Zhang Ren didn't say anything more, but cupped his hands towards Lan Yu and left the Duke Liang's mansion.
Seeing that Zhang Ren had left, Zhu Yunxi also lost his temper. He kicked the table in front of him and said angrily: "Who does Zhang Ren mean that he dares to show off here? He is just a little royal guard. , I came to him because I thought highly of him, but who knew he was so ignorant!"
Unexpectedly, Lan Yu went up and slapped Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi was puzzled, covering his cheeks and looking at Lan Yu blankly, and asked: "Uncle, why did you hit me?"
Lan Yu looked gloomy and scolded: "I should have beaten you just now, but it wasn't because Zhang Ren was here that I spared you some face! Remember this! If you want to sit in that position, then Contain all your temper, and live your life in peace no matter what you say or do!"
Zhu Yunxi was a little confused. His uncle had always been the one who spoiled him the most. No matter how big a mistake he made in the past, his uncle would stand in front of him and explain to him.
But what happened today? My uncle not only scolded me, but also beat me! All this is Zhang Ren's fault, Zhang Ren is the one who got in the way!
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's resentful face, Lan Yu was furious. He asked Zhu Yunxi loudly: "Did you hear what I said?"
Lan Yu was obviously really angry, and she actually brought out all her aura.
After all, he was also a great general of the Ming Dynasty, and he also walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood despite all obstacles. How could a little flower in the greenhouse like Zhu Yunxi resist the momentum he possessed?
Zhu Yunxi felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, so heavy that he could neither speak nor breathe. However, within a moment, he was already sweating on his back.
In panic, Zhu Yunxi nodded mechanically.
Lan Yu's face softened slightly, and the aura on her body disappeared.
Without the pressure of his momentum, Zhu Yunxi took a few deep breaths, and then he said, "I will definitely obey whatever uncle says from now on."
This was somewhat insincere, but he was really scared.
Lan Yu didn't seem to want to say anything more, so she waved her hand and let Zhu Yunxi go down.
It wasn't until Zhu Yunxi walked away that Lan Yu sighed with hatred.
How could he not know that Zhang Ren was telling the truth and Zhu Yunxi was indeed not a wise king, but there was nothing he could do about it.
To be fair, Zhu Yunxi is far worse than Zhu Yunwen in every aspect.
But Zhu Yunxi's mother came from Chang Yuchun's house and was related to Lan Yu. Therefore, Lan Yu naturally became very close to Zhu Yunxi.
In the past, Lan Yu always thought that as long as the prince inherited the throne in the future, Zhu Yunxi would definitely become the prince by virtue of his status as the eldest son, and the Lan family would also take a step forward and become the top noble family in the Ming Dynasty.
However, fate is not as good as fate. The prince died of illness. The humble and polite Zhu Yunwen fell into the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and became the emperor's grandson.
Lan Yu knew Zhu Yuanzhang's skills. He didn't want to be Zhu Yuanzhang's enemy, but as a distinguished nobleman, he couldn't avoid it.
Helping Zhu Yunxi to rise to power has become his only choice, not only to make the Lan family go further, but also to survive.
….
In order to achieve this goal, making friends with Zhang Ren is the first and most important step.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between nobles and nobles has been complicated. There are those who rely on each other, those who are superficial and incompatible, and of course there are those who stab each other in the back.
Lan Yu knew very well that in order to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen, all the nobles in the world would probably be wiped out. The butcher knife raised by Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne was aimed at all the nobles.
But the nobles and nobles could not form a rope and were unable to resist the imperial power.
And Zhang Ren is considered the last noble son, and has a good relationship with many noble families. As long as he wants to, he can definitely bring all the nobles together, and then they will have the confidence to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang.
Lan Yu's mind was spinning, and she looked at the place where Zhang Ren disappeared. Although Zhang Ren rejected her today, what happened next was still unclear.
There's a lot to do, I hope everything goes well in the future.
…
Zhang Ren left the Duke of Liang's Mansion, and he was also thinking a lot. He thought of everything Lan Yu thought of, but he still made his own judgment in his heart. Even if all the nobles united, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible. Will be Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent.
Although he was thinking this in his mind, he still wanted to do something. He couldn't just watch his friends die under the butcher's knife, not to mention that he himself was also a noble son, and he would be implicated even if he didn't even think about it.
Zhang Ren walked forward and passed by a mansion. This was the Jiangxia Marquis Mansion. He had been here several times before, and each time he came to see Zhou Ji.
But now Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing and Zhou Ji have become dead souls, no one in the Zhou family has been spared, and the once prominent high-ranking family is now sealed, which makes people feel very sad.
Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he looked at the plaque of Jiangxia Houfu. He clenched his fists and walked towards Jinyiwei.
