Chapter 5 [Falling into the Bandit's Nest]
King Chuang who returned to Xiangyang Mansion: Li Zicheng, who was persuaded by the generals to ascend the throne as the emperor? In particular, Gao Yigong and Li Guo and others are very supportive of King Chuang's accession to the throne, and King Chuang is not stupid Although he said that he resisted the Ming Dynasty, the experience of being surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army before was still vivid, so he didn't dare to mention this matter easily, so he asked the military advisor of the Chuang army: Niu Jinxing, I want to hear his opinions and opinions.
I only heard the military advisor of the Chuang army say, "King Qi, I think that although we have come out of the way and become a large army that can confront the Ming Empire, once this rashly claims the emperor and ascends the throne, I am afraid that the people of the world will not accept it at that time?" The second is that the Ming Dynasty has not completely reached the irreparable place, if there are a few like the Ming Army's Shangshu: Yang Sichang, the Ming Shaanxi Trilateral Governor: Hong Chengchou, and the Ming Wusi Governor: Xiong Wencan, this kind of Ming general is afraid that our army will not be protected! ”
Hearing what his military advisor said, King Chuang decided not to be the emperor for the time being, but to enter the prince [prince], and he asked people to make a set of prince's crown clothes overnight.
The next day, King Chuang wore a five-color nine-color (crown dress), the inside is five chapters of Tsing Yi, and the outside is a total of nine chapters, wearing a crown of nine pearls in the sky, symbolizing his own crown of crowning the prince, taking advantage of the beginning of the ceremony to King Chuang began to announce, "The widow is crowned the prince today, and he will be called "the king of Xinshun" in the future, and he will change Xiangyang Mansion to Xiangjing, and this is Lone's territory from now on. ”

At this moment, as soon as Wu Junzhen turned around, he saw that there were seven or eight people wearing cloth clothes and carrying bows and arrows on the slopes of the jungle, and each of them was holding some animals in their hands.
This made Wu Junzhen a little nervous, in order not to alarm them, Wu Junzhen slowly stepped back, who knew that Ma Wei, who was walking in front, saw that Wu Junzhen was still behind, so he shouted, "Hey, Brother Wu, hurry up?" ”
Immediately, the sound alarmed the hunters on the hillside, and a man with a scar on his face next to him said, "The second leader, it seems to be a deserter from the Ming army?" ”
At first, the second boss didn't want to do it? Because he remembered the words of the big boss and couldn't offend Da Ming, but the bandits next to him kept persuading, "The second master, in my opinion, how many taels of silver must have on these two deserters?" If they are taken back and handed over to the big bosses, it will be said that these two people have passed by our territory and have not paid for the journey, and they have injured our brothers! What do you think of this reason? ”
The second master nodded with satisfaction, and ordered a team of bandits with bird guns to rush down the hillside, Wu Junzhen saw this and quickly turned around and ran and took Ma Wei's hand, running in the direction of Baitu Pass, they thought; There must be a garrison inside the checkpoint? When the time comes, you can take advantage of the chaos to escape.
But the bandits were all ruthless, and the bandit bird guns raised their bird guns and aimed at them, and when they visually measured about 50 steps away from Wu Junzhen, they pulled the trigger (bang, bang, bang), and a row of white smoke buckshot hit it.
Fortunately, Wu Junzhen's ears were more sensitive, and he pulled Ma Wei sideways to make the two of them roll forward ten steps on the ground, and then they were shot in front by the bandit archers, and the bandit with a scar on his face inserted his saber and said, "Two, stop quickly so as not to lose your life!" The two of us said that only taking silver will not hurt our lives. ”
Ma Wei thought it was true when he heard it, so he pulled Wu Junzhen and said, "Brother Wu, do you still have any silver on you?" Give them a little bit and forget it! Wu Junzhen said, "I still have 30 copper plates left on me." ”
The bandits were a little unhappy when they heard this, but 30 copper plates are better than not strong? He nodded and promised to let them go as long as Wu Junzhen took it out, Wu Junzhen reluctantly took out the copper plate and handed it to the bandits, and after taking the scar-faced bandit copper plate, he handed the copper plate to the second master who came over.
At this moment, the second master said directly: "Someone! Bring the two of them back and hand them over to the big boss. Wu Junzhen only then knew that the bandits were in charge, and just as he was about to resist, he was held down by the bandits and tied up with a rope, and Ma Wei was carried by the bandits together, and the second master asked people to pull the cart up and put them on it, ready to pull back to the bandits' den in Zhongnan Mountain.
Ma Wei, who was tied with his hands and feet, was very unwilling and kept scolding, "Hey, you bandits let us go quickly, otherwise I won't be able to get around after I release the rope!" As soon as the words fell, he was punched by the bandit and said, "Damn it, be honest with me!" Otherwise, you will feel better. ”
Ma Weina, who was punched, was dumb and ate coptis, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter! He held back the pain and said to Wu Junzhen, "Brother Wu, think of a way?" ”
I saw that Wu Junzhen was calmly closing his eyes and recuperating, and he also persuaded, "Brother Ma, don't worry!" You see, although we are tied up, we are sitting on the cart, and although the bandits are fierce, they are walking, how can we say that we have earned it? ”
But Ma Wei scolded: "When is Brother Wu?" Are you still greedy for cheap enjoyment? But in fact, Wu Junzhen was waiting for the right opportunity to escape from the bandits.
Along the way, the bandits were very smart, directly bypassing all the important checkpoints and taking small roads or mountain roads, arriving at Pingli County, Hanzhong Prefecture, Chengxuan, Shaanxi Province, and from here to the north through Xunyang County by boat and waterway, after three days finally came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the territory of Juxian County, Xi'an Prefecture, the bandits docked their ships on the shore.
Then everyone began to go ashore, and the two bandits pulled up Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei, and then stepped forward and took out two strips of cloth in their hands, Ma Wei thought they were going to strangle them? Immediately pleaded, "What are you going to do?" Don't, don't kill me! Just say what you want! ”
But the bandits did not want to kill them, but according to the rules, all those who went up the mountain for the first time should be blindfolded with strips of cloth to prevent them from mixing with the spies to inspect the terrain, and the bandits carefully tied the strips of cloth and led them up the mountain.
At this time, the careful second master said: "Let them go back and forth a few times, and take them up the mountain." The bandits helped each of them turn six times with their hands, and Ma Wei wanted to vomit a little bit! After turning the circle, the bandits followed the steep path, grabbed the branches and began to walk slowly up the mountain, although Wu Junzhen turned the circle, he could vaguely feel the surrounding environment.
