If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

After a big battle, everyone was killed with great joy, but the prince was lost. This suddenly made all the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard and the deputy commander of the Qingyu Guard anxious.

This deputy commander is newly appointed. Originally, the deputy commander of Qingyu Guard was Zhu Zhankun's deputy general Fan Zhong.However, during the last Northern Expedition, Fan Zhong made great military achievements and was transferred from the Qingyu Guards after being promoted by Zhu Di. This deputy commander was transferred to replace Fan Zhong.

The Jade Guard is now a well-known and powerful force throughout the Ming Dynasty. Being able to be transferred to the Jade Guard is a dream for the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, the Qingyu Guards, as a personal soldier of the prince Zhu Zhanquan, have a lot of room for future development, and the deputy commander is a promising position.

Although the deputy commander has not seen the prince Zhu Zhanquan for most of the time since he arrived, and only received training from the princess with the Qingyu Guards, the deputy commander has already made it clear that he is loyal to the prince. .

This time Zhu Zhanjuan mobilized the Qingyu Guards with the purpose of making great achievements and leaving a good impression in front of the prince.

As a result, the prince is gone now. Isn’t this just a wink for a blind man?
And what's especially important is that now it's a war, and the prince is the coach!Forget it about the Jinyi Guards. As the vassal prince's personal soldiers, their Qingyu Guards ended up losing their own prince. This is simply the most ridiculous and shameful thing.

If we were to investigate afterwards, everyone would lose their head.

This immediately made the deputy commander anxious, and he quickly ordered his men to search for it.

On the Jinyiwei side, several thousand households did not dare to neglect, and mobilized all the manpower they could mobilize to search for traces of Zhu Zhancheng all over the mountains and plains.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanquan was not really missing. When he killed the Japanese evil gods, the noise was loud enough, and some soldiers still saw thunder in the sky.

After a lot of trouble, the Qingyu Guard and the Jinyi Guard finally gathered near the shrine enshrining the entrance of Gao Tianyuan, and saw the Danding floating in the sky and the golden-armored generals surrounding the Danding.

"According to the clues provided by the soldiers, the prince came here before, why is there no trace?" The deputy commander ordered people to search around, but couldn't find him, and he suddenly became anxious.

Several thousand families of the Jinyiwei had no idea at this time. The Jinyiwei were not favored by the emperor because of their appointment as commander. It was the prince's plea to the emperor that gave them the chance to be reorganized. Now the prince, the current commander, has disappeared. , it’s easy for them to lose their heads!
You must know that the Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and their status is different from that of the ordinary army. They are the knives in the emperor's hands that do dirty work.

When they were of use to the emperor, they did not have any taboos. They were not afraid of officials no matter how big they were. They could even be locked up in the imperial prison and tortured if they invited the emperor to serve.

The commander of the Jinyiwei who was Zheshe in later generations could really "want an imperial edict? Write him one."

But correspondingly, once the Jinyiwei are useless in the eyes of the emperor, their end will usually be very miserable.

No matter how extravagant your command was before, not only would you die, but you might even bring trouble to the nine tribes.

So they were really anxious this time. They broke into the shrine, searched, and caught a few shrine priests who were lucky enough to survive. He confessed everything about spying on the miko taking a bath at night.

From the confessions of these priests, they learned that there were golden-armored generals who fought with the gods before, and there were also people who got into the cauldron after being struck by lightning. "Someone got into the cauldron...could it be the prince?" The deputy commander looked at the several thousand households in Jinyiwei and asked them.

"There is a possibility that these golden-armored generals look like the work of the prince. A few years ago, I was still serving in Beijing. That time His Highness the King of Han intended to lead troops into the city. It was also the prince who summoned two golden statues that were taller than the city wall. The golden armored general was the only one who scared His Highness the King of Han." Among the thousands of Jin Yiwei, some of them had experienced Zhu Zhanquan's blocking the King of Han from entering the city, so they naturally remembered Zhu Zhanquan's ability to summon the golden armored general.

Hearing what this Qianhu said, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the alchemy cauldron floating in the air.

"Okay, why did the prince get into the cauldron?" The deputy commander felt a little confused, and then made a random guess: "Could it be that the prince was struck by lightning before and was injured and wanted to heal in this cauldron?"

"Ah? What should we do? If the prince is injured, it will be a big deal! I need to send the news back to the palace quickly and ask the princess to come down!" After hearing the deputy commander's random guess, several Jinyi guards Qianhu The expression on his face suddenly fell into panic.

One of the jobs of the Jin Yiwei was to stay in the imperial palace, so they were naturally particularly concerned about Zhu Zhanchun's safety.

At this point, they even showed more concern than the Qingyu Guard.

After all, the Jade Guards are still soldiers after all. In their view, injuries in battle are commonplace. If the prince is noble, they will risk their lives to protect him. As for the prince being injured, what they have to do besides treating him is to avenge him.

As for the rest, they couldn't even think about it.

And unlike ordinary soldiers, a large part of the Qingyu Guards are the sons of nobles. They now also have titles and military merits, and their way of thinking about problems is naturally different from that of the Jinyi Guards.

That is to say, the deputy commander was newly transferred, and the matter was related to his own vital interests, so he lost his bearings.

However, the random discussion of these Jinyi Guards Qianhu made him react and said to the others: "No matter whether the prince is injured or not, such a big thing happened here, and it should have been reported to the court! The prince is not here, and the few of us Let’s jointly submit a letter to report this matter to the palace first and ask the Crown Princess and Princess to come up with an idea!”

In the opinion of the commander, the prince may not have been injured, but such a big thing happened here, so it should be reported to the court first. As for other things, there are still the crown prince and princess at the palace. There is no shortage of people who can make decisions.

As for taking the responsibility yourself and then making an idea?This kind of thing is neither something he can afford nor is he qualified to make decisions about.

After hearing what the deputy commander said, several thousand members of Jinyiwei looked at each other and felt that although this idea was not great, at least it was not a bad idea.

So after discussing the wording, they jointly wrote a battle report and sent someone back to the palace in Fugang overnight.

As for themselves, they occupied the shrine and allowed the men of the Qingyu Guards and Jinyi Guards to continue cleaning the battlefield and hunting down the evil gods. At the same time, they gathered more people around the shrine to guard the alchemy cauldron containing Zhu Zhanchun. (End of chapter)
