The dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of whom is different.
Zhu Biao was kind by nature, but Zhu Ping was extremely cruel.
He is so cruel that he often takes pleasure in killing people.
After he was named King of Qin, he liked to abuse lynching.
For example, cutting out a person's tongue, burying the person in the snow and freezing to death, tying the person to a tree to starve to death, burning to death with fire, etc.
All this is just for him to pass the time and have fun when he is bored.
For this reason, Lao Zhu, who had always loved him very much, once scolded him as "ignorant and as stupid as an animal."
In addition, Zhu Xi is also very bold.
How big is it?
He dared to make a dragon bed for himself and dress his wife in the clothes of a queen.
Now, Zhu Ping decided to use the boldest, simplest and most direct method to deal with those who might compete with him for the throne.
Kill Zhu Yunzhen!
Zhu Yunzhen was invited by Zhu Di to go out to the city for hunting. When he died, Zhu Di could not escape the blame.
In this way, two competitors were eliminated in one fell swoop.
Of course, Zhu Xi is not a fool.
He still knows how to leave a way out for himself.
Therefore, the people who attacked and killed Zhu Yunxian were not members of the Prince of Qin's palace, but the Wu family, a powerful businessman from Jiangnan.
…
Wu Mansion.
Several stewards of the Wu family are here.
"You said, let us attack and kill His Highness the Fourth Emperor?"
Wu Wanggeng, the head of the Wu family, looked at the envoy from the King of Qin who came, his voice full of shock.
"good!"
The envoy sent by Zhu Xiang nodded.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has said that if this matter comes to pass, the Wu family will be granted the title of Marquis in the future."
Wu Wanggeng shook his head and said: "My Wu family is just hanging on for a living. It's enough to keep the current family business. I don't expect to be granted the title of marquis or prime minister."
"Assassinating His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, is a crime punishable by execution."
"I……"
Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the envoy of King Qin.
"What? Wu Wanggeng, do you still want to refuse?"
"Don't forget your Wu family's identity."
"Now Bu Sibei is still in the prison of Yingtian Mansion because he collided with Zhu Yunzhen."
"What is the relationship between your Wu family and the Bu family, and what is their origin? You don't need me to tell you, right?"
"Zhu Yunzhen has received the order to strictly interrogate Bu Sibei. If he finds out your identity and origins, can your Wu family's family fortune be preserved?"
"Now we're going to pull out all the firepower and kill Zhu Yunxuan, so that you guys can be relieved of their crisis."
"If not, His Majesty will not be able to spare you without His Majesty the King of Qin taking action... hmph..."
The messenger didn't say anything more, but the meaning was self-evident.
After a while, the messenger said again:
"Don't your Wu family also have a group of desperadoes? Just send them there. Even if the court traces them, they won't be able to find anything about your Wu family."
Wu Wanggeng's expression changed again and again, and he remained silent.
After a long time, he finally made up his mind and his face became ferocious.
"Okay, I will make arrangements immediately. We must kill Zhu Yunzhen before he returns to Jinling City."
…
On the carriage, Zhu Yunzhen came back from his thoughts, lowered the curtains, and looked at Xu Miaojin, who was sleeping soundly.
"How can you fall asleep on such a bumpy road? It's really..."
He smiled and shook his head.
The carriages of this era did not have the shock absorption system of later generations.
Although the road is paved with blue bricks, it is far from as smooth as a cement road.
The carriage started to move, bumping and bumping.
Zhu Yunzhen couldn't sleep anyway, but he could only admire Xu Miaojin for sleeping so soundly.
"Hey, wait!"
Zhu Yunzhen suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Xu Miaojin slept too hard, not like falling asleep normally.
He reached out and touched it, only to find that her forehead was burning.
"Is this little girl sick?"
Zhu Yunxuan was startled and immediately found a wound on Xu Miaojin's half-open chest.
The area around the wound was slightly black, as if it was poisonous.
However, the wound had been simply treated and medicine was applied.
