Thirty thousand cavalrymen surrounded Lan Naoer's five thousand soldiers and horses in an instant.
A soldier shouted: "The King of Yan is here!"
Immediately all the cavalry stood on their horses, holding their weapons high:
"drink!"
"drink!"
"drink!"
Swish swish——
The crossbows were ready and aimed at the soldiers and horses brought by Lan Nao'er.
The aura instantly suppresses the opponent.
They are also soldiers. Lan Naoer brought soldiers from the local guard station. These soldiers usually do not fight, half of them are working in the fields and half of them are on guard.
How can they compare with King Yan's elite Yanshan people?
The iron cavalry is clanking and the momentum is like a rainbow!
These five thousand soldiers and horses suddenly did not dare to move.
This is King Yan!
It turned out that after receiving the order from Li Xiao, Qianhuju Chen immediately asked his subordinates to rush back to Peiping so that King Yan could be ready to respond at any time.
Only then did this scene appear!
King Yan Zhu Di rode his horse and slowly came to Zhu Ningyun and others, dismounted and walked over.
"Father!"
Zhu Ningyun ran over happily.
Seeing his father arriving, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"Ningyun, it's okay. As long as my father is here, no one in the world will hurt you."
Zhu Di held Ningyun in his arms and gently touched her back, fearing that she would be frightened.
"Father."
"Father."
"His Royal Highness King Yan."
Li Xiao, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui also came over one after another, looking happy.
Zhu Di nodded and said with a smile: "I already know what you have done."
As he said that, he looked at Li Xiao and said: "Li Xiao, you really don't give me peace of mind. If you made such a big noise, if I hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would be unimaginable."
What Li Xiao could say, he could only hold his hand: "Li Xiao pleads guilty and will be dealt with as he pleases after returning home."
Even so, Li Xiao didn't believe that King Yan was willing to punish him.
After people like him return to the mansion, King Yan will know how much his daughter Ningyun has changed.
"Father, don't blame Li Xiao."
Zhu Ningyun explained: "The injustices encountered along the way were all because my daughter couldn't stand it and wanted to help those suffering people, and Li Xiao supported all her daughter's decisions."
The implication is that these things were caused by oneself.
Li Xiao was just helping himself.
"I see."
Zhu Di nodded and patted Ningyun's shoulder gently, "Okay Ningyun, my father will handle the rest."
After speaking, Zhu Di walked forward, looked at Lan Yu and others, and shouted: "Whoever wanted to take away my king just now, and told me to bow my head, come here!"
This scolding frightened Lan Nao'er so much that his lips turned white.
Lan Yu fights all the year round and kills people on the battlefield. She indeed has the qualifications and aura to challenge Zhu Di.
But Lan Yu's son Lan Nao'er is not good enough at all. Even Zhu Gaoxu is not good enough, let alone Zhu Di himself.
He walked out tremblingly and bowed his hands respectfully:
"Your Highness, Prince Yan, this is all a misunderstanding. I was just talking nonsense. Please look at my father's face and let this matter go."
"Exposed?"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Don't say it's you today, even if your father comes in person, I will arrest him! To commit an attack in broad daylight and try to murder the royal bloodline is a capital crime!"
After drinking "Death Sin", Lan Nao'er's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground in fear.
Zhu Di waved his hand: "Come here, take these gangsters into custody and take them back to Peking for trial!"
After talking,
Ten soldiers walked towards Lan Nao'er and grabbed him directly.
The other earls who followed Lan Nao'er were frightened out of their wits when they heard this.
If the crown prince is brought back to Peking for trial by King Yan, will there be any good fruits left to eat?
"Wait!"
One of the earls had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is taking him back to Peking for trial. This is against the rules. Even if the prince is guilty, he will be brought back to Hangzhou for trial."
Another earl also raised his hand and said: "Yes, even if you are King Yan, this does not seem to be within your jurisdiction. It is neither in line with the rules nor reasonable for you to bring the prince back for trial. In addition, I advise Yan The king said, keep a thin line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Duke Liang Lan Yu will make a triumphant return in the near future. I hope King Yan can give Duke Liang some face."
The words were full of threats.
In addition to using the law to suppress Zhu Di, he also moved out Liang Guogong Lan Yu.
