A few days later, outside the south gate of Chengdu, by the Fu River, a group of Daxi officials in official uniforms were standing in the Shili Pavilion, watching a team of ironclad sonorous cavalry go away, the smoke and dust raised on the official road had gradually subsided, and the black armor figure had gradually faded, but these civil officials were still standing in the pavilion and did not leave. [No pop-ups. 】

They were gathered together, worried and anxious, talking to each other and whispering something.

The two people standing in the head, one is thin and capable, with a white beard on his face, and a pair of small eyes that are shining, and at first glance he is a high-ranking official of the Imperial Sea who is scheming and deep in the city; The other man had a fat head and big ears, white skin and no beard, and was extremely well maintained like a eunuch, and his face was fat and almost dripping oil, and he was very red and rich.

The two of them wore the official uniforms of the first rank of Onishi, side by side in front, and the officials behind them did not dare to be with the two, which shows that the status of the two is very high.

These two people are the left and right prime ministers of the Daxi Dynasty, the thin one is the left prime minister Wang Zhaolin, and the fat one is the right prime minister Yan Ximing.

At this moment, the two of them had sad faces and worried eyes, looking at the direction in which the cavalry of the brigade disappeared, and sighed in unison.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, King Anxi is gone, the south is empty, the Ming army heard that it is still standing in Longquan Mountain, relying on the remaining batch of soldiers, can you resist it?" Yan Ximing shook his fat lips and asked.

His face was facing Wang Zhaolin, but his eyes drifted to a few generals on horseback outside the long pavilion, and those generals were talking and laughing loudly as if no one was around, listening to its contents, it seemed that they were discussing which Goolan Qinglou to drink in the evening, and who would treat them.

Wang Zhaolin glanced at the outside of the pavilion and replied indifferently: "Although the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are muddy, at least they can fight fiercely, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty know that you and I know that in addition to killing good and risking merit, there is no other ability, so there is nothing to worry about, what we should worry about is the emperor's side." ”

Yan Ximing said with some lack of confidence: "The king of Anxi led the Su guard army to the north, while the day is still early, he should be able to join the emperor before the Qing army, the emperor is invincible, the four princes are invincible in a hundred battles, gather together to fight with the Qing army, even if they can't win, at least they can be the enemy, we should be worry-free guarding this land in Sichuan." ”

Wang Zhaolin sneered and snorted: "Lord Right Minister, have you forgotten Li Zicheng?" In terms of military strength, on fierce generals, on strategists, which one is not stronger than our Onishi? Although you and I are important ministers of the West, but there is no one else here, I will give you a bottom, when the soldiers gathered, I have seen Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others under the command of Li Zicheng, it is really brilliant and strategic, the old man is not as good. ”

Yan Ximing said solemnly: "The one who can be looked up to by the left minister is definitely the top civil minister in the world." ”

Wang Zhaolin sighed and said: "Song Xiance and other assistants Li Zicheng fought all the way from Shaanxi to Beijing, the military strength is strong, the momentum is fierce, my Daxi can not match it, such a huge Dashun army, and still defeated by the Qing army, think about it, how can we Daxi be able to defeat it?" ”

Yan Ximing was terrified when he said a few words, and his overnourished face turned white, and he stammered: "You and I were in the palace that day, and I persuaded the emperor not to be in a hurry to be the enemy of the Qing soldiers, and the emperor insisted on going his own way and kept dissuading him, but now it's good, the Tartar Emperor is angry with thunder, and the army is pressing, let's ride a tiger hard, but what should we do?" ”

Wang Zhaolin snorted coldly: "The Qing soldiers are ruthless in killing, once the emperor's military horse is broken, once we are rich and rich, we will all come to naught, when the time comes, let alone a good life, I am afraid that we will not be able to save it!" ”

Yan Ximing's face turned even paler, his mouth trembled and he couldn't help shaking, and said eagerly: "Ah! How can this be good!? ”

