Chapter 163 The Unlucky Star and Mr. Liu Er!
April 5th, got up at am.

In the temporary camping site in the belly of Liupan Mountain, the soldiers got up early and cooked breakfast.

At the beginning of the hour, the generals gradually arrived at Xiao Jingchuan's tent again, and Xiao Lang gave orders for the deployment before leaving.

There are three main points that the parliament has made.

1. The entire army will remain here temporarily on standby and be strictly controlled, and not allowed to leave the camp unless necessary.

Second, after Xiao Lang led the team away, he ordered Chuan Wu to pick out some men and sneak into the city in disguise.

In Mancheng, the inspection was not as strict as in Baoding Prefecture, so it was relatively easy for more than a hundred soldiers to break in at different times.

Arrange people to enter the city early and make preparations early, so that after Baoding gets the news, it will be convenient for the army to take over the whole city as quickly as possible!

Third, Xiao Jingchuan led the team into the city. After exploring the city, he said that no matter what the situation was, he would leave people outside to pass on the message back.

At that time, we will communicate with the local cameras in the camp to facilitate the deployment of troops.

After the meeting, Captain Xu Jizu selected some men from his troops and sent them to take the lead to act as the vanguard and investigate the specific situation at the north gate of Baoding.

Xiao Lang and his group of five, along with Hu Chen, set out later than others.

After breakfast, it was 5:45 am.

Xiao Jingchuan led Zhizhong, Changting, Huchen, as well as Sangmenxing and Mr. Liu Erye, and they set off.

From Liupan Mountain to Baoding City, it is about fifty miles away.

Fortunately, there are not many mountain roads, and once you get out of the mountains, traveling quickly on the plains is relatively much faster.

When Li Huchen set out at the beginning, he was in high spirits and followed Xiao Lang and others.

But when he looked at the two unlucky people in the team, Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu, he always felt uneasy.

Firstly, it was because of the nickname of the unlucky star among the two.

Secondly, Hu Chen had rarely seen these two people. They were usually not seen during training, and the number of times they appeared in public was also limited.

Judging from his face, he doesn't look like someone who is easy to get along with.

So Li Huchen avoided him as much as possible. After walking for a while on the mountain road, he found an opportunity and whispered a few words timidly in Xiao Lang's ear. Then the black guy ran away on his own!

It sped through the mountains and disappeared in front of everyone in a blink of an eye, worthy of their farewell.

Sangmenxing!
His real name was Wang Sen. He was thirty-six years old and from Luanzhou. He had big hands and feet and a broad frame since childhood. When he stood up, he always looked very straight and strong, so he was not much shorter than Hu Chen.

In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), during the Jisi Incident in the heart of the capital, Huang Taiji led the Jiannu troops to break into Guanzhong in three routes and captured Zunhua!
Wang Sen's entire family was massacred, and his parents and brothers died tragically. He was lucky enough to escape the disaster because he was a recruit in Yuan Chonghuan's army and followed the army!
A few months later, when the war was over, Wang Sen returned home and was able to collect the bodies of his father and brother.

Seeing the tragic situation at home, Wang Sen broke down and cried. From then on, his entire temperament changed drastically and he became increasingly gloomy.

He has a dull personality to begin with, and now he hardly speaks at all.

He cremated the bodies of his father, brother and other family members, obtained the ashes, wrapped them in white cloth and tied them around his body, never taking them off for many years.

Because of this incident, Ewing seemed to carry a smell of death wherever he went!

The soldiers who knew him and worked with him in the past didn't know the details and didn't like him, so they gave him the nickname "Death Star"!
Speaking of which, he is also a miserable person!

After talking about Wang Sen, let’s talk about another person, Mr. Liu, whose life story is even more bizarre. Mr. Liu!
His real name is Liu Zhecheng. He is the twenty-six-year-old son of an official family in Beijing.

His family lived in a large house in the east of the city. He was the second son, and his biological mother was not his wife and died early.

Two years ago, my father took a concubine. She was extremely beautiful, eighteen years old, and came from a poor family with a hard life.

It was a year of famine and people had no food or clothing, so their parents had to sell the house at a low price.

The following year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Liu family had a banquet and watched a play. His father had a stomachache, so he left the banquet and walked to the side yard. He saw someone lighting candles in a side room.

When he walked closer to take a closer look, he was shocked to see Liu Zhecheng and his concubine making love in the room!
Immediately, Father Liu became furious!
The next day, the family scandal could no longer be concealed, and his father dragged his sick body to report his second son to the authorities for disobedience!
You have to know that in those days, it was a serious crime for a father to accuse his son of disobedience!
Liu Zhecheng was taken to the government office by his father and brother and was nearly beaten to death in court!

Afterwards, he managed to survive and was kicked out of the house!

The concubine who had been in love with Zhecheng could not bear the torture and revenge of Liu's father anymore. Within two days, she hanged herself in the house!

Three months later, Liu Zhecheng's skin wounds had healed completely, and he rushed back home, hoping to ask his father to show mercy and fulfill his true love with the concubine!

But who would have thought that he would find out that the beauty had been wronged by him and had died unjustly in the mansion long ago!
When Liu Zhecheng heard these words, he felt extremely angry!

Liu's father was so cruel that he destroyed the beautiful flower and broke up the couple. He was so furious that he recalled the unfair treatment his father had given him over the years and started to blame and criticize him!
In a rage, the guy rushed forward with a knife and went crazy!
But even so, his original intention was just to vent the anger and grievances that had accumulated in his heart for many years!
But who would have thought that during a quarrel and fight between his father and brother, Liu Zhecheng accidentally killed his biological father!
Now, his life is completely over!
After Zhecheng fled from the mansion in panic, his brother immediately reported the situation to the government office!

Soon, the arrest warrant was sent to the city and the surrounding prefectures.

Zhecheng felt regretful and annoyed, but it was of no use!
Three months later, Liu Zhecheng, who was unkempt, ragged, and had become a beggar on the street, went to the government office to surrender himself!
He was imprisoned by the Bingmasi Yamen in the east of the city, and the chief officer of the Bingmasi ordered Liu Tan to sentence him to be imprisoned and executed!

At this point, it can be said that Liu Zhecheng is doomed to die!

But things are unpredictable, there will always be a turning point!
This Liu Zhecheng is his friend and also has an old relationship with Xiao Jingchuan, the guerrilla general of the left camp of the Shenji Camp of the Beijing Camp!

So the friend went to Xiao Lang for help, hoping to use the Duke's background to save him.

After learning the details about this person, Xiao Lang agreed!
He personally rescued Liu Zhecheng from prison and brought him to the military camp, determined to reshape him and serve the country.

It is a pity that this boy is disheartened and has no interest in military affairs.

After being in the camp for more than half a year, I achieved nothing and was lazy and negative.

At the moment, this person only recognizes Xiao Jingchuan!
In his own words, Xiao Lang had done him a great favor!
I have no other thoughts for the rest of my life!

I have no country, no king, and no father, and the only way I can repay this man is to die!

10:15 am.

Xiao Lang and his group of five walked out of the dense forest and reached the foot of the mountain.

The trees here are becoming increasingly sparse, and the shrubs are slightly different from those in the mountains.

Looking up into the distance, the front is very open, and a few thatched cottages can be seen in the distance.

Around noon, we arrived at a rural village.

After Xiao Lang used the money to buy a spacious carriage, the five of them were finally able to save some energy.

With the help of horses and vehicles, everyone's pace has also increased a lot!
By the time of Shen, Xiao Lang, Zhizhong and others had already arrived at the city of Baoding. They could see the city gate tower from afar!
