63. Onslaught
As early as after Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, met the charming Wang girl and fell in love at first sight, Zhu Di, who was the elder brother, couldn't rest assured and asked Mao Xiang to carefully check the details of the Wang family.
The Wang family, like the Yao family, were wealthy families who migrated to Jinling City from other places on the orders of the emperor, and their ancestral home was an unknown small county town in Shanxi, and the road was far away. Mao Xiang successively sent three waves of secret agents from the Duwei Mansion to investigate his hometown in Shanxi.
This investigation is three months, and Zhu Hu has already fallen in love with Miss Wang, chatting about me and me. Early this morning, the seriously injured spy finally returned to Jinling City, saying that the father and daughter of the Wang family on the household registration had already died in a fire, and that Jinling City was an imposter with ill intentions.
After finding out their identities, the spies encountered various interceptions and killings along the way, a total of more than 100 people went out, and only one disabled spy cheated to death, and pretended to be a beggar and returned to Jinling City alive.
Mao Xiang was shocked when he heard this, Zhu Di happened to be investigating the case of Ji Mingmen Tianjiao Demon Sect rebelling against the party, and the two hurried to Baihetang to protect Zhou Wang Zhu Hu, and sent another wave of soldiers to the spice shop to arrest the Wang family.
Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late, and the Wang family happened to plan to design and start today, clamp King Zhou as a hostage, and exchange it for the eight thorns bought by the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
The two sides pinched each other's key handles in their hands, and exchanged the prince for the prince, and the deal was fair.
The Wang family is a pawn buried in Jinling City by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, loyal to the descendants of Genghis Khan, the Golden Family, they came to Jinling City with the Wang family's household registration book, and inquired about the information from the palace eyeliner, saying that the fifth prince Zhu Hu pretended to be a doctor and sat in the Baihetang of the second brocade workshop.
There is no better way to deal with an innocent and innocent young man like Zhu Hu than a beauty trick.
What was robbed by bandits and injured by an arrow, separated from her family when she fled, etc., are all deliberately designed lies, and even the poison of the aconitum on the arrow was quenched by herself.
Zhu Hu really hit the plan, lost in the gentle township, carried away by love, even if the Wang family occasionally showed flaws, they turned a blind eye.
After that, Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guo, made a triumphant northern expedition and captured the Liba Thorn bought by the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to Jinling City. The Wang family received an order from above to rescue the son.
The original plan of the Wang family was to use the Beiyuan spies who pretended to be monkeys to spread the word, release a secret signal to contact the eight thorns they bought, and do it in Baihetang.
In order to confuse the real with the fake, Miss Wang's ankle was heavily stepped on by the Queen Mother when she was watching the monkey show, and she played a bitter trick.
The two of them supported the "girl" to Baihetang for help, and brought all kinds of heavy New Year's goods, that is, it was expected that Zhu Hu would feel sorry for Wang Yinnu and go back with their family of three in person.
Baihetang Afu was bedridden, it must have been Zhu Hu who personally helped to carry the New Year's goods, and once the carriage left the second brocade workshop, the queen mother would find an excuse to go to Xuanzhenguan outside the city to offer incense to her daughter and pray for blessings, and asked Zhu Hu to drive the carriage out of the city all the time, and beat him unconscious and captured him in a remote place on the edge of the city.
At this time, the bought Li Eight Thorns also found an excuse to go to Xuan Zhen to watch the plum blossoms, and the secret agents of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would lead away the Ming Dynasty guards who followed, and the Li Eight Thorns that were bought got out of here, and the Wang family who captured Zhu Hu would make peace, and took Zhu Hu as a hostage, and held him hostage all the way to leave the Ming Dynasty and return to the Northern Yuan.
This plan can be called perfect - if Yao Miaoyi doesn't jump out halfway, if Zhu Di and Mao Xiang have been kept in the dark.
