Putting down the wine glass, Zhu Cixiang looked at Chang Yu with hot eyes: "You have a long way to go and are surrounded by dangers. I am very worried. What's more, once you leave, I have no idea about everything and am very irritable." After being sensational, he expressed his depression. Indeed, Chang Yu has now become his backbone, and he is really worried about the gains and losses of this move, and is at a loss.
"Come as you go, it can take as little as ten days or as long as half a month. You can just make money with Wang Dehua and the others in the palace without worries. I will go outside to see what the situation is like and to plan countermeasures." Chang Yu consoled him.
Zhu Cixiang sighed and said: "The mountains are high and the roads are far away. The roads are blocked by wind and snow. It's not as simple as you think. I'm afraid it will take a month at the earliest."
“The whole journey was done by horse and carriage, so you didn’t have to wait so long.”
Although the trip was in a hurry, Chang Yu had already made preparations, that is, all the cavalry was on the road day and night, delivering the money in the shortest possible time, and striving for Xuanda to send troops to Taiyuan as soon as possible.
Regardless, Zhu Cixiang nodded, and then looked at Chang Yu with a worried look: "Outside is not as good as in the palace. Although you are unparalleled in fists and feet, if you encounter a war, the sword has no eyes. Remember not to be aggressive. You can ignore other things, as long as you are safe. Just come back.”
What he said was sincere. Chang Yu was inexplicably moved after hearing this, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I really don't notice ordinary battles."
Zhu Cixi couldn't help but laugh: "I know you are powerful, but I heard that you even made a simple sword. Are you planning to use it in the charge?"
The speaker didn’t know if he was serious about it, but Chang Yu’s heart tightened after hearing this. The fact that he asked a famous craftsman to forge a knife was quite secretive, and only Fang San knew about it. But now it seems, hey... this little eunuch who serves around him is actually nothing more. It's just the prince's eyeliner.
It really is the royal style of doing things.
I'm afraid there are still people around him... Suddenly Chang Yu thought of the feeling of being stared at a few days ago. Could it be that...
The fluctuations in his heart were uneven, but there was no difference on the surface. Chang Yu chuckled and said: "Mounting on horseback to kill the enemy and roaming the battlefield is one of my great ambitions in this life. I hope that one day I will be able to fulfill my wish."
"Let's talk about these things later." Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and suddenly took out something from his arms, but it was a sheathed dagger.
"This is a sharp blade that can cut iron like clay. I usually like it very much. Now I give it to you for self-defense." Zhu Cixiang said as he pulled out the dagger. He didn't see the cold light or hear the dragon's roar. A corner of the Boshan furnace was cut off, and Chang Yu was shocked. It was so sharp!
Zhu Cixiang looked proud and stretched out his hand to hand the dagger to Chang Yu.
Chang Yu took it in his hand and played with it endlessly, his love for it was beyond words.
"By the way, can Panjiayao take care of the aftermath?" Zhu Cixiang suddenly asked,
Chang Yu quickly put away the dagger: "It's settled."
In fact, from the first day he left the palace, he had reported all the details to Zhu Cihong, including buying a house, buying a house, digging holes and burying treasures. This was first of all because of his selflessness and loyalty to the old Zhu family, or to be precise, to the Ming Dynasty. , Secondly, there is no need for him to worry about Xiao Jiujiu. Of course, the Zhu family is extremely concerned about things like burying treasures, and deliberately concealing it might be counterproductive.
Although Zhu Cixiang or even anyone from the royal family had not personally seen the scene, everyone in the old Zhu family of the house west of Panjiayao Village had already known about it.
"Have those people been dealt with?" Zhu Cixiang seemed to ask casually, but Chang Yu secretly sighed in his heart, is it really so easy for them to kill someone? Is it so casual!
Of course, what Zhu Cixiang was talking about was the servants bought by Chang Yu who were involved in burying the treasure. In his opinion, these people were killed just to keep it a secret, and they were bought in the first place.
"Not yet, I plan to take them out of Beijing to the west," Chang Yu said calmly.
"That's fine. It's a long way and it's easy to arrange. Even a thoughtful person can't see anything." Zhu Cixiang thought Chang Yu wanted to take Luo Tang out of the capital and kill him.
Chang Yu was noncommittal, and the two chatted for a while. Zhu Cihong called the eunuch to arrange the food and drinks, and he planned to have a good chat with Chang Yu.
