Pa--
A slap rang out.
Zuo Liangyu's hair was a little messy after being beaten up. He covered his face with his hand, which had five distinct red fingerprints. After a few strokes, he spat out a broken tooth from his mouth. His eyes were a little crazy.
He was still talking a second ago, but he was suddenly stunned.
Zuo Liangyu's shocked and furious voice was stuck in his throat and mouth. Mixed with the blood in his mouth, he roared hoarsely,"
"Wang Cheng! You dare to hit me?"
The impact caused Zuo Liangyu, who was standing in front of the palace door, to tense up.
He stood there, gritting his teeth as he watched the other party slowly pull back his sleeves. He stared at Wang Cheng, his eyes red, and his breathing gradually became heavy.
He was also a person who was proud of his courage and strength, and he was narrow-minded. Today, he was slapped by Wang Cheng like this. If word got out, how would he be able to live?
They were all Great Generals and Marquises, and they had the same number of soldiers. How could Zuo Liangyu be afraid of Wang Cheng?
When he heard the strange sound, the Imperial Blade Officer on duty walked over and opened his mouth to shout in a low and dignified voice,"Who dares to make a ruckus in front of the emperor?"
However, after seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly, the saber-bearer opened his mouth slightly. His pupils constricted, and the muscles on his face twitched twice. He let out a dry cough and turned around to leave. The hand holding the saber instantly sweated.
In front of the hall, Wang Cheng and Zuo Liangyu looked at each other for two breaths.
Wang Cheng said with a cold expression. He took a step towards Zuo Liangyu. His slender figure was a head taller than Zuo Liangyu. He looked down at Zuo Liangyu and stared into his eyes indifferently."
"I'm hitting you. What do you think? If it wasn't for the fact that you were still useful, I would have killed you right now. If you still want to attack, you will die!”
Zuo Liangyu was stunned. He felt his heart palpitate. His pupils constricted, and his eyes were filled with horror. His many years of experience in the military made him clear that Wang Cheng really had the intention to kill him.
Moreover, Wang Cheng really did not care about killing him in front of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu's scalp went numb, and all the hair on his body stood on end. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his heart seemed to have skipped a beat.
He looked at Wang Cheng's face that was flickering in the shadows and stood stiffly on the spot.
However, Wang Cheng's words continued,""Tomorrow morning, take your men and scram back to Huguang. Immediately attack Zhang Xianzhong. If you dare to work without putting in any effort, I'll kill you. I have the final say on when to return to court.”
His cold tone was like a bone-chilling wind, making Zuo Liangyu shiver. Cold sweat dripped down like a waterfall. As soon as Wang Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the stairs. He couldn't be bothered to look at Zuo Liangyu.
Below the stone steps, in the direction where Wang Cheng had come from, countless people in the shadows had their hands on their weapons as they stared coldly at them.
The leader of the group was a leopard with a pair of eyes. He held a bow in his hand without any restraint, and the iron arrowhead on it occasionally flashed with a cold light.
Zuo Liangyu stared at Wang Cheng's cloak that was fluttering in the night wind, and his dry lips trembled slightly.
In the end, he still bent down and gritted his teeth, saying dryly,"Zuo Liangyu will obey the orders of Great General Jun.”
"You're worth teaching!"
Wang Cheng's figure paused for a moment as he left. Zuo Liangyu's face turned red when he heard his voice. The shame and anger in his heart were like an erupting volcano, tormenting him.
However, Zuo Liangyu's gaze did not miss Wang Cheng's words and actions at all. It was as if he had memorized them in his heart. That was probably a kind of desire called greed.
"Wang Cheng-"
"Just you wait. One day, I'll stand at a higher height than you and look at you who's like me now.”
"Wait…"
Wang Cheng, who had walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, took his Red Dragon Emblem from Ran Min's hands and flew onto his horse.
"…Just you wait, Your Majesty."
Wang Cheng turned his head and looked at the Palace of Heavenly Purity behind him. His gaze followed the horse as it moved slowly."If we can't suppress Chongzhen this time, it won't be long before you suffer a little.”
After saying that, Wang Cheng shook the reins in his hand and led his followers out of the palace like a whirlwind.
The sound of hurried horse hooves was particularly ear-piercing in the Forbidden City.
……
The night was silent. Zuo Liangyu did not leave the next day. The smoke coming from the north completely shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.
In the fifth month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, the ice river was unfrozen. The commander of Liaodong Town, Wu Sangui, the Western Lord of Ming Dynasty, led the 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and 150,000 Liaodong soldiers to shave their hair and change their clothes. They submitted to Houjin, and hundreds of thousands of Ming people became slaves.
On the same day, Huang Taiji led 400,000 troops to worship the heavens in Shengjing. He worshiped Wu Sangui as the King of Pingxi, with his 18 troops as the vanguard. The 400,000 troops of the Later Jin were the central troops, and the 200,000 Mongolian cavalry were the support troops. The three armies were known as millions. They advanced on land and water as they marched south.
The entire country was attacking the Ming Dynasty!
