In the past few years, Yongning, accompanied by the red lady, has traveled to dozens of state capitals in the north and south of the river.

The suffering of the people and the corruption of the government deeply stimulated Yongning.

Famine and war have left the poor people displaced everywhere, especially in the Central Plains.

On this day, the two arrived at Nanyang Mansion City.

On a hot summer day, people are sweating all over the sun, and there are few people on the official road.

The red lady walked in front and was almost at the gate of the city, and suddenly saw that the flag fluttering on the city wall was not the familiar Mingzi flag, and the soldiers guarding the city were not dressed and did not look like the Ming army.

The red lady couldn't help but change her face greatly, and when she was hesitating, Yongning had already caught up and looked at the city tower with an angry face.

"The country has been struggling in the past few years, it is these rogues who are confused and chaotic, it seems that this Nanyang City has been occupied by Li Zicheng's people again."

The red lady's face was already pale and weak, and she hurriedly pulled Yongning.

"Sister, be quiet, these people are murderous without blinking."

Yongning was still angry and wanted to say something more, when several soldiers at the gate of the city came over at this time.

"The two sneaky ones don't go into the city, but what are they muttering here?"

"I have walked thousands of miles, and I have never seen such a Peugeot, handsome woman, but today I am full of eyes."

The more the soldiers talked, the more scoundrels they became, and one of them even came to pull the hand of the red lady.

Yongning's face was pale, and he was about to have a seizure, when a voice came from behind.

"If Li Zicheng's people are like this, it will be difficult to achieve great things!"

When he rode a horse to the front, it was a man in white who spoke.

The red lady's pale face was filled with a hint of surprise.

"Where did you come from, if you dare to speak like this, you are not afraid that the young masters will cut off your head."

The soldiers stared at the white-clothed young man viciously.

"Even if Li Zicheng sees me, he will be polite, Song Xiaozi personally made tea for me to drink, and I may not give him face."

The young man in white spoke very loudly, and the soldiers looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

"The eldest brother is in the Defu Mansion, and when he hears the local accent in another country, he is very kind."

The accent of the red lady's voice was very similar to that of the young man in white.

"Li Xin travels all over the world, the world is less and less the same world, although you and I are fellow villagers, life is like morning dew, see it or not, what can you do if you get acquainted?"

The red lady listened to it with little understanding, and it was also a little unnatural, and a flush appeared on her face.

"This man is very arrogant, sister! We went into the city, and we didn't have to pay attention to him. ”

Yongning glanced at Li Xin and urged the horse to go to the city, but the red lady had to follow.

"Those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want! It's a pity that there is a vast sea of people, and it is difficult to find a confidant. ”

Li Xin sighed again.

"Can Li Zicheng be in the city?"

"You dare to call us young master so directly? It's really daring, the young master has returned to Shaanxi, and now the lord of the city will be General Liu. ”

A soldier shouted.

"Which General Liu? Is it Liu Xingyue? ”

"Does Childe recognize General Liu?"

A few soldiers have been polite enough.

"Back then, when Fengyun Valley in northern Shaanxi was on the same side, he really followed Li Zicheng on this road."

The red lady had already heard it, and her heart was pounding, Brother Liu turned out to be a general under Li Zicheng?

I haven't seen him for a few years, but he is here, and I am accompanying Sister Yongning, of course, it is not good to see her.

Incredibly, this Li Xin also knows Brother Liu, although the world is very big, it is also very small.

"I also recognize this Liu Xingyue, when they arrived in Beijing, they thought about it like yesterday."

Yongning, who was walking in front, said, his voice was very sad.

The red lady was even more surprised, but it was not good to ask Sister Yongning.

The two of them entered the city and lived, and the red lady was in a trance, from the moment she heard that Liu Xingyue was in this Nanyang City.

After eating at the inn at night, Yongning was physically and mentally exhausted from riding a horse all the way, and went to bed early.

