After Li Yuanyin issued the order, he saw a little girl on the ground and asked Li Chengdong: "Father, who is this woman?"

"She is the shield I caught when I went out of the city. Looking at the silk and satin she wore, she was obviously an official family. It's useless now, kill it!"

The little girl was already unconscious after going through the journey. Li Yuanyin took out a towel and wiped her face. He found that the little girl was extremely beautiful, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round face, a pair of phoenix eyes, two bent willow-leaf eyebrows, and a slim figure, which was exactly the type she liked.

Li Yuanyin's original surname was Jia. His family used to be a scholar in Henan. His father was a local juren. Li Yuanyin also studied when he was a child. However, he did not expect that his hometown was harmed by bandits, his parents were killed, and he was also entangled into a refugee. Later, he was favored by Li Chengdong in the military camp and adopted as his adopted son.

Li Yuanyin is 25 years old this year, and he is considered an older young man in this era. He has been fighting with his bandit adoptive father all year round. There is no shortage of women, but he lacks a truly desirable wife. In addition, Li Yuanyin knows the words and writes, so he doesn't want to find those vulgar fans, so his major affairs are delayed.

This time, I finally saw a cute one. In addition, seeing the little girl's clothes, she should also be a child of a scholar, and Li Yuanyin couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Li Chengdong looked at his son in a daze and asked, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you? Do you recognize her?"

"No, father! You see, I'm so old and haven't gotten a family yet. I think this woman is good, so why don't you ask my father to give me it!"

It turned out that Li Chengdong really treated Li Yuanyin as his own son. He heard him jokingly, "Brother Yuan, you finally have a woman you like. This woman should be of good background and deserves my son. My father promised you that he would hold a wedding for you when he returned to Fujian!"

At this moment, the little girl in Li Yuanyin's arms woke up and found herself lying in the arms of a strange man. She immediately felt ashamed and quickly struggled to sit up.

Li Yuanyin also found that the little girl was awake, so he quickly let go, stood up and bowed and replied, "You are awake, this girl."

The little girl looked around. The bearded man who kidnapped her was still on the side. She seemed to have not escaped danger yet. She was so scared that her big eyes were spinning around, just like the frightened little rabbit. She looked at Li Yuanyin standing in front of her. She seemed to be a good person. She said to Li Yuanyin: "Please let me go, my father will definitely repay you!"

Before Li Yuanyin could speak, he woke up from his breath and Li Chengdong spoke.

"Hehe! Little girl! Who is your father!"

The little girl looked at Li Chengdong, who was not like a good person, and did not dare to tell who his father was. She hesitated and opened her mouth and said, "My father's surname is Dong, and he is a high-ranking official under Emperor Shenwu! If you let me go, he will give you a lot of money!"

"Silver is useful, tell you the truth! I caught you in Guangzhou to be a shield, but I killed you if it is useless. Unexpectedly, when you are back here, you will be blessed. My son fell in love with you. From now on, you will be a concubine for my son!"

The little girl was born with a noble family. Not to mention being a concubine, his father could not agree to be a wife and his father. Now that Li Chengdong said this, the little girl was about to open her mouth to tell her, but she didn't expect that Li Chengdong's face darkened and she said, "It's useless to keep you, so I can kill you directly!"

When the little girl saw Li Chengdong say this, she was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. She thought to herself: "My father said that the hero would not suffer the loss before her. She agreed first and had the chance to escape. Dad should find out that I was missing now, and he would definitely send someone to find me!"

When Li Yuanyin saw that the little girl didn't say anything, he thought she agreed and was overjoyed. He even found a ox cart in the village for the little girl to ride. Li Chengdong only curled his lips when he saw it.

"Son, we are running for life. Why do you bring a carriage? What women don't have is that if you die, you will find a better one for you!"

When his father said that Li Yuanyin's face turned red, he actually loved this woman very much. He also knew that it was inconvenient to take a ox cart to travel with him, but he was worried that the little girl would be weak and could not stand the long journey.

"Dad, some of our horses are enough to pull them with two horses. Let's talk about the crisis on the way."

Seeing that his son was firm in his attitude, Li Chengdong shook his head and said nothing.

On this side, Li Chengdong led the remaining more than 3,000 people to Fujian, but in a mess there.

After Li Chengdong ran away, hundreds of Qing troops stayed in Guangzhou. They were divided into several parts and occupied several houses for war. At first, it did bring chaos to Guangzhou. However, as the Qing army in the palace was cleared and the subsequent artillery was transported, the exterior walls of several houses were broken, most of the Qing army were killed, and some surrendered to the Ming army.

It was not until the morning of the third day that order was restored in Guangzhou, and Emperor Shenwu Zhu Hongsan finally returned to his palace.

Zhu Hongsan, who was afraid of death, was afraid of the Qing army in the city, ordered Duan Fei to transfer a thousand new troops to the dock to protect the ship. After seeing that the dock was very safe, Zhu Hongsan got off the ship.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Hongsan saw that the North City was in a disastrous manner by the Qing army. The streets were covered with corpses, and part of the South City was burned by the Qing army, and a large number of shops were burned.

