However, although the relationship between the three became close, Huang Dingfeng and Li Wencai never took the initiative to recognize Zhu Hongying as the leader. Moreover, Huang Dingfeng's subordinates, as well as Li Wencai and others, vaguely persuaded Zhu Hongying to join them.

In the next few times, Zhu Hongying jokingly mentioned that it was better for the three of them to worship as brothers, and he was the oldest, the eldest brother. Unexpectedly, the two did not answer. At this point, Zhu Hongying finally made up his mind and decided to look for an opportunity to get rid of the two and directly take over their subordinates.

On the third night, before he left for the army, he finally waited for his chance. Huang and Li are both strong people, maintaining the simplicity of the people of Zhuang Township and being very bold. Zhu Hongying invited the two to drink together, and the two agreed without thinking.

That night, when the three of them were drunk, he drove all three of their men out under the pretext that they had confidential military information to discuss.

At this time, Li Wencai was already untidy because of the small amount of alcohol, and Huang Dingfeng was young because of his young age, although he also drank a lot, he still remained sober.

When Huang Dingfeng went out to the thatched house to relieve his hands, Zhu Hongying took the opportunity to pull out a personal dagger and stabbed Li Wencai in the heart, and at the same time covered Li Wencai's mouth to avoid shouting and alarming the outside. Pity the leader of the famous anti-Qing rebel army in history, who died tragically under Zhu Hongying's knife. If Feng Yunshan knew, he would definitely blame himself for this butterfly wing, instigating the breeze of Huang Dingfeng, and making trouble for Li Wencai and Zhu Hongying, who were originally going to bury their heads in development for two years, which would lead to such a thing.

Although Huang Dingfeng drank a lot of wine, his nose was special since he was a child, and before he entered the door, he smelled a smell of blood, and as soon as the night breeze blew, he woke up with alcohol. He quietly summoned one of Zhu Hongying's righteous hall subordinates outside the door and asked him to go in and have a look. As soon as the brother pushed the door, Zhu Hongying, who was waiting by the door, stabbed him in the center, and became a poor substitute for the dead with a scream.

Zhu Hongying saw that he had killed the wrong person, and then pushed the door to see, Huang Dingfeng, who was his target outside, and hurriedly chased after him with a knife, but it was too late, several brothers of the Taiping Holy Army, as Huang Dingfeng's guards, had been waiting outside the door, seeing this scene, he drew his knife and rushed over Huang Dingfeng's own martial arts are not weak. Zhu Hongying hurriedly asked his subordinates to protect himself, and in a blink of an eye, Huang Dingfeng was no longer visible, and saw that Li Wencai's subordinates were also killed with knives, knowing that there was nothing to do, so he could only quickly call the brothers of the Righteous Hall and prepare to escape.

Unexpectedly, Huang Dingfeng had already called for someone to surround them, and told the people of the Gongyi Hall and Li Wencai's subordinates about Zhu Hongying's murder of Li Wencai and himself just now. At the same time, Huang Dingfeng revealed that he was a soldier of the Holy Army sent by the Taiping Holy King, and at the same time told everyone that the Taiping Holy Army had attacked Guangxi and occupied Guilin, Liuzhou and other places, and he was ready to lead the brothers to defect to the Taiping Holy Army, hoping that they would also follow the Holy King to kill the demons.

Li Wencai's subordinates lost their leader, so they were naturally willing to follow Huang Dingfeng. And most of the righteous cousins saw that their cousin was so despicable, plotting against their brothers, and being surrounded by Huang Dingfeng's subordinates, they all expressed their unwillingness to follow Zhu Hongying anymore. They had seen the power of the Taiping Holy Army, and now that they had the opportunity to join the Taiping Holy Army, they hurriedly expressed their willingness to join the Holy Army with the leader of Huang San.

Zhu Hongying didn't expect that this Huang Dingfeng was actually a member of the Taiping Holy Army. Going around and around, starting from outside Nanning City, to Lingshan, and then to Hengzhou, he met all people who had something to do with the Taiping Holy Army. Unexpectedly, this Taiping Holy Soldier has unknowingly infiltrated so much that almost the entire Guangxi has been included in the bag.

