Xu Dong looked down at the pale face of the White Lotus Holy Maiden and was silent for a long time. Who would have thought that the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, who single-handedly mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to revolt, would be such an ordinary and inconspicuous peasant girl......

"Fengtian took the luck, and the emperor's edict said: Duweifu pro-army control, Jinyi Wei Wupin town envoy Xu Dong, loyalty, courage and honesty, due diligence, and several miraculous achievements. He was not afraid of danger, and went into danger alone, killing Gu Dongji, Shen Qi and others, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect. and won the head of the White Lotus Sect and returned to the White Lotus Demon Girl. The 200,000 white lotus remnants were leaderless and fell apart, and the people of Hunan turned from danger to safety, and I was very relieved! As I often say, there are three loyal ministers, who are fearless, conscientious, and dare to plan for the world! Xu Dong's virtue can set an example for the ministers! Tejia named Xu Dong as the commander of the pro-army of the Governor's Mansion, and the deputy commander of Jinyiwei from Sanpin. Give 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 10 horses of sweat and blood. Give the capital a mansion and thirty servants. Give me a handwritten plaque of loyalty. I hope that he will continue to be virtuous, and do not live up to the period of my time! Chin this! ”

In today's capital, whether it is a peddler or a prince or nobleman, they all know that the most unoffending person in the world is that in addition to Xia Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, Huang Jin, the governor of Dongchang, and Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, there is one more Xu Dong. It is rumored that the emperor's favor for Xu Dong is even higher than the first three. The people even thought that Xu Dong was the illegitimate son of the emperor, and they all called Xu Dong "the king of the east" behind his back, but Emperor Jiajing didn't care, and made fun of Xu Dong because of this.

Regarding the folk rumors, Xu Dong didn't care. Now Xu Dong and Xiaoman live in the big mansion of the imperial gift, and dozens of servants and maids are waiting. For two days in a row, Xu Dong didn't do anything else except go offline to eat and sleep and deal with some official business, so he was busy receiving gifts......

In the past two days, the officials and nobles of all sizes in the capital have almost stepped on the threshold of the Xu Mansion. is a little busy, Xu Dong even feels that the facial muscles cramp from laughing in the past two days. But if you can't stand it, this ceremony is very heavy! After two days of hard work, Xu Dong received at least 400,000 taels of gifts and silver! Not to mention some other bits and pieces, Huang Jin even sent two manors outside the city, nearly 1,000 acres of fertile land to Xu Dong. Lu Bing was very pragmatic and directly sent 20,000 taels of silver.

Finally, a wave of gifts has been given, and those who don't want to give gifts will naturally not come. Xu Dong was finally able to clean up for a few days, but he didn't expect something to happen.

On this day, Xu Dong lazily lay on the recliner in his home, eating grapes, drinking wine, and watching Xiaoman dance the knife there. A pleasant face. But I heard the noise in the outer hall, and I saw Lu Bingfeng running in in a hurry, followed by a few maids from the Xu Mansion, and a few maids cowered as if they wanted to stop Lu Bing but didn't dare.

Xu Dong said helplessly: "I said Brother Lu, do you often run into people's back houses like this?"

Lu Bing scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Rude brother!" My brother and sister are there, too. Lao Lu, I was in a hurry and forgot the etiquette for a while. ”

Xu Dongqi said: "What can make your brother Lu so anxious?"

Lu Bing hurriedly said: "Something happened!" Something is wrong! The Five Princes were kidnapped! ”

"! Who is so bold! The prince dares to rob too? Who is it? How did you sneak into Ouchi? Xu Dong exclaimed.

Lu Bing said with a crying face: "I really don't know who robbed it, the saint is furious!" Order the Jinyi Guard to make a quick investigation. But there has been no news at all since last night! I was so anxious that I couldn't do anything, so I came to ask my brother to think of a way! ”

Xu Dong said angrily: "Last night? You didn't tell me about last night until now! ”

Lu Bing muttered, "This ...... Isn't it that you have been busy these two days, brother, brother is thinking, first look for the five princes, maybe you will find it......"

