earth Society, so he wasn't worried that the underworld could deal with him unscrupulously. Even if it was for money, the underworld figures could turn hostile at any time. Once they saw the loyalty of the underworld, they would show some mercy.
Since ancient times, the mafia that valued loyalty was not considered a real mafia. The mafia that did not even have reason and loyalty was the real mafia that ate people.
Thus, Xiao Li did not plan to report to Wang Zhuo. He simply flattered or scared Wang Daheng a few times, forcing him to think of a way to pick up the person from Ning Bo.
However, Xiao Li didn't plan to set a trap for Wang Daheng. He just wanted to send Wang Daheng away as soon as possible, and it would be best if he could bring Wang Zhuo's good friend Mao Wanwan back safely.
If Wang Daheng didn't go to Hangzhou, or if there was a safety problem in Hangzhou, even if the insiders, including Wang Daheng, said that it wasn't Xiao Li's responsibility, Wang Zhuo might not forgive Xiao Li.
After all, the order was passed down by Xiao Li, and some specific matters could be decided by Xiao Li. Although Xiao Li was afraid to show his face and was always willing to cower behind Wang Zhuo, he didn't dare to leave Wang Zhuo to make decisions. However, if something happened, he had the weight of responsibility.
Even if Xiao Li was wronged, it was still a helpless thing. Who asked him to sit beside the main leader? His words and deeds were easily taken as the leader's intentions by his subordinates. Although it raised Xiao Li's status, it also brought him corresponding responsibilities.
Therefore, when it came to matters that Wang Zhuo didn't care about, Xiao Li could only do it himself, personally handling the trivial matters of the 5th platoon, afraid that he would get into trouble.
Xiao Li made up his mind and quickly smiled to persuade Wang Daheng, Uncle Daheng! The trip to Ningpo was not too far away and would only take a few hours. If he wanted to be safe and smooth, he might as well not lead his troops. He would disguise himself as an ordinary merchant. Even if he was met by the Qing army or bandits, he could at most spend some money to buy travel expenses to ensure his safety.
Wang Daheng was unhappy. He felt that Xiao Li had never gone out before and did not know the consequences of meeting a rude stranger. He looked up at him and said that it was too chaotic outside. It was really uneasy to walk alone. Even if he did not bring many troops, he should bring a few close followers.
He also wanted to say that he was carrying living supplies and needed two horses to transport them. No matter what, one person could not handle it.
Xiao Li squeezed out another smile on his face, afraid that Wang Daheng would suspect him of using his official position to take revenge and use this opportunity to ruin him.
Then, Xiao Li interrupted Wang Daheng and comforted him. He would bring a few soldiers and pick some strong men. He would say that they were his family. This would deceive others and help him on the road.
Wang Daheng rolled his eyes at him and asked him how many soldiers he should bring to ensure his safety.
Xiao Li was a little stunned. He was a little uncertain about the unexpected situation on Wang Daheng's way. According to the rules of the people who often walked in the martial arts world, it was safer to keep a low profile. If Wang Daheng had a group of people around him, it would be easy to attract the attention of the officials and bandits. Once they investigated, Wang Daheng would not be able to hide his identity.
Wang Daheng's accident wasn't the main point. The main point was Wang Zhuo's friend Mao Wanwan. If she couldn't come to Fenghua City and meet Zhang Deshui's close friend, Mr. Lin, and delayed the matter between Bastard A and General Wan, Wang Zhuo might be torn into pieces by the furious General Wan.
Therefore, Xiao Li was worried that Wang Daheng would be too ostentatious and easily expose his target, so he wanted to suggest that he bring a few people with him. It was best to bring three or four people, and definitely not more than five people. As long as the soldiers were skilled, one person could deal with three or four ordinary people, which was enough to deter and cover them.
Thus, Xiao Li smiled and reminded Wang Daheng to bring at most four people to ensure a safe journey.
Wang Daheng subconsciously asked him, really? He could walk safely with only four people? He hoped to find a safe place to rely on Xiao Li, enough to comfort his restless heart.
Xiao Li's heart couldn't help but tighten a few times. He was only making a hypothesis. How could he guarantee that nothing would happen to Wang Daheng? On account of the fact that they had completed the work together, he no longer had the thought of laughing at Wang Daheng. He only hoped that he could quickly complete the task Wang Zhuo had given him and that everyone would live in peace.
