"Who are the generals of the four towns?"

Chongzhen was so angry that Yu Wan could hear his gritting teeth from afar.

The deputy general pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that it was Huang Degong, General of Luzhou, General of Xuzhou, General of Sizhou, Liu Liangzuo, General of Huai'an, General of Liu Zeqing, General of Jiangbei, and General of Jiangbei!"

"It's indeed these four traitors!"

Chongzhen clenched his fists with a blue face, but Yu Laosan next to him was not interested in these things. All he thought about was how much it would cost to rebuild the house.

Yu Wan coughed and said, "That's all, it's just a robbery of the ship. Why do you want to behead all the males!"

Speaking of this, the general rolled down cold sweat and quickly kowtowed and shouted, "This matter was done by Li Changdong. He wanted to take the heads of these villagers, and lied that it was from the Dashun Peasant Army in order to kill... good... and take the merits!"

"You guys have such a vicious heart!"

As soon as these words came out, even Princess Lingxiang, who had been silent, was furious.

"How to deal with him?"

Yu Wan pointed to the deputy general who was kneeling on the ground and said to Chongzhen.

"kill."

Chongzhen was so shady that he didn't say anything else. After receiving the instructions, Xu Hu smiled, regardless of how the general kowtowed and begged for mercy, dragged him to a corner where no one saw him and took the axe down, and cut him into two pieces!

After cooking these things, Yu Wan gave Yu Laosan some silver coins. He never thought that the father-in-law refused to accept it, but just asked a condition: he asked Yu Wan to take his granddaughter Yu You with him.

After all, no one can guarantee whether the thief who was killed will make a comeback. Moreover, Yu You is so young and beautiful, she will definitely attract covetousness from others in the future. Yu Laosan knows that he is not able to protect her, so it is better to let his granddaughter leave with Yu Wan, which is relatively safer.

It is not difficult to bring Yu You with you, and the emperor and the princess also need people to serve him. After obtaining Chongzhen's consent, Yu Wan happily agreed to Yu Laosan's request, but he had to give a lot of silver.

The matter of Yuzhuang came to an end. Everyone had enough food and drinks. After they were packed up, they borrowed two boats from the fishermen, one for the horses and the other for the ride.

"The Huaihe River in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was much wider than that in later generations."

Looking at the vast and turbulent river water, Yu Wan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

As long as you cross the Huai River and walk for another three or four days, you will reach Nanjing City. However, now the new emperor has been established, disrupting all his plans. Everything will be planned after you arrive in Nanjing.

"Brother Yu! Brother Feng! Brother Xu! Wait for me!"

Just as they were about to drive the boat, a figure ran over from the village.

"It seems to be Brother Hao!"

Yu You deserves to be a fisherman with a sharp look. He recognizes the person who is Yu Hao at first sight.

‘What are you doing here?’ When Yu Wanzheng was puzzled, Yu Hao had already jumped onto their boat.

"Dear brothers, where are you going? Can you bring me?"

Yu Hao unloaded his burden and laughed at everyone.

"Brother Hao, you have left with us, what should my family do?"

Feng Dai has a good impression of Yu Hao. He dares to fight and kill, and has the courage to take responsibility. He is a worthy person.

Yu Hao put away his smile and said seriously, "The battle tonight will really open my eyes. Good men should protect the country and the people, make a name for themselves, resist foreign humiliation, and go on the battlefield! How can you fish and dry the net for the rest of your life, spend your time, and follow you to do a big career. My parents are so happy!"

After hearing his words, Chongzhen nodded deeply, "The little fisherman can understand that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. This responsibility is much better than the important officials of the court who live in the temple all day long."

After a while, his eyes suddenly became a little deeper, "But, following us, you will have any worries about your life at any time, are you willing?"

Just as he was about to answer, Yu Wan said seriously, "Yu Hao, do you know who the person you are talking to?"

"Who is it?" Yu Hao looked at Yu You blankly, but it was obvious that the latter did not know Chongzhen's true identity.

Yu Wanxian pointed to Ling Xiang, "This is Princess Ling Xiang of the Ming Dynasty."

Then he looked at Chongzhen and said, "This is the current emperor Chongzhen!"

Princess...Emperor...

Yu Hao and Yu You both widened their mouths. They knew that these people were not ordinary people, but no matter what, they never thought that they were Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and their confidants!

Moreover, isn’t the rumor that Chongzhen had been killed by Li Zicheng in Yangu? Why is he still alive now?

Yu Wan saw his doubts and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter. Finally, he showed the Dragon Soul Sword given by Emperor Chongzhen, and they finally accepted this fact.

Although it took a lot of verbal use, Yu Wan believed that Yu Hao was worthy of reusing. This guy is not only of a good character and very responsible, but also familiar with the water nature. He is very familiar with the terrain of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, and will sooner or later come in handy.

