Chapter 395
Wu Sangui surrendered to the emperor, which was one of the top secrets of the Ming Empire. Even at this point, Wang Tiqian did not reveal a word to Li Xiao. Cao Huachun of Xiaoling Guard actually knew about it, and even knew the secret code to contact him.
What shocked Wu Sangui even more was that, according to Cao Huachun, Qian Qianyi also knew.
With so many people knowing, is it still a fucking secret? These people know that it is all a trivial matter. If that old fox Chen Fu gets a whiff of it... he will definitely die without a burial place. Even if his father is Wu Xiang, his uncle is Zu Dashou and he can't save him.
"Hey, your murderous intention has arisen again. Secret things are no longer secrets once more people know about them. Chen Fu is as cunning as a fox. If you let him know, maybe one day the young general will be found out when he walks on the road. There was a shooting. I can guarantee that your father and uncle will never find the murderer.
So! I don’t have much time left for you!”
"I am not a mouse, and you are not a cat. If you want to play tricks on me, your time will stop." Wu Sangui could no longer bear the feeling of a cat catching a mouse, especially since he was still the same mouse. The revolver was pressed against Cao Huachun. Since he is the boss of Xiaoling Guard, he naturally knows the power of the revolver.
"Haha! You know that after you complete a mission, Mr. Qian Ge will find you a suitable place to stay. Since you have been in the army since you were a child, you naturally want to build a country on the battlefield. Mr. Qian Ge said that as long as you accomplish this This is an errand, and the Jiangnan Forbidden Army will give you a division commander to do it. At a young age, you have the opportunity to control a division, which is absolutely impossible in the Liao Army."
Maybe Cao Huachun felt that he had played enough and started serving meat dishes directly. Being able to control a division in his twenties would never be possible in the Liao army. This was infinitely tempting to Wu Sangui, who grew up in a military camp.
"What errand?"
"The errand Mr. Qian Ge asked you to do is...!" Cao Huachun smiled like an old cat.
"How can this be done? If Li Xiu bumps into him, I can't even keep his body." Wu Sangui's face was ferocious.
"Don't worry, Li Xiu will be very busy then. Someone will help you!" Wu Sangui felt that Cao Huachun was transformed into an old cat.
************************************************************************
Wang Tiqian was very happy. He had made a great contribution this time. With Li Xiao's support, not only did the emperor have a place to stay after escaping from Nanjing, but he also had a better chance of winning. Wang Tiqian had unparalleled confidence that the emperor could escape smoothly. .
The difficulty is how to leave Jianghuai all the way after leaving Nanjing. Now with Li Xiao's help, you can go all the way down the Yangtze River. Who doesn't know that the sea is actually the world of the Li family. Five-masted ships plus a large number of them With his artillery, Li Xiu is the overlord of the entire ocean.
All the way south, when approaching Handan, Luzhu said that he was going to Jinan to arrange for Li Xiu to meet him. He would contact Nanjing again, and Wang Tiqian readily agreed. After agreeing on the contact location and password, Wang Tiqian continued south to Luzhu. Zhu went to Shandong.
He hurried very fast when he had something on his mind. Wang Tiqian and his entourage changed their clothes. In order to avoid people recognizing him as a eunuch, he specially put some gray beard on his face.
Further ahead is Zhang Xianzhong's territory. These guys recognize money but not people. As long as you give money, they will let you go. Fortunately, Wang Tiqian has a rich family and there is absolutely no shortage of money. He relied on bribes along the way and quickly crossed Henan.
After crossing the Yangtze River from Jiangyin, he found a helper outside Nanjing and disguised himself again before returning to Nanjing Palace.
Linhu Palace was Zhu Youjian's last piece of territory in Nanjing. All the servants and palace attendants in Linhu Palace were brought from the capital. Even so, Wang Chengen had to pick and choose again and again before choosing. Four chamberlains and two palace servants were appointed to serve him.
At this moment, all the palace servants and chamberlains were driven outside. Only Wang Tiqian, Wang Chengen, Yang Sichang and Luo Yangxing were left in the Linhu Palace. These were the people Zhu Youjian trusted most.
"Long live! Li Shuai is indeed a loyal man. He led the army to defend the capital and repel the powerful enemy. The old slave sneaked into the capital and found that he had sent troops to guard the palace. None of the palace property and the palace people had taken it. Although the palace and the palace were There was occupation, which was a helpless move to quell the plague. The old slave revealed his identity, and Li Shuai was deeply angered by Long Live's encounter in Jinling.
