The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

He didn't come, so he couldn't help frowning. Since Uncle Xue escaped the murder by mistake last time, the number of trips in person has decreased significantly, and the extra time can be used to supervise the two sons, especially Xue Pan. very.

Jia Zhu came out from Zhao Ningchuan, turned around and went to Jia Cong's yard. Now that Jia Lian has his own shop, he doesn't come to school every day. Jia Zhu knows this, but Jia Zhu didn't know that Jia Cong didn't come. reason.

When they got to Jia Cong's yard, they didn't see Jia Cong's people. When Jia Zhu asked, he knew that Jia Cong had gone to the martial arts training ground early in the morning and hadn't come back yet.

Only then did Jia Zhu understand that it seemed that Jia Cong was holding his breath. Jia Cong had a lot of strength since he was a child, and he loved to wield knives and guns. After years of practice, he was quite conceited. It is definitely not a problem for a young Tongshi to get No.1. Don’t look at Jia Cong as a careless child, but in fact he is very high-spirited. .1 was not obtained, which made Jia Cong suffer setbacks for the first time.

Jia Zhu didn't go looking for Jia Cong, and let him suffer some setbacks this time, so that he could understand that there are people beyond others, and complacency is the worst thing to do.

Although the emperor left the capital for a tour south, the government offices in the capital are still operating in an orderly manner. The second and third ships of the shipyard have also successfully tested the water, and the third ship is still a warship capable of combat. At this speed, when the water transportation starts, three sea-borne water ships, plus three equipped water-protecting warships, together with the escort of the local water army, will definitely not be a problem.

Jia Zhu has just let go of his heart a lot, and he still has some expectations. The person who proposed shipping was a person from the previous dynasty, but it has become a reality now. It can set a precedent. As the governor in charge of shipping at this time, how can Jia Zhu not Looking forward to a complete success this time?

But at this time, Beijing was peaceful, and they didn't know that there was a turbulent wave in the treasure ship of Shengjia, which was on the southern tour at this time.

At this time, the Southern Tour fleet had just left Yangzhou Mansion. During this southern tour, the emperor was in a very good mood. Although the queen mother fell ill suddenly before leaving, the emperor was not in a good mood at first, but when he saw the current river course As said in the brochure, it has improved by more than 01:30 from previous years, and the emperor's heart suddenly became clear.

All the way to Yangzhou, I was satisfied all the way. Last night when the boat docked in a small county, the emperor suddenly became very interested and thought of subduing himself. Xiao Yuan was still shocked by the incident of falling into the water that year. Naturally, he disagreed, but his arm You can't hold back your thighs, now that the queen mother is not accompanying you on the southern tour, who can persuade the emperor?

The emperor ordered the eldest prince to meet the county magistrate, and then quietly changed his disguise, and brought the remaining sons to the county town to dress in disguise.

The emperor was not interested in the city of the county, but found an old man on the road to inquire about the way, and went directly to the river channel that was still being repaired. At this time, the river workers were rushing to work overnight. He came over to chase people away, and when he heard that some of them were foreigners who were curious about how the river was built, Xiao Yuan was quick to hand over the money, then the foreman let them have a closer look.

The emperor looked around, and then casually asked how much wages were paid in the county. The river workers grinned at what they heard. Wherever they got paid, they were all local people. They were drawn to serve. It would be nice if they could have enough to eat. The emperor listened My heart sank, the imperial court strictly forbade the forced service of the people this time, but allocated a special amount of money, I didn't expect that all the money was stolen!

"My family lives on the edge of this river. The house has been washed away by the heavy rain these years, and my youngest son died in the house. Now that the court is making great efforts to repair the river, I feel at ease as a soldier. If I can really stop the ruthless No matter how tired you are, it’s worth it!”

Hearing these river workers say such words, the emperor was very moved. He stood on the edge of the river for a long time before leading the princes back to the boat.

When he got back on the boat, Xiao Yuan kept in mind that the money was embezzled. The money was appropriated from the House of Internal Affairs, and Xiao Yuan immediately asked the emperor to investigate the matter, but was stopped by the emperor.

