Chapter Seventy-Six: Little Yu'er's News
The sky was dark, and Wang Shouren returned.
Liang Hong got up from the quilt and pulled him to a secluded place.
"What's going on? Have you figured it all out? Liang Hong asked anxiously, his eyes were red, he stayed in Qingyun Peak last night until the second half of the night and didn't come back, and he didn't sleep long at all.
"Big brother, the situation is not good, now the 30,000 troops of Datong Mansion have been assembled, the leading general is Yang Shen, the son of Yang Tinghe, the head of the cabinet, and the eunuch Wei Bin is the eunuch Wei Bin, this Wei Bin is the commander of the Shenji Battalion, so among the 30,000 troops this time, there are two battalions of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, a full 6,000 people, these people are not easy to deal with," Wang Shouren said worriedly.
"Divine Machine Battalion?" As soon as he heard this name, Liang Hong's heart immediately moved, recalling that this Shenji battalion was the most modern army in the Ming Dynasty, and all the soldiers in the army were equipped with firearms, as well as cannons and other equipment beyond the times. However, compared to eliminating this army, Liang Hong's bigger idea is actually to absorb it, but how easy is it to integrate the Shenji Battalion? Liang Hong was a little entangled for a while.
"Big brother also knows about the Divine Machine Battalion? βThis army is terrible, the court doesn't know how much silver has been smashed on them, the weapons are very powerful, especially their cannons, which have been improved and can be used to attack the city. However, the good news is that the cannons are relatively heavy and difficult to transport, so we still have some time to prepare," Wang Shouren said.
"Okay, I know, you go back and continue to investigate, and pass on the movements of the official army to me at any time," Liang Hong finished speaking, and unconsciously looked at Wang Shouren and said, "How is the situation in the court now?" Is there any news of Xiao Yu'er? β
"There is no news of Xiao Yu'er, but the situation in the court is wonderfully tight," Wang Shouren licked his lips, and then said to Liang Hong: "After we let His Majesty go back that day, as expected by the eldest brother, Yang Tinghe immediately took over from Zhang Yong, the head of the military department, and served as the commander of the Nine Gates, and then closed the Nine Gates, grounding His Majesty, and at the same time arrested Liu Jin, Zhang Yonggu, Ma Yongchengqiu, Ju Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Gao Feng, and Eight Tigers to prison, and then united with Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Jian, Liu Daxia and other veterans, and counted the crimes of the Eight TigersAt the same time, he blamed Liu Jin for the abduction of His Majesty, saying that Liu Jin colluded with thieves and intended to rebel, His Majesty was forced to have no choice but to make a decree to exterminate Liu Jin's family, and Liu Jin himself was also executed by Ling Chi, I heard that the execution lasted three days, and a total of more than 3,000 knives were cut, Yang Ting and such people are also ruthless enough, it can be seen that they hate Liu Jin to the core. β
"Liu Jin is dead?" Liang Hong heard the news for a long time, but he couldn't react, he didn't expect that this one of the best eunuchs in history would die like this, so it seems that after he came to this era, he still had some unexpected impact on the current situation, otherwise, Liu Jin would not have died so quickly.
"Yes, this time Liu Jin is on his back," Wang Shouren sighed heartily, and then continued: "At the same time as killing Liu Jin, Yang Tinghe subdued the remaining Seven Tigers, and now Wei Bin is in charge of the Shenji Battalion, and has led the Shenji Battalion to Datong Mansion to meet Yang Shen, ready to deal with us, Zhang Yong is in charge of the Inner Factory and Jiumen, Gu Dayong is in charge of the West Factory, Qiu Ju is in charge of the East Factory, Gao Feng has taken over the position of the eunuch, Luo Xiang has become the chief of the Inner Palace, and Ma Yongcheng is in charge of Jinyiwei. In this way, inside and outside, all matters have been controlled by Yang Tinghe and others, His Majesty has also moved out of the leopard room and lived in the palace, which can be regarded as a complete loss of freedom, and now he is already said to be sick and cannot go to the early court, and it is difficult for the ministers to see him, and there are even legends, legends-"
"What's the legend?" When Liang Hong heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he had a bad premonition, so he couldn't help frowning and asked.
"This is just a legend, you can't do it, big brother, don't worry," Wang Shouren looked embarrassed.
"Is it about Xiao Yu'er, tell me quickly!" Liang Hong grabbed Wang Shouren's shoulder, gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Yes, yes, I said," Wang Shouren had no choice but to stammer about Xiao Yu'er.
It turned out that after Zhu Houzhao kidnapped Xiao Yuer and escaped that day, he returned to the imperial city, and was invited into the palace by Yang Tinghe and others to be placed under house arrest. But he ignores the government and has to have something to do, so he takes care of the children in the harem all day long, plays with Xiao Yu'er, not only teaches her to write and paint, recite poems and lyrics, but also named her the lord of Weiyuan, personally instructs her in martial arts, and even when she goes to bed at night, they are all in the same place. For this reason, it is rumored inside and outside the palace that Zhu Houzhao is playing with young women, and some of the statements are even more unbearable, Wang Shouren does not dare to say in detail, he can only introduce it in general, I believe that with Liang Hong's wit, he can naturally understand the connotation.
