Under the night, the moonlight looks like a dancing beauty.
Jumping from one mountain top to another, spinning and dancing.
The Mianhe River, which is more than 200 miles long, passes through the mountains in the east from Shanxi Province, flows into Hebei Province, and merges into the Zhihe River.
Outside Tianchang Town, thirty miles west of Jingjing County, Zhendingfu, Hebei Province.
As the Jingshan Station in Hebei Province connects the Baijing Station in Shanxi Province, it is the last inhabited place in Hebei Province.
Except for a few locals in Tianchang Town, most of them are merchants who travel from east to west.
Taking this post road can lead directly to Taiyuan Fucheng.
The Mianhe River is neither long nor wide, and the water flow seems a bit fast when caught in the mountain stream.
It's just that it's early winter now, rainfall is sparse, water flow has become smaller, and the water potential is no longer impressive.
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly walked out of the darkness on the river bank and approached a lighted inn not far away.
There was a creaking sound under the boots, which made Zhu Yunwen frown a little solemnly.
You should change into a pair of cotton shoes.
He lowered his head and took advantage of the darkness to quickly return to the courtyard wall behind the inn.
Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the back door, his brows slightly furrowed. He didn't see any strange movement inside, so he stretched out his hand to open the door.
As soon as I walked into the backyard.
Zhu Yunwen immediately handed over his hand: "Mr. Liu hasn't gone to bed yet?"
Liu Zongsheng was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard. There was a pot of wine and two glasses full of wine on the table.
Zhu Yunwen looked around and saw no one else.
Obviously, Liu Zongsheng was waiting for him to drink.
He hid his uneasiness and stepped forward to sit opposite Liu Zongsheng.
Seeing Zhu Yunwen sitting down, Liu Zongsheng pushed a glass filled with wine in front of Zhu Yunwen.
A smile appeared on Liu Zongsheng's face: "Master Zhu has never fallen asleep at this time."
Did he discover something?
A trace of suspicion flashed in Zhu Yunwen's heart, and he also felt a little nervous.
But soon, Zhu Yunwen calmed down, and there was a bit of strange emotion on his face: "Tomorrow we will enter Shanxi Road. I thought about it and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so I went out and walked around."
Liu Zongsheng squinted his eyes and picked up the wine glass after a while: "It's human nature, but the great cause has not yet been accomplished. I hope Mr. Zhu will be less indecisive and affectionate."
After saying that, Liu Zongsheng raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhu Yunwen felt contempt in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he held up the wine glass with both hands: "I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Liu."
The two drank a glass of wine.
Liu Zongsheng looked at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Master Zhu may not know something."
"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Liu is talking about?"
Liu Zongsheng smiled slightly: "Actually, I was supposed to be in Henan today. It's just that I didn't want to get married with Mr. Zhu, so I came to Shanxi early."
Did you fucking mean that?
That's fucking kidnapping! That's kidnapping!
Zhu Yunwen greeted Liu Zongsheng cordially in his heart, and his face became more and more curious: "Henan Road? I heard that something happened on Henan Road recently. What is it about, sir?"
"Yes and no." Liu Zongsheng nodded mysteriously, but then shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty wanted to regulate the river, and it said it must make the Yellow River safe. Since they are so determined, regardless of the cost of money and food, we are just helping
, so that the world can see that the Ming Dynasty really did not care about money or food when it came to river management."
What happened on the river was indeed the work of these rebels!
Liu Zongsheng finally verified the suspicion he had had in his mind for many days in front of him.
Zhu Yunwen's face showed a touch of reverence: "Sir, this is a big deal! This move has already cost the court millions of money and food, not to mention it will trigger a fight within the court."
Liu Zongsheng was also in a happy mood.
He felt extremely happy when he thought that the dams and dams built by the imperial court, which had spent countless money, food and manpower, were easily destroyed by him.
Mingting should be asked to do this useless work.
And he couldn't help but sigh: "The Central Plains is going to be in chaos! Only when the Central Plains is in chaos, will the world really be in chaos together!"
Zhu Yunwen turned his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Sir, it's not just this one thing. If you want the Central Plains to be chaotic, you must have arranged several things long ago."
Liu Zongsheng showed a proud smile on his face and said confidently: "It is like this. Life is chaotic. Only when the people in Henan Road are in chaos, the Central Plains will be the real chaos. Now, probably only after we enter Taiyuan City, the news will be
Passed over."
"Then I'll lend you sir's wine and wish him great success!"
Zhu Yunwen's face was filled with a flattering smile, but his heart was a little more solemn.
