I have a cornucopia

Chapter 112 You betrayed me and you laughed it off
"Damn it, it won't work if this goes on!"

Yang Feng hid in a forest and looked at the enemies who were searching outside.

The darkness of the midnight wilderness was filled with the light of torches.

At least two to three thousand people.

Beside him, Chongzhen and others were lying on the ground, shivering.

However, they had all run away at this time, and only a few dozen people were still following them. They were all lying on the ground shivering, and Empress Zhou and the other prince were still not found. As for Concubine Yuan Guifei, they still didn't know where they were. This woman shouldn't have to worry too much. Not only can she shoot arrows, she can also ride a horse, so the probability of escaping is still very high. She is probably from a military background. But Queen Zhou is very dangerous. After all, everyone knows about Queen Zhou's background. With someone like her, she probably won't be able to run very far...

This is Chen Renxi's hard work, but there should be no escapes in the training program.

Of course, leave it to fate!

At this time, no one can guarantee the safety of others. Even if Yang Feng can fight, he rushes out and beats all these assassins to death, but the time he takes to beat these assassins to death is enough for Chongzhen to be killed. Chop it into pieces calmly. He couldn't go behind Chongzhen's back and break out of the siege in a bloody battle. We were not that close yet, and he was more interested in breaking out in a bloody battle behind Zhaoren's back than behind Chongzhen's back.

"Sir, please forgive me, I am just a follower who handles things, ah!"

He could only die accidentally.

Obviously there are people hiding outside, and they want to actively beg for mercy to save their lives, but it is impossible to survive such a thing.

His Majesty the Emperor continues to lie dormant.

It is the environment of the Lugou River that is quickly becoming a no-man's land that allows people to intercept and kill without restraint. Here, as long as all the people accompanying him are killed, the cause of his death can be explained casually, and because it was an accident, officials and gentry from all over the country will also accept it. , after all, no one can do anything about the accident.

The assassins immediately thrust their torches into the dead branches and leaves at their feet, and the flames immediately spread.

A voice shouted.

The assassins are still searching and have entered the woods. However, at night like this, it is really difficult to find dozens of people lying among the dead branches and leaves by the light of torches...

"It's a steel fork cap!"

They immediately chased Lao Wang.

The fire was already very close, and young eunuchs and palace maids were being burned out. Yang Feng took off his clothes, motioned for Chongzhen and his daughter to come over, then covered him with his aramid armor, put on his hood, and lowered his head. A pestle. This kind of fire is just a line, and it will be fine if you push it over. The aramid layer on his body is more than one centimeter thick. This thing is inherently flame-retardant, and the fire line above his head soon pushed over. Because most of the assassins were attracted by Lao Wang, and the rest were busy chasing down the palace maids and young eunuchs, no one paid serious attention here. The line of fire quickly passed around Yang Feng and others, and the assassins did not No matter what, they left one after another soon.

They must all be killed to ensure that the cause of Chongzhen's death can be freely written by officials in the capital.

Lao Wang looked at Yang Feng...

Lao Wang whispered.

"found it."

In the black ashes, Yang Feng raised his head, then looked around and saw that no one was around, and then stood up.

I definitely can’t hide it now.

The key is that if officials and gentry from all over the country support borrowing troops to suppress the bandits, things will be a little troublesome, and this should be inevitable. They will tacitly agree that Chongzhen has fallen into the water and disappeared, and they cannot even place their hope on Feng Yuanyang in Tianjin. As for the Southern Group, they also support borrowing troops to suppress bandits, and Shi Kefa supports it. Historically, they sent envoys to the capital to negotiate with Gungun. Borrowing troops to suppress bandits is the best option for officials and gentry from all over the Ming Dynasty under the current situation. Excellent solution. Let the rolling army enter the pass, and then fight with Li Zicheng in the north. No matter who wins in the end, the south will be safe at least during this period. Even the Shandong gentry behind Yang Feng also supports it.

he whispered.

It was Chongzhen who gave him the opportunity.

"idiot!"

The main reason for this situation is that he chose to infiltrate for the sake of face. If he directly revealed his identity and took the main road to Tianjin as Yang Feng said, then the other party would not dare to do this. No one should be involved in such things as regicide, so Chongzhen showed his identity as emperor and openly attacked Tianjin. No one would dare to openly intercept and kill him during the day. Pretending to be a thief is not enough, and no thief dares to blatantly kill the king. No matter what the relationship between the gentry in the capital and Chongzhen is now, he is still the emperor recognized by the entire Ming Dynasty. Pretending to be a thief depends on whether others recognize it or not.

