Chapter 41: The Forty-first Day of Ascension
Zhu Changjin's face was gloomy, and a piece of rice paper in his hand that had not dried was shattered into powder under his unconscious.
Lin Zhuozhuo...... Are you trying to escape?
Or rather, she was caught.
He sat in front of the desk and waited for a long time, until an hour later, Yu Shu, who received the letter in the suburbs, galloped all the way and hurried back.
"Lord Wang."
Yu Shu knelt on one knee and looked ahead, but he didn't understand why the prince had a stinky face, as if Concubine Lin had transferred the prince again. It's the same.
"Why hasn't Lin Zhuozhuo arrived yet?"
Zhu Changjin pinched his brows, closed his eyes and thought about what was abnormal recently.
"My subordinates don't know." YU Shuda. The big head was full of a lot of questions, and he knew everything about the affairs of the palace in the thief camp, because he was looking forward to the concubine and the prince having monkeys all day long.
Concubine Lin will be angry-
Isn't it the prince, you cut Concubine Lin's bed in half so that she has no bed to sleep on?
Isn't it normal for the little girl's family to get angry because of this?
Zhu Changjin couldn't hear what was in the mind of the kneeling thing, but he remembered something unusual.
After he left the state capital today, he felt that for a moment, as if someone was watching him.
The look was too obvious for him not to feel.
If it were just some people who coveted him, it would not be possible to ...... by now
Wrong!
Lin Zhuozhuo, she is his side concubine, and she is also the person he brought to Lingzhou openly, and she is the only person around him who can threaten him.
And the young spirits.
She has been with Lin Zhuozhuo for the past few days, even if those dogs in the capital don't recognize Lin Zhuozhuo, they should always recognize the young spirits, right? There's no reason they shouldn't notice her.
Zhu Changjin clenched his fists and said coldly: "Yu Shu, you go and check if there are any spies around." ”
"Yes!"
Yu Shu received the order, and just as he was about to withdraw, he saw the prince and his old man standing up with a stinky face, "That's it...... You stay and wait for Yan Feng, and this king will go in person. ”
"Lord Wang, you ...... it, you don't have to.
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Changjin disappeared at the door.
Yu Shu opened his mouth, only feeling that the prince was really sensible, and he was so good to Concubine Lin that he even went to find it in person if he didn't go home.
Zhu Changjin searched around, and finally let him find out where Lin Zhuozhuo appeared last.
Teahouse.
"Yes, yes, this is this girl, I just saw her sitting by the window today, yes, right there." Xiao Er led Zhu Changjin to the place where Lin Zhuozhuo had sit, and pointed to the table.
"You see, this is the place where the girl bought a jar of good wine and sat here drinking with another girl, and the girl was very good-looking...... Ay? Uncle, your knife is very good, haha, uncle, don't do it first, did you do something wrong......"
Zhu Changjin glanced at Xiao Er, who was trembling, and slowly withdrew the knife.
Xiao Er was frightened by Zhu Changjin's cold eyes, and his legs became weak, and as soon as the knife was sheathed, he ran away.
Zhu Changjin sat in the place where Lin Zhuozhuo had done, looking down at the street, and suddenly pointed a little strange, and looked down to see that it was an earring in the corner.
It's Lin Zhuozhuo's earrings.
She still had it yesterday, and it was adorned with a pale pink peach blossom, because it really matched her complexion, he glanced at it several times, and remembered it clearly.
The peach blossoms in my memory are very delicate. Tender, as soft as her body that night. Soft, not like a human thing.
She's always been elf-like, and if this one was deliberately left behind while struggling, then there must be clues nearby.
However, with her weak appearance, how could she struggle.
It must have been left behind by her captors!
Zhu Changjin took a closer look, and there was a little blood stain on it, and his expression sank instantly.
They dared to hurt her.
The elders pondered, pinching the earrings and looking down at their surroundings, calculating where they would be routed.
