Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 639
"What did you say?" Liu Hongjian couldn't believe his ears.

"Master Commander, the Supreme Emperor fell into a coma on the night of November 22, and was diagnosed and treated by the Imperial Hospital envoy Qi Mingyin and other imperial physicians, but he did not wake up.

Jin Yiwei Tongzhi Master Liang felt that the matter was of great importance, so in order to avoid leaking the news, he came to report in person in a humble position. "Liang Kewang explained.

Liu Hongjian only heard the first half of Liang Kewang's sentence, and his expression changed instantly.

"Niu Zhuang, prepare the horse, the king will return to Beijing immediately!" Liu Hongjian said loudly, taking the windbreaker from the hanger as he spoke.

"Why are you so anxious, my lord? It's still snowing in Sichuan and Sichuan, and the mountains are already difficult to walk. At least it will be better when the snow stops." As soon as he went out, Qin Yiming heard that Liu Hongjian was going back to Beijing, and dissuaded him.

"No, I have something important to do, I must go back to Beijing immediately, and someone will lead the way!" Liu Hongjian said angrily to Qin Yiming with his eyes wide open.

"The last general has an order!" Qin Yiming saw that Liu Hongjian's expression was not right, although he didn't know what happened in the capital, he didn't stop to dissuade him.

The white soldiers who rushed to the southeast coast were all left behind to garrison. When Liu Hongjian came to Sichuan and Shu with only three hundred personal guards, it was difficult to enter Sichuan, and it was not easy to leave Sichuan.

With a single order, five hundred white soldiers gathered outside Shijie City in just a quarter of an hour, and Qin Yiming, dressed in armor, immediately went to the front of the formation.

"Let's go!" Liu Hongjian rode out of the city with [-] personal guards on horseback. He didn't stop before Qin Yiming's troops, and ordered more than [-] cavalry to run northeastward.

Shijie is located in the eastern part of Sichuan and Shu, and to the north is Kuizhou Mansion at the junction of Sichuan and Shu and Huguang.

But the difficulty lies in the first section of the Sichuan Road, under the snow-covered mountains, there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, and many steep places are already impassable.

From the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, 800 people set off from Shijie and traveled for four days before reaching Kaixian County, Kuizhou.

During the period, more than 20 people fell off the cliff due to the steep and slippery mountain road, and more than 50 people had to return individually due to falls.

The eight hundred soldiers were on their way throughout the day, except for the rest when it was dark, and even ate on horseback. Although Liu Hongjian felt guilty, the matter was urgent and he couldn't care less.

After arriving in Dekai County, Qin Yiming bid farewell to Liu Hongjian because he would enter Huguang further east, leaving most of the white-armed guards behind, and returned with a dozen of them.

After passing through Xiangyang through Kuizhou, Liu Hongjian continued to run northeastward. Because he thought the water was too slow, Liu Hongjian replaced his horses in Xiangyang and continued to gallop northeastward.

On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Hongjian arrived in Runing Mansion, Henan.

It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the fields in the north were fallow. Although it was not snowing here, there were not many pedestrians on the road. Seeing that his subordinates were exhausted, Liu Hongjian waved his hand to signal the soldiers to take a rest in Longkou Township.

After entering the small town, Liu Hongjian found a big family named Li Xueyong in the town after inquiring. After all, there are more than 700 people in the town, and an ordinary small inn is not enough to supply supplies.

Liu Hongjian directly showed the badge of Jinyiwei, took out another 100 taels of silver bills, and asked Li Xueyong to prepare meals for more than 700 people immediately.

Li Xueyong had never seen such a battle before, his legs were already trembling with fright, and he obeyed his orders and left.

More than half an hour later, there was smoke from cooking inside and outside the Li family compound, and there were forty or fifty stoves that had been set up temporarily to steam steamed buns.

There are many noodles in the north, but if you want to provide meals for more than 700 people as quickly as possible, steamed buns are the most convenient way.

