Du Datou was actually moved, and the ghost made the god agree.

Money can make ghosts grind, and under the attack of silver bullets, people tend to do some inexplicable things.

The other two hundred households who won the lottery looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, pulled the lottery in their hands, and asked playfully: "Is there anything else you want to buy, I also sold it for five hundred taels!" ”

The remaining hundred households looked at the two like fools.

"Five hundred taels? Lao Tzu can buy a big house! ”

"That's right, it's no problem to marry eight concubines!"

Du Datou patted Kong Dali's shoulder proudly, and said, "So thank you Brother Kong, Lao Tzu will be one step late, just follow the big boss." ”

Yang Xin smiled bitterly in his heart, if it was a last resort, he didn't want to take such a risk, those forty elite cavalry were bought with money, and as soon as Liu Zongmin's army ran away tomorrow, these people would definitely be fluctuating and unwilling to stay, if something happened, it would be difficult to clean up.

What's more, it's too dangerous to let the princess be trapped in a lonely city with herself.

At the moment, everyone discussed, how many people to send away, how many to stay, there were too many people, it was impossible to take into account, and finally the result of unanimous discussion was that 15 people were sent away from each flag, half of the family members, half of the soldiers, and each of the 100 households left ten capable soldiers, and gathered together about 200 people to leave the scene.

Yang Xin asked Daniel Zhang to lead the team, taking away seventy musketeers, and the forty elite cavalry who took the princess first, and a team of more than ten family members, led by the Zhang family. In addition, the teams of each family were nearly 400 people, all of whom had already gathered in the square of Temple Street at this time.

The princess changed into the clothes of an ordinary musketeer, mixed in the team, and when parting, she couldn't help but cry, these days the two depend on each other, once separated, there is always a sense of loss.

"Remember, don't stop after you leave the city, go all the way to Tianjin, stay near the dock, send people to wait at the dock every day, and once we escape from the city, we will go to you."

Before leaving, Yang Xin explained to Daniel Zhang and the princess.

Daniel Zhang looked excited and asked, "General, do we want to recruit troops when we arrive in Tianjin?" ”

Daniel Zhang left Yang Xin at this time, taking one hundred and ten soldiers with him, and a huge sum of 50,000 taels of silver with the army, with sufficient grain and grass, and his self-confidence began to swell.

Yang Xin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, he still remembered what Yang Xin told him to lay down a piece of land, but it was not easy to talk about, so he hurriedly said: "Don't use it for the time being, keep a low profile, don't argue with others, and wait until I arrive." ”

A group of more than 400 people, quietly taking advantage of the night, went to the agreed street at the entrance of the palace, and encountered a lot of sparse black shadows along the way, all of which went to the palace.

After a while, Sun Shixiong brought someone over.

"Brother, it's all up to you this time!"

Yang Xin greeted him warmly, and sent someone to present the prepared 1,000 taels of silver.

Sun Shixiong's face was full of spring breeze, he only smiled and closed his mouth, and said: "Brother, it's too polite, it's just a gesture!" ”

During this time in the capital, Sun Shixiong had earned more than 10,000 taels from Yang Xin, which was far more than the income obtained by the generals of the same level as him through robbery, and he was even richer than the low-level generals under Liu Zongmin's henchmen.

Liu Zongmin's military discipline is sloppy, and the generals are all arrogant, they don't take Li Yan in their eyes at all, and take some people out of the city by the way, just say hello to the above, Sun Shixiong has a good relationship with his boss, this kind of thing is a matter of one sentence, and he doesn't even need to send silver, just invite him to have a drink.

Yang Xin said goodbye to the princess and returned to Temple Street empty-hearted.

The next day, Liu Zongmin's army dragged a large amount of looted property, the women went out of the city, the palace was almost ransacked by him, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who did not run away were also taken away.

Li Shanyi took five hundred veterans to guard the city gate, watching Liu Zongmin's army go out of the city, but he didn't dare to stop it at all, his heart was mixed, the words that he said to boost morale before were basically wasted, and the recruits saw that Liu Zongmin had run away, and there was still a little courage in their hearts.

