The willows are clinging, the breeze is blowing, so that in late autumn, the weather becomes cool and a lot. The Nanjing wharf has been put under martial law, and the whole team of non-commissioned officers is standing on the wharf, which is really ten steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry.

These soldiers were different from Nanjing, although they wore mandarin duck armor and had knives hanging from their waists, but each of them carried a musket behind them. The important thing is to be energetic, not to see the sluggish look, and to look resolute. The eyes are also very sharp, so people dare not look at each other.

Ships were moored on both sides of the river, and people began to disembark from the ships one after another, but there were no ships in the center. Until a three-story lucky boat slowly sailed here, whether it was the soldiers or the people on both sides, they all knelt neatly on the ground, their heads were all low, and no one looked up.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stepped down from the deck, his face was slightly gloomy, he already knew the news of Nanjing's lockdown. After Dang Han delivered the news, he was driven back to Nanjing by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and now every day there are secret agents of Jinyiwei who send letters to the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Although the city of Nanjing was sealed, the news was never cut off.

Before the people arrived in Nanjing, the Emperor of the Apocalypse already knew what was happening here, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse also knew about the plans of Wei Guogong and Luo Sigong. For there was no major accident, the Emperor of the Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief. When I arrived in Nanjing today, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not know anyone, there was no guard of honor to greet him, and everything seemed quiet.

"Your Majesty, set up camp outside the city! The situation in the city of Nanjing is unstable, so the emperor should not go to the city for the time being! Chen Hong walked to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, with a little worry on his face, and spoke. However, he shook the dust in his hand tightly, he knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse might not listen to his advice.

With a wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw that Sun Chuanting and the others were about to speak, and said: "When I arrive in Nanjing, I naturally want to live in the palace, so you can open the way in front!" Don't waste time. I'm going to go to the city to get a good look at my ministers. ”

The reaction of the Emperor of the Apocalypse had long been expected, and seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very resolute, no one spoke. Escorted by a thousand Jingying men. The Emperor of the Apocalypse headed towards the city of Nanjing.

Under the city of Nanjing, Shen Quan and Yang Shu were waiting quietly. The news has already been spread, and presumably there will be news soon.

"What's going on? Why hasn't it come out yet? The two of them were very impatient, half an hour had passed, and there was still no news in Nanjing City, Shen Quan couldn't help but complain.

"There are more than 10,000 of us here, and these people should be more rigorous!" Although Yang Shu was also a little impatient, he still opened his mouth to persuade Shen Quan.

Didn't wait any longer. The gate of Nanjing City slowly opened, and people rushed out of it. At the head was a young man, dressed in a snow-white robe and unarmed. It looks like a traveling boy. Looking at his appearance, he is also a beautiful son, with a faint smile on his face.

"In front of you, the two generals Shen Quan and Yang Shu? Little Master Mu is here, come and see! The group just walked out of the city gate and stopped, and a big man shouted at Shen Quan and Yang Shu at the top of his voice.

Shen Quan and Yang Shu were a little stunned for a moment, but they didn't dare to delay at all. There are not many Mu Xiaogongs in this world, and the only one who can appear here is Mu Tianbo. The Emperor of the Apocalypse is very important to Mu Tianbo, and the status of the officials in the Military Aircraft Department is naturally extraordinary.

However, Mu Tianbo is not the Minister of Military Aircraft, but he is not qualified to let the two of them go over. However, the identity of Little Master Mu is not to be talked about. The two men asked the guards to wait where they were, and then they walked over. They had seen Mu Tianbo and had confirmed that the young man in white was Little Master Mu.

Coming to Mu Tianbo's advance, Shen Quan and Yang Shu turned over and dismounted, respectfully hugged their fists in their chests, and said: "The last general Shen Quan, the last general Yang Shu, have seen the little grandfather!" ”

Mu Tianbo also turned over and dismounted, he is not the Duke of Qianguo now, and Mu Tianbo is not so arrogant. walked to the two of them, helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "There are some things in the city, the two generals have been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Little grandfather, you're welcome! The little grandfather drove out of the city to greet him, and he killed the last general! The two of them didn't dare to say anything, Yang Shu said politely.

Looking behind the two people with a smile, Mu Tianbo asked with some urgency: "Two generals, you have already arrived, has the holy car also arrived?" ”

"Back to the little grandfather, we are here on the emperor's order, as for the whereabouts of the holy driver, the last general does not know!" Shen Quan had a smile on his face, of course he knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was coming, but he couldn't say that. No matter who the other party is, revealing the emperor's whereabouts without permission will be beheaded.

Nodding slowly, Mu Tianbo knew very well in his heart that these two people were here, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse would definitely have arrived. But if they don't say it, they can't help it. After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know why the two of you came by order?" Don't know if I can help? ”

Yang Shu didn't speak, waiting for Shen Quan to speak, and he led the troops all the way over, and he didn't know what he could say. Shen Quan came from the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he was the one who really took the will.

