The commander of the Jinyi guard made Jiang Xian stand silently not far behind Zhu Quan, and his slightly pale face looked even more cloudy under the light of the torch.

Lan Yu was covered in blood, covered in a heavy flail, and stared coldly at Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who was a foot away, even though he was a prisoner under the ranks and was tortured, his eyes were still so unruly and unruly.

Jiang Xian saw Lan Yu escorting his subordinates to arrive, and immediately waved his hand. Seeing the gesture of the commander, the Jinyi guards around him immediately stuck the torch in his hand diagonally on the surrounding pillars, exited the courtyard, and disappeared into the night.

Zhu Quan looked at the blue jade in front of him, his mood was very complicated, in the past, Lan Yu was loyal to Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, and was very hostile to himself and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, but he was afraid that not only himself, but also Zhu Laosi regarded it as a big trouble, but he was in this situation, seeing this unstoppable Liang Guogong, whose life was in an instant, but he could not have the slightest pleasure of victory in his heart, but had a deep and inexplicable sadness.

"If you don't do it yet, when?" Although Lan Yu is empty-eyed, he is not a stupid person, seeing this situation tonight, how could he not guess the purpose of Zhu Quan's coming, and said with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Quan slowly pulled out the three-foot long sword that he took from the wall of the blue jade bedroom, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "This king is not qualified to take your life. ” ”“

Lan Yu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and immediately sneered and said: "When did you become a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, when you should make a decision, but you are following the example of that woman's children." ”

Zhu Quan turned a deaf ear to Lan Yu's sarcastic words, and after a long sigh, he smiled bitterly: "Those gentlemen who reprimanded you with a high sounding voice today, when he is bullied by the Tartars in the future, he may cry bitterly, hoping that a wicked person like you Lan Yu will help them avenge their hatred, and raise their eyebrows." Speaking of this, what I think of in my mind is that in the past, when I went on an expedition to the desert with the army, Lan Yu on the side of the fishing sea held a long tassel in his hand, and the horse raised dust, chasing and killing the figure of the Northern Yuan Emperor Togus Timur, the blood in his chest was uncontrollable, and he was slashed with a sword.

Lan Yu was bound to die, seeing Zhu Quan swinging the sword when he didn't move, but when he saw the sword light falling, there was a sound of cracking the wooden shackle in his ears, and the sparks splashed in his hand couldn't help but lighten, and when he stared closely, he realized that Zhu Quan's sword mixed with internal force fell, and his wooden flail and the chain between his wrists had been cut off by the three-foot long sword.

Jiang Xian stood on one side, seeing Zhu Quan slashing off the shackles with a sword, he was still silent, after the tense scene in front of the Lanyu Mansion, tonight under his secret order, the roof of the courtyard under the edict has already ambushed countless Jinyi Guard's subordinates with strong bows and crossbows, not to mention the seriously injured Lan Yu, even the martial arts strong Zhu Quan can do anything? He had doubts about Zhu Quan's identity in the past, and he felt helpless that he couldn't start, but at this time, seeing Zhu Quan's amazing move, he had an inexplicable expectation in his heart. Since Zhu Yuanzhang's secret order to deal with Lan Yu, he has long known that this Hongwu Emperor, who is like a stone, will never be tolerant of those involved in Lan Yu's rebellion, and will not tolerate anyone who endangers today's Ming Dynasty prince Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Quan looked at the blue jade who had thrown off the shackles, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Erhu asked this king to bring this sword to you." With a flick of his wrist, he threw away the three-foot long sword in his hand. Seeing Lan Yu's unruly eyes and face, he suddenly understood why Wang Erhu was dying, but he wanted to ask himself to entrust Lan Yu's long sword to him personally. A man who once fought bloodily for his own nation and avenged his hatred should have a man's way to die.

Lan Yu flipped his wrist and took the long sword, an extremely familiar feeling came from the palm of his hand, and immediately knew that this was the sword he hung on the wall of his home, recalling that in the past, this three-foot blade had killed the Northern Yuan Tartar soldiers in his own hands and the blood flowed like a river, remembering that this three-foot blade had also been used by the stubborn Northern Yuan concubine to cut himself, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but swell up a bitter smile, and asked astringently: "Erhu asked you to entrust this sword to me?" How is he at this time? ”

Zhu Quan bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The second tiger has already taken the first step. ”

The raindrops of soybeans finally fell drippingly, and the electric light flashed in the dark sky, and the sky and the earth were suddenly reflected in a snowy light. Lan Yu's fingers caressed the cold and sharp blade, and he heard Zhu Quan say that Wang Erhu had already "taken a step ahead", and the thunderous sound rolling in his ears was like the horn and war drum that shook the sky on the side of the fishing in the past, and the pride in his chest was overwhelming, and it was difficult to restrain himself. At this moment, he heard such the power of heaven and earth, as if he had returned to the battle of Jin Ge Iron Horse who took the lead among thousands of troops, swept the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and leveled the Golden Horde, and roared wildly and laughed: "There are brothers on the Huangquan Road, and Lan's life is enough." With the long sword in his right hand, he slammed his backhand at his heart.

