Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

"How about you go to Beijing with me?"

"What to do?"

"Well, my brother-in-law Yulai, look at him..."

"No. I... go back to Jiangnan."

I sighed all my life, blowing down the ground with resentment.Xiao Ran didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only silently look at her thin back, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart that he couldn't let go of.

It was getting dark quickly.Xiao Ran was not suitable for this dull atmosphere, and was about to order his brothers to camp on the spot, when Cheng Tong hurried over, his two eyes flashed with excitement in the darkness, and said: "The tongue was caught back, those soldiers really are Xirab's Shanhaiguan Eight Banners Army! My lord, who do you think is in command?"

"Do you still need to guess? The eighth princess's quota, Lan Ling's guard Ruilin!"

"Ah, your lord is really amazing!" Cheng Tong was dumbfounded, with a look of admiration on his face, "But, how did you guess it?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "The reason why Xun Jing was able to instigate Xiaoqi to rebel in such a short period of time shows that he has long been prepared for this. Shanhaiguan's dispatch of troops this time should have been premeditated, at least they should have done so beforehand." There was an agreement. Ruilin is not only the son of Xirab, but also the sixth-rank Lanling bodyguard. Of course, he is the best candidate to report the letter from Chengde to Shanhaiguan. To be able to gain some limelight with this battle, at least some credit should be shared. So the person who leads the troops must be him." After finishing speaking, Xiao Ran patted Cheng Tong on the shoulder and said: "Don't forget, Ruilin is Xianfeng His brother-in-law is also Prince Gong’s brother-in-law. When Prince Gong’s work is accomplished, won’t he also ascend to the sky in one step?”

Cheng Tong nodded again and again, thought for a while, and then said a little puzzled: "Then why did your lord say that they will not make any movement these two days?"

"Damn, you're either not smart, or you just don't want to use your brain! Think for yourself!" Xiao Ran said angrily.

Cheng Tong scratched his head and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands together, and said: "Yes! Sushun's pro-army is less than 1 people. With the strength of Xun Jing's people, it can be delayed for a while. Support In three to five days, Nayan Xinduo's troops will arrive, and at that time, the gate of Meihe County will be closed, and it is entirely possible to eat the army in one go!"

Xiao Ran shook his head, and said: "You said that Xun Jing and the others aimed to hold back the army, that's right, but it's unlikely that they want to eat them up in one bite. After all, Sushun is not a fool, how could he be willing to let go ? If my guess is correct, Xun Jing is waiting for Prince Gong at this time."

"Prince Gong?!"

"That's right! Xiaoqi's rebellion was just an excuse for King Gong to raise troops. He used the banner of King Qin to suppress the rebellion, and he was famous as a teacher. Those commanders who Su Shunyi was his confidant were all outside, and they couldn't quench their thirst far away; Once Prince Gong's army arrives in Chengde, the palace will be his world. This is his fundamental intention. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Xiaoqi Camp and the Tiger Gun Camp are just a bait and a cover. Gong When the king turns around, the first ones to be destroyed are these two battalions in all likelihood!"

"Call the east and attack the west, turn the customer into the main! Good plan!" Cheng Tong lost his voice, "You mean the more than 2000 people in the two battalions turned into scapegoats?"

After being silent for a long while, Xiao Ran sighed: "Once a general is successful, his bones will be exhausted. It's the same throughout the ages. It's just that this King Gong's methods are too poisonous! I only hope that Brother Duan's half will be smoother, maybe everything is still in time... "

Inadvertently turning around, he saw the slender figure with his back facing him in the dark, and couldn't help but smile wryly.He sighed secretly in his heart: Oh, Prince Gong is not the only one who likes to turn against customers! ...

♂ Volume 7 Jedi Strikes Back♀

→Chapter 068 - Unexpected Surprise←

Now Xiao Ran doesn't care about Prince Gong's scheming.The only thing he cares about most is the safety of Xueyao and his wife.

Whether Xueyao is still alive, Xiao Ran has never dared to think about it, but he couldn't help it.Xun Jing is different from Su Shun, he has no need to use Xueyao to threaten Xiao Ran.And the possibility of the rebels fleeing, carrying an insignificant captive as a burden, is self-evident.If it is true that Xueyao has fallen into Xun Jing's hands as Lan Qingzhuo said, then the chances of the mother and daughter surviving are very slim.In fact, Xiao Ran hoped that Sushun was tricking her into using it, because in that case, at least her life could be saved.

Mrs., I will wait for your return...

