Emperor Chongzhen was surprised and shocked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Jiang and Zuo Li are both wanted criminals by Jinyiwei, and Luo Yangxing wants to kill the two of them quickly. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen agreed to the wanted arrest of Wang Jiang and Zuo Li.

A Jinyi guard with a thousand households, and a brocade guard with a hundred households, not only premeditated to kill the commander of the Jinyi guard, but also dared to escape from prison.

This is a very humiliating thing for the Ming court.

However, he didn't expect that in the end, Luo Yangxing betrayed the emperor and colluded with the civil official group, but Wang Jiang and Zuo Li, who were the key criminals, rushed to the rescue.

There is nothing more ironic in the world than this.

Who is loyal and who is traitor?

Emperor Chongzhen was a little unclear.

"Wang Qianhu, Zuo Baihu, I know the two of you. Chongzhen said to Wang Jiang and Zuo Li, "You guys should be even." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

Wang Jiang and Zuo Li stood up.

"Your Majesty. Wang Jiang clenched his fists and said, "Now that the capital is surrounded by the 150,000 army of Li Yan and the Red Lady, it is in danger, and we ask the emperor to take the queen and the prince and others to follow us away." If Li Zicheng arrives, the army outside will enter the city. When the time comes, we want to go, but we can't leave. ”

Wang Jiang has been a Jinyi guard for 20 years, and he is loyal to the emperor. This time, he left Huashan with Zuo Li and came to the rescue, but he hid it from the White Crane Daoist.

Zuo Li also said: "Please also ask the emperor to make a decision early." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was a little moved, after all, no one would not care about their own lives. If he falls into the hands of Li Zicheng, he will have absolutely no chance of survival. Li Zicheng can let go of anyone, but he just won't let go of him, the Ming Emperor.

"At this moment, the capital is besieged, and you can only enter and not exit. Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "If you want to escape from the city, it's not easy to say." ”

Wang Jiang said: "Please rest assured, as long as the emperor agrees to go with us, with my martial arts, you can go out of the city without going through the city gate." ”

The city wall several zhang high could not stop Wang Jiang, a half-step grandmaster.

Acting at night, Wang Jiang has an eighty percent chance that he can leave the capital with Emperor Chongzhen and others.

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and left the capital, where could he go?

"Wang Jiang, Zuo Li, you can leave with the prince and princess. I won't leave!"

Emperor Chongzhen said firmly.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Jiang looked at Emperor Chongzhen in shock.

Before, Emperor Chongzhen was desperate, that was because no one came to the rescue, but now that he and Zuo Li are here, why would the emperor choose to stay?

Emperor Chongzhen turned around and left Empress Zhou's bedroom, and as he walked, he said: "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." I, after losing the country laid down by Emperor Taizu, what face do I have to stand between heaven and earth? Let me die and die for the country. ”

Wang Chengen looked at the lonely back of Emperor Chongzhen and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, if you don't leave, I won't leave either." ”

Zuo Li asked: "Big brother, what should I do if the emperor doesn't leave?" Wang Jiang was also anxious in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen didn't leave, and he didn't have the slightest way: "Li Zicheng rushed to the capital, it may take another day or two, we will take the queen and the prince and others out of the city first, and then find a way to save the emperor." ”

Zuo Li nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Wang Jiang said to Queen Zhou: "Queen Mother, let's leave now." Let's get out of the palace first, and tonight, we'll go out of the city. ”

Empress Zhou shook her head: "Wang Jiang, Zuo Li, both of you are truly loyal ministers, and it is the imperial court that has mistreated you." The palace and the emperor are married couples, and if he doesn't leave, the palace will naturally not leave. You take the prince and the princess and leave. ”

Empress Zhou was scared and desperate in her heart, but even if she had to die, she would die with Emperor Chongzhen.

Wang Jiang frowned, very annoyed in his heart.

If the emperor doesn't leave, and the queen doesn't leave, then he and Zuo Li came to the palace in vain.

"Wang Jiang, promise this palace one thing. Empress Zhou looked at Wang Jiang and said suddenly.

Wang Jiang said respectfully: "Please ask the queen mother, as long as Wang Jiang can do it, he will never give up!"

Empress Zhou nodded and said: "Now that the world is in turmoil, the emperor has lost the country, and the palace believes that the prince has no ability to reverse the situation and rebuild the rivers and mountains." This palace hopes that Cihong and Yu Jiao will worship you as a teacher and practice martial arts. In this way, they will also have the ability to survive in this troubled era. ”

Wang Jiang is one of the most powerful masters in Jinyiwei, although Queen Zhou does not care about political affairs, but she still knows about these situations. Back then, Wang Jiang assassinated Luo Yangxing, and things could make a big fuss.

