said that Wang Qiang was beaten for nothing, but with the help of the emperor's hand, he taught the queen a lesson and disposed of bangs, and he felt relieved. He was helped back to the house by two little eunuchs, and the Tai Hospital got the news and sent someone to treat Wang Qiang's injuries, but the Tai Doctor who came was Wang Qiang's old acquaintance Bi David.

Wang Qiang felt pain at this time, lying on the bed humming and chirping, Bi David twisted Wang Qiang's robe with scissors, gently uncovered it, carefully checked the injury, and said softly: "The chief manager doesn't have to worry, it's just some small injuries outside the skin, and it will be cured in less than three days with the gold sore medicine below." ”

"Oops, there's Dr. Laobi, hey." Wang Qiang snorted.

Bi David took out the wound medicine, poured it in the palm of his hand, and gently applied it to Wang Qiang's buttocks, Wang Qiang only felt a coolness on his buttocks, and the pain suddenly reduced a lot.

David Bi gave Wang Qiang medicine, sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with Wang Qiang, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a piece of iron next to Wang Qiang's pillow, and his face changed instantly, that piece of iron was the "Dead Soldier Order" that Jiang Yuquan gave to Wang Qiang at the beginning!

Bi Dawei whispered to Wang Qiang and said, "Can the chief manager tell them to go down first, and then give the adults a careful inspection later." ”

"Oh, okay, you go down first." Wang Qiang was lying on his stomach and couldn't see David Bi's expression.

Bi Dawei waited for everyone to go out, and then leaned over and pretended to inspect the injury on Wang Qiang's back, but his eyes kept staring at the piece of iron to distinguish it carefully.

After reading the inspection, David Bi straightened up and asked as if unintentionally, "What year did Chief Wang enter the palace?" ”

Wang Qiang only said that David was chatting with him, and he didn't pay much attention, and replied casually: "Four years ago, didn't you go out for more than two years in the middle." ”

"Oh, you have become a chief steward at such a young age, you are truly a genius in the world."

"Hey, it's nothing, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, and I caught up." Wang Qiang said indifferently.

"What did the chief steward do before entering the palace? Why did you enter the palace? David Bi asked.

"This, to be honest, I'm still confused. used to be just a gangster, but then he fell ill and died, and he didn't know anything, but he was rescued by his father-in-law and entered the palace like this. Wang Qiang said.

David Bi seemed to have just discovered the piece of iron, picked it up casually and rubbed it, and said, "This thing is also novel, I don't know where the chief manager got it." ”

"An old man gave it to me." Wang Qiang said.

"Old man!" David Bi muttered to himself, nodded to himself, and said in his heart: "It seems to be good." ”

He leaned down in Wang Qiang's ear and whispered, "The golden dragon soars all over the world!" ”

Wang Qiang was shocked when he heard this, turned his head sharply to stare at David Bi, and said in a low voice: "One-horned Yaojing!" ”

David Bi hurriedly turned over and knelt in front of the bed, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates meet the nine thousand years old!" ”

This David Bi is one of the dead soldiers that Wei Zhongxian accepted back then! David Bi was a man in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he learned the ability to use drugs under the leader of the Five Poisons Gang. When he was young, David Bi was suave and handsome, and he was also well-known in the rivers and lakes. That year, when the leader of the Five Poisons Gang was out, the wife of the gang leader seduced him in every way, but David Bi couldn't control it, and the two of them had their own lives. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the gang leader, and the five poisons gang leader acted viciously, arrested David Bi, abolished his martial arts, and imposed palace punishment, and then expelled him from the door wall. The Five Poisons Gang also said on the rivers and lakes that no gang was allowed to take this person in. Adultery with his wife is a sin against human morality, which is despised by the world, Bi David lost his martial arts, had no support, could not gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and suffered humiliation. Just when David Bi was cornered, Wei Zhongxian secretly took him in, healed his injuries, and later sent troops to destroy the Five Poisons Sect and help him take revenge. He went incognito to the palace to work as an errand in the Tai Hospital, and his ability to use poison, coupled with decades of dedicated study of pharmacology, became a generation of famous doctors. After Wei Zhongxian's bad incident, his identity was not revealed, so he still stayed in the palace.

When Wang Qiang got this dead order, he attached great importance to it when he first entered the palace, and he took it with him every day, hoping to find someone who knew the goods, but no one responded to it for a few months. He didn't care about the injury on his buttocks, he struggled to get up, helped David Bi up and said, "Old Bi, get up quickly, our brothers don't talk about that nonsense." ”

David Bi got up and bowed down and said: "The chief manager really doesn't dare to say this, nine thousand years old and I have the grace of recreation, you have inherited the mantle of nine thousand years old, that is, the master below, the words of brothers must not be mentioned again." ”

Wang Qiang saw that Bi David's expression was solemn, and knew that he was serious, so he no longer insisted, and said: "It's okay, but you are still the same, and you must not reveal your identity." ”

"Subordinates can save it." David Bi said.

