As Luo Yao Guo left the village of Shaoyi Du where Hong Xiu Quan was staying, pushing his electric tricycle along a rather muddy rural path, he still felt as if he were in a dream.
Did he really cross through?
&nbs
Did he really have to bid farewell to his parents, siblings, and dearest friends from another era, to set off alone in the tumultuous 19th century, to strive for a life's peak that he had never dared to imagine?
Is all of this... just a dream?
"Eighth Brother, Eighth Brother... We've arrived!"
A Hakka accent suddenly interrupted Luo Yao Guo's thoughts, and he hurriedly looked up to see a small and dilapidated wharf ahead. On the wharf and in the nearby river, there were over two hundred large wooden ships moored. One of the wooden ships even had a large flag with red toothed border hanging from it, with just two characters in the center — South King!
The camp of South King Feng Yunshan was actually a water camp. The boats that should have been burned by the Qing army in the battle of Sheyi Du were mostly well-preserved and moored here now.
These ancient-style wooden boats, this dilapidated and narrow wharf, and the Heavenly Kingdom's soldiers guarding the wharf — all were so real... It seems that everything is true, not a dream at all!
"Eighth Brother," at this time, Feng Yunshan approached Luo Yao Guo's side and pointed to a smaller wooden boat moored next to the one with the "South King" flag, "This one is yours!"
Ah, so he got a ship right off the bat... This is good, there's potential!
"Thank you, Third Brother," Luo Yao Guo quickly said his thanks.
Feng Yunshan laughed and said, "We're brothers, what's the need for formality?" He turned to Su San Nuan who was still holding the "Saint Delivery Box" and said, "Three Nun, take care of the angel's daily life and safety... No mistakes allowed!"
Su San Nuan immediately dropped to her knees, letting go of the "Saint Delivery Box", then bowed to Feng Yunshan and said: "Three Nun obeys."
Then she looked at Luo Yao Guo and said, "Heavenly Messenger, whatever you command me to do, just order it, and I, Three Nun, dare not refuse."
After saying that, she was about to kneel and bow three times.
Luo Yao Guo quickly rushed forward, placed his hands on the two tiny arms of Su San Nuan, and pushed her up with all his might. When Su San Nuan stood up, Luo Yao Guo discovered that this woman was extraordinarily tall, almost 1.75 meters! Her figure was also well-shaped, her face was attractive, and now it was just in its natural state. It already qualified as a handsome beauty. If she put on a bit of makeup, what would she be like...... Right, what did she say just now? She said to do whatever he commands without any hesitation!
That's quite a statement... If Luo Yao Guo doesn't give her something to do, it would be a shame after over twenty years of single life!
Luo Yao Guo's expression of attraction towards Su San Nuan was certainly not something that could be hidden from Feng Yunshan's eyes. And this Feng Nan Wang had a little bit of a smug look on his face - Su San Nuan was a native of Guangdong and had come from the big man organization, the Triad. She was not affiliated with the Cantonese-origin guys like Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, and Shida Kaiping. She had always been a loyal follower of Feng Yunshan, the South King from Guangdong.
If he could use Su San Nuan to snare Luo Angel, Feng Yunshan would have a chip to leverage against Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui!
Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan coughed and cleared his throat, then called out, "Eighth Brother!"
Only then did Luo Yao Guo move his gaze away from Su San Nuan's flushed face and heaving chest...
"Third Brother, what's your command?" Luo Yao Guo released his hold on Su San Nuan's arms and turned his head to smile and ask.
Su San Nuan, who had long been experienced in the world, was not a silly woman. After Luo Yao Guo grabbed her arm and "scanned" her up and down with his eyes just now, she understood everything.
This heavenly messenger is somewhat improper. He's not only improper, but he's also young, with a pair of thick eyebrows, great potential, a bit domineering and deceitful......
Thinking of this, Su San Nuan's cheeks flushed even more, turning red as a ripe apple.
"Three Nun," Feng Yunshan did not continue to talk with Luo Yao Guo, but instructed Su San Nuan instead, "You and some people bring his flying vehicle and the Saint Delivery Box up to his ship and tidy it up well. Then prepare dinner, a bath of water, and clean clothes for him. Only then come and fetch him to board the ship."
Moreover, arrange some strong martial arts and loyal female soldiers to protect the angel's safety...... Do not make any mistakes!”
Feng Yunshan's words initially were all positive, but as he went on, they became somewhat stern, causing Luo Yao Guo to feel slightly nervous.
He was too aware of the huge differences in conflict between Hong Xiuquan, Feng Yunshan, and "Yang God" and "Xiao Jesus"! He also knew that his heavenly messenger posed a significant threat to the divine power of "Yang God" and "Xiao Jesus".
After all, he was descended from heaven, having seen the true God and Jesus! He must have a way to expose "Yang God" and "Xiao Jesus"......
Su San Nuan also knew about the power struggle within the top echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In fact, she and other former Triad bosses like Luo Dabiao, Wu Ruxiao, Zeng Tianyang, and Bi San Nun were all involved in the power struggle within the Heavenly Kingdom.
And the South King Feng Yunshan was the top leader supported by these Triad bosses!
Now that the elder Feng Yunshan had personally entrusted the task of protecting Luo Yao Guo, Su San Nuan could not afford to be negligent. She quickly bowed and said, "South King, rest assured, I will personally protect the angel!"
