Chen Bangyan was speechless, although he felt that these methods were disgraceful, but he had to admit that they worked.

Outside Yongzhou City, Yang Shouchun's carriage headed towards the city gate.

At the beginning, Zhu Changying and others followed Wang Fuzhi and Yilong to Guangdong, Liu Xizuo led the army to fight and retreat, and retreated to Yongzhou City after completing the covering task. Zhang Xianzhong gave up after attacking for a while, and then led an army of more than 100,000 into Sichuan. So Liu Xizuo did not die in battle as in history.

In the barracks, Liu Xizuo was pondering, and a guard came in to pass the word: "General, there is a eunuch outside the camp who claims to be a messenger, and he also said that he has an old relationship with the general. ”

"It's old with me..."Liu Xizuo muttered to himself, "It's not that Yang Shouchun." ”

Liu Xizuo walked out of the camp tent and soon saw Yang Shouchun outside the camp gate, who looked arrogant and was scolding the guards.

"Liu Ji," Liu Xizuo called a general, "you go, just say that I am not there, place him next to the Qincha from Jinling, and give them the same treatment." ”

"General, what are you going to do here?" This Liu Ji is Liu Xizuo's cousin, the two have been on the battlefield together, lived and died together, and Liu Xizuo's family has been brutally killed by Zhang Xianzhong, the two can be said to be closer than brothers, so Liu Ji dared to ask, "Which side of the courtiers are we doing?" ”

"On the surface, Jinling is sitting on the rich land of Jiangnan, with many supporters, strong soldiers and horses, and Guangzhou is in the land of the Southern Barbarians, and it should not be as good as Jiangnan, Central Plains and other places in all aspects, but I have not seen it with my own eyes, and I can't draw conclusions casually, and the Cantonese people who rescued King Guiduan last time are not ordinary." Liu Xizuo turned around and slowly walked inside, "Now in this world, there are five emperors, alas, you can't choose easily, you can't..."

Liu Ji looked at Liu Xizuo's slightly rickety figure and his left arm, which was extremely unnatural when swinging, and knew how much pressure this cousin, who was about ten years older than himself and was already close to the age of six, was carrying, and there was too much to consider.

Liu Ji walked to the camp gate and smiled at Yang Shouchun: "Haha, who should I be, it turned out to be Lord Yang, don't come to harm?" ”

Yang Shouchun scolded so much that his mouth was dry, and the soldiers guarding the door just wouldn't let him in, and now he saw that there was an official who still knew himself, so he looked up and down, and said with some uncertainty: "Are you Liu Ji?" ”

"It's the last general." Liu Ji took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Yang Shouchun, "Lord Yang, I really don't have much money left, please don't give up and smile." ”

"For the sake of you and others defending Hengzhou and covering the evacuation of the Holy Lord, our family will not care about you," Yang Shouchun can be said to have not fished any oil and water during this time, and this time he won this errand under certain dangerous conditions, just to make a lot of money, if it was before, this money was not put in his eyes at all, but at this moment, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Yang Shouchun took the silver with a smile, "General Liu, I don't know where General Liu Xizuo is, why don't you come out to meet?" ”

"Oh, the general has something to go out, how about Lord Yang go inside to rest first? The last will certainly make up for the neglect. ”

"Alright then, General Liu will notify our family as soon as he returns." Yang Shouchun responded without being salty, but he was very proud in his heart: this kid is quite sensible!

Yang Shouchun entered a camp tent, and Liu Ji soon sent someone to bring the delicacies that he had collected with great difficulty, and he scraped together another hundred and ten taels of silver.

In another camp tent next to it, Qian Sunai from Jinling walked around impatiently, panting out of breath, and angrily kicked over the table on the side, and the things on it were scattered all over the ground.

"It's really unreasonable, this Liu Xizuo really doesn't know what to do, he actually plays music with me, he really thinks he is a character, and he dares not to see me!"

Qian Sun Ai is the son of Qian Qianyi and his original wife Chen, Qian Qianyi originally secretly supported Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, with some people from the Donglin Party, but after the failure, he turned to sing praises to Ma Shiying, and relied on his knot to get a position as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Qian Qianyi is still self-aware, and he lives in fear all day long, but Qian Sunai is a little carried away, and he really thinks that he is a master. He met Liu Xizuo before, but the latter immediately made an excuse to leave, did not express his position at all, and never saw Qian Sunai again.

Qian Sunai walked out of the camp tent and asked the soldiers standing on both sides, "Is your general back?" ”

The two soldiers looked at each other, and the one on the left replied, "Lord Hui, the general has not returned to the camp yet." ”

It was not the first time Qian Sunai had heard this answer, so he reluctantly brushed his sleeves and turned inside, the camp curtain had just been lowered, and he raised his footsteps and put it down again, only to hear the two soldiers outside whispering: "Do you say that the general wants to be a general in Guangzhou or a general in Jinling?" ”

"I think the general wants to pay tribute to His Majesty in Guangzhou, and when the Qin sent from Guangzhou just now, the general was hospitable to the other party."

"What do you say? Say it again! Qian Sunai walked out angrily and asked loudly.

"Lord Qian, we, we didn't say anything."

