In the kitchen in the backyard of the governor's yamen, several large houses here are used as rooms, and even large cauldrons have been set up in the open space in the courtyard to cook food, and hundreds of female soldiers of the splendid battalion are busy and lively, and everyone's faces are beaming, it seems that the brigade is really encouraging to enter the city.

Hong Yun'er was still a little sulky, but as soon as she saw this lively scene here, her depression quickly dissipated.

Seeing Hong Yun'er coming, Xie Manmei, who was leading the female soldiers to cook here, greeted her with a smile: "West Wangniang, have you finished discussing the matter between the King of Heaven and the King of the East?" The meal is almost ready. ”

Hong Yun'er had already smiled, but as soon as she heard the discussion, she became a little hesitant: "Not yet, I'll come out to see how lunch is prepared when I hear that I am bored." ”

Xie Manmei sighed and said, "It's ready, you can prepare the table at any time, do you want me to greet everyone to serve the food?" ”

Hong Yun'er shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer, if you can hold a banquet, the King of the West will send someone to spread the word." She didn't know how long the group in the room would have to talk.

Xie Manmei said happily: "Xi Wangniang, I heard that the rear team has also entered the city, Hu Luxue has already taken the sisters to pick them up, and we will be able to meet Sanniang and the other sisters soon." ”

Hong Yun'er knew that the Sanniang that Xie Manmei said was the female army marshal Su Sanniang, this Su Sanniang's real name is Feng Yuniang, a native of Lingshan County, Qinzhou, Guangdong, born in the early years of Daoguang, and married Su San, a businessman from Lingshan County when she was a teenager, so people called her Su Sanniang. Su San is involved in the transportation industry and is a member of the Heaven and Earth Society. Soon after the marriage, Su San was killed by his peers. A group of young porters and tough boatmen under his command persuaded Su Sanniang to come forward and lead them to avenge Su Sanniang. Su Sanniang took them to the Heaven and Earth Society to ask for help, and the Heaven and Earth Society allocated five hundred congregations to her command, and within a few days, she killed the enemy and burned the murderer's house. So Su Sanniang became a "female bandit" wanted by the government. Since then, Su Sanniang has pulled up a strong team, robbed the rich and helped the poor, hoeed the strong and helped the weak, and galloped in Hengxian, Qinzhou, and Lingshan. The team grew to thousands of people, and she became one of the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society. In the winter of the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang, she led more than 2,000 people from the Heaven and Earth Society to Wuxuan Dongxiang Market to join the Taiping Army, participated in the Jintian Uprising, followed Hong Xiuquan to the battlefield, and made great contributions, and became the commander of the female army.

Su Sanniang is the commander of the Heavenly Women's Army, and she is in charge of the Heavenly Women's Battalion, and her position is still above Hong Xuanjiao. In addition to the thousands of Guangxi big-footed barbarians who can fight, there are also many old women of the Taiping Army, all of whom are under her command. I have the impression that Su Sanniang is brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, which makes the Qing demon frightened, but she is usually easy-going, Hong Xuanjiao often asks her for advice on the method of leading the troops, and also learns how to use the skills of muskets, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Hearing that Su Sanniang had also arrived, Hong Yun'er laughed again, remembering that when she just crossed, she could talk to Su Sanniang, Su Sanniang is now in her thirties, and she takes care of her like a big sister.

"Then let's go see Sanniang and them, I haven't seen them for a long time, I really miss them." Hong Yun'er couldn't bear it, so she wanted to see Su Sanniang.

Before the words fell, a crisp and hearty voice behind him smiled: "Queen Xi, if you don't prepare a meal here according to King Xi's instructions, where do you want to run?" ”

When Hong Yun'er and Xie Manmei looked back, they were overjoyed, only to see a female general with an embroidered robe and red headscarf walking into the backyard with several female soldiers, she was about thirty years old, with black hair hanging on both sides, melon seed face and willow eyebrows, her complexion was slightly dark, but it was a healthy wheat color, the smile hooked at the corner of her mouth with the afterglow of the corner of her eyes was very charming, her figure was slender, and she exuded the charm of a mature woman everywhere, this female general was Su Sanniang, the female marshal of the heavenly kingdom.

Seeing that Su Sanniang was coming, Hong Yun'er and Xie Manmei and other female soldiers were very happy, and a group of women came forward and chattered to see each other. Su Sanniang said a few words to the female soldiers, and then asked Xie Manmei to take everyone to continue cooking, and asked several female soldiers who came with her to also come forward to help, but she herself pulled Hong Yun'er aside to speak alone.

