When Feng Zicai woke up, he found himself lying on a bed, a bed placed in a big tent, as for where the big tent was, he didn't know, anyway, it didn't look like his own big tent.

He shook his dizzy head, as if remembering something.

Yes, he remembered, he was knocked unconscious by a punch from the man who called him to keep peace, no, it was a punch that made him faint, and then he didn't know anything, and then he found himself lying on this bed.

No, thinking of this, Feng Zicai suddenly exclaimed, is this here? He had a bad idea in his heart, and he didn't dare to confirm it, but he knew very well that it might be true.

"General Feng, you're awake, don't come unharmed, right?" Just as Feng Zicai was thinking wildly, a kind voice suddenly sounded at the door of the big tent.

Feng Zicai raised his head, half tilted his head, and followed the prestige, he saw a person standing at the door of the tent, an acquaintance, he knew this person, this person also knew him, they had a relationship, although it was not much, but it was enough to be engraved in his heart.

Feng Zicai looked at the man, and he didn't say anything, but he lay down and closed his eyes.

"If General Feng doesn't want to see Ben Shuai today, Ben Shuai will come back tomorrow." The people who came didn't mind Feng Zicai's attitude, and still said in an extremely soft voice.

"Dashuai, you are a thousand pounds, how dare you work your master, you don't have to come again in the future, I won't say anything." After Feng Zicai's mouth coldly spit out these few words, he stopped speaking.

Handsome? Yes, it was Zeng Guofan who came.

Since it is Zeng Guofan, then this must be the camp of the Taiping Army, Feng Zicai was taken to the camp of the Taiping Army, which means that he was captured.

Yes, he was finally "invited" to come by Bao Ping'an. Keeping Ping An can be regarded as doing what he says, and he has fulfilled the promise he made to Feng Zicai.

"General Feng, no matter what, we used to be colleagues, care for each other, say hello, gossip, it's also very common, Ben Shuai doesn't want to force the general to do anything, from the original meaning, I don't want the general to do this, because, even if I am in the position of a general, I will be the same as you, take the same attitude, your mind, I understand, I understand, you don't think too much, take care of your injuries, everything will wait until the injury is healed." Zeng Guofan spoke softly, as if he was talking to an old friend who had known him for many years.

After saying this, Zeng Guofan clearly saw Feng Zicai's body trembling, but Feng Zicai did not open his eyes. Zeng Guofan waited for a while, and seeing that Feng Zicai still didn't react, he sighed a little disappointedly, and then left the big tent after saying that you have a good rest.

Feng Zicai slowly opened his eyes again after Zeng Guofan left, he stared at the top of the big tent, and then stretched out his hand to pill his head, in a daze.

Zeng Guofan's words expressed his heart, yes, he can understand himself so well, know himself, in this world, it seems that there is only Zeng Guofan, but unfortunately, he is not his own person. Not only is he not his own. is still a thief who judges the country, can you trust such a person, it is obviously impossible to believe it.

Strictly speaking, Feng Zicai and Zeng Guofan did not have a deep relationship, the only contact was when Feng Zicai escorted grain and grass to the front line, he and Zeng Guofan talked once in the handsome tent of the Qing camp, at that time, his grain and grass were lost, Zeng Guofan wanted to help him, but he did not let Zeng Guofan help, directly refused, he was unwilling to accept favors.

At that time, Zeng Guofan was still the commander of the Qing army, but with the passage of time, everything has become a matter of right and wrong, and Zeng Guofan has now become the commander of the Taiping army. Turn the gun against the Qing Dynasty, to which he once swore allegiance. Creation is really tricky.

Although Zeng Guofan is still Zeng Guofan, the nature has changed, and Feng Zicai only sighs.

For a period of time after that, Feng Zicai was fed with good food and drink, and doctors regularly came to diagnose and treat his injuries, and under this careful care, his illness cured quickly.

And during this period, Zeng Guofan never came again.

Although Feng Zicai was strange, he didn't ask much, whether Zeng Guofan came or not, anyway, it didn't have much to do with him.

But. One thing that upset him was that he was restricted from the tent and that his range of activities was limited to that, and to put it more bluntly, he was kept in captivity.

Feng Zicai didn't know what it was like to be in captivity before. This time he tasted it, and he tasted it all at once.

Of course, the days of captivity are also very boring.

The boring days passed day by day, in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, Feng Zicai was arranged to live in a deep gate house in Xuchang Mansion during this time, I heard that there used to be a big family loyal to the Qing court here, after the defeat of the Qing army, he also fled, and left a huge mansion here, became an ownerless thing, and later, this place was confiscated by the Taiping army.

