The Dream of the Red Chamber of Huanzhu is not a dream

Chapter 33 Mid-Autumn Festival

After receiving Qianlong's order to "quickly enter Beijing", Zhaohui was a little embarrassed.The army has won a complete victory, and they are waiting to go back to reward their merits. To speed up the march is naturally not the place where Zhaohui needs to be in trouble.

However, Zhaohui looked at the convoy of Ali, Zhuo and Princess Hanxiang, the luxurious carriages and horses, the music of blowing and blowing, and then thought of the group of people who would come out to kidnap Princess Hanxiang from time to time along the way, Zhaohui couldn't stop Feel annoyed.

There is an unusual relationship between Princess Hanxiang and the man headed by the robbers, which Zhaohui can't see.That's why when Ali and Zhuo asked Qing soldiers to send someone to protect Princess Hanxiang, he gave the order to kill Princess Hanxiang. Who knew that Princess Hanxiang disregarded her own safety and used herself as a shield to protect the man? Life, in this way, I don't know if the robber still escaped, even the relationship between Princess Hanxiang and the man was exposed in front of the eyes of the officers and soldiers. Even if Zhaohui wanted to cover it up, she couldn't stop this Everyone speaks.

Thinking about Ali and Zhuo's purpose of bringing Princess Hanxiang to Beijing, Zhao Hui felt his brain hurt.

Princess Hanxiang is a saint from Huijiang, and it is said that she is born with a strange fragrance.As a courtier, Zhaohui also has some understanding of Qianlong's problems. There is absolutely no reason why Qianlong would not like such a beauty, but can such a woman who has her own heart and doesn't even know her body be clean and unclean, really be dedicated to the emperor? ?If something happens in the future, will the emperor feel ashamed and turn his anger on him?

Zhaohui still had a headache, but heard that Forte asked to see him.

Zhaohui has a deep affection for Forte. He is a born warrior with treacherous tactics and excellent marksmanship. He has made the most contribution to this battle. Zhaohui believes that Forte will be reused after returning to Beijing, but This is not the biggest reason Zhaohui treats Forte differently, but because Fuling'an, Duolong, Fucha Haoxiang, and even Hailancha are all vaguely headed by him.These young people have different personalities, identities, and behaviors, but they can be united with Forte as the core. This can only show that Forte is indeed outstanding, and his future is naturally unlimited. .

So Zhaohui has always shown great importance to Forte and others.Although Zhaohui is now in a high position, this does not guarantee that his family and his descendants will still have a strong successor. Therefore, it is beneficial and not harmful to take advantage of the current golden opportunity to form a good relationship.

Forte's expression was serious and dignified, Zhaohui knew why he did this, but he could only sigh helplessly, wanting to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

In Zhaohui's view, Forte is too emotional.In normal times, this is naturally the benefit that his colleagues and subordinates are willing to get close to, but when it is time to make a choice, it makes people feel that they are not decisive enough.

"General." Forte knelt down suddenly, although his tone was calm, but with some determination.

Zhaohui was startled, pulled him up quickly, and said, "What are you doing? I know you feel aggrieved, but Princess Hanxiang was dedicated to the emperor by Ali and Zhuo, we must not make any mistakes, otherwise, the consequences will be worse." It's definitely not something you and I can afford."

"General," Forte was not used to kneeling. Kneeling was just to show his determination, but now he took advantage of the situation, but still insisted on his own opinion. "Of course Princess Hanxiang can't do anything wrong, because In this way, those villains who dare to take advantage of Princess Hanxiang will not be able to stay."

Zhaohui also wanted to wipe out those robbers, but she was afraid that Hanxiang would commit suicide, so it was not a dilemma.

Forte continued: "Looking at the man's aura, I'm afraid he's going to follow up in Beijing. If he makes trouble in Beijing, it will be much more difficult to solve than halfway. If the emperor knows again, we will have a good relationship with the princess and that man. The matter is known, but it is to save the emperor's face."

