General Liu Zongmin came to Wu Xiang's mansion, Wu Xiang respectfully let Liu Zongmin to the hall, offered tea, and then also presented 30,000 taels of silver with both hands to meet the gift, but Liu Zongmin only came to think about Chen Yuanyuan, his eyes were looking around the Wu Mansion, and he didn't care about Wu Xiang at all, so Wu Xiang didn't know what to do, and said embarrassedly: "The general is deeply honored to come to our house, and I have prepared 100,000 taels of silver in the next place, ready to give it to your army to fill the military salary." In addition, I also sent a letter to my son Sangui, persuading him to conform to the will of heaven and the people, surrender to Dashun, and hope that the general can tolerate my father and son. ”

Liu Zongmin said proudly: "With your position, if you want to survive, you need a ransom of 200,000 taels to be enough, why only 100,000 taels to say that your son Wu Sangui is still obsessed and refuses to surrender to my Dashun, do you want to use tens of thousands of horses and horses to fight against my hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers in Dashun It's really stupid You wrote to tell him that I can spare him if I surrender quickly, otherwise, as soon as my Dashun Heavenly Soldiers arrive, he will be wiped out, and the chickens and dogs will not be left."

Wu Xiang fell to his knees in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "The general forgives the sin, I will raise the ransom as soon as possible and sacrifice it to the front of the army. ”

Liu Zongmin snorted impatiently.

Zhou Kui understood Liu Zongmin's thoughts, and reminded on the side: "Lord Wu, my goddaughter Yuanyuan is here, please come out and see the general." ”

Wu Xiang woke up and hurriedly ordered: "Yes, yes, hurry up and invite Miss Chen to come over and meet the general." ”

After a while, the servant led Chen Yuanyuan to the lobby. That Chen Yuanyuan heard the rumbling of cannons outside yesterday, shouting and killing, knowing that the Dashun army was attacking the city, and he had not slept all night in fear, and this morning he was also in anxiety, and the servant came to invite, saying that he wanted to take her to meet the general, and she was still puzzled and thought that Wu Sangui was back, so she followed the servant to the lobby. I didn't want to go to the hall, but when I looked up, I saw Liu Zongmin's eyes that were full of lust.

When Liu Zongmin saw Chen Yuanyuan, he suddenly stood up from his seat in shock, stared at her directly, stood for a long time before he came back to his senses, and sighed in his heart: "There is such a beautiful woman in the world, today is really an eye-opener." If I am accompanied by this woman, it will not be in vain that I have fought for most of my life. ”

Wu Xiang said carefully beside him: "General, this woman is Chen Yuanyuan, the old man originally wanted to dedicate this woman to King Chuang to fill the palace, if the general likes it, then" Wu Xiang was afraid of Liu Zongmin, and saw that he was obviously moved by Chen Yuanyuan, and couldn't help but think of sending Chen Yuanyuan directly to Liu Zongmin.

When Chen Yuanyuan heard Wu Xiang's words, his face was suddenly shocked, and he pointed at Wu Xiang and shouted: "I can't be General Wu's wife, your daughter-in-law, how can you be so reckless?"

When Liu Zongmin heard this, his face was displeased, and he frowned and turned his head to Wu Xiang to ask: "Hmm"

Wu Xiang panicked, and said without words: "General Yu, this woman was originally a woman in the dust, and my son originally wanted to accept her as a concubine, but on the day of the wedding, he was sent to the front line by Emperor Chongzhen, and it was not a ceremony, and my son has a letter stating that he wants to abandon this woman." This can be proved by Jiadingbo. ”

Zhou Kui saw that Wu Xiang had revealed Chen Yuanyuan's identity, so he had to nod his head in awkwardness.

When Chen Yuanyuan heard this, he was dizzy for a while, and said in a sad voice: "No, no, Sangui will not be so ruthless, this must not be Sangui's original intention." You liar, you deceive"

"Hahahaha" Liu Zongmin laughed wildly, the roof tiles in the town were loud, the window edges trembled, everyone listened to it, and Chen Yuanyuan was even more frightened. Liu Zongmin walked up to Chen Yuanyuan and said loudly: "Miss Yuanyuan, that Wu Sangui is so unkind, what do you still love him." My family is a hero of the king, and he has become the master of the world, and he will be able to wipe out the enemy and dominate the country in a few days. Besides, the king of my family is also from a poor background, and he will never be disgusted because you are a dusty woman, and with your appearance, he will be favored, and he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in his life, and he will not be wronged. That Wu Sangui is a villain who forgets his righteousness at both ends of the first rat, and even this general is a hundred times stronger than him. You can rest assured that I will not miss you. ”

