Chapter 720: Rain? Tears? Blood? (below)
"My lord, please call the shots for the students!"
Hou Fangyu also couldn't care about the decency and demeanor of the fourth son of the Fushe. wiped a handful of tears and blood from his face, and knelt down in front of Hong Chengchou, like a child who had been separated from his family for many years and had tasted the warmth and coldness of being displaced from the world, and suddenly reunited with his family, he couldn't help crying.
Hong Chengchou looked at Hou Fangyu, a handsome face, I don't know who punched him in the face, his face was blue and purple, and his mouth and nose couldn't stop oozing blood. It seems that the injury is not light, when has this Hou Gongzi suffered such a loss?
"Who hit you?" Hong Chengchou's words made several house slaves around him quite curious. Some of the people here are quite annoyed by Hou Gongzi's arrogant and unpopular son's brotherhood, and they wish he was unlucky. There is one exception. That is Inspector Hong's new pillow person, the new **. Dafan is like a woman, she can't see someone who looks better than herself, even if it's almost the same. Today, when I saw Hou Gongzi coming back from eating deflated without knowing where, my heart was as comfortable as eating a bowl of iced sour plum soup on dog days.
"The! I don't know which prince Baylor I met in Nanjing City, and hit someone's knife! Our master loves talents and knows how to respect scholars, but this eight masters of Qiu in Nanjing City, Gushan Ezhenjia Lazhangjing, who knows your young master Hou's noble surname? ! Should! Got beaten up!? β
"My lord! Adults are invited to call the shots for the students! Hou Fangyu sobbed and cried about his grievances. That scene is basically the kind of crying pear blossom with rain after the maid in his house was pierced with peach blossoms by the golden needle on a whim by him.
Although Inspector Hong politely called him his brother in accordance with the etiquette of the world's friends, and regarded him as a junior nephew, but now that he is begging someone to support him, he naturally does not dare to be too presumptuous with Scholar Hong. kept calling Hong Chengchou an adult, but he didn't dare to call him Uncle Shi and Uncle Shi like he did when he saw Zuo Liangyu and others in the past.
"What the hell is going on?" Hong Chengchou put away his concerned expression and put on a straight face. If it was true that the Qing soldiers stationed in Nanjing at this time were either greedy for Hou Fangyu's property, or because of other things, it would be a big problem to appease Nanjing and even the entire Jiangnan officials and gentlemen.
"This, this γγγγγ" Hou Fangyu suddenly snorted for a while, and refused to say it directly.
"Lord Yuhong, my son-in-law was beaten by the white-armored soldiers guarding there in Meixiang Building." The family behind Hou Fangyu, under the coercion of Hong Chengchou, confided the truth.
Meixianglou, before the Qing army entered Nanjing City, for Hou Fangyu, it was a place where it was banned. Inside the building, the maid had already been ordered by Li Zhenli, "If you dare to help the young lady to deal with the little white face surnamed Hou, be careful of her skin!" Outside the door, the two gangs of Yancao in Nanjing, the idlers in the market have already gotten the news, as long as they see his family surnamed Hou moving a step in the direction of Meixianglou, they will immediately spread the news one after another. His people have not yet arrived, and the Meixiang Building has long been prepared.
What's more, from time to time in the building, the marshal will come here to live for a few days, and the people who come and go are all court officials and generals in the army. Ying Tianfu's officials, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the volunteers of the Yancao two gangs, as well as the soldiers of Li Huabao who guarded the yamen, Li Shouhan's guards, and the personal guards of the adults, have long been similar to the iron buckets guarded here. Although he Hou Fangyu is quite famous, he has also given birth to a face that can hook up with the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law to eat soft rice, and there is never a shortage of gold and silver in his waist. However, his fame has long been dismissed. As a white man, if he wants to mix here, the probability of success is basically the same as the difficulty of Takushima bidding for the Olympics and the World Cup in the name of the country and successfully qualifying to host it, or Japan successfully recovering the army and then obtaining the qualification of the United Nations hooligan.
But that's no longer the case. Li Shouhan is far away in Jiujiang, and whether he can come back is one thing. Even if he heard the news and led his army back to Nanjing, thousands of miles back to help, in the face of the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops who relied on Nanjing's strong city walls to wait for work, he could bargain? So, Hou Fangyu, the eldest prince of Hou, with his head held high, as a hero, took a new look with a new look of domestic slaves to guard a large number of scholars, and went straight to Meixiang Building in high spirits. He wants to get back everything he has lost in this place where he has lost face and can't hold the beauty!
