Chapter 13

Zhang Hao was training the archers to throw grenades, while Zhang Rong went to the city wall from time to time to look around, and inquire about the movements in the other three directions.

There are only more than 40,000 people in Beiping City, and it is difficult to fight out.

At Yan Song's mansion, Yan Song was waiting for Lu Bing at this moment. He originally wanted to go to Lu Bing's mansion in person. Later, Lu Bing sent someone to send news and would come tonight.

"Dad, it's already this time, why haven't it arrived yet?" Yan Shifan couldn't wait and asked at Yan Song.

"Maybe something is wrong, so it's okay to wait!" Yan Song sat in the study and spoke.

At this moment, a manager came in and said, "Master, Lord Lu is here."

"Please!" Yan Song said.

After a while, Lu Bing walked in and the servant outside closed the door of the study.

"Please sit down!" Yan Song looked at Lu Bing with a smile.

Yan Shifan poured tea there.

"Gei Master Yan, beware of your own men. What would you ask Zhang Dayan to go to the Jinyiwei prison to assassinate Zhang Hao?" Lu Bing sat down and asked angrily.

"Mr. Lu, I misunderstood. It's not like this at all. I originally hoped that Zhang Dayan would ask Zhang Hao and ask if it was Zhang Rong's intention to beat Qiu Luan. After all, Qiu Luan is the general of Pinglu. Before he took office, he was injured. Why should the emperor ask about it?" Yan Shifan said first.

"Avenge Qiu Luan?" After hearing this, Lu Bing looked at Yan Shifan with a sneer.

"This...is not avenge, there is always a saying, no, this is related to the defense of the capital. If there is any mistake, then those who are ministers will be ashamed of the emperor." Yan Shifan explained with a smile again.

"What do you mean?" Lu Bing picked up the teacup placed on the coffee table and spoke.

"Yes, it's what I mean, I just didn't expect that Zhang Hao was so tyrannical!" Yan Shifan said with a smile again. Lu Bing heard it, and didn't say anything, and just drank tea there.

"But there is any change, I hope Lord Lu will help you." Yan Song said at this moment.

"Disconnect with Qiu Luan!" Lu Bing said with a reminder.

When Yan Song heard this, his heart sank, and then he looked at Lu Bing with incomprehension.

"Master Lu, why is this? Qiu Luan is the general of the dynasty and has never done anything to commit crimes?" Yan Shifan immediately looked at Lu Bing and said.

Lu Bing stopped talking.

"Thank you, Lord Lu, Lord Lu, this time Zhang Dayan's affairs have caused you trouble!" Yan Song did not say much, but said thank you.

"Make trouble? I knelt in Yuxi Palace for an hour. Now the emperor doubts my ability. If I make any mistakes, the commander of the Jinyiwei will be replaced!" Lu Bing said with great dissatisfaction at this moment.

Yan Song and Yan Shifan looked at Lu Bing in shock.

"Don't touch Zhang Hao. You may not know how you die. I won't say much about the others. Don't cause trouble for me!" Lu Bing put down his teacup and wanted to stand up.

I will tell them all today so that they won’t know nothing and will assassinate Zhang Hao, and then I will be in trouble.

As for telling them about Qiu Luan, it was also for this reason, but Ding Rukui's affairs could not be told to them. If they were told, they would not be able to keep their heads.

"I'll say goodbye first!" Lu Bing said and stood up.

"Wait a minute!" Yan Song immediately called Lu Bing, Qiu Luan's affairs were all trivial matters.

But now, I always feel that something big will happen when it comes to the emperor. Maybe Lu Bing knows about this.

Lu Bing stood there and looked at Yan Song.

"Donglou, go out!" Yan Song said to Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan looked at his father in confusion, but he still went out.

"Sir Lu, sit down, I want to talk to you, what happened to the emperor recently? Why do you protect Zhang Hao like this? Of course, the emperor has always trusted the British Duke very much. I know this, but, Zhang Hao is so harboring this, the emperor also protects this... there is no reason, right?" Yan Song sat there, looking at Lu Bing and said.

"Well, one reason, Zhang Rong, Zhang Hao and his son, went out of the city to kill the enemy a few days ago, and although they were defeated, they were still honored. Moreover, this is also a manifestation of Zhang Rong's loyalty to the emperor. Zhang Hao also killed many enemies on the front line. It is said that he has killed more than 50 enemies. Do you think the emperor can not protect him?" Lu Bing sat there, laughed and said.

"This!" Yan Song realized at this moment that Jiajing was interested in the loyalty of Zhang Rong and his son, and then said in confusion: "But this is not the reason to kill Qiu Luan?"

"You go and ask Qiu Luan what he did when he was in Datong?" Lu Bing asked.

"What? In Datong?" Yan Song felt a sudden heart when he heard this.

