Zhou Zheng, Man Gui, Zhao Rujiao, Cao Bianjiao led his army to pursue Amin and Yue Tuo, and kept chasing Tongzhou and chasing straight towards Zunhua.

The evacuation of Huang Taiji outside Jizhou still touched the thoughts of some people in Jizhou, and it also forced Zhou Zheng and others, and even Lu Xiangsheng, and Cao Wenzhao to stop.

That is the Shanxi Governor Wang Yuanya, and the general Zhu Guoyan did not hold back and sent troops to pursue Huang Taiji without authorization. He was defeated by Jirgalang's ambush, pursued by the cavalry, had no choice but to escape, and committed suicide.

Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui, Zhou Zheng and others joined forces to confront Jiergalang. Jiergalang did not get too entangled and quickly turned around and left.

The cavalry was so fast that Zhou Zheng could not chase me, so I could only follow along the way.

It was not until December 25 that the Jianlu army completely withdrew from Xifengkou.

Yuan Chonghuan gathered all the troops and when Chongzhen arrived, he continued to dismiss the troops and returned to his hometown.

Even Zhou Zheng was asked to return to Yongping Mansion immediately and was not allowed to stay.

It is obvious that the court was quite afraid of the more than 200,000 troops.

But before Zhou Zheng returned to the Yongping Prefecture Office in Lulong County, he had just entered the Yongping Prefecture territory, when Chongzhen suddenly gave an order to surrender.

The emperor ordered Zhou Zheng to enter the capital and to give him rewards.

Zhou Zheng, Cao Bianjiao, Shangguan Lie and others were resting in the same place. When they heard this order, the three of them looked different.

Shangguan Lie was covered with bandages everywhere, and he was grinning and grinning as he sat. He looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Sir, what does the imperial court mean? Since you want to receive the reward, why do you need us to return to your hometown? How far is Yongping Mansion from the capital?"

Yongping Prefecture belongs to Beizhili, which is closer than Shanhaiguan to Beijing. What's more, Zhou Zheng is now intact with only three thousand people, and there is a weirdness here.

Zhou Zheng could vaguely guess that he wrote a memorial to apologize on the day he left Jizhou. Now, it is still hard to say whether to ask for the crime or receive the reward.

Cao Bianjiao looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Sir, before I left, my uncle once told me that the emperor ordered Lord Yuan to come to Beijing to discuss military pay. Now he should be in Beijing soon."

Zhou Zheng frowned and sighed softly in his heart, "What should come?"

Compared to Yuan Chonghuan, Zhou Zheng is still an inconspicuous little person now. Even if someone maliciously frames him, it is not worthy of Chongzhen's fight. However, Yuan Chonghuan could not escape this disaster.

Zhou Zheng was not worried about himself and asked Xiang Shangguan Lie, "How is Liuzhe?"

Many people followed Zhou Zheng out of the city to fight, and they were injured to varying degrees, but Liu Liuzhe was the worst injured. One arm was almost cut off and was seriously injured. He was in the capital. Zhou Zheng left Jizhou and had not had time to see it.

Shangguan Lie glanced at his right arm and said, "My sister should be fine at the Lord's Mansion. There will be news for any incidents. Don't worry, sir."

Zhou Zheng was not worried. He took a deep breath and looked at him and said, "Return to Yongping Mansion, discuss with Ding Qi, Zhang Heyi, and Yao Tongshun. The money given to the dead and injured brothers must be reduced, and all must be implemented! If someone dares to tamper with it, behead them!"

Listening to Zhou Zheng’s murderous words, Shangguan Lie hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, sir, I will tell them when I go back.”

Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, and there were 10,000 people going out and 3,000 people coming back. There was always an explanation.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao said, "Sir, what should I do now?"

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor's edict cannot be delayed, I can go back to the capital. You will lead the army back to rest. I have no other explanation in government affairs and act according to the plan. Military... I am very cautious and will continue to recruit soldiers and strengthen training, and make up for the shortcomings based on the gains and losses of this battle."

"Yes, I will obey the order!" Cao Bianjiao said in a deep voice.

He is only in his early twenties, and today's battle is his first time participating in command, and he has countless thoughts in his mind.

