Chapter 50: King Zining

The Ming people emphasize elegance, or this is a feeling that has been accumulated over many years. Calligraphy and painting are tranquil and free, whether it is the use of line and ink, or various techniques, they all emphasize gentleness.

It's just that Shen Wuyan's trick is now directly used as a conspicuous color, although it is very eye-catching here, but because it is eye-catching, it does not give him much beauty.

Although Li Quan is a scholar who has failed to make the list, he is no stranger to calligraphy and painting.

It's just that before he could finish speaking, Shen Wuyan interrupted him and said, "Just do it."

Li Quan saw that Shen Wuyan was so insistent, so he didn't want to stop it any more, and as for the fat shopkeeper, he had to do it, and asked Shen Wuyan a few more doubts, so he took the money and told the craftsman to do it.

This first step has finally been completed, and Shen Wuyan is thinking about these links, which is quite good. With this operation, it is probably not a big problem for the teahouse to reappear in the capital.

And just when Shen Wuyan was in charge of all kinds of things in the teahouse, the team that entered the customs from Liaodong and went to the capital is now walking under the scorching sun.

There are still three days to go from the capital, and the team is not too slow, but it is obviously not their full speed, and there is probably some restraint in the team, otherwise when they go here, most of them should enter the city at full speed.

There were horseback riders, drivers, and those who followed closely behind the procession, but all of them had one characteristic, that is, they all looked tired.

At the head of the team, the bearded middle-aged man in a precious brocade robe, with a white horse in his crotch, was quite eye-catching, but his face was pale, and he thought that he was seriously injured.

While riding a horse, he looked back at the carriage behind him from time to time, and just whispered: "I hope that if nothing goes wrong again, I will be able to reach Shuntian, the capital of the Ming Kingdom, immediately."

The carriage behind him was also quite luxurious, and it seemed that it was far from something that ordinary people could use, but the man driving it was a young man in rags, and the horsewhip in his hand was extremely precious.

Behind the carriage was a line of disheveled guards. Although their clothes were worn and even stained with blood, they could see that they were in their original form, which was armor used in battle.

Under the scorching sun, the group of people who were already very unenergetic looked even more lazy at this time, as if there was another gust of wind. and they were able to blow everyone away.

Suddenly, there was a violent cough from inside the carriage. Then a heavy voice sounded: "Just rest where you are."

The bearded middle-aged man frowned slightly, obviously a little unwilling, but he couldn't disobey the words of the person in the carriage behind him, so he had to get off the horse, slowly walked to the carriage, and saluted very respectfully, saying, "Is it a little inappropriate for the prince to stop here?"

The prince in the carriage was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "This place is so close to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchens must not dare to make this group of thieves." When this king returns to the dynasty, they will definitely be good-looking. ”

The bearded middle-aged man hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly: "It seems to be a Jurchen, but in essence, the king has ever thought that there are not many people who know the news when you go to the Ming Kingdom this time."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the carriage suddenly opened. A ruddy face was revealed, but the redness was obviously a little abnormal, as if it had been held for too long and was swollen, and it looked really uncomfortable.

The owner of the face was probably not very comfortable, so he coughed a few more times before lowering the curtain again. He said softly: "You mean that Your Majesty will be unfavorable to this king"

"The subordinates don't dare" The bearded middle-aged man immediately knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said eagerly: "The subordinates shouldn't die"

"General Li, get up" The prince in the curtain chuckled, interrupted General Li's words, and sighed: "Your Majesty is certainly dissatisfied with this king, but there must be a part of the Jurchens who don't kill me, but more are those traitors."

"Traitor" General Li frowned slightly. exclaimed: "The prince knew about it a long time ago"

The prince immediately laughed, and finally took a deep breath and muttered: "My Li Dynasty has lasted for a hundred years, and there have always been those disasters in the court. ”

"But they still sent assassins to secretly chase and kill," General Li lowered his head deeper, for fear of provoking the prince's displeasure.

The prince didn't like it at all when he heard this, but he was very indifferent, and said calmly: "You and I are still alive after all, so there is no need to be afraid, sooner or later one day will be killed back, probably next year, that girl sent it to Your Majesty."

General Li was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he respond: "Your Majesty is easy to be deceived at this age, but it seems inappropriate to give that girl to Your Majesty."

"That is, it hasn't been sent yet" There was a sudden anger in the carriage, and then there was a heavy shout: "The kindness of women, you think that sending a woman to Your Majesty will be detrimental to the government, but have you ever thought that if you don't send it, those traitors will still send beautiful women to your Majesty for pleasure."

