Siming Mountain, where Ye Dazhen's uprising was also left with unforgettable memories for Yuan Qi. In the battle of Siming Mountain, the vigorous anti-Qing uprising failed. Ye Dazhen and several great masters were defeated and killed. The elite forces of the entire Laojun Sect were wiped out, and even Yuan Qi almost lost his life in this battle.

Siming Mountain covers a wide area and is located in an important area in southern Zhejiang. Siming Lake is not far away. It is indeed a good place from a geographical point of view. Unfortunately, Siming Mountain has its innate shortcomings. It is located in the hinterland of Fujian and Zhejiang, and is surrounded by important towns in various prefectures in all directions. It is convenient for officers and soldiers to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress. In addition, there are many plain water towns outside Siming Mountain, which is not conducive to movement. Once it is cut off from the main road and surrounded by groups, Siming Mountain will almost die. It can be said that Ye Dadashi chose Siming Mountain as the place of the uprising from the beginning.

Yuan Qi carefully considered this after the defeat of Siming Mountain and also realized this truth. However, since leaving Yuyao, Yuan Qi still marched towards Siming Mountain under the banner of the Ming Dynasty's anti-Qing marshal. However, after the team walked nearly a hundred miles away, Yuan Qi suddenly ordered the team to turn around and walk northwest, bypass the Yiting Pavilion and head straight to Shangyu.

Recruiting soldiers in Yuyao, and with the several White Lotus Corsairs contacted by Gao Jin, who came to gather. When the team approached Shangyu, Yuan Qi had nearly 6,000 people in his hands. Although this number was still a lot different from the 10,000 people he had boasted about, it was a world of difference compared to the few dozen people he had lost to Simingshan.

Among the 6,000 people, about 000 people were directly under Yuan Qi's command, and among these 000 people, there were more than 450 people in his old camp. The remaining nearly 000 people came from dozens of White Lotus sects such as the Hongyang Sect, Bagua Sect, Hunyuan Sect, and Dayang Sect. Among them, there were nearly four or five hundred people, and dozens of people were fewer. In addition to the shopkeeper and the boss, there were also "masters", marshals, etc.

When all the righteous men came to surrender, Yuan Qi could not favor one or the other. After reporting Zhu Yicheng's "Holy Prison", he received the order to be appointed as an official, and he also granted more than ten official positions such as marquis, uncles, generals, commanders and other officials. Moreover, after the sneak attack on Yuyao, Yuan Qi was not as shabby as he had hidden in the mountains. He had soldiers and money in his hands, and all kinds of ceremonial guards were also started. Not to mention Zhu Yicheng's achievements, he finally got rid of the embarrassment of wearing costumes and also mixed up with a prince's costume with a round front and a nine-standard front and back.

Riding on a tall horse and looking at the vast army in front and behind, Yuan Qi felt the heroic spirit of a real man in his chest.

But in a decorated carriage in the middle of the team, Zhu Yicheng, wearing princely clothes, was not happy at all, but was more worried.

In just one week, Yuan Qi's team was pulled up like a balloon, and he became the governor of the Ming Dynasty. He looked majestic, but in fact, Zhu Yicheng was more sober than anyone in this era. Although Yuan Qi is now soaring, it is all illusions. In the Kangxi Dynasty, it is purely an old birthday star hanging himself - he dislikes his life long.

If Zhu Yicheng could be given the opportunity to choose independently, he would not do this even if he was beaten to death. Unfortunately, since this era, everything that has not been controlled by Zhu Yicheng himself. He was like a drowning person jumping into a vortex, and could only go with the flow and be moved by the waves of the times. Perhaps one day he hit the head of the reef and was photographed to pieces.

These days, Zhu Yicheng couldn't eat well and sleep well. How many times did he wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, looking at the dark night with his fearful eyes. He was extremely scared, afraid that the ending day would come. Especially when Zhu Yicheng talked about the Qing Dynasty in a conversation with Zhou Zhongliang, Zhu Yicheng made up his mind and would rather be killed by a knife on the battlefield than be pulled to the execution ground to suffer the pain of being cut into pieces.

