After having lunch at Jiehe Pass, when he set off again in the afternoon, Li Zicheng had already adjusted the formation, the two hundred households of the 6,000th household, changed into the Mingguang armor of the auxiliary soldiers, as the front army, driving in the forefront of the team, followed by the gunners of the other three hundred households, Qiu Shike's Lanzhou Wei in the center, and then Li Zicheng and his own soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers of the 6,000th household escorted the grain and grass baggage, or the rear of the army.

Su Wang Zhu Zhihong, as the next important chess piece, has always been by Li Zicheng's side.

By dusk, the army was only ten miles away from Lintao Mansion, Li Zicheng stopped marching, but asked Zhu Zhihong and Ma Youshui to come forward, "Lord, this time Lintao Mansion, please ask the prince!" ”

Zhu Zhihong no longer has the majesty and bearing of the prince, he immediately bowed his hand, "Don't worry, this king will act according to the requirements of the governor." ”

Li Zicheng nodded with a smile, and nodded to Ma Youshui, asking him to be careful.

Zhu Zhihong and Ma Youshui took two gunmen from 100 households to Lintao Mansion, but Li Zicheng did not set up camp, but let the soldiers hide on the slopes on both sides to rest, and took advantage of their free time to settle dinner first.

Su Wangye Zhu Zhihong rode a tall horse, walking at the front of the team, Ma Youshui pretended to be the head of the guard, also riding a horse, closely following behind him, two soldiers of hundreds of households, hanging their rifles on their right shoulders, lined up in two columns, trotting to keep up with the pace.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the team hurried to Lintao Mansion.

The city gate had not yet been closed, but the soldiers defending the city suddenly saw a group of men and horses rushing towards the city and hurriedly closed the city gate.

Zhu Zhihong came to the north city gate, saw that the city gate had been closed, couldn't help frowning, glanced at Ma Youshui, Ma Youshui understood, and immediately asked a soldier to go to the city, the soldier shouted loudly: "Blind your dog eyes, Su Wang Ye has arrived, you dare to close the city gate, do you want to let the prince spend the night outside the city?" ”

Hearing that it was Prince Su, the defenders in the city did not dare to scold back, so they rubbed their eyes and looked down at the city, and it was indeed the banner of King Su, but the sky was already dark, blurry, and they couldn't see it really, so they asked: "Are you really the people of King Su?" ”

"Not only the people of Prince Su, but even Prince Su is also here!" The soldiers under the city shouted: "If you don't open the door again, you will let your head fall to the ground when you enter the city!" ”

The leader of the soldiers guarding the city didn't dare to hold it up, so he asked people to fly to report to the lord, and on the other hand, he arched his hand to the city and said: "It turns out that it is really the person of Su Wangye, and the villain does not know that Su Wangye has arrived, and he hopes that his brother will say a few kind words in front of Su Wangye...... Su Wangye has always been in Lanzhou, why did he come to Lintao tonight? ”

"The matter of Prince Su is also something you can ask?" The soldiers under the city were impatient, and scolded and said: "If you grind again, don't care what Prince Su is here for, your dog's head will not be protected." ”

The leader just wanted to delay the time and wait for the decision of the adults, but the city was pressed tightly, and he scolded one by one, it is estimated that it is really the arrival of the prince Su, although he can barely cope with it, a cold sweat has broken out on his back.

But firstly, he did not know Su Wangye, and secondly, it was his duty to guard the land, in case he recognized the wrong person and the city gate was deceived into opening, it was a crime of killing his head, so he said carefully: "Su Wangye, brothers, this time you entered the palace, you brought hundreds of guards, have you ever received an order from my lord?" ”

"Hand oracle? The prince is here, what more do you want? The soldiers under the city suddenly realized, "You grind and chirp, it turns out that you don't want the prince to enter the city?" Hello big bold! ”

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare," the leader of the garrison was so frightened that he almost kowtowed, "how dare the villain prevent the prince from entering the city?" It's just that the villain's military order is in his body, and he can't help but ...... If it is known by the adults, the villain's dog life will be gone, and I hope that the brother will forgive me, and the adults of my family will come later, if the brothers have anything to say, just say ...... to the adults of my family."

"Who are you to dare to keep the prince out of the city?" Ma Youshui feigned anger and shouted at the soldiers: "Brothers, release arrows and shoot these dog minions with eyes and beads!" ”

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps on the top of the city, and a man shouted loudly on the top of the city: "Wait! ”

Ma Youshui signaled the soldiers not to release arrows for the time being, in fact, the soldiers of the 600th household are not good at bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows they carry are not abundant, just to dress up the guards of the palace, and barely meet the scene.

A smiling face appeared on the head of the city, and he arched his hand to the city and said, "Is King Su here?" ”

"This king is here!" Zhu Zhihong took two steps forward, walked out of the crowd, and said angrily: "You are Tao Zhiyong?" ”

"It's a subordinate!" Tao Zhiyong arched his hand to Zhu Zhihong and said, "My subordinates knock to see the prince!" The subordinates are in armor, and the subordinates cannot be fully saluted! ”

"That's it!" Prince Su waved his hand, "Hurry up and open the city gate and let this king enter the city!" ”

Tao Zhiyong did not open the city, but said carefully: "The prince has never left the fiefdom, why did he come to Lintao today, seeing that the sky is about to get dark......"