"You, are you upsetting the King of the West again?" Su Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled and said in a low voice: "After I led the army into the city, I went to the hall to pay my life, and when I came out, the king of the West asked me to come and see you, let me take care of you, don't let you run around." ”

Hong Yun'er pursed her lips and said slightly: "How dare I, aren't you afraid that he will let Brother Tian come down to teach me a lesson?" ”

Su Sanniang frowned slightly, and said with a straight face: "This kind of thing can't be nonsense. Then Wen Yan said: "Xuanjiao, I also told you in the past, let you collect your temperament, now it is no better than when you were still in Jintian, here are all people who lead thousands of troops, but you can't come by temperament." Also, there are some things that you can't say nonsense, and you have to remember that some things can only be said in your heart, not to others. No wonder King Xi asked me to come and see you, you must have said the wrong thing. ”

Hong Yun'er stomped her feet and said, "Obviously, what I said is right, but a group of big men don't listen, and that bastard still scolds me." ”

At that moment, Su Sanniang asked about the reason, Hong Yun'er told the truth about the situation just now, Su Sanniang smiled slightly: "You have wronged the King of the West, he is defending you, if you really annoy the King of Heaven and the King of the East, it will be light to beat you with a board." You should say these words to the King of Heaven and the King of the East alone, in full view of everyone, how can you let everyone step down? ”

Hong Yun'er sighed lightly and said, "I also know that he is for my good, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to him come here." I'm just angry, sometimes what our women say is obviously right, and they won't listen. ”

Su Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, she knew the temperament of this wild girl, she couldn't pull back the three cows when she was stubborn, she had openly questioned the authority of her brother in Jintian in her early years, and almost broke into a catastrophe, and today she is also generally open-mouthed, fortunately, she didn't hit Nanshan and didn't look back like before, and smiled at the moment: "Xuanjiao, do you know why I can be the commander of the female army now, and you can only lead the splendid battalion?" ”

Hong Yun'er turned her head sideways and said: "You raised an army against the Qing Dynasty a few years ago, and you have been leading troops to fight, you are much more capable than me, and your reputation on the rivers and lakes is also high." ”

Su Sanniang shook her head and said: "No, among the women in the kingdom of heaven, in terms of intelligence and martial arts, you are not inferior to me, and you are the sixth daughter of the heavenly father, the queen of the West Wang, and the daughter of Zhutang, originally I was a latecomer who couldn't compare to you anyway, but your temperament is too stubborn, impatient, and you don't know how to advance and retreat, so the king of heaven and the king of the east will let me lead the female army." ”

Hong Yun'er was slightly stunned, lowered her head and pondered, Su Sanniang smiled and took her hand and said: "Xuanjiao, although my heavenly kingdom treats women like sisters, but for more than a thousand years, men are inferior to women, those big men respect us, but they actually look down on us in their hearts, so no matter how reasonable you say, how can those big men be willing to put down their bodies and listen to the words of a woman?" Since entering the Taiping, I have always been less talking and doing more things, let me do what I do, and then tell the king of heaven and the king of the east about my experience, in short, it is to do it first if it is successful or not, and if there is anything wrong, I will go back and say, but I can't disobey in public, this is a big taboo. ”

Hong Yun'er somewhat understood, what heavenly father and six daughters, what Zhutang daughter, what West King Wang Niang, in the final analysis, were all given by those big men, in history, Hong Xuanjiao gradually faded out of people's sight after Xiao Chaogui's death, perhaps because of her temperament, in current words, it is that this person's right to speak has been harmonized, and Zuihou does not know what happened. At the beginning of the crossing, Hong Yuner was very happy to be able to possess Hong Xuanjiao, because this is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and she still respects women, unlike the Qing court, where women only have the role of giving birth to and teaching children. But now it seems that he still holds the idea of the society of later generations, thinking that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is equal to men and women, and now listening to Su Sanniang's words, he feels how ridiculous and ridiculous his idea is. Later generations have developed to a very high level of civilization, but they have not really reached the equality of men and women, let alone the current Qing Dynasty? Maybe it's really like Su Sanniang said, it's time for me to think about how to behave with others.

Seeing Hong Yun'er's pretty face red and white for a while, Su Sanniang smiled again and said: "Think about it yourself, in fact, King Xi is a good person, and he is good to you, although it seems rude, but in fact it is coarse and fine, you see that other princes have accepted several princesses, and he is still guarding you, you should be content." If one day he is not happy, and accepts more than a dozen princesses in one go, who are you crying to? ”

Hong Yun'er snorted, clenched her powder fists and said, "He dares!" ”

Su Sanniang snorted and laughed: "Why don't you dare?" ”

These four words made Hong Yun'er stunned, yes, why didn't he dare? Xiao Yungui, the merry young master, put it bluntly with himself, that is, the relationship between classmates, in this dark and ignorant era, if he really turns his face and denies people, he is really enough, he really accepts more than a dozen princesses, what can he do? Is it really possible to kill him?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Sanniang said in a low voice: "Actually, if you want to assert your own opinions, there is no need to conflict with those big men, there is a man next to you who is worthy of your good assistance, as long as he is willing to listen to you?" When we women treat men, we have to be like flying a kite, collecting and releasing them in order to hold him in the palm of our hands, otherwise we will be like a kite with a broken string, and we don't know where to fly. King Xi is a good man and a pillar of heaven, worthy of your sincere assistance. I don't have the blessing of you, you can realize your ambitions by assisting the King of the West, and I can only be ordered to do it. ”

Speaking of this, the two girls were silent, and after a while, Su Sanniang laughed again, she was such a lotte, and only listened to her: "The Xiao family's family members have also entered the city, and the ninth sister has placed them in the Zhu family's courtyard next to Liuyang Gate, Xiao Youhe is looking for his mother, do you want to go and see Youhe now?" ”

Hong Yun'er's face turned pale all of a sudden, and then turned red again, what Su Sanniang was talking about was Hong Xuanjiao and Xiao Chaogui's two-year-old son Xiao Youhe, this little enemy also entered the city, how should he face this child?
