Ever since the capital was besieged by Zhou Yantian's army, the people seemed to have become accustomed to the turbulent situation. The battle between the eldest prince and Zhu Tianjiang had already become a topic that people talked about after dinner.
Only a few far-sighted old people can see the crisis involved. The old lady of the Guo family is one of them.
Zhu Tianjiang had always lived in Guo Mansion before he was granted the title of Mansion. Although the old lady usually kept silent and ignored, Guo Mansion was the home of two generations of famous generals, and the old lady took great care of Zhu Tianjiang's every word and deed.
In her eyes, and the simple Guo Ying couldn't help but talk in front of the old lady, Mrs. Guo also guessed in her heart how much hidden power Zhu Tianjiang had in the capital.
Prince Jing came out of Zhu Tianjiang's place and rode directly to the general's mansion. In the past, Prince Jing could show off his power in front of Zhu Tianjiang, but when he met the real one, he found that Zhu Tianjiang was as stubborn as a donkey.
After hearing what Prince Jing said, Mrs. Guo frowned and said nothing. She was different from Prince Jing's worries. Prince Jing was worried that Zhu Tianjiang would act on his own initiative and suffer a big loss from Xuan Ming. After all, Xuan Ming currently has tens of thousands of soldiers.
, just call in one or two thousand elites, and Zhu Tianjiang can make it difficult for him to go around.
Mrs. Guo was worried about the exact opposite. She was worried that Zhu Tianjiang would kill the eldest prince in a rage and rush out of the capital to cause trouble to Dafeng.
"Old madam, this child from Tianxiang is very stubborn. Our Yu'er and your girl Ying are as determined as eating weights. For the future of these two girls, we have to persuade them not to let this child from Tianxiang.
What kind of disaster did he cause in his anger?" Prince Jing said with a frown.
The old lady thought for a while and asked, "Prince Jing, if Tianxiang gets into a scuffle with the eldest prince in the name of the Security Council, how do you think the emperor will deal with it?"
"What else can we do, we can only let it go. The emperor's nephew is a military flag supported by the emperor's brother, and a rock laid to stabilize the emperor who succeeds in the future. The Heavenly Security Council was established by the emperor's brother
A civil flag was set up to eradicate bad politics and govern the world. Neither of these two flagpoles can be cut down by the emperor. At most, it will be done by the major 50 major boards. However, judging from the current situation, the emperor will probably favor Zhu.
Heaven descends." King Jing knew in his heart that Emperor Chengwu was going crazy because of his poverty, and he was not partial or interested.
Mrs. Guo nodded slightly, "I'm relieved if you say that. His Highness did indeed go a bit too far. I don't think this kid will give up until he lets out such a bad breath."
Prince Jing shook his hands anxiously, "Old madam, what I am worried about is not Zhu Tianjiang, but Lin Feng. That old guy is like a ghost. If he wants to kill Xuan Ming, even if he is protected by ten internal guards,
It's useless. Zhu Tianjiang reached an agreement with me before he came. He promised that Lin Feng would not take action. But I don't trust that boy, Lin Feng, that old chicken thief. He doesn't pay attention to anyone except the late emperor.
Here, if you go to assassinate the eldest prince, it will be a serious matter."
Prince Jing described Lin Feng as both a ghost and a thief, which made Mrs. Guo feel very upset. Even though the old lady and Lin Feng had never even held hands once, they had been waiting for her for twenty years.
, even a piece of pig iron can be melted.
"Prince Jing, are you worried that Xuan Ming will be assassinated by Lin Feng?" Mrs. Guo asked.
"Not only Xuan Ming, but I am also worried about the child Tianjiang. Today, even though I tried to persuade him for a long time, I still can't stop him. Tianjiang has to make Xuanming hand over the murderer. The emperor is not at home, and I can't suppress this stubborn one at all.
Donkey. Madam, I think you need to persuade me immediately. The two sides are fighting with each other. If one of us loses one of us, none of us can afford it."
Prince Jing said in his heart that if Zhu Tianjiang kills the eldest prince, Emperor Chengwu will definitely punish him with death. What will happen to the girls of our two families then? Especially his Yu'er, they are already married, so it is no longer possible to be a widow.
