Zhu Ping'an looked at the woman in the wooden box curiously, and asked curiously, "Girl, do you plan to stay in it for the rest of your life?" ”

It seemed that she noticed that Zhu Ping'an and the others had no malicious intentions, not to mention, these people were still wearing the uniforms of the Ming Dynasty officials, which made the woman feel a lot more at ease, and after a little hesitation, she got up and climbed out of the wooden box.

Zhu Ping'an naturally stretched out his hand to help, and the woman hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and started it silky, making Zhu Ping'an's heart flutter. In later generations, I have seen many beautiful women, and the woman in front of me can be regarded as the first-class national color that Zhu Ping'an has encountered since he crossed. Especially her posture of not applying powder, but still bright and moving, is indeed infinitely attractive to men.

But Zhu Ping'an's group of people obviously didn't pay attention to this, and even the woman felt this. Although these people were also amazed by their beauty, what attracted them more seemed to be the slowly dozen boxes of jewelry and jade. They pouted their butts one by one, commenting on the gold, silver and jade, and couldn't put it down, as if that was the stunning beauty in their minds. This makes a woman's heart have a feeling of loss, being ignored, this feeling has not been tasted for too long.

The soldiers under his command came to report that all the thieves in the grange had been eliminated, not because of how weak their combat effectiveness was, but because they had too much money on their bodies, and they were a little drunk one by one, so they could only become the souls of Zhu Ping'an's swords.

The soldiers also brought in the roast sheep in the yard, and Zhu Ping'an looked at the subordinates who were salivating and tasting the goods with some disdain, and took out the dagger by himself, cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it. The woman stood a little awkwardly on the side, a little at a loss for a moment.

Perhaps sensing that his eating appearance was a little too ugly, Zhu Ping'an smiled embarrassedly, invited the woman to sit down, cut another piece of meat and handed it to her, "I think you must be hungry, so let's eat some!" ”

The woman frowned and took it, but she didn't know how to speak, she had the intention to refuse, but her stomach was really a little hungry, since she was captured by the thieves, she hid in the wooden box for nearly two hours, and her stomach was empty. So, he covered his face with his sleeves, picked up the barbecue with one bare hand, and chewed it in small bites.

Zhu Ping'an smiled, "The girl doesn't have to be formal. Zhou Mian Zhou's housekeeper will be there immediately! ”

When the woman in the yellow shirt heard this, she hurriedly stood up and thanked Zhu Ping'an. Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, turned around and glanced at Hong Fatzi. Hong Fatzi understood, and immediately shouted and beckoned everyone to carry down a few of the most valuable wooden boxes and hide them. Zhu Ping'an looked at the woman in the yellow shirt again, but the woman in the yellow shirt didn't care about such a thing, after all, Zhu Ping'an saved her life, and she could only pretend not to know about these small actions.

Zhou Mian ran in panting, the night wind outside was already a little chilly, but he was sweating profusely, as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the wooden box, and then saw the woman in the yellow shirt, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. The color on his face was suddenly revealed, and he threw his hand at Zhu Ping'an again and again, "Brother Zhu, what a good means, you have wiped out these chaotic people in less than half an hour!" It's really my pillar of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Sure enough, he was a house slave of a wealthy family, and as soon as the matter was done, his original face was immediately revealed. Zhu Ping'an didn't care, and returned the salute with a smile.

Zhou Mian counted the wooden box, and suddenly his face became a little unnatural, "Brother Zhu, this, this number is not quite right, right?" ”

Zhu Ping'an shrugged his shoulders, "I and my brothers cleaned up the thieves, rushed into the main hall, and found so much, Steward Zhou's words, could it be that we have hidden the property of your mansion?" ”

Zhou Mian's face darkened, and he looked at the soldiers around him who were covered with blood and had a bad face, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

The woman in the yellow shirt got up slowly, walked in front of Zhou Mian, and bowed slightly, "Steward Zhou, after the bandits hijacked our convoy, they divided their troops and transported some of their belongings directly into the camp, saying that they wanted to honor their leader, and this is ......!" ”

Zhou Mian's eyes couldn't help but roll. I don't think the woman in the yellow shirt will deceive herself. This trip to Jiangnan was ordered by Jiading Bo Zhou Kui to be mainly for this woman. As long as she can arrive in the capital safely, her errand will be meritorious, as for those goods, it is nothing more than the filial piety given to Jiadingbo by the gentry officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and the expression that they want to end the path of the national abbot. If you lose it, you will lose it, and you can't ignore your life and cling to these things outside your body.

Originally, Zhou Mian planned to secretly deduct some of it himself, but now, all those valuable things have been robbed by the bandits, and he can only consider himself unlucky.

Zhu Ping'an walked slowly to Zhou Mian's side, and persuaded with a smile: "Steward Zhou doesn't have to mind, as long as the person is fine, this is the greatest luck." Besides, only our brothers are here, when Steward Zhou returns to Beijing, as long as he returns to the truth, saying that he encountered thieves and the goods of the convoy were looted, I can make a corroboration brother! ”

Zhou Mian's eyes lit up, all the slaves who accompanied him were killed by thieves, and only he and this woman in yellow shirts returned to the capital, as long as he confessed to her, Zhu Ping'an could prove it, and the rest of these things could fall into his pocket!

