midnight.

After a busy whole night, Li Guozhen, deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, returned to his tent, took a breath of exhaustion and collapsed on the chair.

It is not very easy to accept 100,000 troops at once.

Even though Li Guozhen only played a role in assisting the British Duke in this matter, it also exhausted him.

At this moment, Li Guozhen's personal guard captain walked in and said, "General, General Li Pi is asking for a meeting outside."

Li Guozhen was stunned for a moment and said, "What are he here? Didn't he just separate? Forget it, let him come in."

A moment later, a middle-aged general walked into the tent and saluted Li Guozhen: "I have met Xiangcheng Bo in the end."

Li Guozhen looked at the middle-aged general in front of him with some surprise and said, "Uncle Thirteen, what's wrong with you?"

Li Pi and Li Guozhen are of the same clan, and they are ranked thirteenth among the clans. They are called Li Guozhen as Uncle Thirteen, not that Li Guozhen's grandfather gave birth to thirteen sons.

Li Pi said seriously: "There are indeed some things to say to the general, but this matter is critical and cannot be heard."

Li Guozhen did not arouse doubts and said, "Then you come closer and talk."

Li Pi approached Li Guozhen and whispered: "I wonder what Xiangcheng Bo thinks about this person, Zuo Menggeng?"

Li Guozhen was stunned for a moment and said to Li Pi: "Uncle Thirteen, why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Li Pi said: "I would like to ask Xiangcheng Bo to answer."

Li Guozhen touched his nose and said, "I am not familiar with Zuo Menggeng and Zuo Liangyu's father and son. But the father and son have their own troops. It is also their fault that the court and the prince want to get rid of them."

When Li Pi heard this, his face changed slightly.

Li Guozhen obviously felt something and said to Li Pi: "Does the Thirteenth Uncle want to plead for this Zuo Menggeng? I advise you to give up this thought."

Li Pi had no choice but to smile bitterly, "I'm not hiding Xiangcheng Bo. In fact, the late general and General Zuo Liangyu were colleagues in the Guanning Army. In one battle, Zuo Liangyu saved the life of the general. So... I also asked Xiangcheng Bo to plead for Zuo Menggeng. If it can be accomplished, the late general would be grateful to Xiangcheng Bo for his great kindness."

Li Guozhen was silent.

After a long time, Li Guozhen shook his head helplessly and said, "Uncle Thirteen, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's really that there is no room for me to intervene in this matter. You must know that this is the prince himself. If I really intervene, wouldn't it be against the prince? I can still consider other things, but I don't have to mention this matter again."

Li Guozhen also had a scheming in his heart. Nowadays, anyone can offend him, but it is absolutely impossible to offend the prince.

Wei Zaode, Cao Huachun, Wu Sangui... So many former big men of the Ming Dynasty wanted to oppose the prince. Now the grass on the grave is several feet tall, and Li Guozhen is not stupid, so how could he do it?

Therefore, no matter how Li Pi begs next, Li Guozhen was still unmoved and refused directly.

Li Pi said helplessly: "Can you really not give Mo Jiang this face?"

Li Guozhen sighed, "Uncle Thirteen, it really doesn't work."

Li Pi seemed to be determined and suddenly looked up in surprise: "Who?"

Li Guozhen subconsciously turned his head to look, but found that his vision was empty.

Before Li Guozhen could react, he suddenly suffered a heavy blow on the back of his head and fainted on the spot.

Li Pi reached out to hold Li Guozhen who had fainted, looked around in panic. After waiting for a while, he made sure that the personal soldiers outside the camp did not notice it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Pi rummaged through Li Guozhen, found a token, carefully put it on him, and then placed Li Guozhen on the bed to look like he was sleeping, and then left quickly.

Zuo Menggeng was very angry.

His anger not only comes from the stolen cheeks being taken away, but also from his swollen cheeks.

"One day, I will make this Zhu Cilang pay the price!"

Zuo Menggeng lay on the bed, moaning angryly, and his cheeks twitched from time to time, which seemed quite painful.

Suddenly, someone walked into the tent, Zuo Menggeng was shocked and subconsciously shrank into the corner.

A man whispered: "Don't move, I'm here to save you."

Zuo Menggeng was half-believing and half-doubting.

After a while, Zuo Menggeng stood outside the camp, surprised and happy, and wanted to roar to the sky, but Li Pi caught him.

"General Zuo, this is not the place to speak, come with me!"

Soon, Zuo Menggeng saw the camp wall, but he shook Li Pi's hand away.

Li Pi looked at Zuo Menggeng in surprise: "General Zuo, don't you want to leave this place? Come with me quickly, I'll take you back to see Lingzun."

Zuo Menggeng shook his head, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "General Li, I can't just leave like this. My father gave me a 50,000 army. If I leave like this, how can I go back and explain it to my father?"

Li Pi was stupid. You know, in order to save Zuo Menggeng, he risked his offense to offend Li Guozhen and might even be fired by his family in the future. As a result, he is rescued and he will not leave?

