Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 92 Li Yan, who is behind you?

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Ma Ke led a team of one hundred servants into the barracks of the Red Lady Department.

It is absolutely false to say that Ma Ke was not vigilant in having a banquet in other people's barracks.

But he is not suspicious.

He has returned to Dashun, and now he has made great contributions, and there are still nearly [-] soldiers under his command.

In addition, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi have good reputations in the army.

Right now, Dashun is employing people again.

He really didn't think his going to the banquet would be in danger—unless Li Yan and Hong Niangzi lost their minds.

Walking into the barracks, he and his trusted lieutenants observed carefully, and saw that there was a sense of life in the Red Lady camp, and the soldiers were doing what they were supposed to do, and there was nothing unusual, so they were completely relieved.

When they arrived at the Chinese army tent, most of the servants brought by Ma Ke were arranged to have a banquet outside the tent, and only a few generals followed him into the tent.

Among the Hongniangzi army and the banquet, there were no more than Li Yan, Hongniangzi and the five captains under their command.

Because the camp had sufficient food, grass and other supplies, Hong Niangzi had prepared quite a sumptuous banquet, including pork, mutton, chicken, duck, and fish, but beef was missing, and wine was also served on the altar.

Halfway through the banquet, Ma Ke and the others felt that they had drunk their wine to their heart's content.

However, most soldiers in the army have a capacity for alcohol, and no one is drunk, but only a little tipsy.

After toasting Ma Ke again, Li Yan asked, "I don't know what Uncle Huaiyuan thinks is going on in the world today?"

Ma Ke heard the words and said with a smile: "Although Ma is a martial artist, he also knows that since Emperor Dashun has established the capital and occupied the north, it is only a matter of time before he can rule the world."

Li Yan asked again: "Uncle Huaiyuan thinks Dashun can stop Jiannu?"

This time Ma Ke was slightly silent before saying: "Although Jian Nu is powerful, as long as I, Da Shun, work together, I can still stop him outside Shanhaiguan.

Then defend along the Great Wall, and only wait for enough money, food and soldiers in the country before they can go out and wipe them out. "

Li Yan and Hong Niangzi looked at each other, thinking: It seems that Ma Ke didn't expect that Dashun not only failed to defeat the Qing army, but would be defeated for thousands of miles.

After toasting Ma Ke with a glass of wine, Li Yan continued: "Before Hong Niang and I left Beijing, King Chuang heard that Wu Sangui had voted for Jiannu, so he personally led the army to conquer.

In a battle between Shi Dashun's army and Wu Sangui's and Jiannu allied forces, they were defeated.

King Chuang hurriedly ascended the throne after withdrawing to the capital, and ordered the Dashun army to withdraw in Shanxi and Henan the next day.

However, Jiannu and Wu Sangui pursued and fought fiercely, and the Dashun army was dragged down by the gold and silver supplies and military personnel collected in the capital, and they threw away their helmets and armor all the way.

Now King Chuang is ready to retreat from Shanxi to Shaanxi, so what does General Ma think of the general situation in the world? "

When Ma Ke heard Li Yan call Li Zicheng Chuang Wang instead of His Majesty, he realized something was wrong, and held the knife handle at his waist.

However, the news revealed by Li Yan in the following words was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Ma Ke and several generals who had a banquet with him to the point where they forgot to react.

After Li Yan finished speaking, Ma Ke and the others came to their senses and drew out their waist knives one after another.

Ma Ke pointed at Li Yan, and asked: "Could it be that Li Ge's department voted for Jian slaves, so they deceived us with a big lie?!"

After asking, he knew it was impossible.

Because Li Yan also called Jiannu in his words before, rather than titles like "Qing Cavalry" or "Eight Banner Elite Soldiers".

Seeing Ma Ke and the others draw their swords, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi stood still, but the five captains also drew their swords and confronted Ma Ke's generals.

Li Yan said: "General Ma would think that I voted for Jiannu, don't you think it's ridiculous? Why would I want to be Jiannu's slave if the upright Ming people don't do it?

As for the defeat of King Chuang in the Battle of Piece of Stone, and the retreat of the Dashun army to Shanxi and Henan, General Ma just needs to send someone to Xi'an Mansion to inquire about the truth of what I said. "

Ma Ke stared at Li Yan, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked, "Could it be that you voted for Daming?"

Unknowingly, both of them changed their address to each other.

Speaking of this, Li Yan certainly would not deny it.

Now that Ma Ke has been invited to this big tent, even counting his servants outside the tent, there are only a hundred of them, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi are not afraid of them breaking out of the barracks.

