It doesn't seem to matter whether the identities of the men in black are known, because there are too many people who want Zhu Yunxi to die.
Of course, there are some strange things about those men in black. Generally, most of the people sent to kill are dead soldiers. According to the strength of those men in black, even if they lose most of their manpower, even if they grind, they can kill Zhang Ren and others. A man with a thousand faces will grind him to death.
At that time, Zhu Yunxi's life would definitely be in danger.
It's just that Zhang Ren really can't figure out why these men in black retreated. Are they really just afraid of losing their manpower? Will the dead soldiers care about losing men?
Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhang Ren simply didn't think about it. Anyway, it would be safe if he returned to Jinling.
Zhu Yunxi never knew that so many people would want him dead, nor did he know that so many people would hate him.
In his opinion, royal blood is inherently superior to others, so why should he care about what others think?
But today, he seemed to understand a lot of things all at once. He leaned weakly on the carriage, and his eyes were dim.
He looked up at Zhang Ren, seemed to laugh at himself, and said: "So many people want me to die, but I still have Grandpa Huang and Yun Wen. We are blood relatives. They will definitely protect me, right? Especially It's Yun Wen, no matter how much I bully him, he always treats me gently, after all, we are blood brothers."
Zhang Ren glanced at Zhu Yunxi sideways and poured cold water on him again.
"Your Majesty probably wants you to die, and Zhu Yunzhen most likely wants you to die too, but they don't want to have a reputation that cannot tolerate people killing their loved ones, so it will be safe for you to appear openly in front of everyone when you return to Jinling City. "
What Zhang Ren said was by no means unfounded, but well-founded.
In order to stabilize the country, Zhu Yuanzhang killed many people. According to Zhang Ren's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, if killing a grandson can bring peace to the country, then Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely take action without hesitation.
As for Zhu Yunwen, he used to be really kind-hearted, but since he was named the emperor's grandson, he seems to have completely changed. It's like he could enter the palace to help Xie Cheng and Xie Wen'an intercede, but he could He didn't do that at all.
You must know that Xie Wen'an protected Zhu Yunwen. Even when faced with Zhang Ren's accusation afterwards, Zhu Yunwen seemed quite unconcerned.
Not to mention that Zhu Yunxi bullied Zhu Yunwen all day long, which was a huge threat to Zhu Yunwen's position.
Zhang Ren didn't know whether supreme power could change a person, but he truly felt Zhu Yunwen's change.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were dull and he was leaning against the corner of the carriage, not knowing what he was thinking. He was probably thinking about some philosophical issues about life and death.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's appearance, Zhang Ren lamented and said, "But there are still people in this world who don't want you to die."
Zhu Yunxi turned his head to look at Zhang Ren, grinned helplessly, and asked: "Grandpa Huang and Yunwen are both my blood relatives. They both hope that I die. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want me to die?"
Zhang Ren nodded firmly and said, "Yes, at least Lan Yu doesn't want you to die. Although he wants to use your power to make the Lan family the most powerful relative, he also sincerely loves you as a descendant. Even though he is in the prison of the Zhenfu Division, he still begs me to save you."
….
After hearing the news, Zhu Yunxi felt mixed emotions in his heart. He grinned again, but this time he was not smiling, but crying bitterly.
…
At the same time, the masked people who attacked Zhu Yunxi walked westward for a long time, then found a deserted place and put on the civilian clothes that had been prepared, and made a large circle back to Jinling City in batches.
And the place where they finally returned was actually the palace...
In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the memorials as usual. Lan Yu and other important ministers were sent to prison, and Zhu Yunxi was forcibly sent to the fief. These things did not seem to cause any emotional disturbance to him.
A person walked out of the shadow of the imperial study at some point. This person took a few steps forward, but his face was still in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
This man bowed his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said respectfully
Said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yunxi has escaped."
Although this man was extremely respectful to Zhu Yuanzhang, his words showed no respect for Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi's title is that of a county king. Except for members of the royal family, everyone else must call him prince when they meet him. Otherwise, it is disrespectful to the royal family. This is a huge sin.
But this man called Zhu Yunxi by his name.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to care much. He just paused for a moment with his cinnabar pen while reviewing the memorial and said, "Oh? How can you let him run away if you go there in person? Is it because my grandson has dead soldiers around him? Or is there someone in Li Jinglong's left army? A master who can compete with you?"
The man shook his head and said: "Zhu Yunxi's power all comes from Lan Yu. Now that Lan Yu is in Zhenfu Prison, how could there be dead soldiers around Zhu Yunxi? As for the left army sent by Li Jinglong, even more You idiot, those people were killed by my men in just a few breaths. It was Zhang Ren and the Thousand-faced Man who saved Zhu Yunxi."
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the cinnabar pen and raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I have heard Jiang Wei mention the Thousand-faced Man a few times, and I think he is a pretty good young man. As for Zhang Ren, isn't he on good terms with Yunwen? Zhu Yunxi has always wanted to snatch the crown prince's position from Yunwen. Zhang Ren doesn't know why he still wants to save Zhu Yunxi?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure it out. This man couldn't figure it out either. He shook his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "I don't know either."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this man with great interest and asked: "I still know your kung fu. Are Zhang Ren and the Thousand-faced Man enough to rival you?"
The man shook his head and said: "The two of them are naturally not my opponents, but they are by no means mediocre. As long as I want to kill Zhu Yunxi, they can't stop me, but in this way, my men will be damaged." There must be a lot of them, I'm afraid I might accidentally expose something and leave clues, and I also feel it's not worth exchanging the lives of my men for Zhu Yunxi's life."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became colder and asked: "Isn't it worth it? Zhu Yunxi should be regarded as Biao'er's eldest son. If he is alive, there is no guarantee that he will not be used by someone with ulterior motives in the future. When he ascends to the top and shouts, I am afraid that There will be a military disaster."
The man didn't take it seriously. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if Zhu Yunxi is not dead, he is still scared to death by me. He doesn't have the courage to fight for the throne."
"The human heart is unpredictable, and greed has no end." Zhu Yuanzhang lamented, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if you don't die, you won't die. You have worked hard this time, so go on."
The man cupped his hands and disappeared into the darkness again.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and murmured to himself: "Zhang Ren, what do you think? Is it really as selfless as Jiang Yu said?"
Night rivers and lakes.
