"This ...... Where is this? ”

In the sound of the wheeling car, Chongzhen woke up. Feeling his body swaying slightly, he initially thought he was on the shoulders of the palace, but then he knew he was on the road.

On the way to escape, and on the way to the unknown direction.

"Your Majesty, General Fang Caitian said that he will go to Tongzhou soon."

Empress Zhou helped Chongzhen sit up, Chongzhen got up and looked around, they were in a narrow carriage just now he was sleeping on Empress Zhou's legs.

The seat under him was padded with thick cotton pads and a quilt, so it wasn't too cold. Chongzhen touched the back of his neck, there was still a faint pain there, he lifted the curtain and looked out.

Outside, there are yellow fields.

Chongzhen grew up in the palace since he was a child and has never been far away, and for him, things outside are both strange and frightening. He looked at the gray field, and the shadows of the equally gray mountains in the distance: are these his rivers?

Infinite rivers and mountains, sometimes easy to see, sometimes difficult.

For some reason, this noun of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, came to his mind at this time, and he settled down and tried to cheer himself up: he is not a faint master like Li Yu, and he ......

At this moment, he saw the people on the side of the road staring at the convoy in a daze.

It was a beggar, his hand holding a broken bowl trembling in the cold wind, and his clothes were so ragged that they were no longer enough to withstand the howling north wind. His face was full of cracks, and his eyes were swollen, as if he had been beaten.

These are his people.

Watching this person stunned by the convoy in an instant, Chongzhen suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty is awake?" The tiger guard, who was guarding the car, saw him stick his head out. reported to Tian Boguang, Tian Boguang drove the horse to catch up, and made a salute on the horse, as if the thing of slashing Chongzhen with one palm had never happened.

Chongzhen raised his eyes and looked at Tian Boguang, with mixed feelings in his heart.

In addition to jealousy and doubts, he also felt a little relieved in his heart. He was knocked unconscious and taken out of the capital, like this. It was not his intention to leave the capital, but the rudeness of his subordinates.

"There is General Lao, this time I went to see Nanhaibo. I'm sure I'll let him reward you heavily. He nodded.

This person is Yu Guozhen's cronies, and it is difficult for him to impress him with his name, so he can only slowly draw pictures.

"Your Majesty is wrong. We are not here to save His Majesty's family for any reward. Tian Boguang laughed happily, and he had not lost a single person so far, which made him very happy: "We officials ...... Oh, that's what you said Nanhai Bo said, there are at least three reasons to save Your Majesty from dying in Jingshi. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it."

"First, Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China. Let me be dressed in Huaxia again, and he has contributed to Huaxia. ”

This reason made Chongzhen very emotional, judging from his understanding of Yu Guozhen, it was sincere. Yu Guozhen started with "Storm Collection" and "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous". He attaches great importance to the distinction of Huayi, and has personally written more than once to express that the merits of Emperor Taizu in recovering the Han family can be compared with Dayu's water control and ancestral dragon unification. At that time, there were also Confucian scholars who said that putting Taizu and Qin Shihuang, the tyrant, together was to slander the emperor and ask the court to treat Yu Guozhen's crime, which was suppressed by Chongzhen.

"It turned out that it was still the blessing of the ancestors." He thought to himself.

"Second. Your Majesty, you have been diligent and thrifty since you ascended the throne, although you have no merits in the world, but you also have hard work, even if you lose the country, it is not caused by Your Majesty's loss of morality, the situation dictates it. If His Majesty is born after becoming an ancestor, he will be no less inferior than the Chinese language and Han Jing. Therefore, Your Majesty should not die unjustly. ”

"I still have some ...... I should really thank Nanhai Bo for his compliment. ”

There was some strong ridicule in Chongzhen's words, but there was a great resonance in his heart. The country has reached this point, it's not that he, the emperor, is not bad, but it's all someone else's fault!

Knowing that Chongzhen misunderstood Yu Guozhen's meaning, Tian Boguang didn't bother to explain, and said: "Third, Your Majesty is not willing to come here, and I want to see the fate of those who really make the country what it is today." The clan, the gentry, the generals, the officials, they are intertwined, plus the eunuchs, wealthy merchants, and gangs from all walks of life who are attached to them, these people should be responsible for the fall of China, and the day when Your Majesty sees these people bear the consequences is also a wish of our officials. ”

This reason made Chongzhen feel confused, and after a while, he consciously understood: "It turns out that Nanhai Bo wants to learn Cao Cao's old tricks and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”

Someone made this suggestion, but it was vetoed by Nanhaibo. Your Majesty rest assured, the crown prince and the other three princes are all in the car behind, if Your Majesty wants to see them, I can let them come up. ”

Tian Boguang didn't directly explain what he meant, but Chongzhen was not stupid, and immediately understood that if he just wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the young prince would be much easier to control than him, an adult who had been an emperor for fifteen years!

"Alas......"

Chongzhen was about to put down the curtain, but at this moment, Zheng Zhifeng drove his horse and squeezed over, and saluted him excitedly on the horse: "Minister Zheng Zhifeng knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, please forgive the ministers for not being able to salute in armor!" ”

Chongzhen was stunned when he saw his clothes that were obviously different from Huwei's, and then noticed that there were more than 20 people around him who were wearing clothes different from Huwei's, and his heart moved: "The Qing family's name is Zheng Zhifeng...... Where did you come from? ”

"The minister is a martial artist in Chongzhen's thirteenth year, and his brother is Zheng Zhilong, the former chief soldier, and this young man is the minister's nephew, Zheng Sen, who has been a talented man in Chongzhen's eleventh year."

