Chapter 21: The Jade Dragon of the Snow Ridge (4)

"Okay, okay, please inside, please inside." Mu Ying turned sideways with a smile on her face.

"Lord Zhu, the emperor has been in good health recently?" Everyone sat down in the main hall of the Mu family's courtyard, and when the next person served fragrant tea, Mu Ying took a sip and said.

"Don't hide it from General Mu, Zhu has been away from the capital for more than half a year and has not returned." Zhu Wenyu got straight to the point.

"Oh?" Mu Ying seemed surprised, paused, looked up and said, "Didn't Lord Zhu come to Yunnan on the orders of the emperor?" ”

"Zhu was ordered by the emperor to slightly inspect the political achievements and official style of the officials along the way during the outing, but I came to find Marquis Mu but had nothing to do with the emperor's order, but the matter was a little urgent, so I had to use the Qincha gold medal as a stepping stone, hehe." Zhu Wenyu smiled.

"Haha, what do I say, Lord Zhu is a fast talker, Mu admires it!" Mu Ying laughed. He thought that Zhu Wenyu was from the capital, and thought that because of something in Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang sent some kind of messenger to intervene, and after doing it for a long time, Zhu Wenyu was not newly sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he let go of most of his heart. It stands to reason that Zhu Wenyu should be guilty of using the Qincha gold medal so indiscriminately, but Mu Ying was originally born in the army, "he will not be subject to the orders of foreign monarchs", this kind of matter of power is not uncommon, it is not strange to see it, Mu Ying has a bold temperament, and will not take this kind of thing to heart. Second, Mu Ying, as Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, naturally knew that Zhu Wenyu was Zhu Yuanzhang's more trusted celebrity in recent years, and he had a meritorious role in rescuing the driver in a royal assassination, and even if this kind of trivial matter was sued, there would be no result, so he laughed it off.

"But I don't know why Lord Zhu came to Kunming this time?" Mu Ying suppressed her laughter and pretended to look at Zhu Wenyu casually.

"Zhu is here for Lijiang this time." Zhu Wenyu was too lazy to go around in circles and was straightforward.

"Lord Zhu, please speak."

Zhu Wenyu explained the matter of Qingshi Village, explained the matter to the back and forth, and said that he had ordered the two sides to temporarily suspend the army for a month, waiting for the news here: "Master Hou, because Zhu did not want to have more casualties, without the consent of Lord Hou, he made his own initiative to use the gold medal of Qin Cha to order Zhao Liang to temporarily suspend the army, which is offensive, Zhu Mou is here to accuse in advance, this move is by no means intended to disturb General Mu's strategy of commanding troops, and I hope General Mu will forgive me." "Mu Ying is Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, and he is a soil emperor in Yunnan, Zhu Wenyu doesn't want to have any misunderstanding about this matter, offending him is a small matter, and it is a waste of effort to make this matter unmediated.

"Haha, what did Master Zhu say? It's really serious, it's serious. We are all people in the court, we are all working for the court, Lord Zhu is working hard for the affairs of Yunnan, Mu is too late to be grateful, where do you dare to blame Lord Zhu? Mu Ying laughed, put away her smile and said: "Regarding the matter of Lijiang, first the prefect of Lijiang reported that the Naxi people rebelled and begged me to send troops to pacify it, and I sent Zhao Liang with a thousand military horses over, and then it was just that the Naxi people rebelled and never fought down, and I wrote to ask for help, and I was thinking about this matter for a while." I wanted to send troops to subdue those Naxi people first, and then sit down to talk about it, but now it seems that there is no need to fight at all, in fact, everyone wants to sit down and talk, so that it is best to be able to use soldiers without soldiers, not to mention, it will not only cost the court money and food, but also die a lot of my Ming soldiers, and it is useless, it is really a headache. Lord Zhu's move was really meritorious, so I immediately sent someone to Lijiang to discuss with the people in the bluestone village. ”

"That's for the best." Zhu Wenyu said happily.

"I wonder if Lord Zhu will talk for the people of Qingshi Village?"

