little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 138 Changes
This night is destined not to be peaceful. Anxiety and uneasiness are not only felt by the people in Ningxia city, but also by the Ming army camp outside the city.

After the discussion was over, Zhu Changluo didn't see Ye He's figure after leaving the tent, so he couldn't help being slightly startled.

At that time, the night was as black as ink, the north wind howled, and the snow had already drifted away from the sky at some point.

The snow fell on the ground, pure white, and fell on the face, cold and refreshing.

After a while, Zhu Changluo finally came back to his senses, turned around without saying a word and walked slowly towards his bed tent.

The road from the main tent to the sleeping tent was not long, but Zhu Changluo was clearly preoccupied and walked very slowly.

Unexpectedly, from the back of the little prince who was still powerful in the tent just now, he forcibly saw a bit of loneliness and sympathy, Sun Chengzong frowned involuntarily, hesitated for a while, then quickened his pace, and chased after him. He walks with him.

Seeing that he had something on his mind, Sun Chengzong deliberately drew his attention away, talking and laughing along the way, telling him some anecdotes from his travels.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing the bed tent in front of him, Zhu Changluo raised his drooping eyelids and smiled, "Teacher, don't worry, I'm fine."

But when he turned around and was about to enter the tent, he suddenly noticed something, Zhu Changluo stopped abruptly, the smile on the corner of his mouth had froze, and his face turned pale suddenly.

Sun Chengzong finally couldn't help it, and asked directly: "What happened?"

Zhu Changluo pointed to the large tent where he lived and said, "...the lights in the tent are so bright."

When I left, the lights in the tent were already off, but the people were still there.

When I came back, the light was on... I'm afraid he has already left, right?
Zhu Changluo quickly turned around and entered the account, looking around, everything was as usual.

On the case, Fu Xijian was pressing a piece of paper, but when it was unfolded, it was blank without a single word.

With a smile on Zhu Changluo's face, he let out a long sigh in his heart.

It's good to go, once you go for a hundred, it will save him embarrassment, and save yourself embarrassment, it's good!

I hope that from now on, you will hold a long sword, take Wu Gou, and swallow a thousand bells of wine from all over the world.

I hope you will be unfettered from now on, free to come and go, and unrestrained all your life.

So he completely ignored Sun Chengzong's puzzled expression, closed the tent door, and turned on the lamp to sleep.

The next day, there was movement in Ningxia City early in the morning.

A person was let down with a rope from the top of the city wall, and everyone recognized it now. It was Li Deng, who was used to walking.

Compared with yesterday's dingy look, today's Li Deng is smiling.

Early in the morning, he sent someone to call him to the mansion, and handed a letter to Li Deng, asking him to enter Mingying to bring it to Zhu Changluo.When Li Deng received the letter, he glanced at the self-proclaimed great prince who had not been a few days ago. He seemed to have not slept all night. His face was full of flesh and blood, and his eyes were like blood. Scary red.

Entering the big tent of the Ming army, Zhu Changluo was present impressively.

Li Deng suddenly had a feeling that although the characters were equally handsome and the tone of Hexi was the same, there seemed to be some difference between the little prince today and the one last night...

After receiving the letter handed over by Li Deng, Zhu Changluo smiled lightly: "How about it, can you do everything I said?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the little one has done everything." Li Deng knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said gratefully: "Your Highness's kindness, the little one never forgets. Sure enough, he didn't beheaded, and he earned dozens of taels of silver."

After sending Li Deng away, Zhu Changluo opened the letter from Xie Bai and read it.

The major generals in one tent held their breaths and did not even hear a cough.

Quietly staring at the little prince who was reading the letter, the letter that Li Rusong held against his heart felt faintly hot.

Zhu Changluo looked at it quickly, raised his head in a few moments, and handed the letter to Li Rusong with his hand.

Li Rusong quickly picked it up, and after hastily reading it, he suddenly burst into flames and said angrily, "Bless this guy, he's so cunning and cunning."

At this moment, several chief soldiers in the account have read the letter in turn, with different expressions and thoughts.

There were not many words in Xiaobai's letter, and the meaning was very clear. The general idea was that he was willing to surrender, but the premise was that the Ming army would first retreat the torrent of the besieged city.Moreover, the imperial court should issue an iron certificate of immunity. As long as he has this thing, he will immediately bind himself out of the city and surrender.

Treacherous Ermi slippery, but the case.

