[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much
Chapter 74
It was an irrational act to take Chen Chuming away from the western shop.
Jiao Shizhi himself is also an intelligence officer, and he knows that the whole of Jiangxi is the people of King Ning. If he puts all his efforts into investigating, he will find them soon.
Emperor Zhengde's status was sensitive and noble, and King Ning's motives were unclear, so it was reasonable to not meddle in Chen Chuming's affairs at this time, at least not him and the emperor himself.
However, Emperor Zhengde didn't care.
After Jiao Shizhi wrote a few words on his palm with his fingertips, he whispered in Jiao Shizhi's ear: "If you want to do something, then do it, don't regret it later, that's what I want the most." something to worry about."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were gentle, and he firmly believed in Jiao Shizhi's behavior, just as he believed in every time he persuaded him, which made Jiao Shizhi's heart burn.He lowered his eyebrows and chuckled, and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.
The Western store is a very attractive place, and there are many people coming and going. It is impossible for the boss to stand beside Jiao Shizhi and the others all the time, and he will soon be attracted by other customers.Inadvertently, Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao slipped into the door of the store one after another. Just as they entered, they saw a little girl playing by the door. Just as Jiao Shizhi was about to cover her mouth, Zhu Houzhao had already stretched out his hand. Knocked the little girl out.
Jiao Shizhi cast a reproachful glance at the emperor, the little girl is only four or five years old.Zhu Houzhao settled the child, and pulled him to the back, "Time is running out, let's talk about me when I get back."
The two entered the backyard one after the other. The backyard was not very big. They avoided the main room when they heard the sound. They searched for a few rooms on the left, and finally found the movement inside.Emperor Zhengde kicked in the door, and all the scenes in the house fell into his eyes.
A young man in the corner was putting a package behind him quickly. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, he was a little confused, and then his eyes fell on Jiao Shizhi, but he was surprised, "Shizhi, why are you here?" Both Zhu Houzhao and Jiao Shizhi had pretended before they came out, but Chen Chuming and Jiao Shizhi were good friends, so they recognized Jiao Shizhi at a glance.
In the next moment, such joy turned into anxiety, "If you can be here, the emperor must be here too. Didn't I tell you to be careful of King Ning? Why are you still here!"
Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "This is the one in front of you, you should leave with us first."
Chen Chuming:! ! !
Chen Chuming originally wanted to leave. He avoided it for two or three days. According to the ability of Prince Ning's Mansion, it was about time to find out here. If he didn't leave, it might be too late.
When Jiao Shizhi and the others came, they came in a carriage. After all, they were disguised as a caravan with so many people. The attendants waiting outside the door had already received Jiao Shizhi's signal and drove the carriage to the back. The three of them Just like that, he slipped away quietly over the wall.It wasn't until the owner of the western store was questioned by the people of Prince Ning's mansion that he recalled the few people just now, including the carpenter who had just been in his backyard for two or three days.
Jiao Shizhi's actions were quick. After he decided to save people, he sent people to the inn to take the people living in the inn to the pier directly, and they also went directly to the pier to meet.After completing the process of boarding and leaving the boat neatly, Emperor Zhengde asked the boat to move forward at full speed, and even threw a lot of load directly on the boat on the river to reduce the weight.
Although the flood was raging behind him, when everyone on the boat started to get busy, there were three people sitting in Emperor Zhengde's room in the cabin.
Emperor Zhengde was sitting on the window sill, with one foot resting on it, his hand resting on the foot, and the other hanging foot kept shaking. Er Jiao Shizhi and Chen Chuming were sitting at the table.
At this time, Chen Chuming had relaxed a lot compared to when we first met, but his face was still heavy, he looked at Emperor Zhengde outside the window, and said to Jiao Shizhi in a low voice: "Shizhi, is the emperor angry? "If it wasn't for saving him, the emperor and the others wouldn't have been in such a mess, and Chen Chuming felt restless at the thought of him sitting in front of the emperor.
Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly: "The emperor just likes to look at the river, you don't have to worry."
"Let it go."
The person who was looking at the river threw two words without even turning his head, his deep voice was a little hoarse, "It's mine."
Chen Chuming couldn't figure it out. When he left, Jiao Shizhi didn't have his name yet.Emperor Zhengde's ambiguous words made him unable to react for a while.Jiao Shizhi looked at the emperor helplessly, and said to Chen Chuming: "Let it be is the name given to me by the emperor."
Chen Chuming suddenly realized, and then thought of his own name, his face turned pale and pale.Originally, Jiao Shizhi wanted to ask Chen Chuming what his name was, but he didn't remember it under his reaction, and instead asked something else, "Are you okay?"
It's not just about his body.
Chen Chuming's lips were pale, and he still nodded. Remembering the reason for his embarrassment, he couldn't help muttering: "I've actually had a good life these past few years." Chen Chuming couldn't accept his behavior anyway.
"I was sent to the guard station in the south at the beginning, and I acted with the dispatched people. I was robbed on the way, and then I went directly to Prince Ning's Mansion. I have stayed in Prince Ning's Mansion until now. King Ning has taken care of Jiangxi very well. At first, I thought that he should be a good prince. It wasn't until later that I realized that he didn't just want to be a good prince. "
"He never defended me, so when I went to his study that day, I didn't expect to run into a conversation between him and his counselor. Jiangxi has garrisoned [-] troops, the people support it, and the money and food are sufficient. As long as the time is right, the throne is just around the corner. "
These few words came out of Chen Chuming's mouth, but they no longer felt uncomfortable when they heard them.He covered half of his face and said, "Of course I was discovered by them. After I was imprisoned, I don't know why King Ning didn't kill me, but the more news I knew."
"King Ning has connections with several vassal kings around him. It is impossible to help him rebel. However, if the general trend is on King Ning, they agree to help him ascend to the throne. The drug incident in the capital was also related to King Ning. There are some trivial things, I have already told the emperor and you all on the way here."
After Chen Chuming finished talking about everything, his hands on his knees were already clenched into fists, and his nails dug deeply into his palms, causing his eyes to twitch from the pain.Although he said all his emotions in one word, all the people here are smart people, and Chen Chuming knew that they already knew something from the loopholes in his words.
This kind of shameful thing was spread out in the sun, which made Chen Chuming very embarrassed, and wished he could cover his face with his sleeves.
Jiao Shizhi took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Chuming's shoulder, barely showing a smile. If it wasn't for Chen Chuming thinking that he despised him, Jiao Shizhi's face would be darkened by now.
Zhu Houzhao walked to Jiao Shizhi's side, took off his hair tie, and wrapped it around his wrist three or two times, "Shizhi, where is my tiger amulet?"
Seeing that Jiao Shizhi reluctantly took out another hair tie from his sleeve, he smirked at Chen Chuming while smoothing his hair, "The emperor likes to pull people's headbands recently, maybe one day he will do the same to you."
