18. Underground Palace

The man walked up to me, bent down, and smiled softly. I immediately stood up and put my hands around his neck! "Why are you hiding it from me!"

Zhu Di said softly, "Let go of me first, I'll light the lamp." ”

I obediently let go of my hand, and he took the torch to the wall, and lit the wall lamps a few times, and then they were lit up in earnest. I looked around, I couldn't guess where this was, Zhu Di walked up to me with a smile, "Come, let me look at your forehead." Before I could answer, he had already put his hand to the corner of my eyebrows, where was a scar that Xu Yunhua smashed with the inkstone in Zhu Di's study in a fit of anger when he first came back, and it still had a thick scar. Zhu Di looked at it for a long time, and said with some distress, "I even hid Yunhua from it, so she is anxious and affectionate, you can take care of it." ”

I nodded, "I have never blamed the princess, she deserves to hate me, how can you exchange the three sons for me?" ”

Zhu Di grabbed my hand and rubbed it on his lap, "Don't talk about this." Tell me about what kind of attitude Huizu treated you when you came out of Huizu's house? ”

My heart tightened, and I didn't know how to answer him, but I said vaguely, "Uncle is probably also annoying, I haven't seen him at all." ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "He was originally an idle person, I didn't expect him to have such a friendship with Yun Wei." I couldn't speak, so I leaned into his arms and didn't say anything, and he continued, "His wife's father is also very important to the emperor now." ”

I stepped out of his embrace, reluctant to be careful, "If you know, why blame him." ”

Zhu Di sighed, "Do you know where we are?" ”

I laughed, "I was about to ask you, it's dark here, I can't see it." ”

"You didn't ask why I didn't tell you the truth when you came back." Zhu Di asked with some banter on his face.

I nodded a little on his forehead, "Can you still laugh?" Someone must have been following me, and I have seen it several times on the street, and the people who are the political envoy Zhang Yu are always following you. But he still can't do it, and he follows it so obviously. ”

"I knew you could guess that it was just so obvious that they had been following for so many days, and it was enough to pass it back. King Yan is crazy, what reason does he have to detain three more cousins? You asked me why I would exchange them for you, it is because of this, although the emperor is ruthless, he is always in his position, he can't be excessive, and he always has to take care of his flesh and blood. What else......" Zhu Di looked at me and suddenly smiled, and stopped talking.

I frowned, pinched his arm and asked, "What else?" ”

"And ...... I don't want you to suffer any more grievances. Zhu Di said in a low voice.

Speechless, I digressed, "Where the hell is this?" ”

"Yanwang Mansion."

"Where is there such a place in Yanwang's Mansion?!" I looked around again, this is a fighting room, except for the iron door, there are no windows on the four walls, so it is so extremely dark, and the temperature is very low, my eyes lit up, and blurted out, "This is the basement of Yanwang Mansion?!" ”

Zhu Di nodded, and shook his head again, "Not really." As soon as the black iron door was pushed open, I immediately opened my mouth wide and looked at Zhu Di, Zhu Di smiled and continued to walk forward.

As soon as the door of the dark room I was in opened, the lights outside were bright, like the light of day! Hundreds of sturdy men with shovels and chisels were digging and smashing, and it turned out that my iron door was so well insulated that I couldn't hear the movement outside. However, except for the sound of the collision of utensils and stones, most of the people in this gratification were silent, not saying a word of nonsense, and doing their work in an orderly and high-quality manner. And the space outside is almost the size of the garden in the house!

Go further, there is a tunnel, only one person is allowed to pass, Zhu Di walked in first, I followed, there is no wall lamp inside, so it is all dark, strange eight around, walked for about half an hour, I can't help but breathe a little, this tunnel is really long! I was about to complain, and suddenly saw a little white light in the distance, which was actually the appearance of the exit, so I couldn't help but speak, and sure enough, Zhu Di walked towards the exit, we stepped on a spiral ladder to go up, and after going up, we found that this is the exit from the outside is an abandoned ancient well, and the scene outside is even more surprising!

I only heard a rooster crowing, and it turned out that this was a super large chicken farm! Because of the two of us coming out rashly, a group of chickens were frightened, clucking, flapping their wings and flying around, I stretched out my hand and raised it, and grabbed Zhu Di, "This ......"

"This chicken farm supplies live chickens for almost all restaurants and inns in Peiping, but no one knows that this chicken farm is a side business of Shenji Battalion." Zhu Di said with some smugness on his face.

