Chongzhen Undergraduates

Suddenly, the disorderly soldier who was leaning against the cabinet door spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, and he slid to the ground unwillingly.Everyone was surprised to see that there was a pair of scissors stuck in the back of his neck.The door of the cupboard opened, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with an empty arm on the left side and a bloody right hand swayed out.

"Father..." Before the girl could finish her sentence, she fainted on the ground.Chen Yuanyuan and Xiaoyu quickly supported the girl, and shed tears from distress.This scene happened to be witnessed by Zhu Youjian who got rid of the curtain.

The chaotic soldiers who were still fighting seemed not to believe their eyes, and were stunned for a moment.Wang Chengen took this opportunity to kill his opponent with one blow.

"Jiu'er." Zhu Youjian regained the memories of family affection, rushed forward to save the girl, and gently stroked the messy hair on the girl's forehead.

"Father, are you still alive?" The girl woke up, with a hint of sadness, looking at the father who loved her since she was a child. At this moment, Zhu Youjian's hair and eyebrows have been burned off.The dark skin on his face, coupled with the swollen cheeks, made him extremely embarrassed.

Several beams had collapsed in the hall outside, and firefighters were getting closer.

"What should I do? Liu Zongmin was suspicious of me at first, but now with Jiu'er, we can't escape." Zhu Youjian felt nervous like never before.

"The old slave went out to fight with them." Wang Chengen wiped his tears sadly, and was about to charge out with his knife.

"Stop." Chen Yuanyuan called to stop Wang Cheng'en, and continued: "My father-in-law quickly exchanged clothes with the soldiers, and took the princess through the tunnel. The emperor will stay here. If you don't give Liu Zongmin a satisfactory explanation, he will not let you go." Everyone here."

"Is there still an authentic way?" Zhu Youjian asked in surprise.

"Nonsense, which big family doesn't leave a tunnel for themselves to escape?! Otherwise, where will Jiu'er hide these two days?" Chen Yuanyuan looked very strange.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go with us? Throw the two bandit soldiers on the ground into the fire, and say that we were both killed by the bandit soldiers and burned." Wang Chengen didn't want Zhu Youjian to be in danger. In my heart, I have to stay by Zhu Youjian's side all the time, even if it's just the physical body.

"No, Liu Zongmin is not so easy to fool. The emperor's goal is too big. Besides, the emperor's appearance has changed a lot now. Except for Wang Gonggong and us, no one will recognize him. You see, they are going to put out the fire soon. , time is running out."

When Wang Chengen saw Zhu Youjian, he had a black face, with burnt hair and eyebrows, and there were still some faint scars on the skin and flesh on his face, which was completely different from the handsome cheeks in the past.

"Okay. Princess, let's go." After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he carried Princess Changping into the tunnel behind the closet.

"Father, you must survive." Chang Ping said this to Zhu Youjian before leaving.

Zhu Youjian was speechless when he thought of cutting off his daughter's arm.

"What about this tunnel? Will it be discovered?"

"Don't worry, the hole is small, and the house has been burnt down like this, so it won't be repaired for the time being. No one will care about a pile of ruins. Hurry up and arrange the scene so we can get out."

Chapter 8: The Hero Selling Honeycomb

Zhu Youjian lay in the hut for two days. During these two days, he was covered with badger oil, and his head was still wrapped with gauze.

Liu Zongmin didn't embarrass him, but allowed Xiaoyu to serve him with delicious food and drink. All this was because Chen Yuanyuan told Liu Zongmin delicately about Zhu Youjian's great achievements in saving others.Therefore, Zhu Youjian received preferential treatment. Not only did he not have to do anything, but he could also enjoy being served by beautiful women.Liu Zongmin is unwilling to let a beautiful woman serve a servant. In his opinion, all the women in this yard should belong to him only.

But Chen Yuanyuan quit, her reason is very clear: I want to repay the favor!Liu Zongmin in love is naturally obedient to Chen Yuanyuan, even if he hasn't got Chen Yuanyuan's love yet, it can't stop him from possessing beautiful women.

Zhu Youjian lay in bed for two days, but he suffered a lot in his heart. Wang Chengen left, and Chang Ping also left, and he didn't know what happened to them now.What's more, I am still in a dangerous situation, how can I not be afraid.

On the third day, Zhu Youjian, who couldn't lie down, got out of bed. After much deliberation, he decided to do a small thing.

Make briquettes.

I can't stop worrying about family and country affairs. Since I can't change anything, I simply do some small things to pass the time. Anyway, I can't escape now, and I can't do anything.The identity of a cook is just right to do a small thing like briquettes, which is reasonable.

The first step is of course to make a stove that burns briquettes.Although the stove in the Wu Mansion also burns coal, it is too primitive, not to mention the lack of firepower, and the ashes have to be removed once to cook a meal, and the smoke is very heavy, and the burning kitchen is full of a sulfurous smell.

"Look, is my painting right?" Xiaoyu has always been very cautious in addressing Zhu Youjian. This was discussed a long time ago. As a specific address, if you call it expensive, you are afraid of being exposed, and if you call it cheap, you are afraid of being cut off. Head, don't shout anything casually, it's more natural.

