Zhang Shenyan was originally from Shanxi, and the emperor's imperial edict was still influential in the north. After being labeled a traitor by the emperor, he did not dare to return to Shanxi, but hid in Qian Qianyi's Jiangyun Tower.
Although the people in Jiangnan respect the down-and-out scholars very much, Zhang Shenyan is still frightened these days. Like Qian Qianyi, he is afraid that Li Zhi will come to Suzhou every day.
However, what Zhang Shenyan didn't expect was that Li Zhi would come so quickly and come by water. Jiangyun Tower is only forty miles away from the Yangtze River waterway. After Li Zhi's soldiers landed in Suzhou from the waterway, they could reach Jiangyun Tower in half an hour.
.
Zhang Shenyan was not in the mood to comfort the disappointed Liu Rushi, so he turned around and went to the stable to get the horse. But before he could get to the stable, he heard the sound of rolling horse hooves coming from outside the yard.
Only the sound of a gunshot was heard, and the soldiers of the Tiger Army fired into the air to demonstrate.
Liu Rushi, who was standing at the door of the yard, was so frightened that she hugged her little daughter tightly and looked at the heavily armed Tiger and Ben Army soldiers in horror.
The first to arrive at Jiangyun Tower were Zhong Feng's two hundred scout cavalry, led by the regiment leader Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong rode fast to the front of Jiangyun Tower, stopped with a rein, and looked at Liu at the door.
If so.
Feeling that Liu Rushi's status was not low, Jiang Chong asked sharply: "Woman Wu! Where are Qian Qianyi and Zhang Shenyan?"
Liu Rushi, however, refused to reveal the whereabouts of Qian Qianyi, gritting his teeth to protect his daughter without saying a word.
Jiang Chong frowned, waved towards Jiangyun Tower, and shouted: "Go in and search!"
The cavalry divided one hundred people into a circle and rode around Jiangyun Tower, blocking the main exit. Then the remaining one hundred people jumped off their horses, rushed into Jiangyun Tower with guns in hand, and began to search for the traitor's money.
, Zhang Erren.
"The Tiger Army is taking people! Everyone kneels down!"
"The Tigers and Guards are taking people! Anyone who blocks his path will die! All those who have nothing to do with him will kneel down!"
The soldiers entered the ornately decorated Jiangyun Building without being polite. When they encountered a wooden door, they kicked it open. If they couldn't kick it open, they used grenades to blow it up. The whole Jiangyun Building, which occupies a large area, was suddenly in a state of chaos.
Jiang Chong held the two muskets on his waist with one hand and walked into Jiangyun Tower with a solemn expression. He looked around the mansion and soon fell in love with the four-story Tibetan building. He looked around.
Go, obviously this is the place where people can be hidden in Jiangyun Tower.
Jiang Chong snorted coldly, pressed his gun and ran into Tibet.
The light and shadow in the Tibet was dim, and there were rows and rows of tall bookshelves. Jiang Chong was walking among the bookshelves when he suddenly saw a figure flashing at the other end of the bookshelf.
Jiang Chong sneered and took a few steps back. He took out a grenade from his waist and shouted loudly behind no one: "Blow it up with a grenade!"
Then Jiang Chong threw the unlit grenade to the other end of the bookshelf.
At the other end of the bookshelf, Zhang Shenyan saw the "hand grenade" thrown on the ground and was frightened to death. When he organized the Jiangbei Army to attack the city in Xinzhou, he had experienced the Hu Ben Army's grenade countless times. Once this thing exploded, it would kill people within one foot.
There would be no more living creatures. Seeing Jiang Chong's grenade rolling towards his feet, Zhang Shenyan shouted and flew towards the distance, rolling and crawling to avoid it.
However, the grenade did not explode.
After Zhang Shenyan finally escaped and was two feet away from the grenade, when he turned back to look at the grenade, he was suddenly hit by a cold cylinder on his head.
Jiang Chong put a gun to Zhang Shenyan's head: "What's your name?"
Zhang Shenyan said in a panic: "I am Liu Sizhen, the housekeeper of Jiangyun Tower."
