After many attempts to hit a wall, Zhu Qiming finally understood that in the foreseeable future, Emperor Jingtai's subconscious would not have the words "King Zhun Yue went to the domain" at all.

The dispute between the DPRK and China began to involve the topic of the prince's transgression, and when the insinuation was in full swing, he was roasted on the fire. Caution is not his style of acting, but Da Ming is about to usher in the dawn of rebirth and transformation, and after some calculations, he still chooses to act cautiously because he cherishes the current good game.

He occasionally went to Xianxi Palace to say hello. The Holy Empress Dowager is still playing the emotional card, often starting from the reward in Xuande for ten years, and continuing to talk about the Empress Dowager's entrustment during her lifetime; He also ordered the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, Princess Chongqing and Princess Chun'an to accompany him, the king of Yue, many times.

In many cases, it is difficult to balance the need to be affectionate and righteous with the overall situation in mind. This made Zhu Qiming begin to suffer from his inner torment.

Time flies, with the sound of firecrackers on the day of Zhengdan resounding through the streets and alleys of the capital, the orthodox dynasty has become ancient, and the Ming Dynasty ushered in the first year of Jingtai.

The 10-day lantern market opened as scheduled, the bright lights reflected the surging flow of people, presenting a very real peaceful scene in front of the world, in the city building with colorful lanterns hanging high, everywhere lively and orderly and orderly.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Emperor Jingtai feasted hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys of all countries. Knowing that the Ming Dynasty had an obvious upper hand in the contest with Warat, the envoys of the Wanbang Dynasty made a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven and showed their sincerity without hesitation.

Feeling that the general trend of the world is becoming clearer, Emperor Jingtai no longer let anxiety occupy his brain, but appeared extremely calm and calm at the banquet, and gave ten days off at the banquet as usual, which made the banquet participants realize that the Ming Dynasty had survived the crisis.

The first month of the capital rushed by in this way. Before you know it, the earth warms up, the grass and trees turn green, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Yun Niang returned to the capital, held Lu Xiyao and muttered for a long time in Qiupu Xuan, and then invited Lu Xiyao to go to the western suburbs, and said that after hibernation for many years, the five heroes of Xishan finally appeared, and actually reported their identities in front of Yun Niang in the western suburbs. Yun Niang persuaded Lu Xiyao to verify it to see if they were the thieves who intended to commit murder.

Five Heroes of the West Mountain? They've been faked, okay?

Zhu Qiming couldn't help but shake his head. With Yun Niang and her extremely martial arts entourage to take care of, he was not so worried about Lu Xiyao's safety. Besides, the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are still offering a bounty for the wanted Xishan Wujie, if the Xishan Wujie's brain is not broken, how can they rashly end their "underground" hidden career and throw themselves into the net? It's clearly a joke!

Anyway, it's time for an outing! Zhu Qiming did not dissuade him, and sent Lu Xiyao and Yun Niang away, he did not let Jinyiwei accompany him, and got into the carriage alone, and at the invitation of Luo Han, went to the market building of Luo Han's son to have a banquet.

"Xiao Wang has always lived in a simple place recently, and looking at the old days of the city, he can only relax here with you."

Looking at the sparse pedestrians in the market through the window, Zhu Qiming said it well, but his face looked very comfortable.

The dining table is set upstairs, Luo Han obviously took a lot of effort to arrange the environment quite pleasantly, the meal is very delicious, and the wine poured full of large lamps is actually a rare autumn dew white in ordinary people.

"Hey, hey, hey······"

I have to say that once Luo Han laughed, he became a kind old man, and he lost the anger he had dyed in Zaotu Mountain back then.

"The old man is not used to meeting guests, he has lived alone in the deep mountains and old forests for many years, and he is used to staying alone, except for His Royal Highness, the old man does not want to drink and gossip with other people at all."

It seems that he has not been so relaxed for a long time, Zhu Qiming raised his lamp again and again, one glass of wine is enough for one or two, and after only a moment of effort, he has drunk three glasses of wine, and he can't stop at all.

"In the future, Xiao Wang will bring his own wine and food, and often come here to gather with his seniors."

Luo Han lifted the wine jug, tilted his upper body slightly, and poured wine for Zhu Qiming in the next case.

