My voice was a little high, startled Min Shisan at the door poked his head over, his cold eyes swept over us, and finally fell on me, I also looked at him coldly, Guo Zheng had already grasped the hilt of the sword, just wait for me to say a word, he will move forward. Li Cong laughed a few times, motioned to Min Shisan to retreat, turned around and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Dudu, for the time being, there is no malice in the lowly position, just tell the truth." This is an obvious thing, sooner or later, don't adults know? ”

Before I could speak, he smiled and said: "Yes, Lord Governor doesn't know the news of the capital, it's no wonder, the Lord and the emperor have a deep affection, and they understand the humble position very well, but the emperor is running out of time, and the new monarch will succeed to the throne, so it is urgent!" ”

I listened and gasped, the news from the capital can't come, it must have something to do with them, I couldn't help but sneer, and said: "It turns out that you blocked the Zhenfu Division and didn't let the news leak out, it's really amazing!" ”

Li Cong was taken aback and said, "My lord is really smart, but we have no malicious intent!" Just wait for the adults to come back, everything is negotiable! ”

"What are you talking about? I and your General Jiang have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and he is treating me as an enemy by doing this! ”

Li Cong laughed again, then looked around, and said in a low voice: "Lord Dudu, I can come here today just to have some confidant words with adults. Put aside the great disrespect for the time being, the adults also know that if the emperor has an accident, what will happen to the close ministers around him? Of course, the adult controls the Jinyi Guard, and the punishment of Dongchang, the adult and the emperor are brothers, others give the surname is the righteous son, but the adult is a brother, the queen mother recognizes the adult as the righteous son, if the adult has no power, looking at the entire court, who else can there be? ”

"Since ancient times, once a son of heaven and a courtier. The lord is the emperor's personal entourage, and his grace is rare in the world. And the emperor is a rare king in the world, and his words and deeds are even more bizarre, and he must be criticized by later generations of history books. The new monarch succeeds to the throne, he will inevitably change his course, everything that the emperor admires and trusts, will be eliminated and alienated, no matter people and things, adults have handled a lot, not to mention that Jinyiwei has such a thief as Qian Ning, ruining Jinyiwei's reputation, adults know? ”

Li Cong looked at me with blazing eyes, which made me a little hairy, I took a breath, nodded and said: "I entered Jinyiwei at the age of sixteen, and I was born and died for fifteen years, and my brothers around me died and died, and the world misunderstood it too much, but I have never given up Jinyiwei, because it carries too much." Therefore, whether Xinjun likes it or not, he will definitely advance and retreat with Jinyiwei. ”

"Okay, since the lord said so, then I'm not welcome, the new monarch ascended the throne, he will definitely not reuse my generation, the lord has a soft spot for Jinyiwei, and the general is also deeply affectionate to the mighty regimental camp, so, when the time is extraordinary, the extraordinary method should be practiced."

"Oh, in extraordinary times, do extraordinary things! Master Li is really extraordinary, but I don't know how to do it? I asked softly with a sigh of relief.

"Join forces with the great general and support the new king." Li Cong said word by word, "The general has 200,000 border troops outside, and the adults control the Jinyi Guard, and join forces inside and outside to support an emperor who can treat us well in the future, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" ”

I smiled slightly and said, "We will join forces to support the new monarch, but I am afraid that the cabinet will not agree." Li Cong smiled and said, "Elder Yang Ge has agreed, what are you worried about?" ”

"What? Elder Yang Ge also agreed? I was not surprised, Li Cong was proud, and said: "Yang Ge has been in a high position for many years, how can he easily let go of power?" He has promised the general that he will do his best to help us, and we can find the right person for this life. ”

Yang Tinghe and Jiang Bin teamed up? I didn't believe it in my heart, but I still smiled on my face: "I still have to think about such a big thing." However, I appreciate the kindness of the general and Lord Li. As I said, I'm just a little person, just take care of Jinyiwei. ”

Li Cong nodded and said, "This matter is a big deal, and anyone will consider it seriously." Just reply to us before entering Beijing, the general has a soft spot for you, you don't have to be modest, you control the Jinyi Guard, how many imperial relatives rely on you, your relationship with the Tatars, affects the peace of the border stopper, hehe, if you join forces with the general, I believe that the Ming will be as strong as ever. Think about it, there is still something to do, so take your leave for the time being! ”

As he spoke, he got up and bowed his hand to me, but said: "However, Lord Dudu, let me remind you, you have offended many people for so many years, you must be careful on the road, it is better to wear civilian clothes, by the way, I brought your men, and you will talk about it later!" After speaking, Li Cong smiled secretly and walked away.

