At this time, as long as there is a little difference between right and wrong, even if he has a trace of rationality, he can see at a glance that the current imperial court is already in name only, and now it is just a lingering breath, and Li Zicheng will dominate the world sooner or later.

Looking at the world, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that those who have the heart to enter the Dashun Dynasty, for example, there is no shortage of people who surrender to the city, and they will be given preferential treatment.

A shortcut to the south, nothing more!

Moreover, if he is really so loyal to Zhu Yihai, then he should protect himself as much as possible, accompany him all the way, assist the emperor to reorganize the court, and gain a firm foothold in another world.

Are these people really so loyal, all of them staying to attract the rebels?

Late that night, the wind howled, wave after wave of people and horses galloped out of Shaoxing City, running in all directions, under the cover of the dark night, only the sound of the horse's hooves running and the sound of the horse's whip beating the horse's belly.

At this moment, Shaoxing City is like an abandoned child, and like a deserted island in the sea, faintly filled with loneliness and vicissitudes, lanterns, scattered dotted on the city gate tower, more lonely.

It seems that God is also favoring Zhu Yihai and wants to help him, the night when the moon should have risen, it was pitch black at this time, and he almost couldn't see his five fingers, only the stars were still there, dotted on the night sky, which well concealed their whereabouts and figures of escape.

And, most importantly, even if it is discovered, there is nowhere to pursue it in the vast night.

I don't know when, east of Shaoxing Mansion, slightly northerly, in the dark, a voice sounded, filled with a faint sense of tension and apprehension.

"General, no, are we in the wrong place? General, you see, this is like a road to Ningbo Mansion, but the emperor asked us to escort Niangniang and them to Taizhou Mansion, and from there to take a boat into the sea, is there something wrong with this? ”

Mao Youlun's voice sounded in the night, and he responded disapprehantly: "What's wrong? Something happened, and General Ben was responsible! What's more, if they are escorted to Taizhou, they will walk hundreds of miles more, it is better to go directly to Ningbo Mansion and enter the sea from Jiaoguan, and they can also meet the emperor! ”

"Moreover, we are just one person, and we are in chaos, and we can't ensure the safety of Niangniang and Your Highness at all. The reason why I went from this road and chose to enter the sea from Ningbo Jiaoguan is because General Zhang Guozhu is on this road, if they join, they are really safe, even if they encounter rebels and bandits, they have the power to fight. ”

At this moment, a large number of torches and figures appeared around, the shadows were sufficient, the war horses neighed, this area suddenly became bright, surrounded Mao Youlun and his party, accompanied by the sound of horses neighing on both sides, when Mao Youlun and his party were frightened, there was a loud shout from the opposite side: "Quickly put down your weapons, surrender and don't kill!" ”

The fire was faint, the smell of smoke in the air was getting stronger and stronger, Mao Youlun and his party kept retreating, firmly guarding the carriage in the center, looking around vigilantly, vigilantly watching the people opposite, as the other party continued to approach, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

A person slowly walked out from the opposite side, and soon stopped, a hundred meters away from Mao Youlun and his party, far beyond the range of bows and crossbows, and shouted from afar: "General Mao, don't come unharmed, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

In an instant, Mao Youlun heard the owner of the voice and recognized the person, and he was immediately surprised and happy, with excitement on his face, and he just wanted to talk about something and get closer to the relationship between the two sides, but as soon as he saw the surrounding scene, he and the others were surrounded by water, as if they were poured a basin of cold water on their faces, and the whole person calmed down, and his heart sank.

"Hehe... General Mao, what's wrong with you? Why don't you reply to the next words? ”

Although he had a bad feeling in his heart and a certain guess that he didn't want to believe, he heard the familiar voice on the other side urging again, and then thought of the queen and prince in the carriage behind him, so he couldn't bite the bullet and pretended not to know: "General Zhang, is it you?" ”

"Yes, General Mao, it's General Ben, you finally replied and recognized it."

Mao Youlun was constantly looking around, he and the others were surrounded by water, it can be said that there are three layers inside, three layers outside, there is absolutely no possibility of rushing out, not to mention, there are so many "burdens" in the carriage behind him, and it is impossible to rush and break through with fists and feet.

When these thoughts flashed in his mind, although he had a judgment in his heart and knew that the other party was definitely not here to help, the situation was stronger than others, and Mao Youlun had to deal with the other party, delay time, and wait for the times to change.

"Hehe... It's really General Zhang, Mao was still saying just now that this time he evacuated Shaoxing Mansion, and he had to rely on the care of the general's subordinates, and now it just so happened that with the general's subordinates, escorted all the way, the queen's safety would be worry-free. ”

Mao Youlun still holds on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that the situation is not as bad as he imagined.

"General Mao, I, Zhang Guozhu, can't stand you, although I still escort the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince, but not to Ningbo Mansion, but Hangzhou Mansion, I hope General Mao can understand, don't complain about Zhang."

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion among Mao Youlun's subordinates, and they all became restless, and the vigilance just now was no longer so strong, and there was a faint intention of surrender.

Although he had been prepared in his heart for a long time, with this kind of speculation, Mao Youlun still couldn't control his anger and scolded: "Zhang Guozhu, why is this? Mao believes in you, with his past friendships and the heavy responsibility entrusted to the emperor, he will send someone to send a letter to you and ask for help, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, sentenced to the chaos army! ”

"Haha... General Mao, as the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things! ”

Zhang Guozhu laughed loudly, his words were filled with a faint sense of mockery, and after a slight pause, the momentum on his body became blazing, quite aggressive, and he said further: "During this time, what good things did King Lu do in eastern Zhejiang?" After ascending the throne, he only knew how to fight with Emperor Longwu of Fujian, compete for orthodoxy, let the traitorous ministers be a troubled place, attack each other, scrape the people's fat and ointment, make the people fall into misery, and make the people miserable. ”

For a while, when it came to the emotional part, Zhang Guozhu raised his eyebrows, his expression became cold, and without waiting for Mao Youlun to answer, he shouted loudly again: "The emperor of the Dashun Dynasty has a will, surrender and not kill, and when the future comes, when the Dashun Dynasty governs the place, there will be no shortage of your fields, and those policies that benefit the people are also treated equally, and they will not investigate the past, whether they have ever been a Ming soldier." Otherwise, there is only a dead end waiting for you! ”
