Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Among the several students and scholars who came out chasing the Taiping officer with swords in their hands, Zuo Zongtang knew three of them.

    The first person in charge was only in his early twenties. He was the second son of Deng Renkun, the current governor of Hunan Province. He was also the brother of his good friend Deng Fulun, the alternate governor of Zhejiang. Deng Yi, also known as Fuyi, a native of Wugang, Hunan, also known as Baozhi, Xiao  Named Hongsheng.  This son is smart and has a strong memory. He can write poems at the age of five. His mother died when he was young. His father went to a distant place and he and his brother depended on each other. At the age of fourteen, he entered the state school. At the age of seventeen, he and his brother studied at Changsha Chengnan Academy. He was a young man who was full of energy and liked to discuss military matters.  , was once selected as a Linsheng, but he was quite unsatisfied in the imperial examination and later gave up this path.

    The latter two, one is a little older, around twenty-seven or eight years old, quite mature. His name is Li Shourong, and his courtesy name is Mengying. He is from Xingcheng County, Hunan Province. He has outstanding talents, is good at poetry and prose, and is especially famous for his joint language with workers.  He is a talented scholar from Changsha.

    The other person is the youngest, around eighteen or nineteen years old, with a childish look on his face, but he is Wang Kaiyun from Xiangtan, Hunan, whose given name is Renqiu.  This man was lonely since he was a child and was raised by his uncle. He was dull but eager to learn. He graduated from Chengnan Academy at the age of thirteen and is now quite talented.

    Deng Yi, Li Shourong, and Wang Kaiyun, together with Deng Yi's elder brother Deng Fulun, and Long Rulin from You County, Hunan, are collectively known as the Five Sons of Central Hunan. Deng Fulun was already an official in the court, and Long Rulin was also appointed magistrate of Quwo County, Shanxi Province.  Among the three, except for Wang Kaiyun, who is slightly younger and took the county examination a few months ago and entered the county school with first place, the other two are no longer studying in the academy, so how could they appear here?

    I saw three people wearing the uniforms of college students, leading three young students, each holding a sword and chasing several officers of the Taiping Army out.  Several of them were weak scholars, their steps varied in speed, and the swords in their hands were only superficial. The Taiping military officers also had weapons, but they seemed to be hindered by the order of the King of the West and did not draw their swords.  Just to escape.

    Seeing Xiao Yungui pull out the long knife from his waist with an angry look on his face, a cold murderous aura rushed towards his face. Zuo Zongtang knew that Xiao Yungui was really angry, and was afraid that Xiao Yungui would kill Deng Yi and others, so he hurriedly stopped Xiao Yungui.  The front man said: "King Xi, stay here. Zuo knows these people. There may be some misunderstandings. Let me go up and explain."

    Xiao Yungui said coldly: "I am not used to people holding weapons and talking to me." Then he shouted to several officers in a loud voice: "Why are you running? Do you have fire sticks hanging on your waist?  "

    An official said anxiously: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, don't you have a general order not to harm anyone in the academy?"

    Xiao Yungui cursed angrily: "They treat each other politely, so of course we can't hurt them, but if they want to compete with us, why are we so polite? Knock them all down before we talk!"

    Several officers immediately drew their sabers and turned around to kill them. Although these people were also scholars, they had fought with the Taiping Army for many years and had learned martial arts for self-protection. Although they were far inferior to the experienced Taiping Army, they  It's much better than the arrogance of Deng Yi and others.

    Several people stepped forward and slashed with their swords, knocking the swords out of the hands of Deng Yi and others in a few blows. Seeing the fierce attack of the Taiping Army, several young people were so frightened that they dropped their swords and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.  Deng Yi and others were kicked several times and fell to the ground. When they got up, the shining steel knife was already placed on their necks.

    Seeing that he could not persuade Xiao Yungui, Zuo Zongtang hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Be merciful, be merciful" After shouting a few times, Deng Yi and others were already captured with weapons knocked down. Fortunately, they only received a few punches.  , kicked him a few times, Zuo Zongtang felt relieved.