Maybe it's because Mei Guozhen has been a speech officer for a long time, and Mei Guozhen is not good at fighting, but in terms of mobilizing his head, he is much faster than the big bosses and generals present, "Your Highness, this must be a tactic of delaying. The purpose of withdrawing water is to protect the city and appease the anger of the people in the city, and the theory of the iron certificate of immunity is purely to delay time!"

Ningxia and the capital city are thousands of miles away, and if they want to get rid of the iron coupons according to what Qibai said, even if they go back and forth quickly, they will have a one-month deadline.

This month is enough to do a lot of things.

Zhu Changluo nodded: "Master Mei is very reasonable."

Mei Guozhen received the praise, his old face suddenly turned red, and his complexion was so good that it couldn't be better.

At this moment, there were whispers and discussions in the tent, but Zhu Changluo remained silent, his eyes lost in thought, allowing them to argue and argue.

Wang Tong, the chief soldier of Yansui, was the first to jump up, his face was flushed with anxiety: "Worshiping the old dog is obviously a waste of time, if you want me to say, talk to him, and when the assault boat is built, just beat his mother and turn her back on her back. "

Li Ruzhang immediately agreed: "That's right. At this point, this old bastard still refuses to give in. If he doesn't obediently come out of the city to die, he is obviously looking for a beating!" Turning his head and staring at Ma Gui: "Ma Gui, your charge When will the boat be built, we are all waiting."

Ma Gui didn't even look at him, expressionless: "It will be ready soon!"

Did you suddenly realize that you were being ignored by this guy?Li Ruzhang was suddenly angry, thinking about when he had been treated like this since he was a child, and when he was about to stare, Zhu Changluo gave him cold eyes of warning.Li Ruzhang shut his mouth in an instant like frost beating an eggplant. He couldn't hold it back anymore, and said angrily with a double entendre: "This kind of person is purely shameless. You can't be polite to this kind of person, otherwise you will have to make progress." It's got to be a joke."

Mei Ruzhen immediately responded from the side: "What the general said is true! Ni Ni is ruthless and ruthless. If we don't destroy them first, we will never make peace! Our Ming army is so brave, do we still ask them to make peace?"

Seeing that the old man was impassioned and spitting, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but find it funny that a civil servant was even more aggressive than a military officer.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the big tent as if a pot was boiling.

At this inconsequential place, Zhu Changluo clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me."

The noisy voices in the tent suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo's slender jade-like fingers tapped lightly on the case a few times, and raised his eyelids slightly: "Just as he said, put the water first to show sincerity."

Everyone hissed like a toothache, Mei Guozhen, Li Ruzhang and others all looked at Zhu Changluo in disbelief.

Only Li Rusong keenly found a sly and clear smile in the prince's eyes.

Sure enough, Zhu Changluo immediately said: "Don't put it clean, just block the water source above it slowly."

Ma Gui, whose face was tense, suddenly grinned, which made Li Ruzhang, who was sitting next to him, feel chills: My God, your face looks better if you don't smile...

"Li Deng once said in the city that the imperial court's iron certificate of immunity is already in my hands, but I just withheld it and didn't issue it?" Zhu Changluo's expression was light, and his smile became brighter: "In that case, we can't let him down. Kindness."

Turning to Mei Guozhen, he said, "Master Mei, please draw up a notice to inform the people in Ningxia that the iron coupons are already in the army, and I just need to wait for you to come out and surrender."

Mei Guozhen, who was named, stood up with a blushing face, and said triumphantly: "My lord's order, I dare not disobey it. Mere notices are not worth it. I think I was notorious for relying on horses and thousands of words when I was dismissed from office. At once……"

Zhu Changluo cut off his words with a half-smile but not a smile: "Well, I'm going to trouble you so much, you don't need to make too much, just copy three hundred copies."

The sip of tea that Li Ruzhang just poured into his mouth suddenly sprayed on the ground.

Looking at Mei Guozhen's downcast face, he was about to cry.

"Tomorrow, the general, please send someone to shoot the notice into the city with arrows. If you spread the word so widely, let's come and deal with him in his own way."

Li Rusong nodded and accepted the order, clapping his hands in applause: "This plan is great. Let the dumb people eat yellow lotus. I can't explain the suffering. I can't delay it any more. If we still refuse to surrender, we will attack the city immediately, which is justified. Teacher famous."

After the account was disbanded, Li Ruzhang, with a sad face, gave his elder brother Li Rusong a hand.

