You Ci had been working hard for many days, all the way from Suizhou to Kaifeng. Shortly after waking up in the morning, he felt a headache again. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably because he suddenly came to Henan and was not accustomed to the climate for a while. His physical condition could not be said to be that bad.
good.
Unknowingly, Kaifeng has been filled with the fragrance of the cold wind. "Night Rain on the Golden Pond", "Bright Moon on the Zhouqiao Bridge", "Smoke of Willows on the Sui Dynasty" - these are the relics of the ancient people's appreciation of autumn. I don't understand any of them.
She walked out of the room, and there were still several sword-wielding maids sent by Luo Yanqing standing in the courtyard to guard her. A thin layer of frost fell on the shoulders of the maids. You Ci couldn't bear it, so he ordered the old man from Laoying whom he brought from Huguang to serve as a guard.
They made breakfast.
Some of these old and weak women and children in the old camp were managed by Youci under the entrustment of Mrs. Gao, and the other part were asked by Master He Baijiuhe to help share the burden after she arrived in Huguang. Now she was suddenly summoned to Kaifeng by Li Laiheng.
Youci had no choice but to hand over the affairs of the old camp that he was responsible for to Baijiuhe again, and drove to Henan in a carriage with only about ten people.
There are also Suizhou cotton, tea, cigarettes, bambooware and other in-demand products produced locally in Huguang.
When she first arrived in Kaifeng, she gave some gifts to many maids and guards sent by Luo Yanqing.
But after Li Laiheng learned about this matter, His Highness the Prince of Jin's face immediately became gloomy. Not only did he ask Fang Yiren to confiscate all these things, he also ordered Fang Yiren to call the judge Pei Shouyu, who had followed Li Laiheng northward, and ordered him to
Without notifying Deng Yanzhong, who was the judge of Dehuang Jiedu at this time, he started to investigate the specific business and entertainment situations of Geng Yingqu and other Huguang gentry and merchants.
At this time, it was already dawn, and a noisy noise in the distance broke the tranquility of Kaifeng City. Youci listened carefully, and seemed to hear the soldiers' shouts of killing from the noise, and she had a puzzled expression on her face.
, but the sword-wielding maids guarding the courtyard shook their heads together, and then stepped forward to invite You Ci into the house.
But the noise outside was getting louder and louder. Then, it was not just the soldiers shouting to kill, You Ci could even hear the sound of swords, guns, swords and halberds being unsheathed.
Her face changed slightly, and the raccoon slave who was yawning in front of the courtyard also jumped up and jumped onto the wall. His hair sprouted all over his body, and he stared fiercely outside the mansion.
"It's...what, who is he?"
After such a long period of time, You Ci was able to speak complete sentences, but she still stumbled and looked very unfluent. She asked the maids who were the rebels surrounding the mansion?
This was really something that she couldn't believe. Although Youci had been in the rear camp, he was not blind to what was going on outside the window. Like everyone else in the Dashun Army, she was also concerned about the Shun Army's behavior after the Huolu War.
Pay close attention to the trends.
You Ci knew very well that Kaifeng was still at the rear of the Dashun Army, and that recently the Supervisor Li Guo, the King of Jin Li Laiheng, and Pingyang Gongtian Jianxiu had returned to Kaifeng with many troops, preparing to hold a large-scale military meeting.
With so many troops and generals gathered here, You Ci didn't believe that an enemy would suddenly appear here.
The raccoon slave squatted on the wall and screamed fiercely several times. The maids looked helpless at You Ci's unwillingness to return to the room. One of them whispered:
"Another guy comes to ask for someone from the princess..."
When the maid mentioned the word "princess", although Youci didn't think about it deliberately, she still had an unpleasant feeling in her heart. But she quickly put aside this and said doubtfully:
"Going to the princess to ask for someone? The princess doesn't deal with prison matters. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask your highness for this kind of thing? Why should you ask the princess to ask for someone?"
