[Comprehensive martial arts] Wuji his brother

Zhang Wuzhang and Linghu Chong went down the mountain, and when they got to the foot of the mountain, they saw Yue Buqun hurried up the mountain.The three of them walked to meet each other, Yue Buqun glanced at their intertwined hands, ignored them at all, and left.

Linghu Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Is it really going to Dadu?"

"Don't worry, go back to Jiulong Lake first, Han Liner captured Wang Baobao alive yesterday." Zhang Wuzhang said.He had an unusual obsession with Wang Baobao, and he trembled at the last moment, no matter what, he had to try again.

Linghu Chong immediately complied, and joined Zhang Wuji in Zhengqi Hall, and the three of them hurried to Jiulong Lake.Arriving at the headquarters of the Red Scarf Sect, Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang and others who had heard the news were all waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. Got the message.

Zhang Wuzhang jumped off the horse, Han Lin'er quickly stepped forward to hold the horse, and said in a low voice: "Master, Kuo Kuo Timur has been on a hunger strike for three days."

Zhang Wuzhang was not surprised, he just ordered: "Lead them to drink tea first, and I will meet him."

Han Lin'er quickly agreed, and went to greet Linghu Chong and the other two.Xu Da and the others stood aside, Zhang Wuzhang nodded along with them one by one, and then asked about the battle situation in the past few days.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Thanks to the great blessing of the leader, our brothers have won a big victory." He said in a low voice, "There is a folk song that has been widely praised, and the common people say, 'The king of Ming is born, and he can save all living beings'. It is also said that Zhengyi taught Zhang Tianshi It was predicted that these eight characters refer to the Red Scarf Hero."

Zhang Wuzhang laughed immediately, it was not Zhang Tianshi who made the prophecy, but Zhang Tianshi's younger brother Taicheng Zhenren.What's more, there are only two parties involved who know about this matter. He admits that he has never let go of such rumors, and the rumors must have come from Master Taicheng.

Zheng Yijiao played this hand very straightforwardly. Their ancestor was named the first generation of heavenly masters since Kublai Khan.Pretending to be gods and ghosts has always been the specialty of the Zhengyi Sect, not to mention the disaster relief in the Yellow River, it can be seen that this group of bull-nosed people are still a bit upright, since Zhang Wuzhang has won the allegiance of Daoist Taicheng, let him do as he pleases, or create momentum among the people.

He responded casually, and seeing his expression, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he didn't take it seriously, so he stepped aside.Zhang Wuzhang talked to the generals a few more times before he went inside to look for Wang Baobao.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed worry on his face and shook his head slightly.Although he didn't say a word, but no one present was blind, Xu Da still noticed, found an excuse and followed him to the camp, the two of them stayed alone, and asked, "Brother Zhu, what's wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. The leader trusts Zhengyi to teach these tartar lackeys, and he is afraid that it will cause disaster."

Xu Da smiled, but said nothing.He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Wuzhang, because it was Han Liner who captured Wang Baobao alive, so the "Wu Mu Suicide Note" should have fallen into his hands if nothing unexpected happened.

The leader's trust in Han Lin'er is obvious to all, so even though Han Lin'er himself is a military leader, there are always people whispering in private, guessing whether there is something shady behind it.

Xu Da didn't care about it at all, he was ambitious about this military book, but he was not overly superstitious, "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" was famous and had an extraordinary history, but even Yue Fei, who wrote the military book, ended up miserable, which shows that the current situation is more important than personal ability more important.

Now that the Red Turban Sect is gaining momentum, the leader treats them even more favorably, not only for saving their lives, but also for being promoted, Xu Da feels that Zhu Yuanzhang is not satisfied enough.Don't say that Han Liner's own strength is excellent, no one can see whether the leader is biased, even if Zhang Wuzhang is really biased, so what?This "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" originally belonged to someone else, shouldn't he have the final say if it is given to whom or not?

With Xu Da's reaction like this, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that what he said today was really reckless, they had a fateful friendship, but Xu Da's loyalty to Zhang Wuzhang was more than his brotherly affection.

