After a while, Fu Changzong stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are going far away."

Startled, Zhu Xu came to his senses, looked at the vast official road and hummed.

Seeing Zhu Xu's expression, Sun Chuanting and others were also relieved.With such a monarch, why should they worry about the aftermath?

After a while, Zhu Xu turned around and said, "Let's go back."

Everyone turned around with Zhu Xu, boarded the carriage and went back to the city.

In the carriage heading south, there were three little guys in front of Sun Chengzong, the crown prince Zhu Cixiu, the eldest son Zhu Ciye, and the second son Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cixuan hurried over from the Royal Military Academy, and he brought twenty boy scouts with him.

This time the team leader escorted Sun Chengzong back to his hometown, led by the three princes.

Zhu Cixuan, who was dressed in black armor, looked at Sun Chengzong confidently and said: "Don't worry, my lord, with my prince here, I guarantee that you will arrive at the village safely, and no one can hurt you!"

Seeing the second prince's strength, Sun Chengzong said with a smile on his face, "The old minister's life will be entrusted to the Second Highness."

Zhu Cixuan was even more excited, he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord!"

After speaking, he got out of the carriage, jumped on his horse, hit the horse, and led twenty scouts to the front of the army.

The leader is Su Yinyin. She gave birth to a child the year before last and is still in charge of guarding the inner court. This time she is responsible for escorting Sun Chengzong back to his hometown.

Su Yinyin looked at the excited second prince with a motherly smile on her face. She waved her hand without saying anything, and the army quietly surrounded the group of boy scouts who were about ten years old.

Zhu Cixuan only thought it was the adjustment of the army formation, and rode in the front on horseback, riding against the wind, his mood was surging like a tide, and he couldn't help wanting to howl.

In the carriage, Zhu Ciye was a dull gourd, wobbling and saying nothing.Zhu Cixiu was still young, lying by the window, staring at the passing scenery outside the window with wide eyes, exclaiming from time to time.

Sun Chengzong has been sitting in the Grand Marshal's Mansion these years, watching the government and the public with a cold eye, and the same is true for the Qianqing Palace.

Naturally, he is also very concerned about the inheritance of the throne, and he has observed the eldest son and the crown prince for a long time.

Sun Chengzong stared blankly at the small face, Zhu Ciye who seemed a bit stupid, with a deep smile.

The little guy looked at Sun Chengzong's expression, blinked his eyes, and took out a book from his arms with a more dazed expression, spread it on his lap, and looked down quietly.

There seemed to be approval on Sun Chengzong's face, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep while smiling.

The carriage traveled along the official road, out of Beizhili and headed for Henan.There were guards escorting them, officials from all over the country received edicts, and spontaneous gentry came to greet them. Sun Chengzong couldn't keep a low profile along the way.

The news of Sun Chengzong's official appointment has long been spread all over the world, and some interested people will naturally not miss this opportunity.

Some wanted to take this opportunity to show off their faces and show their heads; some sincerely welcomed them and prepared a lot;

Baoding Mansion, in a remote small village.

A burly man rushed into a room and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong is coming soon."

Inside the house, a tall middle-aged man with a blindfold on his right eye raised his head fiercely and said, "Have you found out how many of them there are?"

This person is obviously Li Hongji and Li Zicheng who were shot blind in the right eye by Su Yinyin in Shaanxi and escaped!

The big man also complained, and said: "Brothers have found out, there are 300 imperial guards and some guards, the total number is about [-]. According to his speed, we will arrive in three days."

Li Zicheng's left eyelid twitched violently, with a look of resentment on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's get ready, brothers, we have revenge, and it's time for revenge!"

The big man responded with a humming sound, stepped heavily on the floor and went out.

They are all "victims" of Sun Chengzong's reform and suppression of bandits. Over the years, they have gathered hundreds of people and have been quietly hiding in this village.

Li Zicheng watched the big man leave, his expression became more ferocious, and he growled, "Su Yinyin, when I catch you, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am!"

A plump woman stood by the door in the room behind Li Zicheng, listening to Li Zicheng's words, she frowned and looked worried.

Xing family, Li Zicheng's robbed concubine.

That night, Li Zicheng gathered his people and held a meeting in the stockade. There were nearly six to seven hundred people!

They are the "victims" of Sun Chengzong's military reform, and also the "victims" of the imperial court's reform. , take orders from Li Zicheng.

While Li Zicheng was in a meeting, Xing went out quietly and met a man in the dark.

"Yingwu, what do you think we should do?" In a room, Xing grabbed the man's clothes and said anxiously.

The man was tall and handsome, in his late thirties, he also frowned, and said repeatedly: "Don't say you won't win, even if you win, we will be exposed, and I'm afraid there will be no place to hide in the future, this is a dead end... ..."

Gao Jie, one of the generals recruited by Li Zicheng, was known as the Over the Mountain Harrier.

Xing looked at Gao Jie, bit her lip, and said, "I feel uneasy recently, I wonder if he discovered something, Yingwu, I'm afraid..."

Gao Jie looked at Xing's expression, his expression became ruthless, and he gritted his teeth: "The front and back are dead, we have only one way to go!"

Xing was startled, she already guessed it, and still whispered: "What are you going to do?"

Gao Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Surrender to the officers and soldiers, at least you can save your life!"

Xing's complexion changed, but he was someone with ideas, nodded and said: "Okay, I will go wherever you go!"

When Gao Jie saw Xing's agreement, he was very moved, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he said: "Li Zicheng wants to intercept Sun Chengzong, he is asking for his own death, I just use him as a nomination certificate, maybe I can get an official position in exchange !"

The Xing family and Li Zicheng had no relationship at all, and when they heard the words, they said with hatred: "Okay, but how do we go out, the people guarding the stockade are all Li Zicheng's people."

Gao Jie thought for a while, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "He will definitely be guilty of drinking tonight. You quietly steal a piece of his token, and you put on a disguise. I will take you and a few brothers to steal out of the village."

When Xing heard that it was feasible, she said: "Okay, go back quickly, so that he won't find out."

Gao Jie nodded, and the two left quickly.

On the other side, Li Zicheng exchanged cups, talked with some people, stirred up hatred in their hearts, and prepared to intercept and kill Sun Chengzong three days later.

Chapter 1531 Li Zicheng is gone

Gao Jie is a good talent, he is highly valued by Li Zicheng, and he has a lot of prestige in the village. In the evening, Xing got a token from Li Zicheng who was drunk, and it was a breeze to get out of the village.

Gao Jie took the Xing family and three confidantes, quickly left the village and headed south.

Li Zicheng fought wits and bravery with the officers and soldiers for many years, and was chased by the officers and soldiers who suppressed bandits and hid in Tibet. Being able to settle in this stockade, he naturally knows the situation of the officers and soldiers around him like the palm of his hand.

Gao Jie didn't go to Sun Chengzong, but went straight to Henan General Liu Wentian.

Baoding Mansion, Henan garrison.

Liu Wentian looked at Gao Jie who had "surrendered himself" rather surprised, and after understanding the whole process, he immediately felt relieved.

Liu Wentian ordered people to recuperate the army, while looking at Gao Jie, he said: "You come with me, if you can wipe out Li Zicheng in one fell swoop, I will not only forgive your crimes, but also claim credit for you!"
