A melee between civil servants, nobles and eunuchs finally ended with the stop of the Shun Army. The civil servants were beaten the worst. Wei Zaode, the top leader, had two front teeth, and the sleeves of the official robe were torn off. The face of the Minister of War Zhang Jinyan, squatted on the ground and cried loudly. He stopped Chongzhen from hunting in the south, causing Chen Yan, the former cabinet chief who could not escape from the capital, turned his clothes into rag strips, and his entire head was beaten into a pig's head.

The eunuchs hated Chen Yan deeply. If this hypocritical guy hadn't stopped Chongzhen and refused to let Chongzhen hunt south, the eunuchs would have followed the emperor to Nanjing long ago. How could they have ended up like this?

When the Shun Army was about to approach Beijing, the eunuchs certainly wanted to follow Chongzhen to hunt Nanjing south. However, civil officials and nobles did not think so. They had a great family in the capital. In addition to the convenient gold, silver and fine materials, there were also real estate such as fields, shops, restaurants, brothels, etc. If Emperor Chongzhen hunted south, it meant that they could only abandon these family businesses. If they were reluctant to leave their family businesses, they were abandoned in the north. So they stopped Chongzhen and refused to let Chongzhen hunt south.

As for whether the capital can be defended, so what if it cannot be defended? At worst, surrender to the thieves! As for the life and death of His Majesty the Emperor? It is not about the civil servants and gentry. Chongzhen is gone, and at worst, they can welcome the thieves to become the emperor.

The civil servants who were deeply hated by the eunuchs were beaten violently. Although these civil servants often had conflicts in the morning court, civil servants were always very brave. That was because others did not dare to beat civil servants, eunuchs, and generals beat civil servants, but civil servants did not have any trouble at all. Now the capital is no longer the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and eunuchs and generals still care about so many places. They beat civil servants who were usually arrogant and had a sigh of anger.

Without the protection of the evil laws of the king and scholars and officials in the world, the combat effectiveness of civil servants fighting against the Five Slags was revealed at once. Under the attack of eunuchs and nobles, most civil servants were beaten into pig's heads.

Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng were mixed among the crowd. After watching this dog-biting fight with interest, it was not until the Shunjun stopped the fight that Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng followed the crowd to prepare to withdraw from the Meridian Gate.

"Gao Qianhu, don't be fine!" A shout stopped Gao Wencai.

Gao Wencai turned his head and saw that the former commander of the Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing, was the former commander of the Jinyiwei! Luo Yangxing was wearing a red python robe and a wingless black gauze hat. He walked out of the Meridian Gate in this outfit and obviously went to see Li Zicheng.

"I didn't expect that the loyal Governor Luo would also kneel down and worship the thief!" Gao Wencai sneered.

Luo Yangxing's old face turned red, but he still argued: "This governor welcomes the King of Breaking to follow the will of heaven! Zhu Ming is indecent and Li Shun replaces him. This is the will of heaven! How can you ants shake trees and go against the sky?"

"What a man who follows the destiny!" Zhao Peng sneered, "The thief is here. You can surrender to the destiny with peace of mind with one sentence! If Jiannu comes, will you be able to be a slave to the destiny with another sentence? "

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude to me!" Luo Yangxing was furious.

"Is this the little Jinyiwei Chief Zhao Peng! Although I am a low-ranking position, I am not like some people's ancestors who have been deeply grateful to the emperor but do not want to serve the country but instead surrender the thief!" Zhao Peng said loudly.

"Come here!" Luo Yangxing shouted in anger, "There are two eagle claw grandsons who have missed the net here! Hurry up and catch them!"

Zhao Peng remained calm and shouted angrily: "Luo Yangxing, as the former commander of the Jinyiwei, you do not want to repay the emperor's kindness, but are willing to surrender to the thief, and are so willing to be a lackey for the thief!"

Luo Yangxing's shouts attracted a large group of riots, and soon surrounded Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng in the core. Seeing that the situation was not good, the people around him dispersed one after another, leaving only Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng surrounded by the riots.

"Why don't you take down these two court hawks quickly!" Luo Yangxing pointed at Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Rullied to keep your character alive! Don't forget that you were the leader of us, the court's hawks, but now you have become a hawks of thieves!" Gao Wencai shouted angrily.

"Take it!" A middle-aged northwestern man with a beard and a tough look walked out of the Shun army crowd and pointed at Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng to give orders to the Shun army soldiers on both sides.

A large group of Shun Army soldiers surrounded Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng. Seeing that they could not fly, Zhao Peng did not intend to surrender just like this. He wanted to resist. So he used the grappling technique he learned in the army in his previous life, grabbed the wrist of the Shun Army soldier in the lead, pulled it hard, and brought the man to the ground, and then seized the knife from the Shun Army soldier.

Zhao Peng, who picked up the knife, avoided the blades cut by the two trespassers, swung the steel knife in his hand and swept it over. Only two screams were heard, and the two trespassers fell down by covering their injured arms.

Zhao Peng dragged a wounded soldier from the ground, held the man high, and threw him hard into the crowd of rioters.

The soldiers of the rebel army threw themselves into rats and did not dare to hurt their own people. The weapons in their hands were avoided, but they were hit by their thrown companions, and a large area was smashed to pieces.

"Sir, come with me quickly, I'll take you out!" Zhao Peng turned around and shouted to Gao Wencai with a knife in his hand.

The sword flashed, and the soldiers of Shun Army who were rushing up were either knocked back or screamed and fell into a pool of blood. Zhao Peng himself didn't know how he had such a strong martial arts skills, and he actually repelled the siege of more than ten people by himself. This may be because the potential in his body was stimulated in critical moments.

"Yes, a loyal and powerful general!" the middle-aged man sighed, "Get back and meet him when I go to the general myself!"

The soldiers on both sides retreated. The middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Peng and asked with a smile: "This hero is righteous and loyal, please report his name!"

Zhao Peng bowed and returned the greeting: "Is Zhao Peng, the captain of the Jinyiwei? I wonder who is the general?"

"Bold! I don't even recognize a tiger, Li Guo!" a soldier in Shun Army scolded.

Li Guo drank the soldier and smiled and said to Zhao Peng: "Personnel Zhao is careful, I'm going to make a move! Please accept it!" After that, Li Guo suddenly waved his sword and slashed at Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng waved his knife to hold Li Guo's hard attack, and two weapons collided, and sparks flew everywhere. He felt his household registration was slightly numb, and he sighed in his heart: A tiger, Li Guo, is indeed not a false reputation!

Li Guo was also secretly shocked: I wanted to get a small Jinyiwei lieutenant, who had such divine power to easily resolve a certain fatal blow! For more than ten years, few opponents could catch a certain move. This person is really a hero.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them passed more than ten moves. Zhao Peng became more and more braver in the battle. Each move of the extremely brave Li Guo was resolved and gradually showed an unstoppable attitude.

"Be careful, General!" Suddenly a side general shouted.

Zhao Peng's steel knife bumped away from Li Guo's hand, then slid down along Li Guo's blade. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Li came over and put the knife out again, the blade was placed on Li Guo's neck.
