Therefore, Ji Qingwen, who knew that there was a festival here, glanced at Qin Xiangzhen with an extremely nervous and worried expression.

Qin Xiangzhen cast an elusive look, and squinted at Zhou Xiuying, the "holy woman" of the White Lotus Sect who had fought one-on-one with him and had the upper hand, and saw that her eyes also showed obvious pleading.

Qin Xiangzhen is a smart person, he saw Zhou Xiuying's thoughts at a glance, and he was indescribably happy, proud and satisfied in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Lord Liu, what did you ask me just now?" I didn't hear clearly! ”

Liu Kongzhao looked dazed and replied, "I didn't ask General Qin any questions." I just think that it is not easy for this girl to be a soldier in the white pole army, and now it seems that she is seriously injured, and she should be comforted and comforted......"

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiangzhen didn't wait for Liu Kongzhao to finish speaking, so he interrupted: "Lord Liu is mistaken, she is not my Shi Yan white pole soldier......

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly reminded: "Miss Qin, you can think about it and then talk about it, why is she not your white pole soldier?" ”

But he heard Qin Xiangzhen smile and said: "Lord Ji, how did this person get to this point, you don't know." Let her hide behind others, she doesn't do it, but she has to find someone to fight alone! This is not? The skills are not as good as others, and in the end they were beaten like this. Our white pole soldiers march and fight, the most important thing is to cooperate and cooperate, but she prefers to be in the limelight, such a person, I don't want white pole soldiers! ”

Hearing this, Ji Qingwen knew that Qin Xiangzhen was joking, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, and said: "Miss Qin taught a lesson, but since this person has been injured, the humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded still needs to be talked about." Why don't you send it to me and teach her a lesson while recuperating from her injuries? ”

After that, Ji Qingwen didn't ask Qin Xiangzhen's consent, so he beckoned two soldiers from the Ming Wu Army and carried Zhou Xiuying down.

Finally perfunctory this crisis, Ji Qingwen was already frightened to the point that his face was discolored, and suddenly remembered that he had proposed to withdraw from Wenzhou City immediately, so he said goodbye to Liu Kongzhao, and then beckoned Yang Zhan, Huang Degong, Meng Hong and others, asking them to immediately gather the army, and then retreat to Wenzhou City.

Just won the battle and captured Wenzhou, but he had to leave the city immediately, which made the soldiers of the Ming Wu army a little incomprehensible. However, after rigorous training, they only had the word "obey" for the orders issued by their superiors, so although they had doubts in their hearts, they did not delay much, so they packed up their weapons, flags, and golden drums, and marched out of the city.

Seeing that the Ming Wu army under his command had withdrawn from the city, they also followed the reorganization of the army and retreated, returning to the camp originally set up outside the city.

After a big war, the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, which caused half of the south of the Ming Dynasty to live in peace, finally subsided.

The soldiers who have fought hard for a long time naturally want to be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. However, counting military merits and getting rewards still need to be counted and summarized, but it can be done immediately after a full meal.

So Ji Qingwen, who was in a good mood, ordered someone to take out countless ingredients and wine, and let the guys in the army cook and cook part-time, so as to light a bonfire, bury the pot and make rice, so that the soldiers under his command could have a delicious meal with their open stomachs.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has had a bad year, and the drought in the north has even spread to the south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice. Although the conditions for serving as a soldier in Jiangnan are much better than those in other places, it is still inevitable that there will be arrears of military salaries, and it is very rare to be able to eat a full meal.

Therefore, when the court officers and soldiers stationed around the Ming Wu Army and the White Pole Soldiers, they heard the staggered cheers in their camp, smelled the fragrance of wine and meat scattered everywhere, and saw the flickering smoke and bonfire, they felt indescribable envy in their hearts, and felt that they were following the wrong person and standing on the wrong team, otherwise they could go to the next door to get a piece of the pie.

