Chapter 138: Heading North
After saying this, Min Yushi and Wei Bin's faces changed greatly, only Dingguo Gong, full of appreciation, nodded at the indignant Zilong with a smile, and when Zilong finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Then if we don't hand over the horse gang leader, can it be beneficial to this war?" After all, we are already quite difficult to deal with the Tartars now, and if the Gang has been harassing our rear, we will indeed be very uncomfortable!"
"Nalan Xiong, the Nine Heavenly King of the Heavenly King Sect, I killed him!" Zilong's words were not shocking, and when these words came out, they were shocked that Min Yushi and Wei Bin both expressions changed greatly, and their eyes were also full of chill when they looked at Zilong.
Zilong didn't care about it, and said: "So there is a wrong, a debtor, and the enemy that the Heavenly King is looking for is me!"
"Zilong ......" Ma Fengyue was moved when she saw Zilong like this, and was about to speak, but Zilong shook her head without a trace, holding her words in her stomach.
Ding Guogong frowned when he heard this, and said, "Huh, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that you are willing to replace Ma Fengyue and go to the Heavenly King Sect to appease their anger?" Speaking of this, Ding Guogong was slightly disappointed, he saw Zilong say so much, and thought that Zilong would have some amazing remarks, but he didn't expect that he was just replacing him.
Zilong shook his head and said: "Where can I be so stupid! The Heavenly King Faction is just some grass cowards, but they are vainly trying to threaten my Ming Dynasty, I use the military position of Ningxia Pingqiang Fort Garrison, I ask the Guogong for my life, please allow me to go north to the Hetao, find out the movements of the Ming King Faction, and get rid of this scourge for my Ming Dynasty!"
"Oh?" Ding Guogong was surprised when he heard what Zilong said, and said, "The Heavenly King Sect has tens of thousands of people, even if it is collected by the imperial army, it will take a lot of effort, how are you going to deal with it?" Ding Guogong looked at Zilong and asked with a smile.
"Although the Heavenly King Faction is powerful, now most of the men and horses have left the Hetao and are going to Ningxia to fight! The old nest must be empty! As long as my men and horses can sneak into the Hetao, and then take advantage of the emptiness of the Heavenly King faction, I will directly destroy him! When the time comes, the old nest will be overturned, and the army of the Heavenly King faction in Ningxia will definitely be terrified. As long as the prince seizes the opportunity, he will definitely be able to capture it in one battle!" Zilong said eloquently.
After listening to this, Ding Guogong was noncommittal. But Min Yushi said loudly: "Hehe! You kid is really crazy, how can you exterminate the Heavenly King Sect with thousands of men and horses? All this is just your imagination!"
When Zilong was about to answer, Dingguo Gong interrupted: "Okay, Lord Min! Since he is sure, then you might as well let him try! After all, my Ming Dynasty has not been humiliated enough to make peace with the Taokou." ”
"However, Dingguo Gong! Liu Gong has been ordered by the emperor to make peace with the Heavenly King faction, and he can't destroy it at will, so this time he wants to go to the bottom of the kettle to draw a salary, it's not impossible, but he can't go in an official capacity!" It was Min Yushi who spoke, he was stunned by Zilong's words, and he was disgraced.
"Yes, although what you say is reasonable, but the peace talks cannot be destroyed, if because of your actions, the peace talks are delayed, and the imperial court suffers any losses, what should we do?" Wei Bin also echoed.
"I'll limit it to one month, if I don't destroy the Heavenly King Sect in January, I'll let it be disposed of!" Zilong said loudly.
"Why don't you go as an official and destroy the Heavenly King Sect in January?" asked Dingguo Gong when he heard this. It's not that he doesn't allow Zilong to go as an official, but after all, Min Yushi's face is also to be given, and if Zilong goes as an official, he can't mobilize Jiang Yunsong and other subordinates.
