Emperor Tianqi hurried to Daming Gate.

The Ming Gate is the tallest city tower in the Forbidden City. When I climbed up the city tower, I saw that there was still thick smoke in a place outside the city.

Emperor Apocalypse pulled down his face and said to the guards beside him: "It was there just now?"

"Yes." The guard seemed very nervous and said in fear.

Emperor Aoki narrowed his eyes and looked at the place seriously, saying, "Where is that?"

"It should be a few miles outside the capital... before... it was like a warehouse."

Emperor Apocalypse said: "Is it a cannon?"

The guard shook his head: "The cannon does not have such great power, it is like...stored gunpowder..."

Emperor Aoki finally felt a little calmer. This was obviously not done by the army, but more like someone's destruction in the dark.

But gunpowder is a contraband product. Who has such energy to steal gunpowder from the creation situation? This is probably a detailed investigation.

Now the thoughts of Emperor Tianqi are all on Zhang Jingyi's side, and I have no intention of calculating for the time being.

But the poor Zhang Shun was lying on the sickbed for a long time, and suddenly someone woke him up and took him out of the city immediately.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to borrow a piece of clothing. He wanted to borrow some more money, but the eunuch who called him scolded: "Eunuch Zhang, you have borrowed more than 300 taels. We have always respected you and are willing to lend you, but we never see you pay it back. Now we borrow it again, where is it?"

Zhang Shun's face turned red. The eunuch was also a human being. He felt ashamed of borrowing money but not paying it back. He was naturally embarrassed to open his mouth again, so he hurriedly rode out of the palace with a haggard face.

But when he left the Forbidden City, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look back at the majestic palace city, and his heart was filled with the desolation of the wind.

Only ghosts know what the city looks like now, maybe I can't go back now.

Finally, I thought that when we reached this point, we had a bad life and what else to say, so I left without any nostalgia.

There was already panic in the city.

Deng Jian had already found many buyers in the store, representing the Zhang family, so he found some cheap mansions and fields, and discussed the final price with others.

The two brothers Deng Jian and Wang Cheng acted separately, and they bet that their third brother could bring his students back safely.

The teeth shop was in a mess, and Deng Jian wanted to bargain, but the people who wanted to sell were hesitant. They knew that Deng Jian was the adopted son of the Zhang family and could do this business on behalf of the Zhang family. They also brought the deposit. As long as they signed the contract, they would not be afraid that the Zhang family would not be able to pay the final payment.

But the problem is that selling mansions and land is a prodigal act after all, and these are things passed down from ancestors.

If everyone hadn't felt that the capital was becoming increasingly unsafe, the Jiannu people could have gone straight in. God knows... Will the number of days change? It would be better to sell some things that cannot be taken away immediately and try to raise the silver. The silver can still be taken away.

Deng Jian bargained too hard. Originally, a big house in the city had an excellent location, with a price of 70,000 taels. That was much lower than the original market price of 100,000, but Deng Jian insisted that 50,000 taels, would you sell it?

Many people were wandering and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. However, the landlords in Ji County were willing to sell it as soon as possible. No one knew what happened in Ji County. However, there were already people with good ears and eyes. They knew that the Jiannu people killed many people in Ji County. God knew that the land could be saved, but it could not be saved.

So, some people decided to sell it very happily, while others were still hesitating.

Deng Jian also found a guarantor and signed a contract. When he was about to sign a contract with others.

But it exploded outside.

With a rumbling sound, everyone felt the earth tremble, and the teeth suddenly became chaotic.

This explosion is different from rumors. The rumors can at most cause anxiety in the hearts, but the explosion gives people direct panic.

So the seller pale and said quickly: "Sell, Brother Zhang, hurry up, I will sell it at your price..."

"Let's go!" Deng Jian had a stern face. He was also scared. God knows why the explosion was. Maybe it was the Jiannu people who attacked the city?

"What's the meaning?"

"I can't follow the original price. I think it's unstable, 30,000 taels!"

The man suddenly widened his eyes and said, "What, my house worth 100,000 taels is sold for you for 50,000 taels, and you will be surrendered again?"

Deng Jianze said: "I feel panicked. Otherwise, I won't buy it, you can find another buyer..."

The seller became more and more panicked, wanting to ask someone to go out to find out what happened, but he was afraid that the buyer who had finally escaped.

Just as hesitated, the others were anxious to look for Deng Jian and said, "How much do you want to offer..."

At this time, the initiative was completely in the hands of Deng Jian. The person who was hesitating at 30,000 taels had to grit his teeth and said, "Sell, sell, sign now, buy it and leave!"

