Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 95 Chen Junchong's guess [Please order first! 】

The county seat of Qi County.

Wuxian Temple.

Chen Junchong has been under house arrest here for more than two days.

The guards guarding him knew that he was a good official, so they didn't even provide him with drinking water, but Ma Ke once said that he would starve Chen Junchong to death, and he did not arrange Chen Junchong's food, so the guards guarded him and dared not give him food.

What's more, Chen Junchong insisted on defending the county seat of Qixian County, which indeed caused the death of many of their comrades.

Apart from admiring Chen Junchong as a good official, they also had some hatred.

Inside the Wuxian Temple.

Chen Junchong was lying by the wall, already very weak.

In order to urge the soldiers and civilians to defend the city, he hadn't closed his eyes for several days and nights, and he only drank a bowl of porridge in the morning on the day the city was broken.

Now two or three days have passed, although drinking water has been brought, but there is not a single grain of rice.

Chen Junchong understood that Ma Ke failed to persuade him to surrender twice, and many soldiers died in his hands. He became angry and wanted to starve him to death.

After the age of no doubt, Chen Junchong is not afraid of death.

He was still very worried when he thought of the wind and rain and the precariousness of the Daming.

It's a pity that he is about to die and can no longer contribute to Daming.

Thinking of death, he thought of his two sons.

After all, he had some selfish motives, and sent away his two sons before Ma Ke surrounded Qi County.

It's just that they don't know where they are now, and whether they are safe.

He died just like that, leaving nothing for his sons except a few fields in his hometown.

Then leave a last word.

So Chen Junchong struggled to support the wall, pulled out his sword, and struggled to carve words on the wall.

Although he carved each character very lightly, he still carved very slowly.

He originally wanted to leave a few more words, but he didn't have much energy after all.

So what was finally completed was such a few light scrawled marks——

"I promise the country with my body, and there is nothing else to say when I die."

He wanted to tell his sons that he would die without any regrets if he pledged himself to the country, and there was no need to be sad, let alone avenge him.

Live well.

After leaving these words, Chen Junchong wanted to kill himself immediately, but he had no strength left.

Simply lie down for a while.

Dazed, he regained consciousness again, fearing that he would lose consciousness and starve to death, so he picked up his sword and prepared to kill himself.

At this moment, they vaguely heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching.

Immediately there was the conversation of Shaanxi soldiers.

"Open the door!"

"Do what?"

"The general has an order to save Chen Junchong's life!"

Then there was the sound of the lock being unlocked.

Chen Junchong was in a hurry, thinking: This Ma Ke suddenly wanted to save my life, did he think of how to use me?

So he killed himself anxiously.

It's a pity that he really didn't have the strength, not to mention his slow movements, he managed to pull the sword across his neck, but only cut a layer of skin.

It turned out that the blade on this side was curled too hard.

Chen Junchong turned to the other side of the saber to pull it again, but one person walked over quickly and snatched the saber away.

"What is Chen Gong doing? Hurry up and invite the doctor, and quickly prepare some rice soup!"

The latter sentence is commanding.

Chen Junchong sneered at the general, his strength was weak but his tone was not weak, and he said: "Ma Ke wants to use the old man? Tell him to give up his heart. The old man just knows the state, it's useless."

The general shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "Mr. Chen misunderstood, my general is now anyway, and Mr. Chen is a family."

Chen Junchong was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at the general in a daze for a while, before he sneered and said, "It's Ma Ke's trick again, right? Is it still possible to pretend to be an officer and enter Chengdu?"

The general was speechless.

He felt that it was difficult to explain what happened to Ma Ke anyway, and he didn't dare to say anything about the princess.

So he said: "When Mr. Chen regains some strength, I will take you to meet a man in the Santai barracks, and you will understand everything."

Chen Junchong was deeply impressed by Ma Ke's cunning, and he didn't think anyone else could turn things around at this time.

Then he sneered and said, "Alright, the old man wants to see what tricks he can use."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and lay down heavily.

···
In the morning of the next day, Chen Junchong was carried by the soldiers to the Santai military camp.

After a night of recuperation, he has recovered a lot and can stand and walk, but his body is still weak.

After all, he is already in his fifties.

On the way, Chen Junchong kept thinking about what tricks Ma Ke would have.

