Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Lin Qing'er heard him talking poorly, but there was not even a hint of a smile in her eyes.Staring at him for a long time, he slowly said: "Okay, I believe you. I... I have already entrusted everything to you, and I don't want anything else from you. I just hope that you will not betray my heart for you." , don’t forget what you said yourself today!” While speaking, tears rolled out uncontrollably.

Only then did Xiao Ran heave a sigh of relief, hoping in his heart that the one who had shaved his head could walk faster, and never run into him again.If they meet again, it's really hard to say whether Lin Qing'er can be stopped.But thinking about his wife, his life is really hard. Seeing her rain beating the pear blossoms, I also feel sad, so I stretched out my arms to wrap her up, and comforted her softly.

After a long time, Lin Qing'er finally stopped crying.Seeing her sullen look, Xiao Ran deliberately teased her and said: "Good wife, you said you would leave everything to me, um, it seems that you are still a little short!" He said gently kissing away the tears on her cheeks, Gradually, the kiss moved to her lips.But after such a commotion, Lin Qing'er didn't have any thoughts, so she gently pushed him away, and said in a low voice, "Let's wait until evening... shall we?"

Xiao Ran looked at her pleading eyes, nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll forgive you first. But let's make it clear first, you won't go back on your word at night!"

Lin Qing'er blushed and nodded.The two snuggled together quietly and stopped talking.After walking for another distance, the carriage stopped, and it turned out that they had arrived at the restaurant in Dajian.Everyone got out of the car. After all, Ning Wei had just recovered from a serious illness, and her body was still a little weak. After bumping the road, her cheeks were flushed.Xiao Ran and Ning Xin supported her, before they entered the restaurant, they suddenly caught a glimpse of two large carts parked on the right hand side, they were exactly the two carts they bumped into on the road.Xiao Ran cried out inwardly, he left Ning Wei behind, and ran to the back of the house to see that there were more than 20 tall horses tied to the back trough, but they were the mounts of Zeng Guofan and his gang!

Shocked, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran back, bumping into Bao Lu.Baolu said: "What about you..."

Xiao Ran ignored him and searched back and forth. Everyone was there, but Lin Qing'er was missing.Urgently grabbed Ning Xin, and immediately said: "Where's Qing'er? Have you seen Qing'er?"

"I don't know, sister Qing'er has been with you all the time?" Ning Xin shaved her face and smiled, "I'm so shameless, I've only been away for a while, and I'm so anxious! Hmph, I only think about you The new wife, the old relationship is forgotten..."

Xiao Ran didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with her, he ran into the car as if his butt was on fire, lifted the compartment panel to take a look, his eyes immediately went dark.The gun is gone!

→Chapter 078 - Meeting Zeng Shuai for the first time←

Strikers are poisonous snakes hiding in the dark.As long as you give her a gun, no prey in the world will escape her fatal blow!

When teaching sniper courses, Xiao Ran already realized that Lin Qing'er was born with the potential to be an excellent sniper.Not only her shooting talent, but also her intelligence, calmness, and patience.As long as she is willing, no one can escape from the muzzle of her 700-meter-range sniper rifle!

Look around, within a radius of one mile, there are layers of trees, mountains and rocks, and every place is an excellent sniper position.Any sniper entering here is like a fish entering the sea. Even with a pair of piercing eyes, it is difficult to find her again.

Everyone obviously realized that something was wrong, so Baolu hurried over and said in a low voice, "Little Sanzi, what happened? Miss Lin, she..."

"It's okay." Xiao Ran could only shake his head and smile wryly.He took out a roll of bandages from the compartment and carefully wrapped them around his neck.Baolu understood at a glance: "Those are people from the palace?"

"He is a person of great use to me!" Xiao Ran fastened the bandage and patted Bao Lu's shoulder, "Bao Zi, take care of that girl Ning Xin, and don't let her cause any trouble."

Bao Lu was always cautious, nodded and said: "Don't worry." Xiao Ran took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous emotions, and led everyone into the restaurant.