…………

Zhang Shun came out of the city following Yongding Gate and galloped all the way. After walking for seven or eight miles, he saw a vast crowd of people coming towards the direction of the capital in the distance.

Zhang Shun was shocked immediately and his face turned pale.

Looking at the team of people, it seems to be as large as a thousand people. From a distance, it is also very murderous.

He couldn't help feeling a little panicked, so he didn't dare to go up easily. After watching for a while, he also sent scouts from the team. The scout galloped over and investigated in person: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Seeing that the other party was wearing Ming army's cotton armor, Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, "Do you dare to ask if there is a hundred households here? Let's come with the order..."

"Follow me." The other party looked at Zhang Shun before saying.

When Zhang Shun saw Zhang Jingyi again, he cried.

He rolled down from the horse, wishing he could hold Zhang Jingyi's thigh and said pitifully: "Zhang Baihu, you're looking for you, Your Majesty's order..."

"Okay, okay, why are you crying? Am I not dead yet? Eunuch Zhang, we are old friends. Get up quickly and follow me into the city."

Zhang Shun was still in shock. He looked back at the long team, but was shocked again.

Those... are Jiannu people...

He saw the people with weak heads hanging down, but behind the head, there was a braid of money...

Suddenly, Zhang Shun felt fresh.

This must be the Jiannu people. Han people have hair growth, and there will be no such braids except the Jiannu people.

Even if it is fake, it will definitely not be able to do it, because this braid does not look like a newly shaved one. If it is a newly shaved one, you can see it at a glance.

He looked at these Jiannu people carefully, and was shocked and afraid, and did not dare to approach them, but he felt novel.

"You can go up and touch them, it doesn't matter." Zhang Jingyi instigated: "No, I'm here."

"Ha..." Zhang Shun smiled awkwardly: "We dare not."

He really dared not. In his eyes, there was no difference between the Jiannu and the orcs.

However... these Jiannu people were hung their heads and looked weak, and their hands and feet were tied up with ropes. On both sides were students who were guarding their knives at any time. When they looked at them carefully, they felt that these Jiannu people were not fierce. Instead, these students were all murderous.

Zhang Shun was overjoyed for a moment and hurriedly said, "Congratulations to Zhang Baihu, haha... Zhang Baihu defeated Jiannu... It's a happy congratulation."

He also found that there was a big cart behind the team. When he looked at the big cart carefully, he was shocked again. The cart was filled with heads, and lime was sprinkled on these heads, and there were a total of one or two hundred.

At this time, Zhang Shun only regretted that he had not borrowed money today, otherwise... he should have been filial to Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jingyi looked at him calmly and said, "Let's go, follow me into the city, come, send orders, tell everyone that they are about to enter the city, and they have all sorted out their clothes and armor for me. We are not beggars, we must enter the city with dignity."

"Here!" A shocking voice fell!

At this time, rumors were still flying in the city.

The garrison of Yongding Gate seemed very nervous. The palace had already issued an order to open the city gate. He first sent a military horse out of the city to guard the city before he could open the city gate.

In this way, if something happens, the city gate can be closed immediately.

Finally...the vast crowds of people are coming.

The garrison was calm and hurriedly turned over and ordered the deputy general to be prepared for response at any time. If he noticed something was wrong, close the door immediately.

He rode a horse and brought a team of people to meet him.

In the mind of the garrison, the so-called offering of prisoners is probably just a few Jiannu people who come back to repay their merits. On the one hand, it shows one's merits, and on the other hand, it also comforts people's hearts.

But when I came to the face, I looked closely and almost fell off my horse with a sound of my mother.

so much……

The oncoming military horses were all pressing their swords, and they were full of murderous intent. It was precisely the detained Jiannu people, but they were all depressed and depressed.

Suddenly, the guard suddenly became awe-inspiring.

In fact, in terms of grade, he is much higher than Zhang Jingyi, but at this time, he hurriedly said: "Get away, don't stop Zhang Baihu from becoming a triumphant success. All of them give me their debut and stand up straight."

As he said that, the others had dismounted and stood aside.

The personal guards behind him made their debut one after another, and they looked awe-inspiring, waiting without moving.

The people passed through Yongding Gate and appeared on the long street of the capital.

But at this time, the street was empty.

No one.

Everyone only knew that after opening the city gate, the military and civilians had long been frightened.

There are only mansions and shops along the street, and some people watch the movements outside through the cracks in the door.

The students were all proud and proud, stepping across the long street.

Occasionally, there will be bamboo whistles, which seem to convey certain passwords.
