So Yuan Qingfang and Liu Xingyan watched with sympathetic eyes as the imperial doctors carefully bandaged Lin Chong's wounds. After all, there were ladies present, so Lin Chong did not want to be too exaggerated and wanted to maintain his grace as much as possible.
However, things did not go as planned. After all, this was in ancient times. In addition, Lin Chong did not agree to go back and insisted on witnessing their victory on the tower. The imperial doctors were also afraid that there would be other complications here, so they had to simply bandage them.
It'll be over in one go.
So in the absence of anesthesia and other advanced medical equipment, all Lin Chong could do was not howl. After putting on his clothes again, his face was very pale. After casually wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he really
He continued to stand there with an indifferent expression and looked down attentively.
Yuan Qingfang and Liu Xingyan looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes. This person who was grinning in pain just now could actually pretend that nothing happened in a serious manner.
The battle below is still going on intensely. In fact, it is intense, but they are just unilaterally tense here. Since the formations are constantly changing, the people caught in the middle cannot fully capture this short-term change.
, the opponent immediately rearranged their formation as soon as they had a nod, and after a few times they completely lost their direction.
Although it always felt like he was trying to break through the encirclement in all directions, from Lin Chong's perspective, they were just wandering around in the middle. They had been chasing after them for so long, and now they could finally make a switch.
He stood quietly and watched them anxiously in the middle.
After Duanmu and Yanli got down, the formation changes were obviously much smoother than before, which dazzled the opponent even more. Lin Chong discovered that they had unknowingly expanded the array to twice its original size.
The place is bigger.
He was originally worried that there would be loopholes in their encirclement after the area expanded, but it turned out that his idea was obviously too much. Although the area in the middle was larger, the enemies surrounded in the middle obviously did not feel this.
The pressure is reduced. On the contrary, when the place becomes larger, people tend to be more dispersed and slowly begin to break away from the original team.
What Zheng Chenggong and the others are waiting for is the situation at this moment. As long as the opponent's lineup is in chaos, they can take the opportunity to get in the middle and massacre wantonly. Yes, this is a one-sided massacre.
After trying hard to crack the formation many times but with no results, King Huai decisively chose to give up. At the same time, he asked for other information as a condition in exchange for their safe departure from here.
This plan of forcibly breaking through the city and taking the emperor to the capital was obviously going to fail. But even so, he had to let the emperor know the current situation in the capital. He believed that even if he didn't move, the emperor himself would be very upset.
Anxious.
Lin Chong was still very interested in the conditions Zhu Changqing wanted to tell him. After all, the other party had just escaped from the capital, and he might know a lot of things that he didn't know yet. Putting these together, he had a
Only with a more complete world structure can we judge what they should prioritize next.
The vassal kings were still greatly damaged in the formation, and it was impossible to make any more waves in the short term. How to deal with them next was also a problem for Lin Chong. If he wanted to take all these prisoners of war
It obviously takes a lot of time and energy to bring it to Nanjing and then digest it internally. He doesn't have so much time and energy now.
On the contrary, if these people are put back, they can ensure local security to a certain extent while not making big waves. Without these people, the local revolting farmers and rebellious bandits will bring extreme consequences to the local area.
Great instability, this instability will give birth to new **.
In order to avoid making matters worse, he still needs these vassal kings to go back and deal with the local peasant uprising and bandit rebellion for the time being. Of course, he cannot express this idea. Even if he has decided to put them back in his heart, he still has to do it on the surface.
Make a very embarrassed look.
Finally, after another hour of stalemate, Lin Chong finally said: "Invite all the vassal kings to come up. I have something to tell them."
Everyone in the formation let out a long breath. They didn’t know what was going on with this ghost formation. No matter which direction they went, the final result was the same. As they walked, they even
None of the people could be found, and many people were killed quietly before they fully understood the situation.
Although it was embarrassing to lose this battle, it was better to be embarrassed than to lose their lives. They never wanted to go through what they had just experienced again.
Therefore, when they heard the emperor's message that he would invite all the feudal princes to come in and have a good talk, they were looking forward to leaving but at the same time they were inevitably anxious in their hearts, fearing that their lives would end up being sacrificed because of his words.
here.
Mu Xi and Mu Mu quickly left the double-layer formation with several feudal princes. Zheng Chenggong watched their backs as they entered Nanjing City from outside, squinting his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
"I heard that you have something to tell me. Now that you have met me, tell me, what is it? Tell me and let me hear if it is worth exchanging your lives and the lives of the soldiers below the city."
"Your Majesty, it is clear to you that we have no intention of causing trouble below, and our current actions are indeed justified."
Lin Chong listened to what he said with a half-smile, and then said slowly: "You have no intention of causing trouble, so what do you mean by chasing after him for so many days?"
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. The situation in the capital has reached an urgent point. The King of Zhou not only controls the government, but also colludes with the Manchus to embezzle our country, Your Majesty!" King Huai said with indignation and tears.
If Lin Chong hadn't clearly remembered his theory of victory and defeat when he was in the capital, he would have thought that this man was an out-and-out loyal man who was worried about the country at this moment.
"We did do something wrong before, and now we know how to repent, but the most important thing now is not the content but the change. We should unite together to deal with the Qing's conspiracy." King Hui also joined in.