I was still relieved, Zhu Di had already led me to the door of a straw hut where chicken farmers lived. The people inside heard our voices and opened the door of the shed, but I froze, almost trembling and saying, "What...... How are you?! ”

Yue Longcheng changed into a coarse linen shirt, stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Come in and talk again." ”

Zhu Di smiled and pulled me in, this room is too small, but a bamboo bed, a round table, two chairs, Zhu Di and Yue Longcheng occupied two chairs, I sat on the bed, temporarily suppressed my stomach full of questions, and listened to them talk.

"I have already drawn out the brothers of the two thousand Divine Machine Battalion to go down, and this underground palace will be completed in about fifteen days." Yue Longcheng brought two large bowls, and in the bowls was rough tea, and Zhu Di took it up and drank most of it without disgust. I have only been gone for a long time, even I am hungry and thirsty, Yue Longcheng has not handed it to me, I have already reached out and snatched it from his hand, and drank a large bowl of water in front of the bowl.

Zhu Di and Yue Longcheng glanced at each other and laughed.

I put the tea bowl down and knocked on the table, "Two masters, don't just laugh at me as a little woman, quickly talk about the drum book and tell me what happened?" ”

It turned out that day, because I didn't believe that Zhu Di would be so inexplicably crazy, and I learned that Yuelong City was now in charge of the Shenji Camp, I wanted to go to Yuelong City to find out, but Yuelong City avoided me, in fact, this was a cover between Zhu Di and Yuelong City.

After investigating all the leaders and officials of the Shenji Battalion, Zhu Di gathered those loyal and reliable people together and told them that the emperor might take over or dissolve the Shenji Battalion. These generals have been in the army for a long time, and they all understand a truth, the country changes hands, and they will take the former master as a basket, in order to set an example, especially to build prestige, if the old owner Zhu Di is defeated, the new owner Zhu Yunwen takes over, whether it is disbanded or taken over, none of the original managers in these old versions can escape the doom of being hit; In addition, most of the people have followed Zhu Di to fight on the battlefield for decades, and they were all cultivated and promoted by Zhu Di, and they also have a lot of feelings for Zhu Di. So as soon as they put it together, they told Zhu Di that King Yan is here, and the Shenji Camp is here!

The following sentence is actually very clear, if King Yan falls, the Shenji Battalion will exist in name only.

When Zhu Di and I just came back from the capital, I still had a trace of illusions about Zhu Yunwen, thinking that as long as I retreated from this vanity fair, he would let himself go, let Yan Wangfu a horse, and let go of the Shenji Camp, but Zhu Yunwen just let Zhu Di go back to Beiping, but after three days, he regretted that he decided to fight all the time, turned around and sent someone to chase him down, although I used a trick to help Zhu Di escape, but I still fell after all, I couldn't save people, Zhu Di also recognized a truth, there is no way for him to retreat.

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was in such a dire environment before the uprising, and there was still a way out---- it was great to be a fugitive for the rest of his life, always feeding the whole family without hunger, but what about Zhu Di? If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, and Zhu Yunwen obviously didn't want to let him go.

Zhu Di figured this out, so he immediately went north and returned to Beiping, first behind Xu Yunhua's back and replaced me with three sons, and then began to pretend to be crazy, using pretending to be crazy to paralyze Zhu Yunwen's ears and eyes, betting on whether he would put back the three sons, and then began to order the construction of the underground palace in the Yanwang Mansion, and the host of the underground palace was Yuelong City.

After listening to this series of stories, I still had doubts in my heart, so I asked, "Lord Wang, I can understand that you are pretending to be crazy in order to protect your life, but do you ensure that the emperor will release the three sons back because of this?" ”

Zhu Di tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled disdainfully, "I never do things that I am not sure of." I also know the emperor too well, after all, he still cares too much about the opinions of the people in the world, and he doesn't dare to completely ignore his reputation. Those three children, don't worry. ”

I said a little helplessly, "It's too risky for the prince to do this, not to mention whether the emperor will let the princes back, but the princess is scared these days, and it is enough to experience those tortures." ”

Zhu Di lowered his eyes and frowned slightly, "Yunhua is good at everything, just treat a few children as if they were fate, they are all arrogant and unbearable, and they have never seen the world at all, this time, I should just give them some experience." He can't stand the ordeal, and he doesn't deserve to be my son. ”

I looked at Zhu Di and suddenly found that he actually had the prototype of dominating the world, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. Now that the three children are not in his eyes, when he stays until he really stands above 10,000 people, will he really be as unkind and cruel as Zhu Yuanzhang worried?
