Bai Hu was covered in blood, with a long sword on the ground, and gasped. Looking at the rebels fleeing in front of him, he couldn't help but whisper. "Grandma, this kid is really successful." He fought for half a lifetime, but he was just a general. Zhou Xian was young but ranked high as the governor. He was always a little dissatisfied with this. He always felt that this was because of Emperor Chongzhen's emphasis on Zhou Xian. He never supported this battle from the beginning. But the facts proved that Zhou Xian dared to gamble, and he bet right. In this regard, he had to admit that Zhou Xian was more courageous than him.

At this time, his personal soldiers hurried to him. "General, what you ordered is done."

Bai Xu asked in a low voice: "No trace left, right?"

The personal soldiers said, "Don't worry, they are all the ones who trust the most. At that time, we will announce to the outside world that they were killed by the rebels in the dark, and we will just report one to death. As for Deputy General Qin, as you ordered, he would only be injured, but he would have to be kept for at least a month."

Bai Xu nodded, "You go! No one can know about this."

The personal commander replied: "Don't worry, my subordinates know what to do."

Since Zhou Xian told Bai Xu that there were people placed by the imperial court around him, he had been uneasy. He allowed the imperial court to send a waste to serve as his deputy general on the surface, but did not allow them to install those people in private. He was not Zhou Xian and could not turn a blind eye. In the end, he simply took advantage of this battle to clean up all those people.

As for Zhou Xian, since he told him, he might be happy to see this. He wiped his face randomly with his hand and decided not to consider it anymore. He turned to the left and right and ordered loudly: "The whole army rushed forward and pursued the rebels."

After Liu Zeqing personally led his troops to the expedition, the leader who stayed in Jinan was his nephew Liu Zhimou. Liu Zhimou was different from his brother Liu Zhitang's carelessness. He was bold and meticulous and talented. In order to maintain the stability of Jinan City, Liu Zeqing left 40,000 soldiers for Liu Zhimou, 20,000 of which were his former direct troops and had strong combat power.

When Liu Zeqing's soldiers who were asking for help rushed back, Liu Zhimou was shocked and quickly ordered his generals to order 10,000 elite troops to respond. Everything he had today was obtained by Liu Zeqing. If Liu Zeqing had any accidents, it would be difficult for him to subdue the generals under his command.

After finishing all this, Liu Zhimou went to meet Zhu Yisai.

Zhu Yisect was forced to be the emperor by Liu Zeqing, but after he became emperor, he and Liu Zeqing were one. Although he was dissatisfied with Liu Zeqing's domineeringness, if Liu Zeqing was defeated by the official army, he would inevitably be held accountable by the court. He did not want Liu Zeqing to be defeated, at least not defeated so quickly.

But Liu Zhimou's idea was different from that of the Zhu Yi faction. When he was asked to become emperor, he tried his best to cooperate. Now that Liu Zeqing's war failed, what he was most worried about was that the Zhu Yi faction would sell their uncle and nephew. This time he came, one was to intimidate the Zhu Yi faction and prevent him from acting rashly. The other was to force Zhu Yi faction to issue an order to recruit officials in the city to come. Liu Zhimou could better control them and prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

The Zhu Yisect had no choice but to draft an imperial edict.

After Liu Zhimou got it, he went out and asked to send an order. At the same time, he replaced all the original guards of the Zhu Yi Sect with his people and asked someone to guard the residence where the Zhu Yi Sect was. To be honest, the emperor of the Zhu Yi Sect was also miserable. After ascending the throne, he didn't even have a decent palace. Liu Zeqing only found a larger residence for him to live in, without any emperor's style.

Later, officials came and were locked up by Liu Zhimou. But Liu Zhimou waited for a long time, and in the end, only half of the officials were found. Moreover, it was leaked from somewhere. The news of Liu Zeqing's defeat had spread all over the sky, and Liu Zhimou sent troops out of the city made people more convinced that it was true. The officials and wealthy families in the city surrounded the four gates, and the situation was in chaos.

When Liu Zhimou heard the soldiers' return, he was shocked and quickly sent soldiers to suppress them. He ordered the four gates to be closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit. However, the city was messy and panicked people were everywhere. The soldiers were isolated and scattered everywhere in the city, and the orders were conveyed a little unsmoothly.

Just as Liu Zhimou was in a state of great difficulty, three rockets suddenly rose from the sky. Then countless people wearing the clothes of the guards in the city jumped out of nowhere and raided everywhere, causing chaos. Some of them rushed to the east gate and took advantage of the chaos to kill the guards in the city gate, and welcomed the officials outside the city into the city.

Listening to the shouts of killing everywhere in the city, looking at the officials who were in chaos and quarreling endlessly. Zhu Yipai shook away the ministers who were pulling his sleeves, ignored them, walked straight to the residence in the backyard, and closed the door tightly. In the room, there were the queen of Zhu Yipai, his two sons. There were two, one of the chief ministers who had been with him for many years, and the other one was a small eunuch.

Zhu Yipai nodded to the chief minister, who winked at the eunuch. The two bowed to Zhu Yipai and walked into his study, followed by the sound of pushing the heavy objects.

Zhu Yipai waved, and his two sons rushed forward. "Lin'er, you are the eldest brother. From now on, the father is gone, so you can take good care of your younger brother."

Zhu Honglin's face suddenly changed, "Father, what are you talking about!"

Zhu Yisai smiled dismally, "I'm going to return my father! I'm a joke. I'm going to be coerced by Liu Zeqing in advance and can't do anything. Afterwards, when the court pursued the crime, I was a traitor. If Liu Zeqing got things done, he would kick me away, and if he was defeated, the court wouldn't spare me."

Zhu Honglin frowned, "Father, it won't be that way!"

Zhu Yipai shook his head bitterly, "You are too young, I am really worried about how you live in the future!"

Standing next to Zhu Yipai, his queen began to cry in a low voice.

Zhu Yipai's eyes were also wet. When he saw the chief nodding to him, he wiped his eyes and forced a smile. "Okay, let's not talk, come with me."

Since being trapped here by Liu Zeqing, Zhu Yipai felt deeply uneasy. He and his most trusted Changshi and the eunuch, dug an authentic tunnel in the study room for more than two months. The tunnel was not long, but because his study room was close to the backyard wall, he could pass it to a abandoned house next door.

Zhu Yipai let his two sons hide inside, and then said to Changshi: "Liu Changshi, please give me everything."

Seeing Liu Changshi nodding, Zhu Yipai said to Zhu Honglin again: "Lin'er, there are clothes for ordinary people. You must learn to hide your identity, and it is best not to let anyone know."

Zhu Honglin said: "Father, please go with us!"
