Military camp in the western suburbs outside Peking City.
Zhou Shu was watching the scene happening in front of him with a gloomy expression.
He never thought that as an imperial eunuch and carrying His Majesty the Emperor's imperial edict, these damn warrior Qiu Ba would dare to prevent him from entering the military camp!
Zhou Shu led five hundred forbidden troops and headed straight to the military camp in the western suburbs. He wanted to take advantage of Zhu Di's madness and directly transfer the three guards from Yanshan to Kaiping to guard the border, without giving Zhu Di any chance to breathe.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the military camp with his people, he was immediately surrounded by people.
That's right, they were immediately surrounded and couldn't advance or retreat!
Swords are coming out of the body, there are many spears, and the swords are at war!
Looking at the three soldiers in front of him, Zhou Shu knew very well that they were not joking!
Therefore, the great eunuch Zhou Shu directly revealed his identity and even took out the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor, but it was of no use!
However, the three guards seemed to be incomprehensible and were completely indifferent.
This horrifying scene scared Zhou Shu to the point where cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
Maybe everyone thought wrong. The extent of Yan King Zhu Di's control over the border troops was far beyond their imagination!
The two sides faced off for a long time without giving in at all.
"Our family is the eunuch Zhou Shu!"
"According to the decree of His Majesty the Emperor, the three guards of King Yan are dispatched to Kaiping to prepare for the border defense against the enemy!"
"What do you want to do? Do you still want to rebel? Why don't you retreat quickly!"
Zhou Shu shouted loudly again, with an extremely harsh tone.
I have to admit that the name of His Majesty the Emperor is still very useful.
After all, this is the Ming Dynasty. Except for Su Yang, the common people at the bottom have a deep-rooted fear of the Emperor Tianjia, and these soldiers are no exception.
So when Zhou Shu finished speaking, there was a commotion among the three guards.
They started talking in low voices, as if they really understood what he said.
After the discussion, all the soldiers turned to look at a burly man.
This man was wearing heavy armor, his face was as black as iron, and he was extremely tall. Just standing there, he made people feel the murderous intent!
Zhou Shu glanced at the burly man, more cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and subconsciously looked away.
This is a real butcher and executioner, and at least hundreds of people have died in his hands!
The burly man grinned and spoke angrily.
"The right guard deputy Qianhu of a certain family in Yanshan, Tan Yuan!"
"Tan Yuan, right? Let me remind you to retreat quickly, don't make any mistakes..."
Zhou Shuyi ordered in an arrogant manner, obviously looking stern and angry.
However, his threatening words made Tan Yuan furious!
"Damn eunuch, if you say one more thing, believe it or not, a certain family will chop off your dog's head!"
"He's just a eunuch without eggs, why are you pretending to be such a big deal!"
As soon as these words came out, the three guards and soldiers all burst into laughter. Zhou Shu's face turned the color of pig liver, and he stared at Tan Yuan with hatred in his eyes.
What do eunuchs fear most?
Of course, others call them defective people without eggs.
You must know that "there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an offspring." If there were other choices, who would be willing to take that knife and become a physically mutilated eunuch?
Therefore, what Tan Yuan just said undoubtedly touched Zhou Shu's anger.
Ever since he entered the East Palace to accompany his grandson Zhu Yunwen, no one has dared to talk to him like this, let alone insult him in person like this!
"Damn you man!"
"Kill him for our family!"
Zhou Shu was so angry that he lost his mind and wanted to kill someone with a wave of his hand!
When the five hundred Forbidden Army soldiers heard this, they could only draw their swords and look around with eager eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and a bloody battle would break out between the two sides if they were not careful!
At this moment, a loud shout rang out.
"Everyone stop it!"
Everyone looked for the sound and saw a person walking towards them.
This man was wearing a general's armor, his face was cold and resolute, and his eyes were particularly bright.
"Zhu Neng, deputy Qianhu of the guards in Yanshan, has met Eunuch Zhou!"
Zhu Neng spoke calmly, which relieved the tense atmosphere previously.
"Oh, finally here comes someone who understands human language!"
Zhou Shu sneered and talked about business again.
"Let us say it again, the emperor's decree is here. The three guards from Yanshan will be immediately transferred to Kaiping to prepare for the border defense!"
Zhu Neng had no expression on his face and did not accept the order. Instead, he asked a question.
"Eunuch Zhou, may I ask your Royal Highness, Prince Yan, if you want to go?"
"Zhu Neng, what do you mean?" Zhou Shu's expression changed.
"The Three Guards of Yanshan are the personal guards given to His Highness King Yan by Taizu!"
Zhu Neng's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly: "The responsibility of the three guards of Yanshan is to protect the safety of His Highness King Yan, not to prepare for border defense!"
"If His Highness, King Yan, does not go to Kaiping, then forgive us for not being able to obey!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shu's face was extremely gloomy, and then he was so angry that he sneered.
"How brave!"
"You, these rebellious officials and traitors, are so courageous!"
"Your Majesty's imperial edict is in front of you, and you dare to resist and disobey it. Do you really want to rebel?"
Facing Zhou Shu's harsh scolding, Zhu Neng remained calm.
"Oh, Eunuch Zhou is serious!"
"We will obey the orders of Emperor Taizu Gao. What's wrong with us?"
"On the contrary, it is really puzzling why His Majesty the New Emperor has repeatedly violated Taizu's orders!"
"Traitor!" Zhou Shu was furious to the extreme, "How dare you..."
"Eunuch, if you say one more thing, I will kill you!"
Tan Yuan suddenly shouted loudly, and Zhou Shu was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth.
This person is so fierce and terrifying that no one dares to look directly at him.
Seeing this situation, the Imperial Army soldiers were helpless.
As the saying goes, "If a soldier is cowardly, he will be cowardly to the whole group." The opponent's general is brave and domineering, but his own general is a timid eunuch. How can we fight?
Hit a hammer!
What a coward without eggs!
"Eunuch Zhou!"
"If you don't want to provoke a mutiny, please retreat!"
Zhu Neng spoke and gave the other party a step up.
In the end, Zhou Shu led his soldiers and horses away in despair, not even having the courage to say harsh words.
Zhu Neng and Tan Yuan arrived at the Chinese army's tent, their tone seemed quite relaxed.
Zhu Gaoxu was chatting with Zhang Yu and smiled when he saw the two of them coming in.
Zhang Yu is a majestic man with slightly gray hair on his temples and a bearded Chinese character. He has a temperament that no ordinary person can imitate.
Different from the descendants of veteran generals such as Zhu Neng and Tan Yuan, Zhang Yu served as an official in the Privy Council of Meng and Yuan Dynasties. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Later, he followed the King of Yan Zhu Di to the fortress to fight. Due to his meritorious service, he was transferred to the left guard of Yanshan and served as a commander and commander. Three guards of Yanshan.
Zhang Yu was brave and resourceful in battle, and gradually gained Zhu Di's attention. Among the generals of the Yan army, "Zhang Yu was good at planning, and Zhu Neng was good at fighting", and was relied on by King Zhu Di as his right-hand man.
This time, Zhu Gaoxu came to the military camp one step ahead and informed the court that he might take action against the three guards of Yanshan.
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng made a response plan after a brief discussion, so what happened before happened.
"Second Young Master, don't worry!"
"The three guards are the prince's three guards!"
"The three guards of Yanshan swear allegiance to His Highness King Yan to the death!"