He wanted to raise troops to attack Jinling, but he threw a rat weapon, fearing that Long live would be killed by the traitors. Therefore! He ordered the old slave to sneak back and try to let Long live escape back to the capital. When the time comes for Long live to ascend to the high ground and shout, hundreds of millions of people will surely follow. Jiangnan Donglin , they will become birds and beasts immediately. Qian Qianyi and his like will definitely die without a burial place." Wang Tiqian told Zhu Youjian what happened in the capital, and Zhu Youjian was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Although this guy is greedy for money, Li Xiao is still reliable at critical moments.
"Li Xiao didn't say any conditions?" Yang Sichang was very suspicious that Wang Tiqian had concealed the news. In his impression, Li Xiao was a guy who had no profit and couldn't afford to get early. He usually takes money very seriously, so why was he so happy this time.
"Yang Bingbu, what conditions do you want Li Shuai to put forward?" Wang Tiqian squinted at Yang Sichang. The dignified Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't even move a single soldier. It's not embarrassing enough to say it. That's all, you still have the nerve to say it. Li Xiao?
"Long live! As far as I know, although Li Shuai is greedy for money, he is also doing it to support the army. Judging from all the things this man has to do, he should still be loyal to Long Live." Nowadays, Luo Yangxing's words are more comforting. After all, this guy is a spy, so it is news. A well-informed person. Zhu Youjian was able to save the Linhu Palace entirely because of his five hundred elite guards. This was the only armed force that Zhu Youjian could mobilize.
"Long live this, I also think that Li Shuai is a loyal and righteous man. Besides, Li Shuai has a military background, and his thoughts are far less meticulous than those of literati like Qian Qianyi. Although he is a little greedy for money, he will never be indebted to his loyalty. Lao I think Long live you can trust Li Shuai." Wang Chengen also came to intervene, he was really tired of Nanjing city. Not to mention the freezing cold in winter, staying in the palace with Zhu Youjian was no different from being in jail.
What if I say the wrong thing one day, or if Qian Qianyi, an old thief, doesn't like me, I might be hacked at night! It's better to return to the capital as soon as possible. After all, I have been in the capital all my life, and I am familiar with the heads and the ground. Some.
"Yang Qing, I also feel that in this situation, we still need to rely on Li Xiao. He can properly protect the palace and does not infringe on the royal property. This is enough to prove that he is respectful to me. I have made up my mind and sneaked out of Nanjing secretly. .Returning to the capital, he ordered the world to attack the bandits in Donglin in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wang Tiqian! You and the people sent by Li Xiao will make good arrangements for my return to Beijing. The sooner the better!" Zhu Youjian couldn't stay in Nanjing for a day.
"My slave obeys the order!" Wang Tiqian bowed down habitually.
Wang Tiqian stayed in Nanjing for more than half a month, and then the servant who went shopping brought a letter written by Lu Zhu in code. After receiving the letter, Wang Tiqian was overjoyed. He could finally plan to leave this dangerous city of Nanjing!
In the winter, there were not many tourists walking around Qixia Mountain. The mountains were quiet, with birds flying occasionally, and their chirping was very lively. Luo Yangxing and two highly skilled followers quietly entered Qixia Mountain in disguise.
Entering the mountain, Luo Yangxing began to admire this woman named Luzhu. There was no one in the mountain. If someone wanted to follow her, they would be like lice on a bald man's head, and they could be seen at a glance.
Two cuckoo cries were heard from deep in the jungle, and Luo Yangxing winked at his men. One of them climbed up a big tree very alertly and looked out for the wind.
Seeing Jin Yiwei climbing up the tree, Lu Zhu was so angry that he wanted to shoot the idiot down.
It’s true that you can see far when you climb high, but you’re dressed in fucking black. If you lie on a tree, no one can see you from so far away. If you lie on a tree in broad daylight, even a fool will know that you are showing off. How could Jin Yiwei be so stupid now? In such a situation, where are those men who are as terrifying as murderous gods?
"Commander Luo!" As an old rival, Luzhu had observed Luo Yangxing from a distance more than once. Of course, at that time, he always used the help of telescopes.
"Miss Luzhu!" Luo Yangxing clasped his fists. As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, although he has never seen Luzhu, he has heard of her name for a long time.
"After our inside investigation in Jinling City, we have found that Jinling is now completely controlled by Qian Qianyi's people. The Nanjing Forbidden Army will not obey Yang Shangshu or even Long Live's orders at all. The Linhu Palace and the Li Palace are even controlled by tens of thousands of Nanjing soldiers. The Forbidden Army watched closely. It is absolutely impossible for Banzai to sneak out quietly under the surveillance of tens of thousands of people." Luzhu got straight to the point and told the news he had learned in the past two days.
