After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Zhu Yushuo immediately came to the side hall and discussed in detail with Kuang Tianyou and the others what situations they might encounter after arriving at the camp and how to deal with them.

After discussion, the xenon portable lamp was put into a small wooden box and Fei Zhen'e carried it away from Wuying Hall.

At this time, the sun in the sky was already very far to the west, and it was slightly dim.

The sun shines through the smoke and dust, stretching the figures of Zhu Yuluo and his party very long...

outside the city.

Li Zicheng was still staying on the third floor of the restaurant, but he was not as angry as he was in the afternoon.

Seeing that all the battalions of Dashun Army suffered heavy losses in the siege battle, but still failed to enter the inner city, Li Zicheng was already considering whether to let each battalion withdraw their troops and wait until the large siege equipment was in place tonight before attacking.

But it's not easy for him to speak directly, he still needs to go down a step.

He looked at Li Yan.

As long as Li Yan persuades him again, he will follow the steps and order the troops to retreat.

It's a pity that Li Yan didn't seem to notice his eyes, he was looking in the direction of the inner city in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Report——!"

As soon as the ordering soldiers came shouting, they rode up on horseback. They turned over and dismounted under the restaurant, handed over an ordering flag and loudly said: "Your Majesty, please suspend the war between the officers and soldiers, saying that the princess will be sent to negotiate!"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng was still stunned to digest the information. Niu Jinxing couldn't help pointing downwards and yelled: "What officers and soldiers? I, Dashun, are hostile to them. They are officers and soldiers. Could it be that we are the bandit army?"

As he spoke, Niu Jinxing was going to make a long speech quoting scriptures. Li Zicheng, who had recovered his senses, quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, Prime Minister Niu, let me ask him a question."

Niu Jinxing hurriedly bowed to Li Zicheng and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Li Zicheng waved his hand, looked at the messenger downstairs, and asked, "What did they want to talk about?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, I don't think I said anything."

Li Zicheng frowned, then relaxed.

Anyway, he originally wanted to find a way to withdraw his troops. Since Chongzhen wanted to negotiate, he would just negotiate.

But it is unusual for Chongzhen to send a princess here.

Could it be that depression used Li Zicheng as a honey trap for him?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but twist his lips, showing a strange smile, and said: "Well, I think we can talk to them, and withdraw the troops."

After speaking, he took out a command flag and handed it to Li Laiheng upstairs.

Many of Dashun's generals were illiterate, so they mostly relied on oral messages to convey orders.

Oral messages cannot be proven without proof, and the flags of various generals are the proof.

Li Zicheng's general orders were also conveyed by flags, but generally young generals from the Children's Camp were used to convey orders, which was more reliable.

After Li Laiheng got the order flag, he immediately went downstairs and rode towards the north with the order soldier.

Not long after, the sound of golden bells spread throughout all the camps of the Chuang Army.

The invading troops who were attacking the city retreated like a tide when they heard the sound.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were about to lose their support on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. Many people sat softly in the bloody water, leaning against the city wall and corpses, never wanting to think about it again...

Buzz~

A dull sound sounded from Zhengyang Gate, but the extremely thick copper door slowly opened.

In addition to a group of armored and sharp Ming army soldiers, there were five people standing at the front of the city gate cave, none other than Zhu Yuluo and his party.

"call--"

Amidst the dust, Zhu Ayao took a deep breath and almost choked.

Then he slowly spit it out and said, "Let's go."

There were no flags and no guards of honor, so Princess Zhu Yusuo of Kunxing in the Ming Dynasty walked out of Zhengyang Gate with four people and walked towards Chuangjun.

The person responsible for attacking the south wall of the inner city was Li Guo, the general of the rear camp, assisted by some soldiers and horses from the middle camp led by Liu Zongmin.

Seeing several figures walking out of Zhengyang Gate, Liu Zongmin, who was riding alongside Li Guo, said, "Seeing that the city is about to be destroyed, I wonder what kind of talk King Chuang has with the officers and soldiers."

Li Guo squinted his eyes slightly to look at the person walking in the smoke, and said: "It's a good idea to have a chat. It will give the soldiers a rest. When the siege equipment is in place after dinner, we can break the city in one fell swoop."

Liu Zongmin nodded and looked at the approaching figures.

