Lin Chong ordered Mu Mu to take Jonathan away from the palace via the trail and then join them. However, they ignored that it was easy to get out of the trail, but it was not that easy to join them.
Zhang Wei took Lin Chong out from the Qianqing Palace. As soon as they walked out, they were hit by the smell of blood and iron.
Although Lin Chong had traveled to the Ming Dynasty for some time and even handled several major cases personally. However, he had always stayed at the stage of hearing about death. He had never really faced death. At this moment, he smelled the fishy smell of blood. Only when he heard the screams of dying people and saw living people turned into piles of lifeless pieces of flesh with his own eyes could he deeply feel that he was really facing death.
When a small group of soldiers saw them surrounding them, Zhang Wei shouted loudly: "I am Zhang Wei, the commander of the heavy armor battalion. I have received news that Wang Chengen has taken the dog emperor and ran away from the side door. I will lead people to chase him."
Look at this bunch of people, but Zhang Wei’s identity is here, and he can’t stop him from passing. Zhang Wei is sure to pass here precisely because of his confidence in his identity and the fact that these people have no Having seen the emperor, it was impossible for them to see anything.
Just as the group was about to let them go, a deep voice came from behind: "Stop."
Zhang Wei froze, turned around, quickly calmed down and put on his usual smile: "Brother, why are you here."
Dong Fang stared at the third brother gloomily: "Zhang Wei, where did you run just now?"
"My little brother went to Qianqing Palace to look for the dog emperor, but he had already escaped. I was about to take someone to find him," Zhang Wei replied.
"Oh? Really? But the people guarding the Qianqing Palace only saw you going in and no one came out. Could it be that the emperor flew away and escaped from under our noses?" Dong Fang was obviously very suspicious. .
Seeing Dong Fang getting closer and closer, Zhang Wei tightly held the sword in his hand.
Lin Chong wished he could dig a hole and bury himself now. As Dong Fang got closer and closer, Lin Chong could almost hear his heartbeat getting faster and faster, as if it was about to burst through his chest. What should I do? Has he already seen me? He was heading towards I'm here, what should I do?
Dong Fang had already approached. He seemed to want to see clearly what each of the people behind Zhang Wei looked like. Just when he walked to Lin Chong's side, a long sword came out of the air with a clear and graceful roar. When it came, Dong Fang hurriedly dodged but still couldn't avoid it and was stabbed in the left shoulder.
He covered his shoulders and took a few steps back, looking angrily at the person who attacked him in the air. Lin Chong was also stunned by this action. He turned his head mechanically, and a green figure in the air continued to attack Dong with the help of his strength. Fang attacked.
"Liu...Master Liu?" Lin Chong's eyes widened and he stared at the figure that kept moving for a moment.
Zhang Wei shouted: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you go over and help!" After he shouted, the group of soldiers who had been surrounding them rushed up to surround the cyan figure.
Zhang Wei pulled Lin Chong and said, "Hurry up!"
"But..." He glanced in the direction of Master Liu, "Is it really okay to leave her here alone?"
Zhang Wei pulled him out of the palace, "I don't care about so much now. As long as your Majesty can leave here safely, I can say anything."
The rest of the place was still in chaos. Zhang Wei led Lin Chong out of the house in a zigzag manner, and was hardly questioned along the way. After sending Lin Chong and his party out of the palace, Zhang Wei handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, I can only send you off. We’re here. If I follow you from now on, it will only increase my goals. I’ll try to delay it as long as possible. You must take care of yourself!”
Lin Chong felt mixed emotions in his heart. He had not yet recovered from the shock of being out of danger, and his whole body seemed a little sluggish. However, Zhou Ze came over and bowed his hand to Zhang Wei: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shen, will remember today's contribution.
I won't say thank you for your kindness, and I will definitely thank the general in the future. Please take care of yourself, general, we will meet again in the mountains and rivers, so let's say goodbye." He pulled Lin Chong and left the imperial city quickly.
Although the palace has been filled with blood, there is not much movement in the city except for martial law. Many people in the city whispered because they did not understand why the martial law was suddenly imposed. The teahouse and inn still came, and the Rouge Restaurant still came.
open.
As soon as he came to the city, the first thing Zhou Ze did was to buy clothes. Instead of going to a silk and satin shop to make new clothes, he went to a few ordinary people's homes and bought a few pairs of coarse cloth clothes that they usually wear.
When we stayed, we didn't stay in the same inn, but chose to stay in small hotels not far apart.
Because he guessed that there would be portraits of several people soon, he also asked Mu Xi to buy some things for women's toiletries. He painted and changed them several times, trying to prevent everyone from leaving too conspicuous features, and also to make them
Everyone's appearance changes slightly.
There was no emperor in the palace, and soldiers from the three battalions quickly moved in. Dong Fang finally captured Liu Shishi, but he was not in a hurry to kill him.
Things were about to change in the palace. Soon someone appeared in the palace. This person was Zhu Cixuan, the lucky king who Zhang Xianzhong had been looking for but could not find.
It turned out that he had stayed in the capital after leaving Changsha. It was he who had been the one who intimidated the ministers before. He had been lurking in the capital for a long time, bribed the Minister of War Chen Xinjia with coercion and inducement, and also encouraged the soldiers of the Peking Camp to rebel with him.
Several generals in the Beida camp were hesitant at first, but as they were approaching the capital inspection, their embezzlement of military pay would soon be exposed. After the three people discussed it, Dong Fang decided to do nothing and simply counterattack.
Got him.
Not only did King Ji buy his own power in the capital, he never relaxed even in Changsha Mansion. On the surface, it seemed that he lost Changsha Mansion because King Ji escaped, but in fact, Changsha Mansion has always been under his control.
King Zhongji sent people to stay and asked them to pretend to surrender, even sacrificing the rare treasures they had collected over the years to gain Zhang Xianzhong's trust, in order to keep Changsha Mansion in the hands of his own people.
He has indeed accomplished this. Now the people holding official positions in Changsha are basically the people of King Ji. It will not be difficult for him to take back Changsha.
But he is not in a hurry now. There is no harm to him if Zhang Xianzhong stays in Hunan. On the contrary, it can reduce a big threat to him. Zhang Xianzhong is greedy and will definitely not be satisfied with a small Changsha. He will soon
Will continue to attack other places.
This bought him a lot of time, and at the same time delayed the steps of other feudal kings as much as possible, allowing him to sit firmly on the throne.
Liu Shishi cannot be killed yet. This person is Li Zicheng's spy in the capital. Li Zicheng is still fighting in Shanhaiguan, so he cannot be given an excuse to withdraw.
