At this time, there were more and more thieves below, and it was not far from rushing into the castle.

Suddenly, a flame rose into the sky, slicing through an arc and flying towards the castle.

"Get out of the way!"

With Zhou Hao's shout, the flame tube fell on the city wall, and with a loud bang, the city wall was blown open a gap.

This is the legendary Divine Fire Crow!

Finally, I saw firearms in the Ming Dynasty, and a strong smell of nitrate and gunpowder diffused. Zhou Hao looked at the reddened piece of iron on the ground, which was a fragment of the Divine Fire Flying Crow.

Zhou Hao fought hard for a long time, and it was already late at this time, and he couldn't wait for Cheng Yue to lead his troops to come, seeing that there were less than a dozen soldiers left under his command.

"Oh my God, am I going to die here!"

Zhou Hao finally understood that Cheng Yue was just using himself to drag the bandits, while he was trying to keep the salt dart safe and go south, and was furious: "Dog, dare to play me." ”

No wonder Cheng Yue will be so good to me, it turns out that he has long wanted to benefit me to block the possible bandits for him, so that he can get out and leave, people are unpredictable, and he still wants to rely on Cheng Yue to make friends with powerful warlords in the late Ming Dynasty, alas!

For a moment, Zhou Hao had no fighting spirit, took out his pistol, followed by a cavalry to pass the war horse, jumped on the horse, and rushed down the slope at a gallop.

Zhou Hao let go of his horse and rushed out, and at this time, there were about hundreds of bandits, and when they saw the other party rushing towards him, they all raised their long knives and rushed towards Zhou Hao.

Anyone who came to kill Zhou Hao at close range was all shot to the ground, and everyone saw that Zhou Hao seemed to have a magical weapon, anyway, the "salt dart" had arrived, and the thieves and bandits gave up Zhou Hao and rushed to the mountain fort.

Zhou Hao looked at the situation, understood their thoughts, and was exactly what he wanted, so he just rode his horse and galloped all the way, turning around the mountain pass, it was a frank road, and secretly scolded Cheng Yue in his heart that he was not a person, there is no free lunch in the world, no wonder Cheng Yue and himself did not know each other, but he would treat himself like a brother, and he wanted to use himself as a shield.

Zhou Hao galloped all the way, and in less than half an hour, the towering city wall of Huai'an City appeared in his eyes.

Entering the city, Zhou Hao found a horse market, sold the horse, exchanged it for thirty taels of silver, prepared to have a meal, and then thought about the future future.

After dinner, coming out of the store, Zhou Hao walked alone on the street, extremely depressed in his heart, it was not easy to mix in ancient times, and suddenly remembered that his box was still in the cave in the wild, and he would wait until tomorrow when the bandits left to get it back.

Zhou Hao had a whim, and he didn't know if Su Qing'er would wait for him there, thinking of this, Zhou Hao hurriedly walked towards the reserved location.

In this rolling trend of history, now Su Qing'er has become his only spiritual sustenance, thinking of Tian Zizi, Zhou Hao can't slap himself.

After waiting in place for a long time, he still didn't see anyone coming, Zhou Hao was completely desperate, the vast sea of people, it seemed that the unstoppable tide of history, he really didn't know where his future was.

It's just that the streets are constantly passing through people, judging from the clothes, some are dressed in military clothes, some are dressed in flying fish suits, and after a while, they have passed a group of people, and in a moment they have passed several groups. At a glance, it was known that it was the court personnel, not only officers and soldiers, but also Jinyi Guard, Zhou Hao was shocked, something major happened.

Although the capital had been breached by Li Zicheng at this time, Huai'an still belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and these soldiers were obviously the troops of the Ming court.

Zhou Hao had been in the army for many years before, and he had feelings for the army, and he wanted to get acquainted with these troops, so why did they gallop past him at a gallop, without even looking at himself, and he didn't whip his big man with a horsewhip.

At this time, it was already dusk, and Zhou Hao was helpless to walk in an alleyway.

Suddenly, a young man in green clothes came rushing to him, but he was dressed in tatters, staggered over, and in front of Zhou Hao, he looked up and said to Zhou Hao: "This big brother, can you help me hide?" ”

Zhou Hao looked at the man, his expression was extremely flustered, and even with a hint of fear, seeing that Zhou Hao didn't seem to react, he said: "If this brother can help me, in the near future, Brother Ren will be prosperous and rich, and he will become the marquis." ”

When Zhou Hao heard this, his heart sank, could it be ......

"Your Excellency?"

"Below is the blessed king Zhu Yousong, the whole street has the Donglin Party sent by the Jinyi guard to chase and kill me, if Brother Ren helps me escape this catastrophe, if the sky is lucky, if the emperor ascends to the pole in the future, how much glory and wealth does Brother Ren want." The young man looked very anxious, afraid that Zhou Hao would not believe it, so he took out a jade plate from his arms and said, "This is the token of Fuwangfu, if Brother Ren doesn't believe it, you can look at it." ”

Is there really such a coincidence in history? Zhou Hao knew that after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, the blessed king Zhu Yousong took advantage of the power of the Jianghuai warlords to call the emperor Nanjing.

Zhou Hao finally knew what the officers and soldiers and Jinyi guards were doing on the street.

Although Zhou Hao couldn't understand the jade plate, this matter was in line with history, so he could only risk his life, anyway, he had nothing now, and said: "Okay, I'll help you, Your Highness, please." ”

Zhou Hao casually knocked on a door, ready to take Zhu Yousong into a house, and there was no place to hide in this alley.

"Who!"

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman came out. Zhou Hao stepped forward and said, "Guests who travel far away, spend one night." ”

When the woman heard this, she quickly opened the door, and Zhou Hao immediately stepped forward and said, "Give you fifty taels of silver." ”

The woman was shocked when she heard this, and seemed to not believe it, so Zhou Hao took out a silver ticket and handed it to the woman. The woman suddenly smiled, and said, "The two sons don't know, there is no spare room at home, if you insist on living, then I will think of a way for you." ”

This was originally given to Zhou Hao by Xu Yue, the dart head of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau, Zhou Hao had never cashed it, and he had all the silver tickets on his body.

The courtyard is not spacious, and it looks like a small family.

For a moment, only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

Zhu Yousong's face changed, Zhou Hao knew that it might be the officers and soldiers of Zhu Yousong who were pursuing, Zhu Yousong was the son of a royal family, who dared to attack Zhu Yousong so boldly, Zhou Hao really couldn't figure it out, but casually thought that at this time, the princes from all walks of life competed for the throne, plus the struggle between various forces at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this seems to be very reasonable.

Zhou Hao suddenly thought about it, today is April 18, and in history, Zhu Yousong seems to be in charge of Nanjing on April 27, and proclaimed emperor on May 1, only about ten days away from now.

Oh my!

When the two entered the house, the woman sat them down and served them tea.

The woman said: "I was originally from Shandong, in the past few years Shandong soldiers and bandits are rampant, my husband sold all the family property, the family moved here, my husband went out to serve as a soldier a year ago, and I am the only one in the family, and I have to live on the money earned from selling property a year." ”

At this time, I heard that the door next door was called open by a group of officers and soldiers, and a noisy sound came, and soon the voice of an officer and soldier was heard: "Is there a young man in Tsing Yi coming in from here?" ”

Because the houses on this street are close to each other, there is a voice next door that can be heard very clearly.

Apparently a house-to-house search. Zhu Yousong's face changed, and the teacup fell to the ground unconsciously.
