    After asking about it, Xiao Yungui ordered his people to place Li Shourong in a private room in the backyard and hold him in solitary confinement, but he did not put him back in the prison. Although Li Shourong was not a wealthy man, he was valued for his honesty and outstanding literary talent.  Win over.  Even when Li Shourong walked out of the lobby, she didn't expect that her bamboo-like words had made Zuo Zongtang miserable.

    After Xiao Yungui thought for a moment, he said to Li Yiwen: "Brother Li, you don't have to go to pick up Mr. Zuo's family. I will arrange for more suitable people to go. In the past few days, you have arranged with Lin Fengxiang and others in the city to go out of the city to guard the dangerous buildings."  Regarding the fortification, we still need to defeat him the day after tomorrow and offer sacrifices to Heavenly Father, so you should also help Brother Li Kaifang more."

    Li Yiwen didn¡¯t ask who to send, he stood up and accepted the order with fists clasped, then left.  Xiao Yungui was very satisfied with Li Yiwen's attitude. He just followed orders without asking why, and when he was asked to make suggestions, he could always hit the mark. Such people were the most comfortable to use. Xiao Yungui used to like to use Li Yiwen in his father's company.  That kind of people.

    After Li Yiwen left, Xiao Yungui strolled through the inner hall and walked outside his wing in the moonlight. He saw four female soldiers guarding the door with swords under the eaves of the wing.

    Xiao Yungui didn't pay attention. He lowered his head and walked towards the wing. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a female soldier at the door, "His Royal Highness, please stay."

    Xiao Yungui exclaimed and asked, "What are you doing?"

    A round-faced female soldier suppressed a smile and said, "The Queen of the West has given orders that His Highness the King of the West is not allowed to enter."

    When Xiao Yungui heard this, he immediately became furious. He originally lived in this house. Last night, Hong Yun'er occupied the magpie's nest and occupied it all night. Now he is not even allowed to enter?

    "Get out of my way!" Xiao Yungui shouted coldly: "There is no place in Changsha that I can't go to!" After saying that, he rushed straight through. Several female soldiers were shocked. The former King of the West did not have this  Those who dared to force their way in were stunned for a moment.

    With a bang, Xiao Yungui kicked off the door latch. After the two doors were opened, Hong Yun'er was seen sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the house, holding a teacup and drinking tea. She turned a blind eye to Xiao Yungui's break in.  On the other hand, the two women at the desk at the other end exclaimed together. They were Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing. Yang Dongqing was studying ink, and Li Xuanji was writing. Both women were frightened when Xiao Yungui broke in.  , looked at Xiao Yungui blankly together, not daring to express their anger.

    Xiao Yungui looked sideways and felt very happy. These two women were the two beautiful female soldiers who followed Hong Yun'er just now. He didn't know their names.  Seeing the presence of outsiders, Xiao Yungui hurriedly put on a majestic posture and shouted coldly: "Hong Xuanjiao! Don't go too far, this is not Yong'an, nor is it Chenzhou!"

    Hong Yun'er snorted, without even looking at Xiao Yungui, and said calmly: "The King of the West is so majestic, we have to wait until dawn to demolish the house."

    Xiao Yungui said angrily: "This is my bedroom, why don't you let me in?"

    Seeing the two people arguing, Li Xuanji pulled Yang Dongqing slowly back to the door and whispered: "Xiwang, Xiwangniang, we have to leave first." She also knew that this kind of quarrel between husband and wife is the most common among outsiders.  It's best not to be present, especially since this couple is currently the most powerful two people in the Taiping Army.

    Seeing that the two women wanted to run away, Xiao Yungui deliberately teased them. He immediately shouted with a straight face: "Who are you two? Why haven't I seen you before?"

    Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing were both startled. Xiao Yungui shouted with such a loud voice that the two women fell to their knees in fright. Li Xuanji said anxiously: "Little girl Li Xuanji, this is my sister Yang Dongqing, we are both  As a country girl from Liuyang, it was only because the Qing demon brought trouble to Liuyang that we both joined Taiping."

    Xiao Yungui smiled mischievously, touched his chin and thought to himself, they turned out to be Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing, they were two pretty girls.

    "Why are you so angry at me? Why are you yelling at others?" Hong Yun'er saw Xiao Yungui looking at the two women with ill intentions. Hong Yun'er knew his nature best, so she stood up and stopped in front of the two women.  He said loudly: "My family has just been destroyed today, and you don't even have words of comfort, so why are you so cruel?"

