Chapter 629: Becoming a King and Losing a Villain (Part II)
Zhu Chenhao finally got smarter, found the suspicion steadily, and sneered very well, when Cao Cao was defeated in the battle of Chibi, he walked Huarong Dao, and every time he went to a Jedi, he would always look up to the sky and laugh three times, and the general next to him asked very appropriately, "Why is the prime minister laughing", and then Cao Cao began to show off his knowledge of the art of war, if an ambush is set up here, I will wait for a way to live, it turns out that Cao Chengxiang's mouth seems to have been opened by the monks in the temple, and a guess is accurate......
In today's situation, Zhu Chenhao's appearance is no worse than Cao Cao's, and his sneering expression and wise gaze that seems to be able to see through all the fog of conspiracy in the world make his leadership charm bloom with dazzling brilliance at this moment.
A person who has been mixed with such a miserable situation still has such a confident face, which fully shows that Zhu Chenhao's psychological quality is still very strong.
As soon as it was said that the spring water was strange, all the soldiers were fluted, and after looking at each other, everyone's expressions were very disapproving, this is a wilderness, there is no ambush nearby, if there is a strange thing, the imperial court has already mobilized heavy troops to set up an ambush to surround them, who will do so much in the spring water?
"This place is suspicious everywhere, I can't hesitate to get on the road quickly!" Zhu Chenhao waved his hand heavily.
After saying that, he took the lead in getting on the horse, and then slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and suddenly turned around, only to find that all the soldiers had not moved, not even the horse under his own crotch.
Both humans and beasts have a strong opinion of him.
Running around all day long, everyone's mental and physical strength was only one line away from collapse, and Zhu Chenhao's unkind order finally aroused everyone's disgust.
Zhu Chenhao saw that everyone was not moving, and his face gradually turned blue.
Li Shishi stepped forward and whispered: "The prince is newly defeated." At present, all the people who are following you are loyal, everyone is already very tired, and I ask the prince to be kind to everyone to rest in a small formation, otherwise if you force your way, the soldiers are afraid of mutiny......"
Zhu Chenhao raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and finally endured the anger in his heart, and said coldly when he heard the words: "In this case, let's rest for a while, and find a war horse to try the spring water first." If there is no problem, let the soldiers drink it. ”
Li Shishi smiled: "What the prince is worried about is exactly. ”
Zhu Chenhao reluctantly chose to compromise. After a complete defeat, there were only less than a hundred soldiers left around him, and he couldn't afford to lose them anymore.
The soldiers cheered, and then they couldn't wait to get on their horses and rush to the clear spring on the side of the road. First took some spring water and let the war horse drink it. Then the crowd endured and did not move. Quietly watch the reaction of the war horse.
Half an hour later, the war horse was still shaking its head and tail, hanging its head and eating the grass on the ground. The reaction is all normal.
Zhu Chenhao smiled slightly bitterly, he was wondering if he was thinking too much, he was chased by the imperial court for days, he had become a frightened bird, and he felt that there was a conspiracy when he saw anything.
As for why there was a tripwire in the middle of the road just now, Zhu Chenhao couldn't figure it out, there was no ambush nearby, and there seemed to be no problem with the spring, so the origin of this tripwire really couldn't be explained.
However, Zhu Chenhao is now a prince who is fleeing for his life, not a quick arrest for the yamen to solve the case, since there is no danger, he simply doesn't want to think about things that he can't figure out, and saving his life is the most important thing.
After adjusting his mood, Zhu Chenhao waved his hand: "It seems that the spring water should be fine, it's the king who is too worried, everyone go and drink it, and hurry up on the road after drinking." ”
Everyone cheered again, and they rushed to the spring, drinking it regardless of it, even Zhu Chenhao himself was a cow drinker.
After everyone drank water and filled their own skins, Zhu Chenhao gave an order, and everyone cheered up and continued to rush towards Poyang Lake.
Until they rode their horses away from a pillar of incense, Tang Zihe rode a horse and appeared leisurely by the spring, seeing that the spring water accumulated in the stone puddle had been drunk by these people, Tang Zihe showed a cold smile on his face, which was extremely cold.
When he raised his whip and wanted to catch up, Tang Zihe didn't know what to think of, got off the horse with a wry smile, took out another packet of medicinal powder from his arms, sprinkled it evenly in the spring water, and muttered: "Where is the ruthless Hongyang girl before?" After taking the medicine, I have to continue to take the antidote, so as not to harm the nearby villagers, is this still me? ”
The voice was murmuring, as if resentful and resentful.