Zhaohui's heart skipped a beat, and her already shaken heart leaned more toward Forte, but she still hesitated: "I'm afraid that Princess Hanxiang..."

Forte's seriousness flashed a cold light, and said: "The man is dead, Princess Hanxiang will either die or give up. The ones who are most afraid of Princess Hanxiang's accident are Ali and Zhuo, not us. The princess is in the motorcade of the Hui people. We are all big men, so naturally we have no reason to go to see the princess. If she really died, is it still our responsibility? Ali and Zhuo must not dare to say that the princess committed suicide. From returning to Xinjiang to the capital, it is not a big deal if the environment is not acclimatized Of course, if the princess can give up, that would be even better."

The reason why Zhao Hui dared not to be cruel was because she preconceived that Princess Hanxiang would be dedicated to Qianlong and become his master, so she lowered her stance first.But now that Forte said this, he jumped out of that shackles. Naturally, the decisive general who killed on the battlefield did not lack the determination to make a quick decision. He sneered and nodded: "As you want Let's do it, those robbers look like they are from the Hui nationality. They tried to hijack the princess in the past. Although they hurt people, they didn't kill people. But when my Qing soldiers were sent to protect the princess, they killed them. I have a reason It is suspected that this is a conspiracy by the Hui people except Ali and Zhuo against the Qing Dynasty, so we must not condone traitors!"

Forte bowed solemnly: "Yes, General!"

When Forte left Zhaohui's tent, he was immediately surrounded by Fu Ling'an and others.

Forte nodded slightly, and the eyes of several people immediately became sharp and serious. They each mounted their horses with guns, and followed the convoy not far from the back.

There was a small urn on the back of Forte's horse, and Forte stroked it lightly, and said, "Brothers, we will avenge you, you must follow and go home with us."

The battlefield is always a place where people eat people. If you die in the wilderness, shrouded in horse leather, you can say that you have no regrets and are worthy of it.

However, the owner of the ashes on Forte's horse did not die on the battlefield, but died in the infatuation of two men and women. How could love soaked in blood allow it to bloom sinful flowers?

Ali and Zhuo's spirits have always been very tense. Ever since Mengdan killed a few Qing soldiers who were sent to protect Hanxiang, the Qing army responded with great hostility to them. He Zhuo's heart was pounding.

Especially those young generals headed by Fortaire, they always glanced at their convoy with malicious eyes. The muskets on their backs, and the musket battalion behind them were released on the ground by Ali and Zhuo. Great pressure.

Ali and Zhuo felt that something was going to happen, and hated Mengdan more and more in their hearts. If he was not afraid of killing Mengdan and making his daughter die in love, he would not let him go again and again.

But Meng Dan would not be grateful to his subordinates for showing mercy. When the army was stationed outside the city, and Zhao Hui led a small number of troops to escort the convoy back to Beijing, Meng Dan made a last-ditch effort.

Meng Dan understands Ali and Zhuo's tricks, and breaks into the convoy without any scruples, trying to take Hanxiang away, but he doesn't realize that the hunter's gun is already aimed at him.

Meng Dan had never faced the Qing army directly on the battlefield, so he didn't know much about muskets. Seeing that the Qing army was far away from Ali and Zhuo's convoy, he felt that it was nothing to worry about, so he didn't pay attention to it .

Without any communication, Fortey and Fu Ling'an tacitly raised their guns at the same time, and the timing of firing the shots was not even the slightest difference.

Almost at the same moment, bright blood splashed suddenly from the melee crowd, which was more dazzling against the white clothes of Mengdan and the group.

Hanxiang was yelling at the top of her voice to let Mengdan leave, but she saw blood spattered on Mengdan's forehead, and then fell down without warning, unable to move anymore.

"Meng...Dan..." Hanxiang was stunned, and shouted in a daze, then scrambled and got off the carriage.

The two maids beside her were also stunned by this scene and forgot to stop her.

