Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance never dreamed, they were able to receive a letter from Li Yan, since the fall of Luoyang Mansion City, the two have not had any news of Li Yan and the Red Lady, even the king Li Zicheng did not know any news of Li Yan and the Red Lady, only knew that the two were not able to escape from Luoyang Mansion City, in this case, everyone took it for granted that Li Yan and the Red Lady were naturally captured by the official army, and according to the identities and crimes of the two, they must have been beheaded.

Li Zicheng's generals Liu Zongmin and other generals despised the scholars, as well as all the arrangements Li Zicheng made later, so that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were a little disheartened, not that they couldn't adapt to such a situation, if they showed their wisdom with their hearts and participated in the game, maybe they would soon be able to stand out in this situation.

The key problem is that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance have doubts about the future of the righteous army, at the beginning, the three people, including Li Yan, gave Li Zicheng a lot of ideas, Li Zicheng also followed the advice, one by one, so that the strength of the righteous army increased unprecedentedly, at that time they saw the hope of the righteous army, not to mention the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, at least they can be in a corner of peace, in this case, they follow the struggle of the righteous army, and can also try to have a stable life, and even a good future.

But after the defeat of the righteous army in Luoyang, it recovered its prototype in the shortest possible time, burning and looting everywhere, and the image that had just been established collapsed in an instant, losing the support of the people, and in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the official army that may come at any time, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance did not know where the righteous army could make a breakthrough.

Receiving a letter from Li Yan at this time was a huge shock to the two of them.

The letter was brought by a businessman, who came to Nanyang Mansion City to find out all the situation, and when Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance went to the street for dinner, he secretly sent the letter to the two of them, did not answer any questions raised by the two, and quickly left Nanyang Mansion City.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance didn't even have the heart to eat, so they hurriedly returned to the station and closed the door.

Is it to open the letter. The two have not yet made a decision, you must know that if such a thing is discovered by King Chuang, it will be a capital crime, and the righteous army will deal with people much more barbaric than the government. As long as you find signs that something is wrong, kill them all.

The two deliberated in a low voice for a while, and finally decided to open the letter.

The letter was short, a few dozen words, but it revealed the information. But it was a bombshell, which made Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The first to speak was the bull Venus.

"Brother Song, I didn't expect Li Yan to have such good luck and actually entered the official mansion, could it be that he met some nobleman, you do the math, see if what Li Yan said in his letter is true."

Song Xiance was also distraught, precisely because he was depressed. He only then listened to Niu Jinxing's persuasion and entered the ranks of the rebels, and when he saw Li Yan's letter, he was extremely uncomfortable, where did he still have any thoughts about divination.

"Brother Niu, divination needs the right time, and divination is not good at this time, it can't be calculated."

Niu Jinxing sighed, looking very depressed.

"Brother Song, at the beginning, you and I did everything possible to follow King Chuang out on the expedition. Originally, I thought that I could make a contribution, who knew that you and I left Li Yan in Luoyang Mansion City, but let Li Yan meet good luck, do you say this is fate. ”

"Brother Niu. Don't be emotional, what should be done with this letter, you and I have to think about it, whether to hand it over to King Chuang, or what to do. ”

Niu Venus thought for a moment.

"It will definitely not work to hand it over to King Chuang, and when the time comes, King Chuang will ask where the letter came from. At that time, we can't justify ourselves, maybe it will attract the suspicion and punishment of King Chuang, I don't think this letter can be destroyed, we have a good collection of letters, maybe it can be used at critical moments. ”

Song Xiance was introduced to the righteous army by Niu Jinxing, so in the decision of some major things, most of them were Niu Jinxing's ideas, and at this time it was no exception, in fact, after reading the letter, Song Xiance already had a lot of ideas in his heart.

"Brother Niu, since you and I have decided to leave the letter, then I will also say it bluntly, what choice we make next, whether we are still in the righteous army, in fact, King Chuang trusts Gu Junen the most, no matter how hard you and I try, it is unlikely that we will take Gu Junen's place, and Tuo Yangkun, Zhang Yichuan and Liu Guoneng and others will defect to King Chuang, but in exchange for such a situation, as long as it doesn't take long, Tuo Yangkun and others will go underground, you and I may not have that day, I think King Chuang has a critical moment, There are very few people who can be trusted. ”

Niu Jinxing nodded, obviously agreeing with Song Xiance's judgment.

