In the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, on the morning of August 14th, the beginning of Mao hour.

With the final follow-up military and civilians in Tashan retreating to the city of Ningyuan, the Ming army had previously headed to the Songjin front line, and now the nearly 100,000 people who could still be controlled were all withdrawn to the Ningyuan front line.

Of course, there must be many defeated soldiers at this time, and the civilians remained in the northern war zone, but they had already lost contact with the main force and were no longer counting.

To deal with these personnel, Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang, Zhang Dou, Yao Gong, Wang Sanzhen and others were much more experienced than Xu Changqing.

The structure of Ningyuan’s defense line is much simpler than that of Songjin.

It is close to the inner and the sea, and Ningyuan City itself is also extremely defenseful, and it extends along Ningyuan City to the east.

It has arrived in Ningyuan and the overall situation has been decided. It is definitely impossible for bigwigs such as Hong Chengchou to ignore the matter. If Xu Changqing is asked to take on serious defense, the area on the seaside of Ningyuan City on the easternmost line has become Xu Changqing's defense zone.

By this time, Xu Changqing had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and finally had time to rest with confidence.

Including Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu and his group can also truly sleep openly.

But the heroes like Xu Changqing and others could sleep well. Big bosses such as Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang, and Zhang Dou, including Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Liu Zhaoji, and Zuo Guangxian, would not have such a good opportunity. Now Ningyuan City's defense is under their control.

Even if they were unhappy, how dare they disobey the current situation again and could only lead their people to work hard.

…

When all the defenses were on track, Huang Taiji's body was also handled thoroughly. An ice spirit shed was built in the square at the entrance of Ningyuan Official Hall. Huang Taiji's body was placed in an ice coffin, including his many personal belongings, the King of the Celestial Flag, for the people of Ningyuan City to visit.

This is also the advice Xu Changqing gave to Hong Chengchou before.

First, stabilize the overall situation and do not rush to report the merits to the court. It will not be too late to report the merits if you keep calm.

In this way, even if there are any changes in life and troubles in the future, there will be better room for coping and powerful explosive power.

The construction of the ice spirit shed was only about to be completed at the beginning of the day. At this time, countless people who had received news had already gathered outside the spirit shed. They wanted to visit the Ningyuan people as soon as possible.

The three servants dressed up, but still couldn't hide their pretty figures and were mixed in the excited crowd.

"Miss, do we really want to see the dead? Is it unlucky to see the dead in the morning?"

The little girl Rui'er is talking.

She is one year younger than Wu Sanmei and is only twelve years old this year. However, her innate powerful genes have made her look graceful and greasy. Her skin is as white as snow. She is far from being polished by the wind and frost of the Liao Dynasty. Instead, she looks like a jasper from a small family that came out of the water town of Jiangnan.

At this time, the servant was dressed up in a cute and frightened manner, and he seemed to be a lively and cute little rabbit.

"Tsk, Rui'er, you're not so timid, are you? What's wrong with the dead in the morning? This is the slave chief Taiji. It was killed by Mr. Xu himself."

Next to him, another little girl who was older than Rui'er suddenly said arrogantly with disdain.

Her appearance is not as delicate as Rui'er, but her figure is taller and fuller, and she has a little white bloodline. She is pretty and a little free and easy. She is Wu Sanmei's other personal maid A Duo.

These two little maids grew up with Wu Sanmei since childhood. They were said to be maids, but in fact they were already in love with sisters, so naturally they were also Wu Sanmei's dowry, and they both became Wu Sanmei's future husband's ban on living room.

Wu Sanmei was also a little nervous at this time.

She is dressed in a servant, and is even more pretty and charming than women's clothing.

To be honest, although she grew up in a military camp since she was a child and had heard of many things like beheading, tests of merit, and executions, she had never seen anyone dead.

Earlier today, when she learned from her second brother Wu Sangui that Xu Changqing had returned, Wu Sanmei was so happy that she almost burst into pieces and was about to find Xu Changqing.

But the second brother told her that everyone is very tired now and must rest. By tomorrow, Xu Changqing will have a rest and go to see Xu Changqing again.

This made Wu Sanmei a little unhappy, but she also understood that what her second brother was right, so she could only suppress her longing for Xu Changqing first and come here to see the fun.

Think about it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After a while, Wu Sanmei finally plucked up the courage and whispered: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it just a dead person! This is Brother Xu's spoil, don't be afraid."

Seeing that his ladies looked so proud, Ruier and A Duo felt much more at ease and were busy gathering together to cheer up.