Well. Once the eldest prince kills Zhu Tianjiang by mistake, not to mention, the two girls will cry to death immediately.
The old lady took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "Prince Jing, what is supposed to come will eventually come. In the battle between Tiansheng and Xuanming, even if the winner is not decided now, there will be a big collision sooner or later. Let me say something
To be honest, it would be a blessing for Dafeng to end it as soon as possible. Because the two are still fledgling, they cannot cause much harm to the world. Once the two are fully fledged and have a duel, it will be a bloody situation. "
"Old madam, what you say is easy, what if one of you dies?" Prince Jing said in his heart that you are just looking at the situation and don't think it's too big. It's simply short-sighted.
Seeing that Prince Jing was a little anxious, the old lady smiled and said, "Prince Jing is a thousand years old, so don't be anxious. I will go to Zhu's Mansion right now. I believe that this child from heaven will give me such a thin face. Even if I can't persuade him, I can."
I promise you that nothing will happen to the eldest prince Xuan Ming. However, you also have to make a promise to me. If nothing happens to the eldest prince, nothing will happen to you."
As soon as King Jing heard that the old lady agreed to persuade Zhu Tianjiang, he quickly stood up and raised his hands to express his agreement. After King Jing left, he immediately went to the Ministry of War. As he thought, Li Hong on Xuanming's side could not hold him back. According to Li Hong,
, Xuanming's request was also very tough. Not only did Zhu Tianjiang release the three detained officials, but he also had to compensate the garrison for the huge losses. Otherwise, he would besiege the Security Procuratorate on suspicion of assassinating the prince.
Prince Jing angrily threw the whip on the table, "Grandma, I want to fucking rebel. I'll just let them make trouble. I want to see how capable these two little bastards are. Come and invite someone right away."
Lord Chu Yun came to the Ministry of War."
Prince Jing was really anxious. He was going to use the troops in the city. If that didn't work, he would detain both of them and wait until the emperor came back to deal with them.
Not long after, Chu Yun, the nine-door admiral, arrived at the military office. Chu Yun had ordered people to strictly guard the city gate. More than a hundred people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing were not allowed to enter. He also sent people to keep an eye on Zhu Tianjiang and Xuanming's two mansions.
, report to him immediately if there is any movement.
Prince Jing looked at the two important ministers with military power with a dark face, "It seems that Zhu Tianjiang and Xuan Ming are going to have a fierce fight tonight. We can't just watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery. We have to give these two boys a look."
Li Hong and Chu Yun looked at each other, and Li Hong asked, "Prince Jing, do you want to use force to stop them?"
Prince Jing raised his eyelids and said awkwardly, "It's not to stop them, but to prevent trouble. General Chu, I order you to gather two thousand soldiers and horses. If something happens, arrest them immediately."
"Prince Jing, I think it's better for you to come forward in person. As long as you are present, I believe that Xuan Ming and Zhu Tianjiang will not dare to mess around." Li Hong said uneasily.
Prince Jing looked as embarrassed as if he had eaten bitter gourd, "I tell you two, you don't know something. I reached an agreement with that boy Zhu Tianjiang. He agreed not to let anyone attack Xuan Ming, and I also promised not to do it tonight.
Come forward. It would be bad if I go back on my word."
When Li Hong and Chu Yun heard this, they said, "Good guy, you hide yourself and let us come forward. No one can guarantee whether something will happen if you act blindly. Then we will bear the responsibility."
King Jing was also in trouble. Zhu Tianjiang actually threatened him with Yu'er, saying that if King Jing dared to stop him from arresting the murderer, he would kill the eldest prince and kill him out of the city gate. Zhu Tianjiang would kill him when the time came.
The incident between you and Yu'er was posted all over the city, let's see where Prince Jing shows his face. Prince Jing wanted to strangle Zhu Tianjiang to death on the spot, but he was forced to agree not to interfere tonight.
