In the early morning of 23 October, the Chinese army tent in Gilhanga was still brightly lit. After the report, Lin Shenhe walked into the big tent, where Gilhanga and several generals of the Qing army were still discussing the military situation.

Seeing Lin Shenhe, Gil Hang'a immediately had a spring breeze on his face, "General Lin, it's hard work!" Tonight is another great achievement. ”

Lin Shenhe was very interested, "Lord Futai works hard every day and is a model for us. This victory is also the work of the Futai Lord's strategy, and the garrison of our city is just a little coolie. ”

During the conversation, Gilhanga showed a trace of worry, months of hard work in vain, the wall that was finally built by the knife will be destroyed, whether to continue to build the wall in the future.

Lin Shenhe was very disapproving, "Lord Futai, building a wall is not the goal, destroying the Knife Society by building a wall is the fundamental." In the past few months, we have eliminated a large number of elites of the Knife Society, which has laid the foundation for the victory of the Eradication of the Knife Society. ”

"Then when are we going to destroy the Knife Society?"

"Just for a few days." Lin Shenhe is quite sure.

"Just these days?" The generals of the Qing army, whose tents were full, could not believe their ears.

"Yes, the three 2-pounder Napoleonic cannons ordered from the foreign company will be delivered tomorrow, and the city walls will be blasted the day after tomorrow."

The wind in the field gently blew on Zhou Xiuying's face, and she gradually woke up from her coma.

Am I in the underworld? She slowly opened her eyes, and there was a sky full of stars, and Zhou Xiuying knew that she was still living in this world.

It's good to be alive, Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but think of the demon head who was against her, when Lin Shenhe sealed the big knife with a spear, his face was full of smiles, with evil spirits.

This demon didn't kill me? Zhou Xiuying was a little puzzled, she moved a little, she felt that the situation was fine, her clothes were very neat, and she didn't feel light, there were no extra wounds on her body, and the original wound on her right leg didn't know who to wrap up, but her pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, the one on her left hand was gone.

Why is the bracelet missing? Who helped her bandage her wounds? Zhou Xiuying's head was a little confused. No one will do a good deed to help her bandage her wounds and take away another bracelet! The bracelet was left to her by her deceased mother, and if she didn't have one, it wouldn't be a pair.

Who did this good thing? It can't be the demon head! Zhou Xiuying gently stroked the bandaged wound, the wound was properly bandaged, and her right leg didn't seem to hurt the bone, and she could move slightly.

At this time, footsteps came from the direction of the county seat, and there was a lowered voice, "General, General Zhou!" ”

"I'm here." Zhou Xiuying heard that this was the voice of the pioneer Bao Triumph.

After the elite troops who went out of the city to participate in the attack were blown back to the city by shotguns, the knife society counted the number of people and found that more than 1,000 elites who went out of the city had lost more than one-third, and the female general Zhou Xiuying did not withdraw. When the deputy general Tan Fusheng learned that Zhou Xiuying could not return to the city, he scolded Bao Desheng and asked him to immediately take people out of the city to look for him.

By the time Zhou Xiuying was rescued back to Shanghai, it was almost dawn. The camp where the Qingpu peasant army was stationed was the Hujiang Opera Garden, which was close to the Xiaodongmen, and at this time, Li Shaoxi of the Guangdong Jiaying Gang came to the door.

Because of the heavy losses this night, Liu Lichuan planned to reorganize the people and horses to replenish the main teams. Li Shaoxi used his brain, he wanted to take over Zhou Xiuying's team. Liu Lichuan is Li Shaoxi's Guangdong countryman, and naturally he is not particularly at ease with the musket team, which is dominated by Qingpu farmers.

Li Shaoxi came with Liu Lichuan's will, and the name he used was high-sounding, and the deputy general Tan Fusheng was unable to parry.

There was a coquettish voice in his ears, "I'm not dead yet, you dare to come to the door and rob my people?!" ”

Li Shaoxi was startled, fixed his eyes, it was Zhou Xiuying standing at the door, and hurriedly distinguished, "Sister Zhou, this is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!" ”

"Get out!" Zhou Xiuying, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was too lazy to listen to his ramblings.

Xiao Mu Guiying's character is like fire, and his martial arts are strong, and everyone knows it. Li Shaoxi hurriedly ran away.

Since August and September last year, the Qing army has surrounded the city of Shanghai by land and water. Along the Huangpu River to the Wangjia Wharf, the tail of the boat is the tail, and the flag covers the sky. The exception is outside the Xiaodongmen in Shanghai, where the land and water outside the Xiaodongmen are empty, and only the merchant group volunteers organized by the Concession Road and Wharf Committee guard the land passage into the rental area.

