Section 240 The Verge of Collapse

Although Xu Daoqing hated Ji Qingwen to the core, it was not to the extent of dying, listening to his ridicule, although he was unhappy in his chest, he was helpless, and only left a sentence: "The surname Ji, you wait for me!" ”

As soon as he turned around, he ran out of the gate of the "Jade Temple".

Ji Qingwen is now driving strong enemies internally and reinforcing from outside, and when he is taking advantage of it, how can he allow Xu Daoqing to leave calmly like this?

So he gave an order and shouted: "Brothers, this Xu Daoqing is my enemy, you work harder and capture him alive for me, Lao Tzu will be rewarded." ”

Although Ji Qingwen offered a reward, the soldiers under his command were exhausted after fighting for most of the day, and they had no strength to make this money, so they could only stay in place and gasp for breath to recover their strength for the time being.

Ji Qingwen wanted to catch it himself, but he asked himself that martial arts was by no means Xu Daoqing's opponent, even if he had two pistols in his hand, he might not be able to beat him, so he had to give up.

Seeing Xu Daoqing slipping away from his eyes, Ji Qingwenzheng felt a little pity, but he heard Huang Degong's voice in his ears: "Dongjia, are you still there?" Huang Degong came to save you! ”

Huang Degong is a strong martial artist, and he is quite reliable, but he was born with a twisted temper that is not commensurate with his appearance, and sometimes he hates Ji Qingwen in a bad mood.

But now that he heard his loud voice, Ji Qingwen's heart was full of intimacy and security, and he hurriedly replied: "I'm here, I'm here." Thanks to you, come in and pick me up......"

Halfway through speaking, Ji Qingwen suddenly remembered that Xu Daoqing hadn't gone far yet, and might be able to be stopped by Huang Degong, so he mentioned again: "The man who ran out just now is the bandit leader in the White Lotus Sect, hurry up and catch him alive for me." ”

Huang Degong's voice got closer and closer, and he replied, "Man? Which man? I don't know how many men ran out just now, which one is the owner talking about? ”

Between the questions and answers, Xu Daoqing had already escaped in the crowd.

After Ji Qingwen and Huang Degong rendezvous, he was more confident, and he didn't want to continue to stay in the dull and narrow "Jade Courtyard", so he led the army to line up outside the house.

He originally thought that after such a fuss from the reinforcements led by Huang Degong and Meng Hong, the White Lotus Sect should have been demoralized and fled for their lives.

Unexpectedly, those White Lotus Sect members still gathered around Xu Hongru, chanting songs in the air, although there were still a few who took the opportunity to slip away, but most of the disciples had stabilized their original rippling minds, and seemed to have recovered their combat effectiveness in the blink of an eye.

Ji Qingwen saw that although the teachings of the White Lotus Sect were absurd, there was indeed merit in winning people's hearts, and he admired it a little in his heart, so he said yes

Xu Hongru shouted: "Sect Leader Xu, seeing that so many disciples under your command are also ordinary people, and there are also old and young people in the family to feed, it doesn't matter if you lose your life here in vain, the old and the young in the family will also starve to death......

What Ji Qingwen said is human nature, although the White Lotus Sect believes in Mingzun, but the big and small families are their natural fetters, so Ji Qingwen's words make people's hearts float.

Therefore, Xu Hongru hurriedly said: "Master Ji, the old man knows that you are a good eloquent, if you have anything to say, you can just say it, don't beat around the bush like this!" ”

The corners of Ji Qingwen's mouth lifted and said, "Okay!" Sure enough, it's a quick talk. What I mean - Sect Leader Xu has caused such a big storm in Nanjing City, and he will definitely not survive. It's better to ask the sect master to surrender on the spot, and you can pat your chest and promise that this time the court will only ask the sect leader about one person's sin. In this way, Sect Leader Xu only used his own life to exchange the lives of so many disciples, which can be regarded as a great benevolence. Although the master of the sect is dead, the spirit still lives in the hearts of the majority of believers! ”

Xu Hongru did not have the character of sacrificing his life for righteousness, and immediately rejected Ji Qingwen's suggestion: "Phew! How dare you trick the deity into surrendering! You might as well raise your eyes and see how many soldiers you have in your hands, and then see if the old man can pull up so many men and horses, can he surrender like you? ”

Although Xu Hongru's words were suspected of bluffing, he was not all false, and he saw that thousands of White Lotus Sect disciples had gathered from all directions. It turned out that the city of Nanjing was vast, and when many believers heard the news of the riot, they immediately picked up the guys at hand, and when they rushed to the bank of the Qinhuai River, they had already missed the battle just now.

