Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That evening, darkness shrouded the vast Yangtze River. Although it was already night, the Taiping Navy ships were still shuttled back and forth on the river between Zhenjiang and Guazhou.  Since Chongming Island was captured by the Taiping Army, the Qing navy on the Yangtze River waterway no longer exists. The Yangtze River waterway from Yuezhou in the west to Shanghai in the east is completely controlled by the Taiping Army.  The towns along the Yangtze River that were still in the hands of the Qing army were all terrified, fearing that one day Changmao would send his troops to attack.

    On the river outside Guazhou Ancient Ferry, a Taiping Army patrol boat came quickly. A soldier on the boat looked at Guazhou Ancient Ferry and said to his soldiers: "I heard that the caisson pavilion is over there?"  The famous soldier smiled and said: "Yes, the ancient soldier chief is from Yuezhou. Our Guazhou has spread the drama about Du Shiniang sinking the treasure chest in anger. It is said that this is where Du Shiniang sank into the river with the treasure chest."

    Another soldier said: "I don't know if it's true. If we can find the treasure box and give it to the King of the West for military pay, we will have made a great contribution."

    The ancient soldier laughed and said: "It's just a legend. Even if it is true, where can I find it in such a vast river?"

    While he was talking, he suddenly saw a small boat sailing out of the south bank quickly and heading straight to the north. The ancient soldier immediately became alert and said, "Why is that small boat sailing to the north bank late at night? It doesn't look like our boat. If anyone knows,  Demon, everyone come up and take a look."

    When the boat saw the clipper approaching, it slowed down. The ancient soldier on the boat looked up with a light. The people on the boat were also wearing Taiping uniforms. He immediately shouted: "Who are you? Why?  Disembarking late at night? Do you have a disembarkation warrant?"

    A big man in a red scarf stood on the bow of the boat and shouted: "We are on an errand to the north on the orders of the General of the West. This is the order of the King of the West!" After saying this, he raised a token in his hand.

    The two ships were approaching, and the soldier commander, Gu soldier commander, looked at the token and was startled.  It was indeed the King of the West's token, and he was released immediately. Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the curtain of the boat was blown up. The ancient soldier saw a rough man with a yellow scarf wrapped around his head and a pretty woman sitting upright.  Inside the boat, I couldn't help but feel something in my heart.

    After the boat went away, the ancient soldier murmured: "The people on the boat seem to be the King of the West and the Queen of the West."

    After hearing this, his soldiers all said excitedly: "What? Is it really His Highness the King of the West?" "Chief, is His Royal Highness the King of the West still going out on patrol so late at night?" The ancient soldier commander frowned and said, "This is a military secret.  It's nonsense. Everyone has forgotten what they saw tonight. Don't go out and talk nonsense, otherwise military law will be imposed." The Taiping Army's military discipline was strict, and all the soldiers were silent after hearing this.

    The small boat sailed through the middle of the river, slowly approaching the north bank, and saw only the reed swamps in the harbor on the north bank.  A small boat came out, and someone on board held up a lantern.  He shook his head towards the boat.  The big man in the red scarf on the boat said to the cabin: "Your Highness, the people are here." The people in the boat hummed and said, "Let's get closer."

    The two boats were getting closer, and when they were still a few steps away, I saw a man from the boat on the north shore leap over and stand firmly on the bow of the boat.  The big man in red scarf was taken aback and drew his sword towards him.  But the person who came suddenly knocked the big man in red scarf over on the bow of the boat with a punch and a palm.  There were four Taiping sergeants on the boat. After seeing it, they were shocked. This big man in red scarf was Tang Erniu, the counselor of the West Palace.  This man was born in Guangxi, and his martial arts skills were very good. Unexpectedly, he could not block the punches and kicks of the incoming man. They were all taken aback. When he shouted, he was about to draw his sword and stepped forward. The cabin of the small boat was wrapped in a yellow scarf.  The man at the head shouted coldly: "Stop!" Then the curtain of the black awning boat was lifted, and a man and a woman walked out of the boat. The man in the lead laughed and said: "I didn't expect that your martial arts are not weak at your young age. Are you Ronglu?"

    The man smiled slightly and nodded and said, "Exactly, I didn't expect that the rebellious and false King of the West would turn out to be such a big man. It's different from what I imagined."

    The man with his head wrapped in a yellow scarf smiled back slightly, and said with a solemn face: "You are really brave for a Manchu. If you dare to go to the appointment alone, I am not afraid that I will take you and cut you alive to commemorate your death in your hands."  Brothers?"

    Ronglu smiled calmly, and then pulled off his clothes. He saw more than ten bamboo tubes tied to his body. After the fire broke out in his hand, he pulled a lead outside the bamboo tube and said with a smile: "Of course I don't dare to come here with bare hands.  They are all gunpowder, and once it detonates, no one on the ship will be spared."

    Tang Erniu and others on the boat were shocked. They pressed their swords and prepared to rush forward to stop Ronglu. Although Tang Erniu was defeated just now by his sudden attack, Ronglu took the lead and several people from the West Palace were defeated.  The guards didn't dare to act rashly.

    The King of the West laughed again, waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat to the stern of the boat and said, "You are really brave. Let's talk in the canopy of the boat. Since I am the King who invites you, I will naturally not harm you." The King of the West looked at Rong.  Although Lu's skills are better than those of Tang Erniu and others, he thinks thatWith himself and the woman next to him joining forces, it was more than enough to subdue Rong Lu, so he immediately ordered people to retreat.

