Zhang Ren could not help but feel a little dazed where he was. Which man in the world could refuse a kiss from a beautiful woman?
Although it was just a touch like a dragonfly touching water, the touch from the lips was still clear.
It seemed that at this moment, Han Qin's image had undergone earth-shaking changes in Zhang Ren's heart.
She is no longer the demon that everyone in Jinling City fears, but has become a beautiful girl who dares to pursue happiness.
This thought kept lingering in Zhang Ren's mind, and he couldn't help but touch his lips, where there was still a little bit of residual warmth from Han Qin's kiss.
At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction Han Qin ran away.
He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, he took his hand back.
Zhang Ren lowered his head and sighed helplessly. Now is not the time to think about the love between his children. The most important thing now is to send all the people in his courtyard out safely.
The tenderness in Zhang Ren's eyes slowly disappeared and turned into determination.
He jumped up and left Luo Kedi's small courtyard.
…
In the palace, the court meeting is going on.
Although officials from various ministries were reporting their work vividly, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in charge, did not listen at all.
The eunuch behind him would whisper something in his ear every once in a while.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the shadow. Duke Ying is wearing armor and leaving the house. He is carrying Fu Rang on his shoulders. He is accompanied by Fu Rang's concubine and Fu Rang's infant child. As for the guards, the accompanying There’s only one person.”
After hearing the news, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth turned up slightly, Fu Youde, you are here after all, but what choice will you make next?
Not long after, the eunuch whispered again: "Your Majesty, there is news from the shadow that Duke Ying went to Zhang Ren's place. When he came out again, only Duke Ying and the only guard were left."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, feeling that everything was under control, Fu Youde, you are a smart man. As long as you choose according to my ideas, I don't mind sparing your son and grandson's life.
After a while, the young eunuch said again: "Your Majesty, there is news from the shadow that Duke Ying passed by the gate of the former military governor's mansion, but did not enter, but came straight towards the palace."
What? Fu Youde didn't go to the former military governor's mansion? Then why is he still wearing armor? At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already full of wisdom, frowned and felt a little panicked in his heart.
In fact, the previous suppression of Fu Youde and the nitpicking of Fu Rang were all part of Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.
While he was doing these things, he did not take away Fu Youde's military power. This was forcing Fu Youde to rebel.
In the entire Jinling City, Fu Youde was the only powerful nobleman left. These days, Fu Youde was suppressed and excluded by the courtiers. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Fu Youde would be panicked, which would increase the chance of him rebelling.
And Zhu Yuanzhang has already completed the arrangements in the former Army Governor's Mansion. As long as Fu Youde goes in to mobilize troops and generals, it will be Fu Youde's first step into the abyss.
Zhu Yuanzhang was old and didn't care what the outside world thought of him. He could have arranged for Fu Youde to be killed directly on an unfounded charge, but he did not do so.
….
He also wanted to see whether the generals of the former military governor's office were loyal to Fu Youde or to the Ming Dynasty.
Since he became emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has been in control of everything he does. But today, it seems that something has gone off track. Fu Youde did not go to the former military governor's house. This is a variable. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of a countermeasure.
He quietly said to the eunuch beside him: "Go tell Shadow and ask him to take people to Zhang Ren's place. No matter what the cost, Fu Rang must be captured! Today, I will force him, Fu Youde, to submit." !」
After receiving the order, the eunuch hurriedly retreated to deliver the message.
…
When Zhang Ren returned home, Lin Ling had been found by the Thousand Faces Man. Zhu Yunxi also asked people to prepare the carriage, and the preparations for the trip were ready.
Not waiting for people yet
what.
Zhang Ren had already spoken: "If you are not able to get on well with your legs, get on the carriage. The rest of the people who have horses will ride, and those who don't have horses will have to walk. Let's leave now."
Zhu Yunxi asked: "Where are you going?"
Zhang Ren replied: "Your fiefdom, Ruchang!"
Zhu Yunxi was startled by these words, and he hurriedly said: "Going to Ruchang? Can we get there safely along the way? And will it be safe when we reach Ruchang?"
Zhang Ren then said: "Even if Ruchang is not safe, it is still a hundred times safer than Jinling now. You are the king of the county and your majesty's grandson. As long as you follow the official road with great fanfare, no matter on the way or when you arrive in Ruchang , no one dares to take your lives in broad daylight, no one can bear such infamy."
Zhu Yunxi wanted to say something else, but Zhang Ren raised his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything anymore. We must hurry up now. If it's too late, we may not be able to leave!"
Hearing what Zhang Ren said was so serious, people got on the carriages one after another, and a convoy drove towards the city gate of Jinling.
When the shadow beside Zhu Yuanzhang led people to Zhang Ren's house, the place was already empty.
Shadow narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered sternly: "Let's go! Let's chase!"
…
Fu Youde walked slowly but steadily at the moment. He took a deep breath and looked up. The palace was not far away.
He pulled the only soldier beside him into an alley and asked, "Fu Zhan, how many years have you been with me?"
The soldier named Fu Zhan didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "It has been thirty-five years since the father-in-law picked up his subordinate, and it has been more than twenty years since the subordinate has been the father-in-law's personal soldier."
Fu Youde nodded and sighed: "Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I remember that you were still an infant at that time."
Fu Zhan knocked on the armor on his chest with one hand and said, "Yes, this subordinate is just a private soldier. It's rare for me to remember it."
Fu Youde raised his hand, looked at Fu Zhan with a complicated expression, and asked, "Fu Zhan, are you afraid of death?"
Fu Zhan smiled slightly and said calmly: "My subordinates are my own soldiers, so naturally they are not afraid of death."
Fu Youde took a breath and exhaled it slowly. He didn't dare to look into Fu Zhan's eyes, but turned his head to the side and asked: "I can't help you. The Fu family suffered a disaster today and was unable to resist the imperial power. I have a I’m sorry.”
Fu Zhan knocked on the armor on his chest again, and this time the sound was louder, "My subordinate's life is given by the father-in-law. As long as the father-in-law says a word, Fu Zhan will charge forward even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Just listen to Fu Youde say: "Your Majesty wants my family to sacrifice for this world. I can die, but Fu Rang is still young. I really can't bear him to die with me, so today, I hope you can die for Fu Rang." "
Night rivers and lakes.
