Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 71 The Great Retreat
In order to survive, the limits of human beings are unpredictable.

In just four days, the army traveled three hundred miles.

"Zhu Meng, I'll give you 3000 people, as pioneers, to get to Dasan Pass first."

"As ordered—"

When Zhu Yixi arrived in Xi'an, the entire city of Xi'an was already in chaos.

All the officials, including governor Feng Shikong, had already packed their bags and headed towards Shanxi. He couldn't even see his tail.

Only, Prince Qin's Mansion is still hesitating at this moment.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Duke of Qin, is willing to risk his life!"

Zhu Yixi said to the worried Zhang Shijiong.

The latter said helplessly: "Your Highness is really hard to persuade."

Zhu Yixi rushed straight into the palace, looked at the young King Qin, and the gold, silver and jewels all over the floor, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, are you still leaving? Are you waiting for Li Zicheng to collect your body?"

"Well, Yixi, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land outside Xi'an City. Do you want to give it up to Li Zicheng?"

Zhu Cunji, king of Qin, said with a face full of reluctance.

"If you don't let it go now, the rest of the family won't let it go."

Zhu Yixi sneered, and said unceremoniously to this Qin King's nephew:
"Tomorrow Maoshi, I will go to Hanzhong, don't wait when it is too late, you can figure it out."

When Zhang Shijiong saw it, he could only shake his head and try to persuade him.

As soon as he left the Qin Palace, he was suddenly stopped by an old man, who opened his mouth and said affectionately: "Uncle Wang, long time no see."

"Huh?" Zhu Yixi was taken aback, this title was so familiar, upon closer inspection, he found that his beard and hair were gray, isn't this the Yongshou County King whom he met during the annual festival?

Qin Fan has always had few heirs. For more than 200 years, there were only ten county kings, and now the Yongshou County King is the only existing county king.

The remaining nine will either have no heirs and the country will be eliminated, or they will gradually reduce their titles like Zhu Yixi's Heyang King lineage, and they will disappear from everyone.

"Jun Wang, I have become an official, and I have already been expelled from the rank."

Zhu Yixi shook his head and corrected softly.

"That's where."

Zhu Cunsang's beard twitched at his age, and hurriedly said: "One day is Uncle Wang, and forever is Uncle Wang. The title is gone, but it is still on the family tree!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yixi laughed dumbfounded, seeing his age, she couldn't help saying: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Well, Uncle Wang, I heard that you are leaving, can you bring my family with you?"

Zhu Cunsang hurriedly asked, his face full of expectations.

"Just bring some direct descendants!"

Zhu Yixi sighed, and said again: "If you want to go, you can go if you want!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Zhu Cunsang thanked with a smile.

How shameless I am!

Zhu Yixi shook his head, then quickly went to the craftsman's camp, asked everyone to clean up, and set off tonight.

"My lord, you and Jiang Ying are one step ahead, there are already pioneers to open the way."

"How is Governor Sun?" Wang Wei was taken aback, and asked in a deep voice: "These days, there are always some bad news coming, but there is nothing about the situation of Governor."

"Master, he was wounded by an arrow and his time is running out. He is going to stay at Tongguan and cut off the rear for us."

Zhu Yixi looked gloomy and sighed.

"Is that so..."

Wang Yan trembled all over, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "All this is fate!"

"Clean up quickly!"

Zhu Yixi supported him, and then said: "Go to Hanzhong, it will be fine."

Regarding the arrangement for leaving, it is natural that the craftsman battalion goes first, and Li Jingwu leads the cavalry to open the way ahead.

Next, of course, is the Governor's Mansion.

When Zhu Yixi came to the governor's mansion, he saw his family gathered in the hall, with anxious expressions on their faces.

Although Mrs. Zhang was flustered, she was the head of the family after all. When she saw Zhu Yixi, she hurriedly asked, "How is your supervisor?"

