Chapter 166: Danger and Orphanage


Zhou Xiuying smiled, showed the two little tiger teeth in her mouth, and replied very obediently, "Write it down, you have told it several times." ”"Xiuying, have you ever told someone about matchmaking before" Qiao Zhiqing nodded, and suddenly stared at Zhou Xiuying curiously and asked for no reason."

Speaking of the matchmaker, which girl did you fall in love with again, you married my sister Su, and you are still not satisfied" Zhou Xiuying covered her mouth and laughed, and teased Qiao Zhiqing."

What's the matter, this is what your sister Su and I discussed, and I am going to marry Yan Yuting's girl.But that girl has to have a matchmaker, I haven't been thinking about it for a long time here, I don't know if you've ever done this" Qiao Zhiqing smiled helplessly."

What's so difficult about this, it's on me, that girl from the Yan family has been looking forward to you marrying her for a long time, this is just a formality."

Zhou Xiuying's face was full of relaxation, and she took over the job of this matchmaker with a smile."

Okay, then everything is up to Lady Zhou, or if the woman is willing, let's marry together, and I will have another wedding in the future."

Qiao Zhiqing jokingly hugged his fists and thanked him, looking at Zhou Xiuying's pretty little face with an ambiguous expression."

you, who said I'm going to marry you."

Zhou Xiuying's face turned red suddenly, and she suddenly stood up at a loss, and said goodbye, "You big pervert, do it yourself, I won't be here with you." ”As he spoke, he hung his head and ran out with small steps.Qiao Zhiqing looked at her delicate appearance, finally shook his head easily, hummed a little song and sat down at the desk, and wrote a secret letter to Wang Shijie.The battle clouds over Nanjing City were dense Li Shixian and Rong Lu outside the city returned to the city, originally planned to first insert Rong Lu in Xiaolingwei This nail was pulled out, but I didn't expect Rong Lu's Eight Banners Army to become unusually brave when it happened, and he led more than 30,000 people to attack several times but were all repulsed."

Big brother, are you in the mansion" As soon as Li Shixian dismounted in front of the door of Zhongwang's mansion, he went straight to Li Xiucheng's study."

Shixian, why did you come back, Xiaolingwei took it down" Li Xiucheng frowned and left the study after hearing Li Shixian's call."

Don't mention it, let me drink my saliva first."

Li Shixian entered the room with a dry mouth, found the teapot and poured it directly into his mouth.Li Xiucheng also guessed a thing or two when he saw his dejected appearance, and sat down at the desk in frustration."

Big brother, you better go to the Heavenly King's Mansion and persuade the Heavenly King again, while the Tianbao City in Zhongshan is still in our hands, hurry up and break through with the soldiers and horses in the city, it will be too late."

Li Shixian took a big sip of tea, and before he had time to catch his breath, he made a suggestion to Li Xiucheng."

I can't imagine that our dignified Taiping Army can't even defeat the Eight Banners Army, when did the Kingdom of Heaven fall to such a point.Escape, where can you flee to" Li Xiucheng sighed in frustration, he persuaded Hong Xiuquan more than once to let the city go, but Hong Xiuquan made up his mind to stick to the last moment, and even the angry even Li Xiucheng's prime minister was dismissed, allowing Li Xiucheng to stay in the mansion."

Big brother, have you forgotten that the Wing King Shi Dakai is now fully engaged in Sichuan, Chengdu can be called the country of abundance, if we break through and unite with the Wing King, we will definitely be able to make a comeback in Sichuan."

Li Shixian reminded Li Xiucheng with excitement on his face."

You're right, why did I forget that the Winged King is still entangled with the Qing army in Sichuan, if we unite with the Winged King, there may still be a chance to turn defeat into victory.I will go to the Heavenly King's Mansion to persuade the Heavenly King to leave, the soldiers are very fast, you immediately gather all our soldiers and horses, and once there is an order, immediately break through the siege. ”Li Xiucheng jumped up in surprise, and gave an order to Li Shixian with an excited face, asked his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair, and hurried to the Heavenly King's Mansion.Since the city of Nanjing cut off the grain and grass, Hong Xiuquan took the lead in feeding on grass balls every day, and his body was not as good as day by day.After Li Xiucheng asked the female official to pass it on, Hong Xiuquan slowly opened his eyes and told Li Xiucheng to enter the house."

Heavenly King, my subordinates have come to see you."

After Li Xiucheng entered the house, he knelt in front of Hong Xiuquan's bed and bowed."

King Zhong, you come forward to speak."

Hong Xiuquan sat up under the service of the female officer, and after ordering the female official to go down, he waved at Li Xiucheng."

Yes."

Li Xiucheng replied, stepped forward and waited aside."

Did you come this time to persuade the king not to leave the city" Hong Xiuquan coughed even more, and it took a long time to calm down and ask."

The king of heaven is wise, his subordinates are really here for this matter.Now the city of Nanjing is surrounded on all sides, the grain and grass in the city have all been exhausted, we can only let the city go, in order to preserve the strength, in order to make a comeback, but also please the king of heaven do not hesitate, make a decision quickly. ”Li Xiucheng pleaded with a serious expression, looking at the critically ill appearance of the Heavenly King, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional."

Xiucheng, how many years have you been with me" Hong Xiuquan didn't answer, changed the topic, and suddenly asked for no reason."

