Ziqin returned at the right time. Wu Sangui had been operating in Shanhaiguan for many years and naturally had a team of his own. Even if Guan Ning's cavalry were wiped out, this team would only shrink, not disappear.
The imperial envoy came with the emperor's order. There were hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Shanhaiguan at this time. This was not without Wu Sangui's dissent. Most importantly, in this world of martial arts that influenced the imperial court, neither side had a decisive master, so at this time
Shanhaiguan is in a confrontational situation.
Outside the pass, the Manchu and Qing cavalry were watching eagerly, but inside the pass, there was internal strife.
This kind of situation, which has not been seen a few times in thousands of years, is so real. When Ziqin returned to Shanhaiguan, everyone was stunned. The Minister of War was shocked that Ziqin was still alive, but Wu Sangui was shocked.
Ziqin actually came back.
"You really shouldn't have come back."
In just a few days, Wu Sangui lost a lot of weight, and his originally dark face now looked a bit weathered.
"All my subordinates betrayed me. Shouldn't I come back and see what the guy who instigated my subordinates' betrayal looks like?"
Zi Qin smiled faintly, but Wu Sangui let out a long sigh.
Ziqin looked at the depressed Wu Sangui. At this moment, he had no idea of betraying the Ming Dynasty, but he felt disappointed and depressed about the imperial envoy.
"Brother Ling, what do people pursue in life, power, money, beauty, fame, or something else?"
Wu Sangui's voice sounded after sighing. Ziqin looked outside the pass indifferently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He couldn't answer this question himself, what do people pursue in life, because he didn't know the answer to it either.
He really didn’t know what he was pursuing after time-traveling money, when he didn’t get the world of famous people after time-traveling, and after getting the world of famous people. It seemed that sometimes he just wanted to use the world of famous people as a world of entertainment and escape, and sometimes he didn’t.
I have to rely on the power of this world to survive.
However, even if he didn't have an answer in his heart, he still had to find an answer for Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui, who was once so wild in movies and TV shows, said this, which shows the impact of this incident on him. Zi Qin didn't want to care about what Wu Sangui was like in history.
He only knew that Wu Sangui was his friend, a brother who had experienced life and death.
"What do people pursue in life? Haha, I'm afraid only people who are alive will ask this question. When you ask this question, you only need to press your chest to see if you are happy. If you are happy, why are you happy? If you are not happy,
And why are you unhappy? This may be your pursuit."
Ziqin spoke calmly. He didn't remember when and where he saw this sentence, nor did he remember who said it, but at this time, this sentence seemed to be just right.
At the critical moment, the two fell silent. Ziqin himself was thinking when he said those words, but his answer came faster than Wu Sangui. He lives just to live. If he adds something, it is to protect himself.
Home and family, even if that home is his home after time travel.
After a long time, the two of them were still silent, but a soldier quickly ran over from a distance.
"grown ups."
With a panicked cry, the soldier ran to the two men and knelt down on one knee.
"Sir, the Lord Shangshu from the capital has led his men to surround your residence."
The soldier's voice was extremely anxious, and beads of sweat rolled down his face and forehead. During this period, not only Wu Sangui was at a loss, but these ordinary soldiers were suffering every day.
They can do it at the cost of their lives, but when their direct superiors conflict with the adults in the capital, even if they, the soldiers, can only stand by their superiors, they are still filled with fear.
disturbed.
Wu Sangui looked away from outside the pass. He glanced at Ziqin, who nodded to him, and the two of them quickly headed towards the pass.
At this time, the Minister of War was Zhang Jinyan. He was a smart man, but he didn't have much talent in military matters. He was pretty good at scheming, but his personality was that of a faggot. Of course, he wasn't.
He was a pervert, but he had another purpose in asking Wu Sangui for Chen Yuanyuan.
It turned out that Chen Yuanyuan was the concubine chosen by Chongzhen when he was choosing his concubines. However, Chongzhen was worried about the government and ignored the selection. As a result, Chen Yuanyuan was released back to his hometown. Later, he lived in Liaodong and was met by Wu Sangui.