"Brother Song, in fact, Li Yan's letter, the purpose is to sow discord, if you see such a letter before the battle of Luoyang, you and I will not hesitate to hand over the letter to King Chuang, but now I also hesitate, I always feel that what the righteous army has done, I am afraid that it is difficult to have any future, King Chuang does not dare to believe outsiders, and it is difficult to make the right decision, just say that this looting of Nanyang, Runing and Ruzhou and other places, let the people complain, let the scholars hate it, there is basically no place to stand, the current grain and grass problem has been solved, but what to do in the next year."

Song Xiance listened and nodded again and again.

"Brother Niu, what you mean is that we have to break away from the rebels as soon as possible and go to other places to find a future."

Bull Venus sighed.

"It's easy to say, if you want to go to other places to find out the furnace, where is the simple thing, you and I have a good reputation among the rebels, I'm afraid that the court knows this reputation, you and I leave the rebels, rashly defect to the court, and be arrested and killed directly."

Hearing Niu Jinxing say this, Song Xiance didn't care.

"Brother Niu, you think too much, what is Li Yan's identity, to say that in the righteous army, he is much more famous than us, but he has not yet entered the official mansion, I remember that King Chuang once asked Li Yan if he would surrender to the official army, you and I will not judge it, and now it seems that it is not necessarily."

Song Xiance said this, and Niu Jinxing punched the table.

"Thanks to you, I still said good things for Li Yan, and used the lives of 20,000 righteous soldiers to pave the way, this Li Yan is too vicious."

Looking at Niu Jinxing's righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, Song Xiance was a little impatient.

"Brother Niu, be sober, Li Yan is now the official of the imperial court, if we meet him, people can kill us at any time, and we can also repay the merits of the imperial court, if you want to say how Li Yan restored his fame, is it necessary for you and me to investigate."

Niu Jinxing looked at Song Xiance, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's far away, it's far away, what Brother Song meant just now, I also understand a little, didn't we take this opportunity to get rid of the rebels and go to the government."

"The amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, there are more than 30,000 righteous troops under the command of King Chuang, there are more than 20,000 righteous troops under Liu Zongmin, and there are only 10,000 righteous troops under the command of Tuoyangkun, Zhang Yichuan and Liu Guineng, in terms of strength, Tuoyangkun and others are the weakest, and they are not treated by King Chuang, we simply secretly find out the information of Tuoyangkun and others, and when the time comes, send these information to the government, don't you and I make meritorious contributions."

Hearing Song Xiance say this, Niu Jinxing's face became cold, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.

"What Brother Song said is that you and I both think that the righteous army has no future, and you and I are overwhelmed by Gu Junen, it is difficult for us to do anything in the righteous army, so it is better to go to the government."

Song Xiance nodded slightly, on such a major matter, he paid attention to it, and such a thing was rare.

"Just do what you say, Brother Song, from tomorrow onwards, we will talk to King Chuang, Gu Junen and others, and continue to put forward some suggestions, mainly concerned about the situation of Tuoyangkun and others, so that King Chuang is very likely to inform you and me of the specific situation of Tuoyangkun and others, I expect that King Chuang also wants to let Tuoyangkun and others infighting, and will definitely inform you and me of the situation of Tuoyangkun and others."

Niu Jinxing nodded and looked at Song Xiance carefully.

"Brother Song, I can't imagine that you are so decisive in this matter, I really admire you."

"At this time, if you still hesitate, you don't know how to die in the future, Li Yan's experience is in front of you, maybe at this time, he is already dreaming of the red lady in his arms, but you and I are worried every day, such a day is not what you and I are willing to live."

Niu Jinxing nodded again, once the general direction is determined, he has to consider the details, just went to the street to eat, met the businessman who gave them the letter, although both sides are confidential, but who knows if it was seen by others, if it was asked by King Chuang, he couldn't answer it well, then there would still be a problem.

The two began to deliberate in secret, thinking of all the possibilities of existence, of all the details.

Sure enough, the next day, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance saw King Chuang, King Chuang asked about the whereabouts of the two yesterday lightly, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, who had been prepared for a long time, replied very calmly, Niu Jinxing said that his relatives in his hometown brought a letter to persuade him to go home, Niu Jinxing burned the letter and ignored the advice of his family.

Hearing Niu Jinxing say this, Li Zicheng just smiled and didn't say much.

After experiencing Li Zicheng's inquiry, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance realized more sensitively that Li Zicheng did not completely trust them, perhaps Li Zicheng was also suspicious of the whereabouts of Li Yan and the Red Lady, earlier Li Zicheng doubted whether Li Yan had taken refuge in the government, this suspicion was not completely eliminated, after all, Li Yan and the Red Lady were missing, and they had not heard that they had been killed, nor had they heard of going anywhere, so Li Zicheng would not fully trust Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance.

It was at this time that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were completely determined to leave the rebel army and defect to the government. (To be continued.) )
