Zhou Xiuying also brought two followers, but fortunately, they were both female soldiers and also confidants brought out by Zhou Xiuying when she was in Wuxi. Seeing that Zhou Xiuying's face was a little red and was dragged to the hotel by Wu Chaoyue, she did not resist at all, and the two female soldiers did not say anything and followed behind silently with Wu Chaoyue's personal soldiers.

Affected by the war, the hotels run by foreigners were very expensive, but it doesn't matter. With the comprador grandfather as the backing, Wu Chaoyue never had to worry about the money. A handful of silver dollars was spilled out, and the best guest room in the hotel was temporarily controlled by Wu Chaoyue. When Wu Chaoyue forced Zhou Xiuying into the room, Wu Chaoyue's personal soldiers stayed outside the door and waited tactfully. Zhou Xiuying's two female personal soldiers insisted on following up. Of course, Wu Chaoyue refused and scolded them: "Wait outside the door, I have to discuss some major military affairs with General Zhou."

"Who are you? What qualifications are you to order us?" A female soldier asked bluntly.

"I am your General Zhou's brother! Go out!" Wu Chaoyue scolded even more bluntly.

When the two pretty bare-looking female soldiers were standing up, Zhou Xiuying finally spoke and ordered them calmly: "Wait for me outside, I have something to discuss with Brother Shi alone."

After the two female soldiers reluctantly left the door, Wu Chaoyue's first thing was of course to close the door and lock it immediately. However, when Wu Chaoyue locked the door and turned around, Zhou Xiuying had already sat on the chair in the room and knocked her legs crossed and took out a revolver. Although she did not point the gun directly at Wu Chaoyue, she sneered and said, "Don't blame me for not warning you first. If you dare to touch me, I will shoot you to death immediately!"

"Shimei, why bother?" Wu Chaoyue said with a smile on his face: "It is rare for us brothers and sisters to meet each other, and it is even more rare for us to have a conversation face to face. Why do you have to do this?"

As he said with a smile, Wu Chaoyue tried to go forward to do something, but as soon as he moved, Zhou Xiuying immediately pointed a gun at Wu Chaoyue and shouted: "Don't move! I promised to talk to you, but you'd better stay away! Just stand there and talk to me! Also, if you want to persuade me to surrender, or want to spy on some military secrets of ours, it's best not to think about it!"

Wu Chaoyue stopped obediently, raised his hands and said with a wry smile: "Sister Shi, can you put down your gun? That thing is so popular when it goes away. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I really want to talk to you about it."

Zhou Xiuying hesitated for a while, but finally put the pistol down, pointed the muzzle at other positions, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Wu Chaoyue pointed to the door and signaled that someone would have eavesdropped outside the door. Then, without waiting for Zhou Xiuying to agree, he walked directly to Zhou Xiuying's approach and whispered: "There is something very important. You must not let others know. Put your ears in."

Zhou Xiuying obediently put her side face close to her ears. When Wu Chaoyue saw that there was an opportunity, she immediately grabbed Zhou Xiuying's hand holding the gun, grabbed the needle of the revolver with her fingers and held the rotor tightly, making Zhou Xiuying unable to shoot, and her other hand pressed Zhou Xiuying's shoulder tightly. When Zhou Xiuying was shocked, Wu Chaoyue whispered: "Tell me, have you been injured these days?"

"Let me go." Zhou Xiuying struggled and whispered: "I have been in the concession these days and have not been on the battlefield."

"That's good." Wu Chaoyue pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and whispered: "The war has been too fierce these days, and I have been worried about hurting you by chance."

Wu Chaoyue looked at him, and Zhou Xiuying sneered, "Thank you, Master Wu, you have no eyes on the battlefield. I won't blame you if you are injured. If my father's bullet killed you that day, don't blame me when you go to King Yama."

"Then will you be sad?" Wu Chaoyue showed his face with a pig and asked with a smile: "If your father's army beat me to death and injured me, will you be sad and heartbroken?"

"I will only be happy!" Zhou Xiuying struggled and said angrily: "You have killed hundreds of our brothers these days, and we will take revenge if we kill you!"