Protecting personally? Luo Yao Guo thought, "I can rest assured then!" You are the Heavenly Kingdom's first female general described by Long Qixi as "with arms that have fought over a hundred battles, never missing a shot among a thousand!"
Feng Yunshan nodded and then smiled at Luo Yao Guo, "Eighth Brother, you go sit on my ship for a while. Once Three Nun has everything arranged, she will come for you."
"That's quite a favor," Luo Yao Guo bowed to Feng Yunshan and then smiled at Su San Nuan before following Feng Yunshan onto the ship.
...
"Congratulations to the South King, your wound has healed significantly, and the fever has completely gone down! What a miracle, a miracle!"
On the South King Feng Yunshan's ship, a medical officer in his thirties, with a fair complexion like a scholarly man and speaking in a Hakka accent, examined the wound on Feng Yunshan's forehead and, upon finding that the inflammation had completely subsided, also couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
"Li the doctor," Feng Yunshan smiled and pointed at Luo Yao Guo, who was sitting opposite him, "This is thanks to my angel brother eight from heaven bringing me amoxicillin pills and ibuprofen liquid made by heavenly brother."
Luo Yao Guo asked with a smile, "Dr. Li, is your name Li Chunjia... Oh, should it be Li Liang?"
This Li Jun Chang is a person recorded in the Medical and Health Volume of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History". Luo Yao Guo has a good memory, so he still remembers this person.
The "Dr. Li" nodded and replied, "My original name was Jun Chang, but I changed it to Jun Liang to avoid the taboo of Beiyang King."
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had many taboos to avoid! Not only were they to avoid the taboos of Hong Xiuquan, but also those of God, Jesus, as well as Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, and Shi Daikai.
Perhaps in the near future, everyone will have to avoid Luo Yao Guo's taboo... really troublesome!
Feng Yunshan lightly waved his hand and said, "All of you can go."
Li Junliang, the imperial physician of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the other female officials in the cabin bowed and retreated.
In this large, elaborately decorated cabin, the only two people left facing each other were Feng Yunshan and Luo Yao Guo, eye to eye.
Feng Yunshan picked up a cup of tea from the side table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then smiled and said, "Eighth Brother, you've been in heaven for a long time. Do you know how my four brother, five brother, six sister, six sister-in-law, and seven brother are living here in the mortal world?"
"I have a general idea," Luo Yao Guo laughed, "Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom preaches that everyone is equal and all things belong to the Lord above, no one goes hungry or cold, and everything is fair and even... But some of the enjoyments my elder brothers and respected brother-in-law have in the mortal world are even better than when they were in heaven... Even heavenly brother sometimes looks enviously at them!"
"Even heavenly brother envies us?" Feng Yunshan was surprised, but he was different from people like Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, and Shida Kaiping. He really believed that Hong Xiuquan was the son of the Heavenly Father.
He wouldn't have done so with his genius persuasive and organizational capabilities, helping that man who can only lie and win Hong Xiuquan to organize such a good business. Therefore, he also believes that there is a heavenly brother living in the paradise.
But why would the heavenly brother in paradise envy the brothers in the mortal world?
Perhaps... is it because we are too corrupt?
Luo Yao Guo smiled faintly and said, "Third Brother, our heavenly brother does not have thirty-six concubines... Not to mention heavenly brother, even the Heavenly Father does not have so many wives!"
"This..." Feng Yunshan already sensed something was amiss. He quickly asked, "I wonder how many wives does the Heavenly Father and the heavenly brother have?"
"Not as many as you!" Luo Yao Guo said.
"Not as many as you? I only have six concubines!" Feng Yunshan asked, "Then...... how many wives do they have in total?"
Luo Yao Guo held up four fingers: "Not more than four."
"Only this much?" Feng Yunshan found it hard to believe.
The Heavenly Father and the heavenly brother are too modest.
Luo Yao Guo continued, "The Heavenly Father is for the common good, everyone in the sky is well-fed and rich, but there is no such thing as everything belonging to the Heavenly Father! The Heavenly King wants to save the people and achieve great enterprises, so naturally he needs to collect resources from others, accumulating a little at a time... But this needs to be done over a long period of time..."
Seeing Luo Yao Guo hesitating to speak, Feng Yunshan quickly asked, "Eighth Brother, if this continues indefinitely, can the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still unify the world?"
"No!" Luo Yao Guo replied resolutely.
"Can't? Are the Heavenly Father and heavenly brother not helping the Heavenly King?" Feng Yunshan asked again.
"Of course, they help!" Luo Yao Guo laughed, "Otherwise, why would I come down?"
Feng Yunshan looked at Luo Yao Guo: "Eighth Brother, what do you mean...?"
Luo Yao Guo smiled and said, "I have a heavenly secret!"
"Divine secret?" Feng Yunshan thought to himself: So this angel, Brother Luo, has come down to earth on a mission!
Luo Yao Guo continued, "I have a treasure, called the 'Heavenly Secrets' mirror! It was taken by Su San Nuan today... Third Brother, it's too late today. Wait for me to get my treasure back and communicate with the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother. I'll show you tomorrow. You'll see then."
Feng Yunshan was stunned: "Eighth Brother, is this true?"
Luo Yao Guo nodded and then said in a mysterious tone to Feng Yunshan, "Third Brother, this is a heavenly secret; it must not be revealed... Not even to Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Sister, respected brother-in-law, or Seventh Brother."
"Even the Heavenly King..."
"Yes!" Luo Yao Guo said, "It is the will of the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother!"
"All right, I understand!"
