Chapter 39: Heavenly Evil
After ten days of repair, Lan Yu's army prepared to return to the court.
This battle killed more than 600 people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, captured more than 1,000 people, as well as cattle, sheep, and countless horses.
Zhu Yunxi has been going to the tent of Su He from time to time in the past few days, but fortunately, the four of them are in good health, although they bleed a lot, but after ten days, the wound has begun to scar, but their faces are slightly pale.
Zhu Yunxi didn't expect that it was these four Mongolians who sacrificed their lives to save him, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his previous distrust.
"From now on, you will be my brother in life and death of Zhu Yunxi."
He said loudly in front of two thousand Mongolian iron horsemen.
Then he took out 40,000 taels of silver tickets and stuffed them into the hands of the four people.
This scene made everyone's eyes show a trace of blazing, and they couldn't help but shout in unison again:
"Swear allegiance to the little third master......"
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, waited for everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly:
"From today on, Suhe, Bagen, Tuo Lei and Gaddas will each lead 500 people, divided into four teams, and return to Beijing with me."
Everyone agreed in unison, and they all felt that following the little third master was the most correct choice.
The army slowly returned to Beijing, and did not stop too many cities along the way, and after a few months, it was only more than 100 miles away from Ying Tianfu.
At today's marching speed, it would take two days at most to reach Yingtianfu.
Zhu Yunxi thought about Xu Miaojin who was about to meet, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But more than that, it's troubles.
After talking with Monk Daoyan in Beiping that day, he found that he was now involuntarily.
Originally, he just wanted to be a carefree little landlord, isn't it fragrant to warm the kang head for his wife and children every day?
But not anymore.
If you can't be the prince, then Lan Yu and these people will only die!
Even Dao Yan couldn't solve this problem, and he couldn't solve it even more.
So he has to be the crown prince!
He wasn't too sure about that goal.
Because this is Daming, not the workplace of his previous life.
Everything is too unfamiliar, and he can't do all the routines.
And historically, the fight for the crown prince is extremely risky, and the ending is almost a choice between two or the other.
When it happens, everything is OK.
If it fails, then the great probability is to go underground to meet the king of Hades.
It's a big gamble, so to speak.
Chips are your life!
"Forget it, I don't want to, what about love."
Zhu Yunxi lay on the bed, staring at the flickering candles in the big tent and thought to himself.
He turned over, and Xu Miaoyun's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind again.
"Fourth aunt, if Zhu Di and I turn against each other in the future, will you still hug me?"
He muttered in his mouth:
"If Miaojin becomes my wife, then when Zhu Di and I meet, how should these two sisters get along?"
For a while, his mind was a little messy, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
A bonfire was burning outside the tent, and Tuo Lei and ten guards patrolled outside Zhu Yunxi's tent.
His body had recovered, and his figure in the dark night was like a black tower, and his eyes were burning in the firelight.
There seemed to be a wind blowing in the air, and a faint fragrance wafted from the snort of Tuolei, like the wildflowers in the mountains, and the smell was refreshing.
He couldn't help but sniffle again, took a deep breath, and suddenly shook his body, feeling a wave of dizziness.
There were suddenly a few plopping sounds in his ears, and Tuo Lei's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was horrified to find that several guards beside him had fallen to the ground.
A photographable thought flashed through his mind, and before he could react, he saw the big black stone in front of him suddenly move.
As if blown up by the wind, the big stone suddenly grew larger in the air, and then stretched into a human form dressed in black.
The man in black fluttered like a fallen leaf, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into Zhu Yunxi's tent.
Tuo Lei's eyes were cracked, and at the moment when his body fell, he pulled a cylinder from his arms and pulled it hard.
With a thud, the cylinder exploded, and a rattling arrow flew into the night sky with a sharp chirp, and then exploded in the night sky with a dazzling light.
A cacophony of voices was instantly remembered in the camp, and the three leaders of the guards, Sukh, Bagan and Gaddas, came out of the tent almost simultaneously.
What caught their eyes was the fallen guard in front of Zhu Yunxi's tent, and the tow mine that was still clutching the cylinder with one hand.
"Little Third Master!"
The three of them shouted at the same time and rushed towards Zhu Yunxi's tent.
Zhu Yunxi was dazed, and a sharp and piercing voice suddenly came from his ears, and his heart sank.
He is very familiar with the sound of this kind of signal canister, and the Ming army patrolling at night will be equipped with it, just to warn when the enemy is found to be sneak attacking.
"Could it be that there will be an enemy attack on this place?"
As soon as the suspicious thought rose in his heart, a dark shadow pierced in directly from outside the tent.
Silent, like a Laoshan Taoist priest passing directly through the wall.
Zhu Yunxi was startled, and before he could make any sound, a short sword glowing with blue light had already stabbed him in the chest.
Zhu Yunxi was completely stupid, and felt like he was dreaming.
Isn't this special mother's plot only in TV dramas?
Why did this come alive?
...... He remained motionless, staring blankly at the dagger glowing with blue light in front of him, his mouth wide open, but he forgot to shout.
The short sword came in an instant, and a trace of excitement appeared in the black-clothed man's pupils.
You only need to go half an inch further, and 10,000 taels of silver will be in hand.
As a first-class killer in the Tiansha organization, he has absolute certainty about his shots.
