Chapter 523: Dismounting

Tang Ming didn't have to wait for Zhu Gaochi's reply at all, he knew that he would inevitably go to the appointment, and he must have gone earlier than himself. If he wants to ascend the throne smoothly www.biquge.info he will definitely go, so Tang Ming took Xiao Jasmine and Xiao Bohu to play until the evening, and as soon as he went home and finished eating, he took a boat to Tianjin Wei.

Li Ba had been keeping an eye on Tang Ming, and when he was about to get on the boat, he didn't see enough guards with him, so he immediately stepped forward to block the way: "Sir, let me follow you, and I have to bring the dogs with them!" ”

Tang Ming naturally knew that Li Ba was worried about his safety, so he didn't care about his rude behavior, and said with a smile: "How many people do you think I should bring over to ensure the safety of my life?" A sharpshooter battalion of thousands of people still brought all the ships, including hot air balloons, that are still on duty on Jeju Island. Do you feel safe that way? ”

Li Ba was a little dizzy by Tang Ming's series of questions, but he still nodded stubbornly and said: "It's so good, if you bring the army over, I don't dare to say that I will ensure that the chief will not be harmed, but at least let the chief not lack any parts to come back, we are still sure." ”

Tang Ming laughed angrily, he just said that on purpose, but he didn't expect Li Ba to take it seriously, shook his head and said, "Are you going to war?" If you want to go to war, do you think these people are enough to be presumptuous on Zhu Gaochi's land, and make sure that I don't lack parts. I bet that if Zhu Gaochi saw me with the army, he wouldn't have to meet him, and he would fight first as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that Li Ba still wanted to be verbose, Tang Ming directly interrupted him: "Don't say it again, I naturally have a bottom in my heart about what to do, I can't see each other if I bring too many people, and I can't really ensure my safety if I bring less." So it's better not to bring anyone, and it seems that I am sincere when I go alone, I believe that even if Zhu Gaochi doesn't miss the old feelings, he has to look at the matter of ascending the throne, and he won't touch me at all. ”

Tang Ming dropped these words, ignored Li Ba, pushed him aside, and quickly got on the boat. Under Li Ba's watch, the treasure ship left the port at the fastest speed and soon disappeared into the vast sea.

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to directly let the army come to deal with Tang Ming and avenge his father, it was indeed as Tang Ming expected, and there was another reason in it.

Friendship naturally exists, but it can only account for a small part, after all, it is now the revenge of killing his father, even if it is a brother, sometimes he has no choice but to kill his relatives in righteousness, not to mention that he and Tang Ming are just ordinary brothers.

As Tang Ming said, the real reason why Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to touch him was because of the throne. Now he has not yet ascended the throne, the country is still very unstable, and the large army stationed in Beiping has to be used to prevent the news of the emperor's death in addition to suppressing those ministers.

Those ambitious guys in the Ming Dynasty will take the opportunity to rise up, and if the army of Beiping is sent to encircle and suppress Tang Ming, the revenge is likely to be avenged, but in the end he is likely to die in the hands of the rebels.

So now he has to be patient, at least when the country has not really stabilized, he will never act rashly. As for Tang Ming, as long as he successfully ascends the throne, it is not up to him to decide when he will fight.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the two agreed to meet in the afternoon, but Zhu Gaochi arrived at the dock of Tianjin Wei under Zhu Yong's escort early.

Zhu Yong had already put the entire wharf under martial law, and all civilian merchant ships were cleared out, and without any reason, Zhu Yong used violent means to drive away all the merchant ships that were loading and unloading goods. This included anyone on the docks, not even the government officials who worked here.

The 3,000 Praetorian Guards, all armed with flintlock pistols and embroidered spring knives at their waists, surrounded the entire dock. Zhu Gaochi had to give Tang Ming a dismount, and also to prevent him from coming with many guards or armies. He also arranged nearly 100 treasure ships and thousands of soldiers at sea, making foolproof preparations.

Tang Ming came a little late, because of the problem of the distance, although he was a little late after the day and night, but fortunately, it was in time, and Zhu Gaochi was also very patient waiting for his arrival.

Seeing that Tang Ming didn't bring anything, especially his left and right hands Li Ba or Fei Xin, there were only a few guards who were close to protect him and a treasure ship.

After the boat docked, Tang Ming went ashore alone, and even the flintlock pistol that he had never left was left on the boat by him at this moment. Such a scene really surprised Zhu Gaochi, in addition to admiring Tang Ming's courage, he also knew that this was actually his style of 'boldness'.

Zhu Yong personally greeted Tang Ming on the dock, and when he saw that he only brought a treasure ship, not even a powerful subordinate, and went ashore alone, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Aren't you dying?" Do you really believe that the prince will not kill you? ”

Tang Ming slanted at Zhu Yong, who was leading the way, and said with a smile: "What is there to do or not to die, the facts are in front of you, do you think that with a few powerful guards, you can protect my safety under such a strict situation, I don't think so!" ”

Zhu Yong looked back at Tang Ming in surprise, suddenly winked at him and said, "Actually, sometimes you seem to be very brainless and impulsive in doing things, and you have your crooked reasoning, and I don't know what to say about you." In short, I would like to remind you that although the prince will not do anything to you objectively, it does not mean that he really won't. Don't irritate him by talking well, don't have an accident when something happens, I'm not going to be able to handle it! ”

This is obvious, Zhu Yong is clearly saying that he will try to ensure his safety, but only within the scope of his ability.

Tang Ming gave him a grateful look in understanding and said, "Thank you!" ”

Zhu Yong waved his hand without looking back, and said nothing, he had already arrived at the post house in front, he directly led Tang Ming to the staircase to go up to the second floor and said: "The prince is in love, I can only send you here, and you have to go by yourself for the rest!" ”

Tang Ming seemed to hear a hint of bad premonition from his words, but he held on to his confidence too much, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, and he smiled and walked up the stairs.

Coming to the corner of the stairs, Tang Ming understood what Zhu Yong meant by reminding him to be careful just now. I saw that every block of the entire remaining staircase was blocked by two wicked men with big shoulders and round waists, and a fleshy face. And it seems that they don't mean to get out of the way and go upstairs.

Tang Ming frowned, paused for a moment, and then stepped forward and squeezed hard. With Tang Ming's figure, he may not be as good as a villain. So when he squeezed up, he naturally couldn't shake the men who looked like hills, and as soon as he went up, he was immediately pushed back by them. (To be continued.) )
