The old peasant-looking writer seemed to suddenly remember something important, and he immediately replied: "Yes, yes! When I passed through the countryside of Tongguan, I heard rumors and rumors, and it was rumored that the Mantars had come in again, and surrounded the city of Beijing on three sides; I also heard that the emperor had issued three edicts in a row, asking Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to enter King Qinqin as soon as possible; and I heard that Hong Chengchou had already led his men and horses to leave Xi'an, and wanted to cross the Yellow River from Hancheng and go north to King Qin, as if Sun Chuanting was still staying in Tongguan, but some people saw that some of his men and horses had secretly crossed the Yellow River from Fengling. ”

Zicheng suddenly stood up from the fire, his eyes were wide because of his emotion, and he stared at the face of the person under the book and asked loudly, "When did the Tartar come in?"

"I heard it was last month. The writer replied

"Is it true that the emperor sent Hong Chengchou to King Qin?" Li Zicheng couldn't help but be surprised at this moment, before his nephew parted, he had analyzed with himself about the Tartar invasion and Lu Xiang's promotion to King Qin. At that time, he also wondered why his nephew, who had a tendon, was different from the past during this time, as if he was suddenly possessed by the erudite Liu Bowen.

"The emperor told Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to go to King Qin, Hong Chengchou has already left Xi'an, and the villain has heard it with his own ears and seen it with his own eyes. As for the fact that many officers and soldiers have already crossed the Yellow River, I just heard rumors from the people, and I don't know whether it's true or not. The words of the writer were full of anxiety for the sake of the friendly forces.

"How did Cao Shuai know that I was here at this time, and how did he decide to attack Tongguan tomorrow, that is, on the 17th?" Zicheng suddenly asked, his eyes were sharp, like two sharp swords piercing each other's hearts for a while.

"He, he, he didn't know you were here at this time, but he told me to wait for you around here. "The next person seemed a little flustered when he repeated the same detail in the face of different people, but a small person who didn't have much knowledge saw a big coffee like Li Zicheng, and a few of them were not frightened.

"Oh, since he didn't know that I was here today, how could he decide to attack Tongguan tomorrow? Isn't that going to be alone against the enemy?" staring at the next scholar with blazing eyes, Li Zicheng was shocked and angry in his heart, "Didn't you be told by Guo'er, this Tong is definitely the Maicheng of the army?" I still remember that when my nephew learned that he had received the task of breaking the queen, he earnestly said to himself that he might stay for life, and if the army insisted on breaking through Tongguan, it would be a catastrophe of destruction......"

Li Zicheng's heart was cold, and his eyes were even more cold as frost, and the knife was like a knife in the heart of the next scholar, "How did Cao Shuai decide, I'm just a small leader, and I am a humble person, how do I know?"

As he spoke, the person who wrote the book also became angry, "But as far as I can see, there is nothing strange about this! We Cao Shuai have a lot of men and horses, and we are not afraid of the officials and soldiers; for the sake of our friends, we are willing to be righteous and angry, and we want to rescue you King Li Chuang and fight back to northern Shaanxi, he doesn't care where you are now, first attack Tongguan and lead the officials and troops to the east, which will help you King Li Chuang out of the pass." ”

He sat motionless by the fire with a disdainful face, and then sneered and said, "King Chuang, Cao Shuai is bent on saving you, why are you so suspicious?"

"I'm not suspicious of Cao Shuai, I'm suspicious of you!" The two of them were almost face to face, and the hot air that erupted from Li Zicheng's nostrils almost roasted the next scholar.

The simple-faced scribe roasted himself by the fire. Both hands trembled and they didn't tremble, but their faces were very unsightly. As if trying his best to suppress the anger in his chest and keep himself calm, with a mocking smile on his face, he slowly rose from the fire, grinned slightly, bowed down and said, "King Chuang, although I have not been under your men, I have often heard people say that you are 'bold as a fight, and your heart is as careful as a hair.'"

He also looked at Li Zicheng's eyes and said word by word, "My family marshal said that if it weren't for this, you wouldn't have achieved such a big climate." You are suspicious of me today, and you should be, and if I were in your position, you would be suspicious of anyone who comes. ”

Ignoring the unkind eyes of everyone in the room, he said calmly, "On weekdays, our righteous army often sends fine work to the official army, and the official army also sends fine work to our volunteer army. You are in this dangerous situation today, so you should be more careful. What's more, we haven't met in the past, and we don't know people but don't know our hearts, how can you rest assured?"

The person who came also looked like a bull temper, he ignored the contemptuous smile on Li Zicheng's face, patted his badge and said, "When I came, Cao Shuai also told the villain about this, and I expected you to be suspicious." But it doesn't matter, please rest assured, brothers who broke into the camp. Since I dare to come here and present a secret letter, I will not leave. ”

He thumped his dry chest loudly, "I want to follow you out of Tongguan, and then go back to Cao Ying to hand over to the marshal." In the future, if you see that I am suspicious, let you Li Chuang Wang shoot him to death with arrows, and divide the corpses of the five horses, as you please. But at the moment, when the enemy is in front of you, and there are pursuers behind you, you must not be half-hearted, hesitate, and miss a big thing!"

After saying this, the man turned his face to Mrs. Gao, and said to Gao nonchalantly: "Madam, I have been hungry for more than a day, please tell which brother to get me something, so that I can fill my stomach." ”

Gao's face was hesitant, Li Zicheng didn't wait for his wife to speak, laughed loudly a few times, nodded to a group of personal soldiers standing at the door, and said as if ordering someone to kill a pig for the New Year: "Come on, push this spy out and cut it down!"

Shuangxi and Zhang Nai, who had been waiting in the house for a long time, heard Li Zicheng's order, and immediately walked in a few people, and the eagle grabbed this person like a chicken and walked out.

The person who wrote the book did not beg for mercy, it was obviously a strong temper, he did not plead at all, sighed as he walked, and said to himself self-deprecatingly: "I also have followed Cao Shuai for a few years, but I didn't expect that I couldn't die on the battlefield, but I died in the hands of my own family! ”

One of Li Zicheng's personal soldiers listened to his nonsense, and couldn't help but punch him in the back and scolded loudly: "What nonsense, today Lao Tzu just cut off your bastard for dinner, and it has been your ancestor who has cultivated virtue for eight lifetimes!"

Although the person who wrote the book was restrained, his mouth was unambiguous: "Brother, if you want to kill, you can kill, there is no need to scold?"

Just as the person who wrote the book was about to be pushed out of the threshold, Li Zicheng suddenly took a step towards the door and asked in a loud voice: "What else do you have to say, say it quickly!"
