little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 145 The Ending
The sky had already brightened, and the entire governor's mansion had disappeared since some time, only the sound of shouting and killing outside filled the ears.

Trees fall and monkeys scatter, walls fall and people push, seeing that something is wrong, people with long legs can escape, can run, who would just sit around and wait to die?
Yibai, who had already turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, had a faint death air covering his face, mad in despair, walking alone with a knife in one hand and a torch in the other.

Everywhere he walked, he stopped, looked at it seriously and focused for a while, and then raised the torch to light it.

The north wind howled, the sky was dry and everything was dry, and the creaking flames quickly burned into flames, from small to large, and burned happily.

Qiao Bai stared blankly at all this, with a smile on his face, as if he was playing a very fun game.

The flames soaring into the sky dyed his originally ashen and desperate eyes into a dazzling blood red.

Gently pushing open the door to the backyard, his old wife, concubine, and his favorite children came into view.

He stretched out his arms to embrace the frightened and weeping children, patted their heads, and said in the most gentle voice in his life: "Don't be afraid, this is a dream, just wake up."

The children were still crying loudly, but they didn't realize that Ama, who had always had a bad temper, didn't scold them for the first time this time.

Slowly straightened up, met the sad and clear eyes of the old wife, and bowed his head heavily: "I'm sorry, but I can't let you be arrested and sent to Beijing to be mutilated alive."

Carefully placed the corpses of children, wives and concubines on the couch, covered them lightly with quilts, sighed, slowly picked up the knife, took out a snow-white silk from his arms, and started Panting heavily, he wiped the knife silently.

The sharp edge of the blade is still bright, and the line of blood on the edge of the blade presents a coquettish blood red color because of the full drinking of blood.

When Qianbai held up the knife that he had wiped cleanly with his own hands, it was Qianyun's words that flashed in his heart.

This knife has drunk enough of other people's blood, now it wants to drink your blood the most...

The snow blade slashed across his neck, and the blood splashed on the back of his hand. The hot temperature was like hot oil, which made his heart twitch tightly.

One word, pain, so fucking painful...

The fire in the governor's mansion burned for three days and two nights. The sky above was red with the light of the flames. The north wind blew endless black ash into the sky, and even the white snow that fell from the sky turned into black snow.

The General Military Mansion in Ningxia City has now become the temporary command post of the Ming Army.

Li Ruzhang rushed in excitedly, with uncontrollable excitement on his face, "This trip was worthwhile, and I finally caught this guy." Then he raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Come on, come in and show the prince." look."

A tiger roared outside, and two soldiers escorted a heavily tied man, pushing and shoving him in.

Zhu Changluo put down the book in his hand and looked up. The one who was kneeling on the ground with his head downcast was Qiao Chengen who, after the fire in the city, saw that the situation was not good, he led his troops to open the north gate and fled.

The net of heaven and earth has been formed, how far can you run and drink?

Li Ruzhang followed closely behind, while Xiao Ruxun, who had killed Bu Shitu in front, did not return to the Pinglu camp, but directly led his army to Ningxia City for reinforcements.

After attacking back and forth, they actually caught such a big fish, and the whole army was overjoyed.

Since then, after half a year of turmoil and killing, because of the arrest of Chengen, the battle of Ningxia finally came to a successful scene.

The news spread to the capital, and the whole country celebrated.The Wanli Emperor Longyan was very happy, and sent a special envoy to hurry up, and the imperial edicts of rewards were poured down one after another like running water.

The most important one is to ask Prince Rui to return to the capital quickly. The sentence "Long time no see, I miss you" in the imperial decree is enough to explain many problems.I don't know what the adults in Beijing think about this, anyway, the hearts of those kneeling on the ground in Ningxia City who heard these eight words couldn't help but twitch a few times, saying that this Prince Rui has always been despised by the emperor. It's all a rumour.

Compared with the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Li Rusong's expression was more gratified, and of course uneasy, because it was finally time to act on the letter that was pressing on his heart.

So after the great war, the most critical time has come. Officials are promoted, rewards and pensions are given, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

Everyone who has done meritorious service is full of joy, even the common people in Ningxia city have smiles that they haven't seen for a long time. Prince Rui really keeps his promise, and the money he promised to be distributed earlier is not a little bit less.