However, what is unexpected is that Chongzhen accidentally saw the picture book of the unsuccessful selection of a concubine, and then saw the portrait of Chen Yuanyuan. He inadvertently said some words of praise and regretted that he had let go of such a beautiful woman.
These words were discovered by the ministers who were always paying attention to the affairs of the palace. Therefore, some ministers took it to heart. Zhang Jinyan was one of them. Zhang Jinyan had no intention of embarrassing Wu Sangui when he came to Shanhaiguan this time. At this time, Ming Dynasty had already
With the sun declining, since the death of Yuan Chonghuan, Wu Sangui is probably the most skilled general in the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhang Jinyan is not good at military affairs, he also knows the importance of Wu Sangui.
However, when choosing between pleasing the emperor and appeasing the generals, Zhang Jinyan finally chose to please the emperor, and then there was a scene where Zhang Jinyan forcibly asked Wu Sangui for Chen Yuanyuan.
Originally Wu Sangui's toughness was beyond Zhang Jinyan's expectation, and the confrontation between the two sides was enough to delay it for a while. Zhang Jinyan wanted to wait until his men got rid of the strongest Ziqin on Wu Sangui's side before trying to remove Wu Sangui's military power, and finally arrested Wu Sangui and sent Chen Yuanyuan to the palace.
, but never thought that Ziqin could easily kill the green forest masters bribed by Zhang Jinyan and rush back to Shanhaiguan.
This gave Zhang Jinyan a sense of crisis, and he had to take risks and prepare to take Chen Yuanyuan away quickly, which led to the current scene of leading troops to surround Wu Sangui's residence.
"Zhang Jinyan, don't go too far."
Facing the soldiers surrounding his residence, Wu Sangui couldn't help but glared at Zhang Jinyan who was standing in the crowd and roared loudly.
Ziqin stood beside Wu Sangui and looked at him quietly. Judging from his appearance, Zhang Jinyan was definitely a romantic celebrity. If Wu Sangui had not happened, Ziqin would have felt a good impression of him when he first met him.
"Wu Sangui, do you know what you are doing? Leading troops to confront me, the Minister of War who is in charge of all the armies of the Ming Dynasty. You are intending to rebel, and it is a major crime to kill the clan."
It has to be said that Zhang Jinyan's words were tightly grasped as soon as he opened his mouth. Standing next to Wu Sangui, Zi Qin could clearly feel Wu Sangui trembling slightly when he heard Zhang Jinyan's words.
This man was still a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty at this time. Unfortunately, this loyal minister was destined to disperse due to various things.
"Brother Ling, maybe you can do me a favor and catch him."
Wu Sangui's tired voice sounded in Zi Qin's ears, and he nodded expressionlessly. From the moment he chose to help Wu Sangui, Zi Qin's fate in this world has been tied to Wu Sangui, until Zi Qin left this world when the final mission appeared.
They will all be Wu Sangui's most effective helpers.
Ziqin's figure jumped out quickly, and in front, the sergeants around Zhang Jinyan were on guard. As the Minister of War, naturally there were not only the useless guards who were killed by Ziqin, but also some experts who had taken refuge in the royal family.
Almost as soon as Zi Qin jumped out, those masters had already tightly guarded Zhang Jinyan. Zi Qin frowned slightly and secretly thought about how to capture Zhang Jinyan.
While thinking, Ziqin's long sword was naturally swung out, and it was during this swing that Ziqin discovered something strange.
He was moving, breaking through the soldiers in front. At the same time, his eyes were looking at the guards around Zhang Jinyan, but his brain was thinking about how to break through the guards around Zhang Jinyan.
At the same time, Ziqin actually made many judgments on many things, and was able to accurately control his body to fight. This seemed a bit incredible.
The most important thing is that although thinking is fast, it definitely takes time. While Ziqin was thinking, he felt that the whole space had stopped. He knew that he could see the soldiers wielding weapons still in weird postures.
There, while he was thinking.
Blood splashed and a bit of coldness spread. Ziqin recovered from the strange feeling. His figure had disappeared into the crowd and he waved his long sword. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion, but Ziqin knew that it was definitely not an illusion, because
He has already thought about how to break through in his mind, and he already has a perfect route to break through, but this was definitely obtained through careful thinking.