Then he climbed up to Chongzhen as quickly as possible. When the latter was confused, he took off his Yishan crown. Yang Feng and Chongzhen looked at him in astonishment. Then Lao Wang suddenly stood up and pulled up a little eunuch at his feet. , slapped the Yi Shan Guan on his head, dragged him and ran away. Their figures were immediately reflected in the firelight. The steel-forked hat on the old Wang's head and the Yishan crown on the young eunuch's head were very conspicuous in the firelight. Some of the assassins who set the fire were immediately recognized...

"Set the woods on fire!"

As long as it's not regicide.

Yang Feng looked at the countless flames downstream and said.

But other provinces were not interested in cooperating with the Gyeonggi gentry.

No one can be left alive.

"Everyone is stupid!"

Yang Feng looked at the dead leaves around him sadly.

There was shouting in confusion.

"Long live the Lord, I'll leave it to you."

There was a sudden scream not far away.

……

The Emperor of Three Hundred Years is not someone who can be killed whenever he wants during the Troubled Times of the Five Dynasties.

This went on for a long time.

Yang Feng looked at Chongzhen and said.

The three people in Chongzhen became trembling with fear.

Yang Feng pressed Chongzhen with one hand and the Zhaoren brothers and sisters with the other, and continued to huddle there.

Of course, that's not the point.

"Damn it, we can't go to Tianjin. We need to stay away from them first. We have to go in a direction they won't think of."

But if he enters the city at night, it is almost impossible to expect him to die unexpectedly.

The result of borrowing troops to suppress bandits is that the Shandong Group can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

So even if we get to Tianjin this time, it's hard to say whether something will happen again.

You can completely deny Chongzhen!
As soon as the news comes out from the capital, His Majesty the Emperor's car encountered ice breakage on the Lugou River, and all of them fell into the river and were washed away by the water. His life and death are unknown at present, but everyone else is dead, and then Lao Wang, who has been following him, is Even after the corpses of Queen Zhou and the prince were released, everyone could completely assume that Chongzhen was dead.

It would be useless if he showed up again.

If necessary, he will be a fake if he shows up again.

Tianjin is not just Feng Yuanyang. Feng Yuanyang’s words in Tianjin don’t count. The one who really has the final say is Yuan Yuzong of Bingbei Dao. Originally in history, it was Yuan Yuzong who led Tianjin’s soldiers and horses to try to capture him and surrender, but he and Cao Youyi, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, ran away. Even if Yang Feng reveals his identity, it will be of no use. People will say that he is a traitor and a monster who intends to usurp the throne, so he deliberately created a false emperor. At most, Shandong and the Huaihai area he controls will recognize him. In short, after experiencing this incident, it is really hard to say whether Chongzhen will be recognized in the future. The key is that the Ming Dynasty and the opposition were unanimous in using troops to suppress the bandits. Even for those officials and gentry, it didn't matter even if the Qing Dynasty was playing magpie's nest and occupying the dove, the Qing army actually surrendered when they went south. It was just that the hair-shaving order touched the bottom line of the gentry, so it triggered a large-scale resistance. Jiangyin did not resist at first. After the fall of Nandu, Jiangyin, like other places, accepted the change of dynasty honestly. It was the hair-cutting order that angered everyone from the gentry to the common people.

In the current chaos of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army was lured into the pass by using troops to suppress the bandits. If the latter could not easily deal with Li Zicheng, the result would be that they would bleed each other and the Ming Dynasty would reap the benefits. If the Qing army could easily solve the problem and abide by the agreement, everyone would be happy. If you don't abide by the agreement, you have no choice but to hold your nose and admit it.

After all, it’s not like I haven’t recognized him before.

The key now is actually that Chongzhen interfered with everyone's affairs.

Of course, Chongzhen could have stayed out of the way originally, but now he can't help it.

He had no choice.

However, Yang Feng actually had to be careful. Once Chongzhen broke away from his control, there was still the possibility of rebellion. His Majesty the Emperor was just afraid of being killed by him. But if Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing, borrowing troops to suppress the bandits would also be the most advantageous option. If you are brave, Some may not rule out doing so.

In short, the next situation is very complicated.

Therefore, Yang Feng had to ensure that Chongzhen would never use troops to suppress the bandits.

and so……

"Your Majesty, we are heading west."

Yang Feng said.

"west?"

Chongzhen looked at him doubtfully.

"Yes, there are traitors everywhere now. Although I don't care, I can't guarantee your safety in the melee. After all, a bullet or an arrow from a distance is enough to kill you. There are traitors hunting for you downstream. , to the south is where the rebels ambush, with the capital behind them and no way to go back, the only choice is to the west. There don't seem to be many people hunting in the west. They know that we won't go west, so the west is the safest, and then we get some Change your clothes and disguise yourself and go south, as long as you can get to Texas, you’ll be safe.”