This is a small two-story building with a dozen tables downstairs.There are not many merchants on the road at this time, and the business seems very deserted.The twenty or so knights were divided into three tables.Consciously or unintentionally guarding the left, right and rear windows, sealing the way in and out.It seems that Zeng Guofan himself knew that he had killed too much in his life and had too many enemies, so he was very cautious when traveling.

Zeng Guofan was not downstairs, there were two tall people standing up and down on the Hu ladder.Broad shoulders and broad back, full beard, those eyebrows and eyes seem familiar, but when you think about it, you don't see them at all.The person standing below is the one named Sun Datou, who is not tall, but his head is indeed a circle larger than ordinary people, and he looks fierce.He also saw Xiao Ran and snorted softly.There was obviously some disdain in the eyes; but when he saw Ning Wei and Ning Xin behind Xiao Ran, his eyes lit up immediately.

Not only Sun Datou, but all the knights also focused on Sister Ning Wei.Of these two girls, one is elegant and refined, the other is charming and naive, both of them have stunning looks, when they get together, they can really make all the flowers lose their colors.When he regained his composure and looked at Xiao Ran again, his eyes were obviously full of envy and jealousy. He looked him up and down, as if he was thinking: This kid is a good fortune cultivated in several lifetimes.To be accompanied by such two lively beauties.Damn, he looks like a woman, why do beautiful women like such a man?

Bao Lu was still dressed as a servant, picked a table first, wiped it with his sleeve, and let Ning Wei and Ning Xin sit down.Ning Xin looked at this group of people.Originally, there was fire in his stomach, not to mention facing so many lewd eyes, his little face turned red and then turned white again, and his willow eyebrows immediately stood up.Baolu knew that this was a signal that she was about to have an attack, so he quickly tugged on her sleeve and said in a low voice: "Young Sanzi has important matters to deal with, the princess must be patient for a while!"

Xiao Ran was not in the mood to worry about these things at the moment.He only thought about how he could meet this handsome Zeng.After all, he and his party didn't put up a signboard, so they looked for it hastily, which could only arouse suspicion.While thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at those people twice more.Sun Datou said angrily: "What are you looking at? ***. Look at it again and dig out your eyeballs."

Before Xiao Ran made a sound, Ning Xin over there was holding her breath tightly, wishing for the sound to come out, she jumped up, grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it over.He cursed loudly: "Blind bastard, do you know who we are? How dare you break the ground when you are too old, I think you bastards are getting tired of living!..."

But seeing the teapot flipping over and flying over, Sun Datou lowered his body and wanted to hide, but the man standing on top stretched out his hand and grabbed the teapot firmly in his hand, not spilling a single drop of hot tea.All the knights cheered and stood up, and they were about to copy the guy's hands when they spoke. The man shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Sit down!"

Ning Xin was really surprised when she saw his trick, and when she wanted to scold again, Ning Wei frowned and said, "What are you arguing about?" The momentum is coming.The knights were still cursing in a low voice, but they also unconsciously shut up at this moment.Xiao Ran hurriedly pressed Ning Xin to sit down, the girl was still angrily, her little mouth pouted.

The man said coldly: "Datou Sun, this is not the first time you have come out, right? Why do you have so much trouble? Have you forgotten all the rules?"

The man named Sun Datou seemed to be quite afraid of this person, and said with a sneer: "Don't dare, dare not." Sitting on the Hu ladder, his expression also restrained a lot.

Only then did the shopkeeper dare to come out tremblingly, and arranged meals for Xiao Ran and the others.Xiao Ran had no appetite at all, and was secretly anxious.But he heard that Sun Datou was getting close to that person without saying a word, and suddenly heard such a sentence: "Brother Dai, you haven't been home for several years, right? Just passed by this time, don't you want to go back and have a look?"

The man sighed: "I have passed by several times, but unfortunately I don't have time. I guess it will be the same this time."

