When the carriage stopped in front of the Lan Mansion, a circle of people immediately gathered around. They couldn't wait to see whether the Crown Prince of Qin was better, or whether General Lan suppressed it with all his strength.

No one wants to miss this good show, including Zhu Yunxi.

He had found an excuse to temporarily stay in Lan Mansion a few days ago to treat a leg problem, but luckily he didn't miss the good show.

When he saw the extremely luxurious carriage, he became even more angry and roared in his heart.

Why doesn't the emperor prefer him? Even the prince Zhu Shangbing wants to ride on his head.

Originally he should be the most noble person.

Zhu Shangbing turned a blind eye to the rumors around him. He focused on the Lan Mansion and spoke directly without caring about the other person's face.

"Lanyu! Come out and fight! Don't be a coward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yu appeared wearing navy blue clothes, and his weapon was just an ordinary long sword.

but……

When he raised it, there was an inexplicable momentum. No wonder it was the Duke who was really great.

There is real ability in him.

"Your Highness, the sword has no eyes, so be careful."

After saying that, he took action directly without any hesitation. The collision between the horse and the long sword made a crisp sound.

He was tall and tall but moved very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the sword edge was close to his face. If Zhu Shangbing hadn't turned his wrist to block it, this guy would have taken advantage of him.

The two of them are fighting, you come and I go, they are evenly matched and it is hard to tell who is better.

"Left arm."

Chen Qingzhi's voice suddenly sounded, reminding him.

Without thinking, the latter attacked with Ma Shan aimed at his left arm. Lan Yu's complexion changed drastically and he tried to dodge but it was too late. A winding scar appeared and stained his robe.

But he ignored the ferocious wounds, shouted loudly, and attacked here with a long sword in hand.

If we come again, we will be divided into high and low, life and death.

Clang——

At the critical moment of life and death, Zhu Shangbing took out his hammer to resist and gritted his teeth to take the attack. However, Lan Yu was not so lucky. He was already injured and now even his sword came out of his hand, and he fell backwards and lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment.

"If Lan Yu does not die, Jianwen will not become Yongle."

There was a sigh in my mind, it was Li Er.

He admired Lan Yu very much. There was a man who was brave enough to stand in front of ten thousand men, but he couldn't hide his flaws. If he were Hong Wu, he would definitely kill him.

When the people around him saw this, they all marveled and knocked Lan Yu down in front of Lan Mansion.

"I didn't expect that the Crown Prince of Qin would be so powerful that he could defeat General Lan."

"Indeed, this is a general born to open up new territories and expand territory."

"It's a pity that General Lan's glory has come to an end."

…

Zhu Yunxi, who was peeping among the crowd, clenched his fists, leaving blood marks on his palms, still unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

How could he be so strong?

At this moment, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Originally, many Huaixi dignitaries in Beijing also declared war on Zhu Shangbing, hoping to use the limelight to increase his reputation.

Unexpectedly...

It was rumored that many generals fell seriously ill overnight, and there were only three or two imperial doctors left in the palace.

After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer pick up his pen. He put down his things and sighed as he looked at the whole word he had just written.

“How to have both.”

First, a poem offended the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and then a battle disgraced the Lan family and offended the nobles of Huaixi. Even if he joined Zhu Yunzhen's army, he would not be able to stay long and would definitely be squeezed out.

Zhu Shangbing was going to kill himself.

Could it be that the looks of those girls are not pretty enough?

"Your Majesty, this..."

Du Andao was changing tea for Zhu Yuanzhang, but the latter suddenly picked up the pen and shook it, and the ink went directly to his face.

The sudden appearance of ink stains on his pale face made Zhu Yuanzhang much happier.

He joked for a moment, then took out the imperial edict and started writing it.

"What kind of official position do you mean to keep that brat?"

Du Andao was shocked and couldn't believe that these were actually words spoken by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is unique for the crown prince to enter the court and serve as an official!

The Ming Dynasty clan members were not allowed to serve as officials. This was a rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. Now, in order to retain the crown prince of Prince Qin, he not only went to great lengths, but also wanted to use this method...

For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind and dared not figure out the Sacred Heart.

"Why don't we just use the royal guards?"

When the words blurted out, Du Andao wanted to slap his own mouth.

Why should the dignified prince be the imperial bodyguard?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.

"Yes, then let's be a personal guard."

Not in front of you, but close to you.

Such an honor is really not found in the royal family. Even the late Crown Prince Zhu Biao could not always be close to serve him.

Du Andao sighed in his heart, if the prince was the son of the late prince, there would be no need to guess who the grandson was.

…

Linde Hall.

Zhu Shangbing, who was filled with evil spirits, received the imperial edict upon his return and looked at the trembling little eunuch in front of him.

He didn't know what to say for a moment and sighed helplessly.

Personal bodyguard, the old man really thinks highly of him.

"Is it okay not to go?"

He turned to look at Cheap Daddy, his eyes full of expectation.

Unexpectedly...

"no."

Zhu Ping answered decisively, as if he was afraid that someone would run away if he answered late.

Looking at the person in front of him, Zhu Shangbing silently pulled out the bloody horse, and slowly approached with a weird laugh.

However, he did not take action, but threatened to withdraw it, and then dropped the question.

"Dad, if I can't leave, can you?"

After the words fell, Zhu Xiang's eating hand paused slightly, but soon returned to normal.

There was just a hint of sadness in his eyes, and he smiled helplessly.

"If he wants to stay, how can we leave?"

Linde Palace fell into silence because of these words, and the surrounding palace officials were dismissed by Zhu Shangbing.

He looked at Zhu Xi in front of him, hating that iron could not become steel.

But thinking of those coincidences before, I decided to take a gamble and speak to him.

"Dad, I need your help."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man opposite stood up.

Without saying a word, he picked up a piece of wicker and whispered with a straight face.

"You brat, you don't want me to rebel, do you?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept looking around him. Compared to Zhu Shangbing, he seemed to be the one with a guilty conscience.

With such an appearance, Zhu Shangbing didn't know what to say.

When he was about to explain, Huo Qubing teased.

"Zhu Lang, he seems to understand you very well."

At the beginning, this group of people never stopped talking about rebellion, but now they are much better.

Maybe it’s also because I understood a sentence.

Time is also fate.

Now we have not reached the stage of fighting for destiny, no matter how much we do, it will be in vain.

Seeing the few people in his mind once again discussing how to plan a rebellion, Zhu Shangbing quickly locked them in a small dark room, silently recited the Heart-Cleaning Mantra in his heart, and then returned to his original behavior, saying with a wry smile.

"How could I rebel?"

But the next moment, he met a pair of shrewd eyes, as if all the calculations were invisible to them.

At this moment, the owner of these eyes said with a smile.