"No, no, no." Zhu Wenyu hurriedly explained. "Zhu just didn't want to see the death or injury of the sword soldiers, and hoped that everyone could sit down and discuss it well, so he had to do it. As for the matter of Qingshi Village, Zhu didn't know much about it, and he didn't know anything about local government affairs, so it was really inconvenient to participate in it. ”

"Oh, I see." Mu Ying thought that Zhu Wenyu came specifically to intercede for Qingshi Village, but unexpectedly, Zhu Wenyu made such a statement, and immediately felt a lot more relieved, and said with a smile: "That is the case, Ben Hou will immediately send the right person to Lijiang in the next few days." ”

"Hou Ye, the January period is approaching, Zhu is afraid that the two sides will fight again, so he has to hurry back, Hou Ye can send personnel slowly, but General Mu had better give Zhu a warrant, I will go back to Zhao Zongbing to see, let him wait for Hou Ye to send someone over, so as not to start again."

"Oh, this matter is easy to do, Mu will write it immediately, but this time it is really hard for Lord Zhu to travel thousands of miles."

"A little bit of work, why worry about it." Zhu Wenyu smiled. I didn't expect Mu Ying to be so simple, the trip was extremely smooth, and Zhu Wenyu also felt happy in his heart.

Coming out of the Mu family's courtyard, Zhu Wenyu stretched his waist, turned back to Maya and said, "Maya, let's rest for a day, and then hurry back tomorrow, right?" Maya didn't have any objections.

It took more than ten days on the way back for the two, and when they arrived at Qingshi Village, there were still five days left in January, Zhu Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally rushed back, as long as the warrant arrived in the hands of Zhao Zongbing, the two sides could really put down the knife and gun, sit down and have a good talk.

As soon as Zhu Wenyu and Maya returned to Qingshi Village, they only heard the shouting that shook the sky, the two sides were fighting in front of the village, and there were dozens of people lying on the ground, some were rolling in **, some were motionless, and they were about to die.

Zhu Wenyu was taken aback, before leaving, he and Ajia Ade Zhao Liang had already said that they would temporarily stop fighting for a month, but now that the time of January has not arrived, how can they fight again?

"You have to stop the people on both sides first." Zhu Wenyu thought to himself, one flew and jumped forward, rushed into the battle on both sides, while urging the real force, the two palms waved together, and the dark energy separated the Ming officers and soldiers who were fighting from the Naxi people, and shouted in his mouth: "Stop!" Stop it! Don't fight!" Maya also drew her sword and rushed into the crowd, pointing a little left and a right block, and shouting, "Stop!" Don't fight!"

But when the two armies fought, they were already red-eyed, so they only picked up their weapons and rushed to each other, and there were hundreds of people in a scuffle, how could they be separated? This side was separated by Zhu Wenyu's palm, and when he went there, the two of them fought again, Zhu Wenyu did this, but both sides thought that he was the other party's helper, and they moved forward desperately, and several Ming soldiers and Naxi people surrounded him at the same time, and several people died in the formation on both sides for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Wenyu knew that something was wrong, and his mind turned, urging Zhenli to sweep his sleeves around, sweeping more than a dozen people around him to the ground, a little under his feet, his body had already jumped up, and he grabbed a few arrows that were shot over.

I saw hundreds of people fighting in the open space outside the walled gate, one in the east and one in the west, chaotic and chaotic. Zhu Wenyu took a deep breath, and the true power of the Yi Qi Health Recipe surged from the dantian, and a breath of breath spewed out of his mouth through the abdomen, chest, and mouthpiece, and he already let out a long roar.

This long roar was really earth-shattering, resounding through the sky, and because it was urged out with real power, it was even louder than the sound of hundreds of people fighting fiercely. The hundreds of people who were fighting outside the Qingshi Village, as well as hundreds of reserve Ming troops, plus thousands of men, women, young and old, all of whom felt their ears ringing, dropped their swords and guns in their hands, covered their ears with both hands, and their faces showed painful looks. The bamboo buildings on the bluestone village also trembled slightly, which was more powerful than the roar of ten thousand tigers and ten thousand lions.

This howl screamed like a cup of tea, and saw that the hundreds of people in the melee had stopped, and Zhu Wenyu just took it, and the whistle stopped, only to see that the hundreds of people raised their heads one after another, looking at Zhu Wenyu standing on the top of the bamboo building.

