[Ming History + Legend of Lu Xiaofeng] Ninety-five Supreme

The streets paved with slabs are wide and open.

When we arrived at Chenliu, we were not far from Kaifeng Mansion. It seemed that we could already see the endless plain outside Kaifeng City.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Xiao Er rushed out to greet him, and started his business very familiarly: "The distinguished guests are here, and we should stay at the top. Chenliu's inn is the cleanest among us."

Shi Hong wanted to speak.

Zhu Yijun said: "Stay in the hotel!" Shi Hong looked surprised, and looked at Zhu Yijun and looked at each other.

I hurried on my way before it was clear last night, I didn't expect to be settled here today, and Kaifeng Mansion is just ahead.

Zhu Yijun quietly waved to a guard, turned and left.

Such a small county.Speaking of the upper room, it is just a relatively spacious small room in this place with no village in front and no shop behind.

Quickly and leap forward, rush back to Beijing.

What Zhu Yijun was worried about finally came.

Being able to use Zhang Juzheng's illness to attract his attention was forced by the situation or planned for a long time.

Luanjia in Shandong was attacked, and Zhu Yijun's going to the south of the Yangtze River has never been heard. Where is it, what went wrong, and who set up an ambush.

In this dead silence, a person flashed into Zhu Yijun's room, kneeling on the ground on one knee.

He recognized the person who came, it was the guard just now, and said with a serious face: "Commander Wei, you go to the Qianhu Office in Ruzhou immediately, and ask Yan Guan to rescue him."

After finishing speaking, he tore off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it over, "I gave him the right to mobilize troops and horses."

Wei Ziyun is the commander of the imperial guards, and this time the emperor will be escorted all the way out of the palace.

Hearing this, his heart trembled, he looked up in shock, and looked at Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, you doubt Shi Hong..."

Zhu Yijun frowned, shook his head, and interjected: "I will leave this place tomorrow morning, you will leave immediately, you need to go and return quickly."

After a pause, he continued: "If you meet Qi Jiguang, you will attract him."

Wei Ziyun knelt down on one knee with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, the emperor! I will definitely live up to expectations and deliver the news!"

Wei Ziyun took the jade pendant, put it in his arms, and jumped out.

The next day, the warm sunlight shrouded the small county town, there were many pedestrians on the street, and the teahouses and restaurants were also extremely lively.

There should be a hundred households in Chenliu County, but Jin Yiwei, who is stationed there, has not been seen for a whole morning.

Shi Hong saw that the emperor was not ready to leave for a long time, and the old god was sitting there drinking tea, feeling very anxious in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's better to get on the road earlier, Mr. Hua should be in a hurry."

Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes and looked ahead thoughtfully.

Riding on Juechen, the angry horse in fresh clothes, rushed out of the city gate, and the straight official road could not be seen to the end.

The vegetation on the mountain is lush and lush, and the bright colors invigorate the spirit, creating a vibrant scene.The breeze blows from the south to the north, which makes people feel cool.The forests and trees on both sides are also swaying with the wind, and the sound of rushing is even more silent.

Zhu Yijun and his party walked more and more sideways, from the flat official road to a forest.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone got off their horses and walked to a small pool to rest.

Shi Hong was puzzled, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, maybe you remember wrongly, this road is not to Kaifeng."

The surrounding guards quietly surrounded him.

After a while, Zhu Yijun said calmly: "Your memory is wrong, when did I say I was going to Kaifeng?"

Shi Hong was startled when he heard the words, his face darkened, and he said, "Where is the emperor going?"

Seeing that the emperor had noticed the clue, he glanced at the horses that were far away, and knew that there was no way to escape.He gritted his teeth and replied, without the slightest respect from before in his tone.

Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows, instead of answering the question, he glanced over sharply, and gritted his teeth: "I don't know when there will be more Deng Qianhu in the Jinyiwei. Why don't Shi Qianhu explain it to me."

Shi Hong's body froze, his heart froze, and with a long knife in his hand, he jumped towards him with a flash.

Zhu Yijun has always been sensitive to six senses, and felt a ray of cold light shooting towards him.

