The next day, the sky was overcast and misty.

In front of the Zhu Mansion, the beautiful woman who saw off her was already teary-eyed.

It is the first time for Zhu Chengjun to face such a parting of life and death, although he is calm on the surface, his heart has already been turbulent.

"The concubine is waiting for her husband to come home." Rui Jinxuan forced herself to cry, but the tears still slid down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at Mingjing, Lan'er and Luan'er, who were facing away from the gate of the mansion, raised their trembling hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of his beloved wife's eyes, and resolutely turned around and stepped into the carriage. Zhu Chengjun knows this, maybe he doesn't know life and death.

"Riding the ......" the horse's hooves fluttered lightly and clicked away.

Seeing her husband go away with his sword, until the carriage disappeared from view, Rui Jinxuan, Lan'er, and Luan'er were still reluctant to withdraw their gaze. The unstoppable tears are like pearls with broken threads, and the eyes are already crying red.

"Don't worry, he has his own natural appearance." Ming Jing clenched Rui Jinxuan's cold little hand and comforted.

"Woo woo......" Rui Jinxuan lay on Mingjing's shoulder and cried loudly.

Ming Jing stroked Rui Jinxuan's shoulders and back, as if she was also infected by Rui Jinxuan, and her throat felt very uncomfortable.

There were no pedestrians on the road, and the once noisy streets were surprisingly quiet this morning.

In the carriage, Zhu Chengjun held the long sword in his arms, waved away the sorrow in his heart, put away the love of his children, and shouted to Xu Xiao through the curtain of the carriage: "How many people have come to welcome the Yuan army, and which ones have left with their families." ”

"Back to the eldest brother, after our multi-party mobilization, the number of people who lined up to welcome the Yuan army into the city this time was no less than 10,000, and it was in place before dawn, and our people were arranged inside and outside the city to maintain order, please rest assured, eldest brother." Xu Xiao paused, and then said: "Those who fled with their families are all small rich families, and those with big families and big businesses don't seem to have any plans to flee. ”

Although a small family owner is distressed when he sells it, it will not hurt his flesh, but the big family business is not, the bigger the family business, the more difficult it is to give up, even if he sells it cheaply in a short time, it is difficult to find the next family to take over.

"That's good, it's all gone." Zhu Chengjun sighed deeply.

Xu Xiao also sighed with emotion, everything that should be left is gone, what will be the fate of those who can't go and those who stay.

"Big brother, where are we going...... Wait. Xu Xiao wanted to use the word 'welcome', but he felt panicked in his heart.

"You don't need to go out of the city, just park on the corner of the county office." Zhu Chengjun knew that there were cowardly officials who abandoned the people and abandoned the city to flee for their lives, and the evil and powerful who were on the evil side in ordinary times would be staged there.

Xu Xiao drove the carriage slowly to the corner of the county yajie, and the side by the yamen was already full of money and luggage of the retribution of the present world, and many items were stacked up to make a wall. Zhu Chengjun flicked a small corner of the curtain and saw the county Cheng Zou Ji, the county lieutenant Zhong Lizhen, the chief bookkeeper Gu Yu, the teacher Chen Xianyan and the family members of the Sun and Tian families.

At this moment, the officials kneeling at the gate of the county government are not the officials who used to play official tones, and the officials who stare at the officials are the rich squires who ride on the heads of ordinary people to make a fortune.

They are all rich or noble people in a county, how can they have suffered this crime, not only by the people they have oppressed in the past but also kneeling for a little half of the night, if it were not for the power of evil and hatred in their hearts, I am afraid that they would have fainted to death.

Seeing their miserable appearance, Zhu Chengjun lowered the car curtain, knowing their ugly faces and criminal past, Zhu Chengjun didn't think that these people could arouse his pity, of course, we are not people whose sympathy is easy to overflow.

"Boom...... Bang ......"

Zhu Chengjun was about to sleep for a while, and felt that the ground under his feet seemed to tremble.

The shock of the elite Mongolian iron horse, Zhu Chengjun can clearly feel the majestic momentum from afar.

"Yo...... Yo ......" The horse was frightened and kicked wildly.

It took Xu Xiao a lot of effort to quiet the frightened horse.