Life in the depths of the mansion was also boring, he was also strictly forbidden to leave the mansion, but other than that, he was very free, he could do whatever he wanted, eat whatever he wanted, without any restrictions, without restraints.

No wonder people say that a comfortable life makes people decadent, this is really true, Feng Zicai feels that if he has a few more days like this, then he may not have the courage to kill people with a knife again, just look at his hands and know that he is now even the calluses on his hands are slowly fading, if he really stays like this, he is really finished.

But what can he do, he has nothing.

Just when he was living so boringly, one day, Zeng Guofan came.

Feng Zicai eats and uses other people's during this time, of course, he can't be like last time, and then speak coldly to others, and besides, compared to the time when he was just captured, the resentment in his heart has also disappeared a lot, so his temper is much better, at least, the most basic etiquette, he will not be lacking.

Feng Zicai let Zeng Guofan into the mansion and found a place to sit down.

"General Feng, you look good, how is it, the injuries on your body are almost good, right?" Zeng Guofan asked with concern.

"Xie Dashuai cares, it's all right." Feng Zicai is lukewarm and authentic.

People care about him kindly, so he can't always give people a look, and the most basic politeness must also be there, Feng Zicai knows this, so his attitude is much better than before.

"That's good, that's good, I'm here today because I want to talk to you about something." Zeng Guofan smiled.

"What's the matter, please say, marshal." Feng Zicai didn't seem to care very much, mechanically authentic.

"Monk Greenqin and Yixin have led the main force of the Qing army to retreat to Shuntian Mansion, and our Marshal Huang has led the men and horses to capture all the important towns between Hefei and Tianjin, if there is no accident, within three days, Langfang Mansion will be lowered, and then you will have a direct look at Shuntian, the capital of the Qing court, frankly speaking, the Qing court can only survive now." Zeng Guofan said lightly.

His words were not happy, but Feng Zicai was dumbfounded, for Feng Zicai, this is indeed amazing news, God, the Qing Dynasty he is loyal to is about to end, he is about to become a slave of the country, how can he accept this.

If you want him to accept such a fact, it may not be a matter of time and a half, he needs time to digest such a change, of course, it is normal for him to be greatly shocked, and no one will be indifferent to this news, not to mention that the object is a person like him who is loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

"General Feng, I can understand your feelings, but the Qing court will fall, this is inevitable, because the things they do should not be what a ruler should do, in the words of our Marshal Huang, they are going against the tide of history, if such a court is not defeated, then it is called unacceptable, so ah, General Feng, you have to think about your future." Zeng Guofan's words are serious and authentic.

He values Feng Zicai very much, and Huang Xu also values Feng Zicai, which is why Zeng Guofan will deign to be noble, and he has come to communicate with him in person several times.

"Dashuai, don't say it, please don't say it, my brain is very messy now, I want to be quiet, and when I think clearly, I'll tell Dashuai about my decision, okay?" Feng Zicai looked at Zeng Guofan with almost pleading eyes.

The Qing court fell so quickly, this is what Feng Zicai didn't expect, if it is really according to what Zeng Guofan said, the Qing Dynasty will really be over, he Feng Zicai will become a homeless person, the court he is loyal to, the emperor he is loyal to, all of a sudden is gone, his heart has been hollowed out, he doesn't know what to do, what to do, he just feels that he has no strength at all, he doesn't want to do anything, he doesn't want to think about anything.

"Okay, Ben Shuai will give you time, Ben Shuai will wait for you, but within three days, you must give me an answer, because after three days, I must lead the Taiping Army Brigade to meet with Marshal Huang and take the Qing court's capital division Shuntianfu, Ben Shuai has no extra time to spend here, oh, by the way, this army led by Ben Shuai has also conquered Baoding under the leadership of the vanguard officer General Bao Ping'an, and the army will soon join Marshal Huang Langfang Mansion, so I have to rush to join the army." Zeng Guofan left Feng Zicai with a most difficult deadline.

"What?" For Feng Zicai, this is another bad news.

The bad news came one after another, and Feng Zicai was a little numb when he heard it.

The progress of the Taiping Army is also too fast, it has only been more than a month, and the two roads have advanced together, and most of China has been taken into their arms, which is really terrible, too terrible.

Feng Zicai couldn't believe that this was true, but the truth was that he couldn't help but believe it.

He has to make a decision, but this decision is really not easy to make, he has faith, he has pursuit, but now he has to break this faith, this pursuit, is it easy for him, he, yes, he is not easy. (To be continued......)
