"General Liu, you are very secretive." Chang Yu rode up to the camp and looked at Liu Xiyao coldly.
"Master Du Gong, where did you say that?" Liu Xiyao had met Chang Yu before but didn't know his identity. He only realized it after Song Xiance returned to the camp. At this time, he was a little confused when he heard Chang Yu's words, but he knew this Nothing good will happen if the eunuch comes.
"Since Li Chuang is here, why do you need to hide? It seems that the governor is rude and petty, and you are too unreasonable." Chang Yu snorted coldly. His purpose of saying this was of course not to accuse Liu Xiyao, but to deceive Liu Xiyao for confirmation. Let’s take a look at whether Li Zicheng is here or not. After all, everything is speculation now.
But Liu Xiyao is not a three-year-old child. When he first heard his words, he was really upset. Knowing that Li Zicheng's whereabouts were exposed, when he was about to make a joke, he also had a flash of inspiration. If King Chuang was captured at this time, the eunuch would be in pain. He came to chat with him. He must be interrogating Li Chuang in the city or entering the palace to report his merits.
"I wonder where Lord Du Gong said this. When did King Chuang come?" Liu Xiyao's puzzled look told Chang Yu that this was also an old fox. If he couldn't deceive him in the first sentence, there was no need to continue deceiving him. .
"No matter how deep the water is for you, I will still see the bottom." As he said this, he looked northwest and saw several battalions in the East Factory galloping more than a hundred meters away. Liu Xiyao felt the killing intent emanating from Chang Yu and couldn't help but fight. He was shocked: "Master Governor, what happened?"
"Good thing." Chang Yu smiled slightly and signaled to Wang Zhengnan next to him. Immediately, a large number of gangsters were about to break into the camp. Liu Xiyao was shocked and quickly led people to stop them. But at this moment, Tu Yuan and others were approaching and waved their hands. Surround the entire military camp.
"I've been ordered to search the camp, General Liu should cooperate." Tu Yuan rode forward, looked at Liu Xiyao and smiled coldly: "As for whose order you are following, there is no need to talk nonsense."
"What you are doing is too much. The two countries are at war..." Before Liu Xiyao could finish his words, Tu Yuan dismounted and walked up to him. He slapped Liu Xiyao so hard that his eyes flashed, and he shouted angrily: "Two Country? There is only one Ming Kingdom in these thousands of miles of land! How come there are two countries! If you lie again, I will kill you even if I am punished!"
Tu Yuan was so powerful that Liu Xiyao was suddenly frightened.
Chang Yu was very satisfied and said calmly: "Let your people abandon their weapons and line up for search. If there is any resistance, the camp will be slaughtered!"
Immediately, the Black Tiger Camp entered Liu Xiyao's military camp and began to search. Although they did not dig three feet into the ground, they were not far away. Chang Yu and Hao Yaoqi also entered the camp to screen Liu Xiyao's men one by one, because they were the only ones who knew Li Zicheng. .
However, after all the hard work, nothing came of it.
Li Zicheng was not in the camp, and Liu Xiyao did not admit that Li Zicheng had entered the capital.
"Could our inference be wrong?" Sujing and Wang Zhengnan whispered by the Yongding River. Chang Yu shook his head slightly: "No, he is here."
"Is there any new clue that makes you so sure?" Su Jing asked, Chang Yu shook his head: "The appearance described is that of Li Chuang, and the second is the feeling. The governor has a very strong feeling that Li Chuang is indeed here." .
Su Jing, who had always been quarrelsome with Chang Yu, actually nodded slightly. She believed in this feeling, and people like them believed in the mysterious and mysterious feeling.
Chang Yu looked back at the city of Beijing in the distance. Since he was not in the military camp, there were only two possibilities. Either he had not left the city yet, or he had left the city to go elsewhere. If he was still in the city, it would be difficult to fly, but if he was After leaving the city, where will he go? Well, he must have a stronghold elsewhere outside the city, but how far can he escape in such a short time?
So Chang Yu immediately ordered the fifth battalion of Dongchang to conduct a carpet search within a radius of 20 miles around the capital. Every household in every village should not be spared. He also asked Fanzi to go into the city to inform Chunxiang to interrogate the details and have them recruited as soon as possible. Leave the stronghold outside the city.
The city was turned upside down. A large number of Jin Yiwei, Dongchang fans, soldiers and horsemen, businessmen and even the three religions and nine schools joined forces to search the city. The noise was so big that it even alarmed Emperor Chongzhen in the imperial city, so he sent someone to ask Wu Mengming. Knowing that it was Chang Yu who ordered the search for the thief.
The hunt for a thief was such a big deal. Although Emperor Chongzhen knew that Chang Yu was motionless and his movements were shocking, but when he heard that Li Zicheng was being hunted, he couldn't sit still and his jaw almost dropped in shock. Thief, this is not a joke, how could a thief be in the capital...
