King Ning was suddenly moved to tears, and was supported by Zuo Mengeng's subordinates, pulled to the side to protect it, the battle continued, the soldiers of the left army were all wearing black fish skins, relying on their hands, holding harpoons, Emei thorns and other underwater weapons, like ghosts, fighting with the Taibao, they were all the children of the riverside fishermen carefully selected by Zuo Mengeng, with good water nature and strong martial arts, and they did not fall behind in the fight.

At the same time, the warships of the left army also came over, and the naval army mastered by the Taibao had a fierce battle, the left army was many ships, the army of King Ning was outnumbered, the battle situation showed a one-sided situation, in fact, there were many innocent people in the army of King Ning, who did not know the truth, but under the chaos of the war, how could they distinguish who was sincerely loyal to King Ning, and each other thought that the other party was the rebel army, this chaotic general, King Ning's only few thousand remaining men and horses were also beaten.

Although the Taibao are strong in martial arts, but they are all good at 6 battles, fighting on the shaky deck can not take advantage, they stand and retreat, jump to a small clipper next to them, pull up the sails, and want to run away, Zuo Mengeng, where can they escape, the Lingqi waved, two leftist crossbow boats leaned up, a burst of powerful crossbow arrows shot the clipper like a hedgehog, the boat, the tarpaulin, the sails were rocketed, ignited by the wind, the fire was ignited, the Taibao were full of fire, frightened screams, jumped out of the cabin and fell into the lake, wanting to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the fire was extinguished, but ushered in a dense crossbow arrows, not long after, these Taibao were shot into a honeycomb rebellion, after the rebellion was quelled, King Ning was in the left army's guardI went out of the cabin to watch, and saw that the water was full of corpses, and the flames on many warships had not been extinguished, and the green smoke was straight into the sky, and his army had been wiped out, and now he could only rely on Zuo Mengeng, the twelve Taibao.

Fortunately, although Zuo Mengeng grasped the situation, he still respected King Ning, and he dedicated the treasure map found from the corpse of the five Taibao to King Ning and said: "Father, the Taibao, the sons and ministers had to kill them, so that the father was frightened. King Ning said: "Menggeng, my son is still your most loyal, from now on you are the son of this king, let's go back to Nanchang and start up with treasures." "Although King Ning has many concubines, he has no heirs, so he accepted so many godsons, and now he says that he wants to crown Zuo Mengeng as the prince, on the one hand, he feels that he is indeed loyal and filial, and on the other hand, it is also to envelop him, after all, the current King Ning is already the commander of the light pole.

Zuo Mengeng naturally doesn't care about this

The title of "Prince of the World", he is as concerned about King Ning's treasures as other Taibao, but his methods are more clever.

After some civil strife, the strength of this water division on Poyang Lake has shrunk greatly, and if you continue to stay in Jiangxi, you can only sit and wait for death, and there is only one way to go, that is, to flee south overseas, and imitate Emperor Jianwen of the year, slowly expand your strength overseas, and wait for the right opportunity to return to the Central Plains.

Zuo Mengeng told King Ning about this idea, and King Ning had it

"Yong" Wumou briefly thought about it, then agreed, the soldiers were divided into two groups, and the team drove to the direction of Jingdezhen to attract the enemy's attention, Zuo Mengeng personally took King Ning back to Nanchang to dig treasure.

King Ning has collected a lot of rare treasures over the years, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, coupled with the collection of King Ning and the rewards of the emperors of the past dynasties, the treasures hidden in the family are not a few, in the cellar of the palace, the silver alone is piled up hundreds of thousands of taels, but the more important treasures are placed in the Tengwang Pavilion outside the city.

Tengwang Pavilion has actually become the villa of King Ning, the building is full of expensive calligraphy and paintings, the ancient shelves are antiques, when Wu Sangui's army occupied Nanchang, he immediately sent troops to take over Tengwang Pavilion, strictly protected it, and did not allow people to move, and Liu Ziguang did not immediately raid the house after he came, he was waiting for the will of Nanjing, after all, now the imperial court has not officially removed the title of King Ning, his palace and other industries can not be raided at will, and the family members of the palace must also be well served.

In the evening, King Ning and Zuo Mengeng wore the clothes of ordinary people, escorted by more than a dozen elite soldiers, to a small forest near King Teng's Pavilion, just after the rain, the forest was muddy, everyone walked with a deep foot and a shallow foot, it is said that this is the exit of the secret road in King Teng's Pavilion, all the emperor's relatives have a hobby of digging the secret passage to escape, King Ning is no exception, he took the map and found an inconspicuous grave according to the map, signaled his subordinates to pull the tombstone, the tomb made of bricks suddenly appeared a black hole, the entrance of the hole suddenly appeared, Zuo Mengeng was just about to go down, King Ning waved his hand, let people hang a lit candle with a basket first, went down, the candle shook twice, and extinguished King Ning"If you don't use the secret passage for a long time, you must have poisonous gases and other poisonous gases before you can enter it. Zuo Mengeng nodded gratefully, although King Ning is sometimes crazy and ignorant, his character is indeed not bad, and when he needs to make a decision in the future, he can consider letting him live.

