Rumble!

Suddenly, a trembling sound came, followed by the guarding soldiers shouting loudly, and then the trembling sound gradually disappeared.

"General, the angel has arrived, please go out and receive the order." A guard ran in to report, interrupting Yu Zigao's idea of ​​entering the camp.

"Your Majesty's decree has arrived." Yu Zigao shouted happily, but then he became confused again, "This decree has come too fast." He only sent out the official document three days ago, and he was counting the time now.

, I just arrived in Beijing.

"You will know when you go out and take a look." Yu Zigao led a group of generals, arranged their clothes, and walked out of the camp gate.

At the gate of the camp, a eunuch in blue was standing with a scroll in his hand. He looked like he was a real angel. Since the ban on eunuchs was issued, all the eunuchs in the palace have uniformed the eunuch uniform of blue clothes. There is no such thing as the old eunuch.

A phenomenon in which crimson robes swarm.

A group of people came out of the camp gate very conspicuously. The green-robed eunuch saw it at a glance. He swung his skirt, held up the yellow thick scroll, and shouted in a high voice, "The imperial edict has arrived. Navy General Yu Zigao will receive it."

"Old minister Yu Zigao receives the order." Yu Zigao, who took the lead, immediately bent his knees and knelt down. The generals following him also knelt down with great cheers.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and he says:..."

A long list of imperial edicts was read out. The meaning of it was actually very simple, but it spared a few twists and turns. At first, it was said that Yu Zigao had failed to live up to his holy aspirations and had lost so many naval soldiers, but his hard work and merits were great.

, has been with the dragon for a long time, and ordered him to perform meritorious service and eliminate the banditry in the southeast. For convenience, he was specially appointed as the commander of the Jiangnan Theater to command the troops and horses of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian.

A series of methods of first suppressing and then raising, first beating and then reusing, made Yu Zigao's mood fluctuate and made him experience a variety of emotions. In the end, when he was appointed as the commander of the Jiangnan Station Theater, he only

What was left was gratitude to the emperor for not killing him.

"I am determined to live up to His Majesty's expectations and wipe out the banditry." Yu Zigao performed the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, then raised his hands high, received the imperial edict, and then kept it away. After he completed the task, he would also

Handed back.

"The general is so beloved by the Holy Heart and blessed by the Holy Family!" Shen Yourong said with a hint of flattery. His general had come full circle. In the end, not only did he not suffer any loss, but his authority was also expanded a lot. He was really blessed.

"No, your majesty took pity on me and gave me one more chance." Yu Zigao twisted his beard and smiled, his expression indifferent, but judging from his slightly twitching beard, it was obvious that he was very grateful.

"Okay, stop joking, let's go back together and treat the angel well. The angel has come from a long way, so he must be tired. After taking a rest, we will greet the angel and wash away the dust." Yu Zigao waved his hand and led his generals to welcome him.

Following the instructions, the eunuch walked inside.

However, he was bound to have a lot of things to do today, and within a few steps, another guard came to report, "Report to the general, there is a horseman outside the camp gate, claiming to be the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and wants to see the general."

"Commander of the Jinyi Guards? Luo Sigong? Why did he come to Jiangnan?" Yu Zigao muttered to himself, with endless doubts in his expression.

The eunuch in green who was walking beside him heard his words and took the initiative to explain, "General Yu, when we were in the palace, we watched your majesty handle government affairs. Your majesty sent Lord Luo to Jiangnan to arrest the rebels who colluded with the bandits.

I just didn’t expect that when our family arrived in Ningbo, Mr. Luo would also come with us.”

"That's it!" Yu Zigao suddenly realized, "Bring them in." He turned around and said to the guards.

"Yes!" The guard retreated, and after a while, seven knights were led in.

"General Yu." Luo Sigong smiled and cupped his fists in greeting.

"Commander Luo!" Yu Zigao returned the salute, "I wonder what the Commander has to say for coming here." He asked with a smile, "Could it be that His Majesty asked the Commander to come over and take charge of this intelligence investigation?"

Yu Zigao was just joking, but this is not without precedent. In the Korean Campaign of Wanli's Three Great Expeditions, Jinyiwei played a great role. This was a rare positive deed of Jinyiwei, and it was also what Luo Sigong was most proud of in his life.

Because he was the commander of the Jin Yiwei at that time.

Sure enough, when talking about this past event, Luo Sigong became happy. He laughed loudly and said, "Old man, old man, the past events are not worth mentioning. They are not worth mentioning. I went south this time to arrest people according to His Majesty's order.

of."

"Oh, who is he, worthy of Commander Luo's personal dispatch?" Yu Zigao said with a hint of flattery. It is better to maintain a certain respect for such an intelligence leader.

"Hey, in the entire Jiangnan area, who is worthy of your majesty's mobilization of troops like this!" Luo Sigong lowered his voice, "That person from the same family and two countries, Dongchang reported secretly that the other party has colluded with those bandits."

"I came to Ningbo this time because of this master. There are rumors in Nanjing that this master has imprisoned Xiong Mingyu, Minister of the Ministry of War. I'm afraid he has some objections." Luo Sigong opened his mouth and broke the shocking news.

