Chapter 91 All the way to the west

In the small courtyard, the moonlight was shy, and the candlelight was dotted. In the stone pavilion above the pool, on the weak stove, mountain spring water was boiling on a slow fire. Wang Yuling sat opposite Zhu Gan with a solemn expression, her white jade hands lightly raised,

Washing your hands and washing your face is a complicated and frustrating process.

Zhu Gan looked at her pious appearance, her little face was as white as jade, sacred and inviolable. Such a noble woman was beautiful no matter what she did, and her pious and dedicated look at this time was even more like poison.

Generally attracts people.

Shengsheng swallowed his words that destroyed this beauty into his stomach, and could only wait helplessly. Finally, the water boiled, and the procedures were completed. His heart calmed down, and he stared at Wang Yuling intently at such a beautiful picture.

, the more I taste it, the happier I feel.

At this time, even he himself did not expect that his heart was constantly changing.

Smelling the fragrant tea in front of me, it’s the right shade. This is just the most ordinary green tea, but it brews with the best flavor. It’s probably because of the beauty!

Zhu Gan didn't know how to taste tea, he just felt that everything was beautiful. He picked up the tea and took a sip. It was a bit bitter in the mouth, and then there was only a sweet aftertaste in his mouth, but Zhu Gan felt this bitter taste.

There is no difference between the burnt taste and a big gulp.

It looked like Zhu Bajie was eating ginseng fruit, and he couldn't help but lament that he wasted a good thing.

Wang Yuling gradually got used to Zhu Qian's appearance. She had previously investigated and found nothing strange about Zhu Qian, so she had no choice but to give up. She went to great lengths to brew a pot of tea, just to test Zhu Qian. Unexpectedly,

This guy still looks like a scoundrel, with no temperament whatsoever about him.

The voice was clear and gentle, like the ding-dong of a spiritual spring: "Drinking tea actually refers to the state of mind. It is just a practice of introspection. Swallowing it in large gulps is also a state of mind."

"Yes, it is a state. It is a state that is both shameless and shameless. It is also a state that has the world in mind and accommodates everything." Zhu Gan smiled and said with a smile without any embarrassment.

Wang Yuling raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Qian in surprise, then lowered her head to sip the fragrant tea. She suddenly felt enlightened. No matter whether this guy was really smart or fake, one thing was correct. Tea can cultivate the mind. If it is true,

If you blindly pursue imitation, you will just fall behind. If you have the courage to live happily, that is the upper level of the realm.

Zhu Gan almost fainted at Wang Yuling's charming look. He only sighed at how beautiful this woman was. But at this time, he was not so free and easy. He did not dare to ask what the look meant and kept silent.

Tasting tea.

After the first drink, Wang Yuling said softly: "When do you plan to leave this place of right and wrong?"

Zhu Gan lay on his back on the armchair, relaxed and without a trace of surprise. For a smart person like himself, especially such a smart and beautiful beauty, Zhu Gan was willing to answer questions, so that he could show that he was smarter.

He said lazily: "We haven't even taken Jiujiang City, so there's no rush, no rush! Besides, I've heard about the beauty of Jinling for a long time. Now that I'm here, how could I not go and take a look."

Wang Yuling was surprised that Luzhou City had not been taken, but he actually dared to divide his troops to capture Jiujiang. She felt that Zhu Qian's thoughts were wild and unconstrained, and it was definitely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. However, one thing was clear in her heart, that is, Zhu Qian would not

If he is entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, then where is his goal? To fight back, turn back to the northwest, or continue south to Fujian. These are mountainous places suitable for separatist rule.

But obviously these places are not suitable for him now. The northwest is droughty all year round, and it is impossible to separate the country and raise troops. If he goes to Fujian, where sea trade smuggling is rampant, and it is forbidden by scholar-bureaucrat interest groups, and others are never allowed to touch easily, then there is only one option.

The land of Bashu.

Separately rule Bashu, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when retreating. The land of Bashu has been known as the land of abundance since ancient times. Nowadays, although farmers occasionally come to Sichuan to cause trouble, it does not harm their vitality. They occupy the land of Bashu, as long as they have enough strength.

After that, we left the Pass and entered Hanzhong, then captured the Central Plains, cut off the Ming army's retreat, and then attacked Bei Jing, which would immediately create a confrontation between the north and the south.

