Zhang Zhi's footsteps on the roof of the carriage were not stable, and he used the embroidered spring knife to *** the inside of the car, which supported his body and stabilized his figure.

Although it was only a palm, Zhang Zhen could already judge that the internal strength of the man in black was above himself.

This also further corroborates his guess, the status of the person behind the man in black must not be low, otherwise he would not be able to invite a master like the man in black.

The man in black smiled sneeringly and said, "Zhang Yan, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, your strength is good, but it's a bit wishful thinking to keep me, if it weren't for the thousand-faced people today, you and Zhu Yunxi would both die, and it is really not worth exchanging Zhu Yunxi's life for the lives of my subordinates, so ...... Wouldn't it be nice for each of us to go our own way?"

Hearing this, the thousand-faced man sighed in his heart again, no wonder the overseer let him follow Zhang Lu, it was really a clever plan.

Jinyiwei's colleague Zhang Yu still can't believe it, let alone a black-clothed masked man?

But now there seems to be no other choice but to stop.

Zhang Lu put away the embroidered spring knife and said, "Okay, let's go our separate ways, please."

The man in black smiled and beckoned, and led his men to the west.

It wasn't until these black-clothed men disappeared from sight that Zhang Zhen took Zhu Yunxi into the carriage, of course, before entering the carriage, Zhang Zhen didn't forget to tell the thousand-faced man, "It's troublesome for the thousand-faced brother to drive."

Just came with Zhang Lu on a war horse, and when he just broke into battle, the two war horses died under the knives of those black-clothed people, which also made the thousand-faced man feel a pity, now that there is no means of transportation, the thousand-faced man doesn't care about being a groom, he picked up the horsewhip and sat directly in the coachman's position.

Zhu Yunxi in the carriage still had palpitations, he didn't want to be looked down upon by Zhang Lu, so he tried hard to puff up his chest.

But he was so scared just now, his body was still shaking, and after he straightened his chest, he was shaking even with his robe, which looked really embarrassing, Zhu Yunxi could only choose to give up, and simply leaned on the carriage to rest.

Since entering the carriage, Zhang Zhen sat there and closed his eyes to recuperate, it was really not very pleasant to meet Lan Yu and Zhu Yunxi yesterday, so Zhang Lu didn't want to talk to him much today, so he could only choose to close his eyes and recuperate.

For a while, there was silence in the carriage, which made Zhu Yunxi, who had just experienced life and death, feel too insecure, so he wanted to find something to say.

But what common topics do he have with Zhang Lu? After some inner struggle, Zhu Yunxi finally whispered, "Thank you."

Zhang Zhen opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief, this look made Zhu Yunxi a little uncomfortable, so he asked softly, "What do you think I do?"

Zhang asked, "Are you thanking me?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly.

Zhang Yu said: "You don't have to thank me, I didn't think you were a good person in my heart, the reason why I saved you was just that I didn't want anyone to die in front of me for no reason. Now that I know that someone is going to assassinate you, I will not be able to let this assassination succeed."

This place is not far from Jinling City, if assassinations can happen here, then is there a pure land in this world? This is the insistence in Zhang Lu's heart, there are too many things he can't control, but he hopes that at least here in Jinling City, the laws of the Ming Dynasty can bind the vast majority of people.

….

After saying these words, Zhang Lu closed his eyes again.

Silence has also returned to the cabin.

After a few breaths, I only heard Zhu Yunxi whisper, "Can you talk to me, I...... I'm a little scared."

His voice was faint and tinged with a hint of cowardice.

But Zhang Lu still didn't want to talk to him, so he shouted outside, "Senior Brother Thousand Faces, I've been sitting in for a long time, why haven't I seen you driving?"

It was true that the carriage had not moved, but the man with a thousand faces said helplessly outside, "You didn't say where to go, haven't I been waiting for your order?"

Zhang Yu said, "Go back to Jinling City, my home."

I only heard a "snap" outside, and the man with a thousand faces shook the horsewhip

It was very loud, and he said, "Alright, let's go."

The carriage moved slowly, but Zhu Yunxi was unwilling, he rushed directly to Zhang Chen, and said eagerly, "Go back to Jinling? Are you crazy? There are people in Jinling City who want to kill this king! What's the difference between going back now and sending me to death?"

Zhang Yan pushed Zhu Yunxi back and said, "You stay back, I'm not used to men getting too close to me."

Zhu Yunxi was still roaring: "Don't go back! I'm not going back to Jinling! I don't want to die! I'm going to Ruchang."

Xu was annoyed by the noise, and Zhang Yan directly slapped Zhu Yunxi in the face, this slap was not very strong, but it still beat Zhu Yunxi to sit down.

If it had been the usual, Zhu Yunxi would have been furious, but today's experience told him that the identity of a county king is simply useless, and it is easy to kill him and leave him outside in this wilderness.

So Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything more, just covered his cheeks and sobbed secretly in the corner of the carriage.

Zhang Lu sighed, and then explained: "For you, going to Ruchang is indeed the best choice, no one dares to do anything to you in your fiefdom, but the distance from Jinling to Ruchang is not close, if those who want to kill you are ambushed along the road, do you think I and the Thousand Faces can protect you?" You've seen the strength of those men in black just now, if they find other helpers, do you think you still have a chance to live?"

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but ask, "Then you can live when you go back to Jinling City?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "At least in Jinling City, they don't dare to make a bold move, if someone makes a move in Jinling City, then it is a provocation to the imperial power, Your Majesty will not allow it, and Jinyiwei will definitely find out the people who want to kill you, so if those who want to kill you are smart enough, they will never do it in Jinling City."

Zhu Yunxi calmed down and thought about it, and felt that what Zhang Lu said was very reasonable, so he asked again, "Zhang Yun, you are Jinyiwei, you must know who wants to kill me, right?"

Zhang Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, there are a lot of people who have offended your character, and everyone you have offended wants to kill you. Moreover, you used to plague Jinling City, and all you relied on was Lan Yu, and now that Lan Yu has also been arrested, his sworn enemies in the court naturally can't tolerate you."

Zhu Yunxi naturally knew that what Zhang Zhen said was the truth, but he still opened his eyes in disbelief and asked Zhang Zhen for confirmation: "Are there really so many people who are looking forward to my death?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, your failure to compete for the crown is also the biggest bane, and it has become the most unstable factor in the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people with intentions who will try to use you to provoke disputes, so in the eyes of those courtiers who want to maintain stability, they also want you to die."

Night rivers and lakes.
