There was a crack of the gavel, and a wrinkled old man started talking in his drake voice.

It is said that the Barbarian King Jiligulu regained his strength, entangled one hundred thousand ape soldiers and ape generals, and called Banning King Gaowen for the fifth time. He trapped Prince Gao in the Calabash Valley and planned to burn all the heavenly soldiers with a fire.

Suddenly, military advisor Cheng Guolao came out of King Ning's formation. He waved the seven-star flag seven or forty-nine times in succession. The originally clear sky suddenly turned into dark clouds, and it was like a heavy rain...

The old storyteller is Mo Zicha, who is famous all over the country. He is talking about the newly compiled "Biography of the Heroes of Daning".

Juwufu Tea House spent a lot of money to invite the old man here. For a while, it was crowded, and people who listened to the book lined up outside the gate. They didn't care whether they could hear him or not. Just taking a look at Mr. Mo felt honored.

The private rooms with scattered tables upstairs and downstairs in the main hall were packed with guests. If you were rich, you could only sit near the table in the hall and share tables with others. Only powerful people could go to the private rooms on the second floor.

Nowadays, the Hebei Army and the Jingning Army are fighting each other. Except for the officers, all the private rooms are military officers. There is only a girl dressed in pink sitting in a small room next to it.

The girl looked intoxicated, with a smile on her lips. She half held a vermilion knot in her left hand and would put it in front of her nose and sniff it from time to time. She was not attracted by the fascinating storytelling at all.

There was a letter spread out on the table in front of her. It seemed that this infatuation was caused by the letter.

...I have been practicing for several days without leaving my armor. Although it is harder, thinking about my sister is still warm. It seems that most of the fatigue is gone. I just think about the fact that we will fight with each other again soon, and I feel melancholy! ...

...However, there will be a day of victory and defeat. Victory and defeat are also sorrowful. When the city is destroyed, I wonder if the girl can have a safe place to avoid disaster? When defeated, I don't know how long life or death will be?...

... I miss her every day, and I don’t know when I will see her beautiful face. Three days later, during the Dragon Boat Festival, I will go to Liuwu on the north bank of Shangxiahai. Will I be accompanied by a beautiful woman?

...I am sending you a fragrant knot I made myself with this letter, I hope you don’t find it too vulgar.

The tall and straight words are like the tall and straight body of the person in the dream. Although he never had the chance to see him again, Zhu Zhu had imagined Miao Cheng to be extremely majestic.

Half a month after "Yunyou Taoist" left, the first secret letter was delivered to Zhu Zhu through an informant. It was signed "Miao Cheng" and the letter was full of polite words.

However, these polite words were like a jar of locust honey in Zhu Zhu's heart. She immediately wrote a reply and threw the waste paper all over the floor. She thought the words were ugly and the writing was poor. After struggling for half a night, she finally only wrote a thin line.

It's a thin piece of paper, but it's full of polite words.

I regretted it only after I gave the first reply to the informant. I was afraid that Miao Cheng would be cold, afraid of being picky, afraid that I would not understand my feelings. I was worried all day long about what to do if there was no reply, and how to seek help from Taoist Yunyou again.

Five days later, I received a reply from Miao Cheng. I was so happy that the little girl rewarded the informant with a large ingot of official silver. From then on, the two sides started talking in writing.

Zhu Zhu was immersed in his children's affair for a while, completely forgetting that his father, the Marquis of Yueyang and the lord of Jiqing City, Zhu Zhenyou, was using the military and civilian power of Hebei Province to confront the master of his beloved Luxuan Shannan.

Suddenly, there was a huge round of applause in the building. It turned out that today's "Prince Gao's Five Captures of the Barbarian Kings" was finished. Zhu Zhu came back to her senses, saw that the sky was getting dark, and got up to go back home.

She came to Juwufu not to listen to books, but to receive and deliver letters secretly here. The important matter was over, and she was thinking about how to reply to the letter all the way without reading it, and suddenly bumped into someone's arms.

When I looked up, I saw that he was a nobleman in prairie attire. I couldn't tell which tribe he belonged to. He was just complaining.

Zhu Zhu walked around him, thinking that Tequ nobles were always appearing in the city recently. It was said that Tequ refugees outside the city were fleeing south in groups. I wonder what disaster happened to the north?

Is it related to Prince Jing?

Is the lover going to conquer Mobei?

In my wild thoughts, when I looked up again, I was already outside the house.

After entering the side door, she put down her thoughts and felt hungry. It was time for dinner when she came back. Before returning to the boudoir, Zhu Zhu put the letter away and went to the dining hall.

Her mother was waiting at the table. Dinner was already prepared. Zhu Zhu smiled and called her mother: "Isn't Daddy here yet?"

Mother of Pearl said: "Your father is talking to your Uncle Shi in the front living room. I don't know if he has finished what he said. You go for a run. When it's almost done, call him over for dinner. The food won't get cold in a while."

Zhu Zhu turned to the back door of the front hall and happened to hear two people talking in front of the curtain. One was his father, and the other was Uncle Shi, who had been a guest at home before. It was said that he was a close friend of his father when he was young, and he was quite generous.

She originally wanted to go in and treat the two of them to dinner, but a string of sensitive words came into her ears, forcing her light steps to stop.

Zhu Zhenyou's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. He asked in a deep voice: "Brother Fang Shan, what do you think of the situation over there with the rebel army?"

Shi Lixu said: "Huang Mingzhu of Zitang can be said to have flown onto the branches and turned into a phoenix, leading the valley of Jingni to stay behind. Half of the valleys in Luxuan Mountain were not his orders! Fortunately, Hongyuan City and Queyan City are still in the hands of the imperial court. If

To help Jingni, he has to go to Qixing of Xuanshan Mountain!"