Chen Yuanyuan heard Liu Zongmin insulting Wu Sangui, and couldn't help shouting: "Don't let you say that about my husband, he is a hero who resisted the Qing Dynasty, not a snob, I will wait for my husband to come back at home." ”

Liu Zongmin saw that Chen Yuanyuan did not obey, and immediately became furious, and shouted: "I don't know what to do, don't say that Wu Sangui has abandoned you, even if you are the wife he is marrying, you are also the dependents of the enemy general, and I can't help you where to go." As he spoke, he stopped talking nonsense, stretched out his big fan-like hand, grabbed Chen Yuanyuan, clamped it under the tuck, and walked out.

Pity that Chen Yuanyuan's strength is weak, although he struggles desperately, he can't shake it in the slightest.

That Liu Zongmin got on the war horse, pressed Chen Yuanyuan in front of him, and returned to Zhou Kui Mansion with his personal soldiers, he had already planned, since this woman was from the wind and dust, she must not be a chaste martyr, she simply wanted to occupy him first, and then give her to Li Zicheng, she didn't dare to say anything, even if she said it, it didn't matter, he and Li Zicheng were like siblings, and he also helped him lay down this country, he would never blame himself for a woman, maybe he would give this woman to himself.

Liu Zongmin was complacent about the beautiful things on the horse, and just turned a street corner with the team, and suddenly more than a dozen people wearing Ming military uniforms burst out of the alley in front, and the first person was Wang Qiang.

It turned out that Wang Qiang and his entourage evaded the pursuit of the Dashun army, ran around in the streets and alleys and got lost, and went around here

, that Zhou Kui followed Liu Zongmin's side, but recognized Wang Qiang at a glance, and hurriedly shouted: "General, that person is Chongzhen's cronies, the little eunuch Wang Qiang"

Before Liu Zongmin could react, Chen Yuanyuan, who was holding him on his horse, listened, but as if he had grasped a straw, he couldn't care about Wang Qiang's "despicable, shameless, and scheming", and shouted loudly: "Wang Gongzi save me, Wang Gongzi save me, I am Chen Yuanyuan"

That Wang Qiang was running away, and suddenly heard Chen Yuanyuan's shout, and stopped his steps. Since he disturbed Wu Sangui's wedding banquet, he has made up his mind not to worry about Yuanyuan anymore, and feels that since she has married someone else as his wife, he is afraid that he is hopeless in this life, so he also accepted this mind and went to do his own thing. At this time, Chen Yuanyuan said "Wang Gongzi" into his ears, and the previous scenes flashed back to his mind, where did he still go

Wang Qiang turned around and saw Chen Yuanyuan struggling desperately and shouting in front of the general on horseback, and couldn't help shouting: "Traitor, let that Yuanyuan down" More than a dozen Taiping Sect guards who followed Wang Qiang listened to Wang Qiang's shout, and already understood what he meant, without saying a word, he rushed towards Liu Zongmin with a sword, and Liu Zongmin's more than a dozen personal soldiers also rushed up, and the two groups of people fought together. Wang Qiang's personal guards are carefully selected from the militia and military cadets, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they are all fighting for their lives, as soon as they come up, they cut down four or five of Liu Zongmin's personal soldiers, Liu Zongmin saw this, hurriedly pulled out the sword, and was about to enter the battle group, only to hear a whoosh, from the roof next to him shot a silver dart is hitting his shoulder blade, he screamed, the sword fell to the ground, the left hand was also loosened, looked up, a masked man on the opposite roof flashed. Chen Yuanyuan took advantage of Liu Zongmin's letting go, struggling to fall from his horse to the ground, Wang Qiang saw it clearly on the side, and pulled Chen Yuanyuan up with an arrow step and turned into the alley, the guards saw that the sect leader had saved people, and also turned around and ran into the alley, and the two guards guarded the mouth of the alley and blocked the Dashun army. Liu Zongmin saw that Wang Qiang had rescued Chen Yuanyuan, and that he had been injured by the assassin again, so he was so angry that he screamed, and immediately issued an order to mobilize troops and horses to search the city, and he must catch Wang Qiang and snatch Chen Yuanyuan back.

