Chapter 32

Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Auntie Zhu immediately came to the Piandian, and discussed with Kuang Tianyou and the other three what might happen to them after entering the camp, and how to deal with them.

After discussing it, they put the xenon portable lamp into a small wooden box, and Fei Zhen'e carried it away from the Hall of Martial Arts.

At this time, the sun in the sky was already very westward, slightly dim.

The sun shines through the gunpowder smoke and dust, stretching the figures of Aimee Zhu and his party very long...
outside the city.

Li Zicheng still stayed on the third floor of that restaurant, but he was not as angry as in the afternoon.

Seeing that all the battalions of the Dashun Army suffered heavy losses in the siege battle, but still failed to break into the inner city, Li Zicheng was already considering whether to send troops from each battalion until the large siege equipment was in place tonight before attacking.

But it's not easy for him to speak directly, there is still a step down.

He looked at Li Yan.

As long as Li Yan persuades him again, he will follow the steps and order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

It's a pity that Li Yan didn't seem to notice his eyes, he was looking in the direction of the inner city, wondering what he was thinking.

"Report—!"

A soldier shouted and came galloping on horseback, got off his horse under the restaurant, handed in a command flag and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers please suspend the fighting, and said that they will send the princess to negotiate!"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng was still digesting the information in a daze. Niu Jinxing couldn't help pointing down and scolded: "What officers and soldiers? I, Dashun, are hostile to them. They are officials. Could it be that we are bandits?"

As he said that, Niu Jinxing was going to make a long speech citing scriptures, and Li Zicheng, who had regained his senses, hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, Prime Minister Niu, let me ask him something."

Niu Jinxing hurriedly bowed to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm rude."

Li Zicheng waved his hand, then looked at the messenger downstairs, and asked, "What do they want to talk about?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it seems that I didn't say anything."

Li Zicheng frowned, then relaxed again.

Anyway, he wanted to find a way to withdraw his troops. Since Chongzhen wanted to negotiate, he just talked about it.

But it is strange that Chongzhen sent the princess here.

Could it be that depression played tricks on Li Zicheng?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile, and said, "I think we can talk to them, Mingjin withdraws."

After speaking, he took out a command flag and handed it to Li Laiheng upstairs.

Most of Dashun's generals were illiterate, so they mostly relied on verbal messages for orders.

Oral messages can't be done without evidence, and the order flags of each general are evidence.

Li Zicheng's general orders were also sent by order flags, but they were usually given by young generals from Hai'erying, which was more reliable.

Li Laiheng got the command flag, immediately went downstairs, rode his horse and ran to the north with the messenger.

After a while, the sound of the golden ringing spread throughout the battalions of the Chuang army.

The Chuangjun who were attacking the city retreated like a tide.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were about to lose their hold on the city wall were relieved to see it. Many people sat limply in the bloody water, leaning against the city wall and corpses, never wanting to get up again...
hum~
A dull voice sounded from the Zhengyang Gate, but the extremely thick copper gate slowly opened.

In addition to a group of armored soldiers of the Ming army, there were five other people standing in the front of the city gate, and they were none other than Aimee Zhu and his party.

"call--"

Amidst the dust, Aimee Zhu took a deep breath and almost choked.

Then he spit it out slowly and said, "Let's go."

There were no banners, no guards of honor, and Princess Zhu Yu of Kunxing of Daming led the four of them out of Zhengyang Gate and towards the Chuangjun.

Li Guo, the general of the rear battalion system, was in charge of attacking the south wall of the inner city, assisted by some soldiers and horses of the middle battalion led by Liu Zongmin.

Seeing a few figures coming out from the Zhengyang Gate, Liu Zongmin who was riding side by side with Li Guo said, "The city is about to collapse, I don't know what King Chuang is talking about with the officers and soldiers."

Li Guo squinted his eyes slightly to look at the person walking in the smoke, and said: "It's good to have a talk, just let the soldiers rest, and when the siege equipment is in place after dinner, we can smash the city in one fell swoop."

Liu Zongmin nodded, and also looked at the figures approaching.

Seeing that the leader is really a woman, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You said that Chongzhen is very mean. He actually sent the princess to negotiate. Could it be that he wants to recruit King Chuang as his son-in-law?"