Ma Fengyue heard that Zilong was so assured, and couldn't help but be in a hurry, and kept pulling Zilong's sleeve, signaling that he couldn't agree. King An also said out loud at this time: "Zilong, you are weak, even if you have the Fengyue Gang, how can you destroy the bandits who have tens of thousands of soldiers?" Zilong, you still have to think twice!"
"Don't worry, the prince! I'll take the order!" Zilong said directly and unexpectedly, "The Heavenly King Sect is a disaster for Hetao and Ningxia, and I have long wanted to get rid of it! If I can't destroy the Heavenly King Sect within a month, I, Xu Zilong, will come to see me!"
"Okay!" Although Dingguo Gong didn't know where Zilong's confidence came from, he admired Zilong's neat momentum, and immediately said, "Then I'll give you two months! I will arrange for the court to delay the peace talks with the Heavenly King Faction, and within two months, Ma Fengyue will be fine! But if the Heavenly King Sect's nest is not destroyed within two months, I must hand over Ma Fengyue, do you think it's okay?"
"The women are willing!" Ma Fengyue saw that Zilong was so brave for herself, and she was moved at the moment, and she also agreed.
"That's good! In that case, I'm in charge, Ma Fengyue, you will stay in our army for protection, Xu Zilong, you will go north as soon as possible, go and find a way to destroy the Heavenly King faction, and raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty! But you must remember that from now on, you will no longer be the commander of the Guards Department of the Anwang Mansion, nor the garrison of Pingqiang Fort in Ningxia Town, you are just a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and your border soldiers can't mobilize a single penny, do you understand?" Ding Guogong looked at Zilong's eyes and said slowly.
"Caomin understands!" Zilong heard that his official position was swept to the end, but he was not the slightest dissatisfied, so he simply took off his military uniform directly, folded his hands, and handed it back to King An.
King An sighed heavily, took the military uniform, and moved his mouth up and down for a long time, but he didn't say anything after all.
Dingguo Gong made such a decision, Min Yushi and Wei Bin had to agree, in their hearts, Zilong went to deal with the Heavenly King faction by himself, it was just a move to send him to death, since this kid is looking for death, then fulfill him!
Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, the Duke of Dingguo immediately said: "Xu Zilong, you should step down first! I guarantee with the title of Duke of Dingguo, within two months, no one will be able to move Ma Fengyue!"
"Thank you Guogong!" Zilong said with a sincere salute to Dingguo Gong. If it weren't for Dingguo Gong this time, I was afraid that Min Yushi and Wei Bin would have to find a reason to clean themselves up directly, even if they said it well, it would be like this. At that moment, Zilong glanced back at Ma Fengyue and whispered: "Mother, you have been wronged for two months, I will go back!"
"Zilong!" Ma Fengyue had already tears in her eyes at this time, grabbed Zilong's hand, and said: "I'm going to Hetao to investigate intelligence, don't be reckless, if you can't find a chance to start, you can't destroy the Heavenly King Faction, my mother won't blame you! As long as you are safe!"
"Mother, don't worry, I know what to do!" Zilong smiled lightly, patted Ma Fengyue's hand, and then said to King An: "Lord, these days, I have been in the palace, thanks to your care, but now I can no longer serve you by your side, I hope the prince takes care!"
"Hey!" King An was also extremely reluctant to let Zilong, but now Zilong is also difficult to ride a tiger, and at that moment King An sighed heavily and said, "You go and do it well, everything in the rear has me!"
"Okay!" Zilong nodded with a smile and strode out of the Chinese army's tent. Ding Guogong looked at Zilong's back, full of approval.
After Zilong got out of the big tent of the Chinese army, he came directly to the camp of King An. Along the way, although Zilong was wearing a white middle coat, no one stopped him.
When I arrived at King De'an's big tent, I found that Wan'er, He Jin and others were there, and it was Na Yi Dalong, who was also here at this time. When Wan'er saw Zilong coming in like this, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, and said, "Brother Zilong, what's wrong with you?"
