On the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, in Licheng County, Jinan Prefecture, Daming Dynasty, on the official road on the bank of the Daqing River, galloped through thirty or forty horsemen, most of these horses were dressed as merchants who were dusty and servant, but they carried knives, bows and firearms, and the horses under the crotch were also tall and strong, and they knew at a glance that they were not good.

And the leading rider is a veiled beauty in red. Although he is running around, he is still wearing a red and bright suit. This red dress is cut very well, and the good figure of this beauty is concave and convex, which is very eye-catching.

Behind the horse of the red-dressed beauty was a woman in white, who also covered her face with a veil, but her clothes were a little fat, covering her figure. From a distance, I saw that the woman's white clothes below her chest were swaying up and down with the horse's hooves.

The two women, who seem to look good, lead dozens of heroes with knives, bows and firearms, galloping on the ground of Jinan Mansion in the chaos of soldiers, this scene is unusual!

These dozens of horsemen came from the direction of Tai'an Prefecture in the south of Licheng in the capital county of Jinan, and did not go straight into Licheng, but went around the city and galloped towards Yantou Town, which is about 20 miles northeast of Licheng.

Yantou Town was originally the most prosperous commercial town outside the city of Jinan. The town is located on the Daqing River, a fairly good waterway, with direct access to the Bohai Sea to the east and the Grand Canal to the west. Therefore, it gradually developed, and before the advent of the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it has become a prosperous town where merchants gather.

But since the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army that plundered at the entrance broke through Jinan, and slaughtered in and around the city of Jinan, burning hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, and the once prosperous Yantou Town weakened sharply.

In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, this commercial town, which had been prosperous for more than 200 years, had only its last breath left, and it was still hanging on to the little vitality after the autumn harvest. When the weather turns cold, the town of Nuoda is afraid that it will become a "ghost town" with houses and no people.

And although the current Yantou Town is not a ghost town, it is not much better. Most of the shops are empty, and only a few shops are perfunctory next to the Daqing River wharf, hoping to make a few before the new catastrophe arrives. Among them, there is only one restaurant that can entertain merchants, and when I saw that such a large group of passing merchants arrived, the shopkeepers in the store personally stopped on the official road.

The shopkeeper who can open a business in this chaos is naturally not an ordinary person, and when he sees these dozens of strong men and the two women in the lead, he knows that there is a way forward. At that moment, he arched his hand, and opened his mouth to say in black words: "Looking up at the high mountains on the way, there is a golden plaque on the mountain: Taishan Beidou Great Wall Ridge!" ”

The red-clothed beauty also arched her hand immediately, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the brother of the Great Wall Ridge in Shandong, the red lady on Jigong Mountain, this is polite!" ”

This shop turned out to be a black shop run by bandits on the nearby Great Wall Ridge!

The shop is dark, but today's visitors are even darker, it is actually the wife of Zhu Cihong's military advisor Li Yan, the red lady who once fell into the grass in Jigong Mountain, Xinyang!

That was a well-known murderer in the rivers and lakes at the end of the Ming Dynasty! The robbers on the Great Wall Ridge weren't even farts in her eyes, not to mention that the other woman who came with her today was a fierce demon.

The shopkeeper of the black shop was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed, and said: "The little one doesn't know that the red lady is coming, and he has missed the distance, forgive the sins, forgive the sins." ”

The red lady had already flipped off the horse, and ignored the shopkeeper, but went to help the woman in white get off the horse, and said with a smile: "Sister Xing, there is only here, although it is a black shop, it looks clean." ”

The woman known as Sister Xing giggled: "A black shop is a black shop, can there be a black forehead no matter how black it is?" Forgive them for not daring to count the idea! ”

This woman's Shaanxi accent is also called by the red lady: Sister Xing. The shopkeeper immediately thought of one person, that is, Xing Niangzi, who cheated the king Li Zicheng!

People even cheated Li Zicheng, not to mention Lao Li's family property, and also hooked up with Li Zicheng's general Gao Jie to elope together, and cuckolded King Chuang!

And Xing Niangzi's current husband Gao Jieke is stationed in Jinan City, and he wants to provoke her, so it is not a piece of cake to turn back to Mr. Gao and send troops to suppress the Great Wall Ridge?