But said that Wang Qiang pulled Chen Yuanyuan to run in the alley, thinking that the general of Dashun would not give up, and would definitely send troops to search and suppress, it seems that it is impossible to escape from the city now, and it is not a way to run around in the alley like this, he should first find a place to hide, he remembered that he had bought a house in Lingjing Hutong in Xicheng, and then he did not live again after he went to the special zone to build a mansion, where only an old servant was left to guard the door, and there was a secret compartment and cellar in the house, which could hide people, and he thought about it, he identified the direction, Led everyone towards Lingjing Hutong, and encountered two Dashun troops in the middle, and the guards resisted separately, and when they arrived at their own house in Lingjing Hutong, there were only five guards left. When the old family saw Wang Qiang coming, they hurriedly led everyone into the house and bolted the door, Wang Qiang briefly said the reason, at this time there were already people shouting on the street outside, obviously the Dashun army had searched this street. The old servant entered the house, hurriedly moved a cabinet by the wall, opened a secret door, and inside was a secret compartment between the wall, the servant pushed Wang Qiang and Chen Yuanyuan in, closed the secret door, and blocked it with a cabinet, and then arranged several other guards to hide in the cellar in the backyard.

The dark compartment was very narrow, it was originally a place where personal valuables were stored at home, but after moving, it was empty, Wang Qiang and Chen Yuanyuan stood face to face, breathing each other and smelling each other's breath, and their bodies were tightly together, and they couldn't even turn around. Chen Yuanyuan has been in a state of panic and panic, and it was only at this time that he settled down a little, only to find that his body was tightly pressed against Wang Qiang, and he wanted to turn around or retreat, but his back was already attached to the back wall, and he couldn't move at all. That Wang Qiang was beautiful at this time, he thought that this Chen Yuanyuan was already an unattainable person, but he was actually saved by himself, and now he is still obediently lying in his arms, and his heart is happy. But thinking that the danger has not passed, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only secretly smell the round body fragrance, which was also enjoyable.

Wang Qiang heard that there was no sound outside, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Chen, how did you get caught by that thief?"

Yuanyuan briefly told what happened, but concealed that Wu Sangui wrote a letter and abandoned herself, because she still doesn't believe it is true.

Wang Qiang secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that the general of the rebel army is Liu Zongmin, Yuanyuan was almost robbed by Li Zicheng, if that is the case, then Wu Sangui will naturally descend to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and lead the Qing army into the customs and become a big traitor." Now I've saved Yuanyuan, but I don't know what will happen next. ”

Yuan Yuan thanked Wang Qiang for sacrificing his life to save himself, and said softly: "Wang Gongzi, thank you for your help this time." ”

Wang Qiang smiled and whispered: "You're welcome, in fact, I have saved you several times, but I have been misunderstood by you, this is the first time I have heard your thanks." ”

"Oh, how many times," Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"Hehe, after you entered the palace, you were targeted by the emperor, if I didn't risk my life to break in to deliver the military report in Zhongcui Palace, I'm afraid you have been favored by Chongzhen, so you don't want to leave the palace again for the rest of your life." And the time in the small courtyard, I deliberately let the emperor and the queen arrive before and after, leading them to turn against them, and the purpose was also to save you. Wang Qiang said.

Chen Yuanyuan was provoked by Zhou Kui, and originally misunderstood Wang Qiang very deeply, but after today's incident, she had seen Zhou Kui's face clearly and said to Zhou Kui

I didn't believe the words at all, and after thinking about it carefully, I already understood that Wang Qiang was really saving himself, so he said: "Then you scolded me in front of the emperor, and it was also to make the emperor disgusted with me, and finally let me go."

"Exactly." Wang Qiang was very relieved to see that Chen Yuanyuan finally understood his hard work, he wanted to take the opportunity to talk about Wu Sangui, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help it, after all, he couldn't explain to Yuanyuan about knowing the historical process.

At this time, I only heard a noisy noise outside, and it was obvious that the Dashun army had entered the house to search. I only heard the sound of turning over the cabinet outside, and the cabinet that was blocked by the dark was also a loud sound, both of them held their breath, and they didn't dare to come out, and their round and frightened bodies were soft, and they involuntarily lay down in front of Wang Qiang's chest, and their bodies trembled slightly. After a while, the noise outside gradually died down, and it was quiet again. After a while, the cupboard was removed, and the old servant opened the door and said, "Come out, sir, they are gone." ”

Wang Qiang and Chen Yuanyuan came out of the dark compartment and saw that the house was already a mess, clothes, bedding, cups, saucers and chopsticks were thrown all over the ground, but fortunately, when they moved, all the valuable items were removed, but nothing was lost. Wang Qiang and the others had been running for most of the day, and they were already so hungry that they were close to their backs, so they told their families to hurry up and make some food, and he and the others rested in the room to study how to escape from the city. The crowd discussed for a long time, and finally agreed to disguise themselves as soldiers of the Dashun army and leave the city at night while it was dark.

