Outside Chunhua City, break into the army camp.
The night breeze blew away a hint of summer heat.
The lights in the tent were dim, and only a small crack was exposed in the curtain. Gao Jie stood beside the curtain, looking silently outside the tent.
His figure was completely hidden in the tent, with only a pair of dark and shiny eyes exposed through a small slit.
It was dark and silent outside the tent, not even a single person walking around.
This is the place where the army's weapons and supplies are stored. All the goods are piled up.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers in the company, and the company camp is more than ten miles away. Even if all the surrounding trees are cut down, there is no way to use them for lighting every night.
Therefore, most of the time, the intruders only set up open fires outside at night, and also set up patrolling horse troops and fine cavalry.
In most camps, there is only one lighting point far away from each other.
The night patrol team will hold torches and patrol the camp at regular intervals to maintain basic order.
The military tent where Gao Jie was located had an extremely thick tarpaulin, and almost no light shined through, completely blending in with the other tents.
Just when Gao Jie was concentrating on the situation outside the tent, a pair of catkins came from behind and hugged his waist.
A faint fragrance wafted over, and a warm air came from behind his ears, lingering slowly in his ears.
There was a soft feeling on the back, and a lazy female voice sounded softly in Gao Jie's ears.
"Don't look, he has already gone to bed."
Gao Jie's lower abdomen felt slightly hot, and he felt that there was an evil fire in his heart.
The female voice was lazy, her charming charm overflowing, and she chuckled.
"Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong are currently in the outer camp. They are afraid that the Ming army will attack the camp at night. What do you have to be afraid of?"
Gao Jie's breathing became slightly heavier, and he felt that the catkins originally placed between his waist and abdomen were slowly moving downwards.
Gao Jie grabbed the hands that wanted to move down, and then slowly turned around.
Gao Jie's eyes were frighteningly bright, and a plump and beautiful woman was reflected in his eyes.
The beautiful woman was wearing a light cyan pleated embroidered skirt and a gold hairpin, and her manners were dignified and gorgeous.
The beautiful eyes under Willow Ye's thin eyebrows are as full as water, and there seems to be infinite charm flowing in the red phoenix eyes coated with a thin layer of rouge.
As the saying goes: One can die under the peonies, and one can become a ghost even if it is romantic.
Gao Jie truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
The beautiful woman in front of him is none other than Li Zicheng's wife Xing.
Even though he had seen it thousands of times, Gao Jie still couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart, and the evil fire couldn't stop surging upwards.
Gao Jie snorted, picked up the beautiful woman in front of him, placed her on a wooden box covered with quilts, and pressed her under him.
The dim candlelight in the tent kept flickering.
The only gap in the curtain has been closed, and no light is revealed.
The slight sound coming from the tent soon disappeared in the night wind.
…
Gao Jie tied the belt around his waist again and slowly adjusted his clothes.
Not only did his heartbeat not calm down, but it beat even harder.
"Li Zicheng doesn't know about the two of us, but Liu Zongmin seems to have noticed something. I feel like I can't hide it for much longer."
Gao Jie looked solemn, tightened the belt around his waist, and whispered.
“Last August, there was a chance.”
Before Gao Jie finished speaking, Xing's lazy voice came from behind.
"But you dislike He Renlong's promise that your military position is too low, and later it caused a stir, so who can you blame?"
Gao Jie looked slightly gloomy. He did have a chance when Chen Qiyu, the governor-general of officers and soldiers, sent General He Renlong to rescue Longzhou.
He and He Renlong were both from Mizhi, Shaanxi Province. He used Li Zicheng's order to discuss the matter with He Renlong.
He thought he was doing it very secretly, but he didn't expect Liu Zongmin to be keeping an eye on him.
It is said that the messenger who delivered the message met him first and then Li Zicheng.
It was Liu Zongming's words that attracted Li Zicheng's intention. Although he covered it up, he was later dispatched to guard the camp.
"The matter is over, and it's too late to regret now."
Gao Jie sighed.
"I should have listened to Madam from the beginning..."
Xing's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she rolled her eyes at Gao Jie angrily.
"The official positions of the officers and soldiers are not good enough for the leader of the 36th Battalion to surrender. Not to mention the general, not even a general or a guerrilla officer. The highest one is only a mid-level soldier."
"It's better for you to ask He Renlong for a guerrilla right away, and you don't even know how to discuss it with me."
Xing was much more calm than Gao Jie, and there was no trace of a frown on his face at all.
Although she is a woman, her background and knowledge are much higher than Gao Jie's.
She basically handles all the internal affairs of the army, including military equipment, ration allocation, and weapons supply.
Xing's face turned slightly red, and she was very satisfied with Gao Jie's attitude.
She is knowledgeable and listens to many of her words, but she is not completely unopinionated. She is completely opposite to Li Zicheng in many things.
Li Zicheng was headstrong and self-willed. He always looked down on her because she was a woman, and he had been quite indifferent to her for a long time, like a stuffy person.
As Ms.
"The best way now is for the two of us to escape overnight."
"I know many things about Li Zicheng's army. After all, you have led the army and know many details. Surrendering to the court can also get you an official position."
If the matter between her and Gao Jie is really discovered, according to Li Zicheng's character, I am afraid that life will be worse than death.
As the Xing family's beautiful eyes spread, Gao Jie began to have some friendship with He Renlong, but now He Renlong is far away in Xingping, out of reach, and the best opportunity has been lost.
"When I led the troops to surrender, I only promised a thousand presidents. This time..."
Gao Jie was a little hesitant. He originally thought that the position of President Qian was too small. Now that he has gone through it, he may have to move down a few more levels. He still has some hesitation in his heart.
Xing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her lips pursed, and she was about to speak, but something suddenly occurred to her, and her words changed direction.
"If you want to be in a high position, you have no chance now."
Mr. Xing stood up, blew out the candle, and slowly opened the curtain.
Gao Jie raised his head and happened to see the lights on Chunhua City.
…
"History of the Ming Dynasty":
"Gao Jie is from Mizhi. He lives in the same town as Li Zicheng and started out as thieves together."
"In the eighth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Governor Chen Qiyu sent his general He Renlong to rescue Longzhou, which was besieged and besieged."
"Zicheng Lingjie's suicide note promised people to rebel, but he refused to retaliate."
"When the envoy returns, he will see the hero first, and then he will see the hero. He has been besieging the city for two months, and he has become suspicious of the hero. He sent other generals to leave, and the hero returns to guard the camp."
"I became a wife of the Xing family, Wu Duozhi, who was in charge of the military resources, and provided food and supplies every day. Jie passed through the family camp, and the division was in accordance with the requirements."
"His family is great and handsome, and if he is connected with it, he may become aware of himself and plot to surrender. In August of the following year, he stole the Xing family and came back."
