Rebirth Zhu Yuanzhang's King Summoning System

Chapter 24
The night was like water, the streets of Haozhou City were sparsely populated, and the bluestone floor was wet and slippery after it rained just now, even wild cats were reluctant to come out.

A few thousand households who had just been deposed from office were sitting drunkenly by the side of the road, with expressions of disappointment and depression gradually appearing on their faces.

"Brother Wang, what do you think happened to Deputy Commander Sun? Why does it feel like he has changed recently?"

"That's right! Guo Zixing sent us to look for the missing saint. We didn't lose the saint! How did it end up being our responsibility? Let us be dismissed?"

"That's right! Vice Marshal Sun, who has always been strong, didn't say a word! Could it be that he has some reason to fall on Guo Zixing?"

"Hey! Pity the few of us. Since the beginning of the uprising, we have been trying our best to guard this city. I didn't expect that in the end, we were all empty-handed. Drink, drink!"

Several people picked up the wine bowls and raised their necks to gulp down the strong wine. After putting down the wine bowls, everyone's eye circles were red, and they didn't know whether they were choked by the wine or sad.

In the distance, a group of soldiers came running in unison, stopped in front of them, and the leader waved: "Take down these traitors!"

A few people were shocked, and then drew out their swords, glared at them, and shouted loudly: "You bastard! I am the veteran of the Haozhou City Uprising! Who dares to take me!?"

There was something different about these soldiers. They didn't speak. They just silently took out the iron chains and wrapped them around the swords in the hands of several people accurately. They pulled and pulled the swords to the ground, and then swarmed up and tied them up tightly.

Several people who were pinned to the ground shouted loudly: "Who are you? Why arrest us? We want to see Deputy Commander Sun!"

Wang Qianhu drank a little too much, and did not participate in the dispute just now. He sat on the side drunk, his eyes were blurred, and the cool wind blew. Under a shock, he saw that all the brothers had been taken down, and he was sober for a few moments when he was drunk. At one point, when the soldier rushed in front of him, he lifted the table and threw it at the soldier, taking advantage of the moment when the other party paused, he got up and ran.

The soldiers chased him for a while, but after all, he couldn't compare to Wang Qianhu's lightness skill. He ducked left and right, relying on his familiarity with Haozhou City, he threw off the pursuers who followed him.He ran straight towards the Sun Mansion, and when he arrived at the gate of the Sun Mansion, Wang Qianhu kept an eye out. He looked carefully at the soldiers standing guard at the gate, and felt that he broke out in a cold sweat.None of these soldiers knew him!The Sun Mansion had long been under Guo Zixing's control.

The soldiers in front of the door seemed to be aware of the noise, and ran towards Wang Qianhu with a long gun in their hands.

In desperation, Wang Qianhu stretched his legs and leaped onto the roof, looking at the huge city of Haozhou under his feet. This place where he threw his blood and sacrificed his youth to protect him, now there is no place for him. Desolation and loneliness have eroded his heart. Now, where else can he go?

Not far away, Tang He led people to patrol here. Wang Qianhu's eyes lit up. Tang He's friend, the famous gangster, might be the only one in Haozhou City who dared to take him in.

In an unremarkable small courtyard next to the Temple of the Holy Maiden, Zhu Zhong held the art of war with eight hands, and glanced at the sand table in front of him from time to time.Now that the Yuan army is besieging and not attacking, it is nothing more than to contain the troops of Haozhou City. After the main force has dealt with Zhang Shicheng, they will turn around and attack Haozhou.Break through one by one, step by step.Zhu Chongba couldn't help feeling deeply: Among the Yuan army, there are still people who can make such an exquisite plan.He put down the scroll and thought of Ba Sier Buhua, who was a master of martial arts. He picked up a brush and wrote a line of small characters on the rice paper: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be able to fight a hundred battles. If you don't know, don't act rashly."

Ma Chunhua came from the back kitchen, holding a few pieces of pastries and tea in his hands, and gently placed them in front of Zhu Chongba, turned around to leave, but was held in Zhu Chongba's arms.

"Oh, don't make trouble." Ma Chunhua's face was like a peach blossom, and he slapped Zhu Chongba's arm angrily.

Zhu Chongba chuckled: "Marshal Guo hid you here with me, and he didn't allow me to take advantage of it and charge me some money? Then he is too picky."

Ma Chunhua spat lightly: "Bah, I haven't done anything right all day long. Hey, what do you mean by foster father? You asked me to hide him in the first place to find an excuse to deal with Sun Deya, but now that Sun Deya is dead, why is he still there? Why don’t you let me show up?”

Zhu Chongba frowned and thought for a moment: "I also can't figure out Marshal Guo's thoughts."

Outside the fence, the sound of very light footsteps caught the attention of the two of them. Ma Chunhua turned and went back to the room, and Zhu Chongba touched the dagger in his back with his right hand.

"Who! Come out!" Zhu Chongba rushed up to the wall, grabbed Wang Qianhu by the collar, and pressed the sharp and cold dagger against his throat.

"Brother Zhu! Don't do anything! It's me!" Wang Qianhu raised his hands, indicating that he was not malicious.

Zhu Chongba turned his head and took a look. Ma Chunhua had returned to the room safely, so he put away the dagger and landed in the yard with Wang Qianhu.

"Wang Qianhu came late at night, what's the matter?" Everyone knew that Wang Qianhu was from Sun Deya, and Zhu Chongba didn't have much affection for him.

That Wang Qianhu let out an "ah" and sat on the ground slumped. A man who never flinched when faced with mountains of corpses and seas of blood unexpectedly burst into tears of grievance.

"Brother Zhu, I don't know how I offended Marshal Guo. Tonight, a few of us brothers got together to drink, and suddenly a group of soldiers came and wanted to torture us back without saying a word! I went to Deputy Marshal Sun and found out All the guards at the door were replaced by unfamiliar faces. Brother Zhu, you said that we have already handed over our military power obediently, why is Marshal Guo still unwilling to let us go?"

Zhu Chongba was silent. Before Sun Deya died, he had promised him that he would protect the safety of these generals.Guo Zixing also promised himself that as long as these generals surrendered their military power, there would be no difficulties.But now, Guo Zixing still wants to kill him!Zhu Chongba took a deep breath and helped Wang Qianhu up on the ground: "You go back first. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."

Looking at Wang Qianhu's lonely and desolate back, Ma Chunhua sighed softly: "They are all heroes who have shed blood and been injured for the uprising. How did they end up like this?"

Zhu Chongba put on his clothes: "I'm going to see Marshal Guo right now."

In the Guo Mansion, some shrewd generals were keenly aware of the recent changes, and came in droves to express their heartfelt support to Guo Zixing.

Guo Zixing always squinted his eyes and pretended to be listless to fool the crowd: "What? Niu Qianhu? What are you talking about? Allegiance? Oh, old man, I can't hear you clearly."

Most of the generals returned in dismay, but only those who were determined to tell the whole story of Sun Deya's plan could see Guo Zixing's eyes shining with cold light.

In the living room, the servant rushed over and whispered in Guo Zixing's ear, "Marshal, General Zhu is here."

Guo Zixing nodded and said softly: "Tell him to wait for me in the back hall."

After speaking, he got up and yawned: "Oh, I'm really old and useless. Please go back. My old bones will fall apart if I don't rest."