"Big brother, according to my subordinate soldiers, there are many recruits hiding in Liu Zongmin's army and trying to escape from the city, what should we do?"

Li Shanyong on the side was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat.

Li Shanyi was helpless, what else could he do? Liu Zongmin couldn't afford to be provoked, so he had to ask: "How many people are there?" ”

"I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand, a lot of new army hundreds!"

Li Shanyong said urgently.

"What?"

Li Shanyi jumped up excitedly, so many people ran, and there were a large number of low-level officers, the new army was afraid that it would be greatly damaged.

"Quickly order someone to report to the marshal, I'll find a way to drag them down first!"

Li Shanyi didn't dare to be careless, and took people to find Liu Zongmin, at this time, Liu Zongmin's vanguard had slowly left the city, Liu Zongmin knew how to enjoy it, and made a luxury carriage, and brought a few beautiful palace maids on the car.

"General, Li Shanyi, the general of the Beida Battalion guarding the door, asks to see you!"

Liu Zongmin was flirting with the palace maid in the carriage, and a personal soldier reported.

"Nope! What is he, is he qualified to meet? ”

Liu Zongmin ignored it and refused directly, he was really annoying Li Yan's people, and he didn't even want to see Li Yan, let alone his minions.

Li Shanyi didn't even get the opportunity to meet, let alone use force, so there was no way to delay the time, so he could only watch the army go out of the city, anxiously waiting for Li Yan.

Not long after, Li Yan rushed with a team of cavalry.

"What about Liu Zongmin? Ben Shuai wants to see him! ”

Li Yan shouted angrily at Liu Zongmin's personal soldiers.

Yang Xin and the others, who were on the city wall, saw Li Yan rushing over, and their hearts suddenly tightened, Yang Xin even regretted it a little, could it be that he sent too many people away, or did he attract Li Yan's attention?

At this time, I naturally didn't dare to be careless, so I went to watch.

Liu Zongmin was so noisy that he couldn't flirt in the carriage with peace of mind, and poked his head out of the window and asked, "Li Yan, why do you have so much?" I used to urge Lao Tzu to go every day, but now that Lao Tzu is gone, what are you doing here? ”

When the red lady saw Liu Zongmin, she scolded: "I, I still have the face to say, before His Majesty ordered you to march south, you just coveted the comfort of the palace and dragged it out, and now the Manchu army is coming, and you are in a hurry to escape, why don't you help us repel the Qing soldiers before leaving?" ”

Liu Zongmin's face turned blue with anger, and said: "General Ben was ordered to march south, you can leave whenever you want, it's your business, if you talk more, Lao Tzu will be angry!" ”

sneered in his heart, does this Li Yan want to leave his army to defend the city? Why didn't he want to sleep with the Queen Mother? Think too much!

Li Yan grabbed the red lady and said coldly to Liu Zongmin: "General Liu, if you want to leave, our husband and wife will not stop you, but there are many new troops in your army who want to follow and escape, you have to leave them for me." ”

Liu Zongmin didn't expect that his subordinates also hid the new army, and his heart was suddenly happy, thinking that these rabbit cubs were afraid that they were making extra money, so let's take the recruits to escape and get some bribes, he is not stupid, who is willing to stay here and wait for death now, those little tricks of his subordinates, he can still guess?

But he didn't want to care at all, he thought, whoever the hell took the money and settled it himself, he was not in the mood to care about such a trivial matter, especially Li Yan's escape made him very unhappy, as if he was sarcastic about seeing the Qing army fleeing.

So he said: "New army, where is the new army?" Lao Tzu didn't see it, as far as your new army is not as good as breeding, Lao Tzu can't look down on it! ”

So he stopped talking to Li Yan and retracted his head directly into the carriage.

Li Yan trembled with anger, turned his head and said to the several battalion generals behind him: "He doesn't care if we go to his team to find it ourselves, find it for General Ben to pull out and catch!" ”
