Chapter 62: The host and the guest
When they went down the mountain, the two of them regained their respective identities. I don’t know if Xiao Yungui was acting on purpose. He smiled and reached out to help Hong Yuner. Hong Yuner gave him a blank look and was secretly angry. He told him that the couple had a bad relationship and why did they do this intimate action? In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yungui blinked at him. Hong Yuner then realized that he snorted, turned his head and ignored him, and ordered the female soldiers on the mountain road to come and help him.
Xiao Yungui walked down the mountain with a disgusted look, and his expression really made Hong Yuner feel nervous. This kid wouldn't be really angry.
The two of them each brought their own card knife hands and got off the Juanyun Pavilion one by one. When they arrived in front of Lize Hall, they saw Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others had already arrived. Everyone sat on the ground in the square in front of Lize Hall, and each silenced their own dry food.
Ding Fuchen and several servants were sweating provoking him in a hurry: "Everyone, sit inside. It would be fine if we didn't eat the food we prepared for you, but wouldn't it be fine if we sat in the house?"
Xiao Yungui strode to the front of him, and everyone immediately stood up and greeted him with his fists. Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "Master Ding Laoshan asked you to come in and sit down, why don't you go in?"
Everyone shouted loudly: "The King of the West has an order, but my subordinates dare not disobey it!"
After getting along these days, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner were deeply impressed by the strict military discipline of the Taiping Army. Since the establishment of the Yong'an system, the Taiping Army has bid farewell to the original appearance of bandits and has truly reached the point of obstructing orders. In addition to the strict military discipline constraints, it is more of the teachings of God to guide people to be good, especially those young people from Chen Picheng who competed with the legendary Red Guards. It is precisely because of this that many Taiping Lao Changmao looked down on the people of the Tiandihui and Pao Gehui, and even felt ashamed to be with them.
So Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner were not surprised. Xiao Yungui walked to Ding Fuchen and smiled and said, "Your Majesty Ding, you don't have to be polite. I have always said that I will not disturb you when I come to the academy this time. Let me go back after using up the dry food."
Ding Fuchen looked at these Taiping soldiers with red scarves like a monster, and found it incredible. To be honest, they were even more lawful than the official troops Ding Fuchen had seen.
"The Western King is indeed very strict, which makes Zuo admire him." Zuo Zongtang's voice floated over. Everyone looked back and saw Zuo Zongtang, Deng Yi, Li Shourong, Wang Kaiyun and others step out of Lize Hall.
Zuo Zongtang and others all came forward to greet each other, but Deng Yi stood at the end and snorted with contempt, standing alone on the side, not coming forward.
Xiao Yungui glanced at Deng Yi coldly, turned to Zuo Zongtang and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zuo, are you brothers talking about the past?"
Zuo Zongtang nodded but stopped answering. His face was not as happy as he was usually happy, but since he was willing to talk to him, Xiao Yungui knew that Zuo Zongtang was no longer angry with him.
Ding Fuchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Ji Gao, you are here just in time. Please advise the King of the West and others. Our food is ready, but they refuse to attend the table. Even if they don't eat it, it's not an exaggeration to go into the hall to sit down and serve a cup of tea."
Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled, turned his head and asked dozens of Taiping Army soldiers behind him, saying, "Do you want to go in and eat water?"
Lin Fengxiang and others shouted that they would not want to go in. Xiao Yungui waved his hand and turned his head, clasped his fists and said, "Course Ding Shan, we have learned your kindness, but it is really different. It is inconvenient to enter. We will eat some water here."
Ding Fuchen still didn't give up: "It's fine if you don't want to go in, but the King of the West and Princess of the West have to go in and sit for a while."
Hong Yuner walked up and said with a smile: "Old Mountain Chief, we use the earth as the mat and the sky as the hood outside. We are very free and comfortable. You are all right, don't worry about us."
Zuo Zongtang nodded and said, "The mountain chief, the Western King and others have teachings, so there is no need to force others to do anything. The master will just follow the guests." After that, he came and pulled Ding Fuchen and left.
Ding Fuchen had no choice but to follow Zuo Zongtang and others into the inner hall for meals. Looking at Ding Fuchen's back, Hong Yun'er suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Do you think Ding Laoshan looks like a person?"
Xiao Yungui touched his chin and laughed in a low voice: "If you come back to the glasses, you will really look like our old principal."
After laughing for a while, Hong Yuner suddenly frowned slightly and whispered: "Come here, I have something to say to you."
Xiao Yungui was slightly stunned. The little girl changed her face so quickly. He took the food and water from Li Kaifang and walked aside with Hong Yun'er. The two of them sat down on the ground and each started eating dry food. No one dared to come and disturb them, both of them were far away.
Hong Yuner chewed a white bun and asked in a vague way: "I just talked about the old principal reminding me of Qingyun and Lu Sixuan. Judging from the situation between us, they should have traveled through time. Do you think we will also travel to this era?"
Xiao Yungui shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Hong Yuner frowned and snorted: "Just guess."
Xiao Yungui shrugged and said, "I really don't know, why don't I let Brother Tian come down to earth and ask?"
Hong Yun'er's face turned black and she kicked Xiao Yungui with her left foot, and said angrily: "You're serious."
Xiao Yungui grinned and said, "I'm just serious. I'm not God. How could I know what era they will travel to?"
