Saving the Ming Dynasty: I can exchange bodies with Chongzhen

Chapter 146 Betrayal? Escape?

"You ran away, but could you escape?"

Zhu Changgan stepped back suddenly. Suddenly, many people rushed out from behind him. Although they were all wearing refugees' clothes, their eyes were shining and their blood was surging, which was obviously not something that those who had not had food for years could possess.

Red Lady's iron spear poured down like a flood.
Ding ding~~Dang...Boom...

Metal clashed, the spear was like a shadow, sweeping away everything around like a tide.

The tables and chairs in the study fell apart when they were touched, and wood chips flew everywhere.

The fire, teapot, boiling water, and flying charcoal were thrown into the air and stabbed at each other.

With a "bang", Zhu Changgan was hidden behind him, and a red figure was blocked again. It was Hong Niangzi.

In just a short moment, Zhu Changgan had no time to react, and the two sides had already fought several times.

In the school, blood, mess, dust... were intertwined.

Two people on Zhu Changgan's side were injured. One of them had a cut on his arm, and the other was hit on the back and a piece of flesh fell off.

"Who...are you?" Hong Niang looked at the people in front of her with gritted teeth, and then looked at Zhu Changgan, "Is this what you rely on? Or are you a spy for the court?"

Her eyes were red, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, and her gaze was captivating.

His martial arts skills were not top-notch, but they were definitely in the first echelon. In the past, when he attacked Qi County, and even when the government troops attacked the mountain last time, no one could stop him.

But now these people in front of her can actually stop her. She definitely wouldn't believe it if the other party didn't follow her.

These people are certainly not without any connections, but are from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The people arranged by Zhu Changgan half a month ago had already been in place a few days ago and had contacted Chongzhen and Zhu Changgan, otherwise he would not have confronted Hong Niangzi like this.

A captain of the Imperial Guards looked at Zhu Changgan and saw that he was not injured. "Take the prince away."

Lady Hong stared at Zhu Changgan intently, "Don't leave. Explain this matter to me clearly."

"Ask yourself, have I treated you unfairly? Why did you become a spy? You always say you want to build a fair and democratic world, but you let the government troops come to encircle and suppress us. What kind of man are you?"

Hongniangzi's words were as sharp as a knife. She asked sharply, her face pale, "Ah~ Stay here."

A long leg kicked the ground like an explosion, and rushed towards Zhu Changgan like a cannonball. The long spear pointed at her and blew away several burly men who were besieging her.

A captain of the Jinyiwei was knocked flying and fell to the ground with a thud, coughing up blood.

The fighting in real life is nothing like the martial arts movies in movies and TV dramas. The winner is decided with just one move.

Kung Fu is a killing skill, which can often determine life or death with just one knife or one sword. The spear in Hong Niangzi's hand has limitations in this narrow space. In addition, the people in front of her are all experts from the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so she is not at an advantage.

She was as swift as a swallow, dodging and moving swiftly, but she was still a little embarrassed under the attack of so many people.

After only a few fights, Hongniang's dress was already covered with bloodstains.

But she didn't care at all, and kept charging forward with her spear like a dragon, trying to catch Zhu Changgan. However, there was obstruction from the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang people, and she tried several times but always failed.

On one occasion, the tip of Hongniangzi's spear pierced through the shoulder of an Eastern Depot officer and stabbed towards Zhu Changgan's back, but was deflected by a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and hit a beam, sending wood chips flying.

The conflict that suddenly broke out at the school had been seen by everyone in the stronghold. The second in command, the third in command, the fourth in command, Li Yan and others rushed over here, but before they arrived, they all looked outside the stronghold.

now,

Suddenly, there was a loud noise of drums in the village.

"The government troops are attacking the mountain."

"The government troops are attacking the mountain..."

The torches outside the village illuminated the entire village as bright as day. Arrows kept falling on the ground, and even two arrows fell outside the school.