The yellow-shirted woman Bing Xue was smart, and after listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, she immediately nodded at Zhou Kui slightly, "Yuanyuan is all up to Steward Zhou, and he will definitely not say much, please rest assured that Steward Zhou!" ”

Zhou Mian's heart was full of joy, and he yelled at Zhu Ping'an, "In this way, I will obey my brother, but there are still a lot of these goods, and it is only right that our brothers should divide them equally!" ”

After some politeness, Zhu Ping'an "reluctantly" accepted thirty percent of the goods, and the rest belonged to Zhou Mian, which moved Zhou Mian even more, and patted his chest to make friends with Zhu Ping'an.

The woman in the yellow shirt looked at Zhu Ping'an's serious appearance, and thought of the big advantage he took advantage of it, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Ping'an turned to one side, taking advantage of Zhou Mian's inattention, and winked at the woman in the yellow shirt, the woman's face was slightly red, and she immediately lowered her head.

Zhu Ping'an instructed his subordinates to invite Zhou Mian and the woman in the yellow shirt down first, choose two clean rooms to rest, and then send the rough girls on the two granges who escaped from the clutches of the bandits to serve.

When the woman in the yellow shirt was about to go out, she turned around and came back, even Zhou Mian didn't expect it, looking at her back in a daze, not knowing what she was going to do.

The woman in the yellow shirt walked in front of Zhu Ping'an, Ying Ying bowed, "Concubine Chen Yuanyuan, she was saved by Engong, and asked Engong to give her name, after Yuanyuan returned to the capital, it is good to burn incense and pray for Engong every day, and pray for Engong!" ”

"Chen Yuanyuan!" This name exploded in Zhu Ping'an's mind like a thunderbolt. Coming to this era, as a college student, I still know a lot about this history. Real celebrities in history Until now, Zhu Ping'an has met a total of two. One is Zhu Yujian, and the other is Lu Zhenfei.

For Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Yujian is not just his father, as an idealist suspected of suffering from spiritual cleanliness, his beliefs and his persistence have certain historical reasons. As Zhu Ping'an, I admire his persistence, but as a son, Zhu Ping'an feels that family affection does not seem to occupy a very important position in Zhu Yujian's heart. In his heart, "country" is always greater than "home", which seems to be the main characteristic of the emperor's mentality.

As for Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Ping'an, he found that there was still a difference between what he came into contact with and what he had recorded in history. The historical Lu Zhenfei has a straight name and a clear reputation throughout the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but the Lu Zhenfei that Zhu Ping'an came into contact with seems to be ......, how to say it, it seems to be more diverse. Persistent and flexible, courageous, good at accepting advice, etc., and, it seems to be a little cunning.

And Chen Yuanyuan is completely different from them, she rarely appears in the official history, but her name is known to everyone in the world. "Weeping for the six armies are all vegetarian, and rushing to the crown is angry for the red face", Wu Meicun's "Round Song" made a rare touch of poignant brightness appear in the entire tragic history of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ping'an didn't know if Wu Sangui made up his mind to lead the Qing soldiers into the customs because of Chen Yuanyuan, and he didn't know what kind of ending the love between Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan would have. But just as the long river of history has changed its direction because of his appearance of Zhu Ping'an, will the story still run according to the original trajectory?

Looking at Zhu Ping'an in a daze, Zhou Mian couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, Chen Yuanyuan was the woman in Jiadingbo's personal care, and he wanted her to do a big thing next, now, Zhu Ping'an's eyes looking at Chen Yuanyuan were a little wrong, in Zhou Mian's opinion, it was completely an ugly state of a hungry ghost in color.

And Chen Yuanyuan, facing Zhu Ping'an's blazing eyes, his heart throbbed secretly for no reason, although the strong and tall young officer in front of him was not handsome and handsome, but his eyes projected a vicissitudes and wisdom that were extremely inconsistent with his age, which was also this kind of inscrutable and even somewhat contradictory temperament, which made his whole person exude a mysterious charm.

Hong Fatzi on the side saw that things were likely to fall into the cold, hurriedly walked closer, gently poked Zhu Ping'an with his elbow, coughed twice and said: "This is Lord Zhu Ping'an Zhu of the hundred households of Fengyang's high wall guard!" ”

Zhou Mian felt a burst of disdain in his heart, "My lord! A small hundred households, and dare to call themselves adults, is really unbelievable! ”

Chen Yuanyuan nodded gratefully at Hong Fatzi, then tidied up his dress, and bowed to Zhu Ping'an Yingying, "Yuanyuan bows to General Zhu!" ”

Only then did Zhu Ping'an wake up from his state of distraction and said politely.

Zhou Mian snorted coldly from his throat, and then led Chen Yuanyuan down to rest.

Zhu Ping'an suddenly remembered a few key words in the whole thing. "Jiadingbo", "Chen Yuanyuan", and "Beijing" can't help but be shocked.
