Therefore, Wu Sangui was not really angry for Chen Yuanyuan, but from the perspective of the interests of the landlords and gentry, he could only choose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty instead of surrendering to Dashun. Besides, Chen Yuanyuan was not Wu Sangui's wife, but just a concubine. In ancient times, the wife had the power to kill the concubine, and the concubine could be given away at will. Wu Sangui could not surrender to the Qing Dynasty for a concubine. The so-called angry fight for the beauty was just his excuse.

But Zhao Peng didn't know this, so he decided to visit the Wu Mansion. He also fantasized about taking Chen Yuanyuan out of the capital and sending it to Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan. He naively thought that this would prevent Wu Sangui from opening Shanhaiguan and letting the Qing army enter.

Zhao Peng decided to visit the Wu Mansion. He called Gao Wencai to visit the Wu Mansion together. The reason for calling Gao Wencai was that he was just a small Jinyiwei lieutenant. If he had worn the Jinyiwei's clothes, he could still pretend to be powerful. But now, Chongzhen is gone, and he dared to wear the Jinyiwei's clothes and walk on the streets with a swagger. He could only wear the clothes of the civilians to go to the Wu Mansion, but he, a Jinyiwei lieutenant, would probably not even be able to enter the door when he visited the door at this time. With Gao Wencai, he might have a face to open the door to welcome guests.

The two left Gao'an and headed for Wu's Mansion.

"Brother, it seems that someone is following us behind us." As a former Jinyiwei Qianhu, in the past, only their Jinyiwei followed others. Now that someone is following us, Gao Wencai naturally felt it very keenly.

Zhao Peng wanted to turn around, but was stopped by Gao Wencai: "Brother, don't look back! Follow me closely and see how I can get rid of them!"

The two walked through an alley. Gao Wencai glanced back from the corner of his eyes and found two Shunjun spies behind him closely. So he turned on the street and walked towards a pharmacy.

This pharmacy was a secret stronghold used by the secret spies of the Jinyiwei during the Wanli and Tianqi periods to monitor officials. During the Chongzhen period, the factory guards were weakened, and this secret stronghold was also invalid. Later, Gao Wencai bought the store himself and turned it into the Gao family's industry. Although it had become a private industry, some shops were still the original Jinyiwei Junyu. During the Chongzhen period, they were cut off and had no way out, so they stayed in this store as a friend.

Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng walked into the pharmacy, and the two plainclothes spies following Shunjun sat down at a big bowl of tea stall across the street, drinking tea while monitoring the two.

The two Shunjun spies waited outside for a long time, but they did not see Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng walking out of the medicine shop. So they became anxious, left behind two copper plates, stood up, and hurried into the medicine shop.

"Two people are here to buy medicine?" The waiter greeted him with a smile.

Two Shunjun spies took out their waist signs and waved them in front of the waiter, and began to search for two people in the store. Shunjun spies searched for a long time but failed. They called the waiter, pulled out the knife, and inserted it on the table. They shouted to the waiter with a fierce look: "Where are the two people who just came in? If you know the information and don't report it, be careful of your head!"

"Mr. Jun, please spare me! The young man didn't know, it seemed that they had left through the back door." The waiter was so scared that he begged for mercy.

Two Shunjun spies walked into the back door and found a yard behind, but there were walls on three sides of the yard, and the yard was empty. Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng had long disappeared.

"It must have been over the wall, let's chase!" a spy from Shunjun shouted.

After the spy Shunjun climbed over the wall and walked away, the medicine cabinet turned around, revealing the secret door behind. Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng, who had already changed into clothes, walked out of it.

"Hmph! Just these little tricks of swearing are also showing off in front of me!" Gao Wencai snorted coldly, "When I was following others, you two young boys were not born yet!"

After throwing off the tail, Gao Wencai took Zhao Peng straight to Wu Xiang's mansion.

When they walked to the Wu Mansion, the two of them looked around and confirmed that there were no suspicious people around them. Gao Wencai then walked forward, pulled the copper ring on the door, and gently knocked down the door of the Dahongyuan.

"Here, who is here?" The voice of an old servant came from inside.

"Gao Wencai, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, came to visit the old general Wu." Gao Wencai replied.

The door opened, and the old servant glanced at the door and recognized the high Wencai of the Jinyiwei Qianhu. He did not dare to neglect and quickly said, "Please wait for two, I will report to the master now."

The old servant went back to report to Wu Xiang, saying that a Jinyiwei Qianhu came to visit the master.

If it were normal for the imperial officials to hear that the Jinyiwei Qianhu visited the door, they would have been so scared that they would have wet their pants. Now Chongzhen has passed away and the capital has become a world of treacherous thieves, and officials in the court are no longer afraid of the Jinyiwei. However, Wu Xiang heard that the Jinyiwei Qianhu still dared not neglect it. He did not know whether the Jinyiwei Qianhu had surrendered to the Jinyiwei and had been used by the treacherous thieves. If the Jinyiwei Qianhu had already surrendered to the thieves and was highly used, Wu Xiang still felt that he could not afford to offend him.

"Let them come in!" Wu Xiang quickly ordered the old servant.

The old servant walked to the door and respectfully made a gesture of inviting the two of them: "Two soldiers, please come with the old slave."

Wu Xiang's mansion is a garden-style five-entry courtyard. When you walk into the gate, walk through the corridor, and enter the hanging flower gate, you will see Wu Xiang standing in the middle of the courtyard waiting for the two.

"Please please, please." Wu Xiang, who had always been timid, respectfully made a gesture to the two of them.

Entering the hall, the host and the guest were seated, and the maid served tea to the host and the guest. At this time, Wu Xiang asked, "I wonder if Gao Qianhu has anything to come to visit the shabby house?"

Gao Wencai said to Wu Xiang with a smile: "Old General Wu, I came here to save your family."

Wu Xiang was frightened and stood up from the chair in a frightened state: "I wonder what Gao Qianhu meant?"

Gao Wencai asked, "Have General Wu surrendered to the thief?"

Wu Xiang said: "My Wu family received the favor of the emperor and ate the king's salary. It is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. But now people are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads. The thief gave me a letter of persuasion to surrender and asked me to write a letter to the dog son who was in Shanhaiguan to surrender. This matter involves the lives of more than 30 people in the Wu family. I dare not refuse to obey."

Zhao Peng stood up and bowed: "General Wu, I'm afraid that if you wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender, you may not be able to save the entire Wu family's lives!"

Wu Xiang was shocked: "I wonder why this young man in Jinyi said this?"

"I heard that the noble prince got a beautiful girl named Chen Yuanyuan, is there any such thing?" Zhao Peng asked.

"This is true, but how can Chen Yuanyuan affect the lives of the whole Wu family?"

"There is a huge bandit among the thieves named Liu Zongmin. This man is fierce and cruel. I don't know where this thief heard that Chen Yuanyuan is beautiful and vowed to take Chen Yuanyuan as his concubine. The noble son is full of blood and may not be able to stand the sword and take Love very much. In anger, he leads Jiannu to invade. If the noble son leads Jiannu to invade, the thief will probably kill the entire family of the old general Wu!"

"This, what should I do?" Wu Xiang was so anxious that he turned around in the lobby. Suddenly he turned to salute Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng, "I would like to ask the two brothers to save the lives of more than 30 people from all over the Wu family!"

Zhao Peng smiled slightly: "There is a solution, but I don't know that Old General Wu is more trustworthy than me?"
