Chapter 13 Yu Zhuang Eliminates Evil
After half an hour of emergency mobilization, thousands of villagers in the valley had been concentrated in the school training ground. When Feng Zhijian said that he wanted all the staff to withdraw from Yangu, many people were talking about each other. After all, they had lived here for more than two hundred years, and it was naturally difficult to accept that they had to leave suddenly.
But when Feng Zhijian said that the Shun Army was about to bombard Yan Gu, everyone was silent. In order to survive, they had no choice but to accept it.
As time goes by, Yu Wan only gave them a quarter of an hour to clean up their time.
Soon, Feng Zhijian found two carriages and served Chongzhen and his daughter to get on the car. After the villagers gathered again, the evacuated army set out toward the tunnel in a mighty manner!
As the commander-in-chief of the south, Yu Wan naturally took the lead. The breeze was smooth and the white robe was fluttering, with the aura of a commander. Behind him was Feng Zhijian, who was solemn, sitting like a pine tree, and was as if he was about to come. Behind the carriage were the two young generals Xu Hu and Feng Dai, who were also energetic and escorting the two cars without leaving.
Behind the convoy were the residents of Yeyan Valley, including those holding knives, bags, carts, chickens, and babies... and followed in the end.
Just as they entered the tunnel, they heard the sound of the air, and shells fell from the sky, making a shocking explosion. The flames instantly flooded the place where they had lived for hundreds of years, like a tsunami.
If you withdraw later, the consequences will be really unimaginable! Everyone can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Two or three quarters of an hour later, the evacuated army finally retreated from the valley.
Feng Zhijian knew that it was time to say goodbye to the emperor.
"Grandpa, aren't you going with us?"
The young Feng Dai said anxiously holding Feng Zhijian.
The latter smiled faintly, "Dai'er, the emperor's imperial guards must be very dangerous to move south. The more people there are, the more likely they will be exposed. If you take the old, weak and young women and children like Ye Yan Gu, you will be caught up by the peasant army if you can't go far. Therefore, my grandfather decided to take the Feng clan members to find another place to reproduce. As for you, you should help Commander Yu continue to escort the emperor to Nanjing."
Seeing that his grandson had to persuade him again, Feng Zhijian bowed to Chongzhen and said, "Long live my life, please ask the emperor to punish him!"
Looking at Feng Zhijian who had decided to leave, Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was thinking about this all the way. It would definitely not work to move south with Ye Yan Gu people, but he was afraid that others would say that he had ungratefulness when he crossed the river and destroyed the bridge. Unexpectedly, Feng Zhijian did not care about the fact that Feng Sheng's ancestor was wronged and was loyal to him. Instead, he was loyal to the emperor and thought about him everywhere.
"Feng Qing, if I can make a comeback, I will definitely not let you down. My dear, take good care of you!"
After singing a look at Chongzhen, Feng Zhijian came to Yu Wan and whispered, "General Yu, you are both wise and brave and loyal to the emperor and patriotism. You are all counting on you for your revival of the Ming Dynasty."
"Mr. Feng can rest assured."
Yu Wan saw everything and couldn't help but look down on Feng Zhijian.
"You must understand the unique skills left by Mr. Liu Bowen."
Looking at Feng Zhijian's meaningful eyes, Yu Wan instantly became petrified. It turned out that he had known that he had taken away the strange plots of wars, but he never came to ask for it. It seemed that this old mind was really beyond ordinary people's comparison.
After saying goodbye, Feng Zhijian took his tribe members to the west, while Yu Wan took the convoy to the south.
———
Time soon came to mid-May 2017, and the land of China had undergone earth-shaking changes: Li Zicheng's Dashun regime occupied most of the areas north of the Huai River; Li Zicheng failed to surrender Wu Sangui, and the two sides began to fight each other; the news that Chongzhen was bombarded and killed in Yangu in the wild spread across the country, and King Fu Zhu Yousong, supported by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, with the reign of the Ming Dynasty, and was named Hongguang, and then ruled the Ming Dynasty...
The graceful swallows gather in the Western Qiang from afar, with tall mountains and rivers.
After more than half a month of hiking during the day and night, Yu Wan and his party had already left Baoding, crossed Hejian, crossed Dongchang, crossed Xuzhou, and arrived at ** Town on the edge of the Huai River.
Given that Li Zicheng thought Chongzhen had been buried in Yangu, and they only walked the small road but not the official road, they were smooth sailing along the way and did not encounter any troubles. As long as they crossed the Huai River, they were only more than 400 miles away from Nanjing.
They plan to borrow a boat from the local area, cross the Huai River, and go straight to Nanjing!
At this moment, the moon is full and the wind is high and the stars are shining. However, the doors and windows in ** Town are closed and silent. They walked to the river bank and did not see a family with lights on.