I was confused, but I saw a few people staggering in, all sloppy and with loose buns. The person at the head turned out to be Wei Gang, the Baihu of Beizhen Fusi, who was full of grievances, saw me, led everyone to kneel on the ground, and choked up: "My lord! ”

I was shocked and hurriedly stood up, Guo Zheng and others hurriedly helped them up, and I said, "Wei Gang, what's wrong?" How do you do this? Wei Gang said with tears in his eyes: "On February 28, Master Tongzhi Bao asked us to go to Yangzhou to find you, saying that the emperor's dragon health is not good, and let you come back quickly." I led six brothers to set off overnight, who knew that as soon as we arrived in Xuzhou, a group of masked people surrounded us, we showed our identities, and the convenience automatically dispersed. We didn't want to go into a hotel to eat, someone poisoned the food, we were all put down, and when we woke up, we found that we were locked in an empty room. We asked the other party who it was, why they arrested us, they didn't say, just warned us, don't act rashly, you can save your life without worry, soon, we also arrested a father-in-law, that father-in-law should also be looking for you, bent on escaping, some kung fu in the body, hit several people in the place, but was beaten to death by a thin and tall squinted old man, wailed for a long time, life and death are unknown. ”

"Yesterday, these people brought us up, said to see you, but blindfolded, gagged, tied hands, stuffed in the carriage, grinding and chirping for a long time, listening to the sound should have arrived in the city, waiting, until someone said, 'What about that guy, let these people go', we were released, let us go upstairs, we have been dizzy, and when we sober up a little, we found that those people had left early, and we came in."

Wei Gang said, tears welling up in his eyes. I knew in my heart that it was a good thing that Li Cong did, and the thin and tall old man must be Min Shisan, but I didn't feel angry, Guo Zheng had already said angrily: "What a Jiang Bin, you actually did this to us Jinyiwei." I took a deep breath, patted Wei Gang on the back, and said, "What are you crying about?" We are all people who have experienced life and death, and this is nothing. We will definitely get our revenge. ”

Wei Gang nodded vigorously and said, "Master Bao said, at this time, Jinyiwei must be tough and not afraid of anyone. He has already controlled the situation in the capital, so the Governor can enter the capital step by step. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and said, "Guo Zheng, everyone change their clothes, pack up, since we are back, we must have a row of noodles." ”

We changed into official uniforms and rushed out of the upper floor. Shocked that the guests downstairs stood up and avoided, someone had already rushed out, presumably Li Cong's eyes and ears, the shopkeeper opened his mouth wide, looked at us stupidly, I saw that there was no shortage of young men in the crowd, and said with a smile: "I don't say that I am Lord Zhu, I thought you knew me!" However, I am indeed Lord Zhu of Jinyiwei!! ”

The shopkeeper just smirked, not daring to move at all.

I went out of the store, Guo Zheng and others had already brought the horses, and the rest of the horses under the horse corridor were also strong, I signaled Wei Gang and others to lead the horses, and then said to the store: "I want to go back to Beijing today, there are not enough horses, let's borrow everyone's for the time being!" But there was no one to reply, so we got on our horses and headed straight out of the city.

We rushed to the north gate at a gallop, and the sergeant guarding saw our costume, but did not dare to stop us, and gradually went up to the official road, and even more quickly galloped over.

We ran more than 20 miles in one breath, and saw the sunset in the west, the sky was full of gold, if autumn is still common, now it is only the beginning of spring in March. I am reminded of the history books that whenever a country has a vision, it means that there will be something ominous in the imperial court...... Could it be Zhengde, hey, I don't dare to think about it, but my eyes are full of gold, and I can't help but think of the autumn of the tenth year of Zhengde, I am in Liaodong, and was ordered to pacify the incident provoked by the Xiaoyao faction, after three months of preparation, I finally drove the Xiaoyao faction to the seaside, the other party has lost most of it, the so-called Eight Pillars Country, the dead dead, the wounded, and I also lost many brothers, several hundred households sacrificed their lives for the country, and the good brothers were also seriously injured, but I relied on the advantage of firearms, or surrounded the other party's leader, such an evening, the same golden paving, a small forest, Surrounded by us, more than 20 zhang behind me, is the rough sea, I led the brocade brother to kill in front of the other party, the other party has lost the ability to resist, support each other, leaning on the trunk of the tree, the brothers who have already killed the red eyes are about to rush forward, I stopped them, because I saw the face clearly, looking at me with angry eyes, Qianqianyu holding a short dagger in his hand. I believe that at the last moment, she will definitely choose to kill herself. Therefore, I didn't go any further, but said lightly: "I was ordered to run an errand, and I can't avoid it." Going against the party, going against the party, going against the grain, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, don't be killed. The hands shook for a moment, but they gripped the dagger again.

