When he heard the words coming from under the city tower, the guards on Yongding Gate were immediately surprised! At this time, there was no mistake, so he looked at them.

After a while, a hanging basket was put down and the man was hung onto the city tower.

Seeing that the man was stained with blood and panting, the guard quickly said, "Hurry up, prepare for a quick horse."

The guard looked at the man and knew that it was from Zhang Jingyi. He did not carry a weapon on him and only carried a bamboo tube that conveyed messages. He did not doubt that he had any other intentions.

He simply ordered someone to prepare a horse for him, but the man turned over and left, but he had already left.

But... whenever you receive a victory, there is an unwritten rule. Generally, after entering the city, you need to shout for a victory, so that you can inspire people.

So, not only was the hurried horse hooves heard in the long street, but the horses shouted hysterically: "Good news, good news, Xinxian Military Academy defeated Jiannu!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, it caused a commotion.

People looked at the knight suspiciously, but in a blink of an eye, the voice and the horse had gone far away.

"Report the victory? The Zhang Baihu of the Jinyiwei defeated the Jiannu people?"

"I don't think it's true, nine out of ten...it's fake..."

"Nonsense..." Someone snorted coldly: "Zhang Baihu won't lie."

This is Qingpingfang.

There are many people in Qingpingfang who believe in Zhang Jingyi.

So someone hurried to the hundred households to report the message: "It's amazing, I'll report the victory, I'll report the victory..."

Deng Jian was worried that the Zhang family had already been anxious.

As soon as he heard the victory, Deng Jian hurriedly asked, "What victory did you report?"

"It's our Zhang Baihu that defeated Jiannu."

When Deng Jian heard this, he was overjoyed: "Haha, I knew Jingyi was not an ordinary person. I underestimated him to grow up, don't you know who he is? When he was seven or eight years old, his eyes were full of green light, and he had luck since he was born."

Wang Cheng, who was standing beside him, was overjoyed and rubbed his hands and said, "It's great, there's finally good news. I'll let someone go to report the good news to the girl. She was in the palace, so she was so anxious that she sent people to ask me if my third brother was back."

However, the clerk who came to report the news said: "This... the student has something to say, not to say it, and some people outside say that this good news is false, and it is deliberately used to calm people's hearts."

"Ha..." Deng Jian sneered: "I don't believe others' words, but I, Deng Jian, don't believe my brother's words? Stupid things, you dare to talk nonsense and demagogue people's hearts, don't blame me for turning against me."

Seeing Deng Jian suddenly becoming fierce, the clerk was silent and hurriedly said: "Actually, the students also believe in Zhang Baihu, and the students are just talking about rumors outside."

Deng Jian waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, go out, be careful to tear your crow's mouth."

Watching the man walk out of his public housing, Deng Jian then walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Wang Cheng said: "Second brother, let's report the news to the palace."

Deng Jian shook his head and said, "Now all those who claim victory are going to the palace. The palace will soon know why you and I need to talk about it! I am thinking about something."

Wang Cheng said in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Deng Jian said seriously: "Since the Jiannu people came, the people in the capital were panic, and many people... were selling the industries in Beijing. You said... if we..."

Speaking of this, Deng Jian raised his head, looked at Wang Cheng, and continued, "We might as well take advantage of this time to buy some? Ah, don't look at me like this. I am also a third brother. The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. There are people like the third brother in the family. Can our Zhang family be well?"

Wang Cheng said, "Aren't all the good news coming to Beijing now? Even if you buy it, they're afraid that the price will increase."

"This may not be." Deng Jian shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear that anyone outside suspects it was a means of comforting the people of the court? But think about it... this is still Qingpingfang. The people of Qingpingfang don't think that our third brother can take down the Jiannu people, let alone people from other places? According to me... we can give it a try, or... I'll ask those sellers now?"

Wang Cheng hurriedly said, "Then I'll go too, why are you the only one here?"

The two agreed, so they immediately took action separately.

In fact, in these days, people are panic, which has made many people worry. What ordinary people are worried about is that if the Jiannu people break the city, where should they escape?

But for some high-ranking officials, it is obviously different. This is not a matter of people running away, but the fact that so much land and mansions in the capital cannot be taken away.

Nowadays, all kinds of rumors are spreading, and they have to worry...

And... Obviously, behind this capital, there are people who are interested in spreading these things, so that people's worries are getting worse and worse.

As a result, many people hope to sell their mansions and some land in the capital.