"Xiao Yu'er, Abba is sorry for you," After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Liang Hong stepped back in a daze, but then suddenly turned around and punched and kicked at a big tree.
"Ahhhh!!h
Liang Hong's roar woke up everyone on the mountain, Ren Yingying and Bai Xiu'er came out hand in hand, saw his appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab him, but found that his hands were already drenched in blood, and the skin on the back of his hands was all scratched. Bai Xiu'er was distressed, and hurriedly bandaged him, Ren Yingying learned about Wang Shouren, only to know that Liang Hong ran away because he heard the news of Xiao Yu'er, and unconsciously sighed for a while, stepped forward to support his arm, frowned slightly, and said: "This, I see that Zhu Houzhao is not as dirty as the rumors, maybe he didn't do that unbearable thing to Xiao Yu'er, I think you should relax first." β
"If you don't do it now, it doesn't mean that you won't do it in the future, in short, as long as Xiao Yu'er stays by his side for a day, it will be dangerous for a day," Liang Hong frowned and spoke, then clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "In short, I must rescue her as soon as possible, no matter what, I can't let her stay in that Longtan tiger's den!" β
Seeing this situation, everyone knew that he was really worried about Xiao Yu'er, so it was not good to say anything, so he could only persuade him to calm down first and deal with the matter at hand first.
It wasn't until the third pole of the day that everyone had finished breakfast, Liang Hong calmed down a little, and then Ling Hu Chong and Lin Pingzhi led the team back one after another, and many things had to be arranged, which also made him have no time to be sad, so he could only fight hard and began to arrange things.
"Brother Linghu, the people under your command are all strong men, and it happens that there are tools on the mountain, so I bother you to take people to cut down wood and bamboo on the spot, and make a few things," Liang Hong drew a few sketches on the paper with a pen as he spoke, and handed them to Ling Huchong.
Ling Hu Chong took it and looked at it, but he was a little curious, and he didn't know what that thing was for.
"When my brother asked them to rush to build it, I need to pay attention to reminding them that the ratio of this pole up and down must be strictly in accordance with my requirements, and don't tie it indiscriminately, otherwise it won't work," Liang Hong said to Ling Hu Chong.
Hearing this, although Ling Hu Chong was puzzled, he also knew that this might be a secret weapon, which might come in handy, so he quickly took the order.
"Brother Lin, thank you for your hard work," After sending Ling Hu Chong away, Liang Hong raised his eyes and looked at Lin Pingzhi, who was standing beside Wang Siniang with a cold face.
"It's a trivial matter, don't forget to compete with me," Lin Pingzhi said with a smile.
"Well, there is one thing I want you to do now, I bother you to take people down the mountain, recruit people to the village of Chaozhai, and mobilize them to retreat to the mountains, of course, at the same time, you should also pay more attention to the terrain around here, if it is convenient, help me draw a sketch," Liang Hong said to him.
"Okay, I'll do my best," Lin Pingzhi nodded, then looked at Wang Siniang again, and said to Liang Hong: "That, you, Mrs. Wang, don't seem to be in a good mood, or stay on the mountain?" β
"Okay, give her to Xiu'er," Liang Hong waved at him, turned around and went back to arrange other things.
"Yingying, Blue Sect Master, you lead your subordinates to explore the mountains near here, see if there are any caves, if there are any, remember the location, and mark them all," Liang Hong said to Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang, and then frowned again: "No, you take people to the back mountain first, and find a way to make some ropes that are long enough and strong enough, tie them to the rocks, and fall to the bottom of the cliff, and make sure that the rope can be grabbed and slid to the bottom of the cliff." β
Ren Yingying and Blue Phoenix didn't know what his intentions were, but they just said that he was leaving a way back for everyone, so they were naturally willing to do it for this matter, and they quickly took people to work.
"Sister Wang, it's been hard all the way, come with me, little sister will take you to rest," At this time, Bai Xiu'er came over, took Wang Siniang's hand, and was about to take her to rest, but Wang Siniang shook her hand, looked at Liang Hong coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Liang Hong, you don't want to insult me, if you have the ability, kill me, I, Wang Siniang, am not greedy for life and afraid of death!" β
"You stop for a while, I'm very busy right now, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, do you know?" Liang Hong didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned around and prepared to go to work again.
"I have this map of the Three Mountains Pavilion," As a result, just when Liang Hong had just walked a few steps, suddenly Wang Siniang took out a piece of parchment from his arms and said to Liang Hong in a deep voice: "If you don't make it clear today, I will destroy this map, do you believe it or not?!" β
"Huh? Yes? As a result, as soon as Liang Hong heard this, he immediately saw a rare treasure, and his eyes lit up, and his spirit recovered, and he ran to Wang Siniang at the moment, looked at the parchment with a smile on his face, and then looked at Wang Siniang and smiled: "What are you talking about?" We are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, there are not so many doorways, if you don't want to stay with me, just leave by yourself, can I still embarrass you? β
