We have passed Weifang Station, and it went smoothly, just like Qingzhou Station. It was already past four o'clock at night, and it was the darkest period of the day. Most of the two military police cars at the end were fast asleep, and they could only do their duty.
Zhou Decai was still holding on, but what he saw was also "Cangzhou Station".
Xiang Xiaoqiang came to this box again. Snails followed him.
When Qiu Qiu saw the snail and finally met her mother's family, she curled her lips and burst into tears, and cried out in grievance:
"Uncle Snail..."
The fear, fear, and grievances I had suffered for so many days were all released at this moment. Snail was really like a kind uncle, lovingly comforting Qiu Qiu, just like comforting his own daughter.
Snail...Uncle.
Xiang Xiaoqiang stood aside nonchalantly, chewing on this title. He was quite depressed.
Qiu Qiu heard Snail talk about how worried her father was about missing her, and told her to cooperate with her uncle and rescue Qiu Qiu... Qiu Qiu also said how much she misses her father these days, and how much she wants to return home to her husband.
Dad slapped his back and rubbed his shoulders (even though he had never hit him once). He wished that when he went back, he would never make dad angry again (even though he always did)...
Qiu Qiu is crying here, and Fourteen Gege is crying over there. Fourteen Gege listens to Qiu Qiu's unscrupulous talk about the deep love between father and daughter, and sits weakly in the corner, her chest trembling and her cheeks pale.
, tears kept falling in his eyes.
All this was seen by Xiang Xiaoqiang. Xiang Xiaoqiang gently motioned to Qiu Qiu and Snail, and pointed to the fourteen grids in the corner.
There was a moment of silence, and more than a dozen eyes turned to the corner. Fourteen Princess noticed it, wiped her tears, and regained her arrogant look, looking at them with tears in her eyes.
"Humph," a girl sneered softly, "She is still crying. What does she have to cry about? She was the one who captured us."
Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at her, said nothing, and handed her the copy of "Da Qing Daily". A group of girls passed it around to read. Originally, they only knew about the coup in the Northern Qing Dynasty and wanted to capture the Fourteenth Princess. But now they know
This 14th Gege family has been ruined.
After a while of sighing, the girls, including Qiu Qiu, looked at Shi Shigege with less disgust. Some even showed some sympathy.
He waved gently to Xiaoqiang and asked them to take Xiaowu to the next carriage for a while. He wanted to talk to Shi Shigege alone.
He naturally spoke the truth in front of Qiu Qiu and Snail, and after two "legendary" rescues, these little ladies under Qiu Qiu also admired him extremely. In addition, his relationship with Qiu Qiu had already become a hidden secret.
I saw him as my "brother-in-law".
Seeing that she was about to be taken away from Ge Ge, Xiao Wu was a little scared, but Xiang Xiaoqiang gave her a very kind look. She also understood that Xiang Xiaoqiang probably wanted to persuade Ge Ge not to commit suicide. She looked at Ge Ge with attachment and followed Qiu Qiu and the others.
out.
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shigege were the only two people left in the luxury box.
Xiang Xiaoqiang squatted in front of the fourteenth grid and sighed:
"Alas... they are all gone, you don't have to hold on anymore, just cry if you want..."
Fourteen Gege stared at the floor in front of her indifferently, saying nothing.
Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a while and then said:
"Are you thirsty? You haven't drank a drop of water since we came up here last night... Wait, I'll pour you a glass."
He got up and went behind the bar in the luxury box, found a thermos bottle and a cup, and poured a cup of hot water. Then he rummaged around and found a package of cakes.
"Hey, no matter how big the deal is, you still have to eat and drink." He sat on the floor and put the cup into Shifengge's hand. Then he opened the cake box and pushed it in front of her. He took a piece and bit it first.
, "Well, don't tell me, this tastes really good. The cakes you made in the Qing Dynasty are so delicious, they are almost catching up with our ancestors there... Hmm? His grandma's is still produced in Little Japan! Japan,
I still accidentally ate Japanese goods.”
While he was talking to himself and chewing, he peeked at Shi Shigege's reaction.
Shishi Gege subconsciously held the hot tea cup with both hands and looked at the light reflected in the cup. Slowly, her chest stopped shaking so violently. She held the cup close to her mouth, took a sip and exhaled.
, seems to be a lot more relaxed.
Xiang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to pick up a piece of cake and handed it to her. Shi Shigege also subconsciously took it, put it to his mouth and took a small bite.
Xiang Xiaoqiang felt happy, this was half the battle. What he was most afraid of was that she would pretend to be dead without eating or drinking, which would be difficult to handle.
Just now I just whispered to Shi Shigege and asked her if she would like to follow him to Ming Dynasty. But when he was about to enter Weifang Station, his subordinates quickly called him back.
