    Early the next morning, the sky was clear and sunny, and Hong Xuanjiao got up early. Although there was still some swelling and pain in her calf, it was no longer a problem.

    Hu Jiumei still arrived uninvited, saying that she came early in the morning to check on Hong Xuanjiao's injury and to report on the situation in the women's camp.

    Ever since she knew that Hu Jiumei was working for Dongwang again, Hong Xuanjiao had obviously become much colder towards her, but she didn't seem surprised by Hu Jiumei's arrival. Eating the noodles brought by Yao Yuan, Hong Xuanjiao said calmly: "Sit down and talk, Brother Yao, I  If you have something to say with Brigadier Hu, you can go down first."

    Yao Yuan responded and asked with a smile: "Comrade Hu, do you want some noodles? I'll get some for you."

    Hong Xuanjiao was eating by herself without saying anything. Hu Jiumei knew that she was still annoyed with her, so she smiled slightly and said, "No need, I had already eaten when I came here. You can go ahead." After that, she sat down and Yao Yuan  Feeling that the atmosphere between the two women was awkward, they hurriedly closed the door and retreated.

    Looking around, many furniture and pillars in the house were covered with knife marks. Hu Jiumei let out a sigh and asked, "Mother Xi Wang, did you have another fight with Xi Wang last night?"

    Hong Xuanjiao took out the embroidered towel and wiped her lips, and said lightly: "You are disappointed that I didn't chop him to death."

    Hu Jiumei laughed dumbly and said: "Look at what you said, Queen of the West, my little sister doesn't have such thoughts and courage. My little sister does everything according to the orders of King Dong, and she doesn't dare to have any evil intentions."

    Hong Xuan snorted and continued to eat noodles.  Hu Jiumei stood up and quietly walked to a redwood pillar. She looked at the deep knife marks on it and said, "I can see that Queen Xi was really cruel last night."

    Hong Xuanjiao had already finished her noodles, and after taking a sip of noodle soup, she wiped her mouth and said slowly, "It's a pity that my martial arts skills are never as good as his."

    Hu Jiumei turned around and frowned slightly and asked: "Yesterday, Queen Xi Wang said she wouldn't do anything for the time being? Why did she just turn around and kill her?"

    Hong Xuanjiao sneered slightly: "After you left yesterday, I thought about it, and you are right. Brother Dongwang is possessed by Heavenly Father. He can make a person go to heaven or go to hell. He is both  My elder brother, it¡¯s better to follow his wishes in everything, but it¡¯s a pity that we didn¡¯t get anything done last night, and it was a mistake.¡±

    Hu Jiumei hummed and said, "My little sister will report this matter to His Highness the East King. His Highness is possessed by the Heavenly Father and has insight into all worldly affairs. My little sister cannot conceal anything. Please forgive me, Queen of the West."

    Hong Xuanjiao was secretly angry in her heart. After Hu Jiumei left yesterday, she thought about it and felt that she still couldn't do nothing. Such a defensive situation was too obvious. In addition, Xiao Yungui sneaked into the room without following the agreement between the two of them, so she had no choice but to do nothing.  He killed Xiao Yungui who broke into the house.  Sure enough, Hu Jiumei came to investigate early the next morning, and she saw these knife marks, so she could give an explanation to Dong Wang.  She didn't want to disappear like Hong Xuanjiao in history.

    "It doesn't matter, you can just take care of your own affairs." Hong Xuanjiao said calmly with a calm face: "How is the situation at Jinxiu Camp?"

    Hu Jiumei replied: "Everything is the same as we were in Chenzhou. Yesterday, the sisters followed the male battalion soldiers and horses out of the city to clean up the battlefield at Wujialing. They gained a lot of money and paid it into the holy treasury. Today there are two sisters, Manmei and the eldest sister.  I took my sisters to take care of the injured and rushed to make dry food, and I just did what I could do first."

    Hong Xuan hummed, and Hu Jiumei added, "It's true that my little sister heard some stories about King Xi in the city yesterday."

    Hong Xuanjiao said: Yesterday she arrived in Changsha City and went to the government office to heal her injuries. However, on the way, she roughly learned from Xiao Yungui the situation of the capture of Changsha and the incident of him blaming herself and Zeng Shuiyuan. The rest of the things had not yet had a chance.  After hearing this, he took a sip of tea and said, "Oh? Did he do any other evil things? Tell me."

    Hu Jiumei sat down next to Tao Zi and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything evil, but it's strange that I didn't do anything evil. His Highness the King of the West didn't kill any of the wealthy businessmen, squires and bullies in the city. He even killed ten thousand people in the city."  The rest of the bannermen didn't do anything, and they even made an agreement with the wealthy merchants and squires in the city that the fields would still belong to them, and I would only charge rent in Taiping."

    Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea. Before wiping it with an embroidered towel, she hurriedly asked: "What are the details? Tell me quickly."

    Hu Jiumei immediately told what Xiao Yungui had done after entering the city. When she heard that Xiao Yungui had placed a bet on filling the chessboard with rice grains, Hong Xuanjiao's face changed drastically. She blushed and slowly  He stood up, walked a few steps, and couldn't help but murmured: "He, he actually knows the story of the Dayir wheat chessboard?"

    Hu Jiumei asked curiously: "Mother of the West, what kind of coat is that?"

    Hong Xuanjiao looked a little excited and said hurriedly: "I'm talking nonsense, please stop talking quickly."

    Hu Jiumei went on to talk about Xiao Yungui's deeds, and even Xiao Yungui blamed herself andI also talked about the water source again.

    After listening, Hong Xuanjiao sat back on the table in a daze, her heart pounding. She somewhat understood that this Xi Wang Xiao Chaogui was definitely not the Xi Xi Wang Xiao Chaogui in history. Xiao Chaogui was a vegetable farmer who burned charcoal and worked part-time.  How would you know the story of the ancient Indian Prime Minister Dayil Maizi filling in the chessboard?  Qiu had committed no crime after entering the city, so how could it be the fault of the short-sighted leader of the long-haired thieves?  You must know that the Chenzhou Taiping Army almost wiped out all the bannermen in Chenzhou, and it was not a problem to snatch money and food from wealthy businessmen.  This person must be from the later generations just like me!

    Thinking of this, Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but stood up with a cry and hurried out of the house, saying to Hu Jiumei: "I have some urgent things to do, Jiumei, you go back to the camp first." After saying that, she ignored Hu Jiumei's call.  Walked quickly.

    Hu Jiumei stood under the porch and looked at Hong Xuanjiao's retreating figure, murmuring to herself: "Hong Xuanjiao, Hong Xuanjiao, is this move of yours an unintentional mistake or intentional? This move is really beautiful, even I can tell the difference.  Won¡¯t come out.¡±

    Hong Xuanjiao led several of her female soldiers to the gate of the governor's office. Yao Yuan led several Taiping soldiers to catch up quickly. From afar, Yao Yuan called out: "Mother Xi Wang, go slow."

    Hong Xuanjiao stopped, turned around and said, "You came just in time. Where is His Highness the King of the West now?"

    Yao Yuan snorted and said, "The King of the West went to President Li's camp to rest for the night last night."

    Hong Xuanjiao nodded and said hurriedly: "Okay, take me to King Xi as soon as possible. I'll see him if I have something to do."

    Yao Yuan hummed and said, "Mrs. Xi, you have an injury on your leg. General Li's military camp is over at Xiaowu Gate. It's quite a long way there. I'll prepare a big car for you."

    Hong Xuanjiao wanted to say that he could just ride a horse, but when he stopped, he realized that there was a dull pain in the wound on his calf, so he had to hum and let Yao Yuan go back quickly.

    Yao Yuan was very nimble. A short time later, a two-wheeled carriage arrived. Hong Xuanjiao got on the carriage. Neither the female nor the male soldiers dared to ride with her. They walked beside the carriage together, and a group of more than ten people went to Xiaowu.  Go through the door.

    Arriving outside the military camp at Xiaowumen, I heard that the Queen of the West had arrived. It was Lin Fengxiang¡¯s deputy general Li Zuoche who came out to greet her.

    "Reporting to the Queen of the West, after Guard Lin and his subordinates led the army back to the city in the morning, His Highness the King of the West took Guard Lin, President Li and others to the Miao Peak in the south of the city to survey the terrain." Li Zuoche bowed and reported back.

    After jumping into the air, Hong Xuanjiao frowned and immediately asked: "Did the King of the West mention where to check the topography of Miao Peak?"

    Li Zuoche shook his head and said, "I didn't say that."

    Hong Xuanjiao pondered for a moment and said, "Yao Yuan, find someone who is familiar with the route to Miao Peak to lead the way."

    Yao Yuan looked back at the people following him and asked: "Li Tianxi, Chen Zhiming, you are both from Hunan, do you know the path to Miaofeng?"

    I saw a man in a red scarf step forward, clasping his fists and saying, "Yao Shanren, I have worked as a coolie at the Chengnan Academy in Miaofeng, so I know the path."

    Yao Yuan said overjoyed: "Okay, Li Tianxi, you can lead the way." At that moment, everyone gathered around Hong Xuanjiao's carriage and followed Li Tianxi to the Miaofeng Peak in the south of the city.