Xu Dong snorted and said, "Brother Lu is red when he sees my meritorious service, right?" Thinking about it, I want to make a big contribution, right? ”

Lu Bing looked embarrassed and said, "It's my brother's fault in this matter!" But now this matter is pressing on our Governor's Mansion! Brother, you've got to figure out a way! ”

Xu Dong sat down and said, "Let's talk about the situation of the five princes first, you also know that I am basically confused about the capital and the imperial court."

Lu Bing replied: "The fifth prince was born less than a month ago, and Concubine Jiang Su was born, and the saint named the fifth prince Zhu Zaidong. Because the prince is not yet full moon and his blood is not yet wet, he does not live with Concubine Su, but lives in the Lufu room with the palace nurse. Last night, a palace maid wanted to smuggle the five princes out of the palace, but she was discovered by the guards as soon as she arrived at the Shenwu Gate, but she didn't expect a group of black-clothed people to rob the five princes! Those black-clothed people had strange martial arts and ruthless hearts, and the Praetorian Guards killed more than a dozen people and didn't save the five princes, and even the palace maid was killed by them. He wounded a man in black, but the man in black saw that there was no hope of escaping and actually stabbed himself to death......"

Xu Dong was surprised: "Self-stabbing to death? Can you tell anything from the weapons and the items on your body? ”

Lu Bing shook his head and said, "There are no items on the body of that man in black that can be traced, and the weapon used is also an ordinary single knife. However, according to the guards who fought with the men in black last night, those men in black seemed to be accustomed to holding knives in both hands. ”

Xu Dong stood up and said, "Let's go, enter the palace!" After that, he went back to the room and changed into a scarlet three-grade leopard military attache uniform, covered with a unicorn robe, hung up the supreme sword, and hurriedly went straight to the palace with Lu Bing.

When he arrived at the funeral room in the palace, Xu Dong carefully looked at the body of the man in black, and saw that the man was extremely short, less than 1.5 meters, but his hands were knee-high, and his palms were rough and calloused. It shows that this person has been holding a knife for many years. There is no hair, and it looks like it has been shaved off for less than two days. There were four wounds on the body, and the fatal wound was in the lower abdomen, which should have been a half-foot-long wound that was pierced horizontally from the left abdomen.

Xu Dong looked at the face of the man in black for a long time, suddenly tore open the man's trousers, and glanced at the knees and shin bones of the man in black. Then he turned around and went to the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as I arrived at the Qianqing Palace, I heard the sound of smashing porcelain. Faintly hearing Emperor Jiajing's angry scolding, Lu Bing shrank his head beside him, and he didn't dare to go in.

After letting the eunuch pass the word, Xu Dong and Lu Bing walked into the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jiajing sat on the jade bed angrily, and when he saw Lu Bing, he asked: "Lu Bing!" Didn't find the Five Princes! ”

Lu Bing knelt down with a panicked face and replied: "Weichen is a capital crime!" The Five Princes have not been found yet, and the gates of the city have been sealed, but no trace of the thieves has been found......"

Emperor Jiajing scolded: "Waste! Unexpectedly, let the thieves rob the prince from the forbidden palace! It's a shame! What a shame! ”

Xu Dongji said: "The emperor is angry! Regarding these thieves, the disciples already have eyebrows. They must not be in the capital at the moment, but they can't run! ”

When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he stepped down from the jade bed and took Xu Dong's hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Xu Dong, I know that only you can save the fifth prince." As soon as I was born, I felt that this son was very similar to my father's eyebrows. You must save the child! Whoever did this, I won't spare him! ”

