Nanjing City, Shangshu Mansion.

At this moment, the city of Nanjing has long been full of messes, whether ordinary people or merchants and gentry, either close the door and hide at home with a faint hope, or take advantage of the chaos to flee and cause trouble in Nanjing.

Shangshufu was no exception, but the servants and maids who had been in order were hurrying back and forth, and when they looked closely, many of them were carrying large bags and small bags, which contained all kinds of treasures and gold and silver that could be carried, and rushed out of the door.

"Shi Shangshu, there is nothing to do, Xu Hongji is afraid that he has already fled, and he is left in Qingshan, not afraid that there will be no firewood!"

"Yes, Shangshu, quickly withdraw, go from Shuicheng to Yangzhou!"

Many civil officials are painstakingly persuading Shi Kefa and want him to go to the river together, but Shi Kefa, who has always been hesitant in political affairs, is extremely determined at this time.

I saw him wave his sleeves and knock off other people's hands, and said resolutely:

"The city of Nanjing is broken, as the secretary of the military department, how can you abandon the city and flee!?" Speaking of this, Shi Kefa glanced around, took a few steps forward, picked up his sword and jumped into the hall, pulled his neck and shouted:

"Who dares to fight against the rebel thief with Ben Shangshu?"

Hearing this, the civil officials behind them all scoffed, knowing that today, why bother in the first place, when the eunuch Liu and Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, discussed countermeasures not long ago.

Now it's a good thing, the inner city and the outer city have been breached, and the 200,000 troops in Shandong have entered the city, and the city is already in chaos.

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, you want to die, we don't have that heart!

Shi Kefa flickered a group of scribes and servants to fight to the death with him, and it seemed that in the eyes of these low-level people, he was quite loved, but the civil officials in the Shangshu Mansion behind him glanced at each other and joined the ranks of the escapees without looking back.

These people didn't say much, and it seemed that everything was silent.

"Peng—"

Shi Kefa had just walked a few steps with the people, and suddenly heard a loud noise, and everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, followed by the sound of dense and heavy footsteps outside the door.

A Shandong army general wearing crimson armor and a leg skirt around his waist walked in the door, and looked around with tiger eyes, but this person was Dong Youyin, one of the four generals, only to hear him shout:

"Anton is waiting for the military order, no one in the Shangshu Mansion can go out for a step, and the violator will be beheaded!"

"Presumptuous, traitor!" Shi Kefa stepped forward with his sword and shouted and swung a sword.

Don't look at Dong Youyin, who is tall and big, but he is flexible and flexible, and he dodges this sword sideways very easily, and then kicks without hesitation.

With a bang, Shi Kefa fell face down, and the sword in his hand also fell to the ground, all of which happened between lightning and flint, and the surrounding scribes and servants did not react.

At this time, Dong Youyin pulled out half of the steel knife in his hand, revealing a cold light, and said in a deep voice:

"Come on, tie me up!"

"How dare you, thief, how dare you !?" Shi Kefa kept struggling, but the soldiers of the Shandong Army held him down like wolves, unable to move at all, and soon only one mouth was left to scold.

Dong Youyin walked into Shangshu Mansion and glanced around, his heart was really luxuriously decorated, much better than his own home, he glanced at the scribes and servants who followed Shi Kefa out, and said lightly:

"If you don't want to die, go back and stay alive!"

"Run, Run......"

These people saw the undisguised killing intent in each other's eyes, and they were so frightened that their legs weakened, and the little intention of serving death when they mentioned it immediately came to naught, and they hurriedly ran back to the main hall.

......

At the same time, Liu Fu, the eunuch guarding the Liu Mansion and Nanzhili Town, was constantly wandering in the main hall, and every once in a while, a little eunuch ran in to report the battle situation.

After hearing this, Liu Fu would send someone to investigate again, rubbing his hands back and forth in the main hall and muttering something.

It seems that he is more concerned than Shi Kefa about resisting the entry of the Shandong army into the city.

"Lord Liu!" There was a voice outside the door, but it didn't sound like a little eunuch, Liu Fu raised his eyes and saw that it was Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and hurriedly greeted him and asked:

"Wei Guogong, what kind of wind blew you here?"

Xu Hongji's face was full of urgency, and he walked in with more than a dozen family members in a hurry, and said to him:

"Lord Liu, the city has been broken, the Shandong thief army has attacked, my father saw a group of people and horses going to Shangshu Mansion and Gongyuan, let's go out of the city and face south to move the rescue troops!"

Xu Hongji's idea is very good, he and Liu Fu are the eunuchs of Nanzhili Town, and the other is the head of the Jiangnan Xunqi, as long as they can escape, they will definitely be able to pull out the official army in Jiangnan immediately.

However, Liu Fu was still a little hesitant, can things really be so simple, the Shandong army is 200,000 horses, even if it runs out, how far can it go.

He has been a eunuch in Nanzhili for so many years, and his house and family wealth are in Nanjing City, so he never thought that anyone would come to Nanjing in this peaceful world.

It can be said that everything that guards the eunuch Liu Fu is pressed in the city of Nanjing, and there is naturally this reason for being able to make up his mind to help the war.

"This time the Shandong thief army is coming rapidly, just like the surprise attack on Hetuala, most of the officers and soldiers in the city have become rebels, don't hesitate at this time, Lord Liu!"

"Okay, okay, our family, our family understands..."

Liu Fu had already understood in his heart that although he was rushing out with Xu Hongji in a panic, how could he bear to let go of everything in this Nanjing City, and his heart was still wavering.

After walking a few steps, Liu Fu suddenly stopped, changed his eyes at a cronie, and saw the cronies running out of the back door, he looked at Xu Hongji and said viciously:

"Come on, arrest this guy for our family!"

All of a sudden, the eunuchs and servants inside and outside Liu Fu surrounded Xu Hongji and his party, Xu Hongji was full of incomprehension, and said angrily:

"Father-in-law Liu, you ——?"

"Wei Guogong, you can let go of everything in this Nanjing City, our family can't do it!" Speaking of this, Liu Fu walked back to the main hall and took a house of oolong tea, took a sip before continuing:

"Our eunuch is still useful to Wang Zheng, and your identity as the Duke of Wei is even more useful to Anton Hou, so I can only borrow your name as the Duke of Wei to fight."

Xu Hongji sneered again and again, spat at him fiercely, and said:

"Bengong Yingming I, I didn't think that I was now in the hands of a villain like you, do you think Wang Zheng can let you go?"

"Of course not!"

Liu Fu was categorical, threw the teacup to the ground, and said:

"Wang Zheng will not let our family go, but he will not take our family's life, at most he will not ask about the world and live for a long time."

"You're different, Wei Guogong, he'll kill you first!"

Saying that, Liu Fu was also full of reluctance, and continued:

"Wei Guogong, if you want to hate, you will hate Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi, these literati, if you want to hate you, you will hate Zhao Zhilong, these noble relatives, our family fully supported you to defend the city, and there has not been a single rebellion among the eunuchs."

"Do you think that it was only Xin Chengbo himself who opened the city for the Shandong army? Without the common rebellion of many people, how could more than a dozen gates in this outer city be opened together, and Zhao Zhilong was not so powerful? ”

Xu Hongji suddenly remembered that Zhao Zhilong and other relatives kept prevaricating to send private soldiers to help the war, he didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he looks at it, it seems that it was premeditated.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Huang Yang walked in, first respectfully waved at Xu Hongji, and then said:

"Duke Wei, Lord Hou invites you to the Imperial City!"
