It was late at night, and Zhou Shixiang ate a bowl of millet porridge made by Lin Wan'er, and went to do his daily homework - patrol the city. When he went out, Zhou Shixiang hesitated for a moment and turned around and asked Wan'er to go to bed, so that he would not wait for him to come back. Although Wan'er was unresponsive, the eyebrows and eyes obviously did not follow Zhou Shixiang's intentions.

Seeing this, Zhou Shixiang didn't say much, nodded and left. To be honest, until now, he didn't know how to treat this girl. Although the army always thought that Lin Wan'er was his concubine, he knew in his heart that he would not take Wan'er as his concubine. It was not that he looked down on Miss Wan'er, who had lost his chastity, but that his deceased wife and children still firmly occupied his heart.

Whenever he thinks of his wife who was voluntarily slaughtered and eaten by the Qing army to protect himself, and thinks of An'er who was thrown to death by the Qing army in front of him, Zhou Shixiang's heart hurts very much and is powerless. The scholar's memories and emotions are too heavy, so heavy that he almost suffocates him who came from later generations.

The family hatred and the country were in front of him, how could Zhou Shixiang forget the tragedy deep in his memory? Wan'er is a good girl. Zhou Shixiang knows her goodness, and he has never been able to do anything. The plot of the woman did not discriminate against this ill-fated girl, but he just couldn't let himself abandon his hatred and could not let himself forget his wife and children so quickly to accept a woman again. Perhaps, he deliberately wanted to become another Huo Qubing, a thousand years later. How could the champion Hou Huns get married before he was destroyed? Today, Zhou Shixiang is the only one who has not yet been slaughtered.

Home, every man wants to have a home, and every man once had a home, but when that home is broken, what can a man do? Take up a sword and a gun, slash hard at the enemy of the broken family, and chop him up! If not, he is not a man! If not such a man, he is a man. He is not a man!

After coming out of the courtyard, several personal guards followed silently. These personal guards were selected by Zhou Shixiang from the guard camp. They all had the blood of the Qing army, and although there were not many people, they were all very good men.

After a few months, these personal guards knew the habits of the Qianhu Lords. They followed behind silently. Although Zhou Shixiang would not have any danger in the city, they still kept a sufficient distance with their hands pressing the knife and never let go. Once an assassin appeared, they would stand up and guard their Qianhu as quickly as possible.

As usual, Zhou Shixiang sent people to the Houying camp to greet Duke Xiang of Song, and asked Liao Ruixiang to go to the county government to inform him, and then he started to inspect the city. Every time Zhou Shixiang inspected, there was no fixed route. Sometimes he would go to the south city first, and sometimes he would go to the east city first, but one thing was very clear. No matter where he went first, he always had to go up to the city wall first, even if he didn't say a word, and just walked along the city wall. All of these were just for the soldiers guarding the city to see him and know that their Thousand Houses were coming.

Today, although Zhou Shixiang arrived in Dongcheng first, although the Qing army failed to attack twice, it showed signs of loosening of several sections of the city walls in Dongcheng. Fortunately, after the emergency repairs by the prisoners and the men, the loosening of several sections of the city walls were reinforced, which looked no different from other complete city walls. As long as you were not particularly careful, you would never see any problems with these sections of the city walls. Although the Qing army no longer attacked, in case of precautions, Zhou Shixiang still asked Ge Zheng, who was guarding the East City, to send additional personnel to those sections of the city walls with problems, and also ordered Jiang He to transfer a team of gun soldiers from the guard camp to defend.

After Zhou Shixiang got up to the city wall, Ge Zheng and two hundred households Ge Yi, Song Erniu arrived after hearing the news. After listening to the three of them, Zhou Shixiang waved their hands and asked them to do their own business. He took a look at it on the city himself and left. Ge Zheng and the others knew about Zhou Shixiang's habit. They stopped talking, clasped their fists and left one after another.

After checking the city walls, Zhou Shi believed that he was walking around the city and did not deliberately decide the next location, but just walked around casually. Along the way, a patrol team organized by the county government passed by from time to time. When he saw Zhou Shixiang and his party, they did not come forward to greet him, but continued to move forward. This was specially ordered by Zhou Shixiang. Any officers and soldiers who performed the mission did not have to come forward to greet him except for him summoning him.

After the patrol team passed, Zhou Shixiang looked around the three forks and walked towards the street to the west. This street was originally a commercial street in Xinhui, with many storefronts along the street, but since the Qing army defended the city, there have been no shops on both sides of the street. The bustling and lively place had become a dream in the past. After the Li Dingguo army rescued the siege, the street had not yet recovered its former glory. After the Taiping Army occupied Xinhui, because the army lacked firewood to burn fire, Zhou Shixiang ordered the demolition of the houses in the city. These shops that could not accommodate too many people became the first choice for Taiping Army to demolish houses. After a few months, there were only a few shops still standing, and the rest were all a pile of rubble.

After walking along the ruins for a moment, Zhou Shixiang was so moved that he felt a little silent when he was walking along the ruins. He was about to leave, but he was about to take a look at the ruins that were located in the back camp. Just as he was about to leave, he saw that someone seemed to be moving there more than ten feet away in the left front.

It's so late, who is there to be active?

Zhou Shixiang was surprised and quietly signaled his personal guards to follow. The personal guards also saw the figures there, and the two of them subconsciously pulled out half of their swords.

The group walked forward quietly in the darkness. When they were close, Zhou Shixiang signaled his guards not to speak, so as not to alarm the people there. He himself moved closer and passed a pile of bricks across the street. The scene that came into view made Zhou Shixiang's heart suddenly "shock" and he took a breath.

It was people who made Zhou Shixiang take a breath, to be precise, dozens of women. These women knelt in two rows in the narrow alley, with a grass mark on their heads. They were of varying age, the older ones were twenty or thirty years old, but the younger ones were only seven or eight years old, and they were mostly worn in tatters. Many women had patches on their clothes that were difficult to count.

This is?

When this scene first caught my eye, Zhou Shixiang had already guessed what these women were doing, but when he was really sure, his hands couldn't help but tremble because he couldn't believe that such a person-selling thing would happen in the city he controlled.

Bastard!