Wang Qiang beckoned David Bi to sit at the head of the bed and asked, "Old Bi, when the old man gave me the order for the dead, he didn't have time to reveal the specific information of the dead, do you know what the current situation of the other dead soldiers is?" ”

David Bi said: "Back to the master, the identity of the dead soldiers is extremely secret, and the chain contact method is adopted. This serial contact method means that each dead soldier only knows the identity of the next dead soldier, and as long as the offline is gone, the contact will be cut off. ”

"Oh, I understand, that is to say, Zhang San knows Li Si, Li Si knows Wang Wu, and Wang Wu knows Zhang San, such a chain method." Wang Qiang said.

"Yes, Master Shengming." David Bi praised.

"And what do you know about the downline? Is it still there? Wang Qiang asked with concern.

"This person is still there, his name is Zhao Shizhong, he was originally the eunuch in charge of the palace in charge of legal affairs, and then he was killed at the age of 9,000, he escaped from the palace, and now he has settled in Cheng'en Temple in Luoxiao Mountain, and his name is Huiji Monk." David Bi said.

"Well, does this Huiji monk have any skills?" Wang Qiang then asked.

"This Huiji monk is proficient in Buddhism, and his martial arts are also unfathomable." David Bi said.

"Oh! It's actually a martial arts master! Wang Qiang inadvertently got two masters as subordinates, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

"What does the master have to command now, but if he is sent, his subordinates will not give up." David Bi said.

Wang Qiang thought about it for a long time, and couldn't think of anything to do with David, so he said: "It's nothing at the moment, but now that the queen has turned her face with me, you can help me pay attention carefully." ”

"Subordinates obey."

Seeing that it was dark outside, he was worried about Chen Yuanyuan in his heart, and he didn't care about eating, so he got up and rushed to Zhongcui Palace.

When Wang Qiang arrived at Zhongcui Palace, he saw several of the emperor's guards standing at the door, and Lin Shan, the eunuch holding Yue, was also waiting at the door. Wang Qiang's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said secretly: "It's bad, the emperor is here!" ”

Lin Shan greeted Wang Qiang and asked, "Manager Wang, why are you here?" ”

Wang Qiang rushed to the door and said, "The emperor is here, I want to come over and see, is there anything wrong with the emperor." ”

Hehe, Lin Shan laughed evilly, and whispered in Wang Qiang's ear when he rushed to the door: "The emperor has been here a long time ago." The emperor said, no one will be seen today. You won't be able to please if you go in now. ”

Wang Qiang's heart darkened, Chongzhen went to Zhongcui Palace, obviously came to Chen Yuanyuan, he used a series of tactics this afternoon, he wanted to make the emperor and the queen have a conflict, hit the queen's arrogance, and by the way, extinguished Chongzhen's thoughts about Chen Yuanyuan, but Chongzhen still refused to let go of Chen Yuanyuan.

Wang Qiang grinded at the door for a long time, couldn't think of any way, had to go back to the mansion in a huff, thinking that he had tried his best, but still couldn't help Chen Yuanyuan escape this catastrophe, the fire in his heart arched upwards one by one, looking at the late sky, it is estimated that Chen Yuanyuan will suffer misfortune if he continues to consume it, he reached out and touched the fan that Li Gang made for him in his sleeve, got up, and said in his heart: "I simply fight with Ya!" Thinking like this, he walked out, and when he arrived at the gate, he stopped again, thinking about it, not to mention that Chongzhen had a lot of guards around him, and there was no chance of winning, even if he was lucky, what could he do, his secret weapon could only numb him, and after a while, he would slow down, or cut off his head, and he would definitely be beheaded all over the house, even affecting many people, and he couldn't save Yuanyuan. He was so anxious that he stamped his foot, feeling that the house was too stuffy, so he went out and wandered around the palace.

