Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 74
The night was cold, and Lao Zhu didn't even bother to light a lamp.Seeing that Muying's expression was different, Lao Zhu immediately knew that something was wrong, so he sent Zhu Xi, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Di to send his elder brother Zhu Biao back to rest, so that he could have a secret talk with Mu Ying alone.

"Ying'er." Seeing that the rest of the people had gone down, Old Zhu asked. "What's the situation?"

"Father, it's like this." Mu Ying cupped her hands. "In the past, His Royal Highness and I intercepted the news, and we had already intercepted the thief by the Yangtze River."

"But that group of thieves are obviously not idle people. One of them was a warrior who risked his life. He also knocked the prince into the river when the prince was not prepared!"

"Warrior?" Old Zhu frowned slightly. "You and Biao'er are leading dozens of elite members of the Governor's Mansion. With their protection, even in the enemy's camp, you can rush back and forth a few times."

"Is this person really so powerful? How is it compared to Yuchun?"

"Although General Wuchang is brave, there are four out of ten." Mu Ying said.

Mu Ying herself is also extraordinary in martial arts, to be praised by him as a warrior must be one of the best in the world.

However, there is no reason why a person with this level of skill is like a tiger mixed with sheep among all living beings, and a bright moon hangs among the sea of ​​stars.

Even if he is only half as brave as the late Chang Yuchun, he is already a great man!

Moreover, he dared to kidnap the prince of Ming Dynasty and offend the court of Ming Dynasty...

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened already.

Apart from the remnants of his old opponents, who else can make such a hero?
"It seems that in the past few years, the slaughter was not clean enough. There are still many ghosts and monsters in the territory of Daming." Old Zhu said gloomyly.

"The arch guard...it's time for a change."

Mu Ying lowered her head.As the captain of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he already knew before that Lao Zhu planned to give more powers to the Imperial Guard Division and make it into a person similar to Qin's Black Ice Terrace and Tang's Bad People, or even worse. institutions, and thus control the entire territory of Ming Dynasty.

It's just because everything is complicated and complicated, so I can't get started.

With such a series of major events happening in the imperial capital today, the emperor should be dissatisfied with the various divisions and ministries.

Next, the Arch Guard Division reappeared as the emperor's minion, and there was no way to stop him.

"Since Biao'er fell into the water, why did Su'er become like that?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"You didn't stop the thief and let him hurt Biao'er. It's a serious crime. Don't tell us that after the thief hurt Biao'er, you still didn't stop him and let him hurt Su'er again!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ying broke out in cold sweat, and immediately rolled down from the chair and knelt on the ground: "I failed to protect His Highness the Crown Prince, but I will die!"

"It's just... Brother Su, he jumped into the river by himself..."

"You jumped in by yourself?" Old Zhu was startled, with a puzzled look on his face. "How could it be? Could it be that Su'er has lost his mind and lost his mind?"

"Brother Su... probably wants to save His Highness the Crown Prince." Mu Ying said. "However, my son feels a little strange."

"At that time, although His Royal Highness fell into the water, the river was not cold and rushing in July, and the water where he fell was not deep. What's more, at that time, one of His Highness's hands had already climbed onto a branch on the bank."

"When I saw it, it was Dading, and even His Royal Highness could not stop shouting. Because we are all wearing armor and cannot float in the water, this minister wanted to take off his armor and go into the water to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince."

"But for some reason, Brother Su seemed to have thought of something suddenly, his face turned blue suddenly, as if seeing a ghost, and then he plunged into the water, trying to pull His Royal Highness up."

"But at that time, he was tied up for a long time, and he was bumped all the way... Instead, he lost his strength and became like that!"

During Mu Ying's narration, Lao Zhu frowned deeply.After he finished speaking, Lao Zhu thought for a long time, and then he opened his mouth half-believingly and said: "You said, Su'er suddenly thought of something, and then went into the water to rescue Bao'er?"

"Yes." Mu Ying nodded. "My son has been paying attention to Brother Su. At first, he just looked worried, but in a flash, his face suddenly changed..."

"You asked my son to pay attention to Sudi's abnormalities on weekdays, so my son can see clearly!"

Lao Zhu stood up and had a very bad guess in his mind.He walked a few steps under the moonlight, then turned his head abruptly: "Ying'er, what do you think, what did the fifth child think of at that time?"

"Erchen...don't dare to guess." Mu Ying still knelt on one knee, with her head down, unable to see her expression clearly.

Lao Zhu took a few more steps, his steps becoming more and more fidgety.

"You don't dare to guess...you want us to guess!"

"You just said that Biao'er is clearly fine, but the fifth child is suddenly extremely nervous and concerned."

"Even, even forgetting my own situation, I have to dive into the water to save..."

"Lao Wu is a time traveler from later generations. According to him, he is familiar with all the history of my Ming Dynasty's later generations..."

