。 Seeing Dr. Wu's face full of tears, Huai En hurriedly comforted: "Don't be too sad, didn't this kid survive?" He said with a smile: "This is the first time that he can come out of the shadow alive ......."

Speaking of this, Huai En was stunned, looked at Doctor Wu fixedly, and said, "You won't ...... Said it? ”

"Yes." Doctor Wu nodded, and said with a sad smile: "I tell him all the emperor's current hiding place and all the footholds......

Before he finished speaking, Wynne punched Dr. Wu in the stomach, and Dr. Wu flew out sideways, slammed into the bulkhead, and squirted a mouthful of blood!

"You dare to betray the emperor?!" Wynne was furious, and pounced on him again, punching and kicking desperately, and scolded, "You traitor! ”

Dr. Wu didn't fight back, only held his head, curled up, and let him beat him violently!

Seeing that he was like mud, Huaien became more and more angry, grabbed Dr. Wu up, opened his eyes angrily, and roared: "Do you remember the oath we made?!" ”

"Of course I remember, we swore to protect the emperor until death...... Dr. Wu spit out a tooth that had been knocked out, and said sadly: "But what do you want me to do, my son has never sworn an oath!" ”

"I care so much about you!" A fierce light flashed in Wynne's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Those who break the oath will be broken and ashes in life, and they will go to eighteen layers of hell when they die!" As he spoke, he roared and said, "Go and die!" ”

Dr. Wu was violently choked by the throat, his eyes were wide open, and his hands and feet fluttered! Gradually, his hands and feet became weaker and weaker, and he was about to lose his breath, when the door suddenly opened silently, and a figure rushed in and saved Dr. Wu from Huai'en's hands!

"You!" Huai En glared angrily at Zhao Ying, who was standing in front of Dr. Wu, and said angrily: "If you dare to move the emperor's finger, I won't let you go if I am a ghost!" ”

"Senior brother is too obsessed, Zhu Yunwen is just a lost dog, is it worth your sacrifice?" Zhao Ying glanced at Dr. Wu, who was holding his neck and panting heavily, and said lightly: "Could it be that Dr. Wu can only be regarded as a loyal minister if he sacrifices his son?" ”

"......" Wynne couldn't refute it, and was stunned.

"You people, you have sacrificed too much for Zhu Yunwen, you are obviously all outstanding people, but you have buried your whole life to ridiculous foolish loyalty." Zhao Ying said in a deep voice: "Doctor Wu wants to save his son, this is right, and none of you is qualified to accuse him anymore!" ”

"......" Huaien bowed his head in a gloomy manner, obviously feeling that he had gone too far with Dr. Wu.

"Doctor Wu," Zhao Ying looked at Doctor Wu, who had already relieved himself, and said with a smile: "Although Ling Gongzi looks a little miserable, his hands and feet are intact and he has not suffered internal injuries, as long as he recuperates for a few days, he will be a good man again!" ”

"His appearance will never be restored!" Doctor Wu said with a sad face.

"Men, they don't eat by appearance." Zhao Ying comforted him and said to Doctor Wu: "The military doctor on Zheng He's ship is very good, besides, isn't there still my senior brother." Don't worry about Ling Lang, let's go. ”

"Hey." Doctor Wu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, nodded, got up and followed Zhao Ying away.

"The surname is Wu!" Towards Dr. Wu's back, Huaien roared and said, "I'm inseparable from you!" ”

He was answered by the sound of the hatch shut......

The words were divided into two ends, but he said that on the prince's side, since the Han Wangjun no longer exists, then Zhu Gaochi and the others have no reason to stay in Zhenjiang.

After a simple arrangement, Erhei and Xue Huan led a group of men and horses to return to the capital first to ensure the safety of the prince's return to Beijing. The crown prince, Mo Wen and others, after collecting the bodies of the dead soldiers, will escort the coffin back to Beijing afterwards. This is an extremely painful task, the 60,000 soldiers who retreated into Zhenjiang City with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after more than half a month of earth-shattering bloody battles, there are only more than 10,000 people left, and nearly 50,000 dead and wounded! Among them, 30,000 were killed in the battle and nearly 10,000 were seriously wounded! Especially the avant-garde of the government army founded by Wang Xian and Taisun was almost wiped out!

The soldiers who survived were not only physically scarred, but also had to endure the pain of losing their father's and brother's robes! This kind of pain is easy to bear on the battlefield, because you feel that it will be your turn in the next moment, so you are not very sad. It wasn't until the end of the war, when you were sure that you would live, that you suddenly realized that all the people you were with day and night were gone! You are the only one left, alone **** the trauma left by the war......

A few days after the end of the war, the smoke of gunpowder had cleared, and the corpses on the city wall had been cleaned up, but the soldiers had not been able to wake up from that nightmare......

After Zhu Gaochi learned about it, he put down the government affairs at hand and came to the barracks to chat with the soldiers, he couldn't let this kind of situation spread, it would completely ruin the army.

At dusk, after a day's talk, Zhu Gaochi, accompanied by Mo Wen and others, climbed to the head of Zhenjiang City, stood on the Zhenjiang Tower where he had fought fiercely, and looked at the dilapidated and bloodstained city wall, everyone seemed to have returned to the purgatory-like days!

