Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Chapter 12 Who do you think you are, Lan Yu? Are you worthy enough to touch my brother?

Lan Yu was Zhu Biao's man. In his eyes, any prince was a potential enemy of Zhu Biao.

Zhu Kai...is no exception.

Zhu Kai was not there. He was recuperating from his injuries after being beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang. When he heard that Zhu Di had fainted after being trained by Lan Yu, he went to Zhu Di's palace to visit him.

Zhu Di's biological mother's surname was Han. She was a woman who was a tribute from Goryeo. Later, she gave birth to Zhu Di and was named Gong Fei by Zhu Yuanzhang.

This was not the first time Zhu Kai came to see Zhu Di, so he was familiar with the place.

When he saw Concubine Han Yu, he greeted her, "Aunt Han, I'm here to see my fifth brother."

Concubine Han Yu was a tribute concubine. She had no one to rely on in the palace, so she was a little timid and afraid of things. She was particularly respectful to everyone she met. When Zhu Kai called her "Auntie", she felt flattered, but she also greeted Zhu Kai very respectfully: "Your Highness, the Second Prince."

Zhu Kai didn't like Concubine Han's timidity, but he didn't say anything. He went directly to the back hall to find Zhu Di. Zhu Di was very excited to see Zhu Kai.

"Brother! Are you okay?"

Zhu Di jumped up from the bed and said to Zhu Kai, "Second brother, Lan Yu bullied my brothers because he saw that you were not here. My sixth brother is weak to begin with, and now he can't even stand up because of Lan Yu's scolding."

The sixth brother, Zhu Su, was also born to Concubine Han Yu. They were real brothers. Zhu Di would feed him meat and take him to exercise on weekdays.

But no matter how much he ate or how much he exercised, Zhu Su wouldn't gain weight, so Zhu Di had no choice but to give up.

Zhu Di angrily complained to Zhu Kai, from being punished for stepping his left foot into the military camp to being punished for not having perseverance... Zhu Di exaggerated all the evil deeds Lan Yu did in training the princes in the Imperial City Parade Grounds and told Zhu Kai: "Second brother, third brother and fourth brother were also injured. When they saw Lan Yu bullying Zhu Su, they stepped forward to argue but were beaten by Lan Yu's personal soldiers. They didn't want to admit defeat in front of Lan Yu, so they gritted their teeth and went to the parade grounds to participate in the training today."

From the first time Zhu Kai met Lan Yu, the two of them had never gotten along, and now... it was still the same: "Lan Yu is a bully who only cares about the weak and the strong. If he doesn't kowtow to me when I go to the training ground, I will chop him alive!"

The place where Zhu Kai was beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang had almost healed. Hearing that Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang were bullied by Lan Yu, Zhu Kai felt that his territory was being invaded.

Only I can teach my brother a lesson. Who do you think you are, Lan Yu? Are you worthy of touching my brother?

Looking at Zhu Di lying on the bed, Zhu Kai asked directly: "Fifth brother, are you okay? Come with me to find Lan Yu."

"It's okay, nothing happened!"

Hearing that Zhu Kai was going to look for Lan Yu, Zhu Di jumped up from the bed, patted his chest to show that he was as strong as a bull, and said: "Zhu Di swears to follow my second brother until death!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhu Kai did what he said and took Zhu Di straight to the training ground.

……

At this time, brothers Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, Zhu Su, Zhu Zhen and others were punished to stand under the scorching sun, while Lan Yu hid under a tree to cool off, with a captain of his personal guards standing beside him to serve him, while other personal guards were doing some simple training in other places on the parade ground.

When Lan Yu's mouth was dry, he reached out to grab a piece of watermelon. After eating it, he threw the rind to Zhu Su and said, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, your legs must not tremble, or you will have to continue to practice for another half an hour!"

"Sapphire!"

Zhu Chong stared at Lan Yu, his eyes revealing murderous intent!
As if he wanted to eat Lan Yu alive, he said, "Sixth brother is a student. He is weak and cannot stand this kind of training. Don't go too far!"

"The Third Prince did not abide by the military rules. Everyone will be punished. One more hour will be added!"

Lan Yu said lazily, then drank a cup of cold tea, and said lazily: "Third Prince, His Majesty ordered me to train you, but he didn't say who can't train. In this case, you all have to work hard. The emperor's order is hard to disobey!"

