Ai Nengqi hurriedly said, "I see that you are a man, I must help you with this favor, my father has always loved her, you are gone, the future is unpredictable, fortunately, the brothers on duty in your house today are my old subordinates, I secretly brought her to see you, you take her out of here quickly"

Li Dingguo was puzzled, "You, why did you do this?" If Zhang Xianzhong is investigated, how can you deal with it? ”

Ai Nengqi smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, in fact, I don't do it entirely for you, you know, I have followed Zhang Xianzhong for more than ten years, how many times I have been born and died, and I finally got to today's status, I am not afraid of your jokes, but your appearance makes me sleep, I can also see that you are not here, so I dare to make this decision, brother, don't blame me for breaking your future"

Li Dingguo was grateful at the moment, and knelt down, "Brother, it's too late, Dingguo Xie is too late, how dare you hate each other, but why don't you take the old lady out together?" How can I leave?"

Ai Nengqi hurriedly helped him up, "At that time, the situation was urgent, the old lady in order to let us leave the mansion smoothly, she deliberately went to lead the rest of the guards in the mansion, originally Miss Yun refused to leave, I had to knock her unconscious, don't say so much, let's go, wait for my father to find out, it's too late for you to leave, you must know that these 20,000 troops are his henchmen, don't think about anything else, you can't take it away, I will give you this carriage and my own soldiers, you leave from the path, don't look back, the old lady will be handed over to me, If you have a chance to write to me later."

Every sentence that Ainengqi said was what he said in his heart, and now the Great Western Dynasty, except for Zhang Xianzhong himself. Most of the military power is in the hands of his three righteous sons, and the eldest grandson is hopeful. The second is Liu Wenxiu, and the third is Ainengqi. Among these three, Sun Kewang lost his troops and lost his reputation in Hanzhong, and his reputation was greatly damaged, and the second Liu Wenxiu acted too cautiously, which was contrary to Zhang Xianzhong's idea of swallowing mountains and rivers with a horizontal knife, and Ai Nengqi, who had made outstanding contributions to Jingxiang in the previous expedition, became a hot figure in the Great Western Dynasty, and Zhang Xianzhong fought all his life. did not give birth to an heir, so who will the throne of the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom fall into in the future, Ai Nengqi can be worried.

But he didn't expect to kill Li Dingguo halfway, Ai Nengqi is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, he always feels that Zhang Xianzhong is deliberately cultivating Li Dingguo, this opponent can't be unguarded, it just so happens that Liu Wenxiu was defeated in Fuling this time and urgently needs reinforcements. Who will Zhang Xianzhong send, Ai Nengqi's brain is spinning fast, isn't this a good time to drive away Li Dingguo?

However, he and Li Dingguo are brothers, and it is not necessary to harm his life. It's better to sell favors and just squeeze him out.

Li Dingguo was also difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake at this time, and Miss Yun was really in the car. It was an opportunity, so. After thanking Ainengqi for his kindness, he personally set up a carriage and went to find a path.

Li Dingguo just left. Ai Nengqi quickly returned to Chengdu and played to Zhang Xianzhong, saying that Li Dingguo's mansion Zhongyun Niang did not know where to go, and Li Dingguo also led his troops and disappeared, and it seemed that this was going to be gone forever.

Zhang Xianzhong was furious, scolded Li Dingguo for being ungrateful, and ordered the messenger to go to give an order, close all the passes out of Sichuan, search for Li Dingguo, and at the same time order Ainengqi to order 30,000 troops to 'chase' Li Dingguo in the starry night.

At this time, Li Dingguo and Yun Niang had already left Chongqing Mansion, along Lushui, and went straight to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

As soon as Li Dingguo left, Zhang Xianzhong, who was furious, burned down the mansion he gave to Li Dingguo, executed all the people in the mansion, and beat Wang Zhao to death, but did not kill her directly, he wanted to torture the old woman to death, throw it into prison after the beating, and beat her again after healing her injuries, anyway, she couldn't survive, she couldn't die, only in this way could he vent his hatred in his heart.

Ai Nengqi felt ashamed, and often bribed the jailers, took care of the old lady, and told them to spare her life.

At the same time, in addition to Ai Nengqi in Chengdu Mansion now, Zhang Xianzhong is also unavailable, Ai Nengqi holds the power of Beijing in one hand, and the power of foreign expedition in the other, it is really a great power, a few days after Li Dingguo fled, he personally commanded an army of 50,000 and went to relieve the siege of Fuling.

Fuling City, a thousand-year-old city, in the Three Kingdoms is a strategic place on the ground in Xichuan that can be attacked and defended, Liu Wenxiu has led the army to conquer Qin Liangyu, has been a laborer, this is not his ability, Sichuan has been difficult to use soldiers since ancient times, and it is not suitable for large-scale army operations at all, 100,000 mountains, boundless, and sooner or later the deadly obstacle is raging lawlessly, and Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers are all local Tujia, familiar with the local environment, elusive, and constantly send troops to harass Liu Wenxiu.

