Chapter 170

In front of Zhu's mansion, the scene of heavy traffic outside the door for the past few days no longer exists. Seeing the deserted outside the door, Chief Manager Hong Bochao shook his head helplessly. It seems that no one will come to give gifts from now on.Zhu Daguan was demoted from Beijing, which seemed to have suddenly broken the balance of factions in the capital.Those who originally followed Xuanzhu felt that they had lost their backing all of a sudden.Without Zhu Tianjiang controlling the third prince Xuan Le, they felt that His Highness Xuan Zhu was no match for Xuan Le at all.

The outside of the mansion is deserted, but the inside of the mansion is another scene.Both Prince Jing and Mrs. Guo quietly came to Zhu Tianjiang's mansion, not only them, but also Yugege, Xuanzhu and others came to Zhu's mansion.

Zhu Tianjiang looked at Prince Jing with a playful smile and said, "My lord, there is a big banquet in the palace to celebrate the queen. You are no longer staying in the palace, why did you come here to eat and drink?"

"Don't you don't know what's good or bad, kid. I'm here to keep an eye on you because I'm afraid that you might hang yourself for a while." Prince Jing scolded with a smile.

"You whipped me several times today, I will remember this account. Yu'er, you have to help me get an explanation later, your father almost whipped me to death today." Zhu Tianjiang blinked at Yugege as he said. .

"It deserves it!" Yugege glared at Zhu Tianxiang angrily. Today is such a good opportunity, but he said he was unwilling.If they hadn't known that Zhu Tianjiang had made a slip of the tongue, their father and daughter would never have spared Zhu Tianjiang tonight.

Zhu Daguan smiled shamelessly, but when he saw Xuan Zhu, his expression became calm.

"You kid didn't intercede for me today. I'm paralyzed. I've put so much effort in vain."

"Tianxiang, my father has no intention of killing people at all, why should I stand up. Tell me the truth, what is going on?" Xuan Zhu looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a look that had already seen through the conspiracy. attitude.

"Hey, you've learned to be smart, can you tell?" Zhu Tianxiang looked at Xuan Zhu strangely. The news of his secret envoy to the Sky Qing Kingdom was tightly sealed, and neither Xuan Zhu nor Xuan Le knew the inside story. .

"Hmph! When the father kills people, he never hides his hands behind his back." Xuanzhu said, glanced at King Jing and Mrs. Guo, and then said, "I think everyone is here to see you off tonight. It doesn't look like being punished and exiled. Heaven, if you still treat me as a friend, don't hide it from me."

Prince Jing looked at his imperial nephew in surprise, Xuanzhu usually looks like a fool with a big face, but he didn't expect to be able to see through this.

Zhu Tianxiang patted Xuan Zhu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I, Zhu Tianxiang, have made great contributions to Dafeng, and your father is still reluctant to dismiss me. I am going to perform a secret mission during this time, so you should be careful in the capital." Just deal with your third brother Xuan Le. That kid is smart and cunning, but don’t wait for me to come and he will already be a prince.”

Hearing this, Prince Jing turned his face, "You little bastard, you don't care about the affairs of the royal family. Dafeng has just been at peace for two days, so don't provoke trouble, you boy."

Xuan Zhu was stunned, "Tianxiang, since you want to leave Beijing secretly, why didn't you call me, we are old partners."

Zhu Tianxiang said in his heart that your father is not willing to let you die. This trip is a hard job for me, and he may have run away in disgrace.

"Xuanzhu, it's a drudgery job this time, you should stay at home. Just know this matter in your own mind, don't tell it." Zhu Tianjiang warned.

"What, is it dangerous?" Xuan Zhu looked at Zhu Tianjiang suspiciously.

Zhu Tianxiang nodded solemnly, Xuanzhu thought that it was a very important task for his father to be able to act in such a play.

"Heaven, no matter what, safety is the most important thing. When you come back, I will catch up with you."

"It's considered that you have a conscience, you will definitely come back, and you will never break your promise." Zhu Tianxiang also said this to Guo Ying and Yu'er.From the tearful eyes of the two, Zhu Tianjiang knew that they were very worried.

