Chapter 470: Coal Mountain

Coal Mountain, a stone's throw outside the imperial city, Mao Wenlong has quietly settled here since half a month ago. He didn't do anything after he arrived, and he just walked around the royal park in this capital every day, as if he was looking for something?

None of the people who followed knew what Mao Wenlong was looking for? When he asked Mao Wenlong, he didn't give an answer, but just let all the guards follow quietly. Since Mao Wenlong refused to say it, these guards couldn't force Mao Wenlong to say it, so they naturally had to follow him silently and watch Mao Wenlong wander around on this hill for several days.

A few days later, Mao Wenlong finally stopped under a towering ancient pine on the top of the mountain, standing here can overlook the entire imperial city, which is definitely a good place to enjoy the scenery.

"Find your own place to hide, and you are not allowed to disturb anyone who comes up the mountain without my orders." Mao Wenlong gave orders to the guards.

The guards were confused and didn't understand what Mao Wenlong's intentions were, but no one dared to disobey them, so they had to follow Mao Wenlong's instructions and find a place to hide.

A day or two passed, and the mountain was still calm, but the imperial city below the mountain could see the sound of killing shaking the sky. The guards on the mountain already understood that it was Li Zicheng who had attacked the Jingshi. They all began to worry that Mao Wenlong would be in danger if he continued to stay here.

Several guards have asked Mao Wenlong to evacuate as soon as possible, but Mao Wenlong is very resolute and still wants to stay. Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, the guards could only be more careful in the following days, always vigilant about the situation in the imperial city under the mountain.

On the evening of the day the imperial city was breached by Li Zicheng, these guards soon discovered that someone was fleeing for their lives from the bottom of the mountain. The guards didn't dare to slack off, and quickly told Mao Wenlong the news, and Mao Wenlong was not surprised but overjoyed, he already knew that the person he was waiting for finally arrived as scheduled.

The people who went up the mountain were Chongzhen and Wu Chengen, as well as a few guards who escorted them all the way. Originally, there were more than 300 imperial guards to escort them, but unfortunately they fled here from the imperial city, and only these poor five of the more than 300 imperial guards remained.

The guards of the Dongjiang Army hidden in the shadows had already received a strict order from Mao Wenlong not to disturb these people who went up the mountain. The guards didn't dare to disobey Mao Wenlong's orders, so they could only stare in secret.

Chongzhen and Wu Chengen came to the top of the mountain smoothly, and several people happened to stop under this towering ancient pine tree.

"Your Majesty, you rest." Seeing that Chongzhen, who was out of breath, couldn't run anymore, Wu Chengen cleaned up a place for him to sit and rest on a stone.

Chongzhen didn't sit down to rest, as soon as he looked up, he saw the imperial city in the distance brightly lit, and he could faintly hear the earth-shattering killing sounds and exclamations in the imperial city along the breeze.

Looking at the imperial city, Chongzhen silently shed two lines of tears, so far, he has understood that the Ming Dynasty has completely died. What he had been most worried about all along, it happened, and he finally became a king of the dead country!

Chongzhen was both angry and helpless at the moment, thinking that he had been diligent and diligent all his life, and he could be said to be a model of diligence and honesty, and he had been an emperor for more than ten years, and he had never asked for sick leave. The requirements for family members and staff around him are very strict, and in order to reduce the financial burden, let his wife cook and weave.

Compared with the three emperors in front of him, Shenzong didn't go to work for thirty years, and several courtiers didn't see Shenzong until they retired. And Guangzong is an out-and-out nymphomaniac, who was on the throne for less than a month and died directly in bed. Xizong's carpentry and bricklayer skills are absolutely first-class, and his own work is all handed over to Wei Zhongxian.

is such a three emperors, none of them became the king of the dead country, why is it that he, a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, thrifty and maintains the country, has become the king of the dead country. The depression in his heart made Chongzhen breathless for a while, and after a violent cough, he spurted out a mouthful of old blood directly.

"Heavenly! Why? Why am I the king of the dead country? Chongzhen suddenly let out a sad cry at the sky.

"Your Majesty......" Wu Chengen and the five guards immediately knelt on the ground when they heard this.

"Yes, you are indeed a rare good emperor, there is no denying that. God has also given you many opportunities to revive the Ming Dynasty. But you have passed by it again and again. At the end of the day, you can only blame yourself! ”

Mao Wenlong appeared leisurely behind the ancient pine tree, looking at Chongzhen in front of him, he suddenly couldn't help but feel compassion.

"Protect the Emperor!" Wu Chengen suddenly saw that there was someone hiding behind the pine tree, and immediately exclaimed.

The five guards were quite loyal, and at this time they rushed forward without any hesitation to protect Chongzhen behind them.

However, Chongzhen did not have any panic, and death was not terrible for him at all. What scared him was that he was really unwilling to die like this, at least until he figured out why he had come to this point.

"Mao Wenlong?" Chongzhen vaguely recognized the person behind the pine tree by the faint moonlight, and it seemed to be Mao Wenlong.

"It's rare that the emperor still remembers me, it's really rare!" Mao Wenlong chuckled twice and took two steps forward.

"Stop!" The five imperial guards suddenly became nervous, and they had already drawn their swords to face each other.

At this time, dozens of Dongjiang Army guards had quietly appeared, and they surrounded Chongzhen and others in an instant.

Wu Chengen was immediately taken aback, but Chongzhen was still calm, and even pushed away the guards in front of him, looked at Mao Wenlong coldly and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Mao Wenlong chuckled: "Waiting for you here." ”

Chongzhen frowned: "Why do you know that I will come here?" ”

Mao Wenlong pretended to be mysterious and said: "I will come here, naturally someone told me." As for who it is, I won't tell you for the time being, but I heard that the emperor would hang himself here, so I came thousands of miles to take a look. ”

Chongzhen's face immediately changed after hearing this, indeed, he had already had the idea of committing suicide in his heart just now. And Mao Wenlong in front of him was able to know his thoughts one step ahead of him? Such a strange thing appeared in front of him, which made Chongzhen look at Mao Wenlong differently.

"Who the hell are you sacred?" No matter how much he didn't believe it, Chongzhen couldn't figure out what was going on in front of him at this moment.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm just an ordinary man in the red dust like the emperor."

Mao Wenlong explained lightly, and then changed the topic: "But this time, I still want to ask the emperor, are you really willing to commit suicide like this?" ”

The muscles on Chongzhen's face twitched fiercely, and before escaping from the imperial city, he personally raised his sword and killed several wives and children. In fact, he had the will to die early in the morning, and even a few children were killed by him, and the only one who let go was the daughter of Princess Taiping, who was full of martial arts.
