He sighed inwardly, and was about to let go, when suddenly a broken branch slipped past his eyes.

"This is……!"

He heard the black bear following closely behind let out a miserable howl, and then there was no more movement.

On the mountain road, Zhu Xiongying walked up slowly and looked at Zhu Di.

Although he was wearing a bamboo hat, how could Zhu Di not recognize him?

But Zhu Xiongying shook his head at Zhu Di, not intending to recognize each other.

Since you are in Jianghu, why stick to past relationships?There are outsiders here, and it will be troublesome to explain when the time comes.

A tacit understanding was reached between the two.

Zhu Di said, "Thank you for saving my life, little friend."

"You are frightened, go to the side of the road and take a rest first." Zhu Xiongying said, and sat down on the side of the road.

Zhu Di followed and sat on Zhu Xiongying's right hand.

At this time, Zhu Di's emotions were very complicated.

Because he never thought that his life would be saved by Zhu Xiongying.

And, still such an understatement.

Just judging from Zhu Xiongying's strike just now, his martial arts has reached the peak, picking leaves and flying flowers can hurt people.

What kind of adventure does this eldest grandson of the emperor who has been missing for nine years have?

Zhu Di was very curious, but he knew very well in his heart that he didn't need to know why.

"You saved me today, and I will repay you in the future." He secretly made up his mind.

But at this time, Zhu Xiongying suddenly received a prompt from the system.

[It is detected that someone is loyal to the host, and the system accepts it as a subordinate by default. 】

[Currently Zhu Di's loyalty is: 100]

"It seems that Uncle Yan Wang is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. This trip is really a surprise."

after awhile.

The rescued man finally recovered.

He came to Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Di, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for saving your life! May I ask the names of the two benefactors?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "My name is Zhu Xiongying."

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying used a pseudonym, Zhu Di followed suit and said, "My name is Yansi."

The man who was rescued said: "Zhang Xianzong in Ganzhou Prefecture is a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. The kindness of saving your life is as great as Mount Tai. After I pass the exam, I will definitely repay you two."

When Zhang Xianzong said this, he was quite confident, as if he was quite confident in rushing for the exam this time.

But from Zhu Xiongying's point of view, this person only possesses purple luck, and he can only be said to be above-average talent, not in his own eyes.

So he nodded slightly, objected to Zhu Di and said, "Senior Yan..."

When Zhu Di heard Zhu Xiongying call himself a senior, the corner of his mouth twitched. "I wish you have something to say, please tell me."

"Why did you come here?"

Zhu Di sighed, but he couldn't hide his thoughts from Zhu Xiongying.

"There is a villain who always wants to harm me. I really can't stay at home, so I come out to relax."

"Little man?"

"Oh...it's really hard to tell."

It's not a glorious thing to fight between brothers, but Zhu Di couldn't tell Zhu Xiongying's name when facing Zhu Xiongying.

"Okay then, since that's the case, I'll take a step first." Zhu Xiongying got up and said.

Zhu Di also hurriedly got up and said, "If there is any need, please benefactor come to me anytime!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly, waved his hand and left the place.

In this way, Zhu Di can be subdued, and this trip is really worthwhile.

Zhang Xianzong was left aside, and asked in a daze:

"Engong, can you leave an address before leaving, so that I can find you?"

Zhu Di smiled at him and said:

"Don't worry about it, it's fate...see you later."

Chapter 266 Two Kings Conflict Part [-]

Seeing that Zhu Di didn't intend to leave an address, Zhang Xianzong said:

"Oh, that's alright...By the way, benefactor, since we are destined, how about we go together?"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Alright, I'm planning to go back to the capital too."

However, along the way, the friendship between the two gradually became acquainted.

As he got to know more about Zhang Xianzong, Zhu Di discovered that he was indeed talented.

Even Zhu Di felt that with Zhang Xianzong's literary talent, it was not impossible for him to win the first prize.

If this person can be used by Zhu Xiongying, then there will be no suspense in the subsequent essay test.

Therefore, Zhu Di also tried his best to build a good relationship with Zhang Xianzong.

"Brother Zhang, although the capital is prosperous, the expenses are also very high. Do you have enough money?"

Zhang Xianzong said: "I have already used up all the money on my body, but it doesn't matter. With my ability, I can get money soon when I arrive in the capital."

Zhu Di secretly smiled in his heart, this is also a quick-talking person.

"Actually, my family is quite wealthy. I can support Brother Zhang now, so that Brother Zhang won't have to worry about raising money in the future, so I can prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

When Zhang Xianzong heard that there was such a good thing, he was naturally very happy.

