Chapter 8: Rescue or Assassination

Zhu Di nodded, his face thoughtful.

During this time in the jungle, the things He Qiu had were all eye-opening for him.

Such a talent, if he can enter the court as an official, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, He Qiu has never believed that he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Even going out of the mountain is to avoid talking about it.

"It's a pity."

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and immediately turned his head to look at Dao Yan and said, "Let's stay for three more days, if we can't impress Mr. within three days, we will leave here." ”

Meanwhile.

Outside the primeval jungle.

A large number of military tents are now stationed here.

in the main ledger.

After listening to the reports of his subordinate spies, Lan Yu had confirmed that King Yan might be lost in the primeval jungle.

"Lan Yu, is there a way to rescue you?"

Feng Sheng asked.

"What can I do?"

Lan Yu rolled her eyes and snorted angrily: "I heard from the locals, this jungle is a hundred miles wide, and there are many fierce beasts in it, if people go in, they will die!" ”

"Your Majesty only gave us seven days, and now there are only two days left."

A trace of melancholy flashed in Feng Sheng's eyes, and he said with a sad face: "As soon as the deadline comes, we can't find King Yan, and we all have to fall to the ground." ”

Hearing this, Lan Yu's back was cold.

Although he was not used to the vassal king, he was also afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's methods.

That's a murderer who doesn't blink.

"Let me think about it again."

Lan Yu held his forehead and began to think about ways to rescue Zhu Di.

"Then you think slowly."

Feng Sheng patted Lan Yu on the shoulder, got up and left the main account.

After Feng Sheng left, a trace of killing intent flashed in Lan Yu's eyes, and he turned his head and shouted outside the account: "Someone!" ”

As soon as the words fell.

A young man in armor walked in.

"Father-in-law!"

The young man got down on one knee and clasped his hands into fists.

The young man in front of him is Lan Yu's righteous son, named Lan Tiexin, who worships thousands of households.

"Tiexin, you have followed your father for many years, and you are the righteous son I value the most."

Lan Yu looked at his most important son and said, "As a father, I want to ask, is His Royal Highness King Yan in this jungle?" ”

"Absolutely."

Lan Tiexin replied with a serious face.

"Good!"

After receiving Yizi's answer, Lan Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness: "Now my father wants to explain an important matter to you, and I must do it properly for my father!" ”

"Please show me my father-in-law!"

"I will send a hundred henchmen to you, you go into the jungle overnight, find King Yan, and then ......."

Lan Yu didn't finish his sentence, but made a gesture to wipe his neck.

"Father-in-law, this ......"

When Lan Tiexin learned that Lan Yu was going to kill King Yan, his heart sank.

You must know that Zhu Di is the king of Yan, the son of the emperor of the dynasty, and assassinating the prince is a big crime of punishing the nine clans.

Lan Yu's move is no different from rebellion.

"What? Can't? ”

Lan Yu's eyebrows furrowed, and his tone was cold.

He is afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, but it does not mean that he is afraid of Zhu Di.

Besides, Zhu Di's domain is in Shuntian Mansion, and Shuntian Mansion is also the territory under his control.

If Zhu Di is allowed to arrive in Shuntian unharmed, wouldn't he be a nominal general?

Fortunately, he fought hard for half his life, and finally made a wedding dress for Zhu Yuanzhang's son?

How could Sapphire be willing to give up?

Moreover, in the early years, he felt that Zhu Di had the atmosphere of a son of heaven.

Now is the best time to assassinate Zhu Di.

Killing Zhu Di is good for himself and the prince.

As for how to explain to the court in the future, you only need to say that Zhu Di died in an accident.

Anyway, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what can the court find?

"Yes!"

Lan Tiexin knew Lan Yu's character, and finally took over the task.

"Remember, after killing Queen Yan, you must not leave any clues, and when necessary, you can set fire to the mountain!"

Lan Yu admonished.

"The child understands!"

"Let's go down."

Lan Yu waved his hand, and Lan Tiexin immediately turned around and left the tent.

.........

The night passed.

Early the next morning.

Everyone went step by step, Zheng He was responsible for squeezing Nai, and the old monk Daoyan was responsible for collecting firewood.

He Qiu took Zhu Di into the depths of the jungle to hunt.

"Sir, I want to tell you something."

Walking behind He Qiu, Zhu Di thought for a long time, and finally said, "I plan to leave here in three days." ”

Hearing this, He Qiu turned around, looked surprised, and asked, "Why do you want to leave?" ”

"I'm not going to hide it, sir, I'm really the prince, if I hadn't been lost in this jungle, I'm afraid I'd have arrived in Shuntian."

Zhu Di sighed.

Again?

He Qiu pursed his lips, he had always maintained a skeptical attitude towards whether Zhu Di was the identity of the prince.

After all, He Qiu was just trapped in the rough stone jungle, and he didn't cross it.

really want him to believe that Zhu Di is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, unless there is direct evidence.

Just when the two were silent for a while.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in my ears.

It's not loud, but in the silence of the jungle, it's really real.

"There are beasts?"

He Qiu subconsciously frowned, and pulled Zhu Di to hide behind a big tree.

The voice grew clearer.

The next second.

Countless figures appeared in the jungle.

Dressed in armor and armed with long knives, these men walked extremely slowly, looking around cautiously with every step.

"It's a Ming soldier!"

Behind the big tree, Zhu Di looked happy, these people were the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Could it be.... Did I really cross over? ”

He Qiu was horrified in his heart.

"Now you should believe it, sir."

Zhu Di had a smile on his face, and after speaking, he planned to go out and join the Ming soldiers.

"Wait!"

He Qiu hurriedly grabbed him.

Zhu Di was dragged back by He Qiu, and wondered: "Sir, why are you doing this?" ”

"Observe and observe."

He Qiu's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Do you think these people are here to save you?" How do I think they're here to kill? ”

"Why?"

Zhu Di was stunned.

"You see, if they came to save people, why did they hold their weapons in their hands?"

"Also, each of them has a cautious expression, what do you say they are afraid of?"

He Qiu said his guess.

"Maybe it's because you're afraid of wild beasts?"

Zhu Di retorted in a low voice.

"Beasts? There are at least a hundred people, all of whom are armed and will be afraid of wild beasts? Even if it's a tiger, you have to walk around. ”

He Qiu shook his head and said.

Just as the two were arguing.

A young man at the head turned his head to look at the Ming soldiers behind him.

The young man was none other than Lan Tiexin, Lan Yu's righteous son, and he scolded in a low voice: "Remember, as long as you meet someone in the jungle, no matter who it is, kill them immediately!" ”

Kill?

Zhu Di's face sank, and he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't run out rashly.

However, what made Zhu Di most curious was that.

Why do these soldiers kill people when they see them?

Are they here to kill themselves? Or do they have other plans?

However, Zhu Di knows that it is better to be cautious without figuring out the truth.

"Lord Qianhu, this jungle is too big, and it is too difficult for us to find King Yan and his men."

Some soldiers complained.

"Difficult?"

Lan Tiexin said coldly: "You are all my father-in-law's henchmen, my father-in-law said, as long as you kill King Yan, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth." ”
