How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Shen Lian, Pei Lun, and Feng Kanyu were stunned.

Wang Chengen also chose a crabapple tree and hanged himself. When the three of them came to their senses, there was no way they could be saved.

Before Emperor Chongzhen died, there was only one eunuch left to accompany him to death, which cannot be said to be extremely miserable.

But when such a huge empire suddenly collapsed, who would mourn for it?

"Huh... dead, Mother Dute is dead!"

After burning incense, the three of them walked down Long Live Mountain, mounted their horses and looked at each other in disbelief.

This result was something Shen Lian and Pei Lun did not expect.

I could have captured Zhu Youjian and presented it to King Chuang, but now...

"Let's just say, if King Chuang knew about it, he wouldn't chop the three of us alive, right?"

Pei Lun was only a little scared now, and asked Shen Lian with lingering fear.

Shen Lian snorted coldly.

"He dares! Not to mention the great contributions the three of us have made for him over the years, not to mention the contribution of being the first to rush into the capital."

"Let's just say that in the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, he was asked to dig up the Zhu family's ancestral tombs and get more than five million taels of silver in exchange. How dare he kill us?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

After hearing what Shen Lian said, Pei Lun just curled his lips and was too lazy to argue.

Brother, there is something wrong with our composition, do you understand?

Jinyiwei.

Back then, the three of them fled to Shaanxi and lived with Gao Yingxiang, the first king of Chuang, but they were often met with suspicion and contempt.

Later, he still couldn't stay under Gao Yingxiang, so he followed the fledgling Li Zicheng.

Who would have known that the bet turned out to be successful, and Li Zicheng became the second-generation King of Chuang.

But the result is different.

Everyone doubts whether our two former Jin Yiwei are imperial spies, and whether they deliberately came to murder King Chuang and the peasant army.

If they hadn't vowed to rebel and take revenge, the three of them would have disappeared.

Just like that, more than five million silver were offered.

Who would have thought of leading a rebellion with capital?

This also led to the fact that for seventeen years, he had never been truly reused and could not become Li Zicheng's absolute confidant.

After all, the elders who have been rebelling since the first year of Chongzhen are now not as good as Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, and Yuan Zongdi.

Now, Zhu Youjian is allowed to hang himself...

Pei Lun was worried about what would happen next.

"Hey! Uncle Pei, what are you afraid of! At worst, I'll quit my job and resign, and I won't join the army like this useless guy!"

Feng Kanyu on the side had an indifferent attitude.

He didn't like to lead troops to fight, but he was forced by the situation.

Now that my parents' great revenge has been avenged, I feel relaxed all over.

If King Chuang really wanted to pursue the three of them, what would happen if he just turned around and left?

If it doesn't work, find a place in the countryside and mountains, marry a wife, have a baby, and live a leisurely life.

"Lao Shen, Xiao Yu, you..."

Pei Lun rolled his eyes wildly.

Hey!

This special girl has worked hard for half her life, and she is about to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and reap the fruits of victory.

Turn around and leave, go on the run again?

No idiot would do this!

Pei Lun wanted to discuss with the two of them how to hide the truth, but he hadn't spoken yet.

"shelf!"

Behind the Xuanwu Gate in the palace, several fast horses rushed out.

Shen Lian, Pei Lun, and Feng Kanyu's expressions changed, and they held their horses down and waited quietly.

"Xu..."

Three war horses stopped in front of them. The leader was eight feet tall and had a full beard. He was holding a ghost-headed single sword and sitting on a jujube horse. He was covered in armor and covered with blood, as if he was a demon killed from hell. .

This person is none other than Li Zicheng's first general, the commander-in-chief Liu Ye Liu Zongmin.

The other party was a blacksmith who joined the Chuang Army in the seventh year of Chongzhen. As soon as he joined the Chuang Army, he showed great military talent.

Not only was he unparalleled in martial arts, he was also loyal to Li Zicheng.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, when Li Zicheng was trapped in Yubeli Mountain, he once thought of committing suicide after defeat. If Liu Zongmin hadn't brazenly killed his wife to show his loyalty, An Neng would have achieved the feat of breaking into the capital.

Therefore, this man was the first general under the Chuang King Li Zicheng, and his right-hand man was in charge of a hundred thousand Chuang troops.

Seeing that it was Liu Zongmin who arrived with the crowd, Pei Lun's face suddenly turned pale.

Feng Kanyu was still nonchalant, but Shen Lian also put away some of his fearlessness.

"Master Liu!"

The three of them greeted Liu Zongmin with their hands in hand.

"Shen Lian, Feng Kanyu, Pei Lun..."

However, Liu Zongmin did not respond with a good expression. He stared at his round eyes and asked, "Have you three found Zhu Youjian?"

"It's been an hour since we entered the city. Why don't you bring Zhu Youjian to see me?"

"This……"

Facing this man's power, Pei Lun and Feng Kanyu subconsciously turned their heads.