But when he heard the word "Dai", a person flashed in his mind.It has been said that he has a son in Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army, who seems to be in the Dian Military Academy of the Youfeng Battalion. Judging from the appearance of this man, isn't he vaguely like Dai Tong?

No wonder he felt familiar, it turns out that there is such a coincidence in the world!Surprised and delighted, Xiao Ran got up and cupped his hands at the man, and said, "Dare to ask this big brother, how do you call him?"

The man was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't want to be troublesome, he frowned and said coldly: "This young master is very strange, maybe he admitted the wrong person?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "I'm being presumptuous. Just looking at the appearance of this elder brother, I think of an old friend. Dare I ask Dai's mansion in Tianshuijing Hutong in Beijing, does elder brother know?"

A look of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.After looking Xiao Ran up and down, he said: "It's the humble house. I don't know if this young master is..."

"Oh, then Mr. Dai Tongdai, what's your name?"

"It's my father."

Xiao Ran laughed loudly, saluted again, and said, "So it's really you! Little brother Xiao Ran, show respect to Brother Dai!"

It turns out that this person is the son of Dai Tong, named Dai, who made great contributions in attacking Anqing, and has now been promoted to Deputy Captain of the Guard Battalion, a rank of sixth rank.Hearing Xiao Ran's name, Dai Daxi pressed the handrail of the Hu ladder and turned straight down, grabbed Xiao Ran and said, "It turned out to be Eunuch Xiao. Coincidentally, coincidentally! My father mentioned your name more than once in the letter." , It’s really thunderous! My Dai family’s ancestral craftsmanship can be carried forward, but it’s all because of your Eunuch Xiao’s suggestion!” While talking, he fell to the ground and bowed, thanking him for whatever he said.

All the knights looked at each other after hearing the word "father-in-law", and were silent.That Sun Datou was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wanted to come forward to accompany him.I dare not come over again.Dai paid homage to Xiao Ran, read his name, and said: "We are all rough people with blind eyes, we just collided with each other just now, don't blame Mr. Xiao!"

Xiao Ran said: "Brother, what did you say! We hit it off right away. Don't be so polite. If you don't think our family is an eunuch, just call me brother, and it will make you feel closer."

Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.But then I thought: This son is a eunuch in the palace, so what are the identities of those two fairy-like people?A heart couldn't help hanging up again, and Dai whispered: "Brother Xiao, these two girls. It can't be..." Sun Datou's legs became weak again and again, and he was about to kneel down when he spoke.

Xiao Ran saw their worry, and said: "Don't worry, those who don't know are not to blame. The two masters are both princesses. They won't care about like everyone else."

Dai's heart trembled, and he hurriedly dragged everyone to kneel down on the ground, greeting the two princesses.Ning Xin sneered and said, "Hmph, who has eyes but no eyes, who scolded us just now?" After hearing this, Sun Datou's face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped off his face.

Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled Dai up, and said with a smile: "The princess is always magnanimous, it's just a joke, everyone, please get up." Dai accompanied him carefully and said: "How dare you let the princess condescend to go downstairs, please go upstairs!" Xiao Ran Said: "The two masters just left at the top of their heads. They are away from home and don't talk about these clichés."

While talking, he pulled Dai over and said in a low voice: "Brother Dai, you have traveled such a long distance this time, but go to Chengde? Is there anything important?"

Only then did Dai think of Zeng Guofan, and he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory! Come on, brother, please go upstairs, my commander-in-chief has long wanted to see you, and he can't wait to see you!"

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it. This Zeng Guofan is like a great official in the frontier, and every move in the palace can't be hidden from his eyes.He, Xiao Ran, has been making such a fuss recently, how could he not know?He was overjoyed at the moment, and followed Dai De upstairs.Behind the screen on the right hand side is a private room. Dai asked him to go in later and report.After a while, there was a burst of hearty laughter from inside, and then an old man in a green cloth gown quickly came out and said, "Luck, luck! I didn't expect to see Brother Xiao here. It seems that Bohan (Zeng Guofan's Words) This trip is really not in vain! Brother Xiao, I have heard about you for a long time, and it is a great honor to meet you today!"

