Just when Zhu Su was about to return to Xuanfu City with his guards, he heard Chonggang say: "Your Highness, look at this arrow!"
Zhu Su turned his head and saw that Chong Gang's expression was very unnatural. His expression was not one of fear or happiness, but a very special emotion.
Feeling strange, Zhu Su asked, "What's wrong?" Then he took the arrow from Chonggang's hand and looked at it carefully, but didn't see anything, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chonggang said: "Your Highness, do you still remember the battle of conquering Mobei more than four years ago?"
Zhu Su said: "Of course I remember, how could I forget this! That time started in our Xuan Mansion. Now His Majesty was in danger, but after escaping from danger, he immediately led his troops to pursue the northward expedition, and finally the whole army was defeated by the Onan River.
Destroyed that Mongolian tribe. But what does this have to do with this arrow?"
Chonggang said: "Your Highness, I still remember that at that time, just before the cavalry of the Huai'an Guard arrived at Your Majesty, the Mongols were about to catch up with Your Majesty, but at that time, several formations suddenly appeared from the woods nearby.
The rain of arrows killed many Mongolian soldiers, allowing His Majesty to successfully rendezvous with the corresponding troops."
"Afterwards, His Majesty told His Majesty and others about the matter, and distributed the arrows that suddenly appeared to everyone to see. I also knew about it, and looked at the arrows carefully. I remember that those arrows at that time were the same as those in front of me.
These hunters’ arrows are the same!”
Zhu Su said with some doubt: "What difference can these arrows make?"
Chonggang replied: "Your Highness, there is something special about those arrows. They are exactly the same as this arrow. I will definitely not mistake them!"
Zhu Su reacted quickly and said immediately: "Then stop them quickly!"
Several guards around him also heard the conversation between Zhu Lu and Chong Gang just now, and immediately rode their horses to chase the hunters who had left.
These hunters were happily discussing with each other: "I was so damn lucky this time. I caught a big white insect in the clip under the cloth and sold it immediately without having to go all the way to the city."
"Yes, we can go back to the village right now. Uncle Chen has been ill for so many days. Let's stew an old hen for him first, and then go down the mountain to ask the doctor to diagnose his pulse and make medicine."
"The doctor before always thought it took too much time to go into the mountains and was unwilling to go there. He said that the time spent on the road was too long and delayed the treatment of other patients. What the hell! Isn't it just because we give less money? Again
When you come up, slap fifty taels of silver on his forehead to see if he has anything to say!"
"Haha! He will probably kneel down on the ground right away. Whatever you say, he will stick his butt out right away even if you ask him to sell it."
"Haha, even if he wants to sell his butt, no, he is giving his butt away for free, I don't want it!"
They were talking happily when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from behind and someone shouting: "Friends, wait a minute!"
They hunters immediately turned around, stood up, and drew their bows. Although they did not draw their daggers, they were also ready for a fight. Could it be that they felt that they spent too much on the white tiger skin and were not happy and wanted to get the money back.
?'Some people think so.
But they definitely wouldn't say that. When Chonggang and others came to a stop less than ten feet away, they breathed a sigh of relief. The hunter at the head asked: "I don't know what else the gentlemen have to do."
?”
Chonggang stamped over and asked: "Four years ago, around October, did anyone appear in Nettle Ridge?"
Hearing Chong Gang's words, several young hunters showed surprised expressions, as if to say: 'How did you know?'
Seeing their expressions, Chonggang became more confident and said without waiting for an answer: "What were you doing in Nettle Ridge at that time? But you shot bursts of arrows to save dozens of people who were being chased by the Mongolian Tatars.
?”
A young hunter said: "How did you know? Those people didn't have you at that time! No, even if you were there at that time, how did you know that it was us at that time?"
Chonggang was now sure that it was their group, he dismounted and said: "It is indeed you!"
"I was indeed not here at the time, but the noble man you rescued told my master about this and showed us the arrows you shot."
These people now showed a look of understanding. However, they had no other reaction. The leader of the hunter just said: "This is just a casual thing, nothing. When the Mongolian Tatars were here, we were abused, so
We will never show mercy to the Mongolian Tatars, and we are not specifically trying to save your noble man."
"Is this all right for you? Then we'll go back. If you're willing to give us some more money, we'll be happy. But if you want us to be housekeepers, we won't do it."
Chonggang looked at them with some confused expressions. They had made a great contribution to rescue the enemy! This was second only to the contribution of helping the country! They actually just wanted a little money! With their merits, it was
Just give them all the mountains, forests or fields in this area!