"Cihong, Yu Jiao, you two kneel down for Wang Jiang Daxia, and apprentice now!" Empress Zhou said to the crown prince and Princess Kunxing.

Empress Zhou did this to protect Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao. After leaving the capital, the two of them no longer have a backer, and if they don't apprentice, even survival will be a problem.

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao were about to kneel, but Wang Jiang hurriedly said, "Wait." The queen's mother, Wang Jiang's martial arts are low, how can He De become the master of the prince and the princess. Let me teach them to practice martial arts, I'm afraid it will mislead people's children. Otherwise, let the prince and princess worship under my junior brother. My junior brother is a young grandmaster, martial arts and swordsmanship are a hundred times better than mine, and the prince and princess have been taught by him, and their achievements in martial arts in the future are limitless. ”

It is no secret that Wang Jiang is the senior brother of White Lotus Sect Leader Chen Ji.

Empress Zhou listened to Wang Jiang's words, nodded, and agreed.

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao can worship under the sect master, of course, it is the best. It's just that Chen Ji's identity is a little unbeautiful. After all, the White Lotus Sect, in the eyes of the people, is a thief.

In fact, Wang Jiang hoped that Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao would worship under the White Crane Dao Chief, but the White Crane Dao Chief's vitality had not yet recovered, and now he was even more bent on how to step into the innate realm, and he had no intention of accepting apprentices for a long time. Wang Jiang could only retreat and let Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao worship under Chen Jimen.

Empress Zhou said: "Wang Jiang, there is no objection to your opinion. Take the prince and the princess with you. ”

Wang Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

"Mother, come with us. Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao took Queen Zhou's hand and cried loudly.

Queen Zhou shook her head and said, "You follow Wang Daxia and hurry up." In the future, when you come to your master's door, you must practice well. If your father doesn't leave, the palace will also stay, and he can't be left unaccompanied. ”

Wang Jiang and Zuo Li left the palace with the crown prince and princess and hid in the city.

"Zuo Li, the city is in chaos, you must protect the prince and princess. Wang Jiang said to Zuo Li, "After dark, we will go out of the city." ”

Zuo Li said with some worry: "Big brother, we are weak, I'm worried that something will happen." Otherwise, let's go to the White Lotus Sect's stronghold in the capital and ask for help. ”

Wang Jiang hesitated, shook his head and said, "No." We can't take any risk. Although we have few people, we are relatively safe, and the more one person knows the identity of the prince and princess, the more dangerous we are. ”

Wang Jiang had served as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, he was thoughtful and cautious, and he would not easily trust anyone, including the people of the White Lotus Sect, until the crown prince and princess were safely escorted out of the city.

Before it got dark, the army of more than 100,000 outside the city was boiling.

Wang Jiang, who was hiding in the shadows, said to Zuo Li: "Take care of the prince and princess, I'll go out and have a look." Come back soon. ”

Zuo Li nodded and said, "Big brother, be careful." ”

Not long after Wang Jiang left, Zhu Cihong's stomach screamed, Zhu Yujiao's face turned slightly red, and she was also hungry.

Zuo Li said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess." Wait a while, my eldest brother will definitely bring back food. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Zuo Baihu, I can still hold it." ”

Zhu Cihong knew that after leaving the palace, he would no longer be the prince, and in the future, he and his sister would follow Wang Jiang to live the life of Jianghu people.

In less than half an hour, Wang Jiang came back with three roast chickens, a large pot of rice, and a few plates of fried vegetables.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you are all hungry, I brought back some food. Wang Jiang said with a smile, "It's all some coarse tea and light rice, which can't compare to the food in the palace, I hope you will forgive me." ”

After Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao had eaten their fill, Wang Jiang and Zuo Li began to eat.

There is a difference between dignity and inferiority.

Wang Jiang and Zuo Li, unlike Chen Ji, completely engraved the idea of Zhongjun in the depths of their minds.

"Big brother, how is the situation outside?" Zuo Li asked.

Wang Jiang sighed and said, "Li Zicheng has arrived. The army outside is cheering. Early tomorrow morning, Li Zicheng will definitely enter the city!"

The speed at which Li Zicheng came was too fast.

Wang Jiang thought that there would be at least two or three days of buffer time, but he didn't expect Li Zicheng to arrive this afternoon.

"As soon as Li Zicheng enters the city, the emperor will be in danger!"

Zuo Li said in shock.

The expression on Wang Jiang's face changed for a while, and finally said: "The plan remains the same, send the prince and princess out of the capital first, and then make plans." ”

In the middle of the night.

The capital was quiet, and the atmosphere was very depressing. It gives people a feeling that the mountain rain is coming.

Wang Jiang, Zuo Li, Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yujiao, and the four of them came to the city wall. Looking at the tall city wall, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao were a little stunned, how could they get out so high?

