In the backyard hall of the Pengcheng Mansion Yamen, Fu Yin Wu Dayin was sitting steadily on the Taishi chair. Pengcheng Daying's deputy commander Gan Yucheng was sitting at the bottom with a gloomy face, waiting for Fu Yin's order.
"Master Fu Yin, this matter should be reported to the capital as soon as possible. We have been besieging it for five days. If we don't attack even once, I'm afraid it won't be justified. When the time comes, the emperor will investigate, and you and I will not be able to bear this responsibility.
"Gan Yucheng couldn't help but stood up and said.
Gan Yucheng did not understand why Wu Dayin did not explain in the memorial that Zhu Tianjiang was under siege, but only said that he had found traces and was arresting him. Although Gan Yucheng was dissatisfied, Wu Dayin was now being arrested by the "party, government and army", and he had no right to do so.
Overstep of authority.
"General Gan, I have been favored by the emperor and am temporarily in charge of the Pengcheng camp. Since I am the flag-bearer of the camp, I will definitely not shirk my responsibility. Don't worry, when the emperor takes the blame, I will bear the responsibility.
"Wu Dayin said lukewarmly.
The muscles on Gan Yucheng's face twitched, and he clasped his fists and said, "Since your Majesty said so, fine, please give me an order. The general is willing to go to Xiaolong Mountain and personally guard the passage down the mountain, just in case."
Wu Dayin laughed and said, "General Gan, don't be anxious. Xiaolong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Zhu Tianjiang is very powerful. They have only been trapped for four or five days now, and they are not hungry enough to lose their combat effectiveness. Furthermore, in the Luoyan Mountain area to the south,
Grass bandits are rampant, and we rely on General Gan to guard Pengcheng. You can't leave. I think so, wait for another day or two, and I will order an attack on the mountain."
Gan Yucheng gritted his teeth. Wu Dayin had already said this, and he could only get up and leave with anger. When the military order came into the mountain, Wu Dayin took command of the command flag, and Gan Yucheng had to obey the order. Don't look at Gan Yucheng as a military general.
, but he does not belong to the Zhennan faction. If it were another general, even for Guo Tianxin's sake, he would not be so anxious to kill them all. Gan Yucheng was different. During the Xuanming Capital Rebellion, he was the commander of the camp on the outskirts of the capital.
A commander who followed Xuan Ming. Later, Zhu Tianjiang broke into the city and most of the officers and soldiers defending the city surrendered. At that time, Mrs. Guo and Xuan Le did not punish the officers below the general in order to stabilize the overall situation. Later, the Pengcheng Half was established.
At the time of the camp, Emperor Chengwu had retained a hand, and the people he selected were basically generals who had broken away from the Zhennan faction. Therefore, Gan Yucheng really wanted to capture Zhu Tianjiang in order to avenge the humiliation of the chaos and destruction of the capital.
As soon as Gan Yucheng left, two people walked out of the back room. These two people were none other than Yu Shouchang, the big shopkeeper of Zhuji Silver House in Pengcheng, and the other was Zhu Yi who came quietly down the mountain.
Zhu Yi was also anxious these past two days. Although Wu Dayin was very polite to them, he never took any practical action. Zhu Yi knew that they were in a hurry when they went up the mountain that day, and they didn't bring any food at all. They only relied on one or two bags of brown rice in the temple.
I'm afraid it's all eaten up long ago.
"Master Wu, my master and the princess are trapped on Xiaolong Mountain. Can you please give me some relief? If Master Wu can remember my master's old friendship, I hope you will be accommodating. This favor will be repaid one day.
If you don't miss the old relationship, then Zhu Yi will never bother you again." Zhu Yi said coldly, cupping his fists.
In the past few days, he and Yu Shouchang had begged Wu Dayin a lot. According to Zhu Yi's past temper, they would have put a knife to his neck to force him to order the withdrawal of troops.
Wu Dayin frowned, "Mr. Zhu Yi, you heard what Gan Yucheng said just now. Even if we want to release him, we have to think of a foolproof strategy. Otherwise, even if we order the withdrawal of troops, you will not be able to cross the border of Pengcheng.
I can prevent Gan Yucheng from going to Xiaolong Mountain, but I can't stop him from arresting you in Pengcheng."
Wu Dayin said and looked at Yu Shouchang next to him, "I think you should go back to the Silver Building first and give me one day. I will definitely give you a happy message."
Zhu Yi felt a little cold. He felt that Wu Dayin probably did not dare to let Zhu Tianjiang leave Xiaolong Mountain privately for the sake of his official position. If that was the case, he could only wait for Zhu Si and others to lead their troops to kill them. Even if they had to waste their troops
Even Zhu Yi couldn't let anything happen to Zhu Tianliang.
