More than 50 people from various inspection points, commanders, army commanders, and division commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army gathered together, waiting for the results of Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's meeting with the King of Han. Since arriving in Nanjing, this has become their routine.

Seeing Li Fengxiang and Li Kaifang coming in, they were silent, and Ji Wenyuan knew that he hadn't seen His Royal Highness the King of Han this time, and couldn't help but complain again: "What does this King Han mean, it's been seven days since we came to Nanjing, and His Royal Highness is no matter how busy he is, he should have met us a long time ago!" ”

Zhu Xikun admired Li Yunzhong, the king of the Han Dynasty, very much in Guangxi, so he was not afraid of staying in Nanjing, but asked Lin Fengxiang: "Prime Minister Lin, I heard that you still have a friendship with His Royal Highness the King of Han, and it was you who ransomed the King of the South together with the King of Han, how could His Royal Highness the King of Han not receive you?" Is there some misunderstanding in the middle? ”

Lin Fengxiang remembered that he was bewitched by Lu Xianba and Ji Wenyuan in Changsha, and his face was ashamed and silent.

Huang Yiyun was stopped by the Han army when he returned to the barracks several times, and he didn't hide it in his heart, and said angrily: "Why didn't the King of Han let us go back to the barracks, but instead put us under house arrest in the State Guest House, this is too unusual!" ”

"What's wrong with Nanjing, why are you in a hurry to go back to Sichuan?" A female general asked innocently.

Li Kaifang listened to the voice and knew that this was the voice of Ye Lian, the commander of the former Thirteenth Army, there was only one female general here, and all the former Thirteenth Army was cavalry, Ye Lian had a great contribution, and blocked the iron cavalry of Seng Lingqin at several critical moments, so that the Northern Expeditionary Army could withdraw to Jiangsu, and explained: "We were ordered by the King of Heaven, the Northern Expedition to Youyan, and now that we have failed, it is better to return to Tianjing as soon as possible to restore our lives, so as not to blame the King of Heaven!" ”

Ye Lian asked, "Then why doesn't the King of Han want to see you?" I think you must have offended His Royal Highness the King of Han! ”

Ji Wenyuan, who was provoked, said angrily: "Bold! Don't you have a little military commander who is inferior or inferior? ”

"The old lady donated her family wealth and recruited troops to oppose the Qing Dynasty, for the people who are suffering in the world, not as a tool for you to fight for power and profit!" Ye Lian has long been dissatisfied with the King of Sichuan and the King of the East, they have fought for thousands of miles, lack of food and clothing, and have almost wiped out the whole army several times, and they have not seen Sichuan send troops to support, and today they have said everything in their hearts.

Lin Fengxiang saw that many new people were approving, and hurriedly spoke to ease the atmosphere: "Why don't I beg Xiao Wangniang again tomorrow, I hope she will help us this time for the sake of King Nan!" ”

Li Yunzhong looked at the list of personnel above the division commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army: Jing Huhou, Tianguan Deputy Prime Minister Lin Fengxiang and Dinghu Hou, Diguan Zheng Prime Minister Li Kaifang and Ping Huhou, Chunguan Deputy Prime Minister Ji Wenyuan, Suppress Hu Hou, Chunguan and Deputy Prime Minister Zhu Xikun and Hu Hou, Winter Official and Deputy Prime Minister Huang Yiyun......

"There are 5 prime ministers, 8 inspectors, 10 commanders, 28 army commanders and division commanders, shout! And a female marshal, have they all arrived? Li Yunzhong was going to meet with the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army and get to know them in advance.

Xiao Yunmei, who was in charge of the security of the palace, replied: "They are already waiting in the side hall, and their weapons have been confiscated. ”

Su Sanniang was apprehensive about what happened in Changsha, and persuaded: "The husband still meets Lin Fengxiang and the others one by one, lest they plot against each other!" ”

Li Yunzhong held Sanniang's jade hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I have ambushed 100 female saber players and 50 musketeers around, if they dare to make any changes, immediately send them to heaven and meet God and his old man!" ”

Chen Yucheng noticed that the King of Han arrived at the door of the side hall, leaned out of his ghostly head, pointed behind him, and whispered: "Your Highness, I am ready for the musketeers, and they are all ambushed outside the house." ”

"I said, what are you afraid of? We want to be above board! I'll go in later, and in a quarter of an hour, you'll immediately lead everyone to rush in, and remember to behave murderously! Li Yunzhong estimated that a showdown would already be possible in 15 minutes, lest Li Kaifang and others jump over the wall in a hurry and hijack themselves to get out of Nanjing, after all, they have criminal records, and there is no need to be polite to them.

