In the wing room of the mansion, Hong Xuanjiao didn't wait for Hu Jiumei to finish speaking and then interrupted categorically: "You are wrong, my shot was definitely not aimed at the King of the West, he is my Hong Xuanjiao's husband, will I murder my husband?" ”

Hu Jiumei shook her head and said lightly: "Since Xiwangniang said no, the little sister will believe it." It's just that this time the little sister came to Changsha with the West Wangniang, and she was ordered by the East King, and the East King's general order should not be forgotten by the West Wangniang, right? Everyone is a woman, sometimes we women will be soft-hearted, if there is something that the West Queen Niang can't do, you can send the little sister. ”

Hong Xuanjiao's eyes flashed coldly, and she looked at Hu Jiumei coldly and said, "You were sent by the East King?" ”

Hu Jiumei hummed softly, lowered her head and said: "The little sister is also forced to be helpless, and she acts as ordered, and the West Queen Niang should not blame the little sister." ”

Hong Xuanjiao sneered slightly and asked, "What did the East King tell you?" ”

Hu Jiumei smiled and said: "Men learn Feng Yunshan, women learn Hu Jiumei, this sentence is not like this, earlier it was the female student Hong Xuanjiao, you know the West Wang Niang." Little sister, I ask myself, talent, martial arts, and strategy are not as good as you, Xiwang Niang, but why is this sentence a female student Hu Jiumei? The king of the east only told me that he can hold a person to heaven or step on a person to hell, and my man's son is virtuous and pulls him to work under the king of the east, and I am also forced to ...... my little sister."

Hong Xuanjiao snorted lightly with some disdain, raised her hand and stopped: "I understand, the East King sent you to spy on me." Then he looked at Hu Jiumei coldly and said, "If you talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will deal with you?" ”

Hu Jiumei sighed lightly: "When I came, I discussed with Xianba, and Xianba asked me to listen to the orders of the king of the east no matter how I act. Now that my great cause of heaven has not been accomplished, does the West Queen want to see a fight? What the East King said was no matter how embarrassing it was. But Xiaomei firmly believes that everything is right, and it must be beneficial to our heavenly kingdom. Xiaomei just wants to remind the West Wangniang that when she has a heart, she must never be half-hearted, so as not to miss the big event of the East King. ”

Hong Xuanjiao's heart was cold, and she didn't know how many people she had sent by the East King to monitor, Hu Jiumei didn't miss the West King's life-saving grace in the morning, and always believed in the East King's orders, which shows the prestige of the East King Yang Xiuqing in the Taiping Army, he arranged it like this, it seems that he has to put people to death.

At that moment, Hong Xuanjiao snorted lightly and said: "I have my own measure, the time has not come at this moment, the Qing demon is approaching on all sides, let's not do anything for the time being, it is the best policy to help the King of the West to defend Changsha first, you go down first." ”

After Hu Jiumei answered, she gossiped a few more words before leaving. Hong Xuanjiao was lying on the bed, but she couldn't calm down in her heart, to be honest, she seemed to be unwilling to hurt that person in the deepest part of her heart, and this body didn't seem to be willing, but under the power of Dongwang's side, it was difficult for her to protect herself.

Why Hong Xuanjiao disappeared in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the later period, it seems that the clues can already be seen at this moment. The character of Hong Xuanjiao is a mystery in history, and there are still some records in the history of the early Heavenly Kingdom, but there are no writings after the capital of Nanjing, and even later generations questioned whether there was such a person as Hong Xuanjiao. At this moment, I realized that Hong Xuanjiao, the person behind the history, must have known something in the death of King Xi, and then was made disappear, which shows how strange the treacherous power struggle is.

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, pretended to ask his heavenly father to go down to earth, and many times his words even the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan could not object, what should he do? This game of chess seems to be caught in the middle of it by itself, and no matter how you go, it is a dead game. …,

Hong Xuanjiao thought about it, a sense of tiredness hit her body, she fought all night last night, and drove a lot of mountain roads, and rested a little last night, she was also busy checking the sentry and comforting the injured sisters, she didn't have much rest, and she injured her calf in the morning battle, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

……

Xiao Yungui came out of the governor's yamen, and Chen Picheng and Tan Shaoguang were standing on the side, and they heard that there was still a war outside the north gate, and they were eager to try. The boy soldiers of the Taiping Army fought bravely and had a pure mind, which was deeply loved by the generals of the Taiping Army at all levels, and they were treated like brothers on weekdays. Seeing Xiao Yungui come out, Chen Picheng stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the King of the West, there is still a war outside the north gate, can you take us with you?" ”

Xiao Yungui wanted to refuse, but looked at Tan Shaoguang on the side, this kid is the king of Mu in the future, many of the child soldiers of the Taiping Army are young, if you want to win over you as a confidant, you have to start as soon as possible, and nodded immediately: "It's okay, a few of you will go to the north gate with this king, and after this king asks about the battle situation, I will definitely send you into battle." ”

