Rong An hurried to Xizhimen.

accompanied by her, as well as Tao Lao and Zhao Lao.

The officers and soldiers of Xizhimen informed that they had been observing the paper kite since they found it, and did not find any clues.

Rong An nodded.

If they can find clues, won't Zhu Yonghao's people be able to find them too? So that's what she expected.

She already knew that Cao Ge Lao had gone to Dongzhimen. At this moment, there is Cao Ge Lao to attract Zhu Yonghao's attention, which is a good opportunity for her.

Because she was afraid of startling the snake, she changed her clothes when she was in the carriage.

She simply combed her hair into a bun and tied it, and found someone to bring a soft armor that was one of the costumes of the city gate soldiers and wore it. In this way, when she went to the city gate, she looked like a small soldier from a distance, and she would not attract attention at all.

On the city wall, taking clairvoyance, she looked out.

Outside the city, it was densely packed with people. Almost most of them are refugees dressed up, crying, sick, hungry, scolding, begging, noisy and chaotic.

Zhu Yonghao's people arranged for his people to mix in the real refugees, causing many of them to wander under the city gate from time to time. Because you can't tell the real from the fake.

After dozens of breaths, Rong An's hand shook, and the clairvoyant almost fell to the ground.

Only about 20 zhang away from the city wall, the refugee uncle with dark skin, unshaven beard, tattered clothes, and supporting an old man is not the same makeup that Zhu Chengyi wore when he first met three years ago?

That figure, that posture, that familiar figure, made Rong An suffocate for a moment, and he couldn't move away after his eyes locked on.

I took a clairvoyant eye and looked at it carefully.

At this moment, his appearance is only nine points like back then. Especially those eyes.

Probably because his peach blossom eyes are too eye-catching, so his temples are obviously tightened at the moment, so when he looks at it, his eyes become narrow and long, and the peach blossom breath is no longer there.

His mental outlook was very different from that time. His whole person exuded a decadent aura, a little more embarrassed, the dark circles under his eyes were several degrees heavier than his complexion, his lips were dry and cracked with a lot of blood, one leg didn't seem to be so good, and the whole person was even thinner, completely malnourished.

But even so, when Rong An saw him for the first time, he was 100% sure that this was him!

Rong An'an is distressed, although he knows that his image is pretending, but at this moment, he can fit so well with what he is pretending to be, without disobedience, how much suffering he has suffered for almost half a year!

At least the thinness that is about to fall out of phase is real.

Rong An couldn't help but breathe heavily, wanting to make the bursts of contraction, both excited and distressed, and his heart that was almost beating out quickly soothed.

Probably sensing the eyes here, Zhu Chengyi raised his eyes and looked here.

Rong An was afraid that he would not be able to find him, so he quickly put down his clairvoyance.

It's only 20 zhang away, and it's enough to see clearly.

Zhu Chengyi, who swept over at a glance, didn't he lock her at once? She often dresses up as a man to go out and have fun, so he is also very familiar with that plain face......

After the corners of his lips twitched slightly, he closed his eyes heavily, then retracted his gaze, continued to bow his head, supported the old man beside him, and dragged his legs forward......

"The prince is beside ......" Since Rong An must be Zhu Chengyi, then Tao Lao and the others do not doubt him. It's just that they don't know the old man who Zhu Chengyi is holding on, looking seventy or eighty, with white hair and white beard, and an old man.

Rong An raised his clairvoyance again and took a good look at the old man again.

"I know." She frowned slightly. "That's Uncle Bai who lives in Ci'an Hall in the southern suburbs of the capital. His whole family is gone, and he is the only lonely old man, so he has been living in Shantang. ”

Rong An has done good deeds herself over the years, and the Chengnan Charity Hall is the largest one in the entire capital, and it is also the one she has visited the most.

Shantang will only accommodate the old and weak for a long time, so Rong An, who lives there for a long time, is very familiar with it.

And this Uncle Bai, as the oldest in the entire Shantang, Rong An is particularly concerned. On last year's Old Man's Day, Uncle Bai's pastries were given by Rong An himself, and she naturally recognized them.

So......

So the first thing that can be explained by this scene in front of him is: Zhu Chengyi has been to the Shantang in the southern suburbs. So where does he live?

He deliberately brought Old Man Bai here just to tell himself this?

Southside Shrine?

What does it mean?

South?

At this moment, Zhu Chengyi is helping Uncle Bai, is he walking in the direction of the south?

The crowd didn't know how he would deliver the news, so they could only follow him slowly along the city wall all the way to the south.

Probably in order not to arouse the idea of fake refugees, the two of them walked not fast, and from time to time they sat down to rest for a while.

During this period, because the two of them walked slowly, they also called a particularly rampant one, who was obviously bullied by Zhu Yonghao's guys. The man hated them for blocking the way, and while scolding "old immortal", he kicked at Uncle Bai.