"What? Shizhi, absolutely not, I just want to pick your hairband alone, don't just recommend it to me!" Zhu Houzhao rummaged on the table for a long time, but couldn't find the tiger charm that should exist.Jiao Shizhi gasped and went to help him find it. I really don't know if this master is caring, he can even throw tiger charms casually!
Chen Chuming watched the interaction between the two with a dazed expression, a possibility flashed in his mind, and he immediately suppressed it firmly in his heart. Just because he is such a person, others should not be treated as such!After thinking about it this way, Chen Chuming became more and more depressed, feeling that he was even more unbearable, and lowered his head to look at the ground.
After a long time, Emperor Zhengde and Jiao Shizhi heard Chen Chuming's hesitant voice, "Is this what the emperor is looking for?" He pointed to the foot of the table and said.
Jiao Shizhi turned the whole table over, and then looked at the tiger talisman inlaid on the broken table foot. He was silent for a while, then pulled out the forgotten tiger talisman vigorously, and said to the embarrassing Emperor Zhengde: " If Chu Ming is not here today, will the emperor have to turn the whole house upside down and not be able to remember where the tiger talisman is?"
How could the emperor stuff the tiger talisman into the gap between the table legs? ! !If Li Dongyang was here now, he might faint from anger!
Emperor Zhengde took the tiger talisman handed over by Jiao Shizhi, and said with a little embarrassment: "Isn't this table not very flat? You didn't feel comfortable reading on it before. I didn't think that the size was just right, so I put it on it first. Let’s talk about it in a few days.”
Bearing it on, two months passed in a flash, and Emperor Zhengde completely forgot about it.
Jiao Shizhi sighed helplessly, turned around and reset the table.
"Minghua—" Emperor Zhengde raised his voice and called out his name.
Jin Yiwei, who was guarding the door, pushed the door and entered, kneeling on one knee in front of Emperor Zhengde, "Your Majesty!"
……
Chen Chuming's arrival not only cleared away the fog in front of Jiao Shizhi, but also brought real troubles to their group.Before they left Jiangxi, they felt that someone was catching up behind them, but the distance was quite far, and they could only see a few familiar shadows of boats behind them when the weather was excellent.
However, it was only a matter of time before they were overtaken. Their boat was too big, and they couldn't keep up with the speed of the boat. On the third day, they could clearly see neat boats on the river, which was much more majestic than the day before yesterday.
Li Dongyang stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the approaching fleet, but he was thinking in his heart, it was rare for the emperor to play off, how would he feel now?He turned his head to look at Emperor Zhengde standing in front on the left, and saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very happy. When he saw Li Dongyang looking at him, he pointed to the clearly visible ship and said with a smile: " Elder Li Ge, looking at those people, do you feel your blood boil?"
Li Dongyang said calmly: "No, please calm down, Your Majesty. We only have 200 people here, which is incomparable to King Ning's team. I will not stand on the side of the emperor."
Li Dongyang didn't know how to dispatch troops, but he clearly knew that they were clearly on the disadvantaged side.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have startled the snake and caused King Ning to follow you. You have a noble status. If something happened this time, I deserve death!" Li Dongyang said with his face covered.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Dongyang casually, and said with a sneer, "What are you afraid of? Looking at this posture, if you know who I am, you won't just send this group of people over."
Li Dongyang sighed, "When they find out, there will be one after another."
"That's not necessarily true." Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said, with a casual and relaxed look.
The next day, the big boat they were on had already been chased up by the small boat behind them, gradually forming a siege. Even though the ship was manned by an excellent boatman, the speed of the small boat was far inferior to that of the big boat.As for why they insisted on staying on the big ship until they died, it was because of the news brought by Chen Chuming, don't try to get rid of King Ning's tracking on Jiangxi's territory, only the navy is his weak point.
In the end they were caught up at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian.
Jiao Shizhi stood side by side with Emperor Zhengde on the board of the ship, looked at the mighty fleet around him, and said to the young man next to him: "Your Majesty, it seems that he should be a little more dignified than us."
Emperor Zhengde nodded approvingly, "Indeed, this is no match for others in terms of numbers."
Li Dongyang next to him felt his eyes twitch, "Your Majesty, if they want to attack by force later, please don't come forward."
"Why?" Zhu Houzhao said with his hands behind his back, "He doesn't know me."
Jiao Shizhi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, that's not necessarily the case. King Ning is very thoughtful. If it wasn't for the error of Qingrong, he doesn't know how long it would take to dig out his heels. He must have known your appearance a long time ago. "Chen Chuming had already made more secrets with Jiao Shizhi in private, which made Jiao Shizhi dumbfounded when he first heard it, and then he was puzzled and didn't know how to persuade him.
Zhu Houzhao touched his face, pretended to be serious and said, "I mean, give me a disguise."
The atmosphere between the few people talking was brisk, but in fact the scene was not as relaxed as they showed.After discovering King Ning's men for the first time, they received a summons from the other party that night, which probably meant to order them to stop and check.
No answer.
The next day, someone flew an arrow to send a letter ordering them to stop. If they didn't stop, they would be treated as thieves from then on.
Continue without answering.
And since that day, there has been no more news, only chasing after him wholeheartedly.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Jiao Shizhi to naively think that after being caught by them, King Ning's men would simply search for it, and on the third day, a ship with the same hull as them appeared behind him. Er's big boat looked extremely prosperous, and Chen Chuming recognized it at a glance. It was the boat that King Ning had traveled on before.
In this way, maybe there is King Ning on that boat.
Jiao Shizhi looked at the sparkling water, remembering the vision he saw earlier.
[King Ning invaded the people's fields, seized money, raised a group of robbers, and robbed the rivers and lakes, and some officials dared not take responsibility.In the 14th year of Zhengde, after Ning rebelled, what he called 43 people went out to plunder and kill.However, only [-] days, it is broken. 】
This is the sentence that flashed through Jiao Shizhi's mind when he saw the emperor this morning.However, the difference between this sentence and what Jiao Shizhi learned was so great that Jiao Shi began to faintly feel worried.If it is true as the prediction said, why is King Ning's meticulousness almost incomprehensible to what he saw along the way? Under such circumstances, how could he be as stupid and bound as the prediction?
And the time of the rebellion was exactly ten years later.
He squeezed his fingers subconsciously, remembering the pattern he had foreseen before.Although the things foreseen are irregular, but for some deeds that can greatly change history, Jiao Shizhi can often see things that are about to happen, just like he foresaw the emperor falling into the water and the death of the late emperor , all before things happen.
Even though what he foresaw in the morning was so absurd, Jiao Shizhi could only speculate on one possibility based on the laws he had concluded before.
If it is not done well, they can really see the first day of King Ning's rebellion with their own eyes.
It's a great honor, but Jiao Shizhi doesn't want to have such an honor.
He looked into the distance, watching the approaching ships, and suddenly heard Emperor Zhengde's order, "Dock!"