Zhu Hu was so affectionate to Miss Wang that she had to deign to ask Yao Miaoyi to help her take a look at the flesh and skin, but Yao Miaoyi took Miss Wang hostage and confronted the eight thorns she bought, as well as the royal father and queen mother.
Yao Miaoyi aimed the tip of the hairpin at Wang Yinnu's throat and forced the queen mother back.
Zhu Hu, who was locked in his throat by a scimitar, looked at Wang Yinnu steadily, his face was first shocked and disappointed, and then his eyes were gloomy, as if something had suddenly collapsed in his heart, and his face was like ashes:
"Tone slave...... You...... You lied to me. ”
Wang Yinnu burst into tears, instantly moistened his clothes, and said three words over and over again, "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. ”
Zhu Di felt sorry for his younger brother and said: "Fifth brother, don't be coaxed by this demon girl, if she really felt half guilty, she would have warned you a long time ago, and now she has come up with this bitter plan to lead you out of the city, and she clearly wants to kill you!" ”
After all, Zhu Huan was young, and was betrayed by his first love's family, and was immediately heartbroken, ignoring his brother's advice, and there was still only Wang Yinnu who was crying in his eyes, and even his voice was choked, "What the hell are you...... Is there a single word of those words that is true? ”
Wang Yinnu's voice was crying, "I'...... I'm sorry...... It's that I can't live with you. ”
The queen mother snorted coldly and said: "Yin slave, you don't have to be soft-hearted, and you don't have to feel guilty, if this King of Zhou really likes you, why does he keep hiding his identity and never mention marriage?" It's just that seeing your good color, I have a heart to play! In the eyes of men, there is only power and a rich future, and the future princesses of the Zhu family must be the daughters of high-ranking officials and ministers, who will marry a commoner woman as a princess? Isn't it self-destructive? ”
Zhu Hu said: "Yinnu, my oath under the moon is true, I have to medicine in this life, determined to learn from Shennong to taste herbs, hang pots to help the world, and write medical books." Power doesn't matter to me, I just want to ...... with you Hehe......"
Zhu Huan looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing with tears, "I'm too naïve, I was toyed with by your family between applause, I am really the most useless prince of the Ming Dynasty!" What is the use of my father raising me? ”
Zhu Hu has been smooth for half of his life, growing up under the care of his brother Zhu Di, he has never suffered such a big blow, his heart is like a mirror, he is spotless, once he was betrayed by his beloved, he felt that everything he wanted and thought came to naught, and became a joke, and he actually had the will to die, and hit the scimitar on his neck!
"Fifth brother!" Zhu Di's heart is like a knife.
"Goro!" Wang Yinnu's screaming was heartbreaking.
Fortunately, the Riba he bought was quick and quick, and he removed the scimitar, and Zhu Hu's neck was only cut in a shallow cut, which did not hurt the vital point.
Now it was flattened, Wang Yinnu and Zhu Hu began to bleed on their necks, and tears fell down, relatively speechless, only a thousand lines of tears, a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, sandwiched between the huge gap between family and country and hatred, it is difficult to break the mirror.
At this time, the entire brocade two workshops were surrounded by the soldiers of the Wucheng Terracotta Division and the Captain's Mansion of the pro-soldiers, closed the door, cleared the streets, and the soldiers along the street stood in a row, blocking the water around Baihetang, and it was difficult to fly.
The eight thorns in the bought one secretly complained, just one step away! If there was no Yao Miaoyi, or if Zhu Di, the king of Yan, came to look for Zhu Hu half a day later, he would not be so passive at this moment.
The crown prince Zhu Biao and Wei Guogong Xu Da galloped over, walked into Baihetang, and saw the tense scene of Yao Miaoyi holding Wang Yinnu hostage and confronting the eight thorns he bought.
Xu Da felt a sour feeling in his heart, what has her daughter experienced in the past ten years, and she has become a fearless look?
