Chapter 221: Letter from Home
The moonlight is just right tonight, but Zhang Lu has no intention of appreciating it.
Thinking about it carefully, what he has experienced since the beginning of the crossing is basically a struggle for power, although he doesn't want to participate in all this, but in the whirlpool, he doesn't even have the right to say no.
Seeing that there were more and more graves in the woods west of the city, Zhang Lu finally had the idea of escaping.
Perhaps as long as you leave Jinling far away and leave the power center of the Ming Dynasty, the number of graves will not continue to increase.
Zhang Yu shook his head, the top priority now is to heal his wounds, even if he wants to leave Jinling City, that good body is essential.
He discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to use his internal strength to heal his injuries.
This luck is a night of time, when the sky is bright, Zhang Lu finally ended his meditation, he got up and moved, the internal injury is basically healed, only the external injury on the calf is still a little painful, but it is not much of a hindrance, as long as the Jiuyang Sutra continues to be warm, it will heal in a few days.
Zhang Zhen ate some light breakfast at home, but the porter brought a letter from nowhere and presented it respectfully to Zhang Yuan.
"Where's the letter?" Zhang Yu asked as he wiped his mouth.
The porter opened his mouth and replied, "Young Master, this is a letter from my hometown."
Zhang Zhen frowned, at the beginning of his crossing, the uncle was still the privy council of the Great Yuan, at that time, after the Yuan court suffered several defeats in the battle with the Ming Dynasty, the nobles of the Yuan court would naturally send their anger and dissatisfaction to Zhang Yu, who was a Han Chinese.
Seeing the fangs of the nobles of the Yuan Court, and knowing that the great vitality was about to be exhausted, after several thoughts, Zhang Yu decided to return to his hometown with his family.
Zhang Yu's hometown was originally in Xiangfu, Henan, but later the whole family moved to Dengzhou Mansion in order to escape the war.
Zhang Yu took the family to Dengzhou Mansion in this way, and Zhang Yu also met Zhang Wuji during that trip, and also got the Qiankun Great Mind Shifting Method.
Except for the initial encounter with horse thieves and robbers, the rest of the road is quite smooth.
Zhang Lu still fantasized at that time that when he arrived in Dengzhou Mansion and met cheap relatives, as long as he had a sweeter mouth, those people would not take a big red envelope to kill themselves?
Many times, the fuller the ideal, the more skinny the reality.
When they arrived at Dengzhou Mansion, Zhang Yu's family was not warmly welcomed, but on the contrary, they were subjected to groundless accusations and abuse.
When Zhang Yu was an official, his relatives in his hometown received a lot of favors, and then he became a big family from the middle class.
But people, they are always forgetful, seeing that Zhang Yu has no official body, and even his belongings are pitiful, and he treats Zhang Yu's family with a cold face.
However, there are also elders in the clan who give Zhang Yu ideas, hoping that Zhang Yu can go south to join the Ming Dynasty, so that not only Zhang Yu will have an official body again, but the family will be able to go further in the future.
Zhang Yu has been a great yuan, and now if he takes refuge in the Ming Dynasty, he can't accept it in his own heart, he would rather be an ordinary person with no name, and he doesn't want to leave a name in the history books in the future to seek glory and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
So Zhang Yu didn't adopt this idea at all, but later, the people in the clan bullied his family more and more, and even Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu were often beaten by the teenagers in the clan to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.
….
Zhang Yu also had no choice, for the sake of Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu a good background and future, Zhang Yu could only take the family to set off again, and went all the way south to join Daming as a general.
Thinking of these pasts, Zhang Lu naturally didn't have much interest in those cheap relatives in Dengzhou Mansion, this is watching his uncle become an official again, and those relatives in the clan are hot again?
He took the letter directly and wanted to open it directly.
But the porter stopped him on the side: "Young Master, isn't this okay? It's a letter from my hometown, so let's forward it and send it to my master, right?"
Zhang Yu pursed his lips, but he was quite reluctant, with his understanding of his own cheap uncle, even if he was treated coldly by the family, as long as the family spoke, no matter what he wanted
Asking Zhang Yu to be as satisfied as possible, this is also the sorrow of this era, even death can not get rid of the brand of the family, and the honor and disgrace of the family is always above the personal honor and disgrace.
Zhang Lu knew that he couldn't change Zhang Yu's concept, so he didn't plan to send this letter to Zhang Yu, so he simply said to the porter: "Uncle and Brother Fu have both gone to Yanshanwei, that is a military position, if there is really something in the family, they can't help much. Fortunately, I'm an idler, and I'll just solve any major problems in my hometown."
Without waiting for the porter to reply, Zhang Lu directly opened the envelope and read it.
The letter was preceded by some scenes, but the writer of the letter put himself in a very low position, except for saying hello.
Zhang Zhen felt disgusted when he looked at this, and there were some rather obscure words and allusions mixed with them, which made him even more upset, so he simply skipped over these unnutritious places and saw the end of the letter directly.
At the end, he finally explained why he wrote this letter, mainly because the Japanese in Dengzhou have been rampant recently, especially in Ninghai County, where his family is located, but the officials here have colluded with the Japanese robbers, causing heavy losses to the family, hoping that Zhang Yu can help or think of a way.
In Zhang Lu's heart, such a family deserves to be wiped out, and he didn't plan to take care of it, but it involves the Japanese Kou, so he has to take care of it.
How could he not know what kind of disasters the would-be woon would bring to the land of China a few hundred years later? In the past, when I was in school, I read that period of history, and I always wanted to be able to wipe out the Japanese invaders, but now, when the opportunity comes, even if my ability can't run away to plague the Japanese country, it is very simple to kill a few Japanese invaders.
After reading the letter, Zhang Lu put it back in the envelope, and then said to the porter: "You go down, you don't have to trouble the uncle in this matter, and it will save him the distraction of leading the troops, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow."
The porter nodded, and then withdrew.
Originally, Zhang Lu didn't want to stay in Jinling, so he simply took the opportunity to kill the Japanese and left.
Of course, Zhang Yi is also Jinyiwei now, and if he wants to leave Beijing to do business, he always has to go to Jinyiwei's yamen to say hello, and he still has many people who need to say goodbye.
Zhang Lu went to the street to buy two jars of good wine and went to Jinyiwei, one jar was given to Jiang Xuan, and directly asked for leave.
Jiang Zhen didn't say much, just sighed and nodded, which was regarded as allowing Zhang Lu to leave Beijing.
Another jar of wine was sent to Luo Kedi's small courtyard.
Night rivers and lakes.
