On a new day in the palace of King Zhao, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was sitting high on a chair and slowly tasting a glass of wine, while King Zhu Gaosui of Zhao kept walking back and forth in the hall.
"Second brother! Why are you still so leisurely? As you said, the King of Chu is determined to side with the eldest brother and the little bastard. What are we going to do? Is it possible that it is really like what the King of Chu said?
Brother, are you giving up the fight for the throne?"
The King of Han snorted coldly. He looked at the anxious King Zhao and looked at Zhu Gaosui with a look of disdain on his face. "Looking at your anxious look, what will King Chu do if he doesn't stand on our team? Although he has control over
The Shenji Battalion is powerful, but if it cannot be used by me, it will only be destined to turn into a pile of loess."
When he said this, the King of Han actually crushed the porcelain wine glass in his hand. It could be seen that although he looked very calm, he was still quite angry that the King of Chu did not stand on his side.
When King Zhao saw this, his eyes rolled around. He walked up to King Han and asked quietly: "Second brother, do you mean to kill King Chu?"
As he spoke, he made a motion of cutting his neck with his hand.
The King of Han patted King Zhao on the shoulder, and then walked outside the hall. At this time, the servants in King Zhao's palace had been dismissed by King Zhao, and the courtyard looked very empty. He pinched his hands and whistled, followed by a man.
A figure in black suddenly appeared at the bottom of the steps, half-kneeling on the ground with respect.
When King Zhao saw this scene, his eyes widened slightly! He, King Zhao's Mansion, had arranged many people for defense outside, but this person was able to sneak in without incident. This sneaking ability was really amazing.
The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth raised, with a strategizing look on his face, "Third brother, what do you think of this man's ability? I have arranged for fifty assassins like this! From now on, as long as they find the right opportunity, they will send Zhu Muchen to death.
hell."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui smiled sinisterly and gave a thumbs up to Zhu Gaoxu, "Second brother is wise! As long as the King of Chu dies, the eldest brother will save those helpless old ministers. Let's see what he can do with you, second brother!"
", the two looked at each other and laughed.
At this time, more than a few months had passed since Zhu Muchen returned from the Northern Expedition. On this day, Nanny Su was full of joy and ran all the way to the door of Zhu Muchen's study, panting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Pang Man, he's awake!"
When Zhu Muchen heard the words, he was startled at first. When he heard the word "wake up", he breathed a long sigh of relief. In order to save him, Pang Man's arm was cut off by Mahamu's people. He fell into a coma after he came back. During this period, although he looked for
I called famous doctors all over the capital, but they couldn't revive him quickly. Unexpectedly, Pang Man finally woke up today.
Zhu Muchen quickly went to the house where Pang Man was resting. At this time, there was already a medical officer from the mansion diagnosing Pang Man.
After seeing Zhu Muchen's arrival, the medical officer hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty, General Pang's health is not serious anymore. He just needs to rest for a few more days."
After the medical officer left, Zhu Muchen came to Pang Man's bedside. He excitedly held Pang Man's only hand tightly, "Uncle Pang, you finally woke up! I've been so anxious these days!"
Although Pang Man regained consciousness at this time, his face was still pale, and his weak face showed a bit of guilt: "How can my ruined life be worth worrying you so much, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Muchen gently stopped Pang Man who was about to get up with his hand, "Uncle Pang, what are you talking about! If it hadn't been for you that day, I would have died by Mahamu's sword! If you had any shortcomings, I would have died."
How can you live with dignity in this world?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Muchen felt numb in his heart. In fact, he didn't know how to comfort Pang Man for a while, so he improvised a ridiculous line that often appeared in the costume dramas he watched before, but this emotion was definitely real.
Hearing this, Pang Man burst into tears from the corners of his eyes. He held Zhu Muchen's hand tightly with a solemn expression on his face, "But I am already a man with a broken arm, and I can no longer serve the prince in the future."
The corners of Zhu Muchen's eyes were slightly moist. Pang Man's arm was broken to save him. After Haosheng comforted Pang Man, Zhu Muchen left. After all, Pang Man still needed more rest.
Back in his room, there was always a trace of gloom between Zhu Muchen's brows that could not be dissipated, but Xu Xin noticed something was wrong with him, so she put her arms around Zhu Muchen's back tenderly,
"My lord, what's wrong with you? It's a blessing that Uncle Pang wakes up, but why are you so sad?"
Zhu Muchen told Xu Xin everything that had just happened. After listening, Xu Xin also sighed and said:
"General Pang is a hero. Naturally, he cannot bear to be so lonely. He is most afraid that the hero will see his twilight years."
Speaking of this, Xu Xin suddenly said something to Zhu Muchen's ear. Zhu Muchen's eyes gradually lit up as he listened, and then he said excitedly:
"Xin'er, you are right! In the future, Haoran must become Uncle Pang's disciple and learn martial arts from him! There is no one in the world who is more suitable for this job than Uncle Pang!"