The sunset was setting, the red glow was like blood, and it was thrillingly beautiful, but Zhu Gaochi and the others had no intention of appreciating it, and they all silently lowered their heads and thought about their hearts.

It wasn't until nightfall, when darkness swallowed up the sunset and covered the sight of the sunset, that everyone came back to their senses. The prince said softly: "If you don't say anything about the marquis, you will succeed in ten thousand bones." May I wait for my lifetime and there will be no more wars. ”

"......" Hearing this, although the generals were related, they instinctively did not agree. Jian Yi greatly appreciated: "Your Highness can have this view, it is really a blessing of the Ming Dynasty!" What a blessing the people! He said loudly: "May I never have soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and the people will always enjoy peace." ”

"yes." Zhu Gaochi was not very interested in war in the first place, but after this thrilling and bloody battle in Zhenjiang City, he hated it even more.

"Jian Shangshu's words are a bit absolute," Xu Huaiqing finally couldn't help but retort: "It should be said that there should never be a civil war, the army expands its territory and keeps the enemy out of the country, which is the blessing of the country and the luck of the people!" ”

"Hehe......" Jian Yi smiled and said nothing, what do you know? Too lazy to take care of the posture.

"Am I not right?" Xu Huaiqing said with an unhappy face.

"Of course not!" Jian Yi sneered.

"This is the original words of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty!" Xu Huaiqing suddenly laughed strangely: "It turns out that Jian Shangshu is dissatisfied with the emperor!" ”

"You!" Jian Yi never expected that this seemingly rough Qiu Ba would actually set himself up, and he was a little annoyed and angry: "What do you know? Scholars speculate on the holy will in vain, and stop laughing! ”

"Then tell me, what does the Holy Will mean?!" Xu Huaiqing didn't speak, and Hu Sandao, who was on crutches on the side, interjected.

Jian Yiden opened his mouth when he was speechless, because he was originally criticizing Emperor Yongle!

Seeing that he had nothing to say, the generals laughed for a while, and Hu Sandao was just about to make up for another knife, when the prince coughed and said, "Okay, don't be rude to Lao Shangshu." Then he turned around and said, "It's getting dark, let's go back." ”

"Yes." The generals squeezed their eyebrows proudly, and were just about to go down to the city with the prince, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city. The crowd couldn't help but stand still and follow the prestige.

"It's from the direction of the capital." Mo Wen whispered to the prince.

As if to confirm his words, he heard a shout from the city: "The capital is urgent, please open the city gate!" ”

"What's going on?" The crown prince could not help but be surprised, he knew that with the distance from the capital to Zhenjiang, the messenger could easily arrive at dawn and evening, and there was no urgent situation, and he would calculate the time and arrive before the city gate closed. At this time, the gates of the city were closed for an hour, and the messenger arrived, apparently something unusual had happened, so that he could not take care of the hour.

Theoretically, it is absolutely not permissible to open the city gates at night, but there are workarounds. Listening to Mo Wen's order: "Put down the hanging basket!" ”

The officers and men of the city laid down a hanging basket, and when the messenger sat in, several soldiers shook their wheels and brought them up with baskets.

As soon as the messenger came up, the generals were stunned, it turned out to be Shuai Hui who stayed in the capital!

"Handsome guy, why are you here?!" Hu Sandao asked with a big grin: "Do you want to see which of us is still alive?" ”

"Hehe...... Shuai Hui smiled at Hu Sandao, then walked up to the prince and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, something happened." ”

"What's the matter?" The prince said that sure enough, he pulled Shuai Hui aside and asked him to tell him first.

"Ji Gang led people to break into Tianxiang Nunnery and took away Xu Zhenren and our family...... Shuai Hui said bitterly: "We tried our best to rescue, but we only saved one ...... Mrs."

"What?!" Hearing this bad news, Zhu Gaochi was stunned, his body shook, and he couldn't stand steadily, Shuai Hui hurriedly supported him.

"The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry is the most ferocious time." The prince sighed, and said bitterly: "How can I explain to Wang Xian and my father......" The special relationship between Xu Miaojin and Zhu Di goes without saying, just saying that Wang Xian was born and died day and night, but he couldn't even protect his family, it was too incompetent!

"What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly!" Zhu Gaochi grabbed Shuai Hui's hand and asked in a hissed voice.

"Yes." Shuai Hui nodded and told the prince about what had happened......

Two days ago, that is, on the afternoon of the end of the Battle of Zhenjiang, the news had not yet reached the capital, and the city of Beijing was still in the hands of the Han army! Because of the sudden death of his father, Fang Bin, the secretary of the military department, was relieved of his position by the King of Han and forcibly ordered him to go home for the funeral! Therefore, the last paramilitary force in the city, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, also fell into the hands of the King of Han.

Zhang Xuan, the highest military governor of the capital appointed by the King of Han and the third brother of the British Duke Zhang Fu, imposed the highest level of martial law, and the people were strictly forbidden to go out at night, and even had to stay at home during the day! Any idler walking on the street will be arrested and tortured! It is better to kill by mistake than to miss a mistake, and never allow a spy to operate in the city!
