Chapter 409: Hold on
The three of them got closer, and from a distance, they saw that many officers and soldiers were kneeling down to Zilong to plead guilty, and Zilong even asked Qian Ning to go and treat his injuries.
At this moment, Qian Ning also wished that the real Zhengde would continue to hide and not be known by others, so that this beggar kid would continue to take the identity for Zhengde and take risks.
At that moment, he also took out the posture of serving Zhengde, and rushed to Zilong's side at a trot, bent his waist, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Qian Ning is late to save the car, please forgive Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay! I just took a knife from the Song Demon King, and I don't know what happened to the wound, you hurry up and show me it, and give me medicine by the way!"
Qian Ning has to play a good role at the moment and make others believe that the person in front of him is Emperor Zhengde.
Therefore, Zilong ordered him like this, and he was not annoyed at all, but walked behind Zilong, gently tore the blood-covered clothes behind Zilong, and went to check Zilong's injuries.
At that moment, Zilong said to these soldiers led by Xia Jiang: "Okay, don't kneel, I don't blame you! Xia Jiang, you go and call the other soldiers back, and then clean up here, and then follow me to the dock fort in Yujiazhuang!"
Xia Jiang and the others got Zilong's forgiveness, so they naturally stood up, those soldiers continued to protect Zilong, and another officer with fast legs and feet was sent to find President Liu surnamed Qian, to convey Zilong's "holy will", but Xia Jiang couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, now that you have repelled the mountain bandits, why don't you just return to Baoding?" Baoding has countless soldiers and horses, so naturally you can protect Your Majesty from harm, stay in this small Yujiazhuang Wubao, if the mountain bandits go and return, but what can they do?"
If Zilong is really Emperor Zhengde, then Xia Jiang's suggestion is indeed the safest suggestion.
With Zilong's temperament, he will definitely agree to Xia Jiang's suggestion, return to Baoding, and not continue to mess around like Zhengde.
But Zilong is only Zilong after all, he is not the emperor, and the real target of the Sun and Moon God Sect is not him.
Zilong faintly guessed that these people from the Sun Moon God Sect would not give up so easily since they had already set out to kill Emperor Zhengde.
This time, although he killed the Song Demon King, he repelled one of their attacks. But the Sun Moon God Cult said that it would definitely attack again immediately!
If you listen to Xia Jiang's advice, when the sky is still dark, and you rush on the road, it is very likely that you will be ambushed by the Sun Moon God Sect.
When the time comes, these officers and soldiers will be in danger!
The safest way is actually to retreat to Jiazhuang Dock Fort and continue to send people to find reinforcements by the way.
After dawn, when the reinforcements arrived, he asked Qian Ning to take Zhengde and withdraw to the capital with these large groups of officers and troops.
"Xia Jiang, I know your thoughts!" Zilong couldn't help but explain, "If it's too late today, since these thieves dare to assassinate me, they will definitely not give up easily." If you go to Baoding at night and are ambushed along the way, I'm afraid that you and I will be in danger!"
"For the sake of Your Majesty, the ministers will not avoid hardships and dangers!" Xia Jiang said earnestly.
"Although your loyalty is commendable, I can't risk your lives!" Zilong waved his hand and said, "That's it! You continue to transfer nearby officers and soldiers here, I believe that when the officers and troops form a certain number, these rebellious ministers and thieves will not dare to fight me again!"
"But ......" Xia Jiang was ready to persuade again.
Unexpectedly, Zilong directly interrupted and said: "What's more, if you can't assassinate me, these bandits are likely to spill their anger on the innocent people of Yujiazhuang! If I take you away, I'm afraid that this Yujiazhuang won't see the sun tomorrow!"
This is the real reason why Zilong is reluctant to leave!
It's just that this kind of talk is very different from Zhengde's character, and if you are familiar with Zhengde, you will be suspicious.
Everyone present, except for Qian Ning and others, met "Zhengde" for the first time, so naturally they didn't know what kind of temperament His Majesty the emperor was.
And even Qian Ning, the guards who accompanied Zhengde all the way south, have not yet figured out the character of this majesty.
Therefore, Zilong said this, and the officials and soldiers including Xia Jiang only thought that their emperor was a good emperor who loved the people like a son, and they originally wanted to persuade His Majesty to leave this place, but they all held it in their hearts.
Xia Jiang blushed even more, and said with a look of shame: "Your Majesty still loves the people like a son, and the ministers are ashamed!"
