Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 41 Your life is not in my hands, shadow

"Liu Liangzuo, raise your head and look at me!"

Li Cunming rode a tall horse into Linhuai City, sat on the horseback, coldly looked down at Liu Liangzuo who was kneeling on the ground begging for surrender.

"How dare I look up at Tianyan?" Liu Liangzuo didn't dare to look up.

"Hmph, even if you dare to fight with me, why don't you just take a look at it?"

Liu Liangzuo still didn't raise his head, instead he knocked heavily three times, held up a wooden box with both hands and said: "My Majesty, the sinners are all because they were instigated by Li Chengdong, so they did things like having no king and no father. I will return when I am lost." , I have already cut off the head of Li Chengdong, a bastard, please ask your majesty to investigate clearly!"

Zhou Yuji went over to pick up the wooden box, inspected it by himself, and then held it in front of the emperor's horse.

Li Cunming stared at it, and it was indeed Li Chengdong's head. This dog thief still had his eyes wide open and his face was distorted. He must have suffered a lot before he died.

"You deserve to die!" Li Cunming cursed, but his heart relaxed, thinking that Li Chengdong was finally dead.

Zhou Yuji didn't speak, but looked at the emperor with reverence in his eyes.The emperor is really good at predicting things, he said that Liu Liangzuo and Li Chengdong will be dog-eat-dog, and it really came true.

Liu Liangzuo killed Li Chengdong and took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.Although this battle took some time, the price paid was very small. The Ming army suffered less than 500 casualties.

The rebirth of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen is nothing more than that, right?

"Catch them first and put them in prison!" Li Cunming ordered.

Several guards in Jinyi rushed forward, took off Liu Liangzuo's armor, handed over his weapon, and tied them tightly.

Liu Liangzuo struggled and shouted: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the person who sacrificed Li Chengdong will be pardoned for the big crime? I have already killed Li Chengdong, why should I be arrested?"

Li Cunming said: "You have plotted wrongdoing and colluded with the Tartars secretly, which is a serious crime to exterminate the nine tribes. But I keep my word. Since you killed Li Chengdong and surrendered, I will not kill you, but will take you into a big prison. stand up."

"Do you know why I did this? Because your life is not in my hands, but in the hands of Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun, or in the hands of the Manchu Tatars!"

"The three of them are struggling to defend Liaocheng at this time, fighting fiercely with the Qing soldiers. Liu Liangzuo, you'd better pray day and night in the prison, and hope that Yan Yingyuan and the three of them are safe and well, or that the slaves don't commit crimes, otherwise I have something to say!"

"Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this. If you break your promise, who will surrender in the future..." Liu Liangzuo was dragged down, shouting wildly all the way.

"I'm not worried about losing my trust to the rats, but I'm afraid of chilling the hearts of the people in the world!" Li Cunming said in a deep voice.

Then he ordered Zhou Yuji to take over Liu Liangzuo's army and deal with the prisoners.

Li Cunming drove to Liu's mansion, and watched Jinyi guards carry out boxes of gold and silver treasures that Liu Liangzuo had looted. He ordered: "All these money will be given to General Zhou to reward the soldiers. If you fight with me, no one will suffer. !"

After a simple dinner, Li Cunming stepped back and said in a low voice, "System, I want to sign in."

"Ding, congratulations to the host Linhuai for successfully signing in and getting a shadow."

shadow?What the hell?

Li Cunming subconsciously looked at his own shadow under the lamp, nothing changed, what is going on in the system?
At this moment, Zhou Yuji came to report on the work, saying: "Your Majesty, the military camp has been taken over, and the prisoners have been settled. We are selecting the most capable people to join the army, and the rest will be sent to open up wasteland and farm."

"General Zhou has worked hard, have you had dinner yet?" Li Cunming looked at Zhou Yuji's sweaty face and hurriedly poured him tea.

"It's too late to eat, I have something else to report. This afternoon, I encountered a strange thing..."

"Ah, what strange thing?"

Zhou Yuji clapped his hands toward the door and said, "Come in."

A skinny soldier walked into the house timidly. He was the one who was stunned by the head of a dead man on the city wall a few days ago. He knelt down and said, "The grass people have seen the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Li Cunming looked at Zhou Yuji, waiting for him to explain.

Zhou Yuji seemed a little excited, his eyes sparkled: "This afternoon, I dismissed unqualified soldiers in the barracks. This person is young and weak, so he will naturally be dismissed. But he went straight to me, begged me, and said nothing. willing to go."

"I ignored him, and he just stood aside and didn't leave. Later, when I got busy, I forgot about him, and then strange things happened. Wherever I went, people whispered, pointing and saying that I have something wrong." Two shadows. The minister was startled, looked down and saw that it was true, pulled out his knife and roared, this kid actually stood out from the shadow!"

Li Cunming didn't think it was strange at first, but when he thought about it carefully, goosebumps rose, and he said anxiously, "You mean he can transform into a shadow?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty, this is really unheard of. I suspect that this kid can use black magic!"

Li Cunming looked at the little soldier with great interest, and seeing that he was ordinary, he asked, "What's your name?"

"shadow."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Cunming shuddered. Could it be that this person was rewarded by the system?
"I'm here to ask you, where is your home and if you have any relatives? Do you really know how to turn into a shadow?"

"I was originally from Zhejiang. My ancestors made a living by farming and often went fishing. Later, the family's land was stolen by a local squire, and the whole family became the squire's servants. I was the son of the squire. The squire was 60 years old. One day, he defiled my 15-year-old sister and colluded with the government to kill my parents."

"I escaped, and met a monk from the East by the sea. He taught me some skills. Later, the monk died of illness. I went all the way north, and was arrested in a daze. I was given military rations."

"I used to have a name, but Master Monk said that in order to survive in troubled times, it is better to become a shadow first, because no one cares about shadows, so I am called shadow."

Li Cunming was amazed when he heard that, this person was quite eloquent, and his experience was sympathetic.

But can a person really be a shadow?Monk Dongyang, could it be that he learned ninjutsu?
Just when he didn't know what to do with him, a guard in Jinyi rushed over excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Liangzuo built a huge pool in the back garden and raised a tiger in it. Do you want to go and watch it?"

"Heh, these warlords are really extravagant and want to build a zoo. I don't have that idea..."

When Li Cunming said this, he suddenly thought about it and asked the shadow: "Can you become the shadow of a tiger so that it can't find you?"

"It's possible, but I'm timid and have never tried it."

Li Cunming smiled: "You really have such great abilities, how can you still be timid? Don't lie to me! Someone, throw him into the pool!"

"Your Majesty, I am really cowardly, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Shadow cried.

Li Cunming made up his mind, waved his hand and said, "Take it out!"

When the shadow's yelling became farther and farther away, Zhou Yuji asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, are you really going to test him like this? Would it be cruel?"

Li Cunming said: "The origin of this person is unknown, so I have to be cautious. You order a few soldiers to take flintlock guns and stand guard by the pool, just in case. If this kid doesn't have that ability, give him some money and send him away. If he really has the ability, I will use him again!"
