Chapter six hundred and twentieth the ancient capital precarious

Chu Zheng opened his nonsense: "Oh, I heard from Dongfang Bai that I have never seen a red mole in the shape of a plum blossom, so I was curious to see it."

"Hehe, if you want to watch it, just keep watching it." A Qing smiled innocently.

Ah Qing had no idea how dangerous this would bring. Fortunately, Chu Zheng had always had good self-control, and he didn't expect to be wrong and did not continue to lead her in the wrong direction.

After chatting with Ah Qing for a few words, I coaxed this little girl who was simply ignorant of the world back to the book.

Chu Zheng went to ask another sword spirit He Lan'er again.

The quirky He Lan'er didn't coax Ah Qing like this. She blinked her eyes and did not answer Chu Zheng's question. Instead, she asked: "Master, do you want to hint at something about this? You want to see me..."

Before she could finish her words, Chu Zheng tapped her little head first: "Little man, how old are you? What are you thinking about?"

Miao Nv was already bold, let alone He Lan'er, who came from the Five Poisons Cult. She giggled: "I have seen men in the sect use such excuses to deceive girls. Have you used this method to trick Dongfang Bai?"

This girl has always been in a disagreement with Dongfang Bai, fighting openly and secretly, calling Dongfang Sister in person, but when Chu Zheng is there, he will call Dongfang Bai directly - but it seems that He Lan'er is not blamed, after all, the competitive and arrogant Dongfang Bai is the first to cause trouble.

Chu Zheng touched her forehead and flicked her forehead again: "Little girl is careful when speaking in a movie. I always thought you were the best representative of the sword spirit."

"Hehe." He Lan'er immediately showed a well-behaved look, hammered Chu Zheng's shoulders, and then said: "There is indeed a red mole like plum blossoms on her shoulders. How could the master know?"

Is it really? Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The three sword spirits are actually Qin Ruyun's "censors"? If this is a coincidence, wouldn't it be too coincidental?

Or is it because of my 40 lucky fate?

Chu Zheng didn't know that "seed" is based on "reality", and Chu Zheng is "real" to this world. It is not surprising that "seed" will continue to approach him in the subconscious mind.

After finding an excuse to send He Lan'er back to the book, Chu Zheng silently counted in his heart that there were eight people who had confirmed the "censor" list.

There are thirteen left... Chu Zheng thought for a long time but didn't expect another person to doubt, so he had to give up for the time being.

This is a very sensitive privacy issue. Other girls are not his sword spirits. They will answer so obediently and honestly, and they may even roll their eyes on him.

...

After obtaining a large amount of important information from Qin Ruyun's mother, Chu Zheng also stepped up his efforts to resolve the great disaster in the world.

Three days later, after seeing off Song Que, Chu Zheng was about to take Ajiu to set off for Jinling. He wanted to satisfy the girl's dream of the world and traveled around the world with her, but a sudden unexpected news disrupted Chu Zheng's plan.

The two armies of the Zhu Ming Dynasty were hit by the plan of Li Yan, the military advisor of the King of Rebellion, and suffered heavy casualties. The situation in the Zhu Ming Dynasty suddenly became worse. Li Zicheng personally led 200,000 rebels toward the capital of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, Jinling City. Along the way, all counties and cities surrendered, and it is estimated that they will be able to siege the city in about half a month!

When Ajiu heard the news, she burst into tears and wanted to rush back to Jinling City as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, Chu Zheng decided to take 6,000 "Nighthawks" to travel together and see if he could take the opportunity to capture Jinling City.

However, as soon as the number of people is too large, it will naturally take more time to set off. Chu Zheng decided to take Ajiu, Sun Xuhong and a few personal guards first, and set off by boat first. A Fei, Ximen Rou and Zhang Wuji each brought two thousand masters, and came in three directions and met outside Jinling City.

