Chapter 778 Another Wave

.

Seeing Dr. Wu's face full of tears, Huai En quickly comforted him: "Don't be too sad, at least this kid survived?" He said with a smile: "This is the first one who can come out of the shadow alive..."

Speaking of this, Wynn was stunned, and fixedly looked at Dr. Wu and said, "You won't... Tell me?"

"Yes." Dr. Wu nodded, and said with a sad smile, "I will tell him the emperor's current hiding place and all the whereabouts..."

Before he finished speaking, Wynn punched Dr. Wu hard in the stomach. Dr. Wu flew out sideways, hit the bulkhead hard, and sprayed a mouthful of blood!

"You dare to betray the emperor?!" Wynn was furious, and rushed forward again, punching and kicking desperately, cursing: "You traitor!"

Doctor Wu didn't fight back, just hugged his head, curled up, and let him beat him violently!
Seeing that he looked like mud on the beach, Huai En became more and more angry, grabbed Dr. Wu up, his eyes widened, and he growled, "Do you remember the oath we made?!"

"Of course I remember, we swore to protect the emperor until death..." Dr. Wu spat out a tooth that had been knocked out, and said sadly, "But what do you want me to do, my son has never sworn an oath!"

"I care so much about you!" Wynn's eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Those who violate the oath will be ashamed in life, and will go to the eighteenth floor of hell!" As he spoke, he roared, and said with strength in his hands: "Go to hell!" Bar!"

Dr. Wu was choked by the throat suddenly, his eyes widened, and his hands and feet jumped up!Gradually, his limbs became weaker and weaker, and he was about to die. At this moment, the door opened silently, and a figure rushed in, saving Dr. Wu from Wynn's hands!
"You!" Huai En glared at Zhao Ying who was standing in front of Dr. Wu, and said angrily, "If you dare to touch the emperor's finger, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"

"Brother is too obsessed. Zhu Yunqi is just a lost dog. Is it worth your sacrifice?" Zhao Ying glanced at Dr. Wu, who was holding his neck and gasping for breath, and said lightly, "Is it true that Dr. Wu is only a loyal minister if he sacrifices his son?" ?”

"..." Wynn couldn't refute, and stood there in a daze.

"You people have sacrificed too much for Zhu Yunqi. You are all outstanding people, but you have buried your whole life in ridiculous stupid loyalty." Zhao Ying said in a deep voice: "Doctor Wu wants to save his son. As a matter of course, none of you have the right to criticize him anymore!"

"..." Wynn lowered his head dejectedly, apparently also feeling that he had gone too far with Dr. Wu.

"Doctor Wu," Zhao Ying said with a smile as he looked at Doctor Wu who had recovered from his strenuous efforts, "Although Mr. Ling looks a bit miserable, his hands and feet are intact and he hasn't suffered any internal injuries. As long as he recuperates for a while, he will be another one." hero!"

"His appearance can never be restored!" Doctor Wu said with a full face.

"Men don't rely on their appearance to make a living." Zhao Ying comforted, and said to Dr. Wu: "The military doctor on Zheng He's ship is very good, and besides, there is my senior brother. Don't worry about your son, let's go."

"Hey." Dr. Wu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, nodded, got up and left with Zhao Ying.

"Surnamed Wu!" Facing Doctor Wu's back, Wynn roared, "I'm at odds with you!"

What answered him was the sound of the cabin door closing.

.

The words were divided into two parts, but it was said that on the prince's side, since the King of Han Army no longer exists, there is no reason for Zhu Gaochi and others to stay in Zhenjiang.

After a simple arrangement, Erhei and Xue Huan led a team back to the capital first to ensure the safety of the prince returning to the capital.The crown prince, Mo Wen and others will escort the coffin back to Beijing after collecting the remains of the soldiers who died in battle.This was an extremely painful task. Of the 1 soldiers who followed His Royal Highness back into Zhenjiang City, after more than half a month of bloody battle, there were only more than 5 people left, and nearly [-] people were killed or injured!Among them, [-] were killed and nearly [-] were seriously injured!Especially the avant-garde army founded by Wang Xian and Taisun, almost completely wiped out!
The soldiers who survived not only suffer from scars, but also have to endure the pain of losing their father and brother's robes!This kind of pain is easy to bear on the battlefield, because you feel that it will be your turn in the next moment, so you are not very sad.It wasn't until the end of the war that you were sure that you would survive, that you suddenly realized that all those people you had been with day and night had disappeared!You are the only one left alone, suffering from the wounds left by the war...

A few days after the war ended, the gunpowder smoke had cleared, and the corpses on and off the city wall were cleaned up, but the soldiers were still unable to wake up from that nightmare. Many people were so sad that they chose to end their own lives. ...

After Zhu Gaochi learned about it, he put down the government affairs at hand and came to the military camp to chat with the soldiers. He couldn't let this kind of emotion spread, it would completely destroy the army.

At dusk, after a day of heart-to-heart talks, Zhu Gaochi, accompanied by Mo Wen and others, climbed to the top of Zhenjiang City. Standing on the Zhenjiang Tower where fierce battles had taken place, looking at the dilapidated and blood-stained city walls, everyone seemed to have returned to the city. Those days of hell!

