Lao Zhu said: "Bring it to us for a look."
Zhu Biao took out a few copies and showed them to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu opened Zhu Bai's appearance just now and spread it out in front of him.
Zhu Biao also came over to take a look.
Then the two people also saw the problem.
This is not something written by the same person.
Lao Zhu called Erhu in: "There has been something strange at King Qin's side recently."
Erhu said: "Back to the emperor, the King of Qin stays behind closed doors every day, and there is no unusual movement."
Lao Zhu explained that as long as the three princes did not leave the vassal territory, they would not need to retaliate no matter what they did.
Asked this suddenly, Erhu also felt a little clueless.
Lao Zhu said: "How about Master Hongyuan."
Erhu said: "Master Hongyuan has never left the Wangfu Zen Temple since he went to Xi'an."
This is the third year….
Although he is a monk, it is too strange for him to be like this after living in seclusion.
Lao Zhu guessed about it and said, "Have someone check to see if Master Hongyuan is safe."
-----
Zhu Bai had already bought a few kilograms of silk at the Guanya Bureau and had someone make a silk quilt.
Everyone knows about stuffing cotton into quilts.
What the hell is stuffing silk...
However, the silk made by Zhu Bai is said to be thin and warm.
A five-pound silk quilt is warmer than a ten-pound quilt.
Then bundle it with a rope to form a small square, which takes up no space at all.
He also made himself lambskin, with the skin facing out and the hair facing in, and made a complete set, including a jacket and trousers, gloves, a hat and boots. Put on a fox fur windbreaker.
Tsk tsk, not to mention the wind, even the arrow can't hit it.
He used the extra sheepskin to make a backpack, which contained his dry food, gun, telescope, writing box, some medicine powder, fire seals, some random herbs and other odds and ends given to him by Zhu Ru.
All in all, it only fills half of the backpack.
Carry a leather water bottle on your shoulder.
Concubine Hu Shun made seven or eight pairs of thick socks for him, but in the end he quietly took out five or six pairs, leaving only two pairs.
The quilt and a change of clothes were packed into a small bundle and placed on the horse.
This is all his luggage, and it is simpler than anyone else's.
After nearly being kidnapped by Deng Xi, Zhu Bai made a brass whistle himself.
The whistle was only as thick as Zhu Bai's little finger and one inch long. When blown, the sound was so sharp that it could be heard within two miles.
Zhang Yu repeatedly told Zhu Bai to carry the whistle with him this time in case it was needed in case of emergency.
He thought about it and made sheepskin jackets and boots for everyone accompanying him.
After all, these people are his guards, and their condition will determine his safety at that time.
It would be really troublesome if everyone got cold and sick as soon as they went there.
Ju Bai's guards are used to it.
Zhu Bai has always been considerate and considerate and willing to spend money. This small amount of money is really nothing to him.
But Mao Xiang and the others were all surprised: You must know that Lao Zhu was very stingy. In addition to giving them the monthly salary stipulated by the court, he would not give them more than a piece of paper.
Even their official uniforms and other accessories have to be purchased by themselves.
So there is a joke that new officials have to borrow money to buy official uniforms when they take office.
Every time it was Mao Xiang's turn to be on duty, he followed Lao Zhu to the morning court.
He stood on the steps under the dragon chair and had a clear view of the situation below.
It was simply a mess.
Even if they are both third-rank officials, the colors of their official uniforms are of different shades, and their textures are very different.
The rich silks and satins are bright and shiny, while the poor cheesecloths are still patched.
The military attache was even more confused.
The originally dignified court of the Ming Dynasty behaved like a cottage king convening a meeting of bandits.
So as Lao Zhu's son, Zhu Bai is really too generous.
A lambskin jacket of this quality costs at least three to five taels of silver.
He didn't say much, he just did one thing per person.
Plus boots, wild goose wing knife.
Fifty people have lost five to six hundred taels of silver. The combined annual salary of these twenty people does not even amount to five hundred taels of silver.
No wonder Zhang Yu and the others were completely devoted to him.

At the end of the first year, Zhu Bai and his party set off.
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao went to the gate of the imperial city to say goodbye in person.
Lao Zhu told Zhu Bai: "Watch them do it once, then go see your second brother and fourth brother and then come back. Don't be playful and don't run around."
Zhu Bai: "Father, don't worry. With so many people following me, everything will be fine."
Zhu Biao: "If the Xifan people have evil intentions, don't worry about anything else. You can come back first."
Zhu Bai said: "I understand, brother, don't worry."
Going out this time was really more difficult than usual.
Since the departure date was announced, Lao Zhu has been talking about it every day.
Concubine Hu Shun even had red eyes when she talked about it. She had already cried a lot last night.
Zhu Ju's thoughts gave him a headache.
Zhu Bai swore that he would come back safely, so he reluctantly comforted them.
Lao Zhu looked at Li Jinglong again: "Study hard and don't let down the expectations we and the prince have for you."
Li Jinglong knelt down and kowtowed: "Jiujiang obeys the decree."
Zhu Biao had already told Li Jinglong the day before to work hard this time and not make any more mistakes.
Today he didn't say anything more and just nodded slightly to Li Jinglong.
Li Wenzhong was actually very reluctant to give up.
He had gone to the north with Xu Da, so he naturally knew how bad the conditions there were.
Li Jinglong has been pampered since he was a child, and his last training was actually spent around Yingtian.
Suddenly letting him go to Hezhou Guard, four thousand miles away, felt like throwing a lamb into a pack of wolves.
Besides, Li Jinglong is not as clever as Zhu Bai. Whether he can protect himself when something happens is a question.
But in front of Lao Zhu, he couldn't show any reluctance.
After all, even Lao Zhu was willing to let his son go there.
Besides, as a military commander himself, he knew very well that "a strong man cannot be held in the palm of a hand, and a big tree cannot grow in a greenhouse."
He himself has been on the battlefield since he was a teenager, and he has gone through many hardships to achieve the strategies and skills he has today.
Zhu Bai saluted Lao Zhu and flew on his horse, showing great agility and handsomeness.
Li Jinglong also had two people protecting him, for fear that he would fall.
The two teams have the same uniforms and the same Yanling swords, but you can't tell the difference even if you stand there.
But now that he was moving, Lao Zhu, who was good at fighting, saw the difference.
Zhu Bai's people followed him quietly and neatly, clearly treating Zhu Bai as a wolf.
Li Jinglong's people surrounded Li Jinglong, and everyone helped him get a small bag of luggage. They clearly regarded Li Jinglong as a lamb in the flock.
Zhu Bai's horses are all "hot-blooded horses" with bad tempers and short tempers, but they can run fast and are suitable for running.
Li Jinglong's side.
Because he was afraid of hurting him, the horses Li Wenzhong chose were all "cool-blooded horses" that were docile and slow in movement, but could not run fast.
So Li Jinglong will definitely hold Zhu Bai back on the road.
Not to mention that Lao Zhu was unhappy, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown slightly.
Lao Zhu secretly muttered: This Li Jinglong is too squeamish.
When he comes back this time, if he is still like this, he will abandon this chess piece!
