Chapter 536: Strange Behavior
Although Jin Yiwei has collected a lot of information about Cai Yurong, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and Cai Yurong and his Green Flag soldiers have to meet to know what the combat effectiveness is, so Cheng Xiaolian and the others are just preparing to fight, but they are not too nervous.
As for the so-called 100,000 army, it must be discounted, unless the imperial court wants to connive at Wu Sangui to become bigger.
However, on the issue of dealing with Wu Sangui and the Former Ming court, the attitude of the Manchu court was very consistent, dealing with Wu Sangui first and then dealing with the former Ming court.
Because Wu Sangui is the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, his rebellion is much more hateful than the former Ming court's recovery of rivers and mountains, and Wu Sangui is powerful, as long as he is destroyed, the power of the Qing Dynasty will not be able to deal with these remnants of the former Ming Dynasty?
Yang Youcai told Cheng Xiaolian another news at this time, Zhu Cihuan has been wandering around with his wooden box these days, as if he was looking for something.
Regarding Zhu Cihuan's identity, Cheng Xiaolian can't be sure for the time being, especially his age is there, but thinking about it afterwards, there was Wu Zixu in ancient times who turned bald overnight.
"Do you know what he's looking for?"
"I heard that he is inquiring about the location of the tomb of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty."
The fief of King Qin in the Ming Dynasty was in Xi'an, so it made sense for him to come here to find the tomb of King Qin, but it has been hundreds of years since Zhu Yuanzhang divided the kings, even if everyone was brothers hundreds of years ago, the current relationship has long been estranged, so he can't go to worship King Qin, right?
"Staring at him carefully, I always feel that there is a ghost here, he doesn't have the grandeur of a royal child, but he just brought a jade plate that we have never seen, it is really weird."
Three days later, Yang Youcai got the news again: "This person has taken farm tools and is digging near the tomb of King Qin." ”
The word tomb robbery immediately appeared in Cheng Xiaolian's mind, and it is not to blame that he has too big a brain, but the word is too popular in later generations, once the mausoleum is involved, the first thing that comes to mind is tomb robbery.
"Call Lu Li, let's go see what he's going to do."
Cheng Xiaolian took Yang Youcai and Lu Li to the place where Zhu Cihuan was digging, seeing that Zhu Cihuan was still digging hard, Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Let him dig first." ”
Then he glanced at Lu Li: "Are you still used to it here?" ”
Lu Li pursed his lips: "I was originally from here, but I only stayed there when I went to Myanmar on an errand, and I haven't felt this kind of snowy weather for many years." ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It does snow like this, once it snows, the cavalry is inconvenient, and our news will spread even more slowly, but there is a little benefit, I heard that Cai Yurong has just entered Henan with a large army, and I hope that they will be trapped in Henan by the heavy snow." ”
At this time, Zhu Cihuan had already reached out and opened the wooden box, but the distance was too far for anyone to see what was going on, Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "This Zhu Cihuan didn't want to steal the tombs of the Qin kings of the past dynasties, but he is now worry-free, what is he doing robbing the tomb?" ”
Yang Youcai coughed: "Hasn't His Highness always doubted his true identity, if he wasn't Zhu Cihuan, then everything would make sense, maybe this jade plate didn't know where it was stolen." ”
Lu Li was a little puzzled: "Why did he choose to start digging so far away from the mausoleum, isn't this asking for trouble for himself?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "If he digs at the entrance of the mausoleum, won't the people guarding the mausoleum see him at a glance?" This kind of place is not in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, and it is digging in the middle of the night, who can notice him. ”
Yang Youcai suddenly stretched out his hand at this time: "Your Highness, look at his movements." Fortunately, the moonlight is good tonight, Cheng Xiaolian can see his movements clearly, Yang Youcai continued: "Even if this person is not a tomb robber, he will definitely not be Zhu Cihuan, his digging action is very professional, how can Zhu Cihuan, a royal prince and nobleman, be so skilled." ”
Lu Li was disdainful of this: "The Ming Dynasty has been dead for so many years, of course he has to learn something about it if he wants to eat, otherwise he would have starved to death on the streets." ”
I saw Zhu Cihuan take out an oil lamp, light the fire with a flint, change a small tool, and continue to dig below.
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "He has only dug three feet deep, even if he wants to dig into the tomb of King Qin, it is far from enough, how can he change it into a small tool?" ”
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of ding-dong in the night, which should be the sound of iron colliding.
Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, we can do it, it's too late." ”
Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Outflank them all and see what the hell this person is doing." ”
Yang Youcai and Lu Li copied it from both sides with a team of brocade guards, while Zhu Cihuan only had a happy look on his face at this time, and he didn't notice what was going on around him at all.
Lu Li arrived at the place first, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he put it on Zhu Cihuan's neck: "What are you doing?" ”
"Uncles spare my life, I'm not doing bad things, I'm here to dig and play."
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Why did you dig something that others couldn't dig up?" Who the hell are you? ”
Zhu Cihuan saw that it was Cheng Xiaolian and immediately stabilized his mind: "Your Highness, I am your uncle, how can you use a knife and a gun against your uncle, let them withdraw quickly, why is this for our uncle and nephew." ”
"If you haven't forgotten, I don't seem to have recognized you as an uncle, I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise since you know Zhu Cihuan's name, of course you also know the name of Jinyiwei, once you are imprisoned, it will be difficult to come out intact."
Zhu Cihuan's face changed a few times: "You really dare to do it to me, aren't you afraid of the world's leisurely mouth?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian didn't plan to talk nonsense with him anymore, and stretched out his hand: "Yang Youcai, the person will be handed over to you, I want to hear the truth." ”
Yang Youcai stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife on his waist: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is no one in my hands who does not tell the truth." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Brothers, let him see how powerful our Jinyi Guard is." ”
"Stop!" Zhu Cihuan glanced at Cheng Xiaolian and slowly stood up: "I am indeed not Zhu Cihuan. ”
Lu Li's sword never left his neck, just waiting for him to say the next words, Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "I have already guessed this, the real Zhu Cihuan should not be dead yet, who are you?" ”
"No wonder you can achieve great things, really smart, Zhu Cihuan is indeed not dead, but you don't have to know his whereabouts, just because I haven't been here, okay?"
Cheng Xiaolian sneered: "You are now a prisoner of the ranks, and you still talk to me about the conditions and explain the matter clearly, I won't kill you, otherwise, do you think Jinyiwei can't deal with you?" ”
