Not only was I dumbfounded, but the cavalry besieging me was also stunned.

"Who are you waiting for?" The leader of the cavalry besieging me asked.

"Guan Ning Eighteen Riders, come to escort!" The cavalry in the distance shouted.

Hearing this, Shuang'er said excitedly: "Guan Ning Eighteen Horsemen, who are righteous brothers, are finally here." ”

I grass! Wu Sangui's men are finally here, and if they are one step too late, I will hang up.

"Kill Chongzhen!" The leader of the besieging cavalry shouted.

Before the words fell, only a few "whoosh" sounds were heard like a gale, and the besieging cavalry fell to the ground.

I looked at it and saw that these people were all killed by arrows, and it was the eighteen horsemen of Guanning who came to escort them.

"They are assassins, Guan Ning's eighteen horsemen quickly protect the emperor!" Wang Chengen shouted.

In an instant, the two teams of men and horses met each other and fought on the spot.

Originally, I was worried that Wu Sangui's people were wine bags and rice bags, but I didn't expect that this Guanning Eighteen Cavalry was very brave, and they killed the besieging cavalry in three or two clicks and fled.

"The last general Zhang Zhao escorted late, which frightened the emperor!" It was the buddy who had just shot an arrow who spoke, he was tall and handsome like Wu Jing.

"I hope the emperor will atone for his sins!"

Guan Ning's eighteen horsemen said in unison, and Zhang Zhao immediately took out the talisman to prove his identity and showed it to Wang Chengen.

"Guan Ning Eighteen Riders, please get up quickly, I am thanks to you today!"

After saying these polite words, I asked Shuang'er, what is the origin of this Guan Ning Eighteen Cavalry, not only does the name sound fierce, but the combat effectiveness is also quite awesome.

Shuang'er whispered: "The Eighteen Horsemen of Guanning were originally scattered outside the Shanhai Pass, they had unique skills, and they had assassinated the Manchu leader Huang Taiji many times, and then the righteous brother guarded the Shanhaiguan and included them in the army. ”

As soon as Shuang'er said this, I am quite grateful to Wu Sangui, it seems that he really wants to protect me, otherwise he would not have sent such a good team.

But I don't know what the hell is the origin of this cavalry besieging me.

You must know that these people are not here to steal the scriptures at all, they are all here to kill me.

But their outfit was neither the palace forbidden army nor Li Zicheng's peasant army, but more like the costume of Guan Ning's eighteen horsemen.

Could it be that the news and route of our way out of the city have been leaked?

These people are waiting for the rabbit, and they still want to blame Wu Sangui?

"Your Majesty, there's still a living mouth here!" Frost spoke.

"Pretend to be Guan Ning's eighteen horsemen, and suffer death!" Zhang Zhao said angrily, drawing a knife to kill.

"Don't kill him yet!" I walked over and saw that the guy was bleeding from his neck, and he was about to die.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?"

"Yes, Hu...... Hu ......"

"Who is it?" I asked excitedly, but the dog died before he finished speaking, and I was half angry to death.

When I went back, I asked Wang Chengen if there was anyone surnamed Hu in the army and the imperial court, and Wang Chengen couldn't think of any big official surnamed Hu after thinking about it for a long time.

Angry, it's really annoying, Lao Tzu was assassinated one after another, but he just couldn't catch the mastermind.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has something to report, and I ask the emperor to atone for his sins!" Wang Chengen knelt on the ground.

"Lao Wang, what are you making trouble about, what do you have to say?"

"The old slave was negligent, and just discovered that there was one less person in the guards, and I think the reason why the assassins knew our whereabouts is most likely related to this person."

Nima, no wonder just walked out of the secret passage, Wang Chengen kept walking around, it turned out that he found that someone didn't follow.

But I was a little surprised, because I always thought that Li Zicheng was going to kill me, but now it seems that the person who wants to kill me is not Li Zicheng, but someone else. In other words, besides Li Zicheng, there are people who want my life.

Think about it, if this guard is Li Zicheng's person, then it is impossible for us to come out of the secret passage, and we will definitely die in the palace.

Thinking of this, I said to Wang Chengen: "Old Wang, I don't blame you, get up!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

"But we can't take the previous route to the south now, we have to take a different route, do you have any good suggestions?"

I say this because I am afraid that the route we have drawn up has been reported to the mastermind by the fleeing guard, who may have set up an ambush along the way.

"Your Majesty, the previous plan of the old slave was to enter Shandong along Zhili, and then enter Nanjing from Jiangsu, by land. The old slave thought that the Assassins might have known about this route, so the old slave thought that it would be better to take the waterway and take a boat from Tianjin directly to Nanjing, which would take a long time, but it would be relatively safe. Wang Chengen said.

