It has passed Weifang Station, and it is very smooth, the same as Qingzhou Station. At this time, it was already past four o'clock in the night, and it was the darkest part of the day. Most of the last two cars of gendarmes slept soundly, and only the conscientious Zhou Decai was still holding on, but what he saw was also "Cangzhou Station".

Xiang Xiaoqiang came to this box again. Snails followed.

As soon as Qiu Yu saw the snail, he finally saw his mother's family, and with a pout, tears came down when he landed, and he cried out aggrievedly:

"Uncle Snail......

After so many days of fear and grievances, all of them were released at this time. The snail is really like a kind uncle, comforting her lovingly by Qiu Yu's side, just like comforting her own daughter.

Snail...... Uncle.

Xiang Xiaoqiang stood beside him in a sneer, chewing on the title. Rather depressed.

Qiu Yun listened to the snail say how worried her father was that she missed her, and told herself to cooperate with her uncle and save Qiu Yun...... Qiu Yun is also talking about how much he misses his father these days, how much he wants to go home and rub his father's back and shoulders (although he has never done it once), and how much he wants to go back, and never make his father angry again (although he has always provoked him)......

Qiu Yun is crying here, and Fourteen Gege is also crying over there. Fourteen Gege listened to Qiu Yu unscrupulously telling about the deep love between father and daughter, and he sat weakly against the corner, his chest kept trembling, his cheeks were pale, and the tears in his eyes kept staying.

All this was seen by Xiang Xiaoqiang. Xiang Xiaoqiang gently gestured to Qiu Yu and the snail, and pointed to the fourteen grids in the corner.

There was a sudden silence, and more than a dozen eyes looked into the corner. Fourteen Gege realized, wiped his tears, and regained his arrogant look, looking at them with tears in his eyes.

"Hmph," one girl whispered, "she's still crying, what is there for her to cry about, it's that she brought us in." ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at her, didn't speak, and handed her the copy of "Daqing Daily". A group of girls passed it on, originally they only knew that there was a coup d'état in the Northern Qing Dynasty and wanted to arrest Fourteen Gege, but now they know that this Fourteen Gege has been ruined.

There was a sigh, and the girls, including Qiu Yu, looked at Fourteen Gege's eyes with less disgust. A few even have some sympathy.

Gently waved his hand to Xiao Qiang, and asked them to take Xiao Wu to the next carriage to stay for a while, and he wanted to talk to Fourteen Gege alone.

He naturally said nothing in front of Qiu Yun and the snail, and after two "legendary" rescues, Qiu Qiu's subordinates also admired him very much, coupled with the relationship between him and Qiu Qiu, he has faintly regarded him as a "brother-in-law".

Xiao Wu was a little frightened when she saw that she was going to be taken away from Gege's side, but Xiang Xiaoqiang gave her a very kind look, and she also understood that Xiang Xiaoqiang was probably trying to persuade Gege not to commit suicide, so she glanced at Gege with attachment and followed Qiu Yu and them out.

……

There were only two people left in the luxury box, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege.

Xiang Xiaoqiang squatted in front of Fourteen Gege and sighed:

"Alas...... They're gone, you don't have to hold on, just cry if you want to......"

Fourteen Gege looked indifferently at the floor in front of him and said nothing.

Xiang Xiaoqiang thought about it and said:

"Are you thirsty? You haven't drunk a drop of water since we came up last night...... Wait, I'll pour you a glass. ”

He got up and went to the back of the bar in the luxury box, found the thermos and cup, and poured a cup of hot water. Then I rummaged around for a while, finding a bag of cakes.

"Hey, no matter how big the thing is, you have to eat and drink," he sat on the ground, stuffed the cup into Fourteen Gege's hands, and then opened the cake box, pushed it in front of her, and took a piece of it himself, "Well, don't say it, this taste is really good, your cakes in the Qing Dynasty can be made so delicious, it's about to catch up with our ancestors there...... Well? His grandmother's is still produced in Little Japan! day, I still accidentally ate Japanese goods. ”

He munched on his own words as he peeked at Fourteen's reaction.

Fourteen Gege subconsciously clenched the hot teacup with both hands, looking at the light reflected in the cup. Slowly, my chest was not so violently shaking. She held the cup close to her lips, took a sip, and exhaled, as if she had relaxed a lot.

Xiang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to pick up a piece of cake and handed it to her, and Fourteen Gege also subconsciously took it, put it to his mouth and took a small bite.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was happy in his heart, and this was half the success. The most afraid is that she doesn't eat or drink and pretends to be dead fish, which will be difficult.

Just now, I just whispered to Fourteen Gege and asked her if she would like to go to the Ming Dynasty with her. But when he was about to enter Weifang Station, his subordinates hurriedly called him back.