He was very skilled, he retreated swiftly, just as he took out the dagger from his pocket, Shi Hong was overwhelmed by the surrounding guards and knelt down.

"You have always wanted to lure me to Henan, who is there?"

Shi Hong turned his head away and did not answer.

Zhu Yijun didn't care, and said to himself, "There were very few soldiers along the way, and they were obviously transferred. You don't have so much energy for a thousand households in the state capital, so you should have a commander of the guard."

Shi Hong didn't seem to hear, he kept his mouth shut and continued to pretend to be bored.

Zhu Yijun laughed back in anger, and said coldly: "However, if it is in Henan, there is still a royal guard."

He put the dagger on Shi Hong's neck, leaving a bloodstain, and said with a sullen face, "Don't think I don't know. King Liao, King Chu, King Jing, and King Yi are all in Henan."

"Oh, who do you want me to suspect." Zhu Yijun sneered.

Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered that the elites of the army were the ones who attacked Shandong. Some guessed the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the dagger in his hand became two points heavier, sticking to the main artery.

I don't know how many people have been killed by this dagger, the blade is extremely sharp, with faint marks of blood and light, and a faint murderous aura.Shi Hong could only feel the cold air, the icy dagger pierced through his muscles and bones, causing tremors on his back.

Shi Hong raised his eyes to look at the emperor, with sarcasm in his eyes, he laughed and said: "What does the emperor want to know from me, is the feudal lord rebelling?"

He paused, and said maliciously: "I want to know if that old man Zhang Juzheng is dead!"

Zhu Yijun's heart skipped a beat, his eyes were cold, and he asked, "Where did this letter come from?"

Shi Hong raised his head, looked directly at him, and said loudly with pleasure, "Hua Yulou's handwriting is naturally taken from him."

Zhu Yijun asked again: "Is Huayulou in Henan?"

Shi Hong said: "Naturally."

The guard at the side kicked him hard, Shi Hong spat out blood, bent his body and coughed in a low voice.

Zhu Yijun put away the dagger and stepped aside, "You'd better not lie."

Shi Hong raised his head, his eyes were vicious and murderous, with blood on the corner of his mouth, he said viciously: "Zhang Juzheng is dead, even if you go back to Beijing now, you can only pick up his old bones."

"I have already spread the news about you in Chenliu last night. There is no way you can leave Henan alive."

Zhu Yijun sneered, disturbed by his words, couldn't help shouting angrily: "Whether you die or not, who has the final say. Whether you die or not, I have the final say!"

Intimidated by his almost devouring anger, Shi Hong suddenly fell silent, and even his breathing couldn't help but ease.

Confused, Zhu Yijun kicked out the stone at his feet mercilessly, with energy, the force of a stone pierced his throat.

Is Zhang Juzheng dead?The gentleman who taught him the way of governing the country, praised him and taught him a lesson, is dying?

"Let's go back to Nanzhili!"

The Cining Palace is a very small palace, where the Empress Dowager Cisheng lived.

The design of the inner hall is still so simple, and the picture of spring plowing still hangs on the screen. The Empress Dowager Cisheng just came back from Ciqing Palace. Since she moved out of Qianqing Palace, she often went to visit Empress Chen to worship Buddha.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Cisheng collapsed on the soft couch, her face was pale, tears were pouring out of her beautiful eyes, and she looked blankly at the happy and happy face of the peasant woman on the screen.

She no longer had the solemnity and grace of the past, and she was just an ordinary woman at this moment.

She knew two bad news, one was that the emperor was assassinated, and the other was that Zhang Juzheng was dying.

These are the two men who occupied an important place in her life.

King Lu came out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, walked outside the palace, and saw an old and fat eunuch walking towards him from a distance.

He is a sunny and handsome man with bronzed skin and a big smile showing two canine teeth. He looks extremely pleasing.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, but his eyes were full of sadness.

"I've seen it, King Lu is a thousand years old!"

Lu Wang smiled as brightly as the sun, and said, "Where is Mr. Feng going?"

Feng Baodao: "This old slave is going to see the Empress Dowager."

King Lu remained silent.Feng Baodao: "Your Highness, do you know about the emperor's assassination?"

