The two maids laughed and quarreled, in this shop there is much more freedom than in the palace, there are not so many rules.

"Stop, stop, someone is here to buy something." Li Chengcheng got up and smiled to watch the excitement, but when he saw someone walking towards the shop, he hurriedly called out to remind him.

Only then did the maids stop laughing and playing, and returned to everyone, standing in a dignified manner.

When Zhu Youxiao led Zhang Yuer into the store, there were already customers picking out goods, and an idle court lady stepped forward to greet her.

"Just take a look, and I'll trouble you when you buy it." Zhu Youxiao was annoyed in his previous life that there was a salesman behind him, talking endlessly, so he waved the maid away.

The goods on the shelves are mostly from the palace, such as imperial wine, sauce, vinegar, sweets and snacks.But some were not, Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised.

"Is this preserved fruit sour?" Zhang Yuer asked uncertainly while pointing.

"It's not very sour, it's the kind that's sour and sweet." The maid who had just walked away hurriedly turned around and introduced with a smile: "If the young lady thinks it's sour, you can dip it in sugar or honey before eating."

As she said that, the maid turned around and took a plate from the counter, which contained candied fruits of various colors cut into small pieces, and there were toothpicks beside the plate, "Miss, you can taste it and see which flavor you like."

Well, this mode of operation can exist.Zhu Youxiao nodded secretly, and with a smile motioned Zhang Yuer to taste it.He went to the chair next to him and sat down, fiddled with the folding fan, and nodded gently. This small teahouse for rest is also good.

Zhang Yuer was a little uncomfortable with the title Miss, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Yuer, don't call me Miss Miss."

"Then Miss Yu'er." The court lady changed her name tactfully, and held the plate in front of Zhang Yu'er with a smile.

Since Zhang Yuer entered the store, Li Chengcheng felt a little familiar, looked at him from time to time, and frowned slightly recalling where he met him.

Suddenly, Li Chengcheng's eyes widened, and she remembered.

That time when I walked outside the East Palace, I could hear cats meowing inside, mixed with the screams of the women.Then, it was this young woman who hurried out with a white and fat cat in her arms, and walked towards Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace, of course Li Chengcheng knew that it was the palace where the emperor lived, and he had also heard that there was a cat named Bai Niangniang who was very fond of the emperor.

In this way, isn't she the maid who served the White Lady in Qianqing Palace?Can a court lady leave the palace casually?Of course not.Then the young man next to her, could it be...

With such a conjecture, Li Chengcheng was shocked, and began to pay attention to Zhu Youxiao's speech and behavior again.

For such a long time, Zhu Youxiao has been in a high position for a long time, and he has naturally formed an aura of a superior.Simply put, it is Lao Tzu's feeling that he is number one in the world.

Moreover, he was not interested in the goods that came out of the palace just by glancing at them.If it were someone else, it would be rare to inquire, or complain about the high price.

The more he looked at it, the more Li Chengcheng felt his heart beat faster, and something unexpected happened in his dreams.The Ninety-Five Supreme Emperor just appeared in front of him peacefully and casually.

Rolling his eyes, Li Chengcheng decided to make a bold move.

She quickly poured a cup of tea, held it next to Zhu Youxiao, bowed and respectfully offered it, but when Zhu Youxiao signaled to put it on the small table with a fan, she said softly: "White dragon fish clothes, see sleepy Yuqi, you must not be careless."

The idiom Bailong Yufu originally means that the white dragon turns into a fish and swims in the abyss, and is injured by fishermen.It is a metaphor for a nobleman traveling in micro-clothes for fear of accidents.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed, and he guessed that the court lady probably recognized him.But being able to speak in a cryptic manner without making it too loud is very much to his liking.

"What's your name?" Zhu Youxiao was also curious that this court lady had some talents. She just stayed at the counter and seemed to be the manager of the shop, so she asked with a smile.

Li Chengcheng stood with his body bowed, and replied in a gentle voice: "My family's surname is Li, and my name is Chengcheng."

Success?Cheng Cheng? !Zhu Youxiao raised his eyes and looked up, but he didn't know whether it was the beautiful appearance or the elegant temperament, but there was a resemblance.

"Very good." Zhu Youxiao nodded lightly, admiring the maid's cleverness, even her words were impeccable, calling herself a slave instead of a slave, and said, "Li Chengcheng, I remember you."

Li Chengcheng bowed his head, pursed his lips slightly, and showed a happy and carefree smile.

Over there, Zhang Yu'er also tasted the candied fruit, bought two packs with her own money, and walked over happily.

Zhu Youxiao stood up, gave Li Chengcheng a friendly look, turned around and left the shop with Zhang Yuer.

The maid Xiaomo sent another customer away, looked at Li Chengcheng in amazement, and said, "Sister Cheng Cheng, I seem to have heard you tell that young man your name!"

"You heard it wrong." Li Chengcheng had a ghost in his heart, but he forced himself to say calmly: "I told him to come here often."

Xiao Mo blinked her eyes, the suspicion on her face remained undiminished, but she was also not sure.

"Okay, report the account and I'll write it down." Li Chengcheng entered the counter, picked up a pen, and changed the subject.

The outside of the soil must be settled first, which is also the main reason why Zhu Youxiao first retreated in western Liaoning.

One is that the Ming army’s combat power was insufficient, and it was necessary to change its course and train a strong army that was well equipped and capable of fighting;
The second is to solve the hidden dangers within the Ming Dynasty, promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, so as to make the finances abundant and the society stable.

However, internal problems include not only the long-standing problems of reform, but also the She'an Rebellion in the southwest. Whether the Ming army can concentrate its forces and launch a counterattack against Jiannu can be put down as soon as possible.