Mrs., come back soon...

The voice echoed in his ears over and over again, and Xiao Ran's heart was also suffering silently in the darkness.He had tried countless times to enter the enemy camp recklessly, but he was facing a camp of more than 5000 people, and his rationality finally allowed him to calm down again and again. Before Duan Xingnian came back, he could only stand still for a while.

But things still go wrong.In the middle of the night, Monk Hua was eager to save people, so he secretly brought his brothers to touch it.There were snipers monitoring the location in advance, and it went smoothly when killing the outer light and dark posts, but when they sneaked into the camp, they were still discovered by the additional patrols sent by Xun Jing, Rui Lin and others.

Bang~~!As a dull gunshot pierced the silent night sky, the whole valley suddenly boiled, shouting to kill, and the gunshots rang out.Xiao Ran, Cheng Tong and others woke up from their sleep.Fire speed people to support.

Once the camp of more than 5000 people is launched, it will be like a tide.Although Monk Hua's third team was extremely brave, they couldn't resist the rebels coming from all directions, even if they had all-powerful abilities.Seeing it from the mountain, Xiao Ran was so anxious that he ordered the sniper fire support.On the one hand, let Liu Tao lead the rest of the brothers down the mountain to meet him.

Under the reflection of the raging campfire in the big camp, the rebels were basically live targets for snipers.Several generals were killed first, and the rebels who lost their command suddenly lost their positions.Cheng Tong's special team took advantage of this moment to set up short-barreled curved guns. The twelve gun barrels continuously sprayed out anger, and the impact points extended all the way from the shaft gate, forcibly tearing a hole in the encirclement.

Liu Tao also brought people to kill him at this time, and the cantaloupe grenades were thrown over one after another, like hailstorms.Where have the rebels seen this before?At the beginning, I saw a black iron lump thrown over, and I was still staring at it in a daze, and suddenly there was a bang, and the surrounding area immediately fell down.I was terrified for a while, and I couldn't escape.Monk Hua took the opportunity to bring a gun to a bayonet, and fought hand-to-hand, killing the enemy like a whirlwind.

Since the rebels had no sentry posts and did not know how many enemies were around, they were in a mess for a while.But after a few rounds of gunfire, it was already discernible from the gunshots.This is just a small group of sneak attack troops, immediately organized and counterattacked frantically.At this time, Monk Hua was so red-eyed that he swung his steel gun and turned around to kill him.Liu Tao held back to save him, and ordered his brothers to fight back.The rest took turns covering and retreating up the hill.

Xiao Ran knew very well that once the enemy rushed out of the camp, it would be difficult for the hundreds of brothers to resist.Immediately mobilized all the snipers and gunners, and cross-fired to block the camp gate.The rebels were about to rush out aggressively, when more than a dozen shells flew over together, and the gate was blown to pieces in an instant.The soldiers inside the door retreated in a hurry, and those who ran out quickly became excellent prey for the snipers. With a burst of clear gunshots, they all turned into corpses in disorder.

The rebels immediately shouted: "Extinguish the camp fire! Extinguish the camp fire!" After a while.The campfire went out, the snipers lost their target, and the shouts of killing sounded again, but because neither side could see the truth.The rebels did not dare to leave the camp rashly, so they could only bluff in the camp.

Cheng Tong and the gunner still threw one or two cannonballs from time to time, and the place where the flames lit up was full of howling ghosts and wolves.Liu Tao has already retreated to the mountain with Monk Hua, joining forces.Using the cover of night, the team quietly retreated.

Withdrew seven or eight miles in one breath, and planted secret whistles along the way, which was a little reassuring.Counting the number of people, 17 members of Monk Hua's third team were missing, and 12 were injured, two of whom were seriously injured; four or five of Liu Tao's team were also injured, and one brother died.Xiao Ran was furious, he smashed Monk Hua to the ground with the butt of his gun, pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, and pressed it against his chest: "Your brothers are dead, why are you still alive?"

"I..." Monk Hua regretted infinitely, and beat his head fiercely.Cheng Tong and Liu Tao hurriedly fell to their knees and shouted, "Please forgive me, my lord!"

All the brothers also knelt down one after another, shouting: "My lord, please forgive me!" Xiao Ran said angrily: "He is disobeying the military order, do you want to be like him too!"

Everyone was speechless.Lin Qing'er tugged at Xiao Ran's sleeve, and said: "He only wants to save Miss Lu, so you will spare him this time..."

"Get out! You don't have a place to talk here!" Xiao Ran roared, shaking off her arm vigorously.

