Daming Wuhou

After the incident with the crown princess, Lu Changting and Zhu Di were delayed until the end of October before they packed their bags and planned to leave for Yingtian.

King Yan's team quickly left the gate of Yingtian Mansion.

After their figures disappeared, another small caravan composed of dusty carriages slowly walked out of the city gate.Afterwards, he also followed a rather expensive-looking carriage.There are many nobles in the capital, so this carriage did not attract anyone's attention.

Of course, no one would know that it was their two highnesses, the crown prince and the crown grandson, who were sitting on that carriage.

And it was only after the small caravan and his party had completely left that the Crown Prince rode back to the palace.

Soon, the gate of the city was quiet.

It didn't take long for this tranquility to be broken. Two men on horseback, dressed in flying fish suits, stopped at the gate of the city.The people couldn't help but cast fearful glances at them, and then hurried away from them.

Zhang Xingyu glanced into the distance with regret.

It failed to catch up.

The people behind him asked in a low voice, "Qianhu? Shall we go on?"

Zhang Xingyu shook his head: "No, let's go back."

The man's eyes widened for no reason, so what are we doing here?The words passed through his throat, but he still didn't dare to ask.

After returning to Jinyi Guard, no one knew what Zhang Xingyu was doing.

----

Lu Changting and Zhu Di's group pretended to be a small caravan. The reason why they were separated from the big team was because Lu Changting wanted to travel lightly so that he could return to Peiping faster.And Zhu Di also had this intention, so they pretended to be a small caravan, taking shortcuts along the way.

At this time, under Hong Wu's rule, it was still extremely peaceful. Even if they encountered a few small thieves, they were definitely no match for the blood-drinking men around Zhu Di.

But they didn't meet anyone along the way...

In less than ten days, they are already approaching the boundary of Pingyan Mansion, which is really much faster than when they went there.

Cheng Er reminded in a low voice outside the carriage: "After half a day's journey, we will arrive at the town ahead."

At this time, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and often when the sky is gloomy, Lu Changting takes a look outside. It is gray and the black clouds are low. It is when the weather is bad, and even the unreasonable will know that it is going to rain. It's a sign.

"Go forward quickly and get to the town before the rain falls." Zhu Di whispered.

Cheng Er responded in a low voice, and then conveyed the order.

This journey couldn't have been smoother, but when they were in a hurry, they were blocked and the whole team had to stop.At this time, Lu Changting also heard a burst of scolding and laughter wrapped in front of him, and there was also a little less obvious sound of weapons clashing.If it weren't for Lu Changting's keen ears, he might have overlooked this point.

"What happened up front?" Zhu Di frowned.

A sound of hoofbeats gradually approached, presumably the person who was sent to investigate first came back.

It didn't take long before Cheng Er's voice sounded from outside the car curtain: "I met a few thieves, and I just robbed someone who went through the door. My lord, we..." To go or not to go?This is a problem.

In order to speed up the pace of returning to Peiping, they didn't bring many people with them. Fortunately, the dozen or so were all elites, and they could all be called brave men with one as ten.But now they want to protect the lord, whether to take the lead, whether to take down those thieves, it will inevitably become a difficult decision.

Just when Cheng Er was slightly hesitating, Zhu Di had already lifted the curtain of the car, and said in a deep voice, "Where did Daming come from? If they are really bandits, they should be killed immediately!"

Cheng Er's expression relaxed, and his heart was really like King Yan's way of doing things!

Zhu Di grew up from fighting, and has an extremely resolute and strong temper. Of course, he would not pay attention to a few thieves and bandits.After saying that to Cheng Er, he immediately drew his sword.Lu Changting glanced at it, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly. This is exactly the sword he "customized" for Zhu Di.

With a calm expression on his face, Lu Changting also drew out a sword, but his sword seemed much more ordinary.He already has the ability to protect himself, so of course he won't be worried or flustered at this time.

At this time, outside the carriage, everyone had already drawn out their weapons because they had received the order from the King of Yan, and they surrounded the front as soon as the order was given.

Before Zhu Di could speak, a sharp voice suddenly pointed at them and said, "Here...there is a caravan here! Snatch them!"

Lu Changting: ...

They haven't rushed up yet, which is good, those thieves first regarded them as fat sheep, and sharpened their knives to start slaughtering them.

