~~~~~~~~

Not long after, Liu Wenxiu was taken to the hall by several military men.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Although the thieves had been exterminated by the Colored Stone Army, almost all of the battles took place in the outer city, and those of them in the inner city had never seen it with their own eyes.

And Liu Wenxiu, as one of the righteous sons of the thief, can be described as a famous man in the land of Huguang!

At this time, he appeared in front of everyone, just like the first time he saw a tiger in the zoo, how could everyone still sit still?

Looking at this group of officials who were about to become pigs and sheep in their hands, Liu Wenxiu couldn't help sneering in his heart, but his eyes swept over everyone, and he soon found a young man in the middle of the crowd, wearing a golden helmet, smiling at him.

Liu Wenxiu's heart was cold, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Liu Wenxiu, the general of the defeated army, has seen the Duke of Qi!" ”

He can regard Zhu Yiming as nothing, he can also regard Zhu Changfa as nothing, and even, he can also regard the entire Huguang magnate as nothing, because he does have this capital!

From the early years of Chongzhen, following his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong, for more than ten years, Liu Wenxiu almost crisscrossed the four places of the Ming Dynasty, but the imperial court did not have any way at all, but countless court members were cut down by them one by one!

It's just that in the face of Liu Ruyi......

Liu Ruyi also smiled at Liu Wenxiu in front of him at this time, only to see that he was very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, red lips and white teeth, and a delicate appearance.

Liu Wenxiu didn't dare to face Liu Ruyi's gaze, and lowered his head humbly.

Liu Ruyi smiled, "General Liu has lost his way and returned without causing unnecessary consequences, which can be regarded as a beautiful thing!" Please get up! Come, I'll introduce you! This is Lord Xiang, why don't you hurry up and salute the prince? ”

How could Liu Wenxiu not understand what Liu Ruyi meant, and hurriedly bowed deeply to Zhu Yiming, "Defeated Liu Wenxiu, I have seen the prince!" ”

Zhu Yiming smiled and waved his hand, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back raw.

Liu Ruyi glanced at Zhu Yiming, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Yiming three points higher in his heart, and said with a smile: "The thieves, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu have been surrendered, and Ai Nengqi died in battle, so the foundation of the thieves has been broken, and Ruyi can finally deal with the emperor and the elders!" ”

Liu Ruyi paused, glanced at everyone, turned his head to Zhu Yiming and said: "Prince, the body of the thief, the body of Ai Nengqi, Ruyi wants to be escorted into Beijing by the prince, but for the rest of the generals under the command of the thief, Ruyi wants to deal with it alone, I don't know what the prince wants?" ”

Zhu Yiming didn't expect Liu Ruyi to give half of this great achievement to himself, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, how could he still pay attention to Liu Ruyi's small methods in private at this time, and said busily: "Qi Guogong is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix among people, Xiao Wang thanks Qi Guogong for his love!" The main force of the thieves was destroyed by the Duke of Qi, and the specific affairs were naturally decided by the Duke of Qi! There is no doubt about this king! ”

Zhu Yiming turned his head and swept at everyone again, "Do you have any doubts?" ”

Joke!

The Duke of Qi and King Xiang have already set the tone, these powerful people around them, they are not stupid, where dare to jump out and say half a 'no' at this time?

"The Duke of Qi is wise, and the prince is wise!"

"I don't have any doubts!"

Suddenly, everyone expressed their attitude.

Liu Ruyi smiled and nodded to Zhu Yiming, people respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot, so, it is the best of both worlds.

The atmosphere in the hall eased instantly.

Liu Ruyi glanced at Liu Wenxiu and said with a smile: "General Liu, since this is the case, you go down first!" Regarding Li Chuang's matter, my father-in-law still wants to ask you for some information, well, let's do it! You write down what you know first, and your country will read it when you have time! ”

Where could Liu Wenxiu not understand what Liu Ruyi meant, and hurriedly kowtowed with joy: "Qi Guogong rest assured, the little one will definitely know everything, and he will say everything!" ”

Soon, Liu Wenxiu was taken out of the hall.

At this time, a pro-soldier walked in quickly and whispered a few words into Liu Ruyi's ear.

Liu Ruyi's face was slightly cold, but he returned to his original state in an instant, and he turned his head to look at Zhu Yiming, "Lord Wang, there is someone, I don't know if you want to see it?" ”

Zhu Yiming was stunned, but seeing that Liu Ruyi's expression did not seem to be fake, he nodded, "Xiao Wang is willing to listen to the decision of the Duke of Qi!" ”

Liu Ruyi nodded and waved his hand, "Bring it in!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Zhang Kejian, the supervisor of the army, was tied up like a dumpling and brought to the hall.

"Lord, help! Xiaguan, Xiaguan didn't commit any crimes! Why, why do you treat your subordinates like this! When Zhang Kejian saw Zhu Yiming, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, with a lot of snot and tears, and he kowtowed desperately.

"Qi Guogong, this, this is ......" Zhang Kejian and Zhu Yiming have an old relationship, seeing this, Zhu Yiming looked at Liu Ruyi as if he was busy asking.

Liu Ruyi sneered slightly, "Lord Wang, my lords, after the elder entered Sichuan, this Zhang Kejian is the highest military official in Xiangyang City. But at this time, the thief led the army into Xiangyang City, do you know the way, where did the brothers under my command meet our supervisor? ”

Hearing Liu Ruyi say this, everyone's faces couldn't help but change slightly, and they were busy waiting for Liu Ruyi's next words.