With fourteen grids together, it will be the Ming Dynasty, which is also Xiang Xiaoqiang's whim, and inspiration suddenly appeared. Tell your subordinates over there, and everyone thinks it's a great idea.

Think about it, just when the Qing Dynasty was condemning the Ming Dynasty internationally, there was a Qing Dynasty who wanted to go to the Ming Dynasty for "political refuge".

Just now, I have sent a report back to Dongchang, saying that Fourteen Gege is on the same train as them, and it is possible to say that she will come to the Ming Dynasty to live in exile, and ask if it succeeds, what does the Ming side say? What status can be given to her, and what treatment can she be given?

The call back from Dongchang came almost immediately, and you could feel the ecstasy between the lines. Call back and ask them to use all their tricks, they must say that they must move fourteen squares, they must come over, and as for the conditions, they will report to them immediately. The message also instructed them to make it best for Fourteen Gege to volunteer, and if she didn't want to get there, they would forcibly take her to the submarine. It means that if you don't move, you will say it slowly, in short, you must get it first.

And so it is. After Shen Rongxuan stared at the telegraph operator and sent a call back, he immediately took Jiang Meilu to the Changping Marquis Mansion to meet the empress. If Fourteen Gege really came over, what treatment and status she would give her was not up to him, the factory governor, or even the government cabinet. Although the Qing Dynasty is called "pseudo" and "pseudo" in writing, in fact, the family is a genuine royal family. To accept this kind of thing from the royal family of other dynasties, Zhu Yourong himself must come forward.

Shen Rongxuan was very satisfied with Xiang Xiaoqiang. At the beginning, I was not wrong, the young man was really a piece of material, I only expected him to rescue twelve crew members, but now he actually brought a big fish.

……

But first they had to get out of the way. This is going according to plan, it depends on whether God gives it a chance, there is nothing to say. Secondly, Fourteen Gege hasn't spoken yet.

"That ......" Xiang Xiaoqiang cautiously didn't have anything to say, "That one is called Miao Cuihua, you really shouldn't have asked someone to shoot her." It's stupid, it's stupid, it's true. If only I ......"

"Miao Cuihua is in the army hospital in Pukou."

Fourteen Gege took a deep breath and said lightly. The voice was hoarse.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was overjoyed in his heart, and when he got the words, he confirmed his guess, and it seemed that Fourteen Gege was not a cold-blooded murderer, and he was relieved.

Fourteen Gege glanced at him and sighed:

"This is my last moment...... Ask whatever you want, no need to beat around the bush...... First of all, military secrets can't tell you. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned. The last moment? What do you mean? Die?

Didn't she even think about the suggestion she just said? And "military secrets can't tell you", and she is still facing the Qing Dynasty?

Xiang Xiao forced himself to calm down, trying to substitute for the current state of mind of the fourteen grids. He asked himself, how would it feel to be a haughty, powerful Gege and county lord, who had always been on the top, and suddenly one day her family was ruined, her father was killed, and she was captured, and all this was betrayed by the dynasty she had been working for? What's the mood?

Although she is Gege and the county lord, she is by no means the kind of greenhouse flower that has been pampered since childhood. Obviously, she has a strong ambition and a strong desire to prove herself by her own skills.

After suffering so much and putting in so much effort, he had just returned to China to get his title, status, and rights, and had just fought hard to create his own piece of the world, when suddenly a catastrophe fell from the sky, and everything was gone.

As the daughter of the "chaotic clan", it is estimated that the lightest will be banned by the Zongren Mansion for life. But she is still the former supreme officer at the sticky pole, this identity is too dangerous, and most of them will not escape death. Even if she died, she probably died with infinite resentment and unwillingness.

Unwilling. She was absolutely unwilling.

……

After closing his eyes and "feeling" this feeling for a while, Xiang Xiaoqiang slowly spoke:

"Gege ......"

"Don't call it that...... I'm nothing now. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"What's the matter, I said you are, you are. Do you think that if the usurping tyrant in Beijing says a word to deprive you of your title, you will be nothing? Are you really going to take that thief seriously? ”

Fourteen Gege was slightly stunned and looked up at him.

"To be honest, I don't take his words seriously. Besides, even if you are deprived, you will be deprived of your county lord number at most, but as long as you are born in the royal family and have the blood of Aixinjue Luo in your body, you are Gege, and no one can change it. ”

Fourteen Gege didn't speak, just stared at him intently, his eyes twitching slightly.

