At dawn, Zhilan got up, washed up, and started packing Li Zhen's luggage.
After tidying up, it was already dawn.
In the courtyard, Li Zhen and Zhi Lan held hands and looked at each other, talking quietly.
He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to take the packed baggage from Zhilan's hand, his eyes fell on Zhilan's bulging belly, he reached out and touched it gently, as if touching two little guys, Li Zhen squatted He came down and murmured in a low voice: "Good son, you must be obedient and don't torment your mother. Just be obedient."
Zhi Lan had tears in her eyes after hearing Li Zhen's words.
Reluctant to part with it.
She was reluctant to leave Li Zhen.
Li Zhenxu murmured for a while, then stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Zhilan's catkins, and said softly: "I will definitely come back before the child is born, and I will definitely see the child being born, and wait for me to come back. "
Zhilan nodded heavily, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
She has thousands of words to say, but she has no words to say.
Li Zhen was also deeply reluctant to leave, but he had to leave. He gritted his teeth, let go of Zhilan's hand, turned and walked out of the yard. Zhilan finally couldn't help it anymore, and rushed to the door of the yard like flying, shouting loudly Said: "Husband, come back early."
Li Zhen stopped, but did not look back.
He stood there and paused for a moment, then walked forward without looking back.
It’s not that I don’t want to look back, it’s that I don’t know how to face it.
Li Zhen felt a little depressed, but he still cheered up and came to the hall with a smile. At this time, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Huang Qiang, Yang Banhou and twenty special forces from the Jian Dao Battalion were already ready. They were all hiding He was a three-pointed thorn, with a gun on his back and a ready formation, waiting for Li Zhen to speak.
"Set off."
Li Zhen gave the order, and everyone immediately turned around and walked out into the hall.
"Wait a minute."
When Li Zhen led everyone out, an old voice came from behind. Li Zhen looked back and found Guiliang striding out. Guiliang looked serious and said unhurriedly: "Zhilan is here." I'm pregnant, so it's not appropriate to send you off. I have free time today, so I'll give you a ride myself. I hope that after you rebuild the Jiangbei camp, you can wipe out the bandits as soon as possible and reunite with your wife and children."
Li Zhen nodded and did not refuse.
The group of people left the Shangshu Mansion and ran towards the city gate.
Arriving at the city gate, Li Zhen found a group of people waiting here.
The leader was the 14th Young Master of Dongcheng. He was waiting at the city gate with more than ten followers. Seeing Li Zhen coming on horseback, the 14th Young Master immediately went up to meet him and said with a smile: "Brother Li is leaving Beijing and taking office. Why didn't you inform me? After all, you and I are friends who share weal and woe. Now that you are leaving Beijing, how can I not give you a ride?"
Li Zhen smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Young Master Fourteenth."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rumble of horse hooves came from the city again.
Immediately, more than ten people appeared in sight.
Li Zhenxun called out and found that the person who came was the eunuch Han Laiyu. He was neatly dressed and came with more than ten followers. Han Laiyu rode up to Li Zhen and stopped in front of him. He flicked the fly whisk in his hand and said with a smile: "Admiral Li, The emperor was thinking of you leaving today, so he specially asked the Za family to see you off. The emperor said that his promise to you will not change, and he hopes that you can wipe out the bandits."
A trace of doubt flashed between Guiliang's eyebrows, wondering what Xianfeng had promised.
Li Zhen expressed his thanks, talked to Han Laiyu for a while, and then rode out of the city. The group of people galloped quickly outside the city for about fifteen minutes. Guiliang, the Fourteenth Young Master, and Han Laiyu were all following, and they still didn't stop. With the intention of returning to Beijing, Li Zhen stopped, looked at the three people following him, clasped his fists and said, "Father-in-law, Eunuch Han, and my fourteenth brother, please send them here."
The Fourteenth Young Master chuckled and shook his head and said: "Brother Li, I have nothing to do today. I'll see you off as a trip out of the city. Come on, I'll see you off again. Anyway, I have plenty of time." After a pause, the Fourteenth Young Master said Looking at Han Laiyu and Guiliang, he continued: "Master Guiliang and Eunuch Han are busy with their affairs, so there is no need to send them off. I will send them off by myself."
Guiliang shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do, so I'll give you another section."
Han Laiyu saw that Guiliang and the Fourteenth Young Master were going to continue seeing off, and it was definitely impossible for him to retreat, so he said loudly: "Let's go, it's rare for the Za family to leave the palace and take a good look at the mountains and rivers outside Beijing."
Seeing that all three of them insisted, Li Zhen stopped trying to persuade them and continued to move forward.
An hour later, Li Zhen stopped.
It is already some distance away from Beijing. If I send it again, I don’t know where it will be sent. Especially since Han Laiyu has to go back to the palace to pay errands, it is not an option to follow him all the time. Li Zhen clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, just send it here. Go back and pick it up." Come down, my men and I will go on the road with all our strength. The sooner we arrive in Guangzhou, the sooner we can lead the troops north to suppress the bandits."
Guiliang glanced at the surrounding environment, nodded slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said: "In that case, I will send you here. I wish you a safe journey and wipe out the bandits as soon as possible."
The Fourteenth Young Master said: "Brother Li, have a good trip."
