"Where?" Ming Shuisleeve asked.

Gu Tingcheng answered: "Speaking of the city breaking, the next paragraph should be your escape from the capital." ”

It seems that Gu Tingcheng is already very familiar with all the historical details of Ming Shui Sleeve, and he can remind him at any time, probably more easily than Ming Shui Sleeve himself.

"Yes, I left the capital, with a former Jinwu general named Zhang Dushou. He was one of his father's most trusted people, strong in martial arts, loyal, and one of the few loyal ministers in the court. He disguised himself, hired a carriage, and went out of the city to the west, all the way to the west. At that time, we had no destination, only that the farther away we were from the capital, the safer it was. However, I never expected that although he was an important minister in the court, he secretly communicated with the traitor Zhang Xianzhong and took me away from King Li Chuang's territory, in order to dedicate me to the big devil Zhang Xianzhong. When I realized it, it was too late to escape. At the foot of Taihang Mountain, we met with the 800 fast swordsmen sent by Zhang Xianzhong to greet them, and the young general who led the team was named Dian Qingtong, who was not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in medical skills. He bandaged my wounds and used my medicine carefully, so that I gradually recovered. I don't want to be handed over to Zhang Xianzhong by Zhang Dushou, I'd rather die than serve the thief with the innocent body given by my parents. When I was about to arrive at Zhang Xianzhong's camp, I found an opportunity to steal Dian Qingtong's knife and tried to kill myself by cutting my throat. At the critical moment, Dian Qingtong saved me and my heart. He killed Zhang Dushou, dispersed the fast knife troops, and took me to continue westward, stepping on the Gobi Desert, fighting all the way, and finally arrived at the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. That night, it was the fifteenth day of September, and a hundred paces away, the eyebrows on the man's face were clearly countable. Dian Qingtong and I were trapped on the Mogao Grottoes, and the rebel horses from far and near galloped across the country, rolling up puffs of smoke and dust. Dian Qingtong was seriously injured, and the three good brothers who had followed him since he started the army also hung up their own colors. Everyone understands that what awaits us will be the Ling Chi methods of the Great Demon King Zhang Xianzhong. During the last breakout, the three brothers lay dead outside Cave 112, their bodies poked into a blood sieve by the rebels' javelins. Dian Qingtong fell into my arms, and we slumped under the rebound pipa diagram......"

It's a lengthy passage, but it contains so many historical events that I pricked up my ears to listen carefully, lest I miss any details.

Regarding Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, there are detailed records in the history books.

Zhang Xianzhong's nickname is Huanghu, is a native of Dingbian County, Shaanxi, organized a peasant army uprising during the Chongzhen period, and established the Daxi regime in Chengdu in 1644, called the king of Daxi, and the year name Dashun. In 1646, when the Qing army went south, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to refuse the battle, and was hit by a stray arrow in Xichong Phoenix Mountain and died. This person left a lot of anecdotes, such as entering Sichuan to slaughter Shu, sinking treasure in the river, covering the flag and drums, etc.

Li Zicheng rebelled in the second year of Chongzhen, and in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he was called the king of Xinshun in Xiangyang, and in the first month of the following year, he established the Dashun regime, and the year name was Yongchang. Soon conquered Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. Dolgon of the Great Qing Dynasty led the Eight Banners Army and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, to attack Li Zicheng in the inner and outer periphery of Shanhaiguan. Li Zicheng was defeated, escaped from Beijing, and in the second year of Shunzhi, he was defeated and died in Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng County, Hubei.

In the rebel army, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong openly disagreed, so it is completely credible that Zhang Dushou did not surrender to Li Zicheng and defected to Zhang Xianzhong. At that time, Zhang Xianzhong had the title of "The Great Demon King of the World Returning" because of his heavy killing, which was also well known. If Ming Shuichong is really the last princess of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of honor and dignity, she should indeed have the idea of "preferring to die rather than give in".

