Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 40
The village where Cao Wei and his son live is called Zhengkan Village. The village is connected in all directions and is interspersed by various narrow paths. However, the two main trunk intersections are one in the north facing the imperial city and the other in the west because there are not many people going to the east. .

Cao Ying hurried towards the north of the village in the darkness.

Beside the road at the exit of the village, there is a wooden house built with thick planks, and two horses are tied to the stakes beside the wooden house.

A month ago, there was no such wooden house in the village, and no one knew when this wooden house appeared, and no one cared, because it was inconspicuous.

Zhu Xiongying rushed to the door of the wooden house, raised his hand and slammed the door hard.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Then there were footsteps inside, and the wooden door was opened.

There were two people standing inside, one of them was the Jinyiwei who had communicated with Cao Ying and sent a message to Zhu Yuanzhang. The difference from that time was that he was not wearing a flying fish suit now, but an ordinary coarse cloth.

This person's name is Hao Han. After delivering the letter that time, he was sent here by Jiang Yu to secretly protect Cao Ying and his son. The other person in the room is Hao Han's companion in Jinyiwei, who has the same duties as him.

In addition to them, there are three Jinyiwei secret posts located in other parts of the village, in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

Through the moonlight, Hao Han could see Cao Ying's face clearly, and when he saw the anxious look on his face, he immediately felt excited.

Before he could open his mouth, Cao Ying said to him eagerly: "Quick! Take me to see Grandpa Huang!"

Hao Han was stunned!

He didn't know Cao Ying's true identity, and was surprised that he didn't know Grandpa Huang at all!
Cao Ying also realized that what she said was not accurate enough, so she quickly added, "Take me to see His Majesty quickly! Quick!"

He almost yelled out loud.

Hao Han was shocked, he realized that he didn't dare to delay at all, and hurried out of the wooden house to lead the horse, "Young Master Cao, get on the horse!"

Although Hao Han didn't know Cao Ying's specific identity, he could see that Jiang Yu attached unprecedented importance to Cao Ying. Although Hao Han was worried about Cao Ying going to see the emperor in the middle of the night, he did not dare to hesitate.

If things go wrong because he delays here for a moment, Hao Han's intuition tells him...the consequences will be very serious!
Hao Han, who had already climbed onto his horse, looked at the dazed Cao Ying below and suddenly understood.

Can't ride a horse...

He leaned over and grabbed Cao Ying's clothes, lifted him up vigorously, and sat in front of him.

Then he whipped the whip in his hand, and the horse neighed and shot out like a sharp sword.

The horse galloped all the way to the entrance of the Imperial City Palace. Hao Han took Cao Ying off his horse and showed the Jinyiwei sign to the guard guarding the palace gate. Then the two were released and continued running...

Royal study.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished handling today's government affairs and was lying on a large and comfortable chair with his eyes closed to relax.

Suddenly there were noisy and rapid footsteps outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Seeing this, the Chief Eunuch's face immediately darkened, and he was about to go out to teach the clumsy people outside a lesson!
But halfway through, he heard an anxious cry from a young man outside:
"Grandfather, it's me. My grandson needs to see you urgently!"

The chief eunuch stopped and looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang.

The moment Zhu Yuanzhang heard the voice, he had already stood up, and he pointed to the door: "What are you still doing, bring us in quickly!"

The chief eunuch nodded repeatedly, quickened his pace, went out and saw a young man and Jin Yiwei, and led them into the imperial study very respectfully and politely.

This young man is probably the emperor's grandson back then.

"Grandfather!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Cao Ying immediately shed tears, rushed forward and knelt down on the ground.

"Grandpa Huang, father...father is missing!"

Cao Ying, who didn't know whether Cao Wei was alive or dead, was feeling the pain of losing his father for the second time. He could no longer bear it...

Zhu Yuanzhang felt heartbroken when he saw his eldest grandson burst into tears, but when he heard what Cao Ying said, he felt puzzled.

Cao Wei?

How did he disappear?

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward to support Cao Ying, "Ying'er, speak slowly, what's going on?"

Cao Ying told everything that happened today in detail.

Cao Wei went out normally in the morning, but didn't come back at night. Cao Ying was worried and went out to look for it, but only found Cao Wei's fishing rod and the unknown stone.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he realized the seriousness and his face turned cold.

In fact, after Cao Ying regained his memory and contacted Zhu Yuanzhang again, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to send many more people to guard Zhengkan Village.

But according to Jiang Wei, Cao Wei's skills were really good. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang accidentally asked about it again, and Jiang Wei's answer greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Wei Chen has no confidence in winning against Cao Wei."

As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Gu's own strength is undoubted. Compared with Lan Yu, a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, he is not proficient in the art of war and is only a step behind in personal martial arts.

Jiang Yu said that he was not sure that he could defeat Cao Wei, which meant that Cao Wei's personal strength was almost the same as that of Lan Yu, and he might be an enemy of a hundred people.

After learning the news, Zhu Yuanzhang was not prepared to arrange too many manpower for security work. Sometimes, the louder the movement, the more suspicious it would be.

Cao Wei and Cao Ying's current status as ordinary people is their best protection.

Besides, Jiangning County belongs to Yingtian Mansion, is close to the imperial city, and stands at the feet of the emperor. The public security has always been very good.