Xu Dong helped Jiajing sit back on the jade bed, and replied: "Emperor Qiyu, the disciple carefully examined the body of the thief, this person is extremely short, the shin bones are very short, and the front end of the knee is flat, which should be caused by long-term kneeling, and his hands have calluses caused by long-term knife refining. And the fatal wound was seppuku. So this person is not my Ming people, but Japanese people! And it's a samurai of the Wa Kingdom! ”

Jiajing said angrily: "Wow! These thieves have frequently plundered the coastal areas of our Ming Dynasty, and now they dare to sneak into the capital to rob my prince! I'm going to tear them to pieces! ”

Xu Dongji said: "Obey!" The disciple immediately left Beijing, caught up with the thief, rescued the five princes, and broke the thief's body into ten thousand pieces! ”

Emperor Jiajing said again and again: "Okay, good! It's worthy of my unicorn! In my eyes, you are no different from my emperor! Go ahead and save your son! Save your royal brother! ”

Xu Dong bowed and withdrew......

With a roar, Xu Dong was dressed in a brocade robe and jade robe, and the silver armor of the dragon Xiaoman rode two sweaty and bloody horses, followed by hundreds of brocade clothes and horses, galloping out from the south gate of the capital, and the pedestrians on the road hurriedly dodged aside, watching hundreds of horses roar away all the way.

In Weihai, Shandong, in a burst of horses' hooves, dozens of knights galloped on horses. The people on horseback were all short in stature, wearing the cloth clothes of ordinary Ming people, but they all carried sharp blades at their waists.

One of them said to the leading knight, "Arai-sama, we have already run 1,600 miles. The time for the rest of the horse is too short, and the person can hold on, but the horse can no longer bear it! ”

The leader said, "Can't stop!" This time, we are under the order of the general, no matter what means are used, we must let the Ming Kingdom open the treaty port! Now the Ming Kingdom only allows the trade with me Japan to trade with a mere four thousand stone ships a year, what use can this be! We snatched the son of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom this time, and as long as we send it back to Japan, we can force the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to trade with our Japan! Such a great achievement, the general will definitely reward us! I, Arai Kanbei, may even be named the lord of a city and a country! ”

After squinting his eyes and fantasizing about the majesty of becoming the lord of the city, Arai Kanbei turned around and shouted, "Hold on a little longer, you guys, there are less than two hundred miles, and we will be at the beach!" There's a ship waiting for us there! I, Kanbei, promise you that when you return to Japan, you will each receive at least 300 koku or more fiefs! ”

All the samurai were in good spirits and replied, "Hey! Serve the Shogun! ”

At this time, a samurai who was left behind suddenly shouted, "Arai-sama! The warriors of the Ming Kingdom have caught up! ”

Arai Kanbei looked back and saw that a scarlet knight was roaring ten miles away! Arai Kanbei hurriedly said: "Ming Kingdom Jinyi Guard!" These samurai are powerful! There are more of them than we do! Come on! Head east! Look for a boat again along the coast! Give me Your Highness! As he spoke, he took a baby from a samurai, held it in his arms, tied it with a strip of cloth, and galloped on his horse.

On the gravel plains along the coast of Shandong, two cavalry teams are galloping desperately. The horses of the Jinyi Guards chasing behind were better than the horses of the Japanese samurai in front, and the distance was slowly shortening.

After more than half an hour, the distance between the two sides was less than two miles, and the Arai survey guards were anxious, and the war horse under his crotch was also foaming at the mouth, and he was about to die.

"Arai-sama! See! Our ship! A samurai suddenly shouted a loud cheer, and Arai Kanbei pointed in the direction of him, and sure enough, a Japanese-style Ataka ship was docked on the shore in the distance.

"Yo Xi! The god of sunshine really still favors us! Ha ha! We are saved! Quick, rush over! Arai Kanbei was overjoyed, pulled out a short knife with a rib difference, and stuck his backhand in the horse's buttocks, and the war horse was in pain, neighing, and spread his four hooves and ran desperately.