"Okay then, let's wait another day. There is a shortage of food and drink on the mountain. If you can't help it, we won't force it and say goodbye!" After Zhu Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Yu Shouchang glanced at Wu Dayin awkwardly, and said to Zhu Yi, don't make Wu Dayin anxious, otherwise there will be no way out.
Wu Dayin smiled bitterly. He understood Zhu Yi's current mood and did not blame him. Wu Dayin was also wondering in his heart. This was a major matter related to his family and his life. If he did not do well, he might become the Martial Emperor. He had endured it for most of his life.
After finally getting the appreciation of Emperor Chengwu, he didn't want to lose all of this. But then again, all of this was not given by Zhu Tianjiang. If Zhu Tianjiang and His Highness Xuanzhu hadn't
If he is investigated for the serious crime of secretly colluding with the Zhao family, there will be no Wu Dayin now. On one side is his "loyalty" to the emperor, on the other side is his "righteousness" to his benefactor, and Wu Dayin doesn't know which way to tilt the scale in his heart.
Zhu Yi followed Yu Shouchang back to Zhu Jiyin Tower. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhu Yi kicked down a cedar tree as thick as the mouth of a bowl in anger.
"Wu Dayin, this bastard, is a ruthless and ruthless person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I have told the adults a long time ago that we have to rely on our own people to solve the problem. Lao Yu, you can't control so much, hurry up and help Zhu Si and An
Send a message to those 20,000 soldiers and horses from far away, asking them to come quickly, and if that doesn't work, they will eat the Pengcheng camp. Damn it, I'll see who can stop our army." Zhu Yi said angrily.
"I said, sir, you must not be impulsive. In fact, our adults have made a good analysis. When the fourth master from Qingcheng leads his troops to attack, he will fight with Gan Yucheng and both sides will lose. Besides, it will take ten seconds to spread the news now.
They can't arrive until days later. It's even worse on the Anyuan side. Their 20,000 troops have to pass through the jurisdiction of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. It would be strange if they don't fight. At present, General Chu Yun is in charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Can those 20,000 people be able to get there?
It's hard to even kill him." Yu Shouchang quickly persuaded Zhu Yi.
"Then what should we do, just wait like this? If Wu Dayin is loyal to Emperor Chengwu, wouldn't we fall into a trap ourselves?"
Yu Shouchang shook his head, "I know Wu Dayin to some extent. He is a man of letters and pays the most attention to benevolence, justice and morality. Our Lord let him go that day, which is not a small kindness. Judging from Wu Dayin's performance in the past two days
, he should save our lord. Otherwise, he would not stop Gan Yucheng from going to Xiaolong Mountain."
Zhu Yi certainly hopes so, but the situation on the mountain cannot wait any longer. Dozens of people are trapped on the mountain, and Zhu Yi doesn’t know if they have anything to eat now. There is a small rainwater pond on the top of the mountain, and drinking water is no problem. The key is
It's this season and there aren't even any wild fruits. I really don't know what to eat.
The two of them were talking anxiously when a waiter at the front desk walked in.
"Shopkeeper, a brother from Zhu Ji came to the capital. It seems that he traveled overnight for several days. When he learned that Master Zhu was here, he wanted to see him no matter what."
When Zhu Yi and Yu Shouchang heard this, they quickly asked the waiter to bring them in. After a while, the waiter walked in with a young man with dark circles under his eyes. This man was sent by Lin Feng to deliver the message first.
Zhu Ji Anzi, the emperor's edict from the capital, rushed to Pengcheng in five days and five nights after seven or eight days' journey. He didn't know that Zhu Tianjiang was trapped in Xiaolong Mountain, but he was too tired and wanted to come to Pengcheng.
Zhu Jiyinlou had a full meal before leaving. He didn't even expect that Zhu Yi would be here. As soon as he heard that Zhu Yi was in the backyard, he quickly asked someone to send a message.
As soon as the brother saw Zhu Yi, he quickly told what Lin Feng had told him. After that, he took out the sealed iron tube from the bag behind his back. Zhu Yi was very sad when he learned that Lin Feng had gone to the capital.
Strange. After looking at the tin tube, Zhu Yi thought for a while and did not crush the wax seal. He thought it would be better to let Zhu Tianjiang open it. Since Lin Feng asked them to keep it, it should not be an emergency item.
Lin Feng asked the capital to send a message to Zhu San in Shutian, but he did not expect that the late emperor's decree would be intercepted in Pengcheng. Although Zhu Yi did not read the content, they did not receive the warning that Lin Feng later issued. Therefore, Zhu Yi
I didn't regard this thing as an important item.
