The next day, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's honor guard swept out of the Jiangdong Gate, boarded the big ship parked at the wharf, and went down the river.

However, His Royal Highness the King of Chu himself was not in the ranks, and later that day, he, his eldest uncle, his second uncle, and a group of guards, disguised themselves as a caravan and went out of Jubaomen by land.

On the surface, his eldest uncle Hu Quan is the shopkeeper of the caravan, his second uncle Hu Bo is the head of the caravan's guards, Mr. Luo is naturally the bookkeeper, and the sixth is the stupid son of the landlord's family...... Well, it was the son of the owner who came out to see it for a long time.

The rest of the carefully selected guards, dressed as caravan men and bodyguards, gathered a total of about thirty people.

Because it is operating in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, a normal caravan will hire a dozen or so guards at most, so no matter how many people there are, it will be too conspicuous. The rest of the guards could only be reduced to pieces, and they followed the caravan far behind to protect it.

The group was more than ten miles away from Nanjing City, and suddenly the guards of the perimeter protection sent a signal, and Hu Quan immediately stepped back to check. After a while, he came to the sixth child with a little flower child.

"Young owner, let's see who this is?" The eldest cousin squeezed his eyebrows and said.

Zhu Zhen rode on horseback, and at a glance he saw the slender and white swan neck. "Liu Li?"

"Little uncle......" Liu Li took off the broken hat on her head, and her face was deliberately dirty, but she didn't expect to be recognized at a glance.

"Why did you run out, does my master know?" Zhu Zhen hurriedly turned over and dismounted, pulled her aside, and asked in a low voice.

"I left a book for my grandfather and told him that I also wanted to go to Nanchang, but the second uncle didn't take me with me, so I followed the little uncle."

"What do you mean by 'following'?" Lao Liu said with a black line on his face: "Are you obviously tracking well?" It's as if I kidnapped you. ”

"How can Uncle Xiao learn to chew words?" Liu Li lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes and said, "I don't have much to eat, and I don't have to ride a car or horse, so I follow you...... Just do it. ”

"No, your second uncle doesn't take you, he has his own reasons." Zhu Zhen still shook his head and said, "So I won't take you either." ”

"Cousin, send her back to ......," he said and instructed Hu Quandao.

"Send me back, I will come out again, I will go to Nanchang by myself." Liu Li said stubbornly: "I must avenge my father with my own hands!" ”

"I will bring the murderer back to the capital, and you can also take revenge with your own hands." The two grew up together since childhood, and in front of Liu Li, Zhu Zhen rarely showed the temper of a prince.

"Uncle Xiao, you can promise me......" Liu Li's big eyes were full of tears, his nose twitched, his hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, and pleaded like tears: "These days, as soon as I close my eyes, my father is miserable, and I will go crazy if I don't do something for him." ”

"Alas, you are ruthless ......" Zhu Zhen helplessly stretched out her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao, I will never trouble you." Liu Li hurriedly wiped her tears.

"I believe you're the only ghost." The sixth child rolled his eyes, sent someone back to Beijing to report to the master, and said that Liu Li was with him, don't let his old man worry.

Well, how can you not be worried?

~~

As a result, there was another cousin of the young owner in the caravan who went to join the family.

A group of people traveled along the Yangtze River for two days, came to the local Dangtu County, stayed in Dangtu for a night, and boarded a sand boat that had been waiting for a long time the next day.

In fact, from Nanjing to Nanchang, there is a whole waterway to go, but the eldest uncle and the second uncle who arranged the trip, according to their experience in the rivers and lakes, deliberately took a land route first, and then got on the boat, saying that in this way no one would find out their whereabouts.

I don't know if this experience will work......

The boat is on the Yangtze River, all the way upstream, all relying on sails and rocking oars, in fact, it is not much faster than taking the land route. Ten days later, we just arrived at the mouth of Poyang Lake, so that we could take advantage of the wind and raise the speed.

The north wind blows the sails, the sand boat chops the waves, driving on the wide blue lake, looking far away, only to see that it is connected to the lakeside, but it is an endless prairie, which makes people feel like coming to the plug in a trance.

The wind blows across the lake and the grassland, the lake is sparkling, and the grassland is swaying, and the picture is magnificent.

"It's beautiful." Liu Li, who had been hiding in the cabin, was called to the bow of the boat by Zhu Zhen, and after witnessing this wonder, he couldn't help but be intoxicated.

"yes. This is called reading 10,000 books is better than traveling 10,000 miles, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe that there is a prairie by Poyang Lake? "Lao Liuxin said, so I don't like to read, I like to run around, right.

"Then why haven't you seen anyone grazing sheep in the grassland?" Liu Li looked around.

"Because soon, when the spring flood comes, the grassland will turn into a lake again." The sixth said with a smile: "At that time, the lake will be ten times larger than now, and the sheep will be grazing?" It's good not to drown. ”

"Uncle Xiao, are you telling me that the vicissitudes of life are still in the blink of an eye, and the life and death of our ordinary people are even more irresistible?" Liu Li said thoughtfully.

"Uh......" The corners of Lao Liu's mouth twitched, I just want to show off my rich knowledge, but Liu Li can think like this, which means that she is working hard to come out, of course he has to cooperate. He nodded, and said with a deep face:

"I don't agree with the so-called filial piety of Confucianism, people are dead when they die, why should the living change their ways to toss themselves? The result of three years of self-abuse has no meaning except self-touching, and will only damage the body and add a burden to the living relatives. ”

"But, it's really sad." Liu Li lowered his head and whispered.

"You said that Senior Brother wants you to be happy every day," the sixth child, who can't comfort people, has already shown his highest level. "Do you think he would be sad to see you wash your face with tears every day?"

"......" Liu Li was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xiao, I will be strong and not make my father sad." ”

"That's right." The sixth man breathed a sigh of relief, he was already out of words, and if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that he would scold his mother.

~~

The boat traveled in Poyang Lake for one day, entered the Ganjiang River, and then walked along the Ganjiang River for two more days, and then arrived at the city of Nanchang, which is 'treasure Tianhua, outstanding people'.

Zhu Zhen stood on the boat, looking at the brand-new blue brick city wall of Nanchang City, and listened to the uncle beside him with emotion: "After the Hongdu Defense War, the entire Nanchang city wall did not survive, and there were rotting corpses of the two armies everywhere, like hell on earth. It's only been more than ten years, and there is no trace of that time at all. ”

"But the great victory of my cousin and yours has gone down in history and will be celebrated thousands of years from now." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hu Quan said softly, both of them were surviving generals in the defense of Hongdu. But because he was implicated by Zhu Wenzheng, he has been depressed.

"It's not comfort, it's true." Zhu Zhen is colorful.
