Daming: From the end of Hongwu

The smile on Zhen Wu's face faded away, and he said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude."

Although he is unwilling to fight each other as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, he is not a saint who puts down his butcher knife in such a situation, let alone this matter cannot be blamed on him at all.

Zhang Baihu was still disdainful, thinking that the general situation was in his hands, he cut his mouth and said mockingly: "How can you be so rude?"

Zhang Wu couldn't bear it anymore at this time, he thought how could there be such a stupid person in the world, squinted at Zhang Baihu and said: "Don't think about it, there were three of us when we left the city, why are there only two now?" person?"

"What's the matter? Is it possible that another person can bring you thousands of troops?" Zhang Baihu sniffed.

Zhang Wu burst out laughing, couldn't help looking at Zhen Wu, and Zhen Wu couldn't help smiling, he snapped his fingers at Zhang Baihu: "You really guessed right, don't believe me, you listen."

The heavy and rapid sound of horseshoes in the distance, like a thunder in the sky, suddenly appeared in everyone's ears, and then it got closer and closer, and the sound became louder.

Who's team?

Zhang Baihu looked at Zhen Wu and Zhang Wu who were indifferent, his expression changed suddenly, and then he couldn't care less about the ink stains anymore, he waved his hands quickly: "Come on, kill them for me."

"Come on."

A general banner beside him was eager to make contributions. Hearing Zhang Baihu's order, he pinched the horse's belly with both legs, and the horse rushed forward. With his movement, the sergeants surrounding Zhen Wu and the two of them instantly panicked. It started to move, like a tide rushing towards Zhen Wu and the two of them.

Zhen Wu drew out his waist saber, and skillfully juggled it. It was a pity that he didn't bring a long weapon, but this was enough. He shook the reins, and said in a deep voice, "Charge, cut the general."

As soon as the voice fell, the army and horses under the crotch had already rushed out, and Zhang Wu also rushed out with Zhen Wu at the first time. The two of them faced the soldiers who surrounded them without any fear on their faces, as if there were also soldiers behind them. Like thousands of troops, they charged straight towards Zhang Baihu.

soon.

Zhen Wu met the opponent's General Banner. He was skilled in equestrian skills, as if a man and a horse were united. He nimbly turned sideways to avoid the blow from the General Banner. past.

Zong Qi only felt the flash of the knife, and the blood was already splashing out of his throat, so fast that he didn't even feel the pain, and wanted to turn his head to look at Zhen Wu who was passing by.

It’s just that his head no longer listened to his command. He was terrified of this feeling, and the pain hit him, and then he began to feel that his eyes were getting darker and darker, and his eyelids were getting heavier, and finally he couldn’t hold on any longer, and fell straight from the horse. Come.

There was an uproar among the sergeants.

One's own general flag is not the opponent's one-shot enemy.

This made some of the sergeants couldn't help but have some disturbances.

However, Zhen Wu didn't care about it. After rushing into the enemy camp, his mind was full of thoughts of rushing and killing. He had discovered a long time ago that he was a little obsessed with this feeling of rushing into the enemy camp. Only this feeling of being trapped in the enemy camp can be seen everywhere. The feeling of the knife and spear coming at any time can make him feel excited.

And this kind of stimulation drives the heart to beat.

The powerful heart pumped the blood to every corner of the body. This feeling made him feel particularly comfortable, and he couldn't help but want to roar out.

At this time, Zhen Wu's hand had turned into a spear snatched from the opponent's hand. In his hand, the spear was like a spiked mace. , Let the opponent's sergeant die immediately.

Blood splattered.

When Zhang Baihu saw the blood-stained Zhen Wu, he was a little terrified for a moment. His guard belongs to the inland guard, and he hasn't encountered such a murderous person for many years. , It also seemed to step on his heart again and again.

As his psychological pressure increased.

Xue Lu finally arrived with his men, Xue Lu shouted to kill, and all the sergeants echoed in unison.

"kill."

The momentum broke through the sky in an instant.

And with this killing sound, Zhang Baihu's psychological defense was instantly defeated. He turned his horse's head and retreated hastily. can run.

But he couldn't do anything, he and Zhang Wu were only two after all, they rushed over and fell into the siege, although they were getting closer to Zhang Baihu, they couldn't fly over and kill Zhang Baihu.

All the sergeants on the other side also became a little confused at this moment. They saw Xue Lu leading people rushing to help, and saw Zhang Baihu retreating in a hurry, all of them lost their thoughts of fighting desperately.

A visible decline in morale.

Xue Lu took the lead and rushed into the enemy camp. More than 200 people faced more than 100 people, as if a pot of cold water had been poured on a small flame.

at last.

The opponent's sergeant began to flee.

Seeing this, Zhen Wu didn't chase too much. Seeing that Zhang Wu had suffered some injuries, he rushed to Zhang Wu's side to protect Zhang Wu. Zhen Wu was relieved when Xue Lu led his men to them.

"Are you okay?" Zhen Wu asked Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu grinned, but pulling the wound made Rang's face deformed: "It's okay."

Zhen Wu rolled his eyes and said, "You're really good, you're still hurt in such a small scene, if Xue Lu comes a little later, you have to explain here."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wu was also quite depressed, and said with a dark face: "You don't know, the other party has a sinister boy, so he gave me a spear, thanks to my fast dodging."

"Okay, don't waste a few words." After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he saw Li Erniu on the left and right, and beckoned to Li Erniu, and asked Li Erniu to find medicine to come to Zhang Wu, and then ignored the matter. .

Medicinal materials for hemostasis are always available in the army.

Zhen Wu rode his horse and found a place with a slightly higher terrain. He looked around and saw that the opponent was completely festered.

They need to leave as soon as possible, and they can't delay here for too long.

After Xue Lu nodded, he rode forward to gather the soldiers, and soon all the soldiers were called back. Seeing this, Zhen Wu directly gave the order to march towards Beiping.

It wasn't until evening that Zhen Wu stopped all the soldiers.

Taking advantage of the rest time of the sergeants, Zhen Wu called all the people above the small flag in the army to a meeting, and everyone gathered around to look at Zhen Wu.

These people are basically the hardcore among Zhen Wu's hardcore, so Zhen Wu didn't have to fight with them, and said directly: "Everyone knows that the way back this time is not easy, someone wants my head, So I decided to break it up into pieces and return to Peiping with each small flag as a unit."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Wu and Xue Lu jumped up and shouted: "No, we are out of danger after being broken into pieces, but what should you do? His Royal Highness King Yan stayed with us to protect you. You let us like this How can we have the face to go back to Peking."

The other Xiaoqi Zongqi also agreed with 'yes' and 'yes', making Zhen Wu's head hurt from the noise.

"Shut up for me."

Zhen Wu glanced at them with a sullen face and said: "If my whereabouts are leaked, and the other party is determined to want my head, even if I have more than 200 of you, it's better for me to go on the road alone, not only unobtrusive , it’s better to get away if something happens.”

After saying this, Zhen Wu still felt angry, and said angrily: "You all have no fucking brains, let me think about each one of them, will they harm me or protect me if we go together?!"

More than 200 people walked together, how could it be possible to hide it from others.

If Sapphire is well deployed in Shandong, Henan and other places, Zhen Wu's heads will also have to move by then.

Zhang Wu and others were said to have lost their temper.

Seeing this, Zhen Wu said, "Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, explain to the people below."

"Then I'll go with you." Zhang Wu said.

After Xue Lu heard it, he also raised his head and said, "Then I will come too, otherwise I won't be at ease."

Zhen Wu said angrily: "Don't worry about it, I will beat you ten times alone. Believe it or not, one more than you is more? Don't talk nonsense with me. This time I will only bring Cao Xiaoman, and none of the others will beat you." bring."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu called Cao Xiaoman, and after the two got on the horse, Zhen Wu confessed to Zhang Wu: "Let's go first, you can arrange the rest."

Zhang Wu was a bit unwilling, but after Zhen Wu made up his mind, he also knew that he was not good at speaking, so he could only tell Cao Xiaoman to protect Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wushun listened to a few words, but couldn't take it any longer. After greeting Cao Xiaoman, he picked a direction, flicked his horsewhip, and headed forward.

Cao Xiaoman didn't care about listening to Zhang Wu's nagging, and hurriedly followed.

Zhang Wu and Xue Lu looked at the direction of Zhen Wu's departure, and each had their own feelings in their hearts. They knew Lan Yu's target was Zhen Wu, so they knew that they were not dangerous, and even if they were exposed, they would be fine. Sapphire will be very dangerous if found.

In the final analysis, Zhen Wu made such a choice because he didn't want to put them and these soldiers in danger.

……

The capital, Liang Guogong's mansion.

Zhang Baihu knelt on the cobbled road and kowtowed to Lan Yu non-stop. After Lan Yu drank the last sip of tea, he waved, and an attendant handed him a whip.

Sapphire gently pulled the horsewhip, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not only did I not kill Zhen Wu, but I was ambushed and killed more than 40 people. Well, it's enough to give me face." As soon as Lan Yu's voice fell, the whip was also thrown heavily on Zhang Zhang. Baihu's body.

Zhang Baihu suddenly felt a burning pain in his body, but he didn't dare to cry out, he could only grit his teeth and stand upright, being beaten by Lan Yu's whip.

After thirty or forty whips passed, Lan Yu's anger was almost gone, and he threw the whip away: "I always pay attention to rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for mistakes. This time I lost face and punished me, but I am obedient You deserve to be rewarded for that too.”

Lan Yu paused for a moment, and then said: "Go back, remember to report the war damage against the bandits tomorrow, and I will have someone send you the full amount of the pension."

Zhang Baihu didn't expect such benefits, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, even though the welt marks on his back were still burning.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, thank you, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Baihu thanked him flatteringly.

"Go away." Sapphire said without raising her eyes, her tone seemed very irritated.

Seeing this, Zhang Baihu didn't dare to stay longer, enduring the pain and slowly got up and retreated, but just after he left the yard, a smile appeared on his face, thinking that doing things for Lan Yu would indeed benefit a lot, and what would be the damage in battle? There can always be a few more.

