It was destined to be a sleepless night.

Another hour passed.

Finally came the darkest time before dawn.

It's time to move.

All the guards who went out to inquire have returned,

By land, by water, there is news coming from each other.

The news is all the same.

Someone's coming!

Lots of people!

They came from the east and by water.

Undoubtedly, it is all Zhu Changjue's people.

The purpose is obvious, and it is still necessary to enclose the courtyard.

They have an absolute numerical advantage, so there is no need to hide it.

Cheng Ziyu stood on the high boat of the Wang family, with clairvoyance in her palm, but she could see clearly.

In the mist, although the long row was dim, it was impossible to ignore the light that was slowly revealed. I can't see it clearly, but it's clear, but there are more and more of those dots of light......

In the eastern land direction, there are also many bright spots approaching. It is only more than ten miles away from the annex at most.

Cheng Ziyu immediately asked He Yong to take his people back, locked the door of his He family, and extinguished all the lights. She didn't want to affect the He family.

She gave another order, telling all the guards outside the gate of the courtyard to prepare for the final sneak attack and trap, waiting to strike a blow. Her requirements are: it is important to save your life, and all sneak attacks should be carried out under the premise of ensuring the safety of your life. If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you will retreat!

She didn't want anyone to fight hard. She just wanted to delay as much as possible and buy as much time as possible for the Queen Mother and Zhu Changzhe. She's also there to wait. Zhu Changjue is here, her rescuers should be fast, right? ……

The fleet on Taihu Lake is gradually approaching and slowly becoming clear.

Densely packed, there are hundreds of large, medium and small ships.

The pursuers on the periphery of the annex also stopped a hundred feet away from the annex and blocked all the way out.

The chief of the guard came to report, and there were about 30,000 people.

Hehe, there is a huge disparity between friend and foe, and a head-on collision must be an egg hitting a stone.

The chief of the guard was sent by Cheng Ziyu to the periphery of the front yard to command and intercept, but Zhu Changjue's people did not take a step forward from a hundred zhang away.

The boats on the lake are the same, but they are fanned off dozens of feet away.

"Cheng Ziyu!" After a long absence, Zhu Changjue, whose voice was a little hoarse, really arrived.

I couldn't see my face, but at this moment, he put on the dragon robe again for the sake of his momentum.

He probably had some kind of amplification, and the voice was clear.

"You're besieged by me. At this moment, even if you have wings, it will be difficult to fly. I advise you to know each other, stop fighting any trapped beasts, and if you can surrender immediately, then I will protect you and Li Chun, and everyone in your other courtyard. If you can explain to me the exact whereabouts of Zhu Changzhe, I will promise in front of everyone present that when I catch Zhu Changzhe, even if you atone for your crimes, you and Li Chungui will be protected in the future! Even I can also crown Li Chun as a general, and even a nobleman, and enjoy wealth and glory forever! In short, it will definitely not be worse than this moment!

I will give you a quarter of an hour, if you challenge my patience, then not only you, but also these people who protect you, and even these people who have helped you in Jingxi, I will not be merciful, and I will not leave a piece of armor behind! I know you can hear me, and think about it! ”

Cheng Ziyu kept angrily scolding this shameless guy in her heart. Knowing what she cares about, she really takes what she cares about. She has no family, and he will also be angry and implicated in others. And if she is caught, she is destined to put Li Chun in a dilemma.

"Zhu Changjue, a quarter of an hour is not enough. The stakes are so high that I have at least a day to think about it. Cheng Ziyu thought about it and still opened her mouth.

"How dare you think about it! One day? I am the true Son of God, do you think you are worth waiting for you for a day? Do you have the right to bargain with me? I know what you're going to do, and I want to delay, don't I? You want to wait for Kang Anbo and Li Chun's rescue, right? Tell you, it doesn't work!

Li Chun went to the capital to help Bai Heng ask for help. Didn't go down to Jiangnan so quickly. As for Kang Amber, you don't have to wait. Do you really think that Kang Anbo's strength can be so strong that he can drive my forces out of Elephant Mountain in a short time?

I have occupied Elephant Mountain for so long, how could I not be prepared? Let me tell you that Kang Amber and his men have been trapped on an island in Elephant Mountain. Without ten days and half a month, he can't get out!

So Cheng Ziyu, you don't need to delay at all! It's useless to procrastinate! Or rather, you have no choice. When my temperament is exhausted, you will all die! ”

"......" Li Chun doesn't want to go there first, but Kang Anbo, besieged?

"Mastermother, you say, is Zhu Changjue lying?" A, two, and three spoke in unison.

"Eighty percent true." Cheng Ziyu actually believed it.

Although Zhu Changjue's strength is not very strong, he is cunning by nature. Indeed, as he himself said, his mind would not be easily driven out of the land route by Kang Amber in less than two days. This is indeed a doubt.