"I no longer have the official body of Daming!" Zilong smiled and said. Then he slowly told the matter of the Chinese army's big tent.
When He Jin and Yi Dalong heard Zilong's words, they were all angry, and they only felt that Ding Guogong and others were too deceitful. Wan'er listened quietly, and then said, "What is Brother Zilong going to do now?"
"Go to the Hetao and have a look!" Zilong smiled lightly and said, "My Ming Dynasty dominated the Hetao twenty years ago, even if it is no longer powerful, but there may be people who are interested in the Ming Dynasty on the Hetao! As long as I can find out the details of the Heavenly King Sect, it is not impossible to destroy the Heavenly King Sect!"
"Then I'll go with you!" Wan'er also said with a smile, "I know some Mongolian, and following you to the Hetao will at least save you a lot of trouble, okay?"
"How can this work?" Zilong shook his head and said, "Hetao is a place outside the fortress, Wan'er, you are the daughter of the palace, how can you suffer that hardship?"
"Okay! What a thousand dollars are not a thousand dollars!" Wan'er said angrily, "This matter is a big matter, not only for you, but also for the imperial court, and it is not a small matter! If we can get rid of the trouble of the Hetao, the Mongolian tribes will have no place to stay in the south, and it will be good news for the people on the border! I am here, not all because of you!"
A lot of Zilong's knowledge was taught by Wan'er. This debate is naturally not Wan'er's opponent. At this time, Wan'er said this, and Zilong couldn't refute it for a while. At the moment, I could only nod my head, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Seeing that Zilong agreed to Wan'er to go, He Jin couldn't help but say: "The Heavenly King has sent a lot of people, why don't I also follow Brother Zilong, let's go together!"
Yi Dalong was also ready to follow He Jin's example, and asked to go with Zilong, but unexpectedly Zilong said: "Okay, I'm coming back, not to bring you together! I'm going to Hetao, it's really to investigate intelligence, and if there are too many people, it's not beautiful! Just let me go with Wan'er, it's okay! Brother He, the prince has just offended Liu Jin, and I am afraid that Liu Jin will retaliate, you should pay more attention and don't leave the prince lightly!"
When He Jin heard this, he had to nod helplessly. Zilong said to Yi Dalong again: "Brother Dalong, although we have only known each other for a few hours, we are both brothers of the Fengyue Gang, but I need you to do me a favor!"
"Childe, please speak, even if I am asked to go to the soup, I will not give up!" Yi Dalong said excitedly. Zilong was able to destroy the Heavenly King Sect alone for Ma Fengyue, but in Yi Dalong's mind, Zilong's status was already equivalent to Ma Fengyue, and he was so excited when he heard Zilong's request.
"It's not so serious!" Zilong waved his hand and said, "I have two official bodies, and now they are gone!" But I have two thousand subordinates, who were originally influenced by mountain bandits. They are all poor people, and it is not easy, and I don't want them to have any misunderstanding! When you go back, find them and tell them about me, so that they can obey King An's orders and not worry about me!"
"I'll definitely bring Childe's words here!" Yi Dalong said with his fists clenched. Zilong is talking about Jiang Yunsong's men and horses, although there are only 2,000 people in this wave, but they are all transferred by mountain bandits with a knife edge, and their combat effectiveness is amazing.
Jiang Yunsong surrendered because of Zilong's most part. If Zilong is not there, Jiang Yunsong is afraid that he will not be able to keep to himself, so Zilong said this, hoping that Jiang Yunsong can be stable and obey King An's orders and not cause trouble.
Seeing that everything was explained, Zilong said to Wan'er: "Since Miss Wan'er, you are willing to accompany me to the north, then go and prepare quickly! We will set off for the north early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay!" Wan'er nodded and walked out with a smile. Zilong also answered his tent directly, and after cleaning up a little, he brought his clothes, money, and weapons, and then went to sleep directly.
