Deshengmen, the four-person secret base residence.

As time passed by minute by minute, Zhou Kui was a little restless and walked around the room.

Wei Zaode couldn't help but speak: "The father-in-law should sit down and rest. You always sway in front of me, which made me feel a little nervous."

Zhou Kui snorted, sat down with some displeasure, and said, "When is it now?"

Cao Huachun said: "There are two quarters of an hour (about 30 minutes) away."

Zhou Kui murmured: "Why is this time so long? It's really hard to endure."

Cao Huachun smiled slightly and said, "This is the last trace of darkness before dawn, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Zhou Kui smiled rare: "Yes, it's really a pleasure to think that I will come back all my husband's property tomorrow!"

Wei Zaode looked at Zhou Kui, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Birdbye Zhou, you are Your Majesty's father-in-law after all. After all, do you have no feeling at all?"

Zhou Kui sneered and said, "I have too many daughters, how can I feel? Besides, the water splashed by a married daughter will be the worst. In the future, I will find a way to give a daughter to the King of Chuang or his son. By the way, don't argue with me at that time."

Wei Zaode remained silent.

Cao Huachun looked at Wei Zaode coldly and suddenly said, "What, can Lord Wei still have feelings for this Ming Dynasty?"

Wei Zaode noticed the murderous intent faintly revealed in Cao Huachun's words, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "I am already sitting here. What else do you think I can have for the Ming Dynasty? I just...ah, I don't know what kind of future it will be for Dashun to become an official in the future."

After listening to Wei Zaode's words, the other two were silent.

After all, they really don’t know enough about the new masters of Dashun and Li Zicheng.

Cao Huachun suddenly felt a little upset, stood up and said, "Our family went out to see the manpower outside. Now the uprising is about to happen, so there can be no mistakes."

The other two did not object, and just watched Cao Huachun leave quietly.

Cao Huachun walked out of the lobby and came to the back of the mansion. This place was originally a small garden, but now it is suitable to accommodate so many people.

Most of these people sat or stood, and occasionally whispered, and the order was quite orderly.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun felt much more at ease.

At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the gate, followed by someone’s screams.

"Who is actually trespassing here!"

Cao Huachun felt nervous, someone broke in?

He subconsciously rushed towards the gate.

Before I could take two steps, I heard a young man who was a little immature but full of murderous intent.

"The Ming Dynasty official army received the imperial edict and carried out affairs, and everyone surrendered immediately. Anyone who resisted was killed without mercy!"

Cao Huachun squatted directly.

He was very familiar with this sound and often appeared in his nightmare.

"Ta, Prince? Why is he here?" Cao Huachun was stunned.

A few screams came, and then a large number of official troops appeared in Cao Huachun's sight.

Looking at the powerful crossbows and swords in the hands of the officials, Cao Huachun's legs became weak, he knelt down with a thud, and screamed at the top of his throat.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

...

The brief and fierce battle ended in ten minutes.

In front of the prepared Ming official army, these hundreds of temporarily gathered mobs were no match for the enemy. Some were killed on the spot, most of them chose to surrender, and a very small number of lucky people escaped in the chaos, but they could no longer affect the overall situation.

Zhu Ciyang sat in the lobby with a big golden sword, staring at Cao Huachun, Wei Zaode and Zhou Kui who were tied up in front of him and knelt down in a row. The pistols kept spinning in their palms, and smiled at the three of them with teeth: "Didn't you expect it?"

Zhou Kui barely maintained his composure and said, "What does the prince mean? He is not afraid of His Majesty knowing by trespassing into a private house and killing the people?"

Zhu Cixuan laughed sarcastically: "My good father-in-law, you still want to be stubborn at this time? Let me tell you, your intention to collude with Wang Huamin to sacrifice the city to Li Zicheng has been exposed, idiot!"

As soon as the name Wang Huamin was spoken, Zhou Kui and the other three suddenly turned pale.

Wang Huamin is not present now, but Zhu Cilang accurately said his name and all the plans of the four people, which only means that everything was indeed exposed.

Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and said, "We are innocent. You are slandering. I want to meet the emperor and shout for injustice!"

Zhu Ciyang shook his head and looked at Zhou Kui as if he was looking at an idiot: "Do you think I don't know what you think? You just want to delay time and wait for the spies you arranged on Deshengmen and the thieves outside the city to cooperate inside and outside, right?

Now it's almost time to go. Once Deshengmen is taken down, maybe Li Zicheng's thieves will be able to come into the city to rescue you, right?"

Zhu Cixuan threw out two questions in a series of ways, which immediately made Zhou Kuiru hit by lightning.

At this moment, Li Guozhen rushed into the lobby and bowed to Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, there are indeed spies arranged by these people on Deshengmen, and they have been arrested and dealt with by the ministers."

Li Guozhen's armor was still stained with a lot of blood, but it probably didn't seem to be his blood.

After hearing Li Guozhen's words, Zhou Kui suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The insiders of Deshengmen were all washed away. How could the rebels enter the city next?

It's over, it's all over!

Not only Zhou Kui, but also Cao Huachun and Wei Zaode looked miserable.

Zhu Cilang nodded to Li Guozhen, then stood up, walked to Zhou Kui and the other two, and spoke coldly.

"Zhou Kui, you are the father-in-law; Wei Zaode, you have been the chief assistant; Cao Huachun, you have been in charge of the literati supervisor.

To be fair, the Ming Dynasty is waiting for you! But how did you give back to the Ming Dynasty? In addition to betrayal, it is also betrayal!

Come on, take all these three traitors back to the palace and let your father send someone to interrogate them!"

Zhu Cilang waved his hand and came in from the East Factory and dragged the three of them out.

When Li Guozhen watched the three of them being dragged away, he wiped his sweat and said to Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, although I have had contact with these people, I have absolutely no intention of treason!"

Zhu Cilang looked at Li Guozhen with a smile and said, "Xiangcheng Bo, if you really get along with them, hahaha..."

Zhu Cilang's laughter immediately made Li Guozhen's back feel cold, and he was extremely grateful.

At this time, Li Guozhen had already understood that in fact, the Dongchang man was also secretly monitoring Li Guozhen!

If this is true, once Li Guozhen gets involved, he will think the final outcome will be the same as Zhou Kui and others.

Li Guozhen knelt down with a thud and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Why is it said that Zhu Ciyang is merciful? Because if Zhu Ciyang is willing, he can easily break up Li Guozhen and the four-member group into a party. By that time, Li Guozhen will be really done with the four-member group.

Zhu Cilang looked at Li Guozhen with a slightly softer face.

Although Li Guozhen's evaluation in history books is actually quite controversial, at least he has passed this level.

No one is available at the moment, so let’s use this Li Guozhen for the time being.

Zhu Cixuan's tone was a little slower, and he said lightly: "Xiangcheng Bo, the thief army will arrive soon. Let's think about how to deal with the thief army's attack."