You must know that once such a situation is formed, a new political power in the north will definitely start a prairie fire. Since ancient times, it has swept across the world from north to south, with the exception of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. However, those weapons and cannons have already

In the Yuan Dynasty, the combat effectiveness was enough to make up for the gap with the cavalry. In addition, the Yuan Dynasty was decayed.

If you really go to Bashu to accumulate strength, because dominating the world is just around the corner.

After thinking about these joints, he said softly: "It's thousands of miles away from Bashu. Is it really just like this?"

Zhu Gan stared at Wang Yuling's beautiful eyes, suddenly smiled happily and said, "Are you caring about me?"

Wang Yuling looked at Zhu Qian calmly, with no waves in her eyes, like an iceberg that lasted ten thousand years, which would never melt easily. She said calmly: "Well, I guess so!"

"This is not funny at all." Zhu Gan looked at her expressionless look. Although she was beautiful, he always had the urge to tear away the stiff expression on her face. Why can't he smile more? If she smiled

, she will definitely be more beautiful! It’s a pity that I don’t have this luck.

"Remember, if you arrive in Jinling City alone and go to Wuyi Lane to find a man named Bashan, you probably know how we contacted each other! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After drinking tea, Wang Yuling glanced at Shi

The tea set on the table sighed slightly, stood up and quickly disappeared.

The beauty was gone, and Zhu Qian felt a lot more relaxed. He rubbed his stiff face and kept making various weird expressions. At this time, he might be more like a young man than a high-ranking emperor.

Or a red-coated bandit leader with an expressionless and majestic face.

"Why have the people in Caobang changed so much? Why didn't this female tyrannosaurus take action in the first place? Could it be that there was some kind of crisis in Caobang, and there must be monsters if something goes wrong!" Zhu Gan said comfortably.

As he stood, his hand gently rubbed his chin. He hadn't shaved his beard for a while, so he didn't know if his skills were rusty.

"Huh! Caobang, such a huge force can only be controlled by oneself." Zhu Gan suddenly sat up straight, and his temperament changed drastically in an instant. There was no trace of carelessness, and those deep eyes

Inside, the light is flashing, and I don’t know what I am thinking about.

The Red Army has captured more than 30 prefectures and counties, large and small. Wherever the Red Army's red-blooded sword flag passes, everyone is frightened, but they have never heard of what will happen after the Red Army encounters stubborn resistance.

The massacre of the city also filled many county magistrates and prefects with the courage to resist.

However, it is obvious that the red-coated army is just picking at the weak persimmons. If they encounter such an army huddled behind the city wall, they will never fight head-on with them. However, once the two armies encounter each other outside the city, it will definitely be a matter of life or death.

After collecting a huge amount of money from more than 30 states and counties, Zhu Qian became satisfied. As for his trip to Nanjing, it was just a smoke bomb set off by himself. The city of Nanjing has high walls and thick walls.

, it is heavily guarded, let alone bombarding it with artillery, even if it is blown up with explosives, it may not be easy to blow it up.

Now that the city of Nanjing is exposed under its own iron heel, if you don't take a trip to the Purple Mountain and take a look at the Qinhuai River through the ages, you will be in such a bad situation.

So, Zhu Gan had just recovered from his so-called "wounds", and he led his people towards Nanjing City. At this time, the 10,000 red-coated army had been besieging the city for more than ten days, but the city was still a bustling scene, without being affected at all.

With a little influence, you can hear the sound of pipa and guzheng on the Qinhuai River every night.

Regarding the Red Army outside the city, it's not that the Dukes of Nanjing don't want to do anything, but because they have too many concerns. The power in Nanjing City is being pressed step by step by Zhang Yan, and now as long as

If they dare to make even the slightest move, it may cause drastic changes in the DPRK, so they have to wait and wait to see what happens. However, there are also people who are secretly building momentum and preparing to gather troops.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the British family has been extremely prominent. Even the powerful Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian had nothing to do with this family and have always maintained their prominent position.

The eighth generation of the British was so public that he was granted a title in the third year of Chongzhen. In less than three years, he was now the governor of Nanjing, in charge of all the troops in Nanjing. However, this man was arrogant on a daily basis, but behind his back he was...

He is a master who never lets go of eagles when he sees rabbits, so although the relationship with the six tribes in Nanjing is peaceful and harmonious on the surface, there are undercurrents underneath, which makes people wary.

