Chapter 59: The Beggars in the Snow
At this time, Huixin had already arrived at the junction of Liangguang, and after changing to the style of a Shaolin monk, it did not attract the attention of the soldiers in the city.
It has been a long time since Huixin acted alone after the uprising.
Although he has never been to Yunnan, Huixin has seen the topographic map of Yunnan many times and has a deep understanding of the defense in the city.
Jingshi didn't know that Huixin had gone to the front line, and the guards also thought that Huixin was reviewing the folds in the Yangxin Palace.
There isn't much time left for Huixin now.
"Amitabha, may I ask the donor, how far is Kunming, Yunnan Province from here?"
Liangguang has become a battleground for soldiers, and now the people have all been expelled by Wu Sangui, and the city of Guangzhou seems to be very depressed.
Hui Xin clasped his hands together and asked the hotel shopkeeper for directions.
"Little master, there are too many soldiers in the city now, and Kunming City is only a day's distance from here. ”
The hotel shopkeeper saw that Huixin was dressed decently, and he didn't look like a wandering monk on his feet, so he replied cautiously.
Huixin smiled, took out a piece of silver, and said to the shopkeeper, "Open an upper room for the little monk, cook more noodles and vegetarian dishes, and reward you for the excess." ”
"Ouch, Buddha, how embarrassing is this, Xiao Er, why don't you come and entertain your guests and give this Zen master a room on the sky. ”
Huixin didn't want to settle here, but he had just come out and heard the conversation of the soldiers patrolling the city.
Unexpectedly, Wu Liuqi, the owner of the Red Flag Incense of Hongshuntang of the Heaven and Earth Society, still hid his identity and did not expose it, no wonder Chen Jinnan has not made a move on Guangzhou.
"Lone is going to meet for a while, I didn't expect this beggar in the snow to be able to mix into the general army of Liangguang, Wu Sangui didn't kill him?"
Huixin was a little surprised.
Originally, Huixin planned to push all the way to Yunnan and assassinate those generals in Wu Sangui's army, so as to avenge Chen Jinnan and others, but now when he heard Wu Liuqi's name, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
If Wu Liuqi cooperates with him, he may be able to directly subdue Yunnan.
"Zen master, this is the upper room you want, and the small one will go to the kitchen to give you food. ”
The shopkeeper was busy entertaining Huixin, since Wu Sangui invaded Liangguang, they poor people had lost a lot of financial resources, and their lives were embarrassed.
"Don't be busy, the little monk wants to ask the little second brother a few questions, if you answer to the satisfaction of the little monk, this ingot of silver is yours." ”
With a smile on his face, Huixin took out a piece of snowflake silver and threw it up and down.
"Ouch, little master, look at what you said, what you want to know, I will tell you the truth. ”
The shopkeeper has some eyesight, although his eyes never leave the silver.
Use money to open the way, this is Huixin's plan to listen to the people's feelings about Wu Liuqi, if he is indeed a talent, he can be entrusted with important tasks.
"Little master, you ask, the little one must know everything. ”
"I don't know how the war has been going recently, and now I don't know when the war will end, what is the movement of King Pingxi's side, can the little brother know?"
Xiao Er thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not good, you also saw it in the city, no one stayed here, all of them fled, we don't know how long this hotel can be opened, there is no movement in Yunnan, I heard that there are many lamas in Yunnan from nowhere, it seems that there is a Buddhist meeting." ”
This point was beyond Huixin's expectations, but he didn't expect this group of Western Regions lamas to stay in Yunnan and be angry with Wu Sangui.
Huixin pondered for a moment and said, "When the little monk passed by the door of the hotel just now, he heard the patrol soldiers talk about Wu Liuqi, the chief soldier of Guangdong, does the little second brother know about this chief soldier?"
Xiao Er didn't hesitate, opened his mouth and said, "Hey, Buddha, you are asking the right person, if you want to say that this Guangdong general soldier Lord Wu can be regarded as a generation of strange people, listen to the shopkeeper, now he is in our Guangzhou City, the highest official position, rarely appears on the street on weekdays, but exempted us from the taxes of these merchants, it can be said that the parents of the regeneration Wow, at first glance it is a good official, but Lord Wu's background is not very good, I heard that he was mixed in the beggar gang back then, and what else is called a god beggar, do you say it is strange?"