According to modern parlance, that is within the third ring road of the capital. Whenever there is any disturbance, the Imperial Guard will come upon hearing the wind.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Yingtian Mansion will not be able to die happily. No matter how courageous the thieves are, they still have to weigh their own flesh and how many kilograms of stuffing they can make by mincing it into paste.

Moreover, considering Cao Wei's previous poor family background, even a bandit who was full of evil would probably shake his head when he saw it.

In addition, Cao Wei is good at martial arts, so there is no problem at all in protecting Cao Ying at the foot of Yingtian Emperor City.

So Zhu Yuanzhang finally sent less than ten Jinyiwei to Zhengkan Village.

One is to provide insurance for Cao Ying's safety,
Secondly, it is convenient for Cao Ying to contact him,
Then there is the responsibility of reporting the daily happenings in Zhengkan Village to Zhu Yuanzhang the next day.

It can be said that unless Bei Yuan led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight all the way from Mobei to Yingtian Mansion, no one could harm Cao Ying.

But Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that now that nothing happened to Cao Ying, Cao Wei disappeared first!

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed one thing.

As Cao Ying said just now, today Zhu Di went to Cao Wei's house and met Cao Ying...

Zhu Yuanzhang had anticipated this day, but he never thought of interfering. Zhu Di is also Cao Ying's close relative...

However, when it was linked to the disappearance of Cao Wei at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that something was wrong.

He turned his head to look at Jin Yiwei Hao Han, "Have you seen King Yan today? When did he leave the village?"

Hao Han did not dare to hide it, "His Royal Highness Prince Yan entered the village at that time. Soon the monk beside Prince Yan left the village alone and entered the village on Prince Yan's carriage. He has not been seen since."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood.

It was true that Zhu Di took Cao Wei away.

No wonder...

All the preparations he made were to guard against thieves, so how could he stop the majestic King Yan?
"Ying'er, you...your father is fine, don't worry." Zhu Yuanzhang felt confident and comforted Cao Ying.

Cao Ying didn't know the cause of the matter and was a little confused, but he still nodded. He believed in his grandfather!

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the chief eunuch on the side:
"Go, call Jiang Yu over here, hurry up!"

The chief eunuch took the order and left, and Jiang Yu came to the front after a while.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Wei bowed his hands in salute.

"Zhu Di took Cao Wei away. He left from the west side of the village. You and his people should chase him back!"

"promise!"

……

the other side.

On the spacious official road from Yingtian to Peiping, a large-scale carriage was driving.

Due to the huge size of the carriage, even if there are four horses pulling it in front, the speed of the carriage cannot be said to be very fast.

inside the carriage,
Zhu Di and Dao Yan were already resting with their eyes closed.

Lying in the middle was Cao Wei who had been tied up, his head had been simply bandaged.

Amidst the occasional jolting of the carriage, Cao Wei gradually regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

After being confused for a while, I finally remembered the cause and effect of the incident, and I suddenly understood.

Oops!

Zhu Di is the one who wants to get him, not his heart!
But what Cao Wei didn't understand was, why did Zhu Di do this?
There are still four or five days until the end of September, so why is he in such a hurry?
Although we only met twice, based on Cao Wei's understanding of Zhu Di, he is not the kind of impatient person.

While Cao Wei was thinking about it, Zhu Di, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said:
"woke up?"

Cao Wei quickly closed his eyes again.

"There's no point in pretending to sleep, your breathing has changed."

Cao Wei had no choice but to open his eyes again, and under the moonlight coming in from the car window, he saw that Zhu Di was already looking at him fixedly.

He thought about it and said:

"Your Highness, if you do this, even if you get my man, you won't get my heart!"

Zhu Di smiled lightly and did not answer.

Dao Yan, who was sitting on the other side, said, "We can't say what will happen in the future now."

Cao Wei immediately gritted his teeth and turned to look at Dao Yan.

If it hadn't been for the strong binding, Cao Wei would have punched his bald forehead!

It was this bald donkey who secretly attacked!
Cao Wei's head is still aching!

"Benefactor Cao, the poor monk confessed to you about the previous incident. From now on, we will be colleagues, and harmony is the most important thing."

Cao Wei snorted coldly, without saying a word, secretly exerted strength, trying to break free from the rope binding on his body.

"Don't waste your energy, you are tied with twisted knots, and the more you struggle, the tighter it becomes." Zhu Di said.

When Cao Wei heard this, he was discouraged.

The twisted knot is specially used to bind the prisoner, and it is impossible to break free after being tied.

They really think highly of themselves.

Then the three of them stopped talking, and the carriage fell into silence again, only the sound of horseshoes and wheels turning outside could be heard.

In the carriage, especially at night, Cao Wei couldn't feel the passage of time at all.

After an unknown amount of time, he saw white light appearing outside from the car window.

it's dawn...

Stumbling along the way, Cao Wei finally felt drowsy again, and his eyelids became heavier.

At this moment,
I could vaguely hear the sound of rapid horse hooves getting closer and closer outside, as if they were passing over the carriage...

Then Cao Wei felt the carriage gradually stop.

Zhu Di and Dao Yan glanced at each other, their expressions were not very good.

"Your Majesty, on your Majesty's order, we ask Your Majesty to return to Yingtian."

The shouts coming from outside immediately cheered up Cao Wei!
