After hearing the news, King Zhao and others hurriedly gathered around.
Seeing the embarrassed Zhu Zhanji, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, Chen Gui and others, they burst into tears, knelt down and cried: "Your Highness, what the hell is going on?!"
Seeing that the three people summoned by the emperor's grandfather had arrived, Zhu Zhanji finally let go of his hanging heart and said with a sore nose: "It's a long story..." He whispered and ordered: "You guys find a big sedan.
, follow me to pick up the emperor."
"The sedan has been prepared." Zhu Yong pointed to the huge sedan chariot at the back and said politely: "I thought it would be useful, so I asked someone to carry it."
"My lord is interested." Zhu Zhanji nodded casually, because his eyes were completely attracted by King Zhao.
Zhu Zhanji's eyes were full of resentment, and his gaze was like a sword piercing his third uncle.
King Zhao seemed to have no idea at all. He walked forward, took Zhu Zhanji's hand, and said with red eyes: "Are you okay?"
"Thank you for your trouble, Third Uncle." Zhu Zhanji took out his hand, wiped it on his clothes and said, "I have disappointed Third Uncle."
"This can't be considered your fault." King Zhao didn't care at all, and said with a happy face: "It's good that you're fine, but I've made my third uncle worried." He paused and said, "Let's go pick up the emperor quickly.
"
After saying that, King Zhao walked straight in, and all the ministers followed him, walking in the muddy reeds.
Zhu Zhanji stared at King Zhao's back angrily until he was tapped on the shoulder.
Without turning around, Zhu Zhanji knew it was Wang Xian. The two of them followed behind silently. Taisun asked in a low voice: "He didn't do anything wrong, did he?"
"It's a lot of trouble." Wang Xian briefly explained what happened, but ignored Cheng Guogong's struggle.
"That's him!" Taisun gritted his teeth and said, "He is the one who caused all this!"
"Without evidence, it's useless to say anything." Wang Xian sighed: "I'm lucky to be here now."
Zhu Zhanji nodded fearfully. He didn't think so. If Wang Xian hadn't arrived in time, if the blood transfusion hadn't been effective, he and his father would have been defeated!
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji glanced at Wang Xian, felt hot in his heart, and held his hand tightly.
The grandson wanted to say something, but felt that it was too pale, so he just called "brother" and choked with sobs.
Wang Xian patted Zhu Zhanji on the back and said softly: "It's not time to relax yet."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, adjusted his mood, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go there too!"
Then he and Wang Xian strode forward...
When Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji arrived, they saw all the nobles, civil and military officials from the King of Han down, kneeling in front of Zhu Di, crying bitterly.
Zhu Di was lying on a couch made of reeds, his body was wrapped in bandages, his face was pale, and he was weak when speaking. Only his eyes seemed to be brighter than usual, so bright that it was scary!
"Why are you all mourning?" Zhu Di said slowly: "I'm not dead yet! I can't die either!"
"Father..." Zhu Gaosui cried until he was about to die. He wiped away his tears and sobbed: "What happened to you? How did you get hurt like this?"
"I encountered a man-eating tiger!" Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaosui with his gloomy eyes and said quietly, "If I can save my life, it will be a blessing in heaven!"
"So that's it..." When Zhu Gaosui heard this, he was startled at first, but then he felt relieved... He knew that his father wanted to save face and would not admit that he had been assassinated. King Zhao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that as long as his father didn't know,
If you keep pursuing the case, your hope of passing the test will greatly increase.
"Your Majesty," Yang Rong said softly, "Let's go back to the palace first."
"Hmm." Zhu Di responded, his eyes falling on Liu Sheng and Xue Lu, and he nodded approvingly.
Liu Sheng and Xue Lu were naturally very happy, but Zhu Yong's heart sank and he thought to himself: 'Is the emperor dissatisfied with me? This is terrible!'
Zhu Yong watched in confusion as the emperor was carried onto the sedan chair, and when he saw Liu Sheng and two people named by the emperor to accompany him, his heart sank to the bottom. Looking at the lake beside him, he wished he could jump in and die.
When Zhu Di's sedan passed by Zhu Zhanji and Wang Xian, it stopped.
"Grandson." Zhu Di's voice sounded.
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly got up, leaned next to the sedan, and asked softly: "What are your orders, Grandpa Huang?!"
"I guess the tiger is still in Nanhaizi. You and Wang Xian will lead a search!" Zhu Di in the sedan chair was filled with rage. His eyes were gleaming with anger. Being put in such a situation by a few assassins was a shame that Emperor Yongle had never experienced in his life!
"According to the order." Zhu Zhanji responded hurriedly.
"Try to catch it alive," Zhu Di said quietly, "I will peel off its skin myself, take out the bones and make wine to drink!"
"Yes!" Zhu Zhanji agreed again, watching Zhu Di's sedan go away, and then said to Wang Xian on the side: "Brother, it's time for us to take revenge."
"..." Wang Xian didn't say anything, but looked worried. He had a feeling that he might meet the person he didn't want to meet!
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanji asked, "Are you worried that the assassin has escaped?"