It was getting late, the gate of the inner palace had been keyed, only one side door was opened, and a few guards were guarding the door, and when they saw Wang Qiang coming, they all bowed and saluted. Wang Qiang paced out of the small door and came to the outer palace, and saw that the light in the cabinet duty room was still on, he looked through the window, and saw Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, and Yang Guangguang, the secretary of the ministry, on duty. Wang Qiang is familiar with the two of them, but after being cut into power, they are afraid of Chongzhen's suspicion, so they have no contact, Wang Qiang is depressed in his heart, and he wants to find someone to talk to, so he raised his feet and entered the duty room. When the two saw Wang Qiang coming, they both got up to greet him, Zhang Shaoliang took Wang Qiang's hand and said with a smile: "Oh, I said Mr. Wang, since you entered the palace, we haven't seen each other again, are you so busy inside?" ”

Wang Qiang was full of worries, and said with a wry smile: "I can't talk about it, but I'm very depressed, and I'm not as comfortable as when I'm outside." ”

Seeing Yang Sichang's sad look, he asked strangely, "What's wrong with Lord Yang, it seems that there is something in his heart?" ”

Yang Sichang sighed and said, "Not only is there something, but it is a hundred thousand urgent things. Saying that, he picked up two military newspapers from the bookcase, with three red feathers on them, and at first glance, they were emergency military newspapers that were urgently transmitted to Beijing for 800 miles, Wang Qiang asked: "What's the matter, something happened on the front line?" ”

"Isn't it? Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, the bandits conquered Xi'an, killed King Fu, and expanded his power to the whole of Shaanxi! The situation in the northwest and southwest is critical. Chen Shaoliang said.

"What? Then don't hurry up and report to the emperor! Wang Qiang said.

"He also said that the emperor, I don't know what's going on these days, I always go back to the palace early, and I don't handle government affairs as diligently as before. At this hour, we can't enter the inner palace, and now we are sending a military report to the emperor and interfering with the emperor's Yaxing, isn't that looking for scolding! Yang Sichang complained helplessly.

Wang Qiang's brain had a flash of inspiration, yes, isn't this the magic weapon to save Yuanyuan! He grabbed the two military newspapers, hugged them in his arms like a baby, and said eagerly: "How can such an important matter be delayed!" In this way, I will go and submit these two military reports to the emperor, you prepare, and the emperor will come out and ask you eighty percent, and I will be scolded by the emperor. After saying that, he turned around and ran to the inner palace.

Yang Sichang shouted behind his back: "Hey, Mr. Wang, you have to make a record." Wang Qiang didn't care about his set, and he had already entered the inner palace in a blink of an eye.

The red candles in the Zhongcui Palace are shining, the warmth is melting, Concubine Li accompanied Chongzhen to eat in the warm pavilion, she personally made a small dish for Chongzhen, and specially prepared fruit wine for Chongzhen, Chongzhen had a few cups of fruit wine, his face was red, and his lust gradually flooded in his heart. Although there is no silk and bamboo accompaniment, her posture is beautiful, the advance and retreat are orderly, and the movement gives people a sense of detachment, Chongzhen stared at Chen Yuanyuan with straight eyes, her breathing became heavier and heavier, Concubine Li got up with a smile, waved her hand gently, and all the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving in the warm pavilion quietly retreated, and Concubine Li also walked out of the warm pavilion gently, turned around and closed the door.

Chongzhen stood up and slowly walked towards Chen Yuanyuan in the center of the carpet, it happened that Yuanyuan flicked his sleeves, and the long red gauze sleeves waved in front of Chongzhen's eyes, Chongzhen grabbed the sleeve and took it to his arms, only to hear a squeak, Chen Yuanyuan's red yarn was torn in half, and slipped off his body, Chen Yuanyuan was also taken to a stumbling position, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Chongzhen had forced him over with a lewd smile, and suddenly panicked, and fell to the ground, burying his head deeply, and his body trembled in horror.

Chongzhen lowered his head and looked at the stunner in front of him proudly, and just wanted to comfort him with a few words, only to hear a noisy voice outside the Xinuan Pavilion, and then, he heard Wang Qiang shouting loudly outside the door of the Warm Pavilion: "Qiyu Sheng, the slave has an urgent military report!" ”

Chongzhen has been coveting Chen Yuanyuan for many days, and today he finally has the opportunity to get his wish, and he doesn't want to disrupt the situation again at this critical moment, so he can't help but say angrily: "At such a time, what emergency military situation can there be?" Let's play again tomorrow morning! ”

Wang Qiang didn't flinch, and said loudly outside: "Enlighten the emperor!" Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, Li Zicheng occupied Xi'an, killed King Fu, and the five provinces in the northwest and southwest were eroded!! ”

"What?!" Wang Qiang's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Chongzhen's head, and the desire in his body instantly disappeared! He turned his head to look outside the door, and then looked down at Chen Yuanyuan in front of him, he wanted to go out and was a little reluctant.