At that moment, Xiao Yungui took his guards and a few boy soldiers to the north gate, and when everyone rushed to the north gate, Ji Wenyuan greeted him with joy and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, there is news from Wujialing, the ambush of the Qing demon was successful, the Qing demon was hit by Li Kaifang's department in Liujiadu, the pontoon bridge was damaged, and the six thousand Qing demons were cut into two sections. Speaking of this, Ji Wenyuan paused, and said with some regret: "Li Kaifang came to ask the horse team in the city to pursue half an hour ago, but unfortunately the horse team followed the king of the west to save the women's camp and the boy soldiers, and the younger brother could only send a five-hundred-foot team to follow and pursue." ”

Xiao Yungui sighed again and again: "It's really a pity, but the horse team defeated more than 1,000 people of the Qing Demon Deng Shaoliang in the south, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the battle of Liuyang." ”

Ji Wenyuan sighed and said, "Deng Demon Head was defeated? That's really good, within one day, our front army retreated two Qing Demon Brigades, and the rest of the Qing Demon will definitely be frightened and dare not approach Changsha, King Xi, isn't our military strategy in advance completed? ”

Xiao Yungui touched his chin and said: "This matter still needs to send more spies out of the city to hear the behavior of the demons from all walks of life before making a decision, Tong Qiangsheng They were intercepted and killed by Deng Demon's probe last night, and the damage was not small, Brother Tong was also a little injured, let He Bin and them take some of their brothers out of the city to listen to the news, their robe brother will also have a lot of eyeliner here." If all the demons are stagnant, then our game of chess can be regarded as a real game. ”

Ji Wenyuan immediately ordered someone to give He Bin an order, and while he was talking, he saw the Taiping army of the brigade outside the north of the city escorting a large number of Qing army prisoners back triumphantly, Xiao Yungui said: "Open the city gate to welcome the triumphant brothers!" ”

In the battle of Liuyang River, more than 6,000 Qing troops were ambushed by the Taiping army Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang in Liujiadu, the Qing army was half crossed after the Taiping army was attacked, the Qing army Hunan Governor Bao Qibao was killed on the spot, the pontoon bridge was destroyed by the Taiping army's artillery fire, Lin Fengxiang ambushed the soldiers on the north bank, and the Qing army was defeated and dispersed.

Luo Raodian, the assistant of the Qing army and the minister of military affairs of Hunan, almost wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, but was pulled by the death of the people, and Luo Raodian had to take the officials who fled from the city below the prefect of Changsha to lead more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated army to temporarily retreat to Xiangyin. The new governor of Hubei, Shuangfu, is the white banner of Manchuria, and he is a member of the Tara clan, who was ordered by Emperor Xianfeng to supervise Guizhou soldiers and horses to Hubei to prepare to go south to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Taiping army that entered Hunan. After Shuangfu led the troops to Yuezhou, he heard that the Liuyang River was defeated, and he was very frightened, so he had to temporarily garrison Yuezhou to watch, and he was also afraid that the Taiping army would take advantage of the victory to advance north and invade Hubei.

It was Li Kaifang who led the troops to escort the Qing prisoners back to the city first, and saw Xiao Yungui and others at the city gate. Seeing that Li Kaifang returned victoriously, Xiao Yungui stepped forward to express his appreciation and encouragement. …,

Li Kaifang was not arrogant at all, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, except for the hundreds of people who swam back to the north bank to escape, the rest were destroyed by our army, and there were more than 1,000 people captured by the Qing Demon alone, and there were a lot of firearms, red medicine, money and grain, banners, and horses. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded, turned around and smiled at Chen Picheng and Tan Shaoguang: "You go and greet the uninjured female battalion soldiers and horses and your boy soldiers to quickly go out of the city to clean up the battlefield, remember to collect more red medicine, and don't miss a little!" ”

Chen Picheng, Tan Shaoguang and other boy soldiers immediately agreed, although they failed to catch the battle, but they were the happiest to clean up the battlefield, and they didn't have time to greet Li Kaifang, so they quickly went back to call someone.

Li Kaifang said with a smile: "Chen Picheng is a little ghost, he can finally follow the king of the West at this time, at first his uncle Chen Chengying scolded him in Chenzhou. ”

Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Chen Picheng's uncle is Chen Chengying?" It was only when he said these words that he remembered that this was indeed the case, and Xiao Chaogui's memory told him that Chen Chengying only had Chen Picheng, a nephew. Wouldn't this Chen Picheng be the future King of England, Chen Yucheng? So why is it called Chen Picheng now?

Xiao Yungui had half a bucket of water in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he didn't know that many famous generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had changed their names, and it was not until this time that he knew that he still had the future King Chen Yucheng in his hands.
