On December 27, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, in a large tent in a military camp outside Hanyang Prefecture.

Two girls of fourteen or fifteen years old were kneeling on the ground and shivering. All kinds of silks and satins and colorful dresses were scattered everywhere around them.

Gao Lei, who was sitting aside, rubbed her temples for a long time. She wanted to say something more, but finally held back.

She has already broken out and doesn't want to continue.

Although Gao Lei is a bit cold and arrogant, her temper has always been good, and she doesn't like to make people angry.

But she just lost control, and she lost control very seriously.

Suddenly, the thick curtain of the big tent was opened a crack without any greeting, and then Zhao Lanyue came in from the outside with a confused look on her face.

"What's wrong, sister?" Zhao Lanyue asked eagerly as soon as she entered the door.

But she got no answer.

Gao Lei's anger has not dissipated, and her face is still pale.

After carefully scanning the mess in the tent and the two girls who were trying not to cry, Zhao Lanyue sighed softly.

Carefully standing on tiptoes to avoid the fine silk and satin scattered on the ground, Zhao Lanyue squatted down and gently took Gao Lei's hand and said, "Who made you angry? I'll go and give it to you.

revenge."

"What can you do? Who can stop him?" Gao Lei raised his head with a wry smile on his face.

It was impossible for her to keep showing off in front of Zhao Lanyue.

"He's here again? Did he ask them to deliver something to you again?" Zhao Lanyue asked in confirmation.

"Um!"

Gao Lei's answer was full of helplessness.

Zhao Lanyue frowned slightly, turned to the two girls on the ground in displeasure and said: "Why are you two so ignorant! It's not like you don't know that the lady doesn't like these, so why do you dare to bring them in? What do you want?

Is it a crime?"

"Young master Fang will definitely let the slaves into the young lady's tent. The slaves will not dare to respond, and the slaves will have no choice." A girl replied in fear.

It was good that the girl didn't answer, but when she did, Zhao Lanyue became angry.

She was even more dissatisfied: "Since Fang Wuke has given you to Miss Gao, you are Miss Gao's slaves, why do you still listen to Fang Wuke? Can't you tell who is your master now?

?”

Since Fang Wuke met Gao Lei by chance that day, he came three or four times on the way east in the name of replenishing military supplies for Zhao Jin's troops, and tried to think of ways to talk to Gao Lei again and again.

Zuo Liangyu's army entered Hanyang Mansion on the 16th, and as soon as Zhao Jin stationed outside Hanyang County on the 17th, these two girls were forcibly sent over by Fang Wuke to serve as maids for Gao Lei.

He said that he couldn't bear to hear that Gao Lei didn't have a woman who took good care of him.

Then Fang Wuke came more frequently, and every time he came, he asked the two girls to deliver things to Gao Lei's tent.

Everything about food, clothing, and necessities is impeccable and refined.

However, it is said that these two girls have been here for ten days, so they should know that Gao Lei is serving them, and Wuke, the other party, is not interested in these so-called good things at all.

For this reason, Gao Lei did not even allow the two girls to approach her tent, let alone bring Fang Wuke's things into her tent.

Gao Lei's attitude was clear and resolute.

Today, the two girls probably forced their way in again, finally irritating Gao Lei, who had been suppressing his anger.

"The slaves don't want to make the young lady unhappy, let alone make the young lady unhappy. But Mr. Fang said that if they can't be sent in, they will break the legs of our father and mother..."

"Stop talking nonsense, have you lived enough?"

One girl responded with a vibrato, probably halfway through her sentence, when she was interrupted in horror by another girl.

"Aren't you afraid that we will break your legs?" Zhao Lanyue sneered back, without any sympathy at all.

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare."

"Slaves really have no choice."

The two girls whispered in fear.

At this time, Gao Lei let out a long sigh, and then said impatiently: "Get out! Get out."

But she did not say what to do with the clothes and silk on the floor.

After hearing this, the two girls looked at each other for a few times, got up in relief and hurriedly retreated.

"Sister, their words can't be taken seriously. Judging from their looks, they might be deliberately trying to be miserable!" Zhao Lanyue reminded.

But Gao Lei was not surprised at all. She said melancholy: "So what? They still only listen to those who have no knowledge."

Zhao Lanyue was also a little discouraged.

But soon she became angry again and said: "Zhao Jin is the same. We can just send these two women back. Why do we have to stay in the camp? Is it so difficult to make our attitude clear?"

Regarding the issue of Fang Wuke, the trouble-loving Zhao Lanyue had never made a joke about Gao Lei. She knew that such a joke was inappropriate.

Therefore, she has always been very dissatisfied with Zhao Jin's attitude.

"It's not easy for Zhao Jin! It's not like he has never retreated. But Fang Wuke has a completely disrespectful attitude and always tries to criticize his uncle Fang Guoan. Zhao Jin can't fall out with Fang Wuke over this matter.

