Chapter 289: Co-optation

Chapter 289 Co-opted

Boom?? Boom???

In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers were shaken open by my palm, and they lay on the ground and wailed in pain, but I did not ask for the lives of these soldiers with a cruel hand.

More soldiers rushed at me again.

"Stop it. Zhu Bai stood up and shouted.

The soldiers stopped, and the master of the Pavilion was Zhu Bai, and Zhu Bai's orders were to be obeyed.

"Bo'er. Wang Ao on the side said anxiously.

"Teacher, we are gone, we can't get out today, or don't sacrifice senselessly, I'll go with Miss Xiao to see my fourth brother. Zhu Bai said.

"Go down, all of you. Wang Ao said to the soldiers.

A large crowd of soldiers lifted the wounded soldier out of the room.

"Bai'er, I'll go with you, I prevented Yan Wangye from becoming the prince back then, if Yan Wangye holds a grudge, let him kill the old man, I won't let him kill you." Wang Ao said.

"No need, teacher, the soldiers of Liangguang still need you, I can go alone, it doesn't matter whether I live or die. Zhu Bai said.

"No, Bai'er, if you don't let the teacher accompany you, the teacher will die here. Wang Ao pulled out the saber in his hand and put it on his neck.

I can't see that this Wang Ao is still so strong, but think about it, this Wang Ao has always been Zhu Bai's teacher, and he has been cultivating this Zhu Bai decades ago, thinking that one day this Zhu Bai will ascend the throne and rule the world, but now, Zhu Bai will be taken away by his opponent and life and death are uncertain, and decades of hard work will be in vain. Wang Ao's hopes were dashed.

A person's hope is like another life.

Once hope is lost, the life is gradually dying away.

People in modern society need to be more open-minded, but in this era, this righteousness is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind, and they can abandon everything for their simple belief.

And the righteousness of the king in the world is even more stubborn.

"Teacher??? Well, I promise you. Then Zhu Bai was forced to have no choice but to agree.

"Alright, let's go. I spoke.

Zhu Bai got up and walked over to me, and Wang Ao also threw the sword in his hand on the ground and walked over.

"That's right. There's something I'd like to start with here. It's never too late to leave. I suddenly remembered that I was going to take this Zhu Bai, so I spoke.

"Oh, what else?" asked the Juber.

"Hehe, nothing. It's just that I want you to help Zhu Di. I spoke.

"You. Do you mean to make me submit to my fourth brother?" asked Zhu Bai.

"King Xiangxian is smart. That's what I mean. I said.

"Hmph, why would I submit to him, and. Why would the fourth brother believe that I would really submit to him?" asked Zhu Bai.

"Okay, I'm here to briefly help you analyze the current situation, now the emperor is critically ill and dies at any time, the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen is not more important, once the Northern Yuan Mongols are bound to go south, and now the court is headed by Huang Qi and the two, the two are embarrassed to control the country's politics, once the war with the Mongols, the Ming Dynasty may not be protected, Yan Wangye has been fighting against the Mongols in the north for so many years, the soldiers are strong and strong, if there is your helper, stabilize the Jiangnan area, once Zhu Di repelled the Mongols and then waved his army south to kill Huang Qi and the two, the Ming Dynasty is still your Zhu family, but it has been replaced by a more wise king, At that time, you will still be in charge of Jiangnan, if you don't help, then Jiangnan will be in civil strife, Huang Qi and the two are likely to take the opportunity to devour your Jiangnan army, with Jiangnan as a support, Daming Jiangshan is likely to no longer be your Zhu family, which is more important, you think about it. I said.

There was silence in the room, and everyone was thinking about what I had said.

It took about three minutes before anyone spoke.

"What Miss Xiao said makes sense, but how can we believe that Zhu Di will not harm us in the future. It was the wounded text message that spoke.

"You can rest assured, I promise that you will be a family in the future, originally King Yan was the younger brother of Lord Yan, this time Lord Yan sent me not to kill him, I really want to kill him, I am afraid that now all of you are no longer in this world, as long as you really help Lord Yan, I think Lord Yan will be very happy." I said.

"Okay, I promise. Then Zhu Bai spoke.

Hahaha, I can't help but feel ecstatic in my heart, if this Zhu Bai is willing to help Zhu Di, it will be a great joy, hehe.

"Okay, hehe, then let's go see Lord Yan. I said.

Wang Ao's face on the side was a little ugly, this Zhu Di didn't become the prince because of Wang Ao, Wang Ao should be afraid that Zhu Di would settle accounts after the autumn.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, Lord Yan is not the kind of person who cares, as long as you are willing to submit sincerely, the governor of Liangguang is still yours, maybe the bigger places in the future will be yours. I said.

"The old man knows. Wang Ao said with a light sigh.

Then Zhu Bai and Na Wang Ao followed me out of the Xiaoyao Pavilion.

The three of them sat in three sedan chairs and walked towards Gu Yuan.

It didn't take long for Gu Yuan to arrive.

I got out of the sedan chair and walked to the gate of Gu Yuan and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it was still Zhou Tong who opened the door.

"It's Miss Xiao, come in quickly, the master is here today, and I've been saying that I'm waiting for you to bring good news, look at Miss Xiao's brisk expression, is there good news for the master." Zhou Tong said with a smile.

"It's better not to know what you shouldn't know or not to know, lead the way. After I finished speaking, I took Zhu Bai and the others to follow Zhou Tong and walked towards Gu Yuan.

It didn't take long to walk to the familiar attic.

