Chapter 323: Out of the City
Although there were many people, the inside of the cell was still terrifyingly oppressive, no one spoke, no one moved, and even everyone was very cautious and careful when panting. In everyone's ears, what kept thinking of was the crackling of torches burning, and the sound of Luo Sigong's footsteps constantly walking.
The thin-soled leather boots stepped on the ground, each of them seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts, and everyone looked at Luo Sigong, waiting for him to come up with an idea. Glancing back at Liu Fenghua, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "Liu Qianhu, I'll hand it over here, and I'll review these people well." Whether the road is about building slaves or smuggling with the enemy is all carefully examined. The matter has come to this point, we have to play the emperor, as for how to do it, it depends on the emperor's intentions. ”
"Yes, sir! Humble duty understands! Bowing to Luo Sigong, Liu Fenghua said respectfully.
Nodding slowly, Luo Sigong stretched out his hand and pointed at Liang Guest, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be embarrassed by this person, and try not to die for other people, but it's nothing, it doesn't seem appropriate for Dongchang to try a few people without dying." ”
Luo Sigong's words seemed to be very casual, and after speaking, he took Dang Han and the others away, obviously preparing to do something else.
The Liang guest who was tied there was scared half to death, but he was also glad in his heart, it seemed that he was really his ancestor who had accumulated virtue. However, thinking of his companions, Liang Guest's face was a little lonely, but it soon became firm.
After leaving the prison, Luo Sigong took people back to his place and made his own chair, Luo Sigong said to Dang Han in a deep voice: "Things have come to this point, we have reached the door, we can't hesitate." Early tomorrow morning, you will take someone to raid the Jinshan Chamber of Commerce, and I will go out of the city tonight. ”
"Your Excellency wants to go to General He and them?" After being slightly stunned, Dang Han said with some surprise.
He shook his head firmly. Dang Han said in a deep voice: "My lord, Chen Qian, the chief soldier of Zhangjiakou, is unreliable, and the news of our arrest is already known to Fang Rui of the county. Chief soldier Chen Qian must also know that if they jump over the wall in a hurry, I am afraid that it will be dangerous for adults to go out of the city at this time! Dang Han's expression was unusually firm, and it seemed that he was ready to stop Luo Sigong.
He frowned and groaned for a long time. Luo Sigong sighed softly, and said with a rather firm expression: "I have been the commander of the Jinyi Guard for more than 30 years, and I have experienced a lot of things, and I almost survived. Once upon a time, I wouldn't be doing stupid things, but I suddenly realized I was wrong. Even if it's really a dead life this time, I'm going to go! ”
"My lord, we have a trumpet cannon, as soon as the signal is fired, General He's men and horses will come in. There's really no need for adults to take that risk. Dang Han slowly knelt on the ground and said with an anxious expression.
Frowning slightly, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "I promised the emperor that I must arrest Huang Taiji back." The trumpet cannon is naturally the best choice, but not only General He can see it, but Huang Taiji can also see it. If they had been prepared, they didn't know what would have gone wrong. Now we are moving very suddenly, they will not get news before dawn, and they must drop their soldiers into the city before dawn. At that time, no matter what Huang Taiji had in mind, it was useless. We can catch turtles in urns. ”
"But my lord, this is too dangerous, let the lowly go! General He has also seen humble duties. As long as you hold an adult's codex, you shouldn't have any problems! Dang Han touched his head to the ground and said loudly.
Without answering Dang Han's words, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "Dang Han, you have been following me for more than ten years, and you also have some understanding of my personality. has been an official for a long time, and he is sleek and spicy. It can also be said to be cunning and cunning. But I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, I am the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the emperor's pro-army, do you still remember the first holy decree given by the emperor to the Jinyi Guard? ”
Slightly stunned, Dang Han didn't expect Luo Sigong to ask this question at this time. He groaned for a while and said, "Naturally remember the lowly position!" ”
Nodding slowly, Luo Sigong chuckled and said, "At that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, so let me bring someone to escort the enthronement ceremony." At that time, my emperor didn't know who I was, but the emperor chose to believe me, do you know why? ”
"Back to my lord, I don't know what I do!" Dang Han raised his head and looked at Luo Sigong, and said in a deep voice.
"Because we are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, we are Jinyiwei, and we will not betray the emperor no matter what. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has always been very trustworthy, and I, Luo Sigong, also know what the grace of knowing is. This time, the emperor cares very much about this Huang Taiji, and if he wants to catch him, then I must do it for the emperor, and there can be no mistakes. Luo Sigong looked at Dang Han with straight eyes, and said in a firm voice.