Since that day, Zhu Yicheng has specially asked someone for a dagger to hide it in his arms. If that time really comes, then he will be relieved. However, it is too early to say this now. Even ants are greedy for life, let alone Zhu Yicheng? He would never do this unless he had to.

"Your Highness, please have a meal."

A weak and slightly trembling voice sounded in his ears, interrupting Zhu Yicheng's meditation. The person who spoke was a girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old. The delicate girl knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Yicheng with a plate of food, her head drooped in front of her chest and didn't even dare to look up at him.

After taking Yuyao County, the entire family of the county government officials were basically killed by Yuan Qi, and destroyed them. As for several wealthy businessmen in the county, they were also investigated and threatened. The girl and the other girls were the daughters of several wealthy businessmen in the original county. They "represented" under Yuan Qi's anti-Qing righteousness. For this reason, Yuan Qi also specially asked for an "authority" to each of the wealthy businessmen. In addition to leaving two of the most beautiful ones, and giving one to Gao Jin and Wang Yousan each, the remaining inconspicuous little woman was also given to Zhu Yicheng as a gift to warm the bed for His Royal Highness the Superintendent.

Zhu Yicheng didn't care about the messy things, not to mention that his hair was so worried about saving his life that he had to worry about the junior high school student Chai Heniu at all. He didn't pay attention to the name of the girl who delivered food to him in front of him.

"Let me put it there, I am not hungry now." Zhu Yicheng had no appetite and glanced at the food box and said.

"Please have a meal..." The little girl did not put down the food box as Zhu Yicheng ordered, but lowered her head and repeated in a timid voice.

Zhu Yicheng frowned and wanted to say something, but when she saw her trembling body, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was a pitiful person who couldn't help but think of this. Zhu Yicheng responded helplessly, and then started to eat under the girl's service.

It was said that it was a meal, but in fact, something good came there. In addition to the food box, it was just a very ordinary food. It swallowed the food slowly like chewing wax. After eating, Zhu Yicheng said to the girl who was cleaning up, "Go and invite Mr. Zhou here."

"Yes..." the little girl responded repeatedly, packed her food box and left the carriage. After a while, Zhou Zhongliang's voice rang out.

"My minister Zhou Zhongliang pays homage to His Highness the Superintendent..."

"Come in."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After getting on the carriage, Zhou Zhongliang entered the carriage. The first thing he did was to give Zhu Yicheng a big gift. Zhu Yicheng no longer stopped him like before. Anyway, receiving the gift himself has become a habit these days. After Zhou Zhongliang finished giving the gift, Zhu Yicheng asked a few questions about the marching of the team, and Zhou Zhongliang answered respectfully one by one.

After saying a few words about the conversation without nutrition, Zhu Yicheng then gave Zhou Zhongliang a look and asked quietly: "How is the matter that I asked you to do?"

"It's not easy to go back to Your Highness." Zhou Zhongliang smiled bitterly and said, "Donald Zhongyong is now in a heavy army, and everyone is full of Zhongyong Gong. I am alone and alone..."

"You need to say this?" Zhu Yicheng said dissatisfiedly: "You are a smart person, and I don't hide my thoughts from you. Although everyone here is a loyal and brave man, I am also a righteous man from the Ming Dynasty. Is there no loyal minister who really cares about Gu? Besides, besides loyal man, there are all kinds of people, as a Grand Secretary, you can't share your worries for Gu? You must know that when the boat capsizes, neither of you nor me will be able to get better!"

"Please be careful with your words!" Zhou Zhongliang was startled and quickly turned around and looked out of the car. He sighed relieved after seeing no one paying attention: "Your Highness knows what you said, and I am also working hard. However, you must not let Zhongyong know about this matter. Your Highness should know the power of it. But please rest assured that you already have a few candidates in your heart. As long as you give me some more time, I will definitely live up to your entrustedness."