"This account will be settled in the future. Now this money has been greedy. If they can feed them, they will not cut corners and go to the other side. If this river can be repaired and strengthened, the people on both sides of the strait will be spared years of suffering. Feel more at ease."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan choked back his anger again, and went back to his own cabin, Xiao Yuan could not sleep with his eyes wide open, he couldn't be held accountable even if he was greedy for money, and he wanted to use money to feed these corrupt officials. Well, so that they don't move other funds, what is this called? !

Xiao Yuan also didn't understand that now, the father is becoming more and more arbitrary and can't tolerate other people's opposition, but at the same time lifts up these corrupt officials and lowers gently, this is too self-contradictory.

Xiao Yuan couldn't sleep, but the emperor had a fever all night. The emperor didn't ask his concubines to go to bed tonight. It was the eunuch who was watching at midnight heard the emperor groaning. He thought it was the emperor calling him. Using a chamber pot, he ran in and saw that the emperor was blushing. He yelled twice, but the emperor didn't wake up.

When Chang Xi'er heard that the emperor seemed to have a fever, she was so frightened that she woke up drowsy. She ran to the dragon boat to see that it was indeed the case, and hurriedly asked the eldest prince to report the matter. Afterwards, several princes and accompanying ministers knew about it. No one dared to sleep anymore, the accompanying imperial physician hurried to the dragon boat, and upon diagnosis, it was indeed a fever.

The medicine was boiled all night, and several princes took turns serving the sick. Most of the concubines brought this time were young nobles and concubines. It was inconvenient to show up at this time, and they were all crying behind. However, the imperial physician was alarmed to treat the ladies.

After drinking the medicine, the fever subsided early the next morning, and the princes stayed up all night. Seeing that the emperor's condition had stabilized, they were all persuaded to go back to rest. The eunuch came to report that the emperor not only had a fever again, but also had a big bump on his back.

All the princes rushed over, the imperial physician was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, Xiao Yuan was in a hurry, seeing him stuttering for a long time but couldn't say anything, he was so angry that he stretched out his hand to grab the imperial physician's neck The son caught it.

"Father, what's the matter? You said yesterday that you had a cold, and you'll be fine after drinking the medicine to reduce the fever. Why is there such a big swelling on your back now!"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the cold poison has accumulated on the back and cannot be released on the outside, and this is why the illness has developed. I, my Majesty, I will prescribe a prescription to open the meridian for the Emperor." After the imperial physician finished speaking, Even scrambling to go out to prescribe medicine, the princes in the room frowned.

Because the queen mother was ill, the emperor left some of the best imperial physicians from the imperial hospital in the palace. The imperial physicians who accompanied him this time were not capable, but they didn't even think about it, they would be so useless.

"Brother, I see that the imperial doctor is too unreliable. The father's dragon body can't be delayed for a moment. Why don't we find a few famous local doctors in this county to treat the father's disease first, and then send someone to treat it immediately?" Set off and return to Yangzhou, and then invite a famous doctor to come over to consult with the emperor." Xiao Yuan was anxious and didn't care much, so he made a phone call.

The eldest prince has no idea at all, and he has a good temper. At this time, he is confused by the emperor's illness. At this moment, Xiao Yuan's words are like a life-saving straw. The eldest prince nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Shiwu is right, let's do it, come here!" !"

Just as the first prince was about to call for someone, the second prince said, "Going back to Yangzhou to invite a doctor is a good way, but the doctor here, I don't think it's necessary. There is no good doctor in such a small place, and another quack doctor will do nothing." Prescribing the medicine, if there is something wrong with the father, who can bear the responsibility? Is it the little fifteen, or the elder brother?"

The first prince hesitated when he heard this, but at this time the person had already entered, so the first prince ordered him to rush to Yangzhou immediately.

When Xiao Yuan heard what Second Brother said, he couldn't help being annoyed: "Second Brother, although this is a small place, it cannot be concluded that there is no famous doctor hidden in the world here. Now Father's illness is urgent, and it was the imperial doctor who diagnosed it yesterday. , now the father is not only not recovering, but it seems to be getting worse, no matter what the second brother thinks, the younger brother will never rest assured that he will treat the father again!"

"Brother don't bother to send someone, and my younger brother will invite the doctor himself!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuan strode out of the room, abandoned the boat and rushed to the county seat.

The county town is not big, so when I asked about doctors, I quickly found the most praised Doctor Li. On the way, Xiao Yuan didn't reveal his identity, but said that his father had an emergency last night, and then explained the situation in detail. .