He calmly went back to make amends: "That's right, the Zhengyi Sect has never bullied the people, and these old-fashioned old Taoists have a good reputation among the people. If they are used properly, they can be of great help, just like the prophecy of King Ming's birth today. "

Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhang Wuzhang that Zhang Tianshi's claim that these eight characters refer to the Red Scarf Heroes is actually not accurate, and folk rumors that these eight characters are related to the Red Scarf Sect.

The hero of the Red Scarf is Zhang Wuzhang, but the Red Scarf Sect... isn't the leader alone?Zhu Yuanzhang was far more politically sensitive than Xu Da and others. If it wasn't for their brothers leading troops to fight and having a high prestige in the army, why would Zhang Wuzhang bother to push out Han Lin'er to decentralize power?

It's just a small test today, Xu Da might not be expected, but he is the best at fighting in this group, not to mention Deng Yu, Tang He and others treat Zhang Wuzhang with great respect.Zhu Yuanzhang sighed secretly in his heart.He felt that there was little hope, and he couldn't suppress those petty thoughts.

The other Zhang Wuzhang saw Wang Baobao in the dark dungeon, shook his head and said, "Why are you bothering, sir?"

Wang Baobao went on a hunger strike for many days, and lost a lot of weight. Seeing that his energy was not broken, he didn't look at him, and said calmly: "Master Zhang, don't waste your words. Even if you imprison me for ten or twenty years, my decision will not change." will change, and the defeated general also has the final dignity."

Zhang Wuzhang sat down opposite him, and said softly: "If your son really has the heart to serve the country with death, how can my subordinates capture you alive?"

"I'm dead, and I've lost a general. If I'm just trying to survive, maybe you won't be willing to kill me. If I can escape one day, I can expect to serve the country in the future." Wang Baobao said.

He gave Zhang Wuzhang the right to make the decision. He would not commit suicide, but it didn't matter if Zhang Wuzhang wanted to kill him.If he can survive, he can also be regarded as keeping the fire for Yuan Ting.Needless to say, even Wang Baobao understood that the imperial court was about to fall.

"I came here to thank you. After I finished speaking, I will fulfill your integrity." Zhang Wuzhang said, "My subordinates captured you alive on the front foot, and the messengers of King Pingnan and King Taiping ushered in on the back foot. Both of them had the attitude of competing for the deer, but in the end they ended in haste, all thanks to the help of the eldest son."

Wang Baobao said: "I followed the order of the imperial court. I am a traitor against the Yuan Dynasty. Who is not to be beaten? Afterwards, it turns out that my thinking was too simple."

The imperial court suspected that he was in collusion with Zhang Wuzhang, so naturally they sent him to knock down the other two houses, and in order to prove his innocence, he knocked with extra vigor, thinking about it now, he can only smile wryly.

He asked: "I just want to know, Master Zhang was playing this game of chess a few years ago, why did you put your bet on me?"

This is also what Wang Baobao can't understand. If he is mediocre or even dies in battle, all these plans will be in vain. Only when his performance is completely in line with Zhang Wuji's expectations can he achieve leverage. Effect.

Zhang Wuzhang said: "Oh, I was born to know, 500 years before and 500 years after."

Wang Baobao also raised this kind of conjecture when he was questioned by his deputy general Hu He, but Zhang Wuzhang really said that, but he didn't believe it at all, and just shook his head when he heard it.

"Not only do I know that the son is a genius," Zhang Wuzhang said with a smile, "I also know that one or two of my subordinates are dishonest."

Wang Baobao lowered his eyes and scratched his ears uninterestedly. This was not what he cared about at all.

Zhang Wuzhang said: "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I will send you on your way."

Wang Baobao hesitated for a while: "I vaguely heard that Minmin fell into your hands? Is she, is she okay now?"

"She's still alive." Zhang Wuzhang said, "It's still useful for me to keep her."

Wang Baobao sighed, he was not worried about Zhao Min's life or death, but worried about what she would do to Yuan Ting in order to save her father and brother.Thinking about it this way, it would be good for him to die in Zhang Wuzhang's hands, at least Zhao Min would never be able to negotiate terms with Zhang Wuzhang again.

