    "Oh, I said your place is really difficult to get into. If your ninth brother hadn't come to pick me up today, I might not have been able to get in." When she saw Zheng Nan coming out, Hong Xuanjiao glanced at the clay and stone sculptures at the door.  Two red army guards looked like they were there, curling their lips and shouting.  She is now different from what she used to be. Not to mention the series of titles such as Prime Minister and Tianjing Guardian, the female camp she controlled in the past has expanded from less than a thousand to nearly 6,000 sisters, and she is responsible for the entire  Inspection mission of Tianjing City.

    Who would have thought that he, the supreme military commander of Tianjing City, would not be able to function at all when he arrived at the new camp.  First, at the first gate, he was interrogated by several guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since he didn't have any security guards on him, he would have been stopped there if he hadn't luckily met Li Fuyou.  When they arrived at the door of the ordnance station of this camp within a camp, they said nothing. The guard only said respectfully, "I'm sorry, no one can enter without a special pass." Then he ignored them at all.  The dozen or so female swordsmen who followed her rolled their eyes in anger, wishing they could go up and beat them up to relieve their anger.

    Hong Xuanjiao looked at Li Fuyou for help. Li Fuyou stuck out his tongue and spread his hands, saying that he was helpless. However, he still entered the gate first and invited His Highness Prince Ning out.

    "Haha, it's Lord Commander Hong who's here. Some are welcome from a distance, some are welcome from afar." Looking at Hong Xuanjiao's angry look, Zheng Nan even bowed and laughed.

    Hong Xuanjiao burst into laughter, "You bunch of intellectuals, you speak sourly, as if you are being polite, but it sounds like you are hurting others."

    Zheng Nan chuckled and said, "Oh, you have wronged me. How dare I harm the first heroine of our dynasty? This is definitely a heartfelt welcome." After saying that, he bowed and extended his hand to invite me.  gesture.

    "Is this just a way of welcoming you?" Hong Xuanjiao shook his head, signaling to the card players behind him not to follow, and walked into the door himself, "When we get to your territory, we can't even get in, yet you're still welcoming, huh!  "

    Zheng Nan laughed loudly, and while leading her towards his office, he explained, "There are too many secrets here, it's impossible not to do this. Besides, if you, Hong Zhen's envoy, are coming, you should call in advance.  Hello, wouldn¡¯t this kind of thing never happen?¡±

    Seeing that Hong Xuanjiao still had a pouty face and said nothing, he quickly said: "Let's do this. If the girl likes to come here in the future, I will issue you a pass later. It will be convenient in the future."

    Hong Xuanjiao finally smiled, "I don't mean to blame you. Of course, the more tightly guarded a place like this is, the better. However, that pass was something you promised to give me, not something I insisted on. I'll save you the trouble."  I will scold others in the future.¡±

    "Of course, of course." Zheng Nan chuckled.

    Hong Xuanjiao browsed this mysterious place while walking.  In the distance, there is a simple hut, from which the sound of various iron tools hitting each other can be heard from time to time, as well as a strange roar.  A little closer, there are neat rows of houses.  What attracted her most attention was the big smoker standing beside the hut. It was so thick and tall, and billows of thick smoke were blowing out.

    "Why, do you still need such a high chimney for cooking?" Hong Xuanjiao looked at Zheng Nan beside her and asked strangely.

    "That's not for cooking." Zheng Nan gestured and said, "How should I put it, steam is being produced there, and this steam is of great use. Just like a heavy-loaded cart needs a horse to drive the shaft,  With the horse-drawn cart, a lot of manpower is saved. The same is true for steam, which can drive machines and save a lot of manual labor by craftsmen, which is fast and trouble-free."

    "That's right," Hong Xuanjiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "I thought there were so many people here, so there would be so much smoke while cooking. Besides, it's not the time to cook yet.  .¡±

    When Hong Xuanjiao came to Zheng Nan¡¯s office, she never expected that it would be so simple.  It is just one of a row of tents. In addition to the dozen or so chairs it should have, there is also a large table. Perhaps due to the rush of preparation, the surface of the table is relatively smooth, but the legs are very rough.  Not even painted.  The desk was covered with pieces of paper with drawings that she couldn't understand.  On one side, Lu Jing was immersed in writing something. When he saw her coming in, he just raised his head and smiled, said hello, and went back to his own business.

    "Please sit down, sister Xuanjiao." Zheng Nan looked at Hong Xuanjiao's slightly surprised eyes, and while calling the guards to come in and pour her tea, he sat down and smiled, "Doesn't it look very messy? I can't help it.  , there will always be a process at the beginning, just take your time and it will get better. My sister is here today, what can I do? "

    "Oh," Hong Xuanjiao mechanically agreed, then smiled gracefully, "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

    "Okay, okay"?.  "Zheng Nan took the water brought by the guard and put it in her hand.

    Hong Xuanjiao took a sip of the hot tea, feeling warm in her heart.  She would not go to the Three Treasures Palace without anything to do. Of course she came here only if she had something to do.  "If Brother Ninth has a room, you should do your work first. I'll sit here and rest for a while. I'm not in a hurry. I just want to come and see you." As she said that, her face blushed slightly and she lowered her head slightly.

    "Okay, sister, sit down first. I'll deal with the things at hand and then chat with her. I'll invite you to have dinner with me." Zheng Nan stood up with a smile, packed up the drawings on the table, and called the guard at the door.  Come in.

    Looking at Prince Ning, whose eyes were covered with red threads and whose face was obviously rusty, Hong Xuanjiao's thoughts suddenly returned to the Heavenly King's Mansion last night.

    Just after dinner, the second brother sent the female official to call her to the imperial study room.  As soon as he saw his second brother, he seemed not to recognize him. He looked at her carefully, making her feel confused and shy at the same time.

    "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Hong Xuanjiao sat down angrily, and there seemed to be a needle glow on the chair.

    Hong Xiuquan chuckled and said, "I just want to see if my sister is still the same girl as before."

    Hong Xuanjiao snorted from the blow in the nose.  It was okay not to mention this, but she felt sour in her heart when she mentioned it.  Unlike her brothers, she didn't like red clothes since she was a child, and she got headaches when she saw pens, inkstones and female workers.  She likes to wield swords and swords, so she also developed good martial arts skills and became a rare good assistant to Hong Xiuquan before the uprising.  She can indeed be called the number one heroine of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not because of anyone's favor, but because of her agility and changeability when going deep into the tiger's den, and her bravery and fearlessness when attacking a city, which has won praise from everyone.

    "It's a pity that her own life-long event was hasty and failed to turn out as she imagined.  For political purposes, she humbly served Xiao Chaogui.  It can be said that she has completely given up herself for the sake of her second brother's so-called great cause.  Now, she had a vague feeling again. This feeling had happened when her second brother persuaded her to commit herself to Xiao Chaogui