"Okay, little second brother, you go down first, this ingot of silver is for you. ”
Huixin threw the silver to Xiao Er, and she didn't ask any other questions.
Although it was just hearsay, Huixin had some curiosity and affection for this Wu Liuqi.
Now is the time for the two armies to fight, but Wu Liuqi did not raise taxes, and even more immovable, which will definitely make Wu Sangui jealous.
In the original work, Wu Sangui sent to deceive Huashan to return to Xinshu's family, and easily took off Wu Liuqi's head, and now Huixin let Feng Nandi find Gui Erxia's family early, avoiding Wu Liuqi's catastrophe, counting, he can still be regarded as his benefactor, but this matter can only be thought about in his heart.
In the evening, Huixin did not stay in Guangzhou City, but used his supernatural powers to rush back to the capital.
Now it is necessary to re-explain before those guards find out, and if necessary, under the banner of retreat, the trivial matters can be temporarily handed over to Gu Yanwu to deal with.
If it weren't for Chen Jinnan's injury, Huixin would not have gone to Yunnan alone to meet him.
In his heart, Chen Jinnan's weight is not light.
On the Mongol side, the Qing court had already confronted it head-on, after all, Xinming was in charge of money and grain, and no matter whether the spoils were high or low, all of them had to be handed over to Xinming, and the rest could be distributed to the Tartar soldiers.
There were casualties among each other, but they would not let the Qing court break their bones.
Although Prince Kang is a little familiar with military affairs, he is not a real general, but he can't stand the Qing court and some die-hard old troops, and the battle is impressive.
After Huixin briefly checked the rest of the unfinished notes, he summoned Gu Yanwu and Situ Bolei to discuss.
"Two Aiqing, the two of you were recruited late at night because Gu planned to retreat, if you have a sense of martial arts, you will trouble Prime Minister Gu Cheng to worry more about major events in the DPRK and China, and the security will be handed over to General Situ, I don't know what the two of you think?"
Gu Yanwu muttered, "Minister, take the order, I don't know how much time Your Highness will take?
Huixin smiled, "It's okay, at least seven days, and the longest is not more than half a month." ”
Stubberley stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, although rest assured, the old minister will definitely live up to the trust." ”
Seeing that the two of them were ordered to leave, Huixin then instructed the guards to inform Ah Ke and Mu Jianping's two daughters, that this time it was not that they could not take them, but Huixin planned to act alone.
Before returning to Guangzhou City, Hui Xin went to meet Chen Jinnan, after all, he was somewhat worried about Wu Liuqi's identity.
Now he has a special identity, although he will not be caught, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not run into trouble, this kind of thing is better than less.
......
"Who, who's out there. ”
Chen Jinnan wore helmet and armor, and there was still an oil lamp in the marching tent, but he saw the flames flickering, and hurriedly asked softly.
"Lao Chen, it's lonely. ”
Huixin opened the curtain of the tent and said to Chen Jinnan with a smile.
Chen Jinnan was still on guard, but after seeing that it was Huixin, he finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, it turned out to be you, you can count it back!"
Seeing that Huixin was safe and sound, Chen Jinnan's tightly held heart let go.
"To make a long story short, Lone came this time to ask you, whether Wu Liuqi is still hidden in Guangzhou City, didn't Wu Sangui find out that he was not his person?"
Chen Jinnan smiled and said, "Wu Sangui really can't find out, if you want to say that it's a coincidence, this Wu Liuqi, I don't know when I got a genealogy, and Wu Sangui got involved, but now he is entrusted with a heavy task, in charge of the two Guangxi generals, and now, the power is ruthless." ”
Without waiting for Huixin to ask, Chen Jinnan continued to preach, "Now that the minister has received a secret report, Wu Sangui is ready to personally recruit our army, and the minister has been standing still, just to wait for the opportunity to eliminate Wu Sangui's forces in one fell swoop. ”
