Chen Wen and the Sun family are a favorite. If it were someone else, who would dare to shout at the home of Sun Fuzun, who is known for his strict self-discipline and strict treatment of others.

At this time, Sun Yu, who was walking with him, was not at all dissatisfied with Chen Wen's rudeness. Chen Wen had lived in his house for a while while in Dalan Mountain. The two of them were close friends, and Chen Wen was Sun Yu's eldest son's godfather. With such a relationship, Sun Yu just smiled and walked side by side.

Accompanied by Chen Wen's cheerful laughter, the two of them quickly walked to the door. Sun Yu pushed open the door casually, but what they saw was his wife and a strange woman about to get up to salute. But after a moment of seeing the woman's appearance, Sun Yu immediately guessed the identity of the person.

"Miss Zhou?"

It is not only Sun Yu who guessed that the Zhou family’s younger sister was in Chen Wenmu for half a year and had been with each other day. Moreover, Chen Wen had seen the Zhou family’s younger sister dressed as a man in Quzhou, so there was no reason that she could not recognize.

"I have met Linhai Bo and the Mansion Master."

The sudden uninvited guest did not affect the etiquette of the Zhou family's younger sister. It was not until both parties saw the ceremony that the Zhou family retreated to Yi Qing. After Yi Qing's low voice teasing "This is my son's godfather" attached to his ear, he thought in shame and waited for the Sun couple to speak and then stood up and left.

At the same time, ignoring the Sun couple who were discussing what to eat for lunch, Chen Wen focused all his attention on the woman he had seen in Quzhou before.

The last time we met, the young sister of the Zhou family not only disguised herself as a man, but seemed to have deliberately changed her outfit. However, even so, Chen Wen still saw her gender. At that time, she felt that her facial features were delicate and her appearance should be quite good. Moreover, he quickly fell into thinking about rebellion at that time, and had never seen her again since, so her impression was relatively vague.

But now, the delicate pretty face as delicate as porcelain seems to break if it is a little hard. The skin is fair, supplemented by the shallow pink and the unique softness of women in the water town of Jiangnan, and it looks even more beautiful and unparalleled. The tall and even symmetrical waist outlines the slender waist, and the unsatisfactory youth that has not yet faded adds a lot of unique softness to a girl. If it is said that Chen Wen only felt that this woman was just a good appearance in the camp of Quzhou for the first time, then the ancient costume beauty who walked out of the landscape painting at this moment really made Chen Wen’s eyes lit up, and even his breathing was stagnant.

However, when the big eyes as clear as water entered their sight with a little shyness and anger, Chen Wen suddenly remembered the scene when the Zhou family returned to the city last year. The familiarity that once lingered in his heart only awakened some of his hidden parts in his heart in a moment.

"Chen Wen, you're just a big fool!"

"goodbye."

Graduation often means unemployment, and often means going their separate ways. Years have passed, and the curiosity and scrutiny gaze when I first met is always hidden deep in Chen Wen's heart, just like when I was watching the Zhou family and his team that day, especially the source of the sight seems so similar to the eyes of the past under the cover of the gauze.

It is not to be ignored that the Zhou family’s younger sister is far superior to the woman in Chen Wen’s memory in appearance, but after this moment of trance, Chen Wen quickly woke up from the depths of her memory. Chen Wen took a deep breath, as if to use oxidation to make the fragility in her heart harden again.

I can't go back to the past; even if I can go back to the past, I can't go back to the past.

At this moment, as the woman in front of Chen Wen was surprised, her curious and scrutinized eyes flashed and she stood up and left. However, she had just stepped out of the back door of the government office and had not had time to board the carriage. A voice behind her made her give up her plan to ride the car temporarily.

"I'm right with Miss Zhou, so why not let me take you off for a trip, okay?"

"This, then there will be a sir."

Since the two were walking together, even the fool could see Chen Wen's attentiveness. So, the maid of the Zhou family's younger sister and Chen Wen's personal soldiers were far behind, while the Zhou family's carriage followed the last.

"The rebellion was able to be quelled quickly, and Mrs. Zhou made great contributions."

"The righteous acts performed by Lin Haibo are protected by God. I am just following the trend and not worth mentioning."

Hearing this, Chen Wen shook his head. "After Pingyang, it is hard to see a female hero like Miss Zhou."