When the people from the Loose Sect heard this, they didn't feel a trace of nervousness, and they all sat down as if no one was around. The woman did not sit down, but looked at me silently and said, "You have won!" But what do you get? ”

I didn't answer her, but spoke softly and said loudly: "You promise me not to step into the Ming Dynasty again, and I can let you go today." ”

Everyone was stunned, Brother Jinyiwei couldn't believe my words, and the Xiaoyao faction didn't believe it either, but I still said: "Daming has always been the Son of Heaven guarding the country, Daming is eternal, and anyone who wants to step in is whimsical." I was ordered to come to Liaodong to quell the rebellion, not only to kill, but also to hope for peace in Liaodong. Therefore, as long as you withdraw from Liaodong and do not set foot again, I will not pursue it again. But one thing, don't have illusions about making a comeback in the future. Here, there will be the commander of the Ming Dynasty, the army of the Ming Dynasty will be retained, and there will be the existence of our Jinyi Guard. ”

After a long time, the man sighed lightly and said, "We accept Lord Zhu's kindness, withdraw from Liaodong, and never enter the Ming Dynasty." ”

In this way, the mighty Xiaoyao faction withdrew from Liaodong, and no news ever came to my ears, and I just remembered that before parting, those sad eyes always stared at me, but I didn't dare to look at it squarely, because I knew that I really didn't dare to ......

For many years, I often recall this scene, and often hope to explain a few words to her, but when I wear this dress, it means that it is impossible to walk in the world easily. Now, I have to put my mind on my brother, from Li Cong's words, Zhengde's body is already unbearable, and he will leave us at any time, I don't know where I should go without his years?

A gust of wind blew, and I was suddenly startled, and there were trees on both sides, and I could only hear the rustling in my ears, and someone in front of me had put a branch to block the way. There is an ambush! As soon as I shouted, a large net fell from the sky and enveloped us only.

How can I let it wrap, I pulled out the waist knife, tapped the stirrup, and as soon as I lifted my breath, the whole person rushed upward, and with a wave of the knife in my hand, the wire net was cut. I had already taken out a few stones from my arms, swished out, and immediately hit a few people, and fell to the ground, with the sound of oops.

These people suddenly stopped, and my people also dismounted, showed their weapons, and gathered around, Guo Zheng shouted: "What person? Dare to intercept Jinyiwei? Someone on the other side sneered and said, "What's wrong with Jinyiwei?" We're stopping Jinyiwei! ”

The man was dressed in black, veiled, and slowly walked out, followed by four men in black. Guo Zheng said angrily: "Lang Lang Qiankun, you dare to block the road, and intercept Jinyiwei, is there any royal law?" The man said: "What kind of bullshit Wang Fa, today is the unjust debtor, we only want his life, the rest of the people, you can open the net and leave quickly!" The man said, pointing his hand at me, and said, "Brothers, this guy has killed many of our brothers, and here he is today, let him pay the debt with blood!" ”

As he spoke, he had already pulled out the short knife at his waist, and the other black-clothed people held various weapons and walked forward. Guo Zheng shouted, raised his sword forward, the rest of the brocade guards also followed forward, Wei Gang was by my side, I looked at the other party, it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, thinking that I was in a hurry to return to Beijing, how could I stay here for a long time, as the saying goes, capture the thief first capture the king, I took a deep breath and shouted, "Stop!" ”

Both sides stopped fighting and looked at me, and I stepped forward and said, "Since you are looking for me, there is no need to use swords and guns, but I don't know who Your Excellency is, where did I offend you?" ”

The man looked me up and down and said, "Even if you have a kind, you must have an enmity with us, otherwise we wouldn't be looking for you." ”