A few days ago, the news that the capital was captured by the Dashun Army and that Chongzhen was martyred for the country had only spread to Central Shu, but there was no mention of the three princes.

Thinking of this, Chen Junchong couldn't help thinking: Could it be that Ma Ke wants to surrender me as a prince?
But I'm just a knowledge of the state, shouldn't it be worth Li Chuang's use of the prince?
That is, Ma Ke asked someone to pretend to be the prince, trying to deceive me, and then entered Chengdu under the name of me and the fake prince?

Thinking of this, Chen Junchong couldn't help frowning.

If this is the case, he can't die easily, he must bear it, so that he can expose Ma Ke's tricks under the city of Chengdu.

Not long after, Jianyu arrived at the military camp outside Santai Town.

What surprised Chen Junchong was that the camps here were obviously divided into two places, one with the handsome flag of "horse" and the other with the handsome flag of "red". In addition, the sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty were also hung.

Seeing this, Chen Junchong couldn't help thinking: Ma Ke changed the flag to deceive me, even if it was only temporarily, it must be a big picture.

As for Ma Ke's return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, Chen Junchong thinks it is completely impossible.

One is that now Dashun occupies the north, and Dashun has the potential to dominate the world and replace the Ming Dynasty.

Second, since Ma Ke had already surrendered to Dashun, he might not be rewarded if he returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, but would be more likely to be punished.

How could Marco do such a thankless job?
Walking all the way into the barracks, Chen Junchong observed carefully, and felt that the soldiers in this battalion should undoubtedly be Chuangjun, because many of them still had the style of Chuangjun or peasant army in armor.

In front of the big tent in the army, Chen Junchong saw a group of female soldiers, and they all looked tough.

'Could it be that General Qin has arrived? '

Chen Junchong instantly thought of another possibility.

Because in his impression, only Qin Liangyu had a team of female soldiers around him.

But soon he ruled out this possibility.

If it was really Qin Liangyu, her handsome flag would definitely be hung here instead of "red".

In addition, Qin Liangyu should be defending Zhang Xianzhong in Chongqing Mansion at this time, so it is impossible to come here.

When he came down from the shoulder, the soldiers wanted to help him into the account.

"The old man can go."

Chen Junchong waved his hands and walked into the big tent.

In addition to some female soldiers who should be personal guards, there are four people in the tent, two men and two women.

There is only one person Chen Junchong knows, and that is Ma Ke.

At this time, Ma Ke was the first to meet him, grabbed his arm to support him, and said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Chen, it was Mr. Ma who made mistakes before. Please forgive me for making Mr. Chen suffer."

Chen Junchong was unable to break free, so he simply let Ma Ke support him, but instead of answering Ma Ke's words, he asked coldly, "Tell me, who is the person you want the old man to see?"

While speaking, he looked at Li Yan, and didn't think that this person could be any prince.

The age is wrong.

It's not like the vassal princes and clan of the Ming Dynasty, with wrong clothes and temperament.

As for the remaining two women, Chen Junchong didn't care too much - it's not that he discriminates against women so much. Among the women, there are also heroines like Qin Liangyu who don't give in to men. But in the environment of Ming Dynasty, most women are just men's vassal This is a fact.

However, Marco looked at the girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Chen Junchong also looked at the girl again, and thought to himself: Could it be that the old man is wrong?
As for the simple and elegant phoenix hair crown on the girl's head, and the crimson brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns on her body, they caught Chen Junchong's attention, but he didn't.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, etiquette was in chaos. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, people dressed according to their own preferences.

Now that the capital is in ruins, no one will be serious about a woman wearing a dragon pattern dress.

However, when Chen Junchong looked over, he looked over at the girl with a smile and said, "It is this palace who wants to see Mr. Chen."

As he said that, under the signal of the girl, a maid behind him brought a wooden support.

On it was an imperial decree and an exquisite wooden box.

At the same time, the girl continued to say something that surprised Chen Junchong——

"This palace is the concubine Zhu Yu of Kunxing. Before the capital city was broken by intruders, due to various reasons, the first emperor issued an imperial edict to confer the title of this palace as a state supervisor.

If Mr. Chen doesn't believe it, you can look at the imperial decree left by the first emperor and the 24 imperial seals of the Ming emperor in this box. "
