(Seeing the criticism of my brothers, saying that the book dragged on, to be honest, I also thought so.) Here, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the brothers who put forward their opinions, and their opinions have allowed me to continue to grow and move forward. Thank you!

In addition, I also realize this, and the plot has been dragging on lately, so I'm sorry. I have now corrected it, and I have looked at the little manuscript left yesterday, and I am very dissatisfied, so I tear it down and rewrite it, trying to get rid of this procrastination problem.

Please brother overseer, timely advice, thank you! ）

Kou Baimen looked at the high-ranking family in front of him and sighed faintly.

The house is huge, occupying half a block in size, with pink walls and green tiles, and water mills illuminating the doors and walls, which is very elegant.

There are twelve extremely high and wide steps in front of the door, and this foundation alone is equivalent to the height of other people's courtyard walls, a tall three-story gatehouse, the threshold of the gate is knee-high, and the vermilion gate is nailed with copper nails of the size of a bowl mouth.

On the black plaque, the four big characters of 'Wu Yibo's Mansion' are impressive.

The big golden characters were reflected in the sunlight, flashing with brilliant light, like sharp needles, stinging Kou Baimen's eyes.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she let out a long sigh in her heart.

"I, have I finally come here?"

Looking at the huge plaque with the four words of Wu Yibo's Mansion in a daze, her eyes were confused and a little distracted.

She originally thought that she would never, let alone stand under this courtyard, if she would ever be here. In the late autumn of the fiftieth year of Zhengde, she went to see him off. When he saw the light and ingenious oil wall incense car, and saw that he saw her, he was indifferent to his existence and resolutely left.

From that moment on, she knew that she had no chance.

She knew that she and the man. is more caring, and she understands him better, but she may not love him more than her. What he can give him, there is no doubt that he can't compare to that famous lady with good poetry and books.

What am I? It's just a dusty woman?

So from that moment on. She knew she was going to lose him.

But she doesn't have any resentment in her heart, in her opinion, this is fate, and the time is also fate, what can she do about it? What's more, if the life with him is only as first seen, what regrets will there be in this life?

Sun Mansion is also in decline, and I think that Sun Gongzi will not be forced to stay at that time, let alone have the strength to keep himself. When the time comes, he will return to Yingtianfu, and with all these years of savings, it will be enough to redeem himself from the sect. At that time, he returned to the shore of the waves and played the piano. Look at the sunset, and rest of your life!

The girl's feelings in my heart are also depressed! Since you already like such a stunning man, how can you look down on other ordinary people?

This place was originally her rather dead than coming to the door.

But today, she finally came.

She was never a soft-hearted person. Since she was a child, she was sold into slavery in the teaching workshop, and then she had to face all kinds of guests, forced to smile, and the tragic experience since she was a child made her accustomed to seeing the world, and she was definitely not the kind of lady who was raised in the boudoir and didn't know what was going on in the world. Her heart is actually quite hard, and the reason why she was touched by Lian Zining's words at the beginning, since then the love is deep-rooted, and no matter how difficult it is, this man did touch the softest and most sensitive corner of her heart with a gentle sentence.

Facing Sun Fu's kneeling pleading, the chief steward of the Sun Mansion, she could reply indifferently: "The old steward, the rumors of the little girl and Wu Yibo are just rumors, I have only met once, and I haven't said a few words, if he can listen to me, this is still a deception to the child, do you believe it?" Besides, even if I can really talk to Wu Yibo, he is now in the northeast, the north of the capital, but he is not in charge! Will my words work? The little woman will not lose this person. ”…,

With such a gentle sentence, I prevaricated the past, and there was no guilt in my heart.

But when she faced the pleading of the old lady of the Sun Mansion, and the pleading of this old woman who had taken good care of herself since she entered the mansion, regarded her as her own, and even made herself feel a trace of her mother's warmth, she really couldn't be indifferent!

Sun Mansion is indeed about to be forced to death by Wu Yibo's various revenge methods!

Now there is no food in the mansion, even the cabbage gang has been eaten, the smell around the mansion is stinking, there are two servants who really can't stand the hunger and escaped overnight, there is no news, and the next morning, they were thrown into two corpses and returned!

Since then, no one has dared to leave the house again. Even if you starve to death, you can survive for another two days, but if you go out now, you will die immediately!

Nobody cares! No food to eat! The plague is about to rise!

Sun Mansion is now extremely desperate, and even his two students, the little lady and the little young master of Sun Mansion, are all hungry and thin, and they are dying.

