Chapter 226: A Treat

In the private room, men and women are mixed, laughter is noisy, clothes are fragrant, and the scenery is extremely charming.

At this time, a bright moon had already been launched in the mid-air outside the window, illuminating a snow-white light in all directions, and the fragrance of honeysuckle drifted into the window with the breeze.

It didn't take until midnight until midnight when the banquet was eaten.

The shopkeeper arranged for the guests to come into the room to rest. When they were about to separate, Hou Fangyu's face was flushed, he helped Li Xiangjun, and he was still reluctant to give up on Yang Shucheng and the three of them, and he was babbling about the feat to be done in Beijing tomorrow.

Finally speaking, Hou Fangyu hugged Li Xiangjun and walked into the house.

On the second day, early in the morning, Li Xing got up early, and the villa was still quiet, only birds and birds were singing happily on the branches, and the fresh air of grass and trees came to his nose. After a night of trouble, the people in the villa were still asleep.

Li Xing was walking in the courtyard, wanting to lead the horse and walk back to the city, but thinking that it was inappropriate, this Hou Fangyu still had some strength, and he could still make a difference if he raised his arms.

Now the Qing army is going south, unstoppable, I heard that the Dashun army has entered Hubei, there are Qing soldiers in front, there are Ming troops in the back, and the Dashun army is sandwiched in the middle, how to resist?

Li Xing hesitated, and saw that the entire villa was still immersed in sleep, so he walked along the mountain road and walked out of the villa.

Facing the river, the air is fresh and blowing in the face, thinking about his life's ambition, wanting to do a thousand years of career, has been successful, but it has not been a month, everything is a failure, how not to make people sigh! But if you give up, you will be very unwilling in your heart.

Li Xing walked along the tree-lined path by the river.

The first day has risen in the sky, and the glow shines on the mountains, rivers and trees, all dressed in gold, shining up and down, a piece of brilliance. Thinking that he followed Li Zicheng and fought everywhere, where would he have the leisure to enjoy such a magnificent scene.

I didn't feel that I had walked seven or eight miles away, and at this time, the sun had risen above the treetops, thinking that Yang Shucheng and the others were still in the villa, I was afraid that they would be in suspense, so I had to walk back.

Soon returned to the villa, the owner of the villa and his family had already gotten up, and people came and went, busy cleaning up the mess of yesterday.

After Li Xing said hello, he walked to the room, and Yang Shucheng followed Bai Yuyao over together.

The three of them discussed together for a while, and when they walked to the hall, they had already made tea.

The three of them sat in the hall, drinking tea, and gossiping about each other.

The sun had already risen in mid-air, and the shadow of the flower swayed on the ground, and at this time, the Hou Fangyu finally came over.

"I made the three of them wait for a long time, I was happy last night, I drank too much, and I couldn't get up in the morning. Don't be surprised by the three brothers. ”

So, the wine and food were put on the table, and although it was breakfast, it was still very rich. Li Xiangjun made a special statement that this meal was her life-saving grace in thanking the three sons.

Since Li Meinu said so, the wine is also unavoidable, not to mention that this Li Xiangjun is also massive, and the three of them can't shorten the number of courtesies, so they also ate breakfast for an hour.

After eating, according to the results of the prior discussion, Hou Fangyu and the other four people, with their families, rode towards the capital.

Li Xiangjun did not let her eyebrows go, and still rode a horse, led by a family member with the reins, and followed behind.

Walking to the gate of the East City, Li Xing and the three of them wanted to enter the city, and Hou Fangyu had a rented house in Qinhuai River outside the city. Hou Fangyu invited the three of them to follow him to the Qinhuai River.

The three of them resigned, saying that after entering the city, they had other things to do. Seeing this, Hou Fangyu set a date for the meeting.

Before parting, Yang Shucheng also repeatedly confessed, asking him to convene the people in the Restoration Society, jointly play, create public opinion, and let Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng concentrate on the country and fight the Qing army south.