However, at this time, Zhu Hongying didn't have time to think of anything else. He took advantage of the opportunity of Huang Dingfeng to recruit Li Wencai's subordinates and the righteous cousins, and took more than 200 diehard members in the righteous hall who were willing to follow him, jumped into the Yujiang River and swam to the other side, shook off the pursuers behind him, and fled to the southwest.

…………

Five or six days later, in Longluowei, Xinning Prefecture, Nanning Prefecture, an anti-Qing rebel army of nearly 1,000 people came here and stationed there.

The leader of this anti-Qing army was Wu Lingyun, who was famous in history, and he was known as the "Long Waist Four" because of his height and waist. Under the cover of winemaking, he secretly contacted anti-Qing people from all walks of life, hoeed the strong and helped the weak, robbed the rich and helped the poor. Historically, Wu Lingyun proclaimed himself king in Taiping Mansion against the Qing Dynasty, called himself "King of Yanling", and established the local government "Yanling State", but he was eventually defeated and died.

Right now, Wu Lingyun is leading this rebel army, and they are still wandering around. Wu Lingyun was not far from the state city of Xinningzhou, and heard that Longluo Wei is the largest polder in the southeast, and there are several big squires and tyrants nearby, and it is located in a remote area, more than 80 miles away from the city of Xinningzhou, and more than 60 miles away from the nearby Zuozhou city, so he wanted to rob the rich and help the poor.

At this time, a team of more than 100 people in rags and hurriedly rushed into Longluowei. It was Zhu Hongying, who escaped from Hengzhou, and the righteous cousin who followed him. Jumping into the Yujiang River, drowning many brothers, and fleeing all the way, some were separated, and finally ran to this remote place two or three hundred miles away, only more than 100 people remained, Zhu Hongying couldn't help but regret it, he knew that he didn't want to fight the idea of Huang and Li, but he also had thousands of subordinates, and he couldn't lay down a new territory anywhere.

Zhu Hongying didn't expect that in such a remote place, there were still anti-Qing rebels, and there were thousands of people, who were jealous and resentful. After the last few blows, he was originally calm, but now he has become impetuous and ruthless. However, seeing that there were rebels in such a remote place, and so many anti-Qing forces, the determination to rebel became even stronger.

Zhu Hongying directly found Wu Lingyun and said that he would lead his brothers to join his righteous army and respect him. This time, Zhu Hongying decided not to act rashly, but to slowly find the right opportunity, of course, it is best to let Wu Lingyun die in the battle with the Qing army, and then he will come forward to avenge it, and take the opportunity to accept a cadre of his subordinates, which is ideal.

Wu Lingyun didn't know that Zhu Hongying was playing his ghost idea, and when he saw that there were more than 100 more brothers, he was naturally very happy, so he ordered the new brothers to still be led by Zhu Hongying.

Zhu Hongying told Wu Lingyun about the situation around Nanning Mansion, and originally wanted to provide information to curry favor with him, and by the way, let Wu Lingyun beware of the Taiping Holy Army in Nanning. Unexpectedly, Wu Lingyun and the others have been wandering around the remote countryside and don't know the situation outside. As soon as he heard that Nanning Mansion was occupied by the Taiping Holy Army, he was immediately overjoyed and wanted to lead the righteous army to take refuge.

Zhu Hongying was in a hurry, hurriedly stopped it, and told Wu Lingyun that the Taiping Holy Army of Nanning Mansion required all the brothers who joined to believe in the so-called Holy Sect, and they also looked down on the Heaven and Earth Society and the local villagers, so they didn't vote.

Wu Lingyun couldn't help but hesitate.

Zhu Hongying hurriedly persuaded Wu Lingyun, saying that the Qing army in Taiping Mansion was weak and had no reinforcements, which was a good opportunity to do great things. Moreover, Taiping Province borders Annam, and if you encounter a strong enemy, you can withdraw to Annam at any time, and nothing goes wrong.

Wu Lingyun couldn't help but persuade, and as soon as he heard that what Zhu Hongying said was reasonable, he decided to lead the righteous army to march to Taiping Mansion.

It's just that he didn't expect that with such a decision, this rebel army would eventually develop and grow in Annan, but it was not led by him.