    Deng Yi and others were escorted forward. They saw Xiao Yungui giving orders and wearing extraordinary clothes. Knowing that this man was the leader of the thieves, they all looked at Xiao Yungui angrily.  Deng Yi looked at Zuo Zongtang who looked a little embarrassed and said angrily: "Why are you here? Is it possible that you are a thief?!"

    Zuo Zongtang said hurriedly: "No, Zuo just"

    Xiao Yungui smiled and hurriedly interrupted Zuo Zongtang and said: "Mr. Zuo, I treat you with great courtesy. Mr. Zuo is only helping me to achieve the great cause of prospering the Han Dynasty. How can you say that you are a thief? These junior students do not know  It's really hateful for you and me to have ambitions and insult each other, why don't I kill them and vent my anger on Mr. Zuo's behalf?"

    Zuo Zongtang¡¯s face turned green with anger. When Xiao Yungui said this, he would not be able to wash himself off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.  At first, he didn't expect that he, Xiao Yungui and others would be misunderstood together. Only then did he realize why Xiao Yungui wanted to come to Chengnan Academy with him. It turned out that he had planned to trap him early in the morning.  Seeing Xiao Yungui wink, several Taiping soldiers raised their swords and were about to strike. Zuo Zongtang was eager to save people and had to say hastily: "King Xi, wait a moment and strike."

    Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Zuo is the number one think tank in this king's account, so I still have to give you this thin noodles. These people dare to use knives on our Taiping Saint Soldiers. Whether they kill or retain them all depends on Mr. Zuo's words."  .¡±

    Zuo Zongtang was so angry that his lips trembled. He didn't expect Xiao Yungui to frame the blame so shamelessly, and now he wasWith his life at stake, he hurriedly said loudly: "King Xi, Zuo has an agreement with you, you can't"

    Xiao Yungui waved his hand and interrupted: "Yes, you and I have an agreement, so I will give you face, otherwise these people would have been dead long ago. Mr. Zuo, please make a decision quickly. Should you kill or keep them?"  I kindly remind you, sir, that these people cannot be kept. If news of my peace leaks out, my family may not be safe."

    Among the few people, except for Deng Yi and Wang Kaiyun who glared angrily, Li Shourong and the other three people all looked frightened and had pleading looks in their eyes.

    After Zuo Zongtang was interrupted by Xiao Yungui and framed again, he was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Yungui and said "you" a few times, but could not say anything else.

    Deng Yi looked at Zuo Zongtang coldly and said angrily: "Zuo Zongtang, if you want to kill, kill him, don't be coy. Why do we Confucian students read the books of sages? How can we bend our knees to serve as thieves like you?"  You are insulting the gentlemen, I, Deng, don¡¯t have a senior brother like you!¡±

    Zuo Zongtang's face turned red and he said anxiously: "I'm not a thief, you don't have to listen to him sow discord."

    Xiao Yungui flicked the long knife in his hand leisurely and said: "Mr. Zuo, make a decision quickly, I don't have the patience."

    Zuo Zongtang helplessly cupped his hands and said, "Please ask the King of the West to let them go."

    Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "Okay, then listen to Mr. Zuo and let them go."

    Several Taiping soldiers let go of their hands, but they were still surrounded by swords and had no intention of getting out of the way. Xiao Yungui rubbed his nose and frowned and said, "Mr. Zuo, please introduce some of them."

    Zuo Zongtang said anxiously: "Didn't you agree to let them go?"

    Xiao Yungui shrugged and said: "Of course I will let it go, but there is no need to rush it. Since the students of the Xianghu Literary School are very famous in this academy, I still want to make friends with each other and know each other by name.  It¡¯s okay.¡±

    Zuo Zongtang had no choice but to introduce Deng Yi, Li Shourong, Wang Kaiyun and others, and also revealed the identities of Xiao Yungui and Hong Xuanjiao.

    Hong Xuanjiao kept smiling as she watched Xiao Yungui trick Zuo Zongtang. At this time, after hearing the names of Deng Yi, Li Shourong, and Wang Kaiyun, she couldn't help but change her face slightly, and stepped forward and said: "It turns out they are the famous Five Sons from Central Hunan.  King Xi, these three are all famous figures."

