Chapter 4O2: Urgent Calling (Ask for Subscriptions, Recommendations, Collections)
Looking at the Ming army rushing on the shore, thinking of Shen Yourong's nearly 70 years old, Zhu Youzhen's heart was full of bad expectations.
Unlike Zhu Youzhen, watching the Ming army approach, Shen Shouyao stood straight on the side of the ship. Shen Shouyao held his chest high, and he wanted to show his most spiritual side.
Confirming that there were only 7 or 8 Ming troops, Shen Shouyao commanded the sailors to put down the springboard.
The Ming army ran to the ship, and the Ming army led by him raised his head and looked at Shen Shouyao carefully. After confirming that it was Shen Shouyao in front of him, Ming Jun clasped his hands into fists and said in a deep voice: "Under the order of Futai, the general Yang Du of the Governor pacesetter, I have something important to see, I don't know if I can get on the boat and see it?" ”
Hearing what Yang Du said, Shen Shouyao instinctively wanted to look back at Zhu Youzhen. With a turn of thought, Shen Shouyao stood firmly on the side of the ship, not moving.
"Call them up."
Yang Du's request was indeed heard on the ship. After only a moment's pause, Chu Tianxing's voice came from behind Shen Shouyao.
"Please."
Holding his hands in return, Shen Shouyao turned sideways to get out of the way of the springboard and motioned for Yang Du to get on the boat.
"You are waiting here."
Yang Du whispered to the Ming army behind him, adjusted his clothes, and then stepped onto the springboard.
Walking on the deck, seeing Zhu Youzhen, who was half-covered by Chu Tianxing, Yang Du immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.
After saluting, Yang Dufang took out an envelope from his arms and respectfully presented it with both hands: "The villain Yang Du sees His Royal Highness King Xin." The villain was ordered by Yuan Futai to have confidential documents to offer. ”
In the sea breeze, Yang Du's voice was deliberately low, which was a little low.
Chu Tianxing waved his hand, and a guard stepped forward to take the envelope, turned around and handed it to Chu Tianxing.
Chu Tianxing looked at the envelope several times, and carefully distinguished the fire paint seal on the envelope before he put the letter in front of Zhu Youzhen.
"Your Highness, this letter does have the seal of Denglai Yuan Futai. This person is indeed a personal guard by Yuan Futai's side, and he has some impressions of him. ”
While presenting the documents, Chu Tianxing also confirmed the authenticity of the person to Zhu Youzhen in a low voice.
Reaching out to take the letter, Zhu Youzhen's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
These Ming soldiers didn't come to find Shen Shouyao, they turned out to be sent by Yuan Keli to make a special trip to find him. He had only been away from Dengzhou for a total of 3 days, what happened that would make Yuan Keli so impatient.
Could it be that the Ming army suffered another big defeat in Liaodong, and Yuan Keli even lost my 4 treasure ships?
Zhu Youzhen speculated wildly in his heart, and tore open Yuan Keli's secret letter with his hand.
There was only a thin piece of paper in the envelope.
Slowly unfolding the letterhead, Zhu Youzhen found that the afterglow of the setting sun had completely dissipated at some point, and he could no longer distinguish the words on the letterhead with the existing light.
Before the word 'palm lamp' was spoken, the firelight had already shone from the side of Zhu Youzhen's body, and Gao Qiqian had already raised the torch with a very eye-catching eye.
Under the dim light of the torch, Zhu Youzhen could see the words on the letterhead at a glance. On a huge piece of letterhead, the six big cursive characters of 'The Holy Lord's urgent call, return quickly' seemed so dazzling.
The letterhead written by Yuan Keli is simple and unusual. There is no explanation for the entire letterhead except these six words. Because of this, looking at the only six cursive scripts, Zhu Youzhen's heart couldn't help but begin to sink.
Zhu Youzhen believed that Yuan Keli should have sent more than just this group of messengers to find him. The same messenger should be found elsewhere. Yuan Keli was so anxious that he didn't want to wait for a few more days, so he directly sent a messenger to look for him, something terrible must have happened.
The saint is urgently called, and the reason is not written, so it should be that something happened in the capital.
What will happen?
Zhu Youzhen's face was gloomy, and he began to desperately rummage through the memories of his previous life.
In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, what major events happened in the capital of the Ming Dynasty?
At this moment, Zhu Youzhen was really envious of the other traversers. Look at people's heads, no matter what happened in history, no matter how big or small, people can remember it clearly.
Compared with others, he Zhu Youzhen is too embarrassing for the traverser.
After rummaging in his mind for a long time, Zhu Youzhen didn't remember what happened in the sixth year of the Apocalypse. The only thing he had the impression was that the explosion at Wang Gongchang seemed to have occurred in the sixth year of the Apocalypse.
However, Zhu Youzhen vaguely remembered that the explosion at Wang Gongchang seemed to have occurred in June of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and now it is only early April, and the time is completely wrong.
What's more, under the influence of Zhu Youzhen, the firearms workshop of Wang Gong's factory has been moved to Shibei Hutong, and Wang Gong's factory now only has a gunpowder workshop and gunpowder stock. After Zhu Youzhen's special reminder, Wang Gong's factory also greatly strengthened the management of gunpowder, and it should not be possible to have another explosion accident.
Yes, history has changed, where can I guess where to go?
Suddenly realizing that history has now deviated from its original direction, Zhu Youzhen was both happy and frightened in his heart.
Happy because history has changed, and he, Zhu Youzhen, will no longer be destined to become Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
And the panic is also because history has changed, and he, Zhu Youzhen, has lost his foresight of historical events. His path will be as impenetrable as everyone else's.
From now on, the future is unpredictable!
Raising his eyes, Zhu Youzhen looked at Yang Du who was kneeling in front of him, first cleaned up his disordered thoughts, and then stabilized his emotions before he spoke as smoothly as possible: "Get up." Your name is Yang Du, what else does Yuan Futai have to explain? ”
"Your Highness."
Hearing Zhu Youzhen's voice, Yang Du bowed respectfully again before slowly standing up.
"Your Highness, Futai asked the villain to deliver documents to His Highness in the name of looking for Shen Jiangzong. Futai once explained that after the documents were delivered, the villain and several people listened to His Royal Highness's arrangement. ”
"Oh, then Yang Du, you stay on the boat, and you can arrange the others."
After arranging Yang Du and pondering for a while, Zhu Youzhen raised his voice and asked, "Xiao Shen, if we rush back to Dengzhou overnight, is there any problem?" ”
"No problem."
After quickly going through all the personnel and materials on the ship, Shen Shouyao assured loudly with confidence.
"Okay, let's go back to Dengzhou."
At the sound of the order, the ship quickly retracted its gangplank, untied its cables, and raised its torches to all parts of the hull. At the bow and stern of the most important ship, a large number of torches were gathered, illuminating the sea at the bow and stern of the ship.
Shen Shouyao stood on the bow of the ship and carefully instructed the sea ship to slowly sail out of the bay against the night.
The night voyage on the bay is also a considerable test for Shen Shouyao.
At night, the field of view is limited. Under this dim line of sight, even if Shen Shouyao could guarantee not to hit other ships, he didn't dare to guarantee that other ships would not hit them by mistake.
This bay night cruise, except for low speed and caution, there is really no other shortcut.
If only there was a searchlight on this ship.
Looking at the sea ship moving at the speed of the turtle in the night, Zhu Youzhen's heart was full of reverie.
