The Qing army outside the temple is fighting with Wang Yan's six people, and the Tang King and his entourage in the temple suddenly killed, although many ministers basically have no combat power at all, but it is equivalent to wandering outside the battle array, sneak attacks from time to time, and Zheng Sen is extremely capable of fighting, so that the morale of the Qing army is discharged, and the battle is out of order.

The personal strength of the Qing soldiers is not as good as Hu Weizong and others, all rely on the cooperation of the battle formation, so as not to fall behind, and now they are disrupted by Tang Wang and his party, Hu Weizong immediately found an opportunity, the long knife danced, and instantly cut down one person, and the little masters on the other side also slammed with long sticks, knocking several people away.

Seeing this, the colonel of the Qing army knew that the general trend had gone, so he hurriedly broke away from the battle and wanted to reflexively flee down the mountain.

After Zheng Sen rushed out, although he also raised his sword from time to time to attack, he was more protective of Tang Wang's side, just in case, when he saw that the little colonel wanted to escape, he immediately threw his sword at it, straight into his back, and killed him.

The leader died, and the remaining Qing troops saw this, where did they dare to fight again, and immediately dispersed, Wang Yan and others took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, killing more than ten Qing soldiers along the way, and when they chased to the corner of the mountain, only three real Manchurians took their horses and fled.

Wang Yan and his entourage, there were not enough people, and the northern captives were superb in riding, Wang Yan couldn't catch up, so he had to let him escape.

How many men and horses were sent by the Qing army to chase and kill the Tang King, Wang Yan didn't know at all, now the three Qing soldiers escaped, and it was very likely to lead the troops back, so Wang Yan didn't dare to let the Tang King stay here, so he let Hu Weizong pick up the three daughters, and let a few little masters take care of the remaining more than 20 war horses, and he hurried to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the broken temple has been engulfed in fire, and the king of Tang is resting on the mountain stone outside the temple in the courtiers.

His Royal Highness and the ministers could not be compared with the soldiers of the battle array, as the battle ended, the breath in the chest dissipated, and everyone suddenly seemed to be prostration, but although the ministers were tired, their faces were full of joy, and they had only fought for a long time and had an aftertaste.

At this time, Zuo Maodi was talking with Huang Daozhou, but saw Wang Yan coming to the top of the mountain, so he hurriedly propped up his body to greet him, and said softly: "We support the Tang Dynasty and the country, and Shiheng is not rude." ”

Wang Yan couldn't help but stop when he heard this, and thought about it in his heart, so he nodded and said: "King Tang loves the people and has the will to recover, so he should be our master!" ”

Seeing that Wang Yan did not object, Zuo Maodi nodded with satisfaction, followed Wang Yan to see, and walked to King Tang with a quick walk, and Wang Yan immediately bowed to the ground, "Your Highness suffers, and the ministers are late!" ”

When King Tang saw Wang Yan making a big salute, he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly got up to help him and held his hand personally, "Farewell to Hangzhou, meet with the Qing family again today, this providence dictates this, so that the Qing family can help this king get out of trouble!" The Qing family is the pillar of the king, how can it be too late! ”

Between the words of the Tang King, it was full of favor and reliance on Wang Yan, so that Wang Yan's heart was moved, and he wanted to bow again, but was dragged by the Tang King, Wang Yan had to sincerely say to the Tang King: "Your Royal Highness is loved, and the ministers must reveal the loyalty to the death, and live up to the country's weal and woe!" ”

"True loyalty! Such as the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, all such as Qing, etc., why is the society here! King Tang sighed in his heart, "It's a pity that this king has no daughters under his knees, otherwise he will be a worthy minister!" ”

When Hangzhou City, Wang Yan had a particularly deep impression of His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty, which was very different from many clans, and was now a prison country, and had the appearance of the Ming Lord, which was hundreds of times stronger than Hongguang and Lu Domain, so that Wang Yan saw a trace of hope for the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty.