"Strange, now it's only about three o'clock in the Xu hour, why are the villagers resting?"
After Feng Dai tied up all the horses, he said with a frown.
"If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. All the beloved generals must be careful."
Chongzhen's body was almost well, so he walked off the carriage with the help of Xu Hu.
Yu Wan also wanted to lead Princess Lingxiang out of the car, but the other party just snorted coldly and ignored him.
Along the way, the Ming princess never gave Yu Wanhao a look, and everyone had long been accustomed to it.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to this house to knock on the door and take a look?"
Xu Hu pointed to the family that was surrounded by fences not far away. After receiving the approval of Emperor Chongzhen, he happily stepped forward, crossed the wooden railing, and went forward to slap the door.
"Is anyone? Open the door!"
Xu Hu knocked for a few times, but there was no movement in the room. Hu Zi was furious. With his right palm, he actually knocked the worn-out wooden door into several pieces!
Yu Wan was shocked, and Chongzhen hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him.
"There is obviously someone here, but I can't open the door for a long time!"
Xu Hu pointed to the two shadows in the room. Yu Wan quickly took out the fire from his arms. With a "puff" sound, the light instantly dispelled the darkness and illuminated every corner of the broken house.
What caught my eye was the old and the young, who were trembling and hugging each other. The old one was about the early sixties, with white hair and thin hair, his face full of vicissitudes, his clothes had been covered with patches, and some holes could not even be found in the cracks; the young one was about the same age as Ling Xiang, and although his hair was unkempt, he could not hide her delicate aura. Under the coarse cloth clothes, there was a convex figure, and his pitiful big eyes made people feel even more loving and pity.
"Don't panic, we are just passing by the treasure land and want to borrow a ship."
Yu Wan lit the candle on the table and apologized to the young and old.
Seeing that the old man was still frightened and silent, Chongzhen took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the old man's hand and said, "I dare to ask this father-in-law why the lights are turned off so early?"
The old man didn't know whether the person in front of him was good or bad, but the silver was undoubtedly true. After hesitating for a moment, he put it in his arms, let go of the girl in his arms, and said tremblingly, "What, are you not Li Changdong's subordinates?"
"Li Changdong? Who is it?"
Yu Wan glanced at Chongzhen, but it was obvious that the emperor didn't know who this was.
Seeing this, the old man first wiped the cold sweat from his face and ordered the girl to prepare some food. He sighed, "Li Changdong, this beast that killed heaven was originally a scattered soldier and brave soldier in the Ming Dynasty army. He gathered hundreds of defeated generals to become bandits, burn, kill, loot, and do everything evil, fish and meat, and poison the living creatures!"
Speaking of Li Changdong, the old man was very indignant and drank several sips of water before continuing, "This bitch raised me and recently I have set a sight on the fishing boat in ** Town. It's okay to rob the boat. The most hateful thing is that after the robbery, he beheaded all the males and all the female relatives. Last night, the nearby village was hit by seedlings. I think it's our turn tonight, so I advise you to leave this ghost place quickly!"
So that's it! After hearing this, Chongzhen was the most angry. Unexpectedly, his soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were not good at fighting, and he was very good at bullying the civilians, which made him look very blind.
The girl quickly brought it to her. The dish was not rich. The rice was mixed with many residual bran. The meat dish was only a dark and matte steamed fish, and the vegetables were two plates of wild vegetables that could not be called. It would be fine if there was no oil, but it smelled a little bad.
"I said, father-in-law, can you serve some delicious food? Don't be so petty."
Xu Hu muttered, very dissatisfied. Although they had been running away, they had never felt wronged in their stomachs and had never eaten such a bad meal.
The girl said with dizzy eyes, "This is our last meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stopped talking. Xu Hu gritted his teeth and quickly cleaned the rice in the bowl.
After a brief conversation, everyone learned that the old man was called Yu Laosan and the girl was called Yu You. Her father was arrested when she was born to be a tycoon in the Ming Dynasty. Later, she died in the battlefield. Her mother unfortunately encountered a storm while fishing in the river. Only the grandfather and grandson were left to depend on each other for life.
I thought it was Li Changdong and others who knocked on the door, but I didn't expect that they would wait for them.
"Li Changdong, insulting my Ming army's power..."
Yu Wan did not finish this sentence, but turned to look at Chongzhen.
Of course Chongzhen knew what he wanted to say, so he nodded lightly, "You can do it."
After the emperor's reply, Yu Wan was overjoyed and said to Yu Laosan in a deep voice, "Brother-in-law, please call all the young and middle-aged people in the village here. I want to let those with the surname Li go but never return!"
"What? It's up to you!"
The old man was very straightforward and looked at Yu Wan with wide eyes. This young man was afraid that he would be dizzy after eating the steamed fish without oil!
