Chapter 43 Chasing Zhao Jingzhong

In the chaos, two Dongchang fans tried their best to protect a man wearing a cloak and a hood as he fled.

"Stop them!"

Lu Jianxing shouted an order.

Seeing the opponent fleeing towards an alley, Ding Xiu didn't have time to mount his horse, so he immediately ran forward, took advantage of a crooked-necked tree and jumped over from the direction of the roof.

Just as the three of them were about to flee into the alley, Ding Xiu swooped down from the roof like a divine soldier descending from the sky, like an eagle swooping down on food.

The Dongchang fanzi on the left was shocked and subconsciously waved his knife.

"Bang~"

Just as he raised the knife, Ding Xiu kicked him off his horse hard.

Then, Ding Xiu stood on tiptoes on the saddle, leaned sideways and hit hard with his shoulder, knocking the man in the middle wearing a curtain hat to the ground.

The curtain hat fell to one side, and the man finally revealed his true appearance: it was Li Yongfang.

Ding Xiu said jokingly: "General Li, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"call!"

At this time, another Dongchang fan struck with a vicious knife.

Ding Xiu didn't even bother to look at the opponent, and slashed him with his backhand.

"Clang~"

The opponent's knife fell to the side, he staggered a few steps, and then fell into a pool of blood.

Li Yongfang struggled to stand up and asked with a gloomy face: "Are you Ding Xiu?"

"Haha, it's hard for General Li to know about this."

"You are a talented general. Come with me. I will ensure that you enjoy endless glory and wealth."

"Hahaha!" Ding Xiu couldn't help but laugh: "Old guy, you have become a lost dog yourself, what qualifications do you have to allow me to be rich and powerful?"

Li Yongfang's face was livid with anger, but she didn't dare to show up. She could only hold back her anger and replied: "If I can't give it to you, of course someone can give it to you."

"Sorry, you can't give me what I want, and your master can't give it either."

"Little bastard, the old man will fight with you!"

Li Yongfang suddenly picked up the knife on the ground and rushed forward with a crazy look on his face.

After all, he is also a battle-hardened general. Although he is old, he is not without the ability to fight.

Unfortunately, bad luck happened and I met Ding Xiu.

"boom!"

A kick came, causing Li Yongfang to vomit blood and fly away, almost losing his breath.

At this time, Lu Jianxing hurried over with several of his men.

"Master Baihu came just in time, this person is Li Yongfang."

Hearing this, Lu Jianxing couldn't help but look surprised, and immediately shouted loudly: "Tie him up!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, after a fierce battle, none of those Dongchang fans were able to escape. Most of them were killed or injured, and six were captured alive.

However, Li Chengxiu was not found.

"Hahaha!" Li Chengfang suddenly laughed crazily: "So what if you catch me? My three sons have already left the city. When the time comes, they will definitely avenge me!"

"Noisy!"

Ding Xiu kicked him over.

On the other side, Shen Lian and others fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain and were pestered by dozens of Dongchang gangsters. Li Chengxiu and others took the opportunity to sneak out of the city.

After dawn, the entire capital was in a state of excitement. There were several times more officers and soldiers at the city gate to conduct strict inspections. In principle, everyone was only allowed to enter and not leave.

"What? Taifu Li's residence was raided by Jin Yiwei?"

"Not only that, I heard that a lot of Jinyiwei went to Dongchang..." "That's not true, right? Jinyiwei dare to investigate Dongchang?"

Indeed, this is an unbelievable thing for many people. After all, the former Jin Yiwei was always suppressed by Dongchang and was jokingly called the dog raised by Dongchang.

In the blink of an eye, you dare to go to Chadong Factory?
"This is not surprising. The emperor relies heavily on the cabinet, and if the cabinet wants to suppress Dongchang, it must rely on the power of Jin Yiwei..."

"Oh, it is true that he is once an emperor and a courtier."

"I heard that Eunuch Zhao fled overnight. Did he receive the news in advance that he was going to be liquidated?"

Zhao Jingzhong did escape.

Because he was desperate.

Wei Zhongxian was demoted to guard the mausoleum in Xinyang. The happiest person should be Zhao Jingzhong.With Wei Zhongxian here, he had no chance to get ahead.

Finally, the emperor gave him an important task to deal with Wei Zhongxian secretly.

As a result, Wei Zhongxian was indeed killed, but it was known to everyone in the world that it was the revenge of the Donglin Party.

Zhao Jingzhong did not get any benefits at all. On the contrary, the morale of the Donglin Party was high, and many people joined him.

After that, he deliberately tried to assassinate Ding Xiu, Shen Lian and others, but failed again and again, leaving many hidden dangers.

However, he is still struggling, trying to find opportunities to make a comeback.

However, after Tang Yongchun was arrested, Zhao Jingzhong's illusions were completely shattered.As long as Tang Yongchun gives an explanation, I don't know how many people will be implicated.

Including himself.

If I don't run away, I'm afraid I won't have a chance.

That afternoon, a group of Jinyi guards were ordered to go out of the city to search. When passing by a woods, Ding Xiu and Shen Lian quietly ran into the woods.

When they reappeared, they were already disguised as two men from the world, riding horses all the way towards Kanto.

They took the initiative to ask Ying to arrest defectors such as Li Chengxiu and Zhao Jingzhong.Even if you can't catch him alive, you can't let the opponent live to drop the gold.

Once Zhao Jingzhong and others defected to the Jurchens, in addition to leaking many court secrets, it would also have a very bad impact, affecting people's hearts and shaking their morale.

The strange thing is that Ding Xiu and the two chased them all the way, but they did not find out any information about the whereabouts of Zhao Jingzhong and others. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Regarding this, Shen Lian speculated: "Perhaps they were broken into pieces and dispersed, and they were all traveling to remote places."

"Yeah!" Ding Xiu nodded: "But it doesn't matter. They will eventually leave the border. Let's leave the border first to intercept them."

"Alright!"

More than ten days later, the two came out of the customs and came to the junction of Daming and Houjin, and began to wait for mercy.

Of course, instead of sitting down and waiting, they split up and started searching to see if there were any Jurchens stationed nearby.

Zhao Jingzhong and others came to seek refuge with Hou Jin. The two parties must have contacted them in advance, and Hou Jin's side would definitely send someone to respond.

After a day of searching, Ding Xiu accidentally discovered a Jurchen cavalry, who seemed to be a scout.

So, Ding Xiu followed quietly, and finally found a virgin cavalry camp in a valley, with about thirty people.

Later, Ding Xiu went to Shen Lian to inform him of the news, and said, "Why don't we take action in advance and deal with these Jurchen cavalry first."

Shen Lian looked surprised: "Just the two of us?"

"Correct!"

"Brother Ding, these Jurchens are brave and good at fighting and cannot be underestimated. How about we go to the border camp to borrow some people?"

Although the Jin Yiwei does not have the right to mobilize troops, it is generally no problem to second dozens or hundreds of people when performing special tasks. After all, the emperor owns the army.

Ding Xiu waved his hand: "Absolutely not! There are many old subordinates of Li Yongfang in the military camp. Once they know the news, they may leak the news, causing Li Chengxiu, Zhao Jingzhong and others to flee."

"That's right...but I'm afraid the two of us can't deal with so many cavalry."

Ding Xiu smiled mysteriously: "It depends on human effort..."
