At this important moment, Zhu Gaochi was so entrusted by Zhu Di, he was both excited and moved, his eyes almost flashed with tears to accept the important task, and Sanbao and others agreed to assist the young master, and Zhu Di also had a worry.

The next day, Zhu Di and I went to Daning. As soon as I got out of the city gate, I was extremely surprised, and the black pressure in front of me was full of soldiers, so I asked Zhu Di, "Didn't you go to borrow soldiers?" Why do you still bring soldiers? ”

Zhu Di smiled mysteriously, "Have you ever heard the rumors of King Ning?" ”

I thought about it, "Yes." ”

Zhu Di asked, "What are the rumors you heard?" ”

I blushed, "It's not that he's alone, it's about two people." ”

"Two people?" Zhu Diqi said, "You can talk about it." ”

"When I was still working as a brocade guard in the capital, someone evaluated all the more than 20 vassal kings who were in the domain at that time, and finally came to a conclusion, which you can't get rid of, called 'King Yan is good at fighting, King Ning is good at strategizing'. I only admit the first four of these eight words, but I don't dare to compliment the last four, Lord Yan, your old man's bravery and good fighting is worthy of his reputation, but this King Ning, this year is no more than twenty-two years old, I heard this rumor when it was four or five years ago, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, what kind of wisdom can a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy have? He even defeated more than 20 of your brothers and was respected as the leader? ”

Zhu Di smiled faintly, his face full of cunning, "You were still young four or five years ago, what do you know." ”

I gave him a blank look, is this girl the same as King Ning?

Zhu Di saw that I was not convinced, and said, "The seventeenth brother's mother's family is Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yang's family background is not very prominent, because the seventeenth brother was not treated much by his father when he was young, but he is extremely smart, as soon as he enters school, he often shows extraordinary talents, and his father only began to pay attention to him at this time, and gradually discovered his cleverness, and he loved it even more. He was crowned king at the age of thirteen, stationed in Daning at the age of fifteen, and his father gave him one of the most brave and effective troops, the 'Duoyan Sanwei'. I think he is only a little over ten years old, and often we northern brothers join together to fight in the Cypriots, and he is always the most resourceful one. ”

I always thought that Zhu Di's youth became a talent, which was rare, but I didn't expect him to tell the glorious history of Zhu Quan, King of Ning, like a few treasures, and he was not even better than him.

Zhu Di continued, "When he took over Duoyan Sanwei at the age of fifteen, he already had 80,000 armor soldiers and 6,000 chariots. Now that I have been stationed in Daning for more than ten years, this team will not say how much the strength has increased, but the combat experience is already incomparable to the remaining vassal kings, if I get this team, what can I fear about the 500,000 troops under Li Jinglong? ”

"You told me for a long time, but you just told me how smart the Seventeenth Master is, how brave his soldiers are, what does it have to do with us now with this large group of men?" Still puzzled, I asked, frowning.

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and beckoned to me, I leaned over, he whispered to my ear, and said something to me, I suddenly realized and gave Zhu Di a thumbs up, "What 'King Yan is good at fighting, and King Quan is good at strategizing', I think you have it all." ”

Originally, I thought that I was going to travel far away, so I changed into a man's attire, but I didn't expect that now it happened to come in handy because of the army. Zhu Di and I were one by one and a tall horse, and we did not lead the team in front of the army, but we were just sandwiched in the middle of the army, and we were not conspicuous. Beiping is good at the beginning of the year, after leaving Beiping, it is often wild sand, I take a big shawl to wrap my head and face, every day like an Arab. Once complained to Zhu Di, he asked very strangely, "What is Arabia?" I covered my mouth and laughed for a long time, but I couldn't say why.

Rao is a well-trained tough guy in the army, and the speed of walking is still delayed, Zhu Di doesn't talk much every day, sometimes chatting with the soldiers, and usually only talking to me. I asked him if he had been talking a lot since the front army, and he glared at me, "You are really begging for a bargain and selling well, this prince is afraid that you will have a hard journey, and he thinks of a way to talk to you every day, but he thinks that this king talks too much in your mouth." ”

I stuck out my tongue and didn't dare to say more, for fear that he would really be silent in the future, and I really had no one to speak.

About half a month later, Zhu Di and I and several generals took the lead to the gate of Daning City, Zhu Di had already sent someone to deliver a letter to King Ning's mansion in the morning, and King Ning had already sent someone to pick us up.

The strange thing is that the people who came to pick us up did not come out of the city, but closed the gates, stood at the head of the city, and shouted at us, "Under the city gate, but the king of Yan? ”

"It's King Yan, please open the city gate." I shouted at him.