Knowing that he couldn't dampen Wang Daheng's enthusiasm for work, Xiao Li quickly woke up and replied,"I'm sure you'll be fine. You can go without worry. When you come back, I'll treat you to three big meals. I'll pay for all the expenses for playing in Cui Hua Restaurant."
When he heard about eating, drinking, and having fun, Wang Daheng instinctively became excited. He asked again, really?
Xiao Li couldn't help but snicker in his heart. If he was caught by the Qing army, he deserved it.
He quickly replied, absolutely! He turned to persuade Wang Daheng to go and come back quickly. I'll wait for you!
Wang Daheng humphed and cupped his fists. He waved at Little Li and said that he had left. He turned around and walked towards his tent. Before he left, he did not forget to shout," Lin Dandan, hurry up. Let's go to Ning Bo together!"
Lin Dandan quickly agreed and turned around to nod at Xiao Li to bid farewell before following Wang Daheng back to the tent.
However, he hated Wang Daheng in his heart. It was fine if he went to Ning Bo alone to show off! Why did he have to take the risk?
He had been standing beside Xiao Li and Wang Daheng just now, listening to their conversation. Seeing Xiao Li's sinister smile, Lin Dandan instinctively had an ominous feeling. This trip to Hangzhou must be difficult and risky. Xiao Li's eyes would definitely be burning with desire. He would have long snatched it himself.
Wang Daheng did not care whether Lin Dandan was willing or not. He was prepared to bring a total of four people, including Lin Dandan. Even if he was worried about the Qing army and bandits, he felt that Xiao Li was right. In front of a great enemy, it was better to keep a low profile.
Between people, they would fight because they were not convinced. Therefore, Wang Daheng first kept a low profile. Under the condition that he did not expose his identity as the Taiping Army, he had the highest chance of survival if he met the Qing army or bandits. Even if they plundered money, at most, they would give him silver to eliminate the disaster.
Therefore, Wang Daheng didn't forget to bring more silver. Since he had forgotten to mention money when he saw Xiao Li just now, it was business after all. He couldn't take out a single cent from his own pocket, so he had no choice but to think of ways to raise money.
He wanted to rush to Wang Zhuo's tent immediately and ask Xiao Li to take out a thousand taels of silver. He didn't want silver notes, only cash silver. Because of the war, he was worried that silver notes wouldn't be easy to spend.
If Xiao Li didn't dare to take the money out of the soldiers 'public funds, Wang Daheng could only wake up the sleeping Wang Zhuo and let him take the money.
Thinking of looking for Wang Chuo to discuss matters, Wang Daheng felt a little cold. He was afraid of this relative who liked to turn hostile and disown people. He was worried that the two of them would not get along and ruin the matter of asking for money.
Wang Daheng had a small plan in his heart. He wanted to use this business trip opportunity to get a sum of money for his business trip.
Although Fenghua wasn't far from Ningpo, even if they took a sedan chair and ate wine, four or five people wouldn't spend more than a thousand taels of silver in a day or two. However, Wang Daheng needed to raise the cost of traveling to make a profit.
He even thought that even if he didn't encounter the Qing army or robbers along the way, he would make up a lie to deceive Xiao Li and Wang Zhuo, saying that he had been robbed on the way and had no money left. He almost couldn't get Mao Wanwan back.
In order to make his performance realistic, it would be best if he shed tears on the spot to arouse their sympathy. In addition to absolute trust in him, they would also reward him with a large sum of money as a material reward to calm him down and comfort him.
However, Wang Daheng knew that he couldn't lie to himself. Looking at the confused and surprised expressions of Xiao Li and Wang Zhuo, perhaps he felt that it was fun and couldn't help but laugh out loud. If he was exposed, he would be finished.
Therefore, Wang Daheng needed to carry an embroidery needle with him and put it in his sleeve. Once he felt that it was difficult to control his emotions, he would pinch the needle and pierce his skin with all his might, letting the pain on his skin suppress the possibility of a smile.
Perhaps the pain would bring more tears, which would further accentuate their sadness. They could not help but believe in his experience under the control of sympathy.
