historical royal courier

Chapter 43 I am back
Wang Chengen followed the voice and found a head protruding from the refugee. When everyone was lying on their stomachs, this kneeling one was very conspicuous.

This person just saw Wang Chengen suddenly, and shouted out of excitement. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was in such a conspicuous position, and hurriedly lay down on the ground, trembling.

Wang Chengen walked over slowly, stood in front of him for a while, seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly said after a while:
"Hehe, I thought who it was, it turned out to be Eunuch Cao, tsk tsk, no wonder the voice sounded so familiar just now, Eunuch Cao, long time no see!"

Wang Chengen said this last sentence with gritted teeth. For Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen hated him even more than Zhu Youjian. Everyone was an eunuch and Zhu Youjian's slaves. If Zhu Youjian hadn't appreciated him in the first place, Where did he get such a status, he didn't know where he died in the corner of the palace.

But how did he treat his master? He actually took refuge in Li Zicheng and opened the door for Li Zicheng. If Li Yi hadn't arrived in time, he and Zhu Youjian would be two corpses hanging on Meishan Mountain.

"Eunuch Wang, don't waste time. We will take revenge later on. The most important thing now is to catch Li Zicheng, the culprit."

Meng Tian didn't want to procrastinate, he just wanted to catch Li Zicheng early so that he could rest assured.

"Okay, then I'll listen to General Meng, but can General Meng send a few people to keep an eye on this white-eyed wolf. I want to hand him over to the emperor to vent his anger when the emperor arrives."

"No problem at all."

Meng Tian waved his hand, and immediately a few people came over and tied Cao Huachun up, and at the same time stuffed a rag in his mouth, for fear that he would bite his tongue and kill himself.

Taking a last look at Cao Huachun who was tied into a rice dumpling, Wang Chengen smiled, perhaps he would be happier seeing this gift when the emperor came back.

Wang Chengen took Meng Tian all the way to the palace where Zhu Youjian lived before. After searching carefully, he found that he was no longer there. At the same time, he also searched the surrounding palaces, and found that there was no sign of Li Zicheng, so he randomly grabbed a maid for questioning.

"My lord, Li Zicheng, the emperor's traitor, just slipped out of the back door, and he also emptied the treasury with several carriages."

Hearing this, Meng Tian didn't continue to stay in the palace, and led his men to chase after him. Wang Chengen's gift to Zhu Youjian had already been caught, but his own gift to His Majesty was about to run away.

"Your Majesty, why don't you throw away a few carriages, our speed is too slow now."

"No, these carriages are full of babies, and aren't we about to leave the city soon? We will be safe in the wilderness by then."

Li Zicheng was reluctant to throw away the money at all, and he was indifferent to Niu Jinxing's persuasion.

When he came to the gate of the city, Li Zicheng had already arranged people to meet him here. They changed their clothes, dressed themselves up as ordinary rich men fleeing from refugees, and then hid themselves among the fleeing crowd.

When he was about to leave the city gate, Li Zicheng glanced at the Daming Palace and sighed. He still had the idea that he could fight back, so he didn't set fire to the capital like in history.

"Let's go, Your Majesty, we will be back soon."

"Well, let's go."

A group of people drove the carriage neither too fast nor too slow, all in order to make their team inconspicuous among the refugees.

After a while, the carriage stopped suddenly. Li Zicheng was startled, and hurriedly asked the driver,
"What's going on, why did it stop?"

"Your Majesty, there are people in front of you who are interrogating you, and you are not allowed to pass through, saying that you will not be able to leave until tomorrow."

"How could this be? Is the sky going to kill me?"

Li Zicheng's face was pale, and he sat slumped in the carriage, unable to recall his whole life.

I have lived a wonderful life, I have enjoyed what I deserve, and I have gotten the glory I deserve. I may have done a lot of evil, but I have done a lot of good things, but all of them suddenly disappeared. Thinking about it, it is still very painful. Not reconciled.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Opening the curtain of the car, Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin both appeared in front of Li Zicheng. Seeing Li Zicheng's pale face, Niu Jinxing hurried over to pull it away.
"Your Majesty, cheer up, we can continue to run, let's take the side path and go around quietly."

"real?"

Faced with a glimmer of life, Li Zicheng showed great desire.

"You'll know after you try it. Your Majesty, are we just going to sit back and wait for death?"

"Okay, try, let's try."

Pulling himself together, Li Zicheng asked the coachman to follow Niu Jinxing's carriage, and quietly slipped away from the refugee team.

"General, the scouts came to report that a convoy just slipped away."

"Yo, I'm hooked, let's go, leave 2000 people here, and the other 3000 people follow me."

When Meng Yi was waiting here, he could hear the sound of gunfire in front of him, but he could only wait here. After waiting for so long, the big fish really took the bait. It seemed that the wait was not in vain.

Meng Yi took three thousand cavalry and asked the scouts who came back to report the news to lead the way, and went to arrest the people excitedly.

Li Zicheng's motorcade drove in fear for a while, but found that there was no one there. Just as he relaxed, the sound of horseshoes came from behind.

"The carriage in front, stop, hurry up, stop and check."

Hearing the shout, Li Zicheng hurriedly shouted,

"Quickly, throw away the silver on the cart, remember not to pile it up, sprinkle it as you run, hurry up."

At this critical moment, Li Zicheng couldn't care less about whether he had money or not. If he lost his life, all the money would be fake.

Hearing Li Zicheng's order, the guard guarding the silver carriage hurriedly opened the box and scattered the silver on the carriage everywhere.

Needless to say, at this critical moment, Li Zicheng did come up with a clever idea. Throwing away the money would speed up the carriage, and if the troops behind got greedy, it would also delay them from coming down to pick up the money.

It's a pity that what Li Zicheng met was the Qin army. It's not that the Qin army is not greedy. They are also greedy, greedy for rewards, and military merits. Do it, the consequences are too serious.

Seeing the carriage in front of him start throwing money, Meng Yi immediately realized that he had caught the wrong person, and shouted on the spot,

"Hurry up, speed up and catch him. Whoever catches me will give credit to him. Then His Majesty will give him a rank. The glory and wealth are right in front of you. Go!"

Hearing Meng Yi's promise, this group of soldiers looked like they were on steroids, their eyes turned red when they looked at the carriage in front of them. Compared with the silver on the ground, the front of them was full of glory and wealth!
"I'm finally back."

Looking at the capital in front of him, Zhu Youjian's eyes showed not nostalgia, but heartbroken remorse and monstrous hatred, because in this city, his family was ruined, and everything he had was taken away here. But now, there are many enemies in this city waiting for him to deal with.

"It seems that Meng Tian's speed is good, but it's a pity that no one saw the moment when the city was broken."

Taking a look at the Beijing city in front of him, Ying Zheng didn't feel much. He has destroyed countless cities in his life. This is not the first one, and he believes that it will not be the last.

"Let's go, enter the city, I can't wait to see what gift Meng Tian has prepared for me."

Let Da Song's army wait outside the city, and Ying Zheng strode into the city gate with the 1000 men sent by Meng Tian to welcome him.