"The old man can't ask for it!" Putting down the wine jug, he glanced at Zhu Qiming very carefully, "Your Highness can be called a hero!" It's a pity that the general trend of the world has been decided, and when everyone lives a peaceful life, the Ming Dynasty will put swords and guns into the warehouse, and the horse will be put into Nanshan. Your Highness, the sharp blade of the country, should also be sheathed! ”

"It doesn't matter."

Zhu Qiming smiled slightly, raised his lamp and sipped lightly, "Being comfortable is a blessing!" If it is convenient, Xiao Wang can accompany his predecessors to revisit Zaotu Mountain. Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to go to the end of the world with your predecessors and have a good time. ”

"That's a good idea!"

Luo Han grinned, stared and pondered for a moment, "Zaotu Mountain is a good place, but unfortunately it is the territory of the Jurchens, and the Jurchens are two-faced and untrustworthy!" ”

Zhu Qiming returned to the case and thought thoughtfully, "Today is Warat, the Ming Dynasty is Tatar, the future or Jurchen, Yidi is vying for dominance, the situation in the north is changeable, I hope the Ming Dynasty can always change with the times!" ”

Suddenly, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Say far away." Seniors, let's drink! ”

Luo Han waved one arm very neatly, and the wine cup immediately fell on his hand, "Drink!" "Spit out the smell of wine," His Royal Highness is true, the Jurchens are really not good at stubble. Oh, Your Highness, that Yehenara clan somehow found the old man before leaving Beijing, she said that she couldn't see His Highness, and asked the old man to give it to His Highness. ”

Zhu Qiming was stunned, looked out the window, and slowly drank the remaining wine in the cup.

She said that there were five thieves at the beginning, it seemed that they were called Xishan Wujie, and the five thieves received money and wanted to be unfavorable to Miss Lu, and later heard that Miss Lu was a popular candidate for Princess Yue, so she was reluctant to do it, and fled all the way to the border of Jianzhou Jurchen, hiding near Gule Village. She also said that the thief who wanted to harm Miss Lu must have another master. ”

Cut, as if who doesn't know someone is impostoring! When talking about the capricious Jurchens, Zhu Qiming inevitably became angry with the Yehenala clan, and subconsciously pouted, "The seniors don't need to care about her······"

Another owner? Zhu Qiming was taken aback, dropped the wine cup, stood up straight, hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran towards the corridor.

Luo Han was surprised: "Where is Your Highness?" ”

"Western Suburbs!"

"Western suburbs? Eh, Your Highness, there are horses in the courtyard! ”

······

The carriage that Yun Niang and Lu Xiyao were riding stopped at a bend three miles away from Tanzhe Temple. Twelve strong men hurried forward to meet them. One of them said: "Madam, those five people claim to be the five heroes of Xishan, and they have scared away all the passers-by nearby, presumably the arrest of Shuntianfu will come soon." ”

"Madam, the five of them hid in the forest a mile away, and their subordinates and others have been staring, but they haven't slipped away yet." The other said.

"Got it."

Yun Niang covered Lu Xiyao's face below her eyes with a blue scarf, and then lifted the curtain, and the two got out of the carriage one after another.

"Let's go over there!" At the command, Yun Niang pulled out her long sword.

After years of sword practice, Lu Xiyao is no longer the weak Miss Jiao who was the original, and she trotted along the forest path with Yun Niang and her entourage for a while, not panting or panicking, and there was no discomfort in her body.

After running a short distance, I suddenly heard a commotion in front of me. A man peeked out of the bushes, nodded at Yun Niang, and cautiously reached out and pointed to the dense forest on the right.

Everyone immediately slowed down and slowly approached the dense forest lightly.

The noise in the forest stopped abruptly, and then the five heads poked out of the branches and leaves to look out, and quickly retracted, but heard the sound of the cord suddenly sounded, and the chaotic footsteps moved to the north side.

Seeing Fang Cai's five human faces, Lu Xiyao felt familiar, "Yes, it's these five thieves!" ”

"Chase!" Yun Niang screamed, turning her head to look at Lu Xiyao beside her as she ran, "Eh, strange, these thieves seem to be deliberately luring us, for fear that we don't know their whereabouts!" ”
