In fact, Chang Daoli ran out of Mengjin Pass that day, and immediately sent someone to inform this cavalry, but he missed it twice.

The more than 3,000 cavalry of the Ming army hurried to the Mengjin Pass to rescue, and when they approached the Mengjin Pass, they found that Mengjin seemed to be still the same and had no signs of being attacked, which made the Ming cavalry general who led the troops feel very inappropriate. Now that he has returned to the rescue of Mengjin, the cavalry general has regretted it a little, if the governor Chang Daoli knows his loyalty, it will be in vain. If you don't understand, don't you doubt that you are using the excuse of returning help, but in fact you are greedy for life and afraid of death to avoid war?

The little colonel on the side said, "Although Mengjin Pass has not been disturbed now, the loyalty of the adults is also admirable. ”

The cavalry general snorted coldly, "The governor has the grace of knowing me, and my trip is bright and fair, and I have no shame in my heart." After seeing the adults, let's set off immediately to sweep away the remnants of Li Guo's enemies. ”

So, more than 3,000 cavalry were stationed outside the city, and the cavalry general took a dozen people into the city to meet Chang Daoli, the governor of Henan.

Nie Xin, Zhang Ding and others had already seen this qiē in the city, so they were not polite, the cavalry general of the Ming army had just entered the city gate, and he didn't even have a chance to fart half of it, and his relatives were cut into pieces of meat.

Then, at the head of the city, the artillery that had been prepared long ago was bombarded indiscriminately against the camp of the Ming cavalry.

The Ming army was resting at this time, and the horses were unsaddled. Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound and a rain of shells. The entire camp was beaten to pieces, and the Ming soldiers were blinded.

This is not the end, the war drums on the city are beating, and more than a thousand cavalry shouting this is killed.

Some of the clever and equestrian Ming troops saw that the situation was not good. Jumped on the bareback horse and fled. In the bumps, the important parts of the lower body were almost never broken.

The rest of the Ming army wanted to resist and was directly killed by Zhang Ding and Hao Qianjin. All the rest surrendered.

After strict screening and screening, Nie Xin and Zhang Ding expanded the team to more than 2,000 people, each with at least one horse, and even extra horses.

More than 2,000 people are enough, at least when searching for Li Guo, the small group of Ming troops will not dare to harass.

Chang Daoli did not give up, and in the days to come, he gathered his troops and trained his soldiers. wants to exterminate Nie Xin and them. However, he did not have the opportunity to do so, because of the killing of Tian Jingxian, the governor of Huaiqing, he was removed from his post. After all, it is not a trivial matter that the emperor's relatives were killed. Moreover, it cannot be said that there is no responsibility for the company.

Putting these aside, let's talk about Zhang Ding, he began to search along the river day and night, and he didn't look like a man.

This is the case. Don't talk about Nie Xin, Liu Ru can't look at it.

Liu Ru sent someone to call Zhang Ding, "Xiao Dingzi, I know that you have deep feelings for your father Li, and I came late." I am not qualified to say anything about you. ”

Zhang Ding immediately knelt down, "Madame, don't say that, my father Li's wife is my mother." It doesn't hurt if you have anything to say. ”

Liu Ru sighed, "Actually, I know your feelings. But your father Li fell into the Yellow River with our own eyes, and there is more than luck! If it weren't for your father's blood. I'm really going to go with him. But now I can't die. But Xiao Dingzi, you also have to take care of your body! Your Daddy Li is gone, but your Daddy Li's children still need you to protect them! ”

Zhang Ding stood up, wiped his eyes, and said, "My father Li is not dead!" With that, he turned around and left.

Nie on the side couldn't help sighing, "Madame, you are kind, but we don't give up!" After speaking, Nie Xin also left.

Therefore, the task of searching continues.

The search continued with some results, and the seven or eight brothers who had fallen into the Yellow River had already found a few, although they were unrecognizable, but fortunately everyone had an iron tag around their necks to prove their identity, so that everyone could know who they were.

It's just that Li Guo and Zabu didn't see anyone alive or dead, and they didn't see their bodies.

On this day, another ferry boat was recruited. Most of the ships in this area were drafted, not for anything else, but for a full supply of silver, a monthly income of two taels of silver, which was already very good at that time.

It was a gray-haired old man who rocked the boat, and he casually asked the receiving soldiers, "You say that there will be a great reward for finding the bodies of a man and a child?" ”

The soldier nodded.

The old man sighed, "If those two people are alive, do they also have a reward?" ”

The soldiers who received him saw that the old man had something to say, and hurriedly went to report.

Nie Xin and Zhang Ding immediately invited the old man over, and Liu Rushi and Hao Qianjin also rushed over.

"Uncle, what did you say? Do you see two people, one big and one small? Zhang Ding asked confusedly, on the Yellow River, it is still common for father and son to cross the river together.

"yes, but they're dying." The old man replied.

"Huh? Uncle, you are not in a hurry, you think about it carefully, what kind of people are they and where did you meet them? How are they doing now? Zhang Ding advised the old man not to be in a hurry, but he was a little anxious.

"Oh, it was n days ago, I was ferrying downstream, who knew that there were two people floating on the river, a man and a half-old child, I thought they were dead bodies, so I poked the two people a few times with the bamboo pole of the boat, but I didn't expect the child to move, so I scooped these two people up."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone's hearts were pounding, because what the old man said was right at the right time and place.

"What about them?" Zhang Ding's eyes widened.

The old man looked a little frightened, and hurriedly said, "It's not in the way." ”

"Don't get in the way, uncle, tell me quickly, if the thing is true, there will be a reward." Zhang Ding directly threw down a silver ingot, which was enough for ten taels.

When the old man saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he began to speak.

On that day, the old man fished up the man and the child and dragged them ashore. The child didn't have much water, and he woke up after a while, but the blood flowed from the man's legs, and although he was angry, he didn't look very good. The first thing the child did after he woke up was to lie on the man and cry, calling Daddy Li repeatedly! Daddy Lee!

Zhang Ding's tears fell at that time, and he asked repeatedly, "Say it quickly, what happened later?" ”

Liu Ru stopped Zhang Ding, "Xiao Dingzi, don't worry, listen to the old man." Old man, say it quickly! ”

"This is also a loss to the guests who crossed the river, and if they don't agree, I won't get these two half-dead people up." The old man continued.

Among the guests at the ferry, seeing the child crying miserably, one of them seemed to know some medical skills, so he took the pulse of the dying adult, and said, "This person is not dead, but it seems that he wants to save him, and he has bought a few flavors of medicine from the pharmacy in the county town in front of him." ”

So the ferrymen took the dying man and carried him away, and the teenage boy followed.

"Uncle, do you know where they went?" Zhang Ding handed the old man another ingot of ten taels of silver.

The old man took the money until his hand was soft, and hurriedly put the ingot of silver in his arms, "I don't know about this." ”

But the old man continued, "But I know that the group of people who carried him away across the river were all together, and these people were all showmans on the rivers and lakes." Their head is a big girl, this big girl is handsome, loves to wear red clothes, everyone calls her the red lady! (To be continued......)
