The sun is shining and the river is surging.

The west gate of Jingzhou City. Zhang Xianzhong took his two godsons Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi, as well as his think tanks Pan Duxi and Xu Yixian, and generals Liu Jinzhong, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing and other general civil and military officers appeared in the West Gate Tower.

Outside the west gate, on the bank of the moat, the soldiers are like the mountains of soldiers, and the generals are like the sea, all of them are the army of the Ming Dynasty, swords, guns, swords, halberds, dazzling eyes in the bright sunshine, and it seems to be a forest of steel.

Flags of all colors fluttering high, stretching in the wind, hunting. Among them, the words of the commander's banner "The prince and the prince and the thief commander Miyun General Army" are particularly conspicuous.

A group of yellow horses under the boss's banner were immediately seated by Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wore a silver-white helmet, a silver-white armor, a red robe, a single sword hanging from his waist, a bow and arrows behind his back, and sat down on a yellow horse, with a green dragon glaive hanging on the victory hook of the bird's ring.

This one was dressed in the bright sun, like a silver doll.

Zhang Xianzhong stood at the head of the city, and his eyes had already locked on Huang Bi's heroic and majestic Lin Yi.

Zhang Xianzhong saw Lin Yi for the first time, he didn't expect that such a famous and famous Lin Taishi, Lin Da Commander, and Lin Zongbing turned out to be a young man in his twenties, and he was on par with Li Dingguo, the most beautiful in his army.

Lin Yi's god-of-war rise experience, now they also know that in just a few years, from a big-headed soldier, he has become a feudal official and a court official, this is simply legendary!

At this time, Lin Yi also saw Zhang Xianzhong at the battlement on the city tower, and after the guidance of his general, Lin Yi also locked his eyes on this legendary figure in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhong was born with a burly figure, a golden helmet on his head, a golden lock chain armor, a green robe, a sword hanging from his waist, a big face on his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a yellow face and beard, and his age is around 40 years old, majestic and dignified.

After Lin Yi saw it, he nodded in his heart, and he really looked good. Zhang Xianzhong, who claims to be the Eight Kings, is as famous as Li Zicheng, and has been the emperor for a few days, looks like this, and the image of the actors selected by the writers and directors in later film and television dramas is simply worlds apart.

At this time, Lin Yi waved his hand, and the neat soldiers made a noise, dodged a road behind, and a prisoner cart came from behind.

Lin Yi shouted to the above: "Zhang Xianzhong, do you know this person?"

Zhang Xianzhong had already seen that a person sitting on the prisoner cart was wearing a cloak and a haircut, and when he raised his head to look at it, Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback, the prisoner cart was filled with no one else, it was his godson Li Dingguo.

Although it is a godfather and son, Zhang Xianzhong has not given birth to a son so far, and his four godsons are more than one to scratch his face, all of them are brave and good at fighting, which one can be alone, Zhang Xianzhong regards the four sons as his own sons, and also as his own right-hand man.

In recent years, the reason why he has been able to break through the encirclement of the official army is that his four godsons have made great contributions, especially in the battle during the Sichuan period, he and the official army have won and lost each other, which can be said to be full of dangers. If it weren't for the bloody struggle of his four sons and the sacrifice of their lives, even if he Zhang Xianzhong had eight lives, he would now go to see Lord Yama.

Among these four sons, there is certainly a ranking in terms of talent, merit, and status. The eldest is Sun Kewang, the second is Li Dingguo, the third is Liu Wenxiu, and the fourth is Ai Nengqi.

After the establishment of the Daxi regime, that is, after Zhang Xianzhong became emperor in Sichuan, these four godsons were all crowned kings, known as the four commanders.

Especially Li Dingguo, he is beautiful, filial and capable, except for Sun Kewang, Zhang Xianzhong likes and values him the most. Therefore, although it is not biological, it is better than biological child.

Now that Li Dingguo has become a prisoner in the car, no one expected that their father and son would be able to meet each other in this situation.

Zhang Xianzhong also believed that Li Dingguo had already been killed by the official army, or sent to Beijing to be dismantled. Li Dingguo, who had been imprisoned for more than a year, did not expect that Lin Yi would be able to arrange for their father and son to meet here.

A city, a city, can be said to be close at hand, or it can be said to be far away. Zhang Xianzhong saw that Li Dingguo had not seen him in the past few days, and he had completely changed.

Once upon a time, Li Dingguo was called a small lieutenant Chi, with a halberd in the horse's palm under his crotch, one horse and three weapons, and in the army of ten thousand horses, he took the enemy's head like probing for things. But now he has become a prisoner, but although he is a little embarrassed, he doesn't seem to have any injuries on his body, and his face is not very thin, maybe the surname Lin didn't torture him much, right? can meet him like Lin Yi, Li Dingguo can be regarded as a good person. If it was replaced by another official army, Li Dingguo would either have his head cut off, or he would have been escorted to Beijing to be injured, not to mention that he couldn't see it, even if he saw it at this time, he was scarred, but he couldn't see any injuries all over his body, and when it came to the hands of officers and soldiers, this was also a miracle.

Both father and son were a little excited at this time, if they didn't see each other, it would be okay, but the life and death parting of meeting would be even more tear-jerking.

Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and tried hard to control himself, tears did not fall in the circles under his eyes, Zhang Xianzhong's nose was also a little sour, and his eye circles were a little red. The father and son's chests heaved and heaved, and they couldn't say a thousand words.

Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi were also a little excited and sad at this time, after all, they were brothers, fighting side by side, born and died, and hated the same enemy, and now in the next second, looking at Li Dingguo, it is estimated that he will lose his head, and the hearts of the two of them are also lying together.

