Four and a half days round trip!

Being able to travel thousands of miles a day was all thanks to the outboard motor. After returning to Yangzhou again, Zhu Guoqiang quietly came to a mansion near the military camp. It was a villa owned by the local gentry outside the city, just next to the military camp. In this cold winter

In the twelfth lunar month, it is definitely more comfortable to live in a house than in a tent.

Returning to the house, Zhu Guoqiang immediately ordered people to call Liu Hanyi, Ge Cunye and the generals of each battalion, and said to them as soon as they met.

"Everyone, sit down and get ready. The troops have been to Taixing County under cover of night in the past two days, and have gone to the Shizhuang area and boarded the ship from there to go to sea."

With just these words, everyone knew that the prince's trip must be extremely smooth. While they all said that the troops were ready to leave at any time, Chen Wudi mentioned another thing.

"Your Majesty, the troops can set off at any time, but the key is how to keep it secret. With tens of thousands of troops marching for hundreds of miles, it may not be that easy without disturbing the place."

"Yes, Your Majesty, not only is the confidentiality of the march a problem, but also how to march in the ice and snow is also a problem,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, especially when the army arrives in Liaodong and marches for hundreds of miles in the ice and snow, the soldiers will inevitably get frostbite. This must be considered."

Facing the questions raised by everyone, Zhu Guoqiang shook his head and said.

"These are just minor obstacles!"

These are definitely not problems. There are many ways to march in the ice and snow. As for keeping warm... go back and order some leather boots, hats and other clothing on the other side, which should basically ensure that the army will not suffer from frostbite or freeze to death. These problems, he has been dealing with these days.

I have thought a lot about it, and of course there are many solutions.

Looking at the crowd, Zhu Guoqiang said with direct understanding.

"Winter Jacket, I will come up with a solution. I will lead 20,000 troops in this battle. The remaining people in the camp are... more than 15,000 people. These people are going to cause more than 30,000 people to move. This

It’s not too difficult to get things done. You just need to 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, hang the head on the camp wall. Otherwise, it will not stop others from prying. By the way, is there anyone in the outside world who wants to inquire about anything these days?"

Hearing this, Liu Hanyi smiled.

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, word has spread throughout Yangzhou and beyond that you robbed the famous brothel prostitute Zheng Yuanxun invited from Songjiang to sleep with when he was attending a banquet in the movie garden. The famous prostitute Liu refused to obey, and you even did not hesitate to use the city's

The people's lives are in danger, and they have been immersed in the gentle countryside all day long these days, never leaving the house!"

Robbery of women...

This drama was added temporarily by Zhu Guoqiang. In fact, when he originally went to Zheng Yuanxun's place for the banquet, all he wanted in his mind was to bring back a few "Yangzhou thin horses". What happened on the boat was just a temporary idea.

"Oh, I guess the local scholars in Yangzhou will not know how to arrange me!"

"Your Majesty is so powerful, who dares to arrange it?"

When Ge Cunye finished speaking, Zhu Guoqiang laughed loudly.

"It turns out that after all, they are still afraid of the knife in my hand!"

When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why. These people... are just cheap!

After laughing, and after everyone made arrangements for the march and other matters, Zhu Guoqiang, who felt a little tired after everyone left, got up and walked to the back house. As the prince was about to enter the back house, Wang Xi whispered

said.

"Your Majesty, Miss Liu and Miss Li are in the Yunxiang Building next to the study. Will Your Majesty want to go there tonight?"

When Wang Xi reminded him, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of that cold and arrogant woman, so he nodded and said.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Some people always have to meet. Although raping a civilian girl is just a show, now you always have to meet the girl who was robbed.

Yunxiang Tower is located next to the small lake in the park. When Zhu Guoqiang was walking there, a woman stood in the corridor of Yunxiang Tower, staring blankly at the frozen lake. And next to her was another woman wearing a fox fur cloak.

The woman in clothes couldn't help but said softly.

"Sister, you can't stay here all day. The weather is too cold. What if you catch a cold or get cold?"

After saying that, she gave instructions to the maid beside her.

"Xiyun, why don't you quickly bring me the cloak and put it on your young lady?"

"Yes, maid, go get it now."

"Sister, don't leave Xiyun alone. I'll just go into the house."

After entering the room, she walked to the table and just took a sip of tea when her eyes fell on the sword on the table. She was holding the tea cup with a little melancholy on her brows. At this moment, the door over there opened.

, and then a surprised whisper reached her ears.

"Ah, the little girl has met the prince!"

It's him!

Almost instinctively, the woman who was standing by the table and feeling sad alone suddenly drew out her long sword...

As he stepped into the room, the first thing that caught his eye was a charming face. Before Zhu Guoqiang could react, various expressions were flashing on that extremely beautiful face.

Frightened, surprised, pleasantly surprised?

"ah!"

First there was a scream, and then a string of Wu Nong's soft words reached his ears.

