Chapter 105: See the driver
He Kai trembled and grabbed the white silk hanging on the beam, thinking back to his life, he couldn't help but burst into tears, listening to the sound of swords and guns hitting outside getting closer and closer, He Kai gritted his teeth and shouted: "Your Majesty, the ministers will go first, and then accompany the emperor in the next life and serve our emperor." β
After speaking, he drilled his neck into the trap made by Bai Aya, and his heel left the stool, and his toes pulled the stool backwards, and the whole person shook in the air, he felt a strong feeling of suffocation coming at him, his eyes began to become hazy, he wanted to struggle, but he felt that his hands were weak.
The bones on his neck made a clicking sound similar to breaking, He Kai was anxious and lamented, but there was no way, suicide was not a good choice, if he had a choice, he would rather surrender, but seeing Zhu Yujian by his side, he always had a feeling of shame for him, so he had to take this road.
Zhu Yujian and He Kai left the stool one after the other, but there were people next to Zhu Yujian, his wife, his queen and son, and even two guards who remained until death, which were the two royal family members who followed him since childhood.
"Masterβ" His queen cried like a tearful man, and his son also cried, his little hands clutching the corners of his mother's clothes.
Zhu Yujian was already dangling in the air, suddenly.
"Frame" twice, two war horses rushed into the lobby, "It's not good, Yang Yangyang shot an arrow and broke Bai Aya, I hope it's still too late." β
A terrible roar, "Your Majestyβ"
"Bell, bell, bellβ"
"Assemble the teams - line up horizontally, guns on the shoulders, turn to the right, start walking-"
When a group of firecrackers gathered and drove into the stockade, the cavalry that gathered from all directions to pursue the enemy was also lined up on one side, grasping the reins one by one, adjusting the war horses that had just run for a while, patting them on the neck, and saying comforting words with gentle words and war horses, as if the war horses were their brothers, their women, the war horses were appeased by them, swinging from left to right, scurrying up and down, and becoming stable, and the whole open space under the stockade, I only heard the sound of the war horse's snort, and hot air erupted from the black and gray nostrils of the war horse, quickly turning into white mist and dissipating.
A cavalry commander and a cavalry commander, the two got together, and the commander handed a cigarette without a filter to the commander, and said, "Old Wu, how many people died in your team?" β
Elder Wu took the yellow and thick cigarette wrapped in rough straw paper without a filter, sniffed it under his nose, and then quickly took out a slender bamboo-like texture from the shoulder bag on his waist, pulled out the copper cap on it, and brought it to his mouth to blow violently in the wind, and a little spark the size of a soybean appeared on it, he quickly put the spark into the cigarette that Shi Chang held in his mouth, Shi Chang took two puffs hard, and a small flame burst out of the cigarette, and then lit it.
lit a cigarette, at this time, Wu Chang had gently put the copper cap on the "bamboo", touched it with his hand, and when he felt that the spark inside was extinguished, he carefully put it in the satchel.
Raised his head and pinched the cigarette from Shi Chang's mouth, leaned into the cigarette butt he was holding in his mouth, ignited it vigorously, took two puffs, handed the cigarette to Shi Chang, and then raised his head, squinted his eyes irritated by the smoke of the cigarette, and watched the infantry and firecrackers escort the prisoners, gather the war horses and come back, and said to Shi Chang: "One died, two were injured, overall, it's nothing, those people were scared, the dead one was still too careless, rushed to the wall, and was plotted with a spear,"
He reached out and pinched the cigarette in his mouth, flicked it his fingers, and then said leisurely, "That unlucky child." β
A cavalry guard of a thousand households rushed out and shouted: "Lord Governor has an order, collect the prisoners, clean up the battlefield, except for the sentry cavalry, everyone enters the stockade to rest for a cup of tea." β
In the lobby of the village, He Kai, who had just recovered from his recovery, stroked his strangled neck with his hand, while sighing at the wonder of life and death, and chatting with Su Guansheng without a match.
In terms of talent and qualifications, he is far better than Su Guansheng, but in terms of daring to do and dare to be, he sighs that he is not as good as this one, under Su Guansheng's seemingly modest appearance, he shows a proud look of a thousand rescues, He Kai doesn't have to think about it, he can also see through Su Guansheng's psychological activities at the moment, but he can only sigh in addition to sighing.
And in the back hall, in the bedroom, Zhang Qiang held a helmet in one hand and a waist knife in the other, looking at the graceful woman serving Zhu Yujian and Xia Ginseng Soup, he couldn't help but sigh, this is good to be the emperor, this person is rich, a small cottage, there are ginseng soup, white fungus, abalone, these good things he had only heard of in his previous life, but he had not eaten.
He glanced at Zhu Yujian who was lying on the bed and looked at Zhu Yujian on the bed with concern, but he didn't even glance at this little Xiao Yuanwai at all.
It seems that people only have the emperor in their eyes, and he, who has a heavy army in his hands, and now comes to rescue Zhu Yujian, the hero of the fallen emperor, is left out in the cold.
At the door of the bedroom, Zhang Qiang's personal guard cavalry, chasers, and four cavalrymen controlled the entire courtyard, standing with guns, Yang Yangyang pressed the saber, circled in the courtyard, looked up at the bedroom door from time to time, and looked at the well platform covered with small stone slabs in the middle of the courtyard.
The young and handsome face didn't look too attentive, and occasionally when he looked up, he found a slightly delicate woman's face, flashing past the courtyard gate, Yang Yangyang's eyes widened violently, his heartbeat was abrupt, and he praised in his heart: "What a beautiful beauty." β
He glanced at the bedroom door, the guard was still on duty, and he seemed to be conscientious, and from this moment, he seemed even more absent-minded.
In the bedroom, Zhu Yujian finally calmed down, and recovered from the anger, despair, and fear of death from being surrounded and betrayed.
He said to Zhang Qiang a little weakly: "Zhang Aiqing, you can come to the rescue in time, I am really pleased, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Aiqing has brought?" β
Zhang Qiang bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, there are 10,000 soldiers who can fight, 35,000 auxiliary soldiers, a total of 50,000 troops. β
Zhu Yujian was excited and wanted to get up immediately, but the queen immediately pressed him, "Your Majesty, you have just been rescued, you should lie down in peace, and let Zhang Aiqing and Master Su deal with the rest." β
Zhang Qiang continued the queen's words and said: "Your Majesty, you have to dress up and pack up immediately, and retreat with Weichen, this time Weichen came with thousands of soldiers and horses to meet him, and the army is still in Pingnan County, in addition, it has been reported that Zhang Cunzhe, the governor of Qing Tartars, led more than 30,000 Qing soldiers from Quzhou Mansion to the south, and has conquered many counties in a row, and the army is approaching Pingnan County, and Li Chengdong is also in Quanzhou. Retreat to the territory of Weichen and take advantage of the favorable terrain to deal with the enemy army. β
The queen was anxious, "How can this be good?" β
Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "The queen doesn't have to panic, everything is handled by Weichen, as long as we return to the middle of the army, we can fight with the enemy, at this time, we should get up quickly, otherwise if the enemy is encountered, Weichen does not dare to guarantee that the emperor can escape from the enemy with thousands of soldiers and horses." β
"Xiao Aiqing, clean up immediately, and I'll hurry back to his army with Zhang Aiqing."