Yang Feng said.

As he spoke, he picked up the box full of jade seals.

Chongzhen didn't think much about it. There was indeed only the west without much fire, and people were searching in other directions.

Besides, his bachelor Li Jiantai is now in Baoding.

Academician Li should be a loyal minister...

Right?
Since he had no objection, Yang Feng carried the jade seal box in one hand and the Folangji in the other. Chongzhen followed, and Zhaoren supported her brother. This prince should be her biological brother Zhu Cijiong. He should have been hit by a bullet in the leg. He was hit, but it didn't penetrate, but the bullet grazed his leg. With the support of his sister, he could still walk. They walked west along the river bank, encountering the dead bodies of eunuchs and palace maids from time to time, and then returned to the place where they were ambushed before, but it was already full of frozen corpses. They continued westward and found a position to cross the river upstream. , thus completely escaping the pursuit of those assassins.

At dawn, when they arrived at a market town, Yang Feng hid Chongzhen and his family in a woods. Then he climbed over the wall and went in. He borrowed a few sets of clothes from a gentleman's house and borrowed some money.

Of course, I just left an IOU.

The Chongzhen family changed into their clothes, and Yang Feng also put on a t-shirt...

He still likes sweatshirts so much.

In short, a few of them became a scholar, an obvious village sage, and then the remaining two became their servants. They also bought four donkeys nearby, and then they all rode on the donkeys, just like running south. So we arrived in Zhuozhou. They continued southward the next day. When they arrived at Dingxing, the Emperor's Majesty's car was in danger on the Marco Polo River east of Gu'an. The ice broke and the car crashed into the Marco Polo River and his whereabouts were unknown. The news was announced by an urgent messenger on the radio. Moreover, the bodies of Queen Zhou and the Fourth Prince have been found. Of course, they must have been drowned, so they did not escape the assassin's murderous hands after all.

Only then did Yang Feng realize that the person Empress Zhou was running away with was not his own son.

What she brought with her was Concubine Tian’s son.

"This woman..."

Yang Feng felt a chill.

This woman deliberately ran away with Concubine Tian's son, and she was dressed in the queen's fine clothes. She must be the main target. She knew she couldn't escape. A weak person like her would be paralyzed from exhaustion if she couldn't run more than a mile. She must be the main target. There was no possibility of escape, and what she took with her would definitely lead to death. On the contrary, her son and daughter were able to escape because they were inconspicuous in the chaos. However, she did not expect that her son was shot. If Yang Feng hadn't been called over by Zhaoren, both brothers and sisters would have been dead by this time.

This woman is very cunning!

Poor Concubine Tian, ​​she died and was avenged by her.

Of course, it would be difficult for Yang Feng to explain to Princess Kunxing now. After all, she was also the daughter of Queen Zhou.

But it’s not a big deal.

In this state of running for one's life, who can control so much? If it is difficult to explain, then there is no need to do so.

Governor Yang is a married man.

"Your Majesty, leave quickly!"

Yang Feng urged Chongzhen.

Chongzhen looked at the messenger who was shouting and running past.

He snorted with obvious anger.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

His Majesty the Emperor said.

But what surprised Yang Feng was that there was no news that Lao Wang was dead. If Lao Wang was dead, it would definitely be publicized. After all, everyone knew that Lao Wang was serving Chongzhen personally. If there was his dead body, it would be more proof. Chongzhen must be dead too. It is normal to not find the body. It sank into the Lugou River and was carried downstream by the ice. Unless the Lugou River completely thawed in two months, it would not be found at all. Moreover, the Lugou River bifurcates downstream, with one going directly eastward into Sanjiaodian, and the other going south to join the Daqing River, and eventually into Sanjiaidian. Such a long time is enough for him to be swept into the Triangle Lake, so it is even more impossible to find him. After all, this lake is nearly 300 square kilometers. It is also impossible to find him without rushing in. The entire basin is more than 1,000 square kilometers. Who knows where it is? Did that reed bank feed the fish?
So this is actually equivalent to announcing the death of His Majesty the Emperor.

Since there is no announcement that Lao Wang's body has been found, it is very likely that he is still alive, which should be considered good news.

Yang Feng still has some respect for him.

They continued south and arrived in Baoding two days later.

but……

The day after they entered the city, the vanguard of Liu Fangliang's army arrived.

Well, Yang Feng did it on purpose.

He had to send Chongzhen to someone who would ensure that he would not use troops to suppress the bandits.

This person is of course Li Zicheng.

He sold Chongzhen.