Zhu Hongsan's face became more and more gloomy as he looked. When he came to the palace gate, he saw his home being harmed. Zhu Hongsan couldn't help it.

"Come here, put Qian Lide, commander of the Jinyiwei, and ask him what he did! He put the Qing army in? Also, the Guangzhou general was not in good defense and actually made people cross the wall. The Guangzhou general and the Guangzhou guards were killed and immediately executed, and the family was sent to Luzon to mine!" At this time, who dared to touch Zhu Hongsan's brow? Cao Fang quickly led people down to pass the imperial edict.

As soon as he arrived in the harem, Zhu Hongsan saw Zhu Luo covered in blood coming. Zhu Luo burst into tears when he saw Zhu Hongsan.

"Dad, my mother is gone!"

When Zhu Hongsan heard his daughter say this, his face turned pale. What he feared most happened. In fact, when Zhu Hongsan ran away, he knew that the palace might not be protected, but after all, there were 400 guards and soldiers inside. It should be similar to protecting the lives of his wife and children. Unexpectedly, his eldest wife still couldn't save her.

Zhang Sanqiang, deputy company commander of the guard company who followed Zhu Luo, quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of death and I am unable to protect the queen."

Zhu Hongsan shook his head and said nothing, but just walked quickly to Ma Xiaofang's small building, where Ma Xiaofang's body was parked.

Zhu Hongsan uncovered the white cloth, and what caught his eye was Ma Xiaofang's gray-white face.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Xiaofang who had been with each other for nearly 30 years, and couldn't help but think of the little things that he met Ma Xiaofang from getting to falling in love, the silence that he met with Ma Xiaofang for the first time, the happiness of his life after marriage, the birth of his first child, and the hardships of Ma Xiaofang and himself wandering thousands of miles south, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but sing the song "The King asked me to patrol the mountains."

"Xiaofang, don't you like to listen to me singing this song the most? I'll sing the last time for you now!"

The sun winks at me

The birds sing to me

I'm a hard worker

A little goblin who is not clingy

Don't ask me where I came from

Don't ask me where I'm going

I want to pick the most beautiful flowers

Dedicated to my little man

The king asked me to patrol the mountain

I'll turn the world around

Beat my drum

Knock my gong

Life is full of rhythm

The king asked me to patrol the mountain

Catch a monk to make dinner

The water of this mountain stream

Extremely sweet

Don’t envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals!

Zhu Hongsan sang this song softly. When Zhu Hongyi saw Zhu Hongsan's true feelings reveal, he sighed in his heart, turned around and went out to close the door.

After the song was sung, Zhu Hongsan burst into tears. This was the second time he cried bitterly since his mother Zhao Chunhua died. Zhu Hongsan always felt that he was already cruel and ruthless, but now he found that he still couldn't give up this true love for Ma Xiaofang.

The door of the small building was closed, and Zhu Hongyi stood in front of the door. At this time, all the civil and military officials were standing in the yard waiting to pay homage to the emperor. The yard was full of people, but no one spoke. Everyone was quietly listening to Zhu Hongsan singing in the house.

An hour later, the door opened and Zhu Hongsan stood at the door. He returned to his cold and ruthless expression. Everyone felt no change, but Zhu Hongsan himself knew that Zhu Hongsan, who had a little tenderness in his heart, had died, and now he has become a completely cold-blooded emperor.

Later historians analyzed that when Emperor Shenwu Zhu Hongsan, they unified the death of Ma Xiaofang as the watershed of Zhu Hongsan's psychological changes. In the past, Zhu Hongsan would have eaten with his wife every day, urged his sons to have a meal, and had a fight with Zhu Luo and Zhu Yu. However, after the Guangzhou incident in 1647, Zhu Hongsan completely became a cold-blooded emperor, and everything started from maintaining his dominance and had no affection for his children. All this began with the death of Ma Xiaofang.

Zhu Hong stood on the steps with expressionless face, looked at the ministers in the yard, and said, "The order was issued, Guangzhou General, Guangzhou Guards, and three thousand households on the left, middle and right, all three Yi tribes. The Qing army passed through the history of various prefectures and counties, inspected, all three Yi tribes of the Jinyi tribes. The prefectures, magistrates, procurator, county magistrate, and county magistrates all sent to Luzon. The officials were short of were filled by the cabinet and the ministers of various ministries. Qian Sanqiang, deputy company commander of the Guard Company, was awarded the title of Bo; Nanhai County Magistrate Li Fugui rescued the palace in time and was appointed as the title of Tongzhi of Huizhou Prefecture; the guard company, Jinyi Guard, and Dongchang Magistrate who defended the palace were discussed by the Ministry of Rites."

Hearing Zhu Hongsan’s ruthless move to deal with the local officials, Chen Zizhuang quickly stood up and said, “Your Majesty, has this punishment been passed!”

"The Prime Minister has different opinions?"
