At the end of the eleventh year of Hongwu, Wang Chang, the prince of Goryeo, led a delegation to Nanjing, and wrote that the ministers wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and pray for protection, and at the same time hoped that they could follow the old calendar of the Yuan Dynasty and ask to marry the princess of the Ming Dynasty as the crown princess, so that the friendship between the two countries could be long and prosperous.

This princess naturally fell on Zhu Linglong, who was the most suitable age and was least liked by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Linglong is sixteen years old, and now she has no official princess title, let alone a fiefdom, and she is the most dishonorable of Zhu Yuanzhang's many daughters.

However, in recent years, Queen Ma's body has become weaker and weaker, and even the production of the inner house that Zhu Yuanzhang has been in charge of since the beginning of his family has stopped, and the major and minor affairs in the palace have long been rarely asked, and they have been handed over to Concubine Li and Concubine Guo to take care of.

And in the eyes of this virtuous queen, it is the due obligation of the daughter of the royal family to marry a foreign vassal for the glory of the country.

Therefore, Zhu Linglong, who was full of reluctance to be married to a barbarian, remembered the old aunt and grandmother who was far away in Fengyang's hometown after begging Queen Ma to no avail.

The righteous father-in-law had been out to investigate for a long time, and Zhu Linglong stayed not far from the house, her heart was full of apprehension, she was afraid that her father had sent someone here, which would cut off her last hope.

At that moment, she saw something interesting—at the corner gate of the house next to my aunt's house, which was almost the largest in town, came a large and terrifying yellow dog, and the walls and doors of the house were full of filthy black and rotten leaves, and a foul smell could come from a distance.

But it is such a house, but next to a noble figure like my aunt and grandmother, I walked out of the yellow dog that was very special at first glance.

The yellow dog was clean, and he was not at all afraid of the living, and he did not show ill will ever be towards anyone on the street, and everyone who passes by will frown at him as if it were a very hateful and annoying dog.

But Zhu Linglong felt that this dog was very special, at least he had never seen a dog that could hold a steaming food box but not steal it. What's more, no matter how cold others are to it, he will not bark at people, and even when he passes by everyone, he will wag his tail and nod his dog's head, just like acquaintances meet and say hello!

"Your Highness, that dog's name is Rhubarb, and he went to the prison to deliver food to his master!"

Zhu Linglong's face was stunned, and she asked with some surprise and disbelief: "A dog sent to prison?" It's really interesting. ”

The eunuch knew the habits of this unruly princess too well, and when he saw her eyes, he knew what she was thinking, and with a slight bow, he walked towards Zhu Ding's house.

Zhu Linglong ignored the eunuch's unauthorized departure, after all, it was a girl's mentality, and at this moment, the mood of hunting for curiosity had gradually overwhelmed the worry about her future, and she began to follow behind Rhubarb slowly, looking at its eyes, like looking at a fresh toy that was about to arrive.

She watched Rhubarb walk happily down the street, not swaying left and right like a normal dog, and it would politely wag its tail when it saw every townsman passing by, and stand on the road waiting for the other to pass, which made its path unusually slow.

Along the way, few people, including some children, were friendly to it, which made Zhu Linglong more and more curious about why such a sensible dog would be so unpopular.

Finally, five boys appeared in the middle of the road, blocking Rhubarb's path.

The faces of these five boys are very ugly, and it seems that there are some bad behaviors in this town, and the adults passing by would rather take a detour than pass by them, which makes Zhu Linglong, who has been in the market for a long time, naturally think of hooligans and gangsters and other bad words, but as this promising profession, these five children are too young, and the oldest among them looks only thirteen or fourteen years old.

When Rhubarb saw these five children appear, he seemed to be very happy, and trotted between them, put down the basket in his mouth, and shuttled between them very affectionately.

The eldest boy stretched out his hand, grabbed the two ears of the big dog and pulled it very hard, but the rhubarb easily broke free and pressed it very unceremoniously on his face and slapped it to the ground, finally causing the children with gloomy looks on their faces that were very different from their age, to burst into laughter.

Rhubarb walked around the child who was knocked down, and then sat on the ground, as if waiting for something.

After laughing for a while, the five children took out the oil packets from themselves, some of which were still steaming, some of which looked a little cold and hard, but they were all put into the basket where Rhubarb had placed on the ground, and under the original food in the basket, these children had blatantly put some gadgets—sharp knives, very small shovels, etc., and even a small saw that shone coldly.

They didn't have any skills in doing this, so they all fell into the eyes of the townspeople and Zhu Linglong, and everyone knew that these gadgets were very helpful for things like escaping.

But no one stopped them, and no one went to the government to report it, Zhu Linglong saw that the surrounding townspeople sighed unexpectedly when they saw all this, and looked in the direction of the cell with a complicated expression of puzzlement and hatred, but more of it was a pity.

Pity a prisoner? This made Zhu Linglong more and more curious about the object of the big yellow dog's delivery.

"Brother, that woman is better looking than the old Zhang family Xiaohua in the west of the town, she is alone, do we want it, ah, do you want to ......"

"Pick up!"

"That's right, that's what Zhu Ding said, talk, brother, should we go?"

The children who asked out loud and the children who added in the middle looked at the eldest one with anticipation, and the remaining two also looked at her as if they had just discovered Zhu Linglong, and they also had a feeling of being amazed when they looked at her.

