The Emperor of the Apocalypse hurriedly arrived at the Daming Gate.

Daming Gate is the tallest tower in the Forbidden City, and when I climbed the tower, I saw a place outside the city that there was still thick smoke.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse pulled down his face and said to the guards on the side: "That's where the explosion just happened?" ”

"Yes." The garrison looked nervous and terrified.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse squinted his eyes and looked at that place seriously, and said, "Where is that?" ”

"It should be a few miles outside of the capital...... Previously...... It's like a warehouse. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Is it artillery?" ”

The garrison shook his head: "The artillery is not so powerful, but it is like ...... Stored gunpowder ......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse finally made up his mind, this was obviously not the work of the army, but more like someone was secretly sabotaging.

It's just that gunpowder is contraband, and who has such energy to steal the gunpowder of the Fabrication Bureau, I'm afraid it needs to be carefully investigated.

Now the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse are all on Zhang Jingyi's side, and he has no heart to worry about it for the time being.

It was the poor Zhang Shun who was lying on the sickbed for a long time, and suddenly someone woke him up and carried him out of the city immediately.

Zhang Shun couldn't do it, he borrowed a shirt, and wanted to borrow a little more money, but the eunuch who came to call him scolded: "Father-in-law Zhang, you have borrowed more than three hundred taels, and we have always respected you on weekdays, and we are willing to borrow you, but I never see you pay it back, and now you borrow it, where is it?" ”

Zhang Shun's face was blushing, the eunuch was also a human being, he also felt ashamed of this deed of borrowing money and not paying it back, so he was naturally embarrassed to open his mouth again, so he hurriedly rode out of the palace with a haggard face.

It's just that when he left the Forbidden City, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look back at the majestic palace city, and he couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart.

What is like outside the city now, the ghost knows, maybe this time, you can't go back.

In the end, I thought that when we reached the point where we were cheap, what else could I say, so I flew away and had no nostalgia.

In the city, the people are already panicking.

Deng Jian had already found a lot of buyers in the tooth shop, and on behalf of the Zhang family, he found some low-cost mansions and fields, and negotiated the final price with others.

The two brothers, Deng Jian and Wang Cheng, acted separately, betting that the third brother would be able to return safely with his students.

There was a lot of commotion in the tooth shop, Deng Jian still wanted to bargain, but these people who wanted to sell were a little hesitant, they knew that Deng Jian was the righteous son of the Zhang family, and he was able to do this business on behalf of the Zhang family, and the deposit was also brought, as long as the contract was signed, he was not afraid that the Zhang family would not be able to pay the final payment.

But the problem is that the sale of the mansion and the land, after all, is the act of a loser, and it is all something that has been handed down from the ancestors.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone felt that the capital was becoming more and more unsafe, this Jiannu people would have been able to drive straight in, God knows...... Will there be any change in the number of days, it is better to sell some things that cannot be taken away, and try to raise silver taels, which can still be taken away.

And Deng Jian's bargaining was too strong, originally a big house in the city, the location was also excellent, the price was 70,000 taels, and this was much lower than the original market price of 100,000 taels, but Deng Jian insisted that 50,000 taels would not be sold.

Many people are hesitating, and they don't know how to deal with it for a while, but the landlords of Jixian County are willing to sell as soon as possible, what happened in Jixian County, no one knows, but there are already well-informed people, who know that the Jiannu people killed a lot of people in Jixian County, God knows if the land can be kept, or can't be saved.

As a result, some people happily decided to sell, and some people were still hesitating.

Deng Jian also found a guarantor, signed a contract, and was about to sign a contract with someone.

But it blew up outside.

With a bang, everyone felt that the earth seemed to tremble, and the teeth suddenly became chaotic.

This explosion is not the same as gossip, which at most causes a deep sense of anxiety in people's hearts, but the explosion gives people direct panic.

So the seller had a white face and hurriedly said: "Sell, sell, brother, Zhang, hurry up, I will sell it, and I will ...... according to your price."

"Wait!" Deng Jian had a straight face, he was also scared in his heart, God knows what the reason for the explosion was, maybe it was really the Jiannu people attacking the city?

"What do you mean?"

"I can't follow the original price, I don't think it's safe, 30,000 taels!"

The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "What, my house of 100,000 taels of silver is sold to you for 50,000 taels, and you want to drop it again?" ”

Deng Jian said: "I feel panicked, otherwise, I won't buy it, you can find another buyer......

The seller became more and more panicked, and wanted to ask someone to go out to find out what was going on, but he was afraid that the buyer who had been so hard to do so would run away.

Just when they were hesitating, the others were also anxious to find Deng Jian and said, "How much more are you willing to offer......

