Du Xun was sitting in a hanging basket and was soon carried up the city wall. When the meritorious eunuch of Dashun Dynasty approached the crenel, Zhu Chunchen stretched out his hand to give him a hand with a smile on his face, and said to him in a flattering tone: "Be careful, be careful, hold on tight..."
Although Du Xun has been in charge of Shangshan Supervisor for many years, he is not greedy, so he is not fat and is very flexible. Borrowing some strength from Zhu Chunchen, he climbed up to the top of the city. As soon as he stood firm, he heard a young and gloomy voice calling his name.
"But Du Xun, the eunuch guarding Xuanfu?"
This tone sounds a bit unkind!
Du Xun looked up and saw a young man with a golden helmet standing in front of him, holding a sword with one hand and waving at him with the other.
This is... Du Xun looked intently, and it turned out to be the Crown Prince Zhu Cihong!
This, how is this possible! ?
How could Zhu Cixiang go up to Fuchengmen Tower? Isn't he afraid of Li Zicheng? Moreover, he was still smiling at himself, and he was smiling so horribly, grinning through gritted teeth... At this moment, Du Xun had the urge to turn around and leave.
"Master Qiansui, this old slave is Du Xun..." He couldn't leave, so Du Xun had no choice but to kowtow to Zhu Cihong and salute.
"Okay, okay, come here, come here and talk!" Zhu Cixiang was still smiling and waved to Du Xun with a smile, "come here, come here, come here quickly..."
This prince doesn’t seem right! The prince Zhu Cixiang in Du Xun's memory was a very honest person, just like a little Chongzhen! But why does this prince look so scary now? Doesn't he want to kill himself?
Although he was scared in his heart, Du Xun still had to keep his face tight. Don't show your cowardice now, otherwise your life will really be gone.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be calm and strode towards Zhu Cixiang. When he arrived, he was about to salute again, but Zhu Cixiang grabbed his wrist.
"Don't talk yet, don't say anything at all!" Zhu Cixiang smiled and said to Du Xun, "Let's go behind the arrow tower to talk... Cheng Guogong, Wu Xiang, Wang Qi, you can come together too."
Du Xun had no choice but to bite the bullet and was led by Zhu Cixiang from the front of the Fuchengmen Archery Tower to the back of the Archery Tower.
There were many defensive soldiers in the front of the archery tower, and there were many leather boxes piled in the back, which were full of silver. There were also Jingjun and Zhu Cixiang's East Palace guards guarding them, and Zhu Cixiang's accompanying eunuch Qiu Zhizhong was also watching there.
Seeing Zhu Cihong, Zhu Chunchen, Wu Xiang, Wang Qi and Du Xun walking together, he was stunned: "Eunuch Du, haven't you already..."
Zhu Cixiang waved his hand at him and said with a smile: "Du Banban is now an envoy sent by King Chuang... Qiu Banban, please take the irrelevant people away first. I and Wang Banban have something to say." .”
"Here." Qiu Zhizhong didn't ask any further questions, and immediately led the guards and Jingjun who were guarding the silver to retreat. Only Zhu Cihong, Zhu Chunchen, Wu Xiang, Wang Qi and Du Xun were still behind the arrow tower.
Zhu Cixi then asked Du Xun with a smile: "Tell me."
Du Xun's expression when he saw Zhu Cihong was wrong. His smile was stiff and his eyes were sharp and scary. But he couldn't leave, so he had to bite the bullet and kowtow to Zhu Cihong again: "I risk my life to go to the city this time just to be loyal to the Holy Lord and Qiantui Master." , offering the power of dogs and horses..."
Zhu Cixiang still had a stiff smile on his face: "I know, I know, I know what you are going to do... If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."
The more Du Xun looked at Zhu Cixiang, the more furious he became. He wanted to see Chongzhen as soon as possible, so he said with the intention of intimidation and threats: "Master Qiansui, that slave is about to say some unfaithful advice. Li Zicheng personally led 200,000 When elite troops invaded the capital, there were still hundreds of thousands of troops to support them. Now all the capital could count on was Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of Guan Ning border soldiers. But the number of Guan Ning border soldiers was too small to defeat the hundreds of thousands of rogue bandits... So , so today’s capital cannot count on Wu Sangui!”
Zhu Cixiang was still laughing: "Keep going, keep talking!"
Du Xun knew that something was wrong, that the prince in front of him was a little abnormal...but he had no choice but to make up his mind and said to Zhu Cixiang: "But Li Zicheng's conscience has not been extinguished, and the purpose of attacking the capital this time is not to seize the Holy Emperor and the emperor." Qiantose Master is the best in the world..."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, yes... Then Li Zicheng actually knew that the capital was easy to get but difficult to defend. Even if he could attack the capital, the people of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be angry with each other and vow to avenge the emperor. And the Manchus outside the pass would definitely take the opportunity to invade Jifu, He is surrounded by enemies from both sides, making it difficult for him to look at his head and tail..."