Zhu Zhenyou said: "The Qixing of Xiangshan Mountain are all narrow paths, and no more than two people can walk at a time. If he really dares to come out of Qixing, I dare not say that he can't pass the flying birds of Nansi Xing!"

Shi Lixu said: "This is very good. Qixing is difficult to reach, and Hongyuan and Qianshan are heavily guarded. The valley exits are blocked from the south to the north. I don't think they can do anything."

Zhu Zhenyou said: "Having said that, after all, Jingni has so much help, and Jiqing's side is also facing the pressure of the valley. People are condescending and occupy all the favorable land and people, and here, hehe, there is also

I don’t know what Chief Assistant Zheng’s plan is!”

Shi Lixu enlightened: "Zhong Xuan has too many things to worry about, so he has to save the immediate situation first. The old Shun Baiyue was powerful and threatened by 200,000 allied troops. Once Heban is not defended, the enemy troops will drive straight down the Jiaojiang River.

Zhong Xuan is in danger."

Zhu Zhenyou said angrily: "Oh, he is afraid of being attacked down the river, but isn't he afraid of the East China Sea Fleet going up the river?"

Shi Lixu smiled and said: "Yueyang is really good at blocking the air. Don't you know which one is lighter and which one is heavier when comparing the East China Sea Fleet and the Jingning Army?"

Zhu Zhenyou became even more angry: "Are you just using me, Old Zhu, as a backstop when you co-write? Why did he yell at me without even giving a shit to Qian Jing?"

"Who told you to be Zhu Zhenyoulai!"

"Hey, go to hell Zhu Zhenyou, the soldiers can hardly contain him!"

Shi Lixu said: "Actually, the five towns in Hebei still have the consciousness of being like each other. Not to mention Yanyunhai, the other three towns are following Yueyang's lead. As long as you, brother, can hold your ground, Jingni will be able to do it for a while.

There is no way to break through the silence."

Zhu Zhenyou snorted.

Shi Lixu continued: "To put it bluntly, even if Jingni takes Hebei, there is still the Yanluo River lying in front of him. The rivers and natural dangers are vertical and horizontal. Yueyang will not be able to see the importance, right?"

"If you ask oxen to plow the land and don't let them eat grass, how can you not even provide food for 30,000 soldiers and horses?"

Shi Lixu smiled: "It's not impossible to figure it out, it's just..."

"But what?"

Shi Lixu looked around: "Is it convenient to talk at home?"

Zhu Zhenyou said: "Brother Fang Shan, what are you talking about? This is not a government office. I am a member of my own family. What's the big deal?"

Shi Lixu looked around again and saw that Zhu Zhu had already hid outside the threshold of the back door.

"I've heard it too. It's said that the prime minister of ours has a 'beautiful' hidden in the golden house."

He used the word "jiao" in a strange way, which completely surprised Zhu Zhenyou. "Wen Jiao?"

"It's her!"

"She didn't..."

Shi Lixu said in a strange tone: "Why can't Hu Meizi survive?"

Zhu Zhenyou spat fiercely: "It's really a perfect egg that flies can't bite. They have the same stink, and they're all from the same breed!"

Shi Lixu added: "Sneaking the chicken and touching the dog!"

Zhu Zhenyou said angrily: "Brother Fang Shan, could you have imagined that this person is Zheng Cong, the peacemaker in front of the late emperor? You really know people, but don't know people's hearts!"

"The fox's tail can't be held back after all!"

"But then again, what does his secret possession of beautiful women have to do with whether he will be paid or not?"

Shi Lixu said, "Don't you know Yueyang clearly?"

"Of course I don't know!"

"real?"

Zhu Zhenyou said irritably: "Oh, my brother Fang Shan, when did you become such a mother-in-law?"

Shi Lixu smiled and said mysteriously: "In the fourteenth year of Huanglong..."

Zhu Zhenyou was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and cursed fiercely: "His uncle, just because of a gift for being promoted?"

"A woman has a heart, brother. That year, officials from all over the country were vying to give her lavish gifts. I even gave her five loads of treasures. It would be better for you to give her ten kilograms of dried magnolias. It's really yours!"

Zhu Zhenyou sneered and said harshly: "This country is going to die. It's going to die. You actually let a bitch influence the political and military affairs!"

Shi Lixu hissed: "Yueyang, please keep your voice down. I'm just hearing this and can't do it accurately."

"It's groundless, there's such a rotten egg, why are you afraid that there won't be blowflies?"

Shi Lixu laughed for a while and said, "Let's not talk about these worries for the time being. I'll give you some reliable good news for my brother."

"Brother, this place has almost become a place where father does not love mother and father does not care about mother, but there is still good news!"

"Listen to me! Although the imperial court has not sent land aid to the north, there is reliable intelligence that the old man has recruited a navy from overseas. Just wait, there will be news from Beihai soon!"

"Navy? Overseas?"

Shi Lixu nodded.

"What's the origin? How many ships are there, enough to fill the teeth of the East China Sea Fleet?"

"I heard it's a large fleet!"

"His grandma has money to hire sea aid, but if he doesn't have money to give it to Hebei, screw his grandma and ask his sea aid to fight. I'm done with it!"

Shi Lixu gave some more words of advice, but Zhu Zhenyou was really upset and said: "If you don't mention these things, they will only cause trouble for others. Dinner is already here, let's drink two glasses of wine. Brother Fang Shan just mentioned the Dragon Boat Festival."

Brothers, we will take care of things going to and from Shanghai tomorrow."

"Dad, Uncle Shi, dinner is cooked. Mom invites you two to come over!" Zhu Zhu took the opportunity to jump into the living room.

The little girl's stiff smile could barely hide her heavy thoughts, and that sentence was all in her mind.
Chapter completed!