    Xiao Yungui said oh, his face changed, and he said pleasantly: "I see, you guys get up, I am not used to people worshiping me. Well, my voice was a little loud just now, don't be afraid."

    Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief and stood up slowly. Although Xi Wang's face was pleasant, his eyes were not focused on the two women.  Hong Yun'er stopped in front of Xiao Yungui again and said warmly: "What do you want to do?"

    Xiao Yungui laughed dryly, turned around, put on his robe and sat down. Now he seemed to have slowly adapted to the clothes at this time, but he was still the same as before in front of the beautiful woman, trying his best to act chic, and poured himself a cup of tea to drink.  He took a sip and said: "There are new sisters joining, so naturally we have to get to know each other. What's the big deal?" Then he looked at the two girls and asked, "Do you have a place to live? What are you missing?"??Tell me the king.  "

    Hong Yun'er didn't wait for the two girls to answer, and said coldly: "My female soldiers don't have to worry about the King of the West, I will make arrangements for them."

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and asked: "Sit down and tell me why your family was harmed by the Qing Yao. I will raise troops to avenge you."

    When Hong Yun'er saw Xiao Yungui, she had no good intentions towards the two girls, and rushed to say: "Today you led the troops to defeat Liuyang Qingyao, which can be regarded as giving bad breath to the people of Liuyang. Xuanji and Dongqing both plan to learn from me.  With my martial arts skills, in the future I will personally go to the battlefield to kill the demon to avenge myself, so King Xi will not worry about it."

    Xiao Yungui snorted, secretly thinking that the four-eyed girl was getting in the way here and preventing him from getting close to these two beauties. It would be better to send him to Xiangyin to pick up Zuo Zongtang's family earlier. He coughed lightly and said: "  That's fine. You can stay in the women's camp with peace of mind. If you need anything, you can talk to me. Well, you can go down first. Queen Xiwang and I have important things to talk about."

    This living couple kept talking to each other, and Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing felt like thorns in their backs. At this time, after hearing Xiao Yungui's words, they felt like they were being pardoned and hurriedly bowed and left.

    The two women retreated and closed the door. Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er were the only two people left in the room.

    Hong Yun'er glared at Xiao Yungui hatefully, suddenly approached Xiao Yungui, clenched her pink fist and waved it in front of Xiao Yungui, "Don't think that I don't know what bad intentions you have in mind, these two women are  Good people, you are not allowed to have bad ideas about others!"

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and said with a smile: "How discerning do I have to be? What woman has never seen this before? I don't like these two country girls."

    Hong Yun'er snorted and said: "It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change it. Your credibility with me is zero!"

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said seriously: "Are you finished? It's important to talk about business. We are in danger now. I will not mess around. Don't worry."

    Although Hong Yun'er still didn't believe Xiao Yungui, seeing his serious expression, she put away her pink fist and snorted: "I believe you for the time being, but I will keep an eye on you. Tell me quickly, what is it?"

    At that moment, Xiao Yungui told what Li Shourong had told him about Zuo Zongtang's family. At the end, he mused: "Zuo Zongtang didn't like eight-legged essays at first. He must have been somewhat resentful of the Qing court after failing the exam three times. That's why he  When the Taiping Army came to Changsha City when they were attacking Changsha, I guess he had this in mind. If he could help the Qing Army defend Changsha, he would be able to find other ways to get a reward from the Qing Court and become an official of the Qing Court.  . But if the Taiping Army can capture Changsha, it means that the Taiping Army has some strength. He can take the opportunity to see how the Taiping Army is doing and whether it has the potential to be a suspicious assistant. In his heart, he is actually betting on both ends. You are betting today.  Although what Wan said to him touched him greatly, this person was still hesitant to join the Taiping Army, because once he became a thief, he could only close his eyes and go on one way, which would have a great impact on the entire family and family reputation.  , so he had to make a careful decision. Now that it has come to this point, I want to help him make this decision. We will move his family to Changsha so that he can no longer think about him. "

    Hong Yun'er thought for a moment and said slowly: "You are only right. Zuo Zongtang has friendship with Qing court officials such as Tao Shu, Lin Zexu, and He Changling. He is also the son and daughter of Tao Shu and He Changling, and he is also related to Xiang.  The famous Chinese scholars Luo Zenan and Guo Songtao were friends. Although they did not like Zeng Guofan, they cherished each other in their hearts. Zuo Zongtang did not dare to seek refuge in Taiping because he was afraid of having a bad reputation as a thief. Seeing these friends, he might even have trouble in the future.  We will meet each other in arms."