Because of Zhu Changluo's strong recommendation, Xiao Ruxun deservedly promoted to be the commander of Ningxia, and Xue Rushou was promoted to be the deputy commander and commander.

The four brothers Yao Qin, Zhao Chengguang, Ge Chen, and Zhang Xialing contributed meritorious service to the city, and they were all promoted from white clothes to lieutenant generals, under the jurisdiction of Xue Rushou.

As for Liu Dongyang who died in the fire, Zhu Changluo fulfilled his wish, and his family members were not implicated. Although they were ransacked according to the law, they were taken care of by Xue Rushou, so it didn't have much impact on their lives in the future.Liu Dongyang also seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence. If he knows after death, he probably has nothing to say.

Brothers Li Rusong, Ma Gui, Dong Yiyuan and Liu Chengsi who came to suppress the rebellion have already received the imperial order to escort Cheng'en to Beijing immediately, and each will be rewarded according to his meritorious service.

Some people are happy, others are sad, and they are accompanied by Wei Xuezeng, who is waiting for the crime, and Mei Guozhen, the military supervising officer who was supposed to be flying, also returned to Beijing with his head downcast.Because he was well-informed, he had already learned that the Holy Majesty was very displeased with his military and political affairs. As for how to punish him after he returned to Beijing, he was really at a loss in his mind.I wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the war to make a fortune, but I didn't expect to respond to an old saying: If you don't eat mutton, you will be covered with fishy meat.

When everything draws to a close, it's time to leave.

That night Zhu Changluo couldn't sleep holding a candle, opened the window, the night was dark, the ground was covered with snow, it was quiet and tranquil.

There were a few faint sounds of firecrackers in the distance, and Zhu Changluo suddenly realized that time really flows like water, and the 19th year of Wanli has come to the end of the year...

Today Li Rusong and other eight generals have escorted Qian Chengen back to the capital to receive the reward. Originally, the imperial decree wanted them to return to the capital with Prince Rui, but Zhu Changluo refused and asked them to go first, and then he would arrive later.

After this battle, Zhu Changluowei believed in Yilong, and now the young master said something casually. These rebellious and unruly generals who usually have their eyes high above the top have no objection except to obey, as if it is only right and proper, as it should be.

There was a letter on the case, which was handed over to Li Rusong after hesitation when he was leaving.

After looking at the crumpled envelope and the signature of Li Chengliang on it, Zhu Changluo remained silent for a while, because he seemed to have guessed what Li Chengliang wanted to say in the letter.

The coming 20 years of Wanli is destined to not be peaceful.The Battle of Ningxia has ended ahead of schedule because of my own appearance, and it seems that the battle of North Korea that is about to break out is also coming and inevitable.

It's just that this battle can really be handed over to Li Chengliang, really let him be the king of Joseon?Zhu Changluo turned his head sideways and looked at Li Rusong without speaking.

I will never forget Zhu Changluo's expression on the letter and the clear eyes he looked at himself. I don't know if his eyes were dazzled. At that moment, Li Rusong suddenly had a strange idea: that is, he knew what was written in the letter. , but...is this possible?
Looking at Zhu Changluo who refused to read the letter for a long time, just as he was gritting his teeth and preparing for a showdown, Zhu Changluo suddenly opened his mouth.

"General, let's go back to Beijing to face Sheng. I will return to Beijing soon, and I will give you and Uncle Ning Yuan an answer."

The candlelight in the room was flickering, and the eyes of the other party were like cutting water and ice, changing from bright to dark.Li Rusong took a steady look at Zhu Changluo, and saw that the latter had the usual faint smile on his face, but his eyes were clear and terrifying, and his expression was confident and firm.

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he said that if there is an answer, then there is an answer, so naturally Li Rusong will not say any more.

Just after Li Rusong led the brigade to set off, Hubenwei was already packing up in an orderly manner, ready to return to Beijing at any time.

In fact, many people expressed their incomprehension to why Zhu Changluo walked slowly, but Zhu Changluo knew that he still had one place to go, and that was Gansu.The third lady in Guihua City must meet again before she leaves, because this side may be the eternal farewell.

Thinking of the word Yongjue, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but want to smile wryly.

