The morning breeze blew away the mist, and the frightened waterbirds flew over the reeds, making the sky bright.
This night, the princes and nobles were really tortured. They kept shouting, shouting, walking and searching. Their voices were all hoarse from shouting, they could not move forward, and some of them were unlucky enough to fall into the swamp.
, dragged out like a mud monkey.
What was even more unfortunate was that he drowned directly in the water after losing his footing...
Even after searching desperately all night, no trace of the emperor and grandson was found, which made everyone worried.
But it was not all without gain. Some people found traces of a fight in a forest, and others found Emperor Yongle's yellow gelding. However, such a gain only heightened the ominous premonition in everyone's mind. Some people even started to cry...
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Yong hugged the yellow gelding and looked at the blood on the horse's back. He couldn't stop crying. He cried loudly: "Don't let anything happen to you!"
"Stop crying!" Anyuan Hou Liu Sheng, although his title is not as good as Zhu Yong's, but his elders puffed their beards and glared: "The emperor has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him!"
"Oh, uncle," Zhu Yong wiped his tears and said, "But why did the emperor lose his horse? Is there still blood on this horse?"
"Maybe..." Liu Sheng said with a dark face, "It's the blood of an animal."
"Can you tell the difference between the emperor and the beast?" Zhu Yong sobbed. He was so sad. The emperor was so kind to him.
"Okay, stop howling in mourning!" Liu Sheng stopped talking nonsense with this guy and whispered: "You continue to search here, I have to go out."
"What are you going to do?" Zhu Yong asked in a low voice.
"You don't have to ask." Liu Sheng glared at him and said, "I know, let's eat together!"
"It's already here, and I'm still afraid of being killed?!" Zhu Yong, uncharacteristically, insisted on telling the truth.
"Hey, okay..." Liu Sheng whispered in his ear and whispered a few words.
"Just listen to the person named Yang!" Zhu Yong said with wide eyes: "If you are good at mobilizing troops, you will be beheaded!"
"So you don't have to ask!" Liu Sheng sneered and gritted his teeth: "When has this happened? Why don't you care!"
After saying that, Liu Sheng ignored Zhu Yong and, surrounded by his own soldiers, headed north in the dim light of the sky.
Looking at the old uncle's back, Zhu Yong's face was full of hesitation.
"Master, what should we do?" A general apparently heard Liu Sheng's words and whispered: "Shall we also mobilize our troops?"
"Well..." Zhu Yong frowned and thought for a long time. He had his own plan, thinking that I was already a hereditary and irreplaceable prince, and there was no way I could be promoted, so why bother taking the risk of falling into that trap.
What if you are held accountable at that time?
"Forget it..." He finally shook his head dejectedly and said, "Let's keep looking."
"Hey..." The general didn't dare to say more, so he pulled his neck and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Other generals also shouted loudly and searched along the reed swamp...
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The wind carried the shout throughout the reed swamps, and even the alert clouds could hear it.
Young Master Xianyun wore a hat made of reeds on his head. He hid in the reeds and watched the group of people walking away, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was very nervous that night, and there were at least three groups of people in front and behind him. When he came within a hundred feet of them, the nervous Xianyun and the monks were all shocked. Fortunately, the location chosen by Wang Xian was very concealed, and the danger was saved several times.
.
But that’s largely because it’s dark, and it’s dawning as soon as it’s dark. After dawn, it’s hard to escape people’s eyes!
Xianyun looked back worriedly, and suddenly his eyes widened - he saw Zhu Di actually opened his eyes!
Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji also discovered it immediately and rushed to the emperor's side. Wang Xian knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and choked up: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Zhanji even rushed to Zhu Di's side, hugged his grandfather and cried softly.
Zhu Di slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zhu Zhanji's head. His eyes were full of love and said: "Good boy, Grandpa Huang did not love you in vain..."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard this, and Wang Xian was furious, saying in his heart: 'Oh my god, the emperor has heard everything...'
"I can hear what happened yesterday." Zhu Di's words confirmed Wang Xian's guess, "Okay, grandpa, your blood is flowing on him."
"Without the emperor's grandpa, there would be no grandchildren." Although Zhu Zhanji's face was full of tears, his heart burst with joy. He said to himself: "This time he will make a fortune from bleeding!" But he said with an admiring look: "I can save the emperor."
Grandpa, I can even take my life."
Zhu Di had heard this kind of words often, but under this situation, he felt so sincere that he was moved to tears and said: "Don't be so stupid in the future. Grandpa Huang still expects you to take over the country."
.”
"From now on, I will never let anyone hurt Grandpa Huang again!" Zhu Zhanji raised his brows in a domineering manner. If he doesn't take the opportunity to show his loyalty now, how long will it take? But he also has a conscience and has not forgotten the people behind him.
Wang Xian, having boasted enough, added: "Thanks to Wang Xian this time, he saved our grandfather and grandson first, and then came up with a way to transfuse blood..."
Wang Xian smiled cautiously and said to himself that I don't expect any reward, just don't bear any grudge and I will.
