Guo Zixing, under the persuasion of Xiao Zhang, gradually relieved his doubts about Zhu Yuanzhang, and would consult Zhu Yuanzhang in case of war. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Zhu Yuanzhang also tried his best to give advice and personally led the troops to charge into battle. After going back and forth, Weng's son-in-law gradually reconciled as before, and Chuzhou returned to its former calm.

However, there was one person who looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with more and more resentment, and this person was Guo Tianxu, the eldest son of Guo. His dislike for Zhu Yuanzhang is deep-rooted, and it has not decreased because of the passage of time and the change of location, but only becomes more and more jealous, and he thinks about how to get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang all the time. When he saw that his instigation did not frame Zhu Yuanzhang, and his father still reused Zhu Yuanzhang, he became even more angry, and swore to Guo Tianjue and Zhang Tianyou more than once in private, "I must kill Zhu Yuanzhang, this little brute!" He even ordered the two to do it with him in a threatening tone.

"What if my father and other generals find out?" Guo Tianjue shuddered, although he also hated Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was not bold enough to dare to kill Zhu Yuanzhang. When he visited the barracks on the first day, he was deeply impressed by those solemn tigers, and he was afraid that these people would tear him to pieces if they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang died at his hands.

Guo Tianxu's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said coldly: "What are you afraid of? As long as we do it seamlessly and don't let our father and generals find out, it's fine." Even if my father knew, would he still kill us to pay for Zhu Yuanzhang's life? You must know that we are his own sons. ”

"But ......" Guo Tianjue was still hesitating, he was not worried about Guo Zixing, he was worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's generals.

"Fourth brother, Zhu Yuanzhang's power is too great and his prestige is too high, if we don't get rid of him, we will never come out. Guo Tianxu clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed, and he was calculating how to kill Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart.

Guo Tianjue was puzzled: "Didn't he hand over all the military power to his father? What other power does he have?" He is not as ambitious as Guo Tianxu, most of his time is spent on looking for flowers and asking willows, and he is more concerned about where the kiln sister makes people lose their souls than the major events in the army. Guo Zixing didn't plan to throw this straw bale son to the battlefield to die, he only let him get an official position in the army, and he didn't even care if he went to the barracks or not, so Guo Tianjue didn't know that there was an undercurrent surging in the barracks at all, and he just thought that everything was peaceful.

"That's just a superficial phenomenon, many generals in the military camp actually support Zhu Yuanzhang in private, even the people in the city know more about Zhu Yuanzhang than they know about his father, don't you believe it and ask your uncle and your entourage. Guo Tianxu cursed Guo Tianjue in his heart for being a fool, but he still patiently explained on his face, and it was precisely these reasons that made Guo Tianxu hate Zhu Yuanzhang, not to mention the hatred of Ma Xiuying.

"Yes, those generals disobeyed the generalissimo, and only responded to his orders. Zhang Tianyou nodded, he was also very jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart, originally in Haozhou except for the Guo family's father and son, he belonged to him the most powerful, but in Chuzhou, his prestige was far less than Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Let's hurry up and tell my father about this, don't let Zhu Yuanzhang take charge of the army again!" Guo Tianjue's face changed, if the military power was taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn't he have to go back to the kind of fearful days he lived in Haozhou.

"It's useless, Zhu Yuanzhang is well disguised, I told my father, but my father didn't believe it, and he used him more than before. Therefore, we can only rely on us to kill him ourselves to ensure that the power of the Guo family will not be sidelined. Guo Tianxu showed a hint of anger, fanned the flames and said: "Fourth brother, do you still want to be broken by someone to find a woman like before, and even dare not take a step out of the gate later? I know that you have recently fallen in love with the female head of Jingshantang, and I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had already promised her to one of his generals. If you don't get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang, don't even think about that female sect leader!"

"It's Zhu Yuanzhang again!" Guo Tianjue is not as utilitarian as Guo Tianxu in terms of power, but he is particularly interested in women, and when he arrives in Chuzhou, he will go to the women's pile to make up. I heard that there was a very beautiful female head in the Jingshan Hall organized by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he went there and fell in love with the cute and lovely Yang Yunhua on the spot. It's a pity that this woman is even more pungent than Ma Xiuying, and her subordinates are followed by a team of female soldiers, not to mention light, it is impossible to even get close. He was thinking about how to get Yang Yunhua in his hands when he heard Guo Tianxu say this, and he immediately became angry. Seeing that Li Qi'er was accepted as a concubine by Zhu Yuanzhang, and now Zhu Yuanzhang has promised Yang Yunhua to others, the revenge of taking women several times is simply uncommon. He gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, I will do what you say you should do, and I must kill Zhu Yuanzhang this time! I not only want to get Yang Yunhua in my hands, but also snatch Li Qi'er back!"

Guo Tianxu was waiting for his words, and said with a smile: "I fell out with Zhu Yuanzhang last time, and it's not good to come forward again." When you go and invite him to drink, you say that I will shake hands with him and make peace, and if you accompany him at the banquet, he will definitely come. When the time comes, we will poison the wine so that he will not be able to return......"

"That's a good idea, I'll go right away. The simple-minded Guo Tianjue happily agreed.