He has been forcing himself not to think about the poisoning, but it cannot be denied that the time left for him is getting less and less.

The darkening of the eyes and the expanding coldness in the lower abdomen all reminded him from the poisoning in the 17th year of Wanli to the upcoming 20th year of Wanli. life?

It is said that lifespan is only a hundred years, like a white horse passing by, but isn't it too short for me?

Looking at the night sky, the moon is hidden and the stars are shining brightly. I suddenly want to ask: Where did you go?
It's a pity that the only one who answered him was the silence of the sky and the silence of Xueluo. Zhu Changluo sighed heavily.

Today is the day before Zhu Changluo leaves, and he decided to have a good get-together with good buddies like Yao Qin and others.

Xiao Ruxun, Wang Yong, Yao Qin, and Zhang Xialing all came, but Xue Rushou was missing.

Seeing Yao Qin hesitating to speak, Zhu Changluo still didn't understand something.

Liu Dongyang's death has become a hurdle in Xue Rushou's heart, Zhu Changluo doesn't like to take care of it, and there are some things that others can't explain as well as he can think, anyway, he feels ashamed of what he has done.He waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Today we have a gathering of friends, no matter where we come from, there are only brothers, drink to your heart's content, and don't return when you don't get drunk."

There are not many people here who are not good at drinking. Yao Qin and others come from a family, and they are not only good at drinking, but also know how to drink.

Yao Qin has a lively personality and hates restraint the most in his life. Hearing what Zhu Changluo said, he was the first to jump up with a groan.

With a wave of his hand, the family behind him brought up two large altars of wine. Everyone saw that the soil on the mud seal was still slightly damp, obviously it had just been dug out from the underground cellar.

Zhao Chengguang stared at it for a while, then suddenly slammed the table down, raised his arms and shouted: "Yao Qin, you actually stole all the Lihuachun that your father put on the bottom of the coffin?"

Hearing the word Lihuachun, Ge Chen's eyes lit up immediately!Swallowing secretly, he stretched out his hand and clasped a fist at Yao Qin: "Brother Yao, you are really good, you dare to do this, don't worry, if something happens to you when you go home this time, your father will be my father." , your wife is my wife..." Looking at Yao Qin's wide-eyed eyes, rolled up his sleeves, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, your son is still your son."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhu Changluo was out of breath from laughing, pointing at this pair of live treasures and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Xianling looked worried, "Yao Qin, take out this wine, does your old man know?"

"Just don't worry, everyone. Brother Zhu is leaving tomorrow. Let's have a good time." Yao Qin waved his hand carelessly, then slapped Ge Chen on the head, and said with a glare, "Don't wait for next year, I'll start today." It's you, next year I'll burn paper for you." The beating made Ge Chen groan and hurt, and everyone laughed again.

As soon as the wine was unsealed, it smelled so fragrant that everyone stared straight at them and gulped their saliva together. It really is a rare first-class wine.

Poured into the cup, it was as thick as golden honey, and even Sun Chengzong, who was never greedy, couldn't help drinking three cups in a row.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Chengguang blushed like a monkey's butt, and said with a smile: "This kind of wine is worth a beating."

Yao Qin glared at him with a smile, feeling elated in his heart.

This Lihuachun is indeed his father's lifeblood. The old man usually loves it like an eyeball and values ​​it more than his life. If Yao Qin dared to touch it, his father might be able to execute him on the spot.But this time Yao Qin needn't be afraid, when his father heard that it was going to be used to send Prince Rui off, the old man went to hold it out in person.

When Yao Qin walked out of the gate, the old man chased after him and shouted: "It's not enough, come back and get it."

Seeing that Zhu Changluo's glass was dry, Yao Qin couldn't help laughing: "I didn't know that brother Zhu's drinking capacity is so good, it seems that it's all thanks to my father's wine."

After all, careless people like Yao Qin are rare, and Sun Chengzong is as careful as a hair. At this time, he has already noticed that Zhu Changluo is a little crazy. Seeing him watching the moon with wine, he seems to be in a state of drunkenness. , just whispered a sentence: "If you are unhappy in your heart, it's okay to be drunk."

In this scene, everyone was in the same mood, and the wine was already a thousand cups away, and it was not until the wine glasses were replaced by wine bowls that everyone returned home happily.