After the meal, several guards disguised themselves as ordinary people went out separately to inquire about the news, and Wang Qiang and Chen Yuanyuan chatted in the room. Wang Qiang wanted to know what Chen Yuanyuan planned next, so he asked: "Miss Chen, we are going to escape from the city tonight, our plan is to go all the way south and find our own team to join, I wonder if you are willing to go with us." ”

Chen Yuanyuan was also hesitating in her heart, at noon today, she heard that Wu Sangui wrote a letter and abandoned herself, she was sad and felt untrustworthy, thinking that Wu Xiang had deliberately said this in order to save her life, she planned to ask Wu Sangui in person to ask clearly, but although the way to Shanhaiguan was not far, there was chaos outside, and it was very dangerous to go north alone. She knew that Wang Qiang also liked herself, and sacrificed her life to save her several times, she was very ruthless when she was choosing a son-in-law, and now she feels very sorry in her heart, and she wants Wang Qiang to escort her to find her husband, but she can't say anything anyway.

Chen Yuanyuan hesitated for a long time, and said softly: "My daughter's family, it is quite inconvenient to walk with you, I am afraid that it will become a burden, it is better to hide in the city, and then try to plot against him after the rumor has passed." ”

Wang Qiang Zhengse said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, with the appearance of a girl, staying in the city will be discovered by thieves sooner or later, and I am afraid that I will be humiliated at that time, and besides, you can't show your face, and your livelihood is also a problem." Why don't you go south with us and find a secluded place in the south of the Yangtze River. You can dress up as a man to make it easier to get on the road. ”

Chen Yuanyuan saw that Wang Qiang said sincerely, and it was no longer easy to hide his thoughts, so he said with a look of embarrassment: "Don't hide it from Wang Gongzi, now that I have married Wu Sangui as my wife, I naturally have to find a way to return to him, so I plan to wait for the rumor to go north to find a husband, and I hope that Wang Gongzi will be fulfilled." ”

Wang Qiang felt a tingling pain in his heart, and then thought: "This Yuanyuan has married Wu Sangui, and after all, he still thinks about him, and he still has no chance." Besides, I saved Yuanyuan this time, so whether Wu Sangui will still rush to the crown and lead the Qing army into the customs is also undecided, and it is still too early to draw conclusions. If he still descends, then he can't let Yuanyuan return to his side anyway, lest he follow the big traitor and bear the infamy of the ages. He pondered for a moment and was silent.

When Yuanyuan saw it, he thought that Wang Qiang was sad, and he was very upset, and said softly beside him: "Although Yuanyuan was born in the dust, he also knows that a good woman does not marry a second husband, and now that he is married to Sangui, he should be careful to abide by the woman's way, and he must go to find him even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers." Please also ask the prince not to be worried. You and I are close friends, and I believe that Childe can understand my heart. ”

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly and said: "It's a good saying, a good woman doesn't marry a second husband, this is not bad, but there is also a saying that loyal ministers don't care about the two masters." The day before yesterday, the capital was in danger, the Ming Dynasty was about to be destroyed, then Wu Sangui should have raised troops to save him, but he did not move, he was already disloyal, this Chongzhen Emperor was mediocre, he didn't protect and didn't blame him. Now that Li Zicheng is about to become the emperor, Wu Sangui is to demote Li Chuang, after all, they are all Han people, I count him as abandoning the dark and turning to the light, and he reluctantly said the past. But if he descends to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, becomes a lackey of the foreign tribes, and comes to harm the people of the Central Plains, what should you do then?"

"No, Sangui is a hero who resisted the Qing Dynasty, how could he surrender to the Tartars and harm my Han people, this is absolutely impossible, if that's the case, I will regard him as dung, and I should break off with him" Yuanyuan's face turned pale and said eagerly.

"Well, since this is the case, I think so, now that the city of Beijing is broken, if he still thinks about you in his heart, he will naturally be anxious, please repair a book, explain the situation to him, and I will send it to him, so that he can rest assured. In addition, I am a good person to the end, after breaking through tonight, I will escort you to the north and defect to Wu Sangui, if he can spread the banner of righteousness high and continue to resist the Qing Dynasty, you will go with him, if he really does something inferior to a beast and become a traitor, then you will go south with me, and never think about him again" Wang Qiang said angrily.

Chen Yuanyuan was only worried about whether Wu Sangui would dislike himself because he was a dusty woman, but he firmly believed that Wu Sangui would not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so he said: "According to the words of the son, thank you for the kindness of the son's escort along the way." ”

"It's a promise, we'll send you out of the city tonight," Wang Qiang said.