When he was sure that he was really searching for Li Zicheng, Emperor Chongzhen immediately became excited. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He paced back and forth in the Qianqing Palace, muttering to himself: "If we really capture the intruder, I will give it to Chang Yu." Become a high official, be a king or a marquis..."
"Your Majesty, you can't say this nonsense. You are not joking. If this word spreads..." Wang Chengen persuaded in a low voice, Emperor Chongzhen blew his beard and stared: "What will happen if it spreads? If it spreads, I will really seal Chang Yu." , it is said that it is harder to conquer the world than to defend it. Although he was not the founder of the country, he still served the country well. What is wrong with using his merits to make kings and marquises... How could this intruder suddenly break into the capital? Woolen cloth?"
Ahem, Wang Chengen didn't dare to follow Emperor Chongzhen's previous words. Seeing him change the subject, he continued: "As the old saying goes, thieves are bold, and a thief with the word "chuang" in his name is even more lawless. It happened to be during this time Maybe he wants to make peace...or maybe he is being humiliated repeatedly by Eunuch Chang and wants to regain his position. Eunuch Chang often runs to his territory..."
"Whatever belongs to him belongs to the Ming Dynasty," Emperor Chongzhen retorted angrily. Wang Chengen quickly slapped himself: "This old slave made a mistake..."
"That's all." Chongzhen waved his hands impatiently and couldn't help laughing: "If Chang Yu is more courageous than him, he is also a thief..."
Still nothing.
In the Dongchang Yamen, after hearing the reports from various quarters, Chang Yu frowned and sighed: "You are worthy of being my rival!"
This is an affirmation of Li Zicheng, who is bold, careful, alert and meticulous.
It seemed that he finally escaped from the city, but he couldn't escape very far in such a short time. There were thousands of people searching outside, so there was still a chance.
Song Xiance was taken to Dongchang Yamen, and with him was Li Muxian. After drinking in the tavern, the two went to the teahouse to continue chatting. Later, they were found by Dongchang Fanzi and brought back. Both of them were worried about this. I was very confused as to why the young eunuch suddenly met him in the Yamen without any hesitation.
"We are only talking about official business today. I admire your Excellency as a person, and I just want to hear the truth." In the Dongchang Yamen, Chang Yu said straight to the point. Although Song Xiance was full of doubts, he still agreed: "But it doesn't hurt to ask."
"Has Li Chuang entered Beijing?" Chang Yu stared at Song Xiance and asked coldly, not missing any expression on his face.
"What the hell, Li broke into the capital?" Li Muxian jumped up and hurriedly asked Wang Zhengnan next to him.
Pfft, Song Xiance laughed: "The Governor is probably joking."
"Do you think I am joking? I don't care where he is now. I just want to know if he has entered the capital, or has been here before?"
"If Lord Du Gong is not joking, then he is suffering from hysteria." Song Xiance smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can the king leave Xi'an without authorization at this critical moment? How can the king risk his life by entering the dragon's pond and tiger's den?"
Obviously Song Xiance is not going to admit it. You said that we only discuss business matters and not personal relationships. After all, I am still Li Zicheng's person and want to be loyal to Li Zicheng.
Chang Yu also thought of this detail: "Mr. Song, to be honest, Li Chuang has escaped. We just want to confirm our speculation." The name was changed from the superintendent to our family. The meaning is obvious, regardless of business matters or personal relationships.
"No." Song Xiance shook his head slightly: "He is not that bold under the Emperor's feet."
Song Xiance was an extremely smart man. When he said he was not here, he neither betrayed Li Zicheng nor deceived Chang Yu.
Li Zicheng is indeed not in the capital now.
But Chang Yu is also an extremely smart person, and he can get things done with just a few clicks.
Song Xiance only said that he was not here. He could only say that just because he was not here now did not mean that he had never been here. This old boy is really cunning.
"Li Chuang has been here before, and Pindao has seen him before!" At this moment, Li Muchian sighed, causing Chang Yu to raise his eyebrows: "Has the Taoist priest seen Li Chuang?".
Li Muxian nodded slightly and looked at Song Xiance: "The person who bumped into Pindao must be Li Chuang."
Song Xiance smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I deny it, the Taoist Priest will not believe it, so why should I distinguish it? The Taoist Priest will just say yes."
Yes, Li Muchian nodded: "Whether you deny it or not, Pindao believes that that person is Li Chuang." Then he told Chang Yu about the incident. When he heard the description of the person's appearance, Chang Yu immediately understood that he must be. It's an intruder, and now I'm sure he's really here!
Song Xiance was sent back to the inn, and Chang Yu asked him not to leave the city within three days.
