Chapter 59 Reversal
Chen Wen's cavalry team was in Qi Jiguang's cavalry battalion. Each team had twelve people, except for the captain and fire soldiers, there were big sticks, boring palladium, gun sticks and three-eyed guns, and there were few bird guns. As for weapons such as sledgehammers and long swords, if it weren't for the storytelling of the storytellers in the city on weekdays, there were many powerful generals who used such weapons in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the handlebar style would not have been surprising at the beginning. Why did the Ming army not use these big killing weapons that destroyed the formation, and would not have been as surprised as today.
But it was too late for them to find some clues at this moment. The cavalry in Ming army uniforms stopped and observed for only a moment, and led a general in the helmet and armor to rush over, and at this moment they arrived closer.
"Miss Zhou, don't be fine!"
The generals led the team were not others, but Ni Liangxu who had chased him all the way from Tangxi County. It was only fifty or sixty miles between Tangxi County and Longyou County. Although it was nearly twice as far as the Zhou family's younger sister came from Huzhen Town, they rode all the way, and their speed was far faster than the slow carriage, so they came from behind.
The voice outside the car had been heard by the little sister of the Zhou family a few days ago, and naturally knew who was blocking her way. As for the coincidence or a trap, it was no longer important at this moment. Since he was stopped by him in Longyou County, a hundred miles away from last time, her identity and purpose were obviously exposed. Instead of hiding in the car like a turtle and waiting to be caught out, it is better to try it out with a dignified battle. Perhaps there is a chance to turn the tables.
"General Ni is really a believer. It is rare to escort me to Longyou all the way." As he said that, the little sister of the Zhou family walked out of the car. She stood proudly in front of the vicious cavalry in the costume of Confucian scholars, without any fear, especially against the backdrop of the maids and coachman who came with her.
The outfit of an ordinary man, even with makeup on his face, could not hide his beautiful face. When the personal soldiers around him were stunned, Ni Liangxu looked at this pretty face, and the first scene that appeared in front of him was the sentence "I am the surname He" with a faint smile.
This woman is by no means Yi Yu's role. The cavalry he led was riding all the way. If he only intercepted these three weak beings, he would naturally be able to capture it. But if he encountered the Ming army's cavalry, he would probably not even have the chance to escape. Time is too short, and the Ming army in the city must realize that they are not the same type to solve the problem, otherwise it would be more than just a waste of time.
But at this moment, the little girl in the Zhou family said, "I have two words to talk to General Ni privately, I wonder if it's okay?" Seeing Ni Liangxu for a moment, the little woman chased after him, "Are you still afraid of being a little girl?"
It is really not worth fearing that an unarmed woman is just an act of provocation. Although he knew it was a provocation, he was looked down upon by such a woman but still felt ashamed of him as a man. So, Ni Liangxu sighed, and then rode his horse to the side of the road with the woman one by one.
"Miss Zhou should hurry up. I am still rushing back to the city to report."
As soon as this said, Ni Liangxu was surprised to see the woman in front of him giggling. He seemed to have no idea what the meaning behind it was. Instead, he looked at him with a condescending gaze. Even though he was still riding on the horse at this moment, the woman was just standing on the ground.
Men are superior to women, which is a tradition since ancient times. Men are dominant in life, while women's life is spent by following their father before marriage, following their husbands after marriage, and spending their husbands death from their sons-in-law. Apart from special circumstances such as son-in-law, women are just men's accessories. In such a social environment, how can such gaze appear unless class differences exist.
Is it just because her brother is called Zhou Jingting, and Zhou Jingting is Chen Wen’s close aide?!
"It's getting late, and I'm still in a hurry to enter the city. I wonder if General Ni plans to meet Lin Haibo with me or send him here?"
What does this mean?!
The woman was too calm and unpretentious, and her every move was not artificial, which made Ni Liangxu suddenly begin to doubt that there was something hidden behind the setting sun at dusk, which made him not know how to answer for a while.
"As far as I know, General Ni was familiar with Prefect Sun in the past. I think he was not very happy with Prefect Sun's current situation, right?"
Hearing this, Ni Liangxu immediately realized the intention of the Zhou sister, and then sneered coldly: "Since Mrs. Zhou knows that this coach is from the Baitou Army, I think he should know that Brother Zhou and others have a good relationship with me. He would not think that this can be instigated to me."
"Instigate the rebellion?" The young girl of the Zhou family seemed to hear a funny joke, and even the lady covered her mouth and smiled, she didn't care about Ni Liangxu's gradually angry expression. "I never thought of instigating General Ni, but I had been in the boudoir for a long time, but I wanted to hear General Ni's opinion on Linhai Bo and Ma Jinbao."
Chen Wen and Ma Jinbao, do you still need to compare this?
Whether it was last year or this year, even the past battles between the two, Ma Jinbao didn't even deserve to carry his shoes to Chen Wen. This question was nonsense. However, just as this idea came up, Ni Liangxu immediately reacted. "Is Madam Zhou threatening me?"
It was indeed a threat. Ma Jinbao's town camp had almost no power to fight back last year, and often had no ability to fight back. But wasn't they the same when they faced Ma Jinbao? Otherwise, how could the huge white-headed army in Jinhua anti-Qing uprising be quickly suppressed by Ma Jinbao who moved to the town? Even the head coach Yin Can was captured and killed in Dongyang County, while they could only hide in Luo Chengyan, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Through the media of Ma Jinbao, the combat effectiveness of Chen Wen's army and their rebels can be seen at a glance. They did not have thought about this issue, but Chen Wen's desire to reunite was obvious. They would cooperate with civil officials such as Cao Conglong and Lu Wenlong in order to protect themselves. Otherwise, who would have nothing to do to provoke such a vicious god?
"Maybe General Ni believes that Cao Conglong's traitor has won. At least the city and the officers' families are in hand, so there is no need to worry about Linhai Bo's army. However, General Ni must have heard that Linhai Bo has never been defeated until now. Such a name will be plotted so easily. Do you think this is normal?"
Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of famous generals being plotted to death, but there have never been many counterattacks. Maybe they can still listen to some fun, but Chen Wenxin is now victorious to the elite of the Qing army in Zhejiang, and even surrounded Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. The process is unknown to them. However, the impression of using fraud since last year still affects him, so he dared not speak out the well-known example of the storyteller who has been told countless times.
"Miss Zhou Xiaozi hopes that I will let you wait so that I can tell Mr. Linhai about Governor Cao?"
“That’s exactly that!”
He said frankly without any concealment. He thought that the little sister of the Zhou family would say something about them, but he got such an answer, and such an answer was also the bargaining chip he planned to use to suppress the woman's momentum.
"Miss Zhou is frank, but if I wait to silence you, wouldn't it be possible to hide it for a while? Isn't it much simpler than riding a fence on both sides?" After saying that, Ni Liangxu's right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and his personal soldiers followed him for many years. He knew that he had the intention of killing at this moment, and just waited for the long sword to be unsheathed and wanted to get rid of the three unarmed people.
