Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 75 The Battle of Beijing and China

Seeing the king of Shu fell to the ground after being poisoned, Qingyu smiled triumphantly. Now that his identity has been exposed, he naturally wants to run away as soon as possible.The king of Shu is very powerful in martial arts, if he is not brought down, it will be difficult to escape.

Although murdering an imperial relative is a major crime of beheading, as long as he can escape from here this time, he will go far away, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't show his face to others.And... this Mo Qingju was originally the property of King Yan, and he didn't fight alone. It's not easy to get out of his own territory?

Qingyu knew that the King of Shu might have put eyeliner nearby, so she didn't dare to be careless, so she put on the mask prepared in the house and put on makeup carefully, pretending to be an ordinary man with prominent cheekbones and a few thin beards on his face After a while, he changed into a servant's clothes, and then quietly called the madam to discuss.

Due to her identity being exposed, Qingyu dared not go to King Yan's mansion again to arouse suspicion, so she only handed the secret letter to the old bustard, and ordered someone to deliver it to King Yan as soon as possible, and entered the secret way.

The old bustard sent Qingyu to the entrance of the secret road, and when he was about to leave, Qingyu suddenly stopped him and told him: "The King of Shu has a noble status, so don't hurt his life. When he wakes up, he can send him back and put all the blame on him." It's on my head."

The old bustard gave Qingyu a strange look, and said: "Why, you really fell in love with the King of Shu? It's not in your character not to commit murder!"

"It depends on how fast this person is." Qingyu glared at the old bustard, "If there is something wrong with the King of Shu, even if the blame is placed on me, you will not be able to run away, even if the emperor does not kill you all, this Mo Qing Ju also definitely can’t go on.”

The old bustard nodded and said, "Understood, you can rest assured."

On the surface, this Mo Qing residence looks like a small land, just like an ordinary dwelling, but the underground has a unique cavern, and the winding tunnel has been built all the way to the northern suburbs of the capital.

Qingyu ran all the way after entering the secret passage, and arrived at the exit in only half an hour.After checking that the sealing cover was the same, he pushed the cover out of the secret passage.The entrance of the secret road is connected to a residential house full of sundries. Qingyu adjusted her clothes and pushed the door out.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, he suddenly saw a situation of catching a turtle in a urn outside the door——

A group of people held torches, illuminating the outside of the house like daylight, and standing at the front was Xia Ziling who had just come to look for the King of Shu.

Xia Ziling said in a loud voice: "Young Master Qingyu, I have been waiting for a long time, please catch him with your arms tied."

Qingyu changed his face at this time. This time, he also paid special attention to his voice, and immediately replied tremblingly with a slightly low tone: "Master, what are you going to do? I'm just an ordinary farmer living here. You got the wrong person."

Xia Ziling smiled but said nothing, but a feminine and beautiful young man walked out from behind, and said, "Lan Qing, I'm here, what are you pretending to be?"

Qingyu's expression changed, she took two steps back, and said, "Haoyue, you..."

The person who came was none other than Haoyue, another top card of Lanyue Pavilion in Zhongdu.

Haoyue grinned, "I... what am I? Why did I betray His Royal Highness King Yan? People make money and birds die for food. This is an eternal truth, isn't it? King Yan is partial, so don't blame me for being unrighteous." .”

He and Lan Qing were originally two pawns laid by King Yan in Goulan. In terms of serving guests, he paid more than Lan Qing. The important task of entering Beijing is only entrusted to Yu Lanqing.Even if he allowed thousands of people to sleep on hundreds of people for the great cause of King Yan, King Yan would just treat him as a lowly servant girl.

Fortunately, the Dai Wang did not give up, and he was somewhat attached to his broken body. Although he had done unrighteous things in Zhongdu before, the Dai Wang still did not give up, and chased after him obsessively.After being entangled by Zhu Gui in Zhongdu for three months, Haoyue was finally moved by him, and secretly joined the Daiwang forces.Simply loyal to any prince, glory and wealth are indispensable.It's better to follow Dai Wang who has some affection for him than to follow Yan Wang who doesn't regard himself as a human being, right?

However, Lan Qing and others could not be aware of this trick of catching a turtle in a urn beforehand.In fact, after Zhu Gui took Haoyue away, he had already restrained himself from that romantic place, and his visit to Mo Qingju a few days ago was just an act of luring a snake out of its hole.

Haoyue knew that Lanqing was very courageous, if he dared to do something that hurt the feudal lord's body, their death would not be far away.

Although Haoyue is not as trustworthy as she is by the King of Yan, and participates in some extremely secret matters, she is also one of the higher-ups in Mo Qingju and is familiar with the layout of the secret passage.Seeing Haoyue here, Lan Qing knew that she was doomed this time, so she no longer tried to defend herself, she just stood there with a gloomy expression on her face.

"Be careful with the poisoned arrow in his sleeve!" Haoyue exclaimed suddenly, but the cry was at the right time. Before his voice fell, Lan Qing had already released the hidden weapon in his sleeve and jumped up. Give it a go.

When Haoyue yelled, Xia Ziling and others quickly dodged to avoid Lan Qing's hidden weapon. With a few "ding ding", all the hidden weapons fell to the ground.

This night, Mu Sheng brought five hundred brothers from the rear army here, and he was determined not to let Lan Qing escape.Mu Sheng was about to jump on his body to wrestle with Lan Qing, but Xia Ziling grabbed him and said, "He's the only one here, it's okay, you go back to Mo Qingju and meet the prince."