However, these disciples had just gathered, and they had not seen the battle just now, and naturally they had no intuitive impression of the cruelty and tragedy on the battlefield, so their morale was still very high, and when Xu Hongru was almost about to collapse, it could be regarded as quite dependable.

When Ji Qingwen saw the scene in front of him, he began to regret it a little - in fact, as long as he gave an order, he ordered his soldiers to immediately load gunpowder bullets, and aim at Xu Hongru to kill him, so why bother talking to him about these nonsense?

Thinking of this, Ji Qingwen felt that it was not too late, so he stretched out his hand to beckon Meng Hong and said, "Meng Hong, have you seen that old immortal?" He is the White Lotus Sect Leader Xu Hongru, you hurry up and find two hundred brothers with accurate marksmanship, quietly load and aim behind the crowd, and then beat this person into a sieve......"

Meng Hong didn't have time to agree, but Li Yan persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Ji, this can't be done. This burst of muskets will inevitably affect the White Lotus Sect around Xu Hongru. Brother Ji is not afraid of hurting the innocent? ”

If it was placed a year or two ago, Ji Qingwen really might not have made up his mind, but after the battle

In several bloody battles between Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji, Ji Qingwen's heart became more and more ruthless and harder, and he said: "Brother Li is inevitably a little benevolent to women. If Xu Hongru could be quickly killed, then the White Lotus Sect rebellion would be immediately quelled, and the number of dead and injured civilians would naturally be much less. I'm saving someone's life! ”

Li Yan said: "I am not talented in Xia, Brother Ji naturally understands this truth in Xia." But Nanjing City is an eye-catching place, and the imperial historians of the six departments of Nanjing may not be able to understand Brother Ji's painstaking efforts! ”

Ji Qingwen has seen some of the energy of the imperial historians, and knows that although they are just talking about cool words, they can bite people to death if they have more flies, and even if they don't bite people, they will annoy people to death.

But Ji Qingwen didn't want to admit defeat easily, and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm now putting down the rebellion, dealing with the bandits of the White Lotus Sect, even if there are a thousand or ten thousand reasons to send it to the emperor, they can't get involved in me! ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "Why should Brother Ji be like this? I have a way to surrender without a fight......"

This sentence is in the "Art of War", which says that those who are good at using soldiers to plot can achieve victory on the battlefield without avoiding fighting.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen also became interested and asked, "Since Brother Li has a clever plan to break the enemy, why didn't he take it out earlier?" ”

Li Yan replied casually: "I also had an idea just now, and it is not necessarily that the spirit is not effective." However, there is no loss in using it, Brother Ji might as well take a look. ”

Saying that, Li Yan said loudly: "Huang Degong, your whole army came to reinforce and made a decision immediately, which is a good example." Let me ask you, did you bring all three military flags with you? ”

Huang Degong is a straight-hearted man, he can't stand the praise, so he patted his chest and said: "The military flag is the dignity of the whole army, of course I brought it!" ”

"Good! Well done! Li Yan praised again, "Then you quickly unfurl the general flag, I have something to say to those White Lotus Sect disciples on the other side." ”

Huang Degong agreed, and seeing that Ji Qingwen did not object, he asked someone to take out the three military flags from the burden on his back, and found a few long bamboo poles from the street to dry clothes, put the flags on the pole heads, and waved them high.

It turned out that Huang Degong was ordered to join Meng Hong and 800 brothers of the "Ming Wu Army" stationed outside the city of Nanjing, and suddenly received an order from Li Yan from Xiaoduozi, saying that Ji Qingwen was in danger and wanted to immediately lead the brothers outside the city into the city to reinforce and respond.

Although Huang Degong is a little timid, he is loyal to Ji Qingwen, and when he heard the news, he immediately panicked, and when he picked up a stick, he wanted to go into Nanjing alone to rescue his "owner".