"...Could it be..."

He stopped abruptly, with an inexplicably horrified look on his face.

"Could it be that he thought of Biao'er...will die because of it?"

Mu Ying didn't answer, but still lowered her head deeply.

Old Zhu trembled all over, and immediately wanted to see Zhu Biao, but Mu Ying suddenly said, "Father, don't worry, I've already checked the pulse for His Royal Highness."

"The cold air has not yet entered the body, so it only needs to be raised for a few days, and it will be safe."

"Huh? Then, how could Lao Wu..."

The foot that Lao Zhu raised stopped again.After thinking about it for a while, his face turned pale again.

"Could it be... water?"

In history, did Biaoer die by falling into the water?

It must be so!Otherwise, the river water, which is not deep and cold at all, would make the old five who had always been aware of things turn pale with fright, and desperately rescue him?
"Father, please forgive my son for talking too much." Just when Lao Zhu was in doubt, Mu Ying spoke. "Since Brother Su is a time traveler, didn't foster father ask about the life and death of the family members?"

"This..." Lao Zhu's expression was not hesitant. "We were suspicious of the identity of the fifth child before. If he is a monster, he will definitely confuse us with matters of death, life, and future generations."

"This kind of demon way has been seen more and more in the past. It is always difficult to distinguish the truth from what he said."

"Even if it's us, if he deliberately seduces, I'm afraid there will be pimples in his heart. What's more, he always said how rebellious the king of later generations is. Do you know whether he wants us to have the heart of waste reserve first, so that he can steal the big position?" ?”

"Since we have asked, it is better not to ask, so let's not ask at all. We only need to wait for the facts to become clear first."

"Rong Boy, say one more thing." Hearing this, Mu Ying immediately took a few steps on her knees, her face full of grievances for Zhu Su, she kowtowed vigorously and said, "Fifth brother is willing to protect His Highness the Crown Prince with his own body regardless of his own safety, brother Family love can be shown to the world, and it will definitely not be some kind of monster that disrupts the country!"

"My child is bold, I ask my adoptive father to believe it with my confidantes! The fifth younger brother not only knows the past and the past hundred years, but also has a strategy in his chest, which is rare in the world!"

"If the fifth brother is lucky enough to be able to recover, I would like to ask my adoptive father, don't be suspicious of him! If... If it is my biological parents and brothers, I will guard against him like a demon. The heart of the fifth brother is like a child, and I will be hurt by you." Tou, never open your heart again!"

"He dares to tell you his biggest secret because he trusts you from the bottom of his heart, and trusts you, the biological father, to be his biggest reliance for a different kind in this world!"

Mu Ying said loudly.He thought of that little figure five years ago, when his brothers were running and playing, he climbed up to the roof alone and stared blankly at the clouds and clouds in the sky.

From the eyes of the child at that time, no attachment to the world in front of him could be seen at all.

Just like, an orphan who wanted to die...

……

Mu Ying's words meant that Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who was supposed to be as hard-hearted as a stone, took a few steps back.

Lao Zhu, who had always been careless, suddenly remembered at this moment, the look of loneliness and loneliness that occasionally appeared on the immature face of his own little Wu'er since he recovered from his illness five years ago... A traveler from a later life, awakened How could the space-time traveler with Su Hui, the greatest alien in the world, not be afraid, not alone, or feel a heavy burden on his heart when he dreamed back in the middle of the night?

That day in the East Pavilion, when Lao Wu claimed that he was a time traveler, he looked carefree and at ease.At that time, Lao Zhu only felt that this son was not dignified and embarrassed.

Thinking about it again at this time, the old fifth's behavior at that time was not because the heavy secret that had been carried for five years was finally unloaded from his shoulders; because he had his father as his reliance, he felt relieved; Tell the secrets of those hearts, and no longer be alone...

"We...we..." Thinking of how wary he was of Lao Wu, and letting Biao'er and Ying'er watch him and find his cheating feet, Lao Zhu felt very nervous.

"Besides, adoptive father, I still think of something else." Mu Ying raised her head, the expression on her face was under the moonlight, with a strange horror. "Since Brother Su recovered from his illness five years ago, he has been very concerned about the body of his godmother. When he sees her doing some heavy work, he gets angry at every turn."

"When I left the palace earlier, I even told my brothers and sisters to take care of the godmother in every possible way, and not to make the godmother overworked."

"Before my son, I only thought that Brother Su was benevolent and filial. But now that I think about it, could this be..."

Mu Ying didn't continue talking, but Lao Zhu had already reacted.His mind suddenly fell into a great panic.

"You mean...it's because..."

"Old Fifth... he knew in advance... our sister..."

"will die??"

Above Yingtianhuang City, an incomparably huge cloud covered the supposedly bright moonlight.