******************************************************************
Zhu Chenhao and the remnants of the soldiers were lying on the side of the avenue outside Nankang Mansion, their faces pale and desperate.
It was not only people who were lying on the ground, even the war horses they were riding were lying down, and their ears were filled with moans one after another, Zhu Chenhao wanted to run, but he was so soft that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Fear, despair, doubt...... All kinds of emotions filled Zhu Chenhao's heart.
Half an hour after going on the road, when the first war horse who drank the spring water collapsed on the road for no reason, Zhu Chenhao noticed that something was wrong, and after another half an hour, the entire team, including Zhu Chenhao, lost their strength and fell softly on the side of the avenue.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with us? What's going on? Li Shishi asked weakly.
Zhu Chenhao sat cross-legged on the grass on the side of the road, his eyes closed and silent, his face flushed with a desperate blue-gray.
"Mr. Li, this is definitely not the work of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court guard, this ...... This is the doorway of the rivers and lakes! A sergeant said weakly.
As soon as the words were finished, nearly half of the remnants of the soldiers agreed in agreement.
Most of the anti-army soldiers under Zhu Chenhao's command are mountain bandits and water thieves, which is regarded as the green forest road in the rivers and lakes, and they are naturally no strangers to this kind of tricks.
Listening to the sergeant's words, Zhu Chenhao was shocked, the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense, he tried to raise his hand, and found that he was still soft and unable to move, Zhu Chenhao looked around with difficulty, and said loudly: "I don't know which way the heroes of the rivers and lakes are nearby?" Ben Wang ...... Chenhao passed by here and forgot to worship the mountain, and asked the good man to forgive me, if it is convenient. Why don't you show up and see it, Rong Chenhao offered silver money to pay homage. ”
The grass rustled, a pair of extremely delicate purple embroidered shoes appeared in the eyes of everyone, the embroidered shoes are very small, you can imagine how delicate and delicate the golden lotus in the shoes is, Ying Ying grasped, leading people to reverie.
However, here and now, Zhu Chenhao and his subordinates are no different from the fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered, where do they dare to have the slightest charming idea.
Everyone's eyes gradually rose, but what caught their eyes was a very beautiful face. It should have been a hibiscus style, and her pretty face with spring in her eyes was now revealed. Gloomy and piercing.
Zhu Chenhao couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, and wanted to raise his arm and arch his hand, but found that he couldn't even lift his hand, so he had to give up with a wry smile.
"I thought he was a hero. But I didn't expect it to be a heroine. This girl. Shu Chenhao was unable to salute. ”
Tang Zihe's cold beautiful eyes looked at him, and after looking at him for a long time, he said, "You are Zhu Chenhao?" ”
Zhu Chenhao's heart sank. Everyone else named and named her surname, indicating that her plot was not accidental, she came for him, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good today.
"Don't dare to hide it from the girl, I am indeed Zhu Chenhao. Dare to ask the girl's surname? ”
Tang Zihe smiled coquettishly: "My name is Tang Zihe, I wonder if Prince Ning has ever heard my name?" ”
As soon as the words fell, not only Zhu Chenhao, but all the anti-army soldiers gasped together.
Who is Tang Zihe? The famous Bazhou female anti-thief! In terms of identity, Zhu Chenhao is the vassal king, but if he talks about his qualifications in the rebel world, Zhu Chenhao still has to bow to Tang Zihe and call him Tang's senior.
"It turned out to be Marshal Tang!" Zhu Chenhao's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and there was a bit of anti-thief and anti-thief, and the taste of pity, everyone came from all over the world, but the revolutionary goal was the same.
He is no stranger to Tang Zihe, in addition to the great reputation that caused turmoil in the three northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and more importantly, Tang Zihe has recently intersected with his rebellion.
"I have heard the name of Marshal Tang for a long time, Chen Hao only admired the demeanor of the marshal today, it is really a blessing for Sansheng, thank you for helping Chen Hao to assassinate Jun Zhu Hou......zhao not long ago."
is different from Ling Shiyi, Zhu Chenhao is not a Tang fan, he has always only spoken for himself, the reason why he is so numb and begs for Bai Lai Pan is really a must, at this moment, the old life is still in the hands of others, if you don't climb the relationship and hand over soft words, can the old life be saved?
No matter how noble the status is, the expression when you are humble is the same.
Tang Zihe smiled and waved his hand: "Don't thank you, Lord Ning, don't thank you, I didn't do this, I feel guilty about you in my heart......"
