Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The gate of the Zheng barracks was closed, and without Zheng Sen, the guerrillas could not make any decisions, so they were ordered to stay in the barracks.

A group of soldiers gathered around a carriage and arrived at the gate of the camp.

A young general urged his horse to the gate and raised his hand and shouted: "On the order of the general, arrest the prisoners and open the camp"

Although Xu Yiyang is young, he has been reorganizing the army in Nanjing for many years, and both the soldiers of the East and West Battalions and the officials of Ying Tianfu know the face of this little overlord. After hearing the warning, the guerrillas in the battalion gathered in front of the main camp, and a group of people muttered and discussed, but did not dare to open the door.

In the city of Nanjing, Dongying and Xiying have always been well water and river water, and there has always been some hostility between each other. Xu Yiyang shouted alone, and there was no response inside.

It was here that the coachman drove the black carriage to the front, and Ma Shiying lifted the curtain and walked out of it, flicking his sleeves to the gate of the Xiying barracks.

He was reserved because he was a courtier.

"On the orders of His Majesty and the Great General, the Assassins were captured, and some people saw the Assassins fleeing into the western camp and opened the door for investigation."

In the city of Nanjing, the emperor has always rarely come forward, and he still has some prestige.

After waiting for a while, before anyone opened the door, Ma Shiying's face sank down and said, "Are you trying to cause trouble for Zheng Sen?"

He turned his head to Xu Yiyang and ordered: "Come on, open the door"

Xu Yiyang waited for this sentence, and immediately commanded the soldiers to walk towards the gate of the camp with a bird's gun.

Before the soldiers could reach the door, the wooden door opened with a shrill "creak" sound, and there were twenty or thirty generals standing in two rows at the door. Seeing Ma Shiying for one person, he knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Meet Master Fu"

Ma Shiying lifted his leather boots and walked inside, he had dealt with sergeants a lot when he was the governor of Fengyang, and he was not afraid of these warriors. In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to facing Zhai Zhe, civil officials have an incomprehensible psychological advantage in front of the generals, which is the habit left by the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years.

"Get up," Ma Shiying waved.

Xu Yiyang led 500 soldiers to follow behind Ma Shiying and was blocked at the gate of the camp.

None of the generals kneeling on the ground moved, and the person kneeling in front was still holding his fists and asked, "Master Fu, what crime did my lord commit and was detained by the general in Dongying?"

"The general was assassinated yesterday, and now the imperial court is investigating this matter thoroughly, as long as this matter is settled, Zheng Sen will naturally be able to come back" Ma Shiying changed his words and said: "However, if Zheng Sen is related to the assassination, even the emperor can't protect him."

"How can my lord assassinate the general?" The generals kneeling on the ground were in an uproar, and they exchanged heads and ears in twos and threes. Zheng Sen's plan for this matter was very secret, and he even hid it from his father Zheng Zhilong, not to mention these generals in the battalion.

"Don't panic, don't make noise" Ma Shiying's face showed hesitation, and he reprimanded: "What kind of system is it to kneel here, and don't go to the Chinese army's tent to speak"

The group surrounded Ma Shiying to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Xu Yiyang led five hundred neatly draped soldiers to follow in and guard at the door of the big tent of the Chinese army. The generals of the western camp are all here, and the soldiers around them are looking at this side curiously.

Without Zheng Sen, Ma Shiying's fox fake tiger might, with a dignified appearance, sat on the tiger skin master of the Chinese army's tent, took out a portrait from his sleeve, and the generals showed it, saying: "You must all know this person."

Although the few black lines sketched by the painter are not so realistic, the general outline of Zheng Xiuyue has already been revealed.

There was silence under the tent.

"I know that this person is the Zheng family, but it is this person who colluded with the Japanese people and plotted to assassinate the general

Someone's face changed in the audience, and some people knew that Zheng Xiuyue sneaked into the barracks yesterday. The soldiers and horses of the Xiying camp did not leave the camp on this day in accordance with Zheng Sen's orders, and they did not know that the city of Nanjing had been turned over in order to arrest this person.

Ma Shiying saw the clue at a glance, rolled up the portrait and put it back on his sleeve, and said, "Find this person for me."

"Fu-sama" is gossiping.

After Zheng Xiuyue sneaked into the barracks, he didn't say why he came here. More than a dozen generals did not have a unified voice in the guerrillas, and they watched each other and did not know how to answer.

Ma Shiying shouted angrily: "Do you still want Zheng Sen to come back?" This portrait was described by the Assassin himself, and it was known throughout the city of Nanjing that he was a guard of the Zheng family who had wandered in the East. If this person is not handed over again, how can Zheng Sen clear the charge of assassinating the general? ”

The snake can't do without a head, and the soldier has no owner. The tent was quiet, and a pin could be heard clearly if it fell on the ground.

"Call Xu Yiyang in"

The big tent opened a gap, Xu Yiyang walked in with the handle of the knife, and two rows of soldiers followed Xu Yiyang into the big tent, lined up on the left and right of the big tent of the Chinese army.

The generals in the tent were in a panic, and someone actually pulled out a knife.