Wang Zhaolin glanced at him, leaned close to his ear and said, "I have a word, I don't know if you would like to hear it?" ”

Yan Ximing comprehended and immediately replied softly: "Zuo Xiang is like my master's parents, how dare you disobey the good words of Jin Yu?" Zuo Xiang and mercy, save my family! ”

Wang Zhaolin lowered his voice and said softly in a tone that only two people could hear: "There has always been only a dead emperor, no dead courtiers, the change of dynasties, there are often in ancient times, you and I should follow the example of the ancient sages, be that tumbler-like Feng Dao, don't care who his emperor is, as long as we descend in advance, the Tartars come, or be our officials." ”

The corners of Yan Ximing's mouth twitched, and he smiled with a twitch: "It turns out that Zuo Xiang and I have the same heart, but I can't communicate with Tartar because I don't have a doorway." ”

Wang Zhaolin's skeletal face showed mysteriously, and J smiled and said softly: "You don't have to worry about this, the old man has already taken care of it, as long as you follow the old man, you will have your own benefits at that time!" ”

Yan Ximing bowed his hand and respectfully bowed to Wang Zhaolin: "It's all up to Zuo Xiang, Yan Xi's life will be handed over to Zuo Xiang." ”

Wang Zhaolin helped him weakly, Yan Ximing raised his body, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their worries were gone, only to feel that the Y haze in the sky was gone, and the clouds opened the sun, and it was a good day.

Outside the city of Chengdu, the Y plot is being achieved, and in the city, it is a panic, the former prosperous market is bleak and quiet, eight out of ten shops are closed, there are few people on the street, and occasionally pedestrians are in a hurry, the panic before the war has frightened the people of the city, and there is gossip that the emperor Zhang Xianzhong is angry that the people of Chengdu have bandits, and they want to kill all the people in the city, and make more than 100,000 people live in Chengdu, flee to most of the residents, Chengdu has been similar to a ghost city.

Chen Xiang was in a big car shop, dressed as a sackcloth in sackcloth, with a bunch of white linen on his head and a bun of straw for his long hair, and bast shoes on his feet, and he was packing a small bag.

The door to the hut was pushed open, and a figure flashed in.

Chen Xiang was startled, his right hand quickly touched his waist, and after seeing the person clearly, he let go of the hand holding the short knife on his waist with relief, and said dissatisfiedly: "How many times have you said it, come in and knock on the door, why can't you learn Xiao Lizi?" ”

The young man he called Xiao Lizi stuck out his tongue, knocked his finger on the door perfunctorily twice, and said with a hippie smile: "Chen stall, the brothers are ready, I will come in and ask, when will you leave?" ”

"What's the head? Who did you learn from? Chen Xiang was about the same age as Xiao Lizi, but he put on the appearance of a Shangguan and reprimanded: "In the Kuizhou Army secret spy team, the captain is called Shangguan, have you forgotten?" ”

Xiao Lizi saw that Chen Xiang was a little angry, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Don't dare to forget, I don't dare to forget, I just heard that the Jinyi guards in the court are called Shangguan like this, and after a while, I said it, and I won't next time." ”

Chen Xiang knotted the burden, put his back on his back, glanced at Xiao Lizi and said, "Did Jiang Li teach you that?" Turning around and rewarding him with a few big-eared scrapers, he has surrendered to the Kuizhou army, and he still doesn't follow our rules, isn't it safe? ”

After that, he strode out of the door and came to the courtyard of the big car shop, Xiao Lizi didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly followed him out.

The yard of the big car shop is huge, comparable to a small square, and the large and small cars are parked in a yard, and the cars are piled up like some forage and other goods, which are tied very tightly and covered with tarpaulin.

More than 20 sturdy men stood in the courtyard, all dressed in sackcloth and short clothes, and when they saw Chen Xiang come out, they all shouted together: "Captain! ”

One of them is a strong man, tall, with a short beard on his chin, yellow face and big ears, if there is someone in Zeng Ying's army, he can be recognized at a glance: this person is the Ming Dynasty Sichuan Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Jiang Li, who originally took refuge in Zeng Ying.

