Chang Yongnian on the side immediately said in a loud voice: "The last general swears to protect the queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded at him, but he still didn't feel very relieved, and pointed to Zheng Chenggong and said to Queen Zeng: "The general surnamed Guo is skilled in battle, and I will leave him with three dragon guards, which is fully protected." ”

Zhu Linmiao can be sure that as long as Zheng Chenggong is there, he will give him three companies of hussars plus more than 20 of his own personal soldiers to defend the city, and it will be no problem to resist 500 Jianjiao, not to mention thousands of Ming troops.

Empress Zeng frowned slightly, and complained a little about King Chen bringing back the son of a national thief, but King Chen trusted this person so much, she couldn't help King Chen, so she reluctantly nodded, "Then there will be General Lao." ”

Zheng Chenggong saw that King Chen had helped him regain the trust of the royal family, and immediately said excitedly: "Minister, never give up!" ”

Empress Zeng was only concerned about the safety of Longwu, and urged, "There are two generals in Changting who are very safe, please ask King Chen to lead the army south." ”

"The minister will obey the decree."

After leaving the back hall, Zhu Linmiao immediately remembered that in history, the five hundred Qing troops changed into the clothes of the Ming army and deceived the Changting City Gate, and rushed in to shoot Longwu to death in the mansion. At present, Li Chengdong and Nushan's two Jianyu cavalry are exactly about 500 people, so they must be guarded against.

He was busy telling Huang Daozhou, Chang Yongnian, Zheng Chenggong and others repeatedly, saying that Jianyu would pretend to be Jianchang's Ming army to break the army and deceive the city gate. Therefore, unless the holy car returns, no one should be put into the city in the near future.

Although Huang Daozhou and the others were surprised that King Chen could predict the tricks of Jianyu, they still promised one after another.

Empress Zeng sent Zhu Linmiao all the way to the gate of the mansion, and kept telling him to protect the saint.

……

As the horses galloped wildly, they violently bumped and pulled dozens of wounds on Jiang Zhengxi's body, and finally woke him up from pain.

He was tied to the saddle, and if he hadn't done that, he would have fallen from his horse. The blood that flowed from the wound covered his eyes, and the whole world turned blood-red, filled with endless horror and desolation.

He wished it was all a dream, but the sharp pain in his body reminded him that it had all been born.

Just this morning, he escorted the holy chariot to the upper reaches of Tingshui, and was about to cross the river, when a soldier reported that there were several light horsemen nearby. He sent someone to investigate, but nothing was unusual, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Unexpectedly, when the men and horses were crossing the river, they heard the sound of trumpets nearby, and a group of Jianyu cavalry rushed out of nowhere, screaming and killing, and attacked his troops in Bandu.

Jiang Zhengxi knew that the previous ones must be Jianyu scouts. But it was too late, the hundreds of Ming troops who had not crossed the river were defeated almost instantly, and he led more than 40 personal soldiers to fight desperately to fight a bloody road, escorting the emperor's chariot to desperately escape from the encirclement.

Hundreds of horsemen were in hot pursuit, arrows were like locusts, and there were fewer and fewer henchmen around him.

When he saw that he was being pursued, he suddenly saw a small city in front of him.

Waiting to gallop to the city, but seeing the two big words "Yi Cheng" on the city gate, Jiang Zhengxi shouted and ordered the city gate to be opened, but the city guards saw that the cavalry of the brigade not far away was killed, and they were afraid to accept it.

Jiang Zhengxi had to continue to escort and flee for his life, passing through two cities along the way, and the guards of the city were all closed at the gates. Even when he shouted that it was a holy car, the people at the head of the city remained unmoved.

has been running wildly for most of the day, and it has reached a distance of fifty miles from Changting, Jiang Zhengxi's horse under his crotch is still foaming at the mouth, and he himself is almost unconscious due to serious injuries due to several times of turning back to resist the enemy, and the other guards have already died.