I thought about it, and it was indeed more insurance to take a boat from the sea, so I agreed to Wang Chengen's suggestion.

Immediately, under the protection of the eighteen horsemen of Guanning, everyone rode on horseback and went straight to the port of Tianjin.

Damn, I've always wanted to ride a horse but I didn't realize it, and this time I realized how painful it was when I rode a horse, and my ass was about to turn upside down.

It took a whole day of jolting on the horse before we arrived in Tianjin, and because of the urgency of time, I found a doctor along the way to treat Chen Yuanyuan's wounds briefly, and then boarded the sailboat heading south.

……

It's already dark when I sit on the boat, buddy, I look at Chen Yuanyuan who is dying, I don't know how much it hurts, this beauty is hurt for me, if she has three long and two short, I will feel guilty in my life.

I have to say that the ancient means of transportation were really too slow, and we did not dare to land easily, so we had to go south with the wind.

Due to the lack of timely medical treatment, and there was no food on the boat to replenish his body, Chen Yuanyuan's injuries became more and more serious, buddy, I was anxious.

After drifting at sea for almost half a month, Wang Chengen told me that there was not enough food on the ship that needed supplies, and he was going to find a port to dock tomorrow and let people buy some food.

Hearing this, my tears were about to flow out, and I silently thought in my heart that Chen Yuanyuan was finally saved.

Dude, I ran to the cabin excitedly, and Chen Yuanyuan was lying on the bed.

"Yuanyuan, great, great!" I said excitedly, completely forgetting that I was the emperor.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Saying that, Chen Yuanyuan was about to get up and kowtow to me.

I stepped forward and held her jade back and said, "You don't have to salute. The prince just told me that you will go to the shore tomorrow to buy food, and then I will accompany you to find Lang Chinese medicine for treatment. ”

"Your Majesty! The folk girl is just a dusty geisha, and there are assassins on the shore, and the emperor should put the country first, and it is not worth taking the risk for the people. She said weakly.

Hearing this, I was really moved, Chen Yuanyuan is really much more sensible than my damn girlfriend.

And the more she said that, the more I felt that I really should take on the responsibility of recovering the Ming Dynasty.

Think about it, the reason why she is willing to block that knife for me is not because she likes me, but because she respects Emperor Chongzhen and thinks that Chongzhen shoulders the hope of the people in the world.

A woman in a green house is willing to show her life for the common people in the world, what qualifications do I have to steal my life?

"My life was bought by you, I can't let you have three long and two short, let alone you are a loyal wife."

"The Emperor's ......"

"You can recuperate with peace of mind, you don't have to be afraid of anything!" As I spoke, I covered her with the quilt, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The next morning, the ship docked, and everyone didn't want me to go ashore with Chen Yuanyuan, for fear that I would encounter an assassin, but I still insisted on going ashore.

When I went ashore and listened to the accents of the people along the way, I should have arrived at Wusong at that time, which is now the magic capital of Shanghai.

It is unimaginable that the magic capital at that time was actually a small town, without the domineering spirit of Beijing.

But in Shanghai, we only need to go down the Yangtze River to reach Nanjing.

I found a doctor to treat Chen Yuanyuan's wounds, then brought medicine and food, and prepared to go back to the boat.

As I passed by the market, I saw a large group of people talking from afar, as if they were watching the excitement.

A white-faced scholar in the crowd said: "Senior brother, Chongzhen is dead, the number of Da Ming Qi has been exhausted, even Wu Sangui has taken refuge in Li Zicheng, why are you still obsessed?" ”

"Shut up! The emperor is not dead, and neither is the Ming Dynasty. ”

A young man with a short stature and an unbearable face angrily scolded the white-faced scholar. He was fourteen or fifteen years old when he went up, holding a huge copper hammer in both hands, and he looked a bit like Wang Baoqiang.

"Senior brother, those who know the times are Junjie, come with me to join the king." Bai Mian said excitedly.

"Don't say that you take refuge in the thief, even if you dare to leave Wusong for half a step, I will be unkind to you!"

After the short young man finished speaking, he raised the copper hammer in his hand, which looked like the thing Li Yuanba took in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

Seeing this, the white-faced scholar ran away, and the short young man jumped violently, brandished a copper hammer and smashed it at him.

Although the white-faced scholar resisted with his sword, he couldn't parry it at all, and his sword broke off in an instant, and he died tragically on the ground.

Nima! Lao Tzu had only seen this kind of scene on TV before, but I didn't expect that there were really such fierce people in ancient times, and this short man was still so young, it was really awesome.

It's just that I'm a little confused, how does this short man know I'm not dead.

Could it be that he is this assassin who already knows my whereabouts, so he is ambushed in Wusong?

But that's not right, if he was an assassin, why would he still be upright when he spoke.