After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he began to discuss business matters with Prince Jing.According to the rules of exile, Zhu Tianxiang had to leave Beijing early in the morning in a wooden cage.Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others will wait five miles outside the capital, and then everyone will dress up as a caravan and accompany them northward.As for the officials escorting the prison wagon, Zhu Tianxiang will follow them to Anyuan County.They could not be released back to the capital until Zhu Daguan returned from Tianqing Kingdom.Otherwise, if the news leaks out, the road will be very dangerous.Not only might someone stop him on the way, but he would also be robbed and killed by the Wu tribe when he reached the border of the Tianqing Kingdom.What's more, there is Zhou Yantian, if he knows that Zhu Tianjiang dared to go north to Hukou Pass, it would be strange if he didn't send a large army to chase and kill him.

Prince Jing originally wanted to send the bodyguards of his palace to accompany Zhu Tianjiang as officials, so that he could keep the secret and follow Zhu Tianjiang to the north.But this suggestion was rejected by Zhu Tianxiang on the spot. For such a dangerous itinerary, Zhu Daguan only believed in his own people.No matter how loyal the palace guards are, no one dares to guarantee that there are no spies.It was enough for Zhu Tianjiang to ask King Jing to send some ordinary officials. Anyway, once they arrived in Anyuan County, Zhu Tianjiang would let his own people control them all.

After discussing the plan, Mrs. Guo and King Jing left the Zhu Mansion first, leaving this short time for Guo Ying and Yu'er to say goodbye.After all, going on this trip is not only dangerous, but it will take two months at the fastest to come back.It is even said that if the situation is not good, the time will be longer.King Jing and Mrs. Guo both knew in their hearts that Emperor Chengwu had bet his treasure on Zhu Tianxiang this time, and he had to rely entirely on his personal ability to change the situation in Tianqing Kingdom.

Zhu Tianxiang felt that the night passed quickly, and he was called up by Daniel after a few hours of sleep.Zhu Daguan simply cleaned up, and followed the officials waiting outside the gate to the city gate.Even though it was still dark, there were quite a few people standing at the city gate.Not only Wu Dayin, governor of Pengcheng Mansion, etc., but also the third prince Xuan Le was among them.Zhu Daguan knew that these people were all here to see him off, and he was quite moved.

In front of everyone, King Jing drove Zhu Tianjiang into a wooden prison cart according to the rules of the law.Wu Dayin, Bai Jiguang and others felt sorry for Zhu Tianjiang, they felt that Wang Bingkun and those old officials were all to blame, otherwise the emperor would not have punished him so severely.

Xuan Le walked up to the prison car, sighed and said, "Brother Tianxiang, yesterday my father was angry for a while, you have to endure it for a few days, and Xuan Le will intercede for you in front of my father when I have a chance. I believe it will not be long before Master Zhu will Returned to Beijing."

"Hehe, thank you little prince. In fact, it's not bad to go out to work. You can not only exercise your body, but also experience the suffering of the working people." Zhu Daguan said indifferently.

"Brother Tianxiang has such a generous heart, Xuan Le is relieved."

Zhu Tianxiang clasped his fists together, "My lord, go back. Everyone, please go back. Tianxiang once again thanks everyone for your kindness. If there is a chance in the future, I will invite everyone to drink."

Under the attention of everyone, Zhu Daguan slowly left the capital.The imperial order issued by Emperor Chengwu was to leave the city before dawn, and Prince Jing could not disobey the order.Emperor Cheng Wu didn't do this on purpose to torment Zhu Tianjiang, he didn't want too many people watching outside the city gate, which would be very detrimental to Zhu Tianjiang's safety.Leaving the city at this time, the people have not started to come in and out, so it will not attract people's attention.

Twenty officials from the admiral's mansion followed the prison car cautiously. In their eyes, they did not dare to regard Mr. Zhu as a prisoner. Even if they were demoted and punished by the emperor, Mr. Zhu could still kill them with a word.Because Dafeng's fearless Niu Da guard followed the prison car every step of the way.This Lord Niu even dared to beat King Jing, let alone their petty official.