There were only more than a thousand people in the Jinyiwei and Dongchang. In order to be absolutely sure, they contacted the government troops early. With the imperial edict, the local officers and soldiers naturally did not dare to be negligent, so they directly sent 5,000 government troops to provide support.

……

Within the school,

A string of javelin darts were knocked away by a spear, but one of the darts still hit Hongniang's arm, leaving a flash of blood.

But at this time, Hongniang also pierced the arm of a captain of the Jinyiwei, and blood was flowing.

Then, a big Jinyiwei man holding a ring-handled sword, with the sword flashing like a silver plate, flew around her at the foot of the mountain, forcing her to retreat.

Zhu Changgan retreated under the cover of two Dongchang soldiers. He turned his head and looked at Hong Niangzi who was still fighting desperately. "You can see that these people are not the crooked ones of the local official army. So if you want to save yourself, you'd better take them away as soon as possible... If I don't get out, I'm afraid these people will not give up."

"As for the issue of spies you mentioned, I can tell you that I have no idea. The previous attacks on the mountain had nothing to do with me."

"Let me go, and these people sent by the court will escort me away, and your losses will be minimized..."

Hongniang's chest was heaving. The blood spots on her face were not hers, but they made her look even more heroic. "But I just don't want you to leave. Don't forget, we've been married before..."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

In particular, the captain of the Imperial Guard looked at Zhu Changgan with some hesitation, "Prince, are you serious?"

"Whether it's true or not, don't worry about it. Just complete your task and I'll explain the rest..."

The captain of the Jinyiwei couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

Yes, I am only here to complete the mission assigned by His Majesty. As for whether this person is a traitor or a hero after being rescued, it is not my concern.

"Essay? Explain..." Lady Hong was a little confused, "Were these people sent by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Her intelligence was undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment. She guessed the identities of these people just from a few words of conversation and their skills.

But this also tightened her neck like a rope, and she felt like she was being pressed into water and couldn't breathe.

To retain?

How can he be retained? His relationship with the Ming court is so close that even if they have been married, they can no longer live under the same roof as before.

In just a moment, Zhu Changgan had already disappeared into darkness under the protection of the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Hongniang wanted to continue chasing, but suddenly found that the other party threw out several packages. She slapped them away, but then a huge flame shot up into the sky.

Flames shot up into the sky and air currents exploded, blowing Red Lady's figure away. Even though she reacted quickly, she was still pushed several feet away.

When she came to her senses, her ears were still buzzing and she felt a little dizzy. She looked at where Zhu Changgan was, but he was nowhere to be found. Grenade!

Moreover, the grenade is made of granular gunpowder, which is a must-have for the Jinyiwei and Dongchang nowadays.

Just as she was about to continue chasing the other party, another black object was thrown at her. She shot it away with a gun, and flames rose in the air, illuminating the entire village.

A man who was almost as big as a ball ran over and said, "Boss, retreat quickly, the government troops are coming."

It was the Third Chief, and with him was the Second Chief, as well as several other people from the village. "There are many more people coming this time than last time..."

When Hongniang turned her head, she suddenly realized that the village had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the figure she had been looking for disappeared. At this moment, a silent stubbornness struggled in her eyes for a few times, and it seemed that it had finally lost its strength.

The corners of her eyes were red, and the burning flames jumped and flickered in her crystal eyes, with an unforgettable beauty.

The pale and cracked lips moved as if speaking.

The sound was like ripples on the lake, no one could hear it.

"You...stay here, stay..."

Unfortunately, the other party can no longer hear me.

……

Hong Niangzi was stunned for a long time before she finally came to her senses. Looking at the dead and wounded people in the village, she said with difficulty: "Retreat!"

She raised the iron spear in her hand, rushed out in anger, and was extremely fierce. She knocked a soldier who was blocking the way in front of her away. Blood and mud appeared everywhere, as if she wanted to vent all her strength.

His eyes were fierce and murderous, and then his gun shot out like a dragon, nailing another soldier to the tree with one shot.

"Everyone follow me!"

"Follow the boss..."

"Quick, follow up!"

