Xiao Shunzi has been in the palace for many years, and has won the appreciation of Zheng Gonggong because of his intelligence, cleverness, quick hands and feet, and good at observing words and feelings. A few days ago, I accompanied my master out of the palace in micro-clothes, and dressed up as a small maid to go to Yanliuhe in the suburbs of Beijing.

After returning to the palace, he took the initiative to report the itinerary to Gonggong Zheng, and when he saw Gonggong Zheng bowing his head and being silent after listening, he couldn't help but say again: "Father-in-law, although the little one has not studied for a few days, he also knows that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." A little geisha, I directly set fire to her painting boat, snatched it back, stripped it naked, hung it up and beat it, how to clean it up, and didn't have to spend a single child! I really don't know what the master thinks. ”

Gonggong Zheng glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Except for me, if you dare to go out and chew your tongue and leak the news, you don't need the master to do it, I will pick your head first!" Remember? ”

Xiao Shunzi kowtowed again and again: "Don't dare to lend me a coward!" Xiao Shunzi has no father since she was a child, and you are always my father. ”

Gonggong Zheng smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "You little rabbit cub has a sweet mouth." To let you follow the master is to give you a chance. Gain the trust of your master as soon as possible, and your future future is limitless. The master has three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is not worth fighting for a dusty woman. There are only two kinds of people in the world, one is the slave of power, and the other is the slave of gold and silver. It is inconvenient for the master to reveal his identity, he can play as much as he wants, and you just serve carefully. ”

At dusk of this day, the young emperor nodded to Zheng Decai again and instructed: "I still want to go out of the palace in Weifu, you go and fetch the night pearl that the Western Regions paid tribute to." ”

Gonggong Zheng opened his mouth and said, "Holy Lord, that is a rare treasure!" ”

The saint said impatiently: "If you want to take it, you will take it, and you will be verbose." Let those little eunuchs follow me. ”

Gonggong Zheng retreated speechlessly.

At night, the Yanliu River is still brilliant and lively. The huge painting boat of the Smoke Girl is still full of friends and overcrowded.

After the song ended, the man in purple still stayed at the end. When the mother-in-law walked up to him with a wooden tray with a smile on her face, he unhurriedly took out a crystal clear ball and put it on the tray. My mother-in-law has seen some of the world, but her eyes were straight like a lightning strike, and her lips trembled and she was stunned. So much so that the boy in purple called a few times but there was no response.

It took a long time for the mother-in-law to return to her place and come back to life. Said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, don't say anything, the old man will go and call my girl like smoke down." After saying that, his legs did not obey the call, and he stumbled up the stairs with a wooden pallet.

Miss Ruyan was removing her makeup in the mirror, and she was very surprised to see her mother-in-law looking flustered and stumbling upstairs. Asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with my mother-in-law?" ”。

The mother-in-law held the tray excitedly and said, "Girl, look at what kind of treasure this is?"

Ruyan curiously stretched out her jade hand, gently pinched the round ball and put it in front of her eyes, and said lightly after a while: "This is the night pearl produced in the Western Regions, which son is so generous?" If you can't afford to smoke such a gift. ”

The mother-in-law's eyes were straight, her lips trembled, and she hurriedly asked, "According to the girl, how much is this treasure worth?" ”

Ruyan Yanran smiled and said: "Mother-in-law said that it was funny, this thing is rare in the world, it is a priceless treasure, how can it be converted into two silver?" ”

The mother-in-law said with a pale face: "So the old man has lived in this life, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener, and it is not in vain--- in vain - he has lived in vain!" ”。

Ruyan covered her lips and smiled: "Why did my mother-in-law suddenly stammer?" Thou hast not answered me to which noble man this object is rewarded? ”

The mother-in-law said breathlessly: "It's the purple-clothed boy who drank alone with the girl last time." ”

Hearing this, he frowned slightly, and said with disgust: "He! As he spoke, he gently put the night pearl back on the tray, turned his back and said, "Trouble the mother-in-law to return this thing to the son, and tell him that Ruyan has thanked him, but this thing is too valuable and Ruyan can't afford it." In addition, I am not feeling well today, so I will not accompany me. ”

The mother-in-law stomped her feet anxiously and said, "Okay, my little ancestor, what are you going to do when it's all here?" Do you know that two days ago, a rich boy in another painting boat rewarded 1 million taels of silver tickets, and the girl was in tears at that time, and she almost knelt on the spot with tears in her eyes! Later, he took the initiative to serve the son for three nights, and finally promised to do so. There are millions of beads, why are you indifferent? ”

Ru cigarette butt smiled slightly: "How can others ignore it." There are many more priceless than the night pearls in this world, and you don't understand it, just do what I tell you to do. ”

The mother-in-law was reluctant to move half a step and muttered: "It's a pity that the old body doesn't have the youthful beauty and talent of the girls, otherwise, let alone tears on the spot, I will admit it on the spot!" Girl, don't forget that's what we're doing, don't be pretentious! ”。

Ruyan turned around and said unhappily: "Mother-in-law doesn't need to insinuate, I feel that I have never treated you badly." As smoke knows that our status is low, we now do not have to worry about food and clothing, and we do not have to grovel to others against our will. Do you have to see smoke and fall into a fire pit to be comfortable? If you are really reluctant, go and accompany that son by yourself! ”。

The mother-in-law grinned bitterly and said, "The old body is willing to sacrifice his life to accompany him, but that son has to be willing too!" ”。

Seeing Ruyan turn around and ignore her angrily, her mother-in-law sighed helplessly, and went downstairs step by step.