Li Dongyang was startled, and looked up at the direction the emperor was pointing, his face changed suddenly, "Your Majesty, that's just an abandoned pier!" They are now at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, which is barely an uninhabited area. How many people live.
Originally, they were gradually surrounded, but in this situation, the emperor actually ordered them to dock. Didn't this speed up the possibility of being rounded up? !
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Li Ge, I know it in my heart. If you are worried, you can go to rest in the cabin first, and come out when things are over." Li Dongyang was almost not overwhelmed by Emperor Zhengde's words, and Zhengde The emperor has already entered the house leisurely and made people disguise him.
Jiao Shizhi looked helplessly at the back of the emperor leaving, and hurriedly turned around to make amends for him. After persuading Li Dongyang for a long time, he finally managed to calm down the old man's temper.
The emperor and elder Ge's tempers are not very good, and Jiao Shizhi who is caught in the middle sometimes really has to deal with both ends.Just when Li Dongyang went back to find the emperor to continue, Jiao Shizhi heard Chen Chuming's words, "Ren Zhi, you have a really good relationship with the emperor."
Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "After all, I have been by the emperor's side for so many years, it is right for the emperor to relax."
Chen Chuming shook his head with a smile, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I'm not talking about this, but the emperor never fails to smile in front of you." He stretched out his hand to make a smiling face, and continued, "If there is no smile, it is the smile in the eyes." And with a big smile."
I am very happy to see you.
Emperor Zhengde didn't say it, but showed it in various actions.
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips and patted Chen Chuming's shoulder with his hand.Perhaps Chen Chuming remembered something, and his original smile gradually dissipated. After a long time, he sighed, "Shizhi, you shouldn't have saved me in the first place." If it wasn't for this, King Ning might not have found their traces.
Jiao Shizhi shook his head, "It's my intention and the emperor's intention to save you. I won't regret it before I do it, and I won't regret it even after I do it. Now that King Ning is chasing you, find a way to bring him back. Just drive them away, why worry.”
Chen Chuming looked at the distant ships with a wry smile, "Do you think that the troops here are all King Ning has?"
Jiao Shizhi frowned, "I don't think so."
Looking outside, Chen Chuming gradually became obsessed and lost his mind.Jiao Shizhi didn't call him back, but watched with him.
Chen Chuming didn't know, but Jiao Shizhi knew that King Ning's pursuit was very dynamic.Even in Jiangxi, rumors may leak out, not to mention that now that Jiangxi has been left, King Ning is still chasing after him.Apart from Emperor Zhengde on board, there was only one possibility left.
——Chen Chuming.
Jiao Shizhi took a step back quietly, looking at his childhood friend.
Maybe there are other things that Chen Chuming doesn't know, for example, why does King Ning value him so much?Or, Chen Chuming underestimated his status in King Ning's heart?However, these are all considered from the good side, if you think about it from the bad side... Maybe everyone in this boat will be destroyed here.
Just hope that the emperor's backhand can play a role.
Jiao Shizhi prayed in his heart like this, but no matter what in his heart, there was no worry at all, he was as calm as if today was just an ordinary outing, which gradually dissipated the original tense emotions on the boat.After all, Jin Yiwei is also a human being, and it is natural to be nervous in such a situation.However, if you are too nervous, you will easily lose control. Now the commander is so calm, and the atmosphere is so neutralized, it is just right.
The big ship soon docked at the abandoned pier, and the ships that were originally encircled had to shrink the original circular encirclement because of the actions of the big ship, and could only barely form a semicircle.After the big ship docked, half of the Jin Yiwei on board disembarked and quickly used various methods to block the possibility of docking.
Except for the big ship on their side, no other ships can dock at the moment.Unless King Ning ordered them to jump out of the boat and swim to fight in this situation.
After receiving the order, those small boats only followed the middle boat, and then stopped at a distance of ten feet.If you look at it from a distance, it is a large ship with a group of small boats to attack another large ship, and successfully surround the other large ship on an abandoned pier.
The small boat stopped, but the bigger and more luxurious boat than Jiao Shizhi's was still gradually approaching them. It didn't stop until the bows of the two boats were very close. At this time, Zhu Houzhao also never stopped. When he came out, he just put a beard on his face, and his demeanor changed from the original lazy to the current ruffian. It really... really suits him.
Facing such an emperor, Jiao Shizhi retreated a little weakly, and after sending Chen Chuming back to the cabin, he stood back beside Zhu Houzhao again.Hearing the emperor shout angrily, "Who are you waiting for, why are you chasing us all the time! Is it a thief, be careful, I will report to the officials!"
Jiao Shizhi: ...
The person opposite: ...
An equally high-spirited voice came from the opposite side, "I am Your Majesty Ning, I now suspect that you are harboring criminals on board, so get off the boat quickly and let me search it!"
"Go away! You are you, King Ning, and I still say that I am the emperor! You will not be afraid of thunder if you tell such a big lie? All the people on my boat are good people, do you understand the good people? Ah!" The voice came from the bearded man's mouth, and his expression and demeanor were completely different from the original one.
The man was choked by such direct and shameless words, and he said after a while: "We have something to prove our identity, and we will show it when we get on the boat."
"No way! Tell the people on your boat who can be the masters to come out! I am the masters of my boat, but you may not be the masters of yours. Why should I listen to your nonsense!"
The other side was silent.
After a long time, a voice as clear as jade sounded, "I am King Ning."
King Ning?King Ning!
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, took a step forward and stood behind Zhu Houzhao, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand, but he was thinking about why this voice sounded a little familiar.He frowned, thinking in his heart, but on the face Zhu Houzhao had already opened his voice with King Ning, and he actually said a few words between you and me, but it was all nonsense to Jiao Shizhi's ears.
The emperor had such a good time playing, it stands to reason that as a subject, he just needs to watch, but now the person on the other side is obviously coming in a hurry and prepared, so it is unreliable to continue playing like this.Jiao Shizhi quietly tugged at the emperor's clothes behind him, making Zhu Houzhao pouted in dissatisfaction, but he didn't chat anymore.
But Jiao Shizhi suddenly remembered where he had heard this voice after King Ning spoke many times.
In the 15th year of Hongzhi, Jiao Shizhi returned to his hometown for the funeral. When he was still in the mountains, he often went to the tea stand at the gate of the town to listen to the news. At that time, someone once prevented others from spying on the red dates.
And that person's voice was so similar to King Ning's today.
It turned out that that person was King Ning!
Since when did he start secretly visiting the north and south, ignoring the vassal king's request not to get the fief.The imperial court has never received any memorials related to Jiangxi.
Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, and the other side also didn't speak, and the atmosphere was strangely stalemate here.
Obviously there are [-] troops on the opposite side now, if you really want to wipe out this side, it is an extremely simple matter.However, for some reason, King Ning hesitated, and did not give an order for a long time.
