Early the next morning.

Outside the castle.

Zhu Tong wears soft armor, black armor, a long sword at his waist, and a cloak is blown by the wind and hunts.

Behind him were 500 elite armored soldiers, and 500 people stood there with weapons in hand, giving people a very heavy pressure.

Among the five hundred armor soldiers, there were fifty carts of grain, and Zhu Tong planned to use this grain to negotiate with their Jurchen clan.

Zhu Yuanzhang and all the ministers came here to see off Zhu Tong. The high etiquette is worthy of the countryman.

Looking at Zhu Tong's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little relieved, and said with emotion in his heart: "Tong'er has really grown up!" Now this appearance has a bit of a heroic meaning. ”

At this moment, Zhu Tong dismounted and came to Zhu Yuanzhang, and saluted respectfully: "Minister Zhu Tong to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Aiqing, let's be flat, you don't have to be so polite." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, the minister has prepared the things to go to the Jurchen clan, and he can leave at any time." Zhu Tong said with a solemn face.

"Okay, it's worthy of being a good son of our Daming, since it's all ready, then we won't say anything, we just need you to remember one thing, whether this cooperation is successful or not, we will definitely come back safely." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"The minister respectfully follows His Majesty's teachings, and the minister will live up to expectations this time." Zhu Tong said in high spirits.

Li Shanchang on the side couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and said in his heart, I didn't expect this Zhu Tong to have a little courage, although he was very unhappy with Zhu Tong, but if this trip failed, it would not be a good thing for Daming.

As a Ming Xiangguo, he naturally knows the pros and cons of this, and he has an indescribable feeling for a while, so he looks at Zhu Tong like this.

And Hu Weiyong on the side has repeatedly suffered setbacks in confrontations with Zhu Tong, and can't help but be full of resentment towards Zhu Tong.

Otherwise, after succeeding again this time, his position in His Majesty's heart will definitely be more important, and with the support of the Tang family and the Xu family, by that time, it will be too late to target him.

Liu Bowen on the side knew the inside story, and saw that Zhu Tong's current appearance was quite majestic of His Majesty, and said with a smile: "I wish Lord Zhu all the best on this trip and return triumphantly." ”

"Thank you, sir, Tongding lives up to expectations." Zhu Tong responded with a smile.

And Yang Xian on the side was much more casual, walked straight forward, patted Zhu Tong's shoulder, and laughed: "Good boy, I really didn't misunderstand you!" has the courage, this time I believe that with Lord Zhu personally going out, the matter of the Jurchen clan will be perfectly solved. ”

"At that time, I will indirectly help your father-in-law and others, and I, Daming, will also eradicate the trouble."

"I wish Lord Zhu a smooth sailing and a safe return on this trip, and when I come back, I will definitely wash the dust for Lord Zhu."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be able to come back safely, you just wait to take out the most precious wine in the house and get ready, don't be reluctant!" Zhu Tong said heartily.

"Don't worry, I won't be stingy." Yang Xian responded with a smile.

After that, Zhu Tong looked at Tang Yanke and Xu Miaoyun.

Soon Zhu Tong came to them, looked at Tang Yanke first, and pretended to joke: "Yan Ke, how do you see me wearing this armor?" Isn't there a few flavors of my father-in-law? ”

"Cut." Tang Yanke said with a roll of his eyes.

Zhu Tong stepped forward and hugged Tang Yanke, and said with a firm face: "Okay, it's time for me to go, don't worry, I'll come back safely." ”

"When I am away, you will be the main mother of this house, take care of our children, and take care of our home."

"I know, mother-in-law, my father didn't have such a mother-in-law when he went on the expedition." Tang Yanke tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said.

When Zhu Tong heard this, he smiled, then let go of Tang Yanke and came to Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun didn't dare to look at him for a while, her face was slightly red, just last night, she handed over her body to the man who was now wearing black armor.

Zhu Tong was the first to speak: "Miaoyun, I'm leaving, promise you, I will come back safely this time." ”

"Well, then you should be careful on the road." Xu Miaoyun lowered her head and whispered.

Although Xu Miaoyun is not good at performance, she is a relatively cold person, and it is already surprising that she can make the posture of this little woman now.

Zhu Tong turned around and walked towards the army, and after a while, Zhu Tong turned over and rode his horse, and said loudly: "Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell, just don't live here, rest assured, this trip Tong will live up to expectations, and return safely with good news, you are here to wait for good news." ”

After that, Zhu Tong looked at the five hundred armor soldiers behind him and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

When a group of armor soldiers heard this, they followed Zhu Tong in the direction of the Northeast Jurchen clan.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Tong disappear in front of him, and said with emotion: "Tong'er is really the pillar of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Okay, Tong'er has also set off, let's stop here today, let's all disperse."

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the palace with the accompanying guards.

When the ministers heard this, they slowly began to disperse.

......

Daming Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the top of the main hall and said to the celebrant and eunuch on the side: "Secretly Xuanjin Yiwei leads the two tigers to meet you. ”

"Okay, minion will do it."

With that, the celebrant and the eunuch turned and left.

After a while, the two tigers of the Jinyi Guard came to Zhu Yuanzhang with the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and saluted respectfully: "The two tigers of the Jinyi Guard meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite." Zhu Yuanzhang's deep voice came from the desk.

"Is Zhu Tong's side ready?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a solemn face.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready, and the elite of our Jinyi Guard has been secretly arranged along the way, they are all good hands, and the minister has instilled in them the idea of swearing to protect the eldest prince Zhu Tong."

"No matter what happens, these people will definitely protect the eldest prince as soon as possible, no matter what the price is, your majesty, you can rest assured, the eldest prince will be safe and sound on this trip." The second tiger of the Jinyi Guard said with a serious expression.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled, "Okay, this matter is good." ”

"It is an honor for a minister to be able to do things for His Majesty." The second tiger of the Jinyi Guard responded.

"Okay, on this basis, let's send some people from Jinyi Guard, we are in the capital, and no one knows the truth in the palace, we are fine." Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Erhu nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty." ”