It may be that the weather was too hot and there was no bandage, but it probably wouldn't be life-threatening.
"He is really naughty and strong-tempered."
Zhu Yunzhen had already guessed that Xu Miaojin might not be as relaxed as she said when she went to get the jade pendant back.
The two sides may have fought against each other, and Xu Miaojin was injured because of this.
She had been holding back the pain before and didn't show it at all.
The little girl is so stubborn.
"Stop the car!" Zhu Yunxuan ordered: "Send someone to the best medical center in the city immediately and ask for a doctor."
Xu Miaojin's injury was actually unbearable and she needed to rest.
As for her own simple handling, Zhu Yunzhen was not at ease.
There are not even antibiotics in this era. The weather is hot right now, and bacteria can easily breed. Once the wound becomes infected, the consequences will be disastrous.
Immediately a guard was ordered to go.
Time passed by, and in the middle of the afternoon, a carriage came across the road.
"Ying'er, why are you here?"
Looking at the people getting off the carriage, Zhu Yunzhen was stunned for a moment.
"My servant has been waiting at the city gate early in the morning. Your Highness has not returned yet. I am worried, so I came over to take a look. Fortunately, Your Highness is fine."
Zhu Yunxuan laughed dumbly and said: "I just went out to the city to hunt with my fourth uncle. What can happen? You are too worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.
boom!
The sound of a bow string sounded.
A sharp arrow shot straight at him.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Ying'er's face changed drastically and she rushed towards Zhu Yunxu.
Use your own body to firmly protect his young body.
It's too late, but it's soon.
Stab!
The sharp arrow flew quickly and penetrated into Ying'er's heart.
thump!
She fell heavily to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground.
"Ying'er!"
Zhu Yunzhen's expression changed drastically and he screamed.
"kill!"
Dozens of men in black sprang out from the dense forest not far away.
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect His Royal Highness!"
The guards were all shocked and immediately fell into a fierce battle.
Zhu Yunxuan traveled incognito this time and did not bring many guards with him.
Although all of them are masters, it is difficult for them to beat four hands with two fists.
Soon, all the famous guards fell into a pool of blood.
Before dying, they also killed most of the assassins in black, but they were still unable to save their lives.
Zhu Yunzhen did not panic or run away. He just sat quietly in front of Ying'er's body, looking at Ying'er who was still looking at her and protecting her until her death, and two lines of clear tears rolled out.
Ying'er gets along with her day and night, but he doesn't understand Ying'er.
She is a maid, and she is also a person of flesh and blood.
She would rather die than let His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor suffer any harm.
Perhaps, this is her belief in life.
Zhu Yunzhen raised his head and looked at the man in black approaching step by step.
With his current small body, it is impossible to escape.
"go to hell!"
A man in black roared and slashed with a knife.
Uh-huh!
A sword light rose from inside the carriage.
Xu Miaojin's figure flew out.
A sword penetrated the man's throat.
"Why are you still dazed? Hurry up and drive the carriage. Let's go!"
The next moment, Xu Miaojin suddenly picked up his body and threw him into the carriage.
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
Xu Miaojin's sword is fast and fierce.
One sword can harvest a life.
But just a few sword blows almost exhausted all her energy.
Although she is strong, she is only an eleven or twelve year old girl after all.
After running around a lot last night and being injured, the number of swords he could draw was the limit.
On the carriage, Zhu Yunzhen came back to his senses and started to whip his horse!
"drive!"
He whipped the horse hard.
The carriage suddenly rushed forward, facing the few remaining assassins in black.
"boarding!"
When passing by Xu Miaojin, he shouted at Xu Miaojin, whose body was already crumbling.
Xu Miaojin's figure suddenly rose from the ground, and in mid-air, he turned back with a sword and killed the man in black who was pursuing him.
With a bang, her body fell heavily on the carriage, and she fainted.
"Snapped!"
Zhu Yunxuan used all his strength to whip the horse hard again.
Angry horses gallop.
The carriage galloped straight towards Jinling City.
…
