On the seventh day of July in the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, in Licheng County, Jinan Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, on the official road along the Daqing River, thirty or forty horsemen and horses passed by. Most of these horses and horses were dressed as travel-worn merchants, but they carried swords and bows. The fire gun and the horses on the crotch are also tall and strong, and you can tell at a glance that they are not good people.
The leading rider was a veiled beauty dressed in red. Although he was running around, he was still wearing a bright red outfit. This red dress was cut to fit perfectly, making this beauty's figure look very eye-catching.
Behind the beauty in red is a woman in white, who also covers her face with a veil, but her clothes are a bit too big, covering her figure. Looking from a distance, I could see that the woman's white clothes below her breasts were swaying up and down with the ups and downs of the horse's hooves.
Two women, who seemed to be pretty good-looking, led dozens of men armed with swords, bows and guns, galloping on the ground of Jinan Mansion, which was in chaos. This scene was unusual no matter how you looked at it!
These dozens of riders came from the direction of Tai'an Prefecture south of Licheng, the capital county of Jinan. They did not go straight into Licheng, but went around the city and galloped towards Yantou Town, about 20 miles northeast of Licheng.
Yantou Town was originally the most prosperous commercial town outside Jinan Prefecture. This town relies on the Daqing River, a relatively good waterway, which leads directly to the Bohai Sea to the east and the Grand Canal from north to south to the west. Therefore, it gradually developed, and before the advent of the troubled times in the late Ming Dynasty, it had become a prosperous town where merchants gathered.
However, since the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen's reign, the plundering Qing army invaded Jinan and massacred hundreds of thousands of officers, soldiers and gentry in and around Jinan City. After that, the once prosperous Yantou Town declined rapidly.
By the autumn of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, this commercial town, which had been prosperous for more than two hundred years, had been weakened to its last breath, and it was still relying on the little vitality after the autumn harvest. When the weather gets colder, Nuoda's town may become a "ghost town" with houses and no one.
Although the current Yantou Town is not a ghost town yet, it is not much better. Most of the shops are empty, and only a few shops close to the Daqing River Pier are open perfunctorily, hoping to make a few profits before a new disaster comes. Among them, there was only one restaurant that could entertain businessmen. Seeing the large group of businessmen arriving, the shopkeepers in the store personally stopped them on the official road.
The shopkeeper who can open a business in this chaotic situation is naturally not an ordinary person. When he saw these dozens of strong men on horseback and the two leading women, he knew that he had a good background. Immediately, he held up his hands and opened his mouth to say slang: "I looked up when I was passing by a high mountain. I saw a gold-lettered sign on the mountain: Taishan Beidou Great Wall Ridge!"
The beauty in red also immediately raised her hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a brother from Changcheng Ridge in Shandong, a red lady from Jigong Mountain. This is so polite!"
This shop turned out to be a black shop run by bandits from the nearby Changcheng Ridge!
The shop is dark, but today's visitor is even darker. She is actually the wife of Zhu Cihong's military advisor Li Yan, the red lady who once fell into the grass at Jigong Mountain in Xinyang!
That was a famous murderer in the world of the late Ming Dynasty! The robbers on the Great Wall Ridge were nothing in her eyes, not to mention that the other woman who came with her today was a devil with a terrible reputation.
The owner of the black shop was shocked when he heard this. He quickly bowed down and said, "I didn't know that the red lady was here. I didn't expect you to come from afar. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The red lady had already fallen off the horse and ignored the shopkeeper. Instead, she helped the woman in white off the horse and said with a smile: "Sister Xing, this is the only place. Although it is a black shop, it still looks good." clean."
The woman known as Sister Xing giggled: "If it's a black shop, then it's a black shop. No matter how black you are, can you still have a black forehead? I'm sorry they don't dare to have a forehead tattoo!"
This woman's Shaanxi accent was also called by the red lady: Sister Xing. The shopkeeper immediately thought of one person, Mrs. Xing, who had tricked King Chuang Li Zicheng!
They even tricked Li Zicheng, not only taking advantage of Lao Li's family property, but also hooked up with Li Zicheng's general Gao Jie to elope together, making King Chuang a cuckold!
And Mrs. Xing's current husband, Gao Jie, is stationed in Jinan City. If he wants to offend her, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for Gao Zongzhen to send troops to suppress Changcheng Ridge?
