Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 38
"You have to watch out for King Yan!"

Zhu Xiongying heard these words clearly.He could hear it, and Chang Mao and Li Jinglong must have heard it too.

But the faces of those two didn't change at all, as if they didn't hear it.

Taking advantage of Zhu Biao's inattention, Zhu Xiongying took a few steps forward and pricked up his ears.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Biao said displeased.

Lan Yu continued to whisper, "I fought in Liaodong a few years ago, and King Yan's subordinates were in charge of the capital of Liaodong, and the management was like an iron bucket. All soldiers must be approved by the King of Yan. In Liaodong, the temperate generals only listened to the words of King Yan!"

"Besides, in my opinion, King Yan's plans are not small, and I'm afraid in the future."

"He is the King Sai of Daming, so he must speak his mind at the border!" Zhu Biao smiled lightly, "It's okay for you to talk to Gu about these things, don't spread them around. Otherwise, you will be ashamed and I will protect you alone! "

"I'm just talking to Your Highness!" Lan Yu laughed, "Your Highness has a kind heart, and you must be on guard against others. Your Highness should be aware of it!"

"He knows better than anyone else!" Zhu Yingxiong thought to himself after hearing the conversation between the two.

It has been 15 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the founding veterans are getting old, while Lan Yu and others are new leaders in the army.With the deliberate support of Prince Zhu Biao and Chang Yuchun's old friendship in the army, the future is limitless.

The reason why Zhu Biao supports him is probably because he doesn't want to see him again. The army is full of old military meritorious princes from the Huaixi Xungui Group, and the family dominates.

And Lan Yu also lived up to Zhu Biao's support, and made great achievements in the future, with countless military exploits.

It's just a pity that this eternally famous general will be suspected by the emperor in the future.In order to protect the throne of his grandson, he was slaughtered together with countless veteran generals in the army.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying felt a little sad.But then he was relieved, because of him in this life, he will keep all these heroes and famous generals safe.

At this moment, a group of cavalry came on horseback. Surrounded by guards, Zhu Di was wearing a close-fitting hunting suit with a waist, looking very heroic.

Zhu Xiongying noticed that among Zhu Di's personal guards, many of them were barbarians with braids, and their expressions were rebellious.

"My younger brother has seen my elder brother!" Yan Wang Zhu Di got off his horse and saluted.

"It's not in the court, so there's no need to be too polite!" Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Why aren't you in the palace, talking with the queen?"

"It's been a few days without horse racing and archery, it's hard to be idle!" Zhu Di laughed.

"Sir, I have met the King of Yan!" Lan Yu performed a military salute, not a salute of prostration.

"Oh?" Zhu Di said indifferently, "The Marquis of Yongchang is also here!" He said with a smile again, "In the battle in Yunnan, I heard that the Marquis of Yongchang led [-] cavalry, galloped thousands of miles, and copied the retreat of King Yuanliang. With an army of tens of thousands, the Marquis of Yongchang is known as the bravest in the army!"

"Don't dare!" Sapphire cupped her hands and said, "A little credit is nothing!"

Zhu Di pursed his lips and said, "How can this be considered a minor achievement?" He laughed loudly as he spoke, "However, from my king's point of view, the soldiers and horses under King Yuanliang's command are not very elite. If you are facing Beiyuan's The grassland cavalry of the headquarters, I'm afraid they won't be able to please!"

"What about the Northern Yuan cavalry?" Lan Yu sneered, "It seems to me that it's just a bid to sell Seoul!"

Two sentences from both sides are full of gunpowder.

"It's not like I haven't fought against the Tartars before!" Lan Yu continued, "When Wei Guogong and Ying Guogong conquered Mobei, I was the vanguard many times, and I didn't lose a single hair!" Then he suddenly smiled, "Say What are you doing, King Yan Qiansui was still a child when I went on an expedition!"

"You" Zhu Di was furious, his eyes spit fire.

"You bastard!" Zhu Biao scolded Lan Yu, "Is there anyone who talks to King Yan like this? Are you arrogant because of your merits? This is the case now. If you have more credits in the future, won't you Don’t even pay attention to Gu? Hurry up and apologize to King Yan!”

When Zhu Biao spoke, Lan Yu listened solemnly.

He didn't distinguish between them, he was like two people just now, bowed and said, "I'm a rough man, but I'm straight-hearted, Qiantui forgive me!"

Zhu Di smiled, "This king is not a man with a small belly!" Then he looked at Lan Yu, "You are right, when you went to the expedition, this king was still young. However, the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and now I The king is in charge of Liaodong, and the Tartars are also fighting with real swords and guns."

"Among the younger brothers, the fourth younger brother is the bravest!" Zhu Biao nodded.

Zhu Di smiled proudly again, squinting at Lan Yu, "I've heard that the Marquis of Yongchang is Wushuang in bow and horse, how dare you compete with this king!" He said with a smile, "It doesn't count that you are the one below!"

"I learned the skills of fighting in battle. If I can't hold back and hurt you, I can't bear it!" Lan Yu was neither cold nor hot.

"Oh, if that's the case, then how do you compare with the warriors under my command?" Zhu Di asked again.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Di's personal guards and narrowed her eyes, "I am a general of the imperial court, and even the Marquis of Ming Dynasty. How can a lowly barbarian compare to me?"

"Look, you are narrow-minded!" Zhu Di laughed and said, "Just now you beat me so hard, and I didn't get angry!" Zhu Di said to Zhu Biao, "Brother, do you think so?"