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "I know Lin Zexu, and Luo Zenan seems to remember him too. He seems to be a famous general in the Hunan Army, Guo Songtao? I also have some impression. It seems that he tried his best to persuade Zeng Guofan to come out to organize regiment training. Who are Tao Shu and He Changling? Didn't listen.  Get over it."

    Hong Yun'er said flatly: "You are indeed uneducated. Tao Shu was the governor of Liangjiang during the Daoguang period, and He Changling was also the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou during the Daoguang period. They were both high-ranking officials in the Qing court. Zuo Zongtang and them are sons and daughters.  He would naturally have scruples about joining us, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Lin Zexu also had a great influence on him. In his heart, he still wanted to be an official of the Qing court and be famous throughout the ages."

    Xiao Yungui said somewhat dejectedly: "It turns out that Lao Zuo has such rich connections, one move can affect the whole body."

    Hong Yun'er raised her eyebrows with one hand and said, "Yes, there is Tao Shu, and several of his grandsons-in-law are also great people. People like Peng Yulin and Hu Linyi are all sons-in-law of the Tao family. Anyway, these celebrities in central Hunan are  They are all intertwined and always have something to do with them.¡±

    Xiao Yungui was dumbfounded and said in a daze: "Is there nothing we can do?"

    Hong Yun'er frowned and said, "I don't know what to do. I can't just kill all these people."

    These words made Xiao Yungui¡¯s eyes light up, and he clapped his hands fiercely.Ji Ji thigh said: "Yun'er, no matter what, we must take over Zuo Zongtang's family members, and we can get every one of them. You are right, they are all big families in Hunan, and they are very powerful here.  Yes, but because the family is so powerful, they are also worried that once Hunan changes, the Taiping Army will be cruel to them. The situation at this time is different from the historical situation. We occupied Changsha and defeated the Qing army again. Once Chenzhou  When the brigade arrives and attacks from all sides, it might really take over Hunan. In order to protect themselves, these big families also need to establish a good relationship with us. Whether it is overt or covert, their big families will consider how to do it.  It's a matter of taking sides." At this point, he stood up and said solemnly: "If in the end, we really can't recruit these people, we will have no choice but to arrest the Tao family, Zeng Guofan, Luo Zenan, Guo Songtao, etc.  Kill whoever deserves to be killed, I don¡¯t intend to leave hidden dangers to make myself unhappy! Including Zuo Zongtang!"

    Hong Yun'er couldn't help but shudder. She felt that Xiao Yungui seemed to be a different person at this time. Looking at the coldness in his eyes, she knew that he had made up his mind. It seems that the saying "human nature is selfish" is really true.  Yes, you will do any crazy thing to protect yourself.

    After a long while, Hong Yun'er sighed softly and said: "Okay, I will take the female soldiers and set off tomorrow. Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing also want to go back to Zhangshutou Village in Liuyang to bury their families. I will take them both.  First, take a detour to Liuyang, and then turn north to Xiangyin."

    Xiao Yungui was slightly disappointed when he heard that Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing were also taken away by Hong Yun'er, and he hummed and said: "The Zuo family is in Liujiachong, Dongxiang, Xiangyin. Although the Qing army was defeated, Xiangyin can also be considered an enemy.  Occupy the area, I will send out a team tomorrow to pretend to attack Xiangyin, so that the Qing army can shrink a bit, and you can go there with peace of mind. The Qing army in Liuyang has been newly defeated, but there are still many people and horses. I will let Li Zuoche and Yao Yuan lead  Three hundred elite soldiers will go with you, how many men will be sent from your female battalion?"

    Hong Yun'er said: "I plan to have Jinxiu Camp send out 200 elite female soldiers. Five hundred is enough. Although it may not be able to defeat a large group of Qing troops, it is enough to deal with the regiment training of some big families in the countryside. Liuyang and Xiangyin are both nearby.  Not far from Changsha.¡±

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said softly: "You must be careful. We are fighting now. When encountering a battle, stay back. Today is an era of mixed use of hot and cold weapons. What matters in battles is character. No matter how good your martial arts skills are,  He's just like a small soldier when he's hit with guns and cannons, so don't push yourself."

    Hearing that Xiao Yungui cared about her sincerely, Hong Yun'er's face turned slightly red and she smiled slightly and said, "My character is much better than yours."