Zhu Wenyu raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Qingshi Village Ajia Ade Da Tusi, General Zhao Liang Zhao, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, please come out for a while, Zhu has something to say." ”

Hundreds of people were dumbfounded in the scuffle, and the battlefield that was still killing before this moment was silent at this time, and they all watched Zhu Wenyu, such a monster came out of nowhere, and the huge voice just now was actually made by such a person, which was really unbelievable.

I saw Ajia Ade coming out of the bamboo building in the bluestone village, looking at Zhu Wenyu on the top of the bamboo building, raising his hand and saying loudly: "Zhu Gongzi, the Ming army does not keep its promises, it has not arrived in January, but it came to attack five days ago, Zhu Gongzi's kindness I Ajia Ade has a heart, and we Naxi people have a heart, but our Naxi people are by no means so easy to bully, even if the official army steps on the corpse of my Ajia Ade, we Naxi people will never give in!"

"Ajia Ade, Zhu has just come back from Kunming, and he hasn't understood what is going on, can Da Tusi wait for Zhu to ask and then talk in detail, what does Da Tusi think?"

"Okay, I'll have to wait for Zhu Gongzi's words!" With a wave of his hand: "Collect the troops!" The Naxi people on the battlefield turned back to the gate one after another, and even the corpses of the Naxi people who died in the battle were also carried back. Standing in front of the walled gate, one by one, most of them were still stained with blood on their faces, but they looked resolute.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also gathered in formation, still pointing their spears forward, and they were very neat.

"Is General Zhao Liang here? Please come out and tell me. Zhu Wenyu looked at the Ming army and shouted loudly.

Listening to the sound of clattering horses' hooves, a general-like person rode out of the front of the battle slowly on a horse, and arched his hand towards Zhu Wenyu: "Ding Yi, the deputy chief soldier under the account of the Marquis of Daming Mu, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

"Didn't General Zhao come? Ask General Zhao to come out and speak. Zhu Wenyu didn't know this Ding Yi, and when he saw him come out, he felt a little strange, and he only called Zhao Zongbing.

"The chief soldier was killed by this bluestone village, and Ding was ordered by the imperial court to clean up the traitors of the bluestone village. Who are you? Dare to stop my Ming official army?!" That Ding Yi is very stubborn, although Zhu Wenyu's hand makes him feel that this person is definitely not a person, but he is a strong martial artist, but he does not let go at all in his speech, and when he says the last sentence, he is already very powerful.

Zhu Wenyu was taken aback: "General Zhao is dead?" When? How did he die? ”

"Seven days ago, I was assassinated to death by a traitor in this bluestone village, and we will avenge the chief soldier!" Ding Yi raised his arms and shouted, and the Ming officers and soldiers also shouted in unison: "Revenge!" Revenge!"

"Ajia Ade Da Tusi, you sent someone to kill this Zhao Zongbing?" Zhu Wenyu turned his head and asked.

"I never knew that Zhao Liang was dead, and I never sent anyone." Agarad shook his head and replied crisply.

Zhu Wenyu thought about it and made sense, if there was such a capable person on Ajia Ade's side, who could easily assassinate the commander of the army in the Ming army camp, Qingshi Village would not have been besieged by more than 1,000 Ming troops for so long, so he turned around and said: "Ding Yi, just now Ajia Ade said that General Zhao's death was definitely not done by Qingshi Village, and there may be something strange about this matter." Everyone still put a truce for the time being and find out about this matter. ”

"Who are you? Why does Ding want to listen to you? Although Ding Yi felt that Zhu Wenyu might have a lot of background, he was not convinced, and he had to ask clearly.

"I am Zhu Wenyu, a thousand households of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guard." Zhu Wenyu said loudly.

"What's the proof?" Ding Yi said in a deep voice.

Zhu Wenyu took out the imperial gold medal and shook it off, the gold medal had already shot out with a whistling sound, and it was nailed to the small tree beside Ding Yi like an arrow, almost two or three out of ten were firmly embedded in the trunk. Ding Yi looked at it and was taken aback: "Lord Qincha? He hurriedly dismounted and fell to the ground. Although the Ming officers and soldiers in the back didn't know why, when they saw that the lord would bow down, they also bowed down in unison, and they were stunned by Ajia Ade and the others on the opposite side.