He closed his eyes and waited to die. Zhang Wuzhang still wanted Wang Baobao to choose a way to die, but someone jumped off the beam and pierced Wang Baobao's heart with a sword.

Zhang Wuzhang sighed: "When the time comes, we must give him a dignified death." He treated Wang Baobao kindly, not because of his military talent, but because he admired this man's perseverance in the end, and said, "Taiping You are the messenger sent by the king?"

@太平王, please return the goods, this person picks up the beams and listens to the corner of the wall as soon as he comes, and interrupts his chatter.

Gong Jiu wiped the blood from the sword point on Wang Baobao's robe, and said with a sneer, "The condition he put forward was to become a king with a different surname. I told him that it would be too long to be a king with a different surname under your command."

"..." It's not good for you to just show your hole cards like this, right?Zhang Wuzhang smiled, Gong Jiu was so kind to help him choke his own father, he also said the truth, "Don't talk about me, how many kings with different surnames in history have a good end?"

If King Taiping really dared to raise this condition, he would definitely be angry and overjoyed, and he would make things difficult for a while before accepting it, and when he turned his head and settled down, he would attack them the next year.

Gong Jiu spread his hands and said, "Look, I'm right." The old man was still aggressive with him, not knowing good from bad.

Zhang Wuzhang would not comment on matters between father and son. Even if Gong Jiu suspected that his biological mother was killed by King Taiping, he might not be happy to see others speak ill of his own father.

He just said: "Then what does King Taiping want?"

Gong Jiudao: "The military power can't be kept, at least there must be a splendor of glory and wealth, and you have to beat me for a day..." He bowed his head and counted for a long time, "Three meals?"

You have to add conditions privately, at least put forward a reliable one.Zhang Wuzhang hehe: "Everyone contributes to Fan Yuan, needless to say, I will definitely not treat the prince badly."

King Taiping also knows current affairs. This is an old man. Even if Gong Jiu did not tear him down, he would probably know that the king with a different surname is a scam. Who would have thought that Gong Jiu would not turn towards him at all.

Gong Jiu nodded: "I also said that, you are such a famous person, as long as he bows his head quickly and obediently obeys after the founding of the country, at least a high-ranking vacant position will not be able to escape. Anyway, he is just like me Son, since I am not an official, when he dies, all the property and real estate will return to you? So when he is alive, it doesn’t matter how much he treats you favorably.”

Zhang Wuzhang really thought so, let him say it one by one, and he was choked up, and said with a smile: "It would be great if King Pingnan was so easy to settle."

The corners of Gong Jiu's mouth drooped, and he said indifferently: "Prince Pingnan's son also came in person, Ye Gucheng did not follow, there are rumors that Ye Gucheng had a suspicion with Pingnan Wang and his son."

King Pingnan made his fortune by relying on Ye Gucheng’s inheritance from the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that Ye Gucheng was such a master under his name, and even his sons learned martial arts from Ye Gucheng——Pingnan King’s scheming is not the same as that of Taiping King And Yu, as long as he knows that he can't break up with Ye Gucheng, he will find a way to win him over again.

Zhang Wuzhang said: "It's okay." Thinking that Gong Jiu was always well-informed, he said, "What's the matter with everyone?"

"As soon as Wang Baobao was captured, the Seventh Prince took the emperor's order and surrounded Ruyang Palace, and put King Ruyang in prison." Gong Jiu said, "The emperor will personally go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate King Ruyang in seven days. You want to assassinate him. You can do it that day."

Zhang Wuzhang: "..." Dude, why do you know everything?If this skill is inherited, then the real name that King Taiping has been unable to detect is actually "Feng Qingyang", right?

He sighed: "Is the news reliable?" Fortunately, this man is ill, otherwise he would never be able to stay.

Gong Jiu said: "Reliable."

Zhang Wuzhang shook his head: "Is this necessary?"

"Prince Ruyang and his son have high prestige in the army, not to mention that Wang Baobao also played at the highest level in the last few battles, killing many of you, and most of them questioned the judgment of the seventh prince. There are not a few people. Only the emperor interrogates himself. Convince the public." After Gong Jiu finished speaking, she froze for a moment, lowered her head and snapped her fingers, and murmured, "Then the prince is ranked seventh, right?"