Zhu Chengjun unconsciously clenched the long sword in his hand, only feeling cold sweat flowing from his armpits.

Pursing his dry lips, Zhu Chengjun tried his best to keep himself calm, and he was about to go to meet the foreign conquerors, at that time, if he had the slightest weakness and spineless performance, it would undoubtedly make the generals of the Yuan army look down on him, and a beggar who could not win the slightest respect from the conquerors may not even have a place for you to kneel.

Suddenly, all the horses were together, and Zhu Chengjun seemed to sense that Meng Yuantie had stopped outside the city gate. The sudden halt of the iron cavalry did not make Zhu Chengjun relax much, but felt depressed, and rushed at this well-trained iron cavalry, Zhu Chengjun knew that it was no accident that Meng Yuan was able to incorporate the Central Plains and Han into the imperial territory.

Outside the city tower, the iron cavalry of the Yuan army was waiting for it, and the army was neat and tidy, and it was as immobile as a mountain.

In the face of the majestic iron cavalry of the Yuan Army, the people who lined up to greet them all hung their hearts, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere.

"Prime Minister Qi, the people of Zhongli County welcome our army into the city."

Most of the Mengyuan iron cavalry battles were fought by force, even if they accepted the surrender, they were always passive, and it was rare for the city to take the initiative to surrender.

"Oh." A very majestic voice in the carriage was also a little surprised, and the people took the initiative to go out of the city to greet them with the highest courtesy, which was definitely the first time in his military career that he led the army to sweep the Central Plains.

"Go and find out, who is the one who led the crowd to greet my Dayuan Iron Rider."

"Command." Hearing the order, the general immediately turned his horse's head and rode his horse to the city gate.

The general glanced at the people who looked frightened but kept the formation intact, and found that it was not the chief official of a county in the Song Dynasty who led the crowd to greet him, but a few weak scholars, and the general was also surprised. The general pointed to the horsewhip, pointed to the scholar standing directly below the city gate, and shouted: "A few of you, come forward and reply." ”

Deng Yue, Shi Qian approached step by step with heavy legs.

"Deng Yue, a student of Zhongli County, led the people of the city to welcome the Great Yuan Wang Shi into the city."

"Students?" The subordinate general raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked, "You mobilized these people?" ”

"Back to the general's words, this mobilization to welcome the Great Yuan Wang Division is the new Xie Yuan Gong, Zhu Chengjun, and Zhu Gongzi in this county."

"Where are the others?" Seeing that it was not the main person who led the crowd to greet him, the general seemed to be displeased.

"Zhu Gongzi is already waiting in the county office, and the general is invited." Shi Qian bowed.

The general glanced at the two of them, looked up at the banner across the city gate, and then turned his horse's head.

Shi Qian and Deng Yue wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads.

"Back to Prime Minister, it was Zhongli County student Zhu Chengjun who greeted my Great Yuan Wangshi."

The ministry will borrow the honorific titles given by the two scholars.

"Master Wang?" Immediately after the people in the car let out a hearty laugh, the Song people all regarded the Dayuan Iron Horse as a flood beast, and were crowned as "Wang Shi" to welcome into the city, throughout Mongolia since the Central Plains, He had received this courtesy. It is a win-win situation both militarily and politically, and it is also one of the honors that can be obtained as the commander of an army.

"Assemble your army into the city." The majestic man added, "Don't disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Since he is crowned as a king, he should have the style that a king's master should have.

"Command!"

Not far away, Deng Yue saw that Yuan Jun was changing formations, in an orderly manner, and the horse's hooves were not alarmed.

Seeing this scene, Deng Yue and Shi Qian glanced at each other and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

As long as the Dayuan Iron Cavalry did not raise their swords and ride their horses into the city, it meant that they had no malicious intent for the time being.

When the Yuan army entered the city, they saw that the gate of the county government was open, and it was even more empty.

"Big brother, Yuan Bing has arrived." Xu Xiao turned his head and said.

Zhu Chengjun lifted the curtain of the car door, but the streets were already full of Mongolian infantry, and the people on both sides of the street consciously took three steps back. At this time, a luxurious carriage slowly drove under the protection of two teams of elite cavalry.