After Zeng Ying was destroyed by Wang Huan under the Diaoyu City, Jiang Li escaped in the chaos, hiding in the shadows and thinking about it, thinking that Wang Huan was playing the signboard of the general army of Kuizhou in the Ming Dynasty, and he was also an official general of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Huan felt that although Jiang Li was Zeng Ying's old man, the secret agent network in his hand had been formed and could be used completely, so he proposed that as long as Jiang Li moved his family into Wanshou City, the past could not be corrected, and he could also serve as a deputy captain in Chen Xiang's secret agent team, and all monthly salaries would be doubled according to what Zeng Ying gave.

Jiang Ideal is very simple, since he has followed Wang Huan, he no longer has two hearts, as long as he does things for Daming, who will he do it for? So he quickly sent all his family members to Wanshou City as hostages, and worked for Wang Huan with peace of mind, and it was common sense to take his family as hostages, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Jiang Li was very puzzled by the titles of captain and squad leader, and felt that it was not as decent as the title of the head of the stall in the past, so he often taught his subordinates to call him so.

Seeing Jiang Li, Chen Xiang glared at him, Jiang Li felt weak in his heart, Jiang Li was very stunned by this Wang Huan's brother, as soon as he saw Chen Xiang's face and Xiao Lizi's dodgy figure, he understood what was going on.

Without waiting for Chen Xiang to speak, he first opened his mouth to admit his mistake, and also asked for military law, which made Chen lose his temper instead, so he had to say a few words, and that's it.

Next, Chen Xiang began to explain the topic.

"After I leave, everything in Chengdu City will be handed over to Deputy Captain Jiang to deal with, and he will act with full authority." Chen Xiang said in a deep voice: "Captain Jiang, you must do your best in the things that should be done, when the adults attack the city, you can make less effort, you are a great achievement, don't lose the face of our secret agent team." ”

Jiang Li put away the face-licking smile just now, and said solemnly: "Captain, rest assured, the city is already a mess, our arrangements are meticulous and meticulous, and the brothers are all united in their determination to serve the adults, and they will definitely not make mistakes!" ”

Chen Xiang nodded, looked at Jiang Li seriously, and said sincerely: "Captain Jiang, my secret agent team are brothers who share life and death, you and I can be called brothers, if there is a change in the city, you can't do anything, don't force it, send someone to report to the adult, and then find a way." Life is precious, this is what adults often teach me, I give you the words as they are, I hope to cherish them! ”

Jiang Li was a little stunned, this kind of words, he would still hear this kind of thing for the first time, in the Jinyi Wei sequence, but there had never been a Shangguan to teach him this kind of words, shouldn't he say: Do whatever it takes to complete the task? Do you have to complete the mission even if you die? Otherwise, will it affect the family?

Chen Xiang felt that this was normal, he had been with Wang Huan for a long time, and the concept of being extremely kind to his own people had already taken root in his heart, he patted Jiang Li's shoulder heavily, turned around and waved his hand at the group of men, and shouted: "Go!" While it's still early, set off early, Hanzhong is still far away! ”

Jiang Li stood in place, with mixed tastes in his heart, he originally snickered at the rules of Wang Huan's army that were different from the ordinary military system of the Ming Dynasty, and felt that they were all dirt buns, but at this moment, he realized the warmth in it, and a simple sentence moved him inexplicably.

Chen Xiang got on a donkey cart, Xiao Lizi raised the long whip, pulled a beautiful whip flower, exploded in mid-air, the donkey tamed, and immediately slowly pulled up the cart and walked towards the open gate.

The convoy drove out of the door in an endless stream, like an ordinary large convoy, on the stone street, Jiang Li took a few secret agent team leaders who stayed behind, and sent them out of the door.

The convoy creaked against the stone slabs, Jiang Li and the others watched them go away, then looked left and right, retracted into the door, and closed the gate.