"Speaking of which, what a big thing, just die, die...... I don't know what the hell is your reason for. Because his father, brothers and sisters were caught and killed? Cut, let's be honest, people grow up so big, who doesn't experience the loss of a loved one? Maybe you're saying it's different...... Okay, then I'll tell you a real story. In our Daming, there was a family that entered the robbers at night. The robbers stabbed her father, mother, brother and sister to death, and the youngest daughter was also stabbed many times and sent to the hospital to come back to life. But she was stabbed in the spine and paralyzed from the neck down. And the face is also broken. In other words, not only has she become ugly, but she can only live in bed for the rest of her life. The murderer is still at large. Neither the law nor God helped her out of this grievance in the end...... I'm presumptuous, if you are qualified, I'm afraid I don't know how many times I have sought death...... But guess what about this little girl? Well, she has grown up now, and she is still a famous talented woman in our Ming Dynasty, she writes good calligraphy, how much does a word sell, even our Majesty, there are her characters hanging in the study......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang said as he noticed that Fourteen Gege had already listened to it, with suspicion in his eyes.

He laughed and said:

"You probably wonder how you can write a good handwriting when you are paralyzed. I'll tell you, she's actually writing 'mouthful' good words. The little girl lay on her side on the bed, with a pillow under her neck, and bit the brush with her mouth, and practiced writing like this, and kept going...... Maybe for her, choosing to die should be the easiest and best way to go, right? She didn't. She insisted on surviving, and she lived a better life than others...... This girl is a girl from our Ming Dynasty, her background is not noble at all, she is just a common person. This woman of our Ming Dynasty has a lower status than you and a more miserable situation than you, but she can endure what ordinary people can't tolerate, and she can't ...... Gege, as the princess of the Qing Empire, has the blood of Huang Taiji in your veins, you are nobler, smarter than her, and tougher than her, I think, you won't be unable to pass this threshold, right? I'm going to look down on you. …… Anyway, I've fought you a few times, and I feel like you're still quite strong. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang secretly hoped that she would not be able to hear flaws in this inspirational story from later generations. In fact, it's not outrageous, but he changed the practice of doing FLASH with chopsticks in his mouth and pushing the mouse to practice calligraphy with a brush in his mouth.

Fourteen Gege lowered his head, closed his eyes, rolled his eyes, licked his lips from time to time, and his cheeks were also full of blood, not so pale.

Xiang Xiaoqiang continued:

"Now you suddenly have lost everything and your family is ruined, but you are not at fault at all, this is the fault of the thief who stole the country, or it can be said that it is God's fault. But you have to bear these misfortunes. Everyone has to ask: Why? Not by what. …… It's like playing cards, what do you do when you get a bad hand? Throw it down and don't fight? Most people don't, right? The most ordinary people can do is to laugh and say: "The luck really stinks, and then try their best to play the cards in their hands. Think about it, isn't that the case. Why? I don't say that you also know, although the cards are not good, if you play it will have a chance to win, throw it away and you will lose. …… But why do you have to throw it away when you encounter this kind of 'stinky card' situation in your life? Because playing bad cards in life is much more painful than playing bad cards at the poker table. But as long as you survive and win, when you look back, you will find that it is just a handful of cards. If you continue to fight, you will have a chance to turn the tables, and if you don't fight, you will lose. ”

Fourteen Gege's chest trembled, and he raised his head sharply and said with tears in his eyes:

"How? You tell me how to fight? Now that the Ming and Qing dynasties are about to go to war, I'm a Qing dynasty character, and I'm going to play cards in your Ming Dynasty? …… Also, whose plate do you want me to flip? Turning over Yu Qi's plate or turning Zhu Yourong's plate? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang said:

"I'll tell you, you can flip anyone's plate! As long as you have the ability, as long as you believe that you have the ability! Now there are three ways, either you die, or you let the Qing court capture Beijing, then you still die; The third way, follow me back to the Ming Dynasty, you can survive in the Ming Dynasty, and you can live very comfortably. But I'm going to tell you, you're going to be mentally upset and you're going to be under a lot of stress. You were originally Gege of the Qing Dynasty, and now you are going to be canonized by the empress of the Ming Dynasty as the county lord and princess of the Ming Dynasty, holding the mouth of the Ming Dynasty, and you do not have any power. Needless to say, the Qing Dynasty will definitely desperately pour dirty water on you, saying that you are a 'traitor' or a traitor...... Even in the Ming Dynasty, there will be many people who look down on you, thinking that you are greedy for life and afraid of death. And you used to be in charge of the sticky pole, and you had too much blood on your hands from the Ming Dynasty Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and other brothers...... When you arrived in the Ming Dynasty as a princess, there must be many people who want to rectify you and take revenge on you...... But will you be afraid? I don't think so, right?