Uncle Bai is old, where can he withstand that kick.

Zhu Chengyi, who had been holding him, leaned over to block it, and took a solid kick.

The rebel didn't kick the target, and he was immediately annoyed.

"Dead cripple!" The man kicked Zhu Chengyi several times hard.

Zhu Chengyi didn't fight back, he just shrunk into a ball and begged, until the corners of his mouth seemed to be overflowing with blood, and the other party walked away.

And such a scene did not attract any attention, and outside the city walls at this moment, this kind of thing has long been strange.

Zhu Chengyi, who was beaten, hurriedly helped Uncle Bai away from him, and slightly quickened his pace and went south......

Rong An followed the two slowly.

Sure enough, the two of them went to the south gate.

Eventually, the two sat down near the South Gate and never moved again.

Zhu Chengyi faced the city gate, and after finding Rong'an on the city wall, he cast his eyes on the south city gate and stared at it fiercely. Then look at her, and then at the gates. This was repeated several times......

Rong An didn't know, and Tao Lao didn't understand either.

What exactly is he trying to say?

South City Gate?

And then what?

What happened to the South City Gate? Or is he going to enter the city through the South Gate? Need their cooperation?

Zhu Yonghao's men were concentrated in the east and north, especially in the north, and in order to block Zhu Yongxing, who was or would be escorted back from Yan'an by Yu Bohong, at least 30,000 people were arranged there. The second is the East Gate, which is where Zhu Yonghao is located, where there are more than 20,000 people.

The three gates on the west side are close to Yan'an, and again, there are about 20,000 people in total.

Near the South City Gate, because there are many good halls and close to the disaster area, there are many refugees, which is difficult to manage and chaotic. At the same time, it is the farthest place from the imperial city, and if you take the palace directly, it will not only be separated from the outer city, but also pass through the entire capital, so for Zhu Yonghao, strategically, the south city gate is the most chicken rib.

Therefore, he has the least number of troops in this area.

The sum of the three doors is only about 10,000 to 15,000 people at best.

In terms of numbers, the South City Gate is indeed the easiest place to break through!

But even so, there are three or four thousand people in each door, right?

Zhu Chengyi wants to just come in?

No way?

At this moment, he clearly doesn't even have a horse, how can he enter the city?

Even if the city gate is wide open, the speed at which he runs into the city gate cannot be faster than the speed at which Zhu Yonghao's people come up to besiege and kill, right? One person can beat him to the ground.

Is it too dangerous to enter the city like this?

However, after Zhu Chengyi made a few eye switches, he suddenly turned his back again.

At this moment, the direction he was facing was slightly southwest.

Then, he took Uncle Bai in his arms and went to the southwest. And as soon as he left, he never looked back.

Southwest?

"Good ...... Zendo! Rong An understood.

From here, about ten miles to the southwest, is where the good hall is located.

"Can you see Anzendo Hall here?" Rong An asked the officers and soldiers.

"From the lookout."

Rong An was taken to the lookout and looked at the good hall.

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, they waited for what they wanted.

There has been a change in the location of the Zendo.

The church has been expanded again and again, so there is a large courtyard for refugees to bask in the sun.

I saw that the people in the courtyard who were originally scattered suddenly moved.

Rong'an, they stood tall and could see clearly.

Those people, standing in rows, are clearly transmitting information.

After having such an idea, everyone suddenly became enlightened.

In the Shantang Courtyard, there are two words composed of people: Zimo.

This is the message that Zhu Chengyi wants to convey!

Yes!

Shantang is Zhu Yonghao has no time and energy to get involved, but Shantang has always been grateful to Rong'an and benefited from the court. Most of the people in the good hall are grateful to her and the court.

And everyone in the good hall points to relying on the court not to fall, and everything does not change, that is the foundation of the existence of the good hall. And the city gate was closed, and the first one to lose the organization, and soon to starve and lack medicine was the people in the good hall. From this point, they all hate Zhu Yonghao the most.

Based on these two diametrically opposed reasons, it is natural that the people in the good hall can be organized by Zhu Chengyi......

After the refugees had formed two words, they took about a dozen breaths and then dispersed again, as if nothing had happened.

Another quarter of an hour later, everyone teamed up again, still two words: Zimo.

This was repeated several times, and it was exactly the same.

It can basically be determined that the "sub-end" is the information to be transmitted.

There is no end of the child today, so the next end of the child is naturally the next one, that is, a few hours later.

Zimo Ganan City Gate, what else do you not understand?

If nothing else, it will be the end of the time, he will enter the city through the south gate, and ask Jingzhong to cooperate.

It's a smart delivery, because the imperial court occupies a high point, and the south city gate is a place where the other party is lax, so Zhu Yonghao can't intercept such a big news.

