Chapter 59: Reversal

Huzhen Town is only thirty miles away from Longyou County, since the little sister of the Zhou family set off from Jinhua Mansion City, if it were not for the small accident the day before yesterday, I want to be in Longyou County at this moment, or I have already rushed to Quzhou Mansion City by the carriage and horse of the Ming army. It's just that since the accident happened, it was impossible to start over, so she had to go to Yangbu Town first, then go to Huzhen Town, and finally go to Longyou.

As a result, the trip was delayed for a whole day.

In fact, there were ferries in Yangbu Town and Huzhen Town, but as the center of the fierce battle between the Ming and Qing armies had shifted from the eastern part of Quzhou to the central part of Quzhou, there was a certain vacuum in the area east of Lingxi in Longyou County. Especially in the area north of the Qujiang River, there is no city that can be used as a military fortress in the vast area, so the Ming and Qing armies invariably ignored the existence there, but some bandits, bandits and river thieves jumped out at the moment of the defeat of the Qing army, intending to take advantage of this period to have a happy life.

The disturbance on the north bank of the Qujiang River has been transmitted to the south bank under the backdrop of the river bandits' attack on non-military boats, and they have not considered it on the north bank of the Qujiang River, but at this moment even the Qujiang River is not very safe, and the Tongsi Bridge is said to be still being repaired, so they have to go around to Longyou Town on the east bank of Lingxi of the Ming army again, trying to approach the ferry not far from there from the official road that the Ming army used to transport grain and grass by land.

Fortunately, after a day's trek, with this skillful handlebar driving all the way, the pull-back horse did not strike halfway, and finally arrived at Longyou Town on the east coast. However, this is not the destination of the little sister of the Zhou family, time is pressing, she does not plan to stay here, and the coachman came forward to inquire about where there is a ferry boat that is enough to carry them across Lingxi on the section that has just experienced the baptism of war not long ago, but the answer is that the Tongsi Bridge has been repaired, and it is simply outdated to go to Longyou County to take a ferry to cross Lingxi.

Before the scalpers could appear, the spoiler dogs took the lead, and the Zhou family's little sister and her party had to hurriedly go north along Lingxi in order to reach the most critical stop of the trip from there.

It was evening, and the sky was getting darker, but the smoke and candles in the distant village were clearer, and even the brick tower, which was seven or eight feet above them, had always been a signpost.

The village in front is called Qiaoxia Village, named after the most important bridge on Lingxi, Tongsi Bridge, and after passing Tongsi Bridge, it is the east gate of Longyou County. Seeing that the hope of success was in front of him, under the urging of the personal maid, the carriage moved at a faster speed under the handlebar-like control, and soon reached the avenue leading to the Tongsi Bridge, and even saw a group of Ming troops guarding the bridge from a distance.

Tongsi Bridge is the most convenient passage between Longyou County and the east bank of Lingxi, and the Ming army stationed here is also the proper meaning. It's just that before they could get close to the bridgehead, the coachman stopped without authorization, and then said to the little sister of the Zhou family in the carriage: "Miss, the master of the bridge doesn't seem to be quite right. ”

"Something is wrong?"

"Exactly, the villain has seen Wang Shi's cavalry outside the city before, although their weapons are also varied, but there are no sledgehammers and long knives, but there are Wang Shi on the opposite side, and it doesn't seem like the lord's subordinates."

Chen Wen's cavalry division was Qi Jiguang's cavalry battalion, with twelve people in each team, in addition to the captain and firefighters, there were sticks, boring palladium, guns and sticks, and three-eyed guns. As for weapons such as sledgehammers and long knives, if it weren't for the fact that I heard in the city that Mr. Storyteller talked about the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there were many fierce generals who used such blades in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the handlebar style would not have wondered why the Ming army didn't use these big killing weapons to destroy the formation, let alone today's surprise.

It's just that even if they find some clues at this moment, it is too late, and the cavalry wearing the uniforms of the Ming army only observed for a moment while they stopped, and then rushed over led by a military general with armor in armor, and at this moment they arrived closer.

"Little lady Zhou, don't come unharmed!"

The military general who led the team was none other than Ni Liangxu, who chased all the way from Tangxi County. There are only fifty or sixty miles between Tangxi County and Longyou County, although it is far more than twice as far as the little sister of the Zhou family came from Huzhen Town, but they rode horses all the way, and their speed is far faster than that of the carriage that is moving slowly, so there is a situation where they come from behind.

The voice outside the car The little sister of the Zhou family heard it a few days ago, and naturally knew who was blocking her way, as for whether it was a coincidence or a trap, it didn't matter at the moment, since she was stopped by him in Longyou County, which was a hundred miles away from the last time we met, her identity and purpose had obviously been revealed, instead of hiding in the car like a turtle and waiting to be found out, it was better to fight with it in a dignified manner, and maybe there was a chance to turn the tables.

"General Ni is really a believer, and it is really rare to escort the concubine all the way to this dragon tour." As she spoke, the little sister of the Zhou family stepped out of the car, dressed in Confucian costume, standing proudly in front of the fierce and vicious cavalry, without the slightest fear, especially against the backdrop of the maids and coachmen who came with her.

Ordinary men's attire, even if they have makeup on their faces, they can't hide their beautiful and unparalleled faces, and when the soldiers around him were stunned, Ni Liangxu looked at this pretty face, and the first picture that appeared in front of him was the sentence "The concubine's surname is He" with a shallow smile.