It was Xiang Xiaoqiang's sudden idea to take Shi Shigege with him to see the Ming Dynasty. He told his subordinates there that everyone thought this idea was absolutely brilliant.
Think about it, just when the Qing Dynasty was condemning the Ming Dynasty internationally, a Qing Dynasty princess wanted to go to the Ming Dynasty for "political asylum." The political significance of this was so great that even the commandos knew it clearly.
A report has just been sent back to Dongchang, saying that Shi Shigege is on the same train as them. It is possible to persuade her to come to the Ming Dynasty to live in exile. If successful, what will Ming Dynasty say? What status and treatment can be given to her?
The call back from Dongchang came almost immediately, and you could feel the ecstasy from every word. The call back asked them to use all their tricks, and they must talk about the fourteenth grid, and she must come over. As for the conditions, they would be reported immediately.
The message also instructs them that it would be best if they can make Shi Shige Ge voluntarily. If she is still unwilling when they get there, they will forcibly take her to the submarine. This means that if you can't say anything, you must go slowly. In short, you must get the person first.
This is also true. After Shen Rongxuan stared at the telegraph operator and sent a reply, he immediately took Jiang Meilu to the Changping Marquis Mansion to meet the Queen. If the Fourteenth Princess really came, what kind of treatment and status would be given to her? This is not his factory.
The governor has the final say, not even the government cabinet. Although the names of the Qing Dynasty in writing are "fake" and "fake", in fact, they are a genuine royal family. Accept the royal family of other dynasties as
Zhu Yourong must come forward to do this.
Shen Rongxuan was very satisfied with Xiang Xiaoqiang. He was right at first. The young man was really good. He was only expected to rescue twelve crew members, but now he actually brought a big fish with him.
…
But first they have to escape smoothly. This is going on as planned. It depends on whether God gives you a chance. There is nothing to say. Secondly, Shi Shigege has not spoken yet.
"Well..." Xiang Xiaoqiang was careful to find something to say, "That person named Miao Cuihua, you really shouldn't have asked someone to shoot her. This is stupid, really stupid, really. If it were me..."
"Miao Cuihua is in the Army Hospital in Pukou."
Shi Shigege took a deep breath and spoke lightly. Her voice was hoarse.
Xiang Xiaoqiang felt a burst of joy in his heart. He got the words and confirmed his guess. Moreover, it seemed that Shi Shigege was not a cold-blooded murderer. He felt relieved.
Fourteen Gege glanced at him and sighed:
"This is my last moment... Just ask whatever you want to ask, no need to beat around the bush... Let me make it clear first that I cannot tell you military and state secrets."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned. The last moment? What does it mean? Death?
Didn't she think about the suggestion she just mentioned? And "military secrets cannot be told to you", so she is still facing the Qing Dynasty?
Xiang Xiao forced himself to calm down and tried to put himself into the current state of mind of the Fourteenth Princess. He asked himself, a proud, powerful princess, the princess, had always been aloof, but suddenly one day his family was destroyed, his father was killed, and he was
How would she feel if she was captured, and all of this was betrayed by the dynasty she had been working for? How would she feel?
Although she is a princess and a princess, she is by no means the kind of hothouse flower who was pampered and raised since childhood. It is obvious that she has a strong ambition and a strong desire to prove herself by her own ability.
After enduring so much hardship and putting in so much effort, just when I had just returned to my country and gained my title, status, and rights, and had just worked hard to carve out my own world, suddenly something unexpected happened and everything was gone.
As the daughter of someone who "rebelled the clan", the least she could do was to be banned by the clan government for life. However, she was still the former highest officer of Niangan. This status was too dangerous, and she would probably die. Even if she died, she would probably die.
He must have died unwillingly with infinite resentment.
Not willing to give in. She will definitely not give in to it.
…
After Xiang Xiaoqiang "experienced" this feeling with his eyes closed for a while, he slowly said:
"Gege..."
"Stop calling me that...I'm nothing now."
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"What's wrong, I said you are, you are. Do you think you are nothing if the tyrant in Beijing deprives you of your title? Are you really going to take the words of that thief seriously?"
Fourteen Gege was slightly startled and looked up at him.
"To be honest, I don't even take his words seriously. Besides, even if I deprive you, the most I can do is deprive you of your princess title, but as long as you are born in the royal family and have the blood of Aixinjueluo in your body, you are Princess.
No one can change it."
Fourteen Gege didn't speak, just stared at him intently, her eyes trembling slightly.
"Let's talk about it, what a big deal, just die... I don't know what your reason is. Because your father, brothers and sisters were arrested and killed? Oh, to be honest, when you grow up, who doesn't experience loss?
Relatives? Maybe you think this is different...Okay, let me tell you a true story. In our Ming Dynasty, there was a family who was invaded by robbers at night. The robbers stabbed their father, mother, and brother to death with knives.