But Zhu Di doesn't accept this trick.
If it were Lan Yu, he really couldn't move.
But Lan Yu's son is acting recklessly in Yandi. If he doesn't deal with it himself, what dignity will he have in the future?
Zhu Di pointed to the people who had spoken just now, the earls, and said: "If you don't speak, I am negligent. These people are accomplices, take them away together!"
Zhu Di didn't explain at all and just wanted to capture the person.
Hearing this, the expressions of several earls changed drastically.
They looked at each other and seemed to be making up their minds.
Thinking that they still have five thousand soldiers and horses, if they really make a fuss, it will be a disaster!
I don't believe it, Zhu Di really dared to take 30,000 cavalry to fight with their 5,000 cavalry.
At that time, the Holy Emperor will be furious when he sees the Ming army killing each other.
Zhu Di is reasonable, but also becomes irrational!
"Prince Yan, are you really so arbitrary in your actions? Then don't blame me for being unkind!"
After saying that, the Marquis shouted: "All the officers and soldiers obeyed the order and came to Beiping today to capture the key criminals. Unexpectedly, they encountered King Yan's obstruction. We will not obey until we die!"
Several other marquises also shouted: "I will not obey until I die!"
After that, the soldiers and horses brought by Lan Nao'er formed a formation and prepared to fight.
This is about to take action!
Rumble——
On King Yan's side, a general led his cavalry one step forward without any fear!
"These gangsters are extremely shameless!"
Zhang Wu rode over and shouted: "Your Highness, King Yan, Zhang Wu invites you to fight. With one charge, he will kill these people without leaving any trace of armor behind!!"
Hearing this,
The faces of the earls changed.
It was originally meant to be a threat, but I didn't expect the other party to be serious.
The general is not someone to be trifled with at first glance. His men are all elite. How can these infantry resist the rainbow-like iron weapons?
Their eyes were all turned to Zhu Di.
I saw Zhu Di clenching his fist and saying one word "accurate"!
At that moment, the earls were sweating profusely!
"Wait! Wait!"
Several counts gave in and shouted: "We admit defeat."
He had some chance of survival after being caught, but he risked his life with these tough cavalry and was killed on the spot.
"Haha, trash." Zhang Wu's interest was greatly reduced.
Even if the war cannot be fought, people still have to be captured.
King Yan's people walked over quickly and directly held Lan Nao'er and several earls down.
"What, are you just cowardly?"
Lan Naoer yelled: "Fight with them! I don't believe that Zhu Di dares to really kill us."
An earl said with a grimace: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at someone else's territory. Let's admit our defeat. Now we can only wait for the Duke's triumphant return and seek justice for us."
Lan Nao'er was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that things would reach this point in a blink of an eye.
But that's all.
He was so angry that he looked at Li Xiao and cursed: "Li, I'm your mother. You just robbed my people and my goods. Why did you take my account books and kill me? Yes." What good do you have!"
"You still utter arrogant words when you are about to die, just wait for death!"
Li Xiao scolded back, and then said: "I was the one who robbed you, and I robbed your goods, but I didn't take your account book. You idiot, you are about to die, and you don't know how you died."
"What? You didn't get the account book?"
Lan Nao'er was dumbfounded and followed Qianli just to get back the ledger. But he said he didn't get the ledger?
"If you didn't take it, who could it be?"
Lan Nao'er was shocked. Could it be that he was from Beizhen Fusi? If he was really from Beizhen Fusi, it meant that the Holy One was investigating this matter and he was really dead!
"That's a lot of nonsense, take it away!"
Zhu Di scolded, and the soldiers took a few people and prepared to take them away.
That's when.
Boom boom boom——
Another group of cavalry came this way.
Lan Nao'er turned around and looked, wondering if he was his rescuer?
Unfortunately not.
I saw two royal guards wearing flying fish uniforms, followed by a thousand-man cavalry team in gold and silver armor. They were the personal guards of the Holy Emperor.
“The imperial edict has arrived!!!”
Baihu finally arrived with the imperial edict in hand.
Seeing this situation, he knew that he was a step too late.
But fortunately King Yan is here, otherwise things would be unimaginable.
"Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing the Holy One, why don't you kneel down!"