Come on!" Gao Lei said leisurely.

As a former junior executive, Gao Lei can actually understand the difficulty of Zhao Jin's support, which is why she has always been more restrained before. Especially along the way, they have seen too much pain, and she doesn't want to let it go because of herself.

Everyone takes more risks.

"You! You are only thinking about others. Alas! I don't know where this kid Li Ping has gone. If he were here and had a bad temper, he would probably elope with you." Zhao Lanyue finally couldn't help but joke.

However, Gao Lei didn't pay attention to Zhao Lanyue's joke. Instead, she said even more lonely: "Yes! I wonder where Li Ping and the others have gone? Will he come to us again? Is he okay?"

Zhao Lanyue was a little stunned.

When she discovered that she was in trouble, she quickly pretended to put her mind on the ground.

Then, her eyes widened involuntarily, and her hands couldn't help but rummage through the clothes and silks on the floor, picking them up.

"This batch of stuff is pretty good. It's much better than the previous ones. The patterns and needlework are all top-notch. I've never seen many of them before." Zhao Lanyue said with some surprise.

She has obviously done some research on this.

"The joy they robbed in Wuchang even dared to rob the family of Wang Yangji, who came to labor the army to supervise the army and participate in politics. They even took away their daughters. There is nothing they can't grab." Gao Lei looked disapproving.

After Zuo Liangyu's army arrived in Hankou, he sent a letter to Wang Yangji, who was in charge of military supervision and political participation in Wuchang Fuchang, expressing his willingness to garrison in Wuchang and asking for military pay. For this reason, Wang Yangji went to Hankou in person to meet Zuo Liangyu with money and materials from the labor force.

However, Wang Yangji did not leave until he had finished working in the morning. In the afternoon, the Zuo army crossed the river on his own and looted everywhere. It happened that Wang Yangji's wife took her daughter to go back to her hometown to visit relatives. The Zuo army not only robbed the mother and daughter of their belongings, but also robbed Wang Yangji.

Miss.

Because the incident was so big and unseemly, it spread quickly.

However, it also shows that Zuo Liangyu's army has gone completely crazy along the way, and they have already lost their bottom line and any worries.

Zhao Lanyue's little surprise was instantly chilled by Gao Lei's words.

No matter how good something is, if it is stained with blood, it will make people disgusted and disgusted.

Zhao Lanyue said sarcastically: "It's better to send someone to Zhao Jin's place! Otherwise, it will be misunderstood. Those two little girls are obviously spies."

"There's no rush. If you like, you can watch here for a while, and then help me find someone to send to Zhao Jin. I'll go for a walk by the lake and have some quiet time." As Gao Lei said this, he stood up and walked towards Zhao Jin.

Walking outside the tent, Zhao Lanyue didn't give Zhao Lanyue a chance to reply.

Gao Lei's ideas have always been right.

Hanyang Prefecture is located about 500 miles downstream of Chengtian Fucheng (Zhongxiang). It is the smallest prefecture in Huguang. There are only two counties, Hanyang and Hanchuan, and the prefecture governs Hanyang County. The total area is about one-tenth of Chengtian Prefecture.

Hanyang County is close to the estuary of the Yangtze River, and the county seat is on the south side of the Han River. Hanchuan County is to the west, and the county seat is on the north side of the Han River.

The Han River from the east flows into the Yangtze River from the south on the north side of Hanyang County. Hanyang County and Wuchang Fucheng (Jiangxia County), both close to the Yangtze River, face each other across the Yangtze River.

Because Hanyang County is located in the area between the Han River and the Yangtze River, and is mostly flat land, there are many lakes in the territory, especially around the county town that is close to the two rivers. There are many large and small lakes.

The area where Zhao Jin's troops were stationed was actually chosen next to a large lake.

Standing on a rock protruding into the lake, despite the cold wind blowing and the soothing light of the lake, Gao Lei's mood could not be calm for a long time.

She is very troubled by her current situation.

Gao Lei realized that Fang Wuke's intentions towards Sima Zhao that he had revealed to her were likely to be a disaster.

She is just a young lady in distress, an orphan without any family. An outsider like Zhao Jin has no sufficient reason to stop a man of status and status like Fang Wuke from pursuing or even demanding her.

In particular, Fang Wuke has extraordinary abilities. It is said that he has a very good personal relationship with Zhao Jin's immediate superior, Zuo Menggeng, and there is really not much that Zhao Jin can do.

And then they were still in the midst of such an army of beasts, and even an official as big as overseeing the army and participating in politics was not taken seriously, so who was she?

Her situation is much more troublesome than Zhao Lanyue's original situation.

No matter what, Zhao Lanyue and Ming Media are blocking such a marriage. With the support of family branches and reputation, they can have time and capital to deal with it.

But what about her?

Thinking of this, Gao Lei felt very depressed.

She couldn't help but think of Li Ping again.
