Chapter 335: Bai Ze in Power
After the distraught Zhu Qiyu was taken away by several imperial guards, Zhu Gaosui took a deep breath.
Only after watching Zhu Qiyu being taken away did Bai Ze dare to come out.
Zhu Gaosui looked at Bai Ze and waved his hand calmly, motioning Bai Ze to step forward.
Seeing this, Bai Ze had no choice but to walk out of the corner obediently and bow respectfully to Zhu Gaosui.
"Bai Ze has met Zhu Gaozu. Zhu Gaozu, how should we deal with the northern army now?"
As Bai Ze said this, Zhu Gaosui shook his head lightly and said to Bai Ze.
"You must immediately reorganize the imperial guards and city guards in the city, and also organize the food and grass in the city."
"I will be in the Imperial Study in person these days. Report anything immediately!"
After saying that, Zhu Gaosui took out a golden token from his arms and threw it towards Bai Ze.
"Take this token. If there is any obstacle, take it out."
"I will use the hidden power of my Zhu family to help you!"
After hearing what Zhu Gaosui said, Bai Ze hurriedly picked up the golden token on the ground.
After carefully putting the golden token into his arms, Bai Ze bowed to Zhu Gaosui.
"Then, Emperor Gaozu Zhu, I will take my leave first!"
Seeing that he had almost finished giving instructions, Zhu Gaosui waved his hand, indicating that Bai Ze could leave.
After Bai Ze retreated, Zhu Gaosui sighed helplessly.
Accompanied by a slight sound, a figure appeared beside Zhu Gaosui.
"I greet Sui Zu. The 'Xuanwu Guards' have all been assembled!"
"Everyone is now on standby in the city. Please give us your instructions, Master Sui."
As soon as the figure appeared, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Gaosui.
Looking at the figure, Zhu Gaosui nodded slowly and gave instructions to the figure.
"Order all the Xuanwu Guards to enter the Imperial City, and have the other three guards speed up as well."
"Everyone must arrive in Chunning City before the northern army attacks the city."
After listening to Zhu Gaosui's instructions, the figure bowed solemnly and responded.
"I obey your command. Please rest assured, I will make all arrangements properly."
After saying this, the figure disappeared into the imperial study.
After the figure left, Zhu Gaosui began to look through the memorials on the table.
…
Jiang Chen, along with his generals , led an army of 200,000 and set up camp outside Chunning City.
After setting up the camp, Jiang Chen moved directly into the central military tent.
As for Su Qingcheng, she was left in the county town of Chiwan County by Jiang Chen.
After setting up the camp, the Northern Army began to cook.
After so many days of non-stop marching, the Northern Army also needed a night's rest.
According to Jiang Chen's plan, he was not planning to launch an attack on Chunning City immediately.
He was waiting for the members of the "ant nest" in the city to send out information, and then he would find out the information in the city.
Jiang Chen was just about to start planning his attack on Chunning City!
Soon, it was night time and a figure appeared on the streets of Chunning City.
However, before the figure could react, a team of patrolling Northern Ming imperial guards slowly walked over.
Hearing the footsteps approaching from afar, the figure quickly dodged and hid in a corner.
Only then did they manage to hide the entire patrolling Northern Ming Imperial Guards.
When these imperial guards passed by the corner where the figure had just hidden, the leading captain turned around and looked at the corner.
But after looking for a long time, the captain didn't find anything unusual.
Only then did he continue patrolling forward with a team of imperial guards behind him, striding forward in big strides.
Only after watching
"Huh, it looks like the patrols in the city have increased a bit. I have to speed up."
"If this situation continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out any later."
After muttering to himself for a while, the figure quickened his pace towards the city gate.
After arriving at the city gate, the figure did not approach the city gate directly.
Instead, he found a secluded corner and called a few times imitating the sound of a cuckoo.
A centurion who was on duty on the top of the city wall heard the cuckoo's call.
He asked the deputy general beside him with some doubt.
"Old Li, don't you think this sound is a bit strange?"
"It's almost autumn, why are there still cuckoo calls?"
In response to the centurion's question, the lieutenant smiled and answered without hesitation.
"Lao Wang, what's wrong with this? I saw a cuckoo yesterday!"
"These things are just like people. Some of them don't want to fly through autumn and winter."
"They will choose to stay where they are until they freeze to death or starve to death."
After listening to the lieutenant's explanation, the centurion nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, these poor little guys can only wait to die."
After saying that, the centurion continued to lean against the battlement and squinted his eyes, while the lieutenant found an excuse to go to the toilet.
I walked down the city wall carefully and came to the corner where the cuckoo's call came from.
After the deputy general walked into the corner, the figure slowly walked out from the darkness.
"Why are you so late? If you had come a little later."
"I'm afraid I thought you had already betrayed me."
After hearing the figure's words, the deputy general smiled rarely.
"You are right. From the day I joined the 'Ant Nest', I had no intention of betraying my lord."
"Okay, okay, stop talking about these useless things."
"How are you going to get me out of the city? The city defense is so strict now."
The figure interrupted the deputy general and asked him a question.
In response to the figure's question, the deputy general smiled confidently, pointed to a house not far away and answered the figure.
"See that house? Take the key and go in."
"Under the kitchen stove, there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. Just follow it."
After hearing the deputy general's answer, the figure took the key handed over by the deputy general with some surprise.
“I never thought that you worker ants could be under the nose of the Beiming royal family.”
"It's really hard for you to find such a secret passage."
"Hahaha, let's go quickly and deliver the information to the lord as soon as possible."
In response to the figure's praise, the deputy general hurriedly urged.
"Okay, brother, when Chunning City is taken by the Lord, I hope we can meet again!"
After saying that, the figure disappeared from the spot and came to the front of the house.
Looking at the direction the figure left, the deputy general stood where he was, smiling helplessly and shaking his head.
"I hope we can meet again once the siege begins."
"I don't know if I can survive..."
After the figure entered the house, he turned around and bolted the door.
Afterwards, he went straight to the kitchen.
Under the stove, the entrance to the secret passage was found.