After an investigation, Zhu Changjin suddenly saw a black shadow appear on an inconspicuous street corner, and the man was holding a bow and arrow, ready to attack him.
Zhu Changjin's pupils shrank, his body flared up, the man obviously found him, and when an arrow came, he quickly fled away, and when Zhu Changjin's hind feet arrived, the person was gone.
Those people were provoking him and making him lose his bearings.
Also see if you have the ability.
Zhu Changjin sneered, opened the paper on the beam of arrows, and wrote a line of words crookedly in cinnabar.
"When I met a beautiful woman, I went up to Chilian Mountain alone."
"......" Zhu Changjin looked at this "encounter" silently, and suddenly felt that the opponent was not so strong.
No matter what, he always has to go to this Chilian Mountain.
When he returned to his residence, he instructed Yu Shu to gather all the soldiers sent by the governor to suppress the bandits, and go to Chilian Mountain early tomorrow morning.
Chilian Mountain is the only place in Lingzhou that doesn't care about it, there are many mountains, trees, and bandits, even the government doesn't want to deal with them more.
Fortunately, this group of mountain bandits did not want to cause trouble, and only occasionally disturbed the surrounding area, and did not disturb the livelihood of the yamen.
But a few months ago, the bandits here suddenly became extremely vicious, and even robbed some strong men up the mountain, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, faintly playing the banner of anti-thieves.
Zhu Chang ordered Yu Shu to take people to ambush down, waiting for his code, he made an agreement with Yu Shu, with the cannon as the signal, and the cannon went up the mountain.
Yu Shu's face was expressionless, but his palms were already sweating.
The prince's illness is not yet complete, and he can't fight with people for a long time, if he encounters danger on the mountain, no one can really save him.
However, since the prince dares to go up the mountain alone, he will definitely have his own backhand, and the wisdom of the prince is not something that people like them who only care about fighting can guess.
The chiefs straightened out their robes and went up the mountain alone.
There are many bandits on the mountain, some of them are yellow and thin, and the clothes on their bodies that do not fit cannot cover their bodies, and when the wind blows, they will blow down a large area.
And some of them are oily and full of energy, looking at the big fish and meat waiting all day long, and they have searched for the people's fat and people's ointment.
However, in Zhu Changjin's eyes, there is no difference between the two.
They are all evil ghosts who eat people's flesh and bones, what does the difference between rich and poor have to do with him?
I'd rather steal and rob than be self-reliant, isn't this a waste?
He hated them so much that he longed to burn them all down with a fire.
The incompetent emperor only saw the glory and wealth in front of him, and only wanted his imperial brother to die, but he didn't notice how many maggots there were below.
Those scrawny people looked at Zhu Changjin one by one like a hungry wolf seeing a little sheep, but the aura of this "little sheep" was too cold, and they couldn't look him in the eye at all.
Several men in black clothes came straight to him, all with hideous smiles and knives hanging from their waists.
"The king of war has arrived, there is a loss of distance to welcome and a loss of welcome, come to Zhang San'er, make a warm-up dish for this war king!"
The black-clothed man at the head laughed fiercely, grabbed a yellow-faced and thin-skinned man casually, handed him his own knife, pointed at Zhu Changjin and said, "Kill him, today you are the deputy leader!" ”
That person's eyes instantly straightened, and he frantically raised his knife and rushed towards Zhu Changjin, but the next moment his body turned in a different direction, and slashed at the person who was the leader.
The leader of the knife fell in his hand, ending the life of the man, the leader of the knife was still stained with fresh blood, did not pay any attention to the blood on his hand, bowed slightly and made a gesture of welcome, with a smile on his face.
"Let's go, His Highness the War King."
The elders sneered and walked indifferently over the man's corpse.
Chilian Mountain is a group of crazy people.
"Ah, by the way, His Royal Highness the War King," the man said with a smile, "we don't have more than one of your women here, I don't know which one you will choose?" ”
Zhu Changjin's footsteps paused slightly, his heart sank, and he continued to walk towards the mountain.