Zhu Chenhao hurriedly said: "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, the marshal reached out to help Zhu Mou, but it is real, no matter what the result is, Chenhao is still in mind." ”
Tang Zihe smiled more and more sweetly, covered his small mouth and laughed coquettishly for a while, and then his pretty face fell, and he said faintly: "I didn't expect the prince to be so magnanimous, the little woman didn't dare to hide it, and assassinated the emperor of the Ming court, but the little woman not only did not help, but made a stumbling block from it, the prince...... Will you thank me? ”
"Huh?" Zhu Chenhao was shocked, his face changed instantly, from iron blue to red to pale, and he regained his composure in the blink of an eye.
Now he understands that this Tang Zihe is planning to deal with him, how good it is that the opportunity to stab the king was disturbed by her, not to mention, when she was fleeing for her life, she also set a trap to cause him to fall into the way......
After all, Zhu Chenhao was once a vassal king, and the vassal king had the dignity of a vassal king, and after thinking about it, Zhu Chenhao no longer wanted to put on a face.
"When did this king offend Marshal Tang, please tell the marshal not hesitantly."
Tang Zihe's coquettish smile gradually turned cold: "Since the prince opened his mouth first, the little woman didn't hide it, originally the prince rebelled and I couldn't fight it, but there was a grievance, and the little woman had to solve it." ”
"What grudge?" Zhu Chenhao became more and more confused, and his expression was very innocent, he was actually very honest in the past year or two, except for burying his head in rebellion, he basically didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and he was also ignorant of this famous female thief, how could he have grievances?
Tang Zihe's expression somehow floated a little sadness, and his beautiful eyes gradually turned red.
After pursing his lips and taking a deep breath, Tang Zihe said slowly: "Lord Ning, you raised troops in Nanchang on June 14 of the third year of Zhengde, and your success or failure has nothing to do with me, but from the twenty-ninth day of June, I swear that one day you will fall into my hands!" ”
Zhu Chenhao shuddered: "Why?" ”
"Four hundred miles west of Nanchang, there is a city called Ruizhou Mansion, can the prince know?"
"Zhilu Dao, after Nanchang raised troops. The first of the soldiers under the command of this king was Ruizhou. ”
"Gao'an County under the jurisdiction of Ruizhou, there is a village outside the county called Weihe Village, can the prince know?"
Zhu Chenhao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Zhilu Dao, every city, every town and every village in Jiangxi is in the chest of this king. ”
Tang Zihe's voice was full of unconcealed sadness, like crying: "There are a total of seventy-three households in Weihe Village, and there are three hundred and twenty strong old people, women, children and children. The army passed through the village of Weihe. The elders of the clan in the village did not dare to slack off, led the whole village to stand at the entrance of the village and knelt to greet them, and slaughtered pigs and cooked sheep to the army. I had bad intentions. I want to forcibly have sex with him. If the patriarch and the elders of the village did not obey, the brutes under your command immediately turned their faces and were ruthless, not only raping and then killing all the women in the village. Even blatantly slaughtered the entire village! ”
"More than 300 people, in less than an hour, all of them were killed by those beasts under your command! After the killing, even the corpse was not buried, and the march continued......" Tang Zihe smiled colder than frost, and his tearful eyes were extremely resentful: "I have to praise the prince, your army is really ruthless!" ”
Zhu Chenhao's eyes widened in shock, and all the soldiers around him looked at Tang Zihe's almost hideous appearance, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
"Don ...... Marshal Tang, you are also the one who has led the generals......"
Tang Zihe smiled coldly: "Yes, I have led the soldiers, and the movement at the peak was no less than that of the prince, and the generals under my command were not less than the prince, but I am different from the prince, that is, ......"