Zhou Zheng made some arrangements and turned around and returned to Beijing.

Zhou Zheng returned to Beijing without the legendary welcome and the heroic treatment. No one seemed to know except the welcome from the Zhou family.

Zhou Zheng didn't care about these things and went home directly.

Zhou Qingli did not come back from the Ministry of Revenue, so Zhou Zheng first went to see Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang was also seriously injured, with injuries on his arms, abdomen and thighs. He was lying on the bed and unable to move.

Zhou Ding's eyes were red. When he saw Zhou Zheng coming in, he just called out "Second Uncle" and greeted him without the smile he used to.

Zhou Zheng sat in front of Zhou Fang's bed and said, "Is it okay?"

Zhou Fang grinned and said, "What's the matter? You can get out of bed in a while. Don't be as good as your sister-in-law, women will know how to cry."

Zhou Zheng turned around and saw that Zhou Ding was not in the room, and said, "Sister-in-law blamed me for being right. If you accidentally get this battle, you will be trapped in."

Zhou Fang smiled more and said, "So what if I get in? A man is so disappointed if he doesn't leave! You don't know, I feel beautiful now, hehe..."

Seeing that Zhou Fang was fine and had a better mentality, Zhou Zheng stood up and said, "Brother, you're fine, I'll go and see Liuzhe."

Zhou Fang's face suddenly became stern and he said, "Go quickly. Liu Zhe was unconscious the day before yesterday. The doctor said it was dangerous and scared us. Fortunately, it was fine."

Zhou Zheng didn't know yet, so he hurriedly walked towards Liu Liuzhe's room.

As soon as Zhou Zheng entered the door, a woman came out with a basin. When she saw Zhou Zheng, she hurriedly said, "I have met the second young master."

This is Liu Liuzhe's former little lover and the maid of the Zhou family. Later, Zhou Zheng found someone to redeem it and changed his name to Biqing. Liu Liuzhe had not yet married her.

Seeing that her eyes were red and her expression was withered, Zhou Zheng nodded and walked inside.

When Liu Liuzhe saw Zhou Zheng coming in, he was about to get up. Zhou Zheng quickly pressed him down and said, "Learn down."

Liu Liuzhe really couldn't sit up, so he had to lie down, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and there were still traces of blood.

This is the person I trust most after following Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng looked at his arm and said for a while: "Is it okay?"

Liu Liuzhe also glanced at him and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, don't worry, the doctor said that he might not be able to use his strength in the future, and there is no big deal."

In fact, this is also equivalent to being disabled.

Zhou Zheng bit his teeth, swayed his face, his eyes were red, and he said, "I promised at the Anding Gate that I would not change to others, and I would not do anything to you!"

This was the first time that Liu Liuzhe saw Zhou Zheng expressing his true feelings, and said with a smile: "If others don't believe in the Second Young Master, can I still not believe it? I will never spend all the money the Second Young Master gave me."

Zhou Zheng's eyes were wet, and he pressed his shoulders and said, "It's not a silver business."

Liu Liuzhe blinked and looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Yes."

Zhou Zheng saw Biqing come in again and said, "You are almost the same as Biqing. I will ask my father to take charge of your marriage next year."

Liu Liuzhe opened his eyes and said happily: "Thank you, Second Master!"

Biqing was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zheng, and her pale face looked much better. She bowed softly, "Thank you, Master Second."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, sat with Liu Liuzhe for a while, and then left.

He went to Shangguan Qing's room again.

Shangguan Qing still lives in the previous room, and there are two women who are about the same age, wearing tights and are taking care of them.

When the two saw Zhou Zheng coming in, they hurriedly said, "I have met the adults."

Zhou Zheng nodded, and saw Shangguan Qing coming out of the inside. Before she could wait for her to greet him, he observed it and said, "Are you okay?"

Shangguan Qing was still as cold as before, with a cool expression and a normal tone, and said, "It's okay."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Your brother is fine. I will arrange for him to recover from his injuries in Yongping Mansion. If you have any needs, you can tell me directly."

Shangguan Qing blinked his eyes and said in a crisp and firm voice: "I want to lead the army."