Jiang Chong was silent for two seconds and said coldly: "Jiangyun Tower is Liu Rushi's private residence and does not have a housekeeper. If you don't even understand this, you must be Zhang Shenyan who is temporarily hiding in Jiangyun Tower."
Jiang Chong grabbed Zhang Shenyan and walked out of Tibet, handing Zhang Shenyan to the soldiers.
"Have you found Qian Qianyi?"
"not yet!"
Jiang Chong looked back at Liu Rushi and saw that Liu Rushi secretly glanced toward the courtyard door in panic.
How smart is Jiang Chong? Just seeing Liu Rushi's small expression, combined with the fact that Liu Rushi was standing at the door just now, Jiang Chong knew that Qian Qianyi must have fled.
Jiang Chong rushed to the front of his car: "Third row! Fourth row! Follow me out to chase Qian Qianyi!"
Seeing Jiang Chong mounting his horse to chase Qian Qianyi, Liu Rushi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She rushed to Jiang Chong's horse, grabbed the horse's rope and shouted loudly: "General, Qian Qianyi is at Jiangyun Tower.
Enter the courtyard three times and I will take you to find him!"
Jiang Chong became angry when he saw that this woman was still deceiving him at this moment. This woman was clearly abandoned by Qian Qianyi, so how could she still be so loyal? She was not afraid that if she deceived her and revealed her secret, he would kill her in anger.
What?
He swung his riding crop angrily and hit Liu Rushi hard on the face. There was only a snap sound, and Liu Rushi, who was famous all over the Yangtze River, had already covered his face and fell to the ground.
Jiang Chong felt a little annoyed as he rushed out of Jiangyun Tower at the lead.
When he saw Liu Rushi at the door just now, he should have understood that Qian Qianyi had escaped. If Qian Qianyi had not fled, why would Liu Rushi be standing at the door with his daughter? Why did his reaction become so slow?
He led the cavalry here to arrest Qian Qianyi. If Qian Qianyi, the traitor, escaped, he would have failed the mission. Division commander Zhong Feng has valued himself very much over the years. If he led the troops to raid Jiangyun Tower but Qian Qianyi got lost.
Well, Zhong Feng will definitely be very disappointed.
On the contrary, the top brass of the Huben Army, including Tianjin Governor Li Xing, have been very optimistic about themselves in recent years. If he leads a surprise attack with 200 people to capture Qian Qianyi this time, his status in the Huben Army will be even higher.
Jiang Chong was very anxious and rode in a circle in front of Jiangyun Tower.
Jiang Chong wanted to determine the direction of the pursuit.
There are rivers to the north and east, both of which are impossible routes. Qian Qianyi can only escape to the west or south. Jiang Chong hesitated in front of Jiangyun Tower for ten seconds, and then shouted loudly: "The third row is going to
Chase to the west, the fourth platoon follows me to the southwest!"
Jiang Chong rode forward for half an hour, but did not find Qian Qianyi all the way. He thought on the road: Qian Qianyi is sixty-four years old. He cannot ride a horse for a long time and must be hiding somewhere to rest. He
Observe the vegetation on both sides of the road along the way to see if there are any places to hide people.
It wasn't until he passed a small market on both sides of the road that Jiang Chong suddenly reined in his horse and stopped.
There was no one in the small market, and it was unusually deserted. This was the time when vendors from the north and south were walking around, but there was not even a single person greeting people in front of the tea shop in the market.
Jiang Chong frowned and waved his hand: "Dismount and search!"
Jiang Chong kicked open the broken wooden door of the tea shop and rushed into the tea shop with his soldiers. Several tea shop waiters who were hiding behind the wooden door were hit by the kicked wooden boards and fled towards the back door screaming.
The soldiers chased him out of the back door and found that there was a rice field behind the back door, and Qian Qianyi was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Chong looked around in the tea shop for a while, then suddenly walked to the door of the toilet and yanked open the broken door.
Sure enough, Qian Qianyi was standing behind the door shivering.