"Haha!" Zhu Cixi laughed out loud.
Du Xun continued: "So Li, Li Zicheng did not come here to seize the capital, but to force the Holy Emperor to make him the king of Qin and Jin. As long as the Holy Lord agrees, he is willing to lead his army out to fight against the prisoners and pacify Liaodong... ...Master Qiantai, I think this is an opportunity to save the Ming Dynasty!"
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Cixiang laughed, "I didn't expect you, an eunuch, to be so talented... It's a pity that my father doesn't know how to employ people. He should let you strategize, and shouldn't let you go to the Xuan Mansion to supervise the army."
What's the meaning? Du Xun was confused.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and walked a few steps, walked around behind Du Xun, and said in a gentle tone: "Du Banban, straighten up!"
Straighten up? Although Du Xun didn't understand what Zhu Cihong wanted to do, he still straightened up. Then he heard a clang, which seemed to be the sound of a sword being unsheathed! Du Xun hurriedly looked back and saw that Zhu Cixiang, who was wearing a golden helmet, had a sharp sword in his hand, with a murderous look on his face, and the sword was pointed straight at him.
Killed!
The Crown Prince is going to kill someone!
Du Xun and everyone who saw this scene were shocked!
Others were fine, but they were frightened by Zhu Cixiang who went on a murderous rampage. Du Xun was miserable. Before he could react, the sword suddenly penetrated his back. This hurt!
Du Xun screamed and was about to stand up from the ground, while Zhu Cixiang shouted: "Wang Qi! Wu Xiang! Help!"
Wang Qi, a big guy who had never killed anyone before, was stunned and unresponsive. Wu Xiang was still more powerful. He rushed forward and hugged Du Xun's head. He turned around suddenly and broke his neck with a click. Du Xun immediately collapsed, like a puddle of mud.
Zhu Cixiang was already in a daze at this time. His sword seemed to be stuck in Du Xun's ribs, unable to move forward or retreat. Du Xun was lying on the ground, not sure if he was dead or not? At the same time, Zhu Cixi only felt waves of nausea... It was so difficult to kill someone! It seems that I still need to practice more in the future!
At this time, Wu Xiang also saw Zhu Cixiang pulling out the sword with force and knew that it was stuck. But he didn't go to help, and just stayed there.
Zhu Cixiang is only sixteen years old! He still grew up in a deep palace... I guess he didn't even kill a chicken, and now he went on a killing spree! Moreover, he acted very carefully, arranged helpers, deceived the person into a secluded place, used words to disarm the other person, and then struck suddenly!
It's so cruel... Now you don't have to worry about the prince not being able to subdue that wild girl, Third Sister!
Zhu Cixiang had already pulled out his sword at this time, and blood spurted out and splashed all over his face. He didn't wipe it away. He just gasped for a few times and suddenly pointed his sword at Zhu Chunchen, who was standing by and was stunned: "Cheng Guo male!"
"I, I'm here..." Zhu Chunchen was so frightened that he almost pissed himself. The prince really killed someone! There is still blood on the sword!
"come here!"
"No, no..." Zhu Chunchen stepped back.
"Come here!" Zhu Cixiang shouted angrily.
Zhu Chunchen's legs went weak and he knelt down. He said incoherently: "Master Qiansui, please don't kill me. I know I was wrong. When I was the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, I was greedy for a lot of money. I even took the money from Shiba Zhi and Wu Sangui." Bribery... I am willing to give up all my dirty money, just to ask for mercy from Lord Qiantose!"
Zhu Cixi laughed when he heard this: "Okay, you are a loyal minister again! Don't be afraid, Duke, I am not trying to kill you. You are a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty. I will not kill loyal ministers... Come over and help me do it." Something.”
"What do you want me to do?" Zhu Chunchen couldn't get up, his feet were weak from fear! He had no choice but to wave to Wang Qi and ask the latter to help him up, and then moved to Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong pointed at Du Xun on the ground and said, "Cut his head off! Will you?"
"Ah..." Zhu Chunchen opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
Zhu Cixiang turned to Wu Xiang and said: "Old Taishan, teach this Beijing camp commander how to cut off people's heads! After teaching him, he will send people to raid Du Xun's house... He has been in charge of Shangshan Supervisor for many years, so he must be very talented. For the money, let the ministries guarding Fuchengmen today send people to copy it. I only need one hundred thousand taels, and the rest will be left to each department."
