Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 123 Li Chengdong Arrested
No matter how complicated Li Chengdong is, no matter how good at repeating, he will not listen to Jiang Cheng's words and surrender, because after Fengyang's feigned surrender, he has already realized that the current emperor is not only a benevolent emperor through the ages, but also an unprecedented ruthless character .If he went back and knelt down and begged for surrender again, the emperor would have to scrape him alive one by one.

So Li Chengdong gritted his teeth and scolded: "Beast! Sure enough, he became the eagle dog of the faint king. I came to ask you, where is my brother Li Chengliang?"

Jiang Chengyile, "Oh, that guy, he is just as ignorant of current affairs as the master, and he doesn't listen to people's persuasion. In the end, do you still want me to talk? He lost his head!"

"Ah..." Li Chengdong's eyes were so dark that he was almost cut off from his horse in pain. After all, he crawled out of a mother's belly. Now that Yin and Yang are separated, Jiang Cheng shouted, "Come on, take these two Take down the rebellious ministers and thieves!" All the generals promised to rush up, each holding a sharp knife.

Li Chengdong didn't care about hurting his brother anymore, he swung his big knife round and cut several of them over in the blink of an eye. At this time, Wang Zhi knew what was going on, and he followed the rushing soldiers to death.How could he be average in martial arts, and he didn't have a handy horse, how could he cope with the situation in front of him riding a ragged horse that had never been on a battlefield, so he was quickly chopped off by the horse.

At this time, Zu Hai, who was ambushing at the gate of the city, rushed out with his men and horses. How could Li Chengdong dare to fight and kill a bloody road to escape? After running for a few miles, Li Chengdong was suddenly cut off from the horse. When Jiang Cheng and Zu Hai led people to arrive, they only found a dead horse that had been shot and fell to the ground, and Li Chengdong was nowhere to be seen.

Zu Hai and Jiang Cheng yelled: "Come on, surround this forest and search for me. If you dig three feet, you will find Li Chengdong!"

As a result, Zu Hai and Jiang Cheng talked too much. Let alone digging the ground three feet, even if they dug the earth thoroughly, they still couldn't find Li Chengdong. After searching the surrounding forest six times, there was no sign of Li Chengdong. After two hours, they had no choice but to chase in another direction.

At this time Li Chengdong was hiding on a tall tree. It turned out that after his horse fell to the ground with an arrow, Li Chengdong got off the horse and went into the ravine. Then he climbed out of the ravine and heard the pursuers coming. After leaving this tall tree, Zu Hai and Jiang Cheng's men passed by the tree four times, but they didn't look up, so Li Chengdong was safe and sound hiding in the tall tree canopy.

But despite this, after Zu Hai and Jiang Cheng withdrew their troops, Li Chengdong was sweating all over his body. He waited until it was dark before Li Chengdong slid down from a tree several feet high. As soon as he relaxed, he sat on the ground leaning against the tree trunk to get up. When I came, I felt pain all over my body, my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, and there was an extra bump on my forehead, which was the size of a jujube when I touched it with my hand, and it was hot and painful when I felt it soaked in sweat.

Looking up again, the trees here are all tall and slender, but behind him is a thick and tall tree, so thick and tall, he suspects that he just flew up, and he has to lament that people are desperate When you are helpless, you will always inadvertently do something that even you can hardly believe.

He moved his arms and legs, and they were still in control. He was glad that there were no major problems in cutting them off on the galloping horse. When he limped out of the forest, Li Chengdong had to tremble again: "Damn, stupid king!" It's cruel enough to set up a game for Lao Tzu here, but what a pity, I, Li Chengdong, live forever!"

Thinking of his brother Li Chengliang, Li Chengdong even wiped away two tears, secretly gritted his teeth and chewed on several hateful names. Li Chengdong, who is the general soldier of Xuzhou, is certainly no stranger to this area. walking in the dark...

Two days later, he appeared in the mountains and forests in the southeast of Guide. Of course he did not dare to enter Guide City, even though he knew that Guide was under the rule of Xu Dingguo, that is to say, this was also the one-acre land of their uncle Gao Jie. But he has always been at odds with Xu Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of Suizhou, and he knew that Lu Jiude, the emperor's most powerful eunuch, was in Henan to supervise his division, so he didn't dare to set foot in it easily.