Well, they didn't know that they were saving the current emperor, but they knew that he must be a noble person. It would be too easy to just ask for money like this.
Chonggang was about to continue speaking when Zhu Su, who had already rushed over, said to them: "Do you know that the person you saved back then was His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
"What!" They were all shocked now, and then looked at each other: 'We actually saved the emperor of Ming Dynasty back then!'
Zhu Su then said: "If you are willing to go to Beijing to receive rewards, this whole place can be rewarded to you, so you don't have to worry about going up to the mountains to hunt in the future..." Zhu Su tried his best to persuade them to go to Beijing to receive rewards.
On the one hand, since Zhu Su has discovered the people who contributed to the rescue, he can't pretend he didn't see it; on the other hand, Zhu Su came to Beijing to ask for something, and if he can bring these people who saved the driver, things should be fine.
More smoothly.
But the leader of the hunter thought for a while and then said: "Then, can you please reward us with all this land? It would be better if you can give us more money. As for going to Beijing to see the driver, we will not go there.
."
Huh? Zhu Su looked at these people dumbfounded. He really wanted to know how their brain circuits were developed: the reward was this piece of wasteland, and the rest was at most a little money and nothing else. He wanted to go to Beijing to see the world.
I don’t want to go, what’s going on? ‘According to Yunxi, the way I went out today was wrong! Or did their heads get kicked by donkeys?’ Zhu Su thought.
But Zhu Su would not give up. He also made his identity clear: "I am His Highness the King of Gu of the Ming Dynasty!" and then continued to persuade them to follow him to Beijing to receive the reward.
But the leader of the hunters kept shaking his head. Some of the younger hunters seemed to have expressions of yearning, but no one dared to speak.
In the end, Zhu Su could only leave disappointed. His repeated persuasion had some effect. But fortunately, Zhu Su finally figured out where they lived. Now that he knew where they lived, he could still send them
I'll continue to persuade you. Even if you really can't persuade me, I can still report it to Your Majesty.' Zhu Su thought.
But he didn't expect that these people who were so determined at the time would go to Prince Gu's Mansion to plead with him two days later.
Zhu Su was very strange at that time, but he still received them and asked: "You came to meet Gu today. Are you willing to follow Gu to the capital to receive the reward?"
When Zhu Su was talking, he noticed that these people were all young people, and he suddenly thought: young people have grown up in the mountains since they were young, and they must be yearning for the outside. It is not surprising that they sneak out and are willing to follow them.
However, Zhu Su knew that he was wrong, because the next moment, the one led by these young hunters, Zhu Su remembered that his name was Chen Lijie, knelt down and said: "Your Highness, we are willing to follow His Highness to Beijing to receive the reward, but we just ask Your Highness
Something.”
"whats the matter?"
"Please, Your Highness, give us rhinoceros horns... these precious medicinal materials."
Rhinoceros horns and the like are very precious medicinal materials, and even Prince Gu's palace doesn't have many of them. Although Zhu Su was willing to take out these medicinal materials, he was also very curious and asked: "Why do you want these medicinal materials?"
Chen Lijie knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness,..."
It turned out that the most famous hunter in their village, Chen Hu, who was 8's biological father, was seriously ill. After calling in a doctor, he found that the doctor's prescription contained some very expensive medicinal herbs that even if you had money, you couldn't buy them now.
But the doctor said bluntly: "Your patient's disease can only be cured by these herbs, and other herbs cannot replace it."
They first looked around for pharmacies to buy it, but none of them had it; some doctors who were doing the trick said they had it, but they were afraid of being cheated, and they couldn't afford to be careless when life was at stake.
After the last round of troubles, someone thought of Zhu Su, the king of the valley: as a prince, he must have these medicinal materials in his hands.
So finally a few of them came to Prince Gu's Mansion to ask for medicinal materials. And everyone in the village agreed that they should go to Beijing to receive the reward.
In fact, the old people in the village have noticed that these young people really want to go to the capital to see the world and see what the capital is like, which is said to be countless times more prosperous than Huai'an City. That's why they, the old guys, can only ask for the valley.
Wang Zhusu agreed that they should go to the capital to receive the reward.
"Just remember to come back after watching it," the old people urged.
Zhu Su had already known a few days ago that the rescue mission was headed by Chen Hu, so he immediately asked the guards in the mansion to find these herbs from the mansion's medicine store and follow them back to the mountain village.
Zhu Su was very happy that he had achieved his goal. He called his chief historian Liu Jing over with a joyful face and said: "Liu Changshi, now I am more sure about what I am requesting from your majesty."