The old lady of the Sun family has always been an informed and reasonable person, if she hadn't really fallen into this situation, she wouldn't have forced herself to come here.

And to put it in his heart, Kou Baimen's heart is not without compassion.

So today, after all, she is still standing in front of this big family!

Not long after she came out of Sun's Mansion, she was blocked by several black-clothed men with unkind faces, although there was no life in her hands, she could also see that there was something special in those black-clothed men, which was the word murderous spirit mentioned in the mouth of the novelist and the storyteller.

They want to kill themselves.

Kou Baimen didn't panic, she just said a few words: "I'm Kou Baimen!" ”

It was like seeing the most terrifying thing in the world, and the faces of those men in black changed drastically and dispersed in a hurry.

So now Kou Baimen is standing safely in front of Wu Yibo's Mansion.

For the mansion he hated, he came to ask for the woman who although he had never met, but who seemed to be an enemy of fate. I just hope that she can, raise her noble hand, and spare the lives of those people!

She looked up at the plaque, took a long breath, and walked forward as if she had made up her mind.

Liu Ji had been paying attention to the woman in white standing at the gate of the mansion for a long time. This woman in white has been standing at the door of the mansion for a full time.

Neither speaks nor moves. Just standing quietly, like a stream of autumn water.

Liu Ji is an ordinary subordinate of Wu Yibo's Mansion, and he is only twenty years old this year. But the experience is quite rich.

He was originally not from Wu Yibo's Mansion, but the predecessor of Wuyibo's Mansion, and the subordinate of the Mansion's Commander's Mansion of the Avant-garde Wan Command. When he was ten years old, he was bought by the steward of Wanfu from Renyazi, and since then, he has been spending time in Wanfu. Until that day, the 200,000 troops of the Northern Expedition lost their armor and could not escape. The saint was furious, tens of thousands of fugitives were sent to the northwest to be enslaved, and the high-ranking officials who fled were killed, and their families were all enslaved.

Heaven in the house. It was like it had collapsed in an instant.

The ladies and ladies in the house were all arrested and put into the Teaching Division, and most of the slaves and maids who were a little beautiful were sold, but there were still some left, and Liu Ji was one of them.

Then, they waited for a new master, Wu Yibo Lian Zining, who was in the middle of the day.

But it's okay. After the first few days of worry, their hearts have settled down, the old man is not at home all the year round, the ladies in charge are very kind, and the big steward Mama Lin is also very elegant and solemn. He will not punish others indiscriminately. …,

However, a few days ago, such a peaceful day was broken, and several people disappeared in the mansion one after another, and they didn't know where to go, and they didn't even say anything, but they scared him enough, but it was also a blessing in disguise, and the steward Chen who was in charge of the porter here did not know where to go, and although Liu Ji was not very old, his qualifications were old enough, so he became the steward of the concierge here, and he was also considered the middle level of the house.

But after those few days, it was calm, and there was no more.

In fact, not only him, but also the dozens of people standing at the gate of the mansion all saw her, and they wanted to go up and interrogate, but although this woman didn't say a word, there was an indescribable elegance on her body, just like the snow lotus on the mountain that day.

When he saw the woman in white slowly walking towards the door of the mansion, Liu Ji also walked two steps quickly, and when he got closer, he didn't know the identity of this woman, so he didn't dare to offend, and arched his hand and said, "This girl, I don't know where she came?" ”

Kou Baimen said lightly: "Little woman Kou Baimen, please see the eldest lady!" I also bothered this little brother to pass it on. ”

"Kou Baimen?! Is this Kou Baimen? There was a commotion at the entrance of the house.

Because of that song of life, if it was only as first seen, the story of Lian Zining and Kou Baimen would have been spread all over the world, and it was impossible for everyone in the world to know, but under the roots of this imperial city, there were a lot of people who knew it, especially these people in Wu Yibo's mansion, they had to have a necessary understanding of this matter!

But I didn't expect that today's legendary heroine would appear in front of everyone!

Suddenly, the fire of gossip among these servants was ignited, and everyone was looking this way with their heads tilted, wanting to see what kind of character the woman who made the uncle so tempted and wrote the words and songs that spread all over the world!

They are secretly speculating in their hearts, what will happen to this master who comes to see the eldest lady today?

Showdown with the eldest lady?

Forced palace? Want to enter the house too?

is even more imaginative, and even speculates, is this Kou girl already bad for her uncle's child? Is this to force the eldest lady to include her in the mansion? You know, although the adults now have several wives and concubines, they still have no queens!

All kinds of incredible speculations are here.

Liu Ji was also shocked: "Please wait, girl, the little one will go and pass it on." ”

Honorifics are already used.

