Chapter 43: I'm Back

Wang Chengen followed the sound and looked over and found that a head appeared from among the homeless, and when everyone was lying on their stomachs, this kneeling one was very conspicuous.

This person just suddenly saw Wang Chengen, and shouted out excitedly, and suddenly realized that he was in such a conspicuous position, and hurriedly lay on the ground, trembling.

Wang Chengen walked over slowly, stood in front of him for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while suddenly said:

"Hehe, who did I think it was, it turned out to be Grandpa Cao, tsk, no wonder I just felt that this voice was so familiar, Grandpa Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

The last sentence, Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and said it, for Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen hated him more than Zhu Youzhen, everyone is a eunuch, and they are all Zhu Youzhen's house slaves, if Zhu Youzhen hadn't appreciated him at the beginning, where did he come from such a status, he would have died in that corner of the palace for a long time.

But how did he treat his master, he actually took refuge in Li Zicheng and opened the door for Li Zicheng, if it weren't for Li Yi's timely arrival, he and Zhu Youzhen would now be two corpses hanging on the coal mountain.

"Princess, don't waste time, if we have a grudge, we will slowly report it in the future, and the most important thing now should be to catch Li Zicheng as the culprit."

Meng Tian didn't want to delay time, he just wanted to catch Li Zicheng as soon as possible to reassure himself.

"Okay, then I'll listen to General Meng, but can General Meng send a few people to take a good look at this white-eyed wolf, I want to wait for the emperor to come and hand him over to the emperor to vent his anger."

"Absolutely."

Meng Tian waved his hand, and several people immediately came over to tie up Cao Huachun, and at the same time stuffed a rag in his mouth, afraid that he would bite his tongue and kill himself.

One last glance at Cao Huachun, who was tied into a dumpling, Wang Chengen smiled, maybe he should be a little happier when the emperor comes back to see this gift.

Wang Chengen took Meng Tian all the way to the palace where Zhu Youzhen lived before, searched carefully, and found that the person was no longer there, and also searched the surrounding palaces, and found that there was no Li Zicheng, so he casually arrested a palace maid and asked.

"Prince, Emperor........ The thief Li Zicheng slipped out the back door just now, and he also emptied the treasury with several carriages. ”

When Meng Tian heard this, he didn't continue to stay in the palace, and hurried forward with people to catch up, Wang Chengen's gift to Zhu Youzhen had been caught, and the gift he gave to His Majesty was about to run away.

.............

"Your Majesty, why don't you lose a few carriages, our speed is too slow now."

"No, these wagons are full of treasures, and aren't we about to leave the city? When the time comes, we will be safe in the wilderness. ”

Li Zicheng was reluctant to throw away the money at all, and he was indifferent to Niu Jinxing's persuasion.

When he came to the city gate, Li Zicheng had already arranged for someone to pick him up here, they changed their clothes, dressed themselves up as an ordinary fugitive rich man, and then hid in the fleeing crowd.

When he was about to leave the city gate, Li Zicheng glanced at the Daming Palace and sighed, he still had the idea that he could fight back, so he didn't set fire to the capital like in history.

"Let's go, Your Majesty, it won't be long before we'll be back."

"Well, let's go."

A group of people drove the wagon not too fast or too slow, all so that their ranks would be inconspicuous among the refugees.

After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped, Li Zicheng was startled, and hurriedly asked the coachman,

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, someone in front of me checked and refused to let you pass, saying that you can't leave until tomorrow."

"How can this be, is it that the heavens are going to kill me?"

Li Zicheng's face was pale, and he sat paralyzed in the carriage, and couldn't help but think back to his life.

My life is also a wonderful life, I should enjoy it, I should get the glory, I may have done a lot of evil, but I have also done a lot of good things, but suddenly all of this is gone, I think about it is still very unwilling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Lifting the curtain, Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin both appeared in front of Li Zicheng, seeing Li Zicheng's gray face, Niu Jinxing hurriedly went over and pulled it,

"Your Majesty, cheer up, we can continue to run, let's take the path on the side and quietly bypass."

"Really?"

Faced with a glimmer of life, Li Zicheng showed great desire.

"Try it to find out, Your Majesty, are we just sitting still?"

"Okay, try, let's try."

Cheering up, Li Zicheng asked the coachman to follow Niu Jinxing's carriage and quietly slipped away from the side of the refugee team.

"General, the scout is here, a convoy has just slipped away."

"Yo, take the bait, go, leave 2,000 people here, and the other 3,000 people follow me."

Meng Yi listened to the sound of artillery fire in front of him while waiting here, but he could only wait here, after waiting for so long, the big fish really took the bait, and it seemed that he had not waited in vain.

Meng Yi took 3,000 cavalry, let the scouts who came back to report the news lead the way, and rushed forward to arrest people with interest.

Li Zicheng's convoy drove in fear for a while, and found that there was indeed no one, and as soon as he relaxed, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind.

"The carriage ahead, stop, hurry, stop and check."

Hearing the shout, Li Zicheng hurriedly shouted,

"Quick, throw the silver on the car, remember not to throw it in a pile, sprinkle it while running, hurry."

At this critical juncture, Li Zicheng can't care about the silver or not, and if he dies, how much silver is fake.

Hearing Li Zicheng's order, the guards guarding the silver carriage hurriedly opened the box and sprinkled the silver on the carriage all over the place.

Not to mention, at this critical juncture, Li Zicheng did come up with a clever idea, throwing away the silver, since the speed of the carriage was accelerated, and if the army behind was greedy, it would delay them to come down and pick up the money.

It's a pity, Li Zicheng encountered the Qin army, not that the Qin army was not greedy, they were also greedy, greedy for rewards, greedy for military merits, but those were all things that violated military discipline under the permission of the Qin law, but no one dared to do it, the consequences were too serious.

Seeing that the carriage in front of him began to throw silver, Meng Yi immediately understood that he had not caught the wrong person, and shouted on the spot,

"Quick, speed up for me to catch him, whoever catches me will give him credit, and when the time comes, let His Majesty give him a promotion, glory and wealth, right in front of me, rush!"

Hearing Meng Yi's promise, this group of soldiers looked at the carriage in front of them with red eyes, compared to the silver on the ground, the front was full of glory and wealth!

....................

"I'm finally back."

Looking at the capital in front of him, Zhu Youzhen's eyes revealed not nostalgia, but painful remorse and monstrous hatred, because in this city, his family was ruined, and everything he had was taken away here, but now, there are many enemies in this city waiting for him to come and deal with them.

"It seems that Meng Tian's speed is good, but unfortunately, the widow didn't see it with his own eyes at the moment when the city was broken."

Glancing at the Beijing city in front of him, Ying Zheng didn't feel much, he had already counted countless broken cities in his life, this was not the first, and he believed that this would not be the last.

"Let's go, enter the city, the widow can't wait to see what gifts Meng Tian has prepared for the widow."

Let the army of the Great Song Dynasty wait outside the city, and Yingzheng strode into the city gate with the 1,000 people sent by Meng Tian to meet him.