Zhu Zhihong was furious, panting, and shouted: "Tao Zhiyong, you brute, the Lu family is a distant relative of the princess, how dare you ...... If you don't wait until the evening, do you want to make this a storm in the city? Brutes, waste, see if I don't pick up this dog skin of yours......"

Tao Zhiyong was stunned for a while, when he married the Lu family, although he also used strength, but he never heard that the Lu family was a relative of the princess, and he knew that the Lu family had something to do with the palace, and he didn't dare to take the Lu family into the palace with his eight guts.

This Lu family, why has he never said that he is related to the palace? Is it deliberately trying to hide yourself?

He was puzzled in his heart, but now that Prince Su was in front of him, although the city was a little dim, the momentum of the prince was still there, and there should be no mistake.

It doesn't matter if he robbed the Lu clan by himself, so it didn't matter to the soldiers to know it, how could he be known by the prince? And it's a distant relative of the princess, isn't that riding on the head of the prince?

The more Tao Zhiyong thought about it, the more afraid he became, the prince came to Xingshi this time to ask about the crime, how to deal with himself?

Suddenly, a spark flashed in his heart, the prince came in the dark this time, but he didn't want to make a noise, did he want to make a big deal small? Lu has been ...... by himself Even if she chopped herself, she couldn't return to her original state, could it be that the prince had already recognized it?

If the prince can not pursue himself, he will spend some silver......

Thinking of this, Tao Zhiyong hurriedly retreated from the soldiers around him, and his body was almost bent at ninety degrees, "Lord Wang, subordinates...... The subordinates really don't know...... The subordinates first apologized to the prince......"

"Brute, are you going to make the city stormy? Don't open the gates yet? ”

Tao Zhiyong saw that Zhu Zhihong was only one or two hundred soldiers around him, and at this time he was on his own territory, listening to the meaning of the prince, and he also didn't want others to know about it, and was willing to settle the knot in private.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The prince is angry, and his subordinates will open the city!" While speaking, he asked the soldiers to open the city gate and personally welcome them out of the city, and when he saw Zhu Zhihong, he immediately bowed to the ground, "Subordinate...... The subordinates ask the prince for guilt! ”

Ma Youshui moved two steps forward, but stopped and looked at Zhu Zhihong.

Zhu Zhihong shook his wide sleeves and shouted: "Take it!" "Where is the tone of discussion?

Tao Zhiyong was startled, and when he was about to escape, the soldiers on both sides had already stepped forward in unison, pressed him to the ground, and tied him with ropes.

If the prince is willing to reconcile with himself, how can he bind himself? He knew that things were not as simple as he imagined, so he was so anxious that he shouted: "Lord Wang, it's all a misunderstanding...... The subordinates knew that they offended the prince...... Subordinate admits punishment ......"

"Admit punishment? Do you think you'll be fine if you admit punishment? Zhu Zhihong was still angry, and pointed at Tao Zhiyong's nose with his hand, "You, a brute, dare to do such a rebellious thing, is there still this king in your eyes?" ”

"Lord Wang, subordinates know their mistakes......"

"Wrongdoing? When you see this king, you won't even open the city gate, do you still know that you are wrong? Zhu Zhihong pointed at the soldiers beside Tao Zhiyong with his hand, and said: "These soldiers, none of them have a good thing, they dare to let this king drink the northwest wind outside the city, and they will all be taken down by me!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Ma Youshui's heart is happy, this prince really wants to start a temper, and he really looks good! While directing the soldiers to tie up the defenders who left the city, he secretly asked his brothers to seize the city gate and solve the soldiers at the city gate.

All the soldiers who dared to resist were wiped on the neck with a knife in the dark, Zhu Zhihong was angry, and even Tao Zhiyong nodded and admitted his mistake, where can the soldiers figure out the corners and corners of this? In a daze, he became a prisoner of war of the Mandate of Heaven.

Ma Youshui first asked his brothers to stuff cotton cloth into Tao Zhiyong's mouth to prevent him from taking risks in a hurry, and then said to the soldiers occupying the city: "Light the fire and notify the governor!" ”

"Yes, Senho-sama!" Two soldiers cooperated with each other, one pulling out the fireworks he was carrying from his arms, and the other twisting the fire fold and lighting the fireworks.

"Tom"!

A bright blue light shot straight into the sky, and a brilliant spark opened up above the city gate, and the brief firelight made Tao Zhiyong seem to understand something, and he twisted desperately, trying to spit out the cotton cloth in his mouth.

Ma Youshui slashed at his neck on the right side of the neck with a palm knife, "I have been captured, and I dare to be dishonest!" ”

Tao Zhiyong rolled his eyes, his body slowly collapsed, and the person was unconscious.

He Xiaomi, who was waiting anxiously in the distance, suddenly saw the sky-high fire in front of him, and was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Metropolitan Governor, Ma Qianhu and they have succeeded!" ”

Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said: "Xiaomi, what's the hurry, even if there is water and can't take the city gate smoothly, we can also storm it, there is only one guard soldier in Lintao City," he stroked his chin with his hand, thoughtfully, and said: "This Zhu Zhihong, this time he really made a meritorious contribution to the Heavenly Mandate Army, and it will really be difficult to deal with it in the future!" ”

He Xiaomi was already impatient, what did he care about Zhu Zhihong, "Metropolitan Governor, what should I do now?" Shall we go into the city? ”

"Naturally, you want to enter the city, do you want to spend the night in this valley?" Li Zicheng gathered his mind, turned over on the war horse, and said, "Order, rush to Lintao Mansion immediately!" ”
