little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 137 Sending a Letter
Looking at Zhu Changluo's back with complicated eyes, Ye He stood on the spot as straight as a sword, motionless.The darkness in the room spread like a tide and gradually engulfed him, as if he had turned into a stone sculpture and clay sculpture.

The words that Zhu Changluo said when he left kept ringing in Ye He's ears: "Don't think wildly, it has nothing to do with you. No matter what happens, our friendship between you and me will remain the same."

But even if he can let go, can he let go?
A certain person once said that his life is like a chess game, that is to say, there is no time to stop.

Ye He has always known that in Zhu Changluo's eyes there are picturesque mountains and rivers, iron horses and golden arms, thousands of miles of grasslands, and white mountains and black waters. Ye He can tell everyone without a doubt that this dynasty will shine for a while because of Zhu Changluo's appearance, His name will live forever in the annals of history.

But these, changed because of one person... Although the person who changed him was not himself, how is it different from himself?

How can he be willing?Ye He's eyes suddenly became sore.

Before he knew it, his teeth bit his lips, and the tip of his tongue already tasted blood.

A long sigh sounded in the quiet darkness.

When Zhu Changluo came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Rusong and others were already present.

There was a person kneeling in the middle of the tent, drenched in water and extremely embarrassed.

After Zhu Changluo sat down, Sun Chengzong stepped forward and said: "A total of more than a dozen people were lowered from the city wall with ropes in the middle of the night, with sharp picks and sharp blades on their backs. of."

Zhu Changluo nodded, then turned to Li Rusong and asked, "Where are those people? Why is he the only one left?"

Li Rusong laughed loudly: "I'm sorry, we are all foodies. We were all shot to death long ago, so we'll leave this one alive. Let's ask carefully."

Hearing the words "huokou", the people kneeling on the ground trembled even more, obviously frightened out of their wits.

Zhu Changluo glanced at him, and said warmly: "What's your name, did you receive orders from Chengen or Liu Dongyang?"

The man raised his head and replied tremblingly, "The younger one's name is Li Deng, and it was General Qi who asked us to destroy the embankment and release the water."

Zhu Changluo lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes like a crescent moon trembled a few times, and said casually: "How is the current situation in the city?"

As it was about military affairs, Li Deng was a little hesitant. Just as he was hesitating to say yes or no, Li Rusong yelled, "Speak! You dare to tell a lie, be careful that the master peeled your skin and lit your sky lantern!"

Although Li Rusong was usually smiling and harmless to humans and animals, when his murderous aura was fully released, it was enough to make anyone feel terrified.

Li Deng has completely collapsed on the ground: "Since the flooding of the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city have been terrified, and everyone slept on the roof at night. A few days ago, the people clashed with the sergeant, and the people asked the sergeant to surrender. The general said..."

When Li Rusong said this, Li Rusong snorted softly, and Li Deng's voice faltered immediately, and he quickly changed his words: "Qi Chengen said that the imperial court has issued the iron coupon, but Prince Rui hid the iron coupon and did not issue it. The people behind the city were killed, and now the big guys are very angry with the officers and soldiers outside the city."

The more Li Deng spoke, the lower his voice became, until finally his whole body shook like a sieve.One heart goes up and down, just thinking about one's own life.

Zhu Changluo smiled, and Bixue turned his cold eyes around him.Li Deng lowered his head and didn't realize it, but the generals in the tent were terrified by this gaze, and watched with bated breath how Zhu Changluo fell on Li Deng.

This little prince has become more and more powerful since he was stationed in the army. First, he dismissed Wei Xuezeng vigorously, and then calmly seized all the military power. If you say that these are just relying on his special status to suppress everyone, you have to accept it. Today, the little prince said that he has a deep understanding of military affairs, and has deployed troops several times. Attacks are considered unprepared, and changes are unexpected.

All kinds of maneuvers among them are not much better than any veteran who has led the army for decades, and these alone are enough to make these rebellious commander-in-chiefs die in admiration.In just a few days, from awe to respect, and from respect to respect, the attitude of these general soldiers towards Zhu Changluo has changed from quality to quantity, and the change can be described as leaps and bounds.

Li Deng originally thought he was going to die, but Tianling Gaili had already opened his mouth, and two of the three souls left, and he collapsed on the ground waiting to die.But suddenly Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "I won't kill you, and you don't have to go back to the city. Would you like to stay here?"

Li Rusong didn't hold back, turned his head to Zhu Changluo and said in a low voice: "My lord, isn't this appropriate?"

