Chapter 940

Liangxiang, after the great battle, His Majesty is missing, Commander Cao Zhengchun is dead.

A few days later, when Zhang Cheng received the letter from Cao Shaoqin, his whole body turned gloomy.

Because the facts were exactly as he thought, the gentle and frugal Commander was murdered!

Galloping toward Jiangnan, Zhang Cheng said on the road: "Lin Pingzhi, go do something for me!"

"Please speak, Thousand-Household!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lin Pingzhi hurriedly spoke.

"Go to Kunlun Heavenly Pool, help me bring the person inside out! Don't make a sound, and don't let anyone know!"

Speaking to Lin Pingzhi, Zhang Cheng looked at Tiezhua Feiying beside him.

And just as Tiezhua Feiying heard the word Heavenly Pool, he was stunned.

But before he could react, Zhang Cheng had already wrapped his hands around his neck.

Watching Zhang Cheng's movements, not only Lin Pingzhi, but the other Eastern Depot agents were dumbfounded.

"You thought I didn't see that you were an inside agent? Since the Commander is dead, there's no need for you to live either!"

Constantly exerting force with his arms, Zhang Cheng strangled Tiezhua Feiying like a python.

Watching Tiezhua Feiying fall to the ground, the people present couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Because Tiezhua Feiying was the Commander's trusted subordinate!

"From now on, everyone send an eight-hundred-li urgent message, rush to Jiangnan, search for His Majesty's whereabouts along the way!"

Speaking coldly, Zhang Cheng looked at Lin Pingzhi.

"Yes!"

Bowing and saluting, Lin Pingzhi immediately turned and left.

Half a month later, in the land of Jiangnan, Qixia Town,

Two men who looked like beggars were squatting on the ground.

"Your Majesty... Young Master Huang, I'm so hungry!"

Looking at Hearing Zhengde aggrievedly, Sima Xi, whose stomach was growling, spoke.

And hearing Sima Xi's words, Hearing Zhengde was also miserable: "I'm hungry too! Those rebels are really too much!"

Thinking of the pursuit he encountered all the way, Hearing Zhengde couldn't help but sigh at his bitter fate.

Because it was good that he ran to Jiangnan, if he returned to the capital, he wouldn't have his life!

"Shopkeeper, look, new people have arrived!"

Walking out of the inn, Bai Zhantang looked at Hearing Zhengde and Sima Xi in front of him and couldn't help but tease.

"Yo, it really is!"

Walking out with a slender waist, Tong Tong Xiangyu looked at Hearing Zhengde and Sima Xi and spoke: "Jin Dazui, Jin Dazui, take a few steamed buns out!"

"Alright!"

Hearing Tong Tong Xiangyu's words, Li Jin Dazui brought out the steamed buns: "Brother, eat, our shopkeeper has the kindest heart!"

"Hey, Jin Dazui, you really know how to talk!"

Patting Li Jin Dazui's shoulder, Tong Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but laugh.

Gnawing on the steamed bun, Sima Xi couldn't help but say: "Hey, I really didn't expect that I would end up like this..."

Hearing Sima Xi's words, Hearing Zhengde turned his head: "Shopkeeper, are you still hiring? Just give me a bite to eat, I can do anything!"

"Hiring?"

Hearing Hearing Zhengde's words, Tong Tong Xiangyu thought for a moment: "Okay, since you asked sincerely, then I'll hire you? The back kitchen still needs two handymen!"

Watching Tong Tong Xiangyu say this, Hearing Zhengde and Sima Xi were happy, because they seemed to have a place to stay.

Just as Hearing Zhengde and Sima Xi were temporarily staying at the Tongfu Inn to work, Zhu Zhu Wushi, who was rushing to Jiangnan, turned cold, because he found that Tiezhua Feiying's news was gone.

Associating with the people the Eastern Depot sent to Jiangnan, Zhu Zhu Wushi immediately guessed that it must be Zhang Cheng who made the move, because only this person would be so unscrupulous.

Thinking of Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami dying, but helping him delay time, Zhu Zhu Wushi immediately turned his head: "Haven't found His Majesty's whereabouts yet?"

