At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan Shun and his group of Yuan Dynasty lords and nobles were extremely poor and extravagant, and they were so happy that officials at all levels took the opportunity to be corrupt and deceive. In addition, in 1344, the Yellow River broke in the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, and the imperial court decided to govern the Yellow River regardless of the deficit of the national treasury, so it increased taxes and labor, and the taxes in some places were even received after 3 years, so that both sides of the Yellow River were starving all over the wilderness, and the people were not able to make a living. Bandits from all over the country flocked up, the weak occupied the mountains as kings, and the strong chased the Central Plains, and the world was in chaos for a while.

With the successive annexation wars, the situation gradually became clearer, and the only people who had the strength to win the Central Plains were Chen Youliang, who occupied the two lakes, Zhang Shicheng, who owned most of eastern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who held western Jiangsu and parts of Jiangxi and Anhui.

Just when these three heroes were intriguing and fighting happily, in the Dabie Mountains where Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng's forces were intertwined, a group of bandits with considerable strength suddenly appeared. attracted Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng to look sideways.

In order to relieve his worries, Zhu Yuanzhang devoted himself to dealing with Chen Youliang, and was determined to exterminate this bandit first, so as not to make them bigger. He sent a general named Shi Liang and ordered him to lead more than 2,000 men from his headquarters into the mountains to suppress bandits.

To say that this Shi Liang is also a member of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals, followed Zhu Yuanzhang's southern expedition to the north and made a lot of achievements, this time I heard that he let him lead the troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits, full of complaints and very dissatisfied, at the beginning of the contempt of the psychology, he led the troops into the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, stationed in Huoshan County, located in the west of Anhui, and then sent a sentry to the bandits entrenched in the white horse, but the next day, the three sentry spies were cut off one ear, stumbled back, and they also told Shi Liang that the bandit leader was a woman, It is extremely beautiful, but it is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and the female bandit leader does not kill them, so that they can come back and warn Shi Liang, let him retreat quickly, and everyone will be safe.

When I heard this, I secretly thought in my heart, if a big beauty like Ye Lingwen is not talented enough to protect herself in troubled times, she will definitely have a thin face and a miserable fate. The female bandit leader she said must be herself.

"If my guess is correct, this female bandit leader should be you, right?" I asked

Ye Lingwen seemed to be completely immersed in the memories of the past, she didn't speak and only nodded slightly, and continued to tell me her story, but she replaced the female bandit leader in her mouth with "me"

Shi Liang didn't take us bandits in his eyes, and what he didn't expect was that the bandit leader turned out to be a woman, and he dared to be so rampant in front of him, he was furious, and immediately took all the soldiers and horses into Baimajian, Baimajian is the highest mountain in a radius of hundreds of miles, the mountain is steep, and the mountain is full of strange rocks. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and there is only one sheep intestine path leading to the peak, which is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This Shi Liang was a little cautious when he saw that the mountain was so steep at the bottom of the mountain, and hesitated at the bottom of the mountain, but as soon as he saw the sparse team of two or three hundred people I brought, he laughed right away, I guess he couldn't bear to attack the whole army, if this really started, it would not be a battle between the two armies, it would be a massacre.

He immediately asked me to fight alone, probably because he wanted to fight quickly and go back as soon as possible.

At that time, I covered my face with black veil, and I used a white-pole spear, and Shi Liang's big knife could fight me for nearly a hundred rounds before it gradually ran out. He was frightened, had to order the whole army to press, my more than 200 brothers, of course, can not be more than 2,000 regular troops, naturally is deserted and fled, Shi Liang took advantage of the momentum to chase, he did not know that this is actually my plan to lure the enemy, Shi Liang 2,000 soldiers and horses were lured into the valley by me, the front and rear roads were blocked by me with rolling stones, forming a situation of closing the door and beating dogs, as a result, he lost most of his soldiers and horses, and he himself was caught by me.

But I didn't know that this was the beginning of my nightmare.

That Shi Liang is a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, I don't want to kill him and complain against Zhu Yuanzhang, how dare we, hundreds of people, provoke his surname Zhu. I entertained him with delicious food and drink, and hoped that he would be able to speak for us in front of Zhu Yuanzhang when he went back.

Who knew that this Shi Liang would take revenge, he secretly promised several leaders of my cottage a high-ranking official Houlu, and bribed them, on the day I put on a banquet to send him down the mountain, they drugged me in my wine and fascinated me, the surnamed Shi tied me up and escorted me to Zhu Yuanzhang with my flying knife, some of the brothers in my cottage were killed by them as long as they resisted a little, and the others also surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang may see that I am outstanding, so he wants to include me in his harem, I swear to die, but there is no way, I can only wash my face with tears all day long, they are hindered by my strength, and they dare not force me too much, just lock me with chains, and send troops to guard day and night, but I finally fell into their way, they drugged my food, when I woke up in a daze, I only saw Zhu Yuanzhang lying naked on me, I really wanted to bite him to death, but I was weak, and my hands and feet were tied to the bed, He can only be left to spoil.

From that day on, I just felt that there was nothing in this world that I was nostalgic for, and I was a carefree person. So I went on a hunger strike, hoping to die.

Ye Lingwen said this, crystal tears slipped down her face, and I could only be relatively silent, silently handing her a tissue.

After that day, Zhu Yuanzhang heard that I was on a hunger strike, and sent a doctor to take care of me, and sent me a message that if I died of hunger strike, this doctor and all the brothers who surrendered from my cottage would be buried with me.

So I couldn't die, I could only live like the walking dead, but after a few months, I was skinny and haggard, and Zhu Yuanzhang slowly lost interest in me.

At this time, only the imperial doctor accompanied me day and night, enlightening me, I thought that he had to do this because his net worth and life depended on me, but then I slowly realized that he really wanted to help me recover and let me have the courage to live again.

Whenever I was depressed, he would show up with me, talk to me, make me happy, and whenever I was not feeling well, he would prescribe medicine for me. With his company and care, I slowly came out of the haze of pain, and my body gradually recovered.

With the recovery of my body, I returned to my old appearance, and he was afraid that my beauty would attract Zhu Yuanzhang again, so he risked his life and secretly asked me to take the Yirong soup he prescribed, and after drinking this decoction for a while, my complexion began to turn dull and yellow, and my skin became rough.

Slowly I found out that I was completely in love with him, he was much older than me, and he must have a family. What's more, I have been included in the harem by Zhu Yuanzhang. But I still can't extricate myself from falling in love with him, when he told me that he was also alone, I completely unloaded the burden of ten thousand pounds in my heart and threw myself into his arms, I know that we are on a road of no return, once discovered, it is certain death, but when the two lonely hearts ignite the blazing love fire, it will burn everything, what precepts and rules are not worth mentioning, not to mention that I have no intention of living without him!

After that, we used every opportunity to meet secretly.