The ancient monarch took his daughter to the courtier, which is a very high favor and honor, although the Tang King has no daughter, but he said this, it also shows how much he values Wang Yan, which makes Wang Yan quite moved in his heart, "Your Royal Highness's kindness, the minister will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, unswerving until death, will not forget!" ”

"If you have this thought, the country is very lucky!" Tang Wang held his hand and wanted to pull Wang Yan to sit down beside him, "Come and sit down, and then talk to this king." ””

Wang Yan was worried that the fleeing Qing soldiers would recruit soldiers and horses again, so he didn't dare to delay time, so he said to King Tang: "Your Highness's whereabouts are leaked, this place is no longer a safe place." His Royal Highness now thinks that he is the lord of the country, and he is a member of the community, so he should put his own safety first, and leave this place with his ministers first, and join the army, so as to be safe. When His Royal Highness arrives in the army, he will be escorted by a large army, and the ministers will talk to His Highness again, I wonder if His Highness thinks so? ”

"Qing's words, no matter what!" When the king of Tang heard his words, he thought so, nodded casually, and said to everyone: "According to the words of the Qing family, the kings got up, and together with the king, they left this place with Wang Qing and ran to a safe place. ”

At that moment, Wang Yan went down the mountain with Tang Wang and his entourage, Zheng Sen helped Tang Wang in front, and he helped Zuo Maodi behind.

On the way down the mountain, Zuo Maodi talked with Wang Yan, "Shi Heng saw His Highness today, what do you think of His Highness?" ”

"His Royal Highness knows people's hearts, Corporal Lixian, determined to recover, and is the master of Zhongxing!" Wang Yan replied, and then asked rhetorically: "Duke Zuo and His Royal Highness fled and supported His Highness as a prisoner of the country, what do you think Your Highness thinks?" ”

"His Royal Highness does not drink, does not love beauty, likes to read and is silent and good at dogs and horses, and is a fine official, through the past and the present, with lofty ambitions, and knows the suffering of the people, there is no one among the vassals, and he is really the master!" Zuo Maodi praised.

"In this way, I am the Duke of Zuo, and I should assist His Highness wholeheartedly, recover the rivers and mountains, and rebuild the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!" Wang Yan couldn't help but hold Zuo Maodi's hand tightly and said sincerely.

"Dare not to shout?" Zuo Maodi smiled and responded.

Wang Yan's face also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for many days.

After the defeat of Nanjing and Hangzhou, and the fall of Emperor Hongguang and Lu Fan into the hands of the Qing army, a group of courtiers loyal to the Ming Dynasty fell into despair, and they were able to find a lord like the Tang King.

Wang Yan and Tang Wang and others came to the bottom of the mountain, Hu Weizong had already brought Su Kunsheng and the three daughters, Wang Yan hurriedly asked them to salute Tang Wang, Tang Wang smiled and accepted it, but many ministers showed displeasure, even Zuo Maodi was blamed.

The saying of the talented and beautiful people of the Ming Dynasty, although it is widely spread among the people, and is gradually accepted by the society, but it has not been accepted in the imperial court and Shilin, otherwise there will be no Qian Qianyi and Liu Ruis combination, countless scholars stood on the shore and scolded, and threw their wedding boats with bricks and rubble.

Wang Yan saw that everyone was like this, and knew that it was useless for him to say more, so he did not explain, but only ordered Hu Weizong to take care of the three daughters, and then rode the war horse left by the Qing army with Tang Wang and his party, and crossed Lishui to Wenzhou.

In the carriage, Xu Yanyan, who was very good-hearted, naturally felt that the courtiers did not like her, even when she was in Nanjing, Lord Zuo, who was entrusted by Wang Yan to take care of her a lot, was also like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself.

"Sister, what's going on?" Li Xiangjun saw that she was a little sullen, and asked with concern.

When Xu Yanyan heard this, she came back to her senses slightly, "Sister, you say, will Yanyan affect the courtiers' views of Brother Wang?" ”