She refused to listen to the dissuasion of the maids and insisted on leaving the hospital to see what was going on. The escorting maids could neither stop You Ci from coming out nor use force on her. Everyone was helpless and had to watch You Ci open the door of the mansion.
, saw the horrifying scene outside the hospital:
There were hundreds of Dashun soldiers, almost all of whom had their upper bodies bare, revealing ferocious scars and battle scars. The soldiers standing in the front row, holding swords in one hand and shields in the other, shouted loudly, "Hand over!"
"Rebel in Cao's camp", while banging the sword on the shield hard, making a harsh metal collision sound.
Hundreds of soldiers from the Shun army rushed forward again. There were only a few dozen soldiers sent by Li Laiheng to guard them. Although all the guards formed a human wall and tried their best to resist the impact of the rebels, this protective line was obviously so fragile.
It can arouse those rebels to be even more angry.
When a maid with a sword saw that the situation was out of control, she quickly drew her sword, rushed in front of everyone and shouted:
"This is Miss Youci's residence, not the residence of the princess. Where do you want people to come? What a nonsense! This is a serious crime of decapitation!"
But the rebel soldiers couldn't listen to her words at all, and continued to charge forward. Youci was shocked by the scene in front of her, and her face turned pale. She tried hard to swallow her saliva and calm down, so as not to show panic or embarrassment.
You Ci clenched the cross on his chest. Ever since Li Laiheng ordered the weapons inspector Zhang Guang to hire many Jesuit missionaries in Wuchang Prefecture to help the Dashun Army manufacture ordnance, there have been more and more Christians in Huguang. You Ci
Ci has been staying in Huguang, and she has suffered from displacement all her life, and all her relatives have died. Because Li Laiheng was in a trance during the army and had a wife, it was impossible to accompany and protect her for a long time, so she lived with many women and children in Laoying.
Likewise, he slowly accepted the faith spread by the Jesuits.
Another soldier whose upper body showed strong muscles and numerous battle wounds, holding a big knife, attacked the defense line in front of the house. He shouted loudly:
"We were in Yansui, in Taiyuan, in Harvest Deer, and fought bravely to kill the enemy. We could not protect the Li family's empire, and we could only save the wealth of our country. When Cao Ying rebelled in Guanzhong, how many of our fellow villagers and elders have died? Brothers and sisters.
Rob, how many more people died?
What is Luo Yanqing's intention in protecting these traitors in Cao's camp? Dog thieves! Hand over all the traitors! Pay with blood and kill all Cao's soldiers, so that the hatred in our hearts can be relieved!"
Along with the soldier's wild shouts, hundreds of other people behind him also shouted. "Blood debt must be paid with blood, kill all Cao's soldiers." The sound was earth-shattering, beating on the gate in front of the mansion like a violent wind and waves.
You Ci was shocked by this terrifying murderous aura. She was not someone who had not experienced bloody battlefields. Of course, she knew that the murderous aura of the group of soldiers in front of her was the real killing aura - they were not just talking about it, but they really wanted to
Kill all the old people from Cao Ying.
She couldn't help but clenched the cross tightly, and then finally understood the meaning of the sword-wielding maids who refused to let her out. After seeing You Ci's appearance, these fanatics became even more agitated, and many of them even forcibly pointed her out.
Princess Jin cursed:
"That is Princess Jin! She is also a soldier of Cao Cao. She relied on the power of King Jin to absolve many traitors!"
An old pawn who looked to be in his forties or fifties held an arrow in his hand and threw it hard. He actually threw the arrow in front of You Ci's feet, almost injuring her body.
When the old soldier saw this, he cursed again: "The King of Jin is blind and has been deceived by Cao Cao!"
Others loudly said: "What King of Jin? He is just a young boy. When I followed King Chuang in Sichuan and besieged Chengdu, where was this boy Li Laiheng? Who is he? He didn't allow us to take revenge!"