"The surname Lin, if you kill my brother Li Dingguo, I swear to break your body into ten thousand pieces!" Sun Kewang, as the eldest brother, couldn't help shouting at Lin Yi under the city.

Lin Yi, who had been observing for a long time, smiled, feeling that their reaction was relatively strong, it seemed that there was a drama today.

Lin Yi pulled Li Dingguo out, of course, he had his own purpose, but he didn't make them emotional for no reason.

"Your kid is Sun Kewang, it's not certain who will break the body into thousands of pieces, but I can tell you clearly, this Taishi didn't plan to kill him today, let Zhang Xianzhong answer, you junior don't have that qualification!"

Lin Yi now also knows that this person is Sun Kewang, with a slightly dark face and a treacherous face, which makes people look like they are not a good thing, linked to the second half of his life, and his consequences, Lin Yi now feels that people and names are quite right.

After the death of Zhang Xianzhong in history, the Onishi regime was in jeopardy. The power fell into the hands of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo. However, the two had different political views, Sun Kewang advocated fleeing overseas, and Li Dingguo advocated Lianming to resist the Qing Dynasty and avenge Zhang Xianzhong.

In this way, the two parted ways, if this is the case, he Sun Kewang can also be regarded as a character, the brothers are not in harmony, and the father and son are more opposed, but Sun Kewang later surrendered to the Manchu Tartars, became a shameful traitor, turned around and fought against Li Dingguo and others, and helped the Manchu Tartars to enslave and kill Han compatriots, then he fell into infamy through the ages, was nailed to the shame frame of history, and will never come down.

Of course, Lin Yi knew this history in his heart, so after he knew that this Sun Kewang was wearing colored glasses, he came to see him with colored glasses, so when he saw him, he knew that it was not a good thing, and it could also be a problem of mentality, Lin Yi now asked him to shut up directly.

Zhang Xianzhong heard Lin Yi say this, and felt that there was still a door to the matter, if he didn't kill Li Dingguo, what he said was right, if he wanted to kill him, he would have killed him a long time ago, and he couldn't wait until now, but is this a condition to be discussed? There will definitely be no pie in the sky, and the one surnamed Lin will never let Xiao Yuer go unconditionally, no matter what conditions are proposed, as long as you can accept it, it is better than anything else to be able to exchange for Xiao Yuer, thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly straightened his chest and said to Lin Yi under the city: "I, Zhang Jingxuan, am here!"

As soon as Lin Yi waved his hand, someone pushed Li Dingguo down, making it inconvenient for him to say something at the scene.

"Zhang Xianzhong, this Taishi has a few words, would you like to hear them?" When Lin Yi said this, he almost didn't brush his beard.

"Lord Lin, if you have something to say, please speak in person, Zhang will listen to you." Zhang Xianzhong was also polite.

"Okay, Master Ben plans to release Li Dingguo, are you willing?"

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he was naturally surprised and happy, but he knew that there must be a following, "Lord Lin, Zhang is willing to hear the details and tell me about your conditions." ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the Eight Great Kings, his brain is really good, and as soon as he speaks, he knows what the intention of this Taishi is." Master Ben saw that Li Dingguo was enough to be a character, and planned to let him go, but I, Lin Yi, never did a loss-making transaction. I don't know if you've heard of it, I caught Li Guo and his son in Nanyang, and I didn't kill them, and finally Li Zicheng ransomed the father and son with 50,000 taels of silver, how much silver are you going to give to Li Dingguo today? ”

Outside Nanyang City, Lin Yi used Li Guo's father and son to blackmail Li Zicheng with 50,000 taels of silver, Zhang Xianzhong had really heard of this, but he couldn't believe it, it was true, and thought it was a rumor. Now listening to Lin Yi say it himself, he thinks it's true.

After making trouble for a long time, the surname Lin is asking for money, and he has not killed Xiao Yuer, nor has he sent it to Jingshi, it turns out that he has an idea, this kid is really rich, and it is no wonder that these officials in the Ming Dynasty do not love money, and they are still a corrupt official. But that's a good thing for us. Whether he asks for money or land, as long as I Zhang Xianzhong can accept it, I will give it to him, what is the silver?

But this kid is not afraid of exchanging Li Dingguo for silver, and when the time comes, the court will find him to settle accounts? It's not a light crime to exchange a felony in the court for silver flowers? Didn't Chongzhen blame him for not cutting off his head? Can the military department spare him? This is a guy who wants money and doesn't want to die!

It doesn't matter if he lives or dies in the future, it's better to be killed, with one less opponent. For now, if that's the case, I'll be able to deal with him in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong said: "Lord Lin, you can make a price, as long as I, Zhang Xianzhong, can get it, I will definitely not be stingy."

"It's so refreshing." Lin Yi said, "Then let's compare the price of Li Guo's father and son, Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, and Li Laiheng is Li Zicheng's grandson, whether it is dry or wet, it is almost the same." Li Dingguo is your godson again, it stands to reason that his son should be worth more than his nephew and grandson, two steps are not closer, so how about you also give 50,000 taels of silver? ”

Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed when he heard it, 50,000 taels of silver could be exchanged for Li Dingguo, it was simply too cheap, he thought that this Lin Yi would open his mouth widely, at least he had to ask for a hundred thousand or even a hundred thousand taels of silver, but he didn't expect it to be 50,000 taels of silver.

I, Zhang Xianzhong, brought out more than this amount of silver from Sichuan, and now I have taken Xiangyang, Yichang, Jingzhou and other places, and the silver in the hands of these local officials and rich families belongs to me, not to mention 50,000 taels, I want 1.8 million taels of silver.

"Okay, 50,000 taels will be 50,000 taels." Zhang Xianzhong readily agreed, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to have the following, so he was fooled.
