Pu Jingwu's arms were still tied behind his back. The virtuous old man didn't find the knife, so he climbed behind Pu Jingwu and reached out to untie the rope.Her hands were shaking, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't figure out what to do for a while.Lord Xianhui took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, stared at the knotted rope, and insisted on it.

Finally untied the knot!The rope loosened slightly, and Pu Jingwu hurriedly struggled to break free of the hemp rope, got up, and protected the virtuous Weng Lord behind him.

There were only dozens of "robbers" here, and the fighting didn't last long, and soon those people died, wounded, or arrested.

Previously on the post road, the "robbers" raided the guards of the Ming army very fiercely; however, when the strong and well-equipped cavalry brigade came, the "robbers" were almost vulnerable, and were soon besieged from all sides and collapsed!

The virtuous old man saw the two fights, and felt that one of them was more vicious|cruel than the other!

At this moment, flags and flags stood everywhere in the woods, and behind a big flag with the word "Ming" written on it, a very eye-catching and strange big man came out amidst the crowd.

Even before the lord Xianhui saw the flag, he already guessed that this group of troops were the Ming Dynasty army!The soldiers were all wearing military uniforms, with the same armor and helmets. In the Ming Dynasty, apart from the Ming army, how could there be so many troops?

And they are most likely the people of Ming Emperor Zhu Gaoxu!The virtuous Weng Lord heard the news before that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will personally conquer the Mongolian barbarians this year, and he should be near the Beiping chief envoy recently... The emperor may have heard the news of the "robbers" from somewhere, so he came to the rescue in time!

After the battle, the big man came out on horseback.He immediately noticed Lord Xianhui, staring at her.

The virtuous Lord also paid the most attention to this man, and saw that he was very strong and unique, sitting on the horse looked like a square hill on the horse's back, making the war horse a little weak.

Because the weather was a bit hot, the big man didn't even have any clothing between his shoulder armor and wrist armor, and his golden muscles were exposed, which was very frightening.That arm was thicker than the average person's leg, and the iron shield and iron ax twisted in his hand seemed to be light and light.

It is easier for women to pay attention to the decorations. The virtuous Lord only took one look and saw that the saddle and stirrups were made of luxurious materials; the sheath of the saber on the man's waist was actually inlaid with gold and precious stones!The people around are respectful to him, it seems that this person has a very high status, he is by no means an ordinary general...

The Ming Dynasty, in the books and the words of the officials, once gave the virtuous Lord the impression of a state of etiquette, literary talent, elegance and grandeur; and at this moment, all illusions have disappeared!Just looking at these people, the virtuous Lord thinks that Daming seems to be a country full of violence!

The big man's expression was arrogant, with a hint of laughter.The surroundings are obviously filled with blood|greed, and miserable and painful groans|groans are everywhere!And not only did he get used to it without changing his expression, he could actually smile?

"You are the clan of North Korea, the virtuous Lord?" the big man asked.

The virtuous old man nodded in a daze.

The big man glanced at her again, and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful! But when you enter the palace, you have to put in more effort and fight for success."

The virtuous old man was still in shock, and hadn't recovered from the extreme fear just now, so he didn't think about how to respond for a while.But the big man didn't seem to care, and soon turned his head to talk to others.

There was a military general kneeling on one knee next to the big man, and the big man said at this time: "The ones who are alive, take them all away!"

"Decree!" The general clasped his fists in response.

The big man quickly patted his horse and left here, staring at the captured prisoners.

The virtuous Lord Weng, Pu Jingwu, and Kang Shunchen, three North Koreans, were no longer tied up, and followed the Ming soldiers and horses to the woods on foot.And Li Qi, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty who went to North Korea|North Korea, has disappeared, and seems to be with the generals of the Ming army.

A group of people climbed two hills, and when they came to the post road, they saw those "robbers" who had stayed here to pack up the corpses. Those who were still alive were also captured, and they were being tied into a long string, all drooping. head.

At this time, a general of the Ming army came, pointing to the carriageway in the distance: "The virtuous Lord still rides in the carriage, but the shaft horse has been replaced. Others, go over there to get the mount!"

North Korea's envoy Kang Shunchen hastily bowed down to thank him.He is a middle-aged civil servant who is familiar with Chinese characters and Ming etiquette; at the beginning, the virtuous Lord thought that the Ming Dynasty was a paradise, and many descriptions came from this Kang Shunchen's bragging.

As soon as Lord Xianhui walked to the side of the carriage, Pu Jingwu, who had led the horse, was the first to pat the horse and gallop over to protect her.

At this time, Pu Jingwu said in North Korean: "The burly man who spoke to Weng Lord before, his body and appearance are different from ordinary people, so he couldn't be the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"

"Ah?" Lord Xianhui was taken aback.

Pu Jingwu said: "Listen to his tone, and look at the respect others treat him, very similar! I heard that Emperor Wude fought wars since he was a child, and he is a warrior himself."

