Section 41 bombarded the lord's mansion, and the suspicion of internal traitors arose

Zheng Kezang and Shi Lang are both smart people, and some words don't have to be too clear, since Shi Lang has already expressed his intentions in and out of his words, Zheng Kezang will no longer say much about solicitation, and instead began to talk with Shi Lang about the situation of naval warfare in the future, as well as the construction of the navy. Shi Lang is a great expert in naval warfare, whether it is the situation of naval warfare in the future or the construction of the navy, it is the topic that Shi Lang is most interested in, which can also arouse his conversation, and talk about his ideas and ideas about it. As for Zheng Kezang, although he is not very proficient in this way, but in the 21st century, he occasionally has some advanced concepts and experiences, which still makes Shi Lang's eyes shine, and the two talk about it even more deed.

......Suddenly, a quick knock on the door sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two, Zheng Kezang frowned slightly, and with his "Come in," Wei Xiaobao broke in, followed by Shuang'er, Zeng Rou and Mu Jianping, as well as the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the two of them were indeed missing Fengji and Guan Anji. Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said: "Brother Zheng, it's not good, the little emperor knows the news of your arrival in Beijing, knows that Shi Lang was not beheaded, but was secretly saved by me, and knows that you are here with me right now." Right now, the outside of the alley is full of officers and soldiers, and there are more than a dozen red-clothed cannons, aimed at my lord's mansion. When they heard this, they were astonished, and they all changed color.

Fan Gang glared at him, and said sharply: "Lord Wang, let's rush out and fight a bloody way." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said, "No!" There are a lot of officers and soldiers outside, and the red-clothed cannon is very powerful, and it will definitely not work to break through. However, I brought dozens of officers and soldiers, and the big guys stripped them of their clothes and then tried to get out of the way. When everyone heard this, they all called it a clever plan. Zheng Kezang personally took action, and together with Aokitang's good hands, he subdued all these officers and soldiers in an instant. Everyone stripped off the clothes of the officers and soldiers and put them on their bodies, even the three daughters. Wei Xiaobao took out more than a dozen good horses from the stable and distributed them to everyone.

Zheng Kezang looked around at everyone, frowned and asked, "What about Master Guan in the middle of the wind?" Li Lishi hurriedly said: "Just now, the two of them went separately to inquire about the news, and they haven't come back yet." Zheng Kezang's heart moved, but his face did not show the slightest abnormality, and he quickly ordered: "It's too late, Brother Li, you go and leave them a secret message and ask them to meet at a secret stronghold thirty miles outside the city." "Yes." Li Lishi took the order and left. After Li Lishi left a good secret message, after turning around, everyone turned over and got on the horse, hugged Wei Xiaobao, and left the lord's mansion with a swagger. With Wei Xiaobao, the big celebrity in front of Kangxi, the Qing soldiers naturally didn't dare to block it too much, and everyone came to the alley without danger, so they breathed a long sigh of relief. But seeing the Qing soldiers coming and going to patrol and being heavily guarded, they didn't see where the red-clothed cannon in Wei Xiaobao's mouth was placed for a while.

Everyone was silent, hurrying with their heads bored, and when they were about to reach the city gate, they suddenly heard the sound of "boom, boom, boom......" cannons, followed by Wei Xiaobao's lord's mansion filled with black smoke, looking from afar, but seeing beams, wood, bricks and tiles flying in the air, the ground under his feet was even more lightly shaken. The sound of cannons was endless, and the lord's mansion was full of flames, as high as more than ten zhang. Everyone was already some distance away from the lord's mansion, and they still felt a burst of hot air rushing to their faces, and they couldn't help but look at each other in shock, they really couldn't imagine that the power of this red-clothed cannon was so powerful, if Wei Xiaobao didn't rush back in time, everyone left a moment late, where would there be lives? Zheng Kezang was also scared in his heart, but he didn't expect that the treatment that Kangxi originally gave to Chen Jinnan and others would now fall on his head.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said: "Brother Zheng, we have to get out of the city quickly." The little emperor must have heard this cannon sound, if he sent someone to ask me to interrogate, it would be exposed, and I would have sneaked out of the palace. At that time, there will be a heavy army at the gates, and it will be even more difficult to get out. Zheng Kezang nodded and said, "Yes, let's go quickly." Everyone didn't dare to delay, and even quickened their pace.

The group came to the Chaoyang Gate of the East City, the city gate at this hour was naturally closed, Wei Xiaobao shouted loudly: "According to the emperor's secret order, go out of the city to chase the thief, and open the city gate quickly." "The officers and soldiers guarding the gate, when they saw that everyone was dressed as a cavalry battalion, how could they disobey? What's more, they also heard the rumbling of cannons, and they thought that something serious was indeed happening in the city, so they immediately hurriedly opened the city gates.