The blue short sword is full of poison, and when he sees the blood sealing his throat, as long as he cuts through Zhu Yunxi's skin, Zhu Yunxi will definitely die!
But at this moment of lightning, a dry hand stretched out.
Ding!
The hand flicked its fingers and flicked it on the spine of the short sword, making a crisp sound.
The man in black felt a strong force surging from the short sword, and the short sword flew out of his hand.
He didn't have time to think about it, his toes were a little higher, and his body suddenly rose high, straight to the top of the tent, but there was an extra short sword in his hand.
Clearly, he wanted to cut through the roof of the tent and escape from there.
But just as he was getting up, the dry hand was gently resting on his shoulder.
The figure in black froze, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Click!
The withered hand tightened like an eagle's claw, crushing the shoulder blades of the man in black alive.
The man in black let out a muffled snort, the intense pain making cold sweat trickle down his forehead.
"Bag!"
He let out a dying roar, and his body turned, and the short sword in his other hand slashed towards the other hand with an afterimage.
The dry hand did not stop, and after crushing the shoulder blades of the man in black, he pointed like a sword, and poked it on the Tanzhong point on the chest of the man in black.
Bang!
The black-clothed man fell to the ground softly, and a strange cold instantly poured into his body, and in the blink of an eye, he trembled all over, and his eyebrows and hair had already formed ice flowers.
"Who sent you?"
Wang Jinghong's voice did not have the slightest warmth, and he stared quietly at the man in black on the ground.
The black cloth's lips trembled, and he used all his strength to grit his teeth violently.
Then a strange smile appeared on his face, and a wisp of turquoise blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth......
"It's a pity ......"
A shrill voice sounded, Wang Jinghong shook his head and sighed, staring at the man in black on the ground, his face showing a complicated expression.
Zhu Yunxi was stunned and looked at everything that happened in front of him.
After a while, he patted the edge of the bed and exclaimed in surprise:
"Old king, you, you ......"
Wang Jinghong turned his head and chuckled: "Little third master, is the old slave's body okay?" β
Okay, you're too damn good...... Zhu Yunxi jumped up from the bed and stepped in front of Wang Jinghong with a brisk step.
He stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Jinghong's withered arm.
He picked up Wang Jinghong's eagle-like hand and put it in front of his eyes to watch carefully.
There was a burst of amazement in his mouth.
Wang Jinghong immediately had goosebumps on his body, and he hurriedly retracted his hand, and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Little Third Master, you are ......"
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand again and again: "I'm not interested in you." β
He didn't expect that this Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch turned out to be a hidden master.
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the tent, and Suhe and others swarmed in.
They looked at Zhu Yunxi, and then at the man in black on the ground, and there was a trace of surprise in their eyes.
"Dongying Tiansha."
Wang Jinghong said lightly, bending down and tearing open the chest of the man in black, and a figure of a sun appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Heavenly Evil?"
Su He exclaimed in amazement, his eyes full of puzzlement.
Wang Jinghong nodded: "Tiansha is the killer organization of the Dongying people, who flows into my Ming Dynasty from the southeast coast, and has Dongying's unique ninjutsu, which can be ever-changing, and specializes in hiring people to make a living. β
After saying this, he sighed slightly:
"It's a pity that he died, otherwise he would have been able to find out who was behind the scenes."
At this moment, the tent curtain was lifted, and Chang Sheng walked in, he glanced at the man in black on the ground, and said with regret.
"The rule of heaven is that if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and you will never leave a living."
Wang Jinghong pointed to the black clothes and pointed to the green bloodshot at the corners of the person's mouth:
"They all have a highly toxic wax pill hidden in their tooth sockets, and once the mission fails, they will bite through the wax pill and die instantly."
"But who would hire such an organization to kill Zhu Yunxi?"
Wang Jinghong and Chang Sheng glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
A moment later, Lan Yu and Fu Youde rushed in, looking at everything in front of them, they were all shocked.
"I'm afraid that someone doesn't want the little third master to return to Yingtianfu alive."
Fu Youde said faintly, with an unconcealable anger in his eyes.
Lan Yu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said:
"This matter must be reported to Your Majesty immediately, if the person behind the curtain is found, I, Lan Yu, will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces!"
Zhu Yunxi looked dazed and ignorant, but there were huge waves in his heart.
"Grandma, someone will do it to Lao Tzu so soon."
He thought to himself, "But who will be behind the scenes?" β
In line with the principle that the greatest gainer is the murderer, he instantly thought of the power behind Zhu Yunwen.
"But do they have the audacity?"
"This is only a hundred miles away from Ying Tianfu, even if you want to do it yourself, then you should do it elsewhere?"
Thousands of miles from Checher Mountain to Yingtianfu, it is better to assassinate yourself anywhere than here!
But if not them, who would it be?
...... Zhu Yunxi felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the thin face of Monk Daoyan appeared in his mind.
"I'm grass! Isn't that the hell? β
Zhu Yunxi exclaimed in his heart, and suddenly felt a chill rushing straight to his vest.
Didn't we say we were going to have a fair matchup?
Nima!
This old fox actually sucks me!
...... Zhu Yunxi was cold all over his body, and then he realized that he was ridiculously naΓ―ve.
