Chapter 728: Confrontation

Wu Sangui was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Zhu Yujiao's words just now would be heard, and he didn't expect that a weak woman would be so resolute and strong. But on second thought, maybe it's just for yourself? After all, she is just a woman, how can she have such a determination not to be afraid of death.

He asked tentatively, "Your Highness is joking, right?" The minister is not a thief, he is a military general of the Ming Dynasty, and His Royal Highness should say this to Li Zicheng, not to the minister. Come on, it's windy outside, please go back to the sedan chair to rest......"

Zhu Yujiao stared at him without blinking: "My father worked hard for the Ming Dynasty during his lifetime, and finally ended up in ruin, not to mention what is wrong with him, this is inseparable from you courtiers who have their own ghosts." If civil officials don't love money, military generals are not afraid of death, and they are united, how can they let the Tartars enter the Kou like no one again and again, let alone let people like Li Zicheng attack the capital! ”

Wu Sangui was a little embarrassed, and replied lightly: "The minister guards the frontier, but he is not greedy for life and afraid of death...... Moreover, the first emperor ruled the country, and some things were indeed not properly handled, which is also a fact, and all the fault cannot be blamed on the courtiers......"

"Shut up!" Zhu Yujiao's originally pale face became flushed with excitement, "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's ability to govern the country has been high and low, but he has never been greedy for life and afraid of death. In the past, Yongle Ye moved the capital to Beijing, and then there was his father and the emperor who would rather die than surrender to thieves, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died in Sheji, how can you slander it? Although this palace is young, you also understand right and wrong, you are just a group of martial artists who support their own soldiers! Now he is still delusional to control the palace to control the government, wishful thinking! ”

Wu Sangui was so slammed by a little girl that he had nothing to say, he was immediately annoyed and angry, took two steps forward, and said viciously: "It's useless to say more, it's up to you to decide what I want to do." What you say is lively, do you dare to really kill yourself? ”

Zhu Yujiao said coldly: "Do you think I don't dare? Then he stabbed the hairpin a little, and the blood slowly flowed out of the wound, drawing a hideous red line on the snow-white skin.

"You ......" Wu Sangui was shocked and angry, and wanted to step forward to stop it, but he was afraid that she would really stab herself to death.

The soldiers surrounding Zhu Yujiao looked at each other, without an order, and threw a mouse trap, they didn't know how to deal with this princess. A large group of heavily armed soldiers and weak women who are unsteady in the middle form a contrasting picture.

Zhu Yujiao leaned on the sedan chair, holding the hairpin with her only right hand, her injured right foot could not exert force, and could only rely on her left foot to support, plus she was exhausted this night, and she felt that she would fall down at any time. She said to herself, "I can't just fall and let this thief get away." I thought so in my heart, but my body didn't listen to the call, and my hands and feet trembled a little - this was a precursor to collapse and coma.

Wu Sangui saw her embarrassment, turned over and dismounted, and slowly approached, his tone softened a little.

"Your Highness, you are injured and delirious, and it is inevitable that you will have any misunderstandings about the ministers, so put down the hairpin, sit down, and we can talk about something slowly......"

Zhu Yujiao shouted sharply: "Stop, don't get close to the palace!" As he spoke, he pierced the hairpin a little deeper, and the blood flowed more.

"Okay, okay, the minister doesn't approach, Your Highness, please calm down, don't hurt the phoenix body......" Wu Sangui stopped helplessly. Since he plans to burn the crown prince, then Princess Kunxing is a trump card in his hand and will not give up easily. The dead princess was of no value to him.

He looked back at the Wen Mansion with the door closed, and then at the white fish belly that had been exposed in the sky, and his heart gradually became anxious. The main force of the Joan Navy may come at any time, if the crown prince does not die and falls into the hands of Xia Nan, and the princess card is invalid, then his plans for tonight will all fall through.

Zhu Yujiao temporarily forced Wu Sangui back, but she was exhausted, her eyes were black, and she felt that she would fall down at any time. At this time, she missed Xia Nan with a wicked smile on his face, if he could arrive in time to stop Wu Sangui's atrocities, how good would it be? Although this guy is more lawless than Wu Sangui, with a woman's intuition, she feels that it is more reliable than Wu Sangui to hand over Daming to him.

The energy gradually drained from her body, Zhu Yujiao felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, she used her last strength to clench the hairpin, intending to stab her neck before she fell, and cut herself off, never giving the thief a chance to control herself.

The world should not be saved by a woman, but she was born in the emperor's family.

She sighed, pressed the hairpin in with her right hand.

Just when the hairpin pierced half an inch, there seemed to be a faint rumbling footsteps in the distance, Zhu Yujiao's eyes lit up, most of the people who could gather a large group of people to act on the streets of the capital at this time were Xia Nan's people.

As soon as she thought of having a savior, Zhu Yujiao didn't want to die, so she stopped the movements in her hand. But as soon as he relaxed, his whole body was sore, and he fell straight to the ground.

Wu Sangui's eyes were quick, he rushed forward a few steps, firmly supported Zhu Yujiao, snatched the hairpin with his hand, and threw it far away.

He said proudly: "Your Highness, ants are still greedy for life, why bother to kill yourself?" You can rest assured that the minister will not only send you back to the palace, but also send you a bright future. What is a mere princess, instead of being a widow in the Ten Princes' Mansion (Note 1), it is better to be a female regent who listens to the government......"

Zhu Yujiao struggled to spit out a sentence: "Don't think about the thief!" ”

"Hehe, Your Highness is a little confused, what nonsense are you talking about, you have to rest more. The ministers dealt with the rebellion in this mansion and respectfully sent His Highness back to the palace......"

Wu Sangui pulled out all the ornaments on Zhu Yujiao's hair bun, and after confirming that there was nothing to harm herself, he stuffed her back into the sedan chair and turned around to issue an order to set fire, but the movement behind him attracted his attention, and he turned around suspiciously.

The rumbling in the distance grew louder and louder, and it seemed to be the footsteps of a large group of people advancing. Just now, Wu Sangui's attention was all on Zhu Yujiao, who was trying to commit suicide, and he didn't notice the voice, but now as his footsteps get closer and closer, it is difficult to hear it.

Wu Sangui looked back depressedly, countless torches were lit on the other side of the street, and soldiers in red uniforms could be vaguely seen trotting forward.

"Damn, it's still a step slower after all!" Wu Sangui hatefully slashed at the horizontal bar of the sedan chair, and sawdust splashed everywhere.