Zhu Xiongying has been watching with cold eyes, Lan Yu's words are thorny, Zhu Di is also a fuel-efficient lamp, Zhu Biao is smiling and silent, and only speaks to control when the sparks of the two sides collide.

"Fourth brother's words are wrong!" Zhu Biao said, "Lan Yu is not only a fierce general, but also a handsome talent. Personal bravery is second, and military strategy is the first. Isn't it a child's play to compete in martial arts?"

Zhu Di took off the gauze crown, revealing the scar on his forehead, "Brother is not entirely right, if you can't take the bow and arrow in the battle and lead the army to kill, what kind of talent is it?"

"Okay, let's compare!" Lan Yu suddenly said, "Since the king of Yan wants to see the ability of the minister, the minister is hiding it, as if he doesn't know how to flatter him." She said with a smile, "I just don't know the king of Yan. You, how do you want to compare?"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, "You are the favorite general of your elder brother, and you will lose face if you hurt your elder brother. Let me see it this way, let's compete." Then, pointing to his own guard, he said, "It's like riding and shooting!"

Speaking of this, he shouted to a barbarian in the personal guard, "Timur come out!"

"The last general is here!" A barbarian who spoke awkwardly in Chinese got off his horse.

He is not tall, rather stocky, with slightly bowed legs and long arms.When walking, breathing follows the rhythm of the pace, like a leopard recharging its energy.

"This is Lanyu, Marquis of Yongchang. Compete with him in riding and shooting!" Zhu Di laughed, "If you do well, you will be rewarded."

Timur looked at Sapphire, "Please advise!"

With her hands behind her back, Lan Yu didn't even look at the other party, she sneered and said, "You come first!"

Timur glanced at Sapphire again, and whistled directly.

Over there, a tall war horse galloped after hearing the sound.

Seeing that the war horse was about to rush to Zhu Biao and the others, Timur moved like a rabbit, and turned on his horse with a whistling sound.

The front hooves of the war horse are flying, and the mane is flying.Turning quickly on the ground, he galloped out towards the archery target in the racecourse.

This was the Royal Racecourse at that time, so there were naturally some people who practiced horseback riding and archery here, and there were archery targets on both sides.

"Good horse!" Sapphire exclaimed.

"Move forward, you can't see clearly from here!" Zhu Biao said.

Then everyone walked forward, and Zhu Xiongying also stepped forward to follow.

"What are you doing here, go back to study?" Zhu Biao said when he saw Zhu Xiongying.

Sapphire smiled and said, "Your Highness, let the grandson follow along. Those books written by plague scholars are not worth reading. Our Ming Dynasty wrote them down, not by studying them!" With an amiable face, "Let Your Highness see the method of the minister today!"

Zhu Xiongying pretended not to hear what Zhu Biao said, and followed Lan Yu sideways, Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly.

At this time, on the runway, Timur's war horse has moved.

The war horse is like a sharp arrow, and it shoots out at an extremely fast speed.

Timur was on horseback, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, leaning forward slightly.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Chang Mao whispered in Zhu Xiongying's ear, "King Yan's personal guard looks like a horse scout in the army who is good at riding and shooting. Look, Your Highness, he is holding arrows in his hand. If he draws the bow, he will be able to shoot endlessly!"

Zhu Xiongying's heart was surging when he saw it, "But Lianzhujian?"

Chang Mao smiled and said, "Your Highness is very knowledgeable!"

"what!"

There was a loud shout in the field, and when Timur rode his horse to charge, he suddenly straightened his body on the horse's back, and the bow and arrows in his hand shot out one after another, so fast that no one could see.

Whoosh, whoosh, galloped the horse across five archery targets, and the arrow hit the red heart.

In the blink of an eye, he was about to rush to the end of the archery target.

Timur stood up directly on the horseback, stretching his bow and arrows like a full moon.

Zhu Xiongying has only seen such scenes in movies before.

"Ha!" There was another shout, followed by a bang.

The arrow target at the back was actually torn apart under the shooting of the bow and arrow.

"Okay!" The crowd outside the venue cheered.

"How?" Amidst the cheers, Zhu Di said proudly, "Marquis Yongchang, it will depend on your means!"

Sapphire shook her head slightly, "I have never been allowed to shoot these dead things!"

Before Zhu Di could speak, Lan Yu shouted into the distance, "Come here!"

In a moment, three or five of Lan Yu's personal guards who were far away from the racecourse came on horseback.

They are all square-faced and majestic Huaixi men, and some of them have only one arm.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, give a demonstration!" Lan Yu said.

"Here!" All the guards beat their chests.

When everyone was puzzled, these personal guards lined up in a cavalry charge formation and began to warm up the horses.Then, while the horse was galloping, he took off the water bottle on his waist and raised his hands above his head.

Lan Yu walked to her horse, got on the horse, and straightened her bow and arrow, "Not fast enough, run!"

Boom, the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, echoing in the sky and the earth.

The war horse galloped and roared towards Sapphire.

"Hmph!" Lan Yu looked at Zhu Di, "Call the King of Yan to have a look today, what a certain Huai Xierlang did!" As she said, she pinched the horse between her legs.

He was alone, facing the charging cavalry, and greeted them.

The moment he bent his bow and set his arrows, he was able to look at Zhu Xiongying with leisure, smiled and shouted loudly.

"His Royal Highness, let's see what I'm capable of!"