Sister, the youngest daughter was also stabbed many times and was sent to the hospital to survive. However, her spine was stabbed and she was paralyzed from the neck down. Her face was also disfigured. In other words, not only did she become
She was an ugly monster and could only live in bed for the rest of her life. The murderer is still at large. Neither the law nor God helped her vent her grievances in the end... I'm going to be bold, if I were to offend you, I'm afraid you wouldn't know how to seek death.
How many times... But what do you think of this little girl? Well, she has grown up now, and is still a famous talented woman in our Ming Dynasty. She is good at calligraphy. How much does a calligraphy cost? Even our Majesty, the study room
It also has her name on it..."
While speaking to Xiaoqiang, he noticed that Shi Shigege had already listened, with suspicion in his eyes.
He smiled and said:
"You may be wondering, since the whole body is paralyzed, how can one write well? Let me tell you, she actually wrote the word 'one mouth' well. The little girl was lying on her side on the bed, with a pillow under her neck, using her mouth
Biting the brush, she practiced writing like this and persisted... Maybe for her, choosing death should be the easiest and best way? She didn't. She persisted and survived.
Achievements, live a prettier life than others... This girl is from our Ming Dynasty. She is not noble at all, just a commoner. This woman from our Ming Dynasty has a lower status than you, and her situation is more miserable than you, but she can endure what ordinary people do.
Intolerable, what ordinary people cannot do... Gege, as the princess of the Qing Empire, with the blood of Huang Taiji flowing in your veins, you are nobler, smarter, and tougher than her. I think you will not pass this threshold.
Why don't you come? Then I will really look down on you... Speaking of which, I have fought with you a few times, and I feel that you are quite strong."
Xiang Xiaoqiang secretly hoped that she wouldn't hear any flaws in this inspirational story from later generations. In fact, it wasn't too outrageous, but instead of practicing flash by holding chopsticks in his mouth and pushing the mouse, he changed it to practicing calligraphy with a brush in his mouth.
Fourteen Gege lowered her head, closed her eyes, rolled her eyes, and licked her lips from time to time. There was a lot of blood on her cheeks, and she was no longer so pale.
Xiang Xiaoqiang continued:
"Now your family is suddenly ruined and you have lost everything, but you are not at fault at all. This is the fault of the thief, or God. But you have to bear these misfortunes. Everyone has to ask: Why?
What? No reason... It's like playing cards. When you get a bad hand, what do you do? Give it up and stop playing? Most people can't do it, right? The most people can do is smile and say: I'm lucky.
It stinks, and then I try my best to play the cards in my hand. Think about it. Why? I don’t have to tell you, but you know that even if the cards are not good, you will have a chance to win if you keep playing. If you don’t play, you will lose.
It’s settled... But why do you have to give up when you encounter this kind of situation in life where you’re dealt a bad card? Because playing bad cards in life is much more painful than playing bad cards on the card table.
.But as long as you survive and win, when you look back, you will find that it was just a hand of cards. If you keep playing, you will have a chance to make a comeback. If you don't play, you will lose."
Fourteen Gege’s chest trembled, she raised her head and said with tears:
"How to fight? You tell me how to fight? Now the Ming and Qing Dynasties are about to start a war. I, a princess from the Qing Dynasty, come to play cards in the Ming Dynasty?...Also, whose game do you want me to turn over? Yuqi's game.
Or turn over Zhu Yourong's plate?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang said:
"I tell you, it doesn't matter who you are! As long as you have the ability, as long as you believe that you have the ability! There are three ways now, either you die, or you let the Qing government capture you and take you back to Beijing, which is still death; the third way
, follow me back to the Ming Dynasty. You can survive in the Ming Dynasty and live very comfortably. But I want to tell you, you will be very sad mentally and have a lot of pressure. You turned out to be a princess from the Qing Dynasty.
Now you are going to be canonized as a princess or princess of the Ming Dynasty by the Queen of the Ming Dynasty, with a salary from the Ming Dynasty and no power. Needless to say, the Qing Dynasty will definitely throw dirty water on you and call you a "Manchu traitor"
, a traitor or something like that... Even in the Ming Dynasty, many people will look down on you, thinking that you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Also, you used to be in charge of the sticky pole department, and you had too much Ming Dynasty Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and other units on your hands.
The blood of brothers... If you become a princess in the Ming Dynasty, there will definitely be many people who want to punish you and take revenge on you... But will you be afraid? I don't think so?
"In this life, if you want to make a career, 'enduring humiliation' is a compulsory course that cannot be avoided. All the characters who seem to be famous now have taken this course. Your ancestor Nurhachi
, when he served as the commander of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty, his grandfather and father were killed by the generals of the Ming Dynasty. In order to survive and avenge, he hugged the enemy's thigh and called him daddy... Don't mind, you grew up in Japan, you must have heard this.