    Among the three, Xiao Yungui has only vaguely heard of Wang Kaiyun's name, and the other two do not know it. But since they are as famous as Wang Kaiyun, Deng Yi and Li Shourong must have extraordinary abilities.  In a blink of an eye, she looked at Hong Xuanjiao strangely. Does she know the background of these two people?  The doubts in Xiao Yungui's mind grew bigger and bigger, and a bold thought emerged from the bottom of his heart. Could it be that this little girl was possessed by the souls of later generations like him?

    While I was thinking about it, I saw an elderly man running out panting, shouting as he ran: "Masters, please be merciful. I am an old student who doesn't know the depth and bumped into you. Please be merciful."

    This old man was wearing a green robe and mandarin jacket, with a round hat on his head. He looked quite kind, and with the three long strands of beard under his chin, he looked a bit like a gentleman, but he was out of breath and a little embarrassed when he ran.

    "Boss, sir, this old student doesn't know what's right. I bumped into you. Please show mercy. Please let this old student go." The old man came in front of him and bowed deeply. Then when he saw Zuo Zongtang, he said curiously: "Hey,  Ji Gao, why are you here too?"

    Listening to the old man's tone, he must have misunderstood Zuo Zongtang. Zuo Zongtang was afraid that Xiao Yungui would interrupt shamelessly as soon as he opened his mouth to explain, and the result would be that the description became darker and darker. Zuo Zongtang simply refused to explain and saluted with a livid face:  "Chief Ding Shan, you are well. King of the West, this is Mr. Ding Fuchen, the head of the Chengnan Academy. Chief, this is the West King of Taiping, and next to him is the concubine of the West King."

    Xiao Yungui clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Ding, you are polite." Hong Xuanjiao, however, was not like ordinary women who would greet him with blessings. Instead, she clasped her fists and said with a smile, "My little lady has met Mr. Ding."

    Ding Fuchen, whose beard and hair were all white, was startled when he heard that the two of them were the King Xiwang and his wife, who were rumored to be the leader of the long-haired giant bandits. He hurriedly laughed twice in return and said, "I'll take care of you, I'll take care of you."

    Zuo Zongtang looked at Deng Yi and others, frowned and asked: "Chief, why are Deng Yi and the others in the academy?"

    Ding Fuchen said with a bitter face: "I originally heard that the Changmao Taiping soldiers were going north, and the academy was at the south of the city, so the old man asked the students to go home one after another to avoid the soldiers. Only a few homeless students stayed in the academy to accompany them.  The old man was guarding the academy, and Deng Yi and the others went up the mountain one after another. Deng Yi was going to the provincial capital to visit his father Deng Gong, Li Shourong was going to the provincial capital to visit friends, and Wang Kaiyun was originally staying at the academy, but he didn't expect that the provincial capital fell so quickly.  When we heard that the thieves had arrived, the city had been captured, so the three of us had no choice but to stay in the academy."

    Zuo Zongtang said oh and looked atDeng Yidao: "Needless to say, you were the one who suggested finding weapons to protect the academy."

    Deng Yisu was good at military skills. When he arrived at the academy, he found weapons and the few remaining men in the academy. He divided the weapons among them and planned to protect the academy.  However, the long-haired thief did not come to the academy for several days in a row. The few people gradually relaxed their vigilance. They did not expect that the long-haired thief would suddenly arrive today.  At first, a few people were a little scared after hearing the report from the concierge. They took out swords and rushed out. However, they did not expect that the long-haired thief turned around and ran away when he saw a few people, so a few people became bolder and chased him out.  As a result, he was captured with just three punches and two kicks. He was really humiliated.

    Deng Yi said angrily: "Yes, it's my idea. What's wrong with me protecting the academy?"

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and sneered: "There's nothing wrong, but you're just a little stupid. If you suddenly launch a sneak attack and ambush, you might be able to hurt a few of us, but if you rush out like this, you're asking for death." Follow.  Ignoring Deng Yi, who was glaring angrily, Xiao Yungui turned to Ding Fuchen and clasped his fists and said, "Shan Chief, I am just here to check the terrain today and will not disturb the academy. Please don't worry."

    Ding Fuchen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the King of the West seemed vicious, he also knew etiquette. He immediately returned the courtesy and said: "In that case, I will invite you to serve tea in the hall, and let's sit down and talk slowly."
