Wu Sangui not only led the Qing soldiers into the customs, helped to torture and kill many compatriots, but also hanged Emperor Yongli with a bowstring with his own hands.

The palace of Yanping County issued a reward after Wu Sangui killed Emperor Yongli, if anyone can kill Wu Sangui, in addition to the marquis and worship the general, he will also be rewarded with 10,000 hectares of land and 1,000 taels of gold.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward. Over the years, people have gone one after another to assassinate Wu Sangui in order to reward them, but countless people have gone and never returned, but Wu Sangui is still living a nourishing life.

Chen Bingchang listened to Chen Qiliang's strategy, suppressed the thorns led by Gu Jixuan in the name of righteousness, and arranged their mission to assassinate Zhu Guozhi, as for Wu Sangui, he just took care of it.

Gu Jixuan and others all had a grudge with Zhu Guozhi more or less because of the crying temple case that year, and their relatives were detained in Chen Bingchang's hands, so they really didn't dare to refuse, even if they knew that going to Yunnan was a big fire pit, they had to jump down.

Three days passed quickly, and Wu Qiang calmed down a little, even if he was in a hurry, he had to see someone before talking. Yu Qingyan is going to hold an engagement ceremony with Chen Qiliang, and he will inevitably show up at that time.

Judging from Yu Qingyan's performance that he has been avoiding, Wu Qiang knows that he and her are completely out of play, and now he is desperate to see her, just to ask for an explanation, and by the way, to make a final end to his love in the Qing Dynasty.

Since it was just an engagement, Chen Qiliang chose to handle it in a low-key manner, and told Yu Qingyan that when he got married in the future, he would make the wedding more grand and grand. Yu Qingyan doesn't like red tape, so she naturally wants everything to be simple.

Chen Qiliang, an ordinary congregation, did not notify, but invited the leaders of the two altars here to participate, Wu Qiang and Puguang were also invited, and the venue of the banquet was in the most famous Deyue Tower in Kunshan County.

In fact, even if Wu Qiang didn't receive the invitation, he would come uninvited, and today he had to ask Yu Qingyan to give an explanation.

Deyue Building has a total of three floors, it is the largest hotel in Kunshan County, for this era, it can definitely be regarded as a high-end decoration, the rich businessmen and gentry with status in Kunshan County have the power to hold a banquet here to entertain guests and guests.

Chen Qiliang chartered the entire third floor of Deyue Tower to hold an engagement banquet, the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society seem to be having a bad time, it is estimated that it is difficult to have the opportunity to enter a hotel of this grade on weekdays, and the hall on the third floor is very noisy at the moment.

Under Chen Bingchang's reprimand, everyone reined in and changed to talking and whispering, and the sound of speech in the hall was still buzzing.

Wu Qiang didn't care about any of this, he just hoped that Yu Qingyan would appear as soon as possible, but for some reason, he had a faint miss for Yu Qingyan in his heart.

When the hotel's running hall began to serve food and drinks, Yu Qingyan finally arrived late, accompanied by Zhang, and appeared in the hall.

Yu Qingyan wore a peach-colored cardigan skirt today, and she also wore light makeup, and simply applied some rouge gouache on her pretty face. Although she still wore the woman's hairstyle, it was obviously carefully taken care of, and it should be the result of Zhang's help.

In the eyes of everyone, Yu Qingyan was originally born beautiful, beautiful as a flower, and today after some dressing, she is even more radiant and gorgeous.

Many people's eyes were straight, but Wu Qiang could see a trace of haggard and tiredness from Yu Qingyan's beautiful face, his heart suddenly became sour, tight, and painful, and the original resentment towards her was slowly dissipating.

Chen Qiliang was also amazed by Yu Qingyan's appearance today, and looking at everyone's performance, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Others can only salivate greedily at Yu Qingyan's eyes, and it won't be long before she will become his woman.

Because Chen Bingchang only has Chen Qiliang, a son, who has been spoiled and pampered since he was a child, Chen Qiliang is charming by nature, and he likes to linger in the place where fireworks clear the building, so he is familiar with the affairs of men and women.

Chen Qiliang thought that after a while, this woman would be pressed under him fiercely, tactfully accepting joy, crying and crying, he was excited, and even imagined what posture he should use to conquer her that day.

Fortunately, under the public, Chen Qiliang was still somewhat sensible, took a deep breath in time, and suppressed the thoughts in his heart. If it's a little later, wait until the pants are put up in a tent from the front, and the face will be lost.

Because Yu Qingyan's parents are dead and their relatives are gone, Zhao Fengsheng acted as his mother's family, and he presided over all etiquette such as handing over the three books. As for the steps such as changing Geng's score and passing Wending, they all went through the motions yesterday.

After the matchmaker proposes marriage, if the eight characters of the man and woman are compatible, and there is no conflict, they will exchange the Geng spectrum of the two families with each other as the initial evidence of engagement. The rules of the passage are preludes to the big ceremony, usually on the auspicious day chosen by the man, and the three animals are brought to the woman's house to formally present the letter of appointment. Of course, all this is just a passing motion for Yu Qingyan.