If Kang Anbo is really pressing Zhu Changjue step by step, there is no reason for Zhu Changjue to come to Jiangnan and Taihu Lake with such a huge momentum.

Also, she only arrived in Jingxi the day before yesterday, and Zhu Changan had only arrived for more than an hour, but Zhu Changjue had already arrived. It's too fast. It can be seen that he is not cornered. It can even be said that it is unimpeded.

And if Zhu Changjue hadn't been sure that Kang Anbo would not have had time to answer, let alone give her a quarter of an hour to consider, it would have been impossible for him to show up.

"But why should I believe you? What if you go back on your word? ”

"I am the true son of heaven, and what I say in front of so many people is a golden mouth, and I am a man of my word!"

"Huh." I really have the face to say it. "But you are a person who betrayed your father, deceived the people of the world, did everything for the throne, racked your brains in order to hunt down and kill your brother, and did not hesitate to collude with pirates, why don't I believe it?"

"Cheng Ziyu, I will say it again. At this moment, you are not qualified to bargain! But I can promise you that as long as you tell Zhu Changzhe's movements, I will withdraw half of the troops surrounding you to show my sincerity, how about it? ”

Cheng Ziyu understood. Sure enough, sure enough, Zhu Changjue really regarded Zhu Changzhe as a sharp weapon to control the emperor, so he had to find him.

His mind is clear, and he knows that the best and simplest weapon for him to struggle at the moment is Zhu Changzhe. It is precisely because of this that even if he surrounded himself and the disparity between strength and weakness, he did not launch an attack at the first time, but chose to negotiate conditions.

Cheng Ziyu was still delaying, and within the line of sight of the clairvoyant, she still couldn't see any signs of the arrival of help.

"That's not as good as this, as long as you send me Zhu Changan's head, I'll tell you what Zhu Changzhe's movements are?"

Zhu Changan, who was closely following Zhu Changjue over there, never expected that the key to the matter would suddenly turn to him, and he suddenly jumped like thunder.

"Cheng Ziyu, you despicable slut!" Zhu Changan didn't know where Cheng Ziyu was, so he could only point his fingers and draw a circle in the direction of the fan-shaped boat.

"Really?"

Zhu Changan still didn't expect that Zhu Changjue's mouth would not hesitate to pop out these two words, obviously with the intention of giving up on him.

"Seriously! You helped me kill him to surrender to sincerity, isn't it more sincere? ……”

Cheng Ziyu didn't expect that before she finished her words, she clearly saw Zhu Changan kneeling down for Zhu Changjue through clairvoyance. Sure enough, the lost dog, which has almost no use value, is not at the mercy of others?

Although Cheng Ziyu couldn't hear clearly, he could roughly tell what he was talking about based on Zhu Chang'an's mouth shape.

It is nothing more than a statement of willingness to be reduced to a dog with all one's heart.

She was in a trance for a moment.

In his previous life, he was still in high spirits at the moment before he died. But in this life, he has fallen again and again, and in the end he has fallen to such a point. Seeing him die like this has no bottom line, but it's ...... Relieve hatred!

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help laughing.

Dog eats dog, it's also quite interesting!

"Cheng Ziyu, you have shown me a good look!" Zhu Changjue yelled at this side.

Zhu Changan kowtowed, and grabbed the hem of Zhu Changjue's clothes from time to time and begged.

"Brother Huang, you have been wronged." Zhu Changjue looked distressed. "But you shouldn't have betrayed your family and country and colluded with the Northern Barbarians! You are so shameless and scoundrel, how many border soldiers and people have you harmed, how can you be worthy of our ancestors of the Great Zhou? For the sake of my great Zhou's face, I, as the eldest brother, naturally have to be responsible, and naturally I have to give an explanation to the world. If I clean the portal, don't blame me! ”

After saying that, Zhu Changjue stretched out his hand to Zhu Changan.

Zhu Changan shook his head with an uncertain expression, and stretched out his hand following Zhu Changjue's movements.

In the flash of light, he only felt a flower in front of him.

A flash of light flashed, and it was a cold glow from the steel knife.

It was Zhu Changjue who did it himself.

He pulled out the long knife of his cronies, and then slashed it out.

Knife up.

Arm drop.

Blood flowed down the blade.

What was left was Zhu Changan, who was rolling in place with his arms in his arms.

He still didn't expect it.

He begged for it.

But Zhu Changjue didn't even miss the old love at all.

You don't have to play so thoroughly when crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, right?

He wasn't without struggles.

Instead, his body and shoulders were controlled by several masters before Zhu Changjue drew his sword.

Man-made swordsman.

Is he so miserable?

Has his life become part of the quid pro quo of others?

When did he end up in such a field?

"Cheng Ziyu, I will first send you a piece of Zhu Changan's forearm as a meeting gift. After you tell me the true movements of Zhu Changzhe, I will send Zhu Changan's head to you! ”

After saying that, the severed little arm was really carried and sent by someone through a shuttle boat.