I saw that the old man was over 50 years old, with an unusually broad forehead, but a narrow jaw, and a gray beard, which further complemented his clear face and piercing eyes.This is of course the famous Zeng Guofan Zeng Shuai.When he first saw the excitement of his idol, Xiao Ran was very excited. He was even more nervous than when he saw Xianfeng. Even his voice trembled a little, and he saluted deeply, "Xiao Ran has met the handsome!"

"Hey, what a handsome man, it's just a floating name, so don't mention it!" Zeng Guofan stepped forward to help Xiao Ran, smiled and said: "My brother is indeed a good-looking talent! He is talented in both literature and martial arts, and resourceful. At the time when the Nianzishan victory was won, the Dragon King array rescued him. I played the prestige of the Qing Dynasty! Brother, I pretended to have been in the army for many years. Compared with you, brother, I am still ashamed. How dare I call you a handsome man? Enough!"

Xiao Ran didn't expect that this idol was completely different from what he had originally thought. He was full of hostility, not angry and majestic, and full of arrogant aura, but on the contrary, he was very easy-going and easy-going, and he couldn't help feeling a little close in his heart.I only heard Zeng Guofan say again: "I heard that the princess is also below, brother, I don't know if I should

drive? "

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, female family members in the palace generally avoid seeing foreign ministers.That's why he asked this question.Xiao Ran hurriedly said: "I don't think so. We just met by chance, the princess and the others just stopped and left."

Zeng Guofan liked to be ordinary, and he didn't want to join in the excitement. He said happily, "Very good, very good! It's rare to meet my brother. It's better to meet by chance if you have a way. If you're not in a hurry, can you go inside and have a chat?"

This attitude somewhat surprised Xiao Ran.Although I have quite a bit of fame and status now, but compared with him, a feudal official who holds a heavy army, he is naturally not in the same breath.Seeing him so enthusiastic, I had a faint guess in my heart that there must be something wrong.Now at this juncture, it is also a good time to check his tone, and he readily agrees.

The two came to sit in the inner room, and Zeng Guofan asked to reorganize the food and drinks.There was only one old domestic servant accompanying him in the house.Along with Dai, Zeng Guofan told them all to retreat.There was no one else around, Zeng Guofan raised his glass and said: "This time, I was ordered to go to Kaoyezi Palace. I originally wanted to make a special trip to visit Brother Xiao in the palace. It is really a coincidence that I can meet you here. This glass of wine , firstly, I want to say good news to you, and secondly, I want to thank you, a great nobleman!"

Xiao Ran was startled, and quickly said: "How dare you! Didn't your lord kill one of my servants? How do you say that?"

Zeng Guofan said with a smile: "You don't have to be too modest, brother. Bohan always likes straightforwardness, so he has something to say. When it comes to the good news, my brother may not know that on the [-]th of last month, our Qing soldiers took back Anqing with all their might. A big defeat Changmao has an army of [-]. Now the defeated remnants of Changmao are retreating to Tianjing, it is at the end of their strength, and the southeast pacification is just around the corner!"

Xiao Ran's heart suddenly darkened.He had heard about the tragedy of the Anqing War for a long time.A city changed hands repeatedly, and both the Hunan Army and the Taiping Army suffered heavy casualties.Now looking at Zeng Guofan's smug face, one can guess that this time the Taiping Army is really hopeless.Retreat to Tianjing, then this vigorous dream of heaven will be shattered.It's a foregone conclusion.

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to show it on my face. I quickly put on an expression of surprise, and said: "So fast! My lord has strategized. Using soldiers like a god, you are really invincible and invincible. The Qing Dynasty has you like this Commander-in-Chief of the army, why worry about long hair! It will be a matter of time before we go back and regain Tianjing and wipe out the bandits."