Zhang Wuzhang said with a smile: "Wang Baobao was arrested three days ago, and it will be delayed for another seven days. Is it necessary for them to imprison King Ruyang for ten days for interrogation? What's more, the emperor has released the news early. Are you afraid that someone will wait for the opportunity?"

Apart from Linghu Chong and Zhang Wuji, the only one who knew that he wanted to assassinate the emperor was Jin Jiuling.It stands to reason that Jin Jiuling would not betray him, but since Gong Jiu knew about it, it meant that the news had leaked after all, and it didn't matter how it leaked, the important thing was that he couldn't take any risks.

Gong Jiu didn't even count, but everything else was revealed: "Do you suspect that he is setting up a trick to lure people into the urn?"

Zhang Wuzhang said: "Anyway, it's a good thing. At least I have enough time to go to Dadu after seeing Prince Pingnan's son." If the emperor really intends to personally interrogate King Ruyang, at least within seven days There will be no movement.

Gong Jiudao: "Don't worry about this, King Pingnan's conditions are not harsher than my old man's." Eyes swept Zhang Wuzhang's whip around and around, and asked, "I'm going to help you today. Are you busy?"

Apart from Zhang Wuzhang being a little dissatisfied and surprised that this person killed Wang Baobao first, he really thinks Gong Jiu is much cuter today.It's not that Zhang Wuzhang never thought of using the white python whip to hang Gong Jiu as the head of intelligence, but unfortunately this person has too many uncertainties, he would rather make a short-term deal.

——————————————————————————————————————

Prince Pingnan's son was dressed in white, without the aloofness of the former Guangming Peak, he spoke and behaved very politely.Just as Gong Jiu expected, King Pingnan's conditions were not harsh, but he only hoped that Zhang Wuzhang would give his son freedom and let him be a pure Jianghu man, fighting the world with his sword.

Prince Pingnan is not a chivalrous man from head to toe, let alone a businessman who sells things at a loss must have other plans, but Zhang Wuzhang kept his face and politely sent him away.

Linghu Chong turned around and said, "Where's Young Master Jiu?" He also met Gong Jiu once on the first day he came to Jiulong Lake.

Run away when you're done.Zhang Wuzhang smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, let's go, let's go to Dadu."

"Finally ready to leave? I'll call someone." Linghu Chong smiled and led Zhang Wuji out after a while.

Zhang Wuji is still a little awkward up to now, not because of the children—but it would be better if someone could tell him how many children his brother promised him—he lowered his head and said, "Shall I go with you?"

"What's the matter? I ran back to Jiulong Lake on the road for three days, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Zhang Wuzhang said indifferently.

Zhang Wuji scratched his head and said, "I haven't figured out how to tell my parents yet."

Zhang Wuzhang asked vigilantly, "Then am I still the closest person to you?"

Zhang Wuji thought for a long time, and said sincerely: "When I said this, I really didn't have a brain."

You don't have a brain now, don't you go back and cheat?Zhang Wuzhang really thought this younger brother was cute, so he rubbed his face for a while, lovingly said: "Did you lose weight these days?" Rubbing didn't feel as good as before.

Zhang Wuji was overjoyed, he reciprocated, bent his head with great effort, and buried it between Zhang Wuzhang's neck, pretending to be surprised: "Hey, brother, have you grown taller?"

Linghu Chong coughed and said, "Let's go?" Is it over?

There were still five days before Emperor Zhizheng released the news, so they had plenty of time. They first rushed to the vicinity of Dadu, then disguised themselves as farmers, changed into a mule cart, and sneaked into the city.

At this time, most of them are far from being heavily guarded, and they can come and go freely during the day, but they heard people talking about the Ruyang Palace along the way.Zhang Wuzhang drove the mule cart to the gate of the palace, saw that even the gate had been demolished, and the guards on both sides let him drive past, he could only sigh.

The Ministry of Punishment was in the east of the city, but they chose to stay in an unremarkable small inn in the west of the city. After everything was settled, Linghu Chong asked, "What arrangement?"

