Zhang Biao looked at Wang Huai, with a smile on his face, and led the people towards him.

There was only Wang Huai left on the other side, so Zhang Biao wasn't worried at all.

Such a person is no match for him in a single fight.

At this time, Wang Huai's face turned pale. He looked at Zhang Biao walking towards him and tightened the knife in his hand.

For Wang Huai, he never expected that things would turn out like this.

He knew what the best choice now was, which was to kill himself with the knife in his hand. Because only in this way could he suffer less torture and be freed happily.

If he was caught, what awaited him would be endless torture. Thinking of this, Wang Huai suddenly raised the knife and wiped it directly towards his neck.

Although he has never killed anyone, he knows that cutting the neck will kill you the fastest.

But the moment Wang Huai raised his hand, an arrow flew through the air with a whoosh, and hit him directly in the arm.

The knife in Wang Huai's hand could no longer be held in an instant and fell directly from his hand.

He stood there with an ugly face, knowing that he would not die.

Without a knife, there is no way to commit suicide. In this case, I simply will not die and go to see the prince.

It has been such a long time, and I have fought against the prince many times, but I have never met each other.

Even if you meet him once, it will be nothing more than death in the end, what else can you do?

Zhang Biao walked to Wang Huai with a knife in hand and said with a smile: "That's great. This time I have made a great contribution."

"Come here!" Zhang Biao shouted behind him, then turned to Wang Huai and said: "We can't let you die. If you die, the prince will be angry. Now that you are alive, it is the best outcome.

.”

The doctor behind him quickly rushed up and began to treat Wang Huai's wounds.

Wang Huai didn't move or speak, just letting the doctor treat his wounds.

After Zhang Biao saw this scene, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "He is a person who knows the current affairs, but he is not very smart. Are you able to scheme against His Royal Highness?"

Regarding Zhang Biao's words, Wang Huai was noncommittal.

Seeing that Wang Huai's wounds were almost treated, Zhang Biao said directly: "Leave a few people to take care of this place, and the rest will escort him and follow him to see His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting."

So several people escorted Wang Huai towards Zhu Houzhao.

When we arrived at the place, Zhu Houzhao was already waiting here.

Seeing Wang Huai being escorted up, Zhu Houzhao did not go to see him first, but turned to Yang Lian behind him and ordered: "Let them stop, they must be tired after playing for so long. Tell people outside the city,

Just station on the spot and ask Zhu Fu to come see me."

After Zhu Houzhao said this, he turned to look at Wang Huai and said with a smile: "It's not easy to see you. But it doesn't matter, I finally met you, which is good."

"Are you yours outside the city?" Wang Huai looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with squinted eyes.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "It was supposed to be your person, but what is the name of the person you sent?"

Zhang Biao on the side quickly reminded: "Go back to His Highness the Crown Prince and call him Zhou Laoer."

"Oh, by the way, Zhou Laoer. He is so sinister that he actually asked Li Zhong to lead his men to rob the country and turn all his men into bandits. This is not going to work anymore. I have no choice but to

Kill him, then let Zhu Fu lead his people to take over Jinshan Guard, and at the same time lead his people to Hangzhou City."

"Anyway, everyone has arrived, so let's just put on a show to lure you out. In fact, it's okay if you don't come this time. Just be cautious, and you might still be able to survive now."

Wang Huai looked at Zhu Houzhao, nodded, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Now that I think about it, I was in a hurry. You can't be in a hurry. Once you are in a hurry, you will make mistakes."

"My subordinates clearly reminded me that there has been no news from Zhou Laoer, maybe something happened. But at that time, I was carried away and didn't think about it at all. I felt that he didn't send the news back because it was inconvenient to do so.

Reply to the message."

"I didn't expect it to be what my subordinates said. Before I came here, my subordinates also said they wouldn't let me come in person, but I'm not worried. I've been planning for so many years and there can't be any mistakes. I want to come in person.

Keep an eye on it, otherwise you won’t be at ease. I wanted to see you defeated by me with my own eyes, but it happened like this, and I fell into your plan."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Huai and said: "It's human nature. When people face something they desperately want, it's always difficult to stay calm, especially when it's something he's been looking forward to for many years. But there's one thing

I don’t understand, why do you want to beat me?”

"Everyone says that I, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, have the style of becoming an ancestor and that I am an unparalleled Crown Prince. I just want to prove to everyone how vulnerable and useless you are, so that I can become the new crown prince."

Lord of the world." Wang Huai said expressionlessly.

Zhu Houzhao nodded there and said with a smile: "I thought of it a long time ago. I know you despise that good-for-nothing King Ning, otherwise, you wouldn't be so eager to attack Hangzhou City. In fact, I still hope you wait for him.

