Zai Cheng only enjoyed the feeling of being praised like this for a short while, and soon his face darkened: "Rong Lu! Your pockets are well tied. It seems that you are going to wrap up the fifth division?"
"Go back to the Crown Prince, no problem. I have mobilized nearly 40,000 reinforcements. If I eat these 10,000 people, I can't guarantee that they will be completely wiped out. No matter what, I will have to break his muscles and bones..."
"Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will always serve your Majesty to the death!"
"Okay, okay... I know your loyalty, but His Majesty has an order that Ronglu's troops are not allowed to continue attacking. This pocket is out, but they are not allowed to fire..."
ah? Ronglu's men present all screamed in surprise. No one expected to receive such an order. Ronglu opened his mouth to ask questions but saw Zai Cheng raising his hand to stop him.
"Rong Lu! You never know our Majesty's methods. What happens next is up to you... Don't think that I am eating for free because I didn't shoot and rush to the front line. What happens next will open your eyes... "
Zai Cheng turned over and dismounted, and his servants quickly spread a huge woolen Persian carpet on the ground. A folded harness was unfolded, and Zai Cheng sat down on his horse's legs with a golden sword.
After nodding, the eunuch next to him was ordered to run out. Ronglu and the others were watching here. They saw the eunuch took out a lantern, lit it, and started shaking at the edge of the grove!
This is a very rhythmic moving light. The light draws different shapes in the darkness. Ronglu can tell at a glance that this is a communication code.
Over and over, over and over again, over and over again, I don’t know how long it took, maybe ten minutes, maybe eighteen minutes!
The lucky man hiding among the dead could no longer move. He felt that the blood on his body was almost draining along the wound!
No one dared to say a word, and Ronglu didn't know what to say. Suddenly someone shouted, "There is movement... The same light is shining on the opposite side!"
Sure enough, the signal was matched. Another lantern more than a hundred meters away echoed here, and soon a group of black shadows rushed towards the small woods.
"Be careful...beware of the enemy's army..." Ronglu was startled and immediately ordered. The direct descendants of the rebels in the woods raised their rifles to defend themselves. If they faced a powerful enemy, they would wait for Ronglu's order and shoot.
"Slow down! Don't make a move...let the other party's people come over..." Zai Cheng frightened Ichigo and quickly stopped him.
"Prince! Could the other party be an enemy? It's too dangerous... Why don't you hide first?"
"Haha... No need, just watch the show!"
In full view of the crowd, and amid the astonishment of everyone, a group of more than 200 Xishan Battalion troops actually showed up in front of the rebels. Instead of being afraid, they stopped at the edge of the woods.
Ronglu was dumbfounded. His mouth was open so wide that he could clearly see the cavities on his back molars. Who was the officer facing him only ten meters away?
I know Ronglu! It's actually his mother-in-law Nastu?
The atmosphere in the woods suddenly became extremely weird. Nastu and Ronglu stared at each other, not knowing what to do. It took only ten seconds for the two hundred people in the Xishan Camp to come back to their senses.
With a crash, two hundred guns were pointed at the woods, and the two sides suddenly became tense and faced off!
"Hahaha... don't do it, don't do it... Nastu, you don't know me, do you?" Zai Cheng said with a smile and clapped his hands.
Nastu took a closer look and then breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "Oh...it turns out to be Cheng Beile from the capital? Judging from your thin appearance, your bones have been softened by women, right?"
"You..." Zai Cheng sat up from the saddle angrily, pointed at him and said, "Don't think I can't deal with you..."
"Haha... I'm not here to talk nonsense with you. I want to talk about serious things..."
Ronglu's brain was no longer enough, it was like a frying pan. He looked at the scene in front of him and said to himself, these two people look like they know each other?
Nastu dares to appear here, which means that this guy must have a deal with His Majesty. Isn't this guy a loyal minister of Emperor Tongzhi? He actually secretly colluded with the rebels?
But if this kid wanted to rebel against Emperor Tongzhi, why would he be so disrespectful to the Crown Prince? Why does it look like there is some deep hatred?
Are they friends or foes? What the hell is going on? Ronglu was completely crazy, and so were his people!
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, suddenly there were hurried footsteps from the south of the woods, and a low and tired voice sounded. Everyone present heard the sound and knelt down.
"Nastu... you are finally here. I have always missed you..."
Emperor Guangxu! Devil Liu Yimin! Minister Wang, the former Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty, was the first person in the new style of diplomacy! The absolute protagonist of this war finally appears!
Everyone at the scene knelt down, even Nasitu knelt down. The thin Yi Xin appeared in front of everyone, and Zai Cheng quickly asked his father to sit on the horse.
At this moment, an even more shocking scene happened. Nastu suddenly walked with his knees as his feet, walked a few steps on his knees and knelt in front of Yixin, crying.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Hold! Ronglu and others were completely shocked, and there were ten thousand words in their hearts. No one expected that this play would be played like this? Why would Nastu call the devil Liu Yimin Ama?
Yi Xin let Nastu hold her legs, tears falling down her cheeks, "You have suffered... You have really suffered in these years!"
Yixin held Nastu's head and said to Ronglu and others, "You don't know... you don't know anything!"
"I am forty-four years old this year... Nastu is twenty-six years old this year. He is in the prime of life. Do you all think he is the Queen of the Eight Banners of Mongolia?"
"Actually not...Nastu is actually the child I had with a palace maid when I was young. He is my first son!"
"The year my father passed away, I happened to be seventeen years old. I had already established a house and was already living outside the palace!"
"That was the most difficult and critical moment for the heir apparent. Since our father is ill, we, as princes, naturally have to be filial, so we must fast and not touch women or wine..."
"But...but I couldn't control it for a while, and I favored a palace maid that year. I knew that if I let Xizuo investigate this matter and report it to my fourth brother, then there would be no hope for me to win the throne. !”
"When the time comes, my father will scold me to death... Of course, I am reluctant to let this palace maid die. I am not that cruel!"
"So she was sent out of the palace, announced to the outside world that she had died of illness, and reported a sudden death... I thought that after I ascended the throne, I would give her a new identity and then join the palace..."
"What happened next... You all know that I failed to seize the rightful son... My fourth brother became the emperor, which is our Emperor Xianfeng!"
"Hey...son! These thirty years have been hard on you two..."
