Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 65 What if the princess was kidnapped?
A group of strange people lived in an inconspicuous farmyard on the edge of Tongzhou Wharf.

Except for a middle-aged man with a white face and a beardless face and a little girl, the rest of these people are all young and strong.

If someone pays close attention, they will find that they do nothing all day long and only wander around Tongzhou Wharf and the county town.

In the main room, several people were gathering together and talking about something.

"Fang Gonggong, a group of thieves came suddenly. There are more than 200 people. They seem to be quite elite, but they seem to be all women." A man said to the middle-aged man sitting at the top.

"They're all women?" Fang Zhenghua frowned after hearing this, and said immediately: "Among the thieves, there are only two female leaders, one is Gao Guiying, the wife of the thief Li, and the other is the red lady who is the head of the Henan thief. These two people are most likely to come subordinate."

Another person who looked like a scholar asked, "Do you know what they are here for?"

The man said: "Those female soldiers are camping outside the city, they are very vigilant, I dare not approach."

If you don't dare to approach, it is naturally impossible to find out why they came.

"This Tongzhou is getting more and more dangerous." The scholar couldn't help but said.

A tall young man glared at the words, and said, "Liu Xiaolian, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you want to leave before completing your Majesty's will?"

It turned out that this group of people was Fang Zhenghua, Liu Xiaolian and others who stayed at the Tongzhou wharf waiting to join Zhu Yuxi under the secret edict of Chongzhen.

Except for Fang Zhenghua, none of them are big figures.

In fact, even Fang Zhenghua was just one of the dozen or so eunuchs who held pens in the Supervisor of Rituals, and he did not attract much attention.

Therefore, after the Dashun Army invaded the inner city, they each hid themselves. During the few days when the Dashun Army did not easily check the people entering and leaving the city, they disguised themselves out of the city and came to Tongzhou Wharf to join together.

It's just that they have been waiting here for more than ten days, but they still haven't waited for Aimee Zhu.

In addition, Liu Xiaolian and others had doubts about Chongzhen asking them to assist a princess, so naturally they had other thoughts.

For example, Liu Xiaolian suggested that everyone go south as soon as possible, one is to pass on what happened in the capital, and the other is to help the south fight against the pseudo-shun, and even the Northern Expedition to retake the capital.

Li Zhenwu, the grandson of Li Ruolian who joined the gang later, proposed to find the three princes, and then protect the princes to go south to succeed him, and then plan the Northern Expedition to eliminate the pseudo-shun.

But Fang Zhenghua, Gao Shengqi and four of Chongzhen's bodyguards all believed that fulfilling Chongzhen's will should be the main thing, and Liu Xiaolian and Li Zhenwu didn't want to leave this temporary gang, so I waited at Tongzhou Wharf.

Hearing Gao Shengqi's words, Liu Xiaolian said indifferently: "Your Majesty's will, we must fulfill it, but we shouldn't die in Tongzhou.

Not to mention how the princess escaped from the camp, even if she could, how would she know that she would not be lost to other places?
We can only find the princess more easily if we go south and seek help from the Nanjing court. "

Li Zhenwu's temper is not as hot as Gao Shengqi's, so he frowned and said, "Now we haven't found any of the princess or the prince, so it's really inappropriate to wait here, why not take the risk to go to the capital to find out."

Gao Shengqi said stubbornly: "Your Majesty asked us to wait for the princess to contact us with a mark, there must be a reason!"

Liu Xiaolian sneered, "Your Majesty's arrangement may not be appropriate."

Obviously, Liu Xiaolian was dissatisfied with Emperor Chongzhen in his heart.

Fang Zhenghua, who had never spoken all this time, suddenly asked, "Is Liu Xiaolian going to slander Junfu?"

The eunuch Bingbi is equivalent to the most educated group of eunuchs, and Liu Xiaolian may not be an opponent when it comes to debate.

What's more, Fang Zhenghua occupies Li (Li).

But Liu Xiaolian was not really convinced, he still said lightly: "Don't dare."

Gao Shengqi was furious when he saw Liu Xiaolian like this, he felt that Daming had been corrupted by these scholars, so he was about to curse at him immediately.

Going to hear someone running quickly outside, pushing the door and entering, and said to everyone with a happy face: "The princess is here!"

The person who came was Li Cheng, one of the four guards who enshrined the secret edict of Chongzhen.