When Lu Wang heard the words, he looked worried and anxious, and sighed: "Elder-in-law also got the news. This king just went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and wanted to know some news about the emperor's brother. I didn't expect that the mother would worry about it."

After a pause, he said again: "Brother Huang's Luanjia on his way back was attacked, and I don't know what's going on now."

Feng Bao lowered his eyes, smiled amiably, and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Emperor will be unscathed."

When Lu Wang heard it, he let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "With my father-in-law's words, this king is relieved. Today, there are many disorderly officials and thieves, and this king is really worried for the emperor's brother. "

Feng Bao ignored it and didn't answer.

King Lu's eyes flashed, he looked at Feng Bao, and said, "I heard that Zhang Shoufu is seriously ill. I don't know if Eunuch Feng has heard of it."

Hearing this, Feng Bao replied slowly, "I've never heard of it."

Feng Bao left King Lu and walked towards the Palace of Compassion.

Zhang Juzheng sent someone to look for him yesterday, but he did not expect that the chief minister of a generation of power ministers would end up like a walking corpse.

He is old, he is older than Zhang Juzheng, and he is almost seventy now.

Some people say he is a good guy, but he is not.Some say he's a bad guy, and he's not.He wasn't even a man.

Zhang Juzheng is not afraid of death, so what is he afraid of.Feng Bao was afraid of death.

But, Your Majesty!

critically ill return

Zhu Yijun ordered to go.

Without stopping for a moment, the guards got on their horses and hurriedly patted their horses and ran towards the south.

He just wanted to delay time, but he didn't want it to come so soon.

Before he had gone twenty miles, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and the sound of hoofs stamping on the ground made the ground tremble.

There are a lot of people here!At least no less than 500 people!

No, maybe more!But less than a thousand!

The pursuers behind him shouted to the ministers to come to rescue him, and at the same time chased him fiercely with murderous intent.

Zhu Yijun's heart was turbulent, because the opponent was not some rogue soldier, but a real elite in the army.

They seemed to be in love with Zhu Yijun, chasing after him and getting closer.Zhu Yijun and others hurried back, hoping to meet the soldiers and horses who came to rescue Qi Jiguang or Wei Ziyun.

The cavalry arrived very quickly, and the mounts of the royal servants were all war horses, which were much different from the horses Zhu Yijun and the others bought in ordinary horse markets.

But within a few hours, the cavalry had surrounded them all.

I couldn't run, so I had to stop.

The seven guards drew their swords one after another, protected Zhu Yijun in the center, and looked around as if facing a formidable enemy.

The yellow dust raised by the horse's hooves hadn't settled yet, and a gap was opened in the encirclement, and a man rode forward alone.

Zhu Yijun squinted slightly when he saw Qing coming, and looked at him calmly.

Sure enough it was him!

If God wants to destroy a person, he must first make him crazy.

The person who came got off his horse, knelt on the ground and saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the delay in the rescue."

Zhu Yijun's eyebrows gathered slightly, he snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Save me? I don't think so. Is this how Commander Luo rescued you?"

The person who came was Hu Yan's subordinate, the commander of Zhengzhou Guard, Luo Chao.

Zhu Yijun was so annoyed that he wanted to tear him apart.

Luo Chao was still holding the unsheathed sword in his hand at the moment, although he made a big salute, he didn't show any respect.

The cavalry behind them were also armed with weapons, and they didn't intend to dismount to salute.

Sure enough, Luo Chao stood up indifferently, ignoring the emperor's threats, and smiled unscrupulously: "When the emperor comes to Kaifeng with me, he will naturally offer you delicious wine and beauties. Now I have to wrong the emperor. There are a lot of bandits and rebels here. Please let me know." Your Majesty, follow me back!"

As soon as the words came out, the wind stopped, but it was strangely quiet.

This time, Lian Chen didn't say anything, it was directly about 'me, you'.

A guard beside Zhu Yijun finally couldn't hold back and shouted loudly: "Rebellious ministers and thieves! Are you planning to rebel?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of '嗖', and more than a dozen arrow feathers shot out from all directions, and everyone knocked them down with swords.