Although the concession claimed to be conservative and neutral, some foreign merchants opened up the joints and used this passage outside the Xiaodong Gate to sell military supplies, and many Shanghai people sold salt and vegetables to make some hard-earned money.

On the morning of that day, Lin Shenye and Fu Baichen rode through the concession in a Western carriage and entered Shanghai City from the small east gate. It wasn't long before the carriage returned the same way.

Lin Shenhe sent the information to his sister early in the morning.

"What? Shenhe Xiuying last week, it won't be hungry! Fu Baichen was very surprised. As a red aristocrat, Lin Shenhe's vision has always been quite high, how could he suddenly become a "female king" of the late Qing Dynasty.

Lin Shenye glared at Bai Chen fiercely, in her coming, this matter was very normal.

This time and space looks good, and it's hard to find a big-footed girl with good character. It's hard for Fukaha to imagine that her sister-in-law would be a small-footed woman who doesn't leave home, or a stick in a breast-baring suit (Korean women in the nineteenth century wore breast-baring clothes), or a dwarf gourd with a white pink face. Lin Shenye thinks that Lin Shenhe's last week Xiuying is a good thing, and as a younger sister, she naturally wants to help.

Zhou Xiuying was tired after returning to the city, she just wiped her body, changed into a clean set of clothes, and was about to find someone to check the wound on her leg, and then fell asleep, so Lin Shenye and Fu Baichen flickered out of the city. Tan Fusheng was not worried that Zhou Xiuying would go alone with an injury, so he asked Bao Desheng and Zhou Xiuying's sister-in-law Zhou Feixia to go together.

Lin Shenye and Fu Baichen sat opposite Zhou Xiuying, Lin Shenye had been smiling faintly since he got into the car, and his big eyes couldn't stop looking at Zhou Xiuying. To the point that she is half a head taller than herself, her figure is well-proportioned, and her appearance is delicate, although her skin is a little dark, but she looks even more heroic, Lin Shenye nodded slightly.

Zhou Xiuying sat in the carriage, a little excited, "Did the bullets from the musket really come?" Didn't you say two days ago that it would be impossible to ship to Shanghai before the end of the month. ”

Fu Baichen smiled, "Don't worry, the bullets of the musket are available sooner or later." ”

"I don't want you to play like this. The bullets haven't arrived yet, so why lie to us? Zhou Xiuying was about to jump up, her right leg was weak and she sat down again, and Zhou Feixia hurriedly supported her.

Fu Baichen clasped his arms in front of his chest, tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Xiuying, "We just found a good excuse, otherwise would you go out of Shanghai City?" This time I came to you, mainly for the wound on your right leg. I heard that you have an injury to your right leg, and if you break your bone, it will be a lifetime thing. ”

Zhou Xiuying's brows suddenly rose, "I was injured at night, you can know, where did your news come from?" ”

Lin Shenye stared at Zhou Xiuying's eyes and smiled indifferently, "We are businessmen, so naturally there are also our people on the Qing army's side." ”

Bao Desheng immediately shouted, "What? You and the demons are in the same group! Bao Desheng took out the dagger from his arms, and just wanted to make a threatening gesture, but the tiger's mouth was numb, and the dagger one foot and seven inches long had already fallen into Fu Baichen's hands.

Fu Baichen snatched the dagger with his right hand, and his left hand quickly slapped Bao Desheng's neck, and Bao Desheng was immediately slapped and fainted on the carriage.

Isn't this how the demon stunned himself last night? Zhou Xiuying's blood rushed to her head at once, "That demon head and you were accomplices last night?" Do you want to send me to the Qing Demon to receive a reward? Zhou Feixia also wanted to do it, she hurriedly grabbed Zhou Feixia's arm and shook it to show that she was not busy doing it, and asked clearly.

Lin Shenye was very calm, "Sister of the Zhou family, you must first believe that our foreign bank has no ill will towards you and your brothers and sisters. The facts of these months can be proven. ”

Zhou Xiuying nodded slightly, Lin Shenye said that it was indeed the truth, his father-killing enemy Ding Guoen was still eliminated with the help of Huafu Foreign Bank.

"Secondly, we are merchants, and we also need to do business in areas controlled by the Qing army, and it is quite normal for a foreign firm to have a few acquaintances on the side of the Qing army."