However, in such a time when everyone is in danger, it is really difficult to find a buyer, and even if it is sold at a low price, it is difficult for anyone to accept it.

…………

In a Chinese house in the capital.

Some people went in carefully. There were very few people coming to this mansion on weekdays, and it was very quiet.

But deep in the three-entry courtyard, someone set up a chessboard and was playing chess with others.

The two of them sat down, not moving at all.

But someone came in and whispered: "There are rumors outside that the Jinyiwei defeated Hatai Niulu and won a great victory..."

After he said that, he looked carefully at the two people playing chess.

But the two of them still sat upright, staring at the chessboard without saying a word. One of them was ugly, but he lowered his head and looked at the chess game with a bright look, as if he was thinking about where to make the next step.

Just when he was hesitating.

The person who reported the news continued: "Master, should you think of a way to deal with it? Find a way to... send a message to Liaodong?"

"Oh." The ugly chess player pinched the chess piece in his hand and said with a smile: "Hatai Niulu has always been brave and has a meticulous act. How could a group of three-legged cats be their opponent? There are less than ten thousand people and they are invincible. Although there are less than a thousand soldiers of Hata, they are definitely not something that Zhang Jingyi can deal with! This time, the Lord ordered Hata to advance to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so that they could not take care of each other... What a holy wise man

Since Hatai was chosen, Hatai could take on such a great task. The so-called good news coming now are almost all fake. Why do you have to panic because you heard some rumors? But... I think it's time. The situation in the capital will slowly stabilize sooner or later. At that time, how can Hatai just resist the encirclement of the army? His advance was so smooth because it disrupted the ranks of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty. It was time to lead the troops and return them."

As he said that, the ugly man put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, then looked at the person opposite him with a smug look, "Look, you're going to lose."

After hearing this, the person on the other side seemed to refuse to admit defeat and fell into deep thought.

The chess player immediately showed a relaxed expression: "Just before retreating, news came out, and said... the master had already led 10,000 elite troops and came in from Dadukou. All the elite troops in this time were to attack the capital and teach the Ming dynasty to be the Song Huizong. The more reliable the news should be. We are still hiding a batch of gunpowder seven or eight miles outside the city? Detonate the gunpowder and create chaos..."

"This..." The visitor said in surprise: "What does this mean?"

The chess player said, "Hatai is about to lead his troops back to the outside of the pass. When he leaves, people's hearts will be settled. Now we are adding more fire in this capital... Haven't you seen that many people have quietly sold their land and mansions in this capital? Spread such news, before Haatai ​​evacuates, aggravates the panic in this capital, and then... wouldn't so many cheap mansions and land be able to make a fortune?"

The man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he suddenly realized: "I understand."

"Go down." The man said, "Be careful when doing things, and... and... I will prepare sedan chairs later. I am going to visit Mr. Wang. He has always liked Gao Qi's calligraphy and paintings. In the past two days, I have visited a picture, which is called "a sword for heroes and a red pink for beauty." Mr. Wang is a elegant man and must like it."

…………

The Ministry of War was shocked when it received the good news.

Minister of War Cui Chengxiu was ecstatic.

Cui Chengxiu's reputation was not good. At the beginning, he became an official and was deposed by the Donglin Party. So he made up his mind to surrender to Wei Zhongxian and was accepted as his adopted son by Wei Zhongxian.

In the eyes of many people, Cui Chengxiu is naturally a person with no character, but Cui Chengxiu is content with his satisfaction. Now that the Jiannu people are suddenly coming, the Ministry of War is under great pressure. He has been assisting Sun Chengzong in placing troops and guarding the capital.

He hurriedly sent people to go out of the city to find out the truth and reality of this Jiannu people.

But... the news I got was so messy that Choi Chengxiu couldn't determine the authenticity.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the capital, and it is under the feet of the emperor. No risks cannot be taken. If the Jiannu people dared to come in other places, they would have sent troops to fight. Let's fight first. But in this place, all the soldiers and horses had to defend the city to prevent accidents.

After reading the report, Cui Chengxiu was ecstatic and said, "What a great Zhang Baihu, it's amazing, it's amazing, go, enter the palace, enter the palace..."

Cui Chengxiu quickly entered the palace to report.

Emperor Tianqi learned that there was a report from outside the city, and attached great importance to it, so he quickly summoned the cabinet and the Minister of Rites to meet.

When Cui Chengxiu saw Emperor Tianqi, he immediately saluted and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are very happy, very happy... I am a great martial arts master, just Jiannu... vulnerable..."