That Hou Fangyu promised to say goodbye.

Li Xing and the three of them rode to the gate of the north city, handed over the horses to the horse shop on the edge of the city, and the three of them had a slip and walked into the city.

The three of them all knew in their hearts that they couldn't do anything with this Hou Fangyu, so they didn't speak.

Walking into an alley, where there were very few people, Yang Shucheng couldn't help but ask:

"General Li, what should I do in the future?"

Li Xingdao: "According to rumors in the city, the Qing soldiers have broken through the Huai River defense line, and Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie's subordinates have all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and they will go south with the Qing soldiers, and I estimate that they will soon hit the Yangtze River." ”

Li Xing looked at the two of them gloomily, and said: "The Dashun army has also arrived in Hubei, and Zuo Mengeng, the son of Zuo Liangyu, has also joined the Qing army and is working together to encircle and suppress the Dashun army. Why don't you go back? ”

Both nodded in agreement.

Li Xing saw that both of them were willing to go back, and said: "The two bags of gold, silver and jewelry we brought when we came were also obtained by the Dashun army in blood, and we can't cheapen these two traitorous ministers." ”

When Bai Yuyao heard this, she smiled lightly: "This General Li rest assured, I have taken back Ruan Dacheng's burden, and I have a lot of money." It's just that Ma Shiying's things are still in the Linggu Temple outside the city, and there are more than 100 hometown soldiers guarding them. ”

So, Bai Yuyao told Li Xing what he had done during the two nights.

Li Xing didn't speak, and waited until Bai Yuyao finished speaking, then he sighed and said: "There are these two traitors, who only care about themselves, and have already thought of a way out, no one thinks about the country, I estimate that it will only take more than ten days for the Qing army to break through the capital." ”

The three of them turned the street, and there were many people here, and the sound of shouting was endless. Looking at this bustling people, where is there a little sign of destroying the country.

Bai Yuyao asked: "Ma Shiying, a traitor, we have to take his things to grow this breath." ”

Li Xingdao: "Just the three of us, it seems that we don't have much certainty. ”

Yang Shucheng said: "Huang Xianfu in the palace can also help us." ”

Li Xing asked, "How do you get into the palace?" ”

Yang Shucheng said: "I've already thought about it, let's go to that Liu Aming for a drink." ”

When the two of them heard this, they both smiled and said, "Looking for him to drink, it seems that the three of us have traveled thousands of miles to the capital to repay his wine money." ”

This Liu Aming eats and drinks all day long, and if no one invites him to drink, he lies on the bed at home, motionless, hungry.

But he also has the ability, he drills around, asks around, and is also a great street bastard, and such a person can also be used.

The three of them no longer went back to the inn, but walked along the road they had walked towards Liu Aming's house.

Since I walked once, I didn't need to ask anyone, so I only came to Liu Aming's residence.

Soon came to Quliu Lane. Walked to the front of Liu Aming's house. I knocked on the door and shouted a few times, but there was not even a sound inside.

Could it be that this kid was lucky, and someone invited him to drink?

Bai Yuyao looked inside, and the door was closed, but there was no padlock. He knew in his heart that he kicked the door open with one kick and walked in unceremoniously.

When I walked to the door of the house, I kicked it open with one kick.

Walking in, there were two simple rooms, and there was no one in the room.

Bai Yuyao shouted: "You kid come out for Lao Tzu, otherwise a fire will burn down your house." ”

"No, no." Liu Aming crawled out of the pyre next to the stove and explained, "I didn't know that the three sons were coming, I thought it was the wicked who came, so I hid in the kitchen." If I had known that the three sons were coming, I would have welcomed them outside the gate. ”

In fact, this Liu Aming lied, he drank and owed money to others, and they decided to ask for money today, saying that if they didn't pay back the money, they would want his life. Where did he have any money, so when he heard the knock on the door, he hurriedly hid in the pyre.