The brother handed the things to Zhu Yi, which was a big deal. Zhu Yi felt that since Lin Feng was in the capital, he should have gotten the news that Zhu Tianjiang was trapped, and might be rushing here. If Lin Feng
Feng Neng arrived here, and Zhu Yi thought that by joining together with the brothers in the silver building, they might be able to fight their way out and rescue Zhu Tianjiang and the Seventh Princess.
Lin Feng was indeed coming here, but Lin Feng didn't know at all that Zhu Tianjiang was trapped. Since exiting the sticky pole, Lin Feng had developed the habit of being alone. Zhu Yi didn't
Thinking of it, Lin Feng didn't even stop at Pengcheng and went straight south to Shutian.
At noon the next day, Wu Dayin sent someone to invite Zhu Yi and Yu Shouchang to come over. The two did not dare to neglect and hurried to the government office.
Wu Dayin thought about it over and over, and finally decided to help Zhu Tianjiang overcome this difficulty. However, he did not want to let go, but wanted to arrest Zhu Tianjiang and others.
Wu Dayin neither wanted to be killed by Emperor Chengwu's order, nor had to save Zhu Tianjiang, so he came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. That was to first ask a trusted servant in the mansion to immediately go to Pengcheng Prison to dig a secret passage. When the time came,
Gan Yucheng was ordered to lead his troops to protect the outskirts of the prison. After Zhu Tianjiang and the others escaped, Wu Dayin pretended to arrest people. In that case, the main responsibility fell on Gan Yucheng. Even if Emperor Chengwu held him accountable, Wu Dayin
It also ensures that you don’t lose your head.
Zhu Yi felt that this plan was feasible. The government offices of the Penal Department in Pengcheng were all close confidants of Wu Dayin, so they were not afraid of leaking the news. However, it would take two days and two nights at the fastest to dig the secret tunnel. Zhu Yi could only temporarily go back to the mountain to tell Zhu Tianjiang the news.
When the time comes, he will cooperate with Wu Dayin to attack the mountain and be arrested.
Pengcheng is also a day's journey from Xiaolong Mountain. When Zhu Yi arrived at the outskirts of Xiaolong Mountain, he saw that the surrounding area was surrounded by temporary military tents set up by officers and soldiers. Zhu Yi carefully walked around half a circle before arriving at the back mountain.
Zhu Yi climbed up the cliff.
Going up the mountain was much more difficult than going down the mountain. When Zhu Yi came from the cliff to the top of the mountain, he was so tired that he almost collapsed.
Da Niu, who was patrolling the mountain, saw a dark figure coming up and rushed over with an iron bar.
"No~it's~it's me~!" Zhu gasped, took off his coat, and went shirtless in the cold wind to try to stay awake as much as possible.
"God, Brother Zhu Yi, I've been waiting for you to come here. We've caught all the rats on the mountain. If you don't come, I, Daniel, will kill you and share the meat with everyone." Daniel saw it.
Zhu Yi was so excited that he almost cried.
"Hurry, help me to see the adults." Zhu Yi's hands were so bruised that blood blisters appeared, and his body was trembling.
"Have you brought anything to eat? Give me some first."
"Stop talking nonsense and help me go quickly."
"Here are two of you, hurry up and take Brother 1 to see the adults. Brother Zhu, I have to patrol the mountains to find bird eggs, so I won't accompany you to see the adults, otherwise the adults will scold me for being lazy again." Daniel said,
Let the two brothers help Zhu Yi quickly go to the small temple.
As soon as Zhu Yi walked away, Daniel slammed the iron rod on the ground and found that Zhu Yi's coat was still thrown on the ground. Daniel picked it up and was about to be sent away, when suddenly, an iron tube fell down.
"What is this? Isn't it food inside?" Daniel was delighted and opened the wax seal.
Daniel poured out a roll of yellow brocade. When he saw that it was not for food, Daniel felt a little disappointed.
"What's that? If any of you can read, come over quickly and see what kind of ghost symbols are drawn on it." Da Niu shook the yellow cloth roll in his hand and asked the three brothers behind him.
"Sir, I have been studying for a few days." A brother quickly walked up to Daniel holding a torch.
"Quick, Nian Nian, it can't be a letter written by Zhu Yi to some sweetheart, right? I'm paralyzed, and I'm so hungry that my eyes are dazzled. It would be good to listen to pornographic songs." Daniel squatted down holding his arms.
The brother spread the yellow cloth roll on the ground, held up the torch and read out each word one by one. As he read, the brother stopped in shock. Looking at the others waiting, except for Daniel, who was stunned.
Knowing what they were thinking about, the remaining two people opened their mouths wide, like little house sparrows waiting to be fed.
"My mother-in-law~ Sir~ we are saved~ The old emperor put a cuckold on the Guo family~ Your father-in-law is also a dragon!"
The big cow howled excitedly and ran towards the small temple!