With that, he turned around and entered the mansion.

When I arrived at the door of the inner house, I told the maid there that the maid was also very curious, and hurriedly went in to spread the word.

At this time, it was noon, Dai Qinglan was eating with Mrs. Ru, who was very Lian Zining, she and Xiaoqing had a master-servant relationship, and the relationship with Su Su was also very good, plus Kang Ling, several people used breakfast and dinner in their own yards, but lunch was eaten together.

During this time, Qinglan's life was not very easy.

From that day on. She decided that she would never be the little woman who was attached to her husband like a green vine, as his woman, the woman of such an amazing man, since she had received unparalleled glory and envy, she also had to bear those responsibilities.

It's no longer possible to be as carefree as before you got married, reading books. Play the piano, learn to draw, and write. Think of him.

So these days, she sits a lot.

After playing the piano for half an hour every morning, I began to read the military book. He is a general, and in her mind, she naturally has to know the strategy of marching and fighting, even if it is on paper, but he must always understand it. It's not enough to just know, Qinglan has high requirements for herself, and what she requires herself to do is to be proficient and proficient!

After eating at noon, I read history books. …,

She used to see these things. But I only look at those things in history as stories, and now I look at them with other thoughts, but I can see the difference. Looking at it at this time, she saw more. It is the scheming of the ancients, the deep city, the astute response in the face of crisis, and the ruthlessness in the face of threat.

How to win people's hearts, how to make decisions on the spot, and how to cut through the mess quickly. can read one or two in the history books of those few words.

Imperial art, thick black learning, the way of ministers, and the way of powerful ministers are all in her heart.

On the second day, she took people to the camp in Jingnan, and in the presidential palace, there was a sand table left by Lian Zining that day, and she used the sand table to re-interpret the major famous battles in history to re-enact the local terrain, population, city, and the number of troops on both sides at the time of the battle. In a word, it is to reinterpret the original form.

Then, on this basis, it is repeatedly deduced from the perspectives of both sides.

If we deduce from the perspective of the defeated side of this battle in history, we are thinking about how to turn defeat into victory and turn the tide of the war, even if it is in a desperate situation, we are also thinking about how to get out of trouble and escape at the minimum cost. And if it is deduced from the side that won the battle, it is necessary to combine the general situation of the world at that time to see if this victory is better, whether it is better to win all of them and not let them go, or is it better to let go of some defeated soldiers with a small dozen? If you want to win all, how can you let go of no one? If you want to win a small victory, how can you not be seen by the other party about your intentions?

She is not a genius-type general like Lian Zining who has both talent and centuries of era advantages, but diligence can make up for her clumsiness, not to mention, she is still extremely intelligent, far better than ordinary people.

It's just that this deduction, the transfer of hundreds of thousands of people, the replenishment of grain and grass, the migration of the people, the attack and defense of the city, the choice of retreat, whether the road is smooth, and even whether the river is fast or slow, whether the weather is cold or hot, rain, snow, wind and frost, there are thousands of things, everything must be considered, it is indeed extremely mental and physical consumption, and it is only in history that there are often cases of those genius generals who have lost their heads overnight. Dai Qinglan often had to sit in front of the sand table without eating or drinking all day, without saying a word, in order to complete less than thirty percent of the calculation, and every time he wanted to completely deduce a battle, it would take several days!

But the results have been remarkable.

After more than ten days like this, Dai Qinglan has really made great progress, and her heart is already quite hilly. This kind of training has excellent results, although I have not experienced the battlefield, but it is not on paper, such a period of time, pull out to fight, and must be a wise general!

Qinglan had just read the military book for a morning, and she was also tired at this time, so she also took the opportunity to take a break when she was eating, and she was in a very good mood, just talking and laughing.

But a maid knocked on the door and came in to report: "Big lady, Miss Kou Baimen is here, saying that she wants to see you!" ”

"Who's coming?" Before Qinglan could hear clearly, the maid repeated it again, and this time the four girls were quite clear.

Suddenly, the faces of the four people were very exciting.

Kang Su's face instantly became a little strange, he looked at Dai Qinglan, and quickly lowered his head, obviously knowing everything in his heart.

On the contrary, Dai Qinglan didn't react, but the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and her face became a little calm.

Xiaoqing has always had no good impression of Kou Baimen, in her opinion, Miss is the lady that the old man is marrying, and she is also a good match, and she is even suspected of getting married. So what is Kou Baimen? It's just a famous prostitute in Jiangnan?