Liu Ruyi waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers around him, "You come and tell your lords, where did you meet our supervisor!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly bowed their hands, "Returning to the country's grandfather, we are chasing Liu Wenxiu's department, and on the way back to Xiangyang City, we met the supervisor on the north riverside!" At that time, the general was accompanied by one of his concubines, as well as ......"

The soldiers secretly glanced at Liu Ruyi.

"Say!"

"Yes! And a lot of gold and silver and a bullock cart! At that time, the Overseer was preparing to find a boat to cross the river! Unfortunately, it was late at night and there were no ships! Seeing us coming, the Supervisor hurriedly showed his seal, and learned that the battle in Xiangyang City had been decided, so he returned to the city under our escort! ”

Before the soldiers finished speaking, Zhu Yiming's face had turned red into a pig's liver color.

He never dreamed that the supreme military governor of the imperial court who stayed in Xiangyang City would actually run away before the war started!

This, where does this put him Zhu Yiming?

Where will this end up the Ming Dynasty?

"Qi Guogong, Zhang Kejian deceived the king, fled before fighting, and abandoned 100,000 people in Xiangyang City, it is an unforgivable sin! Xiao Wang implored the Duke of Qi to uphold justice for the 100,000 people of Xiangyang City! Zhu Yiming stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Ruyi.

Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, also had a little blue in his face, "Duke Qi Guo, what is the use of such a kingless and fatherless disciple?" It's better to slaughter it directly, and save our tongue as a waste! ”

The rest of the magnates also scolded non-stop, obviously, Zhang Kejian's run away completely violated everyone's taboo.

Liu Ruyi saw everything in his eyes, but he was slightly happy in his heart, he didn't expect that Zhang Kejian was really sensible, and he actually jumped out at this moment and let himself grasp the handle.

Thinking about it, Liu Ruyi hurriedly arched his hand to everyone: "Everyone, I can understand your feelings!" However, after all, Zhang Kejian is a second-class member of the imperial court, and the public of his country is afraid that he has no right to dispose of it, right? In this matter, it would be better for the prince to play the court and wait for the emperor to send it! ”

Although Zhang Kejian is already a public enemy of Xiangyang, Liu Ruyi doesn't want to attack him immediately!

There is a saying that 'flies don't bite seamless eggs'!

At this time, the thieves have been destroyed, if Xiangyang, and even Huguang, become a monolith, this is not in Liu Ruyi's interests!

To put it more bluntly, everyone wants to kill Zhang Kejian, but Liu Ruyi wants to protect him!

Not only to protect, but also to protect him completely!

This is no longer a military level, but a complete coverage of Liu Ruyi's influence on the Duke of Qi!

Sure enough, seeing the hateful eyes of Zhu Yiming and others, Zhang Kejian was originally devastated, but when he heard Liu Ruyi's tone, Zhang Kejian reacted instantly, and kowtowed desperately: "Qi Guogong, please help!" Xiaguan, Xiaguan is also helpless! There are only 3,000 soldiers in Xiangyang City, and the city gate has been lost. Fortunately, Qi Guogong arrived in time to save the people of Xiangyang and the water and fire, otherwise, the lower officials, the lower officials are really dead and cannot be redeemed! ”

"Zhang Kejian, you despicable villain! The thieves have already entered the city, but why don't you inform the people in the city in time, so that the people have room to escape! Why did you run away first? Don't you deserve to die if you act like this without a king and a father? Zhu Yiming said sharply.

"Lord Wang, at that time, someone had already been sent to ......" Zhang Kejian had to explain, but seeing Liu Ruyi's cold eyes, he suddenly realized that today's matter seemed to be a bureau of Qi Guogong! This is Shengsheng to pull himself into the game!

Zhang Kejian has been a high school scholar since his early twenties and has been an official for 30 years, so he naturally has this political consciousness!

He secretly glanced at Liu Ruyi and hurriedly closed his mouth tightly.

Looking at the voices of condemnation around him, Liu Ruyi smiled faintly, "You don't have to worry too much!" Although Mr. Zhang has a real job, fortunately, the risk has been resolved! Xiangyang is the Xiangyang of my Ming Dynasty! Huguang is also the Huguang of Daming! It is also a fact that the Huguang soldiers are brave and weak! If Lord Zhang really wants to be tough, I'm afraid he won't be able to take any advantage! This matter is best left to the court to judge! However, in this situation, although the thieves are gone, the remnants of the thieves are still there, Lord Zhang, you are a prison soldier, and you have been following the elder of the pavilion, to face this situation, what do you say? ”

Zhang Kejian's brain was spinning rapidly, at this moment, how could he not understand Liu Ruyi's intentions?

Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Qi Guogong, Huguang soldiers are brave and weak, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the remnants of thieves from all walks of life, although the lower officials are not talented, but they have always followed the elder of the pavilion!" As the elder said, if the Duke of Qi is willing to garrison Huguang, he will definitely be able to protect Huguang's safety! ”

Zhang Kejian said, and kowtowed to Liu Ruyi again, "I implore the Duke of Qi to put the 100,000 people in Xiangyang City as the priority and garrison Huguang!" In this way, even if the subordinate official is cut off from his post and exiled for 3,000 miles, the subordinate official will have no regrets! ”