After a long time, the figure of King Ning appeared at the bow of the boat. He was dressed in moon white, with a small carving hanging on his waist. Standing with his arms folded, he looked extremely handsome, and his eyes had a special charm.
Jiao Shizhi sighed in his heart, it really was him.
At that time, Jiao Shizhi once thought that this person's temper is so opposite, even though they met by chance, it was enough to make him feel good that day, but unexpectedly, the next meeting will be such a confrontational scene.
"Ming people don't speak dark words. If you hand them over, I will allow you to leave safely." Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao said, his voice was soft, as if he was talking about gentle words.
Zhu Houzhao sneered, "People? We have one or two hundred people here, who knows which one you want?"
"I want someone I love deeply."
King Ning's understatement made Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but stare at each other silently.King Ning's painting style doesn't look quite right, shouldn't it be a fugitive, a criminal or something like that?
Zhu Houzhao walked to the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looked at the man standing at the same height and said with a smile: "You are wrong, there is not even a single woman on this boat."
"I never said that he is a woman." King Ning seemed sure that the person he wanted must be on the boat, and circled with Zhu Houzhao calmly.
However, after listening to King Ning's words, Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and flew wildly, "I like your answer. Let me tell you, the person you are looking for is indeed on my boat."
"If he is willing to go with you, I will naturally not stop him, but if he is unwilling, even if you send someone to kill him, you will not be able to take him away." Zhu Houzhao said with a strong smile, making the voice on the other side It was quiet for a while.
During the silence, the sky suddenly heard the sound of an eagle. Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed satisfaction, and he said in a clear voice: "My second hand has arrived. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep me waiting today."
The opposite side became quieter, but there was a sound gradually coming from behind. Jiao Shizhi turned his head and saw a large number of people and horses coming here. He glanced roughly at the military flag waving in the wind, and knew that it was the military horse of the Fujian General Army.
King Ning's power was inadvertently exposed to Zhu Houzhao. When he was not prepared enough, he should not act rashly.
However, Jiao Shizhi held the hilt of the sword even harder, and he was always faintly flustered, as if something was unexpected.
When King Ning's eyes saw the banner of Fujian General Soldier, his bright and clear expression was instantly absorbed by his dark eyes, as if he wanted to eat his flesh and blood alive!
The sparkle in the eyes moved slightly, as if thinking of something, the corners of the mouth curled up, but there was no warm feeling at all.
"Come on, attack!"
At this moment, the fleet, which had been standing still, showed what it was like to move like a rabbit. It galloped to the vicinity of the big ship in an instant, and the battle began in a blink of an eye.
After the Fujian General Soldier's team got involved, the battle turned into a war.
It's so sudden, but it makes people feel that it should be taken for granted.The two teams were fighting at the same place, and for a while they couldn't tell which was King Ning's team and which was the reinforcements.
And Jiao Shizhi protected Emperor Zhengde, and when an enemy jumped onto the ship's plank, he fought with them without hesitation.The sound of sword bones intersecting was unpleasant, and the smell of blood was even more unpleasant. Jiao Shizhi had kept the sword for many years, but he never really made him fight in blood.Now that he is doing it, his face does not change, like a veteran for many years, he and his colleagues in the Jinyiwei guard Zhu Houzhao, Liu Dongyang and others to safety.
"Appropriate!"
The young men who were fighting together seemed to have heard the voice of the emperor, turned around slightly, and miraculously avoided a flash of saber.He kicked away the soldier who was entangled with him, and stabbed the sword-bearer with his backhand. Before he pulled out the sword, he lowered himself to avoid the sword of others, and used the person on the sword as a cover with his backhand.
This was only a few breaths, but Emperor Zhengde's heart almost stopped beating in fright.
King Ning, who was standing at the bow of the boat in the distance, slowly raised his mouth, "So that's it...it's just a half-baked smile."
The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of tearing, the sound of drumming, Jiao Shi's body is in the whirlpool, completely unaware of what time this year is, the sword in his hand automatically cuts at every approaching unknown object.
The battlefield is like a strangling machine, constantly harvesting human lives.
……
King Ning's army finally retreated at dusk, and at this time the river was already covered with corpses, blood flowing like a river.The blood-colored river was full of fierce fighting just now.
When Jiao Shizhi knew that King Ning's fleet had disappeared, he staggered twice with his sword and almost fell to his knees.Barely supporting his body, he looked back at the place where the emperor was, and after seeing the familiar face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly fatigue spread all over his body.
The usual training was completely different from the time when he actually went on the field to kill the enemy. Jiao Shizhi just felt that he couldn't lift his arms.His eyes were sour, his face was bloody, and his body was covered with large bloodstains, some of which belonged to others, as well as his own.
Cutting the meat with the sword's edge is as easy as tofu, as if killing people is such a common thing.However, as long as I think of that feeling, I feel so sick that I almost want to vomit.Just now I could completely ignore it, but now I can hardly hold it back.
Suppressing the disgusting feeling of rolling in his chest, Jiao Shizhi dragged his pace for a few steps, and was supported by Zhu Houzhao who broke through the encirclement.He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but his lack of strength made him not very successful.He watched the emperor's hand was stained red by the blood on his body, and murmured: "Your Majesty, dirty..."
"Dirty fart!" Emperor Zhengde said with a cold face, his voice was almost chilling.He forcibly pulled him into his arms, examined him carefully, and only slightly relaxed the breath in his heart.
God knows that he saw Shizhi fighting bloody battle with his own eyes, and he didn't feel that he was wise and powerful at all, his heart and eyes were full of worry, and he was afraid that Jiao Shizhi would be the next one to fall!
Jiao Shizhi said vaguely: "Your Majesty, I'm fine. The battle situation..."
"I've already sent people to clean and tidy up, don't worry about it." Zhu Houzhao's tone was still not very good.
Jiao Shizhi nodded, and his mind that had not turned at all during the fight on the battlefield began to slowly become active, "Your Majesty, what about Qingrong?"
You know, Chen Chuming was the fuse this time, if he was taken away by someone in a panic, then it would be...
"It's okay, there is a team of people protecting him. Someone reported it just now, you'd better deal with your own wound first." Zhu Houzhao said.
Jiao Shizhi nodded.
No matter how much Zhu Houzhao wanted to stare at him personally, the rebellion of King Ning was no small matter. After this stop, the war between the imperial court and King Ning was inevitable, and Emperor Zhengde had to make arrangements.
After Jiao Shizhi staggered back to the room by himself, he immediately leaned against the bed and vomited for a long time. The stench of blood and the feeling of killing just now all came up, making him almost sick.He didn't get up until all he vomited was acidic water, wiped his body with the cold water in the room, and then came out to clean up the wound.
This is just the only way he has thought about, it is difficult, and it is just his promise to the emperor.
He said that he must protect him for the rest of his life, so that he cannot be harmed in any way, even if he is just one of thousands of guards.