Zhu Biao Zhengse said: "I bought the eight thorns, my father is not thin on you, and treats him with the etiquette of the county king." even whipped the second brother, just because the second brother once made sarcastic remarks to you. It is really disappointing that you repay virtue with resentment and calculate that my fifth brother is a hostage. ”
The eight thorns he bought saluted Zhu Biao and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although Jinling City is good, this is not my hometown, I miss my homeland and want to go home." I also hope that the prince will sympathize with my homesickness. ”
Zhu Biao said: "The city gates have been closed, and it is difficult to fly. I just got an edict from my father, saying that as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, and let go of my fifth brother, you will be able to settle for the past, and you will still be our guest. ”
The eight thorns who bought it said: "Let me go back to my hometown of Beiyuan, and I will definitely ensure that King Zhou is safe and sound." ”
Zhu Biao's face turned cold, and he said: "Embattled, the prince of the world should not be desperate and regret it for life." My fifth brother has always had no quarrel with the world, and his attitude towards you is also very respectful, and the two have never had a bad relationship. Besides, his biological mother, like your mother, is a Korean clan, but you have calculated on his head, how can you bear it? ”
Zhu Di's heart was cold at this time, and the prince's implication was to keep the eight thorns he bought at any cost. As for the life and death of the fifth brother, he doesn't care, and everyone is happy to survive; If the bought eight thorns insist on refusing to give in, and the fish dies and the net is broken, then ......
The biological mother died early, the eldest brother is the father, Zhu Di has protected this younger brother since he was a child, and his affection is far deeper than that of the half-brother of the prince Zhu Biao.
Looking at his sad and desperate younger brother, Zhu Di turned his heart sideways, stepped forward, and said: "I bought the eight thorns, I am willing to exchange with the fifth brother, I am a hostage, you let him go." Anyway, what you want is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no difference between me and the fifth brother. ”
"Fourth brother! No! Zhu Hu was still hit hard and stunned.
The eight thorns he bought had a small calculation in his heart: King Yan had always been valued by Emperor Hongwu, and if he was taken hostage, he would have a better chance of winning than the useless Zhu Hu.
Prince Zhu Biao's heart lit up, the fifth brother was just a waste obsessed with medicine, and the fourth brother was ......
At this time, Yao Miaoyi's brain turned quickly, secretly analyzing the situation.
According to her speculation, the Wang family should all be secret agents of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, potentially in Jinling City, waiting for an opportunity. As a secret agent, you should focus on your goals, and put aside the death of yourself and your companions - but why is the Queen Mother so obedient, and even the eight thorns she bought seem to value Wang Yinnu's life and death very much?
Maybe Wang Yinnu's true identity is not just a secret agent of the Northern Yuan?
Yao Miaoyi decided to give it a try.
She took Wang Yinnu hostage and retreated to the side of the brazier for heating, continued to hold the hairpin in her left hand against her throat, and burned the red-hot tongs with her right hand on Wang Yinnu's thigh mercilessly!
There was a stabbing sound, accompanied by Wang Yinnu's terrible scream, and a scorching stench rose from her thighs along with the white gas.
"Sound slave!" Zhu Hu's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he was the one who had been subjected to the torture of cannon burning, injured in her body, painful in his heart, and looked like he was still in love.
"County Lord!" The Queen Mother was so shocked that she could not help crying out.
Princess?
As if seeing the dawn in despair, Zhu Di secretly said, this Wang girl is the county lord! In this way, Zhu Hu has a glimmer of life.
Yao Miaoyi was calm and calm, and was not touched by Wang Yinnu's miserable appearance, put the tongs in the brazier and burned red again, threatening the anxious and indignant queen mother: "Tell her true identity honestly, otherwise the next tong will be branded on her flower-like face, and it will not be called Living Guanyin in the future, how about changing it to Yaksha?" ”
"Stop! Stop! The queen mother shouted again and again: "She is the sister of my prime minister Wang Baobao, the county lord Wang Yinnu!" ”
