At midnight, the occasional barking of dogs made the village look even quieter. Suddenly, the local dogs in the yard seemed to hear something, stood up suddenly, and barked loudly.

"Heizi, Heizi, don't yell..."

When he was awakened in his sleep, he was clamoring for his watchdog, suddenly, he stopped his words as if he was strangled by someone.

"His father, what's wrong..."

The woman beside her was about to speak, the man said in horror.

"Don't talk, hurry up, take the child to hide under the bed..."

The sound of horse hooves, like thunder, came from the direction of the village entrance. The quiet Dazhuang Village immediately became in unprecedented panic. Although Zichuan County is in the heart of Shandong, the Qing army also plagued some village markets in Zichuan County when the Qing army invaded a few months ago.

"The Tartar soldiers are coming again..."

When the sound of horse hooves woke up the people in the village from their sleep, Zhuang Ding in the Sun family mansion in the village also woke up. These Zhuang Ding Dings who were usually arrogant and bullying all turned pale and even scared to the point of wearing clothes.

"Hurry, hurry up, go and report to the master, Tartars, the Tartar soldiers are killed, and they are coming..."

In fact, there is no need to report at all. The deafening sound of horse hooves woke Sun Zhixi up from his sleep early in the morning.

"Dong, Donglu..."

The moment he sat up, he immediately shouted,

"Hurry, hurry, tell Ding Zhuang, no, don't resist, don't annoy the Manchu soldiers..."

Once the soldiers arrive, no grass will grow!

Almost subconsciously, a sentence like this appeared in Sun Zhixie's mind, which was the words in the notice issued by the Qing soldiers when the Qing soldiers invaded.

Although he was a former Hanlin Academy reviewer, he felt a little confused about the sudden emergence of Manchu soldiers, but because the court was most worried about the Qing soldiers from Liaodong Seaway to Shandong to harass him, he still subconsciously believed that the manchu soldiers were calling.

"Old, master, Tartars, Tartar soldiers, soldiers..."

"No need to panic, no need to panic!"

Sun Zhixie said as he spoke to his wife.

"Hurry, bring my official robe quickly, this is a great opportunity!"

In an instant, Sun Zhixie saw an opportunity. In the past dozens of times, he had been waiting for the opportunity. After passing the Jinshi exam during the Tianqi period, he was first awarded the Hanlin Censorship and later moved to the post. When Sun Zhixie became an official, it was during the period when Wei Zhongxian was in power. The eunuch party became popular, so he became a member of the eunuch party, which really lived a good life. After Wei Zhongxian fell from power in the first year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the destruction of the "Three Dynasties Essences" written by the eunuch party. For the purpose of speculation, Sun Zhixie went to Taimiao to cry bitterly. In August of that year, after being "deprived of the envoy party" by the imperial court, he had been waiting for the opportunity to come back, but how could he, who was included in the "eunuch party", come back? Now that he heard that the Manchu soldiers were attacking, he almost subconsciously had an idea - to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

"This is an opportunity..."

He quickly put on an official robe, and as he hurriedly walked out, he looked at his wife and said.

"Madam, the opportunity for your husband to make a comeback."

Then Sun Zhixie ran to the gate and saw Zhuang Ding holding a sword and gun, he immediately shouted.

"What do you want to do one by one? The Manchu soldiers came and actually used swords and guns to make them angry. They slashed you with one knife. Hurry up, put down the swords and guns, and kneel down with me to welcome the soldiers!"

OK!

The Zhuang Dings were stunned. What are you going to do?

"Old, Master, what are you doing?"

The butler Sun Er looked at the master in surprise.

"What are you doing? Of course you are kneeling down to welcome the heavenly soldiers, hurry up and... open the door!"

The door opened, almost as soon as the door opened, Sun Zhixie came from a distance as he heard the sound of horse hooves. The Manchu soldiers on the horse's back were running and threw torches on the house on the side of the road.

oops!

Those who killed people and set fires must be undoubtedly the Manchurian soldiers!

Developed, developed!

At this time, Sun Zhixie would think about the safety of the villagers in the village, and only one thought was left in his mind - will the emperor use him after he defected to the Qing Dynasty?

Finally, the sound of horse hooves approached. Almost as the cavalry rushed over, Sun Zhixie led the housekeeper and Zhuang Ding bowed and knelt down.

"The pre-Ming Dynasty attendant Sun Zhixie welcomed the Manchu general!"

Well!

Now it was Zhu Guoqiang's turn to be stunned. The sun's singing happened. This scene made him confused. General Manchu? Didn't he see the words written on my banner?

"I hope the Qing heavenly army is looking forward to the rain. Today, the heavenly army finally arrived and leads the entire village..."

"Bah, you traitor..."

Before Sun Zhixie could finish speaking, someone in Zhuang Ding suddenly stood up and shouted.

"You have humiliated your ancestors, don't hold us together. We are Han people and Ming people. If you want to be a traitor, don't hold us..."

Looking at Zhuang Ding who was rising, Zhu Guoqiang felt happy. There was a show to watch now.

"Hey, you are a bastard who is not a lord, come and break his legs..."

Although Sun Zhixie roared like thunder, no one moved. Although Zhuang Ding knelt on the ground, no one moved. Sun Zhixie, who was afraid of the Manchu general being annoyed, kowtowed to the Manchu general in the dark shadow.

"Refresh your anger, and you're just a ignorant person..."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

Zhu Guoqiang ignored him and stared at Zhuang Ding and asked.

"Die is death, life is a Ming people, death is a ghost..."

Zhuang Ding's answer made Zhu Guoqiang's heart heat up and he pondered.

"Everyone is often a dog-slaughtering person, but most of the unfaithful scholars are scholars. Sun Zhixie, please be optimistic about who is someone!"

Zhu Guoqiang sneered after taking a few steps forward.

"Sun Zhixie, you look up..."

Almost the moment he raised his head, Sun Zhixie's face was completely gone.

"Ah...you, you are bandits!"

How could it be a bandit?

How could it be a bandit? They, shouldn’t they be Manchurian soldiers?

What, how could it be?

Sun Zhixie looked at these bandits in horror, and he couldn't figure it out.

"No, I haven't heard of it..."

I have never heard of a large number of bandits riding horses in the nearby mountains. Shouldn’t this be a Manchu soldier?

It makes no sense...

Just when Sun Zhixie was puzzled, he heard the mountain king questioning on the horse's back.

"Sun Zhixie, what kind of clothes are you wearing..."

This, this... Sun Zhixie, who was trembling all over his body, immediately kowtowed and said.

"Yes, it's an official, the official robe..."

"Whose official robe!"

"Da, the Ming Dynasty...Da, please spare your life!"

"Hmph, you Sun Zhixie, you actually have the face to put on the Ming Dynasty official robe. Come on, take off his official robe!"