"That was your own fault." Wu Chaoyue tried hard to press Zhou Xiuying's shoulders so that she could not get up. He whispered: "If you hadn't come to fight Shanghai and forced me to fight with you, why would I risk killing your people by accident? Shimei, listen to my advice and advise your father to break through the siege and go to Suzhou as soon as possible, and it would be better to go back to Wuxi directly so that you and I don't need to kill each other. Do you know that every time I fight with you, I am worried, either I am afraid of not be able to beat your father, or I am afraid of killing you by accident."

"Can you be so kind?" Zhou Xiuying continued to roll her eyes, but her strength to struggle was much smaller without realizing it.

"You know the best about your heart." Wu Chaoyue's voice was gentle and he whispered: "Do you know that I have been hurting you by accident next to Huangpu River last time. I have been in a state of trouble. I have been unable to eat or sleep countless times. What I am afraid of is that I hurt you too seriously. It was because I saw you safe and sound on Wusong River that I finally let my heart go."

After hearing Wu Chaoyue's sweet words, Zhou Xiuying turned her face away and said with a pretty face: "Don't talk about these nice things, there is no possibility between me and you, it will never be possible."

"I don't think." Wu Chaoyue whispered: "I am now a Jiangsu Censor. As long as you want, it will not be difficult for me to save you."

"I don't want to!" Zhou Xiuying answered fiercely.

"If you don't want to, why are you reluctant to marry Xu Yao?" Wu Chaoyue gave Zhou Xiuying a fatal blow and said in a low voice with a smile: "Last time you were at Wusongjiang Wharf, didn't you say you wanted to marry Xu Yao? But according to the information I have, not only have you not been married yet, but you have never agreed to Xu Yao's proposal to your father?"

Zhou Xiuying didn't say anything, her face began to turn red again, and her body gave up struggling. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Wu Chaoyue stopped pressing Zhou Xiuying's shoulders and instead hugged Zhou Xiuying's body. Zhou Xiuying was shocked, and quickly pressed Wu Chaoyue's claws, blushed and scolded: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to see your wound." Wu Chaoyue said with a smile: "I didn't know last time that you shot you and injured you. I want to see how your wound is now."

"It's been a long time ago." Zhou Xiuying gave Wu Chaoyue another hygienic eyeball, lowered her head and said, "But I was seriously injured at that time, and my left hand couldn't use force for more than a month."

"Is that true?" Wu Chaoyueyang was surprised. While fighting hard against the revolver that Zhou Xiuying still holds in her hand, he urged: "Hurry up, roll up your sleeves and let me see how serious the wound is."

Refusing to her mouth, Zhou Xiuying's body was very honest. She quietly exhaled her strength and allowed Wu Chaoyue to take away the revolver in her right hand. Then she rolled up the sleeves of her left hand with her right hand, revealing the wheat-colored smooth skin and the scars Wu Chaoyue left on her left arm.

After a long time, the round scar was still very obvious. Zhou Xiuying's injury was so serious that it was conceivable. When Zhou Xiuying blushed and complained that a lot of blood was left when she took the bullet, Wu Chaoyue felt even more distressed. She couldn't help but come up and kiss the scar, and said, "It's my fault, it's me."

"It was just that you were not good." Zhou Xiuying blushed and muttered in her heart, "If it weren't for my mercy, the dart I cast would have killed you long ago."

Zhou Xiuying's thoughts made her suffer. Seeing that Zhou Xiuying did not refuse to kiss her arm, Wu Chaoyue certainly hugged her with a greed and shameless look on her face. Zhou Xiuying's whole body was hot and weak. Although she tried her best to dodge, she gradually fell under Wu Chaoyue's constant kiss. Wu Chaoyue kissed her cherry lips as she wished. Her slender arms couldn't help but hugged Wu Chaoyue tightly...

"No! No!"

"Sooyoung, my heartbeat, this may be our last chance. How long do you have to let us wait?"

“No, no….”

Zhou Xiuying, who was extremely irritable, hugged her to the bed. She had a rough movement and caused bleeding damage to Zhou Xiuying again. After pouring her long-depressed desire into Zhou Xiuying's body, Wu Chaoyue lay on Zhou Xiuying's body and gasped and showed off her desire to sniffle. Zhou Xiuying, who had once hugged Wu Chaoyue tightly and moaned in a low voice, was weak all over, staring blankly at the ceiling, and shed tears without realizing it, and choked out.