After that, Zhu Muchen often gathered his three children together and told them the heroic story of Pang Man who broke off an arm to save himself.
In this regard, Haoran and Jinxuan, who were held in Zhu Muchen's arms, obviously did not have much interest. They seemed not to be very sensitive to the matter of fighting and killing.
Surprisingly, Feng Xuan was very energetic about this! She seemed to admire the heroic behavior of Pang Man. When Zhu Muchen saw that Feng Xuan was so interested, he would often hold Feng Xuan and tell her about Pang Man.
and Hua Mulan's story, Feng Xuan was always in high spirits when listening to these stories, and even danced excitedly.
Xu Xin and Bai Xiaoman are inevitably a little jealous. Everyone in the palace knows that their prince loves Princess Anping the most, and because of Zhu Fengxuan, Zhu Muchen and Shang Ziyou are very close.
One day, Zhu Muchen went to visit Pang Man with Feng Xuan in his arms. By this time, Pang Man's body had gradually recovered and he was able to walk normally.
Pang Man was about to pray to see Zhu Muchen, but he stopped him directly.
Zhu Muchen smiled and said: "We are all one family, why should Uncle Pang be so polite? I came here today to bring Feng Xuan to meet you, Uncle Pang."
When Zhu Fengxuan saw the one-armed man, not only was she not afraid, she even stretched out her delicate little hands, grabbed Pang Man's thumb, and screamed without knowing what to say.
Zhu Muchen looked at Fengxuan and said with a smile: "This girl usually likes to listen to Uncle Pang's stories about you. This makes her mother very anxious. She always says that a little girl doesn't like poetry, calligraphy and painting, but likes heroes and fighting.
The story of fighting and killing, she even grabbed a dagger when drawing lots.”
"I plan to ask Feng Xuan and Hao Ran to become their disciples, Uncle Pang, when they grow up. Uncle Pang, you must not refuse!"
Pang Man felt the vigorous vitality coming from Feng Xuan's delicate little hand, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
"I didn't expect that the princess would like to hear about the old minister's past so much. I am really pleased! Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will definitely train the young prince and the young princess well in the future! Let them become first-class masters! I will never let the prince down.
Expected!”
Zhu Muchen saw the light shining again in Pang Man's eyes, and he was very happy in his heart. From then on, Zhu Muchen often brought Feng Xuan to visit Pang Man, and Pang Man loved the little princess so much that he completely adored her.
Treat him as his successor.
As life around him became more and more stable, Zhu Muchen also had a rare period of stability.
On this day, Zhu Muchen was holding Zhu Haoran and lying on the rocking chair he made, sighing that this was his ideal life. However, Zhu Zhanji ran to him from outside the house, panting.
"Grandpa Wang is ill, and his condition is not optimistic. No one is allowed to visit. My two uncles Wang have been mobilizing their troops recently, and it seems that they are preparing to force the palace."
Zhu Zhanji's face was livid at this time, and his brows were full of worry. Grandpa Wang's illness was originally a top-secret matter for the royal family, but it was an extraordinary situation at this time. Although his father was the prince, he didn't have anything on his hands.
What kind of soldiers? The King of Han was a famous military general and held an elite bodyguard in his hands.
And his third uncle controls the Jin Yiwei, who are the most well-equipped and capable of detecting information in the Ming Dynasty. With these two teams combined, he and his father, Zhu Gaochi, have no chance of winning in the imperial city.
The only hope now is the famous Chu King in front of him. This Chu King Zhu Muchen is already famous for being rich. The most important thing is that he has strong soldiers and horses in his fief.
The Shenji Battalion, which can only be called the elite among the elite, can make the King of Han and King Zhao extremely fearful.
And Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu naturally understands this. As a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, he will investigate the opponent's information clearly before launching his plan. The strength of Chu King Zhu Muchen is too clear. Through previous joint operations, no one
He knew better than him how terrible Zhu Muchen's true strength was. If there was anyone in the imperial city who could stop him, it was only the King of Chu.
Zhu Gaoxu was currently in his palace of the King of Han, playing with a jade stone in his hand, but at this time all his thoughts were on the King of Chu, Zhu Muchen.
"Zhu Muchen, Zhu Muchen, I didn't want to touch you at first, but you insisted on blocking my way. I've given you a chance, but in the end it's a different path."
"Don't worry. After you die, I will send someone to take good care of your family. They will not be bullied in any way. No matter what, you are considered a real man."
Then Han King Zhu Gaoxu's palms relaxed slightly, and the jade in his hand fell directly to the ground, making a crisp sound. The sound of the jade stones hitting each other was like a command.
Fifty assassins dressed in pitch-black clothing, with their faces completely covered, were half-kneeling in front of him with respect.
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han walked up to these assassins and said calmly:
"You all understand, no matter what, we must kill the King of Chu. No matter what means are used, if it is done, you will all be heroes for generations to come. If you fail to do it, haha, then we will all suffer the same fate.
