Two days later, the two appeared in Xianfeng County, but after arriving here, Li You was stunned to find that there was a big Louzi in the process of asking for directions

The homeless people told Li You that Shi Da had done his homework in Xianfeng, Lichuan and other places, and forced into Fuzhou, Sichuan, but this was already last year's news, and it was also the news of last year's period, which was not only useless, but delayed Li You a lot of time

Fortunately, the Qing army that surrounded and suppressed the Taiping Army was still partially stationed here, Li You and Chi You infiltrated the barracks, caught a small officer, and after some questioning, they finally asked about the recent situation of the Taiping Army, which was a month ago

Since separating from Li You, Shi Dakai led the headquarters of the army from Zhenxiong in Yunnan into Sichuan, advanced to Hengjiang, and the Qing army in the camp of the Sichuan army, the Yunnan army and the Hunan army launched a fierce battle, the two sides fought bloodily here for more than 20 days, and finally because of the traitors in the Taiping army, they defected, and under the decline, Shi Dakai led the army to withdraw to Yunnan for correction

At this time, the army stationed in the Xianfeng area was deployed by the Hunan army, and after a little repair, it was going to enter Sichuan to prevent the Taiping army from being ruthless again and breaking through the Yangtze River defense line into Sichuan

Looking at the rudimentary map drawn by the junior officer, Li You couldn't wait to give himself a few slaps from the map and found out from the map that the place where Shi Dakai was repaired was only more than two hundred kilometers away from the underground world, and he arrived not far from the forest, but after so many days and a big circle, he was already more than six hundred kilometers away from the other party's diameter at this time

"It's confusing!" Li You slapped himself hard, and asked for a while, after confirming that he couldn't ask anything more from the mouth of the little officer, he took Chi You and left Chi You Before leaving, he immediately twisted the neck of the little officer who thought he had escaped, and said to Li You: "If you don't kill people, it's easy to leak your whereabouts......

Li You hissed and inhaled the cold air, but he was full of slander in his heart, this guy was clearly venting his dissatisfaction with the speed of the two of them, even if the Qing army knew their whereabouts, how could they catch up? This is nothing more than a pretext

But Li You didn't say much, in this troubled world, life is like a mustard, killing a small officer of the Qing army, it is not a big deal, after collecting some food, clothing and weapons from the barracks, the two picked a relatively peaceful road and set off again

"March, April......" Li You was worried, calculating in his heart that it would not take a few days to catch up with Shi Dakai's army, but what Li You was worried about was Shi Dakai's next fate, even if he arrived in time, what could he do for Shi Dakai?

Dissuade Shi Dakai from leaving?

This kind of thing is unlikely, although Tianjing has not yet fallen, but the defeat of the Taiping army and the degeneration and decay of the head of the Taiping army in Tianjing have sounded the death knell of the heavenly kingdom, although at this time there are still many rising stars in the Taiping army to support the battle situation, but with the layout of the Qing army and the available resources of the Taiping army are decreasing, the fall of Tianjing is just around the corner

It can be said that Shi Dakai is not only the life and death of 100,000 Taiping troops, but more importantly, the hope for the survival of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom actually falls on this army of the Western Expedition, how could Shi Dakai abandon this army and flee alone? Or disband the Taiping Army, so that this army, which has followed him for more than ten years, will be reduced to chickens and dogs, to be slaughtered?

This kind of thing, Li You believes that Shi Dakai can't do it, if Shi Dakai does such a thing, Li You also knows that it is impossible for him to save him

However, it is easy to save Shi Dakai, but it is difficult to save the Taiping Army, and it is impossible for him and Chi You to defeat the Qing army gathered from all directions

"This matter can only be seen step by step"

……

Chengdu City, the study of the political envoy Liu Rong's mansion

In the room with the three-character plaque of "Yanghui Hall", a man with an oily braid on his head and a hideous scar on his face sat opposite the political envoy Liu Rong, holding a tea cup in his hand, took a sip, put it down, and said in a gloomy voice: "Your Excellency is the political envoy ......."

Although he called the lord in his mouth, the man did not have much respect on his face, but said arrogantly: "I am humbly ordered by the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Military Aircraft Department, and I led one hundred and thirty-two people to come on an errand with blood drops, this matter involves the national fortune of my Qing Dynasty, and I hope that the Lord can bear with me and take care of it."

The other party opened his mouth and brought out the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Military Aircraft Department, and the name of the Minister of Gu Ming was not marked, Liu Rong naturally did not dare to slack off, but flipped through the secret decree directly covered with the seal of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, but Liu Rong saw a wry smile in her heart, but there was no slightest inappropriateness on the surface, nodded and signaled understanding

The political envoy is from the second grade, in a province and a place, it can be regarded as a prince, and the power is amazing, but in front of the man, he can't show the slightest arrogance Liu Rong has been rolling in the officialdom for decades, although he has not stayed in the center of power, but he has almost stepped on the peak of the bureaucratic system

But despite this, he has never heard anyone mention the "blood drops" department of the Qing Dynasty, but there are folk legends, but as an official, how can he believe such nonsense, but when one hundred and thirty-three blood droplets quietly appeared in the backyard of his political envoy's yamen, he had to believe this fact

The content of the secret decree is also really alarmist, it is related to the secret news of the palace, and it is also related to the Taiping army that is spreading in Yunnan, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei

The content of the secret decree is actually very simple, saying that the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently turned out the secret fold given to Yongzheng during the period of Emperor Yongzheng, the year of Rao Pingding, the size of Jinchuan, and the fold mentioned an artifact, which is extremely powerful, and the red-clothed cannon is like a firefly and the sun and the moon compete for glory

Originally, Nian Tangrao was ordered to find this artifact, but because he later fell out of favor, after being executed by Yongzheng, the matter was taken over by the blood droplets, but for a hundred years, there was not much progress, but recently there were sudden signs that the artifact had been unearthed in the southwest of Sichuan, and the blood droplets led the crowd to hunt for treasures, only to find that things were very bad, according to intelligence, the treasure was unearthed in the area, there were Taiping army haunts, it is likely that the treasure has fallen into the hands of the Taiping army, so the blood drops came to find the political envoy to seek cooperation and help, Reclaim this treasure from the Taiping army

Liu Rong would not believe this kind of strange power, he was more inclined to believe it, the empress dowager of the two palaces may have seen that the Taiping army was about to be destroyed, and the looted treasures in the long-haired thief army were red-eyed, so she sent blood droplets to mix with it, and it was true that she was ready to snatch food from the mouths of the various armies

But this kind of talk of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will naturally not be straightforward, but it is not difficult to understand that Liu Rong is very clear about the difficulties at this time, but as a political envoy, it is difficult for him to meddle too much in this kind of matter, so he can only give them a note and join the army of encirclement and suppression
