Chapter 167(1/2)
Four and a half days round trip!
It was all because of the outboard that could travel thousands of miles a day. After returning to Yangzhou again, Zhu Guoqiang quietly came to a large mansion near the military camp. It was a different business outside the local gentry city. It was next to the military camp. In the cold winter, living in a house must be more comfortable than being in a tent.
When he returned to his house, Zhu Guoqiang immediately ordered someone to call Liu Hanyi, Ge Cunye and the generals of each battalion, and said to them as soon as he met.
"Everyone is ready. The troops have been to Taixing County in the past two days while they are in the dark and go to Shizhuang to board the boat and go out to sea."
With just this sentence, everyone knew that the prince's trip must be extremely smooth. While they said that the troops could set off at any time, Chen Wudi mentioned another thing.
"Criminal, the army can set off at any time, but the key is how to keep it confidential. Tens of thousands of troops march for hundreds of miles. It may not be that easy to not disturb the place."
"Yes, Prince, not only is it a problem to keep the marching confidential, but it is also a problem to marching in the snow and ice,"
"Yes, the prince, especially the army arrived in Liaodong, and marched hundreds of miles in the snow and ice. The soldiers were inevitably frostbite. This must be considered."
Faced with the questions raised by everyone, Zhu Guoqiang shook his head and said.
“None of these are the problems!”
These are definitely not problems. There are some ways to march in the snow and ice. As for keeping warm... Going back and ordering some leather boots, hats and other clothes on the other side should basically ensure that the army will not be frostbite or freeze to death. He has considered a lot of these problems these days, and of course there are many solutions.
Looking at everyone, Zhu Guoqiang said directly.
"I will come to find a way to go in winter. This time I will lead 20,000 troops to fight. There are more than 15,000 people left in the camp. These people will make more than 30,000 people. It is not difficult to do this. As long as you go to Yangzhou every day to ask for money and food, if someone dares to break into the military camp or peek around the military camp..."
Zhu Guoqiang's eyes narrowed slightly and he said sternly.
"Kill without mercy!"
Finally, he even emphasized.
"After killing, I hang my head on the wall. This will not be the only way for others to peek at. By the way, who else wants to inquire about what the outside world wants to ask about these days?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hanyi smiled.
"Criminal, it has been spread all over the world in Yangzhou these days. You said that you forced the famous brothels invited by Zheng Yuanxun from Songjiang to serve the bed while attending the banquet in the film garden. The famous prostitute Liu refused to obey. You even dared to use the lives of the people in the city to show their power. In the past few days, you have been addicted to the gentle land all day long and have never left the mansion!"
Forced robbery of a woman...
This drama was added temporarily by Zhu Guoqiang. In fact, when he went to Zheng Yuanxun to attend the banquet, all he thought about was just bringing back a few "Yangzhou thin horses". The matter on the pleasure boat was just a temporary idea.
"Oh, I guess the local scholars in Yangzhou don't know how to arrange me!"
"The prince is very powerful, who dares to arrange it!"
When Ge Cunye's words fell, Zhu Guoqiang laughed.
"It turns out that they are still afraid of the knife in my hand!"
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can’t explain it clearly. These people... are just bad things!
While laughing, he also made arrangements for the marching and other matters. After everyone left, Zhu Guoqiang, who felt a little tired, got up and walked towards the back house. As the prince was about to enter the back house, Wang Xi said softly.
"The prince, Miss Liu and Miss Li are in Yunxiang Building next to the study. Will the prince go tonight?"
When Wang Xi reminded this, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of the cold and arrogant woman, so he nodded and said.
"Go and go and take a look."
Some people always want to meet. Although forcing the robbery of a young woman is just a show, they always have to meet the robbed woman now.
Yunxianglou is right by the small lake in the park. When Zhu Guoqiang walked there, a woman stood by the corridor of Yunxianglou, staring blankly at the frozen lake. Another woman in fox fur cloak next to her couldn't help but whisper.
"Sister, you can't stay here all day. The weather is too cold. What if you catch a cold or get a cold?"
After saying that, she ordered the maid beside her.
"Xiyun, why don't you take the cloak over and put it on for your lady?"
"Yes, I'll get it now."
"Sister, don't let Xiyun tribe, I'll just go into the house now."
After entering the room, she walked to the table. She had just sipped the tea, but her eyes fell on the long sword on the table. She was holding the tea cup and there was a little melancholy between her eyebrows. At this moment, the door over there was pushed open, and then a surprised whisper reached her ears.
"Oh, the little girl has met the prince!"
It's him!
It was almost an instinct. The woman who was standing by the table and was pitying her wounded alone suddenly drew out her long sword...
When he walked into the room, the first thing that caught his eye was Zhang Jiaoxiang's face. Before Zhu Guoqiang could react, various expressions flashed on his extremely beautiful face.
Shocked, surprised, surprised?
"ah!"
First there was a scream, and then a string of soft Wu dialect words came into my ears.
"The little girl has met the prince!"
The one who bent her knees to do good luck was the opera that day. No, the charming woman who sang like snowy skin, but she was beautiful but had no personality.
But as a modern steel straight man, Zhu Guoqiang is straightforward, he - look at his face.
“No gifts…”
Before he could come forward to help the girl up in person, the sound of the sword coming out of the sheath came into his ears. Looking along with the sound, Zhu Guoqiang saw the woman performing sword dance standing in the room holding the sword, staring at him with a glaring eyes.
Have a personality!
"elder sister!"
"Miss……"
Amid the screams of the woman in the room, Zhu Guoqiang walked straight to the table and sat down. Then he stared at her and said.
"You want to kill me?"
"you……"
"But you dare not!"
"You want to commit suicide?"
"I……"
"But you dare not!"
In the seemingly simple self-question, the sword in her hand trembled slightly, and the confused expression flashed in her eyes, but in the end she was covered with tears.
With a "clang" sound, the moment the sword fell to the ground, tears flowed out of her eyes and slid down her beautiful cheeks.
"You, your prince, why do you bully me a woman? Is this a hero?
When she asked in a deep voice, the tears dissipated. Although the tears still appeared on her face, her eyes became extremely resolute.
"If you want to show off your pleasure, you will get what you want! But there is nothing else to ask for, just to die after you show off your desires, and not to hurt the innocent!"
Well!
In an instant, Zhu Guoqiang opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman with increasingly determined eyes in front of him.
What did she say?
Let her die?
Wait, what is her name?
So?
"Sister, you must not. The prince is kind. I didn't offend you on purpose. Please don't know the prince is kind to her!"
Amid the girl's prayer, Zhu Guoqiang stared at the cold and elegant woman in front of him and asked.
"Your name is Liu Rushi?"
How could she be here?
A famous prostitute from Songjiang?
Isn’t Songjiang in Shanghai?
Should Liu Rushi be in Nanjing or Qinhuai River?
In fact, Zhu Guoqiang was deeply influenced by the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai". Liu Rushi had never stayed on the Qinhuai River pleasure boat. She had always been in Songjiang, ranked among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" and ranked first, but it was just a far-fetched understanding from later generations.
"The prince, my sister's real name is Yang Ai, and after she was left in the brothel, she changed her name to Liu Rushi..."
Staring at Liu Rushi, who was determined to die, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly felt a miscellaneous sensation in his heart.
This is really... the first time I "forced robbery" was the first one in Bayan.
"Let you go..."
Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang looked at Liu Rushi and said.
“It’s impossible.”
"you……"
When Liu Rushi's expression changed slightly, Zhu Guoqiang said again.
"At least it is impossible now. It is better to say that it is intentional rather than a temporary intention."
To be continued...