"So, that demon head was your accomplice last night?!"

Lin Shenye smiled slightly, "I can't say this, I only know that someone is very concerned about your right leg and is afraid that there will be a big problem with your leg." I picked you up today to treat your injured leg. ”

Zhou Xiuying was also a little worried about her right leg, she gently stroked the wound with her hand, "My right leg is fine." The tone was very resolute, but also slightly trembling.

"It's okay, the doctor will have the final say later." Fu Baichen swept the wound bandaged by the military triangular scarf, "Who bandaged your leg, it is quite carefully bandaged." ”

Who did it, Zhou Xiuying herself doesn't know, is it the demon head? She touched her empty left wrist with her right hand, thinking to herself that this guy had also taken away one of her jade bracelets, which was really hateful! She remembered Lin Shenhe's evil smile again, and couldn't help blushing, and stopped talking.

In the health room of Huafu Foreign Bank, Zhou Xiuying was lying on the diagnosis and treatment bed, and Liu Bai helped her clean and treat her wounds, while telling her what she needed to pay attention to.

Liu Bai, a 50-year-old native of Tianjin, was originally a surgeon at the hospital, and he participated in the crossing as a family member of the crossing group, and now works as a doctor in the Huafu Foreign Bank Health Office. His biggest characteristic is that he likes to gossip, is nosy, and talkative.

"Your leg is a penetrating injury, although it didn't hurt the bones, but you also have to rest and treat it well, otherwise the wound will become infected and suppurated, and it will be a big problem. The girl's family fights and kills every day, and if her leg is lame again, it will be even more difficult to find her in-laws. ~~~~~”

Liu Bai chattered a lot, the bald head kept swaying in front of Zhou Xiuying's eyes, Zhou Xiuying barely slept all night, and Liu Bai's broken mouth seemed to be hypnotic. By the time the wound was bandaged, Zhou Xiuying had already fallen asleep.

"She's really okay with her legs, right?" Lin Shenye looked at Zhou Xiuying, who made a small snoring sound from time to time, and asked Liu Bai with great concern, and Zhou Feixia and Bao Desheng were also eager to look at Liu Bai.

"It's okay, it's really okay, if it's treated with us, a week, I guarantee that the wound will heal completely. If she goes back to Shanghai City, it will be difficult to say, if she bumps again, or gets into dirty water, ~~~" Liu Bai began to nag again.

"Stop, stop," Fu Baichen straightened his right hand and blocked Liu Bai's words, "It's okay now, we can't manage so much treatment in the future, no matter how capable you Doctor Liu is, you can't guarantee her immortality." ”

"What you said," Liu Bai was a little unhappy, "I'm worried that there are no good doctors in Shanghai to change her dressing every day." ”

"There are no good doctors in the city right now. The guy in charge of the hospital has thrown himself into the Qing Demon, and now there are only a few Tulangzhong in the city. Bao Desheng hummed, "If it is possible, it is best for our General Zhou to treat his wounds here." ”

Lin Shenye said lightly, "Of course it's no problem to treat us here." ”

While speaking, Zhou Xiuying had already woken up, and when she heard that everyone meant that she wanted her to be treated in a foreign bank, she quickly turned over and sat up, "Thank you for the kindness of Huafu Foreign Bank, I will go back to the city for treatment." ”

"Sister Xiuying, if your leg is lame, how can it be good~~" Zhou Feixia hurriedly persuaded Zhou Xiuying.

"Yes, General Zhou, when you have your legs well, it's not too late to return to the city!" Bao Desheng was also persuaded on the side.

"Say what?" Zhou Xiuying's eyes widened, "There are so many things waiting for me in the city, and there are so many demons outside the city, you actually let me hide here to recuperate." ”

"Papapa~", Fu Baichen slapped his face, "Wonderful!" sacrificed life and forgot death, and he really deserved to be a heroine among women. ”

Lin Shenye glanced at Fu Baichen, "Sister of the Zhou family, you'd better treat it with us, so that there won't be any problems with your legs." ”

Zhou Xiuying was quite resolute, "Sister Lin, thank you for your kindness, please calculate the treatment fee, I will go back to the city." ”

Lin Shenye and Fu Baichen looked at each other, Fu Baichen nodded, and said to Zhou Xiuying: "Okay, come here, we have to discuss the matter of arms specifically." ”

Bullets are Zhou Xiuying's most concerned thing, if the musket has enough bullets, Zhou Xiuying is confident that her musket team is enough to deal with the demon head with an evil face.
