The smoke rushed straight towards Zhou Hao's face, Zhou Hao could barely open his eyes, ran through a few cobblestone paths, and arrived at a fenced corridor.

Some of the houses were on fire, and there was a loud sound, and several places collapsed, splashing countless sparks, scattering in all directions.

Zhou Hao walked around, being squeezed around by the crowd of people who kept coming and going, and only heard all kinds of sounds in the room, many of which sounded like the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking.

Could it be that Li Zicheng's army has already reached Huai'an, and the history books say that at this time, wasn't Li Zicheng going north to crusade against Wu Sangui?

Zhou Hao was a little flustered, how did he know that a few days ago, Li Zicheng ordered the Dashun army in the Jianghuai area to quickly sack the Jianghuai giants and gentry, and then retreated to Xi'an with the looted property, because Li Zicheng felt that the Qing army was going south to enter the Central Plains in the near future, and it was better to go into his own hands than these goods to fall into the hands of the Manchus.

Suddenly, dozens of soldiers chased a man from the corridor and rushed towards Zhou Hao.

In the thick smoke, I vaguely saw that the person being chased was dressed in a brocade robe, and when he came to Zhou Hao, he grabbed Zhou Hao's shirt: "Big man, save me, there will be heavy thanks in the future!" ”

The voice was hoarse, sharp and thin, and Zhou Hao had goosebumps on his body when he heard it, could it be that this person was a eunuch.

Out of instinct, Zhou Hao quickly took out a pistol, and shot at the soldier in front of him, and then pulled the brocade-robed man forward quickly, and the soldier in front fell in response.

Zhou Hao ran and asked, "You are Father-in-law Lu, right?" ”

The brocade-robed man was surprised: "Exactly, in Xia Lu Jiude, you are the person under General Liu Zeqing?" ”

At this time, Zhou Hao was completely surprised, Lu Jiude! Now whether Lu Jiude is his own life-saving straw, or is he Lu Jiude's life-saving straw, Zhou Hao, who was still complaining about God just now, knelt down and thanked God at this time.

The future is finally bright!

Zhou Hao's tiredness was swept away, and he simply picked up Lu Jiude and rushed around to kill.

At this time, the entire building of the villa was almost burning, thick smoke was filled, and the front door of the villa was guarded by Liu Zeqing's people, and Zhou Hao decided to rush out through the back door.

Because the entire villa complex is on a gentle slope, when Zhou Hao rushed to the back of the villa, he was already panting like a cow, and Zhou Hao didn't have time to rest, but this wall was five meters high, how to climb over the wall.

When Zhou Hao was so anxious that he was spinning back and forth on the ground, there was a stone well not far in front of him, and the rope went straight into the well, Zhou Hao was shocked, quickly pulled out the rope, tied the rope to Lu Jiude's body, and jumped on the wall with light body kung fu, and then put Lu Jiuda on the wall.

Finally climbed out of the wall, far away from the battlefield of fire, Lu Jiude repeatedly waved to Zhou Hao: "If it weren't for the big man, this old bone would have been killed by thieves." ”

Zhou Hao calmed down and took a breath, and then he took a closer look at Lu De's face, there was a red on his forehead, which was similar to what he remembered in the history books, because Lu Jiude had a red birthmark on his forehead, so it was called "red in the womb", and said: "I don't know where this bandit dares to burn and rob in his father-in-law's villa?" ”

Lu Jiude said: "It's Luo Rucai's dog under Li Chuang's thief, I don't know where General Liu Zeqing is?" ”

Zhou Hao said: "Under is not the people under General Liu Zeqing, under the people under the Fu King, now all the forces support the vassal kings, according to the Ming Dynasty etiquette law, Emperor Chongzhen died, should be supervised by the Fu King Nanjing, and now the Fu King is weak, almost facing the disaster of the blade, and please also ask the father-in-law to see the face of Zheng Guifei back then, to help the Fu King." ”

Zhou Hao knew that Lu Jiude, as a eunuch of the Fengyang garrison, had a certain effect on the generals of Jianghuai Town, so he no longer concealed it and dragged it out.