Hanxiang tremblingly hugged Mengdan, his body was still warm and his eyes were still open, but the red and white liquid from his forehead flowed out Hanxiang.

Hanxiang probed her nose, tested her pulse, and finally screamed terribly. She had never seen such a death before, it seemed calm, but extremely tragic.

At this time, Duolong approached Ali and Zhuo on horseback, and said: "Master Hezhuo, the princess seems to be in a very unstable mood, should I let her take a good rest?"

Ali and Zhuo were stunned by the accident, and they didn't wake up until they heard Duolong's voice, just in time to see Hanxiang put down Mengdan's body, hit the knife blade held by the person beside him, and shouted: "Stop her!"

Duolong flipped his hand, and a clod of mud flew towards Hanxiang, hitting her knee. Hanxiang fell to the ground, and was held up by the awakened maid. She yelled sadly: " Let me go, I want to stay with Mengdan, even death cannot separate us..."

Seeing that Hanxiang was restrained, Duolong would still be interested in watching this scene of dying for love, but now when he thinks of the cold ashes, he loses any mood, and only says to Ali and Zhuo: "He Zhuo My lord, it seems that there are still many people in your department who don't want to see you get along with the imperial court, but please rest assured, we will never be fooled by these tricks. They deliberately don't kill the warriors of your department, but treat me The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty rushed to kill them all, in order to make us jealous of Master He Zhuo, but unfortunately our general has long been aware of their plot and made them come and go."

Ali and Zhuo were shocked. They looked at Duolong with some fear, and looked up at the team of Fulkan and others who were shooting. They were a little far away and could not see their expressions clearly, but they could clearly see their movements. Everyone held their guns steadily, with the muzzle pointing downwards, but they had the aura of raising their guns to shoot at any time. The formation remained motionless, and the horseshoes never stepped on it. They were rigorous and serious.

Ali and Zhuo shivered, quickly forced a smile, and said to Duolong: "I am absolutely sincerely surrendering to the Qing Dynasty when I return to the army. The general is wise and has not been deceived by villains." It can only be concealed, and it is definitely their fault to make a fuss.

Duolong was not in the mood to listen to his praises to General Zhaohui, and I believe General Zhaohui would not care too much.Duo Long impatiently cast his eyes on Han Xiang who was still yelling, the two maids were almost unable to restrain her, but the soldiers beside her did not dare to approach her.

Sensing Duolong's sight, Ali and Zhuo frowned, stepped forward in person, raised their hands to knock Hanxiang unconscious, and ordered two maids to drag Hanxiang to the carriage to rest.It wasn't until this moment that he began to doubt whether his act of presenting his daughter was wrong, but the trend had already been created, and he had already reached the suburbs of Beijing, but he couldn't retreat at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and give it a go. Mengdan is dead, there is always a way to make Hanxiang give up, if you can make Hanxiang win Qianlong's favor, you don't need to worry about the future.

The author has something to say: (continued)

Duolong looked at Hanxiang being knocked out by Ali and Zhuo without sympathy, and glanced at the surviving men of Mengdan. With such accurate marksmanship, several people brought by Mengdan still survived. At this time, they were at a loss for what to do, and they were frightened by the power of the musket, so they dared not make any more moves. Rolling on the ground in pain.

Duo Long sighed, and said: "The bandit leader has been removed, and the rest are left to Mr. Zhuo to deal with."

After speaking, Duolong turned around and left.These few people are just following orders, without the leadership of Meng Dan who is obsessed with love, they will not cause too much trouble if they think about it.If Ali and Zhuo sent people to escort them back to the Ministry, Duolong and the others would not make too much trouble.

But before Duo Long was far away, he heard the voices of Ali and Zhuo behind him: "These thieves are scheming and trying to provoke the relationship between our department and the imperial court. It is really abominable. They will kill without mercy!"

Duolong's body on horseback paused slightly, but he didn't turn his head back. He rode back to his team.

The wind was blowing wildly, mixed with a slight smell of blood.
