Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 717 Mountain King vs. Emperor (4)

Yao Qisheng was defeated and ran away, but Li Zicheng did not catch up.He knew that his plan to lure the enemy had failed.At this time, he heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, and hurriedly dodged the arrow.

However, this was Li Zicheng's false move. Immediately after a sharp arrow came through the air, Yao Qisheng realized that he had been fooled by Li Zicheng, but it was impossible to avoid the arrow.

In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind: It's over, this will definitely kill him.I didn't expect that I would die under Li Zicheng's arrow, and I was really unwilling to fight against the Ming emperor Zhu Yousong in person.At this time, he had a kind of regret that he couldn't die.

There was a sound of metal impact, and he thought that the sharp arrow must have pierced through the armor, and he would either die or be injured.

However, he didn't feel any discomfort. There was no abnormality in his arms, legs, facial features, or any part of his body, let alone pain.Is this the instant feeling of death that everyone dreads?
But when he saw clearly what was happening in front of him, he was stupid. He was not injured in any way, and two sharp arrows were scattered in front of the horse.

Look at Li Zicheng behind him, holding an empty bow, not only him, but also Zhu Yousong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, who is holding an empty bow in his hand at this time!

Obviously, this sharp arrow missed him, and the reason why it missed him could never be Li Zicheng's inaccurate arrow skills. General martial arts, must be proficient in everything.At this time, we are less than 50 meters apart, how could we miss it?

The reason must be on the other arrow.There is only one explanation, the arrow that shot at him was shot down by the second arrow, and the person who shot the second arrow to save him was the Ming Emperor Zhu Yousong.

But how is this possible?How could Emperor Zhu Yousong of the Ming Dynasty save himself?He is the king of the mountain, and he is the emperor of a country, and his situation is like water and fire.It only makes sense that he should want to catch himself shattered.

Besides, being able to shoot down the arrows flying towards him, does this Emperor Hongguang really have such an ability?But the facts speak louder than words. Everything he witnessed proves that these impossibilities have become ironclad facts.

So Yao Qisheng was stupid there.

At this moment, Yao Qisheng was not the only one who was stupid there, but everyone present, including the minion soldiers on the mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army, and of course Li Zicheng.

At the beginning, they all thought that Yao Qisheng must be doomed this time, but they didn't expect to see Li Zicheng's arrow hit Yao Qisheng's back, and another arrow flew there, just to shoot this arrow down. When the arrow came from Zhu Yousong's hand, they were all dumbfounded.

At this time, they were not surprised by Zhu Yousong's superb archery skills, but were puzzled by their majesty's strange behavior.

From the bottom of my heart, what's the matter, Your Majesty?Why did you take action to save the bandit from death at the critical moment?If His Majesty took action, he should help Li Zicheng kill the bandit, how did he help the bandit?It's incredible.

At this time, Zhu Yousong was very happy, and of course he set the arrow.He could see the situation on the battlefield more clearly than anyone else.At the beginning, he saw that the two killed each other, and it was hard to tell which was the best match.I am very happy in my heart, Yao Qisheng is really a tiger general!

Zhu Yousong cherished his martial arts more and more. It is really rare for someone to be able to draw with Li Zicheng.Later, he saw that Li Zicheng's martial arts were slightly higher than Yao Qisheng's. Li Zicheng wanted to use a unique move. Of course, Zhu Yousong knew that his move was powerful, so he raised his vigilance and was ready to stop at any time.He did it for Yao Qisheng this time, so of course Li Zicheng couldn't hurt him.

Unexpectedly, at this time Yao Qisheng was not an idler, he deliberately lost, luring Li Zicheng to chase him, intending to win the defeat, Zhu Yousong felt that the two of them fought more and more interestingly, and couldn't bear to interrupt them.

But Li Zicheng saw it right away and was not fooled by Yao Qisheng. Instead of chasing him, Li Zicheng put away his broadsword and short sword and took out his bow and arrow. When Zhu Yousong praised Li Zicheng for his quick response, he wanted to stop the arrow.

He was afraid that Li Zicheng would shoot Yao Qisheng under the horse with one arrow, and then his trip would be in vain.But if it is called to stop at this time, it is too early, because the two did not distinguish between high and low.

Zhu Yousong had an idea, and took out his own bow and arrow. At this time, everyone was watching this wonderful fight, and no one paid attention to him.

Zhu Yousong drew his bow and set an arrow, aimed at Li Zicheng's arrow, and gently pulled the bow away.

Seeing Li Zicheng pull the bowstring in vain, and then shoot the arrow, knowing that Yao Qisheng's arrow would be impossible for him to dodge, Zhu Yousong shot the arrow in time.

The arrow was so accurate that it just shot down Li Zicheng's arrow.

Zhu Yousong was very satisfied with his own arrow. It was unbelievable for him to see that Zhang Huan was able to shoot down other people's arrows.

I didn't expect that I can do this now that my archery skills are advancing by leaps and bounds. It's no big deal to shoot down the arrows shot by others!

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Zhu Yousong summoned Li Zicheng back to the formation, and he personally raised his horse and came to Yao Qisheng.

At this time, Yao Qisheng was still a little shocked and unbelievable.

"Do you know why I want to save you?"

Yao Qisheng really didn't know!

"To tell you the truth, I have heard about you for a long time. I know that you have no choice but to become a bandit. You are not a bad person in your bones. You are a chivalrous young man, versatile in both civil and military affairs, and you are the first in the provincial examination, but you have a righteous heart for the country and the people." , Heroes have no place to show their talents, so they gathered in the mountains and forests to fight against the court and the government. Although you have committed an unforgivable crime, I cherish you as a talent. Would you like to?"

Yao Qisheng's heart was warmed by Zhu Yousong's words, but he was very puzzled.How does His Majesty know so much about himself?But this is not important.Can His Majesty really absolve himself of all guilt with one sentence?
To do things for the imperial court and serve the Ming Dynasty, isn't this what I dream of?The emperor is so loving, and Long En is so mighty. It seems that Hongguang Dadi is well-deserved. What is there to say?
As for wanting to make two gestures with Zhu Yousong himself, that would be too presumptuous. Zhu Yousong's arrow just now had already convinced him, and he was impressed by it.

So Yao Qisheng kicked off the saddle, jumped off the horse, knelt down in front of Zhu Yousong's horse, and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for saving your life, I, Yao Qisheng, deserve death for my sin, and I am willing to accept the trick, take my sins and make meritorious service, and I am willing to serve your majesty. In fact, I will die!"

Yao Qisheng kowtowed as he spoke...