The long sword passed through his chest, and the blood gushed out from Lan Yu's mouth, but as if he didn't feel any pain, he raised his last strength to pull out the long sword, and under the lightning, he saw that the three-foot long sword was incomparably bright, and there was no longer the stain left by the blood stains of the Tartar woman in the past.

Zhu Quan stood on the side of the blue jade corpse, looking up at the lightning that flashed in the dark sky from time to time, and was unaware of the heavy rain that was blowing in his face, and after a long sigh, he secretly thought to himself: After Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, died early, and Zhu Yunwen canonized Emperor Hongwu as the prince, the bloody storm of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable and coming. ”

Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Xian to stand quietly behind Zhu Quan, and witnessed the scene of Lan Yu wielding his sword and cutting himself, but he didn't say a word. He had been humiliated by Lan Yu's whip in the past, and what he thought about was that one day he would put this arrogant and domineering Liang Guogong to death, and vent his anger in his chest, and today he saw the death of Lan Yu, who he hated the most, and he should have been open-minded, but the strange thing is that at this moment, the depression in his chest has not dissipated at all, but is even heavier. Lan Yu didn't say a word to himself until he died, he didn't even speak ill of himself, he didn't look at himself squarely, it was obvious that when this empty-eyed Ming warrior was about to die, he didn't put himself in his eyes, the commander of the brocade guard, this disdain made him can't help but clench his fists, and his nails were unconsciously sunk into the flesh.

In the imperial study of the Forbidden City, Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Quan and Jiang Xian's life, and after knowing that Lan Yu was dead, he bowed his head slightly but did not speak.

Zhu Quan saw Zhu Yuanzhang's indifferent expression, recalled his lightning speed, and the means of disposing of the blue jade, a slight fear and chill arose in his heart, so he resigned and left.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Jiang Xian tell about the scene outside the Liangguo Mansion today and the details of Lan Yu's suicide, and his face couldn't help but be filled with anger, so he wanted to order Jiang Xian to arrest Zhu Quan and put him in the Imperial Prison.

Suddenly recalled in his mind that since Zhu Biao's early death, Zhu Yuanzhang still changed his mind, turned his head and said to Jiang Xianshen: "Early tomorrow morning, you go to the palace to announce the decree, and let your subordinate Jinyi guard escort Zhu Quan back to Daning." ”

Jiang Xian originally wanted to take advantage of Zhu Quan's sympathy for Lan Yu to bring him down in one fell swoop, but when he heard the emperor's words, he was extremely disappointed or helpless, so he had to bow down and withdraw from the palace.

The spacious imperial study was quiet, and Zhu Yuanzhang had a slightly tired look on his face, sitting alone behind the desk. Recalling Zhu Quan's sympathy for Lan Yu's actions, he was still angry in his heart, thinking of Zhu Di, the king of Yan who turned back to Yingtian by his secret order, but was sent back to Beiping by Jiang Xian in the middle of the road, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and secretly thought to himself: Di'er has always had a strategy, and this time he gave up halfway, but I am afraid that he will not be willing in this life and this life. Today, when your father is still alive, you naturally don't dare to make a mistake, and when he is doubtful about the lord of the day, he will not have that delusion.

It turned out that he had let Zhu Quan take up the throne of Daning and become the prince with the heaviest military power in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to garrisoning the fortress Daning and deterring the barbarians in Mobei, what was more important was to drop the next chess piece in the rear of Beiping, where Zhu Di was the domain, thinking that it would contain him and make him dare not covet the throne and pose a threat to Zhu Biao. Today's grandson Zhu Yunwen was canonized as the prince by himself, and he will inevitably be suspicious of the lord and the country in the future, in order to avoid Zhu Di's delusional thoughts, Zhu Quan commanded the army in Daning, and it is more necessary to form a yellow bird in Beiping.

At dawn on the second day, Zhu Quan sat on the "dark clouds covered with snow", and came outside the city under the "escort" of a hundred brocade guards, and led himself to escort the Korean envoy Li Chengyuan and the leader of Wara, Mahamu, to the south, and the 500 troops who stayed outside the city left the camp and embarked on the return journey back to Daning in the north.

Three days later, a "blue jade" with a disheveled hair and a similar figure was escorted to the execution ground by the brocade guards, and his three clans were beheaded. With the death of the first brave and warlike general of the Ming Dynasty in the late Hongwu period, the beginning of the case of Lanyu's rebellion, a bloody storm quietly kicked off.

