Early the next morning, the sky was clear, Hong Xuanjiao got up early, although there was still some swelling pain in the calf, but it was no longer in the way.

Hu Jiumei still came uninvited, saying that she came to visit Hong Xuanjiao's injury early in the morning, and told the situation of the women's camp by the way.

Since she knew that Hu Jiumei was working for Dongwang again, Hong Xuanjiao was obviously much colder to her, but she didn't seem surprised by Hu Jiumei's arrival, eating the noodles from Yao Yuan, Hong Xuanjiao said lightly: "Sit down and talk, Brother Yao, I have something to say to Hu Lushuai, you go down first." ”

Yao Yuan responded, and asked with a smile: "Hu Lushuai, do you want to eat some noodles?" I'll get you some. ”

Hong Xuanjiao ate by herself, and she didn't say anything, Hu Jiumei knew that she was still annoyed with herself, so she smiled and said, "No need, I ate when I came, you can get busy." Saying that, he sat down, Yao Yuan only felt that the atmosphere between the two women was embarrassing, and hurriedly closed the door and retreated.

Looking around, many of the furniture and pillars in the house were covered with knife marks, and Hu Jiumei asked with a sigh: "Xiwang Niang, did you have another fight with Xiwang last night?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao took out the embroidered towel and wiped her lips, and said lightly: "I didn't kill him to disappoint you." ”

Hu Jiumei smiled dumbly and said: "Look at what you said to Queen Xi, the little sister doesn't have the heart and guts, the little sister does everything according to the instructions of the East King, and she doesn't dare to have any bad intentions." ”

Hong Xuanjiao snorted and continued to bury her head in eating noodles. Hu Jiumei stood up, quietly walked to a mahogany pillar, looked at the deep knife marks on it and said, "I can see that Xi Wang Niang was really ruthless last night." ”

Hong Xuanjiao had already finished eating the noodles, and after drinking the noodle soup, she wiped her mouth and said slowly: "It's a pity that my martial arts are always inferior to him." ”

Hu Jiumei turned around and frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't the West Queen Niang say that she wouldn't do anything for the time being?" Why did you turn around and kill the killer? ”

Hong Xuanjiao sneered slightly: "After you left yesterday, I thought about it, or are you right, Brother Dongwang has the possession of Heavenly Father, which can make a person go to heaven or go to hell." Since he is my elder brother, everything should be done according to his wishes, but unfortunately it didn't work out last night, and he was shocked. ”

Hu Jiumei hummed and said: "The little sister will tell His Royal Highness the East King of 1510, His Royal Highness has the possession of the Heavenly Father, and has insight into all the world, the little sister can not hide it in the slightest, and please forgive the West Wangniang." ”

Hong Xuanjiao was secretly angry in her heart, after Hu Jiumei left yesterday, she thought about it and felt that she still couldn't do nothing, the situation of such maintenance was too obvious, and Xiao Yungui did not sneak into the room according to the agreement between the two before, so she had no choice but to kill Xiao Yungui who broke into the house. Sure enough, Hu Jiumei came to investigate early the next morning, and these knife marks just happened to let her see, and she had an explanation for Dongwang's side. She didn't want to disappear like Hong Xuanjiao in history.

"It's okay, you can just do your own thing." Hong Xuanjiao's face was impassive, and she said lightly: "How is the situation over there in the Splendid Camp?" ”

Hu Jiumei replied: "Everything is like we are in Chenzhou, yesterday the sisters followed the men's battalion soldiers and horses out of the city to clean up the battlefield in Wujialing, and they got a lot, and they were all paid to the holy treasury. Today, there are two sisters, Manmei and eldest sister, who take care of the injured and make dry food with their sisters, and they are all doing what they can first. ”

Hong Xuanjiao snorted, and Hu Jiumei said again: "But yesterday, my little sister heard some deeds of the King of the West in the city. ”

Hong Xuanjiao sighed, after she arrived in Changsha City yesterday, she entered the palace to heal her injuries, but on the way, she probably knew about the capture of Changsha from Xiao Yungui and the matter of him blaming himself and Zeng Shuiyuan, and the rest of the things had not yet had a chance to know, so she took a sip of tea and said: "Oh? Has he done anything evil? Let's hear it. ”…,

Hu Jiumei sat down next to the pestle and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything evil, but it's strange that I didn't do anything evil, the rich businessmen and magnates in the city, the squire bullies, and His Royal Highness the King of the West didn't kill them, and even the more than 10,000 bannermen in the city didn't move a bit, and they also agreed with the rich merchants and squires in the city that the fields would belong to them as usual, and I would only collect rent." ”

Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of tea, and didn't have time to wipe it with an embroidered towel, and hurriedly asked, "What are the details, tell me quickly." ”

Hu Jiumei told Xiao Yungui what he had done after entering the city, and when she heard Xiao Yungui's gambling game of filling the chessboard with rice grain, Hong Xuanjiao's face changed greatly, she blushed, slowly stood up, paced a few steps, and couldn't help muttering: "He, he actually knows the story of Dayil's wheat chessboard?" ”

Hu Jiumei said curiously: "West Wang Niang, what coat?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao looked a little excited, and hurriedly said, "I'm talking nonsense, you hurry up." ”

Hu Jiumei then talked about Xiao Yungui's deeds, and even said again about Xiao Yungui's cane blaming herself and Zeng Shuiyuan.

After listening, Hong Xuanjiao sat back on the pestle in a daze, her heart was pounding, she understood a little, this West King Xiao Chaogui must not be the West King Xiao Chaogui in history, Xiao Chaogui is a vegetable farmer who burns charcoal and works part-time, he doesn't know a few big characters, how can he know the story of the ancient Indian Prime Minister Dayil Maizi filling the chessboard? After entering the city, Qiu did not commit any crimes, how could it be the short-sighted long-haired thief? You must know that the Taiping Army of Chenzhou almost wiped out all the banner people in Chenzhou, and it was not a problem to rob rich merchants of money and food. This man must be from the Hereafter, just like himself!

Thinking of this, Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but stand up and hurriedly walked out of the house, and said to Hu Jiumei: "I have some urgent things to do, Jiumei, you go back to the camp first." After finishing speaking, he ignored Hu Jiumei's call and walked quickly.

Hu Jiumei stood under the porch and looked at Hong Xuanjiao's distant back, and muttered to herself: "Hong Xuanjiao, Hong Xuanjiao, is your move to startle the snake unintentionally or intentionally?" This hand is so beautiful that I can't tell the difference. ”

Hong Xuanjiao took a few female soldiers under his command to the gate of the governor's yamen, Yao Yuan and a few Taiping soldiers bravely caught up, and Yao Yuan called from afar: "Xiwang Niang go slowly." ”

Hong Xuanjiao stopped, turned her head and said, "You came just in time, where is His Royal Highness King Xi now?" ”

Yao Yuan sighed and said, "Last night, the King of the West went to the camp of General Li to rest for the night. ”

Hong Xuanjiao nodded and said hurriedly: "Okay, you take me to the King of the West quickly, I have something to find him." ”

Yao Yuan hummed and said: "Xiwang Niang, you have an injury in the leg, General Li's military camp is on the side of Xiaowumen, and the road is still quite far, so my subordinates will prepare a big car for you." ”

Hong Xuanjiao wanted to say that it was okay to ride a horse, but when she stopped at this time, she found that the wound on her calf was faintly painful, so she had to hum and ask Yao Yuan to go back quickly.

Yao Yuan's hands and feet were quite neat, and after a while, he caught up with a two-wheeled carriage, Hong Xuanjiao got into the carriage, and the female soldiers and male soldiers did not dare to share the car with her, so they followed the car and walked together, and a group of more than ten people went to Xiaowu Gate.

When I arrived outside the barracks of Xiaowumen, I heard that Xi Wangniang was coming, but it was Lin Fengxiang's deputy general Li Zuoche who came out of the barracks to greet her.

"Back to the West Wangniang, after the Lin guards and their subordinates led the army back to the city in the morning, His Royal Highness the West King took Lin guards, Li Zongzhi and others to the south of the city to explore the terrain." Li Zuoche bowed back and said.

Jumping into the air, Hong Xuanjiao frowned slightly, and immediately asked, "Did the King of the West say where to check the terrain at Miao Peak?" ”

Li Zuoche shook his head and said, "I didn't say it. ”

Hong Xuanjiao pondered for a moment and said, "Yao Yuan, find someone who is familiar with the path of Miao Peak to lead the way." ”

Yao Yuan looked back at the people who followed behind him and asked, "Li Tianxi, Chen Zhiming, both of you are from Hunan, can you know the path of Miao Peak?" ”

I saw a man in a red scarf step forward and hugged his fists and said: "Yao Shanren, the villain has worked as a coolie in the Chengnan Academy in Miaofeng, and he knows the path. ”

Yao Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Li Tianxi, you can lead the way." At that moment, a group of people gathered around Hong Xuanjiao's carriage and followed Li Tianxi to the Miao Peak in the south of the city.