"In this life, if you want to make a career, 'endure humiliation' is a compulsory course, and you can't hide from it. All the characters who seem to be glamorous now have taken this course in the first place. Your ancestor Nurhachi, who was the commander of the Ming Dynasty, was also killed by the Ming Dynasty generals to kill his grandfather and father. In order to take revenge for his life, he hugged the enemy's thigh and called Dad...... Don't mind, you grew up in Japan, you must have heard of this paragraph...... But then what? Thirteen pairs of armor raised troops, established the Houjin regime, and seized Liaodong from the mouth of the Great Ming. His son, Huang Taiji, led his troops into the customs, seized half of the Ming Dynasty, and established the Qing Empire...... It's good enough to flip this plate, right? …… And the Guangwu who is now usurping the throne in Beijing, the Twelve Iron Hat King let him kill half of it, and he also offered a reward to capture you, how about it, it's good enough, right? Didn't you say that he endured humiliation before he usurped the throne? Isn't it a man with his tail between his legs? Isn't it a grandson for this and that all day long? The iron hat kings he killed, I dare say that he still called 'uncle' the day before the coup. The emperor who was locked up by him and demoted to the rank of prince of the country, the day before he saw him, he had to lie down and shout 'long live, long live, long live'. …… But they all turned the tables and turned so beautifully. If they can do it, why can't you do it in 14 grids? After all, you're fourteen, and I know you're a capable person. If it weren't for the fact that there was no sticky rod in your hand, you would have become a weak woman, then it wouldn't be you. ”

Fourteen Gege looked at him in a daze, his face red and white. She held her forehead with her left hand, raised the teacup tremblingly with her right hand, swallowed a few sips, and immediately choked and coughed.

She put down the teacup, leaned against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Xiang Xiaoqiang...... You...... Why are you saying these things to me......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang stared at her face and said word by word:

"I'm for myself."

"What ......"

"Because I now say that if you go into exile in the Ming Dynasty, you can make great contributions when you go back, receive big rewards, be glorious and rich, and become an official and a knight."

"You...... Why is it so straightforward......

Xiang Xiaoqiang said:

"There's no need to hide it, you know that. As long as you go to the Ming Dynasty, many people will benefit from you. Not only me, but also the director of Dongchang, Changping Hou, Zhu Yourong...... A lot of people. They give you titles and money, they are all using you to get political benefits from you. But are you afraid that others will take political advantage from you? ”

Fourteen Gege touched his forehead, took a deep breath, and shook his head.

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded and smiled:

"Yes, you're not afraid at all, and if you're afraid, it's not your fourteen grids."

Then he said:

"You have to remember that in this world, the only person who really thinks about you and really treats you well is yourself. Now someone has killed your father, someone has deprived you of your status and power, someone wants to arrest you and kill you, someone wants to take advantage of you, someone wants to punish you and take revenge on you, and someone wants to pour dirty water on you...... Everybody wants to see your jokes, see you unlucky, watch you kill yourself...... At this time, you must be kind to yourself, and you must treat yourself well...... One day, you will live a better life than everyone else, all beautiful. That day is when you succeed in making a comeback. ”

Fourteen Gege leaned against the wall of the carriage, did not say a word, and quietly wept. After a while, she raised her sleeve to wipe her tears, and said softly:

"Xiang Xiaoqiang, after all, you are from the Ming Dynasty, but you came to instigate me, the Manchu Gege, to 'turn the tables' on the land of the Ming Dynasty, why? …… You're a newborn calf, right, and the plate is so easy to turn? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"Now there is going to be a war, and war can bring a lot of variables. What you can't do in a lifetime in peacetime, you can do in a few years in wartime. Anyway, you're not the only one with ambitions in this world...... If you don't have faith, I'll flip this plate with you? Hehe, I hope that one day we will be friends and not enemies......"

Chewing on vague words, Fourteen Gege stared into his eyes, a smile squeezed out of the corners of his mouth, and nodded.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart: I'm tired of my tongue today, and I have to ask Qiu Yu to massage me when I turn around......

……

The carriage door opened, and the stomach ache probe came in, please come to Xiaoqiang.

When Xiang Xiaoqiang came back, he held a piece of writing paper in his hand and said with a smile:

"Can I call you Her Royal Highness?"

Fourteen Gege shuddered and looked up at him like a frightened rabbit. Xiang Xiaoqiang handed the paper to her. Fourteen Gege knew that after taking this piece of paper, he would no longer be the Gege of the Qing Dynasty. Soon, the infamy will roll in, and he will be charged with "full of adultery......

But what if you don't? Then there is no "but"......

She took the telegram with a shudder, and muttered:

"Canonize the princess of Liaoyang...... Annuity 700,000 Mingyang...... You can keep the title of 'Gege'...... There can be guards...... Privileged not to be interviewed by anyone...... You can choose your place of residence at will, and you can leave the country at will...... All the standards of living and etiquette, like the princess of Daming......"

As soon as she raised her head, she held another piece of paper in both hands to Xiaoqiang, and smiled respectfully:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is for you by Your Majesty."

There is only one sentence on paper:

"Welcome to my house and waiting for you to play tennis together.

- Zhu Yourong