However, he is not well-informed. If Li Chengdong knew that Xu Guoding had been arrested more than a month ago by Zhu Yousong's trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, Henan had changed commanders, and the troops in Guide, Suizhou and other places, including Kaifeng, Became the emperor's diehard loyalist, Li Chengdong would never have come here because of his cunning.

His goal, of course, is to go to Shandong to join the Tartars. Now he has become a real bare-bones commander. He has lost all his soldiers, and it is impossible to occupy the mountain as king. After much deliberation, he can only clear one way He left, but he was not pessimistic. He firmly believed that if there was no foster father in this place, there would be a place to adopt him. With his ability to be civilized and military, he would still be able to make a living with the Tartars, and then There is a chance for revenge.

But he didn't dare to go directly north into the Shandong border, because the search for him near Xuzhou must be very powerful now, so he changed to the northwest, entered Henan and then went east, and came to a curve.

It should be said that Li Chengdong's IQ is very high, and he has strong anti-investigation and anti-arrest capabilities, but what he never dreamed of was that his emperor Zhu Yousong had already cut off this return route for him more than a month ago. up.

He hid in the dark mountain forest and looked towards the opposite side. The place where the lights flickered in the distance should be the camp of the Qing Tartars. The leader of the army, the second did not submit a certificate, so if he can turn the straw into a gold bar with two mouths, I am afraid that the Qing Tartars will have to arrest him as a spy and behead him.

At this moment, a few black shadows came from behind, holding torches, they had already spotted him, and came to surround him.

At the beginning, Li Chengdong calmed himself down. Although he found that all the people who came were soldiers, there were only a dozen or so people on the other side. With his martial arts skills, he could raise a few heads in exchange for the trust of the Tartars. I was wrong.

Two or three miles away from here is Shiqiao Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Guide. More than a month ago, Lu Jiude was ordered by Zhu Yousong to supervise Henan, expand troops, and build a defense line. Now the Qing army has occupied Shandong. Lu Jiude and Yuan Shu led troops to guard the border, and the new governor of Henan, Chen Qianfu, was in charge of recruiting troops. There are recruiting points everywhere in Kaifeng, Suizhou, and Guide. Each recruiting point depends on the geographical location. Some stationed in a thousand households, some stationed in a hundred households, and even stationed a guard in a more important town. The duties of these soldiers were not only to recruit soldiers, but also to prevent the soldiers and civilians of the court from fleeing to the Qing camp as traitors. He was immediately arrested and questioned.This is also Zhu Yousong's will.

A few days ago, a guerrilla general came to the town. Under the order of Chen Qianfu, the governor of Henan Province, he led more than 1000 people to plant a banner of recruiting troops here. Because this place is closer to the Qing camp, the guerrilla general must send troops nearby patrol.

Tonight, a banner leader brought ten brothers to patrol here and happened to find Li Chengdong.

At the beginning, these people didn't recognize that the unexpected guest in front of them was the famous Li Chengdong, but after a fight, four or five were knocked down quickly, and the flag leader knew that this person had some background, so he took the rest of the people to wipe their heads and ran away.

Li Chengdong didn't chase after him, he cut off a few heads and tied them together and walked away. He had just walked out less than 200 meters, and the people behind shouted and a team rushed over and surrounded him.

Although Li Chengdong has a few tricks, if he has no horse, no big sword, but only a short blade, he can deal with dozens of people, but when facing hundreds of soldiers, he has no choice but to catch him without a fight.

A few days later, Lu Jiude, the supervisor of Henan Province, escorted Li Chengdong, who was dressed in prison uniform and loaded into a prison van, into Fengyang City.

When Lu Jiude knelt down on the ground and reported the deployment and recruitment of troops in Kaifeng, Suizhou and other places, as well as the process of arresting Li Chengdong, Zhu Yousong couldn't help laughing, "I'm about to pass on you, well done, well done Hurrah!"