"Nan'an Zheng Clan?" Chongzhen was extremely surprised when he heard this, he glanced at Tian Boguang and then at Zheng Zhifeng.

He knew the grievances between Yu Guozhen and the Zheng family, and it was the fall of the Zheng family that made him understand that he could no longer restrain Yu Guozhen. Yu Guozhen, who has the most powerful force in the Eastern Sea, is already in an invincible position that can be attacked and defended, and he can only be retaliated by Yu Guozhen if he puts pressure on him, so he has to compromise with Yu Guozhen and allow Yu Guozhen to absorb a large number of immigrants and dump products.

In this way, Zheng Zhilong has such a deep feud with Zheng Sen and Yu Guozhen, why did he get together?

"The courtiers have a personal enmity with Nanhaibo. Escorting is a state affair, and ministers dare not harm state affairs because of personal enmity. Zheng Zhifeng said excitedly: "To be able to see His Majesty's holy face in person, this life is worthwhile!" ”

"Ah...... I have ...... Nanhai Bo and you, a loyal minister of state affairs, I am also worthy of this life. Chongzhen hesitated slightly, and then said: "I ordered you to be the chief soldier, escort you, and everything on the way is simple." Don't be surprised. ”

"If the minister doesn't dare, the minister will be crushed to repay His Majesty's kindness!" Zheng Zhifeng said.

Tian Boguang just smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at this scene. In his eyes, this scene was somewhat comical.

Chongzhen and Zheng Zhifeng, but they are all pretending to be confused.

Chongzhen's chin gestured. Then the curtains were lowered and disappeared into the carriage. Tian Boguang and Zheng Zhifeng looked at each other, Zheng Zhifeng was a little sneering, and Tian Boguang sneered even more.

"Park, park!"

At this moment, behind them, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and after a while, the cries of gossip were heard. Tian Boguang turned his head and saw the smoke and dust on the road. muttered, "Don't give up yet!" ”

"What's wrong?" Chongzhen also heard the movement, lifted the curtain and asked.

"It was the thieves who chased after me, and I don't know if I knew that His Majesty was rescued by us, or if I was just taught a lesson when I left the city." Tian Boguang smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, it seems that there are only three or four thousand horsemen chasing after you." It's not worth mentioning, just look at us thieves. ”

"Three or four thousand riders...... There are only two hundred horsemen on the Qing family's side, and the enemy is outnumbered, so it is better to escape quickly. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the officials sent us to Beijing, how can we not make arrangements - Your Majesty is interested. You can meet our Tiger Guard to kill the enemy. ”

Zheng Zhifeng originally thought that he would connect the carts to form a car formation, but unexpectedly, Tian Boguang just drove the cart to the front, and his army was protecting the vehicle in the middle.

"Dealing with cavalry like this......" Zheng Zhifeng felt a little incredible, whether it was the Tiger Guard's successive victories made Tian Boguang a little careless.

It was Gao Yigong who caught up, he chased for more than 20 miles, and it was noon when he saw the car, which made him extremely anxious. finally captured the capital, thinking that King Chuang had already divided the gold and silver in the city, but they had to toss in the cold wind, how could they not harbor a fire in their hearts!

But when he saw the costumes of these people, he was immediately shocked: Tiger Guard!

Gao Yigong, who was once beaten by the Tiger Guard in Chu'zhou, knows how powerful the Tiger Guard is, and it looks like there are only about three hundred Tiger Guards in front of him, but in fact, he must not be regarded as a combat power of three hundred people!

Immediately afterwards, he saw one of the tiger guards holding up a big banner, and the four words on the flag were "Xinxiang Tiger Guard".

The banner of the winged tiger is now famous all over the world, and even if you can't read, when you see this flag, you can understand who the three hundred horsemen are guarding here.

Gao Yigong immediately ordered to rein in the horse.

After running wildly for so long, even if you want to attack, you have to let the horse rest, not to mention that there is a world-famous tiger guard on the opposite side, so you need to be more cautious.

"But Nanhai Bo is here?" He motioned for a Chuang army to step forward and asked, "The general under the command of King Chuang is Gao Yigong, and he asks to see Nanhai Bo." ”

"Nanhai Bo is not here, it's me here, Tian Boguang." Tian Boguang grinned: "Gao Yigong, I have heard that the general under Gao Yingxiang has never seen it outside the city of Chu'zhou, and I have always had some regrets, but I saw it today, just in time!" ”

Gao Yigong also heard the other party's words, and when he heard that it was "Tian Boguang", his heart was cold again.

For the Chuang army, the first terrifying among the Tiger Guard generals is the Mighty Bull Demon King Qi Niu, and the second is the double knife Tian Boguang. In the hands of these two generals, they have all suffered a lot, and these two generals are all the kind of heroes who can kill in and out of thousands of people!

is a hero like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in the storytelling book, which one is not afraid?

Of course, Gao Yigong would not be scared away, he settled down, hesitated slightly, and stepped forward in person: "Tian Boguang, I just ask, is it a prince in the car, if it is not a prince, you can go by yourself, if it is a prince, you have to stay today!" ”

"What are you, and you dare to ask me?" Tian Boguang beckoned: "If you want to fight, you will come!" ”

The tiger guards here were on the horse, and they all raised their riding spears, and Gao Yigong's forehead jumped, the other party was so arrogant, so that he wondered who was the rebel thief.

No fighting!
