Wuchang.

"Where do you want the son tonight?"

Huang Shu sat on the back of the horse and said to Zuo Mengeng on the side with a smile.

"Do you have a good place to go?"

Zuo Mengeng urged the horse to speed up and said.

"That's natural, Xia Guan brought a wonderful person this time, but I have been trained since I was a child, I am well versed in various means, and I am also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I want to share it with the world!"

Huang Shu said.

"Are you willing to have such treasures?"

Zuo Mengeng said.

"You and I are like brothers, why should we be reluctant to be a servant?"

Huang Shu said.

"Then I'll share it with my brother tonight!"

Zuo Mengeng said.

After speaking, the two looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time, in their laughter, with the rise and fall of their horses' hooves, the chaos on this bustling street is also spreading, both traders and pedestrians are panicked to the sides of the dodge, looking at their embarrassed appearance, Zuo Mengeng and Huang Shu laughed and urged their crotch to dismount, accompanied by the sporadic drizzle, with the escort of nearly 100 cavalry galloping over......

"Phew!"

Suddenly, Zuo Mengeng exclaimed.

At the same time, two carriages full of straw suddenly rushed out of the alley in front of him.

He and Huang Shu hurriedly took the war horse.

The long line of nearly a hundred cavalry behind them also stopped quickly, and the four nearest cavalrymen stepped forward as fast as they could, but then they stopped, because the straw on the two carriages was lifted, and three more crossbowmen were each holding black short crossbows and aimed at them less than three zhang away, including Zuo Menggeng in the middle of them.

Huang Shu subconsciously looked to the side.

The driver of the first carriage stepped down and took out a waist sign from his bosom and held it up......

"Jinyiwei is on an errand!"

He raised his waist card and shook the robe on his body, revealing the bullfighting suit inside, and shouted.

"Shizi, please get out of the way!"

He then said to Zuo Mengeng.

Huang Shu and Zuo Mengeng leaned close together as fast as he could, the latter patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to panic, and at this time, the cavalry behind kept moving forward, quickly lining up in front of them into a wall, Zuo Mengeng looked at the brocade guard with disdain.

"What if I don't let it?"

He said proudly.

"Shizi, we are ordered to arrest Huang Shu, the fugitive from the blackmail clan, and it has nothing to do with Ning Nanbo, Shizi, please don't let the little one be embarrassed!"

The brocade guard said.

"What kind of holy decree, it's just that you eunuchs are framed and framed, son, what nonsense are you talking about with these eunuch minions? Kill them all and throw them into the Yangtze River, don't look at what kind of place this is, this Wuchang City is not a place for your eunuchs to spread wildness, Ning Nanbo's father and son are loyal to the country, how can they be in the same stream with your eunuchs, the son of the world, these eunuchs dare to go to Wuchang City to spread wild, and they simply regard Ning Nanbo as nothing! ”

Huang Shu said.

"Get out of here before the son of the world gets angry!"

Zuo Mengeng said to the brocade guard.

"Shizi, please look at both sides of you!"

The brocade guard said with a smile.

Zuo Mengeng subconsciously raised his head, and suddenly there was a whistle that broke through the air, and almost at the same time Huang Shu beside him screamed, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly turned his head, and a crossbow arrow was nailed to Huang Shu's thigh, completely penetrating his thigh and nailed to the saddle.

The cavalry was in disarray.

They took off their shields one after another to protect Zuo Mengeng.

Others took out their bows and arrows and searched the buildings lined with them, but they were lined with wooden buildings along the street, and they had no idea where the arrows came from.

"Shizi, please get out of the way!"

The brocade guard continued to smile and said.

Zuo Mengeng hesitated.

The brocade guard's hand lifted upward.

The next moment, the second sound of breaking through the air came, and a shield guard in the hands of the cavalry beside Huang Shu suddenly pushed the shield back, and then the crossbow arrow that pierced the shield landed on Huang Shu's shoulder, although the strength had been greatly weakened, the crossbow arrow still pierced his shoulder. However, because of the cavalryman's subconscious action of retracting the shield, the crossbow arrow that was still left on the shield was pulled out immediately, and the unlucky Huang Shu immediately let out a heart-rending scream, even then he didn't want to reach out and pull Zuo Mengeng's hand......

"Shizi save me!"

He looked at Zuo Mengeng with an affectionate look and said tremblingly.

"Shizi, we didn't say we had to live."

The brocade guard said with a smile.

Zuo Mengeng turned his head to look at Huang Shu.

"Go with them first, Wuchang is our territory!"

He said.

Immediately after he waved his hand, the two cavalrymen helped Huang Shu, who could no longer ride a horse, to step forward, the brocade guard waved his hand, and the two brocade guards stepped forward to take it, Huang Shu turned his head on the horseback with severe pain, and looked at Zuo Mengeng with mournful eyes, Zuo Mengeng nodded to him firmly.

"Shizi, the little one retires!"

The brocade guard said.

"You'd better not move for a quarter of an hour, or I can't guarantee that the other brothers won't miss."

He went on to say.

After saying that, he dragged Huang Shu off the horse and fell directly on the carriage, and the two carriages quickly drove away in Huang Shu's screams, and at the same time as they left, among the cavalry behind Zuo Mengeng, dozens of horses quickly turned into the alleys on both sides, but it was obvious that these Jinyi guards had already prepared, and when these outflanked cavalry arrived, only those carriages were left, and the Jinyi guards and Huang Shu on the carriage all disappeared without a trace, and even the crossbowmen who were ambushed on both sides were not found......

"Block the gates, block the docks, block all land and water passages, find them and kill them!"

Zuo Mengeng gritted his teeth and said.

"Shizi, this is a stalemate with Jinyiwei!"