As the largest spy agency in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei can collect more information. In order to save more people, Jinyiwei is where Zhang Ren must go.
All the way into Jinyiwei, Zhang Ren didn't even go to say hello to Luo Kedi first, and went directly to Jiang Yu's study.
But Jiang Yu was not here today. Even if he asked the people around him, they didn't know where the governor had gone.
Zhang Ren had no choice but to go and see Luo Kedi and then left.
The master and the apprentice were obviously worried, and their conversation was somewhat awkward. They were talking here and there without touching each other.
Absentmindedly, Zhang Ren chose to say goodbye and leave.
But before he left Luo Kedi's courtyard, he was stopped by Luo Kedi.
"Zhang Ren!"
Zhang Ren slowly turned around and cupped his hands towards Luo Kedi. Luo Kedi was still on top of the wall, but under the sunlight, Zhang Ren always felt that his master had a few more gray hairs.
Luo Kemi gave Zhang Ren a meaningful look, and finally said: "Jinling, you shouldn't have come back."
This topic was a bit heavy, and Zhang Ren also felt extremely depressed. He sighed, and then said: "I don't want to come back either. I'm ready to wander around the world, but there are too many people in this world for me. I can’t let go, I can’t just watch them die.”
Luo Kedi also found it strange. When he first met Zhang Ren, he always felt that this kid was an emotionless person. At that time, Zhang Ren was arbitrarily commenting on everything around him, as if he was an outsider or aloof. bystanders.
….
But Zhang Ren did change later on, from being emotionless to being emotional, he seemed to have integrated well here.
There were many things that Luo Kedi couldn't figure out, but he could see clearly. He knew that he couldn't influence Zhang Ren's thoughts, so he could only nodded slightly and said, "Be careful."
Zhang Ren cupped his hands, bent his body, and said, "Ren, I sincerely follow Master Luo's teachings."
After coming out of Luo Kedi's place, it was not too early, so Zhang Ren went home directly.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he saw the concierge already waiting for him.
The concierge was overjoyed to see Zhang Ren. He jogged to Zhang Ren's side and said, "Master Ren, you are back. It's been a smooth journey, right?"
As the concierge said this, he also dusted off Zhang Ren's body.
Jinling City has changed over time. Although it looks calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents surging. Seeing the concierge again this time made Zhang Ren feel like he was in another world.
He put a smile on his face and said, "The journey has been smooth, and everything in my hometown has been solved."
The concierge was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said: "Young Master Ren is really capable. If I know this, I will definitely be happy from ear to ear."
These words made Zhang Ren somewhat embarrassed. Although he solved the Japanese pirate problem, he also really screwed up the Zhang family. I wonder if his uncle would be happy if he knew about it?
Zhang Ren quickly changed the subject and asked as he walked inside, "How did you know I was coming back today?"
The concierge quickly replied: "Here comes home.
Guest, it was the guest who told me the news. "
To know that he was back and to be a guest at this time, there must be something important.
Zhang Ren couldn't help but walk a little faster. It was only when he entered the house that he realized that he had guessed wrong.
The person who came to the house as a guest was not Xungui at all, but Han Qin.
Seeing Zhang Ren come in, Han Qin ran over in a sprint. She smiled like a flower and said, "Zhang Ren, is it fun to visit the state capital?"
Zhang Ren saluted Han Qin and said, "Zhang Ren has met the Lord of Le'an County."
Han Qin quickly waved his hand and said, "Zhang Ren, since when did you start to talk about rules like this? First tell me whether it's fun to go to Zhoufu. I've never been out of Yingtian Mansion before."
Zhang Ren glanced at Han Qin angrily and said, "I didn't go to Dengzhou just for fun. I went to fight the Japanese pirates."
Han Qin stuck out her tongue, looking extremely cute. She asked again, "Then have you prepared a gift for me?"
Zhang Ren shook his head, "No gift, do you want the Japanese pirate's head?"
Han Qin laughed playfully and stretched out her palm towards Zhang Ren, "I want whatever you give me. I haven't seen the Japanese pirates yet, so take out the head and show it to me."
How does this Han Qin look like a county boss? Shouldn't a girl scream in fear when she hears a human head or something? Why did Han Qin become so looking forward to it now?
Zhang Ren patted his forehead and said pretentiously: "Look at my memory. I was in such a hurry when I came back that I forgot to take back the heads. But it doesn't matter. I ordered people to chop off the heads of the Japanese pirates." The Jingguan was built, and it is still standing on the beach. The county chief wants to see it, and I will take you there in the future."
Han Qin showed an expectant look. She clapped her hands, stretched out her little finger, and said, "Okay, it's settled, let's hook up."
Night rivers and lakes.