Thinking of this, Zhang Baihu suddenly felt that the back that was whipped by Sapphire did not hurt as much as before.

Just as he was happily walking towards the outside, he passed a side room, and accidentally heard the sound of two people talking in the room, and the topic of conversation happened to be related to him.

Curious, he walked quietly.

The next moment he could hear that there were Zhou Chong and Zhou Gao, who Lan Yu held in high regard, in the room.

"Brother, what you say about Zhang Baihu is stupid enough. Even this can't kill Zhen Wu. If the Duke of the State asks me to chase him down, I will kill Zhen Wu with a random knife to vent my hatred."

"Okay, the Duke will let us go."

"Why won't you let us go?"

"After all, Zhen Wu is the county horse appointed by the emperor to marry. He can be beaten and lose face, but he cannot be killed. After all, Zhang Baihu is not his own. If he kills Zhen Wu, the Duke of the country will naturally leave him alone." Clear the relationship, and there is no evidence to say it, who can say that it was ordered by the Duke."

"Oh I got it."

……

Zhang Baihu outside the room was thinking about swearing allegiance to Lan Yu just now, but his heart sank at this moment. It turned out that he was just a chess piece that could be given up at any time.

It's just why I couldn't see these things clearly before. I only knew that Lan Yu was looking for someone to do something, so I hurriedly thought it was an opportunity for myself to make a fortune.

Wealth is charming.

But in Zhang Baihu's heart, there was a deep sense of unwillingness. He has lived his whole life from poverty to the present. Why is he always being looked down upon by others? The big event made everyone look at each other with admiration.

Chapter 212 - The Scholar and Dongchangwei

Zhongshan Wangfu, in the gazebo next to the viewing platform, several empty wine bottles were scattered in a mess, Xu Zengshou leaned on the pillar drunk, his cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know how long he had been drinking.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching from afar, Xu Zengshou acted as if he hadn't heard it, and still raised his head and raised his arms to drink wine.

But the footsteps suddenly rushed a few times.

The visitor quickly walked to Xu Zengshou's side, snatched the flagon held by Xu Zengshou, and then threw it into the lake beside him.

At this time, it was getting late and the lakeside was a bit chilly. The jug fell into the lake, splashing a splash of water, causing the colorful carp in the lake to flee in panic.

"Who will show you how drunk you are for a little shit? I feel ashamed for you even if I say it." Xu Huizu angrily scolded Xu Zengshou.

Xu Zengshou raised his eyes and glanced at his elder brother. Hearing his elder brother's reprimand, he actually grinned. This smile looked a little naive under drunkenness, but there was obvious self-pity in the laughter.

"That's right. I can't be good at martial arts. I can't compare to my elder brother in anything since I was a child. How can I not be ashamed?"

Xu Huizu pointed at Xu Zengshou, trembling with anger and speechless.

Under the cool breeze, Xu Zengshou's voice sounded again: "Actually, I'm not afraid of shame. I don't have the ambition of being a big brother. I always feel that it's okay to accompany my little sister and my little nephew for a while. After my nephew comes to Beijing, I will accompany you again." My nephew is walking around the capital, looking at the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and the second sister-in-law, the eldest sister and brother-in-law, seeing everyone in our family happy, safe and sound, I think it is the best life, our family is the first-class family Family, do you still need me to go to the Guangyao family?!"

This passage from the heart made Xu Huizu a little dumbfounded.

Xu Huizu sighed, suppressed the anger in his heart, then sat down beside him and said, "Are you still blaming me for doing nothing about Zhen Wu?"

"Brother is in charge of the family business, and he needs to consider the safety of the family. No matter how he acts, I will always blame him. I just think of my brother-in-law's advice, and I feel unwilling." Having said this, Xu Zengshou looked at Xu Huizu and said seriously: "And Big Brother doesn’t know Zhen Wu, but I think it’s a pity that Zhen Wu died like this regardless of whether he has anything to do with our family.”

"is it?"

Xu Huizu didn't move at all, and said calmly: "It's a pity that there are too many people in this world who sacrificed their lives in vain."

Xu Zengshou frowned, and he didn't hide Xu Huizu's words while he was drunk. Even if what Xu Huizu said was the truth, he didn't want his elder brother to become such an indifferent person.

Just when he was about to break a few sentences, the voice of Xu Zengshou's personal entourage sounded from a distance at this moment.

"Fourth master, it's amazing, it's amazing."

Before the entourage arrived, the voice had already been transmitted. After the entourage entered the gazebo, they found that Xu Huizu was also there. Just now, he had a somewhat escaped expression, like a mouse seeing a cat, and put it away in an instant, and then honestly Stand still and salute Xu Huizu.

"Wang Xiao has seen the master."

What kind of master, what kind of companion to follow, Xu Zengshou's companion is Wang Xiao, who has been with Xu Zengshou since childhood, and their habits are quite similar.

Wang Xiao is also very afraid of the master Xu Huizu.

"What's so frizzy?" Xu Huizu said with a dark face.