"When I'm deaf!" Qian Sunai pulled out the sword from the waist of the soldier on the right and put it on the latter's neck, "Say it quickly, don't say that the envoy slashed you with a sword, and Liu Xizuo didn't dare to take the envoy, if you die, you will die in vain." ”

"I say, I say," said the soldier on the right, trembling, "our general has had a good conversation with the Qincha from Canton, and it is very likely that he will accept the title of His Majesty Yongli." Lord Qian, the sword has no eyes, can you take the sword away? ”

"Where's Liu Xizuo?"

"The villain really doesn't know!"

"Where is that rebellious minister and thief from Guangzhou?"

"In, in..." The soldier on the right hesitated a little and didn't dare to reveal it, but Qian Sunai pressed his sword down, and the blade cut a bloody mark, and he was so frightened that he immediately pointed to the nearest camp tent and shouted: "In there!" ”

"Count you as acquaintances!"

Qian Sunai kicked the soldier to the ground, and directly broke into Yang Shouchun's camp with a sword, shouting angrily: "Where is the thief? ”

"Who?" Yang Shouchun, who was full of food and drink and was ready to rest, was taken aback, pinching the male duck and shouting: "Come on, come on!" ”

However, no one came in.

"It turned out to be a dead eunuch." Qian Sunai sneered.

"You... Who are you to dare to commit blatant murder here! Yang Shouchun looked at the bright sword in Qian Sunai's hand, and automatically ignored the latter's contempt for him.

"I am the minister of the Qin Mission, Qian Sun Ai, the son of Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, why, is there no one available to King Guiduan, and he actually sent such a eunuch as you?"

Yang Shouchun breathed a sigh of relief when he learned of Qian Sunai's identity, although the two sides did not deal with each other, but it was not fatal, so he strengthened his courage: "Okay, you Qian Sunai, not only insulted me, but also dared to be disrespectful to the saint, and his crime should be punished!" ”

"King Guiduan is the imperial prince, so the envoy naturally doesn't dare to be disrespectful to him, as for you, what is it. Your parents gave birth to you and worked hard to pull you, but you became a eunuch, which is unfilial; Serving the puppet emperor is disloyal. You unfaithful and unfilial dead shemale, a yin and yang person with a rotten ass, how can you still have the face to live in the world!

There is only one Son of Heaven in this Ming Dynasty, and that is His Majesty Hongguang, I advise you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible before you can be pardoned. Qian Sunai pressed forward step by step, and the sword in his hand swung a few times from time to time.

What did Yang Shouchun say about Qian Sun Ai, his face was flushed, he was forced to keep retreating, the corner of his eye swept to a sword hanging next to him, and ran over to draw his sword at Qian Sun Ai: "The surname is Qian, don't come here, otherwise our family will give up their lives and break the net with you!" ”

"Haha, if you have a kind, go here... Uh..."The smile on Qian Sunai's face froze, and when he looked down, the sword in Yang Shouchun's hand had pierced into his chest, "You, how dare you...".

With a "bang", Yang Shouchun hurriedly dropped his sword, and the blood shot directly into his face, he was frightened and fainted, and the two fell together in a pool of blood.

"There's no movement inside?" Outside the tent, a soldier asked, "Why do I have a bad feeling?" ”

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Another proposal.

At this time, Liu Ji came over to check: "What's going on inside?" ”

"General, inside, this..."

Liu Ji saw that they were muttering, his expression was wrong, and he immediately became anxious: "Get out!" ”

Liu Ji opened the curtain of the tent, a breath of blood rushed to his face, he fixed his eyes and saw that the ground was full of blood, Yang Shouchun and Qian Sunai both fell to the ground, and the two swords were next to them, "It's not good." ”

A day later, Yang Shouchun, who had been in a coma for a long time, lay on the bed, muttering: "Water, water..."

Liu Ji on the side heard the words and immediately fed Yang Shouchun with water, and the latter slowly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Ji and Liu Xizuo.

"General Liu, our family can be regarded as seeing you," Yang Shouchun was still complaining at first, and suddenly thought that he seemed to give Qian Sun Ai..., ignoring the feeling of weakness coming from his body, he sat up with a bone: "That Qian Sun Ai, is he dead?" ”

Liu Xizuo nodded heavily.

The three of them were silent, and after a long time, Yang Shouchun saw his belongings beside him, one of which was decorated with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns, he got out of bed and picked it up, and instantly put on a solemn posture: "Liu Xizuo, you still don't obey the order!" ”

Liu Xizuo smiled bitterly in his heart and knelt down to listen to the order, and Liu Ji also knelt behind.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said that Liu Xizuo had meritorious service in resisting thieves, and he was specially named Yong'an Marquis to show his reward, and he hoped to make persistent efforts to be loyal to this dynasty, and he admired this."

"The last general, Liu Xizuo, took the order." Liu Xizuo took the holy decree with both hands, Yang Shouchun stepped forward to help him up, and said: "I forgot to tell the Hou Ye first, this dynasty has abolished this kind of kneeling ceremony, and there is no need to kneel even if you see the Long Live Lord in the future." ”

Liu Xizuo and Liu Ji exchanged glances, and the former smiled: "This is strange." ”

"What is this," Yang Shouchun couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority, "When the Hou Ye arrives in Guangdong, he will understand how His Majesty is wise and martial, and if you change the heavens and the earth, this world will definitely belong to Your Majesty." ”