This woman is by no means an easy role, the cavalry he led came all the way, if it was just to intercept these three weak existences, it would naturally be easy to capture, but if it encountered the cavalry of the Ming army, I am afraid that there is no possibility of even escaping. Time is running out, and the problem must be solved before the Ming army in the city realizes that they are not the same kind, otherwise it will not be as simple as running for nothing.

But at this moment, I only heard the little sister of the Zhou family speak: "The concubine has two sentences that I want to talk to General Ni in private, I don't know if it's okay?" Seeing that Ni Liangxu was stunned for a moment, the little woman chased after her, "The general is brave and brave, are you still afraid of a little woman who is a concubine?" ”

An unarmed woman is really not worth fearing. Although he knew that it was a radical method, being looked down upon by such a woman still made him feel ashamed as a man. So, I saw Ni Liangxu sigh, and then rode his horse and the woman to the side of the road one after another.

"Little lady Zhou, let's hurry up, Ben Shuai has to hurry back to the city to resume his life."

As soon as these words came out, Ni Liangxu was surprised to see that the woman in front of him actually giggled, as if he didn't hear the meaning behind it at all, but looked at him with a smile in a condescending gaze, even though he was still riding on a horse at the moment, and this woman was just standing on the ground.

Men are inferior to women, this is a tradition since ancient times, men are in a dominant position in life, and women's lives are spent in the unmarried father, married to the husband, and the husband to die from the son, except for special circumstances such as sons-in-law, women are only men's appendages, in such a social environment unless there are class differences, how can this kind of gaze appear.

Is it just because her brother is called Zhou Jingting, and Zhou Jingting is Chen Wen's cronies?!

"It's getting late, and the concubine is still in a hurry to enter the city, I wonder if General Ni plans to accompany the concubine to meet Lin Haibo, or will he be sent here?"

What does that mean?!

This woman was too calm and composed, and there was no pretentiousness in her gestures, which made Ni Liangxu suddenly begin to suspect that there was some threat lurking behind the twilight sunset, so that he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"As far as the concubine knows, General Ni was familiar with Governor Sun in the past, so he is not very happy with the current situation of Governor Sun, right?"

Hearing this, Ni Liangxu immediately realized the intention of the little sister of the Zhou family, and then sneered: "Since Little Lady Zhou knows that Ben Shuai is from the Baitou Army, she should also know that Brother Zhou and the others are inseparable from me, and they won't think that they can rebel against me in this way." ”

"Rebellion?" The little sister of the Zhou family seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and even a lady covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn't care at all about Ni Liangxu's expression that gradually became angry. "The concubine has never thought of plotting against General Ni, but the concubine has been in the boudoir for a long time, but she wants to hear what General Ni thinks of Lin Haibo and Ma Jinbao."

Chen Wen and Ma Jinbao, do you still need to compare?

Whether it was last year, or this year, or even including the past battles of the two, Ma Jinbao didn't even deserve to carry shoes for Chen Wen, this question is nonsense at all. It's just that this idea just came to mind, and Ni Liangxu reacted immediately. "Is Little Lady Zhou threatening me?"

It is indeed a threat, Ma Jinbao's Zhenbiao battalion was almost powerless to fight back when it encountered Chen Wen last year, and often did not even have the ability to parry, but wasn't it the same when they faced Ma Jinbao at the beginning, otherwise how could the huge Jinhua Baitou Army's anti-Qing uprising be quickly suppressed by Ma Jinbao, who moved to the town, and even the commander Yin Can was captured and killed in Dongyang County, and they could only hide in Luochengyan, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Through the medium of Ma Jinbao, the comparison between the combat effectiveness of Chen Wen's army and their rebel army is clear at a glance, and they have not thought about this problem, but Chen Wen's intention to annex is obvious, and they will cooperate with Cao Conglong and Lu Wenlong in order to protect themselves, otherwise which one will have nothing to provoke such a fierce god?

"Maybe General Ni thinks that Cao Conglong's traitor has won, at least the family members of Fucheng and the officers are in hand, so there is no need to worry about Lin Haibo's army. However, General Ni must have also heard that Lin Haibo's troops have never been defeated so far, and such a name will be so easily plotted, do you think this is normal? ”

Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of famous people plotting to death, but there has never been less people who have achieved counter-killing, and they may be able to listen to a fun if they don't care about themselves, but at present, Chen Wenxin has won the elite of the Qing army in Zhejiang, and even surrounded Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, in the city, the process they do not know, but the impression of using trickery since last year is still affecting him, so that the well-known example of the storyteller who has told the story countless times has not dared to refute it.

"Little lady Zhou hopes that Ben Shuai will let you wait, so that she can inform Lin Haibo about Governor Cao?"

"Exactly!"

said bluntly without concealment, I thought that the little sister of the Zhou family would say something like thinking about them, but what he got was such an answer, and this answer was also a bargaining chip that he was going to use to suppress this woman's momentum.

"Little Lady Zhou is frank, but if Ben Shuai kills you, wouldn't it be possible to hide it for a while, isn't it much easier than riding on two walls!" After that, Ni Liangxu's right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and his own soldiers had followed him for many years, knowing that he had already had murderous intentions at this moment, and he would get rid of the unarmed three people as soon as the long sword was unsheathed.

At this time, the little sister of the Zhou family, who was dying, smiled slightly. "What General Ni said is very true, but well, did the general decide that only the concubine came with two domestic servants to report the news?" (To be continued.) )
