Four and a half days round trip!

was able to travel thousands of miles a day like this, thanks to the outboard motor, and after returning to Yangzhou again, Zhu Guoqiang quietly came to a mansion near the barracks. It was a separate business outside the city of the local gentry, right next to the barracks, and it was certainly more comfortable to live in a house than in a tent during this cold winter.

Back in the house, Zhu Guoqiang immediately ordered someone to call Liu Hanyi, Ge Cunye and the generals of each battalion, and told them as soon as they met.

"Everyone sit down and prepare, the troops have been to Taixing County at night in the past two days, and to the Shizhuang area from there to get on the boat and go to sea."

With just this sentence, everyone knew that the prince's trip must be extremely smooth, and at the same time, they all said that the troops could leave at any time. Chen Wudi mentioned another thing.

"Lord Shizi, the troops can set off at any time, but the key is how to keep it secret, tens of thousands of troops march hundreds of miles, and if you want not to alarm the place, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

"Yes, Lord Shizi, not only is the secrecy of the march a problem, but also how to march in the ice and snow is also a problem,"

"Yes, Lord Shizi, especially when the army arrives in the hands of Liaodong, marching hundreds of miles in the ice and snow, the soldiers will inevitably suffer from frostbite, which cannot be ignored"

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

"None of this is a problem!"

None of this is a problem, there are ways to march in the snow and ice, as for keeping warm...... Turning back and ordering some leather boots, hats and other clothing on the other side, it should be able to basically ensure that the army will not get frostbitten and freeze to death, these problems, he has thought about a lot these days, of course, there are many solutions.

Looking at everyone, Zhu Guoqiang said directly with understanding.

"Winter clothes, I will come to find a way, this time, I will lead 20,000 troops to the battle, and the rest of the camp has ...... There are more than 15,000 people, and these people want to make more than 30,000 people move, and this matter is not very difficult to do, as long as they go to Yangzhou every day to ask for money and food, if anyone dares to trespass into the barracks or peep around the barracks......"

Zhu Guoqiang's gaze narrowed slightly, and he said sharply.

"No mercy!"

Finally, he even emphasized.

"After killing, hang your head on the wall of the camp, otherwise you can't stop others from prying eyes. By the way, what does anyone from the outside world want to inquire about these days? ”

Hearing this, Liu Hanyi smiled.

"Lord Shizi, in the past few days, it has been spread all over Yangzhou and outside, saying that you robbed Zheng Yuanxun from Songjiang to serve the famous prostitute in the Qinglou invited from Songjiang when you went to the banquet in the movie garden, and the famous prostitute Liu did not obey, and you even did not hesitate to threaten the lives of the people in the city, and you have been indulging in the gentle countryside all day long in the past few days, and you have never left the house for half a step!"

Robbery of women......

This drama was added by Zhu Guoqiang temporarily, in fact, when he originally went to Zheng Yuanxun's banquet, all he thought about was to bring back a few "Yangzhou thin horses", and the things on the painting boat were just temporary ideas.

"Oh, I guess the local taxis in Yangzhou don't know how to arrange me!"

"The prince of the world is powerful, try to ask who dares to arrange it!"

When Ge Cunye's words fell, Zhu Guoqiang laughed and said.

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

Xiucai met Bing, it is unreasonable, these individuals...... It's a cheap bone!

After laughing, after everyone deployed one by one on the march and other matters, after everyone left, Zhu Guoqiang, who felt a little tired, got up and walked to the back house, and when the prince entered the back house, Wang Xi said softly.

"Shi Ziye, Miss Liu and Miss Li, they are in the Ruxiang Building next to the study, can Shi Ziye go over tonight?"

As soon as Wang Xi reminded him, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of the woman with a cold and arrogant temperament, so he nodded and said.

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

Some people always want to meet, although the robbery of the people's girl is just a show, but now they always have to meet the robbed woman.

Ruxiang Building was by the small lake in the park, and when Zhu Guoqiang walked there, a woman stood in the corridor of Ruxiang Building and stared at the frozen lake. And another woman in a fox fur coat next to her couldn't help but whisper.

"Sister, you can't stay here all day, it's too cold, what if you catch a cold and suffer from the wind chill?"

After that, she instructed the maid on the side.

"Xiyun, why don't you hurry up and bring the clothes over and put them on for your young lady."

"Yes, the servant will go and get it."

"Sister, don't be a tribal Xiyun, I'll just go into the house."

After entering the room, she walked to the table, just took a sip of tea, but her eyes fell on the long sword on the table, holding the teacup with a little melancholy between her eyebrows, at this moment, the door of the room pushed open, and then a surprised coquettish voice reached her ears.

"Ah, the little woman has seen the prince!"

It's him!