Jiao Shizhi himself is also an intelligence officer, and he knows that the whole of Jiangxi is the people of King Ning. If he puts all his efforts into investigating, he will find them soon.
Emperor Zhengde's status was sensitive and noble, and King Ning's motives were unclear, so it was reasonable to not meddle in Chen Chuming's affairs at this time, at least not him and the emperor himself.
However, Emperor Zhengde didn't care.
After Jiao Shizhi wrote a few words on his palm with his fingertips, he whispered in Jiao Shizhi's ear: "If you want to do something, then do it, don't regret it later, that's what I want the most." something to worry about."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were gentle, and he firmly believed in Jiao Shizhi's behavior, just as he believed in every time he persuaded him, which made Jiao Shizhi's heart burn.He lowered his eyebrows and chuckled, and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.
The Western store is a very attractive place, and there are many people coming and going. It is impossible for the boss to stand beside Jiao Shizhi and the others all the time, and he will soon be attracted by other customers.Inadvertently, Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao slipped into the door of the store one after another. Just as they entered, they saw a little girl playing by the door. Just as Jiao Shizhi was about to cover her mouth, Zhu Houzhao had already stretched out his hand. Knocked the little girl out.
Jiao Shizhi cast a reproachful glance at the emperor, the little girl is only four or five years old.Zhu Houzhao settled the child, and pulled him to the back, "Time is running out, let's talk about me when I get back."
The two entered the backyard one after the other. The backyard was not very big. They avoided the main room when they heard the sound. They searched for a few rooms on the left, and finally found the movement inside.Emperor Zhengde kicked in the door, and all the scenes in the house fell into his eyes.
A young man in the corner was putting a package behind him quickly. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, he was a little confused, and then his eyes fell on Jiao Shizhi, but he was surprised, "Shizhi, why are you here?" Both Zhu Houzhao and Jiao Shizhi had pretended before they came out, but Chen Chuming and Jiao Shizhi were good friends, so they recognized Jiao Shizhi at a glance.
In the next moment, such joy turned into anxiety, "If you can be here, the emperor must be here too. Didn't I tell you to be careful of King Ning? Why are you still here!"
Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "This is the one in front of you, you should leave with us first."
Chen Chuming:! ! !
Chen Chuming originally wanted to leave. He avoided it for two or three days. According to the ability of Prince Ning's Mansion, it was about time to find out here. If he didn't leave, it might be too late.
When Jiao Shizhi and the others came, they came in a carriage. After all, they were disguised as a caravan with so many people. The attendants waiting outside the door had already received Jiao Shizhi's signal and drove the carriage to the back. The three of them Just like that, he slipped away quietly over the wall.It wasn't until the owner of the western store was questioned by the people of Prince Ning's mansion that he recalled the few people just now, including the carpenter who had just been in his backyard for two or three days.
Jiao Shizhi's actions were quick. After he decided to save people, he sent people to the inn to take the people living in the inn to the pier directly, and they also went directly to the pier to meet.After completing the process of boarding and leaving the boat neatly, Emperor Zhengde asked the boat to move forward at full speed, and even threw a lot of load directly on the boat on the river to reduce the weight.
Although the flood was raging behind him, when everyone on the boat started to get busy, there were three people sitting in Emperor Zhengde's room in the cabin.
Emperor Zhengde was sitting on the window sill, with one foot resting on it, his hand resting on the foot, and the other hanging foot kept shaking. Er Jiao Shizhi and Chen Chuming were sitting at the table.
At this time, Chen Chuming had relaxed a lot compared to when we first met, but his face was still heavy, he looked at Emperor Zhengde outside the window, and said to Jiao Shizhi in a low voice: "Shizhi, is the emperor angry? "If it wasn't for saving him, the emperor and the others wouldn't have been in such a mess, and Chen Chuming felt restless at the thought of him sitting in front of the emperor.
Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly: "The emperor just likes to look at the river, you don't have to worry."
"Let it go."
The person who was looking at the river threw two words without even turning his head, his deep voice was a little hoarse, "It's mine."
Chen Chuming couldn't figure it out. When he left, Jiao Shizhi didn't have his name yet.Emperor Zhengde's ambiguous words made him unable to react for a while.Jiao Shizhi looked at the emperor helplessly, and said to Chen Chuming: "Let it be is the name given to me by the emperor."
Chen Chuming suddenly realized, and then thought of his own name, his face turned pale and pale.Originally, Jiao Shizhi wanted to ask Chen Chuming what his name was, but he didn't remember it under his reaction, and instead asked something else, "Are you okay?"
It's not just about his body.
Chen Chuming's lips were pale, and he still nodded. Remembering the reason for his embarrassment, he couldn't help muttering: "I've actually had a good life these past few years." Chen Chuming couldn't accept his behavior anyway.
"I was sent to the guard station in the south at the beginning, and I acted with the dispatched people. I was robbed on the way, and then I went directly to Prince Ning's Mansion. I have stayed in Prince Ning's Mansion until now. King Ning has taken care of Jiangxi very well. At first, I thought that he should be a good prince. It wasn't until later that I realized that he didn't just want to be a good prince. "
"He never defended me, so when I went to his study that day, I didn't expect to run into a conversation between him and his counselor. Jiangxi has garrisoned [-] troops, the people support it, and the money and food are sufficient. As long as the time is right, the throne is just around the corner. "
These few words came out of Chen Chuming's mouth, but they no longer felt uncomfortable when they heard them.He covered half of his face and said, "Of course I was discovered by them. After I was imprisoned, I don't know why King Ning didn't kill me, but the more news I knew."
"King Ning has connections with several vassal kings around him. It is impossible to help him rebel. However, if the general trend is on King Ning, they agree to help him ascend to the throne. The drug incident in the capital was also related to King Ning. There are some trivial things, I have already told the emperor and you all on the way here."
After Chen Chuming finished talking about everything, his hands on his knees were already clenched into fists, and his nails dug deeply into his palms, causing his eyes to twitch from the pain.Although he said all his emotions in one word, all the people here are smart people, and Chen Chuming knew that they already knew something from the loopholes in his words.
This kind of shameful thing was spread out in the sun, which made Chen Chuming very embarrassed, and wished he could cover his face with his sleeves.
Jiao Shizhi took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Chuming's shoulder, barely showing a smile. If it wasn't for Chen Chuming thinking that he despised him, Jiao Shizhi's face would be darkened by now.
Zhu Houzhao walked to Jiao Shizhi's side, took off his hair tie, and wrapped it around his wrist three or two times, "Shizhi, where is my tiger amulet?"
Seeing that Jiao Shizhi reluctantly took out another hair tie from his sleeve, he smirked at Chen Chuming while smoothing his hair, "The emperor likes to pull people's headbands recently, maybe one day he will do the same to you."
