Zhuxi Mountain is like a great enemy.

According to the secret whistle report: Linqiong Mansion has assembled a large number of officers and soldiers, gathered sophisticated equipment, carried large and small warships, dispatched Yuzhou Mansion tide masters, elite sailors, and is lining up at the Zhuxi Ferry. During this period, the person who led the first song did not say high-sounding words such as "to eliminate harm for the people, and everyone in the mountain bandits will be punished" like the previous times when the officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed Zhuxi Mountain, but directly said aloud: "The speed will release his wife, but the whole body can be left." ”

After that, several major leaders in Zhuxi Mountain held an emergency meeting to discuss the plan. Before the plan was properly discussed, I heard the mountain number. This mountain number indicates that someone has broken into the main mountain of Zhuxi Mountain. A cadre of people couldn't care a lot, and jumped out of the Juyi Hall.

The comer is not good! This is the unanimous agreement of everyone in Zhuxi Mountain. This time was different from many previous times when officers and soldiers suppressed bandits. In the past, Zhuxishan also faced many bandits, and had long-term dealings with the government and garrison of Linqiong Prefecture. The officers and soldiers of Linqiong Mansion are just pretending, like the imperial court. Moreover, the mountain bandits in Zhuxi Mountain have never opposed the imperial court, but only robbed the rich and unkind, and cleaned up those who oppressed the good people. Even the court of the Shu Kingdom of the Meng clan in the past also turned a blind eye to Zhuxi Mountain.

But this time it seems that it is not only the officers and soldiers of Linqiong Mansion who came, but also the elites from outside. Just looking at the equipment on the water and the size of the boats, as well as the people who drive the boats, they are all elite experts.

"Did you catch it?" Standing under the big locust tree in the courtyard, the big boss asked the people who came to report.

"The other party is very skilled and familiar with this mountain, we only injured two of them, but they escaped." The man in the short shirt reports the situation to the big boss.

Chen Qiuniang sat by the half-open window and looked at the fried pumpkin seeds brought by the fat aunt leisurely.

"Notify everywhere to round up, so that they can get in and can't get out. If they resist arrest, they will be killed. The big boss waved his hand and said lightly.

Although Chen Qiuniang's action of knocking pumpkin seeds was still skillful and her expression was calm, when she heard the big boss say this, she couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, and she was worried about Lu Chen. While worrying about Lu Chen, I couldn't help but complain in my heart that Zhang Ci was so ruthless and made Lu Chen also in trouble, does your miserable victory also include sacrificing Lu Chen?

"Miss Chen thinks I'm doing this, what?" The big boss waited for the person who reported to leave, then strode over to this side, stood under a bush of banana trees outside the window, and asked Chen Qiuniang in a loud voice.

"What?" Chen Qiuniang wisely stood up slowly.

The big boss smiled, didn't continue the topic, looked at her, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Although he had a smile on his face, his expression was all cold, which was obviously different from the tone and expression he had spoken in the last time he asked this sentence.

"I thought I had made it clear enough." Chen Qiuniang put down the pumpkin seeds in her hand, Shi Shiran straightened her dress, and her expression was still calm. But she knew very well in her heart that her life and death were not in Zhang Ci's hands, and the man in front of her could directly kill her in every minute.

"You didn't say that you have a husband. And it's such a powerful house. The big boss's eyebrows were full of coldness.

Chen Qiuniang looked at him calmly and said, "If it were my husband, how could I still be in your hands, and I would besiege you with heavy troops and force you to a dead end." Isn't that the death of a freed man? ”

"Oh?" The parents of Dadang raised their eyebrows, and there was a touch of frost under their eyes, but it was a sudden appearance of murderous intent.

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyelashes, chuckled, and said, "If you really love my husband, how can you come to encircle and suppress Zhuxi Mountain in such a high-profile manner?" If you change to a big boss, I am afraid that you will negotiate with Zhuxi Mountain in advance, and if the negotiation is not appropriate, you may secretly send a good hand to rescue, and if you can't save it, you will take this road of strategy, and raise troops to attack on the surface, but in fact, you will force Zhuxi Mountain to teach people. Chen Qiuniang talked eloquently. But her heart is getting colder and colder. Zhang Ci's layout this time is probably also thinking of sacrificing her.

However, Zhang Ci was really in a hurry. His approach is full of loopholes, so how can Zhao Kuangyin be an idle person, and he can't see through his layout. In the end, it may be a bamboo basket for nothing, and it is still too young in the end.

"There are not too many people and things that can be as smart as you. Perhaps, he was just too confident. The big boss said.

Chen Qiuniang smiled and said, "Even if he is not smart, he can lead troops to fight." Besides, even the least intelligent person will think about it. If the big boss has ever truly loved someone, he knows it. ”

A smile appeared on the big boss's face and asked, "Do you think that if this is the case, I will let you go?" ”

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said calmly: "If it was before, I thought you would let me go." I don't have the luxury of being in such a situation. ”

"So, you sue me, who the hell are you. Maybe I'll think about it. The big boss came back to the topic.

Chen Qiuniang sighed and said, "I'm really sorry, if the big boss asks who is coming." I can sue you and ask me who I really am. I've been telling you the truth. If the big boss doesn't remember clearly, I can say it again: I gave birth to my father and mother, and I can bring children for my adoptive parents, and my grandmother will take me back. His ancestral home was Chenjiazhuang, Qingcheng County, and he moved to Wuli Town, Meizhou on the eve of the rebellion.

