The next day, on the road to Qufu.

Hundreds of cavalry escorted the two people, and quickly rushed towards Qufu.

When he arrived at a rest point, Zhu Zhangui said to Zhu Di, who was drinking water with a bitter face, and observed the disaster around him by the way: "Grandpa, you are cheating me!" If my father knew that I was taking you to Qufu, he would have to beat me to death. ”

Zhu Di snorted lightly and said, "Your father, this life is like this, I am afraid of this and that every day." People live all their lives, for what? Isn't it just for the sake of good luck? ”

"I worry about this and that every day, and I can't get by."

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

Isn't it all because you scared my dad like that!

didn't want to listen to Zhu Zhangui's nagging anymore, Zhu Di threw the kettle to Zhu Zhangui, got up and said: "The sage family has suffered such a big disaster, and I, the emperor, don't go to see it, it's a bit unreasonable." ”

"Besides, I don't come closer, I just take a look at it from a distance, and I'll leave when I've seen it."

Yes, Zhu Zhangui can be seen clearly.

Don't look at what the old man said is so beautiful, in fact, the real purpose is to see the Kong family die with his own eyes!

The team set off again and galloped all the way to Qufu.

If you don't run, you can't go fast.

The old man didn't greet Zhu Gaoxu and other accompanying officials at all when he came out, which would estimate that the old man was not there.

In this place in Shandong, where else can the old man go if he is not there?

It must have run to Qufu.

Therefore, Zhu Zhangui estimated in his heart that the second uncle was probably already leading people to chase this side frantically.

The old man probably understood this, so he hurried to Qufu.

Hundreds of kilometers away, put in the modern situation of highways, can be reached in an hour.

But in the era of the Ming Dynasty, the group rushed all morning, and the horses were almost tired to foam, before they arrived at the outpost on the edge of Qufu.

A plague occurred here in Qufu to prevent it from spreading outside.

Zhu Zhangui has set up checkpoints at various checkpoints and intersections, as well as places where people can go out, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without his warrant.

"The last general will see the emperor and see His Royal Highness!"

The officers on duty, who had already received the news, hurried up to greet them and bowed respectfully.

The old man bowed slightly, turned over and dismounted, and said to the officer, "Is the horse ready?" ”

Although the horses ridden by the group were all first-class horses, the horses could not stand it anymore after a long morning, and if they did not take a good rest, they would be wasted if they ran again.

In addition, the horses came from outside and were not disinfected, so these horses could not be allowed in.

"The emperor is ready."

The officer replied, glanced at the team of hundreds of people, and said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "But we don't have too many horses here, and the last general has only prepared more than 20." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand absently.

"20 horses is enough!"

When the old man was communicating with the officer, Zhu Zhangui was busy putting on protective clothing for the old man.

The protective clothing is made of leather, and the connections are sealed with fish glue, so it is no problem when the balloon is blown.

"Your Majesty, someone is catching up from behind."

Just as Zhu Zhangui was about to put on a mask for the old man, a knight rode over.

As soon as the old man heard it, he knew that it was Zhu Gaoxu and others who were chasing him, and he saw that he was in the place, and he was pulled back again, he must be reluctant in his heart, so he urged Zhu Zhangui again and again.

"Little cub, hurry up, your second uncle is going to catch up."

"Alright, alright!"

Help the old man tie his mask, as soon as Zhu Zhangui said it, the old man hurriedly ran to the horse, turned over and got on the horse one by one, and didn't even wait for the guards, and ran inside alone.

"Zhu Zhangui, you little bastard, you dare to bring your grandfather here, if I don't kill you today, you will be my second uncle."

An angry shout was heard in the distance.

"Stop him, let him wear a hazmat suit, and if he doesn't, tell him how dangerous it is."

Zhu Zhangui was so frightened that he hurriedly said to the officer, didn't care about the unfastened protective clothing, picked up a mask and got on the horse to chase the old man.

Zhu Zhangui and the old man didn't run far, and Zhu Gaoxu rushed over on a fast horse with an angry face.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, stop, stop!"

Seeing that King Han had no intention of stopping, the officer hurriedly led people to stand in the middle of the road and shouted for Zhu Gaoxu to stop.

"Get out of here!"

How could Zhu Gaoxu listen to these people, he was about to rush up in a daze.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, if you go in like this, you will be infected with the plague."

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the officer shouted at the top of his voice.

"Phew!"

The horse stopped with its hooves on its back in front of the officer, and Zhu Gaoxu jumped off the horse and grabbed the officer.

"Hurry up and get rid of the plague for me!"

The officer reluctantly pointed to the room at the checkpoint.

"His Royal Highness Han enters here, it's useless to eliminate the plague, you have to wear protective clothing!"

Zhu Gaoxu kicked up.

"Then why the fuck are you still stunned here? Don't hurry up and get it yet. ”

"Alas, alas, the subordinates will go here, you wait a minute."

Although the Shenji Battalion is not under the control of King Han, King Han is the prince, and if it is not a military order, the officers dare not refuse.

But you can't say no, but it's okay to slow down.

"Hurry up, you fucking hurry up for Lao Tzu."

Looking at the back that had disappeared in the distance, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly scolded his mother again and again.

It took a while to get fully equipped.

Zhu Gaoxu pushed away the officer who was wearing protective clothing for him, turned over and rushed into the anti-plague area.