"Why are you crying again?" Wu Chaoyue asked in confusion, and said with a little conscience: "It's me that I'm a little rude to you just now. Does it hurt a lot?"

Zhou Xiuying shook her head with tears in her eyes and refused to answer Wu Chaoyue's question. When Wu Chaoyue tried to **** her again, Zhou Xiuying pushed Wu Chaoyue away and shook her head and said, "No, we have been delaying for too long, I have to leave."

As he said that, Zhou Xiuying endured the pain on her body to get her clothes, but Wu Chaoyue hugged her again and said gently with a smile: "Baby, are you still going there? They are all my people, can you still go there? Go back with me, I will find a way to get rid of you, and we will be together every day in the future."

"No!" Zhou Xiuying refused flatly and said, "I won't go with you, I want to go back to my father!"

As he said firmly, Zhou Xiuying once again pushed Wu Chaoyue away the claws that tried to touch her and said, "Don't touch me again! I just repay you. Now the favor I owe you has been paid back. I won't let you touch me again!"

Wu Chaoyue was a little stunned. Just now, Zhou Xiuying moaned in Wu Chaoyue's ear and said what she said in her heart, saying that she had been thinking about Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue thought that Zhou Xiuying could no longer leave him. Zhou Xiuying forced Wu Chaoyue away without saying a word, and while picking up her clothes, she said in a cold voice: "I know you want to take me away, but I won't go with you. I am a female long hair and a thief. You are a dog official in the Mangou court. We are not a member of the same family. If I force myself to be together, I will also drag you down. Therefore, it is best for us not to meet again in the future."

After enduring the pain and quickly put on summer thin clothes, Zhou Xiuying glanced at Wu Chaoyue, who was still bare butt, lowered her head and whispered: "Don't worry, I will never get married."

In fact, Wu Chaoyue wanted to persuade Zhou Xiuying again, but Wu Chaoyue knew too well that Zhou Xiuying's arrogant personality and stubborn temper, and knew that it was useless to persuade him. At the same time, Wu Chaoyue knew better that if Zhou Xiuying really followed her, no matter what way she wanted to get rid of her, she would only give her a handle. It was likely that she would alarm the Qing court and the Wild Boar Skin Ninth Generation, resulting in more unpredictable consequences. Wu Chaoyue had many political enemies in the Qing court. Therefore, Wu Chaoyue, who is selfish, even found that actually letting Zhou Xiuying return to the Taiping Army was the best choice for him and her.

Before his conscience was eaten up by the dog, Wu Chaoyue felt guilty of his selfishness and wanted to stand up and take on the responsibility that a husband should bear. However, considering the consequences of doing so, Wu Chaoyue hesitated and wavered...

It was when Zhou Xiuying had tidy up her hair and turned around to go out, Wu Chaoyue made up her mind, jumped up from the bed, hugged Zhou Xiuying from behind, and whispered beside Zhou Xiuying's cheek, who had kissed her countless times, "Siuying, I won't stop you, but don't worry, you must wait for me, one day, I will marry you openly and become a real couple with you."

"Is it possible?" Zhou Xiuying's voice choked and said, "You are an official, I am a thief. Is there any such thing?"

"Not possible, it's certain!" Wu Chaoyue's voice was very low, but he was extremely firm. "When I also rebel, who dares to say what I marry you? Who can say what?!"

Zhou Xiuying's soft body suddenly shook and became extremely stiff. She turned around and looked at Wu Chaoyue in surprise. Wu Chaoyue smiled and whispered in her ear: "You are the first person who knows my real plan. Let me tell you the truth. I hate the Qing court more than you, and I want to kill all the Manchu Banners and build a new country! I am now an official for the Qing court in order to gain more power and army, and prepare for the future rebellion!"

Zhou Xiuying was stunned, looking at Wu Chaoyue as if she didn't know him. Wu Chaoyue once again came to her ear and said softly: "Don't think I killed more Taiping Army than anyone else, in fact, I have been secretly letting water. During the Jiangning War, I deliberately helped the Taiping Army create an illusion, attracted Qing Yao's attention to Shence Sect, and helped Taiping Army sneak attack Yifeng Sect. In the Jiangyin War, I deliberately let Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao run away, and deliberately let Xie Changsha go in Wuxi. Some time ago, I went north to serve the king, and deliberately let Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan escape successfully. I did this to prepare to overthrow the Qing court!"