Zuo Mengeng had a different ambition in his heart, King Ning was unaware of it, and after a while, he asked people to put a candle down again, this time the candle was not extinguished, and King Ning said: "You can go down." This time, Zuo Mengeng was not so stunned, he first sent a subordinate to climb down, and when he saw that he was fine, he went down in person, and King Ning also followed, and four or five people crawled along the secret passage to King Teng's Pavilion, and the exit of the tomb outside was temporarily closed, leaving only a few people crying and crying, kneeling in front of the grave and burning paper, in fact, looking at the wind.

The secret passage is very neatly repaired, the arched roof is paved with blue bricks, and the next person hunched forward, I don't know how long it takes, and finally reaches the end, there is a Nanmu box in the small space, open the box, only to see that there are two sets of clothes on it, one is the monk's robe, and the other is the cloth clothes of ordinary people, it seems that this is a preparation for escape, take away the things under the clothes, sparkle in the light of the candlelight, the pearl green of the egg, the size of the pearl green, the dusty jade, the red sapphire, the diamond, the agate, There are many ivory cat's eyes, all of which are valuable treasures, and there are also a large number of gold ingots that can be highly liquidated.

In the silent space, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard clearly, Zuo Mengeng peeked at the eyes of several subordinates around him, and the eyes of several of his subordinates were as greedy as wolves, and his heart sank, and he quickly closed the box and asked, "Father, is there anything else?" King Ning said: "There is no one in the secret room, but there are a lot of good things in King Teng's Pavilion, and if you have the courage, you can go out and get some." "The courage of the person in front of the treasure will become very big, Zuo Mengeng gritted his teeth, and resolutely decided to take a risk, pushed open the baffle above the secret room, and climbed out, which is the entrance to the secret passage of King Ning's bedroom in King Teng's Pavilion, just on the bed, Zuo Mengeng quietly lifted the corner of the bed board and peeked at it, only to see that the room was empty, so he crept out and walked around, only to see a seal on the door, and a hundred and ten officers and soldiers stood downstairs, it seems that the imperial court just sealed this place, and did not plan to requisition.

King Ning also quietly crawled out, he was familiar with the way, knew where the treasure was, commanded Zuo Mengeng and others to take off the calligraphy and paintings on the wall one by one, and put the treasures on the Bogu shelf into their pockets, quietly swept away the valuable things, and then retreated to the secret passage, the box containing the treasures was too heavy, they stuffed the treasures into the pockets they brought, and returned to the exit point along the secret passage.

By the time they crawled out of the exit of the grave, it was late at night, and they had no time to rest, got on their horses, and galloped away, and headed straight south for the night.

On Poyang Lake, the airships of the imperial court have been paying attention to the movements of Ning Wangjun from afar, and sure enough, after receiving the leaflets, they made a fire and lost half of their troops, and after a battle, the sailors advanced eastward, and the airships hurriedly notified the imperial court sailors who were following behind, trying to wait for work, and also quickly maneuvered eastward, who knew that the left army sailors suddenly divided their troops again, some to the east, some to the west, and some to the south, so that the airships were not easy to follow.

I had to choose the most boats to follow along the way, and after these people landed on the shore, they did not set up camp or attack the county seat, so they disappeared in the mountains and forests in pieces.

The reply of the imperial court soon arrived, abolishing the title of King Ning, demoting him to a concubine, and all family property was confiscated.

"I remember that there is a handwritten "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" hanging in the middle hall, why is it missing?" Wu Sangui pointed to the empty wall and asked the sentry on duty, speechless, speechless, Wu Sangui looked around angrily and became even more annoyed: "What about the antiques on the Bogu shelf?" What about the ancient books on the shelves? Don't you dare to guard and steal yourself, aren't you afraid of military law! Frightened, all the troops knelt down together and said that they had been wronged.

Liu Ziguang was still calmer, he carefully looked at the doors and windows and said: "It definitely won't be a thief outside, but it may not be our officers and soldiers who did it, I think this thief is someone else." Wu Sangui knew that Liu Ziguang had the reputation of Liu Qingtian and was a master of the Ming Dynasty's case judgment, so he hurriedly asked: "Big brother, take a look at who did it?" Because it was Wu Sangui's subordinates who guarded Teng Wang's Pavilion, he was unwilling to bear the charge of lax imperial control, so he naturally hoped that Liu Ziguang could help these soldiers clear their names.

Liu Ziguang let everyone exit the lobby, he was alone and carefully observed, the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" hung very high, if you don't climb the road, it is difficult to take off the high place, the best place to climb is the wall of the strip, Liu Ziguang walked over to take a look, sure enough, there is a clear footprint on the machine, and there is some soil that has been dried, and then look at the Taishi chair next to it, there is also a similar footprint.

Liu Ziguang called over a soldier guarding Teng Wangge, asked him to raise his foot to look at the soles of his shoes, glanced at them, and let him go down, and then looked around for a while, and finally seemed to follow some traces upstairs, and after a while, his shout came: "Come up, Ben Hou has found a clue." ”
