Just when I was confused, Zhang Zhao, the leader of the Eighteen Cavalry of Guanning, shouted loudly: "Senior brother, senior brother!" ”

The short young man looked at him and froze.

"It's me!" Zhang Zhao patted his chest.

"Senior brother, you're here." The short young man said excitedly and ran towards us.

"Imperial ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhao covered his mouth, looked at me, and gave him a look.

Then Zhang Zhao said to me: "The emperor doesn't have to panic, let's go back to the boat first and then talk about it in detail." ”

Hearing this, the stone hanging in my heart fell halfway, it seems that this short young man should be in the same group as Zhang Zhao.

When he arrived at the boat, the short young man put down the copper hammer, knelt on the ground and said: "Wusong scholar Xia Wanchun knocked to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Xia Wanchun? I heard him right, it's him!

I remember that my high school Chinese teacher talked about him, saying that he was a hero of the anti-Qing Dynasty in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and he hung up at the age of sixteen.

At that time, the Chinese teacher also asked us to recite the poem he wrote, which seemed to be called "Farewell to the Clouds", which was probably about resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately I didn't study seriously at the time, buddy, and I didn't remember it at all.

I thought this guy was just a scholar, but I didn't expect to see him today, and he would have such good martial arts.

"Xiao Xia, please get up quickly." I said with a smile.

"Emperor Xie!"

"I have long heard that Xiao Xia is only eight years old, but I didn't expect that there is such a martial art, and it is a talent like you that Daming Xingfu wants!" Seeing that he was a child, I was not so solemn when I spoke.

"The emperor has won the award. If there is chaos today, Confucius and Mencius scholars should have put pen to paper. ”

With that, we entered the cabin, and then Zhang Zhao introduced his relationship with Xiao Xia.

It turned out that Zhang Zhao and him, as well as the scholar who had just died, were brothers in the same sect.

Zhang Zhao is good at archery and horse riding, and Xiao Xia is born with divine power, a pair of eighty-kilogram copper hammers, and he plays well.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Zhaolu saw injustice and killed a corrupt official, in order to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court, he was exiled to the outside of the pass, and finally became Wu Sangui's general; Xia Wanchun, on the other hand, was studying while practicing martial arts in Shanghai.

"The last general knew that his junior brother was in Wusong, so he flew a pigeon in advance and sent him a book, wanting him to protect the emperor, so he ......" Zhang Zhao said.

"This thing is done well, and when I get to Nanjing, I will make you the commander of the forbidden army." As I spoke, I patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty, let me escort you to Nanjing!" Xia Wanchun said excitedly.

I was glad he said that, on the one hand, I really needed someone to protect me; On the other hand, there are not many loyal and patriotic masters like him, although he is young, but I can use it as Li Yuanba, when Li Zicheng is in the Northern Expedition and fights Dorgon, he is definitely a nuclear weapon in the army.

"Okay, I'll escort you!"

Hearing this, the little guy jumped up happily, and he was really cute like that Li Yuanba.

After being happy for a while, this guy asked me about Wu Sangui, and I explained to him that Wu Sangui was just pretending to surrender to Li Zicheng, but in fact it was to drag Li Zicheng and help me resist the Qing soldiers.

I explained it very clearly, but he frowned and asked puzzledly: "In that case, why did the emperor still kill Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang and his entire family?" ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and Shuang'er was even more surprised, you must know that Wu Xiang is her father-in-law.

"How is it possible, no matter how stupid I am, it is impossible for me to kill Wu Xiang, and I also sent someone to escort his whole family to Nanjing."

"Uh...... I also heard from the people of Wusong, maybe it was a rumor! ”

Hearing him say this, my nervous heart finally calmed down.

You must know that Wu Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan are two important weights for me to stabilize Wu Sangui, if he dies, Wu Sangui may defect to me at any time, and then the war situation between the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Li Zicheng will not go according to my established plan.

"Okay, I'm tired, you guys go and rest!"

After saying that, I took Shuang'er back to the cabin and comforted her that Wu Xiang would be fine, so that she could rest assured.

Comforting the good frost, I had nothing to do, I took out the "Xuanhua Sutra" again and looked at it, but I still didn't see anything special, so I was ready to throw it away.

Just as I was about to throw myself into the sea, I happened to meet Wang Chengen and casually asked him where he found the scriptures.

He said that he searched all the places where the books were stored but could not find them, and that he found them under the jade seal box when he fled to get them.

When I heard this, I felt that this book might not be ordinary, otherwise it would not have been placed under the jade seal, so I put it away again, thinking that maybe I would use it one day.