Almost instinctively, the woman who was standing at the table and was alone with her wounds pulled out her long sword......

Stepping forward into the room, the first thing that caught his eye was a charming face, and before Zhu Guoqiang could react, various expressions flashed on that extremely beautiful face.

Frightened, surprised, surprised?

"Yikes!"

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

"The little woman has seen the prince!"

It was the fair-skinned woman who sang the opera that day, no, the fair-skinned woman who sang loudly, but she was pretty, but she had no character.

But as a modern straight man of steel, Zhu Guoqiang is direct, he - look at the face.

"No ......"

Before he could personally step forward to help the girl up, the sound of the long sword coming out of the sheath came into his ears, and following the sound, Zhu Guoqiang saw the woman performing the sword dance, standing in the room with a long sword in her hand, staring at herself with angry eyes.

There is character!

"Sister!"

"Miss......"

In the exclamation 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 don't dare!"

"You want to kill yourself?"

"I ......"

"But you don't dare!"

In the seemingly simple self-questioning and self-answering, the sword in her hand trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with a chaotic look, and finally covered with a layer of tears.

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

"You, Your Royal Highness, why do you bully me as a woman, does this show that you are a hero?"

The tears cleared as she questioned in a deep voice, and although the tears were still stained on her face, her gaze became extremely resolute.

"If you want to be happy, let you do it! It's just that if you have nothing else to ask for, you just want to wait for you to get rid of your beastly desires, and you will die like this, and you will not hurt the innocent! ”

Belch!

In an instant, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes widened, staring at the woman in front of him who was becoming more and more resolute.

What did she say?

Allow her to die?

Wait, what's her name?

So?

"Sister, don't be, the prince is gracious, my sister didn't mean to offend you, please be gracious, don't be like her!"

In the girl's pleading, Zhu Guoqiang stared at the woman in front of him who was cold and elegant.

"Your name is Liu Ruyi?"

How did she end up here?

A famous prostitute from Matsue?

Isn't Songjiang the area of Shanghai?

Shouldn't Liu Ru be in Nanjing, in the Qinhuai River?

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang was too deeply influenced by "Qinhuai Bayan", Liu Ru has never stayed on the painting boat of Qinhuai River, she has been in Songjiang, ranked among the "Qinhuai Bayan", and is also at the top of the list, but it is just far-fetched by later generations.

"Shiziye, my sister's real name is Yang Ai, and she changed her name to Liu Ru after living in the Qinglou......"

Staring at Liu Ruyi, who was determined to die, Zhu Guoqiang's heart suddenly had a mixed mood.

That's a ...... The first time I "robbed", I grabbed the top card of Bayan.

"Let you ......"

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

"It's impossible."

"You ......"

When Liu Ru's face changed slightly, Zhu Guoqiang said again.

"At least it's not possible now, robbing the two of you that day was not so much a temporary intention, but rather a deliberate one."

What does he mean?

Smart as Liu Ru vaguely heard from his words that he seemed to have other intentions. seems to have figured out why he and Shi Niang didn't see him for a few days after they were robbed here.

"I want to make a big deal happen recently, and if I want to do this, I have to let the world think that I am disheartened and obsessed with women!"

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

"You get up first," looking at the frightened pale woman with a small face, compared to Liu Ruyi's character, Zhu Guoqiang prefers such a delicate woman, and chuckled when he reached out to wipe the tears from her face.

"Look at you, I won't eat people."

"Your Highness......"

At this time, Liu Ru behind him suddenly exclaimed.

"You, do you want to show weakness and induce Jiannu to attack Yangzhou?"

A gleam flashed in Liu Ruye's eyes.

"Show weakness? Why do I need to show weakness, as long as I garrison in Yangzhou, whether it is Abatai or Dolgon, I will not capture Yangzhou, for them, the original purpose of entering the Kou is to kill the people as much as possible, in order to rob the characters! They will try to avoid decisive battles so as not to suffer casualties! ”

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

In the history books, Liu Ru is called a "chivalrous woman", originally thought that it was just a "chivalrous heart", but who would have thought that she would really use a sword, even if it was just a sword dance.

Bending down to pick up the long sword on the ground, Zhu Guoqiang walked to the table, put the sword into the sheath again, and then groaned.

"The battle is now rumored in the sea, and the tomb of Tian Heng is sorrowful......"

This is a poem written by Liu Ru at the Yuewu Mu Temple when she was shocked to hear that tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were attacking the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Jinan along the canal south when she was worried about the situation in the world when she was in Hangzhou at the beginning of the year.

The poem was in his ears, and Liu Ru looked at him in surprise.

"You, you ......"

How did he know about the poem? This poem, obviously written by her in the Yue Wumu Temple by the West Lake in Hangzhou, how could it be transmitted to Jinan and to him?