"Dian Qingtong and Zhang Dushou are recorded in the official history and wild history, and there are also a few records in the siege of Mogao Grottoes by the iron-blooded army under Zhang Xianzhong. Now there are several traces of smoke and fire in the Mogao Grottoes, which are left by the Iron Army. Zhang Dushou is a distant relative of Zhang Xianzhong, and in terms of it, the latter should be called his uncle. In the past, when King Li Chuang entered Beijing, Zhang Dushou had already received the news and escaped from the West Gate with the waist card of the rebel army, and easily avoided the trampling of the rebel army. The only thing that is not recorded is that the princess with a broken arm left Beijing, so many historians mistakenly believe that the princess has been ...... with innocent palace maids when the chaotic army entered the palace" Gu Tingcheng added with a frown.

In the era of beacon smoke, after the city was broken, up to the princes and nobles, down to the people of Limin, they would be looted by the victorious side. death, the people suffer".

If the princess suffers another catastrophe after breaking her arm, she will definitely not be able to live.

In the official history, there are more affirmations than denials of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, but his imprisonment and favor of Chen Yuanyuan and immersion in the joy of being the emperor of the world are the main reasons that directly led to the failure of the uprising. Therefore, from a fair point of view, this person's life should be mixed with praise and disapproval.

The fugitives trapped in the Mogao Grottoes have only one way out, and even if they barely escape, wandering on the vast Gobi Desert without cars, horses, food, water, maps, reception, and backup, they will only end up on the way to escape, and they will still not have a good end.

"Something strange must have happened then?" I asked tentatively. Of course, the answer to this question is obvious, because by now, Ming Shuisleeve sat in front of me well, and he was able-bodied and had no disability. It can only be said that as soon as the miracle comes out, the world is peaceful. When a person is met by God's grace, any suffering and suffering is just a drop in the bucket.

Ming Shuisleeve didn't answer immediately, just rubbed his right arm, his eyes were empty and distant, and he was already wandering outside.

"Yes, indeed." Gu Tingcheng added.

She knows what Ming Shuisleeve wants to say, and she relays it in front of the latter, and her credibility is beyond doubt.

"It can't be—" I said four words, and Gu Qingcheng immediately nodded, confirming my guess.

"That's ...... How can such a change be convincing? I muttered to myself.

My answer is this, in extreme fear and anger, the bodies of Ming Shui Sleeve and Dian Qingtong are close to the mural, and they can't wait for a gap to grow in the mural, allowing them to hide for the time being. In the end, their sincerity touched the heavens, and the mural really cracked, encompassing the two of them and escaping the swords, guns and axes of the pursuers.

This kind of plot should only appear in legendary novels, and not in reality. While tracing the bouncing pipa, I carefully observed the mural more than a thousand times, and never saw a crack even half a centimeter wide. I can responsibly tell everyone that behind the mural is a hard and dense mountain, and there can never be a dark cave and secret room.

"It's hard to believe, but it's happening, so it's a miracle, a manifestation of God's power in the world, just as Jesus led believers through the Red Sea." Gu Tingcheng said.

"However, that is a myth in the Bible, and what we are discussing now is the ins and outs of Miss Ming's alone, how can the two be compared?" I immediately retorted.

The Bible is both the book of Christianity and a treasure book full of "miracles." Compared with the power of prayer that can even separate the Red Sea, the murals of the Mogao Grottoes crack the cracks to cover the princess with the broken arm and the electric green tree, which is indeed not a big deal. The point is, how likely are these narratives of Ming Shuisleeve?

"Mr. Long, there are many things in the world that are known but not known. We can only see the surface and know what has happened, but we can never deduce the cause of it. Even wisdom such as Einstein, Newton, and Galileo can only abandon all things, stick to only one end, and devote their whole lives to effective exploration in a small scientific port. Just imagine, how many Einstein, Newton, and Galileo are there in the world? Gu Qingcheng said lightly.

She is also a deeply intelligent person, who quickly jumps out of the chaotic narrative of Ming Shuisleeve, not being confused by the slightest wisp, but getting to the heart of the matter.

In fact, Ming Shuisleeve is sitting in front of us, she is alive, she is alive, she is alive, she is able to tell a certain experience in the past as it is—this is the truth, existence is the truth, and existence is eternity.