You must know that the She'an Rebellion lasted until the tenth year of Chongzhen in history before it was completely suppressed.

In other words, if there are no variables, it will take another fifteen or sixteen years, which is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Youxiao.

And although this war is called the She'an Rebellion, Zhu Youxiao knows that extravagance and Chongming are not to be feared, and the Shui'an family is the main reason for the protracted war.

You know, the Shui'an family has been around for more than 1000 years from the first year of Jianxing in the Shuhan Dynasty to the present.It can be said that the foundation is deep, the history is long, the four parties are married, the force is the strongest, and the land is the most extensive.

The main reason why the She'an Rebellion lasted for such a long time is that the terrain in Shuixi, Guizhou is too complicated, with dense forests, deep ditches, and dense mountains.

In history, the Ming army suffered a lot of losses. Wang Sanshan, Lu Qin, etc. all fell into battle and died for their country because of this; even Wu Sangui was almost trapped to death when he conquered Shuixi.

Therefore, it is easy to defeat the rebels, but when the rebels retreat to their lairs, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to sweep the ground and wipe them out in one fell swoop.After the rebels recuperated and recovered, they popped up to make trouble again.

Zhu Youxiao didn't have a good solution to this problem.But suppressing the momentum of the rebels as soon as possible is a top priority.

As early as two months ago, Zhu Youxiao decreed that this year's gold flower and silver will be halved and sent to Beijing, and the rest of the money and food will be transferred to Changde, Chongqing and other places to increase the supply and reserve of food and salaries for the counter-insurgency officers and troops.

A month ago, Zhu Youxiao drew 3000 troops from the Yongwei and Xuanfeng battalions each, and went down the Caohe River to reinforce Guiyang.

In addition to the reinforcements, Zhu Youxiao also selected two hundred students from martial arts to form a field observation group and went to the southwest for actual combat training.

At this time, the reinforcement troops had already completed the canal road, changed to a navy ship on the Yangtze River, went up the river, and headed for Changde.

Changde, known as "Wuling" and "Langzhou" in ancient times, is located in the north of Hunan, on the west side of Dongting Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, at the foot of Wuling Mountain, and is historically known as "the throat of Sichuan and Guizhou, the gateway of Yunnan and Guizhou".

Going south from Changde, passing Chenzhou, and breaking Yuanzhou (which has been occupied by the rebels), the Hunan-Guizhou route was opened up, and the only obstacle left on the road to reinforce Guiyang was Tongren.

How to march, supply along the way, combat strategy, etc., are all determined by the Ministry of War and martial arts after repeated research.Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not forget to remind the military officers who went to aid, and ordered the states and counties along the way to make arrangements in advance.

Blossoming clouds float in the blue sky, and the rippling river water, ships of all sizes head westward proudly.

Standing on the deck, Xu Hongyu looked at the scene on both sides of the strait, slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, showing a few hints of a smile.

For him who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, these were all familiar scenes, but seeing them again gave him a different feeling.

Now, he is not traveling in mountains and rivers, nor is he escaping from the shackles of deep houses and high courts, but is approaching the battlefield of war and embarking on the road of making contributions.

"Third Young Master..." Xu Xiaoqi just called out half a sentence, but was stared back by the young master.

He was dressed as a soldier, and he had not joined the Beijing camp for long, but as a native of the south of the Yangtze River, he was naturally selected, and this was also to minimize the attrition caused by acclimatization.

"Sir." Xu Xiaoqi saluted upright, and only then did he get the approval of the young master.

Xu Hongyu pointed to the front and said, "In another hour, we will almost arrive at Dongting Lake. We have been here before, don't you forget?"

Xu Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I remember, three years ago, I swam with the young master across the lake, it was really big there!"

After a pause, Xu Xiaoqi continued: "I heard that the barbarians are very brutal and there are hundreds of thousands of them. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to relieve the siege of Guiyang?"

Xu Hongyu patted Xu Xiaoqi's arm, and said with a smile: "How can there be hundreds of thousands, and it will not exceed one hundred thousand. As for what is barbaric and fierce, it is even more nonsense. Don't worry, with our two battalions, we can't Let’s explain the siege of Guiyang, but it’s no problem to stand alone.”

Xu Xiaoqi thought for a while, then grinned and said, "That's right, it's not our two battalions who suppressed the rebellion, but also the officers and troops from other provinces!"

As he said that, Xu Xiaoqi looked back to the east with some hope, and said: "After the war is over, can we have a holiday? Let's go back to the Nanjing Mansion and have a look."

Xu Hongyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't want to see anything interesting."

Xu Xiaoqi wanted to say more, but saw a military officer approaching and hurriedly saluted.

This officer, like Xu Hongyu, was a member of the observation group, but he was from Guizhou. He even lived in Guiyang. He was more eager to rescue the siege than Xu Hongyu.

The two got together, pointed out the situation, and talked enthusiastically, leaving no room for Xu Xiaoqi to interrupt.

At this time, the situation on the front line has changed a lot from when they set off from the capital.

At the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, officers and soldiers fought with Shechongming's rebels in Jianwu, Changning (to the east of Gongxian County, Sichuan Province), Gongxian County, Yibin, and Zunyi many times.

However, the new governor Wang Sanshan led the army to recover Yuanzhou, and sent the general Zhang Yanfang to lead [-] troops to assist Guiyang, but was lured and defeated by the rebels in Longli.

Wang Sanshan had no choice but to suspend his actions for the time being. On the one hand, he gathered food in the area, and on the other hand, he waited for the reinforcements from Huguang, Guangxi, and Yunnan to arrive.

However, the arrival of reinforcements from the capital indicates that the historical trajectory has changed again, and the counter-insurgency war has entered a new stage.