In the seemingly peaceful capital, all forces were secretly mobilizing troops. Zhu Tianjiang used the ink ring in his hand to summon one hundred stick stick masters under Mu Qi. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Mu Qi. Mu Qi
He said that Lord Wei Zhan had given an order before he left. No one except him was allowed to use the men and horses at the sticky pole.
Zhu Tianjiang did not show much anger towards Mu Qi's 'betrayal'. He knew that Emperor Chengwu would definitely make some arrangements before leaving the capital, otherwise he would not leave so safely.
The people at the sticky pole didn't come, but more than 20 of Xuanle's martial arts masters came. Xuanle secretly formed an alliance with Zhu Tianjiang, and he didn't want Zhu Tianjiang to be suppressed by Xuanming. That was inconsistent.
Xuan Le's interests. At present, Xuan Le still needs Zhu Tianjiang's identity as security envoy to scan the officials who have taken refuge in Xuan Ming and Xuan Can. Therefore, Xuan Le does not hesitate to send secret agents to help Zhu Tianjiang.
In the capital, the happiest person is the ghost doctor Zhuo Xing. During this period, he has been holding back to preserve his strength. When Chang Wu went to the garrison to arrest Gu Zhitong, the people sent by Zhuo Xing to monitor unexpectedly discovered that Zhu Tianjiang had a group of secret agents.
I originally wanted to follow Zhu Si to their base camp. Who knew that Zhu Si was as slippery as a loach and did not follow him.
After learning that the eldest prince openly killed people from the Security Procuratorate, Zhuo Xing felt that an opportunity had come. He would take this rare opportunity to make the two groups fight to the death.
As night fell, the people seemed to sense the special atmosphere tonight, and merchants and inns closed their doors early.
All the yamen servants at the yamen gate of the Criminal Department had been evacuated. Zhu Tianjiang and the eldest prince both sent people to inform the Inspector Shen Baigong, saying that they would use the yamen gate of his mansion tonight. The Inspector Shen Baigong of the Criminal Department was in a hurry.
Both of them wanted to hang themselves. It was hard for these two men to go anywhere, so they chose his yamen door.
The street in front of the Si Yamen was eerily quiet, with dark clouds covering the bright moon and only two large lanterns at the door swaying in the wind.
A sound of horse hooves and chaotic footsteps broke the quiet street. At both ends of the street, two men and horses appeared in darkness. One was a 600-man army with bright armor headed by the eldest prince, while the other was wearing a
Zhu Tianjiang and his party were serving as officers of the Security Procuratorate.
The two groups of men and horses stopped each other less than ten meters apart. The eldest prince was riding on the horse. Seeing that Zhu Tianjiang only had about 300 people, he couldn't help but feel funny. He thought to himself that this guy must be crazy about gains and losses. Don't you know?
These 300 people were all represented by Zhu Tianjiang's elite, including more than 20 martial arts masters sent by Xuan Le. If he really took action, Zhu Tianjiang was absolutely sure to capture the opponent's 600 people.
According to Mrs. Guo's instructions, Zhu Tianjiang did not ask Master Lin Feng to follow him. However, Zhu Tianjiang had ambushed no less than 3,000 men and horses around him. Not only Zhu Tianjiang's secret men, but also Mu Qi at Sticky Post
He also took dozens of people with him and hid in the surrounding inconspicuous rooftop trees.
Although Mu Qi followed Wei Zhan's instructions and did not follow Zhu Tianjiang's instructions, he had to go there in person because of his responsibilities. What shocked Mu Qi was that so many hidden people were found around him. The secret forces in the capital
Everyone took action, and the ghost doctor Zhuo Xing was no exception. He personally took action tonight, preparing to stir up this muddy water into ### waves.
Zhu Tianjiang and Xuan Ming each came to the front of the team. Both sides stared at each other coldly, their eyes full of hatred.
Tap tap tap~ There was a sound of horse hooves, and another group of people appeared at the street corner. This group of people carried the banner of the Admiral's Mansion, and the leader was General Hai Dongsheng.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhu, I have been ordered by my lord to tell you not to take action. Whoever takes action first, don't blame me for being unkind~!"