We’ll talk about it when he gets to Hangzhou. It’s a pity.”

Wang Huai smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You want to catch us all in one fell swoop? It's a good plan."

"After wasting so much energy, it's natural that I just want to catch you. But something went wrong again, but it doesn't matter. You can think of other ways." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said in a casual tone, as if he really

I didn't take this matter to heart.

"The enemy is being killed everywhere in the city now, and your people should be wiped out soon. You should send people to the governor's Yamen and the prefect's Yamen, right? Then there should be results soon."

Wang Huai knew that his men would not get any benefits.

All his plans were based on the premise that Li Zhong's army was outside the city. They put great pressure on Hangzhou City, leaving Hangzhou City with not many available troops.

Now the result is not like this. There are Li Zhong's people outside the city, but they are also the prince's people, so there are enough people inside the city to call upon.

Wang Huai raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Are those people from Liao Zhong also fake?"

"That's not true, it's all true." Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "It's just that all the people you sent have been killed. The leader of the troops outside is Liao Zhong, it's nothing more than an act. You see, shouting to kill

Is the sound gone?"

At this time, several people came in from outside carrying Liao Zhong.

"The guilty minister Liao Zhong, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Although he was lying on a stretcher, Liao Zhong still saluted Zhu Houzhao.

After seeing Zhu Houzhao waving his hand, Liao Zhong took back his hand.

Turning his head to look at Wang Huai, Liao Zhong sneered and said: "Isn't this sir? It's been a long time since we last seen each other. I still want to thank you, sir. You almost killed me this time, but Liao Zhong still survived. It's Mr.

I’m afraid I won’t survive.”

Wang Huai didn't even look at Liao Zhong. In his opinion, this kind of person was not worthy of talking to him at all.

Looking up at Zhu Houzhao, Wang Huai sneered and said: "Although Hangzhou City has been pacified by you, so what? King Ning has already led an army of 200,000 over. With the men and horses of Hangzhou City, you will still die here.

.”

"Two hundred thousand mobs," Zhu Houzhao said with a sneer: "You are good at reading books and good at planning. You are a very good counselor. But you have never fought in a war and have never been to a battlefield in person. You have no idea at all."

You know what war is like."

"When I go to pacify King Ning, I will take you with me to show you how the battle is fought."

With that said, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "Take him away and find someone to watch him carefully. Don't abuse him. Don't let him commit suicide. This person is still useful."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll leave this matter to you," Yang Lian said on the side.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

After Wang Huai was taken away, Zhu Houzhao didn't wait too long, Zhu Fu walked in from outside.

After seeing Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Fu quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhu Fu, see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao walked up with a smile, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Fu up, and said with a smile: "Why does the Duke need to give such a gift? This time, if it were not for the Duke, it would not be possible. The merits of the Duke will be reported in this palace.

Give it to Father, and Father will definitely reward you based on your merits."

"I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhu Fu said quickly: "This time it all depends on His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangement. I just followed orders and did not get much credit."

"Leave this to my father and the important ministers in the court. We still have things to do now." Zhu Houzhao did not let Zhu Fu continue to flatter him, but changed the topic to business matters.

His expression became serious, and he glanced at everyone's faces before slowly speaking: "Prince Ning has already arrived with 200,000 horses."

"Where is he now?" Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yang Lian and asked solemnly.

"Back to Your Highness, Prince Ning has led 200,000 troops and has left Jiangxi and is now attacking Jiujiang." Yang Lian said, "But he was blocked in Jiujiang and has not been able to defeat him."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Then let's go there too."

As for why Prince Ning was blocked in Jiujiang, the reason is very simple. His rebellion had long been revealed.

When he sent out troops, the arrangements here had already been made, and the surrounding areas of Nanjing had been well defended.

Before Zhu Fu left Nanjing, he had already made arrangements. Especially in places like Jiujiang, heavy troops were directly deployed.

Although Zhu Fu is not there now and Zhang Fu is organizing it, Prince Ning was still blocked in Jiujiang, making his plan come to nothing.

After glancing at Zhu Fu, Zhu Houzhao said: "You and others can walk slowly behind. I will set off with the Black Dragon Guard and the Black Dragon Army tomorrow. You must be careful not to make any mistakes along the way."

"Your Highness, don't worry, I know what to do." Zhu Fu quickly agreed.

After Zhu Fu left, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yang Lian and said expressionlessly: "What's going on over there? Let's talk about it."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. The banner of King Ning was to counter the rebellion, and he said that he wanted to use Jiujiang. However, after arriving in Jiujiang, Jiujiang refused to let him pass, so King Ning said that the people in Jiujiang were also rebels, so he directly

His men launched an attack."
