The river lapped against the boats, making a crackling sound, and in the middle of the night, it could be heard far away. The Emperor of the Apocalypse stood at the bow of the boat, looking at a dark river in the distance, without the slightest expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go back to the cabin!" Chen Hong walked up respectfully, holding a fox fur in his hand, and said respectfully.

Without looking at Chen Hong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not answer, and sighed softly. Turning his head to look at Chen Hong, he said in a deep voice, "Where is Sun Chuanting?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Lord Sun is below!" Although Chen Hong didn't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse was looking for Sun Chuanting, he still replied respectfully.

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Go and find Sun Chuanting!" ”

After a short time, Sun Chuanting walked over from behind, with a somewhat tired look on his face. Taking a deep breath, the cold air made him feel a little more energetic, and he saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said, "Ministers and grandsons, see the emperor!" ”

"Sun Aiqing, how long do we have to get to Nanjing?" Turning around and motioning for Sun Chuanting to excuse himself, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked with a smile.

"Back to the emperor, three days! At the current rate, it will be possible to reach Nanjing in three days! However, the minister was a little uneasy in his heart, and it seemed that he was too calm along the way! Sun Chuanting frowned, thought about it, and still said his worries.

Nodding with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also said with emotion: "Yes! It's so quiet! If you're bored at night, talk about your worries! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Those people in Nanjing killed Lord Zhou, and it was clear that they were going to rebel. Now the news of the emperor's southward movement should have reached Nanjing, and these people are afraid that it will be unfavorable to the emperor! Sun Chuanting's face was very solemn, which was something he had been worried about.

"What does Aiqing mean by this? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it! The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also a little worried about this, since they had already sent someone to contact King Fu, the rebellion was already a certainty. If you let yourself go to Nanjing, then it must be the general trend has gone!

I looked down and thought about it. After preparing the wording, Sun Chuanting spoke: "Your Majesty, the Nanjing rebellion has been completed, and if the emperor is allowed to go to Nanjing at this time, those people can only sit and wait for death." In any case, these people will definitely not let the emperor go to Nanjing. ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not say anything. Sun Chuanting continued: "The minister took a look at the terrain, and after walking a day ahead, there was a Chen Canyon!" The terrain on both sides of the strait is very dangerous, and if they make any moves, I'm afraid they will be there. The ministers asked the emperor to go ashore first, if anything happens, the ministers will also meet the enemy! ”

Without speaking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse held the side of the ship with both hands, and his face became solemn. For these local tyrants and inferior gentry in Jiangnan. The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't have any good feelings in his heart. After thinking about it, he turned his head to Sun Chuanting and said, "Is there any news from the navy?" ”

"Back to the emperor, when we left Beijing, the navy had already been led south by two generals, Yu Zhigao and Qi Jin. There was no news at this time, but they should arrive in Quanzhou, Fujian as scheduled. There may be a slight delay on the way, but it should be almost there! "Regarding the intention of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to drop the navy and go south, Sun Chuanting has always been a little puzzled in his heart, can the matter of Nanjing still use the navy?

You must know that the navy and the existing naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty are completely two different concepts. All new warships, a full forty! It is equipped with state-of-the-art firearms. With an elite navy of 30,000 people, its combat power is absolutely extraordinary. Although he was suspicious in his heart, Sun Chuanting didn't ask, and if the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't say it, it was useless to ask himself.

Glancing at Sun Chuanting, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Aiqing." If things go well in Nanjing, I can truly feel at ease. ”

"Your Majesty, although the matter of Nanjing is important, the emperor's dragon body is even more important. Tomorrow will arrive at Chen Canyon, the emperor should go to the shore first! There were five thousand three battalions of elites. Enough to keep the emperor safe. Sun Chuanting was still very worried, if he was one of those people in Nanjing, I am afraid that he would not let the Emperor of the Apocalypse go to Nanjing so easily.

"It's getting late, let's go down first! We'll talk about these things tomorrow! The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, turned and walked into the cabin.

After opening his mouth a few times, Sun Chuanting wanted to say something more, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse obviously didn't mean to listen, so he had to follow and walk towards the cabin.

The terrain of Chen Canyon is not very steep, just two low hills, and in the middle is the Grand Canal. At this time, on the shore of the valley bottom, a man sat on a huge rock, constantly wiping the blade in his hand, a knife, a black ghost-headed knife.

"Commander, it's late at night, there are brothers guarding here, you go back and rest first!" A man walked over and said respectfully.

"Zhao De, your son is almost ten years old, right?" The Commander didn't answer, but changed the subject. But his hand did not stop, and he still wiped his big knife without dissatisfaction.