"Unexpectedly, benefactor not only saved my life, but also was so generous. You are really my great benefactor!"

Zhu Di, as a feudal lord, has had people who dare to talk to him like this for many years.

This time, it was precisely because he did not reveal his identity that Zhang Xian was able to treat each other so loyally and honestly.

Zhu Di felt quite novel, and also recognized Zhang Xianzong as a friend.

He said: "Brother Zhang, you must remember what you said today, and don't go back on your word in the future."

"Don't worry, a gentleman's words are hard to follow!"

……

While talking, the two entered the capital.

Inside the residence of King Jin.

Gao Yang, Zhu Di's guard, is reporting Zhu Di's whereabouts in front of Jin Wang Zhu Yan.

"You said that Zhu Di didn't bring anyone with him, and left the capital alone?"

"Yes." Gao Yang replied affirmatively.

"Do you know what he means?"

"The villain really doesn't know."

"Hehe..." Zhu Bing lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and immediately guessed the reason, and said, "If you knew about this, you wouldn't be here anymore."

These words were very contemptuous, but Gao Yang could only sigh, "Yes."

At this moment, a guard came over and said, "His Royal Highness, please report that Zhu Di has returned to the capital."

"Is he alone?" Zhu Yan asked.

"It is said that there is another person beside him. Judging from his appearance, he should be a student who came to Beijing to rush for the exam."

"Haha, it's exactly as I expected!" Zhu Yan stood up excitedly. "You finally showed your feet, fourth child!"

Whether it was the guard who came in or Gao Yang who was the internal response, they all cast puzzled looks at him at this moment.

Zhu Yan was quite proud, so he said what he thought.

"My fourth younger brother always said that he has no thought about being the crown prince."

"So in order to justify himself, he can't win over students under my nose..."

"But he couldn't help wooing the students, so he ran outside the city to intercept the passing students."

"Although he can avoid my eyeliner by doing this, what he never imagined is that now there are my people everywhere in the capital, and he will never be able to hide..."

"Now he has shown his feet, and I will tell him that he should never even think about the position of the crown prince!"

"Okay, Gao Yang, step back first, and remember to keep an eye on Zhu Di!"

"Yes! I bid to resign." Gao Yang retreated slowly.

Zhu Yan turned to another guard and said:

"Notify all points, and help me find out who the person next to Zhu Di is...I want to meet the person that the fourth child has taken a fancy to."

"Yes, sign your resignation!"

……

Let's say that Zhu Di and Zhang Xianzong had entered the inn at this time and stayed at the same time.

Zhu Di thought to himself that since he had already won over Zhang Xianzong, it would be somewhat abrupt to reveal his true identity all of a sudden, so it would be better to wait for the right time...

After washing his face in the room, he went to find Zhang Xianzong.

However, to his surprise, Zhang Xianzong had already left the room.

So Zhu Di searched around the inn, but found no figure of Zhang Xianzong.

It was only after asking the waiter in the shop that Zhang Xianzong and some soldiers left.

"A soldier took Zhang Xianzong away? What's going on..." Zhu Di didn't know why, so he had to wait in the inn.

in fact.

Zhang Xianzong was picked up by Zhu Yan's people.

In order to please Zhang Xianzong, Zhu Yan also asked his subordinates to flatter him.

Sure enough, Zhang Xianzong also said that he was already famous for his knowledge, and he was a little bit smug.

At night, Zhang Xianzong was taken into an inn, and the best meals were displayed one by one.

At the same time, the Lord came quietly.

Zhang Xianzong sat behind a table full of delicacies, and looked at Zhu Yan blankly.

For some reason, he felt that Zhu Yan was a bit like his four Yan brothers.

Suddenly, Zhang Xianzong felt like old friends at first sight.

"Dare to ask, is it...?"

Corporal Zhu Lixian said:

"Sir, I am the third son of today's son, King Zhu of Jin. I heard that Mr. is going to the capital to take the exam, so I come here to pay my respects."

Zhang Xianzong was startled when he heard the words, and said: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness Prince Jin, please forgive me for offending you."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the master has real talents and learning, you can do whatever you like."

Zhang Xianzong was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, the third son of today's son is so generous and values ​​students. It seems that this is also the attitude of today's son towards students...

I wondered how a person like myself would have a bright future if the imperial examination hadn't been resumed today.

It seems that the enlightened and prosperous age is coming soon!

So Zhang Xianzong asked: "May I ask your Highness, what kind of talent and learning do you need?"