Tang Zihe stared at Zhu Chenhao, and said slowly, word by word: "...... The soldiers under my command are all bloody men, and there is not a single brute! ”
Zhu Chenhao lowered his head and said, "The death of Weihe Village is indeed the fault of this king, but what does Weihe Village have to do with you?" ”
"Because I once owed a debt, a sinful debt, I want to spend the rest of my life to repay it, so I traveled to the world, hoe the strong to help the weak, cure the sick and save people, only after paying off this debt, I am qualified to continue to live, four months ago I passed by Weihe Village, cured more than ten villagers of serious illness, the villagers are simple, treat each other as benefactors, leave me to live in the village, all the rituals and lodging do not dare to slacken, but I did not expect that on the day of June twenty-nine I went up the mountain to collect medicine and did not return, When I returned to the village, there were dead fathers and villagers everywhere, and I buried the corpses of the villagers one by one with tears in my eyes, and then knelt in front of their graves and swore that I, Tang Zihe, would avenge them! ”
Sighing sadly, Tang Zihe said coldly: "Zhu Chenhao, everyone has ambitions, my ambitions were not smaller than yours, and I have vigorously created the rebellion of the court like you, and I also thought that one day I can emulate Wu Zhou and become a female emperor, but those who can sit firmly in the rebellion of the past dynasties and grass people are not careful to give benevolence to the people, whether it is sincere, or whether it is to invite the hearts of the people, in short, they have done it, like you, who regards the lives of the people as a mustard, if you let you sit in the Dragon Court, it will really make God blind, How can a person with an evil heart succeed to orthodoxy? ”
Tang Zihe said a lot, Zhu Chenhao closed his eyes and sighed, but Li Shishi on the side suddenly cried: "I always thought that the defeat of the prince was only because of the current situation, but I didn't expect it to be because of such a thing, if there is no such thing, maybe we have killed the faint monarch and sent the army to Nanjing, the prince, success or failure has its own providence!" ”
Tang Zihe sneered: "Everything has cause and effect, and there is retribution, and I, Tang Zihe, am the one who deserves retribution in the dark." ”
"If it's really retribution, if you become a king or lose a villain, what can you say!" Zhu Chenhao sighed and said disheartenedly: "Tang Zihe, since I have fallen into your hands, I will kill if I want to, but there is one thing I have to ask you, and you can't be a fool when you die." ”
"You ask."
"An hour ago, you were the one who stumbled on the official road? Is the medicine you gave in the spring water? ”
"Yes, I did it alone."
"I know that this is actually a chain of condoms, with a tripping horse I can stop, it is possible to find the spring water, I want to ask you, how long does it take for you to take the drug?"
"An hour."
"What if I let the horses taste it, and then wait patiently for an hour? Haven't you worked in vain? ”
"Lord Wang, you are now being chased and intercepted by the court, and your situation is very miserable, can you afford to delay for an hour? Half an hour to the sky, right? ”
"What if I forcibly order the soldiers to continue on their journey and not let the soldiers drink water?"
"I forgot to tell the prince, from the defeat of Anqing to the present, the little woman has followed the prince all the way, and you have not dismounted and rested for a whole day, I will use a tripping horse to make you stop, I don't believe you will not be tempted by the spring."
Zhu Chenhao was stunned for a long time, and finally lost his spirit, and said with a wry smile: "I have thought about dying countless times under the knife of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and even being killed by Zhu Houzhao himself, but I never thought that it would be planted in the hands of a woman, a small trap, and a doorway in the rivers and lakes, but it is the best of the times, and it is planted in the hands of the female heroes of the world, I am not wronged." ”
Tang Zihe's eyes were like knives, and he said coldly: "Lord Wang, if you are a human being in the next life, remember to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue for yourself." ”
Zhu Chenhao's face became more and more pale, and he smiled miserably: "Are you going to kill me?" ”
Tang Zihe shook his head: "No, it was the imperial court and the emperor who killed you, not me." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling at the end of the official road in the distance was heard, and the yellow sand and dust in the sky were flying. Zhu Chenhao and everyone were shocked, and their faces showed despair.
Tang Zihe squinted for a while, then smiled at Zhu Chenhao, got up on his horse, and flew away in the opposite direction.
Not long after she left, thousands of elite horsemen appeared in Zhu Chenhao's sight, looking at the brightly clad court officers and soldiers, Zhu Chenhao trembled violently.
"Lord Wang, hundreds of people in front of you are paralyzed in the grass by the side of the road for some reason." A knight clenched his fists.
The first person is wearing Mingguang armor, majestic and heroic, and it is none other than Wang Shouren, the governor of Tinggan.
Leading the generals to ride their horses in front of Zhu Chenhao and other remnants, Wang Shouren dismounted, looking at Zhu Chenhao, who was still paralyzed and unable to move, Wang Shouren looked at the nearby environment suspiciously, and then squinted at Zhu Chenhao, I don't know how long he watched, Wang Shouren's eyes widened in vain, his eyes showed an extremely excited gaze, three steps and two steps walked to Zhu Chenhao, without saying a word, he took Zhu Chenhao's hand and shook it up and down, very moved and sincerely thanked.
"The prince was desperate and deliberately paralyzed on the side of the road and was caught, giving me this great achievement in vain, and I was committed to high wind and bright festivals, and I was virtuous, so how could I teach Wang to be embarrassed......"
"The surname Wang, don't go too far......" (to be continued......
