When Cheng Lingxiu woke up, it was already the middle of the night, and Li Ding, who saved her, had been guarding the side, and when she saw Cheng Lingxiu waking up, Li Ding hurriedly stepped forward to look. Cheng Lingxiu was stabbed in the shoulder, he fainted after excessive blood loss and mental stimulation, and after bandaging to stop bleeding and falling asleep for several hours, Cheng Lingxiu woke up leisurely.

Seeing that although Cheng Lingxiu was still a little weak, there was no danger to her life, Li Ding brought a bowl of red jujube water to her and said, "The wound on your shoulder has been stitched up, this jujube water replenishes qi and blood, you drink more." ”

Cheng Lingxiu learned medical skills and knew the benefits of jujube water, so he took it and drank it immediately. This Li Ding is a person who he and his grandfather saved when they traveled in Tianjin ten months ago, when he suffered a serious knife wound, Cheng Tieqiao saw that Li Ding's clothes were ragged and the way was not right, he didn't plan to treat it, but he couldn't stand Cheng Lingxiu's pleading, and finally the grandparents and grandchildren joined forces to save Li Ding, but he didn't expect that it would be Li Ding who saved himself now.

After drinking the jujube water, Cheng Lingxiu had a little energy, leaning on the bed and remembering the tragic death of his grandfather, he couldn't help but cry silently. Li Ding saw her crying silently, knowing the life experience of this little girl, she was brought up by her grandfather since she was a child, the children of the poor are always sensible and early, and they have a soft temper on the outside and strong on the inside, and they bear whatever sadness they have, after she was injured and rescued by her, it is not uncommon for her to raise the bar with her grandfather, but every time it is Cheng Lingxiu who persuades her grandfather to hide a needle. At that moment, Li Ding sighed lightly and said, "Do you know who wants to harm you? ”

Cheng Lingxiu sobbed a few times, took a deep breath and slowly told what had happened, she only said that it was a thug from a big family who was looking for a mouthful.

Li Ding shook his head, took out five bronze medals from his arms and put them on the side of the bed and said: "Those people are not market thugs, there are eight of them, six of them are guarding the alley outside your house to watch the wind, two people who enter the house to commit murder, and eight of them are all practicing family members." And it is also the sticky pole guard in the spare place of Shang Yu in the palace, that is, the blood drops of folklore. ”

Cheng Lingxiu was shocked, and pondered for a while: "Brother Li, do you mean that the big family is a relative of the emperor?" ”

Li Ding nodded and said: "The lame emperor is in Chengde today, and there are many imperial relatives and relatives who come with him, maybe the patient your grandfather is Xianfeng himself." ”

Cheng Lingxiu's mind was a little confused, and then he thought that although Li Ding in front of him was saved by himself, he didn't know what he was doing, why did he appear at his house? And he was able to save himself from the palace guards, which shows that he is not a simple person, and he is disrespectful when he mentions Emperor Xianfeng. It can be seen that he may be the long-haired rebel army in the south. Cheng Lingxiu raised his eyes and looked at Li Ding and said, "Brother Li, you saved my little sister, I am very grateful." ”

Li Ding smiled and said: "The world is one family, and you have also saved me." ”

Cheng Lingxiu wiped her tears and said, "Brother Li, can you tell me the truth?" Are you the Taiping Army in the south? ”

Li Ding was slightly stunned. Then he smiled and said, "You are very smart, we are indeed the Taiping army in the south." Specializes in killing demons. Your grandfather died at the hands of the Pure Demon Eagle Claw. Now you can't go back, why don't you join us? ”

Cheng Lingxiu nodded resolutely and said: "Thank you Brother Li for trusting and telling the truth, the little sister is no longer allowed in the official mansion now, so she naturally follows the eldest brother, and the little sister also wants to find out the truth about the cause of her grandfather's death, and avenge her grandfather with her enemies." ”

Li Ding bowed slightly. At this time, the door was pushed, and a woman came in, dressed as an ordinary person, and the woman was only in her twenties. Coarse cloth Jing Hai, looking ordinary, but between her eyebrows is very kind, she took a plate, stepped forward and asked, "Is the Cheng sister-in-law awake?" Li Ding, you go out first, I'll change her dressing. Li Ding retreated as he said.

The woman walked to the side of the bed and said softly: "Sister Cheng, you are also a person who was killed by the government, you can live here with peace of mind, it is very safe here." My name is Liu Yi, thank you for saving Li Ding last time. ”

Cheng Lingxiu smiled lightly, and Liu Yi changed her clothes, and then said, "Your brother Li told you our identity." Cheng Lingxiu hummed softly, and Liu Yi kept saying in his hand: "Are you going to join us?" Cheng Lingxiu nodded heavily, his eyes full of determination.