The enemy is outnumbered, no matter how high the martial arts is, it can't stop the wave after wave of arrows.

In a moment, the guard was shot into a hedgehog by several feather arrows and fell to the ground.

Luo Chao met Zhu Yijun's cold eyes, felt a chill in his heart, calmed down quickly, and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, this person is the traitor I shot and killed, so there is no need for a heavy reward, please come with us on the road." Let me do my best as a landlord."

Zhu Yijun thought blankly, and waved his hand to make the guards stop.

Seeing this, Luo Chao thought that the emperor was subdued, so he smiled proudly, and said, "The emperor really knows how to advance and retreat, so it saves me from doing it."

He pretended to change horses, and walked towards the horses pretendingly, and said as he walked, "As the commander of the guards, you are entrenched in one side, and you will certainly have no shortage of money. This kind of treasonous act is not for money but for power!"

"What position does that person allow you to be, governor, commander, general Longhu, or the official of the frontier?"

Zhu Yijun's eyes and tone were extremely sarcastic, and there was sarcasm on his handsome face.

Luo Chao looked impatient, and arrogantly stepped forward with some threats, and said in a vicious tone: "Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense, move faster, maybe you want me to help you."

The guards followed Zhu Yijun step by step. Luo Chao kept his vigilance as a warrior. Although he took a few steps forward, he still wisely kept a certain distance from them.

With a calm tone, Zhu Yijun glanced at him indifferently, and shouted, "Then who told you to do this!"

He was bluffing, with an air of prestige without anger, which made Luo Chao's heart tremble, and subconsciously wanted to answer, but then changed his mind and said: "I am under General Qi's tent."

He guessed that Luo Chao would not dare to offend him easily, or he might have got an order to capture him alive, so he said fiercely: "Qi Jiguang, when did he get another dog who betrayed the owner and begged for glory?"

Luo Chao was furious, blushing like a bullfight, and pushed Zhu Yijun in front of a war horse.

"Get on the horse."

Zhu Yijun looked at the front coldly, and mocked: "Even if Qi Jiguang's subordinates, look who it is." After speaking, he pointed at him casually.

Luo Chao's heart trembled, and he followed his expectations. A guard beside Zhu Yijun, with his feet accumulating strength, turned around and swept towards Luo Chao with a long knife in his hand. A cold light flashed in front of his eyes, a murderous aura rushed towards his face, his neck felt cold, and it was too late to retreat, the guard's long knife had already touched the tip of his throat, leaving a bloodstain.

Zhu Yijun was overjoyed and had no time to move.

At this time, a soldier in the cavalry was merciless, he drew his bow and drew the string, and the arrow flew out of the string.

Shooting Luo Chao and the guard together, Luo Chao took the opportunity to slit the man's throat and kicked him in front of Zhu Yijun.

"Little Lizi did a good job!" Luo Chao grinned and pulled out the arrow on his right chest, and threw it at Zhu Yijun's feet. Half of the long arrows hit the ground, shaking the ground. "Your majesty, it seems that you are not as smart as I imagined, and you still haven't understood what's going on."

After finishing speaking, he slashed at a guard with his backhand, and the man dodged sideways but died in successive feather arrows.

He glared at the emperor angrily and gasped for breath, but he didn't attack Zhu Yijun after all.At this moment there were only five guards left. Zhu Yijun didn't want to cause any more unintentional casualties, so he had no choice but to get on his horse. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black cloud floating over the plain. coming"

Luo Chao turned cold, and said, "Don't force me to move..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, but it was in front of him in an instant.

It's the Imperial Guard.

how many came!At least no less than a thousand!

No!Maybe more!Definitely two thousand!

Between the heaven and the earth, there was a chill, and even the birds that occasionally hovered chose to fly away again.

The first one to arrive was a heroic general riding a black horse, with sharp brows, violent and menacing momentum.

Luo Chao's expression changed suddenly, it was Qi Jiguang!

The sharp arrow that flickered with cold light roared sharply, and shot away a cavalry soldier beside Zhu Yijun.

