the next day.

morning.

Inside and outside Xinguan, drums were beating loudly, and the sound was like thunder. As soon as the drums fell, cavalry rushed out, their horses' hooves stepped on the ground, raising smoke and dust all over the sky, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

After the cavalry was assembled, the infantry followed.

The military exercise has officially begun.

Zhu Gui personally went out, took command, and led the army in drills. The whole army was like a rainbow, and the momentum was huge. The military appearance was still very good-looking, the discipline was strict, and orders and prohibitions were strictly enforced. Zhu Xuan felt a rush of blood when he saw it.

The soldiers in the army rush to kill, the bombing of firearms, etc.

All contents were rehearsed in the army.

The sound of shouting to kill can be heard in the sky.

The sound of firearms exploding shook the heavens and the earth.

When a military exercise came to an end, Zhu Xuan said in admiration: "Uncle Twelve is really powerful. His subordinates are all elite soldiers. The men in the army are all elites of our Ming Dynasty. Good!"

The most sensitive thing for the vassal prince is to show his military power and military strength in front of the future prince.

Now Zhu Xuan asked for this, and Zhu Gui had to agree.

It didn't seem good to make the military appearance a little worse. If he did it too well, he was worried about being suspected. In the end, he decided to go all out and practice in the best condition, regardless of what Zhu Xuan thought.

If Zhu Xuan feels unhappy with himself because of this.

Zhu Gui had no choice but to say that Zhu Xuan's pattern was too small.

However, Zhu Xuan was not unhappy and said proudly: "Hou Xian, record it and arrange for people to prepare 10,000 kilograms of meat and send it to the north to reward the whole army. Uncle Nineteen will also prepare a portion, as well as the Hetao Yes, all of them.”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Gui and Zhu Su said in unison.

Although they didn't quite understand what Zhu Xuan was going to do, they should be extremely grateful for the reward.

Zhu Xuan said: "You're welcome, please get up!"

After a pause, he looked to the west and said: "I will stay here for a few more days. If you have anything, just come to me and I will try my best to help you."

"Yes!"

they said in unison.

After the military exercise, Zhu Xuan returned to the border town. He really stayed here and did not leave immediately, which gave people the feeling that he was indeed here to patrol the border.

Lei Gang has been sent out, and now only Yan Guan is left with Zhu Xuan.

"Have someone tell Ping An and come out to pick me up in advance."

Zhu Xuan said.

Yan Guan got the order and quickly sent people to the Hetao.

There is no telegraph here, so you have to actually travel on foot, or at most on a fast horse.

The people of Jinyiwei are setting off now, and they must take action before Zhu Xuan.

The day after the military exercise.

Zhu Gui and Zhu Su both came over and asked, "Excuse me, do you need us to follow Your Highness when he goes to the Loop?"

Do you want them to follow?

Zhu Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, but I still ask Uncle Nineteen to stay in Datong. When I come back from inspecting the border troops in Hetao, I will come back to Datong. There are some things I want to talk to you about then. "

"it is good!"

Zhu Su was confused and didn't know what Zhu Xuan wanted to say to him.

Now that Zhu Xuan has spoken, he can't refuse. He can only agree. Zhu Gui is still his biological brother, and there will be nothing wrong with him staying in Datong. "Is there anything else?"

Zhu Xuan asked them.

Zhu Gui and Zhu Su said in unison: "No more!"

So, they left.

After seeing them off, Zhu Xuan continued to wait in the small border town. After another three days, he was ready to leave for the Hetao.

Zhu Xuan did not plan to cross Luliang Mountain, but led his soldiers to go north along Luliang Mountain, preparing to go around the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and then cross the Yellow River southward.

Considering safety issues, Zhu Gui also arranged for a thousand people to be given to Zhu Xuan. These thousand people were very handy and knew how to build pontoons, rafts and other things for crossing the river. They followed him northward and walked for a long time before finally arriving at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain. .

This is a plain formed by the impact of the Yellow River, with rich water and grass. In the past, it was a place robbed by foreign barbarians.

Now this place is controlled by the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Xuan arrived, many herdsmen could still be seen grazing. They were either herdsmen from the Ming Dynasty or herdsmen from Monan who had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. When they saw the Ming army troops appearing, they just looked up. .

This is a border area, and Ming troops can be seen patrolling everywhere.

They have long been used to it, and Zhu Xuan's appearance will not disturb their grazing or anything.

"But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and I don't teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains."

After traveling through time for so many years, Zhu Xuan had the opportunity to come to this place for the first time and see what Yinshan Mountain was like.

In frontier poems, this place appears quite frequently.

Now, looking at the magnificence of the Yinshan Mountains and the scenery of the grassland, it feels quite good and makes me feel a little excited.

"Your Highness, what a poem."

Hou Xian said flatteringly from the side.

Zhu Xuan said: "I didn't write it, but of course it is a good poem. Can Wang Changling's poems be bad?"

Hou Xian continued to flatter him and said, "I don't know the characters, so I don't know whose poem it is. But if His Highness recited it, it must be a good poem. It's so good."

As a eunuch next to the monarch, flattering is a basic skill. If you don't flatter the master, if the master is in a bad mood, you will be the unlucky one. Hou Xian also uses this basic skill very well, and he knows how good he is at flattering.

"okay."

Zhu Xuan told him not to brag and said: "Keep on going. It won't be possible to cross the river before nightfall. Find a place to camp and rest, but be careful not to disturb the herdsmen."

Yan Guan and the others took the order and went down quickly to make arrangements.

Zhu Xuan and the others drove for a while until it got dark, then they set up camp to rest.

The herdsmen grazing on the pastures all went home at this time, and they still didn't care so much about the Ming army, which they were so familiar with.

"have a rest!"

Zhu Xuan added: "If we cross the river tomorrow, Ping An will be waiting for us on the shore. Maybe early tomorrow morning, he will take the initiative to help us cross the river."

The Jinyiwei moved very quickly, and it didn't take long for the camp to be set up.

Zhu Xuan went in to rest first.

What they didn't know was that a group of people dressed as horse thieves came near Yinshan Mountain. They were all foreigners, with blue eyes and curly hair. Their appearance was obviously different from that of the Tatars. More of a Western race.

Not Tatar, but Wala.

These Wala people were arranged by Han Jun to assassinate Zhu Xuan.

They have been paying attention to Zhu Xuan's movements, always paying attention to Zhu Xuan's actions, and have followed him here.

These people did not dare to use their official status to kill Zhu Xuan. Instead, they dressed themselves as horse thieves. There were thieves everywhere on the grassland, among which horse thieves were the most numerous. They came and went like the wind, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

Zhu Xuan's death at the hands of horse thieves seems to be a normal thing. (End of chapter)
