Chapter Fifteen(1/2)
Yingtianchang Street.
Zhu Shangbing rode a tall horse at the front, his red cloak flying in the wind. His already handsome face became more resolute, and his aura also changed accordingly.
Zhu Ping, who had been beside him, saw it and sighed with a smile on his face.
My son has just grown up.
This time, civil servants led by the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen came to greet him, as well as many uninvited military generals. For a time, Zhu Shangbing was in the limelight.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhu Shangbing looked sideways at both sides and murmured to himself.
really.
Many men in black appeared among the people, and their target was Zhu Shangbing.
Assassination in full public view.
This group of people was extremely fast, even far superior to the quelling army behind Zhu Shangbing.
Fortunately, King Qin and Zhou Xing were by their sides, and the three of them jointly defended the enemy and barely managed to block the attack.
But who knew that many people would appear again.
Seeing this, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but mock, and clenched the horse in his hand.
"It seems that there are many people who want me dead."
At least two people arranged this assassination, and the emperor was so rampant.
Really brave.
His shoulder was not injured by a hidden weapon, and the counter-insurgent army was responsible for evacuating the people to avoid accidental injuries, but could not help Zhu Shangbing. The horse in his hand was already heavy and now it was even more difficult.
Looking at the killer who was getting closer and closer, he sighed.
Just when he was preparing for a narrow escape, a black figure appeared in front of him like the wind, and what he held in his hand was the Xiuchun Dao.
It was Mao Xiang.
He looked at the people in front of him and said coldly.
"You have a small skill, but you still dare to do the same thing."
The silver light turned the blood red, and he picked up the knife and dropped the head on the ground. Blood marks appeared on his pale face, and he attacked and killed the assassin by himself.
Seeing Zhu Shangbing behind him, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh.
It is worthy of human slaughter.
However, no matter how strong he was, he could not withstand the large number of people, and Zhu Shangbing lost interest. He jumped off his horse, stood in the center and glanced coldly at the assassins who were eyeing him with sarcasm.
"ah!"
The one who struck the fastest had already been penetrated by Ma Shu, and couldn't suppress the pain and screamed.
Oops.
The one closest to him realized something was wrong and turned around to leave, but it was too late.
The severe pain coming from his abdomen and the panicked eyes of the person in front of him told him.
Completely finished.
This was almost a two-person show between Zhu Shangbing and Mao Xiang, and the two men killed each other with blood flowing like rivers.
The frightened people who came to greet him fled home and stayed behind closed doors.
Mao Xiang's eyes showed admiration, and he looked here with a smile, but without speaking, he quickly rushed to the palace to report this to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The old man still cares about me."
Although he didn't come on the surface, he sent Mao Xiang here, otherwise he would at least be seriously injured and bedridden.
This is the best result now.
He looked towards the direction of the palace, with a cold expression on his face and clutching the earrings in his hands.
This earring is made of fine jade. The most important thing is that this item is a tribute from a foreign country. Even if it is a reward, it will not be given to ordinary officials. How can there be a dead man? And the woman's appearance is really beautiful, and the person behind it may be a little dirty.
The only thing he could think of was the palace.
"If you can't go back this time, then become a vassal."
Zhu Xi looked at the earrings and sighed helplessly, probably knowing what was going on.
The water in Yingtian is too muddy.
Zhu Shangbing was thoughtful after hearing this, and nodded after a long time.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen led the civil servants back, looking embarrassed.
When the assassin appeared just now, he was taken away by the guards for protection and came out only after seeing that everything was alright.
"Shang Bing, this matter..."
Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Shangbing.
Without even thinking about it, he knew what the person in front of him was going to say. It was too formal and a waste of time. He was in a hurry to enter the palace and had no intention of staying, so he spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."
Zhu Yunwen, who had just taken office, knew exactly what he was afraid of.
Zhu Shangbing was simply afraid that the person above him would change his mind and replace this person, so Zhu Shangbing was not interested in this matter.
After saying that, he led the army and left, leaving only the civil servants and Zhu Yunwen looking at each other.
Several censors expressed their dissatisfaction and reprimanded loudly.
"It's so rude, I must intervene!"
"Without the king's laws, how dare your grandson be so arrogant now?"
…
Listening to the indignant voices around him, Zhu Yunwen frowned and sighed.
After being away for a month, I didn’t expect that Zhu Shangbing would undergo such a big change.
When we met today, he was like an unsheathed sword, with its sharp edge clearly displayed, especially his decisiveness and indifference when killing the assassin, which really surprised Zhu Yunwen.
…
Inside Fengtian Hall.
Mao Xiang, who was covered in a fishy smell, knelt on the ground and explained to the man above him what he had just done.
But when the latter asked Zhu Shangbing, Mao Xiang unexpectedly said a lot of praise, and even Du Andao was stunned and couldn't control his expression.
"For the first time in so many years, you are so optimistic about others. Why is that?"
Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but come over to join in the fun. Mao Xiang had only a handful of people to praise him in recent years, but he was so special to the brat from the second family.
Is there really something?
He was about to ask, but unexpectedly...
"That horse's shaft is very heavy. Your Majesty can go and have a look."
The answer is not what the question is asked, and the bull's head is not right.
However, it aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's interest, and he wanted to see it.
But before we can leave...
"Dad! I'm back!"
With a loud voice, Zhu Xi walked quickly to Fengtian Hall, bowed politely and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile. He looked like a dandy walking all over Yingtian Street.
The man above could not help but hide his face, thinking in his mind.
How was Zhu Shangbing born?
But Zhu Xi didn't think there was anything wrong at all, and smiled and said that he was galloping on the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Unexpectedly...
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, took off his shoes without a smile, and threw them away with all his strength.
This hit him right in the face, followed by a roar.
"You bastard! All I know is drinking in the military camp! Don't we know anything else?"
He didn't even settle the account with Zhu Xi, but this guy even came to his door.
Deserve a beating!
In those days when I received reports from spies, I almost lost control of my emotions.
I wish I could ride my horse to Juyongguan immediately and beat this bastard hard.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Zhu Feng not only did not feel guilty, he knelt down and spoke righteously.
To be continued...
