Zhu Di's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He quickly winked at Zhu Gaochi and pulled Zhu Zhanji away.
Then he said to Han Du with a smile, "He is still young and is no match for those old foxes. I still have to trouble you about this matter."
Han Du looked at Zhu Di with a smile and shook his head slightly, "His Royal Highness is resourceful and has long been able to stand alone. And it is precisely because he is young that he should go out more and gain more experience."
Why is Zhu Zhanji not the rival of the old fox? Han Du thinks he is quite good. Once he came to the Ming Dynasty, he kidnapped more than 20 gentlemen from the academy, including the master of the academy like Yang Qing.
From Han Du's point of view, Zhu Zhanji is not afraid of any old fox. He is an old fox. Yang Qing is also in his thirties and the head of a courtyard, but he was deceived by Zhu Zhanji so that he could not find his way to the north.
Zhu Di looked at Han Du with an expression of embarrassment. He certainly didn't want Zhu Zhanji to contact the Five Families. He had never contacted the Five Families before, and no one knew their attitude towards Xinming.
If he was full of hostility towards Xinming, then letting Zhu Zhanji go would be like putting a sheep in the tiger's mouth. And Zhu Di was not at ease letting others go, so the best choice was to let Han Du go.
This led to today's scene of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi singing a double act, but they didn't expect to be disturbed by Zhu Zhanji.
Of course Han Du didn't want to go. He had chased those people here from the Ming Dynasty, and they had long been at odds with him. If he had gone, wouldn't he have been eaten alive by them?
But Zhu Di was staring directly at him, clearly trying to force him to go.
Han Du smiled slightly and sighed, "I can go if you want. You prepare a hundred warships for me, and I will go and destroy them."
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If I had a hundred warships, would I still wait for you to go? I would lead my own troops to destroy them."
Not to mention a hundred warships
, Xinming didn’t even have fifty ships. In the past few years, Xinming’s enemies were only the surrounding natives. There were no enemies at sea, so naturally they would not pay attention to and develop the navy.
Even the current warships of the Xin Ming Dynasty were mostly brought by Zhu Di from the Ming Dynasty. Some of them were bought by him after the navy of the Ming Dynasty was eliminated.
Xinming built almost no warships himself.
Han Du spread his hands and shrugged, "Then there is no other way. How about you wait for me to return to the Ming Dynasty, and then ask the emperor to send the Ming Dynasty Navy to destroy them?"
Zhu Di suddenly fell silent. He didn't believe a word Han Du said. Let's not say whether Han Du would care about Xinming's life or death after he returned.
Even if Han Du really asked Zhu Yunye to send troops, would Zhu Yunye be willing to send out the navy? Zhu Di believed that there was a high probability that Zhu Yunye would not care about Xinming's life and death.
Because the Five Great Families and the Japanese Kingdom are too far away from Xinming, they cannot pose any threat to Xinming. With Xinming in the east, and the Daming and Japanese Kingdom in the west separated by the entire Western Ocean, Daming has no worries about being attacked by them.
attack.
Zhu Di nodded helplessly and laughed dryly, "Okay, I will discuss this matter in the long run."
Han Du returned to Duke Ning's mansion and saw Yu Qian running over in a hurry before he could sit down.
"Teacher!" Yu Qian shouted from a distance, not even waiting to run up to Han Du before speaking.
Seeing that his expression was not good, Han Du asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Qian nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Let's go! Teacher, let's leave now!"
With that said, Yu Qian took Han Du's arm and started to walk outside.
"Wait!" Han Du was caught off guard and shouted quickly to stop Yu Qian's movements.
Looking at Yu Qian with doubts on his face, he asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going?"
Yu Qian looked into the teacher's eyes solemnly, and said with regret, "Go back to Daming! Teacher, let's go back to Daming now. After my disciples go back with you, they will never come to Xinming again!"
Han Du looked at Yu Qian in surprise. Didn't he yearn for Xinming very much before? In order to get rid of his own obstruction, he even put on a big show in front of him and even risked his life to cross the ocean to come to Xinming.
bright.
"What's wrong with you?"
Yu Qian let out a long sigh, "Teacher, did Zhu Di force you to go to the Five Families?"
"Where did you hear that?" Han Du didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
Yu Qian's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Teacher, is this really happening? He knows clearly that the people in the Five Families have a deep hatred for the teacher, yet he still forces the teacher to see them. This is not to kill the teacher.
Forced on the road?"
Han Du moved his mouth, but did not immediately reply to Yu Qian. He turned around and sat down, crossed his hands in front of his stomach, and asked again, "Where did you get the news?"
Zhu Di had just told him about this matter not long ago. There were only a limited number of people who knew about it. How could Yu Qian know about it?
Yu Qian did not hide anything. After sitting down next to the teacher, he said, "His Royal Highness told this disciple."
"Did Zhu Zhanji tell you?" Han Du instantly remembered that when Zhu Di forced him to contact the five families, Zhu Zhanji suddenly appeared and then took the initiative to ask for help.
At that time, Han Du only thought that Zhu Zhanji had bumped into him by chance. Now judging from how quickly he told Yu Qian the news, I am afraid that Zhu Zhanji deliberately rushed in to disrupt the situation!
he is
I want to help myself!
Understanding this, Han Du nodded with a smile and said to Yu Qian, "It seems that you are more discerning than my teacher. You have made a good friend Zhu Zhanji!"
"Why did the teacher say that?" Yu Qian was stunned for a moment and looked at the teacher with blank eyes.
Han Du sighed slightly and told Yu Qian about Zhu Zhanji's previous deliberate attempt to disrupt the situation.
"It turns out that he was really trying to help the teacher. It seemed that I had misunderstood him." After listening to the teacher's words, Yu Qian realized how deeply he had misunderstood Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji came to tell him before that Zhu Di wanted the teacher to contact the five families. Yu Qian thought Zhu Zhanji was also involved, and told him that it was just because he wanted to use him to force the teacher.
Now after listening to the teacher's words, he can naturally realize that Zhu Zhanji suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation in Fengtian Temple, and that he was deliberately helping the teacher escape.
When Han Du saw something wrong with Yu Qian's expression, he immediately thought of something, "What? Did you have a quarrel with him?"
"Yeah" Yu Qian nodded helplessly.
Not only did he quarrel with Zhu Zhanji, he broke up with Zhu Zhanji just now. Now the teacher told him that Zhu Zhanji was a good person. What should Yu Qian do?
Han Du saw through this disciple's thoughts at a glance, smiled and patted his shoulder to persuade him, "Since it was a misunderstanding, just let it go. Don't feel embarrassed. If it was your fault that the two of you parted ways,
Why are you using an old face for this? Have you forgotten the teacher’s teachings?”
"No, I remember it very clearly!" Yu Qian finally laughed and said fiercely, "Thick-skinned, eat enough!"
"If you are thin-skinned, you can't eat it!"
"Hahaha"
"Hahaha"
Both the master and the apprentice laughed so hard.