The hearts of all the adults present in the tent twitched again, and they all looked sideways...

The arrogance and domineering of Li Rusong is well known, but even he is so respectful to this little prince?
Zhu Changluo smiled and gave Li Rusong a look, signaling him to be quiet and not to read the rest of the story.

No matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that this would be the result. Li Deng seemed to be overjoyed for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, with tears streaming down his eyes: "Young Lord, thank you for not killing the elder brother!" Well, please ask the prince to kill the little one."

The military supervisor Mei Guozhen said angrily: "My lord, you dare to refuse your good intentions. Do you really think that we dare not kill you?"

Li Deng burst into tears with snot and tears all over his face, "It's not that the young one doesn't know what to do, but that the young one has family members in the city. If the young one dies, that's fine. If the young one stays in Mingying Tomorrow, my old mother and brothers will be thrown under the city. The young ones are afraid of dying, but they would rather die by themselves than implicate my old mother."

Actually caught a dutiful son... Several adults in the tent looked at each other, unable to smile wryly.

Zhu Changluo showed a smile: "Since that's the case, if I think of a way to let you go back and keep you alive, okay?"

"Really, thank you, my lord, for not killing me." Li Deng was overjoyed, and kowtowed repeatedly, his face filled with joy.

Mei Guozhen rolled his eyes on Zhu Changluo's face a few times, and suddenly he snorted coldly and said, "Don't agree to it! If you don't do what the prince said, even if you let you go back, you will have no way of life. I'm dead, but let you go back, you think about what Chengen will think of you, when your life is in danger, your old mother will still have to follow your bad luck."

As expected of Mr. Mei, who was born as a censor, Li Deng was stunned by his hard-spoken words.

Just thinking about the good things about going back, I really didn't expect so much, let Mei Guozhen say this, I don't know what this little prince will arrange for himself, if he can't do it, wouldn't it be a dead end if he goes back?A pot of cold water poured down on my heart, and I stood there alone, as if I was stupid.

"Save people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. It's not difficult, there is only one thing, just keep your mouth shut." I stared at Mei Guozhen, and had to admire this old guy's ability to steer the wind. , turned to Li Deng and said, "As long as you send me a letter to Bai Bai, I guarantee that not only will he not kill you, but he will even reward you. How about that?"

Li Deng raised his head in a daze, with an expression of disbelief.

There is one letter and two oral letters.

Li Deng took the ten taels of silver that Zhu Changluo gave him, and he called and went back to the city happily.

After returning to the city, all the soldiers were amazed that he was able to escape from the dead, and surrounded him for a while, asking questions incessantly.

Li Deng was also unambiguous, and according to Zhu Changluo's previous teaching: "Brothers, we are saved! Prince Rui asked me to convey a message to everyone. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty mainly focus on appeasement, so that the big guys in the city don't listen to other people's lies. They are citizens of Daming, the prince said that as long as we surrender, the imperial court will forget the past, and Prince Rui is willing to bear the losses caused by the flooding, not only helping to repair houses, but also giving money and food, in short, we will definitely not let everyone suffer That's it."

In the middle of the war, people's minds are calm, let alone in the desperate situation where the city is flooded and precarious.

Even if there is a little bit of hope, it is a bright light in the darkness.

Li Deng's words spread across the streets and alleys of Ningxia City in an instant.

The people who thought they would surely die once again had hope in front of their eyes. For a while, the people's sentiments were boiling, and they all flocked to the governor's mansion, demanding that the gate of the city be opened quickly to surrender.

By the time Qian Chengen got the news and ordered Li Deng to be brought back to the mansion for questioning, it was too late to stop him, and the scheme of blaming him so painstakingly thought up by Qiang Chengen was completely useless.

Listening to the cries of the common people outside, Kui Bai and Kui Chengen looked at each other with the same extremely ugly expressions.

Li Deng knelt on the ground, frowning and reading the letter he brought back.

The letter was written by Prince Rui Zhu Changluo himself, and the content is very simple, just a few words: "Since returning to the imperial court, the general and his son have guarded the frontiers for the imperial court, and made dozens of meritorious service. The crime caused by the military pay is Dang Xin, and it was Han general Liu Dongyang who killed Dang Xin, why bother to treat others, as long as he can kill Liu Dongyang, he can atone for his crime." The following uses King Rui Jinbao, and it is stamped with the seal of the three governors.

Just this letter has enough weight, and my heart is pounding!

Turn it over and read it three times, and then hand it over to Chengen.