The third child is in Henan Road now.
If this Liu thief's handiwork were to come true, Henan Road would be in chaos.
The third child will definitely have to face countless troubles again.
What should be done at this time?
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of Zhu Yunxi, who was now in Henan Province, and deduce what he would do there.
Troops and horses must be mobilized.
Henan Province's Sansi Yamen and local government officials were all replaced only this year, so there is no need to worry about this.
As long as you have soldiers and horses in your hands, you can stabilize everything.
But when chaos arises, it will take a lot of time just to pacify Henan Road.
The third child will probably be delayed in Henan Province this winter.
Involuntarily, Zhu Yunwen's pupils shrank.
He looked calmly at Liu Zongsheng, who was pouring a drink in front of him.
Could it be that this gang of rebels just wanted to drag the third child to Henan Road?
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but have such an idea.
Third child, don’t make any mistakes!
Zhu Yunwen muttered silently in his heart.
…
Henan Road.
Fudi Town, Yanshi County under the rule of Henan Prefecture.
This is the same night.
The land of the Central Plains, the origin of Yan and Huang.
Just like every night for thousands of years, people live a life of sunrise and sunrise.
Anle Village, located next to the Songshan Shaolin Temple, is shrouded in mist.
There is always so much mystery and danger in the mountains at night.
The autumn harvest has been completed long ago in the mountains, and the crops grown in the few fields in the mountains have been collected into the village's granary early.
The people in Anle Village had been working in the quarry for a day, and by this time most people had already rested.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Some people still have some energy.
He also vented his anger on his mother-in-law's belly early and fell asleep with heavy snoring.
Several dark shadows entered Anle Village from the back mountain and arrived in front of the ancestral hall.
The figure left from the main entrance of the ancestral hall.
The leader was none other than Li Zhicheng from Anle Village.
The group entered the ancestral hall and went to the room at the back.
Li Youfu, the patriarch of Anle Village, who usually fell asleep early in the morning, was waiting in the house accompanied by Li Sanshi.
When Li Zhicheng brought the people in, Li Youfu immediately raised his head and looked at the people brought in by Li Zhicheng.
"My old mother has no life, my hometown is empty."
The leader made gestures with both hands and gestured towards Li Youfu.
Li Zhicheng did as he was told and guided Li Youfu to shout together: "I have no birth, my mother is a vacuum, my hometown is empty."
These people are real rebels!
The slogans of the White Lotus Sect were still echoing in Li Youfu's mind. Even though he had been prepared, he was still filled with shock.
Li Zhicheng smiled and said: "Uncle, this is Young Master Liu, the nephew of the Holy Cult Taibao. This time the Taibao was supposed to come, but because the Taibao had other things to do, he called Mr. Liu, who is closest to him, to come over."
Li Youfu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Liu."
Mr. Liu nodded calmly: "I think Brother Li also told the clan leader about everything."
Li Youfu nodded: "I said it, I said it."
Liu Gongzi hummed: "In order to avoid your worries, I made a promise to Anle Village on behalf of the Taibao. As long as you start an uprising in Henan Prefecture this time, you will join others in attacking Luoyang City. When this matter is completed, I will come to assist you again.
Leave. By then, Brother Li will be the guardian general, and everyone in Anle Village will be able to live a good life."
"Can you be a general?"
Li Youfu showed surprise on his face.
Mr. Liu was scornful in his heart, but his face was calm and colorless. He just nodded: "The Holy Religion will never deceive you."
Li Sanshi asked cautiously from the side: "When will the incident start?"
Li Zhicheng immediately spoke at this time: "The meaning of teaching should be sooner rather than later! Mr. Liu had already gone to other places before coming to our Anle Village.
The imperial grandson of the imperial court is now in Henan Mansion, and there are other cabinet ministers and officials on the Northern Patrol.
As long as they all come to Henan Prefecture and enter Luoyang City, that's when we take action!"
Mr. Liu also explained from the side: "When the time comes, you will disguise yourself and enter the city, and there will naturally be people in the city to help you. When the time comes, you can find where the Ming Emperor's grandson and the gang of dog officials are, and just surround them."
"Want to kill someone?"
Li Youfu felt a little uneasy.
Before Mr. Liu could speak, Li Zhicheng frowned and said, "It's just killing people! Haven't those gang of officials in the imperial court bullied us enough over the years? This time we have the chance, and it's time for us to chop off their heads!"
Li Youfu swallowed uneasily.
To him, killing an official was something he had never imagined in his life.