However, when he rushed to the outside of Meixiang Building dozens of steps, he was stopped by a team of arrogant white-armored soldiers.
"Stop! This is a forbidden place! Without the king's general order, idle people, etc., are not allowed to trespass! "The white armor soldiers led the team by a Jialazhang Jingbu Yantu of Manchuria with a white flag, and the white flag Manchuria was inlaid with a straight line, and the Chinese dialect with a Liaodong accent was quite blunt.
"Presumptuous! This is my Hou Gongzi, who came to Meixianglou to visit and comfort Miss Li. I was afraid that she would be frightened by the chaotic soldiers and horses in the city, so I came to comfort her. "The head of the Hou family, it has not been so majestic for a long time. When even if he took out the supervisor who was waiting to come out of the year, there were 300,000 horses of Zuo Liangyu under his command, and Li Huayu and others came out under the account.
"We know that Miss Li lives here. We are here to guard by the order of the king! What I'm afraid of is the stragglers, and the idle people are waiting here to disturb and frighten the nobles! The leader of the team, Jialazhang Jing Buyantu, was a little impatient, he waved his hand, like a fly, trying to blow away the group of nasty guys in front of him. Although he shaved his hair, he looked like a freshly shaved head, and his accent was the same as that of the guy who ran to the prince's master and horse like a swarm of flies. None of them are hard-headed heroes!
On the contrary, it is this small building, according to the people around the prince, it is the woman who lived in Ning Yuanbo before the Ming Kingdom and Li Mafa, the current Duke of Liang Guo. Thinking about that Li Mafa, although he has been against our Qing Dynasty for many years, the father and son are all heroes, and the soldiers and horses of his subordinates are even more admirable. Fighting against this father, son and daughter is much more enjoyable than just drinking and eating meat with those wastes who are looking for the wind!
Therefore, today I was able to come to Meixianglou to guard under the military order of the prince to prevent disturbances such as stragglers and idle people, and this Jialazhang Jingbu Yantu with a white flag Manchuria felt that it was a rather glorious mission given to him by the prince, and the woman who guarded the strongman and hero in their minds also showed that they themselves were also strongmen.
"No one, without the orders of General Ben and Scholar Hong, must not come within ten steps of this house! If you disturb the nobles, you slave, this king will inevitably punish you for the crime of delaying the military aircraft! β
The words of the Duoduo when he handed over the messenger to Kala Zhangjing Buyantu still echoed in his ears.
"Probably the master hero is a hero, right? As the Mongols say, the grievances and hatred between Genghis Khan and Zamuhe back then, right? Or maybe Mr. Hong gave his master some good idea, to use the woman in this building as a fishing bait and hook to lull Ning Yuanbo's hundreds of thousands of troops under his old man's command to surrender? Wrong! I heard from the merchants in the south that in the first battle of Tashan, Ning Yuanbo's favorite Da Gege almost died at the hands of Cao Beile, and his eldest son died at the hands of the spearmen. With such a great hatred, how could his old man easily surrender to me because of one or two women? Could it be that the master wants to keep these women for his own use? β
In the spring rain, the bored guard was outside the Meixiang Building. Occasionally, there are green-skinned singles, ruffians and hooligans, stragglers, etc., who take advantage of the fire to rob, and they see this group of white-armored soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding long knives and axes from a distance, and they have long been hiding far away, and they can get rich anywhere, so why send their heads under other people's knives?
But at this time, Hou Gongzi and a group of people came triumphantly.
If Hou Gongzi can understand a little bit about the Qing army, he doesn't need to be as familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., as long as he understands a little, he will not suffer this loss.
In the rain curtain woven by the thin rain silk, a huge woven gold dragon stood at the corner of the street, occupying his field of vision and piercing his retina with great domineering. Underneath the woven golden dragon, more than 100 people were wearing white armor with red edges, iron helmets on their heads, and the black helmets on the long lightning rods on the helmet were soaked by the rain and clinged to the top of the helmet. Hou Fangyu didn't know that weaving the golden dragon was the banner master Gushan Ezhen in the Qing army, the banner commander Beile, and Baya Laxu Zhangjing who were eligible to use the banner. The golden dragon woven by this group of white-armored soldiers is used by Duoduo, which represents his military orders here, and the white-armored soldiers of this Niu Lu represent General Yangwei and Prince Heshuo Yu to carry out military orders here.