When Lu Jiude heard this, he was surprised and said, "Where is King Fu now?" ”

Zhou Hao took out a piece of peiyu given to him by King Fu, handed it to Lu Jiude, and said: "King Fu is now in a deserted village outside the city, according to King Fu, this was given by you when he was born, you see if it is." ”

Lu Jiude took this piece of Pei Cuiyu, nodded and said: "Exactly, a few days ago, Liu Zeqing sent someone to tell me that King Fu had been killed by Li Zicheng's men, and today I was specially invited to the Governor's Mansion to discuss the plan of establishing King Lu." ”

Zhou Hao was shocked, if it weren't for the official sedan chair that stopped Liu Zeqing on the street today, it was really possible that King Lu would really be in charge of Nanjing, history is so weird.

Zhou Hao said: "Now ask my father-in-law to go to the deserted village to see King Fu, and then make a decision." ”

Lu Jiude hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! ”

If it weren't for Lu Jiude beside him, Zhou Hao would have knelt down and thanked God for finding Lu Jiude, almost half of the success.

Lu Jiude was the Fengyang garrison eunuch at that time, with great power and could mobilize the armies of the four towns of Jianghuai. At that time, Lu Jiude was a little eunuch who served Zhu Yousong's grandmother Zheng Guifei, and later rose to the top under the care of Zheng Guifei, and finally became the Fengyang garrison eunuch. Therefore, Lu Jiude has always regarded King Fu's family as his maiden family, and Zhu Yousong also grew up under his watch.

As for this, Zhou Hao also knows it very well.

On the avenue outside Huai'an, a horse-drawn carriage galloped forward.

Che Zhou Hao's heart fluctuated a lot, at most it took more than ten years, and he could achieve a gorgeous turn, with his relationship with Zhu Tongsong in the past few days, at least become a marquis, and he could really experience the feeling of being Tian Shelang and ascending to Tianzitang at dusk.

The carriage stopped in front of the deserted village, and Zhou Hao helped Lu Jiude get out of the car and walked straight to the room where Zhu Yousong was.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the slanting sun shone into the room through the broken paper window, and Zhu Yousong was sitting on his knees, as if he was contemplating something.

When Lu Jiude saw Zhu Yousong at first glance, he couldn't hide his excitement, and said emotionally: "His Royal Highness King Fu! ”

Zhu Yousong suddenly turned around, and seemed to be stunned, stayed for a moment, and threw himself into Lu Jiude's arms, losing his voice and becoming painful.

"Since the old slave Li Thief burned down the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang, he thought that he would never see His Highness again."

Zhu Yousong also couldn't cry, and said in a lost voice: "If it weren't for this Brother Zhou, I would have fallen into the hands of Jinyiwei." ”

Zhou Hao didn't sit or stand on the side, he could only look at this picture that can only be seen in TV dramas.

After a while, the two stopped, Lu Jiude said: "Now the Donglin Party in Nanjing City supports King Lu, and Huai'an City is controlled by Liu Zeqing's army, Your Highness must not enter Huai'an, my residence in Huai'an was also burned by the bandits under Li Thief, if it weren't for this Brother Zhou, the old body sighed ......, I heard that Luo Rucai led his troops to ransack Huai'an, Gao Jie led his troops from Xuzhou to Huai'an yesterday, on the one hand, guarding Huai'an, on the other hand, he was also preparing to protect King Lu, in the morning, Li Chengdong personally came to see me with the letter of the Lord Gaojie. ”

Zhou Hao knew that Gao Jie was one of the four major warlords in the four towns of Jianghuai, and he had at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, as long as he got the support of powerful warlords, he didn't worry that King Fu couldn't suppress the Donglin party, so he hurriedly said: "Then you have to worry about your father-in-law to find General Gao Jie quickly, the time is extremely urgent." ”

Lu Jiude said: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, the old body will go to Huai'an City now to find General Huang, and I will support His Highness in both public and private affairs." ”