The man didn't open the door, hesitated for a while, Zhu Di and I looked at each other, Zhu Di also frowned, but the man upstairs said, "Our prince has ordered, saying that there is no place in the city to place the prince's subordinates, if you enter the city, you can only come in alone." ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Brother Seventeen is right, I don't care if I have to bring an entourage in, otherwise it will be really difficult to eat and live." The man on the city wall hesitated for a moment, looked at me, and probably felt that I was thin and weak, and looked weak, so he said, "This little thing, the small one is not alone, it is not a small one, it is okay to make the decision for us, it is okay to forgive, brother below, let the prince and the guard in." ”

Zhu Di and I got off the horse, walked into Daning City, got on the carriage of Ning Wangfu, the carriage galloped all the way, and after a while, we arrived at the gate of Ning Wangfu, got off the carriage, and saw the high lintel of Ning Wangfu, which was written with three simple characters, "Ning Wangfu". I have long heard that Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, is very fond of dancing and writing, studying Taoism, his attainments in cooking tea and playing music are much higher than his attainments on the battlefield, at this time, you can feel the shape of the outside of this Ning Wangfu, antique, chic and interesting, very different from other palaces, in this desert, it is simply a beautiful landscape.

Zhu Di glanced at me and walked inside. As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw a young jade-faced boy coming out of it, dressed in a white shirt, with a graceful demeanor, and the handsome description was not under Xu Huizu.

Zhu Di had also stretched out two hands, hugged him, and patted him on the back a few times, "Seventeenth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but now it's time to change!" ”

This is Zhu Quan, I only know that he is young, I didn't expect him to be so young, just looking at his appearance has secretly said good in his heart, not to mention that this person is also very good at fighting. He took Zhu Di's hand, and he was also very emotional, and said, "Fourth brother! Although I am on the border of Daning, I have also heard about you, how did I get to this point? ”

Zhu Di's face was embarrassed, "You only heard about the fourth brother, haven't you heard about the other brothers?"

Zhu Quan was speechless for a while, and his face was also very sad, and he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, so he only sighed.

Zhu Di said again, "Brother, I have fallen into such a situation today, with my brother's behavior for so many years, I also know that my brother and I are not arrogant, and I am really helpless!" The imperial court sent someone to surround me in the palace of King Yan, each with a knife and a gun, waiting to be arrested by me, I have not committed a crime, and I have never coveted the new emperor, why treat me so harshly? You and I have been close to each other for many years, so I'll tell you a word from my heart, I'm not convinced! ”

When King Ning saw that Zhu Di said it was true, his face was also full of anger, "Hey! Stop it! Don't say that your Yanwang Mansion is in Beiping mud Bodhisattva across the river, it is a place where I don't, there are people who come to monitor, when you entered Beijing at the beginning of the year, the emperor's order of the Son of Heaven also sent to me, announcing that I entered Beijing, good guy, I haven't walked a few steps, I was cut three guards in a row, I thought something was wrong, so I excused myself and retreated. It's not just you who can't protect yourself, it's me, I'm afraid ......"

As soon as the two brothers met, they poured bitter water on each other, and everyone else was shocked, thinking in their hearts that these two people were also persecuted by the imperial court, otherwise they were so noble and arrogant on weekdays, how could they make such a bitter state, and they couldn't help cursing to the court in their hearts.

After a while, Zhu Quan said, "Fourth brother, you have traveled all the way to your brother, I know, if you are not in trouble now, it will be difficult to come, don't stand here, let's go in and talk in detail." I'll pick you up. ”

Zhu Di also stretched out a hand and said, "Okay!" Here you are the host, you are advanced, don't let me lose the distinction between host and guest. ”

Zhu Quan couldn't push it, so he led the way in front and led us into a living room, only to see that a flat round table carefully carved by pineapple flowers and wood was already full of wine and food, Zhu Quan said, "Fourth brother, let's have a good drink today!" ”

Zhu Di let go and sat down, the two drank two glasses to each other, Zhu Di said, "Brother, brother, I came today, not to do anything else, the army has committed a great disapproval in the world, I can't stay in Beiping City, only I am left with the old and weak women and children guarding the house, I want to come to the emperor's mercy, and I will not be angry with the women, I myself will bring my brothers to take refuge in you." ”

Zhu Quan heard Zhu Di say this, and hurriedly excused himself, "Fourth brother, don't say this, don't~"

Zhu Di smiled, "You and my brother, why hide it, say something that shouldn't be said, brother is more than 20 miles, no matter how he sits in the official position, how he loved his father and emperor back then, and how Bo Xin Emperor is important now, I value you the most, you have courage, courage, and you are not a brainless hero, and now I am in this situation, except for taking refuge in you, I really can't think of anyone who dares to take such a big risk." ”

Zhu Quan was blocked by Zhu Di's words that were neither soft nor hard, but he couldn't say the following words, so he had to drink a glass of wine with his head down, and only after the wine strengthened people's courage did he say, "Fourth brother, don't say such things, they are born from the same root!" If a brother is in trouble, he will definitely help him. ”