"Stay in peace, and see how Emperor Zhizheng will deal with King Ruyang." Zhang Wuzhang said, "If he releases King Ruyang, we still have to wait, if he beheads King Ruyang, this is the opportunity to act. .”

As soon as King Ruyang died, the emperor was assassinated. Although the emperor had already heard that there might be anti-Yuan assassins, he didn't say anything, but designed to lure the emperor into the urn.After his death, officials loyal to the emperor should be suspicious of the Seventh Prince.

Zhang Wuzhang tasted the sweetness of using strength to fight, and he used it smoothly this time.

On the contrary, Zhang Wuji came back from a stroll around, and said pleasantly, "Brother, the day after tomorrow is the Great Tour of the Imperial City for Tartars! Both men and women will parade in the streets, and there will be countless lantern exhibitions, and we have seen most of them when we came last time!"

Zhang Wuzhang glanced at him, blinked his eyes: "Oh?" He turned his head and turned the window and left.

Now Zhang Wuji felt hairy all over when he blinked his eyes, and said quickly: "What?"

"I don't know who I'm plotting against again." Linghu Chong said in relief, "It's not after you."

Zhang Wuzhang didn't come back until midnight of the second day, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said triumphantly: "Tomorrow's tour of the imperial city, let's wait and see the good show."

Zhang Wuji had already gone to bed at this time, but Linghu Chong was still in good spirits after drinking some wine, and said with a smile: "Who are you bullying, you are in such a good mood?"

"Jin Jiuling." Zhang Wuzhang's face was pulled down immediately, and he said solemnly, "This idiot who failed to succeed and failed, of course I have to make him some trouble."

Although Jin Jiuling didn't leak the news on purpose, it was also accidentally leaked when he was doing business.Anyway, this person will be sent away after the incident, Zhang Wuzhang is very dissatisfied with his work ability, but he can only vent his anger and let it go.

Zhang Wuzhang and Linghu Chong bragged for a while, it was really late, the two fell asleep after washing up, and were woken up early the next morning by the sound of gongs, drums and Mongolian horns.

Linghu Chong turned over and covered his head with a pillow and continued to sleep, but Zhang Wuzhang jumped up immediately, washed up briefly and then came out in a hurry, asking, "Where are you?"

Zhang Wuji went to bed early and got up early, he was already up and punching before the sounds on the street could be heard, and he was sitting on the wall watching happily at this time: "It's just a lantern honor guard presented by the local officials, it's not very pretty."

As they talked, a stage stage pulled by four carriages passed through the street, on which a group of actors babbled and sang.Zhang Wuji pointed: "This one is 'Li Cunxiao Fights the Tiger', and the one behind is 'Tang Minghuang Tours the Moon Palace', hey, there are even jugglers of spitting fire and swallowing knives, haha!"

The peasants on Wudang Mountain lived affluent lives, and they would call the stage troupe to come when there was a big wedding. Every time Zhang Wuji led a group of young Taoist priests down the mountain to join in the fun, and he could say a thing or two about every play.

What's more, these theaters are much better than folk theaters. Zhang Wuji watched with relish, but he also noticed that his brother was absent-minded and glanced at the street corner from time to time, so he asked, "Brother, what are you waiting for?"

"These teams all start from the city gate, walk around the city, and pass the palace." Zhang Wuzhang muttered to himself, suddenly pointed to the end of the street, and said with a smile, "Here we come!"

Zhang Wuji looked over and saw that it was still a stage, and the stage was performing the aria of "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone" after the death of Wei Wendi Cao Pi, the little emperor Cao Mao was worried.

He said strangely: "I haven't heard of this episode before. It's not famous at all. Who released this?"

Zhang Wuzhang smiled and said, "Look at the banners unfurled by the soldiers in front, isn't this the team of the six-door chief catcher Jin?"

This play is not over yet, during the half morning, more than a dozen theater troupes with similar plots passed by here, Zhang Wuzhang counted carefully, and when he counted to "thirteen", he saw a group of Yuan soldiers He hurried over and escorted the group of people away.

The imperial court responded, saying that some high-level officials noticed that there was a problem with this year's stage, and the direction of these plays was quite obvious.