Before Hai Dongsheng finished speaking, he saw Zhu Tianjiang reaching out and raising a gold medal towards him.
"General Hai, I order you to take your troops and horses to evacuate immediately with the gold medal given by the emperor. Otherwise, you will be disobeying the order!" Zhu Tianjiang said coldly.
Hai Dongsheng was startled, and under the dim light, he looked at the four golden characters "I am here in person" on it. He shrank his head in fear, and went back without saying a word and taking the others with him.
In an inconspicuous grocery store on the corner of the street, Prince Jing and Chu Yun and Li Hong were actually hiding in it. This was a place they had temporarily requisitioned, and Prince Jing couldn't help but worry, so he ran over secretly.
An official from the Admiral's Office ran in and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhu Tianjiang has used the imperial gold medal, and the troops and horses of the Admiral's Office have been withdrawn!"
When Prince Jing heard this, he shook his hands at Chu Yun and said, "Look at the potential of your people, what are you afraid of!"
"You are standing and talking without pain in your back. It's like 'I am here in person'. Who dares to disobey you?" Chu Yun lowered his voice and said with dissatisfaction.
"Shh~! Keep your voice down. Let's take a look and talk. If it doesn't work, all three of us will go out and stop it." Li Hong quickly stopped the quarrel between Prince Jing and Chu Yun.
Outside the Si Yamen, the tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out. The eldest prince looked at the gold medal in Zhu Tianjiang's hand and his eyelids twitched.
"Zhu Tianjiang, do you invite me here just to rely on this gold medal to overwhelm others?"
"Hmph! Using your father's things against you is too small for me, Zhu Tianjiang." Zhu Tianjiang said as he put away the gold medal, waved his hand, and someone was lifted out of the car behind the team.
Xia Qing Daniu carried Chang Wu to the front of the team. Chang Wu had been bandaged and treated, but his face was still frighteningly pale.
"Brother Chang Wu, in front of you today, I personally killed that bastard to avenge you." Zhu Tianjiang looked at Chang Wu and said coldly.
Chang Wu showed a smile of relief and nodded reluctantly. Hearing this, Zheng Shan, who was behind the eldest prince Xuan Ming, trembled slightly.
The eldest prince pointed the spear in his hand and said, "Stop trying to scare people like this. If you don't let the three adults go tonight, I will let you crawl back."
Zhu Tianjiang stared at Xuan Ming coldly. If he hadn't made a double guarantee to Mrs. Guo and Prince Jing, Zhu Tianjiang would have killed him tonight.
Just when the two sides were about to take action, Hai Dongsheng suddenly ran back with his troops.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhu, I have been ordered by Prince Jing to do so. No one is allowed to take action. Otherwise, whoever takes action first will be captured!" Hai Dongsheng raised his hand and said, "This is my emperor's holy order. Your Majesty.
When he is not in the capital, Prince Jing, who is a thousand years old, can carry out the imperial orders on his behalf!"
Zhu Tianjiang and the eldest prince both looked at Hai Dongsheng. Hai Dongsheng held up the holy order proudly and said in his heart, I am not afraid that you will get the gold medal this time.
Zhu Tianjiang frowned and secretly cursed King Jing for not accepting his promise and still asking someone to intervene in tonight's action. Just when Zhu Tianjiang was thinking about whether to take action first, a small black arrow shot out from the darkness with the sound of wind.
When he came over, Xiaojian's target was no one else, but the big cow standing next to Zhu Tianjiang.
Pounce~ The small arrow hit the big bull on the shoulder.
"Ah~!" Da Niu yelled, "You bastard, they shot me!" As he said that, Da Niu gritted his teeth and pulled out the small arrow, with a piece of flesh and blood removed from the hook.
Zhu Tianjiang didn't know where the arrow came from, so he found an excuse, "General Hai, they were the ones who shot it first, brothers~kill!" Zhu Tianjiang gave the order, and several people quickly came up to protect him.
He and Chang Wu.
The big bull swung the iron rod, took a few steps angrily and leaped high into the air. With a 'buzz' sound, the big stick in his hand hit the roof of Xuanming Building!
