The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 148 Bull Demon King, this is bad, the Emperor has sent Sushun to investigate you! (Please give me a monthly ticket)

After Luo Yaoguo descended from the Chaozong Gate Tower, he mixed in with a group of tall Angel Guard knights and headed straight for his own Angel Palace, which was the former Hunan Governor's Office.

The Angel Guard was formed by Luo Yaoguo after the battle with Chao Zongmen. The captain was named Xiang Xun, a tall and handsome young man, and one of the twelve disciples.

His original name was Xiang Wu, and Luo Yaoguo helped him change his name to Xun. Like other disciples, he was born in poverty and never went to school. When he followed Luo Yaoguo, he could not even read, but he was very studious and often studied late at night. Luo Yaoguo gave him the name "Xun" and the character "Jianjin", which meant to make progress step by step and not to expect to achieve success overnight.

I don't know if this kid listened or not? Anyway, his academic performance was not perfect overnight. Compared with Zhu Ba, Zhang Bao, and Wang Xier who had the same foundation, he was much worse. However, his height suddenly improved overnight.

When he first followed Luo Yaoguo, he was still a short boy of 1.5 meters. Maybe it was because he had enough food and meat every day after following Luo Yaoguo, and it happened to be the age when boys grow taller, so he grew up quickly, and in just a few months he grew into a "tall man" of 1.67 or 1.8 meters! And he is only 17 years old this year, so he can probably grow a little bit more, breaking through 1.7 meters is a sure thing, and 1.75 meters is also expected.

This head, coupled with his handsome appearance, is comparable to Luo Tianshi.

So Luo Yaoguo transferred him from the position of brigade lecturer to the position of guard captain, and ordered him to select dozens of tall men from the army to fill the guard.

It's not that these tall guys are good at fighting, but that Luo Yaoguo can blend in with them - it turns out that the guards Luo Yaoguo had when he went out were all female soldiers under Su Sanniang. When Luo Yaoguo, a "big and strong man", stood with them, his target would be too obvious.

Last time it was a shotgun, next time it will be a rifle with Minié bullets. Wouldn’t that mean he traveled through time in vain?

Now, there are dozens of tall and strong young men around 1.7 meters tall. If Luo Yaoguo blends in among them, it will not be easy to find him and shoot him with a sniper.

In addition to finding a group of tall men for cover, Luo Yaoguo did not ride the best horse, nor did he walk in front of the team or in the middle of the team, but walked in the middle of the team. In addition, he wore the same red robe as the others, a red scarf on his head, and a cavalry lance on his back. No one could recognize him. He felt very safe!

The distance from Chaozong Gate to Angel Palace is not far, just walk two or three miles east along Chaozong Street. Half of Chaozong Street has been burned to ashes by Zuo Zongtang, and there is no commanding height to snipe people. Chaozong Gate is under the firm control of the Taiping Army, and it is even more impossible to ambush gunmen. Therefore, only the eastern section of Chaozong Street is a little dangerous, and you have to be extra careful.

Fortunately, this section of Chaozong Street is close to the governor's office and has always been a good place for Changsha officials to greet and see off guests and to entertain each other. There are many upscale restaurants, and many brothels and opium dens in the several small alleys.

Now, all the opium houses are closed, and the restaurants and brothels are still open, but the business is light. When Luo Yaoguo returned from Chaozongmen, it was still morning, and there were even fewer customers in such places. Therefore, most of the windows in the vision were closed, and it was cold and deserted.

There were many beggars begging for food on Chaozong Street. They were all elderly or disabled and could not join the Taiping Army.

But Luo Yaoguo was kind-hearted after all, and he couldn't bear to see them starve to death, so he ordered people to open porridge factories outside the two side doors of the Angel Palace, providing two meals of porridge made with sweet potatoes and brown rice for free every day, which were all prepared by Su Sanniang's female soldiers.

It was not yet time for dinner when Luo Yaoguo returned home, but many beggars had already gathered in the alleys on both sides of the Angel Mansion, queuing up under the command of the female soldiers, waiting for porridge. The line was so long that it reached Chaozong Street, and there were probably several thousand people in it.

Archangel Luo took a quick glance and discovered that among the beggars waiting for relief, there were some people with relatively clean clothes. They looked like Changsha citizens who had lost their jobs and could not afford the high-priced food. They might also be landlords who had "increased" from other places and had exhausted their wealth and were struggling to make a living.

And Luo Yaoguo had no way to solve the employment problem of so many people in Changsha City at the moment!
Because Changsha is not a production or trade city, it is a consumption city. In other words, the top local tyrants and evil gentry in Hunan take the money they exploited from their hometowns to Changsha to spend. Now that the local tyrants and evil gentry in Hunan have suffered a heavy blow, the decline of Changsha, a consumption city, is also imaginable.

Fortunately, the blame for Changsha has been passed on to Zhu Jiutao
While worrying about the country and the people, Luo Yaoguo rode his horse into the main gate of the Angel Palace.

It was a bit gloomy outside the Angel Mansion, but inside the Angel Mansion it was festive with lights and decorations. Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang’s wedding day was approaching!

They had been engaged for a long time and were going to get married after the battle of Changsha.

