Chapter 2(1/2)
Based on past experience, the traitor soldier did not take this well-dressed man seriously at all.
Most of the officials in the Ming Dynasty were powerless...
I saw him and rushed forward.
He moved quickly, stretched out his hands, and headed towards Emperor Chongzhen's shoulders, obviously wanting to capture him alive.
When Wang Chengen saw this scene, he felt anxious. However, he couldn't break away from the man's clavicle skill.
"If Banzai is captured by thieves, it will be another great humiliation for the Ming Dynasty in the past three hundred years!"
Wang Chengen lamented.
Zhu Youjian looked at the visitor with a slight smile on his lips.
When he was going down the mountain just now, he felt his body. Although he was not very strong, he still had some strength.
After all, Emperor Chongzhen was only in his thirties.
It's time to be strong.
When Zhu Youjian waited for the enemy to bully him, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the enemy's wrist, suddenly squatted down, turned around, and threw him over his shoulder.
Seeing that he could capture the enemy alive soon, the bandit soldier showed a sneer on his lips.
Suddenly, he was pulled by a force and lifted off the ground inexplicably.
Before he could even react to what was going on, he fell heavily to the ground.
Severe pain all over my body.
Just as he was about to endure the pain and stand up to fight back, he found that his arms were clamped and pinned behind his back.
Hearing a click from his shoulder joint, he lost control of his arms.
Master!
The thieves were in terrible pain and horrified. They were thinking about how to beg for mercy.
"Master..."
After saying these two words, the traitor felt a pair of strong hands placed on his chin and top of his head.
Click!
It's all over, and there is no more glory in the eyes of the thieves.
Zhu Youjian threw away the dead body, stood up straight, took a lunge, raised his foot and kicked the bandits who were locking Wang Chengen.
Right in the middle of the throat.
There was another click.
The thieves who locked Wang Chengen collapsed on the ground.
Wang Chengen was stunned, was this still the emperor he had followed for more than thirty years?
Such clean and neat skills.
Such decisive killing intent.
After he came back from the dead, he was a completely different person.
"Change clothes!" Zhu Youjian said solemnly.
After saying this, he took off the clothes of the traitors on the ground and put them on himself.
"What are you doing standing around, hurry up!"
"According to the order." Wang Chengen's mind was filled with disbelief, and Banzai's temperament completely changed.
This is not the Nine-Five Master who has been in the palace for a long time. He is obviously a well-trained general.
Could it be that wandering between country subjugation and life and death, let Long live...
"Why are you still in a daze? Follow me to Jiaotai Palace at once."
"Long live, you must not do it. There must be thieves in the Jiaotai Palace. It's too dangerous."
"At this moment, we are just bandits." Zhu Youjian said in Shaanxi dialect.
"Long live, you can actually..." Wang Chengen opened his mouth wide.
Zhu Youjian did not explain too much and rushed towards Jiaotai Hall as quickly as possible.
Zhu Youjian speaks with a northern Shaanxi accent, wears the uniform of a rebel army, and has messy hair, yet no one suspects him.
Along the way, the two of them found that the palace was full of people, searching for something.
After questioning, Zhu Youjian learned that Li Zicheng ordered a search for Emperor Chongzhen, and the first meritorious service could lead to the title of marquis.
"This intruder is too stingy. He only gave him a marquis after he captured the emperor." Zhu Youjian muttered.
Wang Chengen didn't think about this, his eyes were full of wariness, and he didn't dare to speak, for fear that his identity would be discovered and Chongzhen would be implicated.
He just followed Chongzhen blindly and soon arrived at Jiaotai Hall.
"Hey, I found it. Keep it safe." Zhu Youjian picked up the jade seal on the dragon case and handed it to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen knew the importance of this treasure, so he quickly put it in his arms and hid it carefully.
"Let's go to Shangbao Prison." Zhu Youjian spoke again.
The jade seal on the dragon case is for the sake of legitimacy. In addition, several jade seals from Shang Baojian must also be taken out of the palace.
This is an important item for the comeback.
There were twenty-four precious seals in the Ming Dynasty, which were treasures passed down from generation to generation by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and a symbol of power in charge of the country and the country.
At this time, there are dangers everywhere, and it is inconvenient to carry them all.
Zhu Youjian only took a few pieces, such as the "Emperor's Trust Treasure" used to mobilize troops.
The "edict's treasure" and "edict's treasure" used in the imperial edict.
The "Treasure of Guangyun" used to reward officials.
He and Wang Chengen found the remaining 19 seals in a well and threw them down.
Zhu Youjian searched for as much gold and silver as possible and left quickly.
"Let's go out of the palace!"
"Long live the palace, the palace is heavily guarded. It's not easy to get out." Wang Chengen felt very unsure.
"You think too highly of intruders. It's very easy to leave the city, let alone the palace." Zhu Youjian walked like a tiger, walking between the thieves and soldiers without changing his expression.
When all the thieves and soldiers saw Chongzhen, they all thought he was one of their own, and no one checked him at all.
Originally, Zhu Youjian had prepared a set of rhetoric to deal with the palace guards.
Who would have thought that there would be no guards at all? Imagine that all the thieves and soldiers were searching for the emperor and fighting for the title of marquis.
Zhu Youjian and his two men were walking in the city of Beijing, and all they saw was a scene of war and chaos.
The capital is like withered flowers, no longer as prosperous as it once was.
"With such an army, no wonder Li Zicheng was destroyed so early in history!" Zhu Youjian sighed.
"Wan..., be careful." Wang Chengen saw the two cavalrymen walking on the street as if they were deserted. They did not avoid pedestrians and rushed over in a hurry.
Wang Cheng'en was so anxious that he almost shouted "Long live".
Zhu Youjian turned his head sharply and was about to avoid it, but found that Wang Chengen was already blocking him.
I saw Wang Chengen ducking and rushing to the cavalry, grabbing a rein with one hand, shouting lowly, and throwing the two horses out like a heavy weight.
"What a skill!" Zhu Youjian couldn't help shouting. With such an expert by his side, the chance of success is a little higher.
Wang Chengen saw that the two thieves had bamboo tubes on their bodies, and guessed that they were messengers.
While the two of them were unconscious, they killed them directly.
Immediately he took off the bamboo tube, took out the letter inside and read through it at a glance.
"Long live this, this is the letter from Wu Sangui's affair with Li Zicheng!" Wang Cheng'en said in a voiceless voice.
"Normally, within half a month, 99% of the officials north of the Huaihe River will surrender to the intruders." Zhu Youjian understood the trend of history very well.
Historically, after Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, most officials in the capital, Hebei, and Shandong surrendered directly. Those who did not surrender ran to Nanjing on their own.
Who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty that has not paid wages for many years?
"What should we do?" Wang Chengen was very worried.
Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said with a smile: "They are all rubbish. Once they are surrendered, they will be surrendered."
Wang Chengen was puzzled.
"I will explain to you when the time comes. You go and see if the two horses can still be ridden. The top priority now is to go to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible." Zhu Youjian said.
Wang Chengen thought he had heard wrong and said in surprise: "Long live, Wu Sangui is currently in Shanhaiguan. If you go there, you will be falling into a trap."
"Haha, don't worry, Wu Sangui won't surrender to the intruders."
To be continued...