Before the old man and the young lady got married, they couldn't tell the white door of the Kou. The rumor is boiling, and the young lady has suffered a lot of grievances, others don't know, don't you know? At the beginning, whenever the young lady mentioned the master, she had a happy and worried expression, wasn't she afraid that the master would be robbed by this woman? …,

If it weren't for her, Huan Xi would easily marry and marry. Why are there so many twists and turns?

She was originally so powerful and pungent in nature, that is, she was particularly careless and gentle in front of Lian Zining, and she suddenly said angrily at this moment: "What is she doing here?" Is our house the realm where she can come? ”

Let's talk about it. She stood up, and the jewelry on her body clanged: "I'll go get rid of her!" ”

Kang Ling also stood up and rubbed his hands. Eager to try: "I'll go with you!" ”

She didn't know who Kou Baimen was, but she also knew that this woman was quite ambiguous with Lian Zining, and for her, the woman who snatched her lord was not a good woman!

Qing Lan waved her hand with a calm face: "Forget it, she, I still know a little bit, she is a very measured person, and she will not come to our door when she is free." She is now in the Sun Mansion, presumably for that incident. Come in, let him in! ”

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Quiet in the dense forest.

This is the location in the middle of the two hills, and it is more than 100 meters wide, because it is only thirty or fifty meters deep. But it can't be said to be a valley, it can only be said to be a deep ditch-like existence.

In the Northeast, this type of terrain is very common.

The Northeast is said to be a great plain, but in fact, it is not the same as the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, which are located in the north and south of Shandong, and the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain are all visible at a glance. The vastness is boundless, flat and flat, and it is the real 'flat' plain.

The Great Plains of the Northeast, on the other hand, are higher and are also made up of rolling hills.

The hills are so gentle that you don't even feel much of a slope in them, and you can only see the gentle undulations when you look at them from a distance.

These two hills, and between them, were large forests of the same size, with birch trees and red pines. From the outside, it looks like the forest is black and oppressive, and it seems to be impermeable, but when you go inside, you will find that the gap between the trees inside is quite large, and the inside is very spacious.

And now, in the middle of this wood, it is quite crowded.

Thousands of people are hiding here.

These knights are wearing light leather armor, obviously light cavalry and other types of troops, looking at their faces, noses and small eyes, they are all typical Jurchen faces, obviously Jurchen soldiers. On their backs, they all carried a bow arm that was particularly thick, and they knew that it was a strong bow with great power at a glance, and on their left shoulder was an arrow basket diagonally, which was filled with thick and long hard arrows, but what hung from their waists was not a weapon such as a mace and iron bone commonly used by the Jurchens, but a thick-backed machete.

These Jurchen soldiers were resting next to their war horses at the moment, and their attitudes were very leisurely.

In such a state, being able to be so indifferent and leisurely obviously can only show one thing - they are all well-trained veterans, and they have seen battles, experienced life and death, and have had human blood on their hands, so they can have such a demeanor.

And those war horses, their mouths have been stuffed, and their heads are also caged with bridles, and they can't make any sound, only occasionally shaking their heads, kicking and kicking the huge horses' hooves.

There are thousands of troops, but they do not make any movements, obviously the military discipline is quite good, and from this point of view, it is also an out-and-out elite.

In the center of the procession, more than 100 large trees were cut down, revealing an open space about ten zhang square, and above the clearing, there were hundreds of horsemen.

But they did not rest on their horses, as the soldiers were, but sat upright on their horses, their backs straight.

The number of these cavalry is about 300, and the men and horses are like dragons, very spirited, and they know at a glance that they are very strong and capable of fighting. Their equipment is also quite sophisticated, everyone wears neither leather armor nor iron armor, but the same cotton armor as the Ming Dynasty, but the color is not the common red of the Ming Dynasty, but the sky blue cotton armor, the edge is inlaid with red trim, very powerful. On the chest of their cotton armor, there is a copper mirror the size of a basin, which looks like it is made of fine copper, and it looks dull on the surface, but in fact, the copper mirror is a finger's thickness, but it is quite thick and has amazing defense.

The weapons in the hands of these knights were also not Jurchen maces, but they all held a large red tasseled spear six feet long, with a long saber hanging from their waists and a hard bow on their backs.

Their war horses are also covered with leather armor, which are made of the fur of the whole animal, and have only undergone very simple rough processing, almost the entire body of the horse, so that some war horses are dressed in a huge colorful tiger skin, wearing a tiger's head on their heads, and a tiger tail hanging on their buttocks, only showing two eyes, from a distance, it really looks like riding a giant tiger. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
