Zhu Youzhen looked at Ling Jingyang in horror on the city wall, and shouted to Ling Jingyang with all his strength.

"Ling Jingyang, you bombarded Yicheng, is there still a big Ming in your eyes?"

Ling Jingyang rode on his horse and laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, do you still have me in your eyes, this loyal general who resisted Jiannu for the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Youzhen didn't respond to him, and Ling Jingyang shouted again: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to hold a royal wedding, can I let all the soldiers and soldiers witness the demeanor of the imperial concubine?" ”

Most of Ling Jingyang's troops are soldiers and young men of the Dashun Army, only a small number of them are Ming troops, and there is not much reverence for the Ming royal family.

It wasn't until Ling Jingyang said this sentence that Zhu Youzhen understood why Ling Jingyang wanted to bombard Yicheng, this was not just revenge for the mutiny, but also for Bai Lushui, he could feel Ling Jingyang's anger, if it was for Bai Lushui, then Yicheng would become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

He experienced a painful struggle in his heart, but he was a military general in the city, and he was very angry by Ting Jingyang, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to cause infighting in the Ming army because of a woman, he and Ling Jingyang said: "It's cold outside the city, why don't you go to the city, I will drink with you?" ”

Ling Jingyang scoffed and asked him to go to the city, it is estimated that it will be his head when he comes back, he and Zhu Youzhen said: "Your Majesty, there are many people in the city, why don't you go to our army for a few drinks?" ”

One move and one attack and defense suffocation, where did Zhu Youzhen dare to go outside the city, he looked back at Wang Chengen, and said to Wang Chengen: "Who leaked the news that I am going to get married?" ”

Li Jiantai and Ximen Zhu, who were behind Wangcheng, glanced at each other, and saw from each other's faces that they didn't want to speak, and Wang Chengen didn't know who leaked His Majesty's marriage, and he and Zhu Youzhen had a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't know."

"Come down, don't talk to that madman Ling Jingyang on the city wall."

Zhu Youzhen and the minister came down from the city wall, and Ling Jingyang did not continue to bombard the city wall, he was waiting for the city to give him an attitude.

Zhu Youzhen took the ministers back to the Jinluan Palace, and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, who can talk to this crazy man? ”

Everyone looked at Ximen Zhu, they all knew that Ximen Zhu was from Ling Jingyang, and only when Ximen Zhu went out of the city would he not be slaughtered by Ling Jingyang.

Ximen Zhu quietly looked at Li Jiantai, and Li Jiantai was also wondering whether to stand up bravely at this time to make His Majesty appreciate him more.

But you look at the rebels outside the city today, in fact, you have to set foot in the Wing City, he doesn't want Ximen Zhu, a protégé, to die in vain, after all, he finally has his own protégé in the six departments, he didn't say anything, Ximen Zhu understood what he meant, and he bowed his head and didn't speak.

Zhu Youzhen really couldn't stand it, and said to Ximen Zhu: "Ximen Zhu, you used to follow Ling Jingyang to mingle, you went outside the city to catch up with Ling Jingyang, see what he was going to do when he came to Yicheng?" ”

Of course, Ximen Zhu is not afraid of being killed by Ling Jingyang, he is a chess piece of Ling Jingyang in the Chongzhen Imperial Court, but he is still reluctant to do it on the surface.

"Your Majesty, I and the thief are incompatible, Your Majesty asked the minister to go outside the city, the minister must go, but I am afraid that if I go, it will be the corpse of the minister who comes back."

Zhu Youqi's lungs are about to explode.

"Ximen Zhu, if you go, Ling Jingyang dares to attack you, and I will mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the world to encircle and suppress Ling Jingyang and his rebels, and give you revenge."

At this time, Li Jiantai should have stood up to speak to Ximenzhu, but when he saw that His Majesty was angry, he didn't dare to support Ximenzhu at this time, so he started to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and Ximenzhu was forced to have no choice, so he had to agree with Zhu Youzhen and go out of the city to the rebel camp tonight.

Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen nodded, and Wang Chengen roared: "Retreat." ”

The ministers dispersed one after another, only Zhu Youzhen and Ximen Zhu were in the Jinluan Palace, Zhu Youzhen asked him to go out of the city and meet with Ling Jingyang, try to get what Ling Jingyang wants, if it is grain and grass, you can give it, but not too much, at most 50,000 stone grain and grass.

Ximen Zhu put Zhu Youzhen's words in his heart, and he suddenly remembered the imperial concubine that Ling Jingyang said, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this imperial concubine?" ”

Zhu Youzhen likes Bai Lushui very much in his heart, but compared with Jiangshan Sheji, Bai Lushui is a floating cloud and a goose feather, he quickly made a choice to abandon Bai Lushui, but he couldn't show his selfish side in front of Ximen Zhu.

"As for the imperial concubine, let the governor of Lingdu see her face tonight

Face. ”

Ximen Zhu was so surprised that he couldn't speak, he didn't know that the imperial concubine was Bai Lushui, and said to His Majesty: "Minister.. I'll go out of town tonight. ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and motioned him to go down, Ximen Zhu left the palace with his head down, and returned to the mansion alone, but found that there were two more family members at the door of the mansion, and he immediately understood that this was Fang Xiaoyan's manpower in Yicheng, and he would obey his command from now on.

He returned to the mansion with his front foot, and Li Jiantai came with his subordinates on the back foot, and Ximenzhu heard that Li Jiantai was coming and came out to greet Li Jiantai.

The two came to the living room, and Li Jiantai said to him: "Ximen Zhu, go outside the city tonight, but you have to protect your life, don't let the thief hurt your body." ”

"Teacher, rest assured, the student's life, he still has to work hard for the teacher, and he definitely can't die in the thief barracks."

Li Jiantai actually came to understand why Ling Jingyang wanted to witness the side of the imperial concubine, for a warlord leader, an imperial concubine is not much of an important thing, he talked to Ximen Zhu about the doubts in his heart, Ximen Zhu was also a little curious, I don't understand that Ling Jingyang bombarded Yicheng, just to take a look at the imperial concubine?

"You go outside the city and figure out this matter for the teacher, and we can use this to suppress Wang Chengen in the future."

"Students understand."

After Li Jiantai and Ximen Zhu greeted him for a while, he left, and Ximen Zhu also cleaned up at home, and outside the gate of his house, Bai Dun came to see him off with dozens of brocade guards.

Ximen Zhu and Bai Dun are not familiar with each other, but after he saw Bai Dun, he suddenly remembered in his mind that this was Bai Lushui's general?

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Ling Jingyang wanted to attack Yicheng on a large scale, and he also knew the true face of the imperial concubine, no wonder Fang Xiaoyan hurriedly returned to Yicheng.

His heart suddenly jumped rapidly, Bai Dun looked at him contemptuously, and said, "Lord Ximen, please." ”

Under the escort of Bai Dun and others, Ximen Zhu drove a carriage out of the city from the north gate, Ling Jingyang's army outside the city did not attack Ximen Zhu, which was also Ling Jingyang's repeated orders, did not hear the military order, no soldier was allowed to attack the soldiers and civilians in the city, and those who disobeyed the military order were beheaded under the city.

Ximen Zhu came to the gate of the rebel barracks, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the carriage was taken away, and he was carried into the barracks by more than a dozen soldiers.