The red lady sat alone under the lamp, full of thoughts, thinking of Sister Zhuoma who she met outside the gate, and after a while, Liu Xingyue's appearance appeared in her mind, and she mustered up her courage several times, wanting to go to him, and then looked back at Yongning on the bed, and her heart was sour.

"I can't leave my sister alone, she doesn't have me by her side anymore, and she's even more lonely, Brother Liu is now a rogue again, hey!"

The red lady sighed and walked over to hang up Yongning's mosquito net.

At this time, there were bursts of roars, and there were shouts of killing.

The red lady was startled, Yongning also woke up, her face was full of sweat, and she hugged the red lady in front of the bed tightly.

The shouting of killing is getting louder and louder, the night sky outside is red, and the red lady has no owner, looking out of the window blankly.

"It must be the men and horses of the official army who have come into the city, so it's better to stay in this room."

Yongning said, pulling the red lady to lie down.

"That's what my sister said, where can we go, it's scary out there."

The sound of artillery fire and shouts of killing lasted for more than an hour, and it was a deathly silence, and even the sound of people's heartbeats could be heard.

The silent night was even more terrible and sad.

Suddenly, after the rumbling noise, the fire rose into the sky, and the inn was already on fire, and there was a loud shout of killing outside.

The red lady didn't have time to think about it, so she pulled up Yongning and rushed out of the inn.

The inn and the surrounding houses were on fire, and the streets were in chaos, people were fleeing in all directions, and soldiers were slashing and killing people indiscriminately, whether it was Li Zicheng's men or Ming officers and soldiers who rushed into the city.

Yongning was weak, and the red lady almost half-hugged her and ran towards a place where there were few people.

At this time, an ownerless horse ran over, and the red lady jumped over, stopped the horse, and pushed Yongning to the saddle.

"There are two girls in front, who look very young."

The red lady was under the horse, leading the horse and running for a while, and more than a dozen horsemen rushed over behind her, and the soldiers also laughed.

"Sister, get on your horse, let's rush out of the city, there is a great danger in this chaotic army."

Yongning shouted loudly, looking back at the dozen or so horsemen who were getting closer and closer.

"Sister, don't be afraid! There are two people sitting on this horse, and we can't outrun them, so I'll stop them first. ”

The red lady pulled the reins with one hand and drew her sword with the other.

"If it is Brother Liu's people, the only way to say Brother Liu's name is to come. If it is a member of the official army, how is it good, and my sister is unwilling to show her true face. ”

The red lady was in a trance, and more than a dozen horsemen and horses had rushed to the front, and it turned out to be the men and horses of the Ming army.

"Two little ladies, wait for me to take you to Jiangnan to enjoy the blessings, it seems that you are also the beauties brought by the Liukou."

The leader smiled lewdly and kept looking at the red lady, but fortunately, Yongning's face was covered with a silk scarf, and he couldn't see it very clearly at night.

"You're looking for death!"

The Red Lady's sword pointed at the man.

The man laughed again, and a dozen horsemen had already surrounded the two of them.

The red lady had no choice but to look back at Yongning on the horse.

"Zuo Liangyu's men and horses, arrogant and immoral, do not chase and kill the rogue, but come to rob the people's daughters arbitrarily, the Ming Dynasty is full of these goods, how can he revive the great cause of the ancestors."

Yongning shouted and asked, and more than a dozen horsemen and horses were silent all of a sudden, and a few people even lowered their heads, but they still surrounded the two of them and did not get out of the way.

"I think you two are the party of the rogues, ordinary people, how do you know that we are Zuo Shuai's people?"

The leader had already jumped off the horse and walked towards the red lady.

Yongning saw that the situation was critical, and was talking about wanting to see Zuo Liangyu.

Another rush of horses' hooves came, and hundreds of horsemen and horses came from far and near, and the dozen or so horsemen surrounding Yongning had dispersed at this time and ran into the distance.

"It must be Brother Liu's people who are here, what can they do if they come, there is not necessarily Brother Liu among these people, and it is even more troublesome."

The red lady was overjoyed in her heart, and suddenly she was a little gloomy.
