    After being beaten with a military stick, Xiao Yungui could barely stand up, but Zeng Shuiyuan couldn't get up, so he had to go back to the governor's Yamen to recuperate under the escort of others.  Xiao Yungui gritted his teeth and, with the help of others, inspected the yamen warehouse. He saw that rice, wheat flour, and miscellaneous grains were clearly separated and neatly stacked together. Five grain officials were counting and making records inside.  The five of them were among the few people in the army who were literate and numeral, and they were all old men. Zeng Shuiyuan explained very carefully, and he didn't need to say anything more. It was obvious that Zeng Shuiyuan had done this.  Still put a lot of effort into it.

    Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui regretted hitting Zeng Shuiyuan with so many military sticks. He only hit himself with a hundred military sticks and it hurt like this. You can imagine how painful Zeng Shuiyuan's two hundred military sticks would be.  After a few words of comfort to everyone who was guarding the Yacang, Xiao Yungui headed back home. He really couldn't walk anymore.

    Xiao Yungui should be content. The swordsman who executed the execution did not dare to use all his strength, otherwise he would not have remembered. After lying on the horse and getting to the government office, Xiao Yungui reluctantly ordered someone to help him and went directly to visit Zeng Shuiyuan.

    Arriving at the wing where Zeng Shuiyuan lived, a rescue officer was applying the medicinal wine for Zeng Shuiyuan. Without saying a word, Xiao Yungui came forward and took the medicinal wine and applied it to Zeng Shuiyuan with his own hands.

    Zeng Shuiyuan clasped his chin slightly, not expecting that the King of the West would personally apply the medicine to him, so he hurriedly struggled and said, "The King of the West can't do it."

    Xiao Yungui said with a serious face: "What can't be done? We are all old brothers. There is no need to say this. I order you to lie down!"

    Zeng Shuiyuan's eyes were slightly moist, and the suffocation in his heart had dissipated a lot. After lying down as instructed, Xiao Yungui applied medicine to him and said slowly: "Brother Zeng, do you know why I want to beat you two in public?"  A hundred army sticks?"

    Zeng Shuiyuan shook his head, sweating profusely on his forehead, and he could see that it was very painful to apply the medicinal wine.

    Looking at Zeng Shuiyuan's blood-red buttocks, Xiao Yungui suppressed his nausea and continued to rub medicinal wine on Zeng Shuiyuan's buttocks. He thought about how nice it would be if this was some girl's buttocks.  I fantasized in my heart that I was no longer disgusted, but I said slowly: "You are not wrong in punishing the new army. If you violate military rules and disciplines, you will be punished, but you can't mention the Tiandihui and Paogehui. Yes, they are Jiujiu.  The gang has a lot of arrogance, but they are now my Taiping Saint Soldiers, and what you say will chill their hearts."

    Zeng Shuiyuan didn't know the dirty thoughts in Xiao Yungui's heart. He was stunned after hearing Xiao Yungui's words. He was so angry at that time that he opened his mouth to curse without thinking much. He struggled and said apologetically: "King Xi, it was my fault.  ¡±

    Xiao Yungui wiped the medicinal wine and let him lie down. He hurriedly wiped his hands and said, "You also need to warn other old brothers that there should be no separation between relatives and strangers when leading these new troops. We will need more people to join us in the future. We can't be cold anymore."  People's hearts cannot let the new army brothers and the old brothers have bad feelings. In the future, on the battlefield, everyone needs to work together. If everyone's hearts cannot be twisted together, how can we defeat the Qingyao? This is why I, the king, will do this this time.  The reason why Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang are asked to lead the 500 new troops to the expedition is that only after we have experienced life and death together can we trust each other."

    Zeng Shuiyuan hummed deeply and said: "The King of the West has a comprehensive plan, and I have a tender heart. I will definitely remember the words of the King of the West in the future."

    Xiao Yungui smiled slightly. He knew in his heart that Zeng Shuiyuan was a chess piece placed by Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, to monitor him. However, he did not hide anything from Zeng Shuiyuan to show his magnanimity, including why he did not kill wealthy businessmen.  He told Zeng Shuiyuan the truth without any secret. He, Xiao Yungui, wanted to tell the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan through Zeng Shuiyuan that if you want to achieve a career, you must be bold and generous.

    Xiao Yungui wrote a paper "The Rise and Fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" before traveling through time. He knew the reasons for the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom. The almost perverted xenophobic ideas of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom directly shut out many people. Master Hong and the others were paranoid that as long as they did not believe in religion,  They were all demons, and what was even more frightening was that they opposed everything the Manchus agreed with. Even the lunar calendar that China had always used was changed to a solar calendar, with 366 days in a year. This became what became known as  One of the excuses used by Zeng Guofan to criticize the Taiping Rebellion for trying to subvert Chinese culture in his "Essay on Cantonese".