"You're right, you can't draw conclusions until you finish the story." I respond honestly.

Unexpectedly, the word "conclusion" triggered Gu Tingcheng's emotion: "Mr. Long, when you listen to it, you will know that even if you listen to this story a thousand times, there will be no conclusion." Just like the Chu people who crossed the river and begged for swords in the past, no matter how clear the carved mark is, they can't find the sword in the lost water. ”

The doorbell rang, and Gu Qingcheng went to open the door.

A neatly dressed waitress came in with a four-wheeled dining cart and placed a vegetarian meal of six dishes and one soup on the coffee table.

"The hotel's vegetarian meals are still very famous, all the raw materials come from pollution-free natural farm partners, no chemical pesticides are sprayed, environmentally friendly and clean, and you can eat at ease. Mogao stuffed skin, red willow pimple, longevity alkaline noodles, and Dunhuang vegetarian dumplings are all hotel food characteristics, please taste them slowly. "The waitress was very professional.

There are a lot of famous foods in Dunhuang, and the four things that the waiter said are also Meng Qiao's favorite food. Since arriving in Dunhuang, I have eaten hundreds of times, and I still enjoy it.

In addition to the delicacies in the vegetarian meal, Dunhuang is also famous for its various ways to eat donkey meat and mutton. Donkey meat yellow noodles, mutton juice, and mutton stewed cakes have long been tribute delicacies sent directly to the capital, with a history of hundreds of years.

Dunhuang is not as prosperous as Hong Kong Island, but these famous foods with a variety of patterns and long aftertastes make Meng Qiao's secluded life with relish.

Gu Tingcheng put a tip on the dining car and sent the waiter out.

"Vegetarian food can make people clear-headed, don't mind?" Gu Tingcheng asked.

I shook my head: "It's good to be vegetarian - Miss Gu has lived in this restaurant before?" ”

Gu Tingcheng also shook his head: "No, I haven't been here, but a friend of mine, who is Miss Ming's temporary guardian, personally told Miss Ming to live in this hotel, and any consumption can be signed." This friend of mine is very interesting, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes for more than 40 years, and suddenly he put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the spot, no longer eating any fish and meat products, and eating vegetarian food. All his brothers once wondered if he had cultivated cult kung fu such as the "Sunflower Treasure Book" and became another undefeated in the East, or how could he suddenly change his sex? The ancient Chinese left teachings, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. This friend of mine is indeed a person with perseverance - ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Long is not from the rivers and lakes, and I say this, isn't it very disappointing? ”

I smiled and replied simply, "No, no, that's good, you're such a nice friend." ”

According to my judgment, the friend Gu Tingcheng said was Lei Dongtian.

Lei Dongtian, whom I know, is a high-roller who "is not afraid of heaven and earth, God is the first and Lao Tzu is second, he drinks wine in a big bowl, eats meat in a big way, and divides the money in a big scale." Before '97, Patten, the governor sent by the British Government to govern Hong Kong Island, would respectfully stand down and greet Lei Dongtian when he saw him, and he mentioned more than once in his work report to London that more than half of the credit for the peace and social stability on Hong Kong Island should be attributed to Lei Dongtian.

My gaze fell on Ming Shui's face again, and I deeply suspected that Lei Dongtian would change his sex for this woman of unknown origin.

"Sunflower Treasure Book" is also from the famous book "Smiling Proud Jianghu" by a writer surnamed Cha on Hong Kong Island, I suddenly remembered that the writer's other imperial masterpiece "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" also mentioned the princess with a broken arm, but it was the princess's later years, and she had already been apprenticed all over the world.

According to common sense, the information of the gangs in the Chinese world is exchanged through various channels, if Gu Tingcheng and Ming Shui sleeves are covered by the thunderbolt of the Thunderbolt Hall, then the Tank Gang should not come to touch the tiger's buttocks, so as not to provoke fire. The only explanation is that the boss behind the Tank Gang is also very tough, and he paid a lot of money to make the Tank Gang take risks for money.