Just as these three little girls were chatting here, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and wrapped himself tightly was looking at the spirit shed in a very complicated way.

This person is nothing else, but Zhang Ruoqi, the military supervisor!

Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the autumn tigers in Liao are still very vicious, but even if the weather is very hot, Zhang Ruoqi is wrapped tightly, but his whole body, especially deep in his heart, is cold!

After learning yesterday that Xu Changqing had killed Huang Taiji, Zhang Ruoqi had not closed his eyes.

He was really heartbroken, but he never made a decision.

With Zhang Ruoqi's experience, he naturally understood deeply that Xu Changqing's achievements made such great achievements can really be said to have a battle to determine the world. Even if Xu Changqing does not operate, the interest groups surrounding Xu Changqing may have already taken shape.

And Zhang Ruoqi, his mistake in his choice has been excluded for various reasons.

However, Zhang Ruoqi was still a military supervisor. Even though he was defeated at this time, he still had some room for maneuver.

Therefore, Zhang Ruoqi also made a decision for himself to come and check Huang Taiji's corpse!

Even if you know this kind of thing, no matter whether it is Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang, military preparation, or Xu Changqing, they will definitely not dare to fake it.

But what if he could find clues from this?

Then, can we ignore all the previous political mistakes?

"It's time to come, and the corpse of the slave chief is officially opened. Please line up to visit in order!"

At this time, a Thousand General Officer in front of the spirit shed shouted loudly.

Many soldiers around also began to retreat to both sides and gave out the passage into the spirit shed.

"June, I've been queuing for a long time. Let me go in and take a look."

"I've been queuing for a long time, and I'm going to see it too."

"And I, and I..."

The crowd suddenly became turbulent.

The Qiang General on duty had already received instruction and smiled and said, "Of course, it will start soon. However, a certain family also reminds you here that you can only see, not touch! If you dare to touch randomly, you will be fined ten taels of silver! If you still don't obey the command, you will be taken to the army to serve!"

"ah?"

"So cruel?"

The crowd was in a stir, but soon everyone came to be honest.

Ten taels of silver are not a small amount, not to mention being pulled into the army to serve, it must be a coolie.

Everyone just sees something new, how can they feel uncomfortable for themselves?

Not long after, the spirit shed was finally released, and the crowd entered it in order.

The three little girls Wu Sanmei and the others, as well as Zhang Ruoqi and his two followers, were all the first to enter.

It should be noted that things like privilege are omnipresent.

The spirit shed is very large, with a few hundred square meters, filled with ice cubes, which is very cold. Hundreds of soldiers on duty are all wearing cotton jackets.

The decoration inside is also very strange.

There are stairs made of wood everywhere around. In the middle, there is a platform isolated like an island, with a large ice coffin on it.

Standing at the positions of the three little girls Wu Sanmei and the others, you can vaguely see a figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe in the ice coffin, and there are still a lot of black blood stains all over the body.

Next to the ice coffin are several flags and large flags, drawing dragons and phoenixes, which are majestic.

The three little girls followed the strange stairs and soon arrived at a high place, and finally saw clearly the existence in the coffin from a high place.

This is a majestic middle-aged fat man with a pale face and his eyes closed. Although he was carefully restrained, the ferociousness of his erect neck can still be seen.

Even though he was dead, his power seemed to be alive, making people dare not face it.

The three little girls had a lot of things to say, but at this moment, they couldn't say a word, they could only hold hands.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, want to finish the ladder quickly and leave here.

And when they finally circled around the ice coffin and were about to go down.

"ah---"

Rui'er couldn't help but scream, and then she suddenly subconsciously covered her mouth.

Wu Sanmei and A Duo also saw the scene in front of them clearly, and suddenly, they were in a bad mood.

If these three little girls were not close together, relying on each other and supporting each other, I would probably have fallen directly.

I saw that there were countless dead heads placed on the pile of ice behind the soldiers on duty.

Almost all these dead heads are the same, half of them are naked, with money braids, one is more ferocious than the other, and some are even with their eyes open, looking like a ghost.

The three little girls no longer dared to stay here, so they hurriedly left, and finally came out of the spirit shed from the exit on the other side, which was just a big breath of breath.

It's so scary, it looks like the underworld.

I'm afraid they'll all have nightmares tonight.

And behind the three little girls, Zhang Ruoqi, who was wrapped tightly, was much more indifferent.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw these heads placed like a capital temple, and his brows frowned.

I don’t know who came up with this trick, but his heart is so despicable!
