"Mujiu, you came too in time. If you weren't there, I'm afraid Zhu Youzhen would be the one who had his arm chopped off, or even lying on the ground."
"His Royal Highness, what are you talking about? It was originally my duty to protect Your Highness. Besides, at the time in the small forest, if it weren't for Your Highness, Wang Mujiu would not be able to live until now."
"Well, let's stop talking politely, let's go back and say these things. Now you have to fulfill your promise and give every citizen a penny or two."
"His Royal Highness, do you really send it? That's a few hundred taels of silver?"
"Of course you send it. Why don't you send it? You have to be credible."
"But your Highness, I don't have so much money?"
"Don't worry, you are to save me. I will come out with this money." Zhu Youzhen fumbled in his pocket for a while. "However, Mu Jiu, I don't have so much money now. Let your friend keep the account first and then go back. I will honor it."
"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Mujiu no longer worries about silver matters. What he is most worried about is Zhu Youjian's safety. "However, this hotel is not safe anymore. It is better for us to leave as soon as possible."
"But where can you go in the middle of the night?" Zhu Youjian has been growing up in the deep palace, knowing almost nothing about things outside the palace.
"His Royal Highness, if the people in black really come back, these people will have no effect. It is better to leave the hotel temporarily, find a barren mountain to hide, and wait until dawn to return to the city." Wang Mujiu's statement is untrue and unreasonable, as long as it is temporarily Can avoid people in black who might come back.
"Okay! Is there a place to rest near here?" Zhu Youjian could only rely on Wang Mujiu when he said the terrain.
"His Royal Highness, not far from here, there is a mountain col, which can accommodate several people, and can also block the erosion of rain and dew. It's better to go there to avoid it." Wang Mujiu, a member of Jingshi and a thousand households in Fenwuying, is often here. With activities in the area, the topography of the east of the city seemed to be carved in his brain.
"It shouldn't be too late, let's go now!" Zhu Youjian didn't want to hurt these unarmed people. The people in black wanted to assassinate the King Thaksin and had nothing to do with the people. Besides, these people couldn't stop the sharp weapons of the people in black.
Zhu Youjian and Wang Mujiu quickly disappeared into the night. Soon, they appeared in a col that was only three miles away from the Bureau Inn. There is a shallow cave in the col, which can accommodate four or five people. Because Wang Mujiu was injured and no longer had any combat effectiveness, Zhu Youjian let him stay in the depths of the cave. He sat at the entrance of the cave by himself, acting as Wang Mujiu's guard. Although the mountain is humid, it is blocked by stones and trees. Fortunately, none of them are wet.
After dawn, Zhu Youjian and Wang Mu 92 left the col and walked towards Dongzhimen. Because the time is not up, the soldiers guarding Dongzhimen haven't opened the city gate, but many people waiting to enter the city have gathered at the gate. Wang Mujiu swept around in the crowd uncomfortably, fearing that he would encounter the frightening man in black again.
He waited until the gate of the city was wide open, and the man in black did not appear. They entered the city with the flow of people, then headed north and turned into the Xuanqin Palace.
"His Royal Highness is back!"
Wan'er's eyes widened, and her whole body froze in front of Zhu Youjian.
"Why? Not welcome?" Zhu Youjian deliberately put on a mature smile, but Wan'er found an unfamiliar fortitude on his face. The training life of the army allows a minor to mature quickly, both physically and mentally.
"Oh, your majesty, come in! The slave and maidservant go to get a basin of water and let your highness wash your face." Wan'er finally recovered and found that Zhu Youjian's face was gray and black, thinking it was stained with the dust on the road. She went out with a small cannon, and soon came in with a basin of clear water, and put it on the small table in front of Zhu Youjian. "His Royal Highness came back so early? This is..." Wan'er found Wang Mujiu behind Zhu Youjian, and she blushed and was too embarrassed to raise her head, but when she lowered her head, she found a new problem: "Your Highness, Why do you get so much dew and dirt on your boots? Did you walk back? Where is your horse?"
"Wan'er, it's a long story. This is Captain Wang of the Fenwuying Special Forces. He is injured. You should immediately notify the emperor to come over." Zhu Youjian couldn't tell Wan'er the thrills of last night. Wang Mujiu's wound was only After a simple dressing, the night has passed, and it will be troublesome in case of infection.
"His Royal Highness, are you injured?" Wan'er scanned Zhu Youzhen's body uncomfortably, but found nothing unusual.
"I'm okay. Go ahead!" Zhu Youzhen has magical body protection. As long as he takes a break, he can return to his original vigor, but Wang Mujiu is an ordinary person, and his right shoulder was pierced again. He must be treated in time. .
During the Qing Palace, Zhu Youxiao furious, "What did the Five Cities Soldiers and Masi and Shuntian Mansion eat? All should be killed. How did I raise these wastes?" This is the first time Zhu Youxiao swears in front of Wei Zhongxian. Although it was not Wei Zhongxian who scolded Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that he knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao's chair. In order to cover up his face, he simply put his old face on the ground.
An angry Zhu Youxiao picked up an axe and split a shrine that had just been made in half, and stepped on a few more feet, until his anger dropped slightly.
"Your Majesty, the assassination of King Xin took place outside the city. Neither Ma Si nor Shuntian Mansion can handle it!" Seeing Zhu Youxiao's anger drop, Wei Zhongxian was careful.