Since Liu Wenxiu entered the boundary of Fuling, he has not had a day of peace, and the reconnaissance team sent out will not be able to come back as soon as he goes out, he has no choice but to retreat to Fuling City, planning to send troops to surround the mountain and trap Qin Liangyu, but 30,000 soldiers are scattered into the vast mountains crisscrossing the sea, it is really a mud cow into the sea, not waiting for him to surround the mountain, Qin Liangyu made a decisive attack, and attacked Fuling City in one fell swoop, Liu Wenxiu only took half of the remnants of the army to Wulong, a small city more than 60 miles south of Fuling City, and never dared to come out again, and asked Chengdu for help.

Subsequently, Ainengqi's 50,000 troops arrived, Qin Liangyu knew that he was outnumbered, so he swept away the grain of Fuling City, and retreated to Shiyan Mountain, holding on to it, and accompanied the Great Western Army to fight a guerrilla.

**

The matter of Daxi will not be mentioned for the time being, and it is said that Wang Lanping was under house arrest in Nanjing City.

Wang Lanping's injuries are improving day by day, thanks to Fang Ling's careful care.

In the middle of the night, the two figures in the silent Dingnan Hou Mansion swayed around, but they could walk calmly with the faint moonlight, as if they were familiar with the environment in this mansion.

These two people are Wang Lanping's generals, Song Dali and Song Xian.

The two of them went straight to the small building in the middle courtyard in the dark, and learned a few night bird calls from the windows upstairs.

Not long after, the lights on the third floor came on, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Wang Lanping took the candlestick, put on his clothes, opened the door on the first floor, and led the two of them in.

The three of them came to the house.

As soon as Song Dali entered the door, he complained, "Master Hou, you are still comfortable, we brothers are a few brothers, but we can sleep outside, we can't live a life, I really have no tricks, come to you to stutter."

Song Xian shook his head. "Master Hou, how is your injury?"

Wang Lanping put down the candlestick. Sitting across from them, "Alright." Tell me, how is it in the camp? ”

Song Xiandao, "It's hard to say in a word, and it's not an exaggeration to say it vigorously"

Wang Lanping nodded heavily, "Well, I can imagine everyone's difficulties, I have been placed under house arrest by the emperor and Ma Shiying, not to mention you"

Song Dali patted his shriveled stomach and said, "Don't say it yet." Have you eaten, I haven't had oil and water in my stomach for more than ten days, and I almost forgot what pork tasted like."

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs on the second floor, and Fang Ling was holding a candlestick, sleepy-eyed, probably alarmed by the sound downstairs.

"General? You, do you have a guest? ”

Song Dali and Song Xian were busy looking for prestige, and their eyes were straight. Who is this, he actually came down from the upstairs in the middle of the night, didn't Dingnanhou live on it? Don't?

Song Dali pretended to be surprised, "Yo." Master Hou, are you still hiding in the golden house? ”

Wang Lanping ignored him and walked towards Fang Ling. "Wake you up, now that you're awake. Can you please help my two brothers go to the kitchen and get something to eat?"

Fang Ling straightened her somewhat messy hair, so it was inconvenient to ask more. Nodding his head and saying, "Okay, I'll go."

When she walked past the Second Song Dynasty, she squatted down to them and saluted, then took the candlestick and went to the kitchen.

Song Xian hurriedly got up to return the salute, and Song Dali smiled heartily, "Can you scald the pot of wine again?" ”

Wang Lanping waved his hand and said, "You go, the wine will be free, they will have something to do in a while"

Song Dali pouted and was very disappointed.

Cover the door, go up to the third floor, the three of them talked around the table, the current situation of General Song Xian roughly told Wang Lanping, but Song Dali always lost no time on the side of adding oil and vinegar, eager to say that the soldiers of the champion army are bitter and hateful, and they are almost dead.

After listening, Wang Lanping nodded calmly and said, "I know the suffering of my brothers, it's not easy, but how can I become a master if I don't endure hardships, it's useless to complain about heaven and earth, the court is like this, everyone has been wronged."

Song Dali gritted his teeth and said, "The brothers are all holding back a fire, the soldiers of the seven old dogs are really too deceitful, if Song Xian hadn't pulled me, I would have fought with them."

Wang Lanping said, "What is the fight, the courage of the horseman, the reason why the court arranged you there is not afraid of you making trouble, but looking forward to you making trouble."

Song Dali spread his hands, "Then how long will we endure it?" It won't be long before the hearts of the brothers will be scattered, and there will be no more champions in the world, and those brothers who died in Yangzhou will die in vain."