Ye Lian saw that she had waited for a long time, and no one came in, so she kept looking at the door, wanting to see what the world-famous King Han looked like, and after a long time, she naturally imagined it in her heart according to the appearance of Lin Fengxiang and others, bearded, long hair, thirty or forty years old, wearing a yellow robe......

Li Yunzhong brewed momentum, walked into the side hall with tiger steps, glared at Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others fiercely, and slowly walked to the top seat.

"Hey! Brother! Why haven't you Han King come to see us yet, it's been an hour since morning, and we haven't eaten yet! Ye Lian saw a short-haired young man in his twenties walk in and couldn't help complaining.

Li Kaifang and the others glanced at each other, and there was no time to blame Ye Lian, so they hurriedly got up and knelt down and said, "The little ones see His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

Some people who had never seen Li Yunzhong were dumbfounded, and after reacting, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and their hearts were surprised and panicked.

Li Yunzhong looked at Ye Lian and asked, "You are Ye Lian?" Former commander of the 13th Army? I heard that you have defeated the cavalry of the monk Grinchen many times? ”

Ye Lian's momentum disappeared, and she bowed her head and replied: "The little woman is Ye Lian, offending Tianyan, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Li Yunzhong reminded himself that he only had 15 minutes, and he couldn't waste time on such a trivial matter, and said loudly: "Get up, we big men don't kneel and bow." ”

"Your Highness Xie" Everyone got up and consciously stood in two rows, and no one returned to their seats.

Li Yunzhong looked at the few people in front of him, and said meaningfully: "Brother Lin, Brother Li, Brother Ji, since Changsha parted, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the younger brother was kind enough to take you in, but I didn't expect you to take revenge ......."

Li Kaifang saw that Li Yunzhong really brought up the old matter again, and hurriedly explained: "We are also deceived by villains, the King of Han has God blessed, how can we be hurt by ordinary people like us!" ”

Ji Wenyuan was terrified, he was the one who instigated Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to make trouble, and he personally led troops to attack Li Yunzhong's residence, afraid that Lin and Li would all blame themselves, and defended: "Your Highness Mingjian, it was Lu Xianba's villain who sowed discord, saying that King Han, you want to take in and plot to kill us, the king of the south is newly mourned, and our six gods have no master before they fainted for a while and led the army to rebel, please forgive us......

Huang Yiyun suddenly realized, no wonder King Han didn't meet them in the past few days, it turned out that there was such a thing, involving the secrets of the upper echelons, Huang Yiyun didn't dare to intervene, and was silent.

Li Yunzhong decided to scare them, "At the beginning in Changsha, because you mutiny in the city, not only did the Han army suffer heavy losses, but even the Taiping army was trapped in Changsha and fought hard with the Qing army for more than a month. ”

Li Kaifang was clever and understood that the King of Han had already done it if he wanted to kill them, but now he was just scaring them, and said clearly: "What does the King of Han command, although he says it bluntly, I will do it!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... Li Kaifang, Li Kaifang, I valued you very much as early as Bauhinia Mountain, but it's a pity that you followed Xiao Chaogui, the mistakes you made, King Yi has already confessed for you, I don't care! But I have something for you to do. Li Yunzhong estimated that the time had come, and he said what he thought. Recently, the Qing army has been rampant, and Zhang Guoliang's troops in Zhejiang have repeatedly violated the border and slaughtered my Han people, I plan to transfer you to Jiangnan to listen to it, what do you think, no, should it be willing? ”

Lin Fengxiang and the others were dumbfounded, looking at each other, didn't this make the King of Han co-opt, they were all silent, not daring to speak out against it, hoping to escape the catastrophe.

Li Yunzhong patted the chair and said angrily: "Whether it is life or death, you can choose for yourself!" ”

Li Kaifang saw that things couldn't be good, and he defended himself hesitantly: "Your Royal Highness the King of Han, you also know that without the orders of the King of Heaven and the King of the East, he acted without authorization, and when he returned to Tianjing, he would inevitably be snowed in the clouds!" ”

"You are afraid of returning to Tianjing in the clouds and snow, so let's rain in the clouds here!" When Li Yunzhong heard the sound of neat footsteps, he knew that Chen Yucheng was about to come in.