"What? Shizhi, absolutely not, I just want to pick your hairband alone, don't just recommend it to me!" Zhu Houzhao rummaged on the table for a long time, but couldn't find the tiger charm that should exist.Jiao Shizhi gasped and went to help him find it. I really don't know if this master is caring, he can even throw tiger charms casually!
Chen Chuming watched the interaction between the two with a dazed expression, a possibility flashed in his mind, and he immediately suppressed it firmly in his heart. Just because he is such a person, others should not be treated as such!After thinking about it this way, Chen Chuming became more and more depressed, feeling that he was even more unbearable, and lowered his head to look at the ground.
After a long time, Emperor Zhengde and Jiao Shizhi heard Chen Chuming's hesitant voice, "Is this what the emperor is looking for?" He pointed to the foot of the table and said.
Jiao Shizhi turned the whole table over, and then looked at the tiger talisman inlaid on the broken table foot. He was silent for a while, then pulled out the forgotten tiger talisman vigorously, and said to the embarrassing Emperor Zhengde: " If Chu Ming is not here today, will the emperor have to turn the whole house upside down and not be able to remember where the tiger talisman is?"
How could the emperor stuff the tiger talisman into the gap between the table legs? ! !If Li Dongyang was here now, he might faint from anger!
Emperor Zhengde took the tiger talisman handed over by Jiao Shizhi, and said with a little embarrassment: "Isn't this table not very flat? You didn't feel comfortable reading on it before. I didn't think that the size was just right, so I put it on it first. Let’s talk about it in a few days.”
Bearing it on, two months passed in a flash, and Emperor Zhengde completely forgot about it.
Jiao Shizhi sighed helplessly, turned around and reset the table.
"Minghua—" Emperor Zhengde raised his voice and called out his name.
Jin Yiwei, who was guarding the door, pushed the door and entered, kneeling on one knee in front of Emperor Zhengde, "Your Majesty!"
……
Chen Chuming's arrival not only cleared away the fog in front of Jiao Shizhi, but also brought real troubles to their group.Before they left Jiangxi, they felt that someone was catching up behind them, but the distance was quite far, and they could only see a few familiar shadows of boats behind them when the weather was excellent.
However, it was only a matter of time before they were overtaken. Their boat was too big, and they couldn't keep up with the speed of the boat. On the third day, they could clearly see neat boats on the river, which was much more majestic than the day before yesterday.
Li Dongyang stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the approaching fleet, but he was thinking in his heart, it was rare for the emperor to play off, how would he feel now?He turned his head to look at Emperor Zhengde standing in front on the left, and saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very happy. When he saw Li Dongyang looking at him, he pointed to the clearly visible ship and said with a smile: " Elder Li Ge, looking at those people, do you feel your blood boil?"
Li Dongyang said calmly: "No, please calm down, Your Majesty. We only have 200 people here, which is incomparable to King Ning's team. I will not stand on the side of the emperor."
Li Dongyang didn't know how to dispatch troops, but he clearly knew that they were clearly on the disadvantaged side.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have startled the snake and caused King Ning to follow you. You have a noble status. If something happened this time, I deserve death!" Li Dongyang said with his face covered.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Dongyang casually, and said with a sneer, "What are you afraid of? Looking at this posture, if you know who I am, you won't just send this group of people over."
Li Dongyang sighed, "When they find out, there will be one after another."
"That's not necessarily true." Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said, with a casual and relaxed look.
The next day, the big boat they were on had already been chased up by the small boat behind them, gradually forming a siege. Even though the ship was manned by an excellent boatman, the speed of the small boat was far inferior to that of the big boat.As for why they insisted on staying on the big ship until they died, it was because of the news brought by Chen Chuming, don't try to get rid of King Ning's tracking on Jiangxi's territory, only the navy is his weak point.
In the end they were caught up at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian.
Jiao Shizhi stood side by side with Emperor Zhengde on the board of the ship, looked at the mighty fleet around him, and said to the young man next to him: "Your Majesty, it seems that he should be a little more dignified than us."
Emperor Zhengde nodded approvingly, "Indeed, this is no match for others in terms of numbers."
Li Dongyang next to him felt his eyes twitch, "Your Majesty, if they want to attack by force later, please don't come forward."
"Why?" Zhu Houzhao said with his hands behind his back, "He doesn't know me."
Jiao Shizhi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, that's not necessarily the case. King Ning is very thoughtful. If it wasn't for the error of Qingrong, he doesn't know how long it would take to dig out his heels. He must have known your appearance a long time ago. "Chen Chuming had already made more secrets with Jiao Shizhi in private, which made Jiao Shizhi dumbfounded when he first heard it, and then he was puzzled and didn't know how to persuade him.
Zhu Houzhao touched his face, pretended to be serious and said, "I mean, give me a disguise."
The atmosphere between the few people talking was brisk, but in fact the scene was not as relaxed as they showed.After discovering King Ning's men for the first time, they received a summons from the other party that night, which probably meant to order them to stop and check.
No answer.
The next day, someone flew an arrow to send a letter ordering them to stop. If they didn't stop, they would be treated as thieves from then on.
Continue without answering.
And since that day, there has been no more news, only chasing after him wholeheartedly.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Jiao Shizhi to naively think that after being caught by them, King Ning's men would simply search for it, and on the third day, a ship with the same hull as them appeared behind him. Er's big boat looked extremely prosperous, and Chen Chuming recognized it at a glance. It was the boat that King Ning had traveled on before.
In this way, maybe there is King Ning on that boat.
Jiao Shizhi looked at the sparkling water, remembering the vision he saw earlier.
[King Ning invaded the people's fields, seized money, raised a group of robbers, and robbed the rivers and lakes, and some officials dared not take responsibility.In the 14th year of Zhengde, after Ning rebelled, what he called 43 people went out to plunder and kill.However, only [-] days, it is broken. 】
This is the sentence that flashed through Jiao Shizhi's mind when he saw the emperor this morning.However, the difference between this sentence and what Jiao Shizhi learned was so great that Jiao Shi began to faintly feel worried.If it is true as the prediction said, why is King Ning's meticulousness almost incomprehensible to what he saw along the way? Under such circumstances, how could he be as stupid and bound as the prediction?
And the time of the rebellion was exactly ten years later.
He squeezed his fingers subconsciously, remembering the pattern he had foreseen before.Although the things foreseen are irregular, but for some deeds that can greatly change history, Jiao Shizhi can often see things that are about to happen, just like he foresaw the emperor falling into the water and the death of the late emperor , all before things happen.
Even though what he foresaw in the morning was so absurd, Jiao Shizhi could only speculate on one possibility based on the laws he had concluded before.
If it is not done well, they can really see the first day of King Ning's rebellion with their own eyes.
It's a great honor, but Jiao Shizhi doesn't want to have such an honor.
He looked into the distance, watching the approaching ships, and suddenly heard Emperor Zhengde's order, "Dock!"