Although I don't know how many people Zhu Chengyi brought with him, he definitely needs to cooperate!

Since there is time to prepare, the thousands of rebels at the South City Gate are no problem!

Either way, it's good news.

Zhu Chengyi is back, maybe the Gyeongnam army will not be far away from returning to Beijing.

All are overjoyed,

So at this moment, in addition to preparing troops, they also have one more thing to do, that is, to hurry up and make every effort to divert Zhu Yonghao's attention to the south gate.

Therefore, Cao Gelao's trip there was their foresight.

As soon as the two old men combined, they immediately called someone and told them to go to Dongzhimen to report to Cao Ge Lao ......

The Empress Dowager's mausoleum follows the first emperor and is located in the imperial mausoleum of Tianlu Mountain.

Therefore, the "Queen Mother's funeral" mentioned by Cao Ge Lao to Zhu Yonghao is to go out of the city!

"I hope that it will be convenient for the Second Highness. Let the Queen Mother go to the imperial mausoleum for burial. You can rest assured, at that time, we will only send ceremonial officials and chamberlains to accompany the coffin, and if His Royal Highness has the heart, he can also bring people to participate. Please also ask Your Highness to take the Queen Mother as the ......"

Cao Ge Lao almost wore out the skin of his mouth, and all kinds of explanations showed the necessity of letting the Queen Mother be buried in peace. said that filial piety comes first, and if he even has to stop the funeral of the emperor's grandmother, it will be a big stain on his reputation and future. He also said that this is the opportunity for him to perform, hundreds of officials in the court, and nobles are all paying attention to him, and if he can act magnificently at this moment, it will be the greatest degree of convincing people's hearts.

Cao Lao tried his best to "hint" to Zhu Yonghao, as long as he practiced this filial piety, he would naturally be able to get rid of the words "anti" and "reverse". This is not necessarily not a test for him by the emperor, and at the same time it is a great boost to the smooth transition of the regime.

"Your Highness, how many people are watching! His Royal Highness has the advantage at the moment, and there is no need to be stigmatized as unfilial. "Cao Lao deliberately pressed him too big.

"You nod your head, become famous, and the emperor will be able to take a shortcut as soon as his heart is soft. But you shake your head, that's what Wanfu is referring to, and it's hard to wash it again. "To put it bluntly, it's still a multiple-choice question.

"The old man put his words here, as long as the Queen Mother goes out of the funeral smoothly, at the latest tomorrow, the emperor and the cabinet will definitely give you a letter. You're not a few hours off, are you? ”

In the face of such a multiple-choice question, further may outweigh the losses, and taking a step back may not cost a single soldier to get what he wants, and when the whole is under control, in fact, he will only choose the second option.

"When the imperial grandmother is here, the most painful person is this king. At this moment, the emperor's grandmother is gone, and the king naturally wants to be filial. Tomorrow morning, the king is willing to send the imperial grandmother on her last journey. Zhu Yonghao was relieved.

"His Royal Highness's benevolence and filial piety, the old man must convey it well. The emperor will keep it in mind. ”

Boss Cao was relieved.

Just now, the news from Tao Lao and the two was that he tried his best to delay until tomorrow morning.

Tianlu Mountain is 100 miles north of the capital, so the Queen Mother is funeral, and she must only go to the Desheng Gate or Anding Gate in the north. It is the Queen Mother who is at the funeral, even if the ceremony is simplified, there must still be pomp and circumstance.

At that time, there will be a sea of people going out.

Zhu Yonghao is bound to focus all his attention on the North Gate. He must not be at ease, and he will definitely increase his forces to keep an eye on, and then the south gate will naturally be even more lax.

And Desheng Gate is the closest door to Yan'an, and it is the top priority of Zhu Yonghao's defense, and he will definitely be suspicious. Even if he connected today's paper kite incident, he would only suspect that Deshengmen or Xizhimen were cheating. He had to devote all his attention to those sides and relax the south gates.

"The old man still has a request."

"Cao Lao and bluntly spoke."

"Tomorrow morning, the time of the funeral is set at the ugly hour, before that, outside the Desheng Gate, in order not to spare the mother and purity, can His Royal Highness retreat his troops to five miles away?"

When the time is set to be ugly, Zhu Yonghao will definitely start to deal with the layout around the time of the child. In terms of time, it is even more conducive to the South Gate operation at the end of the sub-time.

"Two miles. No more. ”

"Yes."

Cao Lao was very satisfied and made a gesture.

His mission has been successfully accomplished.

Even if Zhu Yonghao temporarily repented tomorrow morning, unwilling to retreat or unwilling to let the funeral procession leave, their purpose was also achieved.

I only hope that the son of the world will not disappoint anyone!