Now that Changsha is basically in our hands, it’s time to “eat” Su Sanniang.

During these days, Luo Yaoguo has always adhered to the etiquette of feudal society and did not call Su Sanniang to serve him in bed. She was the first female general of the Heavenly Kingdom and the deputy general manager of the female camp. He married her as his wife, not as a concubine. Well, although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom emphasized "equality of all wives" and theoretically had no concubines, that only worked in the Heavenly King's Palace and the Eastern King's Palace. In the Western King's Palace, Hong Xuanjiao was the only "mother" in power.

So Luo Yaoguo had to respect Su Sanniang, but he still hugged her, touched her, kissed her, and so on.

After a period of contact, Luo Yaoguo's understanding of Su Sanniang has deepened a lot, and he found that his girlfriend's figure is even better than it seems at first glance!
That butt is tight and firm, those legs are smooth and tight, and that waist and abdomen may even have shallow abdominal muscles and vest lines. And her "chest" is also "broader" than Luo Yaoguo originally thought, because the bulge in her chest is the effect of the chest wrap. If the clothes that cover her good figure are torn off, I am really looking forward to it!
Fortunately, this day is coming soon! "Your Highness is welcome to return home!"

When Luo Yaoguo was thinking about how to tear off Su Sanniang's clothes, Su Sanniang had already led Li Cuihua, Wei Xiu Lian, Wang Xier and other female guards to greet him behind the screen wall inside the gate of Angel Mansion.

We still need female guards! Not only that, but we also need to cherish them and not let them take risks again.

Moreover, Luo Yaoguo now has more soldiers and generals. His upper army had 13,000 people when he left Chenzhou. They expanded all the way northward, and now the number of people has exceeded 20,000!
This does not include the local armed forces in the Hunan-Jiangxi border area centered in Zhuzhou! If they were included, even 25,000 would not be enough to stop them.

With so many good men, Luo Yaoguo certainly doesn't need female soldiers to go into battle, but the internal guards in Luo Yaoguo's Angel Palace can still use them.

"Sanniang, is there any news from the Western King?" Luo Yaoguo jumped off his horse swiftly, threw the reins and spear to Xiang Xun, and smiled as he went up to Su Sanniang, holding her hand and asking, "Ninth sister, have you seen him?"

Su Sanniang smiled and said, "Your Highness, my ninth sister just sent someone from Zhuzhou to deliver a message saying that our main force has arrived at Lukou and surrounded Lukou Town. However, the Western King did not go to Lukou, but led his troops directly to Xiangxiang. The military affairs in Lukou are jointly managed by the Western King and Zeng Tianyang."

"Okay!" Luo Yaoguo nodded, "I feel relieved now that the King of the West has gone there in person!"

Su Sanniang then said mysteriously to Luo Yaoguo: "Your Highness, a few friends just came."

"Friends?" Luo Yaoguo seemed to understand something and asked immediately, "Where are they? I want to meet them."

"Come with me."

After Su Sanniang finished speaking, she pulled Luo Yaoguo towards the inner hall. Li Cuihua, Wei Xiu Lian, and Wang Xier followed immediately. His guards stayed where they were, and Xiang Xun arranged for them to return to the camp to rest or perform other tasks.

The inner hall where Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang lived was actually the third hall of the Hunan Governor's Office. It was the residence of Luo Bingzhang and his wives and concubines. Of course, this could not be considered as living together before marriage, they just lived in the same yard.

The "hall" of the governor's office is a large courtyard composed of a series of buildings. It is very big!
As soon as Luo Yaoguo entered the yard, he heard the voices of two old acquaintances.

"Your humble servant, Wang Kuiyi, the deputy governor of the Qing Dynasty, kneels before the 4,000-year-old angel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

"Your humble servant, Jin Aduo, the vanguard commander of the Great Qing Demon Subduing Battalion, kneels before the 4,000-year-old angel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

Then he heard Wang Kuiyi's voice again: "Keqin, you kneel too, that's the angel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Four Thousand Years Old."

Then another unfamiliar Beijing dialect: "I, the imperial guard of the Qing Dynasty, kneeling to the angel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, isn't that inappropriate?"

"What's appropriate or inappropriate? Changsha is now the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

"Kneel down, kneel down quickly, or the angel will get angry and we won't be able to accomplish our mission."

While the few people were arguing, Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang had already walked into the yard hand in hand. After entering the yard, Luo Yaoguo saw three people kneeling inside, two of whom were Wang Kuiyi and Jin Aduo, and the other one looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

When Luo Yaoguo was trying to recall, the man stood up by himself, raised his hand and pointed at Luo Yaoguo, exclaiming: "You, you, you are the Bull Demon King on the bike! Aduo, Bowen, he is the one I saw at Suoyiferry, and I got the box of mooncakes from him!"

This time Luo Yaoguo also remembered: "You coward, aren't you the Qing demon who tried to kill me with a knife that day but was hit by my car? It turns out that you stole the box of mooncakes I lost!"

Just when Luo Yaoguo wanted to ask where the box of mooncakes had gone, this person said again: "Bull Demon King, this is bad, the emperor has sent Sushun to investigate you!"