Guo Tianxu looked at the back of his "stupid" brother and sneered, the real reason why he didn't come forward to invite Zhu Yuanzhang to drink was that he was afraid that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his henchmen and generals would not be convinced, and found out that someone had poisoned and made things bigger. So he had already arranged a way out, and the person who showed up to invite Zhu Yuanzhang was Guo Tianjue, and the person who naturally poisoned him was also Guo Tianjue. And he was "unaware" that he and his uncle Zhang Tianyou had been discussing military and political affairs elsewhere......

Thinking of this, Guo Tianxu glanced at Zhang Tianyou proudly. There was not only excitement but also silent warning in that eye.

Zhang Tianyou immediately gritted his teeth in understanding, he is now completely Guo Tianxu's lackey. Although Guo Tianxu is ruthless and vicious, and even his half-brother has to be framed, the more scheming Guo Tianxu is, the more likely he is to take over Guo Zixing's army in the future. As for Guo Tianjue's straw bag is destined to never come out, when he agreed to invite Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Tianyou looked at his back as if he was looking at a dead man.

Guo Tianjue, who was sold and was still helping to count the money, found Zhu Yuanzhang and directly explained his intentions, "When I came to Chuzhou, my brother-in-law and I haven't gotten together yet, tonight I will have a banquet in Qingfeng Building, please enjoy the light." My eldest brother will also come, he has offended you a lot before, and wants to take this opportunity to shake hands with you. Remember, you must come, or you will look down on my brothers. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very embarrassed. Since the first day he saw Guo Tianxu, Guo Tianxu didn't give him a good look, and he tried every means to frame him all these years, but now he suddenly changed as if he wanted to hold a banquet for him and apologize, and the ghost believed it! But people invite each other under this kind of excuse, if they don't go, they don't give face, and they can't bring too many people when they go, even if they know that it's a Hongmen banquet, they can't refuse. After thinking about it, he could only agree to go to the banquet, but when he went back to the house to change his clothes, he first called Ma Xiuying to discuss the matter.

As soon as Ma Xiuying heard that it was the Guo family brothers who held a banquet, she immediately thought that there must be something wrong with it, "Starling, I suspect that there is fraud in this matter." Guo Tianjue is just a gentleman, he usually doesn't care about these people's contacts at all, and it must be Guo Tianxu who prompted him to do this. And Guo Tianxu has never been kind to our husband and wife, he is a poisonous snake, ready to bite at any time, I don't know what conspiracy he will come up with to frame you this time. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and said: "I also know that there is no good wine in wine, and there is no good banquet in the banquet, but Guo Tianjue has opened his mouth to invite, and I can't wipe my face if I don't go." ”

"Then let's bring more men. This happened too suddenly, and the shadow guard hadn't sent the news yet, Ma Xiuying didn't expect that Guo Tianxu would be crazy and planned to poison Zhu Yuanzhang directly, out of a cautious mentality, she planned to go to the banquet with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You're waiting in the house, I'll go and show up and come back. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like Guo Tianxu's covetous eyes on Ma Xiuying, and at the same time he was worried that he would be ridiculed by the Guo brothers for taking Ma Xiuying to the banquet. Besides, this is a man's party, and it is not appropriate for a woman to go.

Ma Xiuying thought about it and made sense, so she didn't stop Zhu Yuanzhang from going to the banquet, but just told him to be careful, and specially found Yuan Xing from the military camp and ordered him not to leave Zhu Yuanzhang an inch. Taking advantage of the time to give Zhu Yuanzhang a grooming appearance, she asked Xunying to immediately collect intelligence and find out the real purpose of Guo Tianxu's banquet.

After grinding like this for an hour, Xun Ying was never seen to collect information, Ma Xiuying was so anxious that she couldn't find a reason to delay, so she let him leave the house at Zhu Yuanzhang's urging. I don't know why, watching him walk out of the house, Ma Xiuying's heart seemed to be pressed by a stone and she couldn't breathe, and hurriedly chased him out to stop him.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Xing had just turned over and got on their horses, when they heard the shouting, and saw Ma Xiuying chasing after the servant, Zhu Yuanzhang rode on the horse and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Madam?"

Ma Xiuying raised her head, "Starling, I'm a little uneasy, why don't you go to the banquet." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and refused without thinking about it, "If I don't go, won't I be afraid of those two straw bales?"

"But ......" Ma Xiuying couldn't find an excuse to stop Zhu Yuanzhang from going to the banquet, but she was flustered in her heart, and she watched Zhu Yuanzhang stop talking.

"Sister, don't worry, no one can hurt my brother-in-law with me," Yuan Xing patted his chest and promised, "Unless I die first!"

Ma Xiuying scolded half angrily and half worriedly: "Don't talk nonsense! You two are not allowed to have anything!"

Yuan Xing stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak again.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ma Xiuying panicked, frowned together, suddenly jumped off the horse, stepped forward and laughed: "Madame, don't worry, they don't dare to act rashly in broad daylight, I will definitely return safely, and we will ......work again when we come back."

"I hate it!" Ma Xiuying couldn't cry or laugh, who was in the mood to think about those who didn't have at this time.

The sound of the horse's hooves gradually drifted away, Ma Xiuying returned to the house, stood in the garden anxiously waiting for information, her mood was always calm, she thought about it, and ordered a few shadow guards to quietly follow Zhu Yuanzhang, since she couldn't stop Zhu Yuanzhang from going to the banquet, she could only protect him secretly.
