Chapter 298 Ben Hou only eats fish maw

Mrs. Xing's words made her husband Gao Jie sit in awkwardly, without feeling any shame in front of her subordinates and outsiders.

This is the uniqueness of Xing's family. He is good at controlling his husband, and even Li Zicheng was obedient to her back then.

"The general is a straight person, and your marquis is even more straight person. If my husband doesn't surrender, he will be a life-and-death situation. How can he be kind to a woman?"

Mrs. Xing glanced at Li Chengdong and Hu Maozhen, and then said to Li Qifeng: "It's better to do this. Please ask the general to go back and tell your marquis for a hard time, and then said that it was my question. Li Chuang is now defeated by Manzhou and Wu Sangui, and the north is no longer Shun's. In this way, did the so-called Dashun Army Marquis have the intention of abandoning Shun and returning to Ming? If this is the intention, my husband is willing to follow the marquis."

Xing did not say what if he did not have this intention, and there was no need to say such words.

Li Qifeng looked at Gao Jie, and Gao Jie nodded in a muffled voice: "Madam means what I mean."

"good!"

Li Qifeng stood up happily, feeling that this problem was not big. Before he came, he heard that the governor had the intention to support the Ming vassal. Whether it was Lianming, Yongming, or the governor had other intentions, it was not a bad thing to contact the Ming Dynasty forces at present. After all, Li Zicheng withdrew from the capital and his power contracted violently.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Hu Maozhen said it was better to go back tomorrow. He also said that there were many local gangsters here and that it was dangerous to walk at night.

"With you, Hu Shuangfeng, you can walk on the night road no matter how dangerous it is, General Gao. Madam, Lao Li, I will say goodbye first!"

Li Qifeng was the general of Gansu town in the Ming Dynasty, and was one level higher than Gao Jie, the deputy general. Now he is strong and weak in Huai, so he does not have to pretend to be polite and wronged himself in front of Gao Jie.

"Shuangfeng, you bring someone to escort General Li. If something happens to the general, come and see him." Mrs. Xing said this without any woman's expression, and she was like a female general in the army.

"Don't worry, madam!"

Hu Maozhen focused on the key points and escorted Li Qifeng to the village at night, summoned a hundred cavalry led by Li Qifeng, and each carried torches toward the Yutai.

Yutai is actually less than forty miles away from Zhailiji. Although it is difficult to walk at night and the road is muddy, the crowd still arrived at Yutai when it is almost dawn.

Hu Maozhen was inconvenient to see Li Qifeng for reasons unknown to both sides, so he waited not far from Yutai Town.

Here, the Huai Army not only had elite cavalry running north and south, but also had endless military tents and flags, which directly proved that what Li Qifeng said about the Huai Army's large-scale advance north was not a false statement.

Li Qifeng was afraid that Hu Maozhen would misunderstand in each department and asked the officers of the cavalry to take people to guard him and go to see the governor.

Lu Si and his generals studied the situation of Shandong prefectures, prefectures and counties at night. He slept very late. Before going to bed, he looked at the big bell that had been with the army. It was 1:35 a.m.

When Li Qifeng arrived, Lu Si had already gotten up and slept for less than five hours. He was brushing his teeth with a toothbrush as he was in his previous life.

The toothbrush is made of pig's hair, without toothpaste, and rinse your mouth with fine salt.

When Li Qifeng swallowed a big mouthful of water and was "gulu" in his throat, he came.

Lu Si hurriedly spit out the harvested water, wiped his face with a towel while asking Li Qifeng if there was any news, otherwise he would not have been on the way late at night and would have arrived at dawn.

"The governor is really as expected. Gao Jie's army is indeed in Shandong, not far from us."

"Didn't you eat breakfast? Let's go, and say while eating."

Lu Si threw the towel into the basin, pulled Li Qifeng up and walked into the tent. After walking a few steps, he asked Li Qifeng where his subordinates were and asked someone to deliver food to them.

Li Qifeng hurriedly said that Gao Jie's general Hu Maozhen was on the periphery of Yutai.

“Why didn’t you bring it?”

Lu Si hurriedly asked someone to get some food to Hu Maozhen and the others.

In the tent, Lu Si's nephew Lu Yiliang had just brought in a pot of porridge, and there were a few pancakes, a bowl of pickles, and a braised carp on the table.

"What did Gao Jie say?"

Lu Si personally served Li Qifeng a bowl of porridge and gave him a pancake. This moved Li Qifeng. He immediately told the situation and recounted the question of Xing's family.

After hearing this, Lu Si nodded, and did not say anything about what Xing asked, but instead asked another question.

"I heard that Xing was Li Zicheng's wife in the past and she looked good. What does Lao Li think? What a beauty?"

The sound of "Old Li" made Li Qifeng even more happy, saying that Mrs. Xing was indeed outstanding in appearance and heroic spirit, and was beyond the reach of ordinary beauties.

"How old is Xing's family?"

Lu Si picked up the porridge bowl and blew it. It was freshly cooked and it was a little hot.

Li Qifeng thought for a while and said, "Looking at her thirties."

"Oh, OK."

What's so good about it? Lu Si didn't say anything, smiled, took a piece of fish belly with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then said, "Go and tell Xing that we only eat fish belly."

Li Qifeng didn't understand that eating fish only had fish belly, which had something to do with Mrs. Xing's question about whether she abandoned Shunguiming, but after taking a break, he rushed back to the village with Hu Maozhen.

When the group arrived, Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing had already arrived, and they obviously attached great importance to the Huai Army's persuasion of surrender.

"My marquis said that he only eats fish belly."

Li Qifeng said truthfully.

Mrs. Xing pondered for a moment and said, "General, please tell the marquis that my husband is willing to surrender, but whether his family members are in charge of their place in Yangzhou will be settled. My husband must discuss with the generals before he can decide."

Gao Jie added that his troops were temporarily stationed in the village and asked the Huai Army to provide some food.

After receiving Li Qifeng's return, Lu Si asked Li Qifeng to arrange to allocate 500 s of military rations to Gao Jie's army to support him without saying a word.

Two or three days after that, Lu Si did not ask Gao Jie if he wanted to hand over the "hostages". He was only busy with the matter of going north by the Huai Army. He took the time to take the personal soldiers to catch fish, and he also specially sent a few big catfish to Xing.

In addition, he tried every means to send Xing some women's supplies, such as rouge, water powder, local snacks, gold and silver jewelry, etc., and even had some things to do, which was really careful.

Princess Changning from the Zhou Palace was also received.

Compared with the Xing family, the number of gifts Princess Changning received was not calculated in days, but in hours. About two hours, someone would definitely send Changning various gifts at the order of the Grand Governor of the Huai Army, and there was no shortage of food and drink.

This made Chang Ning's brothers and sisters-in-law see something, and each of them looked at his sister incorrectly.

However, the people who suddenly left the Lu Wang Mansion made the Zhou Palace and the Fu Mansion become nervous again, especially the Fu King.