The carriage stopped, and a burly middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage, glanced at the silent people and bowed his head slightly, as if satisfied with their performance. The middle-aged man glanced at the treasures piled up on the wall on the left, and when his eyes stopped at the nearly 100 people who were tied up by the flowers, he was a little surprised, and he didn't know where this was.

"Why is that?" The middle-aged man's voice was like a bell.

Deng Yue, who came later, Shi Qian just in time for the middle-aged man to ask.

"Lord Hui, these are all officials who abandoned the city and fled for their lives, ignoring the people, as well as local tyrants and bullies who do evil and are full of evil on weekdays." Deng Yue pulled Shi Qian, who was pale and blue beside him.

"This is their crime, please look at it." Shi Qian bowed down and lifted the charges of these people above the top.

The middle-aged man motioned to the ministry to take over the charges and walked into the yamen of the county government under martial law.

"You, let that guy named Zhu Chengjun hurry up and come over to meet the prime minister of the Great Yuan Empire." The ministry will not pay much attention to the two.

Deng Yue and Shi Qian looked around, and saw Zhu Chengjun just getting out of the car and walking towards them, the two of them knew whether the people of the county could be exempted from the soldiers this time, and hoped that it would all be tied to Zhu Chengjun.

"Who is the leader?" It was a little far away just now, and Zhu Chengjun didn't hear it clearly.

"Prime Minister of the Great Yuan Empire." Deng Yue replied.

"Boyan." Zhu Chengjun said casually.

History has commented on this person, and Boyan is known for his deep and good judgment.

Deng Yue, Shi Qian shook his head and said that he didn't know.

"Brother Zhu, are you going to meet Prime Minister Dayuan with your sword?" Shi Qian saw Zhu Chengjun holding a long sword.

"It's just a prop for acting." Zhu Chengjun smiled and said, "You find a place to wait for me." ”

After the words fell, Zhu Chengjun walked to the main gate of the county government with a sword in hand.

"Stop! Who are you? The Mongolian soldiers in charge of guarding the gate blocked Zhu Chengjun's way.

Zhu Chengjun did not offer the long sword with both hands, nodded to the two Mongolian soldiers, and said: "Please give a good word to the two of you, Zhu Chengjun, a student from Zhongli County, will meet the right prime minister of Zhongshu." Immediately, Zhu Chengjun presented the sword with both hands and said, "Please also send this sword to Lord Boyan." ”

"Wait." The guard took the sword and turned to go inside.

After only ten minutes, the guards went and returned, and immediately introduced Zhu Chengjun into the county hall.

When he came to the county hall, Zhu Chengjun saw Boyan sitting in the front of the court looking at the sword.

"Whew...... Buzz...... "Boyan slashed down in the air with his sword, and the piercing sound of breaking the air shook people's eardrums.

"Good sword!" Boyan praised repeatedly.

"Be bold, why don't you kneel when you see the Prime Minister." The left and right generals saw that Zhu Chengjun did not bow down.

Boyan didn't seem to mind, raised his hand to stop the left and right generals, stared at Zhu Chengjun, and asked, "You are Zhu Chengjun?" Zhongli County's current state trial solution to Yuan Gong? ”

"In Xia Zhu Chengjun, I have seen Lord Boyan." Zhu Chengjun is still neither humble nor arrogant.

"Do you recognize your face?" Boyan saw that although the other party was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old weak scholar, he was quite iron-clad, and he couldn't help but feel a little interested in this young man who could still behave calmly in front of him.

"The supreme commander of the Song Dynasty personally appointed by Emperor Dayuan, the name is like thunder, and the world knows it."

Boyan slashed down again with his sword, but this time it landed on the corner of the case.

The corner of the "......" case is easily cut off, and the incision is as smooth as a mirror.

"What is the purpose of you entering this sword in your true form?" Bo Yan glanced at the spotless floating sword body.

"In the next time, I will come to ask for my life, if I can't do it, I will also ask my lord to take my head with this sword, and let the people of this county go first." Zhu Chengjun took a step forward, raised his head and looked at Boyan, with a generous and righteous spirit.
