The breeze is light, the moon is high, and it is the time of beautiful scenery. After nightfall, the Jingshi is still very lively, and the people and craftsmen are busy in the streets and alleys. Li Zi became the fastest to repair the originally brand-new city of Jingshi, and did not hesitate to mobilize the people of the city.

This time, Li Zicheng gained a lot from the Beijing Division, and those court officials who were unwilling to surrender him were all confiscated from their homes and confiscated all their family property. And those who were willing to submit to him, Li Zicheng did not let go, and all the things that looked at him were taken away, leaving only some mansions and a little grain and grass for those officials who were willing to surrender to live.

Jingshi has always been the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, especially those officials of the Shilin Party, who are all very rich. After Li Zicheng counted his income, he was stunned.

At the same time, he couldn't understand why Chongzhen was so frugal before, putting so much wealth without using it, not taking it, and letting those Shilin Party officials hide in their homes and become moldy. However, Li Zicheng was also glad that Chongzhen did not reach out to take money from these officials like him, which gave him the opportunity to get this unexpected wealth.

It was rare to have such a peaceful night one day, Li Zicheng came to the wall of the imperial city with great interest, looked up at the prosperous Jingshi, and he was quite emotional for a while!

"King Chuang, now that the Jingshi has basically stabilized, why don't your subordinates leave tomorrow to invite the lady and the young master to the Jingshi to get together with King Chuang?" Li Ming, the newly promoted chief of the guard, suggested to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng nodded and smiled: "Indeed, now that the Jingshi has stabilized, it is time for the family to come over for a reunion." It's a pity that Chongzhen's whereabouts have not been found so far, let alone his life and death, which is the only regret in the king's heart. ”

Li Ming hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fists and said: "King Chuang, please rest assured, even if Chongzhen does not die as rumored, he will not be able to become a climate now, and King Chuang does not need to worry about this matter at all." ”

Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "What do you know, you can't know exactly Chongzhen's life and death for a day, and the throne of this king will not be stable for a day." This matter will be handed over to you to find out in the future, and you must not delay. ”

Li Ming didn't dare to slack off, and immediately received the order and said no more.

Li Zicheng was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand to let Li Ming retreat and rest first, he wanted to stay in the city and look at the scenery by himself.

Li Ming bowed down and left, leaving a few guards to guard in the distance.

Li Zicheng looked at the boundless night, and suddenly felt that the future was bleak. This time he successfully won the Jingshi, and he was very excited and happy at first. But afterwards, he began to suffer from gains and losses.

Chongzhen's disappearance has become a big trouble in his heart, as he said to Li Ming just now, Chongzhen's life and death cannot be determined for a day, and he can't sleep peacefully for a day.

Below the imperial city, in a dark corner, there were three people squatting, it was Adou and his two companions.

At this time, Adou looked up at Li Zicheng on the city tower in the darkness below, and two sharp gazes flashed in his eyes one after another. The last time he failed to assassinate Li Zicheng, he was injured, but he didn't expect that this time he had such a good opportunity, but he couldn't shoot Li Zicheng to death with one arrow.

Adou's eyes were a little unstable for a moment, but he quickly became firm again, and took an ordinary feather arrow from his accomplice's hand, with a letter tied to it. Adou did not hesitate to bend his bow and arrow.

"Whoosh!"

With a whistling wind, the sharp arrow shot accurately at the wall in front of Li Zicheng in the blink of an eye.

Li Zicheng was startled when he heard the sound, and when he realized that he had not been shot by the arrow, he immediately leaned over and probed Shenxia.

I saw three black shadows quickly leaving from under the city wall, so fast that Li Zicheng thought that he was dazzled and mistaken at first.

More than a dozen guards scattered around, who had already discovered the inappropriateness of Li Zicheng's side, immediately drew their knives and rushed over. Li Zicheng stopped them from shouting, and his eyes were fixed on the feathered arrow.

"Bring the arrow to the king." Li Zicheng saw the envelope above.

Immediately, a guard stepped forward to pull out the arrow, and the feather arrow went directly into the crack in the wall, and it was stuck, and the guard tried hard to pull it out after several strokes. In the end, in a hurry, he simply cut off the arrow with a knife and sent the arrow shaft and the envelope on it to Li Zicheng.

After Li Zicheng took it, he opened it without hesitation, and the letter was a self-proclaimed Huang Taiji. The meaning of the content made Li Zicheng furious, and in this letter, Huang Taiji was extremely provocative to ask Li Zicheng to surrender the Beijing division within ten days, otherwise he would have troops under the city.

"Why does Huang Taiji dare to be so arrogant?" Li Zicheng failed to understand that Huang Taiji was currently in Jiayuguan, and if he wanted to send troops to Beijing, he must first pass through Datong.

Wu Sangui is currently stationed there, Li Zicheng has always had no grievances with Wu Sangui, and now that the imperial court has perished, there is no reason why Wu Sangui will let Jin Bing pass by him easily.

From the words in this letter, Li Zicheng clearly felt the unquestionable tone from Huang Taiji.

Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment, and immediately did not dare to slack off, hurriedly returned to the imperial city, and then summoned several generals in the army. After handing the letter to everyone, Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "You all tell this king, what is going on?" ”

didn't dare to speak first, after Li Zicheng asked, there was a dead silence in the hall. In the end, it was Li Ming, the chief of the guard, who stood up and said: "King Chuang, this matter has not yet been ascertained, and it is difficult to conclude whether it is true or false." But this golden soldier must not be underestimated, or we will immediately send spies to Datong and Jiayuguan to investigate the truth and tell other things. ”

Li Zicheng paused for a moment before he said: "Then do as you say, and arrange for someone to go to investigate as soon as possible." Also, from today, no, from now on, the whole city will be cordoned off, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave. ”

"Subordinates obey." After Li Ming responded loudly, he and his two accomplices said goodbye and left.

Li Zicheng was inexplicably troubled in his heart, so he simply drove the rest of the people away, and then cleaned up by himself.

Jin Bing is definitely the enemy army he has the most scruples about at present, once Jin Bing suddenly comes to attack, Li Zicheng has no bottom in his heart, I don't know if he can rely on the current strength to hold this newly arrived Beijing Division?

Li Zicheng was worried here, and after Adou completed the task, he immediately took advantage of the cover of night to leave the Beijing Division as soon as possible. A Dou felt a pity that the great opportunity was missed like this, but he understood that at present, for Mao Wenlong, Li Zicheng could not die, otherwise Mao Wenlong's arrangement would be a bamboo basket for water.

Slipping out of Jingshi smoothly, Adou looked back at Jingshi, and then galloped towards Xi'an, he must inform Mao Wenlong that the task has been completed!