……

After leaving Wusong, the sailboat went north along the Yangtze River, the scenery along the way was beautiful, the people were rich, and there was no misery in the north at all. It seems that what netizens said about reviving the Ming Dynasty based on Jiangnan is not empty talk.

When the boat arrived in Suzhou, everyone felt safe, so they stopped the boat and anchored.

Wang Chengen sent people to contact the local officials, preparing for the officials to receive us and send us down to Nanjing.

Unexpectedly, the people sent out did not come back for a long time, so we had to temporarily find an inn to stay.

Lying on the bed in the inn, I couldn't help but think that my girlfriend used to tell me what "there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below", and I had to ask me to take her on a trip, but I am a dick How can I be rich, so my girlfriend also quarreled with me a lot.

I didn't expect that I traveled to the Ming Dynasty and really arrived in Suzhou, if I didn't go shopping, I would be really sorry for myself.

So Shuang'er and I took Zhang Zhao and Xia Wanchun and went to the banks of the Qinhuai River for a stroll.

I have to say that this ancient Suzhou is really too prosperous, and it has exploded in Dali and Lijiang.

There are many restaurants on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and the frost who is still reserved in the palace has completely become a foodie to the people.

Dude, I have to take it, and it seems that women's hobbies have not changed throughout the ages.

"Senior brother, it is said that Suzhou beauties are like clouds, why haven't we met?" Xiao Xia asked childishly.

"You kid protect the emperor well, don't think about those warblers and swallows, those singers are all in the wine shop, when the world is too peaceful, I will take you to have a good time, as for now, ......" Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Zhao didn't want to take Xiao Xia to visit the kiln, but I was very interested.

I remember that when I was in junior high school, I learned an ancient poem, which seemed to be written about the Qinhuai singer, and the content was like this: The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.

At that time, I wanted to listen to Chen Yuanyuan sing "Yushu Backyard Flower" in the palace, but she sang "Man Jianghong" to me.

Now that my buddy has arrived in Suzhou, if you don't listen to this beautiful song, how can you be worthy of yourself.

So I said: "Zhang Zhao, you don't have to criticize Xiao Xia, I am also the first time to Suzhou, and I also want to see how the common people live, and I might as well go to the wine shop for a cup of tea!" ”

"What the emperor said is that the last general will go to the wine store." Zhang Zhao said.

"You don't have to look for it, just the one in front." With that, I walked into a wine shop called "Fengyue Building".

Originally, I thought that this wine shop was the same as its name, a place to listen to fireworks and listen to glamorous songs, but when I went in, I found that it was selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it was full of a bunch of old men who bragged about salted eggs, and there were no singers at all.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the big man at the next table say: "King Nafu came to Suzhou last month, and the pomp and circumstance were really too big, and he played all the brothels across the river. ”

"Isn't it, I heard that I took a few courtesans with me."

"Oh, compared to Chongzhen, this blessed king is really too ...... It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen is dead! ”

"You be quiet, you can't talk nonsense, there is Jinyiwei!"

Everyone sighed, and they missed Chongzhen infinitely.

Although I don't know the history of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know what bullshit Fu Wang is, but I remember that the Jinyiwei system seems to have been canceled before Chongzhen came to power, why is there still Jinyiwei in Suzhou?

But I didn't take the words of these big men to heart, and left after two cups of tea at the wine shop.

When I returned to the inn, I went to find Chen Yuanyuan and prepared to give her the hairpin I had just bought on the street.

As a result, there was no one in her room, so I panicked instantly and ran to ask Wang Chengen what was going on.

Wang Chengen replied: "Your Majesty, just now a scholar said that he wanted to see Chen Yuanyuan, so the servant let her out. ”

I grass! What is the rhythm of this?

Is it possible that Chen Yuanyuan still has a good relationship in Suzhou? Isn't that Lao Tzu another rival in love.

"And where did she go with that scholar?" I asked anxiously.

"It looks like going to the garden behind the inn!"

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, how can you let her go with people casually?"

"Your Majesty, she's just a dust geisha, and I'm ...... old slave."

I was speechless, I didn't need to listen to what Wang Chengen was going to say. Like everyone else, he looked down on Chen Yuanyuan, thinking that Chen Yuanyuan was just a geisha, and it was not worth my worries about her.

But he didn't know how important Chen Yuanyuan was to me, and if it weren't for Chen Yuanyuan, I wouldn't have made up my mind to recover the Ming Dynasty.

Without waiting for Wang Chengen to finish speaking, I ran downstairs to the garden.

As soon as I ran outside the garden, I heard Chen Yuanyuan say categorically: "I can't go with you!" ”