When Zhu Gaoxu continued to set off, the old man and Zhu Zhangui had already arrived at the camp on the periphery of the Shenji Battalion.

"Grandpa, would you like to go in and rest for a while, or go to the well fence?"

When he arrived at the gate of the camp, Zhu Zhangui asked Zhu Di's opinion.

The old man looked at Qufu City in the distance, as well as the many well railings that were higher than the city wall, and said without hesitation: "Go and have a look first, if it's too late, your second uncle will catch up." ”

After speaking, the officers of the Shenji Battalion, who didn't care about coming out to greet him, turned his horse's head and went to the well fence.

Zhu Zhangui had no choice but to wave his hand and let the officers get on their horses and follow.

The group quickly came to the well fence outside the city.

The officers of the Shenji Battalion dispersed, vigilantly surging, while Zhu Zhangui and the old man hurriedly climbed the well railing.

"Whew..."

The old man is getting older.

The wild running all the way, coupled with the suffocation of climbing such a high well fence and protective clothing, made him start to breathe.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Zhu Zhangui, who was holding the old man, asked nervously.

Zhu Di waved his hand, gritted his teeth, climbed the last few steps, and stepped on the highest peak of the well railing.

"See the emperor!"

Several soldiers on duty above hurriedly saluted and greeted.

Zhu Di waved his hand to get a few people up, and strode towards the side facing the city.

There was a telescope placed there to monitor the situation in the city.

The old man knows how to use the telescope.

When Zhu Zhangui asked people to make this thing, he gave him one.

"Where's the guy who came yesterday?"

Zhu Zhangui looked left and right and didn't see Lu Zhen, so he asked a junior officer on the well railing, where did Lu Zhen go?

"Back to Your Highness, that person arrived yesterday when it was dark, came here to observe for a while and then entered the city."

The officer reported and added a sentence later.

"He didn't go in wearing a protective suit, and his subordinates heard from his brothers on shift that he didn't seem to be wearing anything when he came. I also heard that everything he said at the checkpoint was a lie, nonsense and something like that. ”

Zhu Zhangui sneered in his heart after hearing this.

Sure enough, if you want to find someone who is dead, the gods can't pull it back.

"What's going on in front of Kong's house?"

When Zhu Zhangui was communicating with the officer in a whisper, the old man lying on the telescope suddenly wondered.

Zhu Zhangui hurriedly stepped forward, took a short telescope from the officer's hand, and opened it to look in the direction of the door of Kong's house.

Zhu Zhangui almost didn't have fun when he saw it, he didn't have to ask about the scene in front of him, he could guess it.

I saw that at the gate of the Kong family's city, Lu Shangshu, who was not wearing any protective clothing, was angrily yelling at the soldiers who blocked his way.

A ladder fell under the city walls.

There were several corpses lying on the side of the ladder.

The wall above the ladder was densely packed with bullet holes

Obviously, this Lu Shangshu was lying on the ladder and looking inside.

As a result, when I saw that it was really a plague, I was scared on the spot and crawled down and was about to run away.

At this time, several members of the Kong family saw someone showing their heads on the city wall, and they might know Lu Shangshu, so they wanted Lu Shangshu to take them away.

Lu Shangshu may feel that his identity can deter the soldiers, so he directly took these people down.

As a result, he didn't expect the soldiers to be so ruthless, and when the Kong family was climbing the ladder, they were directly shot to death by the soldiers.

"Grandpa, it's Lu Shangshu, looking at this scene, it is estimated that he found that he was really scared of the plague, and he wanted to run back and was stopped by the soldiers."

"Humph!"

The old man, who probably saw the situation clearly, snorted coldly, and ordered to a soldier beside him: "Spread my message, tell him, don't forget what you said yesterday, if you dare to go in, you must have the courage to deal with it, and now you have run out, like what words?" As a scholar, are you worthy of me for making such a move? Is it worthy of the people of Shandong? Is it worthy of Confucian teachings? If you still want to have some face, just roll in by yourself, and whether you can survive or not depends on your creation. ”

The soldier quickly jotted down the message, repeated it loudly, and after the old man waved his hand, he quickly ran down the well fence and into the city.

The old man, who had finished speaking, was about to lie down and continue to observe, but inadvertently skimmed the small and delicate telescope in Zhu Zhangui's hand, kicked Zhu Zhangui, and snatched the small and delicate telescope.

"You bastard, you don't take out the small ones, you let me lie there and watch, you don't know that my waist is not good!"

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

You didn't ask yourself, you just lay there and watched as soon as you came up, and blamed me.

The old man looked at it with a small one, and there was no second small telescope on it, so Zhu Zhangui could only pout his ass and look at it with the big one fixed on the shelf.

"What about the emperor, where is the emperor?"

And just at this time, Zhu Gaoxu, who hurried over, also arrived.

As soon as he arrived, he jumped off his horse, grabbed the officer who was on duty under the well railing, and asked aloud where the old man went.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, the emperor is above."

Knowing where the old man was, Zhu Gaoxu pulled out the knife on the officer's waist and ran angrily above the well railing.

"Zhu Zhangui, you little bastard, I have to hack you to death today."

Zhu Zhangui, who was pouting his ass and lying on the telescope to look into the city, was startled by this roar.

When I looked back, I saw a man wearing a protective suit and holding a knife in a rage, slashing at the old man.

Zhu Zhangui's eyes widened, and he was groaning in his heart.

", second uncle, you are so brave!"
