The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 349: Armed Trade!

In the dark courtyard, candlelight flickered.
Slamming the table, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Cheng and shouted angrily: "How could you use such despicable means? Do you know that this will kill my teacher?"

"Xu Jie is your teacher and he shouldn't have died?"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng with a mocking look on his face, Zhang Cheng could not help but stand up and said: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, let alone Xu Jie, anyone can be abandoned!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Juzheng gritted his teeth and said, "Is this what you think?"

"You are too merciful, Zhang Taiyue. People who don't bleed won't experience pain!"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Cheng immediately filled the glass with wine and said, "Congratulations on your promotion to the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

"But this is not what I want! I just..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but hesitate.
Because just as Zhang Cheng said, after Xu Jie stepped down, he was really promoted.
"You are showing mercy to your teacher now. If you encounter more troubles when you use the new method in the future, will you also back down?"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng suspiciously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but wonder if he was too young and hadn't experienced certain things.

You know, Zhang Juzheng resigned from his official position, went home to observe mourning for three years, and saw that he was useless, so he decided to work hard to become a powerful person!
"no way!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but become serious.
"Then let me see how strong your determination is!"

Standing up and leaving, Zhang Cheng then said: "You can't stop Xu Jie from doing this, because he has already hurt the reputation of the Zhu family!"

Sitting on the bed in embarrassment, Zhang Juzheng did not expect that Zhang Cheng's methods would be so cruel and totally unconventional!
On the second day, when Zhang Cheng came to the Southern Pacification Office, he saw Shen Lian walk in and said, "Master Zhang, Commander Lu wants to see you!"

"I'm going right now!"

Looking at Shen Lian in front of him, Zhang Cheng quickly tidied his clothes and went out with him.

When they arrived at the Northern Pacification Office, Zhang Cheng asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Altan Khan has violated the border and threatened the trade with force. Commander Lu wants you to go to Datong!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Shen Lian told him the news he had received.
Hearing Shen Lian say this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but stroke his chin and said, "So Commander Lu is looking for the best fighter!"

If we were to ask who in Jinyiwei could fight the best, it would undoubtedly be Zhang Cheng.
After all, the story of Zhang Cheng's bravery in "persuading the surrender" by the hundred cavalrymen had spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Even the Jinyiwei who followed him at the time couldn't believe that a man could actually lift a stone lion and smash the door. How terrifying is that!

"Your subordinate Zhang Cheng, I am here to see the commander!"

Looking at Lu Bing, Zhang Cheng quickly bowed and saluted.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lu Bing said, "We are all family, no need to be polite. Shen Lian has already told you what happened?"

"I already know!"

Zhang Cheng answered with his hands folded, and couldn't help but ask: "Is the battle situation dangerous this time?"

"It's very dangerous. Altan Khan has sent 60,000 men to besiege Datong. General Zhang Da and Deputy General Lin Chun were killed in the battle!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in front of him, Lu Bing continued: "This time, you need to not only investigate Altan's movements, but also escort the new general Qiu Luan!"

After hearing the name Qiu Luan, Zhang Cheng was stunned.
Because isn’t this the most incompetent general in history?
You know, when Altan threatened the trade with force, Qiu Luan, the old man, actually gave money to solve the problem and let Altan lead his men to attack other places.
As a result, Altan, who received the money, turned around and attacked Gubeikou, and then went to Huairou, Shunyi and other places, causing countless plunders!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but touch his chin, thinking about how to help Qiu Luan arrive in "Datong" smoothly!
"Sir, the war in Datong is urgent now, why don't I set off as soon as possible!"

Looking at Lu Bing in front of him, Zhang Cheng looked like he was loyal to his country.

Seeing Zhang Cheng's attitude, Lu Bing quickly said, "Okay, you can order one thousand Jinyiwei to accompany you!"

"Yes, sir!" Hearing Lu Bing say this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly replied with his hands clasped!
The next day, at dawn,
A group of cavalrymen headed towards Datong.
While riding a horse, Qiu Luan was still thinking about how to deal with the problem of Datong.

After all, according to his thinking, it was impossible to fight, after all, Zhang Da and Lin Chun had died in the battle.

It's very clear what his level is!
So Qiu Luan planned to negotiate with Altan to see if he could solve the problem with money.
Looking at Qiu Luan, Zhang Cheng's eyes flickered.

Because he now thought of a good idea, which is to let "Altan" kill Chou Luan!

As for whether Altan did it or not, that is not up to Zhang Cheng!

Zhang Cheng: I am a Jinyiwei. If I say you do it, you do it!
Altan: Southerners really have no moral principles!

Half a month later, Datong,
After riding the gondola up to the city, Qiu Luan immediately summoned the generals of various divisions.

Looking at the wounded people in front of him, Qiu Luan couldn't help but say righteously: "Everyone, His Majesty sent me here to protect Datong, so I hope you can work together with me to fight against Altan."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Hearing Qiu Luan's words, the generals below also clasped their hands.
"This is Zhang Cheng, the assistant commander of the Southern Pacification Division. I'm sure you have heard of his name!"

With a smile on his face, Qiu Luan began to explain,

"Meet Mr. Zhang!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, many people bowed.
"Although I am a member of the Imperial Guard, I am also a member of the Ming Dynasty. If you need me, I will do my best to help you!"

Zhang Cheng saluted with his hands clasped together, his expression very serious.

At night, the stars are high in the sky,
Standing on the battlement, Zhang Cheng silently opened up the battle situation. When he saw the huge camp and many cavalrymen lying in ambush around, he smiled in his heart.
Did Altan think Qiu Luan had the ability to attack?
Don't joke around, Qiu Luan is the kind of guy who dares to kill innocent people and take credit for it. If he dares to attack outside, Zhang Cheng will dare to go to the West Factory to be the supervisor!
Seeing Zhang Cheng observing, Ding Xiu stepped forward and said, "It's all arranged!"

"Do it yourself, don't let him live!"

Turning his head to look at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

"I understand, but what about Altan outside? They have 60,000 troops!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng hesitantly, Ding Xiu was also afraid that after something happened to Qiu Luan, Altan would suddenly attack Datong!
Looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng said, "Don't worry, we have the Jinyiwei here! They can't get in!"

After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Ding Xiu said, "Okay then!"

At night, when Qiu Luan was sleeping, he suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly turned over.
But just as he picked up the knife next to him, he saw the door was pushed open.
He walked in carrying a Miao Dao, and Ding Xiu immediately rushed forward.

While resisting Ding Xiu, Qiu Luan immediately realized something was wrong, because how could this be the Qi family sword?

But at this moment, an engineer shovel suddenly smashed out.

When Qiu Luan was hit and unable to dodge, he fell to the ground immediately.
Looking at Ding Xiu, Krieger held the engineer shovel and stared at him with a questioning look, as if asking, how come you have been fighting such a noob for so long?

Looking at the "Jinyiwei" in front of him, Ding Xiu silently put away his knife, then knocked over the candle and said, "Hey, when can I get rid of the fate of being a farmhand in this life?"

"It's bad. The general was assassinated by Altan Khan."

"The general has been assassinated!"

Just as the chaotic voices rang out, Altan outside Datong asked in confusion, "Wait, who assassinated who?"
