Chapter 38 The King Meets the King
The prison of Hangzhou magistrate’s yamen.
Niu San sat in the dark and damp cell, chewing the dead grass pulled off the mat in his mouth, and was bored and dazed.
He was ordered by Lu Ruoteng to be detained specifically, so he was the only one in the cell.
Because of Zhang Yinli’s special explanation, the yamen runners were very strict with him and would come to visit him from time to time.
At the entrance of the prison, Chen Hongfan was carrying wine and food, and was almost in line with the guard. But no matter what he said, the guard just refused to let him in. Even if he showed the Lu Wang token, the guard was like a fool, and he couldn't do it anyway.
At this time, another person came from afar.
"Stop, who are you?" the guard asked irritably. He had received the death order from the prefect Zhang Yinli. Except for the Rubu governor, Governor Zhang, and the prefect, no one else was allowed to visit Niu San.
"I am the Zhejiang Censor Ren Tianan, and I want to personally examine Niu San." Ren Tianan said slowly and anxiously.
"Sir, forgive me for your crime. The superiors have a life, so they are not allowed to visit me!" The guard said.
Seeing that the other party was not in trouble, Chen Hongfan dared to stop the censor, so he stopped entangling. He turned around and saluted Ren Tianan, and hurriedly left.
Ren Tianan glanced at Chen Hongfan strangely, turned around and followed behind him.
There were no people in the streets and alleys, only a team of patrol soldiers passed by Chen Hongfan.
After many twists and turns, Chen Hongfan came to a secret corner where there were miscellaneous items from unknown people.
"Ahem!"
Chen Hongfan coughed twice, and a figure flashed out from the corner. It was the crazy little beggar.
"How is it?" asked the little beggar.
"Even I can't get in, the guard is too tight." Chen Hongfan put down the food box in his hand and said helplessly.
"Niu San has been in contact with you, you can do it yourself." The beggar said coldly.
Chen Hongfan was about to say something when suddenly the beggar's eyes sterned and he looked behind him.
He was shocked, and Chen Hongfan hurriedly turned around and ran towards the corner. As soon as he poked his head out, he saw an obese figure running away with difficulty.
Just as Chen Hongfan was about to chase after him, a sharp sword suddenly wiped his face and hit the man's back.
After staggering for a few steps, the fat body fell to the ground and stopped moving.
The beggar put down the exquisite military crossbow in his hand expressionlessly, glared at Chen Hongfan coldly, turned around and walked to the corner of the alley, and hid the crossbow in.
"Prince Yu has arrived outside the city. Are your people ready?"
Chen Hongfan replied with a very ugly expression: "Just wait for Zhu Dadian to find a way to transfer me to the city gate."
"There is no time left, neither Zhu Dadian nor Ma Shiying can be reliable." The little beggar said anxiously.
"What should I do? Your people can't hide the list of Niu San for long." Chen Hongfan spread his hands and said helplessly.
The little beggar was silent. Niu San's list now made them very passive and had to start taking action in advance. Although the Lu Wang seemed to have no action, he thought this was the most unsettling thing.
"It's really hard to understand. Forget it. When the army starts to attack the city from three sides, we will force the city gate and lead the army into the city."
Chen Hongfan nodded and turned around and walked towards the corpse.
Before he could walk up to him, he had already identified who this was, and it was the Censor Ren Tianan!
Chen Hongfan was so shocked that he turned his head and looked in the direction where the little beggar left, and then panickedly observed it, thinking in his heart that something was wrong.
After being stunned for a while, Chen Hongfan did not dare to stay for a long time and ran away from the scene.
......
"The regent, this place is too dangerous, you might as well please go back!"
When Zhang Guowei heard that Prince Lu had arrived at the city in person, he was shocked and hurriedly ran down the city to stop him.
Zhu Changqing waved his hand and said to Zhang Guowei: "Yu Xie, I only went up for a moment, said a few words and left!"
Seeing that King Lu was firm and thought about it, Zhang Guowei came to the country in person, probably to boost the morale of the army, so he stopped stopping, but just carefully reminded the guards around him to protect him.
Upon climbing to the city, the guards held shields in front and guarded Zhu Changqing tightly behind.
The first wave of the Qing army's impact was easily repelled, and they are now preparing for the second round of impact.
Every two steps, Zhu Changqing heard Fang Guoan shouting excitedly in a thick voice: "It's better if we have a general artillery, just fuck him directly."
On the corridor, the wounded soldiers were all over the ground moaning in pain.
There were constant civilians carrying the bodies down to the top of the city.
The blood stained the bluestone red.
"Dear soldiers, the supervisor is here to see you!" Zhang Guowei's angrily sank the Dantian and shouted loudly, resounding across the city.
Fang Guoan, who was laughing wildly over there, heard the sound and hurried over. He was about to salute, but Zhu Changqing pulled him up.
"No need to be polite!"
"Thank you, the Jianguo!"
Fang Guoan couldn't help but admire the Lu King in front of him. He dared to come to the city personally. Seeing such a formation, his face remained unchanged, which was indeed different from the many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.
When the soldiers on the city wall saw that it was King Lu who was here in person, they couldn't help but feel very excited and shouted in unison: "Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
The earth-shaking shouts alarmed the Qing army under the city.
Liu Liangzuo hurriedly ran to the front of the formation to check.
After observing for a while, he determined that it must be the Ming Dynasty's governor's country, otherwise how could the Ming army be so excited?
Now it was even more difficult to attack. In one round of attacks, the three thousand front troops were cut in half, which made Liu Liangzuo feel so distressed.
But now the Eight Banners masters are watching from behind, and it is impossible for him to not attack.
"Report! Prince Yu is about to come before the battle in person!"
Liu Liangzuo looked back in shock and saw that Duoduo, wearing white flag armor and riding a white horse, was slowly moving towards the front of the formation under the crowd of generals of all sizes.
The king meets the king!