He is also very aware of how bad the situation is now, so in the bustling city of Nanjing, several gates are tightly closed and no one is allowed to get close, for fear that there will be thieves. When the red army enters the city, they lose their courage.

The officers and soldiers will certainly not be able to stand in any way.

So despite his daytime glory, after returning home, the delicate and charming concubine and maidservant in the house no longer have the interest to pamper him. Even his favorite pig's trotters feel boring, and even at night he will be a little bit bigger.

I was startled awake by the sound, fearing that I would hear the loud shouts of killing in the city as soon as I woke up.

It was late at night, and he was holding two charming little girls in his arms. He reached into the little girl's clothes with one hand, pinched the well-developed rhinoceros, and kneaded them gently in his sleep.

These two little girls were delicate and lovely, and what I didn't expect were twin sisters. Apparently, they had just been broken by him tonight. They felt uncomfortable for a while, and there were wet tears on their beautiful little faces, but they didn't.

Dare to cry loudly, those big eyes stared at the top of the gauze tent with a dull look, as if there was a door there, a door that could save them from the sea of ​​misery.

There is a long-term drought in the north. They fled with their parents. Their parents died of illness while fleeing. The two sisters finally arrived in Nanjing and took refuge with their uncle. What they didn't expect was that the uncle's family had a dark heart.

, actually sold her two sisters into a brothel. Such a strange item caused a small frenzy at the time.

Many scholars spent a lot of money just to see the appearance of her two sisters. Some wealthy businessmen spent a lot of money and vowed to buy the two sisters. In the end, they fell into the hands of the British, who only wanted to know their future.

Feeling gloomy.

Phew! Bang!

An extremely piercing scream rang out from the city. It was just the red-coated army that had been besieging the city. Finally, it was the first to attack. The red-coated cannon spurted out a huge tongue of flame, and the shells fell into the city in an instant, scaring countless people and running away with their heads in their hands.

Bang! There was a sudden explosion in the sky. This happened to be a busy city. Countless people raised their heads and stared blankly at the sky. It was not that they were frightened, but that they did not know how to dodge.

The pieces of paper fell like snowflakes and fell for a long time. Everyone picked them up and took a look: "A Letter to the Compatriots in the World". In a few hundred words, what the Red Army wanted to say was stated simply and clearly.

, clearly, but it also made many scholars despise it. Do you have the nerve to show this kind of ungrateful thing to others?

A thief is indeed a thief, but this thief is fierce enough and innovative enough!

The British public was also frightened awake by the shrill sound. Hearing the cannon in the distance, he got up from the bed and yelled angrily: "Damn it, why didn't anyone warn me in advance when the Red Army attacked the city?

Have they entered the city now? People are coming! People are coming quickly! Where are they all dead?"

"Master, master, don't be angry! I'm going to check now." A person ran in from outside the door. This man was a little thin, and he was also a little tall. The contrast between the two was sharp.

, it feels like he is like a bamboo pole.

After the man left, Zhang Zhiji sat on the edge of the bed, with a very ugly face, and said coldly: "You are all going to die, huh! All of you are going to die. In two days, I will be the biggest in Nanjing.

The Donglin Party is nothing more than that."

At this moment, he wasn't as dandy as I usually see him. His eyes were cold to the core, but also sly. Just like an old fox, he walked to the table, picked up a pen and quickly wrote a letter, and then sealed it with fire paint.

I got up and thought about it but didn't ask anyone to come in.

When the two women behind him saw his expression, they shrank in fright. They hugged each other tightly, as if this could keep each other safe. Looking at the rabbit-like expressions of the two women, Zhang Zhiji laughed and quickly

He took off his clothes, revealing the ugly and shriveled thing, walked onto the bed and pointed it at the two of them.

He said proudly: "My peerless sword needs a beautiful woman to accompany it with wine before it can come out of the body again and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Come! You two little darlings, let me make a great show again."

After saying this, the two women did not allow any objection. He grabbed their heads with one hand and pushed them down with skillful and sophisticated movements.

"Master! Master!" Seeing the resistance of the two girls, the fire in Zhang Zhiji's heart was suddenly ignited. He liked this kind of flavor. The more he resisted, the more the fire burned in his heart. But the next moment,
To be continued...