An officer cautiously reminded him.

Indeed, after all, the other party is a Jinyi guard who is ordered to do an errand, since Huang Shu has been arrested, then forget it here, there is no need to offend Yang Qing for a fugitive, not to mention that this is still a blatant confrontation with the imperial court.

"Falling out?"

Zuo Mengeng sneered.

"Are we afraid of falling out? They can arrest Huang Shu today, and they can directly arrest anyone of us tomorrow, who is this Wuchang City? My Zuo family is that Yang Qing can be bullied at will? These brocade guards must die, otherwise my father's face will not exist, and who will dare to be with my father again? They weren't afraid that one day the imperial court wanted to get rid of them, so they would directly let Jinyiwei find a crime and arrest them in the same way? ”

He went on to say.

Indeed, this is not only a matter of his personal relationship with Huang Shu, but also a matter of the authority of the Zuo family to divide Huguang.

If the Zuo family can't protect Huang Shu, then who would dare to follow them?

It wasn't just Huang Shu who was captured by Jinyiwei.

And the confidence of those generals and officials who are in the same party as Zuo Liangyu! The Zuo family was powerless when Jinyiwei arrested Huang Shu today, and the Zuo family was powerless when Jinyiwei arrested them tomorrow, so what are they doing with Zuo Liangyu? Aren't you afraid that one day the brocade guard will come to the door? It would be more cost-effective to follow the emperor to the imperial court, so that Zuo Liangyu's secession in Huguang would fall apart, so these brocade guards would definitely not be able to leave Wuchang alive.

With Zuo Mengeng's order, all the gates of Wuchang were closed, and the search for the city was quickly launched......

That night.

Ningnan Bo Mansion.

In the lobby, there are bursts of silk and bamboo, melodious singing, and dancing girls in tulle light shirts dance in the warmth of the fire......

"Ning Nanbo is so interested!"

Governor Li Qiande looked at Zuo Liangyu beside him and said.

The latter laughed but did not answer.

"Also, this life needs to be happy, don't wait for the flowing water to fall and the spring will cry!"

Li Qiande raised his wine glass and pretended to be generous.

"If you have something to say, say it!"

Zuo Liangyu said indifferently.

Zuo Mengeng didn't tell him what was going on outside, Zuo Liangyu has not been in good health and rarely goes out, so he still doesn't know that his son is searching for Jinyiwei!

"I just want to ask Ning Nanbo, how long are you going to continue drinking here? Liu Zeqing was beheaded by Zhongyongbo, Liu Liangzuo was also beheaded, Gao Jie had just been relieved of military power under the threat of Huang Degong and Huang Fei's army, and calculated the original towns, only Ning Nanbo and Huang Degong were left, that Huang Degong hugged the thigh of the eunuch party, he was the saint Fang Long has a bright future, but I don't know if Ning Nanbo can be as flattering as Huang Degong? ”

Li Qiande said.

"I said it, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Zuo Liangyu sneered.

"Then what does Ning Nanbo think about the new policy of the imperial court?"

Li Qiande said.

"Your Majesty's holy decree, of course we must listen to Your Majesty as courtiers."

Zuo Liangyu said indifferently.

Li Qiande smiled dryly and drank a glass of wine.

"The saint is confused by the eunuch party and the courtiers, what he does is becoming more and more dim, this Huguang land is newly poisoned by thieves, all parts of the country have been ruined, it can be said that all industries are withering, it is the time to recuperate, I don't want to suffer from the new policy, the people's livelihood is becoming more and more difficult, Nanjing Gonggong is all people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, regardless of my Huguang people's feelings, only know wanton gathering, Huguang people complain!"

He then sighed.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're from Sichuan, right?"

Zuo Liangyu sneered.

"Xiaguan's hometown has been seized by thieves, I'm afraid that my relatives have already been poisoned, and I have nothing to worry about, so I naturally have nothing to say!"

Li Qiande said.

He is a native of Nanchong, Sichuan.

"Then you can say something that is not scrupulous."

Zuo Liangyu said.

"Ning Nanbo has made great contributions to the world, and the land of Huguang ** Nanbo has been recovered, Your Majesty can violate the ancestral system to seal that Li Zi became the king of Qin, can't he be crowned a king of Chu with Ning Nanbo's merits? Li Zicheng became the northern capital and stayed to the north of the Huai River, couldn't the king of Chu stay and guard the west of the Jiujiang River for Chengtian? If Ning Nanbo is the king of Chu, then the gentry of Huguang are all supported, Ning Nanbo holds a large army and shocks the world, and there are tens of millions of people in the land of Hunan, Hubei, Jingxiang, Qianchuan behind him, and it is not beautiful to defend the upper class for the Ming Dynasty for generations to come! ”

Li Qiande said.

Well, this is how the Huguang gentry dealt with the New Deal.

Let Zuo Liangyu do the next Li Zicheng line.

Support him as Chengtian stayed, the king of Chu, and the northern capital stayed, the king of Qin, the latter dominated the north, the former seized the west of the Jiujiang River, and the jurisdiction alone to carry out its own policy has nothing to do with the imperial court, and then the gentry of Huguang, Guizhou, and Sichuan did not have to care about the new policy, and continued to pay taxes happily.

Zuo Liangyu smiled at him.

"Daring, do you want Benjue to rebel? Benjue is loyal to His Majesty, how can you be bewitched! ”

He suddenly slapped the table and shouted.

Then he prepared to draw his sword......

Li Qiande was instantly dumbfounded.

But at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zuo Mengeng, who had a dignified face, walked straight in.

"Father, I killed a few brocade guards!"

He said.

Zuo Liangyu's hand pulling out his sword stopped instantly.