When he said this, Lord Xianhui thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible!

Pu Jingwu said again: "I'll ask Kang Shunchen later."

Lord Xianhui was in pain and weak all over, she nodded and struggled to get on the carriage.She suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Pu Jingwu, do you know where we are going now?"

Pu Jingwu said: "I asked. He said he was going to Kaiping City, and the Emperor Ming's army gathered there." He glanced ahead and said, "It shouldn't be too far away."

The virtuous old man responded, and put down the curtain of the car.She leaned back and let out a long sigh.

Not long after, amidst the noise of horseshoes around, the carriage was driven, and it was still heading west.The virtuous Mrs. Hui was exhausted physically and mentally, and her condition was very bad. She only felt that the carriage bumped a lot more than before, which made her feel bad and every joint hurt.

Her dress was torn, and her body was dirty, with mud, blood, brains, and all kinds of unclear filth.Although the people who fought twice did not target her, and fortunately they did not accidentally injure her, but there were also wounds and abrasions on the body, and the pain felt more intense at this time.

The virtuous Lord's mood was also extremely bad, and the rest of her life after the catastrophe could not dispel her fear.

Strange country, hidden plots, unexplained killings, and the emperor who is more brutal and terrifying than any other... The sun outside the carriage is dazzling, but inside the carriage seems to be heavy haze, shrouding the heart of the virtuous lord .

She picked up a corner of the car curtain to observe the scenery outside, only to see undulating hillsides, covered with weeds, and the surrounding area was barren, and she didn't even see a village.On the post road on a sunny day, the dust raised by the carts and horses filled the air, and the armor and weapons with a metallic luster added a bit of lethargy to everything.

Chapter 672 It's time to be expensive and sometimes cheap

Kaiping City, a strange city.

But to Lord Xianhui, all the cities in the Ming Dynasty should be unfamiliar, and she has never been here before.People didn't pay attention to the scenery of Kaiping City, because there were more grand scenes that attracted the attention of the survivors of the mission.

The endless wilderness outside the city is full of tents and troops.The villages in the city are dotted on the land, as if they have been submerged by the army!

From time to time, the sound of firecrackers sounded like firecrackers on the school grounds, and the sound floated in the wind; there were strings of white gunpowder smoke, which were particularly eye-catching.Groups of war horses are galloping, and soldiers are shouting.When people came here, the surroundings suddenly became noisy and lively.

There is no wind, flowers, snow and moon, no small bridges and flowing water, let alone pavilions.Outside the city tower standing on the horizon, there are soldiers and troops everywhere!

The virtuous Lord has never seen such a large army, but he can understand that it is impossible for a hundred thousand troops to have such a lineup!

Soon, officials and horses from the Ming Dynasty greeted him, and Kang Shunchen spoke for a while in front.During this period, Kang Shunchen also said in relatively fluent Chinese: "We were attacked on the way, and our country's credentials were taken away by thieves."

After answering, everything went smoothly.The team continued to march towards the city, and it didn't take long to enter the gate of Kaiping City.

The virtuous old man couldn't help being curious, and quietly lifted the curtain of the car to watch the scenery in the city.At this time, I only saw a large area of ​​low-rise houses, mainly tile-roofed houses on the top of the hard hill; near the city gate, the building streets and alleys were obviously very boring.

A group of people walked along the street for a long time, and came to the outside of a yamen.Compared with the official offices of North Korea, the gate of this yamen is somewhat similar, or the official offices of North Korea have imitated the Ming Dynasty system.

They entered a courtyard near the Yamen, and the accompanying Ming army officers and soldiers left.

The virtuous old man was brought into the inner house, and a group of seven or eight women of different ages followed and bowed to her.Among them, a girl with a double-ring hairstyle whispered, "Can she understand us?"

The virtuous Mrs. Hui was about to go in when Kang Shunchen and Pu Jingwu rushed to the gate.

Kang Shunchen went up to meet him and said in Korean dialect: "My lord, this is the place that the Ministry of Rites has requisitioned. The six ministries of the Ming court all set up residences in the locality; the officials of the Ming Dynasty said that we are the envoys of North Korea and North Korea. People from the Ministry of Rites received them. The officials here also explained that foreign officials are not allowed to enter and leave the inner house at will; neither can the subordinate officials and General Park. If you have something to discuss, you must come out of this gate to meet."

The virtuous old man said: "I understand, you can also take a break."

Everyone bumped on the road for so long, and finally found a place to stay.In the past two days, the clothes, seals and other things of the virtuous old man have also been returned one after another.

Li Qi was an official of the Ming court, and he had met the virtuous Lord in North Korea; so if the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty believed in Li Qi, they could confirm the identity of the virtuous Lord without a seal.

She lived in this courtyard for a few days, and before the Ghost Festival, a fat, round-faced eunuch came.

The white-faced eunuch, accompanied by the Korean envoy and others, paid homage to the virtuous Mrs. Hui in the gate tower of the inner house.