The four guards took turns monitoring the marks they left on the pier, and today it was Li Cheng who was guarding them.

Hearing this, the rest of the people were all taken aback, but Fang Zhenghua got up and asked urgently, "Did you see the contact sign, or did you see the princess herself?"

"I see you all!" Li Chengdao, "I watched the princess add a joint mark next to the mark we left! But...the princess is accompanied by a few women, armed with swords, bows and crossbows, unlike ordinary people."

Gao Shengqi said: "What's so strange about the princess being protected by someone? Why didn't you take the princess over?"

Liu Xiaolian said: "It's best that he didn't meet with the princess—everyone, with all due respect, the princess was in a camp before, even if she came to meet with us, it's unknown what kind of situation she's actually in.

If she confessed Her Majesty's arrangement to the intruder and was hijacked to join us, and if we showed up rashly, I'm afraid we would fall into the hands of the intruder. "

At the end, he looked at Li Cheng sharply.

Through getting along with each other these days, Li Cheng knew that although Liu Xiaolian was a scholar, he was quick-witted, calm in doing things, and could even be said to be ruthless.

Therefore, seeing Liu Xiaolian's opinion, Li Cheng immediately said: "I was also worried about the princess being kidnapped, so I came back and told everyone without showing up."

No one wants to fall into the hands of intruders.

So even Gao Shengqi, who was more staunch and impulsive, frowned for a while and remained silent.

After a while, Fang Zhenghua said: "Since the princess has come as promised, it is not a good idea for us not to meet. In this way, our family will meet with the princess to understand her situation.

If the princess is really kidnapped, everyone should not show up, just look for an opportunity to go south. "

"What about the princess and the eunuch?" Zhang Sheng, the head of the four guards, asked with a frown.

Fang Zhenghua said: "Our family and the princess are not ordinary people after all, so we should be able to survive the intruders. Our family will stay with the princess to take care of her, and maybe we can find a chance to escape with her in the future."

Apparently, even in Fang Zhenghua's mind, Princess Kunxing Zhu Aimee was a royal girl without any ability, and she couldn't even take care of herself when she fell into the hands of intruders.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Because they knew that Fang Zhenghua would be more likely to survive as an eunuch if he also fell into the hands of intruders and did not surrender, and it would be more convenient for him to take care of Aimee Zhu.

Fang Zhenghua asked Li Cheng, "Where did the princess go after leaving the mark?"

Li Chengdao: "Entered the Sifang Inn not far away."

"Our family understands." Fang Zhenghua nodded, and then clasped his fists at everyone, "Take care, everyone!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard quite chicly.

Although the literati and warriors of the Ming Dynasty didn't feel good about eunuchs, they admired Fang Zhenghua and the others.

One Fang Zhenghua has culture and martial arts, so he can be both civil and military.This kind of person is rare among ordinary people, let alone among eunuchs.

Second, Fang Zhenghua has the highest official position and the widest knowledge among all the people.

Even Liu Xiaolian, who is a Juren, is worse than him.

Now that Fang Zhenghua has bravely risked himself in order to fulfill Chongzhen's will, how can it not be admirable?

But after Fang Zhenghua left the courtyard where the gang was hiding, he didn't hesitate, and went directly to the street to find the Sifang Inn.

After entering the inn, he asked the store manager, "Is there a group of women staying in your store?"

The shopkeeper looked at him and said nothing.

Fang Zhenghua took out a dime and handed it over.

The shopkeeper suddenly laughed, and said: "Yes, I am looking at the house in the backyard, and I don't know if I will stay tonight."

Fang Zhenghua understood it, and immediately went to the backyard.

He knew that there was no other way to get close to the princess except taking risks, so he simply went there directly.

When he arrived in the backyard, he noticed seven or eight women with swords and bows. As Li Cheng said, they looked unusual, and they should have killed people on the battlefield.

Then he saw two women and the waiter coming out of a room.

The tall girl among them was indeed very similar to Princess Kunxing in his impression.

He walked over immediately.

Immediately, two women stopped him with their knives drawn and stared at him scrutinizingly.

Aimee Zhu has only seen Fang Zhenghua a few times in recent years, so her impression is rather vague.

But middle-aged beardless men are rare in this era, and they are usually eunuchs.

So after taking a second look at Fang Zhenghua, she felt that this was probably the person who wanted to connect with her.

So he said: "Hong Niangzi, this should be the person I'm looking for, let him come here."