Seeing what Dang Han wanted to say, Luo Sigong waved his hand lightly and said resolutely: "Although Chen Qian is unreliable, other people may not be unreliable, I can go out of the city from the west." It's not that I don't want you to go, although you are a thousand households in Jinyi, the weight is not as heavy as mine, you must go out of the city this time. ”
"Don't worry, sir! There must be nothing wrong in the city! Dang Han didn't persuade anything, he knew that Luo Sigong had already made up his mind. What he can do is to take good care of the city, so that Luo Sigong has no worries.
After pondering for a long time, Luo Sigong said with a solemn face: "If I don't come back before dawn, you will light the horn cannon, don't hesitate!" ”
"Yes, sir! Remember! Dang Han looked at Luo Sigong and replied respectfully: "My lord, you have to bring a few more people!" Be sure to bring Laoshan's two daughters with you. “
Shaking his head gently, Luo Sigong said with a smile: "If there is an accident, it is useless for me to bring more people." As for Laoshan's two daughters, I can't take them with me. Laoshan has these two daughters all his life, and he has to keep him to spend his old age in peace, if there is any accident, I'm sorry Laoshan! ”
"Your Excellency!" Dang Han looked at Luo Sigong and said in a hoarse voice.
didn't speak, Luo Sigong slowly stood up, gently patted Dang Han's shoulder, and strode outside.
"Take your twenty brothers and ride them on horseback, and come with me!" Luo Sigong stood at the door and looked at the people outside, and commanded loudly, his voice full of determination.
Looking at Luo Sigong's back, the cloak was constantly shaking, and Dang Han suddenly felt that the figure was so tall. Kowtowing to Luo Sigong, Dang Han whispered: "My lord, the humble position is waiting for you to come back here!" ”
Luo Sigong left and went to He Shixian's barracks, if everything goes well, Zhangjiakou will be different tomorrow.
On the side of Blacksmith Street, although it was already late at night, Huang Taiji and several people had not yet slept, they were all sitting in the house, and no one spoke.
The oil lamps in the room kept beating, flickering on and off, and the light was reflected on everyone's faces, and their faces were not very good-looking. Footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and a person walked in quickly, it was Ha Yuansheng.
Coming to Huang Taiji's side, Ha Yuansheng knelt down respectfully, and said in a low tone: "Slave Ha Yuansheng, I've seen Lord Belle!" ”
With a wave of his hand, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Get up!" Sit down and speak! When Ha Yuansheng sat down, Huang Taiji asked again, "How is it?" Any news? ”
"Back to Lord Belle, there's no news! There was already a curfew at dusk, and the streets were full of patrolling errands. The minions sent out a few brothers who reached out well, and when they went out, they found the brocade guards of the brigade, and it is unknown what happened. Ha Yuansheng bowed slightly, and said in a low tone.
Sighing helplessly, Huang Taiji said with a wry smile: "In this Zhangjiakou, I am a fish, I really regret not being at the beginning." ”
"Lord Belle doesn't have to be like this, it's not clear what the situation is outside now, you can't do anything now, wait until dawn to talk about it! It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Chen Liangyu on the side opened his mouth and said, at this time he was no longer what he was at the beginning, and his face was very ruddy.
Listening to Chen Liangyu's words, Huang Taiji suddenly frowned, and said with a firm expression for a while: "Ha Yuansheng, how many of your Baturu are here?" ”
"Lord Belle, this place is too small, it can only accommodate fifty people. The Baturu here is the most heroic and combative. Ha Yuansheng looked at Huang Taiji's gaze, and suddenly felt that this gaze was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he realized that it was Nurhachi's resolute gaze. Ha Yuansheng's heart suddenly moved, it seems that this Baylor is going to do something crazy.
"We'll move out as soon as dawn, where are all those Baturus? We'll go there, and if anything happens, we'll be able to deal with it. Huang Taiji's eyes flashed, obviously thinking about something.
Nodding slowly, Ha Yuansheng said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Belle!" ”
Several people glanced at each other, since it was already like this, there was no point in sitting here, and after saluting Huang Taiji, they left separately.
Huang Taiji and the others naturally didn't know that Luo Sigong had gone to move troops outside the city, and Luo Sigong didn't know that Huang Taiji was ready to move. However, both of them set the time at dawn, and history is always full of such coincidences.
Looking at the big camp in front of him, Luo Sigong's face was very solemn, as long as he passed here, it was done.
Luo Sigong and his party had just arrived at the gate of the camp on horseback, and a team of men and horses had already greeted them, led by a staff general.
"Who are you? What's the matter with getting here so late? The general sat on his horse and looked at Luo Sigong and the others, and asked cautiously.
"We are the people of the Jinyi Guard, and we have urgent matters to go to the camp in the back." A Jinyi guard replied loudly, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the general with the waist card of the Beizhen Mansion Division.
The general seemed to want to say something, and a personal soldier beside him said in his ear: "General, more things are better than less, aren't there still people behind?" Whatever it is, give them a headache. If there is really something, we will not only have to do it, after all, the other party is Jinyiwei, and it is inconvenient for us to offend! ”