Mr. Liu said quietly: "If Anle Village can win over the grandson of the Ming Emperor, Brother Li will be able to be crowned king and prime minister at any time!"
Confess the king and worship the prime minister.
Such an impact is more exciting than killing an official.
Li Youfu's breathing stopped involuntarily.
Li Sanshi's eyes widened even more, staring intently at Brother Zhicheng, who had brought him up.
Can Anle Village also have a prince and a prime minister?
…
"Do they really think that by becoming a rebel, they can be crowned king and prime minister?"
"In the past thousands of years, none of those who have been rebels have succeeded!"
"Who doesn't know the final result of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who shouted these words? The world is ignorant. They only know that Qin's law is strict, but they don't know that when there is a flood, Qin's law can postpone the corvee."
A hidden place in the mountains and forests behind Anle Village.
Sun Cheng, who stayed overnight in Anle Village last night and made plans with Anle Village today to purchase bluestones after the New Year, left the village with his people under the watchful eyes of the villagers of Anle Village.
Just waiting for them to walk out of the mountain pass and letting the brigade return to Luoyang City with the news, Sun Cheng himself led two of his subordinates back to the mountain.
Listening to the deputy governor's words, Sun Cheng just had a sneer on his face.
"If there are no such excuses and reasons, how can the rebels win over people's hearts?"
The deputy governor frowned and thought for a while, and finally had to nod: "It's really like this. If someone pulls his subordinates to rebel without even saying anything about being crowned king or prime minister, the subordinates will definitely kill him on the spot with a knife in his hand!
"
"Then what if someone promises to the deputy governor that he will be crowned king and prime minister?"
Another Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi had a strange smile on his face and asked the deputy town manager.
The deputy governor glared: "Of course I will send him to prison and let Zhang Hui ask him where these rebels got the title of king and prime minister."
Sun Cheng coughed lightly, causing the two of them to stop teasing.
He whispered: "Where do you think the gang tonight came from?"
The deputy mayor narrowed his eyes: "He is traveling in a hurry, his hands and feet are covered with mud calluses, and he stays up all day and goes out at night. He must be a traitor from the White Lotus Sect!"
"Then the incident in Anle Village will be connected with the incident in Fengyang!"
Qian Huguan widened his eyes and merged the events in the two places together.
The deputy governor pondered: "It should be said that Fengyang, Henan Road, and Shanxi can all be put together now."
"These people have big plans!"
Suo Suo Suo.
In the forest, there was a sound like crawling snakes and insects.
Sun Cheng's eyes suddenly shrank, and the Xiuchun knife in his hand was silently unsheathed.
"who!"
Following Sun Cheng's low shout, he had already jumped up, holding a knife sideways and rushed into the bushes beside him, pressing the knife down.
"Henan Wei!"
A response came from behind the bushes.
Sun Lili immediately put away the embroidered spring knife that he had pressed down.
In his sight, several officers and soldiers stood up from behind the bushes with fear.
In the forest behind the officers and soldiers, numerous figures were groping their way forward in the forest.
Sun Cheng frowned and took out the Jinyiwei official badge from his arms: "Jinyiwei, why are you here?"
According to the distance, even if my own people have rushed back to Luoyang City now, they will not have time to come back with their troops and horses.
The officers and soldiers of the Henan Guard did not dare to take the official badge that Sun Cheng showed for inspection. It was just the Xiuchun Dao in the opponent's hand that most people would not dare to fake.
"A problem has been found on the river, and the root should be here. Taisun gave the order, and our Henan Guards came out in full force to attack Anle Village at night!"
Sun Cheng's eyes moved: "Henan Weidu is here? Is His Highness also here?"
The officers and soldiers nodded.
At this time, the Qianhu officer from the Henan Wei Qianhu Office on the back mountain road had already rushed over from behind.
"Your Majesty, see Zhenfu."
Sun Cheng waved his hand: "When will we do it?"
"Zi Shi."
Sun Cheng raised his head and glanced at the starry sky through the canopy of trees above his head.
"You are the Qianhu Official of Henan Guard, so you don't need to pay attention to me."
The Qianhu official nodded. This is the rule in the army. Unless there is a decree for Sun Cheng to command them, it is impossible to hand over military power even if the Xiuchun knife is placed on his neck.
The night grew darker and darker.
The mist on the mountain flows down like water and gathers around Anle Village at the foot of the mountain.
Outside the mountain pass.
Horseshoes wrapped in cloth, swords bound.
A team that never lit up a torch was marching forward in silence.
