Chapter 25: The Princess's Change (3)
As soon as Wang Dehai withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, a herald with a red feather ran in:
"Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited, the emperor is given, blocking death, and the rebel is dead!"
……
The soldier's voice was hoarse, and he entered the temple and threw himself on the ground:
"The yellow flag is inlaid with Yin Fucha Lian Zhan, and it will be sent urgently for eight hundred miles!"
"Quick, report!"
Aobai's expression changed, and he hurriedly spoke.
The soldier did not get up either, took out a bamboo tube from his waist, handed it to the eunuch on the side, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"Our department is on the bank of the canal eighteen miles north of Beijing, and found traces of gangsters, and the first twenty vests have been killed...... Participating in the company's battle, he is dispatching troops to pursue ......"
Ao Baiteng stood up, and the distance from Jingshi to the place where Lian Zhan said was attacked, was only a few dozen miles.
In other words, that Qianming kid has never gone far!
He opened the bamboo tube, pulled out the letterhead inside, and after a quick look, his brows were furrowed:
"Someone!"
Ao Bai said in a deep voice: "The painter painted the portrait of Zhu Cijiong, and the writing was directly subordinate to the departments:"
"This thief's name is Zhu San, he is really a person who has committed a great crime, he actually sneaked into the palace and assassinated the Lord Long Sui, fortunately the ancestors blessed, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is safe, but then, such a person who has committed a great crime, people and gods are angry!"
"This thief has no country, his eyes are lawless, and he deserves death for his crimes......"
"With the Great Wall departments, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, focus on preventing this fang from going north to the grassland!"
"Ordering the generals of all departments, this thief is cunning, especially the stunt of being able to break the steel bars of the Water Gate with one hand, and the generals at all levels cannot be treated with the hearts of ordinary people!"
"Order the officials along the way, post the sea fishing documents, and arrest this fang, but those who have gains, regardless of military and civilian, will all be promoted to the third level of knighthood!"
……
Zhu Cijiong didn't know that overnight, a big net against him had been arranged!
Even, Ao Bai, a man who was long in the army, realized that he would make a detour to the grassland in order to get rid of the pursuit of the Qing soldiers, so he directly used 800 li to expedite and pass the order to the north first......
……
After a night of rapid travel, Zhu Cijiong and the others had already seen the majestic city wall on the top of the northern mountain.
"Son, there is the Great Wall in front, and there is the water pass on the left, as long as we break the water pass, we will jump into the sea!"
Zhang laughed and saw his nose and eyes.
"Let's go!"
But when he saw a horse rushing towards them, he shouted at them: "Master, go quickly, the Tartars of the dog day have arranged heavy troops at the border of the Great Wall, and I have seen hundreds of Tartars at the Water Gate!" ”
Everyone looked at it and saw that the person who came was Yang Qilong, who had separated last night.
"Zhu Shangxian, what about them?"
The group asked as they turned their horses.
"The monkey is gone, Lao Zhu didn't meet us last night, and I don't know what happened!"
Yang Qilong's arm was wrapped around a sleeve, and it was bloodstained, obviously, he encountered Qing soldiers last night.
The crowd did not dare to stop, and immediately rushed towards the southwest.
Zhu Cijiong asked, "What happened to you last night?" ”
Yang Qilong sighed: "I set off more than a dozen wildfires yesterday, and the horses were foaming at the water, and I saw that I couldn't run, so I led the horses towards the side we agreed." ”
"At that time, I had already crossed Beiwang, so I thought of joining you on this side of the Great Wall."
"Halfway through, I met a monkey, but he was surrounded by dogs and tartars, and I couldn't save him, and I watched him being hacked to death......"
Yang Qilong's face was full of hatred, and his arm was also cut at that time.
If he hadn't dismounted and walked before, allowing the war horse to recover his strength, I'm afraid even he would have fallen.
Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath, this is the true portrayal of this tragic world.
Industrious and brave sons and daughters of China, count them upwards, who has no relatives who died in the hands of that group of &*?
For the crab, he really wanted to ask rhetorically, couldn't he mention the blood feud of the little devil when he was in Greater East Asia?
However, people are soft-spoken, and heroes have no place to keep books......
In the nagging of everyone, Zhu Cijiong understood that the monkey - everyone didn't know what his name was, but they knew that because of the enclosure matter, the monkey's whole family was gone, and then they followed Yang Qilong to rebel......
Monkey......
This is just a microcosm of thousands of ordinary people!
Just two and a half years ago, the thirteen families of Kuidong, all dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, were slaughtered......
The tip of Zhu Cijiong's nose was a little sour, although his original life was an ordinary person, but his ancestors were also wide, and when the white lotus was in decline, it declined......
The way of the son of a bitch......
……
The partners who accompanied each other day and night suddenly broke one, and everyone's mood was a little low.
"Childe, where are we going next?"
Zhang Wide's eyes were red.
Their Zhang family is even more miserable!
If the third prince had arrived in Nanyang one step earlier, the Zhang family would not have ended up so miserable.
There is a clansman in the Zhang family, who has a great favor to Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, and after Jiashen, Zhang Shutang, who has already been a scholar, led the clansmen to stay behind to block the attack, so that Emperor Longwu could go south......
The elite of the Nanyang Zhang family is basically gone......
……
"Go to Mashuikou!"
Zhu Cijiong said in a deep voice: "The Great Wall is so long, I don't believe that there are no loopholes in the defense of the Qing soldiers!" ”
The sulfuric acid is still on the body, as long as you find a poorly defended water pass, you can escape!
There were thirty or so people, and there were less than fifteen horses, and neither of them could do it on a single ride. Everyone had to put food and armor on the horses, and only Zhu Cijiong had a separate horse.
It's just that the Great Wall is mountainous along the line, and even horses can't be ridden.
The crowd had to lead the horses and walk forward over the mountains.
On the top of a mountain, seeing that the top of the mountain was relatively open, Zhu Cijiong left several people on duty to let everyone take a break.
They have been walking for a night and a half days, if they don't rest, their physical strength will decline seriously, once they encounter the Qing army, they will be more than lucky.
Dazed, he had nightmares all the time, Zhu Cijiong didn't know how long he had been asleep, he was woken up, he opened his eyes and saw that it was already dark.
In winter, the days are very short, and I probably slept for less than three hours.
Shaking his drowsy head, Zhu Cijiong sat up.
"Master, hurry up and eat a little, just now the little ones went around and took a turn, and they have already explored clearly, just under the three peaks in front of us, there is a small tunbao of Qing soldiers."
Zhang Da handed over a piece of cake and a helmet with a few pieces of broth floating on it.
The dozen or so intact helmets seized last night came in handy at this time.
The shirt rolled with iron sheet on the head of the Qing soldiers, if it is a critical moment, it can also remove the cotton lining inside and use it as an iron pot.