"I know this matter. I just want to know what Miss Luzhu is planning and how we can cooperate. As long as Long live can leave safely, I will not regret waiting for death." Luo Yangxing is very clear about the current situation, so Not too much nonsense.
"The only chance is to come out of the palace. Without so many people watching, it will be easier for Banzai to come out."
"Where to go?"
"Taichang Temple!"
"Taichang Temple?" Luo Yangxing asked with some confusion.
"Taichang Temple in Nanjing enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of Long Live. In half a month, it will be the day of the Spring Festival. It is understandable that Long Live goes out of the palace to worship at Taichang Temple. According to Taizu's actual records, there is a secret passage underground in Taichang Temple. As long as Long Live enters After taking the secret passage, you can go directly to the river. We only need to arrange the boats on the riverside, and take the boat down the river. My second general will meet you at Wusongkou, and you will be safe when you reach the sea.
Let's go north to Tianjin and we can return to the capital in only half a month."
"Is there a secret passage under Taichang Temple?" Luo Yangxing took a breath of cold air, how did she know such a thing. As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Luo Yangxing didn't even know.
"Not only Taichang Temple, there are also secret passages in the Li Palace. It was just sealed later. Otherwise, how do you think Emperor Jianwen escaped from the Li Palace in the first place?" Luzhu looked at the head of the Jin Yiwei coldly.
"The secret passage of Taichang Temple...!"
"We sent people to investigate last night. With the actual records of Taichang Temple, our people successfully found the entrance to the secret passage. When Long Live enters the temple, our people will hide in the secret passage in advance. As long as Long Live pays Qian Qian
If it’s good, our people will help Wan live and all of you to slip away along the secret passage.”
"If Qian Qianyi comes after him...!"
"Simple! After Banzai entered the secret passage, we blew up the entrance of the secret passage. We didn't even think about cleaning it up for an hour or two. By that time, we had already walked out of the secret passage and came to the riverside to take a boat."
Luo Yangxing nodded. This little girl was really thoughtful. She had already prepared almost everything!
"Thank you so much, girl. Long live the disaster and you will be rewarded!" Luo Yangxing cupped his fists.
"If something unexpected happens, send someone to the alley of Yuhua Street and find the Jiangzhe tavern. Just tell the owner of the tavern that you want two taels of green bamboo leaves to make a pot of tea. He will say that there is no new tea this year, only old tea from last year.
You answer, then don’t change Zhuyeqing to Shifeng Longjing. They will naturally arrange for you to meet me! Do you remember?"
"Remember!" Luo Yangxing clasped his fists, and Lv Zhu also clasped his fists. Both parties quickly retreated and secretly entered the woods.
Seeing the end of the matter, the brother in the tree sniffled and slipped down from the tree.
"Sir, everything is normal and no one is following you." Luo Yangxing met Lv Zhu for only ten minutes in total.
"Let's go! Go back to the palace!"
Returning to Linhu Palace, the same people were there as last time. Luo Yangxing told Luzhu's idea, Wang Tiqian and Wang Chengen applauded, and even Yang Sichang felt that these people could find the secret simply by relying on the records of Taichang Temple in Nanjing.
Tao, it’s really appalling.
Zhu Youjian was also a little surprised!
There is a secret passage in the Imperial Palace in Nanjing, and Zhu Youjian knew about it. At that time, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen relied on the secret passage to escape. There is even a bizarre saying that before Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died, he specially called Zhu Yunwen to him and handed it to him personally.
A key told him that he could open the box when he was in danger, pointed to the nanmu box in the house, and passed away.
The Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was ordered to pacify Nanjing and marched all the way north into Nanjing. In desperation, Zhu Yunwen suddenly thought of the box left by his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang. He took out the key and opened it. Inside was a set of monk's robes and twelve taels of gold.
There is a picture in the corner of the box, which outlines the entrance and structure of the underground palace in detail.
By borrowing this map, Zhu Yunwen escaped with his life under Zhu Di's knife.
Although he knew that this thing was far from reliable, Zhu Youjian still liked hearing such stories since he was a child. He never expected that he would become an emperor today.
There was no news after Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi escaped, and people could not even know his life and death. Zhu Di directly included him on the death list and told the people that he died in the palace fire.
"Okay! As long as I can escape from Jinling City, what if I escape even once!" Zhu Youjian stood up straight, his words were quite heroic.
Chapter completed!
