Everyone at the table was shocked.

Except for Zheng Mengzhu, Jing Wenchong and Qin Juexiang. The rest of the people heard the noise.

Luo Chengyuan asked quickly: "It's the soldiers and horses of the three battalions." ”

The samurai hesitated: "No. This army has no banner. The soldiers are mostly short. But it's extremely strong. By no means like the surrounding forbidden army. ”

The second warrior hurriedly walked upstairs: "Alliance Master." Officers and soldiers have now blocked the main exit roads of the main altar. The swords are being armed. After investigation, the total number of the other party exceeded 1,000. Fifty percent are equipped with crossbow arrows and firebolts. ”

Zheng Meng said: "Pass my order." All disarmed and indoors. Don't clash with it head-on. The two samurai descended.

Chen Shengyi: "The officers and soldiers came suddenly and quickly. And in time for this. Apparently with the intent to catch them all. Mingshao. Break out later. Xiaohao and I are in front and you are behind. Be sure to protect the young master. Chang Sihao said yes. Ma Mingshao nodded. He exchanged glances with Qin Juexiang again to make sure.

Zheng Meng's eyes stared: "This group of officers and soldiers is strange. The Praetorian Guard of the Beijing Division and the surrounding battalions are under the supervision of our alliance. There is no reason to get retribution until the general altar. Old Jing. Let's go out and have a look. ”

Just two steps. The third samurai appeared at the entrance of the staircase: "Lord of the Alliance." Someone recognized. The official army led the team by Qi Jiguang. ”

Everyone was amazed. Hurried down to the front yard. I saw that the outer wall of the main altar was full of crossbowmen. Align with the important places such as the ring corridor and courtyard road. Two rows of officers and soldiers at the main entrance have been admitted to the hospital. Squat forward and stand back. Hand with a firecracker. Aim in the direction of the Great Hall and do not move. Behind the gunner, there are two columns of small colonels to protect one person. Less than five feet tall. He is in his forties. The expression was cold. The face is thin and dark. The half-palm-length beard made him look very old. This person wears a veil crown on his head. Wearing court clothes. It's not a battle dress. Beside him stood a young man in white looking around.

Chang Sihao recognized the young man in white as Liu Jinwu at a glance. I knew it in my heart. Hurry up and whisper a few words to Master Zheng Meng. Walked out.

Liu Jinwu saw that it was him. Hurriedly shouted: "Stop." Do not hurt Chitose. Qi Jiguang waved his hand. The front row of guns is lowered to dodge the road.

Chang Sihao came over and carried everyone. pulled Liu Jinwu and said in a low voice: "What's going on with these soldiers." Liu Jinwu said: "Of course I transferred it." The palace has stepped up its defenses. Infallible. I want to help you capture Sonam Gyatso. It just so happened that Lord Qi was summoned by the emperor and was also in the palace. When I heard this, I asked my soldiers to come with me. We inquired along the way. Fortunately, the two of you have obvious characteristics. Otherwise, it's really troublesome to find. Chang Sihao said: "Things have changed. You don't have to worry about it. Let them withdraw. ”

Liu Jinwu pouted his teeth. He glanced in the direction of Lord Zheng and his group. Wait a minute. In the past, I reported to Qi Jiguang. The two muttered a few words. Qi Jiguang glanced at Chang Sihao. came over and bowed and said, "The last general Qi Jiguang has seen Chitose. Chang Sihao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "Lord Qi's military achievements are world-famous." Admired by the people of the world. How can the boy be virtuous. Dare to be worshiped by adults. Qi Jiguang was slightly surprised. His eyes quickly swept on Chang Sihao's face. Busy and lowered his head and said, "Don't dare." Leaning closer and said, "Chitose." The emperor knew about it. If you can't get Sonam Gyatso back. The last general and the general Liu are derelict in their duties. I'm afraid that this year will end at the end of the year. The emperor was worried about the assassination. The dragon's heart is restless. ”

Chang Sihao frowned slightly. Turning around, Sonam Gyatso was in the group of people who were in the Zheng League. The yellow-robed monk's hat is very conspicuous. I know I can't hide it. Nodding his head, he said, "This matter is due to a misunderstanding." I will enter the palace with you. Give the emperor an explanation. Qi Jiguang showed a little embarrassment. was glared at by Liu Jinwu. I couldn't help but bow my head.

Chang Sihao went back and explained a few words briefly to Zheng Mengzhu and others. came out with Qi and Liu to withdraw their troops and return to the palace. Longqing is enjoying the plum blossoms in Banzai Mountain. Summoned immediately upon hearing the news. Liu Jinwu led the way. The three of them came out of the Xuanwu Gate. Through the north door, long live the door. Come to the front of Banzai Mountain. The mountain mausoleum before Chang Sihao met was small and steep. Toxue Lianyun. There are also red walls and golden tiles hidden among the dry and green cypresses. It's like a fairy cave. I can't imagine that there is such a place behind the Forbidden City. I can't help but be secretly surprised.

Walk to the mountainside. From a distance, I saw a small empty field at the end of the stone path in front of me. The snow is white. The surrounding area is crimson and red. The plum branches are as black as ink. It's like a clever stroke. On the west side there is an octagonal pavilion. Emperor Longqing was sitting in it. Looking at the little girl playing among the red plums, she smiled. Feng Bao stood behind Long Qing with a smile. The guards and others surrounded them from a distance.

