Before Nangong Lei's words fell, Zhu Wenyu couldn't hold back and happily counterattacked, and with a move the "little grappler" of the Shaolin faction snatched the sword in the hand of the person in front, the sword walked the dragon, and his body was like electricity, and he had stabbed the two of them in the blink of an eye.

"Walk while fighting, don't fall in love with the war, go back to the palace!" Nangong Lei drank lightly, holding a sword in one hand, and supporting Zhu Yuanzhang with Gao Yu in the other hand, while Queen Ma followed closely and supported each other, and the five of them retreated step by step towards the palace. Zhu Wenyu fought and retreated, but the guns and swords blocked the ground, and he actually blocked all the seven or eight assassins from a foot away, and he couldn't get close to the remaining four people, and he actually had a slight upper hand.

In less than a bag of cigarettes, the officers and soldiers of Ying Tianfu had already heard the news and hurried to arrive, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the street. One of the assassins hurriedly said: "The officers and soldiers are here, the idea is too hard,!" The assassins scattered in all directions, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.

"Wechen's rescue is late, the crime deserves death, please ask the emperor to give the sin." Ying Tianfu, who rushed over, commanded the envoy to kneel in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's feet.

"Go back to the palace!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the five people stepped on the five horses sent by the officers and soldiers, and returned to the palace with whips.

The commander of the Tianfu Metropolitan hurriedly drove the passers-by away, and carefully escorted Zhu Yuanzhang and the others back to the palace.

Zhu Wenyu returned to Xianlan Courtyard, his heart was still confused, this fight he used one person to fight against the other party's seven or eight, although the fight was enjoyable, but it was confused, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, people were at ease, it was also a peaceful season, there was actually an assassination of the emperor, if it was investigated, I don't know how much turmoil it would set off, if the war broke out again, the people could not live in peace, thinking of the suffering suffered by the war when he was young, Zhu Wenyu couldn't help but shudder, "But don't fight again." ”

But the night passed uneventfully.

On the second day, the emperor announced that Zhu Wenyu would see him in the palace of his heart. Zhu Wenyu entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the desk, Gao Chan standing quietly beside him, Nangong Lei sitting on one side, and Queen Ma sitting on the other side. Zhu Wenyu didn't dare to be naughty, and bowed to the ground in a proper manner, but stood up on his own without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, and almost laughed at Queen Ma next to her, and shook her head with a smile.

"You little monkey, how dare you haunt me in the palace? If it weren't for Nangong Aiqing's explanation, I would still be in the dark. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"Your Majesty, I was also young and ignorant at the time, so I tried to find a way to fight, and then Lei Bo said that I wouldn't do it." Zhu Wenyu knew that Nangong Lei had told the emperor that the trouble in the palace was about him, and he was a little panicked, but seeing that the emperor's tone didn't seem to mean to blame, he was a lot more relieved, and he was not very afraid of his words.

"Wen Yu is careful to lose his honor in front of the king!" Nangong Lei drank lowly.

"You're sensible now? Forget it, forget it, Nangong Aiqing, if you want this splashing monkey to be quiet, don't talk about Aiqing, I'm afraid that the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't do anything about him, hehe. Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Little monkey, yesterday you were meritorious, and I won't pursue the haunting, and I won't be able to toss like this in the future, so that everyone can't sleep, haha, by the way, I still have to reward you, so I will reward you as a first-class guard."

"Please, old man, Your Majesty, how happy I am now, you set me a first-class guard, aren't you putting a horse cage on me? Uncle Emperor, please raise your noble hand, anyway, every time you go out and take me again, I will fight for you a few more times? I really can't do what kind of first-class guard. ”

"Wen Yu!" Nangong Lei really couldn't cry or laugh, did he talk to the emperor like this? Take a snort.

"Hehe, there are still people in the world who dare to bargain with me? Little monkey, you are the first, okay, okay, Nangong Aiqing, don't talk about him, where can you control it if I can't control it? In his previous life, he was a monkey with a pointed buttocks, and if he didn't make trouble, was he still called a monkey? Little monkey, the first-level guard I said is not for you to be the leader of the guard, it is just a false title, it is considered that I reward you for your meritorious rescue of the driver, you don't need to be on duty and don't need to lead the team, you still play with yours, only under the management of Nangong Aiqing, and receive a share of Lulu, so it's okay, right? ”

"That's pretty much it, hehe, thank you Emperor." Zhu Wenyu bowed, turned around and saluted Queen Ma and Nangong Lei: "Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Leibo." ”

"What are you thanking me for? That's the official given to you by the emperor, you don't need to thank me, I have to pay you back twenty taels of gold. Queen Ma smiled.

"Exactly, the queen didn't say that I almost forgot, and the debt I owe hasn't been repaid, chanting, take two hundred taels of gold."

"Two hundred taels?" Zhu Wenyu is about to faint, ten taels of gold is enough for a moderately rich family to eat for a year, what is the concept of these two hundred taels of gold? I can't spend it anymore.

In the blink of an eye, the chanting had brought the gold.