"Gei Master Yan, I advise you to restrain the East Building. In addition, don't stretch your hands so long and want to control my Jinyiwei? Zhang Dayan's death has been asked to investigate. Mr. Yan, please consider whether the investigation results are good, or not?" Lu Bing continued to stare at Yan Song and said.

Yan Song looked at Lu Bing. He knew at this moment. He probably couldn't even save Zhang Wenhua, otherwise, he would be his son in trouble.

My son is in trouble, can he have a good life?

"Thank you for your reminder. I really didn't expect that a Zhang Manzi would have done so many things?" Yan Song bowed to Lu Bing again and said.

"Well, Master Yan, it's getting late. I have to keep an eye on the situation in the capital, so I'll say goodbye first!" Lu Bing stood up and said.

Yan Song also stood up, Lu Bing made a gesture without giving it away, and went out.

Soon, Yan Shifan came in and saw Yan Song sitting there as if he had entered a state of meditation. He did not dare to go over and disturb him, but sat on the chair next to him.

"How much did you charge Qiu Luan?" Yan Song suddenly spoke.

"Dad?" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song without understanding, but Yan Song did not continue to speak.

"Dad, it's about 300,000 taels of silver in total!" Yan Shifan immediately spoke.

"You are the ones who helped you to go to Shanxi?" Yan Song continued to ask.

"Yes, Qiu Luan went to Shanxi this time, but he won you honor." Yan Shifan said immediately.

"Bastard!" Yan Song said.

Yan Shifan immediately stood up.

"Is he seriously injured?" Yan Song asked.

"Several ribs were broken and the soles of feet were smashed." Yan Shifan said.

"Let his wound relapse!" Yan Song continued.

"Ah, this...yes!" Yan Shifan looked at his father in shock when he heard Yan Song say this, but he didn't dare to ask in detail.

"Also, let's put Zhang Rong's affairs aside first. Now their family is favored and cannot move! In addition, if Zhang Wenhua investigates you, you have to warn him not to tell you. Just find a reason to deal with it." Yan Song continued to explain.

"No, how could Zhang Wenhua investigate me? The emperor asked him to investigate, it was just a formality." Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song without understanding.

Yan Song opened his eyes and glanced at him, then said, "Either protect Zhang Wenhua or protect you!"

Yan Shifan looked at his father foolishly. At this moment, he also understood that Jiajing needed an explanation for the attack on Zhang Hao.

"Lu Bing's side must have told the emperor that Zhang Dayan is your person. Now, the emperor wants to ask for an explanation for Zhang Hao. This explanation, either you can give it to him personally, or let Zhang Wenhua be a scapegoat!" Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and said.

Yan Shifan nodded dullly, knowing that things were a bit big.

"This Zhang Hao really made me underestimate him!" Yan Shifan said and stood up and prepared to go to bed.

Yan Shifan immediately went to support Yan Song.

"If you handle these things well, the emperor will not touch us for the time being. The Ming Dynasty still needs me, but don't do it too much. The emperor needs us, Lu Bing, and even more so, Zhang Rong, the balance cannot be broken." Yan Song continued to speak.

"Yes, dad, I understand!" Yan Shifan nodded and said.

The next morning, Zhang Hao was still training the archers and mobilizing some infantry to come.

Train a group of five people, including three infantrymen, two archers, and three infantrymen holding spears and shields to protect two archers, one of which holds grenades, and the other archer stands for use, and the arrow shoots the lonely enemies at the same time.

Moreover, Zhang Hao also ordered the craftsmen to start making tripods to hinder the charge of the Tatar cavalry. Zhang Rong was very pleased to see Zhang Hao trained well. He thought that although his son was stupid, he was still talented in fighting, and he knew the training formation.

"General, the major general seems to know how to fight?" A general came to Zhang Rong's side and spoke.

"I have inherited some of the talents of my ancestors!" Zhang Rong said with satisfaction.

"Yes, then do we want to leave the city? When will we leave the city?" the general asked.

"I want to ask Ding Rukui for instructions first, and then ask the emperor for instructions. Without their consent, we cannot go out of the city to fight!" Zhang Rong said sighing.

The emperor actually felt easy to convince, but Ding Rukui might not be.

Ding Rukui is Yan Song's person. He and Yan Song have never dealt with each other very much, but they did not offend him. He just said that Zhang Hao beat Qiu Luan this time, which aroused Yan Song's revenge. I don't know if Ding Rukui would agree to go out to fight.

"Then it should be better than it should be later!" the general next to him said.

"Well, I'll go over and ask now." Zhang Rong nodded.

On Jiajing's side, Jiajing was very angry when he learned that there was still no army outside the city.

"Your Majesty, you said that it would be difficult to rescue the siege for three days. The royal army has not arrived yet. It is estimated that it will take two days. I would like to ask the emperor to have a few more days!" Ding Rukui said while kneeling there.