"Okay! It doesn't have to be like this, hurry up and follow my wishes and go to gather the rescue troops!" Zilong couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that these people hadn't discovered the subtle problem, and slowly understood that it was the reason why these people hadn't seen the emperor, and he was immediately relieved.
Hearing the "Holy Will", when Xia Jiangzhen was about to act on orders, Qian Ning suddenly exclaimed.
Shangshan Muzi and Ren Bufan had been staying outside for a long time, and when they heard Qian Ning screaming, they thought that Zilong's injuries were serious.
At the moment, both of them raised their bodies and jumped in at once!
"What's wrong, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" Although Ren Bufan looked worried, he didn't say anything wrong, he just came to Zilong's side, and couldn't help but want to stretch his head to check the injury on Zilong's back.
Shangshan Muzi is also a general mind, and he also leaned over to look at it.
Those officers and soldiers didn't know what the identities of these two people were, seeing these two people so skillful, rushing into the side of this benevolent majesty, these officers and soldiers all spontaneously shouted, the swords were unsheathed, the bows and crossbows were wound, aimed at the two of them, and one of the generals even shouted: "Protect Your Majesty!"
If it is said that at the beginning, the official army just wanted to rescue His Majesty the Emperor in exchange for a reward.
Then the current officers and soldiers are all from the bottom of their hearts and respect this young man!
After all, if you can be seriously injured, you still want to rule the safety of the people, instead of returning to the city and protecting yourself, such a person, let alone the emperor, even if it is an official, there are few such people.
These officers and soldiers are originally from poor backgrounds and extremely simple, and when they see such a majesty at this time, they don't even take out their hearts.
No matter how strong Ren Bufan and Shangshan Muzi were, they all wanted to rush up one by one.
Fortunately, Zilong also reacted quickly, and immediately said: "Don't be impulsive, these two people are my guards, just worried about me!
At this time, Zilong can be said to be following his words, and as soon as he said it, the officers and soldiers who were still murderous all collected their swords, turned around, and continued to guard Zilong's side.
The one always confessed his guilt before he pressed the knife again.
Ren Bufan saw that this official army had achieved such a point, and couldn't help but be a little surprised and whispered to Zilong: "I really didn't expect that you, a fake emperor, could make the officials and soldiers so heartfelt, I think if you are a real emperor, I am afraid that it will be a blessing to the world!"
After the rumors were over, Ren Bufan didn't wait for Zilong to respond, just looked at Qian Ning.
At this time, Qian Ning also reacted, smiled awkwardly, and said to Ren Bufan and the others: "The two of you come to take a look and know that the wound behind Your Majesty's back has healed! And at this rate, I'm afraid that tomorrow morning, I won't be able to see the wound!"
"How is it possible?" How much destructive power was the Song Demon King's knife just now, even if Ren Bufan stood at the head of the dock fort wall, he could feel one or two.
He thought to himself that he had taken the knife of the Song Demon King like this, but he was afraid that he would also suffer a lot of injuries.
But now Qian Ning said that Zilong's wound has healed, and tomorrow morning, he will not be able to see the wound at all, which can only show that Zilong is not afraid of Song Demon King's knife at all, but how is this possible.
At that moment, Ren Bufan and Shangshan Muzi looked over curiously, and sure enough, they found that behind Zilong, near his waist, there was a scar like a centipede, lying on Zilong's back.
Looking at the scars of this knife, Ren Bufan can see that this knife is obviously going to cut Zilong in half!
It's a little more serious than his previous guess.
In that case, why are Zilong's wounds already scabbed, and it seems like a long time has passed?
Ren Bufan couldn't help but look at Zilong curiously, obviously expecting Zilong to give him an answer.
And Shangshan Muzi looked at Zilong's scar, and then thought of the scene when Zilong killed the Song Demon King just now, and gradually became more and more sure that the person in front of him was not Emperor Zhengde at all, nor was he a beggar disciple, but the right protector of the Tianyin Sect Long Mo that he knew.
Although I don't know why Long Mo refused to explain his identity, Shangshan Muzi was not ready to disobey Long Mo's intentions, so he had to bury this question in his heart, and when he found free time, he would ask Long Mo again!
Although Zilong also wondered about his situation, first, he knew that now was not the time to pay attention to this, and secondly, he didn't want to talk about it in public.
I had to give Ren Bufan, who was puzzled, a look, and then said: "Since my injuries are not serious, it is better, pass on my order, and after cleaning up the battlefield outside, the whole army will quickly withdraw to the dock fort in Yujiazhuang! Send more envoys to find reinforcements nearby, and be sure to rush here after dawn!"