But Li Yan gave an answer that Ma Ke didn't expect.

"That's right, that's not right." Li Yan said, "To be precise, Hong Niangzi and I left Chuangjun and followed someone far more worthy of following than King Chuang."

Hearing this, Ma Ke frowned, as if a light flashed across his mind, he thought of something instantly, and asked in surprise, "Could it be the prince?"

Although Ma Ke didn't say who the prince was.

But everyone in the tent knew that what he was talking about was Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, not the princes of Dashun and Qing Dynasty - the two currently have no princes.

Hearing this, Ma Ke and several of his generals became weird.

If Li Yan is really the prince of the Ming Dynasty, do they want to do it anyway?

If they were anyway, they wouldn't be held accountable by His Royal Highness for trespassing, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Yan shook his head again, "It's not the prince."

If not the prince, who else?
It can't be some vassal king or clan who wants to seize the opportunity to seize the Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty, right?

After all, Ma Ke is a general, and now he is trapped in the Red Lady's barracks, and he has no patience to guess, so he asked directly: "Li Yan, tell me, who is behind you?"

Li Yan did not answer, but shouted: "Your Highness, please come in."

Hearing His Highness address, the first thing Ma Ke and others thought of was Prince Daming—either Prince Zhu Cihong, or one of the other two princes.

As far as Ma Ke knew, none of the three princes had been caught by Li Zicheng when he left Beijing.

So he couldn't help hanging down his knife and looking towards the tent door.

Two female soldiers opened the tent door from the outside, and then eighteen more female soldiers in armor and holding knives poured into the tent, forming two rows, dividing Ma Ke and others on both sides of the tent.

Only then did someone walk in from the outside.

This person wears a female-style single bun and wears a golden crown of phoenix spreading its wings. The style is simple and elegant yet noble.

He was wearing a crimson brocade jacket with dragon patterns, and he was wearing strange black high-brow leather boots.

The palm-wide belt shows a straight and slender waist, willow eyebrows fly obliquely, the facial features are beautiful, the face is fat, and there is a hint of nobility.

She is indeed a heroic girl!
Under the astonished eyes of Ma Ke and the others, the girl walked between Li Yan and Hong Niangzi, then glanced at Ma Ke and the others, and said in a clear and clear voice, "Princess Auntie Zhu of Kunxing, General Ma should have heard of it, right?"

Ma Ke finally came back to his senses, looked at Aunt Zhu in a daze, and said, "So it's Her Royal Highness... I understand, I heard that the princess assassinated King Chuang in the name of offering a magic lamp, but failed and was captured, but disappeared .

King Chuang also asked Li Yan to find out the whereabouts of the princess, but he didn't expect that Li Yan hid the princess! "

He thought he had solved a mystery about the invasion of the army, but Ma Ke was not at all happy. Instead, his brows were curled into a ball, and his face showed a tangled look.

If the crown prince Zhu Cihong was behind Li Yan, under such circumstances, he might return to the Ming Dynasty anyway.

But now that he knew it was Aimee Zhu, a princess, he felt that it was unreliable.

Even if he returned to the Ming Dynasty, he would have to vote under the command of a feudal lord, right?

With his ability, if he gives it a go, he might be able to help this vassal king to the throne and earn the merits of a Nanming emperor from the dragon.

But now he is being forced by Li Yan and Hong Niangzi to surrender to Princess Daming—what future can there be with a princess?
Is it possible that a princess can become an emperor?
If there was a little bit of possibility in Datang, but now it is in Daming.

Just when Ma Ke was tangled about whether to surrender, he heard Li Yan say: "General Ma is wrong. King Chuang asked me to investigate His Highness's disappearance. It is good, but His Highness was not rescued by me, but by the greatness bestowed on His Highness by heaven." Shentong easily left the camp."

Marko listened.

I even wanted to dig out my ears to see if there was something wrong with my ears.

As a martial artist, he knew that ghosts and gods cannot be trusted, so how could Li Yan, a scholar, say something like "God-given supernatural powers"?
Seeing Ma Ke's suspicious expression, Li Yan wanted to explain something more.

Aimee Zhu stopped him with gestures, and said: "There is no need to explain too much, I just need to show General Ma one thing, and he will know how to choose."

As she spoke, Aunt Zhu motioned for two female soldiers to pull out a piece of thick white cloth, one person tall and one foot long, from inside the tent.

Then turn on the projector that has been adjusted earlier.

A ray of light was projected past, and mottled light and shadow appeared on the white cloth.