Facing Mu Tianbo, Shen Quan said with a smile: "Little grandfather, we are here for two purposes, one is to eliminate the traitors in Nanjing and prepare for the holy drive. Second, we were ordered to capture the traitor, we wanted to see Wei Guogong, and we bothered the little grandfather to take us to Wei Guogong. ”

Sure enough, for this matter, Mu Tianbo shook his head with a little helplessness on his face, and said, "Let's go!" I'll take you to Wei Guogong, but are your men and horses going into the city too? Although he didn't want these people to enter the city, Mu Tianbo also knew that he couldn't make the decision on this matter.

"Little grandfather, I don't know what the situation is in Nanjing?" Without answering Mu Tianbo's question, Shen Quan asked.

"There is indeed a rebellion in Nanjing City, but Wei Guogong has already led people to clear it, and now there is no big problem. In my opinion, the two generals should go in with a few people, and the brigade should still be stationed outside the city! Mu Tianbo still said what he meant, and quietly waited for the two of them to make a decision.

Shen Quan glanced at Yang Shu and said in a deep voice: "Yang Shu, you lead the army to camp, and I will bring a thousand people in!" ”

Nodding slowly, Yang Shu naturally understood, glanced at Shen Quan quite meaningfully, and said, "Be careful!" ”

In the imperial palace of Nanjing City, Wei Guogong stood at the gate of the palace, and opposite him was an old eunuch. His face is full of wrinkles, and his body is a little rickety, but his eyes are unusually intimidating.

"Grandpa Guo, this palace is not an ordinary place, and no one can come if they want to. As for the anti-thief you said, there is no one here, Grandpa Guo should not go out to judge! Our family is ordered to guard here, so naturally there will be no problems. After listening to Wei Guogong's words, the old lady hurriedly smiled and waved her hand, and said.

For the old eunuch in front of him, Wei Guogong is no stranger to it, and his status is not low. Before the Wei Dynasty, the Duke of Dongchang, came to power, there was a very powerful eunuch in the palace called Chen Ju. Chen Ju Chen's father-in-law entered the palace at the age of nine, and he was quite upright and was called "Buddha".

Chen Jushen was trusted by Emperor Shenzong and could be said to be a very powerful eunuch, but Chen Ju was upright and did not have any notoriety left, so he was not so famous. From Chen Ju's position, you can see his power. At that time, Chen Ju was in charge of the East Factory as the eunuch in charge of the seal, which was rare in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jin, who was in power for a while, was just a eunuch in charge of the seal, although the East Factory was in charge of his henchmen, but he was not also in charge of the East Factory. From this point alone, Chen Ju's status is very high.

The old eunuch in front of him is named Chen Ling, who is Chen Ju's godson, and he also has a godbrother, who is also Chen Ju's godson, who is the current eunuch Chen Hong. After Chen Ju's death, Chen Ling went to Nanjing to take care of the palace, while Chen Hong stayed in the capital.

Wei Guogong and this Chen Gonggong can be regarded as old acquaintances, knowing his personality, naturally he said that there are no traitors here, that is, there are no traitors. Although this Gonggong Chen is old, Wei Guogong knows that this is definitely a ruthless character. I don't know what the reason was, maybe it was because Chen Ju was disheartened after his death, so he came to Nanjing.

In Wei Guogong's opinion, if he stayed in the capital, Chen Ling would at least be the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and maybe he could still be in charge of the East Factory.

"In that case, then the Duke of China is gone! However, there is a sentence that still reminds Gonggong Chen that the emperor is about to arrive in Nanjing, and the palace still has to prepare well. There was an assassination in the Imperial Palace, and the palace still needs to pay attention to it. Wei Guogong was still a little uneasy, and couldn't help but speak.

Arching his hand at Wei Guogong, Chen Ling said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, this palace is different from the outside, there are people like our family everywhere, what do you think will be the problem?" ”

Wei Guogong was suddenly a little embarrassed, these are all eunuchs, if you want to say who is the most loyal to the emperor, it must be these eunuchs. What's more, Chen Ling is a master of this way, and his worries are a bit redundant. He smiled, and turned to leave.

However, he didn't go far, Mu Tianbo had already come over on horseback, and it was naturally Shen Quan and the five hundred Jingying people who stretched out his hand to follow.

When he came to Wei Guogong's side, Mu Tianbo turned over and dismounted, saluted with a smile, and said, "The little nephew has seen Grandpa Guo, this one is from the capital, and he has served the emperor's will!" With that, he let Shen Quan out.

Shen Quan hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The last general, Shen Quan, has seen Wei Guogong." ”

Nodding slowly, Wei Guogong was more polite to Chen Ling, but not so polite to Shen Quan. After accepting Shen Quan's prayer, he didn't return the salute, but just said, "Get up!" ”

"Grandpa Xie Guo!" Shen Quan hurriedly got up from the ground, as for Wei Guogong not returning the salute, it was really normal, if he returned the salute, it would be a strange thing. Except for the commanders of Jinyiwei, the rest of the commanders are probably not in the eyes of Wei Guogong.