The three approached. The little girl saw Chang Sihao at first sight. Two wine vortexes burst into laughter on his face. Ran over and threw himself on his waist and shouted, "Good brother." ”

Chang Sihao smiled: "Ah." Shake head ginger. ”

Zhu Yaojiang said: "I'm not a mile." I'm Princess Qixia. I don't say hello when you see me. Chang Sihao crossed his arms and said, "You call me a good brother." I am your elder. How can there be any reason for the elders to come to the juniors to say goodbye? You should give me a greeting. Zhu Yaojiang blinked and thought for a moment. Hmm: "That's right." "Take a half step back. Squat with both hands on the crotch side. Solemnly made a gesture of ten thousand blessings. He bowed his head and said, "Yao Jiang greets my good brother." "The voice is immature. But it is quite ladylike. Long Qing laughed: "Yao Jiang." You'll have to call Uncle Uncle. Otherwise, our generations will really be messed up. He turned around and said, "Xiaojun." You also come to say hello to Uncle Chang. ”

Feng Bao's body moved forward slightly. Chang Sihao noticed that he was holding a little boy in his arms. The little boy's long eyelashes flickered, and he seemed to be a little frightened. His head was tied into Feng Bao's arms. Said weakly: "Big companion." Why is his face so dark? Feng Bao smiled: "Chitose is the reincarnation of Bao Gong." Of course the face is black. The little boy smiled: "Bao Gong is a good person." You told me about it. Feng Bao smiled: "Yes." Bao Gong is a good person. Chitose is naturally also a good person. The little boy thought for a moment. Pouted: "That's not necessarily." ”

Long Qing laughed. said: "This is my third son Yijun." By next year, he will be six years old. What do you think. It's pretty smart, isn't it? ”

Chang Sihao smiled: "This kid can distinguish right from wrong at a young age. Have your own ideas. It's remarkable. ”

Long Qing nodded and smiled. asked, "General Qi." Can you get Sonam Gyatso? Qi Jiguang lowered his head and said: "This ......" Chang Sihao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty." I have ascertained that Sonam Gyatso did not come to Beijing with malicious intent. So Er stopped General Qi. Long Qing said: "Hmm." I saw that there were more men in the palace. So he called Jin Wu to ask. Only then did I learn that Sonam Gyatso had arrived in the capital. This person is the leader of the Yellow Sect. He has always had a close relationship with the Rinphumba family. Now Sinshapa Tseden Dorje occupies the Tibetan area. Support the White Religion. He lost his living space. Come out and run around. Nothing more than to win allies. There is no reason for the assassination. It is not necessary. This person is in peace in Tibet and Mongolia. It should have been met. But now is not the time. I didn't bring it. Let him go for now. ”

Chang Sihao said tentatively: "What kind of 'multi-sister' mutiny is this." I don't know what the emperor's countermeasures are. Long Qing smiled. Another sigh. "Tibet is remote. Difficult to attack. In addition, Tseden Dorje is strong. Over the years, the imperial court has been in a state of weakness. He can only be appeased. Qi Jiguang bowed and said, "Your Majesty." The minister is willing to raise a brigade to sweep away the Tibetan area. Wipe out all the Tseden Dorje gangsters. In return for the grace of the Holy Lord. ”

Long Qing said: "General Qi is loyal and brave. However, the general has worked hard for many years. It's time for the city of Shema. Enjoy the riches. How can I bear to send you far away to that barren land? Go down first. ”

Qi Jiguang originally wanted to say something. Seeing Long Qing waving. Don't dare to say anything more. Retreat. A eunuch came to report: "Tell the emperor." Xu Ge asked to see him. Waiting for the order of the house. Long Qing nodded: "It's too cold in the courtroom." Let him wait at the Temple of Heart Nourishment. I'm gone. The eunuch answered. Long Qing instructed Feng Bao to take care of the princess and the prince. Since the two of them drove down the mountain with Chang Liu. On the way, he asked, "Jingo." Are you ready for a gift? Liu Jinwu smiled: "Go back to the emperor." It's ready. Originally, I was going to take Chitose over to see it today. However, because of Sonam Gyatso's affairs, it was delayed. Long Qing smiled: "I want to discuss state affairs with Xu Ge Lao." I don't know when it'll end. Nothing to do left or right. Take him with you. Liu Jinwu smiled: "Yes." ”

Chang Sihao saw that the two of them were vague and had a mysterious expression. It seems that I have prepared something for myself. I can't guess either. Out of the Banzai Gate. Farewell to Longqing. It was led to the west by Liu Jinwu. Cross the Qianming Gate, Chengguang Palace, and Yuhe Bridge. All the way out of Xi'an Gate.

After leaving Xi'anmen, he turned southbound. He inquired on the way. Liu Jinwu just smiled and said nothing.

The two of them zigzag and twisted in the alley of the alley for a cup of tea. Cut into a slightly wider side street. Before coming to a big mansion. Liu Jinwu stepped forward and struck the door knocker.

Chang Sihao raised his eyes and looked. Behold, the high walls of this house are rising. The gatehouse is small and strong. The carved plate is painted with a new color. It is expected to be a rich family. I guess to myself. The sound of footsteps in the courtyard was broken. The door slid open silently. There was a man inside. He was stunned.
