Chapter 608 Li Xiucheng!

An Lawyer subconsciously shut his mouth after saying that, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the boss wasn’t here, and the monkey and the little boy beside him weren't the gossipy kind.

If the boss had heard those words,

He’d probably have to spend a month or so as a "street sanitation volunteer" on South Street.

Don't let the boss's usual old man act of basking in the sun and reading newspapers fool you; he really wasn't that magnanimous.

Even so, An Lawyer was still shocked and surprised.

The boss hadn't hidden the matter of Ying Gou from him, and he roughly understood how Ying Gou had been recovering and hiding all these years.

Looking at Madam Bai’s reaction and the previous arrangements and actions,

The outline of the whole matter slowly emerged.

An Lawyer was born early, and had been a ghost soldier for a long time, but not early enough to catch the Taiping Rebellion.

But even if he hadn't experienced it, anyone with a little knowledge of history could roughly estimate what kind of figure the Loyal King Li Xiucheng was.

Although he was from Guangxi, he wasn't one of Hong Xiuquan's old Guangxi comrades. He rose from an ordinary soldier through military merit to the position of general, successively winning major victories such as the second breaking of the Jiangbei Camp, the Sanhe Victory, and the second breaking of the Jiangnan Camp. He could be considered to have revived the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and prolonged its life.

Under the premise that Hong Xiuquan was desperately courting death and the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were recklessly indulging in decadence, he was exhausting himself to protect the "nation."

Heh heh,

It was really interesting to think about it,

The boss, basking in the sun, and the Loyal King, dominating the battlefield,

Were completely impossible to associate together,

But the two were bound together by Ying Gou.

Ying Gou's taste,

Was changing really fast.

………………

Zhou Ze drove very fast,

He was truly concerned about Yingying's safety. When he parked in front of the bookstore, he didn't even bother to turn off the engine before pushing open the door and walking in.

As soon as he stepped inside,

He felt a wave of red powder aura rushing towards him,

So strong that it was hard to breathe.

Everything around him was hazy, making it impossible to see clearly. Zhou Ze subconsciously frowned, and the bronze ring on the ring finger of his left hand began to tremble slightly.

Boss Zhou had a very strong resistance to illusions. Coupled with his trip with Ying Gou on the road to rebirth on the Naihe Bridge, it was a kind of exercise that others envied;

Now, matched with the power of the bronze ring, it was equivalent to adding several layers of buffs to his own attributes. Unless it was an illusion set up by a truly powerful and terrifying being, it wouldn't be easy to confuse Zhou Ze.

However, this time Zhou Ze didn't choose to wake up. Instead, he retained five parts of his consciousness and continued to wander inside. He could resist, but Yingying might not be able to, especially when facing Madam Bai.

The layout in his vision kept switching between antique and the original layout of the bookstore. Zhou Ze opened his eyes and groped inside.

The original bar had become a screen, and behind it was a red bed.

A woman was sitting by the bed, wearing red brocade clothes, a bit like a wedding outfit, but a little simpler and more elegant, not that pure, bright red festive color.

The woman sat there,

Without a red veil or anything like that,

Just looking at Zhou Ze.

"Boss, you're here. I'm here."

"You've come. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Two tones, two voices,

Were uttered together,

Zhou Ze only felt a slight pain in his forehead,

But he restrained himself from fighting back and waking up,

Instead, he took a few steps forward, came to the bed, reached out and grabbed the woman's hand,

"Yingying, come with me."

The woman was pulled up,

And followed him.

Zhou Ze wanted to take Yingying out of the bookstore first. Although most of Madam Bai's savings were at the City God Temple, and An Lawyer and the others should have taken care of them by now, Yingying was a zombie formed from Madam Bai's physical body, so Zhou Ze didn't dare to be careless.

Although Zhou Ze wasn't afraid of a real fight with Madam Bai, this woman was too scheming and cunning, not an easy person to deal with.

"Boss, I'll go with you."

"Go, go, go."

Zhou Ze held the woman's hand,

And walked out of the bookstore door,

But a wind suddenly blew outside,

And when the wind stopped,

What met his eyes was no longer the bustling South Street,

But a stretch of city walls. Below, everywhere he looked, were dense trenches and obstacles, and soldiers with queues behind their heads were walking back and forth.

The "Ji" character battle flag below was also fluttering in the black smoke, a scene of murderous aura.

And on the city wall beside him, soldiers with red headscarves wrapped around their heads seemed to be on guard, and when they saw him, they all saluted and bowed.

Zhou Ze was a little stunned, and when he lowered his head, he found that he was wearing armor, and the armor was also purple inside. He couldn't really tell the specific style and material in a short time.

Turning his head again,

Looking at the woman he was holding,

He found that Yingying was also wearing armor, with a curved saber at her waist, and her eyebrows were full of heroic spirit, especially the depths of her eyes, which seemed to carry a chilling air.