Five miles outside the capital, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others were already waiting by the roadside.As soon as the two sides converged, the official poor's team began to follow a caravan of up to 500 people less than [-] meters away.Daniu stopped following the prison van, and ran to the back to chat with Zhu Yi and the others.

In a dense forest fifteen miles away from the capital, Xuan Ming, E Bilong and others were anxiously waiting for Zhu Tianjiang's arrival.This is the only place to go north, and after passing here is a plain.If you want to find and ambush again, you have to be hundreds of miles away.E Bilong worried that if the distance was too far, the escort officer would change the way forward, so he could only ambush at this position.Although it is very close to the capital, it is easy to be spotted by passers-by, but it is the best ambush point.

A fast horse galloped over, it was a scout sent by Xuan Ming.The return of the scouts indicated that Zhu Tianxiang's prison car was coming.Ebilong immediately ordered his men to prepare. The heavy bow and crossbow creaked and was pulled away by the two, and three iron-headed arrows were placed on it.

"Your Highness, Zhu Tianjiang's prison car is followed by a caravan. According to visual inspection, there are probably a hundred people." The scout got off his horse and said in front of Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming and E Bilong were stunned, and E Bilong frowned immediately and asked, "What name is the caravan playing? Which bodyguard agency is guarding the team?"

"My lord, the caravan doesn't have a type name, and the escort team uses the banner of the Jingcheng Regiment Training Escort Bureau." The scout said.

When E Bilong heard this, he had never heard of this dart training regiment.One of the two largest bodyguard bureaus in the capital is the Weiyuan bodyguard bureau, and the other is the Lingnan bodyguard bureau that Xuan Le secretly supports.If it is the Lingnan Bodyguard Bureau, then there must be something wrong here.

"Uncle, it's normal for the caravans to follow the officials. You can scare the little thieves with the authority of the officials. But those people are not very strong in combat. As long as they don't target their caravans, the escorts will never dare to take the initiative to cause trouble." Xuan Ming was afraid. Obilong canceled the action and quickly persuaded him.

E Bilong felt that there was a problem here, but seeing Xuan Ming's persistent gaze, it was inconvenient for him to order the cancellation of the operation.Zhu Tianjiang was coming soon, canceling the action at this time would be a great blow to Xuan Ming.E Bilong whispered a few words in Xuanming's ear, and ordered his subordinates to take their positions, ready to shoot Zhu Tianxiang.

On the road, a team of officers listlessly escorted a prison van and walked over slowly.In the prison car, a man was lying on the car board and fell asleep.This kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people. Not only were the prisoners not shackled, but thick brocade quilts were even laid out in the prison car.

Xuan Ming looked nervously at the prison car, his palms were sweating a little, and E Bilong was also staring at the official team.Not far behind the team, people from the caravan also followed slowly.Ebilong visually measured the distance between the caravan and the official post, and he thought it should be a normal caravan.If the two parties were familiar with each other or came here to protect Zhu Tianxiang, they would not have opened such a long distance.In that case, even if you encounter a volley, there will be no time to protect it later.

"Everyone get ready ~ attack!"

Seeing that the team of prison cars had entered the range of the heavy bow and crossbow, Obilong gave the order decisively.

Forty or so riders rushed out of the dense forest with a whimper. The twelve riders in front held heavy bows and crossbows.After shooting, these people threw their bows and crossbows on the ground, drew out their waist knives and prepared to kill those officials.

"Ah~ It's not good, someone robbed and killed Master Zhu~!"

An officer looked at the hedgehog-like prison car that was shot. The man in the prison car was hit by at least seven or eight arrows, and screamed in fright.

Facing a group of 'bandits' rushing over, the officials of the admiral's mansion dared not fight, turned their horses and ran away.After chasing and running, they saw that they were approaching the caravan.

The curtain of a carriage at the front of the caravan was raised, and Zhu Daguan looked at the 'Bandit' who was chasing him, and snorted coldly.

"Huh! I have offended so many people in the capital, so I know some bastards are thinking of good things. Da Niu Xia Qing, don't let one go. I want to see if it's someone sent by the third son Xuan Le!"

Zhu Tianxiang gave an order, and Daniel took the lead to jump out of the convoy holding the iron rod.Among the convoy, fifty fast horses galloped out and howled to follow.
