Chapter 427: Entering the wolf's den again
The violently shaking carriage woke up the sleepy Zhu Youjian. He had thick dark circles and looked very tired.
The former Emperor of the Ming Empire is now lying in a carriage. He has lost his sense of time in recent days and is unclear how long it has been since the fall of the capital.
"Have we left the capital?" Zhu Youjian said in the carriage.
The imperial capital fell. After Zhu Youjian was knocked out, he was hidden in the capital by these eunuchs until someone helped him, and then he escaped from the imperial capital controlled by the Dashun Army. In a family disguised as a fleeing family, Zhu Youjian could no longer use the etiquette in the palace and did not dare to claim to be me.
"Young Master, we have entered Tianjin Acropolis." The voice of the little eunuch came from outside the carriage.
"Finally arrived in Tianjin to guard?" Zhu Youjian lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the low house outside. He was undoubtedly entering a dirt city.
Originally, this was a dirt city, with some Ming army guarding the capital. After so many years of development, it was almost as large as a county town.
However, there are many soldiers wearing new military uniforms on the street. Their uniforms are not as bulky as armor, and they are basically light cotton. Although their defense capabilities seem to be better than nothing, they are fit and energetic.
"These soldiers are not dressed in our Ming Dynasty's guards. Are they from the Liao army?!"
Zhu Youjian was surprised. The Refuting Liao army had not participated in the struggle within the pass in the past few months. Although Li Zicheng had a shadow of the Refuting Liao army behind him, the Refuting Liao army had never participated directly. Just looking at the scene like Tianjin Wei, it is estimated that the Refuting Liao army will finally compete for the world.
"What a good guy, this is a fisherman who is fighting against snipe and clams," Zhu Youjian murmured to himself, figuring out the joints.
His head was still dizzy and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
Several small eunuchs following the carriage drove the carriage around the city, and walked around alleys and stopped in front of a large courtyard.
"You finally arrived as promised." A woman in a simple military uniform was waiting outside the yard.
"My lady, can you guarantee that you won't hurt Your Majesty?" A little eunuch asked tremblingly when he saw the legendary woman.
"Besides us, do you think anyone can rescue you from the Forbidden City? If we want Zhu Youjian to die, he will not be alive at all." The woman said, "Okay, you did a very good job in this matter. Each of you can get a reward of 200 taels of silver and be protected by our Restoration Army. After we quell the rebellion of the thieves, we will send you back to our hometowns and spend your old age. You will be rotten in your stomach. Once any rumors spread, you will die without a place to bury, do you know?"
"We understand." Several young eunuchs said timidly.
The woman asked someone to take out a few silver notes and hand them over to a few eunuchs.
"Sir, which banknote is the silver note from this?" the little eunuch took the strange silver note and asked.
"This is the banknote of our Jiuzhou Bank. Soon, Jiuzhou Bank will be opened to various prefectures and counties. You can get it with the ticket. Now you should still have cash on it, so you can last for a few months, right?" the woman said.
"Yes...yes..." Several young eunuchs took the silver notes from Jiuzhou Bank in a doubt and carefully put them in their arms.
Then they were taken down by soldiers from the Restoration Army to be placed. The emperor who served like a god was sleeping in the carriage at this time, and was betrayed by the slaves they trusted the most.
The woman lifted the curtain of the carriage, saw the emperor inside, then clapped her hands and called a minister who surrendered to the Liao army in advance: "Come here and see if it is Emperor Chongzhen here."
"It's indeed Your Emperor... It's Zhu Youjian." This minister was so scared that his face was pale when he saw His Majesty the emperor who was once high and wearing ordinary clothes and becoming a prisoner of the Restoration Army. "What do you want to do to Zhu Youjian?"
"Our military commander wants to see him. If this matter is revealed in half, be careful to kill the nine clans." The woman said to the minister after she was convinced that the carriage was indeed Emperor Chongzhen.
"I dare not..." The minister suddenly felt a chill behind his back. Damn, this is a problem. He didn't want to know such a secret if he beat him to death.
"Ala, don't scare him, I believe he will keep the secret until death." Chu Yun walked out and said.
"I have met the military leader... the military leader!" The minister was shocked and quickly bowed to Chu Yun.
This yard, which is not big, gathers two of the most powerful people in the past and future of the empire, one is Zhu Youjian, and the other is Chu Yun! Compared to Zhu Youjian, an acquaintance, the minister is more afraid of the unknown Chu Yun.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a true dragon emperor. Can I still eat people?" Chu Yun waved his hand, "According to the system of the previous dynasty, I am still the general of Liaodong, with a similar rank to you."
"How dare you..." The minister continued to tremble, "The military leader has the control of 100,000 elite troops to enter the pass and compete with the Central Plains. He will soon become the common ruler of the world. How could I, like the old ministers of the previous dynasty, be able to cling to me?"
"You go ahead for the time being, I want to talk to Zhu Youjian." Chu Yun said.
"Yes." said the minister.
Zhu Youjian was erected from the carriage by soldiers from the Restoration Army and carried it into the compound.
"I won't kill him, will I?" Chu Yun saw Zhu Youjian who had no movement.
"It shouldn't be. The people from our intelligence department bribed these eunuchs during the crisis and asked them to add sleep-aid medicine to Zhu Youjian's meals, so he was drowsy most of the time. Otherwise, he would be afraid that he would cause something. The capital controlled by Li Zicheng would not be so easy to escape." Ella said.
After Zhu Youjian was arrested by Chu Yun, he asked someone to take a basin of clear water and pour it on him directly.
He woke up in a daze and saw several people appearing in front of him. One of them was probably a few years older than him, surrounded by others like stars and moonlight. There was also a woman and several fully armed officers. These people looked at him like they were looking at some rare animal, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Who are you? Why do you tie me?" Zhu Youjian saw that he was tied with a rope and looked like a prisoner. The next moment he came to his senses, his face turned as if he was ashen.
Tianjin Wei was controlled by the Refu Liao Army, so the only one who could accurately discover that he entered the city and captured him was probably the only one who could accurately detect that he had entered the city.
"Fu Liao Army, you are from the Fu Liao Army! Have you also caught Xiao Guizi and the others? Have you killed them?" Zhu Youjian shouted.
