There was a prince present, and everyone was bound by etiquette, and it was inconvenient to go out of line, so the atmosphere at the banquet was a little dull and lackluster.

After dinner, it is natural to have a chat, and everyone will gossip and no longer be restrained.

The three leaders are complaining, what northern savage Jurchen is barbaric and bloodthirsty, North Korea hates the poor and loves the rich, and does not pull out a dime, etc., and so on, anyway, their north, east, and west are not good neighbors.

Then there is pouring bitter water, there is not enough food to eat, there is not enough clothing to wear, there are not enough seeds, and farm tools cannot be made, etc., all of which have caught up with the cross talk jokes of the soldiers. "When a farmer is afraid of getting dirty, and a worker is afraid of being tired, let's set up a fruit stall, it's not enough for me to eat myself······"

Zhu Qiming naturally wanted to say something vain and fluttering, anyway, the three of them didn't expect to get any benefits from him, the wandering prince.

In the end, it was Dong Shan, who was young and anxious, and took the lead in mentioning the "sensitive" topic, so everyone's eyes and ears trembled, and their mouths were a lot quieter.

"I heard that His Highness is here to find the survivors of the Beihai Condor Gang, dare to ask His Highness, but have you found a clue?" Dong Shan said with interest.

Zhu Qiming suddenly felt that there were several pairs of hot eyes staring at him opposite, and he almost didn't spit out the bowl of inferior wine that he had just drunk.

"I don't have a clue, and I ask the three generals to help."

The three leaders grimaced, staring, and looked deeply suspicious. After a long time, Fan Cha said: "Your Highness should always know the place where the two sides fought back then, right?" ”

Not really!

Facing the suspicious eyes of the three people, Zhu Qiming shook his head gently, and the feeling in his heart can only be described by the words "crying and laughing".

"I think the three generals must know the location of the battle." He threw the puzzle at the right time.

The three of them quickly shook their heads in denial, and then unabashedly disappointed expressions. Especially Li Manzhu, his face became constipated, and he was clearly distressed about the "luxurious" dinner at the table, but he didn't hum Da Zhang Wei's song.

"I'll spit out if I eat mine······"

If you can't hitchhike, you can still make a deal, what's the hurry! Zhu Qiming glanced at the three of them coldly, and his heart was even more firm in his previous judgment, the three of them must have been eyeing their intentions, and they wanted to hitchhike and then follow the vine, what they coveted must be the martial arts cheats or weapons left over from the bloody battle scene.

The Jurchens are still martial, if they get the best martial arts secrets of the Central Plains, once they spread the practice, I am afraid that they will become a potential disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

However, I really want to solve the mystery of the assassination that year, which involves both personal enmity and national concern.

If you want to solve the mystery, you have to rely on the cooperation of the Jurchens, and the Jurchens only want to hitchhike and do not want to volunteer. This requires trading, and there are trade-offs to be weighed.

After being silent for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

"If the survivors of that year can be found, it will not be difficult for this king to find out the place of battle."

Finding the survivor can reveal the identity of the assassin, which is Zhu Qiming's concern; And finding out the place of battle can find abandoned martial arts cheats and weapons, which is what Li Manzhu and the three of them are concerned about, so that both sides can take what they need, but for Zhu Qiming, finding survivors is a prerequisite for cooperation.

The trio's eyes flashed again. Dong Shan glanced at Li Manzhu and Fan Cha, and said with a little hesitation: "There is an old man in Harrier Ridge who is missing a leg and a broken arm, and he is suspected to be a survivor of the bloody battle that year. It is said that this man lived alone in the mountains for more than 20 years, never descended the mountain, and never socialized with people. ”

"How do you know that this person is a survivor of that bloody battle?" Fan Cha's head was about to fall on Dong Shan's face.

Dong Shan turned his head away in disgust and took a step away. "I mean suspicious, suspicious! The man was injured, combed in a bun, and had a Beijing accent. ”

Dong Shan went to the capital many times to pay tribute, and lived in the capital for several months each time, and he still had this hearing, so Fan Cha was no longer skeptical of Dong Shan's previous remarks.

"You kid is not kind, why have you never heard of such a big matter?"

"yes, don't you know how important this is? If you make it clear earlier, sending people to Liaodong can also save His Royal Highness the King of Yue all the hard work! Li Manzhu said.

Dong Shan pursed his lips and let out a soft snort between his noses.

How did you know that King Yue was inquiring about the bloody battle more than 20 years ago?

Who doesn't know what you're thinking? Less special garlic!

"You kid didn't go to Harrier Ridge, did you?" Vancha continued to ask questions unrelentingly.

Dong Shan's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "I've been to Harrier Ridge a few times, but that person chatted with me a few words at first, and then he ignored people, if he was in a hurry, he said to turn his face, don't look at his lack of arms and legs, he launched a ruthless and scary attack, and once almost strangled one of my subordinates to death!" In the end, I didn't forget to put on a good sentence: "He is a citizen of the kingdom, and I can only treat him with courtesy, so I won't bother him later." ”

Li Manzhu and Fan Cha didn't say anything, but their eyes stared at Dong Shan's face aggressively, and the meaning of the question was very obvious.

"If I ask what happened, why bother today!" Dong Shan rushed to the road.

That's too explicit.

Yes, if he knew the secret, he would have quietly done what he wanted to do, so how could he come to join in the fun today?

So, the eyes of the three fell on Zhu Qiming's face, with deep expectation in their eyes.

A remnant who has been wandering away for many years will definitely not be cold to a compatriot from his homeland, not to mention that this compatriot is still a noble prince.

Your Highness, we have treated you so warmly, you have to let us grab a red envelope, right?

"Please General Li prepare some meat and borrow it from this king." Zhu Qiming said with a smile.

Li Manzhu readily agreed.

Fancha is very unimpressed by this, this is the rhythm of calling Hanako! He took out a piece of emerald green and crystal jade pendant from his arms, and his fingers trembled a little, "This is a treasure exchanged for ten good horses, and when I see it, I don't worry that the mountain man will not be moved!" "He was clearly determined to spare no expense.

Zhu Qiming scoffed at Fancha's demeanor. Since they "never go down the mountain and never associate with people", how can people be interested in gold, silver, and jewelry that they cannot eat or wear when they are hungry?

Hermits have no desires, they just need simple satisfaction, stupid!

"Ask General Li to lend this king a horse."

"The last general will present the best horses in the camp to His Highness." Li Manzhu said without thinking.

"Does the general have a royal gift?"

This time it was Li Manzhu's turn to be dumbfounded, and for a while, he only felt cold in his heart.

I didn't bring a single hair, but I wanted this and that, and it was endless!

Is it easy to transport that bit of wine from the capital to the north? Don't you know that my autumn dew white is measured in drops? It's only taken three years to drink a jar!

I was reluctant to take it out and drink it at today's banquet, and I was knocked away by you like this at this moment, and I lost a lot of pain in my daily life, so resentful! It's not worth it!

What to see! It's not about cutting your flesh, of course you don't feel the pain that pierces your heart!

So, under the forced gaze of Fan Cha and Dong Shan, Li Manzhu gritted his teeth and said, "There are still two altars here at the end of the general······ No, a jar of autumn dew. ”

It was late at night, and everyone was a little tired, so they stopped talking and rested separately, only to go into the mountains early the next morning to visit the hermits.