A gentle look flashed on his face, smiling and smiling, Zhao De's voice was full of gentleness: "Yes! It's almost ten years old, and it's been so many years in a flash, and people really can't help but live! ”

"This time I can't help my brothers, I didn't tell my brothers in advance. After a while, you go and tell your brothers, I, Wang Quan, am sorry for all the brothers! A touch of helplessness flashed on the commander's face, and his voice was full of emotion, faintly interesting and painful.

"The Commander laughed, we brothers have been taking care of you for so many years! The ancestors followed An Xiangbo, the military order is like a mountain, what can the commander do? Zhao De seemed to understand Wang Quan very well, and said with a smile, but his tone was full of helplessness.

Smiling bitterly, Wang Quan said mockingly: "Our ancestor is protecting Taizu, but now he wants to kill the emperor, what do you say is the reason?" We are all hard soldiers, why is that? ”

"Commander, we are An Xiangbo's personal soldiers, and our families are all in An Xiangbo's Zhuangzi, and we don't have to choose many things. The brothers are all knowing, watching the commander rubbing his knife here, the brothers also understand the leader's thoughts! "Zhao De is older after all, and it seems that he has a set of comforting people.

His hand stopped, and Wang Quan said in a deep voice, "Thank you, brothers, you are not here just to talk to me about this, right?" Is there any news? ”

"Tomorrow the emperor's fleet will arrive, and the brothers are waiting for the commander to arrange it! The rabble is also there, is the Commander in the past? Although Zhao De was inquiring, he also knew that Wang Quan would definitely go. Things have reached this point, and there is no possibility of regression.

Thinking of those ruffian pirates, Wang Quan could only sigh helplessly, when did he fall into the company of these people? Collusion between officials and bandits, what is an official? What is Bandit?

A gust of cold wind blew away, blowing away the thoughts in his heart, Wang Quan shivered and stood up. There was no emotion on his face, only indomitable tenacity, and he said in a flat voice: "Let's go!" ”

The night slowly subsided, and as soon as the sky dawned, the city gate of Nanjing slowly opened. A carriage drove in slowly, and no one paid attention to the usual carriage. As if not wanting to attract attention, the carriage headed straight for a place.

Zhang's Mansion, an inconspicuous mansion, has a small face, but looking at the scale of the mansion, the owner's family background here should be relatively solid. The carriage stopped at the door of Zhang's mansion and stopped there quietly, without the slightest movement.

But soon someone came from outside, hawkers with burdens on their bodies, and the gate of Zhang's mansion instantly became a bazaar. The originally quiet gate of Zhang's Mansion instantly became noisy. Seeing that there were hawkers stationed, countless pedestrians also walked over.

Although one buys something and the other sells something, their attention doesn't seem to be on it. Eyes were focused on the surroundings of Zhang's mansion, and many people slowly surrounded the carriage. But they were all leaning back to the carriage, as if they were afraid that someone would disturb it.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage at this time, took the stool from behind, and said respectfully to the inside of the car: "Young master, you can get off!" ”

The curtain of the car was gently raised, and a young man walked out of the car, wearing a good Su Jinxiu gown, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a short sword in his hand. The short sword is extraordinary at first glance, and the hilt of the sword is inlaid with five precious stones, which is very eye-catching. The scabbard is silver, faintly shining with golden light, and the sword is also a precious beast tail hair.

Frowning and glancing around, the young man got out of the carriage and walked to the Zhang Mansion in front of him.

The coachman did not dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly stepped forward, gently pushed the door of the mansion, and respectfully waited for the young man to walk in. The coachman followed in a flash, looked around, and then closed the door. A few people walked over from the market outside, stretched out their hands to take the horses, and drove the carriage out of Nanjing.

The boy didn't seem to see anything at all, and went straight to the main hall and sat down on the main seat. Looking at the furnishings in the hall, he nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's very carefully arranged." ”

"Vulgar place, wronged son!" A voice sounded from outside, and after walking in, he didn't look up, knelt down respectfully, and said: "Minister Nanjing Jinyi Wei commands Fang Shihong, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The young man took a large number of Fang Shihong, who was kneeling on the ground, with a little smile on his face, reached out and picked up the tea bowl on the side, took a sip gently, and said, "It turns out that Fang Tongzhi, get up!" ”

"Xie Shizi!" Fang Shihong stood up from the ground and stood aside with respect on his face.

"Fang Tongzhi said that this time the son of the world came here, it can be said that he took a big risk. If what Fang Tongzhi said was true, this world would not have come in vain! Staring at Fang Shihong, Zhu Youxiang wanted to see something from Fang Shihong's face, but he was soon disappointed.

The expression on Fang Shihong's face did not change in the slightest, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, the prince will naturally not be fake, who would dare not care about the matter that implicates the life of his family?" (To be continued......)