"The Duke of Wei has rebelled." When Yu Zigao heard this, he immediately shouted, his expression full of disbelief. No wonder he was like this. In the minds of the Ming Dynasty, nobles who live with the country are the most unlikely people to betray.

, especially the Duke of Wei, who imitated the Mu family in Yunnan, guarded Nanjing for generations, and commanded the troops of South Zhili, so he was the least likely to rebel.

Yu Zigao screamed, shocking everyone else who heard it.

"How is this possible?" Shen Yourong said with a look of despair.

"Yes, how could the Duke of Wei rebel?" Qin Liangyu, who had always been calm, could no longer hold on.

"This is just a guess. Nanjing Jinyi Guard Qianhu Station has not contacted me for a long time. In addition, with such rumors, I have become a little worried about Nanjing, so I turned south and wanted to use General Yu's strength to inspect the South Zhili Guard Station.

Soldiers and horses, cut their wings, and then arrest them." Luo Sigong said his plan.

"I wonder if General Yu can help me." Luo Sigong cupped his fists and saluted.

"This..." Yu Zigao was a little hesitant. After all, the target was Wei Guogong, and the matter was of great importance. Moreover, he had not received the imperial decree to assist the Jin Yiwei in arresting the other party. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to get involved in this way. "Master Luo,

This matter needs to be considered in the long run. Wei Guogong is still guarding Nanjing. It is probably not appropriate for us military attachés to get involved. Since Mr. Luo has the holy will, he can act in accordance with the holy will and there is no need for our intervention."

Yu Zigao's euphemistic evasion disappointed Luo Sigong, but he still tried to persuade him, "General Yu, I don't want the general to be involved. Doesn't the general want to inspect the troops and horses in the three provinces and eliminate banditry? Since the troops and horses are inspected, then from the south

There is nothing wrong with starting from Zhili. Your Majesty must have not specified where the general should start."

"That's alright, I just want to give Commander Luo some face. I'll start checking the troops from South Zhili." For this reason, if Yu Zigao still doesn't agree, it means he has made it clear that he will not deal with Luo Sigong. , after thinking for a moment and realizing that this move was not harmful to him, he agreed and sold the other party a smooth favor.

"Haha, thank you General for your help. General, I will definitely bear in mind your great kindness. I will not dare or forget it." Seeing that Yu Zigao agreed, Luo Sigong was overjoyed. In the competition of intelligence, Jin Yiwei gradually fell behind. This time he came to the southeast to capture You must win the battle, otherwise if you make the emperor angry and want to deprive Dongchang of his power and treat Jin Yiwei like this, you will really be a sinner.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm just doing it casually," Yu Zigao said with a smile. He said it simply, but Luo Yangxing didn't take it seriously. Favors along the way are also favors and must be repaid.

"Wherever it is, if it is used by me in the future, the general can just speak." Luo Sigong said solemnly.

"Haha, Mr. Luo is exaggerating. Let's not talk about it anymore. This is the angel who came from the capital to deliver the message. I must have seen Mr. Luo. Let me go around and let me show my friendship as a landlord and entertain the next two of you." Yu Zigao was very happy to have sold a favor to the leader of the Jin Yiwei. He led the two distinguished guests to the interior of the military camp.

However, after walking a few steps, there was another messy shouting from behind.

"Who dares to break into the military camp without permission!"

"If you come, stop there. If you come any further, you'll be rude."

The sound of shouting and shouting indicated that someone seemed to be forcing their way into the military camp.

The noise was so loud that Yu Zigao stopped again. He turned around and angrily walked out of the camp gate.

What's going on today? I just want to enter the camp. Why do so many uninvited guests come one after another? It's just the two in front. I can't afford to offend you. I want to see what's going on with you, the third party. , dared to go straight to the military camp. If you can't tell me something, please stay with me today.

With resentment, Yu Zigao strode out. When the other guests saw this, they had to follow him. The host had already passed by. How could we guests have the nerve to stay behind?

Therefore, Yu Zigao took the lead, followed by a large group of people, and headed towards the camp gate again in a mighty manner.

However, when he arrived at the camp gate, what he saw was far beyond his expectation. He saw a man covered in blood falling to the ground, while his own guards were helping him up.

"What's going on? Is the blood on his body caused by you?" Yu Zigao asked with a frown. The situation at the scene was very strange. It only took him a dozen breaths to get here. What happened to this man? Maybe there was so much blood all at once.

"Reporting back to the general, this person had this blood when he came. He rushed to the camp gate and fell off his horse. The younger one saw that he was wearing the uniform of a royal guard and kept mumbling something for fear of delaying the matter. So I helped him up and planned to send him for treatment." The guard told the story clearly without being humble or overbearing.

"Jinyiwei clothing?" Without waiting for Yu Zigao's reaction, Luo Sigong stepped out with a surprised look on his face and stepped forward to check.

"Xu Xianchun?" After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Luo Sigong's expression changed drastically and he asked urgently, "Why are you here? What happened in Nanjing?"

"Sir, Master Luo, is that you?" Xu Xianchun opened his eyes weakly, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he shouted excitedly, "Sir, Xu Hongji colluded with Wang Siyuan, launched an army to rebel, and has now occupied Nanjing City.

"

The Duke of Wei rebelled!

This news was like thunder, exploding in everyone's minds.