What's more, the group of white-armored soldiers inlaid with white flags in front of them, all holding shields, broadswords, spears and other weapons, and their bodies were bulging, obviously wearing two layers of heavy armor, the outer part was the southern middle breastplate, and the inside was wearing cotton armor inlaid with iron sheets. And those who are obviously officers at first glance are wearing three layers of armor, the innermost layer is chain mail, followed by iron-inlaid cotton armor, and the outermost layer is the southern middle cuirass. All the cuirasses of Nanzhong have been wiped with fine cotton cloth dipped in grease, and each piece is light and visible, and the raindrops hit it, as if a few drops of water were sprinkled on the mirror.
It's a status symbol, a sign that we're the best of the best, and that's why all of us are so well armoured.
However, no matter how well the outer cuirass is wiped and maintained, it can't stand the iron-inlaid cotton armor inside and has never been washed for many years. From the inside out, the sweat expelled from the body soaked the strong smell of cotton. This kind of cotton armor, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Army, both sides are the cotton after special processing, soaked in water and then dried in the sun, full of toughness, when the Eight Banners make cotton armor, it is to soak the cotton, and then repeatedly pat, make a very thin cotton sheet, after embellishing a number of such cotton pieces into a thick cotton cloth, install an iron sheet between the two layers of cotton cloth, fix it with copper nails inside and outside, and the cotton armor is made. Good defense performance and good warmth, however, the disadvantage is that it is not breathable. Therefore, the smell of sweat soaked in cotton armor can be imagined.
"Sure enough, it's a fishy beard!"
Although it was washed away by the gusts of spring rain, covering the strong smell emanating from the armor, the remaining smell was still a stench that was difficult to hide for Hou Fangyu, the prince of Hou who was accustomed to smelling the fragrance of fat powder and rouge in and out of the splendid Qiluo pile.
"Go! Tell the master that we are going to Meixianglou and take Li Xiangjun and Miss Li, who was abused and persecuted by Li thief Li Shouhan, back to the house. Ask them to make it easier. β
Originally, I thought that with my own identity and face, I could send a family member to say hello, and at most send a few taels of silver for wine, and I could take the beautiful woman who was in Zi for many days back to the house in a grand manner. To be honest, Hou Dagongzi is not short of women, but face is absolutely indispensable. Today he is not coming to pick up Li Xiangjun, but the face he lost in the city of Nanjing, by the Qinhuai River, in front of Li Xiangjun, and in front of the people of Nanjing.
However, when his family was very polite, but with a swagger in his words, he went to Jialazhang Jingbu Yantu, who led the white armor soldiers, and then he could Shi Shiran walk in, and play the role of a hero in front of Li Xiangjun, who was frightened by the chaos, and let the petite body called "Xiang Fan Pendant" be hotly thrown into his warm and broad embrace. Perhaps, tonight you can show your pride on this beautiful woman's delicate body and leave your own permanent mark.
The distance was only a dozen steps away, and Hou Fangyu could already see clearly behind the iconic glass window and white curtain on the second floor of Meixiang Building, and he could vaguely see that familiar figure. "Don't worry! Xiangjun! This will take you out of this fire pit! From now on, you will not be wronged at all. Hou Fangyu almost had to shout. Although he doesn't know if what he wants to say is what he really thinks in his heart, anyway, it is always right to say this kind of thing to a girl like Li Xiangjun at this time. (In Aunt Qiong Yao's, the male protagonist cheats on the female protagonist, or the scumbag tricks the girl into applauding for love, which is often the same tone.) It was so touching that almost all of them believed it. is worthy of being a person who has personally experienced these things, without life experience, Aunt Qiong Yao will never be able to write such a bridge. Well, it seems that the scumbags she met in her old man are not a minority. οΌ
is in the midst of fascination, but not far away is already a sudden change. Somehow, several family members of the Hou Mansion were pressed to the ground by several white-armored soldiers under the fierce shouts of Jialazhang Jingbu Yantu and began to punch and kick.
