Early the next morning, Shaanxi Xingdu Si Yamen, backyard.

"My lord, I just received the news that Princess Le'an came to Ganzhou, and now she is trapped in Montenegro Town outside the city!"

Li Hongyu drank a lot of wine at the reception banquet last night, and drank Gu Shan, Zhao Hai and Wang Erhu with one enemy and three drinks, so he slept soundly, and heard the voice of the guards outside the window in a daze.

"Princess Le'an?" Hearing this, Li Hongyu immediately fell asleep, and sat up from the bed with a pout, his eyes revealing a look of surprise.

It stands to reason that Princess Le'an will go to the Western Academy in Shanghai County next year to teach, but I don't know why she will appear in Ganzhou, is she following him all the way west?

"What's going on?"

Princess Le'an is Emperor Chongzhen's favorite sister, and once there is any accident, the consequences can be unimaginable, so Li Hongyu hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door, and asked the guards who reported the news outside the door in a deep voice.

"Lord Hui, just now Princess Le'an's entourage went into the city to report that Princess Le'an was in distress in Montenegro Town, and was trapped in the inn where she lived by the town's bullies, and she was in danger." The guard didn't know much, and said after hearing this, he bowed to Li Hongyu and said.

"Gather people and go to Black Mountain Town with this official!" Li Hongyu's eyes suddenly flashed cold, and he gave an order to the guard in a deep voice, and then turned around and went back to the room to dress.

He is very aware of the virtues of those bullying bullies in the local area, and he is completely the lawless earth overlord in the place, and he can do anything out of the ordinary, so he must rush to Black Mountain Town as soon as possible.

With Li Hongyu's order, the more than 1,000 cavalry of the forbidden army who were resting in the military camp of Ganzhou City quickly assembled, followed Li Hongyu out of the city gate, and left without dust.

The movements of Li Hongyu and others naturally alarmed the defenders of Ganzhou City, but the generals in the city knew that these forbidden troops from the capital had official business and did not dare to stop them, so a thousand households on duty at the city gate hurriedly rushed to the Yamen of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to report to Gushan.

Gu Shan was sleeping in bed, originally Gu Shan, Zhao Hai, and Wang Erhu were going to use a wheel battle to get Li Hongyu drunk, but they didn't expect Li Hongyu to be a "wine basket", and they have undergone a lot of wine tests over the years, so the three of them made a complete mistake this time, and Li Hongyu didn't say anything but dared to drink himself.

"Your Excellency, Li Taibao led the cavalry of the forbidden army out of the city just now, and I don't know where to go."

Qianhu, who was guarding the door, told the news to the captain of the pro-soldiers beside Gushan, and the pro-soldier captain knew Li Hongyu's identity, so he didn't care that Gushan was sleeping, and went straight into his bedroom to wake him up.

"Li Taibao is out of the city?" Gu Shan slept in a daze, didn't react for a while, sat on the bed and yawned and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, I don't know what happened, according to the people at the city gate, those forbidden cavalry looked a little murderous." The captain of the pro-soldier asked in a low voice, "My lord, nothing will happen, will anything?" ”

"Murderous?" Gu Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but beat a spirit, and most of the wine woke up in an instant.

Could it be that someone provoked Li Hongyu? But who dares to be rude to the forbidden army from the capital, the forbidden army has been famous since the first battle of Shimen Mountain, and it has been regarded as the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the imperial forest army around the emperor, even Gushan does not dare to easily offend those forbidden army generals.

"Quick, gather people and horses to go with the official, Li Taibao's status is noble, don't go wrong with us!" Afterwards, Gu Shan got out of bed, and while getting dressed, he hurriedly commanded, what could alarm Li Hongyu was obviously a big deal.

Black Town, Inn.

A group of strong men with knives, guns, bows and arrows surrounded the backyard of the inn, and shouted to the courtyard where the courtyard gate was closed, asking the people inside to release Zhang Gongzi and obediently come out and arrest him.

There was no movement in the courtyard, and the people inside turned a blind eye to the threat of the strong men, showing an eerie silence.

Although there was fierce shouting and threatening, but none of those strong men dared to break in, first, they were worried that Zhang Gongzi would be hurt, and second, the people inside stretched out their hands very well, and last night they cut down more than a dozen of them in one face, so that they did not dare to attack.

At this time, there were more than a dozen strong men with bows and arrows in their hands standing expressionlessly in the courtyard, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements, ready to attack at any time.

In the hall behind the sturdy men, a handsome young man in a white shirt, about fifteen or sixteen years old, sat on the chair at the top of the seat with a frosty mask, and next to him stood an equally handsome young man in the costume of a subordinate, with a nervous expression.

If Li Hongyu was there, he would find that the handsome young man in white shirt turned out to be Princess Zhu Huiyuan of Le'an, and the person next to her was her personal palace maid Lu'er, and the two were obviously dressed as men at this time.

"Childe, someone brought it."

It didn't take long for the two big men to drag in a strong, richly dressed, and flowery boy and throw him on the ground in front of Zhu Huiyuan.

When the sturdy boy raised his head, he found that he had been beaten to the point that his nose and face were swollen, and his head was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't see his original appearance clearly.