"Ling Xiao, I know that you are still loyal to the imperial court. Why don't you surrender? I can protect you as a royal guard for thousands of households. From now on, you will be proud of your ancestors and have endless wealth."
Zhang Jinyan looked at Ziqin's posture like a dragon and a tiger in the crowd and shouted loudly. He had to admit that Zhang Jinyan was still very smart. He did not directly use the four words of glory and wealth to recruit Ziqin. Instead, he first used Guangzong Yaozu. You must know that Lulin
Most of the wealthy people at this level already have no shortage of power and wealth. Only fame can attract them.
In fact, most of the green forest heroes who played the role played by Ziqin were accepted by Zhang Jinyan in this way. However, Zhang Jinyan misguessed Ziqin's position, or Zhang Jinyan lost due to the arrangement of the system, which was arranged by the system.
Ziqin fought side by side with Wu Sangui from the beginning of this world, which directly led to Ziqin choosing Wu Sangui during the two-way choice.
"He is stubborn, Commander Du, take him down."
Zhang Jinyan looked at Zi Qin coldly. Seeing Zi Qin ignore his solicitation, this adult who had a smooth journey on the official road felt ashamed and angry, and he calmly spoke to the captain of the guard beside him.
At this time, Zhang Jinyan didn't see the pained expression on his guard chief's face. Experts would know if there was any trouble as soon as Zi Qin made a move. These guards had already seen that Zi Qin's martial arts was beyond their ability to withstand, let alone one-on-one, even if it was one-on-one.
Even if they go together, they will definitely not be able to compete, so at this moment, the captain of the guard is quite confused under Zhang Jinyan's order.
"Sir, I think we'd better retreat as soon as possible."
The captain of the guard turned his head and looked at Zhang Jinyan helplessly and said, these guards are no match, Zhang Jinyan's safety is worth discussing. Originally, Zhang Jinyan also had an army of tens of thousands, which could deal with Ziqin, but Zhang Jinyan was so hot-headed today.
If he led the team himself, this street could only accommodate a few thousand people at most, so there were only a hundred people blocking Zhang Jinyan's path at this time.
More than a hundred people are nothing to a master like Ziqin.
"My lord, we can get rid of this man simply by retreating into the crowd."
The captain of the guard looked carefully and spoke again. As soon as he said this, he saw Zhang Jinyan's cold eyes looking at him.
"Commander Du, are you kidding me? I am the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. I was forced to retreat by a green forest man while being protected and commanded by dozens of masters. Where do you want me to put this old face in the future?"
Zhang Jinyan scolded him sternly, and even couldn't help but kick the captain of the guard twice as he spoke.
idiot.
It was extremely easy for Ziqin to break through the army of more than a hundred people. The reason why he delayed was to think about how to capture Zhang Jinyan alive. At this time, when Zhang Jinyan was angry, all the guards, including the captain of the guard, looked at Zhang Jinyan. This gave
Ziqin opportunity.
In the encirclement, Ziqin's figure suddenly jumped out, passing through the many soldiers like a phantom, and suddenly appeared behind the captain of the guard.
One hand stretched out, picked up the captain of the guard and threw him back like a chicken. Immediately, the sword was placed on Zhang Jinyan's neck.
With a sword on the stand, Ziqin's figure came close, stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Jinyan and flew back. In a few flashes, he had returned to Wu Sangui's side, but at this time, the guard captain who was thrown out by Ziqin had just landed.
"Master Zhang, we meet again."
Wu Sangui looked at Zhang Jinyan, who was within easy reach, and smiled. His face was still haggard, but his expression was very good. Ziqin couldn't help but take another look, and finally confirmed that Wu Sangui had crossed the spiritual threshold. At this moment,
The current Wu Sangui may not be said to be completely reborn, but he will never be as timid as the previous Wu Sangui.
"Rebellious traitor, do you think it will be useful to catch me? Don't forget that your family members are all in the capital."
Looking at Wu Sangui's smiling face, Zhang Jinyan had a cold face. After talking about Wu Sangui, Zhang Jinyan looked at Ziqin again.