The bloody arm was thrown onto the outermost edge of the fan-shaped bamboo raft.

And Zhu Chang'an's roaring screams over there are even more vivid.

"Cheng Ziyu, you can't die well! If you die, you will definitely be waiting for you on Huangquan Road! If you have the ability, let's come back to another life and see the next life...... Next! Zhu Changan screamed again and again.

"Poof......" Cheng Ziyu was speechless at Zhu Changjue's refreshing shot, but also felt ridiculous about Zhu Changan's covenant in the next life, and even more amused at Zhu Changan's dog jumping off the wall at this moment.

"Zhu Changan, you die well. If you want to wait for me on Huangquan Road, it's best to do it. Because on the day I die, I will take Li Chun to find you together, and then he and I will still abuse you thousands of times to vent our hatred! It's going to make you feel so bad that you can't even be a ghost! She couldn't help but respond.

And when she opened her mouth, Zhu Changjue blocked Zhu Changan's screaming mouth for the first time, which made him even more aggrieved.

Zhu Changjue waved his hand, and Zhu Changan was dragged down.

As if to let Cheng Ziyu see his determination, Zhu Changan's arm was tied to the mast after simply stopping the bleeding.

At this time, Zhu Changan was even more panicked.

Wouldn't he be a living target?

If the other party is not happy and shoots an arrow at will, will he be shot through the hole?

He struggled and burst into tears.

Cheng Ziyu knew his concerns through clairvoyance, and couldn't help but sneer at him. She naturally knew what he was afraid of, but had he forgotten that he was not in their range at the moment! As long as Zhu Changjue doesn't do it, he will definitely not worry about his life.

And Zhu Changjue is ambitious, in this kind of time to fight the world, if he is not forced to do so, he will definitely not slash his brother in public, lag behind the future generations, and also mess up the morale of the army......

These are obviously not what Zhu Changan, who is in turmoil at the moment, can figure out.

Over there, Zhu Changjue heard Cheng Ziyu's response, but he was overjoyed.

He heard Cheng Ziyu say that he didn't want to die.

So, does it mean that he will agree to his conditions?

"Cheng Ziyu, a quarter of an hour is here, give me a good word!"

"Good! For the sake of your sincerity, I can promise you. But I want to make sure, as long as I tell Zhu Changzhe's movements, you will withdraw half of your troops first! ”

"It's a deal!"

The two of them had their own thoughts, one for fooling and the other for procrastination, so it was decided.

"Zhu Changzhe is going west!"

"Too general! Make it clear to me! Where to go west? When did you go? Why go? "Shouldn't you go north back to Beijing? Zhu Changjue didn't think about it after receiving an urgent report that he had intercepted the carrier pigeon that implied that King Zhe was in the west.

He was afraid that it was the other party's trick, but he was unwilling to let him go, and he couldn't afford to gamble. His troops are already small, where can he withstand being dispersed again? So he had to confirm, reconfirm.

Moreover, the word "Lishui" is too general, and his people are simply blind there.

"Zhu Changjue, why can't you think of this? Southwest, where was the old days? ”

"You mean...... Did he go to Li Chun's majority? Will Li Chun's soldiers escort him into Beijing? ”

"Almost! You don't know yet, do you? The war in the southwest is over, and Li Chun has won! Cheng Ziyu is serious nonsense.

"But Li Chunren has gone north, and his subordinates are leaderless at the moment, Zhu Changzhe went over, and he just took over in a grand manner...... "She deliberately struck a meal." After that, I don't know. I don't know if King Zhe will go to Beijing directly with his soldiers? I will still bring troops to fight you! ”

She told a very reasonable lie, a lie that was enough to make Zhu Changjue panic!

Zhu Changjue did not respond immediately.

He was somewhat convinced.

To be precise, the more you think about it, the more you believe.

The capital is controlled by the crown prince, even if the emperor likes Zhu Changzhe again, will he let him take risks? Not necessarily, right? Or, let him directly take over Li Chun's subordinates or it would be the wisest decision.

If Zhu Changzhe has military power, and Kang Anbo's forces are combined, almost the entire southern army will be in their hands. That yourself...... And play with a ball! There is still Korea in the northeast, and the Emperor of Gyeongri is not dead...... In this world, I'm afraid it's still Zhu Changzhe's!

This is indeed like the emperor's trick.

Cheng Ziyu...... In the end, it is an outsider, and the secret is unknown, and it is more reasonable. If she knew everything, she would be weird.

Zhu Changjue can't afford to gamble......

Cheng Ziyu stared at him through clairvoyance without blinking.

He saw a shuttle boat retreating from behind his great ship.

In the distance, there were a few bright lights, which were slowly receding, and the commander of the guard also came to report that there were only less than half of the tens of thousands of people on the periphery at this moment......