White Tiger shouted loudly.
Immediately, everyone knelt down in unison.
"According to the imperial edict of the Emperor, Lan Nao'er has committed a heinous crime. I already know it. I will arrest him and bring him back to the capital as soon as possible. The three departments will interrogate him and discuss the crime and punish him. I admire this!"
As the imperial edict came down, Lan Nao'er became dizzy and passed out.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Now even the soldiers and horses brought by Lan Nao'er know that it is Lan Yu's son who has committed a serious crime. So aren't they themselves accomplices?
"I have met His Highness King Yan."
Bai Hu walked over and held his hands in respect, "Please, Your Highness, King Yan, hand over these people to us and take them back to the capital."
"Yeah." Zhu Di nodded.
He was also worried about what to do with these people when he took them back.
Since his father already knew about this, he would have no trouble.
After saying that, Bai Hu looked at Li Xiao and others, bowed and said: "Thank you a few people for eliminating harm to the people. When we return to the capital, we will definitely ask for credit from the Holy One."
Li Xiao and others smiled and nodded.
"take away!"
Bai Hu turned around and gave an order.
The soldiers and horses they brought captured Lan Nao'er and others and pushed them into the prepared prison car.
Then he looked at the other soldiers and said, "You don't know the reason, so you should go back to your respective guard posts and wait for your fate."
Just like that, this farce finally ended.
An hour later, Lan Nao'er's group of people gathered here. Those who needed to be pushed away were pushed away, and those who needed to go back sailed back one after another.
"So happy, so happy! Lan Yu is so arrogant and domineering, do you really think no one can cure him?"
Zhu Di was very happy. He laughed and looked at Li Xiao and others:
"Let's go home, and I will personally take care of you!"
"Back! Back!"
When they returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Gaochi, who had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time, shouted from a distance.
Princess Xu Miaoyun and Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi saw everyone returning safely and immediately came to greet them.
Zhu Gaochi held a willow branch and was afraid of hitting Li Xiao and others, "Come, come, go away the bad luck, go away, just go home safely."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Haha. Brother, there is nothing bad about us. We are all happy, happy."
"You're still happy." Zhu Gaochi said angrily: "I heard that you were chased all the way by Lan Yu's son and almost lost your life."
Zhu Ningyun hugged Zhu Gaochi affectionately, and then said with a smile: "Brother, isn't this okay? As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. This is a good thing. Gao Xu is right, it is happiness."
Huh?
Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Xu Miaoyun and others were all stunned after seeing Zhu Ningyun's performance and conversation.
Is this still his own Ningyun? He has completely changed.
My personality has become very cheerful and I can talk and laugh with everyone.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other, feeling extremely pleased.
Although this trip was thrilling, it was worth it. Ningyun has really changed. What a big change!
In the past, I was bored at home and almost became a gourd. Now it seems that the haze of disfigurement has been completely swept away.
In fact, Zhu Ningyun himself didn't notice it, it was a subtle and slow change.
Xu Miaoyun took Ningyun's hand and said, "It's good to come back. Happy, happy. Come home quickly for dinner."
"Huh? Why are there so many little girls?"
With sharp eyes, Zhu Gaochi saw hundreds of little girls following the team.
Zhu Ningyun smiled and said: "I snatched this from Lan Nao'er. These are poor girls."
Zhu Gaochi asked again: "There are still so many goods?"
Zhu Ningyun explained: "Those goods were also collected from Lan Nao'er. They are all raw silk."
Zhu Gaochi pointed at Zhu Ningyun and others in surprise, "You guys went out to be bandits? No wonder you were chased all the way by Lan Nao'er."
Zhu Gaoxu was unconvinced and said: "What are you talking about? Brother, we are doing justice for heaven and eliminating harm for the people."
"Okay, okay, get rid of harm for the people."
Zhu Gaochi smiled and shook his head, "You have worked hard all the way. Come to the mansion to rest. I will take care of these little girls and goods."
"That's hard work, brother."
Zhu Ningyun smiled slightly.
Afterwards, everyone entered the house one after another.
Zhu Gaochi, on the other hand, arranged for the servants to arrange the girls and the goods.
Prince Yan's Mansion covers an area of 1,000 acres, and there is no problem in housing such a large number of people.
