Although he didn't quite understand what the dish meant, Ji Jinkai could still guess what it was about.
"Yes, these people may have been just ordinary people or farmers a few days ago, and their personal strength is indeed average. But there are more than 600 people here, and Xiongtai can kill them all with just this strength. It is also beyond the reach of ordinary people." Ji Jinkai said solemnly, obviously the scene on the battlefield deeply stimulated him.
Ji Jinkai has always been confident in his marksmanship. With a spear in hand, he never thought that anyone could easily defeat him, or that he would be worse than anyone else.
But now, after seeing the results brought by Zhu Changwu, he couldn't help but feel convinced.
Ji Jinkai admired himself somewhat, which made Zhu Changwu feel moved. He noticed just now that Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng only made one shot each, but Ji Jinkai made three shots. This was enough to prove that this person's strength was far superior to his junior brother. If such a talent could not be attracted to his side, Isn’t it the biggest waste?
There are only ten days left before the end of the Ming Dynasty. If Zhu Changwu wants to change all this, it is obviously not possible to rely on himself alone. He needs more helpers. Aren't the people in front of him ready-made?
"Brother Ji, I don't know where you and your wife are going after today's events?" Zhu Changwu said as soon as he thought of it, real talents cannot wait for others to take the initiative to like each other, but must work hard to win them over.
"Oh? What do you mean, brother?" Ji Jinkai was stunned at first, and then he understood what Zhu Changwu meant. Is this an attempt to win over him?
"Haha, I guess you still don't know my identity very well, Xiao Liangzi." Zhu Changwu knew very well that if he wanted to win over others, he needed others to take him seriously. Fortunately, he also has a good status as a member of the royal family. Sometimes he can be used to pull tiger skins with good results.
When Liang Jun heard Zhu Changwu calling him, he smiled. Knowing that he was being used, he took two steps forward and said, "Brother Jin, you still don't know the identity of my young master. Listen up, the seventh king of Xiang Yes, according to seniority, the current Long Live Master is still a junior, so he should be called uncle..."
Liang Jun was still babbling, but Ji Jinkai's expression had obviously changed.
When he heard Liang Jun call him Young Master before, he just thought he was from a big family. Later, when he heard Hu Yunfeng call him Senior Brother, he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the person in front of me turned out to be a member of the royal family. He was a proper royal relative.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhu, disrespectful." Ji Jinkai waited for Liang Jun to finish speaking, then took the initiative to bow deeply to where Zhu Changwu was.
"Well, we don't need to be so polite between us." Zhu Changwu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, his hand just happened to lift Ji Jinkai's fallen arm, and then he said: "The country is like this, in fact, the so-called royal family status has nothing to do with it. It means so much.”
Just as Zhu Changwu was talking, Ji Jinkai lowered his arms intentionally. He wanted to use this to test the opponent's strength.
But no matter how hard Ji Jinkai tried, it was obvious that he couldn't shake Zhu Changwu at all. Even if he pressed down with both arms and the opponent only supported him with one arm, the result would be the same.
Feeling Ji Jinkai's exertion, Zhu Changwu just had a slight smile on his lips. Are you kidding me? His previous body was transformed. In this life, he was attached to this body, and his strength was also inherited. Only strength. How could anyone be his opponent?
After waiting for seven or eight breaths, and seeing Ji Jinkai's face turning red due to this, Zhu Changwu used a strong force to lift up the opponent's hands, then withdrew his right hand and said: "Brother Ji, now is the moment." In times of great chaos, this is when martial arts practitioners like us have their place. I hope you can make the right choice and serve the imperial court as you wish. I will ensure that you have a bright future and that you will be granted the title of wife in the future. Not to mention my son."
Zhu Changwu began to make a wish, and when he heard it in Ji Jinkai's ears, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
As a man, who doesn’t want to build a career of his own?
Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, people from the Zhu royal family personally invited him, so he couldn't help but take action. The most important thing is Zhu Changwu's powerful ability. One person can kill six to seven hundred people without losing the slightest disadvantage. Following a person like this, there should be a future.
His heart was already ready to move, but Ji Jinkai still didn't forget to look aside, looking at his wife Lou Heyang.
"Husband, if you are willing, I will accompany you." Lou Heyang waited until Ji Jinkai's eyes turned to her, then he knew what was going on and expressed his attitude directly.
"Okay." After receiving the encouragement and support from his wife, Ji Jinkai also made up his mind. He hugged Zhu Changwu's fists and said loudly: "Young master, if you don't give up, I am willing to follow you."