"What a ruthless little girl, to tell you the truth, you'd better kill me now, or I'll definitely kill you!"

The strong boy glared at Zhu Huiyuan viciously, and opened his mouth to threaten, he had heard the shouts of those strong men outside the courtyard, and knew that his subordinates had surrounded the inn, and Zhu Huiyuan and the others could not escape.

As soon as the words fell, a big man standing on the side kicked on the door of the strong boy's face, he screamed and fell to the ground, howling like a pig, rolling on the ground, blood gushing from his nose and mouth, and the huge black footprints on his face were very eye-catching.

The big men who came with the strong boy this time are all the elite of the forbidden army who participated in the battle of Shimen Mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a proud soldier, so naturally he didn't take this strong boy brother in his eyes, and he should teach this bastard who rushed against Zhu Huiyuan a lesson.

"This girl wants to see who of us will be unlucky today."

Zhu Huiyuan didn't bother to pay attention to the strong son, looked at him coldly and said, "Forcible seizure, evil deeds, and reckless disregard for human life, it seems that you don't know what the royal law is!" ”

Brother Sturdy Boy's face is now heartbreaking, where can he care about responding to Zhu Huiyuan, besides, he has seen that these people are not easy to provoke, so he curled up on the ground and groaned, hoping to strip Zhu Huiyuan naked and press him to ravage him fiercely, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Listen to the people inside, we are the people of the right guard yamen in Ganzhou, and now we have received a report that the second son of the Zhang family has been kidnapped, and if we know each other, we will come out and surrender obediently, otherwise we will be killed."

At this moment, a shout came from outside the courtyard gate, which made the strong boy suddenly look happy, knowing that the family had brought reinforcements.

Black Mountain Town is the jurisdiction of the right guard of Ganzhou, because the Shaanxi Xingdu Division is military management, so if there is an accident in the jurisdiction, the local guard yamen will send people to deal with it.

The fact that the family of the strong boy was able to directly invite the people of the right guard of Ganzhou to go over the local Qianhu Office, which shows that his family has a lot of power in the local area.

"Tell them to kill that guy if they dare to come in." Zhu Huiyuan was not afraid of the people from the Yamen of the guard, and when she heard this, she coldly ordered, the strong boy brother collided with Princess Daming, and if he killed him, he would kill him, and there was no place to reason at all.

The people of the Ganzhou Right Guard Yamen outside the gate didn't expect Zhu Huiyuan's attitude to be so tough, and they didn't dare to break through for a while after learning this reply, if they really killed the strong son, then things would be bad, and they couldn't explain to the master of the Zhang family.

"If you have any conditions, just put it forward, as long as it doesn't hurt the second son of the Zhang family, we can agree." Therefore, after some deliberation, the people of the guard yamen changed their strategy and rescued the strong boy first.

Zhu Huiyuan ignored this proposal, inferring from the time, Li Hongyu should rush to Black Mountain Town soon, as long as Li Hongyu comes, then all the troubles will be solved.

Seeing that the people in the courtyard no longer responded, the people guarding the gate of the courtyard suddenly became anxious, if it weren't for the fact that the strong boy was in Zhu Huiyuan's hands, they would have rushed in to get people.

"Yang Baihu, my second young master was beaten by the gangsters inside last night, and now life and death are unpredictable, you quickly think of a way to rescue him, those people are extremely vicious, and if it is too late, my second young master will be worried about his life."

A thin middle-aged man looked anxious and said to a hundred households beside him, he was the housekeeper of the Zhang family, also surnamed Zhang, and he came to deal with the matter on the order of the master of the Zhang family.

"The second son is now in their hands, and there is nothing the official can do." Yang Baihu said to Steward Zhang helplessly when he heard this, he had never met this kind of person who did not play according to the routine, at least he had to give a response.

"Steward Zhang, what the hell is going on? How did the second son complain about each other? ”

Subsequently, Yang Baihu asked curiously, although he didn't know what was going on, judging from the style of the second son of the Zhang family, he must have taken the lead in provoking the incident, but he didn't expect it to hit the iron plate this time.

"They were kidnappers from other places who wanted to kidnap our second young master, but they were found out and besieged here." Steward Zhang's brows furrowed, and in a few words, he brought the cause of the incident over, and then said with a solemn expression, "These people are extremely fierce, I'm afraid they are not so easy to deal with." ”

"They definitely don't want to be trapped here, sooner or later they will make a request, as long as the second son is out of danger, then this official can lead the troops to wipe out those gangsters."

Yang Baihu didn't believe this reason, Black Mountain Town is the world of the Zhang family, even if the other party wants to kidnap Zhang Ergongzi, then he must choose to do it outside the town, and he is simply looking for death in the town, but he naturally will not raise objections, but said after a deep sigh.

"That's all there is to it." Steward Zhang suddenly sighed in his heart when he heard this, because Zhang Ergongzi was in the hands of the other party, they were only in a passive situation.

As soon as Steward Zhang's words fell, the ground suddenly trembled slightly, and a low roar faintly came from outside the town, and Li Hongyu led the cavalry of the forbidden army to finally rush over.
