subvert the late Tang Dynasty

After Xiao He and Zhu Zhen walked away, Huang Ying saw Zhu Wen staring at her stupidly, and said coquettishly, "What are you looking at, haven't you seen me?"

Zhu Wen said infatuatedly, "It's been a long time indeed."

Huang Ying feigned anger and said, "Then why haven't you come to see me since you came back for several days? Do you know that people are worried about you?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "Didn't I come here? Now the soldiers in the rebel army are impetuous and their morale is low. I am afraid that something mutiny will happen in the army, so I have been in the army to appease the soldiers and boost morale."

Huang Ying said: "I didn't let you go at the beginning. You insisted on going. Now it's over. Almost the whole army was wiped out. The second senior brother didn't know what happened. My two uncles were also injured. You still laugh, you ambush How did you become the commander-in-chief?"

Zhu Wen said with a bitter face: "Things have already happened, what can I do? Can I cry every day? If crying every day can bring the second senior brother and the others back, I will cry for three days and three nights."

Huang Yingjiao said angrily: "Look at how promising you are! What's the use of crying, you're like a bitch, isn't it disgusting?"

Zhu Wen smiled wryly and said, "I can't laugh, and crying is disgusting, so what should I do? Is it okay for me to keep a sullen face every day, like a big brother who doesn't show his emotions?"

Huang Ying said anxiously: "No, senior brother is like a piece of wood, what's so good?"

Zhu Wen spread his hands and made a helpless expression: "I can't cry, I can't laugh, I can't cry or laugh, so what should I do?"

Huang Ying said with a smile: "It's easy to handle. From now on, if I tell you to cry, you will cry, if I tell you to laugh, you will laugh, and if I tell you not to cry or laugh, you will keep a straight face."

Zhu Wen bowed solemnly and said, "Respectfully follow my junior sister's orders."

Huang Ying pouted her lips proudly, and said cutely: "It's not too bad."

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in to sit for a while? At least we should mix a cup of tea."

Huang Ying said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I never drink tea, so I don't have the habit of inviting people to drink tea."

The two made a few more jokes, and then said a few more innocuous words.

Zhu Wen suddenly said: "Ying'er, our rebel army is about to go to Hangzhou. The situation is not optimistic now. Huang Wang wants to go south to Lingnan for the foundation, but I always have a bad feeling. I always think that something bad will happen. , I dare not say that my premonition is very good, but I am always worried."

Seeing Zhu Wen's seriousness, Huang Ying put away her joking attitude, "What should come will come sooner or later, what should not come will never happen, some things may be predestined. Just like you and me, In the vast sea of ​​people, we meet by chance, get acquainted, know each other, if it is not destined, how can God let you and me meet?"

Zhu Wen's thoughts were fluctuating. Although Zhu Wen is now Huang Chao's prospective son-in-law, he might become an enemy one day, just like the historical records.If there is such a day, what will happen to me and Huang Ying?

Zhu Wen didn't know that he knew only superficially about the history of the late Tang and Five Dynasties in the 21st century, but he knew the general trend of history. Could this allow him to seek good luck and avoid evil at the right time?

Zhu Wen suddenly felt a little confused. Zhu Wen thought in his heart that it is better to keep a little distance from her until the situation of the battle becomes clear. In case there is any unresolvable conflict between him and Huang Chao in the future, it will not embarrass her.

After thinking about this point clearly, Zhu Wen said: "I still have something to do in the army, so I'll go back first and come to see you when I'm free." Then he turned and left.

Huang Ying looked at Zhu Wen's receding back, feeling lost in her heart.

"Why did he leave just like that without looking back once? Is it because my character is too domineering, or is it because I just patronized chatting with Xiao He and left him aside, he was a little angry? No, he is not like this If he was this kind of person, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to him." Huang Ying thought to herself.

"Never mind him, anyway, he said that he would propose marriage to my father after a while. He is a great hero, and it doesn't count if he can't speak. Maybe he is really busy." Huang Ying searched for it by herself. reason.

……

The next day, at dawn, the army marched all the way to Hangzhou.Runzhou is not far from Hangzhou, only three or four hundred miles away. The army went all the way south along the canal by boat, and entered Hangzhou within two days.

As soon as the army arrived in Hangzhou, they got in touch with Cao Shixiong's men and horses. Cao Shixiong personally led the men and horses to meet the king of Huang.

Huang Chao brought Shang Rang, Meng Kai, Lin Yan, and Zhu Wen to meet Cao Shixiong.

Cao Shixiong is tall and mighty, with a rough appearance, and he is a straightforward person with a relatively loud voice.Since he was Wang Xianzhi's subordinate in the past, and the monk Rang is also an old acquaintance, so the conversation between the two parties was more pleasant.

When Huang Chao asked Cao Shixiong how the battle in Hangzhou was going, Cao Shixiong said cursingly, "I won't be angry if you don't say it, but when you mention it, King Huang, I feel very angry. This battle is useless..."

"Oh, Brother Cao, let's hear it, what's the useless way?" Huang Chao asked.

Cao Shixiong said: "The officers and soldiers are not very powerful, but there is Dong Chang in Lin'an, who is very powerful. Dong Chang has a boy named Qian Liu who is even more powerful. As long as we attack the prefectures and counties of Hangzhou, Qian Liu will Come to our camp to make trouble. This man is full of tricks and has superb martial arts skills, which is unmatched in our army. My old Cao has lost a few times late in his hands. I have been trying to find a way to deal with this Qian Liu in the past two days. "

Huang Chao said with a smile: "If you attack the city, he will come back to attack your camp. This is clearly a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. How could your old Cao not know?"

"I know, I know, but the point is that I have nothing to do with him? I can't give him the old nest and let him take it, can I? But as soon as I come back, the kid ran away immediately. What can I do? I can only accept him. You said that he was a subordinate of the guard general Shi Jing in Lin'an County, and he made me, Lao Cao, unable to send troops. Do you think I can not be angry with me. Besides, I was fighting Yuhang, no matter what kind of bird he is in Lin'an County Something?" Cao Shixiong said angrily.

Everyone couldn't help smiling when they heard him speak rudely.

Huang Chao said with a smile: "Hehe, I really want to meet this Qian Liu who can make you so angry, Lao Cao. Let's see how good he is. Tomorrow you can rest assured to fight Yuhang. I will send a large team to attack Qiantang, and then divide into another team." It’s enough for the horse to help you guard the camp.”

When Zhu Wen heard that it turned out to be Qian Liu, the king of Wuyue in the late Tang Dynasty, he wanted to meet him, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to say, "Master, let the disciples meet Qian Liu."