Han Laiyu opened his mouth to speak, but heard Yang Banhou yell: "Be careful, there is a group of men in black appearing in front." This sentence immediately made all the soldiers vigilant. Everyone looked around and saw a group of people in front of them. Men in black, these men in black are all running on foot, holding long swords. There are not many of them, about twenty or so.
When Han Laiyu saw this, he became vigilant.
He was secretly angry, but he didn't expect to encounter an assassin at this time.
The Fourteenth Young Master shouted: "Be careful."
When Guiliang saw this, his expression was calm, without any panic. Instead, a smile flashed across his face. He saw the soldiers under Li Zhen's command who were already on alert, and ordered in a deep voice: "Hongyi, capture him alive. I want to see who it is." Dare to assassinate my son-in-law."
Han Laiyu also said: "Yes, we need to arrest them alive to see who is so eager to die."
Li Zhen nodded and ordered: "Capture them all alive and leave some alive."
After getting the order, Huang Qiang and Yang Banhou gave up the charge on horseback, and led the soldiers from the Sharp Knife Battalion to dismount and fight. They all carried their guns, took out their guns, installed bayonets, and then rushed forward quickly. Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan looked at each other. Looking at it, he nodded secretly, got off his horse and rushed forward.
Compared with the rest of the people, the two old men were bare-handed and did not use weapons.
Han Laiyu frowned and said: "Admiral Li, why are these two old men joining in the fun? If something goes wrong between them, it will affect the capture of these men in black alive."
Guiliang also said in a deep voice: "Hongyi, let the two of them come back immediately."
Li Zhen chuckled and shook his head: "Eunuch Han, father-in-law, don't underestimate these two old men. They will definitely be more powerful than the soldiers under my command, so there will be no problem."
The two of them looked doubtfully at Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan.
At this time, Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan had already rushed in front of the man in black. Although they were old, they were strong and strong, no weaker than the young people, and they rushed in instantly.
This situation shocked both Han Laiyu and Guiliang.
Yang Luchan rushed into the men in black, clenched his palms into fists, or moved blocks and hammers, or used cannon hammers. Every punch was very powerful. Once he punched out, a man in black fell down immediately. He was walking in the dark. Among the men in black, he seemed to be wandering in his own backyard, without encountering any obstruction, walking freely among the men in black.
"Old man, suffer death."
A man in black yelled and stabbed Yang Luchan with his sword.
"Boy, you're too far behind."
Yang Luchan's eyes flashed, his hands formed into palms, and he clamped the sword blade in his palms like lightning, making the man in black unable to move his sword. He leaned forward and swung out his hands instantly.
"Snapped,."
Yang Luchan slapped the man in black with his palm, causing him to fall to the ground and pass out.
On the other side, Dong Haichuan is also extremely fierce.
Dong Haichuan stepped on the Bagua and continuously shuttled among the men in black. His Bagua boxing was unpredictable, light and agile, but had huge lethality. He only heard the sound of snapping, and he fell down in the blink of an eye. After killing four or five men in black, the combat effectiveness of Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan was no less than that of twenty soldiers from the Jian Dao Battalion.
This situation surprised Guiliang and Han Laiyu even more.
The soldiers of the Sharp Blade Battalion were not as evil as Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, but they were equally powerful. They rushed into the men in black and immediately suppressed them, defeating the men in black like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
In less than three minutes, all the men in black fell.
Li Zhen said: "Bring people here."
Immediately, all the men in black who assassinated him were arrested.
Li Zhen asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, who asked you to assassinate me."
All the men in black remained silent and did not speak.
Guiliang interrupted and said: "The one you assassinated was the Admiral, and he deserves to be punished. If you explain the matter clearly, you may avoid death. If you insist on not explaining, not only will you be executed, but your family will also be implicated. You There are more than 20 people, and there are always one or two who have relatives. I hope you will think carefully and don't cause tragedy just because of a mistake."
"I said, I said, Bede asked us to do it."
Among the men in black, one suddenly said loudly.
After Guiliang heard this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. The change in his expression was not hidden from Li Zhen. This made Li Zhen very strange, especially when Li Zhen saw the expression on Guiliang's face, his heart skipped a beat. This matter He didn't know what was going on, but it must have something to do with Guiliang, because Guiliang wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Du Han.
Li Zhen's heart went cold when he thought of this.
This old man can really pull off anything.
Li Zhen didn't want to stay any longer and said, "Father-in-law, I'll leave them to you. I'll take my leave."
Han Laiyu interrupted and said: "Admiral Li, go on your way. The Za family will report this matter to the emperor and seek justice for Admiral Li, so that those who deserve to be punished will be punished."
Han Laiyu and Li Zhen stood on the same boat and also planned to help Li Zhen.
Li Zhen heard this and immediately expressed his gratitude.
If this matter got into the hands of the emperor, it would be impossible to settle the matter. Xianfeng placed his hope on Li Zhen to exterminate the bandits. This is the most important thing for Xianfeng at the moment. Bede's assassination of Li Zhen regardless of the overall situation has violated Xianfeng's taboo. In Xianfeng In his eyes, everything must be postponed before the bandits are suppressed. Now Bede takes action, touching Xianfeng's bottom line.
Li Zhen was the key to Xianfeng's suppression of bandits, and he would not allow anyone to harm Li Zhen.
It is foreseeable that Bader will be severely punished, and Duhan and others will also be implicated.