Li Rusong was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

Li Ruzhang is mysterious and almost sneaky: "Your son-in-law is really powerful, can you tell him, I think he always looks bad to me, speaking of which, I am also his elder..."

Li Rusong swung his big foot and kicked, one word... Get lost, get away as far as you can!
After the leaflet notice was shot into the city, it immediately caused an uproar.

Although Li Deng had brought a message before, after all, there is no basis for words. Now these leaflets are clearly written in black and white, and each leaflet has the big red seal of Prince Rui. Needless to say, all the blame was directed at Qi Bai.

Inside the governor's mansion, Qianbai sat in the middle with a gloomy face, frowning as he looked down at a dozen or so generals who were standing close to him, few of them looked serious, and more anxious.As the scrutinizing eyes of Xiao Bai swept over one by one, these guys who were usually flying like wolves and tigers with their toes high, all of them either had blinking eyes or looked down at the ground.

Qiao Bai raised his head suddenly: "Where is Liu Dongyang?"

Mentioning Liu Dongyang, Chengen took a step forward: "Liu Dongyang said he was not feeling well, and asked someone to say that he won't be coming today."

Xiao Bai was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that not only Liu Dongyang hadn't come, but his subordinates and generals were also not here.

sick?Is it a heart attack?
After being stunned for a moment, Qiao Bai suddenly laughed a few times, his dryness was extremely unpleasant, and the veins on the back of his hand that was pressing on the handle of the knife had already bulged.

"Has the Ming army started releasing water?"

Tu Wenxiu took a step forward: "Going back to the Lord, it has already begun, and now the water level trapped outside the city has dropped a lot."

Xiaobai nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Xiaobai is here to thank you. I called you here today to ask the big guys. The Ming army wants us to surrender the city. What do you think?"

The generals looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Tu Wenxiu forced a smile and said, "We are all members of Grandpa Xiao, and we can do whatever Grandfather says."

Xiaobai sighed, glanced at these familiar faces again, and suddenly said: "After the water recedes, open the city gate, let's descend."

Qiao Chengen's eyes widened in surprise: "Ama?"

Xiaobai waved his hand exhaustedly: "The general trend is over, I have made up my mind, and there is no reason to persist any longer."

The water came and went quickly, and after three days, the flood had completely receded.

After nearly a month of immersion, the four city walls were severely damaged, among which the northern wall was the most severe.

After Zhu Changluo rode his horse around the city, he stopped and looked at the north wall thoughtfully.

Today is the day when I made an appointment with Qi Bai to go out of the city to accept the surrender, but Zhu Changluo believes that things will never be that simple.

The sky was covered with leaden clouds, and it seemed to be gloomy.

Zhu Changluo sat quietly in the tent, his face was calm, and he remained silent.

A soldier came to report outside the gate: "The gate of Ningxia has been opened, and a group of troops has come out."

Zhu Changluo nodded: "Investigate and report again."

Sun Chengzong was a little hesitant: "Your Highness, should we send a team of soldiers and horses to have a look?"

"No need. Within ten miles of the camp, there are three thousand archers from General Li Rusong waiting for them. If they dismount and accept the surrender, I will go out to receive them in person, but..." Zhu Changluo shook his head with a smile, his snow-white teeth were amazingly bright.

But what, Zhu Changluo didn't finish, but Sun Chengzong seemed to have some kind of mysterious premonition.

As he got closer and closer to Mingying, Chengen's teeth clenched tighter and tighter, and he tightly grasped the handle of the knife with such strength that he could almost make fingerprints on the hard wood on the handle.

As he got closer, the Ming camp was still very quiet, and Chengen could clearly see the archers with bows and arrows lined up at the gate of the camp.There was also Li Rusong's white horse and silver spear, with a mocking sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his cold eyes kept gazing at Cheng En's face.

Chengen stopped his horse, his face turned pale, and he entered the shooting range of the Ming army one step further. At that time, whether he surrendered or died was no longer his decision!
Tu Wenxiu rode up from behind, with a panicked expression, "Master, what should I do?"

At this moment, there was a sudden booming sound in the distance, from far to near, even the ground trembled faintly...

That was the sound of countless horseshoes stamping on the ground, thundering like thunder, which shocked everyone.

Yan Chengen's pupils suddenly dilated, his pale face was blood red, and his breathing became rapid like a wild animal.

Because he saw that Li Rusong's face had changed color...
