Everyone in the private room was startled, and Zhu Su thought to himself: That's right! Before, I had only thought that this liar might be a thug, but I never thought, what would these people do in taking the risk to come to Yingtian Mansion?
Even if he really deceived Zhu Tiezhu, he became a guest. The Jingjiang Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. Even if he deceives the property, how much can he take with two hands? The king of Jingjiang has great favor. If he is wronged, he can immediately mobilize soldiers to encircle and suppress him.
If he was looking for money, why would he bother to tease this tiger's beard?
Could it be that he is here to kill people? But although King Jingjiang has a solitary temperament, he is just a careless young man. Is there any need for a quick blood feud?
Could it be that his original intention was to gain the trust of King Jingjiang, or...
Are you interested in Peigong?
No matter which possibility it is, it has a lot to do with it!
"Uh..." Li Jinglong forced a smile and smoothed things over: "No matter what, this guy's deception has been discovered by the fifth uncle. Even if he is really bold, he can't make any waves."
"The rest can be left to the soldiers patrolling the city. The uncles can enjoy themselves here as much as they like!"
"Jiujiang is absolutely right." Zhu Xi also composed himself and said: "Lao Wu, you have done a great job in seeing through that fellow's conspiracy!"
"We brothers don't need to worry about the rest. I'll tell dad later and he will take care of it."
So everyone dropped the matter and didn't mention it. Li Jinglong was born to be all-rounded, and he also wanted to get close to him. He said a few humorous words, and the atmosphere in the Accord became warm again.
Zhu Su and others had been in the palace for a long time, so Li Jinglong told some anecdotes about the market, which really attracted the attention of the four of them.
While eating and talking, the sun was setting unknowingly. When Zhu Xi looked at the sky outside, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it's already this hour! Come on, come on, second child, third child, we have to return to the palace as soon as possible."
"Today is our first time off. If we miss the palace ban, dad will definitely not let us out of the palace in the future!"
Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were startled. The three of them stood up in a hurry and rushed into the city and back to the palace. Zhu Su stopped him and said, "Do the three brothers want to enter the palace directly? We were in plain clothes when we came out, and we didn't bring many guards with us. It's better to go back to the eldest brother first and let the guards of the Prince's Palace escort you back to the palace, then it's safe!"
"When we meet eldest brother in person, let him call the guards. The day lily is cold! Why bother? Let Jiujiang ask someone to set up a car for us. We can just go back to the palace." Zhu Xi said.
"Yes. The palace is strictly forbidden. It's not a joke. This Yingtian City is under the emperor's feet, what can happen?" Zhu Fan also said.
Zhu Su was still worried. To put it bluntly, my brothers are just teenagers. The book says that the white dragon fish is dressed in a suit, and he is sleepy. They are all very important, how can they not bring guards?
After saying that, they asked six guards from the Gongwei Division to escort them back to the palace, but the three of them were worried about Zhu Su's safety. It was Li Jinglong who came to the rescue: "The three uncles will go with their own guards, and the fifth uncle will be sent back to His Highness the Crown Prince's residence by me, my nephew!"
This method is quite safe. Zhu Fan nodded and said: "That's very good. Jiujiang is a disciple of the general, and these people around him are probably also warriors of Cao Guogong's mansion. We can feel relieved that Lao Wu has them escorting him."
So the two groups of people separated outside Shanliu Tower. Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di were escorted by six guards from the Gongwei Division to the palace city. Zhu Su, on the other hand, was protected by Li Jinglong and the servants of the Li family, and headed to the Prince's Mansion.
"My fifth uncle is a scholar of heaven and earth. It's really an honor for my nephew to be able to ask for advice for a few more moments." In the Li family's carriage, Li Jinglong poured a bowl of tea for Zhu Su. "I heard that in the past, the imperial court said that when the entire Northern Expedition army was wiped out, it was my fifth uncle who spoke uprightly and made some inferences, confirming that my father and Marshal Xu would be fine."
"These words not only appease the Xu family, but also eliminate a lot of chaos for my Li family. My nephew has not yet thanked my fifth uncle..."
"Oh?" Zhu Su also didn't expect that his casual words of comfort to Xu Miaoyun that day would actually reach the ears of the Li family. He took the bowl of tea and asked casually: "Are there those messy things in the Li family's house?"
"...Yes." Li Jinglong nodded with a wry smile. "My family's population was originally simple, but after it developed, many surviving relatives of the Li family came to seek refuge."
"They thought my father was dead, so they fanned the flames of my grandfather and tried to gain benefits. Fortunately, my grandfather was sober, so the family was not completely in chaos."
"That's it." Zhu Su nodded. Clan relatives acting as monsters have been the most common thing in ancient times. I think the Xu family was generally like this at that time. After all, the situation of the Xu family is worse than that of the Li family. After Uncle Xu Da went to war, the immediate family of the Xu family was composed of women and children...
No wonder Xu Miaoyun cried so sadly that day. It must have been chaos in the clan, and someone was bullying their young and widowed mother.
The two were talking when suddenly Zhu Su felt the carriage shake, Ma Xilulu screamed as he was being pulled, and blood spattered on the door curtain!
Outside, a slave of the Li family shouted loudly: "Who! How dare you ram into Duke Cao's car!"
Li Jinglong and Zhu Su were both shocked when they heard the clash of swords and the sound of killing shouts outside. Zhu Su was shocked: "What? There are assassins?"
He reached out to lift the curtain, but Li Jinglong hurriedly grabbed him: "Uncle Wu, please don't mess around! If there is a sharpshooter outside, wouldn't it be known to the enemy if he shows his head?"
What he said made sense, and Zhu Su quickly gave up the idea of looking outside. He opened his mouth and asked:
"Has Mr. Cao Guo provoked any mortal enemies outside? Someone actually attacked and killed the carriage of Mr. Guo Guo outside Yingtian City?"
"My nephew doesn't know either! But my father followed His Majesty on his expeditions to the north and south, and he killed not only a thousand but also eight hundred well-connected people."
"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle! My guards are all elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time! Fifth Uncle, please hide here with me for a while. I, Duke Cao, will not let the assassins hurt you at all!" Li Jinglong pulled Zhu Su and lay on the floor of the carriage. Up, whispered.
Hearing him say that there were elite soldiers outside who had been trained for a long time, Zhu Su felt relieved. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the military preparedness was not depleted. If the soldiers were elite, they would be fine in the face of hidden assassins.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to memorize words while walking today. I'll just memorize them wherever I go." Zhu Su smiled bitterly.
Li Jinglong smiled awkwardly. He also couldn't figure out how an assassin could suddenly attack his Li family's carriage, and why his fifth uncle would be the one to bear the brunt of the attack.
The two of them lay in the carriage and listened carefully to the movement outside. After about a cup of tea, there was gradually no movement outside. Li Jinglong smiled and said: "My guards must have killed all the assassins!"
After saying that, he supported Zhu Su and sat up proudly.
However, before my butt hit the mat, I heard someone outside the carriage say coldly: "Are you, the son of the false emperor of the Zhu family, hiding in the carriage and acting like a tortoise? Why don't you let me get out of here, grandpa?"
"...Huh?" Li Jinglong's triumphant expression instantly turned to stone.