    So on the one hand, Xiao Yungui wanted to tell Hong Xiuquan through Zeng Shuiyuan and his actions in Changsha that to conquer the world, you must first win people's hearts and not act paranoid everywhere, otherwise their road will become narrower and narrower.  On the other hand, he also wanted to win over Zeng Shuiyuan, so he confided in him, hoping that Zeng Shuiyuan would turn to him one day.

    After coming out of Zeng Shuiyuan¡¯s wing, it was already bright. Xiao Yungui returned to his house with the support of the swordsman and asked the rescue officer to apply medicine to him.

    This is a good gesture to save the danger official, and the medicinal wine is also very good. It hurt a little when I applied it at first, but then it felt cool and comfortable.

    "Your Highness the King of the West, please rub this tiger bone bruise with wine three times a day. I guarantee you will be able to do it in two days."?Business as usual.  "The rescue officer said softly.

    Xiao Yungui groaned a few times while lying on his stomach, and asked feebly: "What's your name? You can see injuries and bruises pretty well."

    The official Zhengwei replied: "My subordinate Yao Yuan is from Xunzhou Prefecture in Guangxi. He used to follow the Southern King."

    Xiao Yungui sighed and said, "It's a pity that King Nan has gone."

    Yao Yuan's eyes turned red and he choked with sobs: "Yes, King Nan treats us very well." At this point, he added: "King Xi also treats us very well. He eats the same as us and often comes to visit us.  Injury number, it is said below that the soldier who can become the King of the West has been cultivated for many generations."

    Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said: "You have practiced Buddhism for several generations. These words are Buddhist language. Don't say them casually in the future, otherwise the missionary officer will punish you."

    Yao Yuan hurriedly covered his mouth and said: "My subordinate made a mistake and asked the King of the West to atone for his sin."

    Xiao Yungui stood up, put on his clothes and trousers, tied up his belt, shook his hand and said: "It's okay for us to talk alone. We have said some things for more than ten years, so it's okay to forget them for a while. Heavenly Father and Emperor are very generous. I made a mistake.  Just a few words, and he will forgive your sins. By the way, I'm hungry, so I asked you to get me a big bowl of noodles."

    Yao Yuanyuan did not blame Xiao Yungui, and his words were very funny. He responded with a smile and cupped his fists, then turned around and went out to send a message to Xiao Yungui.

    Yao Yuan had just gone out when a swordsman entered the room and reported: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Zhu Changlin, the shopkeeper of Zhuganhao, is outside asking for an audience."

    Xiao Yungui hummed and said, "Let him wait in the courtroom. I'll go out right away. By the way, I'll have someone bring the big bowl of noodles I want to the courtroom."

    When they came to the court, they saw Zhu Changlin sitting at the bottom, with a plainly dressed teacher standing behind him. Xiao Yungui could feel the arrogance on this person's face from afar, because when Zhu Changlin saw her coming out, she hurriedly stood up and held her hands in front of him.  However, he kept his head held high and watched intently as he walked onto the court table.

    Xiao Yungui cupped his fists and saluted Zhu Changlin, and asked, "What's the matter with Shopkeeper Zhu coming to the office early in the morning?" As he sat down, he forgot that his butt was still injured.  Pain hit him, Xiao Yungui couldn't help but let out an ouch and jumped up from the chair.

    Zhu Changlin and the teacher were both shocked. Xiao Yungui grimaced and showed extreme pain. Zhu Changlin asked anxiously: "Prince Xi, what's wrong with you?"

    Xiao Yungui covered his butt with one hand, shook it with the other, gritted his teeth and said: "No, it's nothing, I just received a hundred military sticks in the morning, I forgot about it for a moment."

    Zhu Changlin and the teacher were both surprised. Zhu Changlin asked, "Prince Xi is in a very powerful position in Taiping. Who would beat you with a military stick?"

    Xiao Yungui pointed at himself with a wry smile and said, "I ordered the beating myself. I was not strict with my subordinates, so I punished myself with the military stick."

    Zhu Changlin frowned and said: "The Prince of the West is in charge of everything, and it is understandable that the Prime Minister was temporarily unaware of all the affairs. Can't he be forgiven?"

    Xiao Yungui shook his head and said: "Military law and military discipline are used to control the army and horses, not to use clemency as a favor. If I can't strictly observe military discipline myself, why should I use it to control others?" Then he frowned and looked at it.  The teacher asked, "Who is this? I've never seen him before."

    The teacher was still chewing on Xiao Yungui's words. When he heard Xiao Yungui's question, he stepped forward and said, "Prince Xi, there is a teacher who is going to the countryside. His surname is Gao Jizuo. He is just passing through Changsha. I don't want your army to cross the border.  I got trapped in the city by mistake and just found a job at Shopkeeper Zhu¡¯s place yesterday. There are rumors in the city these days about King Xi¡¯s chessboard collection of donations. I admire the name of King Xi, so I followed Shopkeeper Zhu to the government office to do some work, and took the opportunity to catch a glimpse of King Xi¡¯s style.  .¡±