I said it... but what happened next? The Thirteen Armors raised troops, established the Hou Jin regime, and seized Liaodong from the Ming Dynasty. His son Huang Taiji even led troops into the Pass, seized half of the Ming Dynasty, and established the Qing Empire...
Is this a good enough turn? ... And the Guangwu who is usurping the throne in Beijing now. He asked him to kill half of the Twelve Iron Hat Kings, and even offered a bounty for your arrest. How about that? It's pretty cool, right?
You know, didn’t he endure humiliation and bear the burden before usurping the throne? Didn’t he keep his tail between his legs? Didn’t he pretend to be a grandson to this and that all day long? Those iron hat kings he killed, I dare say that he was still an uncle the day before the coup.
' he shouted. The emperor who was imprisoned by him and demoted to the title of Duke had to lie down and shout 'Long live long live' when he saw him the day before... But they all made a comeback, so beautifully. They
If you can do it, why can't you, the Fourteenth Gege, do it? After all, you are the Fourteenth Gege, and I know you are capable. If it were not Daqing Gege, and there was no place to stick the rod in your hand, it would become
If you are a weak woman, then you are no longer you."
Fourteen Gege stared at him blankly, her face turning red and white. She held her forehead with her left hand, raised the tea cup with her right hand tremblingly, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and was choked and coughed repeatedly.
She put down the teacup, leaned against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Xiang Xiaoqiang... you... why do you say these things to me..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang stared at her face and said word by word:
"I'm doing it for myself."
"What……"
"Because now I'm telling you to go into exile in the Ming Dynasty. When you return, you can make great achievements, receive great rewards, be rich and powerful, and be promoted to a noble rank."
"Why... why do you say it so bluntly..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang said:
"There is no need to be secretive. You understand this. As long as you go to the Ming Dynasty, many people will benefit from you. Not only me, but also the factory governor of Dongchang, Changping Hou, Zhu Yourong...many people. They will ban you and give you
All your money is used to gain political benefits from you. But are you afraid that others will gain political benefits from you?"
Fourteen Gege touched his forehead, took a deep breath, and shook his head.
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded and smiled:
"That's right, you're not afraid at all. If you were, you wouldn't be the Fourteenth Princess."
Then he said:
"You have to remember that in this world, the only person who really cares about you and is really good to you is you. Now someone has killed your father, someone has deprived you of your status and power, and someone wants to catch you and kill you.
, some people want to use you, some people want to punish you and take revenge on you, and some people want to throw dirty water on you... Everyone wants to see your jokes, see you unlucky, and see you kill yourself... At this time, you must be right
Take good care of yourself and treat yourself well...one day, you will live better and more gloriously than everyone else. That day will be the time when you make a successful comeback."
Fourteen Gege leaned against the wall of the carriage, shedding tears quietly without saying a word. After a while, she raised her sleeves to wipe her tears and whispered:
"Xiang Xiaoqiang, you are from the Ming Dynasty after all, but you have come to instigate me, a Manchu princess, to 'make a comeback' in the land of the Ming Dynasty. Why on earth?...You are just a newborn calf, you are so easy to turn over?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"Now we are going to war, and war can bring about many variables. What you cannot do in a lifetime during peacetime, you can do in a few years during wartime. Anyway, you are not the only one who is ambitious in this world... If you don't have confidence
, Shall I turn over this plate with you? Haha, I hope one day we will be friends instead of enemies..."
Chewing on the vague words, Shi Shi stared into his eyes, squeezed a smile from the corners of his mouth, and nodded.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart: My tongue is tired today. I have to ask Qiu Qiu to massage me later...
…
The door of the carriage opened and a stomach ache popped in. Please come to Xiaoqiang.
When Xiang Xiaoqiang came back, he held a piece of writing paper in his hand and said with a smile:
"Can I call you Princess?"
Fourteen Gege trembled and looked up at him, like a frightened rabbit. Xiang Xiaoqiang handed the writing paper to her. Fourteen Gege knew that after taking this piece of paper, she would no longer be the Princess of the Qing Dynasty.
Soon, a lot of infamy will come, and I will be accused of being a "traitor"...
But what if you don’t answer? Then there is no “but”…
She took the message paper tremblingly and murmured:
"Canonized Princess of Liaoyang... annuity of 700,000 Mingyang... can retain the title of 'Ge Ge'... can have guards... has the privilege of not being interviewed... can choose a place of residence at will, can leave the country at will... all living standards and etiquette specifications
, just like the princess of Ming Dynasty..."
As soon as she raised her head, Xiang Xiaoqiang held another piece of paper in her hands, smiled respectfully and said:
"Your Highness Princess, this is given to you by Your Majesty."
There is only one sentence on the paper:
"Welcome to my house, I'm waiting for you to play tennis with me.