After telling these things, Yu Hao and Yu You did not disappoint Yu Wan. They immediately expressed their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen!

Speaking of this, I didn’t say much. After successfully crossing the Huai River, I entered the actual control range of the Southern Ming Dynasty - Jiangbei.

The Zhejiang-Anhui area has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the people are outstanding. It is the turn of spring and summer, with abundant plants and greenery. Seeing this beautiful scenery, even Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious, could not help but feel relaxed and intoxicated.

But Yu Wan was not so free and comfortable. He rarely took a break from his busy schedule. Naturally, he had to study the two "Heavenly Books" of "Chang's Gunsmanship" and "Hundred Battles and Strategy" hard.

The Chang's marksmanship is relatively easy to get started. After a few days, he has achieved some success in the second move. Although he still failed to shake out the gun flower, he has already taken shape. It is not so easy to understand the magical strategy of a hundred battles. The more profound and mysterious the strategy is, the more it is. Yu Wan has worked hard to learn the tenth battle, and there are still ninety tactics waiting for him to master!

In addition to studying gun techniques hard, Yu Wan also asked Feng Dai and Xu Hu for advice on sword techniques and axes. Although he used to using long spears, he also wanted to learn more other weapons. As the saying goes, skills are not enough to suppress one's body.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Under Yu Hao's guidance, everyone rode horses and boats on a flat road, and soon took a bamboo raft while night time to Jinling Bay, the confluence of the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River.

It is only a short distance from Yingtian Mansion!

In the night, Nanjing is decorated with lights and joy everywhere, and the festive atmosphere of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascends the throne everywhere.

Looking at the Yangtze River spreading with merchant ships and the Qinhuai River singing and dancing, it makes people feel like they are in a peaceful and prosperous era of singing and dancing: on the river bank, in the flower boat, the rich children who recite poems, the graceful girl who accompany the wine, the endless rare fruits, and the endless delicious wine and food that are all poured into the Qinhuai River... The spirit of indulgence indulgence in everyone's body.

The world is rich and has no place to go out of the south of the Yangtze River. Although all the kings are kings, Chongzhen is more like a beggar who goes to the city to beg for food. Yu Wan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Princess, it's so beautiful here!" Yu You pointed to the flower boats on the Qinhuai River.

Before Ling Xiang could comment, Xu Hu suddenly said, "What's so beautiful? It's exposed both the butt and the thighs. These girls are not afraid of being frozen!"

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't match Xu Hu's slutty comment. After looking at the situation on the shore, Yu Wan quickly said to the people who were smiling and angry, "The patrol team guarding the city is here!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, more than a dozen people in Ming army uniforms came over.

"Where did you come from? What business do you do? Have you paid the docking tax?"

The leader is six feet tall and has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a saber in his hand and looking at him with a slanted eye, looking extremely arrogant and domineering.

The other soldiers jumped onto the boat in a familiar way and carefully checked what the bamboo raft was carrying.

Yu Wan glanced at Chongzhen and received the latter's reply. He took out the Dragon Soul Sword from behind and shouted in a deep voice, "Random, you don't know if the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has arrived?"

This shout scared all the soldiers. The leading non-commissioned officer took the Dragon Soul Sword with a stuttering look at Chongzhen from top to bottom. It's true that it's a bit similar to Zhu Youjian in the portrait. But wasn't Chongzhen already killed by the bomb? Why did he suddenly come back to life?

The non-commissioned officer walked up the embankment, paced back and forth for a moment and said, "This matter is important, please wait here. Rong Xiaoren will report to Shangguan first! Brothers, withdraw!"

After talking, the group of people was as if they had received amnesty and rushed back to Nanjing to report.

———

"Why haven't you come yet! I'm freezing to death!"

By the riverside, the wind was strong at night, and Feng Dai couldn't stop holding his hands and paced back and forth.

"Your Majesty, more than an hour has passed." Yu Wan looked up at the moon, obviously also a little impatient to wait.

Chongzhen tightened his cloak on his body, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "Things are not right! Go away quickly!"

"Let's go? Haven't you wait for King Fu to come out to greet him? Should we go into Yingtian Mansion by ourselves?"

Xu Hu was confused and wanted to ask again, but Yu Wan pulled him onto the horse's back and ran west in a hurry.

"I said Brother Yu, we went in the wrong direction. Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture is in the east!"

...

After one stick of incense, thousands of sharp arrows resounded through the sky, cutting through the night sky, shooting the bamboo raft they had previously ridden into a lot of holes, and soon sank to the bottom of the river. Among the arrows, you could vaguely hear someone shouting, "Why do you dare to pretend to be my Sizong Chongzhen emperor, you deserve thousands of sins and kill you without mercy!"

"A traitor, a traitor!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was running away, was furious and vomited blood on the sky, fainting under the horse!