Zuo Menggeng looked at Li Pi and said in a deep voice: "General Li Pi, please help me again and take me back to the barracks of our Zuo Family Army."

Li Pi was anxious and said, "General Zuo, there has been controlled by the Duke of England and the people of Xiangcheng Bo. If we go back, we will fall into the trap."

Zuo Menggeng sneered and said, "General Li, you underestimate our Zuo family too much. My father and I have worked hard to run the army for so many years. How could we be controlled by the Duke of England and the others in one night? As soon as I go back, the control of this army will return to my hands. At that time, we will take this army back directly. I want to see if the prince dares to really have a civil war with our Zuo family army outside Jinan City!"

After hearing Zuo Menggeng's words, Li Pi's face was gloomy and obviously struggled quite.

Seeing this, Zuo Menggeng held Li Pi's hand and said earnestly: "General Li, don't you want wealth and glory? As long as you can help me this time, after returning to Hubei, I will definitely ask my father to recommend you to be a high-ranking official, and I don't believe that the emperor dare not buy our account!"

Zuo Menggeng actually said one more thing, that is - if Chongzhen really doesn't buy it, just because of today's humiliation, what's the harm that the Zuo family father and son have rebelled against the Ming Dynasty!

Li Pi was finally moved by Zuo Menggeng's words, and gave up his plan to escape with Zuo Menggeng alone, and said, "General Zuo, please come with me. I have the token of Xiangcheng Bo, and I can also be unobstructed in the camp at night!"

Zuo Menggeng was overjoyed: "It's so great!"

In the night, Li Pi and Zuo Menggeng rushed towards the Zuo family army camp in the distance.

...

Zhu Cilang had a dream.

In the dream, countless bellies and swallows surround him.

"Your Majesty, come here..."

"Your Majesty, I'm here..."

"Your Majesty, come and catch me, hehehe..."

Before he knew it, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Cilang's mouth.

Suddenly, the picture in the dream shattered like a mirror, and a sound broke into Zhu Cilang's mind.

"The system detected an emergency incident and triggered an emergency mission: Please ask the host to arrive at the Zuo Family Army camp in the south of the city within half an hour, capture or kill Zuo Menggeng, and calm the possible outbreak of the Zuo Family Army's camp."

The system's voice was played three times in Zhu Cixuan's mind.

Zhu Cilang sat up immediately, and his consciousness recovered from awakening at an extremely fast speed.

"Zuo Menggeng? Isn't it wrong?" Zhu Ciyang was a little surprised, thinking that Zuo Menggeng had been taken into custody?

But the system cannot make mistakes, so...

"Stand up, square up!" Zhu Cilang screamed.

Soon, Fang Gonggan rubbed his eyes and appeared: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Zhu Cixuan grabbed Fang Gonggan and asked, "I ask you, where is Zuo Menggeng?"

Fang Gonggan was stunned for a moment and said, "I have already taken care of it."

Zhu Cixuan said: "Is it our people who are in charge?"

Fang Gonggan shook his head and said, "His Highness, have you forgotten? Capturing these things is the responsibility of Deputy General Xiangcheng, and it is not easy for me to interfere."

Zhu Cilang slapped his thigh and was a little annoyed: "This Li Guozhen can't even look at a prisoner. What a fool!"

Fang Gonggan realized something: "Your Highness, is it because the situation on Zuo Menggeng is not good?"

Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "That's right, Zuo Menggeng ran away!"

Fang Gong was shocked: "Have you run away?"

Before Fang Gonggan could react, Zhu Cilang issued an order: "You send someone to inform Xiangcheng Bo and the British Duke immediately, and said that Zuo Menggeng had run away. He should be in the camp of the Zuo family army and plan to regain the military power of the Zuo family army!"

Fang Gonggan heard this and hurriedly said, "I will do it now, wait, where are you going, your highness?"

Zhu Cixuan had already stood up and put on his clothes at a very fast speed, and said nonsense: "Where can you go? Of course, I will go to the Zuo Family Army's camp to solve this problem!"

Fang Gonggan was dull.

A few seconds later, Fang Gonggan hugged Zhu Cilang's thigh: "Your Highness, this matter must not be done. The situation in the Zuo family army is now unpredictable. If your Highness goes, you may encounter an unexpected situation. It is better to sit in the tent and let the Duke of England and Xiangcheng Bo adapt to the situation."

Zhu Cilang shook his head and said, "No, I must go. If I don't go, I'm afraid it will be out of control."

Zhu Cixuan has had a preliminary understanding of the system over the past period of time. If it weren't for the urgent matter, the system would not need to remind Zhu Cixuan so quickly.

However, no matter what Zhu Cilang said, Fang Gonggan hugged Zhu Cilang's thighs tightly and refused to let go.

Zhu Cilang was angry: "Get up quickly, otherwise I will marry you ten wives when I go back!"

Fang Gonggan: "!!!"

If a eunuch marrys a wife, wouldn’t he be cuckolded for himself?

Fang Gonggan stood up in a flash, looking righteous: "I will summon your highness to the camp of the Zuo Family Army!"