Chang Yu was worried about Yang Wuwei, and had originally planned to ask Fang San to deliver the money, but because of the incident with Pu Dao just now, he gave up the idea. Just when he wanted someone to go find Lao Hu, he suddenly heard that a eunuch was coming to deliver the order.
The edict is a secret edict given by Chongzhen to Chang Yu
The meaning of the secret decree is that no one else can respect him except him, even the eunuch who passed the decree, even the prince Zhu Cihong.
Chang Yu took it, opened it and glanced at it briefly, then folded it and put it in his arms, staring closely behind the eunuch who delivered the order. The objects carried by the two young eunuchs over there caught his eye and made his eyes shine.
Sure enough, seeing Chang Yu's expression, the eunuch who delivered the order smiled: "Eunuch Chang, this is the armor given to you by the emperor. It is a treasure of the palace. It is said that it was cast by Qi Shaobao of the previous dynasty as a gift to the late emperor."
"This is Shan Wenjia!" Chang Yu was overjoyed. He walked up to the armor in three steps and two at a time. He stretched out his hand and started shaking. It was heavy but still within reach.
"It's Shan Wenjia," said the eunuch who delivered the order.
Mountain Wenjia is rarely seen in later generations, and it is even said that it has never been unearthed, but it can be seen everywhere in online games or comics. Yes, it is the kind of mountain Wenjia that is so handsome that it has no friends, and Erha can transform into a wolf king when wearing it.
, this kind of armor began in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song and Ming Dynasties. It has an exquisite appearance, is well made, fits close to the body, is easy to repair, and has strong comprehensive protection capabilities. However, because of its complicated production and high cost, it cannot be widely used by ordinary soldiers. It is limited to senior military attachés or close relatives.
Only military generals have it.
Chang Yu liked it so much that he immediately took off his clothes and put on his armor. He didn't care whether Qi Jiguang made it himself or how strong the protection was. He only wanted one word, handsome! Handsome, handsome, as long as he is handsome!
It was really handsome. Although there was no full-length mirror to look at it, Chang Yu felt very good about himself. He walked around the palace several times in his mountain armor, and he was no less fond of the sharp dagger that the prince gave him.
It's just that it's metal armor after all. Although the weight is acceptable and the armor is lined with leather, it's definitely not suitable for wearing in the winter! It's freezing!
It seems that I need to find someone to make a cotton lining quickly, otherwise it will be impossible to take it off without a cup of tea in this ice and snow.
After being rewarded with some broken silver, the eunuch ordered the eunuch to leave. At this time, good soups and dishes were brought to the table. Chang Yu and Zhu Cixiang sat on the floor, drinking glasses and chatting to their heart's content.
"The armaments of the eunuchs under your command must be hidden. If there is an accident, it will be very involved and the consequences will be disastrous." Although Zhu Cixiang is young, he is not a novice. He is well aware of the seriousness of this matter. Even the royal family cannot hide their armor.
, there is no murder weapon visible in the palace, not to mention that as the prince, he created a team. If Chongzhen knew about it, he would not be able to clean it up by jumping into the Yellow River.
"Prince, you can rest assured that this matter was done secretly, and only three or five people knew about it. Moreover, even if it is accidentally exposed, there will be excuses." Chang Yu smiled slightly: "On the pretext of paying for it, we borrowed some armaments from other personal guards.
Everything makes sense.”
Zhu Cixiang thought for a moment and nodded: "This is a good reason."
The two chatted for a while, and after seeing that it was getting late, they dispersed. Zhu Cihong was going to a boxing match to black out the nobles' money, while Chang Yu had to leave the palace quickly to give money to Yang Wuwei.
The reason why he went out of the palace to deliver the money in person was, firstly, to reduce the number of people involved in the matter, and secondly, since the palace door was closed at the moment, he was the only one who could get out.
In fact, the money to buy armaments comes from the Prince's Mansion. Zhu Cihong did make a lot these days, but Chang Yu made even more. To put it simply, although the richest eunuch in the palace is not necessarily the richest, he should not be among the top five or three.
All big problems.
After taking the silver and putting it into the package, Chang Yu carried it out of the Prince's Mansion and headed straight to the south. After brushing his face and adding the token, he left the Chengtian Gate and walked along the Qianbu Corridor towards the Daming Gate of the south.
