Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40 40, Li Guozhen is in danger, Zhu Cilang Desheng rescues
At this moment, Zhu Cihong really wanted to scold her.

What kind of pig teammate is this!
Fortunately, I worked very hard here, and all the luck given by the system was used to save my life. I finally managed to defeat Li Zicheng's elite.

Li Guozhen was lucky, he was breached just like that?

What a waste!
The British gentleman on the side was also dumbfounded, but he came back to his senses immediately and said: "Uncle Xiangcheng is young after all, and there is no such thing as a prince to rule the sea. It is normal for some mistakes to happen. Don't be angry, Your Highness."

Zhu Cihong looked at the British Duke, a little dumbfounded.

Although I know that your British master is praising me and belittling Li Guozhen, I really can't be happy in this situation.

Zhu Cihong sighed, turned around and left.

"Master Ying, you stay here and guard, I will lead someone to rescue that idiot Li Guozhen!"

Palace, inner hall.

Chongzhen was lying on the couch, and Empress Zhou gently helped him massage his temples.

It is an open secret that Chongzhen was under great pressure.

In front of Chongzhen, there were two eunuchs, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen said slowly: "Is there any news from the prince?"

Wang Chengen said hurriedly: "According to the information just sent back, His Royal Highness is still fighting fiercely with the bandits at Changhua Gate, and there is no serious problem."

Empress Zhou was obviously worried, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, or else you can bring Xiao'er back, it's the front line, it's too dangerous."

After hearing Queen Zhou's words, Wang Huamin's eyes flashed, and he said carefully: "Your Majesty, I also feel that the prince is too impulsive. After all, he is the future of the Ming Dynasty, so he can't put himself in danger like this."

Chongzhen shook his head lightly, and said: "You don't understand. Since Hong'er is the prince, he must do his duty as a prince. What I can't do, he can do is his ability. I have no ability, but He... can have this ability."

After Chongzhen said these words, the expressions of the other three people changed.

This kind of words can only be heard by those who are close to them.

At this moment, suddenly a eunuch rushed into the palace.

Wang Huamin frowned, and shouted unhappily: "Didn't you see that His Majesty is resting? Do you understand the rules?"

The eunuch ignored Wang Huamin at all, but stammered and said: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the city gate guarded by Uncle Xiangcheng has been breached by bandits!"

"What?!" Chongzhen was shocked and subconsciously wanted to sit up, but just halfway through sitting, his whole body suddenly felt like the world was spinning.

"Your Majesty!!!" There was an exclamation in the palace.

Beijing, Deshengmen.

On the city wall, many soldiers of the invading army were shouting and charging to kill. Although the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty tried their best to resist, they were still defeated one after another.

Uncle Li Guozhen of Xiangcheng was standing at the gate of the city, stabbing out the long sword in his hand, piercing through the chest of a soldier who invaded the army, and shouted: "Hold it, hold it up!"

However, the situation has become very unfavorable. The intruders are constantly climbing up the ladder along the wall. The defeat of the official army seems to be irreversible.

Some officers and soldiers fled past Li Guozhen in embarrassment, without even looking at the Uncle Xiangcheng.

Beside Li Guozhen, there is also a pro-guard team of about 20 people, but that's all.

"Rush down, open the door to meet the army!" A general who broke into the army boarded the city, and immediately issued an order loudly.

Li Guozhen felt sweat on his palms and was a little unsteady on his feet. Several of the guards around him hurriedly said: "Master, it's time to retreat!"

Li Guozhen was furious, and shouted: "I am the majestic Xiangcheng Bo of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty entrusts me with a heavy responsibility. How can I retreat at this time and give the city gate to the bandits?"

In such a short ten seconds, Li Guozhen and his personal guards were surrounded by hundreds of trespassers.

A short but intense battle.

In the shadow of swords, lights and swords, countless blood splattered, and people fell down constantly. The blood stained the long street red and flowed into the gutter under the city gate.

Li Guozhen panted heavily, leaning on the ground with the tip of his sword, bent over, unable to straighten up.

Countless invading troops surrounded him, all enemies were in sight, and there were many swords, guns and axes shining with cold light.

"surrender!"

"surrender!!"

Many shouts drowned Li Guozhen's eardrums. He laughed loudly, managed to stand up, raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty, I, Li Guozhen, will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty here today!"

boom!
As soon as Li Guozhen finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Afterwards, a burst of bows and arrows came, and the army that surrounded Li Guozhen was caught off guard, causing casualties.

Zhu Cihong's voice sounded coldly: "My general of Ming Dynasty, I can't be humiliated by you thieves!"

Many fresh troops rushed in, killing the intruders and scattering them in all directions.

Li Guozhen looked around in confusion, obviously not adapting to the situation yet.

An intruder who was lying on the ground suddenly stood up and struck Li Guozhen with his sword.

boom!
The Chuang Jun was still in the air, his forehead had already been pierced, and he fell to the ground.

Li Guozhen was taken aback. He first looked at the Chuangjun corpse on the ground, and then subconsciously looked at the source of the gunshots.

Zhu Cixiang glared at Li Guozhen: "What are you doing standing still? Just stay there and don't hinder me from killing the enemy!"

Although Zhu Cixiang didn't like Li Guozhen, he saw with his own eyes that the opponent still fought hard at the last moment, so he saved Li Guozhen.

If Li Guozhen chose to surrender just now, Zhu Cihong might as well shoot Li Guozhen in the head now, anyway, it is no big deal to die in the chaos.

Li Guozhen smiled wryly, bowed deeply to Zhu Cihong, and said, "Thank you, Prince, for saving your life."

no respond.

When Li Guozhen raised his head, he realized that Zhu Cihong had already rushed up the steps to climb the city wall, and he could still hear Zhu Cihong yelling.

"One head is ten taels of silver, remember to go back and reimburse it after the chopping is over!"

"So many heads are worth money. Everyone is getting rich today!"

The corner of Li Guozhen's mouth twitched, feeling relieved, he sat down on the ground.

He looked around and found that all the guards had been killed, and suddenly felt sad and burst into tears.

The inner hall of the palace.

Chongzhen woke up leisurely and saw Empress Zhou guarding her nervously in front of the bed. He suddenly felt sad and grabbed Empress Zhou's hand.

"Zitong, I've been sorry to Daming for the rest of my life, and I've also been sorry to you. The bandit army has already entered the city, and this Daming... I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it!"

When Queen Zhou heard the words, she also broke down in tears and said: "Your Majesty, don't say that. Now that things are not going well, my concubine is willing to follow Your Majesty to the Nine Springs!"

Wang Chengen also knelt on the ground, his eyes red.

Wang Huamin looked at this scene with a blank expression on his face, and quietly moved towards the door.

At this moment, the Duke of England strode into the palace, with a joyful face, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Changhua Gate has repelled the bandit army. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just gone to Desheng Gate, and also rescued Uncle Xiangcheng. Defeat the bandit army over there!"

Chongzhen, Queen Zhou, Wang Chengen, Wang Huamin: "!!!"

British Duke paused, looking at Chongzhen and Empress Zhou who hugged each other and cried together: "???"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward!