Then he led his men to break out in the southeast direction.

As the Jinyiwei and Dongchang troops withdrew, the few local government troops that were left also stopped sparsely. After all, it was night, and night blindness was not only common among these bandits, but was also common among the government troops.

……

The stars were dim and the moon was like a hook. When the people from the village rushed out of Siwang Mountain, the third leader led his people to check and reported to Hong Niangzi:

"Boss, although there are many government troops this time, we didn't lose too many people..."

When the Third Master was talking to Lady Hong about this, there was a relaxed smile on his face, but he saw that the other party's teeth were clenched, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were staring at him coldly.

He didn't dare to continue, "Boss..."

"It was you who asked Chang Wu to go to Xiangyang to investigate, right?"

"I……"

Hong Niangzi suddenly approached him, and the third boss's face turned green, "I didn't expect that the son-in-law is... is..."

Before he could finish his words, the iron spear stabbed forward.

"If it weren't for you, how could this have happened? It's all your fault..." Hong Niang rushed out angrily, using her strength to the limit. The third in command quickly lowered his head and dodged.

But just as he dodged the stab, the spear was swung towards him. He had no weapon in his hands, so he naturally did not dare to take it with his bare hands. He was so scared that he quickly lay on the ground, but the spear still hit his back.

"Thorn..."

The clothes and flesh were torn to pieces.

"Ouch~"

The Third In Command was so scared that he turned around and ran, but the gun hit his calf and knocked him to the ground. He was then kicked by Hong Niangzi and flew out into the bushes.

"I told you a long time ago to find out his identity before getting married, but you insisted on getting married first and then going to Xiangyang to find out his identity. Now, you've got married and found out his identity, but he...he's gone. What do you want me to do? What should I do?"

Hongniang was angry, depressed, and sad as she cursed at the Third In Command.

The Third Boss stood up, his face as red as the bottom of a pot, after being beaten, but he lowered his head, "It's my fault, the First Boss beat me well, as long as the First Boss feels better, even if I'm beaten to death, that's fine."

He knew that in the whole thing, Hong Niangzi had suffered the greatest hurt, and she needed an outlet to vent.

But Hongniang did not hit him. She slammed the spear into the ground. Her eyes were crystal clear and her whole body seemed to be trembling.

Of course, this matter cannot be blamed solely on the third in command. After all, after rescuing Li Yan, what happened afterwards surprised the people in the village.

The people, led by the Third Master, thought that a single man and a single woman were living together in the same room, so they arranged a marriage and then investigated the other party's identity...

Hong Niangzi did not agree, but the attack on Zhu Yonggan's father by the crowd made Hong Niangzi realize that if she did not agree, this group of ignorant and rough people might do something even more outrageous, which led to the subsequent coincidences.

But the Third Master had never expected that his son-in-law was actually from the imperial court, and even from the royal family...

"If he leaves, then he leaves..." Hong Niangzi was stunned for a long time, and finally moved her lips, taking a breath with difficulty, "With his status, even if he doesn't leave now, he will leave eventually."

She looked towards the north, the direction where Zhu Changgan disappeared, and murmured, "Different paths mean different things. We can't make plans together. We go our way, and he goes his bridge.

If I meet him next time, I will kill him without mercy."

Li Yan was standing behind everyone at this time, without saying a word, because it was because of him that Zhu Changgan and Hong Niangzi got together.

It can be said that he is half responsible for this incident.

The only thing is that he still doesn't know what Zhu Yonggan's identity is. After Chang Wu came back, he only met Hong Niangzi and the Third Dangjia.

After a while, the fourth boss stepped forward and asked, "Where should we go next?"

Yes, this is the most important thing. From Qi County to Siwang Mountain, they were chased by government troops all the way and were attacked several times, resulting in heavy casualties.

Especially since something like this has happened, so where to go next is crucial.

Hongniangzi's eyes flickered. "Go southeast, to Nanzhili, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The war in the north is intense and the government troops are dense. Let's go southeast."
