The plan to force Fu Youde to rebel completely failed. Zhu Yuanzhang has been in charge of the Ming Dynasty for almost thirty years. Over the years, he has become accustomed to the feeling of smooth sailing and thought that everything was under control. However, he forgot that there are so many heroes in the world.
Fu Youde died. The result was exactly as Zhu Yuanzhang expected, but the way of death was completely different.
So strictly speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did lose this time, because he was too confident and because he underestimated Fu Youde too much.
If this matter continues to ferment, rumors will spread everywhere, and it will be difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to escape the infamy that drove him to death.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely unhappy, he also understood that no one else was to blame for the whole incident, so he did not vent his anger on Shadow.
He waved his sleeves and said to the shadow: "Get up. This matter is not your fault. Even if you bring Fu Rang back, it will not help."
After Shadow thanked him, he stood up. He told the whole story of how he went to capture Fu Rang. He did not add any personal touches, but just talked about the matter.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and let the shadow disappear into the darkness.
In the empty hall, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, there was only the blood splashing on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a trance. After a while, he shook his head and sighed: "This kid Zhang Ren is indeed interesting."
In his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang also lamented. After all, Shadow still lacked some scheming. In his eyes, apart from the emperor's life, he also regarded Paoze's life and death. It must be said that he was a good sharp blade, and he never used it to kill decisively. It's muddled, but such a sharp blade often lacks flexibility.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew very well who Zhu Yunxi was. He did not believe that Zhu Yunxi really dared to kill himself. If he really dared, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably look down on his grandson.
If a flexible person were to capture Fu Rang today, Zhang Ren and Zhu Yunxi would never be able to manipulate him like this.
…
In the swaying carriage, Zhu Yunxi woke up slowly. He raised his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Zhang Ren.
He said as if his breath was wandering: "Zhang Ren, am I already dead? Are we going to Naihe Bridge? But I didn't expect that you would die with me. I'm really touched."
Zhang Ren glanced at Zhu Yunxi and slapped Zhu Yunxi on the head.
Zhu Yunxi let out a cry like a killing pig: "Ouch! Zhang Ren, you are already dead, why are you still bullying others? It hurts me so much, your hands are so strong."
Zhang Ren curled his lips and said mockingly: "You still know it hurts? You're already dead and you still know it hurts?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yunxi immediately sat up. He touched his neck. The wound had been treated and bandaged. A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face. He said excitedly: "So I'm not dead?"
Zhang Ren nodded, "Of course, it's just a bit of skin breakage, and the wound will be treated with a little treatment. However, it is really a pity."
Zhu Yunxi asked: "What's the pity?"
Zhang Ren said: "It's a pity that you, the scumbag prince, are not dead. When you arrive in Ruchang, the people of Ruchang will probably suffer a lot."
Of course Zhu Yunxi knew that Zhang Ren was making fun of him, but he was currently immersed in the joy of rebirth, so he ignored Zhang Ren.
….
But after a while, Zhu Yunxi's face darkened again, and he asked Zhang Ren: "Do you really know the man in black who stopped us just now? Then do you know why he wanted to kill me before?"
Naturally, Zhang Ren didn’t know the shadow, but the shadow wanted to kill Zhu Yunxi before, and this time he came to arrest Fu Rang. Zhang Ren could probably guess that the shadow was either his majesty’s man, or he had his majesty’s approval, otherwise he would intercept and kill the county. I'm afraid no one in the world would dare to do such a thing as Wang.
He guessed it, but Zhang Ren had no intention of telling Zhu Yunxi. He was mainly afraid that Zhu Yunxi would not accept it.
Are you saying that your grandfather wants to kill you?
This kind of thing is too cruel, but it is not uncommon in the struggle for imperial power. Wu Zetian can even strangle her own daughter to death with her own hands. It seems normal for Zhu Yuanzhang to kill a grandson for the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
.
Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "How do I know those men in black? The situation was urgent, so I just blew him out of my mouth. I didn't expect it to actually work."
Zhu Yunxi didn't doubt that he was there and nodded lightly.
The motorcade drove for a while, and suddenly there was a noise outside.
Zhang Ren frowned, stuck his head out the window, and shouted, "What happened?"
Cao Bing hurried over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Zhang Ren, go and have a look. Fu Rang is awake and is losing his temper. He insists on going back to Jinling and refuses to listen to anyone's advice."
Zhang Ren had already expected this. He jumped off the carriage and went straight to the rear of the team.
At this moment, Fu Rang had already gotten off the carriage. He was being pushed to the ground by someone, but he was still yelling and struggling, while Ayi timidly stood aside with his child in his arms.
Zhang Ren came to Fu Rang, knelt down and slapped Fu Rang.
Just listen to Zhang Ren shouting: "Have you had enough trouble?"