Wang Jiang performed light skills, borrowed strength on the wall several times, and went up to the city wall. Soon, a rope was dropped.

Zuo Li tied Zhu Cihong first and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't move, my eldest brother will pull you up." ”

Zhu Cihong is just a teenager and weighs less than 100 catties, which is very easy for Wang Jiang.

The rope was dropped for the second time, and Zuo Li tied Zhu Yujiao well.

Soon, all four of them went up to the city wall.

"Who! ”

A shout came.

Wang Jiang's face changed and he was discovered.

didn't have time to think about it, Wang Jiang pulled out the embroidered spring knife and slashed at the other party.

With Wang Jiang's martial arts and sword skills, it is enough to split an ordinary martial artist in half. It's a pity that this time Wang Jiang miscalculated, and the martial arts of the person who came were stronger than him, a half-step grandmaster.

"Bang!"

Swords collided, bursting into dazzling sparks. The internal energy causes the surrounding air to vibrate violently.

Wang Jiang was shocked back more than ten meters, and his whole body was numb from the powerful force.

"Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

Wang Jiang was shocked in his heart, and the secret way was not good.

Finally seeing who it was, Wang Jiang said coldly: "Grandmaster Yuanhong, it turns out to be you!"

The person who came was none other than Yuan Hong of the Quanzhen Sect.

"Yes, it's the poor road. Yuan Hong held a long sword in his hand and said with a smile, "The city of Beijing has been surrounded by King Chuang's military horses, and no one can leave the city." Wang Jiang, who do you want to save when you sneak out of the city?"

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao were a little frightened, and Zuo Li pulled out the embroidered spring knife and blocked in front of them.

Li Yan's voice came from behind Yuan Hong: "Wang Jiang, the senior brother of the White Lotus Sect Leader Chen Ji, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu back then. I know you. ”

Wang Jiang had a sneer in his eyes: "General Li Yan is also here." ”

Li Yan took advantage of the moonlight to glance at Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao, who were standing behind Zuo Li, and said, "If General Ben didn't guess wrong, these two should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess." Wang Jiang, don't you think it's a pity that you don't save Emperor Chongzhen, only the prince and princess?"

Wang Jiang took a deep breath and said, "General Li Yan, you are right, these two are the crown prince and the princess. The prince and princess have already entered the door of my junior brother Chen Jimen, and if you want to harm the prince and princess, you must consider the consequences clearly. ”

was discovered by Yuan Hong and Li Yan, and Wang Jiang could only let Chen Ji move out. When Yuan Hong and Li Yan heard that the crown prince and the princess were Chen Ji's disciples, their faces suddenly changed.

They can not care about Wang Jiang, let alone the prince and princess, because Li Yan and they don't even pay attention to Emperor Chongzhen. But White Lotus Sect Leader Chen Ji, they couldn't help but be afraid.

Li Yan's thinking was racing, and he thought a lot in an instant, King Chuang already regarded himself as a thorn in his side, and after taking the palace, he might attack him. At this time, Chen Ji must not be offended. Li Yan also hoped that the White Lotus Sect would protect the Red Lady.

"Grandmaster Yuanhong, let them go!"

Li Yan said.

Yuan Hong nodded, and the long sword was sheathed.

In fact, Yuan Hong didn't want to be an enemy of Chen Ji. Offending a young grandmaster is not a wise thing to do. What's more, Chen Ji's martial arts are already above him, and Chen Ji can't do it if he wants to deal with Quanzhen Zhangjiao, but Chen Ji can still do it if he kills Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong used to keep looking for trouble with Chen Ji because he wanted to get the Tianyan Sword Spectrum. Now that the Quanzhen Sect has obtained the Tianyan Sword Spectrum, Yuan Hong naturally will not make enemies with Chen Ji again.

The Quanzhen Sect decided to give up supporting Li Zicheng, and now killing Wang Jiang and the crown prince will not benefit the Quanzhen Sect at all.

Wang Jiang hugged his fists and said, "General Li Yan, Grandmaster Yuanhong, thank you." ”

Li Yan said: "Wang Jiang Daxia, please ask General Daiben to say hello to Sect Leader Chen Ji and Daoist Baihe. Wang Jiang said, "Yes." ”

Wang Jiang and Zuo Li took Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao down the city wall, and soon disappeared into the night.

Li Yan looked at their disappearing backs, and said secretly in his heart: "It's a good thing to let Chen Ji owe me a favor." In the future, when the Red Lady arrives in the White Lotus Sect, her safety will be guaranteed. ”

Yuan Hong said: "We let go of the prince and princess, I hope not to be known by King Chuang, otherwise, we will not be able to explain." ”

Li Yan smiled slightly: "It is impossible for King Chuang to know. The people who patrol today are all General Ben's people. ”
