Chapter 4 Loyalty and treachery are difficult to distinguish
Ma Mi was afraid that Wang Jian would make a mistake, so she had been pinning him down, playing more than ten moves, seeing Cao Huachun slowly recovering from the panic just now, the cold light flashed between her raised her hand, and her figure suddenly split into two, which was her ancestral stunt "Heavenly Wolf Change". The phantom on the left took off and slashed a short dagger towards the back of Cao Huachun's neck, the real figure on the right folded, and the cat's legs swept at his knee joints, Cao Huachun's thighs were numb, and he knelt on one knee. The remaining more than a dozen people who resisted saw Cao Huachun captured, and they were quickly cut down to the ground by Zhou Guanfu and them.
Although Cao Huachun's right foot was abolished, he looked at Wang Jian excitedly, as if he was going to say something, and his scalp was numb for a while: This old boy won't have a leg with Chongzhen, but according to Chongzhen's memory, it's not like it.
At this time, someone behind Wang Jian suddenly jumped down from the wall and slashed at his back!
"Be careful!" Chen Qi'er did not participate in the battle, as Wang Jian's personal maidservant, she has always been loyal to the duty of guard, easily did not make a move, always paid attention to Wang Jian's surrounding movements, and took the fatal knife for him in a flash, and the skill of the person who came was too strong to be able to resist it, Wang Jian was also knocked to the ground by her.
"Ah, Brother Jane!" The sudden change caught her off guard, she grabbed Cao Huachun and didn't dare to let go, and she was also worried.
"Qi'er, how are you?" Wang Jian hugged Chen Qi'er and asked, only to see that the corners of her mouth were bloodshot, obviously not lightly injured.
"Master, the slave is fine, don't worry." Chen Qi'er was still as calm as ever, afraid of exposing Wang Jian's identity, and afraid that he would be worried, so he pursed his lips and forcibly suppressed the injury, seeing that he was very distressed and angry, and at the same time realized that someone came to take advantage of the sneak attack to cut Chen Qi'er into serious injuries in one round, this skill is very extraordinary, it must be Li Zicheng's general!
The person who came was the one who had the strength of the realm of kings, and Li Zicheng was one of the five powerful generals under him!
I only heard the strong man shouting angrily: "General Da Shunquan is here, and the thief will not let go of Gonggong Cao and arrest him!" More than 20 archers suddenly appeared on the wall of the Wu Mansion and surrounded Wang Jian and the others.
It turned out that Gao Yigong, who had gone to fight the fire before, heard the sound of fighting in the Wu Mansion, and immediately brought people back to help, they didn't know the identity of the person who came, and they were afraid of hurting Wu Xiang, so they didn't shoot arrows indiscriminately.
Wang Jian's mind turned for a moment, and he said loudly: "General Gao, forgive me, under Zhang Bin, Governor Wu sent Zhang to pick up Master Wu and Gongzi, and I hope that General Gao will make it convenient." "At present, this situation may be able to be abrupt, but it is impossible to rescue the old and young of the Wu family, so I can only pretend to be Wu Sangui's men and horses and stabilize the archers around first.
"Oh? Did Mr. Wu ask you to come? Gao Yigong glanced at Wang Jian suspiciously, and raised his hand to signal the archer to slow down slightly. You put down your weapons first, and then make a decision when I make a decision. ”
Wang Jian was anxious in his heart, and said strongly: "General Gao, I Guan Ning Iron Cavalry has killed countless enemies in the pass, but there is no rule to put down the weapon, if this matter is known to Wu Dudu, we will not escape death." ”
Gao Yigong heard Wang Jian say this, and also knew the iron blood of the Guan Ning army, the soldiers put down their weapons is equivalent to surrendering, even if they return to Wu Sangui, they will definitely be executed, and if they don't surrender, they can't really be killed - King Chuang still wants to recruit Wu Sangui, if they are really forced to make a fool of themselves and kill the Wu family, then the situation will be out of control.
"Then you wait for Gonggong Cao to be released first." Gao Yigong said again, he could only retreat to the second.
Wang Jian didn't know what to do for a while, and when the two sides were at a stalemate, Wang Jian heard Cao Huachun's excited voice in his ears: "Holy Lord, the old slave can see that the emperor is safe and sound, and he has no regrets in his death, hand over the old slave to him, and the old slave will be loyal to His Majesty and help His Majesty get out of trouble!" ”
Wang Jian was stunned at first, seeing that Cao Huachun said sincerely, and he didn't mean to point out his identity to Gao Yigong, Gao Yigong didn't seem to care about the life or death of Cao Gonggong, and he just tried to test the truth when he opened his mouth to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian believed that as long as the Wu family was in hand, Gao Yigong would not dare to mess around, and he said: "Okay, I'll let Gonggong Cao go first." He thought for a moment and secretly asked his wife to solve the acupoint for Cao Gonggong, and then grabbed him and threw it towards Gao Yigong, Gao Yigong did not doubt that he had him, raised his hand to take it, and suddenly the door in his chest opened, Cao Huachun was caught and suddenly attacked, his left hand slashed at his chest, the chest is the most vulnerable part of the human body, and instantly shattered his sea of qi, and immediately lost all his strength for a short time, and I am afraid that I will have to take a few breaths to recover, and Cao Huachun obviously did not give him such a chance, and turned his palm into a claw and choked his throat at once: "Don't move!" "Let them lay down their bows or kill you!" Cao Huachun said loudly.