"Ling Xiao, don't think that Wu Sangui is unparalleled in power at this time. You must know that the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to the emperor. If you disrespect the court like this, you will never end well."
Zhang Jinyan's face was extremely arrogant, which almost made Ziqin angry. This old guy was still so arrogant at this time.
"Uncle Chang, you can kill him at any time if you want. I can help you save your family. The capital may be the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, but it is by no means a dragon's den or a tiger's den for me. You should know my martial arts. Give me three
Hundreds of elite soldiers, with a little guidance from me, can definitely easily wipe out the entire garrison in Beijing."
Ziqin's voice sounded extremely low. As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Jinyan with a sneer. The latter's expression changed, and his mouth trembled but he said nothing. Naturally, Zhang Jinyan didn't believe what Ziqin said, but Zhang Jinyan
It can be seen that Ziqin's tone of voice is extremely serious and he is definitely not joking.
Faced with Zi Qin's attitude, Zhang Jinyan did not dare to take risks. Even if Zi Qin couldn't do what he said, there was still no problem in killing him. It only took one knife.
"Wait a minute, I have already sent people to the capital. I think it won't take long to know the situation in the capital."
Wu Sangui shook his head and looked at Zhang Jinyan again. At this moment, he also saw that this old guy would never compromise. In fact, even Zhutou knew that this matter was already very difficult to resolve. If Zhang Jinyan could be more sensible about this,
He should beg for mercy now instead of being stubborn. Unfortunately, this era is really a crazy and perverted era, but Zhang Jinyan still doesn't think that Wu Sangui dares to kill him casually, because he is a human being and the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Zhang Jinyan was pushed down with his head held high, but when Zhang Jinyan was pushed down, his troops did not move at all. I have to say that this guy is a real failure in life. He has tens of thousands of people under his command but does not have a trusted general. Nothing happened to him.
At that time, those generals would still listen to him because they were imperial envoys. But when he was captured by Wu Sangui, none of the generals tried to save him. They just tried their best to distance themselves from the matter.
At night, Wu Sangui served wine and invited Ziqin.
This man did let go a lot, but he never said anything like protecting the family and the country to Zi Qin again. That night, when the two of them were drinking, Wu Sangui suddenly apologized to Zi Qin, which made Zi Qin slightly stunned.
"I originally wanted to establish a reputation for my brother by wiping out the Demonic Cult outside the Pass, establish a larger Green Forest Alliance, and let the eight sects recognize the existence of this alliance. From now on, my brother will become a figure not inferior to the leaders of the eight major sects. However, after today
I'm afraid my brother will be infamous again immediately."
Wu Sangui spoke with a wry smile. Ziqin was slightly startled, but his heart moved. He had never thought that Wu Sangui would actually think about him like this. However, it had to be said that if he followed Wu Sangui's idea, he would indeed have the opportunity to become the founder of a different country.
The Green Forest Alliance is inferior to the Eight Major Factions Alliance, and by taking that position, it has the same status as the leader of the Eight Factions Alliance.
"I lost my life but gained it. Ling never had too many delusions."
Ziqin spoke calmly and then raised his glass.
After having another drink with Ziqin, Wu Sangui sighed and suddenly spoke loudly.
"Don't worry, brother, I will never let you eat porridge when I have a bite to eat in the future."
Wu Sangui's voice was extremely cheerful. Zi Qin did not doubt Wu Sangui's sincerity at all. It was just that Zi Qin had no interest in joining the Manchus and Qing Dynasty. Secondly, Zi Qin knew that his time in this world would never be too long, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Talkative.
This time the banquet lasted until very late. Ziqin analyzed Wu Sangui's words from time to time and estimated that Wu Sangui had already wanted to defect to the Manchus. However, Ziqin had no time to pay attention to these things. He returned to his room to check the previous
System prompts.
Originally, Ziqin was full of pride and did not check this prompt for the time being, but today's battle during the day made Ziqin feel that this prompt was probably not simple.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ziqin's consciousness sank into his mind. The message opened. Ziqin looked over and was stunned. Ziqin had never thought of this message. (To be continued.