Although Zhu Chun had already arranged manpower to support them, these maidservants would not dare to kill the King of Shu, but Xia Ziling was still a little worried.

Mu Sheng was still a little worried, and said, "This person is cunning, can you do it?"

Xia Ziling said with confidence: "So many brothers, don't you feel at ease? He's just a pawn. If we can't take him down, wouldn't I, Xia Ziling, be disgraced?"

Mu Sheng smiled, patted Xia Ziling on the shoulder and said, "Be careful." Then he led a dozen people on horseback and headed towards Mo Qingju.

Before Xia Ziling made a move, Wang Si had already brought three or four people to fight with Lan Qing.It can be said that Lan Qingxiu has a hidden hole in it. Under the siege of several people, while dodging to protect themselves, they shoot sleeve arrows, darts and other things from the sleeve.Wang Si and the others were worried that these hidden weapons of his were poisoned, and they were afraid of their hands and feet, so they really couldn't do anything about him for a while.

Xia Ziling smiled lightly, stood a hundred meters away, took out something from his bosom, and pointed it at Lan Qing.In the era of cold weapons, Lan Qing's poisoned hidden weapons were indeed terrifying, but they were vulnerable to hot weapons.Fortunately, Wang Si and the others were afraid of poisoning him and did not dare to get close to him, so they kept away for a certain distance, but he used the firecracker just in time, so that they would not hurt his own people.

Xia Ziling held the blunderbuss in one hand, and ignited the matchlock with a fire pleat in the other. When the matchstick burned to the barrel, he pulled the trigger firmly, and there was a "bang", and the gunpowder hit Lanqing's right leg. Bloody.

Lan Qing fell to the ground in pain, groaning incessantly, and she still had the slightest ability to resist.Wang Si and others took advantage of the situation to surround him and tied him up without any effort.

For someone like Lanqing, who will be handed over to Jin Yiwei later, there are plenty of ways to interrogate him.Xia Ziling was more worried about Zhu Chun's safety, so he jumped on his horse and galloped towards Mo Qingju.

When Xia Ziling arrived at Mo Qingju, Mo Qingju was surrounded by the guards of Shu Palace.Zhang Shou had been waiting for Xia Ziling at the door, and when he saw the latter galloping towards him, he called "Lord Xia" and led him into the house.

In the private room, Zhu Chun had just woken up after the imperial physician administered the refreshing medicine, and was resting against the bed rail.Seeing Xia Ziling enter the room, he straightened up and got out of bed.

"My lord, Lan Qing has been captured, are you in good health?"

"It's okay, the imperial doctor just visited him, and what he used was just a drowsy drug, and it didn't do any harm to the body." Zhu Chun watched Xia Ziling come in a hurry, with a few drops of sweat hanging on his forehead , a warm heart.Although it was agreed that day that he would only be a monarch and minister, Xia Ziling's concern for him still made him very pleased.

"That's good. Can the evidence be collected properly?"

Zhu Chun said: "I only drank half of the tea just now, and the other half was kept in front of me before I passed out. The bustard didn't have time to destroy it, so I just kept it as a witness."

"Well, that's very good." Xia Ziling finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and his hanging heart was relieved, "It's a pity that after this battle, Zhu Gaochi would definitely not dare to bring many guards into the capital. The impeachment of him must be done." We have to let it go."

Zhu Chun smiled, "It's impossible to take care of everything. The fourth brother has more than one son. Even if he loses his son, it's not a big deal. It's more important to destroy his stronghold."

Xia Ziling nodded, and when Zhu Chun proposed to put himself in danger, if Lanqing really dared to harm him, the emperor would definitely punish him severely, he was still a little worried.But now it seems that everything is going smoothly. The last time Lan Yu was set up by the King of Yan to break through, now he can finally win back.

This Moqing residence, as well as the Lanyue Pavilion in the central capital, are important places for Yan Wang to collect information, so as to spy on the secrets of the vassal kings.If these two strongholds are not destroyed, he will always be at a disadvantage in the battle of the vassal kings.

In fact, it is also tacit understanding that the princes announced some secret points to spy on the news, but it is another matter for the King of Yan to indulge his subordinates and dare to hurt the noble body of the King of Shu.Before this matter was reported to the Holy Spirit, Emperor Hongwu would definitely be furious. Not only would the Moqingju and Lanyue Pavilion not be open anymore, it is estimated that King Yan should restrain himself a bit from now on.

Xia Ziling thought for a while, and added: "However, King Yan's spying on the source of the news, this is one place, and the other one will be difficult."

Zhu Chun said, "Oh? Where is the other place?"

Xia Ziling leaned into Zhu Chun's ear softly and said, "A servant in the palace."

Zhu Chun was startled, "How do you know?"

"I guessed it." According to the history books, it was in the palace that the eunuchs were used as eyes and ears to collect information, so that King Yan took the lead in the battle for the throne with Emperor Jianwen.Although the current situation is slightly different from that in the history books, he believes that King Yan will still use this trick.

"Guess? Let's talk about it later, there is always a way. At least destroy his place, and we can sleep in peace in the capital." Zhu Chun paused, and said, "Let's go, go back and rest, you It's blue now, could it be that you haven't slept well these days?"

Xia Ziling smiled lightly, "Of course it's not as good as my lord, you sleep well in this gentle town every day."

Zhu Chun: "..."