Zhu Di's face turned cold, "It's really a group of thieves!"

The person who found them was thin and thin, his face was smeared with plaster to blur his facial features, and he was holding a big knife in his hand. The knife was stained with human blood, making his wretched figure suddenly look hideous and terrifying.

"Come on, come on, come on and catch them!" The man greeted his accomplices with extra eagerness.

The other thieves immediately surrounded him as if they smelled the smell of meat.

It was only then that Lu Changting took all these bandits into his eyes.

They were all dressed in gray clothes, with black scarves tied on their heads, and big knives in their hands. As for their appearance, they were tall or short, thin or fat. With deep greed.

Seeing their outfits, Lu Changting almost laughed out loud.

Hey, it's still an organized team!

However, Lu Changting has been following Zhu Di for such a long time, and he can vaguely judge whether the person standing in front of him has any force, how is his foot and upper hand, how is his kung fu strength, and whether he has received formal training...Obviously, the group in front of him People just have a superficial appearance, their bases are vain, and they only have strength and courage in their arms.

In front of Yan Wang's personal soldiers, it is really not enough to see.

"Take it." Zhu Di said two words in a cold voice.

The soldiers moved when they heard the sound, and surrounded the thieves.

The man who was still shouting vigorously just now pointed in their direction and shouted loudly: "He, they rushed up..." The bandits behind him were also slightly flustered: "How the hell are these people better than us?" Still like a thief? Damn it!"

The little bandit yelled again at the top of his voice: "Let's charge too!" After saying that, he rushed towards the soldiers of King Yan's Mansion first.

Even if Lu Changting didn't need to look, he knew what would happen to this person, so he turned his face away immediately, and stopped looking at this person's tragic death.

It's just that the sound of the sword piercing into the flesh did not come as expected, Lu Changting looked over again, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

It turned out that the bandit shouted fiercely, but he was a real coward. When he arrived in front of the soldiers of Prince Yan's mansion, he was frightened by his power, and immediately rolled down on the ground when his legs softened. Surrender, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Zhu Di thought that he had to leave someone for interrogation, so he nodded at the soldier.

The guard kicked the man away, and soon someone came forward and dragged him down and tied him up.

The bandit's eyes widened in anger, and he didn't know what to curse in the local dialect.At this time, the personal soldiers were already approaching, and the thieves and bandits rushed forward with their swords in their hands.But how can their arrogance compare with those who really fought from the battlefield?What's more, the soldiers of King Yan's Mansion have always undergone extremely rigorous training, otherwise it would not be their turn to follow Zhu Di.

But after a face-to-face meeting, the head of a bandit fell to the ground.

Blood splashed out, and the head was rolling to the feet of another bandit. He looked down, the head was still open, and it looked like it was dying.The bandit screamed in fright and took several steps back.With a fear, it will inevitably cause a chain effect.

King Yan's soldiers all had faces as cold as iron, and they struck fiercely, shocking the group of bandits with great speed.

Finally, they couldn't help but turned around and wanted to escape.

However, how could the soldiers give them a chance to escape?Immediately rushed forward, when they were frightened, they chopped off things one by one like cutting vegetables.

A "bloody battle" came to an end in a short while, except for the bandit who was tied up first, two other people were left alive, all for the convenience of questioning.

When the soldiers came to return, Zhu Di said in a low voice: "Go ahead and see what's going on? If there are any remaining thieves and bandits, kill them together."

The soldiers responded and rushed forward quickly.

At this moment, the bandit who was spared his life just raised his head naively, with an expression that hadn't recovered from the shock and fear.They stared at Zhu Di's stern face for a while, then hurriedly lowered their heads in fear, and it took a long time before they seemed to come back to their senses, and stammered: "King, lord?" Isn't that the emperor's son?

Although they are illiterate and have no moral bottom line, they are born with a fear of the emperor.

The two of them trembled, and they were so frightened that they peed out.

"My lord! My lord!" Suddenly a voice called out.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the soldiers reprimanded: "Shut up!"

Lu Changting looked in that direction, and found that the one who was shouting was the bandit who was the first to get down and rolled on the spot.

He was the one who spoke first to rob them.He was also the one who rushed up with the thieves first.

This bandit is strange.