"Yeah." Wang Xian responded casually, covered up and said, "Let's get started."
"Okay!" Zhu Zhanji cheered up, got on his horse, and came to the 10,000 soldiers and horses Zhu Di left for him.
Zhu Zhanji's eyes swept across the officers and soldiers in front of him. Dozens of officers knelt down and said loudly: "Please dispatch your Majesty the Grand Sun!"
"Okay!" Zhu Zhanji nodded and said majestically: "The army has blocked Nanhaizi. Even a bird can't fly with its wings!" After a pause, he said: "What we have to do is to plow Nanhaizi like a field.
Once again, find the mouse hiding in the corner! Do you understand everything?"
"I understand!" the soldiers responded loudly.
"Let's start!" Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, and the army mounted their horses and set off, starting an overwhelming manhunt!
Teams of cavalry swept back and forth in Haizi, and tens of thousands of infantry led all the hounds in the capital, searching every forest, lake, and cave!
On the lake, there were hundreds of boats searching. In order to force the assassins out of the yellow gauze tent, they even lit fires everywhere, burning the endless reeds to ashes!
Fireworks shroud Nanhaizi with a radius of hundreds of miles, and we have to dig deep to find the assassin!
The 10,000 people under Taisun were just a mobile search force. Zhu Yong and Xue Lu's troops were also on the move. Every time Taisun searched a place, they sent troops to guard the area and no one was allowed to get closer!
In this way, we searched every inch of the scorched earth for two full days. Only one-third of the unsearched area on the map was left, and it was surrounded layer by layer. If the assassin was really still in Nanhaizi, there would be no way to escape.
Escaped!
No one thought about whether the assassin would have escaped from Nanhaizi long ago. Because what they wanted to do was to vent their hatred for the emperor! Even if the assassin could not be found, they would still destroy this piece of Nanhaizi!
When the emperor is angry, blood will flow everywhere!
This manhunt is the wrath of the emperor!
In the early morning, the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning vegetation, and visibility was extremely poor.
Under layers of protection, Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji walked in a long and narrow area that had not been searched.
After these days of tossing, both of them were very tired and no longer had any hope.
"The search will be almost completed tonight." Wang Xian's eyes were red, which were caused by the smoke, and his voice was hoarse.
"Yeah." Zhu Zhanji also had a good attitude and hissed: "We can go back to the palace to recover in the evening."
"Hurry up," Wang Xian said with worried eyes, "I'm worried about Zhenjiang..."
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji nodded: "I went back to say hello in the past two days, and I mentioned to Grandpa Huang about sending troops, but he said to find the assassin first." He spat out the straw in his mouth and said depressedly: "This
Does it matter?"
"Hey..." Wang Xian couldn't understand Zhu Di's thoughts. King Zhao was so suspicious, but Zhu Di didn't seem to care and let him wait in front of the bed all day long. The prince was about to die, but he and his grandson were left alone all day
, dig three feet into the ground here...
The two of them were worried, and suddenly they heard an explosion. Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji were shocked. This was a signal that the target had been discovered!
Everyone looked up and saw a firework exploding three to five miles northwest!
The fireworks were the order, no need to say anything else, everyone rushed to the northwest as hard as they could!
They were not the only ones to see the fireworks, search troops from all directions saw them at the same time!
"Hurry! Hurry!" Everyone near the area urged their horses desperately, rushing towards the place where the fireworks exploded like a tide.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
The rumble of horse hooves sounded from all directions, and smoke and dust rose from all directions, heading towards the same target!
Among the team that was desperately advancing, there was a figure of a monk who was kind and strict!
But these days, it's not all bad news. At least Wang Xian won back his eighteen brothers!
Wang Xian originally thought that they should be dead. Unexpectedly, not only did these monks come back, but none of them died, but they were slightly injured to varying degrees!
According to Monk Xinyan, they were indeed in danger at that time, but an expert came to help and fired several magic arrows in succession, each of which hit a masked man in the face!
The masked men seemed to know where the master was coming from, and they were all confused for a moment. They took the opportunity to escape and entered the reed swamp before the reinforcements from the other side arrived.
"Then why don't you come to join us?" Wang Xian asked curiously.
When Monk Xinyan heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, but Xinci tried to smooth things over for him by saying, "The pursuers are right behind us, and I'm worried that they might harm you! In order to implicate the assassin, we have no choice but to flee in another direction."
"No wonder." Wang Xian suddenly said: "Those assassins have never shown up these days!" He said with a grateful face: "Senior brothers are really great!"
"Haha, of course," Xinci stroked her bald head and said with a shameless smile, "Otherwise he is your senior brother."
"Actually..." Xinyan is a devout Buddhist disciple after all. He never lies, and he can't stand the kind-hearted Niubi, so he finally told the truth: "We are lost..."
"Haha..." Wang Xian's smile froze.
Old Xinci's face turned red with embarrassment, and he said awkwardly: "You can also say that..."
"Hahahaha!" Wang Xian finally couldn't help it and laughed loudly, and all the fellow disciples also laughed.
After finishing laughing, Wang Xian hugged Xinci and Xinyan hard and said softly:
