Zhu Cixiang opened his eyes early the next morning, turned over and saw that no one was around him, so he hurriedly got up and went out. Wang Zhengnan was practicing with Li Yan in the yard: "Chang Yu...is gone?"
"Let's go." The two of them hurriedly saluted, but it was Princess Kunxing who spoke. She was leaning against the door with blank eyes. Next to her, Su Jing looked up at the sky with her hands behind her back.
Zhu Cixiang looked a little disappointed. He had already developed a sense of dependence on Chang Yu, but he didn't say a word before he left. He looked around and couldn't help but frown. There were dozens of guards left in the temple. Could it be that he left alone?
Go...no, the Chen brothers are nowhere to be seen.
"The governor only left with seven people," Li Yan said softly.
"Take Qing Yi away too, huh, you are a man who likes the new but hates the old!" Su Jing snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the room.
"General Li, what on earth did Chang Yu go to? He said it was extremely dangerous, but he only brought seven people with him. How can this be done?" Zhu Cixiang grabbed Li Yan and asked,
Li Yan shook his head: "My lord, I really don't know. Before he left, the governor only said that he had something important to do." Of course he knew what Chang Yu was doing, but he couldn't tell the prince that the eunuch was tired of living a comfortable life and went to have some excitement.
.
Okay, Zhu Cixiang sighed, then shrugged and walked to Princess Kunxing: "Chang Yu is not a mortal who is hard-working and cannot die. A half-immortal like Wuwei Lao Tao can't even hold it in his hands. Who in this world can kill him?"
Got him..."
Princess Kunxing, who was still worried at first, relaxed her brows after hearing this: "Yes, who in this world can kill him?" Then she looked at Li Yan and asked: "General Li, when should we leave?"
.
"If your Highness is willing, I can leave at any time." Li Yan kowtowed. Everyone was shocked when he heard this. Gu Junen, who was reading in the room, couldn't help shaking his hands and stood up.
Li Yan’s heart was filled with excitement!
He is a person with exquisite skills. Taking into account various small details, such as the actions and demeanor of Princess Kunxing when talking to the prince, if she were just an ordinary lady, even Chang Yu's girl would not be able to speak so casually and naturally when meeting the prince.
close.
There is only one possibility!
The eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, Her Royal Highness Kunxing.
"They say General Li is very powerful. After all, I can't hide it from you." Kun Xing was startled and smiled.
At this time, Chang Yu was already in Xiangling Town (today's Xiangfen County), which was dozens of miles away. There were dozens of village households close to Fenhe River, and there were several small shops by the roadside. However, there was no business due to the recent heavy snowfall and road closures.
At this moment, eight people from Chang Yu were drinking hot mutton soup in one of the restaurants, looking at the Fenhe River not far away: "Ale, please go over later and see if the ice in the river can pass through."
.
"Is this still useful?" Chen Suole stood up and walked out of the restaurant, picked up a stone the size of a sea bowl and threw it into the Fen River with a bang. Then there were bursts of chirping sounds, and he turned to Chang Yu and said:
"The shopkeeper can excel."
"Your arm strength is so strong now." The restaurant is more than thirty meters away from the river bank. He can throw such a big stone effortlessly with his arm. Chang Yu couldn't help but praise, and Chen Suole chuckled: "After all, it's still
Not as good as someone with extraordinary talent."
"Are you talking about me or Wuzhong?" Chang Yu said with a smile.
"How dare you talk about the shopkeeper? You should talk about that guy in Wuzhong."
"Is Wuzhong really that powerful?" The little Taoist nun Qing Yi rarely speaks, but she has heard this name too much recently, which aroused her great curiosity.
"He is born with supernatural powers, thick skin and thick flesh, and his sword skills are holy. Although his internal strength is not as good as yours, you will definitely not be able to beat him in a fight at this time." Chen Ruxin interjected from the side, and several other guards nodded in agreement.
"So Pindao...what I lack is the heat?" At this time, Chang Yu and his group were all dressed as hunters, and Qingyi was no exception, so they changed their words and did not dare to call them Pindao.
"Practical combat!" Chang Yu set the tone: "That's why I brought you out to practice this time, so that you can have a chance to help me."
Qing Yi snorted, but couldn't help but ask: "Although Wuzhong's martial arts are great, you are the shopkeeper after all. Why does he bully you? Why do you keep him when he offends the shopkeeper like this?"
"Hey, I'm not Dong yet... There's no one available in the store. Look at all of them, they're all useless. I can only endure it." Chang Yu shrugged. The Chen brothers looked a little embarrassed and lowered their heads to drink soup.
He didn't hear it, Qing Yi said to himself: "The two brothers from the Chen family are already very good at martial arts. I have beaten both of them, but Wuzhong is even better than them. I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid. After playing a hundred games, you will definitely beat him..." Chang Yu encouraged Qing Yi. It was obvious that he had to carve such a piece of rough jade carefully. Qing Yi was extremely convinced of Chang Yu and lit the candle.
The head couldn't help but ask: "The place the shopkeeper is going to is very dangerous this time, why didn't he bring Master Sujing with him? She has excellent swordsmanship and is very familiar with that area." After hearing this, other attendants were also very curious.
.
There is no more suitable candidate than Su Jing, who is highly skilled in martial arts and fierce, and having her follow her is tantamount to being covered by traffic accident insurance. When Su Jing learned that Chang Yu was leaving early in the morning, she offered to follow him, but Chang Yu rejected her.
For him, there is nothing more important than the safety of the prince and Princess Kunxing. Although Li Yan is by his side, Chang Yu has to add an extra layer of insurance. Wang Zhengnan is responsible for personal protection of Zhu Cixiang, and Sujing serves Princess Kunxing.
.
As for myself, I have no control over my destiny. I will fight with anyone who wants my life.
But this time, he just wanted to risk his life. No one forced him to risk his life. It was entirely due to the innate risk factor in his bones and blood. He loved adventure and excitement too much.
Now the overall situation of the world is temporarily maintained at a stable balance point. The Tatars in the north are deeply involved in internal fighting, and Zu Dashou is sitting in Ningyuan. They can't make any splash. The plague and famine in the capital are also under control, and they are ready to move.
Zuo Liangyu was forced by him to attack Jingxiang in order to contain Li Zicheng in Xi'an. The imperial court sent troops to confront the intruders along the Yellow River. However, it was impossible to start a war a few years ago. During this period, although Chang Yu was ordered to patrol the border, he was very boring.
.
Fighting and killing are my favorite things to do.
Now the opportunity has come. He wants to cross the river west to reconnoiter the enemy camp in person. This is not the first time he has done this. When he first joined the army in Taiyuan at the beginning of the year, he was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. He followed a few veterans with a few novices.
If you don't accept them, you can sneak into the bandit camp and miraculously kill King Xiaochuang.
It was luck and carelessness on the part of the thieves that they were able to kill the little intruder king Li Laiheng unintentionally. At that time, they were invincible. When the officers and soldiers saw them, they either surrendered or fled. They never dreamed that there would be officers and soldiers who would stay at night and sneak into the camp to assassinate (Chang Yu
It wasn’t for the purpose of assassination, it was just a random stabbing incident.)
Now and then, Li Zicheng, who has suffered countless losses, is no longer so careless, and has taken various countermeasures, including counter-espionage, counter-infiltration, and even active infiltration and attack.
Now the two armies are facing each other across the river, and each other is sending spies into the other side's territory to conduct reconnaissance. Every day and every moment is bloody, and this trip is indeed as dangerous as Chang Yu said.