"Master, Miss Xiao is here. Zhou Tong shouted loudly.

"Ah, Miss Xiao is here. It was Zhu Di's voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Di quickly walking out of the attic, followed by the bald monk Yao Guangxiao.

"Twelfth Brother??? , Lord Wang???" Zhu Di also shouted in surprise when he saw the two people behind me.

"Fourth brother. ”

"Lord Yan. The two of them spoke.

"Oh, come in. Zhu Di said.

Then we went into the attic together.

"Zhou Tong. Prepare good tea. Zhu Di said earnestly, this attitude is simply too good, Zhu Di is really a person who can do things, let me kill Zhu Bai behind my back, now this attitude is unbearable, people who don't know really can't see it, this is the so-called set of people in front of the back, but throughout the ages, which one of those who have achieved great things is not like this, maybe this kind of nature is born to belong to the strong.

The strong are stronger than the heart and the body are stronger, and the strong are good at using people. The strong giver gives. And often the strong heart rules the strong body, Zhu Di is the strong heart, what about me? Maybe the role I play now is the strong body.

After Zhu Bai and Na Wang Ao sat down, Zhou Tong poured tea for the two of them, and then went out of the attic.

"Twelfth brother, Lord Wang. Please use tea. Zhu Di said with a smile.

"Fourth brother. You know why my teacher and I came to you. "Then Zhu Bai is not welcome. He asked straight to the point.

"Hehe, twelfth brother, it's the fourth brother's fault. But the current situation makes the fourth brother I have to make a choice, the twelfth brother is a smart person, among all the royal brothers and younger brothers, I appreciate the twelfth brother the most is you, no matter the strategy and the way of using soldiers, the fourth brother has a place to learn from you. Zhu Di had a smiling face, and his words were generous and decent.

"The fourth brother praised falsely, the king was defeated, although I and the fourth brother were born by the father, today I will not beat around the bush, since I have lost, I am willing to admit defeat, and the younger brother will serve the fourth brother in the future, and I hope that the fourth brother will not be embarrassed by me and the teacher. Zhu Bai said.

"Congratulations to Prince Yan, you have got the right-hand man of King Xiangxian, congratulations to the prince. Yao Guangxiao on the side hurriedly said, this old fritter is really good at talking, and he deserves to be a famous monk in history.

"Twelfth brother, are you serious?" Zhu Di also asked very happily.

"Brother Chen, I want to thank the fourth brother for your grace not to kill, by the way, my teacher was disrespectful to the fourth brother before, and I hope that the fourth brother Haihan. Zhu Bai said.

"Hahaha, I'm just waiting for the twelfth brother you, today I have the help of the twelfth brother, the Mongolians, and those villains around my father and king, why are you afraid? By the way, Lord Wang is also his own master, I have long forgotten the past, now Lord Wang is the governor of Liangguang, and I still hope that Lord Wang will take care of the soldiers and horses of Liangguang, as long as I Zhu Di do something in the future, the twelfth brother and Lord Wang, you have made a lot of contributions, Zhou Tong came in. Zhu Di shouted loudly.

"What do you command?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Prepare wine and food, I want to get drunk with my twelve brothers. Zhu Di said happily.

Zhu Di also seemed very happy at the subsequent banquet, and then he looked drunk, and after Zhu Bai and Wang Ao left, Zhou Tong found me and said that Zhu Di wanted to see me.

Isn't this guy drunk? and wants to see me??? Isn't it ?????

Alas??

Where did you want to go????

Zhou Tong took me into Zhu Di's living room, and Zhu Di was sitting very soberly in the house sipping tea.

"Aren't you drunk?" I asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, of course, some are drunk, some are not drunk, it depends on who it is, I have to be drunk with the twelfth brother, but I can't be drunk with Miss Xiao, hehe, please sit down, come and drink tea." Zhu Di smiled and put a cup of tea next to me.

I picked up my teacup and took a sip.

A fresh scent first filled my entire nasal passage, then filled my entire mouth, then slid down my throat and into my stomach???

"What kind of tea is this?" I asked, then took a few sips from my cup.

"Oh, Miss Xiao has a mouth today, this is Yandang Dragon Tea, produced in Yandang Mountain, Yueqing, Zhejiang, there is a tea tree on the mountainside of the main peak of Baigangjian, according to legend, it was planted when Lu Dongbin cultivated in this mountain, and it has been more than 600 years now, this Yandang Dragon Tea is picked in this tea tree, this tea tree can pick no more than five catties of tea in a year, and the time to pick tea can only be in the sun has not risen every day, and the tea leaves are still stained with dew drops when the best, the tea leaves stained with dew drops are slowly dried with a constant temperature of small heat, and then after almost 20 processes, there is finally this Dragon Wash Tea, the taste is fragrant and pure, and the aftertaste is endless。 Here, Miss Xiao, have another drink. Zhu Di said as he poured me full of tea.

I picked up my cup and continued to drink, it was indeed a good tea.

"Lord Yan, you didn't just call me here to let me drink tea. I put down my teacup and said.

"Hehe, of course not, but this tea is indeed prepared for you. Zhu Di said.

"Oh, thank you so much. I said with a smile.

"It should be me who says thank you, I asked you to kill Zhu Bai, I didn't expect you to convince him to surrender to me, hahaha, do you know what a big thing you did today?" Zhu Di's chubby face was flushed, I don't know if it was because he drank too much wine or because he was happy.

"yes, I don't want to kill him, so I just said it casually. I said. (To be continued......)