"That's right, that's right, that's it." Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Xiaoyu's cleverness, he just described the general appearance, Xiaoyu has already painted a very similar one, not only the image, but also added patterns and other patterns on the mold Decorating graphics, this is what the ancients loved to do most. Any tool must be decorated with some decorations to be satisfied.

Xiaoyu next to him was making a sketch of a briquette mold for Zhu Youjian. Of course, the maid beside Chen Yuanyuan could write and draw. Zhu Youjian saw that Xiaoyu's painting level was enough for a graduate student of the Chinese Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts.Anyway, he is several levels higher than me, an ordinary undergraduate student.

Laying bricks, building stoves, and erecting moulds; Zhu Youjian had a great time doing it.The movements are skillful, and it looks like he often does rough work.This is due to the fact that he was born in a poor family in later generations, and he has helped the family with work since he was a child. This small matter really does not bother him.

"Liu Yinglong, General Quan brought the best doctor to visit you!" While speaking, Liu Zongmin rushed into the small kitchen with a group of people.

"Come on, let the doctor take a good look at you. This general is concerned about your injury." Liu Zongmin said while staring at the doctor who brought him over.

"Please don't worry about me." Zhu Youjian thought to himself, because he could tell when Liu Zongmin entered the door that the so-called doctor he brought was actually the eunuch who served Zhu Youjian in the palace.It's a pity that this eunuch is not a personal eunuch, and most of the time he is just a role in charge of night watch and emptying urinals.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. The villain is very grateful!" Zhu Youjian quickly saluted with a sincere and fearful expression.It's just that the two muddy hands are constantly restless, and they seem to have nowhere to rest.

"What are you doing?" Liu Zongmin behaved very kindly, making a false show that the superior cared about his subordinates.

"General, the villain is making a stove that can burn a large fire. The fire produced by this kind of stove has no smoke and does not smudge the eyes. Miss Xiaoyu is helping the little one to draw pictures."

"Bring it to me quietly. Well, it's very good. You came up with this?"

"General, this is not my little idea, but my little master's idea. The master is gone, so I think I should make this thing and cook it for the general and Miss Chen."

"Well, it's rare that you are loyal to protect the Lord. Doctor, show him the wound quickly, and you must use the best medicine." Of course, Liu Zongmin will not forget the purpose of coming here this time.

"General Qi, this master's injury is recovering well, and he just needs to rest for a few days." The doctor who brought him pretended to look at Zhu Youjian's injury, but his eyes were always on his. The face is watching.

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor." As a low-level ordinary person, he naturally has the attitude of an ordinary person.To be favored by others, it is necessary to be courteous, and the posture should be lower, this is what a common man looks like.

"Okay, you should have a good rest. Let's go!" Liu Zongmin had already achieved his goal, so he naturally didn't want to stay here any longer. The residence of the big beauty was right next to him, which was more attractive to him.

Liu Zongmin led the people around two corners, and asked impatiently, "How did you identify it? Is it Chongzhen?"

"General, this person's appearance is at most only three points similar. Especially the chin and cheeks are too different from the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Judging by his vigor in doing rough work, it is even more impossible for him to be the emperor. I have served the emperor, but since I have never seen the emperor doing masonry work."

"Hush! Got it, you go down first." Liu Zongmin heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a lot lighter in his heart.

"General, you can kill him directly, why bother." The close man next to Liu Zongmin interjected.

"What do you know? I can't kill the emperor of Ming Dynasty. If I want to kill him, I have to decide for myself. Besides, this man has now become Yuanyuan's great benefactor. If I kill him, I'm afraid it will leave a mark in Miss Chen's heart." Bloodthirsty impression. However, since the eunuchs around Chongzhen say he is not, and judging from his performance these days, I think he is probably not Chongzhen."

Liu Zongmin was about to applaud his cleverness. When others looked at him, they thought he was just a vulgar martial artist. Who knew that Liu Zongmin was rough and subtle, showing shrewd calculations everywhere.

"Song Xiance, an old man, dares to snatch my woman. I think he is impatient. If it weren't for King Chuang's persuasion, I would have crushed his two balls on the spot." Liu Zongmin interrogated him a long time ago. Given the background of the attacker that night, he also basically knew that Song Xiance's goal was not Chen Yuanyuan, but that he wanted to win over Wu Sangui.

But Liu Zongmin felt that Song Xiance's sneak attack was shameless, which seriously shaken his image in the army.If Li Zicheng hadn't pulled him, he would have dared to turn against Song Xiance on the spot.

"From now on, Liu Yinglong will be promoted to be the head of the battalion, and he will be Miss Chen's personal bodyguard. Give him a team of troops at his disposal. By the way, spread the story of his loyal protection of the Lord, so that Miss Chen will be happy." Liu Zongmin After so many years of experience, he naturally knows how to subdue his subordinates.

......

Another day later, Zhu Youjian's briquette stove was completely dry, and the mold was made in a blacksmith's shop.Of course, this so-called blacksmith shop is actually a secret connection point of Dongchangan in the capital.Wang Chengen had already contacted Xiaoyu, and these matters were a piece of cake in Wang Chengen's hands.

"What's the use of making this thing?" Wang Chengen asked Zhu Youjian who came to carry the mould.

"This thing really saves coal, and it can indeed reduce gas."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

"Didn't you say that you will do what the emperor does in the future?"
