Zhu Gaojie became more and more courageous as he killed. He wielded a sword and killed all the swordsmen from all directions with unstoppable momentum. The silver blade danced like a river of stars, blooming with flowers of blood!
Fan Zhong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look at Prince Qi in a different light. He really wanted to shout: Well done! Prince Qi!
However, at this juncture, Zhu Gaojie retreated bravely, running away as if his soles were oiled!
"General Fan, hold on, I'll run away first!"
Zhu Gaojie finally saw that the old man was really ill today, and he really didn't have any hidden tricks.
What's the point of dragging this out until you die of exhaustion?
He turned around and ran away, wind blowing under his feet, leaving Fan Zhong alone dumbfounded.
Fan Zhong: Are you polite?
The wind blew under Zhu Gaojie's feet and he ran very fast. At this critical moment, his brain was running rapidly, and he finally ran in the direction of Zhu Di.
"General Fan cover me!"
Zhu Gaojie wants to take Zhu Di with him!
Not because of how loyal and patriotic he is at this moment, but because...
There were too many people surrounding and suppressing them. Only by protecting Zhu Di's safety could Fan Zhong risk his life to withstand all the pressure.
This little abacus is making a snap!
Zhu Gaojie stood in front of Zhu Di with a knife, killed the approaching enemy with a sharp knife, and protected Zhu Di's retreat.
When the swordsmen saw that the old thief Zhu Di was actually trying to escape, they rushed towards him with red eyes.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
I saw Fan Zhong suddenly charging over, like a ferocious beast, blocking the enemies who wanted to chase Zhu Gaojie!
At this moment, General Fan has long disregarded life and death, and is waving wildly with his knife. He has only one thought in his mind - to escort him away!
As long as Zhu Gaojie can retreat safely with Zhu Di and wait for his own troops to realize that something is wrong and come to rescue him, even if he, Fan Zhong, dies here, he can go away with peace of mind.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the person who was assassinated was obviously Zhu Di, but he was always the safest person.
…
After Zhu Gaojie and Zhu Di withdrew, Fan Zhong took a deep breath.
He is ready to die for his country!
Because Zhu Di ran away, the swordsmen were so angry that they wanted to pull out the muscles and bones of Fan Zhong who stayed behind!
However, at this moment, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats, and a huge mass of Mongolian cavalry came over to kill them. It was Fengziying!
The pro-soldiers realized something was wrong and rushed to help!
In front of the most elite Fengzi Battalion, the swordsmen were crushed like paper. The cavalry of Fengzi Battalion were as ferocious as wolves in a flock of sheep, and they slaughtered the swordsmen in an instant!
"Where is the Emperor! Where is Prince Qi!"
Chirong stared at Fan Zhong fiercely.
It's numb! If the emperor dies here, they will all be buried with him!
Fan Zhong gasped for air and hurriedly pointed in the direction the two left: "Go quickly! King Qi is taking the emperor that way!"
"Wait a moment……"
After Zhu Zhanji, who had been hiding under the horse corpse until now, confirmed that there was no danger, he weakly raised his hand to signal, "I'm still alive..."
Fan Zhong was stunned for a moment. He thought that His Highness the Emperor's Grandson had been chopped into pieces with random knives.
In that chaotic situation, everyone's target was Zhu Di. The swordsmen wanted to kill Zhu Di, the pro-soldiers wanted to protect Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaojie wanted to use Zhu Di to escape. No one noticed Zhu Zhanji's figure.
Fan Zhong thought for a moment and made an immediate decision: "First escort His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun back to the camp. The fourth battalion of the pro-army army will block the mountains and search for the Emperor and King Qi with all our strength!"
…
A sudden heavy rain disrupted everything.
In the cave under the rock wall, a faint fire was lit, illuminating the damp cave covered with moss. Zhu Gaojie and Zhu Di sat by the bonfire to keep warm.
Zhu Gaojie cast his gaze toward the rain curtain outside the cave. The sound of wind and rain blocked all sounds.
"It should be that the sky is full of wild clouds, and the ink color dances into smoke in a moment."
Zhu Gaojie was leisurely and contented, and recited a poem, "Thousands of cups of fine wine are poured thousands of miles away, and the wind is used to paint the world."
Zhu Di chuckled and said, "Are you still in the mood to recite poetry?"
Zhu Gaojie said calmly: "Wouldn't it be a pity not to recite a poem about this situation?"
Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Who do you think wants to kill me?"
Zhu Gaojie was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhu Di to ask this suddenly.
Who wants to kill Zhu Di?
There are so many people who want to kill Zhu Di!
For example, after the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di usurped the throne and Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen disappeared. Although Zhu Di tried every means to find traces of Emperor Jianwen, he found nothing. There were countless old ministers who supported Emperor Jianwen, and they killed one batch after another. However, the old ministers of Jianwen who were hiding in the darkness were always thinking about overthrowing Zhu Di and letting Emperor Jianwen sit on the throne again.
Another example is the White Lotus Sect, which originated from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. Although it was suppressed countless times, it never stopped rebelling. However, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang strictly banned the White Lotus Sect, but it was of no use. During the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties, there were many uprisings and rebellions by the White Lotus sects in Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places, and some even claimed the title of emperor, but they were all suppressed.
If Zhu Di dies suddenly and suddenly, the world will be in chaos. This is the situation that the White Lotus Sect is most looking forward to.
"Prince." Zhu Gaojie shrugged, "The assassins were so precise in their ambush and were hiding under the pro-army's noses to carry out the assassination. They must be well aware of the internal information of the Northern Patrol pro-army. It is even very likely that there are generals within the pro-army who are cooperating inside and outside. He can do it. At this point, most of the suspects can be eliminated. In this way, the most likely candidates are the prince who oversees the country, the King of Han who has many confidants in the army, and King Zhao of Shuntian Mansion..."
Zhu Gaojie hesitated for a moment, then said: "And me, who leads the Shanzi Camp!"
Each of the four princes, including Zhu Gaojie, is highly suspicious.
Once the emperor dies suddenly, the prince who supervises the country can legitimately ascend the throne and succeed to the throne!
If the King of Han did it, he could use the poor information to catch the prince off guard, and even usurp the country and seize the throne!
If King Zhao did it, he could rely on the geographical advantage to unify the north in the shortest time and compete in the world!
In comparison, Zhu Gaojie's suspicion was the least.
His real advantage lies in the 100,000-strong Southwest Army. If the emperor dies on the Northern Patrol Road, he who follows Zhu Di on the Northern Patrol has little chance of success. If he really wanted to rebel, he should wait until he conquered Southwest China. Besides, if he really wanted to kill the king, why would he save Zhu Di?
But during this northern inspection, Zhu Gaojie was in charge of Fengzi Camp, so he was a little suspicious after all.
He could figure it out in such a simple and clear way, and so could Zhu Di.
Now that I have spoken out, the suspicion has been cleared.
"Prince, King of Han, King of Zhao."
Zhu Di closed his eyes lightly and smiled, "They are all my good sons."
There is a rebellious and rebellious father, and there is also a rebellious and rebellious son!
"Who do you think among the three of them wants to kill me the most?"
Zhu Di suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold edge in his eyes.
This question was very pointed, and Zhu Gaojie didn't know how to answer it for a while.
