Half a month later.

The north end of Linhuai Floating Bridge.

"Is this Zhongdu?"

Wanli said in a chilling voice.

His Majesty the Emperor's gaze was looking at the endless wild smoke and weeds ahead.

He finally returned to his ancestral home, and was really angry at this moment because he didn't see any prosperity in the Ming Dynasty. He looked even worse than Luxi. Luxi was just poor, but the population was still quite large, and the Ming Dynasty was not only poor, but even sparsely populated...

It can be called a wilderness.

"High rain and heavy disasters, light rain and light disasters, no rain and droughts."

A guard said.

These guards were originally from Huainan.

Yang Feng specially selected the combat effectiveness is secondary. The key is to be familiar with the situation along the way, which is essentially a guide.

Among them are Fengyang local ones.

"Aren't Linhuai and Fengyang counties exempt from ancestral taxes?"

Wanli took a deep breath and said with a little chill.

"Master, this is the capital of Zhongdu. There are not many other officials, including Fengyang Prefecture, the officials who are left behind the officials, and the officials under the Central Office have to be in charge of the people. The population is not large, and the disasters in this place every year, and the officials have to be in charge of the officials. At most, one person has to be in charge of eight parts of the poor. The people really can't survive. The smallest one is Fengyang County, but the small one is a fleeing household. When the small family fled, the total population of Fengyang County was only more than 10,000.

Then there are the guards who stayed behind in the Sige, but there were even fewer one guard, and there were less than a thousand households.

The fewer people, the more sad the rest, the more the servants have to pile them up, the food they lack in the ward has to be found, and the end has to run away."

The latter answered.

His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath again, and then he looked at Yang Feng beside him...

"Let you make a joke!"

He said.

The latter shook his head quickly.

"No, no!"

He said.

Wanli snorted coldly and quickly urged the horse to walk forward.

The imperial concubine gave Yang Feng a blank look in the sedan chair, and then they followed His Majesty the Emperor and continued to move forward and soon arrived at Linhuai Bridge.

Soldiers have checked passersby here, or blackmailed them there.

However, they all looked rich and powerful. The soldiers could not even recognize the expensive fur on His Majesty the Emperor, so they quickly let the officer go. The leader was still polite. Yang Feng threw a ingot of gold at him, and immediately called a soldier with a flattering look on his face to open the way for them to carry a whip in front of them.

They had just walked to the middle of this pontoon bridge that was more than a mile long, and several cavalrymen came over and rushed straight to them...

"Stop!"

The leader shouted suddenly.

He then turned his head to look at Yang Feng, and then instinctively wiped his eyes.

Yang Feng pointed at Wanli, and the cavalry wiped his eyes again, but this was obviously a clever ghost, and he dismounted without hesitation...

"Master, how did you get here?"

He saluted and said.

"Master Zhu abandoned his official position from the capital and returned south, but he didn't want to meet here. Brother Wang is now high?"

Yang Feng replied.

OK, this is one of the tinders.

"The young man is now a sentry officer under Zhu Dashui. Brothers, Master Zhu is a nobleman in the capital. This eldest brother Yang is my benefactor. Let's escort them back to the city first."

One of the fire seeds Wang Gui turned around and shouted.

The soldiers quickly saluted. The soldiers who had originally pioneered the way were driven back by them. Then they guarded Yang Feng and others quickly crossed the bridge and headed to Fengyang City more than ten miles away. They soon entered the Ming Zhongdu. As soon as they entered the city, they met a large group of cavalry. The leader of the veteran general looked at them in confusion, and Wang Gui quickly stepped forward...

"Master General, this is Zhu Kedao, who abandoned his official position in the capital and went south. He is an old friend of Li Junmen. The young man met his family's General Manager Yang in the capital."

He saluted and said.

Obviously this is Zhu Wenda.

The veteran general of the Qi family army, from Chi'an, Yiwu, has been following Qi Jiguang since his establishment. It can be said that Qi Jiguang was completely promoted.