"What's going on!" The family members of the Hou Mansion hurriedly rushed forward, and the guards who intended to show themselves in front of the master were about to put the Qing soldiers right. Are you kidding?! It turns out that in this Nanjing city, only we beat others, when has there ever been a person in our family who was pressed to the ground on the street and beaten violently? (Of course, traitors such as Li Thief Shouhan and Ma Shiying controlled the court, and it was not counted when traitors were rampant in the DPRK and China.) οΌ
However, if Zuo Liangyu gave Hou Fangyu to serve as a bodyguard and guard, if they were used to slaughter good people, loot people's property, kill people and set fires, and act as dog-legged thugs around Hou Fangyu's sons, supporting the scene and cheering for the masters, it would be better. They are very good at seeing the eyes of their masters. However, if you really want to go into battle, especially against the white armor soldiers in the Eight Banners Manchuria, the core part of the Qing army's combat effectiveness, even if it is just a group fight, it is definitely not an opponent. (You can refer to the comparison of the security guard of the property who met the special operations detachment of the field army special operations brigade, and make up that scene in your head.) οΌ
As a result, a scene that shocked Hou Fangyu appeared. In a few breaths, the more than 20 guards who had been on the streets of Nanjing in the past were put to the ground under the fierce laughter of more than a dozen white-armored soldiers. Looking at the situation, it seems that these soldiers with white flags in Manchuria have not yet used all their strength.
Indeed, these white-armored soldiers, under the instruction of Jialazhang Jingbu Yantu, only moved their bodies with their fists, feet, scabbards, and guns with a small movement with these guards. didn't use all his strength, otherwise, how many of these ruffians of the left battalion, who had already soaked their bones by the Qinhuai River, could they be curry favor in front of the white-flaged Manchurian white-armored soldiers? Perhaps, there were already more than 20 heads rolling on the Qinhuai River, and the blood stains from the more than 20 headless corpses were just excreting some more garbage into the Qinhuai River. After all, the masters of these people have already shaved their hair and changed their clothes, maybe it is some of the newly surrendered figures in Nanjing City who have made it too stiff, and it is difficult to explain it in front of the prince and master when he goes back.
There is a way to beat the child and the mother to come out, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Since his men were beaten and immobilized, they wailed and groaned. Then, Hou Fangyu, who is the master, has to come out to find the scene and say a few words of faΓ§ade.
However, a few words made Buyantu feel uncomfortable. Why did you come to me to point fingers? Besides, we came by order of the prince. If you want to go in, you can, bring the prince's decree. If you want to take people away, you must have a great order from the king.
As a result, the head of the four sons of our Fushe Society had a cordial and friendly meeting with Buyan Tujia Lazhangjing in a warm atmosphere, and the talks were so deep that they reached the realm of touching the body and soul.
The six-in-one hat on Hou Fangyu's head was knocked to the ground, and he rolled twice in the muddy water and didn't move. The scholar who gave him an umbrella behind him was also beaten by two white-armored soldiers with white flags and bleeding from his mouth and nose, squatting on the ground and crying loudly. The physical pain is not the most fatal, the most terrible thing is that the two white-armored soldiers have bad intentions and smile evilly on the scholar's face, and they touch the scholar's crotch with one hand. So the boy howled like a widow who had lost her knot. Originally! Although we rely on chrysanthemums to eat with our faces, it's not just that anyone can come over and do something to us.
Although the Chinese language of the white-armored soldiers was stiff, Hou Fangyu and his scholar still understood a few words.
"You say, these two boys, are they male or female?"
"The Southern Dynasty is so strange, this kind of male and female goods are actually popular, no wonder they are so vulnerable!"
"That's it! You say he's a mother, he has that thing in his crotch. You say he's a male, look at this thin skin and tender meat, it's even finer than the women in our family. β
"That's it! Look at it, how can this public product be so greased and powdered?! β
"You wait for Ben Gongzi!"
Hou Fangyu put down a cruel word, turned around and led someone to find Scholar Hong.
However, he didn't notice that when he turned to leave, Fang had just witnessed this scene at the window, especially when he saw the six-in-one hat on Hou Fangyu's head being knocked to the ground, revealing the money rattail and the weak scalp on his head, the petite body that had stood for a long time trembled a few times, and finally almost used all his strength to stand firm.
"Mom, find out the token that my mother left for me when she left the city. Let's clean up, and after dark, let people contact a few stewards of the Cao Gang on the river. When I told them, I said that I, Li Xiangjun, were going to Shanghai County to find my mother and asked them to help me. β
Li Xiangjun held the bamboo card left to her by Li Zhenli from the dresser that her mother found out of the dresser, and her face was solemn.
"Miss, don't stay in Nanjing? Haven't you been waiting for Hou Gongzi to come? β
"Don't wait. Mother is right, this person is not a person who can be entrusted with life. I'm going to Shanghai County to find my mother, and find someone I can trust for life. β