The voice stopped abruptly at this point, and the next moment there was a rapid gasp, and after a long time, he eased up, and then muttered again: "No wonder Your Majesty has not changed his opinion of this king, and you are not unaware of his temper."

How could General Li not know His Majesty's temper and become an emperor at such a young age. The suspicion is quite heavy, and if there is any recommendation in the court, it will be regarded as having a disobedient heart and will be killed.

The prince just wanted to send a few girls over to say that he really would not go against His Majesty, but General Li didn't like this move.

If a king is at fault, he should discourage it, and if he does not dissuade him, it would be disloyal and unrighteous to help him commit abuse.

So he didn't send the girl that the prince had instructed to the emperor, but let the girl go, but at this time it seemed that the prince didn't intend to accept this love, and was even more angry.

After a pause, the prince said: "This is the last time that this king knows that you are loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to this king, and I don't want this king to lose your reputation because of this."

General Li snorted lightly in his heart, but he also knew that the other party's words at this time were nothing more than an expedient measure. The road ahead is long, if it is not for his own protection, how can he go to the capital.

At this time, if you change to the next place, all the circumstances are not so embarrassing, this ruthless and wolf-like prince will definitely make himself pay the price, most likely to apologize for his crime with death.

However, even if he knew all this, General Li still had to fulfill his duties and send this prince to the capital of the Ming Kingdom safely, and when the mission was over, he would return to the court, regardless of whether he would kill himself at the end of the day.

After he nodded heavily, he said: "The prince is tired of traveling and resting in place first, but there is not much dry food, and there is too much damage along the way, and there is not much baggage left."

The prince snorted coldly, but he felt that it was useless to lose his temper, so he simply didn't speak.

General Li waited for a while, and when he saw that the prince had no orders, he left with his hands and ordered the prepared dry food to be sent to the prince, and then he found a place to rest for a while.

He has been walking for a few months, this is his first mission to Daming, and he is very curious about all kinds of things in Daming.

It's just that these days, he is even more curious about why there are no Ming troops to assist them along the way, no matter how those Jurchens chase and fight, the Ming army has not fought back.

It stands to reason that everything should be safe after entering the customs, but the way into the customs is still full of crises, and there are also several times when danger arises, if you don't escape quickly, you will probably die.

However, the Ming army seemed to have never discovered all this, and such inaction made General Li a little disappointed in this huge kingdom.

The Ming Dynasty in memory should have been the Heavenly Empire, and the surrounding small countries should be given absolute protection, once the small countries are in trouble, the Ming Dynasty should send troops to rescue.

But at this moment, this is not the case.

Driven by his keen insight, General Li quickly sensed the great danger.

But before he could get on his horse, he realized that the cavalry was coming from all directions, more than at any other time, and this moment made him feel so desperate that he even ignored the call from the carriage.

The prince in the carriage was no longer safe, so he quickly jumped out of the carriage, raised his eyes to look at the billowing smoke and dust not far away, and predicted how many people should be in this line.

As a result, he was even more desperate, if he was really an enemy, then he would not be able to leave today.

A group of forty-three people, all of them were in such a mood at the moment, and with the eyes of the prince, they all cast a trace of sadness, but soon they were filled with a strong fighting spirit, as if they wanted to fight to the death with the thousands of troops and horses.

It's just that this trace of pride also flashed, and soon some of the accompanying guards knelt on the ground, and in the end, only the prince and General Li were still standing in the field.

They can't kneel, they are proud of their knees, and if they kneel like this, they will have no shame in facing their ancestors and ancestors. How can you kneel against the thieves and rebel against the party, even if you die.

But not kneeling does not mean that you are not afraid, looking at the line of iron horsemen who came from the dust, both of them closed their eyes, waiting for the final killing.

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted: "It seems to be the Ming army, it's the Qi family's army."

As soon as he heard this, the prince immediately opened his eyes and looked up, and saw that the waving banner was the banner of the Qi family's army, and he was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "In front of the Ming army is the envoy of the Li Dynasty, King Zining."

As soon as the words came out, I saw that the billowing smoke and dust gradually lightened a little, and then I saw a handsome man with a tall horse riding a horse, dismounted in front of the king of Zining, bowed respectfully to him, and said: "In Xia Qi Jiguang, I have seen the king of Zining of the Li Dynasty" is to be continued.
