Niu Dan and his party galloped and waited for the time when they saw the gate of the Ming Jingshi from afar, but it was still late, and the city gate was closed until dawn the next day, and it was a big thing that could not be opened again. Let Niu Dan shout in the city and break his throat, the Beijing camp defenders in the city were indifferent, and they were really annoyed by his shouting and threatened, "Don't make noise again, otherwise you will be killed as a chaotic party!" ”

Choked back in one breath, Niu Dan and his group looked for a place to stay in the gate outside the city, but they delayed the general's date, but it was difficult to sleep. The Guanxiang outside the gates of the Beijing Division was originally destroyed by the hands of the Tartars and the thieves in the two battles of last year and this year, respectively, and the people had long since fled, but after all, the people of the time valued their hometowns, and they returned to their hometowns one after another when they saw that the summer was about to pass, and for a while they also restored the prosperity of the former Guanxiang three or four out of ten.

The people don't know how the Ming army conquered, and they don't know how the court ministers are in charge of the flies and dogs, from Sun Chengzong to Li Xin, and then to Hong Chengchou, these famous generals and important ministers are like a few treasures, especially Li Zhengxi, who was artificially smeared with a trace of tragedy by word of mouth, but I don't know when there is one more person in these lists, that is, Liu Yuliang, the former cabinet minister, according to legend, he rescued Li Xin in order to understand the danger of Jinzhou, and only led 5,000 people who dared to die to die.

Although the gate of the city is closed, the wine shop and tea stall in this gate box are not closed with the darkness of the sky, and the hawkers who come and go from all over the world also have many contacts, or eat a bowl of tea to quench their thirst, or simply ask for two taels of sauce and meat in the wine shop, and a pot of old wine to eat and drink.

Niu Dan led a group of people to shuttle and even lost a little distraction, and in a trance there was a great return to the situation of the original peaceful and prosperous world, merchants came and went, and the people were comfortable, but this qiē has passed too long, and even his memory has been lost almost completely. However, the strange costumes of more than a dozen people immediately attracted the side eyes and curious eyes of passers-by, the military uniforms of the Three Guards Army were designed by Li Xin himself, with shirts and trousers, shiny copper buckles, five-finger-wide cowhide belts, big horse boots, arquebuses, all of which were combined together, revealing peculiarities everywhere. Moreover, there were a few Mongols such as Ullihan, and everyone avoided them everywhere they passed, for fear of colliding with these people.

Even so, the gossip of passers-by still fell into the ears of Niu Dan and his party, it seems that the people's views on the Three Guards are still full of sympathy, but the people's hearts are there, and they are still quite proud in their hearts, but this officer of the Three Guards does not know that the people's hearts and minds are a fart in the struggle for power and profit among the important ministers of the court.

"Hey, how many of you, but which country's envoys? How is it so peculiar to dress? ”

Finally, there were still bold people shouting and asking questions from afar, and there was a bit of drunkenness in the meantime. Niu Dan knew that he had been misunderstood by the people of Beijing, and when he replied, "We are not envoys of any country, but personal soldiers under the command of General Li Da, the former general of Shanxi Town, the general of the expedition to the west!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a buzz, and after the drunken man asked, he didn't know how many pairs of ears were waiting for them to answer the question, who would have thought that this leader would speak amazingly.

"Official, the general of Shanxi Town, the general of the expedition to the west, but the Li Xin who is trapped in the lonely city in western Liaoning?"

Niu Dan is arching his hand: "It's my general's name!" ”

After getting the confirmation, the inside of the gate was boiling, and the people rushed to tell each other, "Go and see, Li Zhengxi's personal soldiers are here, maybe Li Zhengxi is also here......"

"True or false? Isn't it Li Zhengxi who fled back in defeat? ”

"Phew! The dog can't spit out in his mouth, can't it be that Li Zhengxi drove away the Tartar and returned triumphantly? ”

These words, even the person can hardly believe that these days, whether it is the rumors in the market or the romance of the storyteller in the wine shop, Li Xin's situation in the Jedi is vividly depicted, as if he had seen it in person, Li Xin's tragic ending has long taken root in the minds of the people of Beijing, and it is also a vain disobedient word to say so.

Niu Dan quickly regretted his words and deeds just now when he admitted that he was Li Xin's personal soldier of the Three Guards, his words were tantamount to the twelve-pounder cannon of the red-haired ghost, and the power was unimaginable. Hearing this, the people who came almost in the blink of an eye surrounded it and could not move forward.

The people kept asking each other in curiosity, and when they saw that everyone was so enthusiastic, Niu Dan was very proud, and he replied tirelessly. This situation finally aroused the alarm of the Yamen Sooli Office, which maintained law and order, and sent people to disperse the people.

For a while, the atmosphere changed from enthusiasm to a ghost crying wolf, the people fled in all directions, the vendors overturned the stalls, and charcoal fires, pots, and chopsticks were scattered all over the ground. In just an instant, half of the people on the streets of Guanxiang were gone, leaving only the mess all over the ground.