After more than a month, Zhu Quan stationed on a high slope of the horse, looking at the Daning City that was faintly visible on the plain, thinking back to his Xu Ying's voice and smile, he couldn't help but ride his horse away, galloping forward, leaving a group of military horses and brocade guards far behind.

Just as the dusty Zhu Quan stepped into the palace, she was already pregnant for several months, and Xu Ying, who had a slightly bulging abdomen, was sitting in the bedroom, combing on the bronze mirror, recalling that Zhu Quan had escorted the North Korean envoy, and it had been several months since the leader of Wara returned to Daning, and he couldn't help but worry about his stomach, and he was very worried.

Zhu Quan rushed to the bedroom in the backyard of the palace, and when he quietly probed his head, he saw Xu Ying's pretty back sitting a few steps away, obviously not knowing that he was turning around, and suddenly had a playful intention in his heart, so he stepped lightly and tiptoed into the room, intending to give Xu Ying an unexpected surprise.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ying had followed his teacher Qin Zhuofeng to practice martial arts since he was a child, and at this time, he had already heard the sound of slight footsteps coming from his ears, and it was obvious that someone had entered the room, and he couldn't help but slightly crouch and show his eyebrows and secretly wonder. You must know that as a princess, she is in the bedroom here, and she is her personal maid, and she is not allowed to summon or trespass, but who is so bold? Just as he was about to turn back, the figure of Zhu Quan's thief flashed vaguely in the bronze mirror, and the childlike heart suddenly rose, pretending not to know. Seeing Zhu Quan tiptoe behind him and pounce on him, he immediately grinned and hit back with his right elbow.

Seeing Zhu Quan curl up and fall to the ground after snorting, Xu Ying stood up and turned around and smiled at him: "Which daring thief dare me to sneak into the palace, but I didn't expect it to be you." Although her strength was very measured, the tip of her elbow was aimed at the acupoint of Zhu Quan's waist, and she expected that this sneaky husband had already restrained the acupoint at this moment, although it was not a big problem, but she was sore, and she couldn't get up for a while.

Zhu Quan has been practicing martial arts with his master Qin Zhuofeng for a long time, and his martial arts are still higher than Xu Ying's, and when he saw his beloved wife attacking, he was slightly evaded by his waist during his busy schedule, and he had already let the acupoints be controlled, and he was unharmed at this time, but he was still lying motionless on the ground.

Seeing that Zhu Quan was motionless, Xu Ying couldn't help but panic, thinking that she had just injured Zhu Quan a little hard, so she hurriedly leaned down and leaned over to check Zhu Quan's situation carefully.

Zhu Quan closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, but when the smell of his beloved wife's hair came from the end of his nose, he was extremely uncomfortable, and finally couldn't help but sneeze hard. It turned out that Xu Ying's hair was hanging low when she looked down, and the end of her hair swept at the end of Zhu Quan's nose.

Xu Ying suddenly saw Zhu Quan, who was motionless like a dead fish, suddenly moved like this, and couldn't help but be slightly startled, but his waist was firmly held by a pair of big hands, and Zhu Quan, who was lying on the ground involuntarily, fell to his chest.

Zhu Quan firmly hugged Xu Ying's soft waist, gave her a wet kiss on the cheek, saw his beloved wife's pink cheeks red, ashamed, and couldn't help laughing proudly, and felt Xu Ying's abdomen bulge slightly when she enjoyed it, and suddenly recalled that she had been pregnant for several months, so she turned her gently delicate body over and lay in her arms.

Although Xu Ying was also a lively character when she was a girl in the past, she had to pay attention to a dignified and virtuous attitude in front of a group of subordinates as a princess. Unexpectedly, Zhu Quan Nephrite Wenxiang hugged him with a full heart, and refused to let go, and immediately said with joy and disgust: "Such crazy energy in broad daylight, where does he still look like a prince and commander." ”

"Didn't you say that the thief, this king came here today to steal incense and jade, and there is a lot to be paid attention to." Zhu Quan said with a grin.

Xu Ying heard what Zhu Quan said about "stealing incense and stealing jade", couldn't help but smack him gently, struggled to get rid of Zhu Quan's embrace, stood up and tidied up his clothes, and looked back to see Zhu Quan lazily lying on the head of the bed, and said angrily: "You turned back to Yingtian, why did it take so long to come back?" Huizu has always been good? ”

Zhu Quan heard Xu Ying ask his brother Xu Huizu, and recalled that when Ying Tian went to visit the mansion of Wei Guogong, this brother-in-law couldn't help but have a headache when he said coldly to him, and said with a wry smile: "What else?" Every time this kid sees me, he is as black as Bao Gong, and he can't wait to slash this king on the head, but his complexion and spirit are not bad. ”