This is also impossible. After all, although the Zhu Ming Dynasty is in a turmoil and its main force has been defeated by the army of Li Zicheng, the rebellion king, has been ruled for more than two hundred years, and several prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction are still of some strength. There are also many people in Thousand Households in various places. Once a large number of people gather to Jinling, it will be somewhat concerned and obstructed, affecting the speed of travel.

Now Chu Zheng’s plan is to arrive before the breaking of Jinling City no matter what.

On the one hand, it was naturally because he had promised Ajiu that he would save her father and mother. On the other hand, he was afraid that after the King of Breaking Li Zicheng captured Jinling City, he would strengthen the city defense, so that he would have no chance to take advantage of it.

It is more comfortable to take a boat and the journey is faster than riding a horse. However, the river flows fast, sometimes with wind and sometimes with wind, and the itinerary takes as fast as thirteen days. It is hard to say what kind of weather changes suddenly.

Ajiu was worried about his father and mother and restless.

Chu Zheng comforted: "Ajiu, don't worry, there are nearly 100,000 imperial guards in Jinling City now. It is difficult for Li Zicheng to capture Jinling City, so he can only siege the city."

Ajiu actually didn't know much about these military and political affairs. He just thought that Jinling City was indeed tall and had a moat nearly ten feet wide. With the equipment of Li Zicheng's bandits, it was indeed difficult to capture such a majestic city, so he eased his anxiety a little.

Chu Zheng was not so optimistic.

He had asked Luo Qifei to inquire about the situation in Jinling before, and after obtaining the love news from Sun Xuhong's family, he would have a better understanding of the situation in Jinling City.

To be honest, the situation in Jinling City is very bad now. The rice price has risen to 700 cents per bull, and the oil and salt prices have also risen to a terrifying level. At least more than half of the people at the bottom are on the verge of hunger and cold.

The powerful and wealthy businessmen still live a luxurious life of wine and meat. The cruel and cruel businessmen took the opportunity to oppress good people and make ill-gotten wealth, which made class conflicts sharp and the people's hearts extremely unstable. There has been a folk song about "killing cattle and sheep, preparing wine and slurry, opening the city gate to welcome the King of Break, and the King of Break will not pay food when he comes. Eat his mother, and eating her mother, and not having enough food for the King of Break."

As for the combat power of the 100,000 imperial guards, Chu Zheng could only laugh. They were all playboys with low positions, and they were seriously owed to empty wages. When Li Zicheng's 200,000 army arrived, not to mention whether the people could open the city gates, how many of these imperial guards would dare to go to the city to fight against the enemy on duty would have to make a big question.

As for the civil officials and generals of the Zhu Ming court, it was even more hilarious. According to the Feige letter that Sun Xuhong had just received, nearly two-thirds of the civil officials were already sick at home and no longer attended court. The fight was obviously the King of Chuang who came and surrendered directly. Anyway, based on their fame and status, as long as they surrendered, there would be no more wealth.

Under such a situation, even if there is a powerful defensive artifact like the "Dragon Qi Array", it is really unknown how long Jinling City can last. Chu Zheng speculated that the worst situation may not be able to defend even for three days.

For Chu Zheng now, time is very critical. He must arrive before the city breaks, prepare in advance, take advantage of the chaos and seize Jinling City, and prevent this important ancient capital from falling into Li Zicheng's hands.

While comforting Ajiu, he kept urging his fleet in private, and there were 6,000 "Nighthawks" to hurry up.

I don’t know if Qin Ruyun’s mother secretly helped her, but the weather was calm along the way, which made the ship move very fast.

But what Sun Xuhong received was getting worse and worse. The King of Breaking Li Zicheng first advanced with an elite of 50,000 and pressed down on Jinling City with a thunderous force. Many of the wealthy merchants and nobles in Jinling City had moved their families, and the city was in chaos.

Just as Chu Zheng and Six Thousand "Nighthawks" had just arrived more than twenty miles outside Jinling City, Sun Xuhong rushed to him with a nervous look: "Jinling City has been broken!"