    Ronglu watched several Taiping sergeants walk to the stern of the ship, then put away the fire certificates, then looked at the beautiful woman next to King Xi and asked: "Who is this?"

    The beautiful woman nodded and said with a smile: "I am Hong Xuanjiao, Queen of the West."

    Ronglu snorted and said, "The virtuous couple are truly a perfect match." Although he said it in praise, there was no hint of praise in his tone, but rather a hint of sarcasm. After speaking, he entered the boat awning first.  King Xi and Queen Naxi looked at each other, smiled at each other and then entered the canopy of the boat.

    By the Reed Harbor fork on the north bank of the river, darkness has shrouded the sky. The waves on the river are constantly washing the shore. A small spark of oil lamp in the boat canopy is faintly emitting light. This light is very dim.

    King Xi looked at Ronglu, who was sitting opposite him, with a puzzled look on his face. He felt that he could not connect the person in front of him with his old classmate Lu Sixuan or Song Qingyun. He vaguely felt that the person opposite him could not be the same person at all.  My old classmate.

    Ronglu, who was on the opposite side, generously took the teapot from the table, got himself a cup of tea, and said with a playful smile: "What advice do you need from me, a Manchu man, for your advice?"

    King Na Xi¡¯s face twitched slightly, thinking to himself that this boy is still pretending at this time, is he serious?  Then he frowned and said, "Have you read the letter we wrote to you?"

    Na Ronglu slapped his forehead, let out an oops, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I have forgotten it. I read the letter from the King of the West. The lyrics above are well written." He paused and said, "You two may  Can you tell me the origin of the lyrics?¡±

    The look on King Xi's face darkened. Do you want the two of you to tell your true identity first?  This was not okay. He could not reveal his identity first without clarifying Ronglu's identity. He then said calmly: "I learned by chance that someone said you know the origin of these lyrics."

    King Bei had just raised his wine glass as if to drink. After hearing these words, his body trembled slightly, the tea cup in his hand shook, and the tea spilled out.  He smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "The wind and waves on the river are so strong that I can't even hold the teacup." He put down the wine glass, gently wiped the tea stains on his robe, and said, "I wonder what the King of the West meant by this?  How do I know the origin of the lyrics?¡±

    Seeing the two of them fooling around with each other, the Queen of the West couldn't help interrupting their conversation.  He slapped the table and said angrily: "Can't you guys be honest with each other? What riddles and detours are you playing? Let me ask you. Are you Lu Sixuan or Song Qingyun?"

    Na Ronglu¡¯s face twitched.  His smile suddenly froze, the tea cup in his hand fell, and he said in a trembling voice, "Do you know Lu Sixuan?"

    King Xi and Queen Xi looked at each other and smiled, this person is Lu Sixuan!

    King Na Xi nodded and said, "I am Xiao Yungui, she is Hong Yun'er, and you are Lu Sixuan?"

    A very simple sentence.  But it was like a thunderbolt sounded in Ronglu's ears. His hands trembled and his breathing became more rapid, even before he was invited to see the King of the West.  After reading the letter, he vaguely guessed that the visitor might have traveled through time just like him, and was most likely an acquaintance of his. How could he not be excited when he heard the other party calling his original name with his own ears?

    Ronglu said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, I am Lu Sixuan." Then he excitedly grabbed the hands of Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er and said, "Are you really Xiao Yungui and Yun'er?"

    Xiao Yungui smiled and held Ronglu's hand tightly without saying a word. He was also very excited. Hong Yun'er said softly: "Yes, I am Yun'er. I am your college classmate, Si Xuan.  how is your day?"

    A trace of enthusiasm flashed in Ronglu's eyes, but then dimmed again, and his eyes were filled with tears: "I, I have become a Manchu. I have no one I know. I have to pretend to be someone else every day. It's very hard."  ah¡­¡­"

    Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er looked at each other. They both experienced the kind of trembling days before they met each other. It is not easy to play the role of one's own body well, although Ronglu's identity is not as good as that of the two.  His identity is dangerous, but to whom can he tell the joys and sorrows of his life?  It's not like drinking ice water, knowing whether it's cold or warm.  Seeing Ronglu lowering his head and weeping, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er held each other's other hands tightly under the table. They both felt that although God had allowed the two to time travel, it had arranged for them to be able to cross paths very quickly.  Recognizing each other quickly is much, much better than Lu Sixuan.

    After Hong Yun'er comforted her for a few words, Rong Lu gradually calmed down his excitement. Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said, "It's okay now. You have finally found an organization. What do you think? Why don't you follow us? Although we have traveled through time and space,  There were some small misunderstandings before, but that is all in the past life, Si Xuan, just stay with us, we can all take care of each other when we are together."

    Ronglu said with some hesitation: "But now I am a Manchu."?, this"

    Hong Yun'er said with a smile: "Do you have any ID card now? If you call Lu Sixuan's name back and come with us, no one will know your identity. Even if they do, we can keep you."

    Ronglu said thoughtfully: "Yes, you two are powerful figures in Taiping now. It is easy to save me alone."

    Xiao Yungui patted Ronglu on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Yun'er and I have already made plans. Together we will lead the Taiping Army to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we can also be the emperor in the future. By the way, you have  Any news about Qingyun? Since the three of us are all in this era, she must also be in this era."

    Hearing Song Qingyun's name, Rong Lu's mouth trembled slightly, then shook his head and said: "No, I have no news about Qingyun!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
