After asking Zhu Houzhao for leave, and then asking for leave with Mu Bin, Li Yan is finally going back to Nanjing.

Although the life in the capital is very comfortable, but after all, it is not as important as starting a family, not to mention that there is an old man who is eyeing him on the side, recently this old man has sent someone to urge him several times, for fear that he will find a new love in the capital, if he does not return to Nanjing, I am afraid that this old man will be angry to pack Sun Ying over and hand it over to himself, after all, when he was still in Nanjing, Sun Mao secretly revealed that Sun Ying's after-sales service has been revoked, the married daughter of the old Sun family spilled the water, you get married as soon as possible, Don't burden me anymore.

With a touch of sadness, Li Yi embarked on the journey back to Nanjing.

Hearing that he was going to get married, Mu Bin took the lead in sending his congratulatory gift, a pair of mandarin duck concentric locks and two hundred taels of silver.

Mu Bin is known for caring about his subordinates and is sympathetic to silver. Li Yan scoffed at this, the boss gave gifts to his subordinates, this kind of thing has no face to say, and he has to make some kind of uninteresting gimmick of sympathy for silver.

But sneering at it is sneering, which does not affect Li Yan to accept Mu Bin's silver, and it is a fool who has silver and doesn't want it.

Zhu Houzhao also followed Li Yan into the car, Zhu Houzhao didn't sneak back this time, Zhu Houzhao also asked Yang Tinghe for leave, probably because Zhu Houzhao has performed better recently, Yang Tinghe rarely agreed to Zhu Houzhao's leave.

As soon as he left the palace, Zhu Houzhao lived directly, like a wild horse on the loose, excitedly pointing at the carriage.

Li Yan rode on the horse, listening to Zhu Houzhao's humming in the carriage, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, Zhu Houzhao is still more suitable to be an idyllic poet, or a calligraphy painter, or even a wandering singer, any identity will make him more excited than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.

The deep palace is like a cage, the courtyard is like a prison, maybe in Zhu Houzhao's heart, the life he yearns for is just simple and unrestrained, just such the simplest request, Emperor Hongzhi sits in the world, there are thousands of good generals, and he can give Zhu Houzhao countless glory and wealth, but this can't be given.

As a modern person, Li Yan's mentality is closest to Zhu Houzhao, so Zhu Houzhao will subconsciously get close to Li Yan, and even Liu Jin, who has served Zhu Houzhao since childhood, can't compare to Liu Jin.

"Li Yan, when can we get to Nanjing? It didn't take me that long last time I was here! Zhu Houzhao poked his head out of the carriage and asked Li Yan.

"Soon, half a day's journey again!" Li Yan replied loudly.

According to Li Yan's estimate, Zhu Houzhao ran out last time, and he was quick on the road and eager to hurry, so he arrived quickly, although Li Yan was also in a hurry this time, but he was not in a hurry, so the schedule slowed down.

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao was thinking that the speed was slow, Li Yan clamped the horse under his legs, accelerated his speed slightly, and asked Zhao Shun to return to Nanjing by himself first, and Comrade Sun Ying himself came back today.

"My lord, I'm going home today anyway, so why are you in a hurry? This is not Lao Zhao, I said adult, this long-term absence is better than the newlywed, or a little surprise. Knowing that his boss let him take the first step, Zhao Shun came up with a cheap smile.

"Get out!" Li Yan was concise and to the point, and only gave Zhao Shun one word.

……

…………

For Zhao Shun, Li Yan really didn't want to say anything, among all the Jinyi Wei people he brought to Nanjing, if he was loyal, there was no doubt that Zhao Shun belonged to him, but if he was the least afraid of himself, only Zhao Shun himself.

Li Yan always feels that what Zhao Shun thinks in his head is different from what others think, is it impulsive, according to Li Yan's analysis, this is called occasionally committing two, often being forced, it belongs to the kind of comics......

He often jokes with Zhao Shun, and Zhao Shun has nothing to see him, which can be seen from Zhao Shun's scaring of his own concierge, even the concierge of his boss's house dares to scare easily, and there are still things he can't do.

Zhao Shun quickly whipped up, and after a burst of smoke and dust, he quickly disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

The road is not always calm, this time, Li Yan met a group of strongmen who did not open their eyes.

was in a hurry, and suddenly heard a whistle, and Li Yan suddenly chuckled to himself.

In this wilderness, unless it is an auditory hallucination, where can you hear the whistle, this situation is only a strong man.

There are also strong people near Nanjing City, and Li Yan is in a bad mood.

"There is a situation! Everyone's defensive formation is scattered! Protect Your Highness! ”

Li Yan gave an order, ordered everyone to disperse, put on a defensive formation, and everyone quietly observed the wind and grass nearby, and then heard a burst of footsteps.

The footsteps were uneven, and Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem to be a well-trained regular strongman. As long as it is not well-trained, as long as the number of people is not too many, Li Yan is confident that he can break through from here with Zhu Houzhao.

There were more and more footsteps, and Li Yan's face gradually became unpleasant.

"Whoosh!" A cluster of arrows glowing with cold light flew from a distance, pierced directly in front of Li Yan, and fell to the ground and swayed.

"Who?"

Li Yan asked loudly.

"Hugh has to ask more, today only takes Zhu Houzhao's life, and it has nothing to do with you and others!" After Li Yan finished speaking, a person suddenly came out of the grass in the distance and shouted at Li Yan.

The man was a burly man, five feet tall, with a large bow with horns in his hand, and it was evident that he had shot the arrow.

"Dare to assassinate the prince, are you impatient!" Li Yan said angrily.

"Impatient? I can't live anymore, so why be impatient? Brothers, give me up and avenge the relatives who starved to death in Huaidong and Huaixi! ”

The man didn't answer Li Yan, and as soon as he waved his hand, a large group of people slowly walked out of the grass.

This...... Also strongman?

Looking at this group of people, Li Yan's brows furrowed, and he was puzzled.

Li Yan was really puzzled, because although the group of people in front of him was nominally strong, they didn't look like strongmen at all! Except for the burly man just now who still has a little combat effectiveness, the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they still want to kill Zhu Houzhao with such combat effectiveness? It's the same as sending you to death!

"The sky has no eyes, the left deputy capital Yan Maoqing abused and killed innocently, and complained about the road, so that my two Huai people complained, and today he killed the prince Zhu Houzhao to tell the world!"

The man shouted loudly, leading the group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to rush forward.

"Jin Yiwei! Defend against the enemy! The old and weak are still alive! Li Yan's eyes widened, his eyes were about to split, and the three orders came down in unison.

On the horizon, the remnant sun is like blood.
