False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 13 Meeting Three Female Men

"drive!"

Cao Qing has already begun to enjoy the joy of galloping fast horses in the open fields.

"Eunuch Cao, I didn't expect you to be so good at riding a horse in less than an hour. It's really surprising." Tian Shixian clamped his legs, and the horse walked forward tacitly, and caught up with him. Cao Qing shoulder-to-shoulder position.

"Hey, if it wasn't for Lord Tian Baihu's suggestion, I really wouldn't be able to enjoy such a hearty and hearty affair." Cao Qing laughed.Thinking back to the time when the driving test was changed again and again, I failed to pass the third test after taking the make-up test several times, and contributed a lot of fees to the traffic police in vain.Only a few days after traveling to Daming, he was able to gallop on horseback.

At this time, the Yongding River was in an extremely remote place in the capital of Daming.Tian Shixian was really right. If he came by horse-drawn carriage, more than half of the road would have to be walked. It was really not easy to find a suitable location in a short time.

"Eunuch Cao, what kind of place do you need to find? Tell me, most of Jin Yiwei's brothers are from the capital. Some of them are familiar with the Yongding River," Tian Shixian said.

Cao Qing was right when he thought about it. He was not very familiar with the Yongding River at first, and the Yongding River at the end of Ming Dynasty was completely different from the capital hundreds of years later.At that time, a large reservoir, Guanting Reservoir, was built in the Yongding River Basin.Moreover, the course of the Yongding River has been changing all the time, so it is often called the Unfixed River.And because the upper reaches are loess slopes, the water in this river is like the Yellow River.Not only is it not beneficial to the capital, but it is necessary to prevent floods all year round.However, in history, before the Ming Dynasty, water conservancy facilities were built here.However, Cao Qing did not know the location of these water conservancy facilities.So Cao Qing stated the required hydrological conditions and terrain requirements together.

"Did you all hear what Eunuch Cao said? Is anyone familiar with Yongding River? If you know such a place, tell us quickly, and we won't have to look around so hard. The Yongding River is so long, we Even if it takes ten days and half a month, I'm afraid it may not be possible to go all the way." Tian Shixian said.

"Master Tian, ​​Beizhi's family is near Shijingshan. There is a place that matches what Eunuch Cao said. And when I was playing there when I was a child, there seemed to be a stone dam built by the previous dynasty. The nearby farmlands are all built by that stone. Irrigate with the water from the dam." A school captain named Lei Chun stood up.

"How far is it from here? Let's go and have a look." Cao Qing was overjoyed.

"It's not very far, it's not far ahead, it's just over the mountain." Lei Chun said.

Everyone immediately whipped up their whips and rushed to Shijingshan.

But when everyone rushed to Shijingshan, they saw a deserted scene, which was not at all like what Lei Chun said.

"It's really strange. A few years ago, this place was still a piece of farmland, but now it's so deserted." Lei Chun said.

"What's so strange about this? All the fields have been annexed. Those peasants lost their land and had no way of living, so they had to move to other places. Without people to cultivate, these lands were slowly abandoned. These gentry are really disgusting Common people, it's hard!" Said Wang Gui, a member of Jin Yiwei.

"Wang Dazui! Don't talk nonsense here. These fields may have been designated as Huangzhuang. How can you say that?" Tian Shixian said.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here. I heard it, and it's coming in from the left ear and coming out from the right ear. It's just air. It's better if it's barren. We just let our military bureau work here. Come, Lei Chun, take me to you Go out of the place you said." Cao Qing laughed.

"Okay, Eunuch Cao, it's not far ahead." Lei Chun said.

A group of people rushed over quickly.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sudden sound of an arrow piercing through the air.

"Protect your lord!" Tian Shixian shouted angrily.

Jin Yiwei immediately trained and said to act.This Jin Yiwei was the elite of the Ming Dynasty's elite army, and his reaction speed was indeed extraordinary.After a short while, those Jin Yiwei had already surrounded Cao Qing in the middle.

"Protect your lord! Dazui! Follow me!" After Tian Shixian had already protected Cao Qing, he quickly rushed towards the location where the arrow was fired.

Xing Shanhai has lived in the Tianjing Mountain Guard Commander for many years, and the Xing family has also settled down near Tianjing Mountain.Xing Shanhai had three daughters, but never had a son.The eldest daughter's name is Xing Hongniang, the second daughter's name is Xing Yuanyuan, and the third daughter's name is Xing Xiuniang.All three daughters inherited the style of their father.Riding horses and hunting every day is majestic.

Just now, Hongniang Xing saw a hare in the distance, so she drew an arrow and shot, but she didn't expect that there would be a group of Jinyi guards passing by in this wilderness.

"Shot! Shot!"

Xing Hongniang excitedly rode over and was about to pick up the hare on the ground, but she didn't want to be surrounded by several intruders.

"Who are you waiting for? You actually disturbed your lord!" Tian Shixian shouted loudly.

"Who are you? This is my Xing family's private manor. I didn't ask you why you broke into my Xing family's private property. How dare you be so rude!" Xing Hongniang is not afraid of threats from Tian Shixian.

"Bold!" Lei Chun and Wang Gui shouted in unison, pulling out the steel knife at their waists like a reflex.

Xing Hongniang stretched out her hand to wear the long sword, and this matter was also drawn out.

"Wait a minute!" Tian Shixian was more mature, looking at Xing Hongniang as if he was not an ordinary person.Lei Chun and Wang Gui still held the sword in their hands, but they didn't rush forward to fight with Xing Hongniang.Xing Hongniang's two younger sisters are also about to rush over.

"Yuanyuan! Take your sister back and tell your father!" Hongniang Xing said.

Seeing so many capable soldiers here, Xing Yuanyuan knew that even if they came over, they would definitely be captured by the opponent.

"Sister, hold on for a while, I'll go back and tell daddy!" Xing Yuanyuan led Xing Xiuniang to flee quickly on horseback.

"Chasing!" Tian Shixian feared that Xing Yuanyuan would go back and bring reinforcements, which would put Cao Qing in danger.

"Hmph! If you want to harm my sister, step over my dead body!" Xing Hongniang blocked Tian Shixian's way.With a single finger of the long sword, he was not afraid of Tian Shixian and others at all.

"How dare you! Jin Yiwei is here, why don't you just get caught? If you defy Jin Yiwei, don't you worry about killing everyone?" Tian Shixian said.

"You broke into my Xing family's private land, and you used weapons against me. Who knows if you are Jin Yiwei or a bandit? Don't try to scare me with words. My Xing family is upright, even if you are Jin Yiwei, how can you copy and kill my Xing family?" The family is full?" Xing Hongniang grew up in the army, but she was not frightened.

"Take it!" Tian Shixian said.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Cao Qing rode over from behind.

As soon as Tian Shixian raised his hand, he made his subordinates stop.

"Eunuch Cao, it's dangerous here, so don't come here. Just let me take down this chaotic party." Tian Shixian said.

"This girl belongs to the family, what kind of chaotic party. I think it is a misunderstanding. Mr. Tian, ​​tell the brothers to stop. Don't scare the little girl." Cao Qing said.

Tian Shixian was a little embarrassed, "This woman's identity is unknown, and she holds a weapon in her hand. If she intends to harm Eunuch Cao, what should I do?"

"Don't worry. No one knew we came here. How did they know to ambush here in advance? I just saw that the target they shot was only a hare. It should be hunting here. Forget it, it was a misunderstanding. Girl, don't be nervous either. We are just passing by here." Cao Qing said.

"Huh!" Xing Hongniang still snorted with some dissatisfaction.