"Oh my god, this is the palace."
When these Yangzhou thin horses saw the sign in front of the mansion clearly, everyone showed joy.
They estimated that Li Xiao and others had unusual identities, but they did not expect that they were from the prince.
"I have discovered it a long time ago. Didn't you hear someone call that girl the princess?"
Ruyu is older and now seems to be the leader of these thin horses.
She looked at everyone with a smile, "We will definitely have a good life from now on, and we have hope for the future."
Everyone nodded.
And the sailors also followed. Their ship was bombed and they had nowhere to go.
After seeing the Wangfu's sign, he was determined to follow Li Xiao, but he didn't know if the other party wanted him.
Soon, Li Xiongzhi was helping the village, and Zhu Gaochi arranged all the people and goods brought back by Li Xiao.
When Zhu Gaochi saw so much raw silk, his eyes widened.
Brother-in-law, is he going to open a workshop?
Can I buy a share by then?
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi immediately ran back to his room, took out the Xiaoqinggan that someone else gave him, but he couldn't bear to drink, and prepared to reward Li Xiao and others.
The main house of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun, Li Xiao, Gao Xu, Gao Sui and others gathered together happily and were talking about all kinds of interesting things that had happened during the two months since they went south.
During this trip to Jiangnan, I visited various places.
Zhu Ningyun showed her paintings of beautiful scenery for everyone to enjoy.
"Beautiful, so beautiful. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River is really interesting."
Xu Miaoyun admired the painting and greatly appreciated it, "My mother is old and cannot leave because of things, otherwise I would definitely go and play with you kids."
"Mother, if we have a chance in the future, let's go there again."
Zhu Ningyun smiled.
"Uh-huh."
Xu Miaoyun nodded: "Your father and I have been to the land south of the Yangtze River. It is indeed picturesque and much better than Peiping. It is good for you to go there. After all, there will be few opportunities to go out in the future. Especially Gao Suihe Gao Xu, it will be even more impossible for him to leave once he is granted the title of Duke."
"Li Xiao, your suggestion is really good."
Zhu Di also had a smile on his face and looked at Li Xiao and said: "I was worried at first, but seeing that Ning Yun is in such a cheerful mood now, it's all your credit."
Li Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, King Yan, this is Li Xiao's responsibility. Ningyun had been bored at home for a long time, so I thought of taking her out to relax. In fact, during this trip, I admire Ningyun even more. , The tiger father has no dog daughter, Ningyun is never afraid when things happen outside."
Zhu Di smiled and nodded.
Zhu Gaoxu also said: "Yes, father, you haven't seen that when we encounter injustice, my sister's gesture of drawing the sword should be the same as that of my father. When we fight against Lan Nao'er, it is my sister who makes the decision. She is very powerful." Na."
Zhu Gaosui also praised: "My sister is already like a mother and concubine!"
This compliment made Zhu Ningyun feel embarrassed.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu told the story of his trip to eliminate bandits and fight against the evil forces one by one, adding more fuel and jealousy to the story, making it thrilling.
Talking and talking.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu let out a sigh and said: "Father, why do you feel that you have known these things for a long time? Do you also know about the pressure cooker? The phonograph?"
ah.
Zhu Di was embarrassed. He couldn't say that he had planted a spy, Zhu Gaosui, right?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui coughed twice and said, "It's Ye Bugui. My father is worried about our safety, so he sent Ye Bugui to follow us and protect us."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded doubtfully.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi walked in and smiled: "Come, I have prepared the best tea for everyone. This tea is so expensive and fragrant that I can't bear to drink it. I am happy to give it to everyone to taste."
He was busy making tea and asked Mrs. Zhang to pour tea for everyone.
The aroma of tea filled the whole room, giving it a familiar feeling.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Several people took the tea cup and tasted it. It felt completely familiar.
Zhu Di took a sip and said, "What a wonderful tea. I have never seen such a fragrant tea. Why didn't you bring out such a good thing earlier?"
Zhu Gaochi explained: "Dad, there are not many good things here. I just wait for everyone to come back and taste them."
Xu Miaoyun also nodded: "It is indeed good tea, with a unique flavor."
Zhu Gaoxu frowned and took a sip. It was indeed a familiar feeling.