Chen Wen's words surprised the Zhou sister because according to her brother, Chen Wen's actions at this moment were very abnormal.

"Princess Pingyang recruited the rebel army and captured the cities and territory. The army was disciplined and ordered to go out like a mountain. Even Qu Tutong was defeated by the horse. I just took the maid and the coachman out for a long journey, and I really didn't dare to compare with that young master Li."

The answer of the Zhou sister made Chen Wen's eyes lit up. The Pingyang princess he mentioned was not the wife of Wei Qing, the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, the sister of Emperor Wu of Han, but the daughter of Li Yuan, the famous general of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, and the wife of Chai Shao, the famous general of the early Tang Dynasty. His deeds are recorded in "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang". The first time Chen Wen heard about this character was because of a martial arts novel, the princess was given the name of Li Xiuning and became the rumored girlfriend of a male pig's feet.

"Miss Zhou Xiaozi is knowledgeable and knowledgeable."

"Don't dare."

The two have walked a long way. Although there is no one to interact with the road they chose, there is a question that the little sister of the Zhou family does not intend to miss this opportunity.

"I wonder, how do you view Mr. Zhuowu's theory?"

Mr. Zhuo Wu is Li Zhi, which is a question that the Zhou family’s younger sister has long wanted to know. Today, Chen Wen inexplicably caught up with him. It just so happened that the day was better than the day.

Unfortunately, the title of Mr. Zhuowu seemed very unfamiliar to Chen Wen. It was confirmed that she was not a misjudgment. Amid Chen Wen's confusion and confusion, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the young sister of the Zhou family. Then, she used the excuse that it was not convenient for Chen Wen to continue escorting her, so she got on the carriage and left alone, leaving only Chen Wen standing there, watching the carriage passing through the corner in the distance.

Li Zhi!

Confusion no longer existed, and even seemed to have never appeared before, Chen Wen carefully savored everything represented by these two words. It was not until a long time later that he trembled as if he was shaking for a while before he called his subordinates to ride his horse towards the city gate.

"It is really worthy of being the late Ming Dynasty. Women from a wealthy family actually developed the idea of ​​freedom and equality. It seems that they have only read Li Zhi's forbidden books."

"It's a pity that Li Zhi's ending in that era when traditional politics has been solidified may only be a tragedy. Perhaps it is really not as easy as the chaotic today to start a new mind."

"Maybe, I can do more!"

……………………

On August 24, the fifth year of Yongli, the Hongdou Villa in Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture was as quiet as usual.

Since Qian Qianyi retired, the couple Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi have privately sponsored the Anti-Qing Rebel Army, persuaded the Qing officials to do anything, and contacted anti-Qing people from all over the southeast to convey information to the Ming army. Therefore, there are always anti-Qing people in Hongdou Villa, but on the surface, they still maintain the normal state that the master is obsessed with poetry and wine.

However, the news of the news in Nanzhili has been relatively tense recently. The Qian family has been using the head of the family to leave behind the door to thank the guests after accidental cold. They thought they could temporarily put the worries of the outside world behind, but they waited for an uninvited guest.

The visitor was dressed the same as the ordinary peddlers and pawns in the occupied areas of the Qing Dynasty. The medium figure was also inconspicuous in the crowd. He just carried a hat and always covered his face intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was afraid that others would see it. When the Qian family's concierge saw the visitor handing over a post, he carefully checked it and respectfully invited it in. He was soon taken to a remote courtyard deep in the villa.

After entering the house, when the person came to take off his hat, Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi looked at each other, and then walked out and practiced calligraphy on a stone table in the courtyard where the dark clouds had just begun to spread. They just turned their eyes to the main hall where the door had already been closed.

The servants and maids of the Qian family knew that although the Qian family had a bad background, they were deeply favored by the head of the family. They even violated etiquette and married him with great rituals. They were once unwilling tolerated by people at that time. This lady was quite a good temper on weekdays, and she only practiced calligraphy. She did not allow others to disturb her except Qian Qianyi when she wrote poetry. So when she saw Liu Rushi practicing calligraphy in the courtyard, the servants retreated one after another, and each was busy with their own work. Only Liu Rushi's personal maid stayed outside the courtyard and listened to the orders of the Hou.