Sixteen-year-old Zhu Linglong has almost completely grown up, plus she is a royal noble, her appearance is also quite beautiful among her sisters, and her temperament will never appear in the people, not to mention that she has been rampant in Nanjing for a long time and has a wild taste, which makes her even more eye-catching, and can arouse some desires of men.

On the way to escape for help, Zhu Linglong saw all kinds of eyes, and the men who threw these glances at him were all beaten by the righteous eunuchs and became severely crippled who could not take care of themselves.

But she had never seen the eyes of these five boys - unbridled but pure, without the slightest hint of darkness, let alone possessiveness, if you had to characterize this kind of look, it seemed that "appreciation" could be closer?

I don't know why, Zhu Linglong was suddenly a little curious about these five little boys, and wanted to know what their so-called "pick-up" meant, and was stared at by them so unabashedly, Zhu Linglong didn't feel offended at all, and even had a feeling that she had never felt before, that was shyness?

"The eldest child is really good-looking!" This is her truest thought at the moment.

But Zhu Linglong was disappointed, and the boy she felt very attractive was now very embarrassed, although it was very shameless to be slapped down by Rhubarb's paw, but these children were used to it, and it had become a very frequent game between them.

Now the boy had two huge dog paw prints on his face, symmetrical and harmonious, and his messy hair was covered with grains of sand, and he did not go to tidy it up, but tried to make his eyes deeper, and he shook his head at the other children, and began to teach:

"You guys are really promising, Zhu Ding said, it's not a conversation with a strange woman on the street, that's a stinky hooligan! As the Five Tigers of Fengyang, as we who will have great achievements when we grow up, how can we do such a low-level thing?

Zhu Ding came out, if he heard about it, he would have to die of a joke, besides, we are going to rob the prison tonight, do you understand? That's an earth-shattering event, and you still have time to think about bubble girls? You're really good!

Let's go, go to Wu Laosan to see if he is ready for what we want, and if he dares to blow up his manure tank if he doesn't give it to us! “

When they said these words, they didn't lower their volume at all, nor did they avoid anyone, Zhu Linglong naturally listened to them word for word. Then, perhaps because the dialogue between the five boys was too funny, a few villains who were not even half the size dared to blatantly shout that they wanted to rob the county jail; Maybe it's just because the eldest kid is too funny.

Zhu Linglong laughed out loud, the voice was not big or small, but the eldest of the five children listened to it, so he looked back, and this look disrupted the neat steps of hugging his shoulders and backing the road together, and then the five little teenagers who had just finished their bold words, just stomped on me, he stepped on me, and fell to the ground gorgeously together.

The eldest boy raised his head in embarrassment, looked at the girl who was laughing and almost couldn't straighten her waist, and only felt that she was so beautiful at that moment, much more beautiful than the most beautiful mother in his impression.

The eldest boy is the head of the five tigers of Fengyang, Zhu Ding's most loyal little follower, called Xu Xiangkun, is the distant nephew of Xu Daguogong, the head of today's military generals, his mother died early, and his father was one of the first to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's eight hundred warriors.

When the eunuch Yi came from the direction of Zhu Ding's house to find Zhu Linglong, Zhu Linglong had stopped laughing, and the five teenagers could no longer see their figures, but the eunuch Yi clearly felt the changes in Zhu Linglong, and the clouds that had shrouded her head during these days seemed to have become very thin, and the blush on her face because of laughter reflected her eyes that had become bright again, making her whole person brighter.

The eunuch was a little hesitant and a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell Zhu Linglong, who had become bright again, that he was going to gather the news of his subordinates, and he wandered left and right for a long time, and finally the little princess who turned back discovered his existence, so he could only slowly move his body towards the other party.

This is the widest road in Fengyang Town, the iron pillars on both sides of the fans are said to be miraculous fans stirring up gusts of breeze, but it is not that kind of antipyretic, the righteous eunuch with deep kung fu is in such a comfortable environment, feeling the heat that has not been seen for many years, he is reluctant to speak, but he has to speak, this is the girl's last hope, as soon as this news comes out, it will only make the girl hopeless and desperate.

Her Royal Highness, the Thirteenth Daughter, who is usually very alert, did not notice the abnormality of the eunuch at this time, she was still a little distracted, and she was still searching in her mind for the stubborn mark left by the young man, she smiled slightly, and then, her face was hot, and she didn't know why she blushed......

"Miss, the old servant is useless, he can't buy that dog, please punish the young lady."

There is a constant flow of people on the street, so naturally you can't use titles like princess and highness, and the righteous eunuch also picks up some unimportant things first, with his understanding of this girl, I'm afraid she will break into someone else's house to "reason", so it's okay, at least you can vent before receiving the bad news, and it is still the murderer's home.

But the righteous eunuch was wrong, perhaps because he saw the madness between Rhubarb and Xu Xiangkun, the young man was very happy and smiled very brightly; Maybe it was because the dog was so loyal to his master that he felt that he should not take advantage of others, even if that person was only a sinner; Maybe it was because she was in no mood to pay attention to the matter of a dog at this time, anyway, after hearing this first bad news, she simply nodded and began to continue to start.

"Miss, there's another bad news about the purpose of our trip."

Zhu Linglong still didn't turn around from her reverie, she just nodded inertly, but her face turned pale in surprise by the old eunuch's next words.