He asked doubtfully: "Brother, isn't this tea of yours called Xiao Qinggan?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Hey, how do you know about Xiaoqinggan, my second brother? This is the fairy grass version of Xiaoqinggan! It's the best! Brother, I can't even bear to drink it, so I specially kept it for you to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
Li Xiao: "."
Zhu Gaoxu: "."
Zhu Gaosui: "."
Zhu Ningyun: "."
Everyone moved in unison, with teacups hanging on their lips.
Zhu Gaochi asked curiously: "Why don't you drink?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "To be honest, this tea is made by us. Maybe your little green tangerine was filled by Gao Xu and Gao Sui themselves."
Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaochi: "????"
"This is impossible."
Zhu Gaochi said: "This little green tangerine fairy grass version is a good product that has been stored for twenty years. Twenty years ago, you were not born yet."
Li Xiao and others: "."
"Your Majesty, let's not drink this tea in the future. It's unhealthy."
Li Xiao chuckled: "Especially Gao Sui, he kept having diarrhea along the way. After he had diarrhea, he came back to drink tea. Maybe he didn't even wash his hands."
Puff puff--
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun immediately spit out the tea.
Zhu Gaochi said in surprise: "You can really do it?"
Li Xiao nodded and said: "As for the twenty-year sealing, that's all nonsense we made up to defraud those wealthy businessmen out of their money."
Zhu Gaochi was completely stunned, and after a long time he said: "Oh my, you guys are really good at making money. This tea was given to me by others. It cost me thirty taels per catty to get a few kilograms. The supply exceeds the demand. "
Speaking of which.
Zhu Di suddenly became interested, turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and said:
"Gao Xu, the experiences you just mentioned were very exciting, but you didn't mention a word about this little Qinggan?"
"Ah this."
Zhu Gaoxu hesitated.
After speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui again.
As a secret agent, this guy didn't say anything about this matter at all?
Zhu Di thought for a moment and almost understood.
These two boys must have made a lot of money, right?
So, Zhu Di looked at Ningyun and said, "Ningyun, what's going on with this little green tangerine?"
Zhu Ningyun smiled, cupped his hands and said: "Father, I have to say that Xiaolang is really a business wizard. Didn't we get a batch of tea from Feng Wen in Dezhou?
I wanted to sell it, but I could only sell it for 50,000 taels of silver.
Later, Li Xiaoyi packaged the tea leaves with dried orange peels.
The tea turned into a small green mandarin orange and sold for a high price.
Earned 845,000 taels of silver.
Li Xiao and I received 57,000 taels, and Gao Xu and Gao Sui also contributed, each receiving 169,000 taels. "
When they heard the final number, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were stunned.
When I went out, not only did I spend no money, I also made more than 800,000 taels!
"You made so much money??"
Zhu Di stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhu Ningyun nodded. The reason why she said it was because she wanted her father and mother to know how powerful Li Xiao was and to enhance Li Xiao's status in the palace.
hiss!
Zhu Di took a breath of cold air.
More than 800,000 taels of silver, even for himself, the King of Yan, is a huge fortune. This is too exaggerated.
It’s only been two months! !
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu angrily and said, "Second brother, you are keeping silent because you are afraid that your father will ask you about your money?"
"Dad, I dare you. Didn't my elder brother come before we even talked about this matter?" Zhu Gaoxu explained hurriedly, sweating profusely.
At the same time, he complained in his heart, brother, if you don't come sooner or later, you little green man came at the right time.
"Second child, third child, you two are petty."
Zhu Di frowned and looked at the two of them and said, "Is your father like that? The money you earn belongs to you. Will your father reach out and ask you for it?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were overjoyed and hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Father, I know you don't value this little money."
"Of course I don't like this little money."
Zhu Di smiled and changed the topic: "However, you two haven't gotten married yet, so it's not a good thing for you to have so much money in your hands. My father is short of money recently. Is it okay for you two to lend your money to me?"
With that said, Zhu Di stretched out his hand and shook it, "Why don't you bring it quickly?"
As expected of my father, there is nothing wrong with asking for money and turning it into borrowing money!
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were completely confused.
If I borrow this, do I still have to pay it back?