The next time the captives arrive, there will be no one to stop the enemy from buying time for the holy car.

Seeing this, Zhu Yujian ordered Pang Tianshou to stop driving, get out of the car, and saw that Jiang Zhengxi, who was already unconscious, was still holding the handle of the knife, and couldn't help sighing, stepped forward to break his hand, took off the saber, and looked up to the sky and said: "The general has died for me many times, and he has fought to the end of his strength." This time, I will break off for the general, with the friendship of all monarchs and ministers! ”

He asked people to unload the horses that pulled the cart - these horses were just pulling the cart, and they still had some physical strength - and then helped Jiang Zhengxi to get on the horse, seeing that he could no longer sit steadily, he had to tie the horse with a rope, and ordered a little eunuch to take Jiang Zongbing to Changting, "The intention of the thief is all in me, I am here, and the thief will not wait." ”

He sent Jiang Zhengxi away, turned around and said with a miserable smile: "The Ming Dynasty is prosperous because of loyalty, defeat because of treachery, and decline because of mediocrity," and looked up at the sky again, and said with tears, "In the past, Emperor Taizu Gao swept away Hu Yan, unified the region, and Emperor Cheng Zuwen was powerful and powerful. And I have been in the unification for ten months, the filial piety tomb is gone, and the people are uneasy. The text follows the inside, the military disturbs the outside, the great cause of Zhongxing is unprovoked, and there is no face to see the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs......"

He retracted his gaze, pointed the tip of his knife at the thief in front of him, and said loudly: "I am here, the thief is coming!" ”

The horses gradually moved away, and what Jiang Zhengxi saw at the last moment of losing consciousness was Longwu standing in the wilderness with a horizontal sword, facing the rushing rain of sharp arrows without avoiding it, and when he landed on his body, he was hit by dozens of arrows and fell on his back.

Then a large number of iron hooves of the captives stepped over his corpse......

Jiang Zhengxi vaguely saw the gate of Changting City. It seemed as if someone was calling out to him, but he couldn't hear a word.

A moment later, more people surrounded him. He vaguely recognized several of them, including Her Royal Highness the Empress and Huang Ge Lao......

He struggled to open his mouth, not knowing if he was making a sound, but he just tried his best to speak.

Empress Zeng asked Jiang Zhengxi, who was already a bloody man, to put him on the ground, and seeing that his lips trembled, she hurriedly silenced everyone, only to hear an extremely weak voice and said: "The Holy One has ...... Murdered by the thieves...... Dozens of arrows were ...... Holy in ...... Fifty miles southeast ......"

Empress Zeng's eyes widened, and she tried her best to slowly turn her head to look at the person who came with Jiang Zhengxi, the little eunuch who gave him citrus in the broken temple, and asked in a trembling voice: "He, what he said is true?" ”

The little eunuch was obviously frightened as well, and only shrunk under the horse's belly, nodding his head in confusion.

Holy Heaven...... Empress Zeng suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and she fell on her back, and the eunuch next to her hurriedly stepped forward to drag her down, shouting "Her Royal Highness...... Wake up! ”

Zhu Linmiao's eyes also widened, but all he felt was anger, endless anger!

Why?

Longwu, who tried his best to save, still can't get rid of the doom of being killed? Why?!

He asked himself that he had done everything he could think of, and that at one point he was one step away from success, but in the end he still couldn't do it.

It's just a little bit, yes, if it weren't for Huang Daozhou's suggestion that Longwu Nan go to Hangzhou, then Longwu would definitely come to Changting as he had been born in history.

Why did Zodiac Zhou do this? Thinking of this, Zhu Linmiao was stunned suddenly, when Longwu fled south in history, Huang Daozhou had failed in the Northern Expedition and died in Nanjing, so naturally no one would suggest that Longwu go to Shanghang.

And it was he Zhu Linmiao who stopped the Northern Expedition of the Zodiac Zhou!
