The sky was just dawning. Zhilan got up and washed up and began to pack up Li Zhen's bags.

After some picking, the sky was dawning.

In the courtyard, Li Zhen and Zhilan held hands and looked at each other, silent things.

He took a deep breath, reached out to take the packed bag from Zhilan's hand, his eyes fell on Zhilan's already bulging belly, and he reached out and touched it gently, as if he had touched the two little ones. Li Zhen squatted down and whispered: "Good son, you must be obedient and obedient, you are not allowed to toss your mother, you must be obedient." ”

Zhilan listened to Li Zhen's words, and her eyes were full of tears.

Reluctant!

She was reluctant to let Li Zhen leave!

Li Zhenxu muttered for a while before standing up, stretched out his hand to hold Zhilan's soft wattle, and said softly: "I will definitely rush back before the child is born, and I will definitely see the child born with my own eyes, and wait for me to come back." ”

Zhilan nodded heavily, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

She had a thousand words, but she couldn't say them.

Li Zhen also had a strong reluctance, but had to leave. He gritted his teeth, let go of Zhilan's hand, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard. Zhilan finally couldn't help it, rushed to the gate of the courtyard like a fly, and said loudly: "Husband, come back early." ”

Li Zhen stopped but didn't look back.

He stood there for a moment, then walked forward without looking back.

It's not that I don't want to turn back, it's that I don't know how to face it!

Li Zhen was a little depressed, but he still cheered up and came to the hall with a smile. At this time, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Huang Qiang, Yang Banhou and the twenty special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion were all ready. They all hid the three-edged thorns, carried guns on their backs, and waited for Li Zhen to speak.

"Let's go!"

Li Zhen gave an order, and all the people immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Wait!"

When Li Zhen walked out with everyone, an old voice came from behind him. Li Zhen looked back and found that Gui Liang had strode out. Gui Liang looked serious, and said unhurriedly: "Zhilan is pregnant, so it is not suitable to send you." I hope that after you rebuild the camp in Jiangbei, you can exterminate the bandits as soon as possible and reunite with your wife and children. ”

Li Zhen nodded and did not refuse.

The group left Shangshu Mansion and ran towards the city gate.

When he came to the city gate, Li Zhen found that there was already a team of men and horses waiting here.

The person at the head is the fourteenth young man in Dongcheng. He waited at the gate of the city with more than ten entourages, and when he saw Li Zhen coming on horseback, the fourteenth young man immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Li is leaving Beijing to take office, why don't you inform me." Well, you and I are friends who share weal and woe, and now that you are leaving Beijing, how can I not give it a ride? ”

Li Zhen smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for the fourteenth year!" ”

As the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling was heard in the city.

Immediately, more than a dozen people appeared in sight.

Li Zhen followed the prestige and found that the person who came was the great eunuch Han Laiyu. He was dressed and arrived with a dozen followers. Han Laiyu rode a horse and stopped in front of Li Zhen, shook the dust in his hand, and said with a smile: "Admiral Li, the emperor thought that you would leave today, and specially asked the miscellaneous family to send you off." The emperor said that what he promised you would not change, and I hope you can exterminate the bandits. ”

A trace of doubt flashed between Gui Liang's eyebrows, I don't know what Xianfeng promised?

Li Zhen expressed his gratitude, talked to Han Laiyu for a while, and then rode out of the city. The group galloped quickly outside the city, running for about fifteen minutes, Gui Liang, Fourteen Shao, and Han Laiyu were still following, and still had no intention of stopping and returning to Beijing. Li Zhen stopped, looked at the three people who followed him, clenched his fists and said, "Father-in-law, Father-in-law Han, fourteenth brother, just send it here." ”

Fourteen Shao shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Brother Li, I have nothing to do today, and sending you away should be out of the city to play." Let's go, I'll give you another ride, anyway, there is time. After a pause, the fourteenth young man looked at Han Laiyu and Gui Liang, and continued: "Lord Gui Liang and Han Gonggong are busy with affairs, so there is no need to send them again, I will send them alone." ”

Gui Liang shook his head and said, "It's okay, the old man has nothing to do, so I'll send another section." ”

Han Laiyu saw that Gui Liang and the Fourteenth Young Man were going to continue to send, and it was definitely impossible for him to retreat, so he said loudly: "Let's go, it is difficult for the miscellaneous family to leave the palace and take a good look at the mountains and rivers outside Beijing." ”

Li Zhen saw that the three of them insisted, did not persuade them, and continued to move forward.

An hour later, Li Zhen stopped.

It is already some distance away from Beijing City, and I don't know where to send it if I send it again. Especially if Han Laiyu has to go back to the palace to make a business, it is not a way to follow him all the time. Li Zhen clenched his fists and said, "Let's send it here, go back." Next, I and my men hurried with all our might, and the sooner we arrived in Guangzhou, we could lead our troops north to suppress the bandits. ”

Gui Liang glanced at the surrounding environment, bowed his head slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said, "In this case, the old man will be sent here." The old man wishes you a smooth journey and exterminate the bandits as soon as possible. ”

Fourteen Shao said: "Brother Li, go all the way. ”

Han Laiyu opened his mouth to speak, but heard Yang Banhou yell: "Be careful, a group of black-clothed people appear ahead." This sentence immediately alerted all the soldiers. Everyone looked around, and saw a group of people in black appear in front of them. These black-clothed men were all running on foot, armed with long swords, and their number was not large, about twenty people.