Fu Rang raised his head and saw that the person coming was Zhang Ren, which made him furious. He had been to Zhang Ren's house when Lan Yu was just arrested, but not only did he not see the person, but he was also He was beaten with random sticks, which made him extremely unhappy.
Fu Rang gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Ren! Let me ask you, where is my father?"
Zhang Ren waved his hands towards the people who were holding Fu Rang down and said, "Let him go first."
After getting rid of the restraints, Fu Rang stood up. He ignored the dirt on his body and asked again: "Zhang Ren, where is my father?"
Zhang Ren opened his mouth and replied, "I don't know. Duke Ying Guo probably went to the palace. I don't know what happened next."
After hearing this, Fu Rang turned around and walked towards Jinling City.
Zhang Ren hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Fu Rang.
Fu Rang turned around and glanced at Zhang Ren. He didn't say anything, but clenched his fist and punched Zhang Ren's face.
Zhang Ren reacted very quickly and grabbed Fu Rang's wrist with his backhand. With just a twist, he controlled Fu Rang.
Fu Rang was furious and said: "Zhang Ren! Let me go! I'm going to Jinling to find my father!"
Zhang Ren was also angry and said, "Have you made enough trouble? It's unclear what's going on in Jinling now, and there's no news from Duke Ying. Why are you going back so rashly and risking your life?"
Fu Rang sneered and said, "Zhang Ren! Why do you care about me? Why didn't you care about me when I went to your house to find you? Why are you pretending to be a good person now?"
….
Zhang Ren was suffocated and didn't know how to reply to Fu Rang.
Fortunately, Thousand Faces Man was also there, and he immediately opened his mouth to clarify for Zhang Ren: "It's the governor. The governor said that no matter which nobleman Zhang Ren met, the governor would definitely let that nobleman die. The reason why Zhang Ren didn't see him You are not afraid that the governor will cause trouble for you."
Fu Rang looked back and saw that Zhang Ren's arrogance was much lower, but he still said: "I don't care, I want to go find my father now, and none of you can stop me."
The current Jinling City is indeed too dangerous, and Zhang Ren has no intention of coddling Fu Rang. He directly gave Fu Rang a big slap in the face and said: "Ying Guo Gong handed you over to me because he didn't want you to lose your life in vain." , now that you are thinking about going back to die, aren’t you betraying your father’s wishes?”
Fu Rang frowned and said, "My life is my own and no one can control it. Today, I just want to go back to Jinling to find my father!"
Zhang Ren was so angry that he pulled Fu Rang over and punched Fu Rang in the face with his fist, but he knew the severity and did not use his internal strength.
As if one punch wasn't enough, Zhang Ren raised his fist and punched Fu Rang one after another.
The anger and resentment in his heart also need to be vented.
During this period, Fu Rang also punched back, but Zhang Ren easily dodged it, and all his fists fell into the air.
Zhang Ren beat for a while, and then he stopped panting. He sat down on the ground, panting non-stop. He was really tired from the beating.
Fu Rang also sat down on the ground. He was tired from the beating, and his nose and face were already bruised and swollen.
A lot of resentment was vented in his chest, but Zhang Ren finally calmly
Said: "Brother Fu, your life is indeed your own, but now you can't just think about yourself."
Zhang Ren said, pointing to Ayi who was crying in tears, and continued: "You still have a wife and a child. If you really have something wrong with you, what will you do to them, mother and child?"
Fu Rang tightened his fists, and then let go. He felt very helpless at the moment. Faced with the sudden change, he had a lot of courage, but found that he could do nothing.
This feeling was so despairing that even Fu Rang, a tall and dignified man, actually shed tears at this moment.
But he knew he couldn't cry. He still had his wife and children behind him, so he had to be strong.
Fu Rang wiped his tears, stood up and walked towards Ayi. He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Ayi's face, and then hugged their mother and son into his arms.
After a long time, Fu Rang finally said: "Brother Ren, I'll leave the rest of the journey to you. My father trusts you. As a brother, I naturally trust you too. I will go wherever you tell me to go. "
Zhang Ren nodded, and the group continued to set off. Fu Rang's matter was just a minor incident.
After a while, the motorcade stopped. Zhang Ren stuck his head out again and asked, "What happened again?"
This time it was Cao Bing who answered. He pointed to the front of the motorcade and said, "Someone is blocking the way."
In broad daylight, on the official road, the person blocking the road must have some purpose.
Zhang Ren led a group of people forward, only to see an extra pavilion for enjoying the cool air above the official road.
The pavilion was built impartially in the middle of the official road.
But there were three people in the pavilion, and Zhang Ren knew all three of them.
One is Jia Yuntong, one is Sun Qiyue, and the other is Zhu Yunwen.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was playing the piano in the pavilion. He played very slowly, and the tune was not melodious. It could only add a little more flavor to the quiet environment.
Night rivers and lakes.