The boy in purple stood up, his mother-in-law held the tray in her hand, and said with a complicated expression: "Don't blame the nobleman, Miss Ruyan said that this thing is too valuable, and she has no blessing to eat, and I hope that the son will take it back." In addition, if the smoke girl is unwell today, let the old body thank you on her behalf, and thank her son for her sins another day. ”

Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and scolded: "Your girl doesn't know how to lift!" How dare a kiln sister be so rude, and don't want to live! ”。

The purple-clothed boy waved his sleeves and said, "Presumptuous! Where do you have to speak here? Get the hell out of here! ”。

The mother-in-law knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed, and said, "The noble man should not be angry!" It's really like a smoke girl is in poor health, and the old body kowtows to the nobles for her to make amends, I hope that the nobles don't remember the villain, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly! ”。

The purple-clothed boy grabbed the night pearl without saying a word, turned around and left.

On the returning boat, looking up at the master's gloomy face, Xiao Shunzi said in a low voice: "The master doesn't have to worry, the slave will burn her broken boat and tie her back." ”

The purple-clothed boy sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Don't act recklessly without my instructions!" Killing her is as easy as crushing an ant. It's just that Ben Gongzi is very curious: Is there really a woman in this world who doesn't love treasures? ”。

The emperor who returned to the palace was soon troubled by the troubles of the Taiping bandits approaching the capital, and he had no time to go to the Yanliu River at night for the time being.

"Thor" Gao Jin BMW did not stop, and led the army straight to the capital. When the defenders along the way found out that his target was the capital, they were scared to death, and hurriedly poured out of the nest and followed closely. It is a capital crime to lose the city where he is stationed, and if the Taiping army is allowed to kill all the way to the capital and startle the holy driver, it is a capital crime among capital crimes.

In order to get rid of the increasingly thick tail, the Taiping army had to stop and fight two ambush battles. The defenders of the county were indeed weakened, and because of the lack of unified command, they were about to collapse at the touch of a button. was killed by the so-called heavenly soldiers and generals of the Taiping Army. "Thor" has more confidence in smashing the Yellow Dragon, he seems to have seen the banner of the Taiping Army flying high in the city, sitting on the wide dragon chair, holding three thousand beauties left and right. He suddenly hummed a little song in his heart without a teacher: I am beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, I am drunk, drunk---

This pleasant mood lasted until the capital city was down, and he met the white-bearded old man.

Yan Shiduo had no choice but to take most of the new army to protect the country that had not yet completed their training, and went out to garrison ten miles outside the capital. These recruits, who had never been on the battlefield, had to face their first baptism of blood and fire.

Gao Jinbao has always instilled a firm belief in his subordinates: he is the reincarnation of "Thor", and the children of the Taiping Army were originally heavenly soldiers and generals, and after his ignition, everyone was invulnerable. If someone dies on the battlefield, it can only mean that the guy who died is insincere and not strong enough. Therefore, in the process of fighting, the Taiping soldiers often fought bravely without fear of death.

Yan Shiduo faced the menacing men and horses of the Taiping Army, and unhurriedly ordered the herald standard-bearer to wave colorful flags, issue military orders, and gradually unfold the formation. Since you can't dodge, let's fight!

Facing the defense line of the new army of the protectorate, Gao Jinbao did not rush forward with the cavalry, and then the infantry took up the attacking position. Anyway, I have seen most of the blue-gray city walls from a distance, since I can't get around it, let's kill it!

Yan Shiduo's formation was: the foot soldiers with a shield in one hand and a spear in the other hand were the first phalanx. The bow battalion followed, and the cavalry was divided into two phalanxes on the left and right to echo each other, covering the bow and crossbow battalion while restraining attacks from both flanks. The cavalry battalion was followed by a large number of foot soldiers armed with various blades.

Gao Jinbao's posture was as follows: the cavalry rushed forward in an arc, followed by the bow and crossbow battalion, and then a large number of foot soldiers. His idea was simple and direct, using the speed advantage of the cavalry to break down the ground formation in the shortest time, forming a melee situation, and seeking victory in chaos.

Amid the rumbling drums of war, the Taiping cavalry shouted and launched the first round of charge.

The lineup of the new army to protect the country stood still, and when the enemy rushed into the range of the bow and crossbow, General Yan shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”。

Dense arrows shot up into the sky, whistling and flying towards the galloping cavalry. The knights on the horses screamed and dismounted, and their bodies that fell to the ground and rolled were quickly trampled into pulp by the horses that rushed up after them.

In the phalanx of the Taiping Army's foot soldiers, a childish soldier turned pale, and asked an uncle beside him in a low voice: "Didn't Heavenly Father say that we are heavenly soldiers and generals, and we are invulnerable?" Why are so many people still dead?".

The uncle with the big knife hesitated for a moment and reprimanded: "Nonsense, didn't you see that they were all shot by the bow and crossbow?" It has something to do with knives and guns?! ”。