At this time, Wang Qiang shouted outside the door: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, and the emperor should deal with it urgently!" ”

Chongzhen was annoyed for a while, and said angrily: "Presumptuous, Wang Qiang, do you dare to resist the decree?" Come and fork Wang Qiang out. ”

Two guards outside the door stepped forward to grab Wang Qiang and dragged him out, Wang Qiang struggled hard, and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the road has been red and bad, the merchant has Daji, the Han has Diao Chan, whoever is stained is unlucky!" Your Majesty, if you want a beautiful woman, you don't want the country! ”

"If you want a beautiful woman, you don't want a country!" This sentence was like a thunderbolt striking Chongzhen's head, waking him up completely. Chongzhen staggered back a few steps, sat down on the couch, and shouted helplessly outside the door: "Wang Qiang, quickly report to the general." ”

"Yes!" Wang Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this, broke away from the guards who were pulling him, pushed the door into the warm pavilion, and saw Chen Yuanyuan kneeling on the ground at a glance, disheveled, and discolored.

Chongzhen silently looked at the military newspaper, which said that Li Zicheng's troops launched continuous attacks in the Huaiqing and Zhangde areas, and completely annihilated more than 30,000 people in the Huaiqing garrison Jia Mingyu, and 20,000 people in the Zhangde garrison Ruan Chongde surrendered to Li Zicheng after being besieged west of Zhangde, so the gateway between Henan and Shanxi and Shaanxi was opened, and the siege of the bandits by the official army was completely broken. Li Zicheng personally waved his army north to cross the Yellow River into Shanxi, and at the same time, Liu Zongmin, the general of the bandits, commanded all the men and horses to enter Shaanxi and conquer Xi'an. At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong, who had surrendered to the imperial court two years ago, took advantage of the relaxation of the surveillance of the official army to revolt in Gucheng and respond to Li Zicheng. These two pieces of news are terrible, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers on the northwest front lasted several years, and they spent tens of millions of taels, and finally forced Zhang Xianzhong to surrender and trapped Li Zicheng, and now all these achievements have come to naught in an instant.

The news in the military newspaper made Chongzhen dumbfounded, he couldn't understand how the situation would change so quickly, half a year ago the Qing army invaded, several provinces in the north suffered military disasters, and now the northwest is in chaos again. One ordeal after another followed, without giving him the slightest chance to breathe and recuperate. When he saw that the time of receipt of the military newspaper was in the afternoon, he asked angrily: "This military newspaper has arrived a long time ago, why did it not come until now?!" ”

Wang Qiang intended to block Chongzhen, so he added fuel and vinegar and said: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid just went to the duty room of the cabinet to inspect, and when I saw this military report, I felt that the matter was very important, and I should immediately report it to the saint." But the minister on duty said that this military report would arrive in the afternoon, but when it was sent to the south study, the emperor had already returned to the court. The slave maid asked at that time: Why don't you send such an important matter to the inner palace to report to the emperor? They said that now the emperor is not like before, as if he does not pay much attention to the government, but is more interested in singing and dancing. Now it is sent to the palace and disturbs the emperor's Yaxing, I am afraid that something is wrong, they also said, and said------"

"What else do they say? Speak! Chongzhen asked angrily.

Wang Qiang thought that he should take the opportunity to completely dispel Chongzhen's thoughts about Chen Yuanyuan, so he said: "What else did they say about Emperor Tang Ming, Yang Guifei or something, saying that the emperor loves beauty and does not love the country, and the slave maid is in a hurry to send you the military report, and I don't understand it very well." ”

Bang! Chongzhen slapped the edge of the bed angrily, he didn't expect that now the courtiers would actually compare him to the extravagant Tang Ming Emperor. After thinking about it, since I saw this Chen Yuanyuan, I was fascinated by this her, and I really didn't put my mind on court politics, nor did I work overtime to deal with court affairs, I was so abnormal, no wonder the courtiers looked at me like this. I have only been slack off for a short period of ten days, and the situation in the northwest has undergone such a great change, is this a warning from God to me? He raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Yuanyuan, and when he saw where she was still kneeling, he thought angrily in his heart: "It's this demon girl who actually confused me so much that she didn't belong to her mind, so that she neglected the government, scattered the courtiers, and attracted the punishment of heaven!" He said viciously: "Sure enough, it's a red face and trouble!" Tomorrow I will drive this woman out of the palace, I will never see her again! ”

"Yes." Wang Qiang was secretly happy in his heart.

Chongzhen Teng got up, walked out of the warm pavilion quickly, and said as he walked: "Start driving the south study!" The decree is that all the cabinet ministers will immediately come to the south study room for a meeting! ”

Wang Qiang followed closely behind Chongzhen, and when he was about to go out, he glanced back at Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan was also looking up, and he saw shock, grievance, resentment and unwillingness in Chen Yuanyuan's eyes.