"Outside the city is not the capital of the capital? What do you usually do with these tofu?" Zhu Youxiao chopped a grasshopper cage to pieces again, and the anger gradually receded. "Zhongxian, has the murderer caught it?"
"His Majesty, there were two murderers who fled, and one has been caught now." Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he wouldn't stop until he found the murderer, and Wei Zhongxian had to abandon the pawn.
"Who is the murderer? I want to destroy his nine clans and throw his whole family into ashes." Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
"Your Majesty, the murderer has been punishable. It turned out to be a group of Jiangyang thieves, ready to commit crimes in the dark. Inadvertently encountered His Royal Highness King Xin outside the city, and was ready to kill her in order to prevent the disclosure of secrets. Fortunately His Highness King Xin was unharmed." Wei Zhongxian is already prepared. , Ji Peng has been mutilated, and Jin Yiwei’s face is filled with water and swollen, even acquaintances can’t recognize him; his arm has been retrieved, and it can match the incision on the shoulder, no one will suspect that he was cut by Zhu Youxian The murderer with the lower arm was checked by Zhu Youxiao himself now, but he couldn't see the clue.
"It's cheaper for him." Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Can you confirm that he is the murderer?"
"It's true. Your Majesty can send someone to check it." Zhu Youxiao didn't make a fuss about why the murderer was me, and Wei Zhongxian was over.
"There is another murderer, we must seize the time to arrest and bring him to justice." Zhu Youxiao remained angry.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The murderer must not be able to escape." Wei Zhongxian was secretly happy. After a while, who remembers the murderer who escaped? However, he couldn't let Zhu Youjian feel comfortable with his big plan that Zhu Youjian destroyed. "Your Majesty, Shu Lao Slave is talking too much."
"Zhongxian, what do you want to say? Get up and talk!" Zhu Youxiao's anger completely disappeared, and he returned to his usual gentle appearance.
"Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness can stay in Xingqin Palace with peace of mind, no matter how fierce the murderer is, there will be no chance." Wei Zhongxian got up, still keeping his head down, preventing Zhu Youxiao from looking at his eyes and face.
"Yeah." Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, "Believe the king's stubbornness, I will personally persuade him to leave Fenwu Camp."
In Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang Yan also got the news of Zhu Youjian's assassination.
She murmured to herself: "Could it be Wei Jun? Can Wei Jun have such courage? Is it wrong to support Xin Wang? Xin Wang is still too young and he is not Wei Jong's opponent at all. You must not harm him! "When she was convinced that Zhu Youjian had confiscated any harm, she was temporarily relieved, "Fifth brother, you must not make any baskets, otherwise I will be the sinner of the royal family."
Zhang Yan changed his mind. At the age of fifteen, Wang Xin could retreat from the assassination of the robber. Maybe he was the nemesis of Wei Wei. Just where did he martial arts come from
As the center of the storm, Zhu Youjian slept well in the Xuanqin Palace, and only woke up in the evening. "Wan'er, how is Captain Wang?"
"His Royal Highness, Captain Wang is okay. The doctor said, Captain Wang didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and he will have a rest for half a month. He should be fine. He has already gone back." Wan'er is simply an internal steward who made Wang Mujiu's affairs clear." Your Highness, you have slept for most of the day, do you want dinner?"
"Well, I happen to be hungry too." After fighting for most of the night, the body was consumed too much and must be supplemented in time.
"His Royal Highness wait a minute, it will be fine soon." Wan'er slipped out of Zhu Youjian's bedroom.
The food in his mansion is incense, Zhu Youjian gobbled it up, as if Wan'er were robbing him. Wan'er stood opposite him, looking at Zhu Youjian motionlessly. "What's wrong? Wan'er?" Zhu Youjian found that the surroundings were particularly quiet and the atmosphere was a bit wrong, so he stopped his chopsticks. Wan'er's little pink mouth, usually forgot to rest, but now she doesn't say a word.
"His Royal Highness, it is also the food in the mansion. The servant girl has never seen His Royal Highness eat so sweetly before. His Royal Highness must have suffered a lot in the barracks." Wan'er's small face has changed color, and her bright eyes seem to be shining brightly. , "Your Highness, don't go to the barracks anymore."
"Wan'er, I am a man, Da Ming's letter king, how can I live and dream in these palaces forever?" Zhu Youzhen Bendai and Wan'er talked about their ideals, and felt that such a topic was too heavy. .
How can Wan'er, a little girl who has lived in the palace since she was a child and has never even been out of the Forbidden City, understands things about Daming's past and future generations? Besides, Zhu Youzhen was indeed hungry, so he had to fill his stomach first.
Wan'er's big eyes flickered, and her gaze was eager to refuse. In this space with only two people, Wan'er's shyness seemed to fade a lot.
"His Royal Highness, do you want to take a bath?" Wan'er has the potential to be a housekeeper. Maybe she is used to the powdery fragrance of the palace. She keenly discovered the stinky sweat from Zhu Youqian.
"Go and prepare, I will practice the exercises first, and then take a bath afterwards." Three times a day, Zhu Youzhen can't beat the thunder, but the big and small Zhoutian has already broken through, and it won't take long to get the exercises.