As the sun sets, the rosy glow is like blood, and it is breathtakingly beautiful, but Zhu Gaochi and the others have no intention of admiring it, and they all silently bow their heads and think about their thoughts.

It wasn't until night fell that the darkness swallowed the sunset glow and covered everything in front of them, and everyone came back to their senses.The prince said softly: "Based on Jun Mo's words to seal the Marquis, one general will be successful. I hope that there will be no more wars in my lifetime."

"..." After hearing these words, although the generals felt sorry for each other, they instinctively wouldn't go along with it.But Jian Yi praised him greatly: "Your Highness is able to see this, it is really a blessing to Ming Dynasty! The people are very lucky!" He said loudly: "May my Ming Dynasty never fight, and the people enjoy peace forever."

"Yes." Zhu Gaochi didn't have much interest in war at first, but after this bloody battle in Zhenjiang City, he hated it even more.

"Jian Shangshu's words are a bit absolute," Xu Huaiqing finally couldn't help retorting: "It should be said that there will never be civil wars. The army expands the territory and defends the enemy from outside the country. It is the blessing of the country and the luck of the people!"

"Hehe..." Jian Yi smiled without saying a word, as if you know what?The posture of being too lazy to take care of.

"Aren't I right?" Xu Huaiqing said with an unhappy face.

"Of course not!" Jian Yi sneered.

"This is the original words of my Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty!" Xu Huaiqing suddenly laughed strangely: "It turns out that Shangshu Jian is dissatisfied with the emperor!"

"You!" Jian Yi never expected that Qiu Ba, who seemed to be rough and bold, would set himself a trap, and he became a little annoyed and said, "What do you know? Just laugh like others!"

"Then tell me, what does the Holy Will mean?!" Xu Huaiqing didn't speak, but Hu Sandao, who was leaning on crutches, interjected.

Jian Yi was speechless, because he was criticizing Emperor Yongle!
Seeing that he had nothing to say, the generals laughed for a while, and just as Hu Sandao was about to make another cut, the prince coughed and said, "Okay, don't be rude to Old Shangshu Jian." Then he turned and said, "It's getting dark, let's Let's go back."

"Yes." The generals winked at Jian Yi proudly, and were about to go down to the city with the prince when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes outside the city.Everyone couldn't help but stop and follow the prestige.

"It's from the direction of the capital." Mo Wen said softly to the prince.

As if to confirm his words, he heard a shout from the city: "The capital is urgent, please open the city gate!"

"What happened?" The prince couldn't help being startled. He knew that with the distance from the capital city to Zhenjiang, the messenger could easily arrive by morning or evening. If there was no urgent situation, he would always calculate the time and arrive before the city gate closed. .At this moment, the gates of the city were closed for an hour, and the messenger arrived slowly. Obviously, something unusual happened, which made him rush here regardless of the hour.

In theory, it is absolutely forbidden to open the city gate at night, but there are also workarounds.Then Mo Wen ordered: "Put down the hanging basket!"

The officers and soldiers on the city put down a hanging basket, and when the messenger sat in, several soldiers shook the pulley and brought up the man and the basket together.

As soon as the messenger came up, the generals were stunned, it turned out to be Shuai Hui who stayed behind in the capital!

"Handsome guy, why are you here?!" Hu Sandao asked carelessly, "Do you want to see who of us is still alive?"

"Hey..." Shuai Hui grinned at Hu Sandao, walked up to the prince, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, something happened."

"What's the matter?" The prince thought that sure enough, he pulled Shuai Hui aside and let him talk to himself first.

"Ji Gang led people to break into the Tianxiang Nunnery, and captured Master Xu and our family..." Shuai Hui said heartbrokenly, "We tried our best to rescue, but only one lady was rescued..."

"What?!" Hearing the bad news, Zhu Gaochi was stunned, his body swayed, and he couldn't even stand still, Shuai Hui hurriedly supported him.

"The most vicious time is when a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry." The prince sighed, and said bitterly: "How can I explain to Wang Xian and the emperor..." Needless to say, the special relationship between Xu Miaojin and Zhu Di, but Wang Xian was born and died day and night for him , but he couldn't even protect his family, he was so incompetent!

"What's going on, tell me clearly!" Zhu Gaochi grabbed Shuai Hui's hand and asked in a hissing voice.

"Yes." Shuai Hui nodded, and told the prince what happened...

.

Two days ago, that is, the afternoon of the end of the Battle of Zhenjiang, the news had not yet reached the capital, and the city of Beijing was still under the control of the King of Han Army!Because of the sudden death of his father, Fang Bin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was dismissed from his post by the King of Han, and he was forced to go home to attend the funeral!Therefore, the last paramilitary force in the city, the Wucheng Bingmasi, also fell into the hands of the King of Han.

Zhang Fu, the highest military officer in the capital appointed by the King of Han and the third brother of the British Duke Zhang Fu, implemented the highest level of martial law. The people were strictly forbidden to go out at night, and even had to stay at home during the day!Anyone walking on the street will be arrested and tortured!It is better to kill by mistake than to miss, and never allow a spy to operate in the city!