Niu Dan was very angry, these dogs and eagles treated the people like this, which immediately aroused the resonance in his chest, when he fled with the refugees, wasn't he also expelled by people like cows, horses, pigs and dogs?

Hundreds of officials surrounded the strangely dressed people and horses of Niu Dan. After the people of Guanxiang gradually returned to their hometowns, the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the Shuntian Mansion were also very troubled in order to maintain law and order, due to the impact of the war, there were robberies and murders every time, and there were even many thieves who went deep to rob them. Therefore, the Yamen of the Sifu is also every night, as if facing a great enemy.

The officials saw that these dozen or so strangely dressed troublemakers were surrounded, but they saw that these people not only had war horses but also firearms and swords in their hands, and it was obvious that the clothes they were wearing were not the uniforms of the Ming armor soldiers, so there was only one possibility, these people were either spies or bandits.

Relying on their own large number of people, the officials did not have the slightest fear, and even a little bit of joy, if they really captured these bandits and thieves, they should receive a large bounty.

"Come on, take down these bandits to Lao Tzu!"

The head of the official did not ask about the indiscriminate, so he ordered Niu Dan and his party to be taken down.

Niu Dan just wanted to defend himself, but he heard a terrible cry that pierced the night sky.

"Save me, I'm the Yongping guard, these people are Tartar spies!" It was Yongping Shou who broke free from Gao Pingren's restraints, took the things blocked in his mouth, and asked for help. The officials were already preconceived, and when they heard someone crying for help like this, they felt like they were facing a great enemy.

Some people heard that even if they were a little frightened, they intended to report to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they sent troops to strangle them, but this opinion was quickly vetoed, after all, this is a great achievement that has fallen in vain, and it would be a pity if it was sent out lightly.

It was with this kind of luck that the officials rushed up, wanting to capture Niu Dan and others alive by virtue of the strength of the crowd, or kill them on the spot, without leaving a chance for Niu Dan to explain. Niu Dan explained, but no one listened to him.

"The Tartar apprenticeship is still very verbose, if you want to live, hurry up and get off the horse and surrender, otherwise you will all fall to the ground and blood will flow like a river!"

In the face of this kind of verbal threat, how could the Three Guards and the Mongolian cavalry who had experienced the sea of corpses and blood be in their eyes, not to mention that there were only a dozen of them, if they fought hard to defeat these hundred and ten officials, it would still be easy and easy. Wu Lihan knocked Gao Pingren unconscious with a fist, and pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and was about to fight with those self-defeating officials, but was stopped by Niu Dan.

"Wu Lihan can't make a mistake, this is the Ming Jingshi, don't cause trouble for the general!"

Niu Dan is only loyal but not stupid, he dared to set fire to the city gate in Yongping City, but he also knew that this kind of behavior was absolutely impossible at the feet of the Son of Heaven, otherwise even if the general had a hundred mouths on his body, he would not be able to explain it clearly.

At this moment, an arrow came out of nowhere, hitting the neck and throat of the head of the officer, and it seemed that he would not survive, and the situation was like a powder keg that had been ignited. After all, the Mongols are not under the command of Niu Dan, and when they see that there is a line between life and death, how can they be caught, and even if they move, they are followed by even the soldiers under Niu Dan's command and pull out the Yanling knife on their waists.

Seeing this situation, Niu Dan gritted his teeth, but his blood surged up, but he said, "Okay, follow me out of the encirclement!" "Seeing a conflict, the blood is inevitable, but suddenly I heard the sound of horses' hooves intertwined, and the sound of armor soldiers' cowhide boots swishing on the ground, from far and near.

After all, the officials are a rabble, and when they see these Tartars taking out their knives and moving in earnest, especially after seeing blood, they have long lost the idea of grabbing merit, and there is only one thing left in their minds, that is, they escaped and saved their lives.

Although these people's combat effectiveness is not very strong, they may even be some reserve soldiers who have never been on the battlefield and have never seen blood, but after all, they are a hundred times stronger than those who are a hundred times stronger than those who are a thousand times stronger.

Niu Dan looked around, only to see torches gathered from all directions, and secretly said in his heart: "I'm afraid I won't be able to run today!" ”

However, he still had a glimmer of hope, after all, the Ming army was much better than those blood-sucking officials, as long as he was willing to listen to his explanation, the misunderstanding could be resolved. But things backfired, and the reinforcements did not give him a chance to explain, and Niu Dan didn't even see the military academy of the first soldier, so these people rushed up......

Late at night, Zhu Youzhen, the great son of the Forbidden City, picked up the lamp to review the official documents, and suddenly a eunuch cautiously entered the palace, "Long live, it is said that some bandits and spies on horseback were caught outside the gate in the north of the city." ”

Since the Tartars broke through the siege of the city, and later even the thieves showed off their might in the Beijing Division, the public order inside and outside the Beijing Division has deteriorated day by day, especially the Guanxiang outside the city that has gradually regained popularity, Zhu Youzhen is not surprised by this, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

"The interrogation is clear, if there is no other situation, the canonical punishment will be clear, and it will be enough to set an example!"