And they came out of the city, and galloped away toward the east. After running for more than 30 miles in a row, he came to a manor in a town, which was a secret stronghold outside the castle of Aokido, and seeing that the Qing soldiers did not chase him, he was a little relieved. Zheng Kezang said in a deep voice: "This place is too close to the capital to stay for a long time, let's rest here for a while, and when the wind and Master Guan see the code and come to meet, we will leave." Everyone nodded in agreement, and seized the time to recuperate.

Zheng Kezang called Wei Xiaobao to his side again and asked what happened. From Wei Xiaobao's narration, Zheng Kezang learned that not long after Wei Xiaobao returned to Beijing from the Rakshasa Kingdom, he was revealed by Kangxi to the identity of the owner of the Aoki Hall of Heaven and Earth Society, forcing him to make a choice, and even designed to deliberately let him rescue Shi Lang, and then waited until Zheng Kezang took the bait, and then bombarded the Jue's Mansion, intending to eliminate Zheng Kezang in one fell swoop. This is also faintly in line with the words of the wind, and from a series of events tonight, it is even more correct in this Aoki Hall, in addition to the wind in the world, there are other traitors in the Qing court. Because, the news of Zheng Kezang's arrival tonight, according to Zheng Kezang's orders, was not disclosed to the Qing court.

The crowd had rested in the manor for less than two hours before they were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves. The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and louder, and the ground was shaken lightly, and it was obvious that there were not a few people coming. When Zheng Kezang came to the courtyard, Wei Xiaobao was asking loudly, "What's the situation?" What's going on? Guarding outside the manor, Gao Yanchao, who had just arrived, replied urgently: "Lord, the big thing is not good, the Qing army is coming, and the entire town is surrounded, with nearly 10,000 horses." ”

Wei Xiaobaoqi said: "No, this place is extremely secretive, how could the little emperor send troops to find it so quickly?" Li Lishi said in a deep voice: "It must be that there is a traitor among us, so that this place will be exposed so quickly." Qi Biaoqing said in disbelief: "No, they are all old brothers for many years, how can anyone be willing to be a traitor of the Tartars?" Besides, from the beginning to the end, no one had a chance to report to the Tartars. Li Lishi pointed out: "Are they all there?" I'm afraid not, right? Everyone suddenly realized that Fengji and Guan Anji were not present "by chance" when they bombarded the Lord's Mansion, and it was inevitable that they were a little suspicious.

"The surname is Li, there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense......" Jia Laoliu was furious, seeing that Li Lishi was directing the spearhead to his brother-in-law, how could he bear it? Li Lishi said disdainfully: "Do it or not, the big guy knows it, but I didn't say it alone." "You ......" Jia Lao Liu was even more angry, took two steps forward, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and couldn't wait to have a fight with Li Lishi. All right. Zheng Kezang shouted in a deep voice: "When is it, you are still messing around here." Regardless of whether there is a mole among us or not, there will always be a chance to find out in the future. At present, our first priority is to find a way to get out of here first and get rid of the Qing court's pursuers. The crowd was silent and did not dare to say more, but the seeds of doubt had been sown.

Qian Laoben hesitated: "There is a secret passage in the backyard that leads directly to a mass grave three miles outside the town, but it is just ...... It's just that Brother Li and Guan Fuzi also know about this secret passage...... "When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while. Hearing the voices of the boiling people outside the manor getting closer and closer, Zheng Kezang said categorically: "No matter, let's leave this place first." As he spoke, he let Qian Lao lead the way, and everyone got into the secret passage.

Through the winding and rugged tunnels, Zheng Kezang and his party came to a barren mass grave, gloomy, with no half of the figures, only countless crows chirping from time to time. The nervous and guarded expressions of the crowd eased slightly, but they still cautiously searched outside the mass grave. "Whoosh......" The sound of arrows suddenly sounded, and the arrows covering the ground slashed at everyone. There is an ambush, everyone be careful! Xuanzhen Daoist reminded loudly. Everyone hurriedly protected Zheng Kezang and Wei Xiaobao, who had very poor martial arts, in the middle, drew out their blades, and waved them to resist the arrows. Fortunately, Zheng Kezang and his party, except for Wei Xiaobao, are not weak in martial arts, they are impenetrable, and they will not be injured by arrows in a short time. But manpower is exhausted, and after a long time, it will be very bad.

Zheng Kezang raised his eyes and looked around, trying to find out the weak point of the ambush and break through. But the Qing soldiers were obviously well prepared, and in all directions, in the dense forests, among the barren grasses, and the shadows and shadows were longing, it seemed that they were surrounded by heavy troops. Wei Xiaobao shouted in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, you are strong in martial arts, you will definitely be able to rush out, leave us alone." "Yes, Lord Wang, don't care about us anymore, hurry up and break through......" Everyone persuaded each other. Zheng Kezang refused, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense, how can this king be a greedy person who is afraid of death." You all follow this king, let's fight a bloody way...... "In the dense forest and barren grass, it is most likely to be set by the Qing soldiers to lay traps and ambushes, Zheng Kezang is the first choice to eliminate them, and the rest is only one way ahead, Zheng Kezang gritted his teeth and wanted to break through from here.