When the red lady and Xing Niangzi were talking, the dozens of strong men who followed them were already busy, either entering the store to search, or arranging sentry posts around, or leading the horses to the stables to take care of them personally, so that they looked like they were often walking around the rivers and lakes.

The little boss who was in charge of searching the store quickly came out to report: "Madame, the store is still clean, and there are no other guests, but there are a lot of wine and food. ”

The red lady nodded, smiled and asked, "But the friends of the Haisha Gang have booked a table?" ”

"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper nodded, "it was the brothers of the Haisha Gang who took the name of the helmsman Shen to book the banquet, saying that they were going to have a banquet in Yantou Town. ”

"We are the guests invited by the helmsman Shen," the red lady smiled, "Let's get some food first, then clean up a few clean guest rooms and boil some bath water." ”

After the order, the red lady said to Sister Xing: "Wait a while, the master will be here soon, and our sisters will have to pick it up." ”

The master is Zhu Cihong, and he is now on a sand boat that has sailed into the Daqing River, not too far from Yantou Town.

Although he drove into Jinan Mansion with an army of 40,000, the purpose of his journey was not to fight with Gao Jie, but to meet Gao Jie's wife Xing Niangzi.

This Xing Niangzi, who dared to cuckold Li Zicheng, is a heroine among women, in Gao Jie's own words, that is, "Xing has a strategy, I can help myself, not greedy." It probably means that he Gao Jie is not really afraid of his wife, but his wife Xing has the style of a general and is very intelligent, so he obeys Xing's words.

In other words, as long as Zhu Cihong can get Xing Niangzi, then Gao Jie will also fall to Zhu Cihong with all his heart.

Among the four towns in Jiangbei, although Liu Zeqing acted recklessly, he was as timid as a chicken when he went to the battlefield, and he would shrink when the matter came. Liu Liangzuo also has the same virtue as Liu Zeqing, and Shi Kefa probably can't control him. The really difficult ones to deal with are Gao Jie and Huang Degong. Huang Degong has already arranged for someone to deal with it, and it will definitely not be bad. Now there is only one Gao Jie left, as long as Xing Niangzi is done, then Gao Jie can also be used by Zhu Cihong.

And after Gao Jie defected, most of the nearby Liu Zeqing would also defect. Zhu Cihong brought 40,000 troops into Jinan, Gao Jie had 30,000 troops, and the two of them added up to 70,000 troops, and Liu Zeqing had no way to resist.

If Huang Degong leaves, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing will take refuge in the prince, and Liu Liangzuo, who is among the four towns, can only follow suit.

In this way, according to Shi Kefa, there was only the little Qinwang Yijun brought from Nanjing, and it was impossible to contend with the more than 100,000 troops on Zhu Cihong's side.

When Zhu Cihong's sand boat docked on the wharf of Yantou Town, Xing Niangzi and Red Lady had already washed off the dust on the road, took off the veil of shade, changed into a clean Luo shirt and long skirt, and took their subordinates to stand on the dock to greet them.

Seeing Zhu Cihong, who was wearing a jade-white Confucian costume and holding a folding fan, like a young scholar, and Li Yan, who was also graceful, with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like a star, came side by side, the red lady bowed down and said: "The concubine respectfully invites the thousand-year-old master Jin'an." ”

Xing beside her saw the red lady kneeling down and bowing, and then looked at the young man Zhu Cihong who was walking off the springboard, and also took two steps forward, arrived in front of Prince Zhu, and then knelt down as well, and said sweetly: "Slave Xing, knock to see the master." ”

Zhu Cihong glanced down, and saw Xing's chest sudden, and he was about to tear his clothes out when he leaned down, which was really bewitching.

"You're Xing?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Raise your head." ”

Xing Shi followed his words and raised his face for Zhu Cihong to taste carefully. I have to say that this is indeed a beauty full of charm, her hair is combed obediently, her eyebrows are light, her red lips are shallow, her delicate white skin is lined with delicate and beautiful facial features, her face is charming, and her posture is even more graceful.

Zhu Cihong smiled and raised his hand, "Two of you, please get up." ”

When Xing and the red lady heard this, they both got up. Zhu Cihong took the opportunity to taste the beauty again.

Although this Xing Niangzi has been a mother for a long time, her figure has been maintained very well, with rich breasts and fat buttocks and a slender waist that can barely be regarded as strong, she is really the best among women, Gao Jie's Yanfu is really not shallow!