"Grandpa Cao, you!!" Gao Yigong only found out at this time that he had only been fooled by --- Jingshi, how could Wu Sangui send someone to pick up his family so quickly?
"General Gao, tell the archers to stand back, otherwise, hum! With a shake of your hand, your life will be gone! After Cao Huachun finished speaking, he grabbed his neck like an eagle's claw again, and Gao Yigong's head was suddenly pinched red from lack of oxygen.
"You dare! Now the whole world is the king, I advise you to capture it with your own hands! Gao Yigong said with a red breath, and the hard breath he said was that he raised his hand to let the archer withdraw.
"Then I don't bother you, Gonggong Cao..."Before Wang Jian finished speaking, Cao Huachun interrupted him and said: "General Zhang, the old slave originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill the thief and avenge the saint!" Now that his right leg is useless, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape, please tell Mr. Wu that the old slave is willing to repay his former Long En in the next life! Cao Huachun looked at Wang Jian with a resolute face and said.
Wang Jian knew that he was saying it to himself, to be precise, to Chongzhen. For a while, there were mixed feelings: before the crisis moment, who can distinguish between loyal ministers and betrayals? Throughout the ages, which traitor in all dynasties and dynasties has not been familiar with the books of sages? I'm afraid that there are very few people who agree with the truth in the book, and more people just regard it as an advanced ladder, in fact, this is also to blame these scholars, in terms of the court staff system since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, literati are pulled out of their pants and spanked in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs at every turn, and their dignity is trampled under their feet, how to talk about loyalty!
Every time you slaughter more dogs, you always have a bad heart.
Wang Jian could only carry Chen Qi'er on his back under the cover of several factory guards, and withdrew with Wu Xiang and Wu Yingxiong's grandson first, and there were people arranged by Wang Chengen outside Wu's mansion to respond.
"Jingshi has been under martial law in the whole city, and there is no warrant from the king, so you don't want to escape!" Gao Yigong saw Wang Jian go away, and roared anxiously.
At this time, a rebel on the ground who had not yet lost his breath shouted: "General Gao, Cao Lao Thief once called him the emperor!" Don't let him run away! ”
"What!!"
Seeing Wang Jian and the others go away, Gao Yigong was angry and anxious: "Let me shoot this old guy with an arrow!" ”
Wang Jian turned his head to look, only to see Cao Huachun alone at the door, and he had been pierced through his heart by ten thousand arrows!!
The secret room of the East Factory in the east of the city.
"The criminal minister Wu Xiang thanked the saint for his rescue!" Wu Xiang thanked him, this old man's body was tough, and his voice was like a bell. After all, he is a veteran who has experienced life and death several times, and although he has been besieged for three days, his bearing is still extraordinary.
"Calm down, I sent you to summon General Wu and ask him to come and fight quickly. Can you forgive me? Wang Jian looked into his eyes and asked.
"The criminal minister is the order, and the minister will tie up the unfilial son!" When Wu Xiang heard that he was going to be sent to Shanhaiguan to recruit King Wu Sangui Qin, he was immediately grateful.
At this time, Zhou Zhutou also got a few road guides, and Wang Jian asked Confucius Meng and other ten factory guards of the East Factory to take Wu Xiang's grandson out of the city first, and whispered to Confucius Meng before leaving. Wang Jian carried the injured Chen Qi'er on her back again, Wang Chengen and Ma Concubine, and sneaked back to the Forbidden City.
At this time, the Forbidden City was still brightly lit, but there were very few palace maids and eunuchs along the way, and occasionally only a few guards passed by, grabbing a palace maid to inquire, it turned out that Li Zicheng was feasting the ministers in the Jianji Hall at the back of the three major halls.
Wang Jian and the others turned over the Huangji Gate, and after a while, they came to the first hall in the palace--- the Huangji Palace. As for why they didn't go to the secret passage and came to this hall instead, Wang Chengen and the others were also confused.
Wang Jian looked at the dragon chair in the middle of the hall: Hey, I have to say goodbye before I have sat down, it's really not a taste. He walked up the steps slowly, sat down on the dragon chair, and said to himself, "Except for a little hard butt, it's still very comfortable." ”
Wang Chengen thought that Wang Jian was greedy for dragon sitting, and hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, this place is not suitable for a long time!" ”
Wang Jian smiled: "Don't worry, I still have something to take." gave him a reassuring look, and then beckoned to Ma Miao: "Mi Mi, come here with me." ”
Ma didn't know why, just went up the steps, and was grabbed by Wang Jian and sat on the dragon chair: "Hehe, is it still comfortable to sit?" ”
This time, not only Wang Chengen, but even Chen Qi'er on the side also changed her face greatly, and Ma Qi'er was simple-minded, since Wang Jian asked her to sit, she sat down, and said with a smile: "If the emperor's brother feels panicked, the concubine will add a cushion to you." ”
Wang Chengen couldn't see it, and reminded: "Niangniang, this dragon chair is not something you can sit on, come down quickly." ”
Listening to Wang Chengen's reminder, Ma Yumei was right to think about it, and hurriedly stood up.