There are not many people in Chuangjun who dare to make fun of Li Zicheng like this, and Liu Zongmin is one of them.

After hearing this, Li Guo said seriously: "Ru Hou, you can just say this in front of your forehead, but don't say it in front of Your Majesty."

Liu Zongmin said indifferently: "Is there anything I can't say? Even if King Chuang accepts the princess, he can still sit in the world. At worst, he will leave Chongzhen with his life."

Seeing that Liu Zongmin didn't listen, Li Guo worried that Liu Zongmin's words would go too far, so he simply stopped answering.

Liu Zongmin felt bored, so he stopped talking.

Not long after, seeing those five people walking to the front of the army formation, Li Guo rode forward and asked loudly, "Is this your Highness the Princess?"

Fei Zhen'e spoke for Aimee Zhu, "It's Aimee Zhu, Princess Kunxing of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Guo looked carefully again, he didn't think these five men could threaten Chuang's army, so he rushed up with a group of elite cavalry.

Suddenly smoke and dust flew up, the ground trembled

Auntie Zhu had never experienced such a scene before, her palms were sweating, her throat was dry, and she couldn't control her fear.

But she remembered the heavy responsibility on her shoulders, so she only clenched the inside of the cloak with both hands, and looked directly at the leader of the pair of elite riders.

A burglar general with a weathered face and a beard, his face is not evil, but it is still daunting.

Seeing this man charging towards him on horseback, only four or five steps away, Auntie Zhu resisted and did not retreat.

She didn't believe that the other party killed her just like that.

Sure enough, as soon as the Chuangjun general pulled the reins, the steed stood up and stopped firmly at a distance of four or five steps.

The Jingqi behind him separated like fish in water and surrounded the five of them.

Immediately, the general got off his horse, clasped his fists at Zhu Wei, and said, "This is Li Guo, the general of Da Shun Zhi, and I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

Li Guo looked a little curious.

This was the first time he saw Daming's princess.

He didn't have the slightest awe, after all, they even cooked and killed the King Fu of Daming, and the rest of the vassal kings and Zhu Ming's clan did not know how many were killed.

Auntie Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her fists together and said, "General Li is polite, take me to see King Chuang."

Aimee Zhu has carefully considered the addressing issue.

Of course, Li Zicheng's identity as Emperor Dashun cannot be recognized, but it is also not good to call him by his first name, so as not to let the bad-tempered intruders beat him to death before seeing Li Zicheng.

So calling Chuang Wang is the best choice.

Seeing that Princess Kunxing was only in her teens and she was extremely beautiful, Li Guo didn't want to make things difficult, nodded immediately, and led the way.

From time to time, he looked back at Aimee Zhu and the others, noticing the bad behavior of Kuang Tianyou and the others, as well as the small box that Fei Zhen'e was carrying.

So he asked as he walked, "I don't know what your highness wants to talk to us about? If you talk about surrender, your majesty has given you a chance before."

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "I'm here to offer a treasure this time. I only hope that King Chuang will give another chance to formal negotiations after seeing the treasure."

treasure?

Li Guo looked at the small wooden box Fei Zhen'e was carrying again.

And secretly guessing what kind of treasure is in the wooden box, but unfortunately I have no idea at all.

So he asked directly: "I don't know what treasure it is?"

Aunt Zhu said: "A rare treasure, when I present it to King Chuang, the general will know about it."

Alien treasure?

Li Guo was even more confused.

Then he didn't ask any more questions, and just walked for a while, before bringing Aimee Zhu and his party to the restaurant where Li Zicheng was.

Then he stood in front of the steps of the restaurant, looked at Aimee Zhu with a smile, and said, "Your Highness, the weapons of your three attendants will be temporarily taken away. In addition, her wooden boxes should be checked first."

Fei Zhen'e said first, "This is a treasure to be dedicated to King Chuang, how can I let you look at it and touch it?"

Li Guo smiled and said nothing.

Auntie Zhu frowned slightly, and then said: "Okay, you can see that it's okay, don't touch it."

Li Guo waved his hand immediately.

So one of him went to take away the weapons of Kuang Tianyou and the other three, and the other went with Li Laiheng to check the small wooden box that Fei Zhen'e was carrying.