After Qiao Chengen finished reading, he didn't speak for a while.

At this moment, Tu Wenxiu rushed in, sweat dripping down his face in the winter.

The distraught Qiao Chengen yelled angrily: "What's wrong with you, what happened?"

The terrified Tu Wenxiu didn't care to look at his face, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, hurry up and think of a way, seeing that many people are already attacking the four gate guards, if this continues, we will soon be unable to defend." gone."

Cheng En suddenly stood up with a bang, with blood in his eyes, "Damn it, everyone wants to rebel?" Suddenly he asked harshly, "What is Liu Dongyang doing?"

Tu Wenxiu showed disdain, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "General Liu has a gloomy face every day, and I don't know what he is planning."

Yan Chengen's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand and drew out his long knife: "Let's go! I want to see what these people want to do."

"Stop!" Xiao Bai broke his shout, and the footsteps of Xiao Chengen stopped suddenly.

Qiao Bai's expression remained unchanged, he turned to Tu Wenxiu and said, "Go out and tell the people, just say what I said, and the city will be surrendered in three days. Let them settle down, and if there are any more instigators, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Ah?" Tu Wenxiu couldn't believe her ears, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and stared blankly at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Chengen was also startled, and asked subconsciously: "Are we... really going to surrender?"

Qiao Bai gave him a hard look, then turned to Li Deng and said, "Go to the account room and get 20 taels of silver so that you can live and rest. Come early tomorrow. I have something to talk to you about in Mingying."

Although he knelt in fear for a long time, he still had the money as the prince had said. Li Deng responded happily, stood up and walked away.He walked in a hurry, and he really had to be in a hurry, because there were still two rewards waiting for him.

As expected, what Prince Rui said was right, Li Dengxi almost didn't know why.

After dismissing Li Deng, Bai Bai turned his head and shouted at Tu Wenxiu: "Don't go down and appease the people as I said, do you have to stir up a civil uprising to be the end of the matter?"

Only then did Tu Wenxiu come back to her senses, she quickly responded, and trotted out.

Now there are only father and son left in the study, and they don't have any scruples about speaking.Qiao Chengen said anxiously with red eyes: "Ama, are you really going to surrender?"

Xiaobai sneered, and patted the letter paper on the desk, "With Prince Rui's letter, it doesn't matter if you surrender."

Qiao Chengen took a deep breath, although he was unwilling, but he couldn't help being soft when the matter was at hand.Rescue is nowhere in sight, the flood outside the city is overwhelming, and the people inside the city are in turmoil. The situation is already extremely bad. No matter which kind of situation breaks out, it will be completely useless to oneself.

Suddenly he sighed, raised his knife and walked out.Qiao Bai shouted anxiously: "Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you want to surrender?" Cheng En said in a low voice, "I'm going to kill Liu Dongyang!"

"Get back!" Qiao Bai was so angry that his eyes turned black. He was not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. He really didn't know what to do with his son like a pig. It would be great if Xiao Yun was here...

Why is he so anxious to kill Liu Dongyang? The worry in Bai Bai's heart is that the little prince really wants to let him go?Or are you planning to let yourself kill each other?The sly smile at the corner of Prince Rui's mouth appeared again in his mind, and Bai Bai shook his head lightly, he didn't really believe it, and he didn't dare to believe it, everything will have to be tried tomorrow.

At this time, Li Deng had already arrived at Liu Dongyang's residence, because what Zhu Changluo sent to Liu Dongyang was just a message, and it was also just a few words. "The general is a Han minister. Why bother to follow others to rebel and take the blame for others. The court has already found out that killing the party is only a matter of worship. The general can return to the court as long as he kills the rebel party."

After giving Li Deng ten taels of silver and sending him away, Liu Dongyang was in a daze for a long time alone, his face was cloudy and cloudy, and suddenly he slapped the table with his palm and shouted: "Fuck, I've had enough! Love!" So-and-so, I won't serve you!"

The city of Ningxia is doomed to be turbulent this night, and no one can rest in peace.

The people received the letter of accepting the surrender tomorrow, and they all wished to burn incense and sacrifice to the heavens, so as to end the suffering of the war as soon as possible.

The lights in the study in the Xiaofu were brightly lit and kept on all night.

Liu Dongyang in Liu's mansion held the handle of the knife in his hand, and kept turning around like a revolving lantern.

Everyone was worried about me, but Li Deng was walking towards another person's house with a happy face.

Because he still has one last message to deliver.