Zhu Gang cursed directly: "Fuck you! Lan Yu, do you have any guts? Come with me to see the emperor?"

"Haha, you want to see His Majesty if you can't stand the suffering?"

Lan Yu didn't listen at all: "I am your martial arts teacher, you must follow my rules, practice a hundred times in peacetime, and shed less blood in battle. If you don't agree, then come and fight me. If you can beat me, you can come and go in my training ground at will!"

"Otherwise, just keep practicing here!"

"Go to His Majesty? You can, but His Majesty is also a military man. The hardships he suffered back then were thousands of times more than what he is going through now. Do you think His Majesty will believe you if you go and complain?"

Lan Yu scolded the princes harshly, which made them increasingly angry, especially Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, who clenched their fists in anger and stared at Lan Yu.

They knew that Lan Yu did this not simply to train them, but out of ulterior motives.

You are the prince's man, right? Haha!

If Big Brother knew what you did to us, he would not forgive you!

It seems that Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang will not be able to endure it for much longer and they will go to fight Lan Yu to the death.

When Zhu Kai and Zhu Di arrived at the parade ground, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang had already been knocked to the ground by Lan Yu, who was teaching them a lesson: "Humph! You have little ability but a big temper. If you were in my army, I would have hung you on the gate of the barracks as a warning to everyone!"

Zhu Di was young and had a bad temper. When he saw Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang getting up and being knocked down by Lan Yu again, his eyes immediately turned red and he shouted at Lan Yu, "Lan Yu, stop bullying my third brother! Fourth brother!"

As he shouted, he had already rushed over and slammed into Lan Yu with all his strength.

"Zhu Kai!"

Lan Yu ignored Zhu Di and instead looked at Zhu Kai, who was like a bear.

snort!
A sneer appeared on Lan Yu's face. I've waited for so long, and finally you've come!

Zhu Di rushed over, but was easily avoided by Lan Yu.

Then he kicked Zhu Di in the stomach, sending him flying five steps away and falling to the ground.

"Fifth brother!"

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang immediately rushed towards Zhu Di, and as for revenge for Zhu Di...

As long as Zhu Kai is around, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang don't need to worry.

Although Zhu Kai often bullies them, they trust Zhu Kai very much.

Second brother, I will never forgive Lan Yu!

Lan Yu looked up at Zhu Kai, and Zhu Kai walked forward.

He stopped five steps away from Lan Yu, looked at Lan Yu, who was a head shorter than him, with disdain, and said condescendingly: "Lan Yu, do you recognize me?"

"do not know!"

Lan Yu's face darkened, and he looked at Zhu Kai stiffly: "This is a military training ground. There are only soldiers here, not princes!"

"And he knows that I'm a prince. It seems like he knows me."

Zhu Kai didn't take Lan Yu's momentum seriously at all, and said, "Three years ago, you lost to me in a strength contest. At that time, we agreed that when you saw me, you had to kneel down and shout "Second Prince", otherwise you would be a worthless woman. How come... Miss Lan is preparing to be a woman?"

"..."

Lan Yu's face turned dark.

He was a rising star in the army in his thirties, but he lost to a fifteen-year-old boy. This was the shame of his life.

Miss Lan's nickname has spread throughout the army, and these four words have become Lan Yu's Achilles' heel.

But, I can’t be timid now!
"I told you, this is a military camp, and I am the commander! You all must obey my orders!"

Lan Yu gritted her teeth and looked at Zhu Kai: "If you don't agree, you can get out of the barracks and I will report to His Majesty!"

"I haven't mentioned anyone yet, but you mentioned them first. Miss Lan is really a useless woman."

Zhu Kai kept talking about Miss Lan. He pouted and looked at Lan Yu: "I wonder if Miss Lan can get married? When you sleep with your husband, does your beard prick people? If you don't want to get married, I have a dog named Lan Yu, which is very suitable for you! Lan Yu and dog, forever!"

"Hahahaha!"

The princes behind him laughed when they heard Zhu Kai's criticism of Lan Yu, which was more enlightening than eating iced watermelon in the dog days of summer.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Tan also had smiles on their dark faces, and their smiles were very bright.

They were very relieved. As long as the second brother was there, Lan Yu would be a useless Miss Lan!
Zhu Di was kicked by Lan Yu and grimaced in pain, but he did not forget to cheer for Zhu Kai: "Second brother, well said! Miss Lan, I also have two dogs, named Xun and Xun, which one do you choose?"