Qi Jiguang clamped Wu Xueya's legs tightly, the black horse raised its head and neighed, and charged into the enemy's formation with a long knife in its hand.He wanted to kill a bloody path for Zhu Yijun.

A hundred soldiers rushed in after them, slashing and killing all the way.And thousands of guards surrounded the perimeter, strangling and marching in.

Severed limbs flew, and blood filled the sky.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhu Yijun slapped his whip, and the man and horse rushed out, the dagger in his hand danced like water, and ran towards Qi Jiguang.

Luo Chao was terrified, and hurriedly chased Zhu Yijun, shouting angrily: "Kill the emperor first!"

The archers around were ordered to aim at Zhu Yijun one after another, but after a while, several guards who helped Zhu Yijun block the arrows died.

Only at this moment did he know what it means to be defeated by two fists and four hands. The guards guarding the emperor had been shot to death by Liu Ya and only one person remained.

Zhu Yijun felt great hatred in his heart.As soon as the arrow hit, the feathered arrows flew towards him one after another. Zhu Yijun swung the dagger and tried his best to block it.

He was clumsy on the left and the right, and a bloody gash was drawn on his cheek by the passing arrow without paying attention. Taking advantage of the approach of the emperor, Luo Chao quickly drew the bowstring, drew the bow and pointed the arrow at Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun kicked with all his strength when he saw it, As a result, his internal energy was exhausted, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.An arrow shot by the meteor chasing the moon 'swish', and the arrow pierced his clothes and nailed it to the grass.

There was another 'whoosh' sound, the little plum shot three arrows in succession, two arrows shot directly at the bodyguard who was blocking Zhu Yijun's arrows, but the last arrow fell on Zhu Yijun's chest, but he hit several arrows in a row.

Qi Jiguang rode his horse and arrived, his body was like a vigorous dragon. With a loud shout, he swung his steel knife and slashed at Luo Chao.

In an instant, Luo Chao saw the emperor's body was heavy with arrows, and his body collapsed to the ground.The color of astonishment and ecstasy froze on his face, blood suddenly spurted out from his neck, and a head dragged a red line in midair, and landed on the plain.

The main general died, and the remaining soldiers killed and surrendered. In the end, less than 50 rebels survived.

Xiao Lizi was the lieutenant general. Seeing the death of the emperor, Luo Chao and the Imperial Army who took out a long rope to capture him alive, he sighed and slashed his knife.And Wei Ziyun who was the closest to him, who had been stabbed in the shoulder by him before, unceremoniously cut off his head, spat in bad luck, lifted his head and held it in his hand, and Luo Chao's head was also cut off. After picking them up, all the officers of certain ranks were hacked down, and they were going to wait to receive the reward.

Qi Jiguang quickly walked in front of Zhu Yijun, and knelt down on one knee: "I kowtow to the emperor, I hope the emperor will forgive me when I come to save you."

The guards around looked at the emperor's 'corpse' and looked at each other. They all knelt down and saluted, while Zhu Yijun stood up while the soldiers were stunned, and waved away the arrows on his body.

He said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang said that a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall or hang on a thread, but it is still possible to use a little plan."

Zhu Yijun helped Qi Jiguang up with his own hands.Under the scorching sun, the silver armor reflected a little bit of orange light, and his armor was already stained red with blood.Zhu Yijun was also covered in blood.

When Qi Jiguang heard this, the murderous look in his eyes faded a little, and he could not bear to be sad, he said: "Your Majesty, let's go back to Beijing quickly!"

"Zhang Juzheng is dead?"

His eyes were as cold as a wind knife and as firm as the roots of an ancient tree.

Qi Jiguang didn't answer, but just passed Wu Xueya.

A gust of summer wind blew past, blowing blood all over the sky, and the words were also fluttering in the wind.

After Huayulou left the capital, he went straight to Shandong to find Qi Jiguang, and once Qi Jiguang killed the Zhengzhou mutiny, Huayulou would stabilize Henan.On the way back to Beijing, Qi Jiguang made the way obviously much smoother. He rushed for days and nights, tossing the frail Huaben so much that he vomited and diarrhea, and finally passed out.