Shen Lian felt a pinch in his heart, feeling a little aggrieved for no reason.

damn it.

After all, I am the backbone of the veterans who followed the Chuang Army in the first year of Chongzhen. Why do you, Liu Zongmin, call you like a grandson?

But no matter what, class status is the best way to determine a person's dignity.

Shen Lian could only answer without being humble or arrogant.

"Master Liu! I searched around the palace with three people, but could not find Zhu Youjian. Later, I asked an eunuch and learned that Zhu Youjian fled to Long Live Mountain behind me."

"The three of us rushed over immediately, but we arrived a step too late. Zhu Youjian had hanged himself..."

"what!"

The three people riding the war horses were all shocked.

Liu Zongmin reacted even more violently and became furious.

"Hey! What are you three doing for food?"

"King Chuang has given many instructions to capture Zhu Youjian alive after entering the city. He will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and given to an earl. Anyone who hides him will have his entire family killed!"

"Now he is allowed to die? How do you explain to King Chuang?"

As he spoke, Liu Zongmin even raised his riding whip and was about to slap Shen Lian on the head.

Shen Lian became even more angry when he saw this, and placed one hand on the handle of the Xiuchun knife at his waist.

Motherfucker!

Liu Zongmin, if you really dare to slap me, I will rebel again at worst!

Similarly, Pei Lun and Feng Kanyu were also unambiguous. Seeing that Shen Lian was about to be beaten, they secretly put their hands on their waists.

"Hey, hey, hey! Master Liu, calm down, Master Liu, calm down!"

Unexpectedly, at the moment when both sides were about to turn against each other.

A person behind Liu Zongmin ran out on horseback and stopped him in time.

Shen Lian and Liu Zongmin turned their heads together, and saw that it was General Li Yan, the counselor beside King Chuang.

The other party is from Qinglonggang, Qixian County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and was elected during the Tianqi period. His father, Li Jingbai, was once the governor of Shandong and the minister of the Ministry of War.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Yan actually joined the Chuang army when Li Zicheng invaded Henan, and became an important adviser to King Chuang ever since.

At the same time, he can also lead troops to fight, and is capable of both literary and military skills. He can be called a monster like Lu Xiang and Lord Lu.

He and his wife Hong Niangzi are legends in the army.

This time, he and the red lady came together to accompany Liu Zongmin. The red lady was frowning as she looked at Liu Zongmin's arrogance and domineering behavior.

"Mr. Li? What do you care about?"

Seeing that he was stopped by Li Yan, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but soften his words.

Shen Lian and the others were impure and could be beaten and scolded at will.

But this Li Yan is the number one dog-headed military advisor under King Chuang, so he must not be offended easily.

"Haha, what's the point? Mr. Liu!"

Seeing that the situation had eased, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and cursed Liu Zongmin for being such a fool.

Unexpectedly, the three of them have already touched the weapon. If you whip the whip, something big will happen.

It would be a shame if there was an internal mutiny just after the intruders entered the city.

Besides, the three of them are not just for a living.

After giving the order, countless old men in the army risked their lives to accompany them.

"Well... I think General Shen, General Feng, and Commander Pei are also helpless."

"After all, we started attacking the city at the third watch and continued until the fifth watch."

"During this period, Zhu Youjian may have hanged himself long ago. What's the use of you blaming them again?"

"I think it's better to collect Zhu You's body for autopsy first, and then hand it over to King Chuang to decide whether to reward or punish him, and then we can discuss it."

"This……"

Liu Zongmin looked at Shen Lian, who looked unhappy, and snorted coldly.

"Okay! Shen Lian, if Mr. Li hadn't interceded with you, I would have given you a few lashes today!"

"Sir, let's go! Go and see what that Chongzhen child looks like!"

After saying that, he glared at Shen Lian and the others, Liu Zongmin dismounted and strode towards Long Live Mountain.

Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took his wife Hong Niangzi with him and had no choice but to follow him. He nodded at Shen Lian and the other two people and could not say more.

Who knows.

After Liu Zongmin and Li Yan went up the mountain.

The red lady stopped in front of the three people.

"Brother Shen, Brother Pei, and Xiao Yu."

The red lady, who was only in her early thirties, was tall and beautiful, and said respectfully to the three of them.

"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

Shen Lian was still angry, but seeing that it was the red lady, he still politely leaned over and asked.

Seeing that the three of them were unconscious, the red lady thought for a while and whispered.

"Mr. Liu (Liu Zongmin) arrested an official from the Ministry of Industry and wanted to recover the stolen goods. Unexpectedly, the other party kept crying and saying that he knew... knew..."

After the red lady looked at Feng Kanyu, her next words made the three of them tremble.

"Said he knew the whereabouts of Xiao Yu's father."

"what!"

The next second, the three people screamed in surprise.

Feng Kanyu almost fell off his horse.