"Kill, ......" Suddenly, a burst of shouts of killing sounded in the dense forest on the left side, followed by a series of screams of Qing soldiers and the exchange of weapons. In the dense forest, I don't know what happened, but no arrows were fired, which made everyone's pressure slightly less. Zheng Kezang frowned slightly, and for a moment, he couldn't judge whether this was a conspiracy by the Qing soldiers.

"Lord Wang, here, quickly withdraw ......" Zheng Kezang hesitated, rushed out of the dense forest in the wind, and shouted loudly. Li Lishi hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, be careful of deception. Zheng Kezang turned a deaf ear, and said categorically: "The brother who answered has arrived, protect Xiaobao, and break through from the direction of the dense forest with me." "Let's take the lead, brave the rain of arrows, and rush in the direction of the dense forest." Be! "Everyone took the order awe-inspiringly, guarding Wei Xiaobao, and followed closely." The emperor ordered to capture Zheng Kezang and reward 10,000 gold...... Come on...... Kill, ......" The Qing soldiers who were ambushed in the other two directions did not want to let Zheng Kezang and his party go like this, and they came out one after another.

Zheng Kezang and his entourage rushed into the dense forest, but saw that the battle situation in the dense forest was scorching, and the corpses were everywhere, there were Qing soldiers and brothers in Aoki Hall. Fengji quickly came to Zheng Kezang's approach, and said quickly: "Lord Wang, my subordinates and Guan Fuzi went out to check the situation before, but they found that the Qing soldiers surrounded Lord Wei Xiang's Lord's Mansion, and then I wanted to return to warn, but I couldn't. We didn't know that the Qing court would be so ruthless that it would bombard the Jueye's mansion, otherwise no matter what, they would risk death as a warning. Fortunately, the prince was blessed and escaped in advance. Later, we saw that the Tartars frequently mobilized their troops and horses, not only surround our stronghold in the town thirty miles east of the city, but also lay an ambush under the mass grave at the exit of the secret passage of the stronghold, so we led the brothers in the hall to come to support. Zheng Kezang praised: "Very good! You guys are doing a great job! Thanks to your vigilance, today would have been dangerous. When he leaves here, the king will be rewarded. ”

The center of the wind was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face, and said: "Lord Wang, this dense forest covers an extremely wide area and extends in all directions, and the Tartars will not be able to find us for a while." The subordinates have been here before, and they are still familiar with the dense forest, so they have arranged a retreat with Guan and his son, let's go from this side. Zheng Kezang nodded and said, "Okay, you come and lead the way, we have to get out of here as soon as possible." "Yes!" In the wind, lead the way, and lead everyone to the depths of the dense forest. "Withdraw! Set fire to the forest and burn the forest ......" Seeing that Zheng Kezang and his party had gone away, Guan An gave an order and led the rest of the people in Aoki Hall to evacuate, and used the ignition equipment that had been prepared to set the dense forest on fire. In the dense forest, the fire was rising to the sky in an instant, the smoke was billowing out, and the Qing soldiers rushed into the dense forest, which was also inconvenient, and the whereabouts of Zheng Kezang and his party could not be found.

Zheng Kezang and his entourage, following the route arranged by him and Guan Anji, walked through the forest and over the mountains for several hours, but still did not get out of the dense forest, but finally threw off the pursuing Qing soldiers temporarily. Led by the wind, everyone came to a hidden valley, where they planned to rest and wait for Guan Anji to come and meet.

In the valley, everyone looked at each other, but they did not speak. From the time Kangxi bombarded the Lord's Mansion last night, to the secret stronghold being surrounded and suppressed by the Qing soldiers, and finally even the secret exit of the secret passage was ambushed by the Qing soldiers. All of this reveals weirdness, and all of them faintly reveal that there must be traitors among the crowd. But who is the traitor who fell to the ground? If it was in the middle of the wind, or Guan Anji, why did the two come to the rescue? But if it weren't for them, who would this traitor be? How did he report to the Qing court? All kinds of questions eroded everyone's hearts, making everyone silent, not knowing what to say, and the atmosphere in the valley became more and more strange.

It wasn't until he came in a hurry, and he didn't have time to freshen up, and Guan Anji, who still had blood stains on his body and face, as well as traces of smoke and fire, reached a peak in this weird atmosphere. Everyone looked at Guan Anji with complicated expressions, both grateful and suspicious......