In ancient times, the woman accepted the man's three books, and the spirit of the contract began, in the eyes of others, the woman was considered the man's person, and the husband and wife status of the two had been completed, and the wedding was just a formality.

Wu Qiang had no intention of moving the wine and food in front of him, and he kept staring at Yu Qingyan throughout the whole process, and Yu Qingyan seemed to have a weak heart, except for coming in and glancing at him, he never looked at him again, even if he was about to stare out his eyeballs, it was useless.

finally waited for the whole ceremony to end, and before Wu Qiang could take action, Yu Qingyan claimed to Chen Bingchang that he was unwell, and left the venue early after saying goodbye.

Wu Qiang knew that Yu Qingyan was deliberately avoiding him, so he couldn't care about it anymore, so he got up and chased after him. But as soon as he took a few steps, he was stopped by Tang Feng and Hu Liang and insisted on toasting him.

The alcohol in this era is not high, and two bowls of wine will not make any difference, Wu Qiang is just not used to the taste of rice wine. When he finished drinking and walked out of the hall, he leaned on the window and looked downstairs, just in time to see Yu Qingyan and Zhang getting into a carriage.

Now chased downstairs, and when he got to the street, it is estimated that the carriage that Yu Qingyan was riding in had long since disappeared. Wu Qiang was anxious for a while, and he didn't care whether his actions would be shocking, so he pulled the window and was ready to go down directly.

Puguang pressed Wu Qiang and said seriously: "Hey, there is no grass at the end of the world, you can't really think about it, right?" ”

Wu Qiang said angrily: "Roll the calf, you can't think about it?" I'm going down to chase Miss Yu. ”

Puguang pretended to say suddenly: "Oh, the poor monk forgot that your light body kung fu is already perfect, but you are really a bit ostentatious and conspicuous when you do this, in case you attract the attention of the government, not only will you suffer, but I am afraid that you will also affect others." ”

Although Wu Qiang did not have a good impression of the rabble of the Heaven and Earth Society, he hated the barbaric and brutal Manchu Qing even more, after all, the Heaven and Earth Society had a positive meaning in resisting foreign oppression, and he did not want to cause the Heaven and Earth Society to suffer losses because of his actions.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll go over there and have a look."

No, it's a big deal to change places, Wu Qiang bypassed the hall and turned to another window. This window was behind the Deyue Tower, with its back to a group of common people's houses.

When Wu Qiang pulled the window and was about to make a move, when he saw the situation outside, he couldn't help but gasp, and quickly retracted his head.

It turned out that under the window, there was a back alley, and seven or eight Qing soldiers sat on either side of the wall of the back alley. These Qing soldiers have deliberately concealed their figures, and I don't know how many people are hiding in the shadows.

Wu Qiang is not a fool, on the contrary, his IQ is still very high, it is definitely not a coincidence that the Qing soldiers appear here, he took a look at the other two windows again, and found that there were Qing soldiers hidden in the dark below.

Pu Guang saw Wu Qiang's strange behavior, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Wu Qiang asked angrily: "Didn't you see the Qing soldiers?" ”

Puguang said inexplicably: "What is so strange about seeing officers and soldiers in the county?" ”

"Deyue Tower is surrounded by Qing soldiers, do you think this is a coincidence?" Puguang was so unvigilant that Wu Qiang really doubted how he had survived to where he was today.

Puguang said with luck: "Don't act rashly, in case the officers and soldiers are not aimed at Chen Xiang, if you startle the snake, you will bring us death, then the sin will be great." ”

"Then what do you think is worth so much mobilization of the Qing army?"

Puguang said with some doubts: "Since the officers and soldiers are going to round up Chen Xiang and them, why don't they come up directly to get people?" ”

Wu Qiang pondered for a while and said: "I estimate that there are two points, one is that the Qing soldiers are afraid that the Yuelou is narrow, and if they encounter resistance, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of the troops, and the other is that the Deyuelou is the best hotel in Kunshan County, and there must be official support behind it, so naturally some people don't want the Yuelou to be destroyed." I am afraid that when Chen Xiang's banquet is over and when they walk out of the Deyue Tower, the Qing soldiers will launch an offensive. ”

Puguang said anxiously: "The matter is very important, I will go and inform Lord Chen Xiang, so that they can have a defense." ”

"Wait a minute." Puguang was just about to leave, but was stopped by Wu Qiang, "How can Heaven and Earth trust you as an outsider?" No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, you are Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, you are not a person inside and out, and you will only attract suspicion to yourself for no reason. Anyway, you don't think well of this rabble of the Heaven and Earth Society, what does it matter to you whether they live or die? Leave it to be useful, there will always be a chance for revenge in the future, now before the Qing soldiers have closed the net, let's leave quickly. ”

Puguang hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but pause: "My words Lord Chen Xiang may not listen to, so let's leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible." ”

Without hesitation, Wu Qiang did not choose to take the stairs, for fear that if the Qing soldiers did not play according to the routine, it would be troublesome. The third floor of Deyue Tower is eight or nine meters high, not to mention Puguang, even if Wu Qiang jumps, it is easy to get injured.
