On the evening of September 13, the 17th year of Chongzhen, it was three days after Wang Zheng entered the city of Beijing.

The night was darker than usual, and although there was a bright moon hanging overhead, the soldiers of the Han army who were on duty at the head of Shengjing City felt that everything below was a little eerie.

Suddenly, an arrogant voice came:

"The minions have all listened well, the regent of Zuo and the queen mother have an order, from now on, the defense of the eight gates and eight passes will be strengthened several times, although the Qi army may not come here, but it is always right to be more careful."

The Han army Zhenghuang Banner who was in charge of the outer gate was all named Chen Shaozong, and he was Geng Zhongming's descendant.

Although Chen Shaozong said nothing in the Han army here, facing the banner man in front of him, it was like a son seeing Lao Tzu, and greeted him with a flattering smile.

The banner man who came to give the order was wearing a red flag full body armor, and he was obviously the infantry armor banner on the Daishan Mansion, and he didn't know how good it was in terms of status than the Han army.

Seeing Chen Shaozong know each other like this, the tartar laughed and left very relieved.

Not long after, an officer wearing the Han army's yellow flag armor ran over from the west side of the city wall, clasped his fists and said:

"Dutong, there is a Han army outside the city."

"Oh? Who would dare to come to Shengjing City at this juncture, I'm afraid it's not a spy or an archer? ”

Chen Shaozong's eyes rolled, thinking that some time ago, the regent of Zuo, Daishan, had already said that any soldier and horse would not get Shengjing for no reason, let alone a Han army, it must be a spy.

But when he heard this, Najia Laezhen did not immediately go down to give the order, but said hesitantly:

"Dutong, not a spy, the person who came is... It was Shi Mingxiong, who was stationed in the Baitapu area, saying that there was an urgent military situation report to the regent! ”

"Song Guofu, don't you abolish your public for personal reasons!"

Chen Shaozong's face immediately changed when he heard the name Shi Mingxiong, and he pointed at Song Guofu and scolded him, saying that Song Guofu and Shi Mingxiong had been playmates since childhood, and that Shi Mingxiong betrayed King Huaishun, and there must be no good thing to come this time.

Song Guofu was scolded with a black face, and he hated Chen Shaozong who was bullying even more in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only bear it.

After a while, he was scolded and scolded, and Chen Shaozong also understood that he still had to go and see.

Shi Mingxiong is talking about the urgent military situation, if it is related to the Qi army that landed, it will be a big deal, if he is delayed, and the regent of Zuo will know about it, it will inevitably lead to the fall of the head.

When he came to the west city wall, Chen Shaozong really saw Shi Mingxiong riding a horse below, he looked back and forth for a while, and then shouted below:

"Why do you seem to have come from the south to ask for Hanako, what is going on?"

It turned out that the group of soldiers who came with Shi Mingxiong below were each wrapped in white cloths, and many of them were panting, and even supported each other to move forward, it seemed that they had experienced a fierce battle not long ago.

Hearing this, Shi Mingxiong below was even more secretly hateful in his heart, and said in a low voice:

"General, this person's name is Chen Shaozong, he is the most loyal to the Tartars, and he must not stay, the one beside him is the playmate of the slave from childhood to adulthood, and he has long been dissatisfied with Chen Shaozong, and the slave can persuade him to defect to the King of Qi."

Pretending to be an ordinary soldier to lead him was Lu Jingrong, the commander of this Qi army, he let go of the disgust in his heart for these wall grass traitors, just nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"It's up to you next, if you successfully enter Shengjing City this time, your Shi Mingxiong will make a great contribution, and I will report to the King of Qi and allow you to list first-class merits!"

Shi Ming's ambition was surging and he was convinced.

In the past few days of preparation, Shi Mingxiong already knows the rarity and importance of the first-class merit in the Qi army, and if he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future, he will be a battalion officer, which is not much better than being a slave to these Manchurian barbarians now.

Thinking of this, he raised his voice and shouted:

"Chen Dutong, that Qi army raided Baitapu three days ago, and the minions fought desperately to escape with their lives, this time they came to report for the regent Zuo, if you delay the military situation, you have to be careful of your head!"

"Presumptuous, you are a small Zhuangtian Tun official, and you also have that qualification to teach Ben Dutong?"

Originally, Chen Shaozong had a grudge against Shi Mingxiong, and he had always been skeptical, but after hearing Fang Cai's words, he no longer doubted the authenticity of his words.

If according to Shi Mingxiong's previous temperament, he would never have the courage to argue with himself, then there may be only one, that is, what he said is true, and the Qi army is not far away.

Chen Shaozong obviously didn't plan to open the door, but by coincidence, the Manchurian Zhenghongqi Zhangjing, who was in charge of the outside door, came over to patrol the city, and when he heard the word military intelligence, he immediately yelled at Chen Shaozong to open the door.

Chen Shaozong is a metropolitan commander, and he doesn't know where to go to the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner Zhang Jingsu, but he still immediately softened like a turtle grandson, joking, this is Dai Shan's palace guard, even if he cuts himself on the spot, nothing will happen in the end.

Shengjing City is not a very heavy city gate was opened, hearing this voice, Lu Jingrong's face was happy, originally he had the mentality of trying it out, before he came, he had already asked Gao Shan and Niu Pingliang to lead people to ambush on the left and right sides respectively, and prepared a simple ladder and rushing car, planning to attack Shengjing strongly.

This Shengjing is also a capital, who would have thought that the city gate would be opened as soon as it was deceived.

Chen Shaozong immediately became a slave in front of that Manchurian Zhangjing, and he should have been watching and commanding at the head of the city, but at this time he had to go down to the city in person to ask.

He took Sanming's personal soldiers out of the city, and said as he walked:

"Shi Mingxiong, the regent Zuo doesn't allow other soldiers and horses to enter the city, you better go to the palace by yourself!"

Shi Mingxiong rode on the horse, watching Chen Shaozong keep sneering, and he didn't reply for a while, Chen Shaozong's face was angry, and he was about to say something.

At this time, Shi Mingxiong said:

"Today, let's settle the old and new accounts together!"

Before Chen Shaozong could speak, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

At this time, it was still a long night, and an ordinary groom who was originally leading Shi Mingxiong's horse suddenly pulled out a cold and shining waist knife, and pierced his chest with lightning speed.

It was too late, it was too soon, Shi Mingxiong raised his head and shouted:

"Brother Guofu, the army of King Qi is here, what are you waiting for!"

Song Guofu obviously didn't react, but the Manchurian Zhangjing reacted quickly, and immediately yelled for the Han soldiers to get off the gate, and for a while, Song Guofu fell into a dilemma.

But Shi Mingxiong's shouting instantly pushed Song Guofu to the cusp, and the eyes of Zhang Jing, who was the red flag, changed when he saw it, and he didn't want to think about it, so he pulled out his knife and slashed it.

"Han dog!"

Song Guofu didn't mean to follow Shi Mingxiong to the Qi army at first, but he could dodge the knife, and he didn't even dare to fight back, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly:

"The minion has no intention of fleeing, never has the intention of fleeing-"

But before he finished speaking, the sword of Zhenghong Zhangjing had already been swung down.

Immediately after, with a "poof", Song Guofu's headless body spurted blood and fell, his head rolled in the city, and even had puzzled and panicked eyes.