If you return to the Heavenly King, your subordinates joined the God Worship Society in the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang, and now it has been more than 20 years."

Li Xiucheng made a silent calculation in his heart, and replied with some melancholy.Unconsciously, the ordinary time of life was dedicated to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

For more than 20 years, you have grown from a hairy young man to a loyal king of heaven, one person under ten thousand people.In fact, the king you said understands it in his heart, but this king is old, he can't walk, and he doesn't want to go.This Nanjing city is the fateful place of this king, and this king will die here even if he dies.You have just reached middle age now, and it is a good time to make meritorious contributions, and the young king Hong Tianguifu will be handed over to you to assist, and you can just take him away. ”Hong Xiuquan sighed, knowing that his time was short, and he didn't want to toss anymore, he could be regarded as saying a few words to Li Xiucheng today, which could be regarded as a danger of being lonely."

Heavenly King, my subordinates will follow you to Beijing City and overthrow the Manchu court."

Li Xiucheng was sad for a while, knelt on the ground and wailed sadly, but it was also sad from the heart, and his voice was sincere."

Xiucheng, have you written down what I said just now" Hong Xiuquan closed his eyes and burst into tears."

It's written down, please rest assured that the subordinates will fight to protect the young king's safety."

Li Xiucheng forced himself to calm down, and hugged his fists with a serious expression."

Okay, you step down, go to the harem and leave tonight with the young king, and you will have a lot of dreams at night.I told the young king yesterday, I expected today, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.The city of Nanjing is guarded by King Gan, and it will not be lost for a while. ”Hong Xiuquan waved his hand at Li Xiucheng, and then he had nothing to say."

Subordinate Order."

Li Xiucheng gritted his teeth and bowed heavily, got up and retreated to the harem.The night fell completely.According to Li Xiucheng's instructions, Li Shixian gathered all the soldiers and horses brought back from Zhejiang in the city, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses when the army was sent out at the beginning are now dead and fleeing, and only 100,000 are left."

Big brother, what did the king of heaven say" Li Shixian stood at the door of the Zhongwang Mansion, anxiously saw Li Xiucheng's sedan chair returning, and hurriedly greeted him.After the sedan chair fell, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came out of it first, and it was the young king, Hong Tianguifu."

Shixian, don't say anything, tonight we will take the young king to break through from the Taiping Gate."

Li Xiucheng exhaled, hurriedly gave an order to Li Shixian, and as he spoke, he took the young king back to the mansion and changed him into civilian clothes."

Big brother, I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for your order.What about the more than 10 million taels of silver in the holy treasury, do you want to send someone to take it away" Li Shixian followed him into the Zhongwang Mansion and asked hesitantly."

When do you want any money, it's good to save your life first.With the silver, how can we break through and let the brothers bring their own dry rations and ammunition for three days, and throw away the rest. ”Liu Xiucheng scolded with a smile."

Yes, then I'll go and get the brethren ready to go."

Li Shixian hurriedly nodded in response, turned around and hurried down."

King Zhong, where are we going, why doesn't my father come with us" Hong Tianguifu changed his clothes and asked Li Xiucheng stupidly."

Young King, we are going to a far, far place, the King of Heaven will join us in a short time, you have to be obedient and obedient, don't let the King of Heaven worry."

Li Xiucheng looked at him and explained lovingly, relieving the little heavenly king."

Oh, I see."

Hong Tianguifu replied sullenly, hung his head and played with the rattle in his hand, this rattle was made for him by Hong Xiuquan himself, and Hong Tianguifu always carried it with him.After the third watch in the middle of the night, a force of more than 100,000 people quietly left the city from the Taiping Gate, and even the other soldiers and horses in the city were not alarmed, as if the world had evaporated, and they disappeared without a trace overnight.In the evening of the second day, all the soldiers in the city finally heard the news, and for a time the army was in turmoil, and the other old troops brought back by the king broke away from the team with their families and fled from the Taiping Gate in a hurry.But at this clock there was already the rumbling sound of artillery fire on the mountain, and it was not long before there was a dense sound of gunfire.Everyone was taken aback, and before they could react, they saw the black cannonballs that covered the sky and the sun smashing down, and the crowd was immediately in chaos, and they rushed into the city again.After the division commanders of the Qing Army returned from Suzhou City, they began to do pre-war mobilization overnight, and when everything was ready, they began to set off at the fourth watch.Feng Zicai's rear division in Zhenjiang was the first to rush to the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, and before Chen Bingwen could lead the front division over, he launched an attack on Tianbao City.Tianbao City is an important military fortress built by the Taiping Army, all built with cyan boulders, on which there are a brigade of soldiers of the Taiping Army bravely defending, all equipped with foreign guns, and there are dozens of forts.Zeng Guoquan attacked several times at the beginning, but he was defeated and returned with a big defeat, and he temporarily gave up this hard bone.Feng Zicai underestimated the combat effectiveness of Tianbao City, and organized the left brigade to attack head-on as soon as he came up.Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed to the mountainside, he heard the sound of gunfire in the stone cave on the top of the mountain, and the arrows were flying indiscriminately, and more than 100 people from the left brigade rushed to the front fell in a pool of blood after a while.The Qingzi army stomped his feet fiercely, and hurriedly let the left brigade withdraw, who knew that the rumbling artillery sound suddenly sounded on the mountain, and the left brigade of the rear division was suddenly blown up again