When Hong Yuner heard this, she felt a little unreasonable, but she still said unwillingly: "Then let's assume that they have also arrived in this era."
Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you say. Well, they have also come to this era and possess others like us, but they just don't know who they have become."
Hong Yuner nodded and said, "I plan to post our class songs widely whenever we go to a place in the future. Qingyun and the others will come to recognize us if they see it. Are you good about this idea?"
Xiao Yungui squirted out a sip of water, laughing so hard that he leaned back and forth, but when he saw Hong Yuner's murderous eyes, he forced himself to hold back and forth: "You, do you want to post the song No. 7, which is coming and going east?"
Hong Yuner raised her mouth and said, "What? Isn't it okay?"
Xiao Yungui gave a thumbs up and held back his smile and said, "Okay, four-eyed girl, you are so talented. The song "Haikao No. 7" is a class song from the referendum of the whole class. Everyone can sing it. When Qingyun and the others see it, they will definitely understand that we are looking for them. This idea is very good. But I still wonder what the people in the Qing Dynasty will react after reading those lyrics."
Hong Yuner said casually: "I don't care. Anyway, if you send a notice and post, you will be the name of the Western King, and I don't care."
Xiao Yungui choked, cursed a few words in his stomach, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, let's discuss it, can we talk about it after we overcome this crisis? Now we can't cause more trouble."
Hong Yuner nodded and said, "Okay, wait until we can safely send out the notice of Cape No. 7."
Xiao Yungui breathed a sigh of relief, and Hong Yuner said again: "By the way, Zuo Zongtang, Wang Kaiyun, Li Shourong, Deng Yi and others, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Yungui raised his head and drank, saying, "It just so happened that I want to ask you too. I know Zuo Zongtang, and Wang Kaiyun seems to know a little. Are the other two very powerful?"
Hong Yuner frowned and said, "Wang Kai is a master of Confucianism and a famous literati. Later, he served as a staff member of the Qing court. Li Shourong, also known as Li Huangxian, is also a famous literati. She is also good at couplets. Later, she passed the Jinshi and became an official in the Qing court. She seemed to be Tan Sitong's father-in-law. As Deng Yi, don't expect that, his father and brother were both officials in the Qing court, and they were all the children of officials who were indecent officials. It seemed that they had led troops to fight against the Taiping Army later."
Xiao Yungui touched his chin and sneered: "So that's the case, the other two are fine. Deng Yi cannot let go. He will invite them all back to the city later."
Hong Yuner frowned and said, "I think you respect Zuo Zongtang very much. You want to win over these Xianghu scholars to use for yourself. If you ask them back, they will definitely refuse. If you use them as a force, wouldn't your previous efforts be wasted?"
Xiao Yungui said seriously: "Yun'er, you're right, why don't you seduce them and let them go with us."
A flash of sword light, and half of the steamed buns in Xiao Yungui's hand were cut off, which scared Xiao Yungui for a moment. He saw Hong Yun'er's cold and cold words saying, "If you talk nonsense, I will cut off your tongue."
Xiao Yungui's heart tightened. Why is this little girl's sword technique getting faster and faster? She has to step up her martial arts practice, otherwise it will be miserable if she can't control her one day. He thought in his mind, but he smiled and said, "Just just kidding, you're serious. I really can't bear to let you seduce anyone."
Hong Yuner put away her short blade and spat, "It's smooth and graceful."
Xiao Yungui suddenly said seriously: "I thought about it. Blindly giving in is not a solution. Zuo Zongtang is too powerful. He must not let him go to the Qing court to be an official. I will kidnap him even if he uses ties. Since Deng Yi is determined to oppose us, such a person is the most dangerous and cannot be let go. Wang Kaiyun and Li Shourong also forced him to invite him. We all know that they will help the Qing army to attack us in the future. If they let them go like this, wouldn't it be unhappy for themselves? Scholars in the world want to recruit, but we don't have to be polite to suppress those who are determined to follow the Qing court to make a living."
Hong Yuner pondered: "You are right. The reason why scholars in the world are unwilling to join the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is because of the teachings of the God Church. It seems difficult for us to convince Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others to change the teachings. I know that you have not let your subordinates harass any temples and academies these days, but I am afraid that once the Chenzhou brigade arrives, the temples and academies inside and outside Changsha will be burned, and our efforts will be in vain."
Xiao Yungui sighed and said, "I am also worried about this. It is like we play Tetris. Mistakes will accumulate. When it accumulates to a certain extent, even gods cannot save it. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has burned many temples, academies, Taoist temples, and forced many people to convert to God's religion. Sooner or later, it will make the world's scholars feel cold."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yungui suddenly said happily: "Otherwise, we have to station troops outside the city anyway, Miaogaofeng, Yuelu Mountain, and Kaifu Temple in the north of the city. Why not let the troops of each army build camps and guard the dangerous places, and use these academies and temples as important places for garrisons and materials, perhaps these places can escape the disaster."
Hong Yuner frowned and said, "I'm afraid Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing will hate you even more, and some old brothers will disagree with you."
Xiao Yungui gritted his teeth and said, "This matter has not been discussed. I must reverse this mistake. At least, wherever my Western King's soldiers go, there will be no more destruction of people and forced people to believe in it. In the end, brothers who truly agree with my approach will follow me wholeheartedly. If I don't agree with it, I will take the opportunity to open or remove it. There will be no one in my people who sing the opposite tune with me!"