"Order!" Xia Jiang was still worried about His Majesty's injury, but after listening to Qian Ning's words at this moment, he couldn't help but be extremely happy after knowing that His Majesty was completely fine.
Immediately, Xia Jiang sent an order to let the general just now take more than 100 soldiers to escort "Zhengde" back to Yujiazhuang Wubao.
However, he himself conveyed other orders of "Zhengde", and the entire official army began to operate slowly and methodically in accordance with the orders of "Zhengde".
When Zilong came to the gate of the dock fort in Yujiazhuang with a vote of officers and soldiers, the chief of the security guard and Yu Baoguo had already led a group of villagers to kneel in the snow on the side of the gate.
Seeing Zilong and others arriving from afar, these villagers are all under the leadership of Bao Chang and Yu Baoguo, and the mountains are shouting long live.
"No courtesy!" Zilong doesn't like others to kneel to him the most, but he is playing the role of Emperor Zhengde at the moment, and accepting the people's bowing is the right thing to do. At that moment, he had to help him from afar, so he said.
Unexpectedly, the chief didn't listen to the order, but continued to crawl on the snow, and said tremblingly: "Little Lao'er didn't know that Your Majesty was here before, and he was quite offended, so please ask Your Majesty Haihan!"
"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, Yu Baoguo, quickly take the big guy and get up together! It's freezing this day, how inconvenient it is to kneel!" Zilong thought of these people around him, who didn't understand the temperament of the real Emperor Zhengde, and couldn't help but say like this.
That Yu Baoguo originally heard that Huang Houzhao and Huang Gongzi, who he had rescued, was when Emperor Zhengde was today, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
He was also worried that he had called His Majesty the Emperor brother and brother before, which would make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy, so he took his father and a group of villagers and lay on the ground and did not dare to get up.
At this time, after listening to Zilong's words, although he called himself Yu Baoguo, he didn't care at all, but instead kowtowed heavily as if he had been pardoned, and then thanked him and said: "The grass people thank Your Majesty!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Baoguo supported the chief of the security guard, who was a little weak-legged, and stood up with the villagers.
After a polite exchange between the two sides, Zilong took the lead in entering the dock fort.
Officers and soldiers and others rushed in.
After entering the dock fort, Zilong ordered the officers and soldiers to work hard, check the defense of the dock fort everywhere, and take over the defense of the dock fort from Zhuang Ding!
Yu Baoguo was naturally excited, and happily took Zhuang Ding to fight for the official army.
For a while, because of the arrival of the official army, this originally panicked Zhuangzi slowly calmed down.
After dealing with everything, Zilong took Ren Bufan and the others back to the chief's house.
This time there were twists and turns, and everyone was also exhausted.
Back in the courtyard of the chief guard's house, Qian Ning bowed to Zilong and Ren Bufan, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has to get out of trouble this time, and I thank the heroes of the beggar gang on behalf of Your Majesty!"
"Haha! As long as His Majesty the Emperor wakes up, he doesn't blame me for the crime of trespassing, that's fine!" Ren Bufan couldn't help but joke and said.
This pretending to be the emperor is indeed a felony of trespassing, and he should be punished by beheading according to the law.
But this time Zilong pretended to be Zhengde, but it was to save Zhengde's life, so it can't be generalized.
Qian Ning smiled awkwardly when he heard this, scratching the back of his head, but he didn't know how to answer.
His true identity is nothing more than a brocade guard.
Although the official position of Jinyi Wei is one level higher than that of the ordinary military household of the guard, he is also the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, which is extraordinary.
But in the imperial court, as well as His Majesty the Emperor, he is just a small role!
The matter of pretending to be the emperor is not a conviction, what he said is not counted, so he can only smile helplessly.
Zilong knew that Ren Bufan was just joking, so he immediately interrupted Qian Ning's embarrassment, and said with some heaviness: "Helper, Master Qian, if you all think that this crisis has passed, I'm afraid that the real crisis has just begun!"
"What?" Qian Ning thought that he was safe and sound now, but after listening to Zilong's words, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
Before, he thought that Zilong was just an ordinary disciple of the beggar gang, and he didn't take it seriously.
But watching the battle on the gatehouse, I found that this person's martial arts are not only extremely high, but also very good, at least he said a few words, and he attracted the officials and soldiers to their hearts, although it was because of the identity of the emperor, but it was also a manifestation of his extraordinary ability.
Now that this person is saying that the crisis has just begun, he is obviously not alarmist.
Although nearly 500 officers and troops arrived, Qian Ning still asked worriedly: "Where did the crisis come from?"
