Not long after, in the suburbs thirty miles away from Xuanfu City, Du Xun stood there in a dress, his eyebrows and eyes full of flattery, with a flattering bright smile on his face, looking at the other side like a pug.

Although Du Xun's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't hide his happiness and confidence, his heart was pounding and nervous, to be precise, it was a kind of fear and fear without confidence.

Li Jiajun was slowly coming, gradually approaching, tens of thousands of troops were like a monstrous flood that had been slowed down, slow, and wrapped in an oppressive atmosphere, some of Du Xun's entourage could not bear this suffocating momentum, or retreated, or turned and fled.

Especially the chaotic sound of rumbling horses' hooves, against the backdrop of the flying dust rising from the sky, seemed to trample on their hearts with every step, and at the same time made Li Jiajun's image more and more majestic and tall, which was breathtaking.

Du Xun's heart was also very scared, and he didn't have any confidence at all, but he still pretended to be calm, his body was slightly rickety, and he was wearing a eunuch suit, which made him look more and more respectful and looked like he had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Li Zicheng rode a horse and stood at the forefront, looking at Du Xun who was bowing and waiting, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, slightly cocked, and suddenly grabbed the reins, and the war horse under his crotch suddenly walked quickly, and came to Du Xun in a blink of an eye.

I have to say that he is worthy of being a celebrity in front of Chongzhen, and he is very popular in the court, Du Xun still has some eyes, although Li Zicheng is tightly wrapped in a battle armor and winter clothes, but he still recognizes it at a glance, and applies a etiquette that a dog slave is accustomed to.

"Du Xun has seen King Chuang, welcome King Chuang to enter Xuanfu City!"

Hiss~!

With the neighing of a war horse, Li Zicheng pulled the reins, stopped firmly in front of Du Xun, and stepped on the stroll of the war horse, looking back and forth around Du Du, and the smile on his face was even stronger.

"Hehe... You are Du Xun, the supervisor of the Xuanfu? ”

"Yes, King Chuang!"

After Du Xun replied respectfully, he saluted again, and then said flatteringly: "King Qi, the servants have already discussed with the generals of Xuanfu City, and they are willing to return to King Chuang, open the city gate, raise their weapons and surrender, and welcome the Li family army into the city." ”

"Oh, in that case, why is it only you, such a little person?" Li Zicheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already stopped, staring straight at Du Xun.

"Don't misunderstand King Chuang, the minion has no intention of deceiving, and he doesn't have the guts!"

Du Xun's body trembled, and the whole person was already kneeling on the ground, his heart was pounding with fear, and he hurriedly explained: "King Qi, it's not that the other generals don't want to go out of the city to greet him, but the minions are worried about accidents, so let them stay in the city in case of accidents." ”

At this time, the entire Li Jiajun had already pressed up and stopped three or four meters behind Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng did not let Du Xun stand up, but asked curiously: "Oh... Accidentally? How do you say that? ”

"That's the case, King Chuang, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, doesn't know what to do, and wants to confront you, so the minions have a mind and let those generals stay in the city, so as to restrain Zhu Zhifeng, so that King Chuang can enter the city smoothly, so as not to have accidents on the way."

"Oh, I see~!" Li Zicheng nodded slightly, which can be regarded as an approval of this explanation, and then beckoned lightly, and said in a harmonious voice: "You get up, lead the way in front of the head, and take us into the city." ”

"Yes, yes, King Chuang, the slave will lead the way!"

After Du Xun replied resignedly, he stood up numbly, regardless of the fact that the dress on his body was already muddy and covered with mud, and walked in the front with his remaining entourage, feeling uneasy in his heart, as if there were several buckets, seven up and eight down.

Soon after, the walls of Xuanfu City were full of officers and soldiers, and the governor Zhu Zhifeng hurriedly came to the city, and when he saw the approaching Li Jiajun, he was anxious at the same time, and scolded angrily: "Raise troops for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, what's the matter with you?" Why don't you open artillery to stop the rebels? ”

However, not only did no one move the surrounding generals, but even Zhu Zhifeng's left and right soldiers did not respond, and the surroundings were quiet, just letting the Li family army keep approaching.

Zhu Zhifeng was desperate, and the secret path was over, but he was still unwilling, and more of it was the last madness, pointing to the high-grade weapon cannon on the city gate, and then shouting to his attendants: "Shoot for me!" ”

It was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was still no response, and the surroundings were still quiet.

It didn't seem that he had much hope, he didn't think that anyone would obey the order, after Zhu Zhifeng finished the order, seeing that no one moved, he was no longer angry, strode forward, grabbed the torch of a soldier, came to the front of the Hongyi cannon, and lit the fuse without hesitation.

No one stopped him, so he let Zhu Zhifeng do it.

A few breaths passed, and with the fuse burning, under the gaze of Zhu Zhifeng's red eyes, the cannon did not fire, but only emitted a puff of black smoke, completely crushing Zhu Zhifeng's last trace of faith, extinguishing the last madness, full of despair.

"Why?!"

As Zhu Zhifeng shouted this, he seemed to be moved by Zhu Zhifeng's series of actions, someone came to the front, stood behind him, gently stabbed Zhu Zhifeng's arm, and persuaded: "My lord, don't work in vain, although these cannons are advanced, they are just an ornament, they have not been used for a long time, and the muzzle of the cannon has long been blocked, you should surrender to the Li family army with us." ”

Another voice came, echoing in Zhu Zhifeng's ears.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, this is true. However, Lord Zhu, the imperial court did not raise brothers. ”

"Hahaha... I can't imagine that people's hearts are so far! Zhu Zhifeng laughed loudly, sighed, the despair in his voice was fully revealed, turned around and went down the city wall without any nostalgia, and disappeared into the flow of people.

I saw, I don't know when, all the people in the city came out, the colorful flags fluttered, in a festive atmosphere, they stood on both sides of the street, the road welcomed, the city gate was even more open, the generals of the defenders all went down the city wall, came to the city gate, without any weapons on their bodies, to welcome the Li Jiajun into the city.

Not long after, Li Zicheng's figure appeared in the study of the governor's yamen, holding a letter to Chongzhen in his hand, quietly looking at the contents on it, Gu Junen whispered from the side: "Boss, Zhu Zhifeng hanged himself, and his body was thrown in the stinky ditch. ”

"yes, got it."

Li Zicheng said lightly, his words were flat, as if he had thought of something, and while handing the fold in his hand to Gu Junen, he added: "Although Zhu Zhifeng wants to fight us to the death, he can be regarded as a good man and a good official, clean up his body well, park it, and wait until he captures the Jingshi, hand it over to his family, and bury it well." ”

"Yes, Boss!" Gu Junen nodded approvingly, and after taking the excerpt, when he saw the content on it, he couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that such a loyal minister, even if this excerpt is not intercepted by us halfway and sent to Chongzhen's hands, at most it will be emotional, and it will not have much effect. ”