I don't know what I'm afraid of, but I just heard the emperor say with a smile but not a smile: "A dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor?"
"I didn't say that..." Wang Xian sweatdropped.
"Hmph." Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Have you ever thought about what you would do if you killed me?"
"I firmly believe that the emperor will bring great blessings to the sky! He will surely turn misfortunes into good fortune and turn disasters into good fortune!" Wang Xian straightened his neck and said: "I believe that if the emperor is sober, he will definitely do this!" He said with a look on his face.
I hesitated and said: "As for the possibility mentioned by the emperor, I have never thought about it."
"Humph..." Zhu Di also knew that what he said was the truth. He was just unhappy that he didn't take his own life seriously. But he couldn't say anything else, so he turned his eyes elsewhere and saw that he was lying like a lost dog.
In the reed marsh, the face pulled down again and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you go back to the palace?!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty," Zhu Zhanji said hurriedly, "It's so strange that we were assassinated this time! My grandson won't dare to act rashly until we know whether we are the enemy or not!"
"What's so weird?" Zhu Di's face became darker and darker. This time he was almost assassinated in the royal paddock. What a shame and humiliation!
"One is that Master Yao actually knew in advance that the emperor was going to be assassinated," Zhu Zhanji said solemnly: "That's why I ordered Wang Xian to come to the rescue within three days!"
"Really?!" Zhu Di immediately frowned and looked at Wang Xian: "What did Yao Guangxiao say?!" Just as he was talking, he saw Xinyu and other monks from Qingshou Temple, and couldn't help but froze and said: "How did he do this?
Did these people give it to you?”
"Your Majesty..." Wang Xian kowtowed heavily and said with tears streaming down his face: "The King of Han and Ji Gang rebelled, and my teacher was brutally killed!"
"What?!" Zhu Di wanted to sit up immediately, but he pulled at the wound, which made him cough violently.
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly helped Zhu Di lie down and said softly: "Grandpa Huang, calm down, the dragon body is important!"
"..." Zhu Di stopped coughing, but did not open his closed eyes. He asked coldly: "You only said one reason just now, what else is there?"
"At that time, I ran back with Grandpa Huang, but I couldn't see a single guard." Zhu Zhanji said: "Also, when those assassins found that there was nothing they could do against us, they actually recruited hundreds of soldiers and horses!" As he spoke,
He said with a stern face: "Grandpa Emperor! This is a heavily guarded royal garden. If more than ten or twenty people sneak in, they can still be pushed away by a hundred people! But they have at least several hundred people. Without an internal agent, it is absolutely impossible.
!It’s even possible…”
"The enemies are hidden among our own people!" Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said dejectedly: "So my grandson dare not go back rashly..."
"Humph!" Zhu Di had not experienced any storm. At this moment, he had regained his composure and said coldly: "The sky will not fall..."
"Since Grandpa Huang is fine, of course the sky will not fall down." Zhu Zhanji wiped his eyes and said, "Please Grandpa Huang, please issue an edict!"
"Well..." Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said proudly: "The more you hide and hide like this, the more opportunities others will take advantage of." He paused and said, "Is my weapon still there?"
"Here!" Zhu Zhanji hurriedly raised Zhu Di's sword with both hands in front of the emperor.
"Take my sword and go back, find Xue Lu, Liu Sheng and Zhu Yong, and ask them to quickly mobilize troops to Nanhaizi!" Zhu Di ordered in a deep voice, and then whispered a few more words, then said domineeringly: "Who dares to stop me?
, just kill it with one knife!"
"My grandson obeys!" Zhu Zhanji nodded excitedly, and just as he was about to stand up, he heard Wang Xian behind him say in a deep voice.
"Wait a minute!"
Although he had raised his nose and raised his eyebrows just now, Zhu Di obviously paid too much attention to Wang Xian and turned to him when he heard this. Zhu Zhanji also looked at Wang Xian and listened to his invitation: "I'd better go on behalf of my grandson!
"
"I'll just go!" Zhu Zhanji refused without thinking.
"Your Highness, none of us know what the situation is outside right now." Wang Xian said in a deep voice, "We must beware of them taking desperate risks."
"This..." Zhu Zhanji thought about it and said that it was true. If I go out, people will see that they are going to die and kill me. What should I do if I count the balls? However, he can't give in: "I'm not afraid! Grandpa Huang is here.
!Who dares to touch me!"
"Beware of jumping over the wall!" Wang Xian advised again.
Zhu Zhanji wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhu Di: "Okay, you go this way."
"Yes!" Wang Xian grabbed the sword from Zhu Zhanji's hand and listened to the emperor's instructions: "Did you hear clearly what I just said to my grandson?"
"I heard you clearly." Wang Xian nodded.
"Then I won't say it a second time!" Zhu Di glanced at Wang Xian and originally wanted to say what to do if you can't figure it out, but he didn't know what to do. He just felt that this kid could definitely do it. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Go ahead.
…”
"According to the order!" Wang Xian kowtowed, picked up the sword and retreated. He only called Shang Xianyun and walked deep into the reeds without anyone else.