While Lady Hong and Lady Xing were talking, the dozens of strong men on horseback following them were already busy, either searching the store, setting up sentries around, or taking the horses to the stables to take care of them themselves, as if they were normal. A vigorous look walking around the world.
The little boss responsible for searching the store quickly came out and reported: "Madam, the store is quite clean, there are no other guests, but there are a lot of wine and food."
The red lady nodded and asked with a smile: "But friends from the Haisha Gang can reserve a table?"
"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper nodded, "it was the brothers from the Haisha Gang who came to book the table with the name card of Chief Shen, saying they were hosting a banquet in Yantou Town."
"We are the guests invited by Mr. Shen," the red lady smiled. "First, get us some food, then clean up some clean guest rooms and boil some bath water."
After giving the instructions, the red lady said to Sister Xing: "Wait a moment, the young master will be here soon. We sisters will have a good time finding something."
The young master is Zhu Cixiang. He is currently on a sand boat sailing into the Daqing River, not too far from Yantou Town.
Although he marched into Jinan Mansion with an army of 40,000 men, the purpose of his trip was not to fight Gao Jie, but to meet Gao Jie's wife, Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Xing, who dared to cuckold Li Zicheng, was a hero among women. In Gao Jie's own words, "Xing has generals, so I can help myself. It's not just about lust." This probably means that Gao Jie is not really afraid of his wife, but that his wife Xing has the air of a general and is extremely intelligent, so he obeys Xing's advice.
In other words, as long as Zhu Cihong can deal with Lady Xing, Gao Jie will also fall completely in love with Zhu Cihong.
Among the four towns in Jiangbei, although Liu Zeqing acted recklessly, he was as timid as a chicken on the battlefield and would definitely shrink when the situation came. Liu Liangzuo also had the same moral character as Liu Zeqing, and Shi Kefa probably couldn't control him either. The really difficult ones to deal with are Gao Jie and Huang Degong. Huang Degong has already arranged for people to deal with it, and it will definitely not cause trouble. Now there is only one Gao Jie left. As long as Mrs. Xing is taken care of, Gao Jie can also be used by Zhu Cihong.
After Gao Jie defected, Liu Zeqing, who was nearby, would probably defect as well. Zhu Cixiang led an army of 40,000 into Jinan, and Gao Jie had 30,000. The two of them together amounted to an army of 70,000, and Liu Zeqing was unable to resist.
If Huang Degong left and Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing defected to the prince again, Liu Liangzuo from the four towns would have no choice but to defect.
In this way, Shi Kefa only had the few Qinwang rebels brought from Nanjing, and it was impossible to compete with the more than 100,000 troops on Zhu Cixang's side.
When Zhu Cixiang's sand boat docked at the pier of Yantou Town, Lady Xing and Lady Hong had washed away the dust on the road, took off their sunshade veils, put on clean long skirts, and stood with their men. Welcomed at the pier.
Seeing Zhu Cixiang, who was wearing jade-white Confucian clothes and holding a folding fan, who looked like a young scholar, and Li Yan, who was equally elegant, with a face like a crown jade, and eyes like bright stars, coming side by side, the red lady bowed down and said, : "I respectfully invite the thousand-year-old Lord Jin An."
Next to her, Mrs. Mr. Xing from the slave family, come and see me."
Zhu Cixiang lowered his head and glanced down, and saw Ms. Xing kneeling below, her chest was bulging with anger, and her clothes were about to burst out as she leaned over. She was really alluring.
"Are you Mr. Xing?" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "Raise your head."
Mr. Xing obeyed and raised his face for Zhu Cixiang to taste carefully. I have to say that she is indeed a charming beauty. Her hair is neatly combed, her eyebrows are light, her red lips are light, her delicate and white skin sets off her delicate and beautiful facial features, her face is charming, and her figure is even more graceful. Although she is a little older, her charm is extremely extraordinary.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and raised his hand, "Both of you, please get up."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xing and Lady Hong both stood up. Zhu Cixiang took the opportunity to appreciate the beauty again.
Although Mrs. Xing has been a mother for a long time, she has maintained a very good figure. With big breasts and fat buttocks and a barely slender waist, she is really the best among mature women. Gao Jie's beauty It’s really not shallow!