Li Dongyang was startled, and looked up at the direction the emperor was pointing, his face changed suddenly, "Your Majesty, that's just an abandoned pier!" They are now at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, which is barely an uninhabited area. How many people live.
Originally, they were gradually surrounded, but in this situation, the emperor actually ordered them to dock. Didn't this speed up the possibility of being rounded up? !
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Li Ge, I know it in my heart. If you are worried, you can go to rest in the cabin first, and come out when things are over." Li Dongyang was almost not overwhelmed by Emperor Zhengde's words, and Zhengde The emperor has already entered the house leisurely and made people disguise him.
Jiao Shizhi looked helplessly at the back of the emperor leaving, and hurriedly turned around to make amends for him. After persuading Li Dongyang for a long time, he finally managed to calm down the old man's temper.
The emperor and elder Ge's tempers are not very good, and Jiao Shizhi who is caught in the middle sometimes really has to deal with both ends.Just when Li Dongyang went back to find the emperor to continue, Jiao Shizhi heard Chen Chuming's words, "Ren Zhi, you have a really good relationship with the emperor."
Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "After all, I have been by the emperor's side for so many years, it is right for the emperor to relax."
Chen Chuming shook his head with a smile, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I'm not talking about this, but the emperor never fails to smile in front of you." He stretched out his hand to make a smiling face, and continued, "If there is no smile, it is the smile in the eyes." And with a big smile."
I am very happy to see you.
Emperor Zhengde didn't say it, but showed it in various actions.
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips and patted Chen Chuming's shoulder with his hand.Perhaps Chen Chuming remembered something, and his original smile gradually dissipated. After a long time, he sighed, "Shizhi, you shouldn't have saved me in the first place." If it wasn't for this, King Ning might not have found their traces.
Jiao Shizhi shook his head, "It's my intention and the emperor's intention to save you. I won't regret it before I do it, and I won't regret it even after I do it. Now that King Ning is chasing you, find a way to bring him back. Just drive them away, why worry.”
Chen Chuming looked at the distant ships with a wry smile, "Do you think that the troops here are all King Ning has?"
Jiao Shizhi frowned, "I don't think so."
Looking outside, Chen Chuming gradually became obsessed and lost his mind.Jiao Shizhi didn't call him back, but watched with him.
Chen Chuming didn't know, but Jiao Shizhi knew that King Ning's pursuit was very dynamic.Even in Jiangxi, rumors may leak out, not to mention that now that Jiangxi has been left, King Ning is still chasing after him.Apart from Emperor Zhengde on board, there was only one possibility left.
——Chen Chuming.
Jiao Shizhi took a step back quietly, looking at his childhood friend.
Maybe there are other things that Chen Chuming doesn't know, for example, why does King Ning value him so much?Or, Chen Chuming underestimated his status in King Ning's heart?However, these are all considered from the good side, if you think about it from the bad side... Maybe everyone in this boat will be destroyed here.
Just hope that the emperor's backhand can play a role.
Jiao Shizhi prayed in his heart like this, but no matter what in his heart, there was no worry at all, he was as calm as if today was just an ordinary outing, which gradually dissipated the original tense emotions on the boat.After all, Jin Yiwei is also a human being, and it is natural to be nervous in such a situation.However, if you are too nervous, you will easily lose control. Now the commander is so calm, and the atmosphere is so neutralized, it is just right.
The big ship soon docked at the abandoned pier, and the ships that were originally encircled had to shrink the original circular encirclement because of the actions of the big ship, and could only barely form a semicircle.After the big ship docked, half of the Jin Yiwei on board disembarked and quickly used various methods to block the possibility of docking.
Except for the big ship on their side, no other ships can dock at the moment.Unless King Ning ordered them to jump out of the boat and swim to fight in this situation.
After receiving the order, those small boats only followed the middle boat, and then stopped at a distance of ten feet.If you look at it from a distance, it is a large ship with a group of small boats to attack another large ship, and successfully surround the other large ship on an abandoned pier.
The small boat stopped, but the bigger and more luxurious boat than Jiao Shizhi's was still gradually approaching them. It didn't stop until the bows of the two boats were very close. At this time, Zhu Houzhao also never stopped. When he came out, he just put a beard on his face, and his demeanor changed from the original lazy to the current ruffian. It really... really suits him.
Facing such an emperor, Jiao Shizhi retreated a little weakly, and after sending Chen Chuming back to the cabin, he stood back beside Zhu Houzhao again.Hearing the emperor shout angrily, "Who are you waiting for, why are you chasing us all the time! Is it a thief, be careful, I will report to the officials!"
Jiao Shizhi: ...
The person opposite: ...
An equally high-spirited voice came from the opposite side, "I am Your Majesty Ning, I now suspect that you are harboring criminals on board, so get off the boat quickly and let me search it!"
"Go away! You are you, King Ning, and I still say that I am the emperor! You will not be afraid of thunder if you tell such a big lie? All the people on my boat are good people, do you understand the good people? Ah!" The voice came from the bearded man's mouth, and his expression and demeanor were completely different from the original one.
The man was choked by such direct and shameless words, and he said after a while: "We have something to prove our identity, and we will show it when we get on the boat."
"No way! Tell the people on your boat who can be the masters to come out! I am the masters of my boat, but you may not be the masters of yours. Why should I listen to your nonsense!"
The other side was silent.
After a long time, a voice as clear as jade sounded, "I am King Ning."
King Ning?King Ning!
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, took a step forward and stood behind Zhu Houzhao, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand, but he was thinking about why this voice sounded a little familiar.He frowned, thinking in his heart, but on the face Zhu Houzhao had already opened his voice with King Ning, and he actually said a few words between you and me, but it was all nonsense to Jiao Shizhi's ears.
The emperor had such a good time playing, it stands to reason that as a subject, he just needs to watch, but now the person on the other side is obviously coming in a hurry and prepared, so it is unreliable to continue playing like this.Jiao Shizhi quietly tugged at the emperor's clothes behind him, making Zhu Houzhao pouted in dissatisfaction, but he didn't chat anymore.
But Jiao Shizhi suddenly remembered where he had heard this voice after King Ning spoke many times.
In the 15th year of Hongzhi, Jiao Shizhi returned to his hometown for the funeral. When he was still in the mountains, he often went to the tea stand at the gate of the town to listen to the news. At that time, someone once prevented others from spying on the red dates.
And that person's voice was so similar to King Ning's today.
It turned out that that person was King Ning!
Since when did he start secretly visiting the north and south, ignoring the vassal king's request not to get the fief.The imperial court has never received any memorials related to Jiangxi.
Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, and the other side also didn't speak, and the atmosphere was strangely stalemate here.
Obviously there are [-] troops on the opposite side now, if you really want to wipe out this side, it is an extremely simple matter.However, for some reason, King Ning hesitated, and did not give an order for a long time.