At this moment,

Zhou Ze suddenly felt like he was filming "The Myth,"

Dreams and reality were slowly being torn apart, but at the same time, they were merging.

"Is it interesting?"

Zhou Ze looked around and questioned directly.

All of this,

Was Madam Bai's doing,

That was,

Undoubtedly.

Boss Zhou hated people who were long-winded and dawdled. Wouldn't it be better to be straightforward?

Did she have to create such a battle to play with sentimentality?

"Foster father, let's go. Let's leave Tianjing and make a comeback!

The Heavenly King has already imprisoned your family. The Heavenly King doesn't trust you, but the brothers above and below all believe in you!"

It was Bai Yingying who was speaking,

She deliberately lowered her voice,

And because the wind on the city wall was relatively strong, there was no need to worry about her words being known to others. The most dangerous place was also the safest place. No one would have thought that someone would dare to discuss "rebellion" here in broad daylight.

However,

Yingying, what did you call me?

Did you call me Dad?

Zhou Ze found it a little funny, it sounded a little weird,

But also a little cool.

"Foster father, the Qing devils can't stop us. As long as we leave Tianjing, the world is so big, where can't we go? There are still many brothers and sisters outside. As long as we leave here, we can quickly gather another army and rebuild the Heavenly Kingdom!

Without foster father, Tianjing can't be defended."

As she spoke,

The woman cast a cold glance at the magnificent palace in the city,

"Let this Heavenly King die in this city. When the time comes, foster father, you can be the Heavenly King yourself!

It will save you from suffering from this foul atmosphere!"

Boss Zhou finally came to his senses,

This was a re-enactment of the past,

Yingying must be Madam Bai from that time,

And me?

Thinking of the old man in the painting's description,

Eh,

Am I playing Li Xiucheng?

So now,

Is my adopted daughter persuading me to rebel?

At this thought,

Boss Zhou deliberately looked back a few more times at the magnificent palace in the inner city.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had established its capital in Nanjing and renamed it Tianjing for ten years,

It should be known that these theocratic rebel guys were too weak in their own ability, and compared with Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, or even Zhu Hongwu, the gap was really not that small.

Here, the Qing Dynasty hadn't completely died yet, and the country wasn't stable, they were still fighting, but they had already begun to enjoy themselves wantonly.

If you tell a lie often enough, it might really work. They really regarded themselves as the sons of the Heavenly Father destined by Heaven.

This palace was really beautiful, but unfortunately, later generations couldn't admire it because after the city of Tianjing was broken, Zeng Guoquan's soldiers directly looted the entire city, and the burning, killing, and looting almost emptied the entire city.

The Xiang Army had been fighting under the city of Tianjing for too long, and coupled with the habits of the Xiang Army at that time, if they didn't let their subordinates loot and make a fortune, there would be a mutiny.

This incident almost cost Zeng Guoquan his life later, but fortunately his brother helped him save it.

I pretend that I can't see your performance,

Boss Zhou didn't speak,

And the scene became awkward for a moment,

In fact,

The most important thing was that Boss Zhou didn't know what to say. No one gave him a script, and secondly, had water gotten into his head to accompany Madam Bai to recall the past here?

What does Li Xiucheng's past have to do with me?

But at this moment,

Something seemed to fall on him in the dark,

Zhou Ze woke up suddenly,

Someone wanted to possess him!

Damn it,

Boss Zhou was angry,

He had already regressed by watching the memory scenes and playing the memory kill with you, and you still wanted to take it a step further?

But at this moment,

A wave of sadness, hesitation, entanglement, and indignation,

Began to quickly fill Zhou Ze's chest,

Damn it,

This heartache,

Was so fast!

Boss Zhou was a little confused, and always felt that the thing didn't come in from the outside,

But rose from within him.

Ying Gou hadn't woken up, had he?

"Don't say these words again. The Heavenly King has the grace of promoting me, and the great cause of the Heavenly Kingdom is also on my shoulders. No matter what the situation, I will not leave."

The words were spoken from Zhou Ze's mouth,

But it wasn't what Zhou Ze wanted to say.

"Foster father, why do you have to be like this, I…………"

"Don't worry, your foster father can't die."

Zhou Ze reached out,

Put his hand on the woman's shoulder, and smiled:

"The Heavenly King says he is the son of the Heavenly Father, but I don't know if it's true or not.

But I can sense it,

Every time I gallop across the battlefield, when I take a nap at night,

I always dream of a person,

He sits on a throne made of bones,

Looking ahead.

Don't laugh at me,

Sometimes I really think,

Whether there is some destiny on me,

I didn't feel anything when I was a child,

But these years, I've fought more and more battles and killed more and more people,

But instead, I've become closer and closer to him.

Don't worry about my affairs,

You leave Tianjing first."

"Foster father, I won't go!"

"Don't worry,

He won't let me die,

I can't die."
