Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 228 Ivory Bone Juan Noodle Fan

Upstairs, Hou Fangyu entered the room, and after a while, a twenty-eight-year-old woman in a green dress, with muscles like mutton fat and white jade, slender eyebrows and small mouth walked out from behind the four-season screen of flowers, grass, insects and fish.

"Young Master, why did you come here all of a sudden?" When the woman saw Hou Fangyu, she rushed up to meet him and gave a slight salute.

The country was overturned, and there were no eggs under the overturned nest. Even the prostitutes on the Qinhuai River were implicated. The once famous Bayan has long since become history. That night, he suffered a military disaster, either died or died, or was regarded as a miserable camp prostitute.

This woman is the number one Shuang'er girl in Huayuelou. She is very beautiful, but compared with famous prostitutes like Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, she is still a bit inferior.

Hou Fangyu and Shuang'er are old acquaintances, because she used to be Li Xiangjun's maidservant. After the Qing soldiers entered the city, she was separated from Li Xiangjun, and Meixiang Tower was burned down by fire, so she took refuge in Huayue Tower.

After a military disaster, although Huayue Tower was preserved, the sister and son among them were either snatched by the Qing army, or fled out of the city with the refugees. On the contrary, the newly cast Shuang'er was praised by the old bustard as the top card.

When Hou Fangyu came to Nanjing to look for Li Xiangjun, he met Shuang'er in Huayue Tower, and he came here often. The Tiandihui is dedicated to helping Hou Fangyu deliver information.

"Shuang'er~" At this time Hou Fangyu cupped his hands in return, "The situation is urgent, so I came here directly, is Hall Master Yu still in Jinling City?"

"My lord, sit down first." Shuang'er stretched out her hand slightly, and sat down with Hou Fangyu at the table, and then helped him make a cup of tea before she said, "Master Yu went to Taihu Lake to meet Mr. It may take a few days for the grain ship to be transported to Huguang by the Qing court, so why are you in such a hurry?"

After a moment of silence, Hou Fangyu said: "I just got the news that Hong Chengchou suggested that Duoduo attack Zhedong, and Duoduo has agreed. Although His Royal Highness King Lu of Zhedong is at odds with the imperial court, it is the court's barrier in the southeast after all. As long as Zhedong is in If His Royal Highness King Lu is defeated, the situation in the southeast of the imperial court will deteriorate, so I came here immediately to meet Hall Master Yu."

"The Qing army is going to attack eastern Zhejiang!" Shuang'er covered her mouth in shock.

Yu Taichu was not around, Hou Fangyu originally didn't intend to talk about this with her female generation, but now he doesn't even have anyone around him who can make him tell the truth, which makes him suffer every day, and although Shuang'er doesn't understand military affairs , but can be a very good listener, so that he can speak without pressure.

"Ah~" Hou Fangyu sighed, "Last year, King Lu's army failed to attack Hangzhou. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses. So far, they haven't made any moves. It must be because they haven't recovered their strength. Duoduo will organize 20 troops to go south to sweep eastern Zhejiang. , I am worried that King Lu may not be able to hold back, so I am eager to pass on the news so that Eastern Zhejiang can prepare early."

Shuang'er understood a little after hearing this, but anyway, the matter was very urgent, so she frowned slightly and said: "But Hall Master Yu went to Taihu Lake, even if Shuang'er passed the news, it might take four or five days to go back and forth. Is there any way, Young Master, to delay Duduo's dispatch of troops?"

Hou Fangyu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and after a moment of contemplation, he drank the tea in one gulp, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes!"

Shuang'er heard the words and looked at him with her eyes.

At this time Hou Fangyu straightened his body, "This time Duoduo sent troops to the east of Zhejiang, it was a great crisis for my Ming Dynasty. The emperor obeyed the words of Chu Guogong and implemented the strategy of defending from the east and attacking from the west. Now Chu is just Fighting against the Qing army and Huguang, attacking Manchu from the west, and defending the southeast, eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, there is no room for failure. Once the southeast is defeated, the strategy of defending from the east and attacking from the west will fail completely, so we must stop Dodo sent troops."

"Now Hall Master Yu is not in Jinling, and the congregation in Jinling that day must obey my command. Shuang'er, send your orders out immediately and recruit experts. I will assassinate Duoduo!"

Hou Fangyu is the rudder master of the Jinling sub-helm of the Qingmutang of the Tiandihui. Although his main job is to lurk beside Hong Chengchou and steal information, he basically has no contact with the congregation, but with his token and seal, he does have the right to mobilize the Jinling sub-helm Congregation.

"What? Assassinate Duoduo!" Shuang'er was shocked when she heard the words.

"Not bad~" Hou Fangyu nodded, "As long as Duoduo is assassinated, the Qing government's plan to send troops to eastern Zhejiang will inevitably collapse."

"Such a major event, do you want to report it to the Hall Master and Chief Steward?"

Duoduo was the prince of the Qing court who defeated Li Zicheng and attacked the Hongguang court. The defense around him was so strict that it was definitely more difficult to assassinate than ascend to the sky.

Hou Fangyu shook his head when he heard the words, "It's too late, Duoduo will set off in three days, we don't have that much time. But this matter, we really need to inform the hall master and the chief rudder, whether the assassination is successful or not, the heaven and earth will It is bound to suffer bloody revenge from the Qing court, so Shuang'er needs to spread the news tonight so that the congregation can prepare early."

"Shuang'er knows, young master, take a break, and Shuang'er will go to arrange it now." Seeing Hou Fangyu's intention, Shuang'er gave a little blessing and prepared to go down to make arrangements.

"Wait a minute~" Just as Shuang'er was about to retreat, Hou Fangyu suddenly changed his mind: "The news of the assassination should be reported to the hall master in two days. Shuang'er can send someone to inform the hall master about the Qing court's use of troops in eastern Zhejiang." , Let the hall master find a way to pass the news to King Lu, I will attach a letter in my own hand, and Shuang'er will send reliable people to Taihu Lake together."

Hearing the words, Shuang'er couldn't help being surprised: "Why didn't you inform the hall master immediately about the assassination?"

Hou Fangyu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The Qing government has placed spies in the Tiandihui, and the assassination must not be exposed, so I asked Shuang'er to wait for two days."

"What, there is a secret disc of the Qing court among us, so the identity of the young master is in danger." Shuang'er asked, feeling a little flustered.

Hou Fangyu smiled slightly, "There is no need to worry about this, the world will be connected by a dotted line, and only four people in the whole world know my identity, and the secret disk of the Qing court can't find me for the time being. But this matter is up to us. Just a reminder, Tiandihui's activities have been too publicized recently, and it will definitely become a key target of the Qing government in the future. Duo Duo has already seen that Dorgon set up a secret disk organization to deal with us, but Shuang'er should be more careful in what he does in the future."

Shuang'er nodded after hearing this. She was just a maidservant before, but fortunately she grew up in a brothel and has seen all kinds of people. Her mind is much more mature than ordinary women, but now the situation is getting more and more complicated. He really You should also be more cautious, after all, if something goes wrong, not only will you die, but the entire congregation on the line may be implicated.

Seeing her nodding, Hou Fangyu didn't say much, "Bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I'll write the letter first."

After a while, Hou Fangyu finished writing the letter and left, but Shuang'er asked him to wait for a while. After a while, Shuang'er came out from behind and handed Hou Fangyu an ivory and white bone fan.

Hou Fangyu took the fan, opened it to look, and saw a peach blossom painted on the white fan, his expression changed suddenly.