"You..." Lin Qing'er was trembling with anger, tears streaming down her face, she stomped her feet and turned her head away.

Xiao Ran stared at Monk Hua, and said in a low voice, "What else do you have to say?"

Monk Hua punched the ground, saying

I still know that my crime is unforgivable, and if I want to kill or be widowed, it is up to the adults to deal with it.But the sac is dead, I really can't be reconciled!Thinking that Brother Nian followed Master all the way from Nianzi Mountain to kill him, and I only ask Master to give me a chance to save Miss Lu, which can be regarded as fulfilling my wish for the brothers who were killed by me!At that time, there was no need for adults to do it, the monk cut off his head himself! "

"My lord, let me do it!" a hundred or so brothers roared in unison.

Seeing Xiao Ran bowed his head and said nothing, Cheng Tong and Liu Tao took the opportunity to persuade: "Now is the critical moment, one less brother means less strength. After this time, no matter how adults deal with the monk, brothers will never say anything!"

After all this tossing, the rebels will inevitably be dispatched tomorrow morning.Being in a dangerous situation, what the two said was not unreasonable.Xiao Ran was silent for a long time, and said: "Okay, let's keep this head on your neck for a few days. From now on, whoever dares to act rashly and disobey the military order will be shot to death!"

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing Xiao Ran's frighteningly gloomy face, no one dared to say any more, and camped on the spot.Cheng Tong was worried and went to strengthen the sentry in person.Monk Hua sat on the ground silently, speechless all night.

Xiao Ran walked up the hill, feeling depressed for a while.The death of more than a dozen brothers certainly made him angry, but what was even more terrible was that the rebels would definitely step up their vigilance after making such a fuss.If you want to sneak attack again, you will have to pay a higher price.Although he knew in his heart that the possibility of Xueyao still alive at this time was very slim, but at the very least, this was also a glimmer of hope!

Lin Qing'er was sobbing in a low voice not far away, and Xiao Ran also felt that what she said just now was a little too much.But how can he care about her now?Only Xueyao and his unborn child were tossing and turning in his mind.

Where are you, are you still alive? ...

A crescent moon hangs obliquely on the horizon, casting some deserted light.Everything in the mountains is silent, only the wind occasionally blows the leaves of the branches, making a rustling sound.Looking up at the sky, Xiao Ran's heart was in a mess.It wasn't until the morning star rose in the sky that he closed his eyes hazily for a while.Before he could sleep well, Cheng Tong ran up from the bottom of the mountain like flying.

"My lord! Look, look, who is this?"

"Duan Xingnian? You won't come back so soon, will you?" Xiao Ran was startled, and quickly turned his head to look at him. He was surprised and delighted at the same time, and almost rolled down the hillside in excitement. "Ma Chao! It turns out that you are still alive!"

Ma Chao was indeed still alive, but his whole body was covered with bruises, and his two calves were so red that they were almost smashed to pieces, so he had to be carried by the two brothers.Seeing Xiao Ran, tears immediately flowed out: "Madam, Madam, she..."

"How is it?" Xiao Ran's eyes darkened, and he shook violently, but fortunately Cheng Tong helped him so that he didn't fall over.

"She was captured by Ruilin, and she is still in the camp!"

"Ruilin?!" Xiao Ran suddenly realized.If Xueyao had fallen into Xun Jing's hands, she might have died, but Rui Lin didn't do anything, because he wanted to keep this girl so that she could take revenge on him even more viciously!

The deep-seated hatred has now become a life-saving straw!

After careful questioning, I found out that Ma Chao took Xueyao out of Yangliu Lane that day, not wanting to bump into Xun Jing's men, they were outnumbered, and both of them were caught.At this time, Xun Jing was secretly discussing with Rui Lin, Wen Han and others to start an incident. Rui Lin heard that this was Xiao Ran's wife and she was pregnant. Only then did he know that Xiao Ran was a fake eunuch.Having made a fool of himself in front of everyone several times, he hated li xuan to the bone, how could he let the two of them die so easily?

Because of this, Xueyao and Ma Chao were lucky enough to survive.In fact, long before Xun Jing's incident, Prince Gong had already planned to let Xirab send troops from Shanhaiguan.Rui Lin originally planned to send the two of them to Shanhaiguan to be imprisoned, but Xun Jing moved ahead of schedule, so he borrowed [-] soldiers and horses from Wutian Dao with his father Xirab's military talisman, and headed straight for Meihe Kailai.