After a long time, the figure of King Ning appeared at the bow of the boat. He was dressed in moon white, with a small carving hanging on his waist. Standing with his arms folded, he looked extremely handsome, and his eyes had a special charm.
Jiao Shizhi sighed in his heart, it really was him.
At that time, Jiao Shizhi once thought that this person's temper is so opposite, even though they met by chance, it was enough to make him feel good that day, but unexpectedly, the next meeting will be such a confrontational scene.
"Ming people don't speak dark words. If you hand them over, I will allow you to leave safely." Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao said, his voice was soft, as if he was talking about gentle words.
Zhu Houzhao sneered, "People? We have one or two hundred people here, who knows which one you want?"
"I want someone I love deeply."
King Ning's understatement made Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but stare at each other silently.King Ning's painting style doesn't look quite right, shouldn't it be a fugitive, a criminal or something like that?
Zhu Houzhao walked to the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looked at the man standing at the same height and said with a smile: "You are wrong, there is not even a single woman on this boat."
"I never said that he is a woman." King Ning seemed sure that the person he wanted must be on the boat, and circled with Zhu Houzhao calmly.
However, after listening to King Ning's words, Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and flew wildly, "I like your answer. Let me tell you, the person you are looking for is indeed on my boat."
"If he is willing to go with you, I will naturally not stop him, but if he is unwilling, even if you send someone to kill him, you will not be able to take him away." Zhu Houzhao said with a strong smile, making the voice on the other side It was quiet for a while.
During the silence, the sky suddenly heard the sound of an eagle. Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed satisfaction, and he said in a clear voice: "My second hand has arrived. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep me waiting today."
The opposite side became quieter, but there was a sound gradually coming from behind. Jiao Shizhi turned his head and saw a large number of people and horses coming here. He glanced roughly at the military flag waving in the wind, and knew that it was the military horse of the Fujian General Army.
King Ning's power was inadvertently exposed to Zhu Houzhao. When he was not prepared enough, he should not act rashly.
However, Jiao Shizhi held the hilt of the sword even harder, and he was always faintly flustered, as if something was unexpected.
When King Ning's eyes saw the banner of Fujian General Soldier, his bright and clear expression was instantly absorbed by his dark eyes, as if he wanted to eat his flesh and blood alive!
The sparkle in the eyes moved slightly, as if thinking of something, the corners of the mouth curled up, but there was no warm feeling at all.
"Come on, attack!"
At this moment, the fleet, which had been standing still, showed what it was like to move like a rabbit. It galloped to the vicinity of the big ship in an instant, and the battle began in a blink of an eye.
After the Fujian General Soldier's team got involved, the battle turned into a war.
It's so sudden, but it makes people feel that it should be taken for granted.The two teams were fighting at the same place, and for a while they couldn't tell which was King Ning's team and which was the reinforcements.
And Jiao Shizhi protected Emperor Zhengde, and when an enemy jumped onto the ship's plank, he fought with them without hesitation.The sound of sword bones intersecting was unpleasant, and the smell of blood was even more unpleasant. Jiao Shizhi had kept the sword for many years, but he never really made him fight in blood.Now that he is doing it, his face does not change, like a veteran for many years, he and his colleagues in the Jinyiwei guard Zhu Houzhao, Liu Dongyang and others to safety.
"Appropriate!"
The young men who were fighting together seemed to have heard the voice of the emperor, turned around slightly, and miraculously avoided a flash of saber.He kicked away the soldier who was entangled with him, and stabbed the sword-bearer with his backhand. Before he pulled out the sword, he lowered himself to avoid the sword of others, and used the person on the sword as a cover with his backhand.
This was only a few breaths, but Emperor Zhengde's heart almost stopped beating in fright.
King Ning, who was standing at the bow of the boat in the distance, slowly raised his mouth, "So that's it...it's just a half-baked smile."
The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of tearing, the sound of drumming, Jiao Shi's body is in the whirlpool, completely unaware of what time this year is, the sword in his hand automatically cuts at every approaching unknown object.
The battlefield is like a strangling machine, constantly harvesting human lives.
……
King Ning's army finally retreated at dusk, and at this time the river was already covered with corpses, blood flowing like a river.The blood-colored river was full of fierce fighting just now.
When Jiao Shizhi knew that King Ning's fleet had disappeared, he staggered twice with his sword and almost fell to his knees.Barely supporting his body, he looked back at the place where the emperor was, and after seeing the familiar face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly fatigue spread all over his body.
The usual training was completely different from the time when he actually went on the field to kill the enemy. Jiao Shizhi just felt that he couldn't lift his arms.His eyes were sour, his face was bloody, and his body was covered with large bloodstains, some of which belonged to others, as well as his own.
Cutting the meat with the sword's edge is as easy as tofu, as if killing people is such a common thing.However, as long as I think of that feeling, I feel so sick that I almost want to vomit.Just now I could completely ignore it, but now I can hardly hold it back.
Suppressing the disgusting feeling of rolling in his chest, Jiao Shizhi dragged his pace for a few steps, and was supported by Zhu Houzhao who broke through the encirclement.He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but his lack of strength made him not very successful.He watched the emperor's hand was stained red by the blood on his body, and murmured: "Your Majesty, dirty..."
"Dirty fart!" Emperor Zhengde said with a cold face, his voice was almost chilling.He forcibly pulled him into his arms, examined him carefully, and only slightly relaxed the breath in his heart.
God knows that he saw Shizhi fighting bloody battle with his own eyes, and he didn't feel that he was wise and powerful at all, his heart and eyes were full of worry, and he was afraid that Jiao Shizhi would be the next one to fall!
Jiao Shizhi said vaguely: "Your Majesty, I'm fine. The battle situation..."
"I've already sent people to clean and tidy up, don't worry about it." Zhu Houzhao's tone was still not very good.
Jiao Shizhi nodded, and his mind that had not turned at all during the fight on the battlefield began to slowly become active, "Your Majesty, what about Qingrong?"
You know, Chen Chuming was the fuse this time, if he was taken away by someone in a panic, then it would be...
"It's okay, there is a team of people protecting him. Someone reported it just now, you'd better deal with your own wound first." Zhu Houzhao said.
Jiao Shizhi nodded.
No matter how much Zhu Houzhao wanted to stare at him personally, the rebellion of King Ning was no small matter. After this stop, the war between the imperial court and King Ning was inevitable, and Emperor Zhengde had to make arrangements.
After Jiao Shizhi staggered back to the room by himself, he immediately leaned against the bed and vomited for a long time. The stench of blood and the feeling of killing just now all came up, making him almost sick.He didn't get up until all he vomited was acidic water, wiped his body with the cold water in the room, and then came out to clean up the wound.
This is just the only way he has thought about, it is difficult, and it is just his promise to the emperor.
He said that he must protect him for the rest of his life, so that he cannot be harmed in any way, even if he is just one of thousands of guards.