The big boss raised his hand and said, "Don't say these useless things. Don't think you can really control people's hearts. ”

"I'm a village girl, like duckweed, life is like mustard, how can I control people's hearts, it's just that the big boss doesn't trust people too much." Chen Qiuniang said calmly. She understands very well that this moment is walking a tightrope. The seemingly harmless appearance of the man in front of him is actually extremely dangerous.

"Who is leading the troops this time? Who was the intruder? The big boss paused for a long time before asking.

Chen Qiuniang didn't want to hide anything, so she said: "If the guess is correct, it is the Zhang family in Liuhe Town, Meizhou." The leader of the troops is Zhang Ci, the second son of Zhangfu. As for the intruder, it should probably be Lu Chen, the cousin of the Zhang Mansion. Well, the Lu family in Yuzhou Prefecture. ”

The big boss frowned, nodded slightly, and said, "It turned out to be them, no wonder they are well-equipped." ”

"The big boss has also heard of it?" Chen Qiuniang asked tentatively.

The big boss glanced at Chen Qiuniang and said: "There are many families in Shuzhong, but there are not many who are as profound as the Zhang family and the Lu family. It's just that most of the soldiers in Zhangfu are not long in Shuzhong, and if they are lucky enough not to die on the battlefield, then they will not come back until they return to their hometowns. It's really strange that the second son of Zhang Mansion actually returned to Shuzhong. ”

When the big boss said this, he kept looking at Chen Qiuniang, and his expression and tone were all inquiring. Chen Qiuniang said with a smile: "I don't know, I just met him." ”

"You think I'll believe it?" The big boss gave Chen Qiuniang a blank look. Immediately saw the three masters of the Qing Dynasty hurriedly coming, so he rolled up his sleeves and ordered a man in a short shirt named Chengwu to bring a team of people over to protect Chen Qiuniang.

Chen Qiuniang didn't want to defend anything, just sat by the window and continued to eat melon seeds, looking leisurely. But in my heart, I was thinking about how to save my life here. After all, Zhang Ci also treats her as a pawn, or if necessary, he can sacrifice her, and then Zhang Ci can be as deep as the sea, and he will never recover.

Chen Qiuniang knew that her situation at the moment was very dangerous. She also sighed and blamed herself in her heart for wanting to rely on the salvation of others in this troubled world where people eat people and people, and expected others to be kind.

It's a chaotic world that can drive anyone crazy. Is human nature deduced by normal logic?

I can only blame myself. However, if you hang up, I don't know if you can go back to that time and space and continue to be Jiang Yun. At least in that time and space, the world was quite peaceful, and people were normal.

She thought to herself, but she didn't expect that after talking to the big boss in the Qing Dynasty, she came straight to her. He is no longer dressed as a Confucian student, he is dressed in a strong suit, and at this glance, he is a heroic young man.

"Do you want to live?" Qing Shi's tone is gloomy.

"Naturally, I want to." Chen Qiuniang gave him a blank look.

"Then let him go out of the army." Qing Shi said loudly.

Chen Qiuniang was stunned, as if she understood something, but she seemed to be a little confused, she just looked at Qing Shi in a daze and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Isn't he your husband? Let him retire. Qing Shi said it again.

"I'm a country girl, where do I get the ability?" Chen Qiuniang replied, but she understood a little in her heart.

Qing Shi sneered and said, "What is your identity, I am not as persistent as the big boss." I don't want to know what you have to do with that Zhang Ci. Since he said that you are his wife, the siege of Zhuxi Mountain is to rush to the crown and be angry. Then, you go and let him withdraw first, and then sit down and talk about the rest. ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned at this moment, and suddenly felt that she had thought wrongly.

She has always speculated that Zhang Ci is not her husband, and she has always thought that it is good for her wife to be caught by thieves from a very ordinary person's point of view. She never thought that in the eyes of others, if Zhang Ci said that she was his wife, then she was. Moreover, he was born in the military, so he naturally pays attention to the strength to negotiate. As for Lu Chen, maybe he was sent by Zhang Ci to test the hidden piles in Zhuxi Mountain. Lu Chen can come from afar to help Mrs. Zhang take care of the Zhang family, and he is by no means idle.

Then, Zhang Ci is actually not 100% sure that he will send someone to rescue her from Zhuxi Mountain. Even if he was sure to rescue her, he was not sure to rescue Chen Wenzheng's mother. So there is only one way to negotiate, but there is no strength, why do the bandits in Zhuxi Mountain negotiate with you?

And Zhang Ci originally grew up in Bingzhou, probably because he was in the way of someone's eyes in Bianjing, Zhang Yongde had to ask the emperor to allow Zhang Ci to return to Shu to serve Mrs. Zhang.

Then, even if Zhang Ci is a descendant, he wants to mobilize the armed forces of the old mansion in Shuzhong, and also alarms Linqiong Mansion, Yuzhou Mansion, and also mobilizes the armed forces of his uncle Yuzhou Lu family, which is actually very difficult. The big family must have the big family considerations.

So, what kind of reason could make the big family agree to him mobilizing such a powerful force? The reason is obvious, it is the reason that Lu Chen said before.

At this moment, Chen Qiuniang somewhat understood Zhang Ci's actions, and suddenly felt very ashamed of her previous speculation. RS
