The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 66 Gao Jie
Outside Chunhua city, break into the army camp.

The night wind was blowing, blowing away a trace of heat.

The lights in the tent were dim, and only a small slit was exposed in the curtain. Gao Jie stood by the side of the curtain, looking out of the tent silently.

His figure was completely hidden in the tent, only a pair of shiny black eyes were exposed in the small slits.

It was pitch black outside the tent, and there was no sound, not even a single person walking around.

This is the place where the army's weapons, food and grass are stored, and all goods are piled up.

Chuang's army has more than [-] soldiers, and the company has a battalion of more than ten miles. Even if the surrounding trees are cut down, there is no way to use them for lighting every night.

Therefore, most of the time, the Chuangjun only set up open flames on the periphery at night, and at the same time set up patrolling horse troops and fine cavalry.

In the camps, most of them have only one lighting point far apart.

The night watch team will hold torches and patrol the camp at intervals to maintain basic order.

The military tent Gao Jie was in had extremely thick tarpaulins, and the light inside was barely visible, and it was completely integrated with other tents.

Just when Gao Jie was concentrating on looking at the situation outside the tent, a pair of catkins came from behind and hugged his waist.

A faint fragrance came, and a warm air came from behind his ears, slowly lingering in his ears.

There was a softness on the back, and a lazy female voice rang softly in Gao Jie's ear.

"Don't look, he has already fallen asleep."

Gao Jie's lower abdomen was slightly hot, and he felt an evil fire in his heart.

The female voice was lazy, full of charming charm, and she chuckled lightly.

"Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong are now in the outer camp, in case the Ming army attacks the camp at night, what are you afraid of?"

Gao Jie's breathing became slightly heavier, and he felt that the catkin that was originally placed in his waist and abdomen was slowly moving down.

Gao Jie grabbed the hands that were about to move down, and then slowly turned around.

Gao Jie's eyes were frighteningly bright, and a plump and beautiful woman was reflected in them.

The beautiful woman was wearing a light blue pleated embroidered skirt and a gold hairpin on her head, with a dignified and gorgeous demeanor.

The beautiful eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows are as full as water, and there seems to be infinite amorous feelings flowing in the Danfeng eyes covered with thin rouge.

As the saying goes: To die under a peony flower is to be a ghost.

Gao Jie really understood the meaning of this sentence.

The beautiful woman in front of him is none other than Li Zicheng's wife Xing.

Even though he had seen it thousands of times, Gao Jie still couldn't help trembling in his heart, and the evil fire couldn't stop surging upwards.

Gao Jie let out a muffled snort, and hugged the beautiful woman in front of him directly by the waist, reached a wooden box covered with bedding, and pressed her under him.

……

Gao Jie fastened the belt around his waist again, and slowly tidied up his clothes.

Not only did his heartbeat not calm down, but it beat even harder.

"Li Zicheng doesn't know about the two of us, but Liu Zongmin seems to have noticed something. I don't think it will be long."

Gao Jie looked solemn, tightened the girdle around his waist, and said in a low voice.

"Last August, there was a chance."

Before Gao Jie finished speaking, Xing's lazy voice came from behind him.

"But you dislike He Renlong and Xu's military rank is too low, and you make trouble later on, who can you blame?"

Gao Jie's expression was slightly dark. When Chen Qiyu, the Governor of Officers and Soldiers, sent General He Renlong to rescue Longzhou, he did have a chance.

Both he and He Renlong were from Mizhi, Shaanxi. He used Li Zicheng's order to discuss matters with He Renlong.

He thought it was very secretive, but he didn't expect Liu Zongmin to be staring at him all the time.

It is said that the messenger who sent the letter saw him first, and then Li Zicheng.

It was Liu Zongmin's words that aroused Li Zicheng's suspicion. Although he concealed it, he was later dispatched to guard the camp.

"It's over, and it's too late to regret it now."

Gao Jie sighed.

"I should have listened to Madam back then..."

Xing's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she gave Gao Jie an annoyed look.

"The rank of officers and soldiers is not good. The leader of the 36th Battalion surrendered, let alone the commander-in-chief, even the generals and guerrillas were not awarded, and the highest was only a Chinese army."

"It's good for you, just ask He Renlong for a guerrilla, and you don't know how to discuss it with me."

Xing was much calmer than Gao Jie, and he didn't see a trace of frowning at all.

Although she is a woman, her background and experience are much higher than Gao Jie's.

She is basically handling all the internal affairs in the army, military equipment, military ration allocation, and weapon supply, all of which are handled by her.

Xing's complexion turned slightly red, and she was very satisfied with Gao Jie's attitude.

She is knowledgeable and can listen to many things she has to say, and she is not completely independent. Many things are completely opposite to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng is headstrong, always thinks she is a woman and looks down on her, and has been quite indifferent to her for a long time, like a stuffy bottle.

Xing tidied up the messy clothes on her body, she thought that Liu Zongmin's eyes were really wrong when he saw her recently.

"The best way now is for the two of us to escape overnight."

"I know a lot of things about Li Zicheng's army. You have led the army anyway, and you know a lot of details. You can change your official position if you surrender to the court."

If the matter between her and Gao Jie was found out, according to Li Zicheng's character, I'm afraid life would be worse than death.

With Xing's beautiful eyes, Gao Jie also had a little friendship with He Renlong, but now He Renlong is far away in Xingping, beyond his reach, he has lost the best opportunity.

"Back when I led the troops to surrender, I only promised a thousand bosses. This time..."

Gao Jie was a little hesitant. He used to think that the position of Chief Qian was too small. Now that he had passed, he might have to go down a few more levels. He still hesitated in his heart.

Xing's Liu Mei frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something.

Xing stood up, blew out the candle, and walked to the front of the curtain.

"If you want a high position, it's not like you don't have a chance now..."

Xing slowly opened the curtain and said in a low voice.

Gao Jie raised his head, just in time to see the lights on Chunhua City.

……

"Ming History":
"Gao Jie, a native of Mizhi. He lived in the same town as Li Zicheng and became a bandit together."

"In the eighth month of leap in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Governor Chen Qiyu sent General He Renlong to rescue Longzhou, and was besieged."

"Zicheng Lingjie's suicide note invites people to turn against him, and he will not report it."

"When the envoy returns, he first sees the hero, and then he sees his own success. After two months of besieging the city, he doubted the hero. He sent the other generals to the next generation, and the hero returned to the camp."

"Since I became a wife, Wu Duozhi of the Xing family is in charge of military resources, and provides food for battles every day. Jie went to the family's camp, and the points were matched."

"Your family is very handsome, and if you get along with him, you may become aware of yourself and plan to surrender. In August of the following year, you will steal Xing's family and come back."