"Yu?" Ma Shiying slapped the table abruptly and shouted angrily: "Do you want to rebel, I am here to save Zheng Sen, you are so ignorant?" ”

A general standing at the forefront looked around and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, he turned his face to Ma Shiying and asked, "If we hand over Zheng Xiuyue, can Master Fu guarantee that my family is fine?" ”

"Of course" Ma Shiying replied very quickly, and asked rhetorically: "The clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid, do you think that Zheng Zongbing will assassinate the general?" ”

They couldn't imagine that Zheng Sen would assassinate the general.

Ma Shiying didn't give him time to think, pointed to the general and said, "You take Xu Yiyang to invite Zheng Xiuyue over, I don't know if this painting was scribbled by an assassin, but I just asked him to go back to assist in the investigation."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and everyone turned to look out. A moment later, two soldiers from the East Camp walked in with a soldier, who was the scout Qian Zong at the south gate of the West Camp. After entering the big tent of the Chinese army, he hurriedly told his superiors: "Oh no, the soldiers and horses of the general army have pressed over and surrounded us, and they are erecting forts around them. ”

For the general Zheng Sen's henchman, he had never encountered such a situation, and turned to Ma Shiying to look at him for help.

Ma Shiying took this opportunity and sneered: "The assassination of the general will inevitably come to the ground, if you don't hand over Zheng Xiuyue, you will be convicted of Zheng Sen's crime, it is hard to guarantee that the general's anger will not come to you, so you can do it yourself."

Xu Yiyang walked quickly to the general's side, blocked his view to the side, and urged, "Please."

Ma Shiying has been friends with Zheng Sen recently, and he is a courtier, so he still has a certain credibility in his words.

The general stomped his foot, turned and walked out of the tent.

Xu Yiyang followed him out, and called a hundred soldiers to follow him at the door, and the rest guarded the big tent of the Chinese army. This situation is like bullying other people's children when the adults are not at home.

Ma Shiying sat upright. After making such a scene, he and the Zheng family will turn against each other. The Donglin Party will not allow him, and the Zheng family will not allow him, if Zhai Zhe still refuses to let him go, he will only have a dead end.

One man walked in front, followed by four columns.

The sergeants and soldiers of the western battalion did not dare to move around at will, did not dare to make a noise, and only heard the sound of the Ming army of the Fengqin Department outside the camp.

Xu Yiyang quietly pulled out a handcuff from his waist, which was a sharp weapon imitated by the Hu Family Armory Workshop in Hangzhou based on Western firearms, which could be cast without ignition.

The general walked to a small camp tent and beckoned inside: "Zheng Guard" The guard has no military position, Zheng Xiuyue is Zheng Sen's close confidant, and often goes in and out of the camp.

The small tent did not move.

The general lifted the curtain and walked in, but the tent was empty.

"Zheng Guard" He walked out, looked left and right, and greeted loudly: "Zheng Guard? Where are you? ”

Xu Yiyang lifted the tent and looked inside, the tent was warm, the bed mat was neatly placed, and a pair of cloth shoes were placed in front of him.

The general retrieved several times in a row, rushed to the nearest sentry, and asked, "Have you seen Guard Zheng?"

"I went to the East Gate just now."

Xu Yiyang could hear it clearly, he entered the barracks from the east gate, and it must have been when Ma Shiying was talking in the big tent just now. He ran in the direction of the east gate and beckoned: "Chase me"

The general watched Xu Yiyang and the others go to the east gate, and his mind was confused for a while, "Could it be that Zheng Xiuyue is really related to the assassination of the general, otherwise why would he run?" ”

Xu Yiyang turned around a few tents, and a straight road led to the east gate in front of him, and he saw a figure negotiating with the soldiers guarding the gate in Dongying.

"It's right there" Xu Yiyang walked like a fly, shouting: "Catch him, he's a prisoner, don't let him run"

A herd of armor soldiers rushed forward like wild running bulls.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the figure suddenly knocked down the soldier at the door, and rushed out like a spirit snake swimming over the wooden door.

Of the five hundred people brought over today, only Xu Yiyang himself did not wear armor, and after a while, he threw all the soldiers behind, but Zheng Xiuyue was getting farther and farther away. Just as he was in a hurry, a group of soldiers and horses turned from the north, and a dozen cavalrymen urged the horses to gallop.

"Is the general soldier here?" Xu Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't sleep for a day and a night, and he didn't have much body left.

The cavalry chased the leaping figure, and someone drew his long knife, and the horse outflanked him like a sharp arrow.

Zheng Xiuyue saw that the way had been cut off, so she stopped and held the sword at her waist. More than a dozen cavalrymen circled five or six feet away from him, Xu Yiyang asked for a war horse and galloped over, and he was greeting from afar: "Catch him."

Zheng Xiuyue's expression was calm, he had been following Zheng Sen since he was in Japan, but he didn't expect to lose his life for a big event.

"Do you want to arrest me?" Facing the sunset, he shouted, his right hand shook violently, and the sword at his waist came out, and the sharpest edge slashed at the softest part of his neck.

A stream of blood shot into the sky, and the sword fell to the ground, and his body slowly fell.

The cavalry dismounted, and when Xu Yiyang came closer, blood was sprinkled everywhere on the ground, Zheng Xiuyue's face was as pale as rice paper, and only the qi that came out was left, and there was no qi in.

Xu Yiyang didn't have any mercy, looked at Zheng Xiuyue's wound and knew that it was hopeless, and scolded hatefully: "It's really quick to see the opportunity."