It's not that Ji Qingwen is stingy and refuses to invite other officers and soldiers to come over for dinner, it's just that the vegetables, meat, rice and noodles used by his Ming Wu Army were all transported by Zheng Zhilong by sea, and the total amount is not very large, and in addition to eating and drinking today, he also has to ensure that he eats and drinks on the way back. Therefore, in addition to the 1,000 Ming Wu troops in the headquarters, the food and drink of a total of 4,000 white pole soldiers and sergeants of the Jingshi Battalion has been supplied, and it is no longer possible to distribute it to others.

But at the moment, "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, who cares about the frost on the tiles of others", it is good for his own sergeants to eat and drink, where can he care about the life and death of others?

Just when the Ming Wujun was feasting, Ji Qingwen did not have fun with them in the army, but asked someone to make a few slightly more delicate side dishes and accompany Zhou Xiuying to eat in the Chinese army's tent.

After a bumpy ride when going out of the city, and drinking some hot water from Ji Qingwen's straight man, Zhou Xiuying's hands and feet that were pinched by Xu Hongru were finally more flexible, although she still seemed a little weak and stiff, she was able to sit and eat with chopsticks by herself.

She was obviously hungry, and she couldn't care about the saint's shelf, but in the blink of an eye, she ate a few side dishes in front of her, pulled out a few mouthfuls of rice, and then had some bottom in her stomach, and the movement of chopsticks slowly slowed down.

Ji Qingwen saw Zhou Xiuying's gobbling appearance, and joked: "Miss Xiuying, don't worry, those starving ghosts outside won't come in and steal your food." You can eat if you want, if you don't have enough to eat, I'll send someone to bring food in. ”

When Zhou Xiuying heard this, she realized that her eating appearance just now was a little ugly, so she gently put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth and said, "Ji Gongzi, I lost my temper...... Please forgive me......"

Ji Qingwen said: "What is there to forgive for this? Drink when you're thirsty, eat when you're hungry, this is all human nature, and it's a natural thing, so why apologize? ”

Zhou Xiuying heard Ji Qingwen say this, but she was also a thin-skinned girl, and she didn't want to eat and drink anymore.

Fortunately, she had eaten a full meal, so she said, "Ji Gongzi, this is the fourth time that he has captured me...... Childe wants to do what he wants, please speak up......"

Ji Qingwen smiled and shook his head and said, "Miss Xiuying, this is another misunderstanding. This time, you were not caught by me, but Xu Hongru, who made a sin, ordered Miss Xiuying's acupoint for no reason. Otherwise, with Miss Xiuying's ability, it is not appropriate to break out of the encirclement and escape? ”

Zhou Xiuying shook her head in disbelief and said, "Ji Gongzi thinks too highly of me. I know very well how much I am capable of. I also know a little about the combat effectiveness of the musket team under Ji Gongzi. At that time, the muzzles of the guns were all set up on the windows, let alone a big living person, even a fly might not be able to fly out......"

When Ji Qingwen heard Zhou Xiuying praise himself sincerely, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and said, "It's a pity...... It's a pity that Miss Xiuying knew this too late. Otherwise, why would they oppose me and the court and make trouble in the current situation? ”

Zhou Xiuying said faintly: "It's not too late for me to know. At that time, after the Nanjing uprising failed, I persuaded my father to recuperate first, accumulate men and weapons, and then it was not too late to raise troops. Or avoid Ji Gongzi and run to Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, and Shanxi to raise troops. But my father couldn't wait, and he wanted to raise troops here in Fujian. It is said that it is not far from Zhejiang and Nanzhili, and it is a place where great things have been achieved...... Alas! ”

With Zhou Xiuying's sigh, she and Ji Qingwen both fell silent.

After a long time, Ji Qingwen opened his mouth and asked again: "Miss Xiuying, Xu Hongru is this person...... Do you hate him? ”

If it was placed in the past, in the face of such a question, Zhou Xiuying's answer was unusually clear and simple: "Daddy has the grace of nurturing me, I just hate heaven and earth, and I can't hate my father." ”

But there was such a pickled incident at noon today, which suddenly made Xu Hongru's image in Zhou Xiuying's heart complicated, as if it was a huge and inescapable shadow, which shrouded Zhou Xiuying's head.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Xiuying still sighed first and said, "Alas! Let him pass the past, and what are you doing when you bring it up? ”
