Chapter 168: Watch
Liu Nian and Gu Chun were in the sharpshooter camp, the news arrived late, and when they asked for leave and rushed over, it was already afternoon. Before the two could speak, Zhang Ning smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
He was touched by the care of so many people around him, although he had to keep telling these people that he was fine. Is that a sweet burden? Zhang Ning muttered to himself silently.
Gu Chun was visibly relieved.
Liu Nian asked again and again, stretched out his hand to Zhang Ning several times, as if he wanted to touch it, and was willing to give up only after confirming that Zhang Ning was not injured, and felt that the current Zhang Ning was not the Zhang Ning who fought together before, so he retracted his hand in a curt.
Zhang Ning patted his chest and said, "It's rumored outside that I'm seriously injured and covered in blood, right?" Don't believe it. ”
Seeing that his chest was "snapping", but he was full of smiles and no pain, Liu Niancai believed it, and the whole person relaxed, dancing with his hands and saying: "You don't know, I was scared to pee when I got the news, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”
Gu Chun muttered in a low voice: "Actually, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see the last one." Really, what kind of person is Aning, how can there be anything. ”
"How can there be such a thing? Don't talk nonsense. Liu Nian glared at Gu Chun unhappily.
Zhang Ning was moved again, one can imagine how tormented Liu Nian has been in the past half an hour. He patted Liu Nian on the shoulder, a good brother is a good brother, needless to say.
The two hurried back before the camp gate closed.
Three days later, the entrance of the vegetable market was crowded.
Before the time of the execution, Cao Jixiang fainted, and was woken up by the executioner with water before the execution, crying bitterly and scolding Jia Xiaosi. Jia Xiaosi was watching the lively crowd and listened expressionlessly.
Jia Yue hung his head, and Wan Liang muttered to himself in despair, not knowing what to say.
In the other direction, Zhang Ning, dressed in purple, chose the best viewing position among a group of guards, and glanced at the prison table while eating ice cream taken out of the specially sealed box.
As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon arrived, three heads fell to the ground, and the lively people were talking, Zhang Ning walked out with the crowd, came to the open space outside, got into the carriage, and returned to the Jinyiwei compound.
The assassination did not end there, I don't know what Yang Shiqi said to the emperor, the emperor secretly ordered Zhang Ning to investigate thoroughly, and Cao Jixiang's henchmen were cleared out of the East Factory.
Jia Xiaosi was somewhat aware of this matter, but he never expressed his position, Zhang Ning only thought he didn't know, and didn't mention it to him.
…………
Gessel led a group of his followers to the gate of Datong City, handed over the customs clearance papers, and asked to leave the city.
What happened in the Yuhong Temple, Jiang Gui, the general soldier of Datong, heard about it from a letter from the capital, but he did not receive the documents that left them. After checking that the customs clearance documents were correct, the number of inspectors was less than three people, and when they inquired, Batu and the other three were detained by the Jinyi guard, so they did not embarrass them and let them go.
As soon as he left the city gate, Gessel quickly whipped his horse and took the lead, galloping away in the direction of the royal court. Today's Ming Court is no longer the Ming Court of the past, and he must report the news to the Taishi as soon as possible.
Jiang Gui stood at the head of the city and watched the smoke and dust on the grassland roll away, sighed, and said to his own soldiers: "Why didn't the imperial court leave them?" "The envoy who detained them was torn his face after all, so it was better to leave them all and have more time to prepare.
The soldiers pondered and said: "I heard that Your Majesty favors Lord Zhang, but I don't know what medicine is sold in this Lord Zhang's gourd." ”
Jiang Gui turned around and walked down the city, turned over his horse, went straight to his camp, shouted grinding ink as soon as he entered the door, and after the ink was polished, he wrote a letter to Daniel Zhang, and sent it out in six hundred li.
What kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Ning's gourd, who can know better than Daniel Zhang, ask Daniel Zhang if he can't get it?

"The sergeants of the sharpshooter battalion have been training for two months, and they are skilled in formation and accurate in marksmanship, why don't you go over and take a look?" After Zhang Ning finished talking about business, he said with a smile on his face.
Zhu Qizhen laughed and said: "I have wanted to watch it for a long time, just watching Gu Qing's drill and then firing guns is not enjoyable." ”
"The craftsmen have been working day and night these days, and they have already driven out the rifles needed by the sharpshooter battalion, and the sergeants are quick to get started." Zhang Ning was very satisfied.
Since the removal of a group of people from the sharpshooter battalion, the remaining sergeants have trained very hard, and they have experience in shooting with firearms, so they are very handy in training and are very accurate in a few days.
Zhang Ning went to the sharpshooter camp yesterday, and after discussing with Gu Xingzu, he came over today to invite Zhu Qizhen to carry out a "surprise attack". In fact, Gu Xingzu was ready for the emperor's arrival, and one task after another was arranged, but no one said anything, even his son Gu Chun was kept in the dark.
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "I haven't left the palace for a long time, Qing is waiting here, waiting for me to change my clothes." "He's been so busy lately that he hasn't had time to go out for a walk, so it's a good day off today.
Zhang Ning naturally agreed and waited in the Zhaoren Palace. A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Qizhen was dressed in white, only took Jia Xiaosi alone, and said, "Let's go." ”
Junchen sat in Zhang Ning's carriage.
The carriage went straight to the sharpshooter battalion, and the sergeant guarding the gate saw Zhang Ning coming, and hurriedly entered to report. Soon, Gu Xingzu came out, laughed when he was far away, and said, "Where did the east wind come from, blowing Lord Zhang here." ”
After receiving the report, Gu Xingzu knew in his heart that Zhang Ning had invited the emperor.
Zhang Ning leaned out of the window and said with a smile: "Master Hou doesn't need to be polite, the official trusts the big, let's see you when you enter." ”
The emperor was definitely in the carriage. Gu Xingzu was relieved in his heart and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Motioned for the sergeant to let him go.
The carriage drove in, and he followed it on foot.
As soon as he entered the gate, Zhu Qizhen was attracted by the scene on the school field, only to see rows of sergeants constantly changing formations under the command of the commander, every time they changed the formation, they shot once, and the target in the distance was already full of holes, which showed that the sergeants had accurate marksmanship.
"Stop." He said.
He couldn't see enough of such a scene, how could he let the carriage drive to Gu Xingzu's camp?
The carriage stopped in response, and Zhu Qizhen watched intently.
Zhang Ning didn't make a sound to disturb him, his eyes looked at the other side of the car window, and fell on Liu Nian. Knowing that the emperor was coming, Gu Xingzu also asked Liu Nian to drink the order, which was a favor for him to recommend Gu Chun.
Gu Xingzu chased after him, stood by the car window, and glanced at Zhang Ning's gaze, with a smile in his eyes.
Liu Nian, who was training the sergeant, was unaware, and trained for another half an hour before announcing the disbandment, and then picked up the teapot and poured tea into his mouth with the spout.
On a hot day, keep shouting, and it's no wonder if you don't die of thirst.
Sweat dripped down Liu Nian's raised face, Zhu Qizhen's gaze stayed on his face for a few breaths, and said, "This is Liu Nian?" Call him over. ”
Zhang Ning ordered to go down, and Ren Rong quickly called Liu Nian over.
When Liu Nian heard that the emperor was coming, he was startled at first, and then according to Ren Rong's instructions, he deliberately pretended not to know, and before he walked to the carriage, he winked at Zhang Ning in the car: "Why are you here?" ”