At this time, the initiative was completely in the hands of Deng Jian, and the person who had hesitated at 30,000 taels had to grit his teeth and say: "Sell, sell, sell, sign now, buy and leave!" ”

…………

Zhang Shun went out of the city from the Yongding Gate, galloping all the way non-stop, walking seven or eight miles, but saw in the distance, the mighty men and horses were coming in the direction of the capital.

Zhang Shun was directly startled on the horse, and his face turned white with fright.

Looking at that team, it seems to be a thousand people, and from a distance, it is also murderous.

He couldn't help but be a little flustered, so he didn't dare to go up easily, and watched for a while, and when he was confronted, a scout was also sent out from this group of people, and this scout galloped over, and he interrogated in front of him: "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”

Seeing that the other party was wearing the cotton armor of the Ming army, Zhang Shuncai breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Dare to ask if there are Zhang Jing and a hundred households here?" We're here by order......"

"Come with me." The other party glanced at Zhang Shun before saying.

When Zhang Shun saw Zhang Jingyi again, he cried directly.

He rolled down from the horse, eager to hug Zhang Jingyi's thigh, and said pitifully: "Zhang Baihu, I can find you, Your Majesty ordered me to ......"

"Okay, okay, what are you crying about, aren't I not dead yet? Father-in-law Zhang, we are old acquaintances, get up quickly and follow me into the city. ”

Zhang Shun was shocked, looking back at the long line, but he was startled again.

Those...... It's the Jiannu people......

He saw the people with drooping heads, some of them weak, but behind their heads, there was a pigtail of money......

All of a sudden, Zhang Shun felt fresh.

This must be the Jiannu people, the Han people grow hair, except for the Jiannu people, there will be no such braids.

Even if it is fake, it will definitely not be done, because this braid is not like a freshly shaved one, and if it is a new shave, it can be seen at a glance.

He cautiously looked at these Jiannu people, frightened and frightened, afraid to approach them, but felt novel.

"You can go up and touch them, it doesn't matter." Zhang Jingyi instigated: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Ha......" Zhang Shun smiled awkwardly: "We don't dare." ”

He really didn't dare, in his eyes, there was no difference between Jiannu and orcs.

But...... These Jiannu people drooped their heads one by one, looking weak, their hands and feet were tied to ropes, and on both sides were the students who were on guard at any time according to the knife.

Zhang Shun was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Zhang Baihu, haha...... Zhang Baihu broke the slave ...... Congratulations. ”

He also found that there was a big cart at the back of the line, and when he looked at the cart closely, he was shocked again, and the car was full of heads, and these heads were ...... And lime was sprinkled, and there were one or two hundred.

Zhang Shun only hated himself for not borrowing money today, otherwise, ...... You should really be filial to Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jingyi looked at him calmly and said: "Go, follow me into the city, come, pass the order, tell the big guy, I'm about to enter the city, I have neatly put on my clothes and armor, we are not called Huazi, we want to enter the city in a dignified manner." ”

"Whoa!" An earth-shattering sound fell!

At this time, rumors are still flying in the city.

The Yongding Gate guard seemed very nervous, and the palace had come to order him to open the city gate, and he first sent a military horse out of the city to guard, and then let people open the city gate.

In this way, if something happens, the gates can be closed immediately.

Finally...... The mighty men and horses are coming.

The garrison had a calm face, and was busy turning over his horse, first instructing the deputy general to be ready for contingency at any time, and if he noticed that something was wrong, he would close the door immediately.

He rode on horseback and led a team of men and horses to meet him.

In the minds of the garrison, the so-called sacrifice of prisoners is probably just to take a few Jiannu people and come back to report a merit, on the one hand, to show their own merits, and on the other hand, to appease people's hearts.

But when I looked at it, I almost fell off the horse.

So much......

The oncoming military horses, all pressed their knives, and their bodies were full of murderous momentum. It was precisely those Jiannu people who were detained who were depressed and depressed.

At this moment, the garrison suddenly stood in awe.

In fact, in terms of grade, he is much higher than Zhang Jingyi of Baihu, but at this time, he hurriedly said: "Retreat, don't stop Zhang Baihu's victory, let me make my debut, stand up straight." ”

As he spoke, the others dismounted and stood aside.

The guards behind him made their debuts one after another, and they were also in awe, waiting without moving.

The centaurs passed through the Yongding Gate and appeared on the long street of the capital.

At this time, the streets were empty.

Not a single one.

Everyone only knew that when the city gate was opened, the soldiers and civilians were already frightened.

There are only mansions and shops along the street, and some people are watching the movement outside through the cracks in the doors.

The students were all majestic and high-spirited, and they stepped across the long street.

Occasionally, a bamboo whistle will blow, which seems to convey certain passwords.

"It's my Ming Dynasty's military horse...... the man behind the crack in the door...... Whispering: "I also saw the Jiannu people...... It's really the Jiannu people, the appearance of these Jiannu people, I heard the homeless people from Liaodong say, there is a whip in the back of the head. ”