The courtyard had been cleared and there was no worry about the partition walls, so the two people in the house sat down and started talking.

"Taichong, have you heard that Kong Youde died in Guilin and the king's regained Guangxi?"

The visitor was none other than Huang Zongxi, Yuyao, who served as the left deputy chief censor in the Lujian court.

Hearing Qian Qianyi’s question, Huang Zongxi shook his head and then said, “Wen Mu, I have learned about this on the road, and this is for the purpose of Zhejiang East.”

East Zhejiang?

As soon as he heard the word "East Zhejiang", Qian Qianyi immediately understood the purpose of Huang Zongxi's arrival. If there were two major events in Zhejiang last year, there were still two major events: the Battle of Zhoushan and Chen Wenguang's restoration of Jinhua Prefecture, but they had discussed this matter long ago. Huang Zongxi could not have made another trip for the things he had notified. Since that is the case, then there was only the thing he heard from other scholars who were running for the Qing Dynasty not long ago.

"Cao Yunlin and Chen Weng are fighting, can Mu Weng know about this?"

Qian Qianyi had already learned about Chen Wen's regaining Jinhua last year from his acquaintances among the Han officials of the Qing Dynasty and Wei Geng, who came to see him from Huzhou, Guizhuang and others. However, it was not as complicated as Wei Geng and others, Qian Qianyi felt very complicated in his heart about this matter.

On the one hand, Chen Wen recovered Jinhua Prefecture and smashed the heavy encirclement of the Qing army. This was the greatest victory achieved by the Ming army in the Southeast in recent years, and he also recovered the territory of a mansion, which made him feel very relieved. But on the other hand, Ma Jinbao, the general general of Jinhua of the Qing Dynasty, was Qian Qianyi's most important target of rebellion. He believed that Ma Jinbao would sooner or later, as long as the situation was slightly more tilted towards the Ming army...

But now, Chen Wen, who killed Li Rong, the deputy general of the Left Camp last year, broke into Jinhua Mansion. Although he recovered the lost territory, he completely crippled the strength of the target he wanted to instigate him, so that Qian Qianyi felt a little unhappy from the bottom of his heart.

If he followed his idea, it would be better for Chen Wen to recover other prefectures and counties. He would persuade Ma Jinbao anyway, and then the two generals would advance together to recover Hangzhou and even Nanjing. In this way, the strength of the Ming army would be stronger than now, and the two generals were in the same province and it would be more convenient for civil servants to check and balance.

However, things had already happened, Qian Qianyi had to rethink his plan, but there was no need to change his strategy from the overall situation, and he just modified the part of Zhejiang.

As for the Cao Conglong Rebellion, he also received news from the same channels, including Chen Wen's quelling the rebellion, purge and Lingchi's execution of Ma Jinbao. However, when he first heard about it, the panic after thinking about it, and the uneasiness after thinking about it, Qian Qianyi's thoughts about nothing less than Huang Zongxi, and even more.

"How is Cao Yunlin now?"

Seeing that Qian Qianyi obviously knew about this, Huang Zongxi replied: "Cao Yunlin was not in a way. Lin Haibo did not make things difficult for him, but just placed himself in a tightly guarded house. In addition, Lin Haibo's memorial had been sent to Fujian. Although this person was not a good person, he also knew the bottom line."

"fine."

Qian Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that once Chen Wen executed Cao Conglong without authorization, it would mean that it would be impossible to cooperate with other Ming troops. It would have a great impact on the plan he had always been committed to instigating various Ming troops to jointly fight and restore the Yangtze River defense line and then to attack the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition.

But there is still another problem now, which will inevitably affect the overall situation...

"Taichong, I got news last month that the Tatars sent infantry commander Aljin to lead a unit of the Eight Banners of Manchuria to the south, intending to pacify the southeast. At the beginning of the month, the army went south from the canal, but later did not go south directly, but instead turned upstream. It seemed that they were planning to go to Jiangxi, but the destination was not known to be Quzhou, Guangdong, or Huguang."

Jiangxi is located at a critical moment, connecting the southeast battlefield and the southwest battlefield. The elite Qing army went to Quzhou, and the target was Chen Wen; if it went to Guangdong, it might be Zheng Chenggong from southern Fujian, but the more likely one was to prevent Li Dingguo from entering Guangdong; there was only one last destination, which was self-evident.