"The little girl has met the prince!"

The one who bent her knees to pray was the charming woman who performed the opera that day, no, sang loudly. She was as fair as snow, but she was beautiful, but she had no personality.

But as a modern steel straight man, Zhu Guoqiang is direct, and he looks at his face.

"No gift..."

Before he could step forward to help the girl up, the sound of a long sword being unsheathed reached his ears. Following the sound, Zhu Guoqiang saw the woman performing the sword dance standing in the room holding a long sword and glaring angrily.

Staring at himself wide-eyed.

Have character!

"elder sister!"

"Miss……"

Amid the screams of the woman in the room, Zhu Guoqiang walked straight to the table, sat down, and then stared at her and said.

"You want to kill me?"

"you……"

"But you don't dare!"

"You want to commit suicide?"

"I……"

"But you don't dare!"

During the seemingly simple self-question and answer, the sword in her hand trembled slightly, and a chaotic look flashed in her eyes, but in the end they were covered with tears.

With a "clang" sound, the moment the sword fell to the ground, tears flowed from her eyes and slid down her beautiful cheeks.

"You, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, why do you bully a woman like me? Does this make you look like a hero?"

When she asked in a deep voice, her tears dispersed. Although there were still tears on her face, her eyes became extremely determined.

"If you just want to have fun, I will let you do so! However, I have no other wish. I just want you to die like this when you show off your lust, and no innocent people will be harmed!"

Well!

In an instant, Zhu Guoqiang opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman in front of him with an increasingly determined gaze.

what did she say?

Allow her to die?

Wait, what's her name?

If so?

"Sister, you must not do it. Your Majesty, please have mercy. My sister did not mean to offend you. I beg you, Your Majesty, to have mercy. Don't be the same as her!"

Amidst the girl's pleading, Zhu Guoqiang stared at the woman in front of him who had a cool, elegant and elegant temperament and asked.

"Your name is Liu Rushi?"

Why is she here?

A famous prostitute from Songjiang?

Isn't Songjiang that part of Shanghai?

Should Liu Ru be in Nanjing and on the Qinhuai River?

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang was deeply influenced by the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai". Liu Rushi had never stayed on the boat on the Qinhuai River. She had been in Songjiang and was ranked among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", and she still topped the list. However, this was only far-fetched by future generations.

Just a follow-up.

"Your Majesty, my sister's real name is Yang Ai. She changed her name to Liu Rushi after living in a brothel..."

Staring at Liu Rushi, who had a firm gaze and wanted to die, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.

This is really...the first time I "robbed" something by force, and what I grabbed was actually the top card of the Eight Colors.

"Let you go..."

Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang looked at Liu Rushi and said.

"Absolutely impossible."

"you……"

When Liu Rushi's expression changed slightly, Zhu Guoqiang said again.

"At least it's not possible now. The robbery of you two that day was more deliberate than a spur-of-the-moment move."

What does he mean?

Smart Liu Rushi vaguely heard from his words that he seemed to have other intentions. He also seemed to have figured out why he and Shiniang had not seen him for several days after they were robbed here.

"I've been planning a big thing recently, and in order to accomplish it, I have to let the world think that I'm depressed and addicted to women!"

Seeing that Miss Li was still kneeling on the ground, Zhu Guoqiang walked over and helped her up.

"You should get up first," Zhu Guoqiang looked at the woman whose face turned pale with fright. Compared to Liu Rushi's character, Zhu Guoqiang liked such a delicate woman more. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said with a chuckle.

"Look, I scare you. I don't know how to eat people."

"Your Highness..."

At this time, Liu Rushi behind him suddenly shouted in shock.

"You, you want to show weakness to the slaves and lure them to attack Yangzhou?"

A glint flashed in Liu Rushi's eyes.

"Showing weakness? Why do I need to show weakness? As long as I station troops in Yangzhou, neither Abatai nor Dorgon will attack Yangzhou. For them, the purpose of entering the invaders is to kill as many people as possible and to rob them.

Capture people! They will try to avoid decisive battles to avoid casualties!"

Looking back at Liu Rushi, looking at this strange woman who was famous for her patriotism in history, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes fell on the sword again.

Liu Rushi is called a "chivalrous woman" in the history books. I originally thought she was just "chivalrous in heart", but who would have thought that she could really use a sword, even if it was just sword dancing.

Bending down to pick up the long sword on the ground, Zhu Guoqiang walked to the table, sheathed the sword again, and then said to himself.

"There are now rumors of fighting in the country, and Tian Heng's tomb is getting more and more sad..."

This is the poem Liu Rushi wrote at the Yuewu Mu Temple when she was in Hangzhou at the beginning of the year and was shocked to hear that tens of thousands of Qing soldiers were marching south along the canal to attack Jinan and other hinterlands of the Central Plains. She was worried about the situation in the world.

After hearing the poem, Liu Rushi looked at him in surprise.

"you you……"