When he saw that the leader was really a woman, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You said that Chongzhen was very mean. He actually sent the princess to negotiate. Could it be that he wanted to recruit King Chuang as his son-in-law?"

Nowadays, there are not many people in the army who dare to make fun of Li Zicheng like this, Liu Zongmin is one of them.

After hearing this, Li Guo said seriously: "Your Majesty, you can just say this in front of me, but don't say it in front of His Majesty."

Liu Zongmin said indifferently: "Is there anything we can't say? Even if King Chuang accepts the princess, he can still rule the world. At worst, Chongzhen will be spared his life."

Li Guo saw that Liu Zongmin refused to listen and was worried that he would go too far, so he simply stopped answering.

Liu Zongmin found it boring and stopped talking.

Not long after, when he saw the five people walking in front of the military formation, Li Guo rode his horse forward and asked loudly: "Is this the princess?"

Fei Zhen'e spoke up for Zhu Ainao: "It is Zhu Ainao, Princess Kunxing of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Guo looked carefully and did not think that these five people could threaten the invading army, so he charged forward with a group of elite cavalry.

Suddenly smoke and dust flew up and the ground trembled

Zhu Yuluo had never experienced such a scene before. Her palms were sweating, her throat was dry, and she was uncontrollably afraid.

But she remembered the heavy responsibility she shouldered, so she only held the inside of her cloak with her hands and looked directly at the leader of the pair of elite knights.

A weather-beaten general with a beard, his face could not be said to be evil, but he was still intimidating.

Seeing this man charging towards him on horseback, with only four or five steps left, Zhu Aona resisted and did not retreat.

She didn't believe that the other party would just kill her.

Sure enough, when the general of the intruder army pulled the reins, the horse stood upright and stopped steadily four or five steps away.

The Jingqi behind them separated flexibly like fish in the water and surrounded the five people.

Immediately, the general dismounted his horse, raised his fist towards Zhu Yuyao, and said, "This is General Li Guo of Dashunzhi. I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Guo looked a little curious.

This was the first time he saw the princess of Ming Dynasty.

He didn't have the slightest awe, after all, they had even killed Prince Fu of the Ming Dynasty, and killed countless other vassal kings and other members of the Zhu Ming clan.

Zhu Aaao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and clasped her fists and said: "General Li, please take me to see King Chuang."

Zhu Yuluo had carefully considered the issue of address.

It is certainly not allowed to admit Li Zicheng's identity as Emperor Dashun, but it is also not good to call him by his first name, lest he be beaten to death by a bad-tempered intruder before he even sees Li Zicheng.

So calling him King Chuang is the best choice.

Li Guo saw that Princess Kunxing was only in her teens and was a very beautiful woman, so he didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded immediately and led the way.

From time to time, he looked back at Zhu Yu'e and the others, noticing the bad behavior of Kuang Tianyou and the others, and also noticed the small box Fei Zhen'e was carrying.

So he asked as he walked: "I wonder what Her Majesty, the Princess, wants to talk to us about? If it comes to surrender, Your Majesty has given us a chance before."

Zhu Yasuo smiled and said: "I am here to present the treasure this time. I only hope that King Chuang will give him another chance to formally negotiate after seeing the treasure."

treasure?

Li Guo looked at the small wooden box Fei Zhen'e was carrying again.

He secretly guessed what kind of treasure was in the wooden box, but unfortunately he had no clue.

So he asked directly: "I wonder what kind of treasure it is?"

Zhu Aao said: "It is a rare treasure. When I present it to King Chuang, the general will naturally know about it."

Rare treasure?

Li Guo was even more confused.

Then he didn't ask any more questions, and just walked like this for a while, before taking Zhu Yu'a and his entourage to the restaurant where Li Zicheng was.

Then he stood in front of the steps of the restaurant, looked at Zhu Ailao with a smile, and said: "Your Highness the Princess, the weapons of your three followers will be temporarily put away. In addition, her wooden boxes will also need to be checked first."

Fei Zhen'e spoke up first: "This is a treasure that is dedicated to King Chuang. How can I let you look at it and touch it randomly?"

Li Guo smiled and said nothing.

Zhu Yasuo frowned slightly, and then said: "Okay, you can see it, but don't break it."

Li Guo immediately waved his hand.

So one person beside him went to collect the weapons of Kuang Tianyou and the others, while the other went with Li Laiheng to check the small wooden box Fei Zhen'e was carrying.