Zhou Xiuying didn't even know what to say, Wu Chaoyue smiled again and said in a low voice: "Don't ask me why I didn't join the Taiping Army. I sympathize with the Taiping Army, and I hope they can really overthrow the Qing Dynasty and build a new country that allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment. But Hong Xiuquan is not a person who can accomplish great things. Even if I lead the army to join the Taiping Army, with Hong Xiuquan here, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will never succeed. So I have only one choice, which is to use the suppression of the Taiping Army to strengthen my strength and enrich my wings. Then when the opportunity appears, I will raise my righteous flag and raise my troops to rebel, kill all the people of the Eight Banners, and build a new country that allows the people to have food, clothing and clothing!"

Zhou Xiuying looked at Wu Chaoyue blankly, and then muttered and asked in a low voice: "What you said is true?"

Wu Chaoyue and Zheng pointed his head, and attached it to Zhou Xiuying's ear and whispered: "So, Xiuying, hurry up and your father will leave Shanghai with his army. Don't worry, I will not pursue you relentlessly, nor will the Taiping Army pursue you relentlessly, and will give you the chance to withdraw from Suzhou and Wuxi. But if you must stay in Shanghai, there is no way, I can only continue to fight, because Shanghai is my current foothold, and I must take it back, otherwise I will be promoted, expand my army, and raise an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and everything will be shattered."

Zhou Xiuying's expression was extremely dull, and Wu Chaoyue smiled and said, "Believe me, you will definitely see that day."

When Zhou Xiuying nodded in confusion, Wu Chaoyue felt aroused in his heart and hurriedly attached himself to Zhou Xiuying's ear and said, "Also, what I said to you just now, if you have the chance, you can tell these words to Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He is the real leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If he can know my painstaking efforts and real goals, my army and I will have less conflicts and sacrifices less than countless loyal and brave soldiers who actually want to overthrow the Qing court."

"Then..., aren't you afraid that Yang Xiuqing will betray you?" Zhou Xiuying asked hesitantly.

"I'm not afraid. He has no evidence and no one believes it if he says it." Wu Chaoyue shrugged and said with a smile: "And Yang Xiuqing is not an ordinary person. He will know what to do to be the most beneficial to him, and will also understand how to overthrow the Qing court faster."

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue said again: "By the way, if there is really such an opportunity, remember to tell Yang Xiuqing for me. I am willing to work with him and join forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty!"

With an incredibly complicated mood, Zhou Xiuying finally left Wu Chaoyue and led her two personal soldiers who had been anxious to leave the hotel. Wu Chaoyue did not send her away, but said in her heart: "Baby, when I wait for me, I will definitely marry you!"

The unparalleled blessings have arrived today. After taking over Zhou Xiuying's body with his wish, Wu Chaoyue returned to his own camp with a wonderful taste. Zhou Tenghu and Zhao Liewen, the unscrupulous uncle, immediately presented Wu Chaoyue with a wedding gift. He presented a detailed work of the Taiping Army that he had just captured, and a detailed work carrying a letter written by Yang Xiuqing to Zeng Lichang.

The content of the letter made Wu Chaoyue even more ecstatic. It turned out that because Zeng Guofan and the Hunan Army defeated the Taiping Army's Western Expedition van Lin Shaozhang in Xiangtan, and the Anhui Regiment Training Minister Lu Xianji led Li Hongzhang and others to enter Hezhou, threatening the water connection between Nanjing and the Taiping Army's Western Expedition Army. The Taiping Army's western front was tight, and Yang Xiuqing was forced to give up the established plan to send reinforcements from Nanjing to Shanghai again, and prepared to let the Lin Fengxiang army, who had not yet been assembled, go to Hezhou to settle accounts with Lu Xianji, and also ordered Zeng Lichang to defend Shanghai, Suzhou and Wuxi and other cities in southern Jiangsu, temporarily stop expanding, and wait for the situation on the Western Front to improve before sending reinforcements to Zeng Lichang.

After reading the letter from Yang Xiuqing to Zeng Lichang, Wu Chaoyue was overjoyed and immediately started to think about it, "How should we use this letter to encourage the Taiping Army to break through the civil strife and abandon the city as soon as possible?" (To be continued.)