"The supervisor is seriously ill, and he has no choice but to defend the city from the rear and win life for us."

Zhu Yixi couldn't bear it.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, several concubines burst into tears and began to cry.

The two eldest ladies also covered their faces with their hands, their eyes were red, obviously they were extremely uncomfortable.

Mrs. Zhang held back her tears and said, "Are you here to pick us up?"

"That's right!" Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice, "Before the supervisor left, he asked me to guarantee your safety."

"I'm going to Hanzhong on this trip, I hope Madam can clean up as soon as possible, and leave overnight today."

As she said that, Zhu Yixi was about to leave, and when she almost passed the threshold, she turned around and said, "Madam, please rest assured, the supervisor is very kind to me, and will definitely keep the Sun family safe."

After speaking, he walked away quickly.

"Mother!" Several children came over, their faces covered with tears.

"Clean up quickly!" Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth, looked at the family, and said in a sad voice, "Your father sacrificed his own life in exchange for our survival, so we can't delay his arrangement."

"Don't take heavy things, just pick up some light ones."

"Yes!"

A few people cried and their eyes were red, and they walked away slowly.

"Sister, what shall we do from now on?"

The damselfly's round face has also lost a little weight due to the bad news these days.

"It's okay!" Xue Niang held her younger sister's little hand, her beautiful eyes were a little firm: "Isn't there still mother and me? Don't worry, it will be fine."

"Yeah!" Nodding fiercely, Damselfly flung herself into her sister's arms, feeling the softness, and she couldn't help but tears stained the front of her clothes.

After the Sun Mansion was resettled, Zhu Yixi came to Jinxian Temple again to deal with his private affairs.

"Xi'an can't wait anymore, come with me!"

Looking at Miaoxian's exquisite face, Zhu Yixi felt full of happiness, especially in Taoist robes, facing the mountain wind, she was quite fairy-like.

Of all the women I have seen, she is the most beautiful.

Miaoxian's expression changed, she looked back at Jinxian Temple, and said softly: "My master?"

"Naturally, let's go together."

Zhu Yixi smiled lightly, her face gradually getting closer.

Feeling the man's aura, Miaoxian blushed and said in a hurry: "It's sunny, what do you want to do?"

"Sorry, I felt like I saw a fairy just now, and I couldn't help it."

Zhu Yixi laughed.

"Huh!" Miaoxian wrinkled her nose and snorted dissatisfiedly when she heard the words, then couldn't hide her shame in her beautiful brown eyes:

"My master said that if you are not married, you can't go beyond."

"Really?" Zhu Yixi said cheerfully after hearing the words, "Then can I collect some interest in advance?"

Saying that, without waiting for the latter's reaction, he kissed her smooth forehead.

In Miaoxian's embarrassment, Zhu Yixi left happily, waved his hands and said: "Tonight, at two o'clock tonight, gather at Yongning Gate."

Watching the man leave, Miaoxian's eyes were watery and her face was full of reluctance.

"Hey!" The Miaofa host came out at this time: "It's not about life and death, see you later."

"Master!" Holding Miaofa's arm, Miaoxian couldn't help but coquettishly said.

"Clean up quickly, it's a blessing to be able to leave Xi'an."

……

At night, thousands of people had gathered outside Yongning Gate in Xi'an City.

It's so lively with family and mouth.

Carpenter's camp, plus Sun's family, Jinxian Temple, and two thousand soldiers.

"Brother Li, Zhu Meng has already opened the way ahead. Take good care of these people, and I will follow up tomorrow."

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong." Li Jizu patted his chest and said.

Zhu Yixi nodded.

Looking back, he saw Miaoxian's beautiful eyes smiling, and on the other side, the carriage of the Sun Mansion, and the two beautiful young ladies were also staring at him non-stop.

However, the artisans with their families and families are full of expectations.

From Xi'an City to Dasanguan, it is more than [-] miles, I hope it goes well!
