The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 599

Bai Mu agreed to Mrs. Zheng's request without thinking too long. This matter has all benefits but no harm, so why not do it?

As for the future?Who knows what will happen next.Besides, it is not certain whether Zheng Zhilong will listen to his old mother.

"Since this is the case, then I will give your Zheng family a chance. If Zheng Zhilong can seize this opportunity and submit to the court wholeheartedly, I will definitely make a statement to His Royal Highness the Regent."

Bai Mu said in a deep voice.

Although there was no real promise in Bai Mu's tone, but now that I am fish and meat, and man is a knife, Mrs. Zheng dare not make too many demands, and hastily thanked Bai Mu.

He also promised that the Zheng family's old house would also be released for Bai Mu's use, and that he and all his family and servants only needed a small yard.

However, in order to reassure Mrs. Zheng's heart, Bai Mu did not agree, but let the Zheng family continue to live, and sent a company of soldiers to guard by the way, in the name of protecting safety.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zheng felt relieved about Bai Mu's move, and immediately repaired a letter. After Bai Mu checked that there was no problem, she sent her confidants to Fuzhou City.

While Bai Mu was busy stabilizing the order in the city, Chu Yunfei actually found out that the situation was abnormal.

It was originally agreed not to block the messenger from Fuzhou asking for help, but seeing a large number of rout soldiers fleeing in the direction of Fuzhou, Chu Yunfei naturally understood that the situation had changed, so he immediately ordered to stop it.

The sudden appearance of the National Defense Forces surprised those fleeing soldiers in a hurry. After a group of people were killed with no hope of breaking through, many people chose to kneel down and surrender.

And fortunately, Zheng Hongkui was also among the captives.

But this fellow changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier, so he was not noticed for a while.

At this moment, the messenger sent by Bai Mu also arrived, and told Chu Yunfei that Zheng Hongkui had escaped and that Jianning City had been captured.

After Chu Yunfei learned about it, he immediately realized that Zheng Hongkui was most likely hiding among these captives.

After thinking about it for a while, he ordered all the generals of the Zheng family army out of the captives, and announced to them in a cold voice:

"You act as minions and follow Zheng Zhilong against the imperial court, which in itself is a capital crime of treason. However, His Royal Highness the Regent is lenient, and now I will give you a chance to live and make meritorious deeds. Whoever can catch it will be spared death. If you are stubborn, then you will be free Good luck."

After finishing speaking, all the generals of Zheng Jun had complicated expressions and panicked expressions.

Chu Yunfei didn't give them more time to think, but casually pointed to one of them and asked, "Who is the most official among you?"

Hearing the words, the man's eyes wandered, he glanced around the crowd, opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.

Chu Yunfei's gaze turned cold, and with a movement of his right hand, the pistol at his waist was already in his hand, and he raised his hand to shoot that person.

In the life of "bang", that person's head instantly turned into a rotten red and white watermelon, and the body stood for a few seconds before falling to the ground with a plop.

Chu Yunfei's decisiveness and ruthlessness made everyone else feel cold instantly, and their complexions turned pale. Some of the timid ones couldn't help but take a step back, looking at him with fear.

These people can become officers and generals, and they are basically the type of murderous people, but they still feel terrified of Chu Yunfei who kills people if they disagree with each other.

Moreover, the scene caused by the large-caliber pistol in Chu Yunfei's hand was also very bloody, which made people even more terrified.

"I'll say it again. Opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize them, that's your fate. It's still the question just now. You answer it." Chu Yunfei casually pointed at the person in front of him with the muzzle of his gun and said in a cold voice.

The man looked at the black muzzle of the gun and trembled. This time, almost as soon as Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he couldn't wait to point to one of the people in the team and shouted: "I said, I said, he, he It is Zheng Hongkui's lieutenant general, who is also the person with the highest official position among us, his name is Liu Tianfang, and he is Zheng Hongkui's lieutenant general. I beg the general to spare my life!"

Chu Yunfei turned his gaze to the person the man was pointing at, and saw a man of medium build who was not wearing armor but was covered in blood. His gaze was fixed and he said, "Is what he said the truth? Are you really Deputy General Zheng Hongkui Liu Tianfang? "

The man looked at it, sighed and said, "That's right, I'm Liu Tianfang."

Chu Yunfei laughed, and said lightly: "Very well, it seems that everyone has learned to be smart this time. Liu Tianfang, I would have known that Zheng Hongkui was also among the prisoners. If you can find Zheng Hongkui for me, I will forgive you." You won't die. If not, the person just now will be your fate. Anyway, there are so many people who know Zheng Hongkui, if you don't want to, I think many people will be willing to seize this opportunity."

Liu Tianfang took a deep breath. Knowing that he had no choice at all, he nodded and said, "I don't want to die. I am willing to help the general find Zheng Hongkui."

Chu Yunfei was very satisfied with Liu Tianfang's cooperation, so he asked Liu Tianfang to be escorted to the group of captives to identify him.

Zheng Hongkui was dressed in the uniform of an ordinary soldier. He was squatting among a group of prisoners at this time, and his hands were tied up with leggings by soldiers of the National Defense Forces.

In order to conceal his identity, he not only changed his clothes, but even shaved off the beard that he had grown for many years, and deliberately smeared some blood on his face.

This time the imperial army came so suddenly, and the siege was so violent, which Zheng Hongkui never expected.

What made him even more terrified was the power and influence caused by the overwhelming artillery fire from the officers and soldiers.It seemed to him simply irresistible.

So he didn't spend much time from sending reinforcements to deciding to abandon the city and flee.

After all, it is commonplace for him to run away if he can't fight.This is also often the case when fighting for territory at sea. It is really normal to fight if you can beat it, and run if you can't beat it.

The only thing that made him worry a little bit was his old mother.

But the old mother refused to run away with him, and Zheng Hongkui was not surprised. The old mother has always been stubborn and stubborn, and it is normal to make such a decision.

He thought that the imperial court officers and soldiers were not bandits and robbers after all, so they wouldn't do anything to an old lady, and he would just save the old mother when he had a chance in the future.

While comforting himself in this way, a few soldiers escaped while staying.

But I didn't expect that the officers and soldiers would set up an ambush on the way to Fuzhou, so they were unlucky to be captured again.

But now he is glad that he has put on makeup to hide his identity, and it will not be too late to find an opportunity to escape in the future.After all, there are so many prisoners, and the officers and soldiers can't take care of them all. It should be possible to find a chance to escape.

What surprised him was that not only the artillery of the officers and soldiers was fierce, but even the muskets in the hands of the soldiers were equally sharp, and each of them had one. This made Zheng Hongkui feel even less confident about whether his elder brother could stop the officers and soldiers. .

When he was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard a commotion, so he looked up quietly, but he suddenly saw his deputy general Liu Tian walking towards him under the escort of a group of officers and soldiers.

His heart moved, he hurriedly lowered his head, and deliberately twisted his body backwards to prevent Liu Tianfang from seeing him.