Seeing this, Han Laiyu was also vigilant.

He was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't expect to meet an assassin at this time.

The fourteenth young man yelled: "Be careful! ”

Seeing this, Gui Liang's expression was calm, without the slightest flustery, but a smile flashed on his face. He looked at the soldiers under Li Zhen's command who were already on guard, and ordered in a deep voice: "Hongyi, catch alive." The old man wants to see who dares to assassinate the old man's son-in-law. ”

Han Laiyu also said: "Yes, we have to catch the mouth alive and see who is in such a hurry to send them to death." ”

Li Zhen nodded and ordered: "All of them are captured alive and left alive." ”

After Huang Qiang and Yang Banhou received the order, they gave up charging on horseback, and turned over and dismounted with the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to fight. They all carried their guns on their backs, took them out, loaded them with bayonets, and rushed forward quickly. Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan looked at each other, nodded secretly, and also turned over and dismounted and rushed forward.

Compared to the rest of the people, the two old men were bare-handed and did not use weapons.

Han Laiyu frowned and said, "Admiral Li, how can these two old men go with them to join in the fun." If the two of them go out on a business trip, it will affect the capture of these men in black. ”

Gui Liang also said in a deep voice: "Hongyi, let the two come back immediately." ”

Li Zhen chuckled and shook his head and said, "Father-in-law Han and father-in-law, don't underestimate the two old men. They are definitely more powerful than the soldiers under my command, and there will be no problem. ”

The two of them were suspicious, and looked at Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan with their eyes.

At this time, Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan had already rushed to the front of the man in black. Although the two of them are old, they are in a vigorous posture, and they are not weaker than young people, and they are killed in an instant.

This situation stunned both Han Laiyu and Gui Liang.

Yang Luchan smashed into the man in black, pinched his palms into fists, or moved and blocked, or hammered, each punch was full of strength. A punch was struck, and a man in black immediately fell. He walked among the men in black, as if he was wandering in his own backyard, without encountering any obstacles, and shuttled among the men in black at will.

"Death, old man!"

A black-clothed ** roared and stabbed at Yang Luchan with a sword.

"Boy, you're far behind!"

Yang Luchan's eyes flashed, his hands turned into palms, and he clamped the blade of the sword in his palm like lightning, so that the long sword of the man in black could not move. He leaned forward, his hands waving out instantly.

"Smack!!"

Yang Luchan slapped his palm on the man in black, knocking the man in black to the ground and fainting.

On the other side, Dong Haichuan is also extremely fierce.

Dong Haichuan stepped on the gossip and kept shuttling among the people in black. His Bagua Fist is unpredictable, light and agile, but also has great lethality. I only heard a popping sound, and in the blink of an eye, four or five men in black fell. The combat effectiveness of Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan is no less than that of twenty soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion.

Such a situation surprised Gui Liang and Han Laiyu even more.

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion did not have the demonic methods of Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, and they were also extremely powerful. They smashed into the man in black, immediately suppressed each other, and defeated the man in black like an autumn wind sweeping leaves.

In less than three minutes, all the men in black fell.

Li Zhen said: "Bring people over!" ”

Immediately, all the men in black who assassinated him were arrested.

Li Zhen asked in a deep voice: "Say, who asked you to assassinate this official?" ”

All the men in black remained silent and did not speak.

Gui Liang interjected and said, "You assassinated Lord Admiral, and you should be punished for your crimes. If you explain things clearly, you may be spared death. If you insist on not giving an account, not only will you be put to death, but your family will also be implicated. There are more than 20 of you, and there are always one or two who have relatives. I hope you will think it through, and don't cause a tragedy because of a mistake in thought. ”

"I said, I said, it was Bader who made us do it."

Among the men in black, there was suddenly a ** voice.

After Gui Liang heard this, his eyes flashed with satisfaction. The change in his expression did not hide from Li Zhen, which made Li Zhen very strange. Especially when Li Zhen saw the expression on Gui Liang's face, he chuckled in his heart. He didn't understand what was going on in this matter, but it must have something to do with Gui Liang, because Gui Liang wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Du Han.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen's heart chilled.

This old man can really do anything.

Li Zhen didn't want to stay any longer, and said, "Father-in-law, they will be handed over to you to deal with, and I will leave." ”

Han Laiyu interjected and said: "Admiral Li has gone all the way, and the miscellaneous family will report this matter to the emperor, seek justice for Admiral Li, and let those who should be punished be punished." ”

Han Laiyu and Li Zhen were standing in the same boat, and they also planned to help Li Zhen.

When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately expressed his gratitude.

If this matter is stabbed into the hands of the emperor, it will be impossible to calm the matter. Xianfeng pinned his hopes on Li Zhen to exterminate the bandits, which is the most important thing for Xianfeng at present. Bader didn't care about the overall situation to assassinate Li Zhen, and he had already committed Xianfeng's taboo. In Xianfeng's eyes, everything must be postponed in front of the bandits, and now Bader has made a move, touching Xianfeng's bottom line.

Li Zhen was the key to Xianfeng's suppression of bandits, and he did not allow anyone to be unfavorable to Li Zhen.

It is foreseeable that Bader will be seriously expelled, and Duhan and others will also be implicated.