"Hahaha, okay, we will be good brothers from now on." Zhu Changwu was also overjoyed when he heard this. But he knew better that being able to let Ji Jinkai make a decision like this was not only because of his powerful skills, but most importantly, because of his background.
The Zhu Ming Dynasty has a history of more than 270 years, and its orthodox status has long been deeply rooted among the people. Anyone who has the ability is proud to serve the Zhu Ming court. Only then did Zhu Changwu This is the important reason why the other party readily agreed as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Zhu Changwu was happy that Ji Jinkai had been accepted here, the people from Lu Gongbao over there saw the bandits being killed and driven away, and they also came over with courage.
"Is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" a voice sounded in the crowd, and then a middle-aged man in his thirties asked as he walked towards where Zhu Changwu was.
"I don't dare to call you the prince, it's just useless to call me the prince, but I don't know you are..." Zhu Changwu didn't know what the person meant, so he asked tentatively.
"Oh, Young Master, I am Zhang Yi. I was originally from the capital. Because I offended a villain, I temporarily stayed in Lv Gongbao as a private tutor. I just saw the Young Master's grace and I admire you very much. I am willing to listen to you."
Zhang Xi said it very politely, but in fact, he didn't admire Zhu Changwu's killing style. He clearly had a good ear, and after learning that he was a relative of the emperor, he took the initiative to look for work.
This Zhang Yi has some knowledge, otherwise he would not be a private school teacher. But in the final analysis, the level of education is only half-achieving. I just passed the examination as a scholar. If I want to pass the exam, I will not succeed in any case. As I get older, I will stop thinking about making progress. In the capital, he was always laughed at, and he felt sorry for himself, so he was introduced to Lu Gongbao and became a teacher.
I originally thought that this would be it for the rest of my life, but who would have thought that bandits would attack Lugong Fort, which frightened Zhang Yi. Fortunately, Zhu Changwu arrived just at this time, and this solved the crisis here.
After this incident, Zhang Yi also saw clearly that Lu Gongbao was no longer so safe, and at this time he learned Zhu Changwu's identity, so he volunteered himself and wanted to see if he could get a better future.
Zhang Xi's arrival was something Zhu Changwu didn't expect.
But since he was interested, he didn't mind receiving it first and then inspecting it carefully. The so-called Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better.
At this time, Zhu Changwu would never dislike having too many people around him.
"Okay, sir, if you are interested, just follow me." Zhu Changwu agreed, and his team doubled from the original three people to the current six people.
...
Ten days later.
AD 1644, April 25.
The last day of the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty.
Early in the morning, Emperor Chongzhen insisted on his last morning court, but no one came to court. He sadly walked to the Jingyang Bell and rang the bell himself, one after another...
But... still no one came.
At this time, news came from the inner prison that Zhangyi Gate had been destroyed, Guangning Gate was in danger, the outer city had fallen, and the Forbidden City was in danger.
After hearing the news, Chongzhen collapsed on the ground. The eunuch Wang Chengen helped him back to Qianqing Palace. At this time, Chongzhen was no longer panicked. He picked up his ink pen and wrote the best imperial edict, "Admiral Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, supervises all military forces at home and abroad, and assists the East Palace."
Afterwards, Chongzhen calmly took out the written suicide note from a small box, ordered Wang Chengen to sew it on the lapel of his robe, and then calmly came to the harem and came to the front of Queen Zhou.
"The city is destroyed and the country is destroyed. As the mother of the world, you should..." The last word was not uttered, and Chongzhen really couldn't say it.
Empress Zhou had three sons and three daughters for Chongzhen, namely Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang, Prince Huaiyin Zhu Cixuan, (who died early) Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong, Princess Kunyi, Princess Zhaoren, and Princess Changping Zhu Huimao.
Not only did she flourish the Zhu dynasty, but Queen Zhou was also very virtuous and virtuous. She was in charge of the expenses of the harem, which was also the most economical era for the harem in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Facing such an outstanding woman, Chongzhen had some words that he really couldn't say.
But precisely because of Empress Zhou's excellence, Chongzhen could never watch her fall into the hands of bandits and suffer all the humiliation.
"Your Majesty, don't say anything. I know what to do, and I don't blame you. It's just the prince and the others..."
Mother's love is the greatest in the world, and it is undoubtedly revealed here.
Knowing that she was bound to die, Queen Zhou was not thinking about herself, but what would happen to her children in the future.
"Don't worry, Queen. The Crown Prince and Prince Ding will send people to escort them out of the palace, but Changping and the others..." Chongzhen didn't know what to say next.
Note: The candidate recommended by Zhang Yiào Huiguan Thatched Cottage will also be one of the important roles in the future.