Liu Yi said: "You can think about it, joining us may kill you at any time." ”

Cheng Lingxiu smiled miserably and said: "If you hadn't saved my little sister, my little sister would have been a dead person by now, and my grandfather would be gone, so what else is there to be afraid of?" ”

Liu Yi snorted, and after changing the medicine for a while, he said slowly: "Okay, you can recuperate your injuries first, and I will teach you some things after the injury is healed, but in the future, you don't use your real name in front of people, and in the future, you will be called Cheng Xin, the word Xin in the heavenly stem, do you know?" ”

Cheng Lingxiu hummed and said, "It turns out that Brother Li and you are both using fake names. ”

Liu Yi smiled and nodded: "You are very smart, we Bai Zetang need smart people." ”

In addition to the house, Li Ding saw an old man sitting on the stone steps in the courtyard smoking a hookah, so he stepped forward and said, "Helmsman, Miss Cheng has promised to stay." ”

The old man's name is Zhao Jia, and he is the helmsman of Bai Zetang's Zhili rudder, he hummed and said: "Last time, I went to thirty-three people to assassinate Yiren, and only one of you came back, if it wasn't for this little girl to save you, you would have gone to heaven to see God, we know that it is good to repay your kindness, but today is too dangerous, the Qing demon in Shangyu's spare place is extremely powerful here, not much safer than the capital, don't act impulsively next time, you must focus on the overall situation, our Zhili rudder has few people, and we can no longer afford losses." ”

Li Ding nodded and said: "I didn't expect this girl to live in the same alley as our rudder, and today is also a coincidence, the little brother didn't hold back before he came to the rescue." ”

Zhao Jia waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I saw the eagle dog come to our alley before, and said that we would hide and expose it, but I didn't expect them to go to the Cheng family, what do you say is the Qing Demon want to deal with a pair of lonely grandchildren like this?" ”

Li Ding told Cheng Lingxiu what he knew, and then said: "The younger brother thinks that the man in his twenties saved by Cheng Tieqiao is definitely not simple, and I heard that the dog emperor often comes out to pay private visits, helmsman, do you think that the patient is Xianfeng?" ”

Zhao Jia frowned and said: "What we inquire about must be confirmed and confirmed news, not guessed news, but if that person is really Xianfeng, according to Cheng Tieqiao, Xianfeng will not survive tonight, and the Qing demon will definitely be mourned in a few days, and the truth will be known in a few days." ”

Li Ding said excitedly: "Xianfeng, the Qing Demon Dog Emperor, is finally dead, and our Heavenly Kingdom will be victorious!" ”

Zhao Jia snorted and said: "Don't be too happy, Emperor Xianfeng Dog is dead, and the Qing Demon will set up another emperor, what the old man of the West King said is not the life and death of the emperor, but when the soldiers and horses of the Qing Demon will be destroyed, only in this way can it be regarded as a comprehensive victory." ”

Li Ding was a little excited, and Zhao Jia said: "Don't be depressed, the Xianfeng Dog Emperor is dead, and the Qing Demon will definitely panic for a while, which is also beneficial to us, once the news is confirmed, we must first send this important news back, so that His Royal Highness the King of the West can plan for a big event." ”

Li Ding nodded in response, Zhao Jia extinguished the cigarette pouch and got up and said: "Killing eight sticky guards today will definitely alarm Shang Yu's spare place, Zhang Yin was injured again, let's act separately and have a smaller target, you and Liu Yi will continue to pretend to be a couple here to take care of Miss Cheng, I and the others will disperse with Zhang Yin, and if there is something to be signaled according to the old rules, don't go out if you have nothing to do!" ”

After Li Ding responded, Zhao Jia turned around and was about to leave, Li Ding said again: "Helmsman, you haven't ...... about Miss Cheng joining us" Zhao Jia didn't look back, only said: "Wait until she is injured, she has excellent medical skills, and it is wasted in a place like ours between life and death struggles in the morning and evening, and it is best to send it back to the rear, the General Rescue Hall needs such a talent, where she can give full play to her greatest strengths, instead of working hard like us." The voice fell, and the man had already left.

Li Ding muttered a little disappointed: "Miss Cheng is going to be sent back to Shanghai?" It's okay, she's a teenage woman shouldn't take risks, it's true to live well. ”

A few days later, sure enough, the Qing court in Chengde began to mourn, and the emperor's death was an earth-shattering event, and the white cloth in Chengde was out of stock for a while.

Bai Zetang's side is really as Zhao Jia said, after Shang Yu's spare place lost eight sticky guards, he began to raise the city, and at the same time, because of the emperor's death, the entire Chengde and outside were blocked by heavy troops.

After getting the tangible news, Zhao Jia released carrier pigeons to inform the people in Tianjin, and the people of Tianjin Bai Zetang got the news and sent the news to the next station. Bai Zetang's carrier pigeons at more than a dozen rudder and contact points in Jiangbei were moved, and two days later, the news of Xianfeng's death was transmitted back to the Xiaolingwei camp on the outskirts of Tianjing.

The Xiaolingwei camp immediately sent a fast horse to bring the news to the king of the west who was in Chunhua, and Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er exclaimed together after hearing the news. After the two glanced at each other, Xiao Yungui took the letter brought by the messenger and waved it back, hurriedly read the letter, and handed the letter to Hong Yun'er, and said: "I didn't expect Xianfeng to die in advance, but Chengde Xing is tightly sealed with news, and I don't know what the situation is in the Qing court." ”

Hong Yun'er hurriedly read the letter and said: "The letter mentioned that Concubine Yi and Su Shun have both arrived in Chengde, and I guess that Xianfeng will appoint eight ministers to Gu Ming before his death, and at the same time give the two palaces the right to participate in politics." ”

Xiao Yungui paced back and forth on the dirt slope with his hands in his hands and said: "I'm wondering if to make some trouble for our old classmates, you must know that in history, Cixi united with the devil Ziliu to carry out the Xinyou coup d'état, and after the defeat of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had the so-called Tongzhi Zhongxing, not to mention that now this Cixi is very likely to be a traverser, and her danger factor is too great." ”

Hong Yun'er frowned and said, "I found that you are always planning conspiracies whenever you hear something now. ”

Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "Using conspiracy to deal with the enemy is the way to protect yourself." (To be continued......)