He also stayed in Jizhen and served as the commander of the southern army in the east, but for a short time, he mainly led troops in various parts of the south, from Guangdong and Guangxi to Sichuan, and suppressed the messy rebellion. He used to be the deputy general of the governor to serve as the deputy general of Jiangxi. But he had never seen Wanli. In fact, there were not many generals like him who had been leading troops outside, who had seen the emperor. His Majesty's house attribute made him not have to worry about being exposed. It is probably the Fengyang eunuch Du Yong who had seen him close.

Even Governor Li Rimao met him during the palace examination.

But that was more than ten years ago.

And when he was lying in the hall for an exam, he was at least dozens of meters away from him. Then he was the one who was the highest in other places to achieve military preparations and was not qualified to enter the palace to meet the emperor, so when he actually met, Li Rimao could not know him.

General Zhu obviously belonged to that kind of decent military general. When he heard that it was Ke Dao, he immediately respected him and quickly stepped forward to greet Wanli.

"Zhu Kedao, what's the situation in the capital?"

Zhu Wenda asked.

While talking, he turned around and took Wanli to the left-behind yamen.

Fengyang Governor Li Rimao stayed in the department.

"The army of rebels has moved south, and it is estimated that it should be in Jinan at this time."

Wanli said.

"Your Majesty is really killed by the rebels?"

Zhu Wenda said.

"I only know that the Qianqing Palace was burned to pieces. As for the life and death of Your Majesty, there is indeed this rumor, but I have never seen Your Majesty again."

Wanli answered with anger.

"Then Yang Nizhen killed all the ministers?"

Zhu Wenda continued to ask.

"Yes, blood flows like a river in front of Chengtian Gate!"

His Majesty the Emperor said without hesitation.

Yang Feng smiled reservedly behind him, and the imperial concubine behind him continued to roll her eyes.

"If you say that the tyrant is really good at killing the king, since Sun Hanlin and others said that seeing Your Majesty with their own eyes is fake, then it would be true. Alas, I am considered to be promoted by Your Majesty, but I don't expect Your Majesty to collapse like this. If you say that he continued to appoint Duke Qi to command Jizhen back then, why would this cause be in trouble!"

Zhu Wenda said in a nagging manner.

Wanli next to him had a dark face.

They said this and walked to the left-behind office. Then Wanli dismounted, and the imperial concubine got out of the sedan chair and the group walked in directly. The guards, including Wang Gui and others, stayed outside the second gate to protect the imperial concubine. Yang Feng protected Wanli and soon they arrived at the lobby. In the lobby, Li Rimao was sitting behind the table in front, with civil and military sitting on both sides, and an old eunuch sitting on the side of the general. Li Rimao stood two generals on the left and right, probably his trusted bodyguard.

"Shishou Zhu, who is this?"

Li Rimao looked at Wanli who was following Zhu Wenda in confusion.

The others also turned their heads and looked at them in confusion. The old eunuch stood up in shock, but he was obviously unable to confirm, and just stared at Wanli in confusion.

He hasn't seen the emperor for many years.

"Military, this guy..."

Zhu Wenda also said with some confusion.

Then a hand appeared on his shoulder...

"General Zhu, please let me go, I want to go over and kill someone!"

A voice rang behind him.

Zhu Wenda turned his head in shock, and the next moment, the figure flashed in front of him, and then Yang Feng arrived in front of him.

He instinctively drew his sword, but Yang Feng, who was extremely fast at the same time, had already arrived in front of Li Rimao. The latter did not react slowly, and suddenly stood up behind the table and was about to leave. The two people on the left and right drew their swords at the same time. Yang Feng directly hit the table at a speed comparable to a war horse running wildly. The heavy table suddenly flipped up with his impact and instantly hit Li Rimao and the other two. The three of them were knocked and screamed and retreated at the same time, but Yang Feng continued to move forward with the table.

A sudden dull impact.

Li Rimao and the other two were squeezed on the wall behind.

The two men who were drawing the sword, even pulling out most of the swords with their arms, were all knocked against them.

They were like three trapped mice.

Yang Feng, who was across the table, instantly appeared on Governor Li's neck...

"Bold thief, why don't you stop!"

Zhu Wenda roared behind him.

Yang Feng turned around speechlessly...