"In addition, there is news that Nikan, one of the three kings of the Tartars, led a large army composed of real Manchuria to head south, with the goal being to point directly to the southwest, and is already on the road at this moment."

Qian Qianyi had sent people to inform the Ming army in the southwest, but the great victory in Guilin had not happened when Arjin set out. Historically, the purpose of Arjin's southward journey was to wipe out the remnants of the Ming army in the four prefectures of Gao, Lei, Lian and Qiong in the eastern and western parts of Guangxi, as well as the Chaozhou general Hao Jiushang, who could rebel at any time. However, Chen Wen's sudden emergence on the battlefield in Zhejiang made Arjin set out early, and his goal became Chen Wen, who was more threatening.

This matter is no longer something they can do clearly. They must inform Chen Wen in time and make preparations in advance. Qian Qianyi had sent someone to notify Huang Zongxi before, but he did not expect that Huang Zongxi would come directly after leaving Jinhua, but instead missed the messenger.

However, when Huang Zongxi heard of this important military situation, his attention had been focused on Nikan. Neikan himself or the army composed of "real Manchuria" were much more terrifying than the small army of thousands of people in Alzin. But after a moment of trance, Huang Zongxi immediately realized the problem. What Nikan could threaten was the Ming army in the southwest. They could not reach there. At present, they must beware of Alzin and Chen Jin joining together to deal with Chen Wen, or Zheng Chenggong who was still siegeing the city to attack Zheng Chenggong, which is the key at the moment.

After exchanging the information they received recently, Huang Zongxi said goodbye and returned to Jinhua. Although he had always disliked Chen Wen, this general and the army that won the battles were all due to Wang Yi's efforts when he was alive. Huang Zongxi could not sit idly by and watch them be wiped out by the Qing army. Moreover, Chen Wen is not useless.

After seeing Huang Zongxi off, Liu Rushi returned to the room where Qian and Huang secretly discussed.

"Does Huang Taichong still believe that Lin Haibo is a remnant of the eunuch party?"

The view of the eunuch party's remnants was mentioned by Huang Zongxi when he came to pay homage to Qian Qianyi at the end of the year before yesterday. The reason was the letter written to him by Wang Yi about Chen Wen's opposition to beg for his master. This matter has changed due to the existence of the eunuch party's remnants, and Chen Wen's boycott of Japan has been regarded as a political stand-in by them.

However, Chen Wen has been fighting through all obstacles in recent years and has been able to break through the impossible. Moreover, Huang Zongxi always felt that he owed Wang Yi and Chen Wen some of it. In addition, Chen Wen was from Wang Yi's general, so even if he didn't like Chen Wen, he still went south to Jinhua again and again. After all, he had no other choice on the battlefield in Zhejiang.

"Taichong is still the old thinking of Old Donglin. It is extremely rare to be able to achieve this level now." After that, Qian Qianyi sighed and then said: "But in the current situation, if he still sticks to the party's opinions, how can the royal army of various departments fight side by side? I'm afraid that not only will it not only be unable to revive the Ming Dynasty, but China will also be destroyed by the Tartars again."

Qian Qianyi's lament immediately aroused Liu Rushi's approval. When Qian Qianyi was imprisoned twice by the Qing Dynasty, it was Liu Rushi who ran hard to rescue him from the prison. Later, he planned to fight against the Qing Dynasty, collect information for the Ming army, convey information, and even sell property to support the rebel army. These things were completed under the inspiration of Liu Rushi. The two of them were no longer the original sing of poetry and prose, but the revolutionary companion who could share the joys and sorrows in the true sense.

At this moment, Qian Qianyi's sigh was filled with unfavorable feelings for the current situation. Liu Rushi knew very well that this was not as simple as Huang Zongxi's matter. The Cao Conglong Rebellion completely disrupted Qian Qianyi's thinking and further aroused his uneasiness. As for Ma Jinbao's death, it eliminated the previous hesitation.

"I have to find a way to figure out whether Uncle Wang Chang really committed to the Tartars or thought it was a snake." Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi turned to another thing with an elusive jumping mindset. "Holy Lord, when the wind gradually slows down, it is time for me to leave to see the famous general of the Southeast dynasty in person."