"Foster father, temporarily haven't found it, but there is news that the last position he appeared in should be Qixia Town!"

Speaking to Zhu Zhu Wushi, Guihai Guihai Yidao hurriedly spoke.

"Good, now rush to Qixia Town, must find him before the Eastern Depot holds His Majesty hostage!"

Speaking seriously, Zhu Zhu Wushi became serious.

However, hearing Zhu Zhu Wushi's words, Shangguan Haitang and the others frowned.

Because the foster father clearly said he went to save His Majesty after getting the news, but why did he fight with Cao Zhengchun afterward, and the people they faced were all Eastern Depot, there was no enemy at all!

And the rebel army that appeared that night seemed more like Hulong Villa's dead soldiers!

When one clue after another was connected, Shangguan Haitang and the others felt a numb scalp at this moment, because they seemed more like rebels!

Resting in Qixia Town for a few days, Hearing Zhengde, who had changed his appearance, was pouring water for guests.

Exploring history books with Lu Xiucai, Sima Xi was quite appreciative: "Your literary talent is enough to participate in the imperial examination!"

"Really?"

Looking at Sima Xi in shock, Lu Xiucai asked.

"Fake! Reading books to death is useless, you have to work hard!"

Patting Lu Xiucai's shoulder, Sima Xi was quite proud.

Because back then, when he became a scholar, it was before the age of thirty!

Otherwise, how could he become a historian?

But just when the inn was lively, a lot of people suddenly appeared outside the door.

When Hearing Zhengde saw this scene, he hurriedly lowered his head and retreated to the back.

"Where is His Majesty going?"

Looking at Hearing Zhengde with a smile, Zhu Zhu Wushi had already discovered him, because Sima Xi was at the counter!

"His Majesty?"

Looking at this scene in shock, Bai Zhantang and the others were dumbfounded, because who is His Majesty?

"Imperial Uncle, I really didn't expect that the first one to find me would be you!"

Looking at Zhu Zhu Wushi in front of him, Hearing Zhengde also took off his hat and smiled.

"To find His Majesty, this subject traveled day and night, rushing all the way here, just to welcome you back!"

Looking at Hearing Zhengde in front of him, Zhu Zhu Wushi's eyes flashed, cold light piercing.

"My dear mother, you are the Emperor?"

Looking at Hearing Zhengde in disbelief, Tong Tong Xiangyu was stunned.

"Mom, Emperor!"

Covering her mouth, Guo Furong and the others were also full of exclamation.

Because this is simply more terrifying than winning the lottery!

"Take His Majesty away!"

Walking forward, Zhu Zhu Wushi gave the order immediately.

But just then, Bai Zhantang saw something wrong, because Hearing Zhengde was clearly afraid of the person in front of him, and hurriedly blocked them: "His Majesty's work is not finished yet!"

"Joke, how can His Majesty do such a thing, and, what are you, daring to block in front of this Marquis!"

Scolding Bai Zhantang, Zhu Zhu Wushi's domineering aura was fully displayed.

Scared and unable to move, Bai Zhantang looked at Hearing Zhengde behind him.

"Forget it, I'll go with them! Thank you for these days!"

Speaking with a smile, Hearing Zhengde patted his shoulder.

But just then, Tong Tong Xiangyu shouted: "Come, close the door, Jin Dazui, Zhantang, grab the weapons!"

"Ah, charge!"

Shouting and rushing up, Guo Furong and the others were stunned in the next second, because the people behind Zhu Zhu Wushi drew their swords.

"Iron-Clad Marquis really has a great official prestige, actually bullying a group of inn waiters here!"

Walking in from outside, Zhang Cheng was wearing the imperial-bestowed Flying Fish Robe, with a jade belt around his waist.

And seeing Zhang Cheng appear, Tong Tong Xiangyu was surprised: "Zhang Zhang Xinzhi?"

"You know each other too?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng appear in shock, Hearing Zhengde gained confidence.

"He was like you back then, begging at the door of the inn!"

Looking at Hearing Zhengde, Lu Xiucai explained.

And hearing this, Hearing Zhengde was stunned on the spot, because Zhang Cheng also begged?

Zhang Cheng: I begged more than once!