There are not so many vegetables in winter, so Li Xueyong donated all the jars of kimchi that he prepared for the winter at home.

Hundreds of people inside and outside were holding steaming steamed buns and kimchi, and eating and chatting with big bowls of porridge.

Among the several hundred people were the Sichuan Army, and among the Sichuan Army there were Tujia, Miao, and Han Chinese. In addition, Liu Hongjian was from the personal guard camp near Shuntianfu.

Liu Hongjian watched all this in silence, he just wanted to go back to Beijing as soon as possible, to visit the uncle who worked so hard for the Ming Dynasty.

"Master, why don't you have a bowl of porridge too!" Niu Dabanchui came over with a bowl of hot porridge.

He knew why his master was silent, but if he was not in his position, he would not seek his own affairs. All he could do was to protect his master's safety along the way, and everything else had nothing to do with him.

"Eat it, I don't..."

Before Liu Hongjian could finish his sentence, he felt the world spinning, and the ground under his feet suddenly trembled. The soldiers holding bowls in the compound were stunned for a moment, and many of them spilled the hot porridge from their bowls.

"It's an earthquake! Hurry up! Get out of this yard and go outside..."

"Master, be careful!" Before he could finish speaking, Niu Da Bangchui threw away the big bowl in his hand and tried to push Liu Hongjian.

The courtyard wall behind Liu Hongjian collapsed, submerging Niu Dabang together.

"My lord! My lord was hit by the courtyard wall, hurry up and save my lord!" Niu Dawu stopped, Kuo Duanhu let out a roar, and Liu Hu ran towards the collapsed courtyard wall recklessly.

The earthquake was still going on, and the Li family compound was in chaos. Some ran around looking for a way out, and some were at a loss and ran around.

Only the personal guards brought by Liu Hongjian were either guarding the collapsed courtyard wall with guns in hand, or planing bricks with hands and feet.

Suddenly there was a dull thumping sound under the ground, and many soldiers felt dizzy and swayed left and right.

"The ground...the ground is about to crack, get out of here—" a soldier pointed to a crack in the middle of the yard.

In an instant, the cracks on the ground became bigger and bigger, and several soldiers who hadn't had time to run away fell into the cracks, and one of the soldiers was desperately clinging to the edge of the crack, calling for help desperately.

However, the surrounding swirling stations couldn't stand still. In just a moment, the soil under the soldier couldn't bear the soldier's weight and fell into the abyss.

……

The entire earthquake lasted less than [-] breaths, but in just this moment, the Li Family Courtyard was reduced to rubble.

There were tragic cries everywhere, some had their feet broken by the courtyard wall, some were directly smashed to death, and some fell and disappeared without a trace. They were all born and died. The soldiers couldn't accept this sudden bad news for a while.

The aftershocks were still going on, within the guard circle of the personal guard camp, several big men including Kuo Duan and Liu Hu were still digging bricks and stones under the courtyard wall.

Under the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the two of them had sweat on their foreheads and blood on their hands.

"I found it! My lord is here!" Kuo Duan exclaimed when he saw the skirt of his clothes under the bricks.

Hearing this, Liu Hu quickly ran to Kuo Duan's side, and the two of them dug out Liu Hongjian and Niu Da Bangchui under the bricks with their joint efforts.

Niu Dazhuai lay on Liu Hongjian's body and fell into a coma, while Liu Hongjian woke up under the pulling of the soldiers.

Liu Hongjian's face was covered with dust and there were bloodstains on his face. He sat up and shook his head, as if he was not sober.

"Balm! Big mallet!" Seeing Niu Zhuang lying on the ground, Liu Hongjian exclaimed.

If Niu Zhuang hadn't been in a hurry to protect him with his body just now, he would have been the first to hit the courtyard wall.

Niu Zhuang's head was bleeding, his right arm was smashed to pieces, and he didn't respond to Liu Hongjian's call.

Trembling, Liu Hongjian poked his finger towards the snort of Niu Da Bang Chui...