"Your Majesty, will the two hundred taels of gold belong to me? I can use it however I want, right? Zhu Wenyu pointed to the yellow gold in the plate.

"Yes, of course, I gave you two hundred taels of gold, and it will naturally belong to you, how do you want to spend it?"

"I want to keep twenty taels, then ninety taels to Raber, and ninety taels to the old master." Zhu Wenyu pondered.

"Hahahaha, the son can be taught, Nangong Aiqing, you will make a fortune this time, hahahaha."

"Wechen thanked God. Hooray, hooray, hooray. Nangong Leibai fell to the ground.

Returning to Nangong Lei's residence, Zhu Wenyu couldn't wait to ask Nangong Lei about the assassination yesterday, Nangong Lei said: "The emperor suspects that it was done by traitors in the court, or the remnants of the same party of the rebellious ministers that the emperor dealt with before. Yesterday I left the palace suddenly, how would I know if there was no thief? Fortunately, the thieves were not prepared, and they didn't know that you could do martial arts, so I was the only one to protect them, so I boldly assassinated, so the main messenger must be a person who is very familiar with the inner court. The emperor is reluctant to say anything about this matter for the time being, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Well, got it. The emperor knows about my practice? ”

"I said something, the emperor knows that you practice and learn swords from me, but I don't know the health secret, and I have also told the emperor that you are not my apprentice, just to teach me."

A few days after Zhu Yuanzhang's assassination, in a courtyard house in a remote corner of the palace, under a very weak and dim candlelight, the person in eunuch clothes was angry.

"What did I tell you? Don't act without my order? It was a fierce cough.

"Big brother, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger." It was still the man in black who hurriedly came over and patted the back of the person in the eunuch's costume in a hurry: "It's all Xue Gang's stupid fools, I just happened to go out of Beijing on business, and I didn't wait for me to come back, did I act rashly, is there any movement in the palace?" Eldest brother? ”

"Ahem, there hasn't been much movement in the palace, and the old thief doesn't seem to want to make a big deal about it." The man in eunuch costume coughed a few more times.

"Why is that?" The man in black was puzzled.

"I don't know, but it's a good thing for us. Since the last time Hu Weiyong's rebellion was revealed, the old thief was extremely careful and easily did not leave the palace. It turns out that we just want to kill the old thief Zhu and the Xu Da dog thief, but now that we have today's situation, we have to look farther, to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and restore our Han country, which requires us to be careful and not easy to act. Xue Gang's people are not successful enough to fail, second brother, you have to be more strict, don't let them ruin the great cause. ”

"This little brother understands, I will repair those rabbit cubs well, big brother, don't worry about this, it just so happens that the old thief doesn't want to make a noise about it, we can slow it down a little longer." The man in black answered.

"How many of us died this time? The corpses must be disposed of carefully, so that the officers and soldiers must not be aware of the slightest origin. ”

"None of them died, only four or five were slightly injured, and they deserved it. Hey, big brother, I heard those rabbit cubs say that it was Zhu Wenyu who rescued the old thief Zhu that day? It seems that he is quite tall. ”

"Young Master Yu? No way! Young Master Yu knows that he practices martial arts, but he has learned some tricks from those guards, and even if he doesn't have any martial arts at all, he must still be Nangong Lei's hand. Xue Gang's people may not be able to stab on the street, panicked in their hearts, and deliberately exaggerated for prevarication and punishment, you just don't know. ”

"I thought so too. Big brother, after all, this Nangong Lei staying in the palace is not conducive to our major affairs, and we have to find a way to get rid of him. ”

"Nangong Lei is a character, a hero, if he is not on the opposite side, he is actually a very good friend, and his friendship with me is not bad, but having him as the general leader is indeed a bit of a hindrance, maybe when it will ruin our big things. You talk to Number Two and look for a chance to get rid of him. By the way, second brother, is No. 2 reliable? ”

"Don't worry, this big brother, although No. 2 doesn't eat hard and soft, and he doesn't even care about my hand to catch him, he has a handle in my hand, and I'm not afraid that he won't listen to us."

"What's his handle?"

"No one knows about this in the rivers and lakes, and I only learned about it by accident. He was born under the Five Tigers in the south of the Yangtze River, but he was expelled from the door after committing a crime, and now the head of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is the son of his and the mother-in-law of the previous generation of the head of the family, he gave up looking for revenge on behalf of the master, and changed his name and surname to be incognito for this reason, if this matter is made public, his son will definitely be abolished by the elders in the door, this person is cold-hearted, but this son is his big heart, for the sake of his son can do anything. I threatened him with this matter, and he would do whatever he wanted, and I didn't worry that he wouldn't die for us. The man in black said slightly smugly.

"That's good, Ling No. 2 will find a way to get rid of Nangong Lei, and then become the head of the guard, Zhu Lao's life will be in our hands at any time, we must let him die and the country will be ruined, revenge my big man, and declare this deep revenge for the lord."

"Yes, good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, it is not that there is no reward, the hour has not come. After enduring it for more than 20 years, it's time for us to avenge the vengeance with Old Thief Zhu. The man in black gritted his teeth.

"Number Two doesn't know me, does he?"