Song Xian agreed with Song Dali's words, "Yes, a few of us are okay, the soldiers below are really miserable, these days, there have been more than 100 wounded soldiers who have died because of lack of medicine, for a long time, the army's heart is shaken, Hou Ye, you have to get an idea quickly, now everyone wants to dig our corner, we can't let the brothers disperse, and if they disperse, they will never be able to gather again, Hou Ye, the brothers have followed you since Xiangshan, born and died, in order to make meritorious contributions and get ahead, without you, the champion army is scattered"

Wang Lanping had already expected this matter, he wanted to oppose the Ming, but the champions were not the same, and the time for rebellion was far from coming, and now after this incident, it was enough to squeeze out the people in the champions army who were so fluctuating, and those who could still hold on in this situation were all good, only these people were really one heart, they only lived under the glory of the bloody battlefield of the champions, this was their belief.

Wang Lanping said, "The two of you, since I reorganized the champion army, the court has been talking about it, saying that I promoted generals without authorization, used people at will, and did not conform to the court's etiquette system, you two are the lowest commanders in our army, in contrast, I trust you the most, I have a sentence today, you will decide for me"

Seeing that Hou Ye was talking so seriously, the two knew that it must be a big deal, so they stood up and calmed down.

Wang Lanping looked left and right at the two most loyal subordinates, did not speak, just dipped his saliva and wrote a word on the table.

Song Dali's head was crooked left and right, and he didn't know how to read.

But Song Xian was excited, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "The last general will live and die together"

Seeing that he was so serious, Song Dali was so anxious that he sweated, pulled Song Xian's arm and said, "Why, it's great to know words, what words are this?"

Song Xian leaned close to his ear and whispered a word, "Anti!" ”

Song Dali's eyes were like silver bells when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with joy on his face, "I've been waiting for your words for a long time, there are many anti-thieves in the world, and the Zhu family is exhausted, and the world will fall into the hands of others sooner or later, it's better for us to have a vigorous one, **** mother, the last general is willing to listen to it."

Wang Lanping knew that these two people had been looking forward to this day for a long time, so he patted the two of them on the shoulder, "Okay, from now on, our brothers will share difficulties and blessings."

Song Dali gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, you just say, how to do it, when to do it, I can't wait."

"Don't worry, this is a big deal, you must not leak the news, the emperor has been defeated a hundred times, he is still the emperor, we will be doomed once we are defeated, we must be cautious, this matter is only known to the three of us, it is not convenient for me to show up in the city now, there are some things you can do for me"

Footsteps sounded downstairs, it was Fang Ling who brought food, and the three of them replaced the wine with tea, chatting while eating, and the mood was more than happy.

On the second watch, the two avoided the guards outside the Hou Ye, climbed over the wall, and according to Wang Lanping's instructions, they took four hundred taels of gold and went straight to the mansion of Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and also climbed over the wall.

At dawn, before Wang Yongji's people came to fight, they sneaked back to the barracks, and everything was as usual, nothing happened.

**

After the early dynasty, Zhu Yousong called Ma Shiying to the back bed.

Called the retired servant, Zhu Yousong asked Ma Shiying, "Shoufu, is Wang Lanping still honest?" Is there a disobedient move? ”

Ma Shiying said, "Back to the emperor, it is reported that he has stayed at home these days, closed the door to thank guests, and only met Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Qian Xiaole, the secretary of the Criminal Department, on the day he just returned to the house, and he has never seen anyone else, and the minister also heard that he bought a young and beautiful girl and raised it in the house."

Zhu Yousong smiled, "The affairs of men and women, let him go, what about his soldiers recently?" Is there a disturbance? ”

Ma Shiying said, "Back to the emperor, there are Wang Yongji and other seven marquis soldiers and horses, they don't dare to make trouble, but the minister thinks that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, if the rumors are spread, it will be unfavorable to the emperor."

Zhu Yousong doesn't think so, if the champion army is all gone, then it should be the turn of the seven fierce gods to show off their might, now it's good to have a containment, can't go too far, as long as he knows that the world is surnamed Zhu Buzhong surnamed Wang, just know who he should be loyal to, and in a few days, when Wang Lanping is tamed, then the emperor will issue a holy decree, transfer the 'champion army' into Nanjing, incorporate it into the palace forbidden army, and accept it for the emperor's use.

But Ma Shiying doesn't think so, for a soldier like Wang Lanping who walked down on the battlefield, if he doesn't kill him at once, he will bite back, so Zhu Yousong only knows a rough idea about the current Champion Army camp, at least the emperor doesn't know about the people who were forced to die inside.

Zhu Yousong said, "Ma Shoufu, you have to grasp the proportions of what I asked you to do, you can't force it too quickly or too loosely, and you can't provoke a mutiny, it's a big trouble, and my face is dull, you have to be just right."

Ma Shiying always felt that this Zhu Yousong seemed to be a different person, unlike the previous emperor who only knew how to watch plays, drink and enjoy beautiful women.

"Yes!"

"Well, you go, come on, pass on the troupe, what about my wine"

Ma Shiying hummed in his heart: Well, it's him, it still hasn't changed, it's just that he's more afraid of death. (To be continued.) )