"Fever first, and then there are big bumps on your back?" Dr. Li nodded when he heard it, "I heard that the young man's accent is a stranger, you strangers don't know, there is a kind of small insect in the river here, some It has a poisonous gas, and it’s the kind of disease that bites people, but this disease looks dangerous, but it’s actually not a serious problem. The local people know to use Jinjicao to pound the juice to apply on the swollen area, and then boil it into water to drink It'll be fine."

Xiao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that, he wished he could fly back to the dragon boat immediately, and when he brought Doctor Li to the side of the dragon boat, Doctor Li knew that he was going to treat the emperor.At this time, the doctor couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. When he went to the inner room, he cut off the emperor's pulse and looked at the wound. Doctor Li's cold sweat became heavier. "this……"

"Doctor, you just said that it was just bitten by that kind of insect and it's not a serious problem. Why are you in such a difficult situation now?" Seeing Doctor Li's expression, Xiao Yuan's heart sank.

The second prince sneered: "Xiao Shiwu, I said that quack doctors in such small places pretend to be famous doctors, but you just didn't listen. You just uttered nonsense and bragged to the sky. Now it's time to prescribe and take medicine. That's it."

When Dr. Li heard this, his beard twitched in anger, and he said: "To tell you the truth, the old man sees that the wound is indeed caused by the bite of this kind of insect. Originally, the disease can be cured by using Jinjicao. It’s just that I don’t know who gave the prescription carelessly yesterday, and now the poisonous gas in the emperor’s body has flowed into the meridians, and using this golden herb can only reduce the swelling, but it can’t cure the root cause.”

After saying this, there was a moment of silence in the cabin, and the second prince was furious: "Come here, drag this old man down, and punish him for the crime of lying!"

Chapter [-]: Long Zi fights against others and tries his best to rescue the sea boat

The second prince lost his temper and threatened to beat Dr. Li to death. The guards outside heard the order from the second prince inside, and four people came in with a whoosh. At this time, the third prince raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Slow down, Brother, what are you doing!"

"Why, third brother, you have to mess around with Xiao Shiwu. He is young and ignorant, so it is possible that the third brother is also ignorant! The matter of your father's dragon body is so big, you actually listened to the words of a barefoot doctor in the country, and didn't Trust the imperial physician who accompanied you in the palace, what kind of heart do you have?!" The second prince spoke harshly, but the third prince sneered.

"Second brother's words are wrong. Those of us who are sons are not worried about the health of our father. Although I didn't approve of Xiao Shiwu's reckless behavior before, I just heard what Dr. Li said so well, and I also feel that Dr. Li is very safe, the imperial doctor also prescribed a prescription last night, but what happened now, not only did not cure the father, but made the father's illness more dangerous, comparing the two, which one is better and which is worse. Brother is still stopping me now, but the younger brother wants to ask the second brother, what is your heart?"

The third prince spoke in a neither hasty nor slow manner, and he did not speak harshly like the second prince, but he said these words with a knife in his mouth. The second prince's face turned red and turned pale when he heard it, and he trembled with anger while staring at his eyes. But he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, the third prince turned his head and bowed to Dr. Li with a very respectful expression: "Old genius doctor, tell me, how should father use the medicine now?"

The Third Prince's courtesy and corporal demeanor is very personable. Dr. Li took a look at him and felt a lot more at ease. When four fierce guards broke in just now, Dr. Li also broke out in a cold sweat.

"This old man will prescribe the prescription." Dr. Li opened the prescription with a pen. At this time, the imperial doctor came in outside and looked at the scene in the room. His face was also a little ugly. He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief. , There is also resentment.

When the second prince saw it, his heart moved. At this time, the third prince had already called the eunuch to come in to take the house and follow Dr. Li to grab the medicine. The dragon boat had prepared a lot of high-grade medicinal materials, and Dr. Li took all the medicines in it. If there were no others, he would send someone Follow Dr. Li to the pharmacy to pick it up.

"Third brother, wait a minute." The second prince also suppressed his anger at this time, and his voice lowered a lot, but his subordinates also stopped Dr. Li and the people behind him who were about to go out.

"Second brother, what else do you want to say? Father's illness cannot be delayed for a moment, and I hope that second brother will not waste his time here." The third prince finished speaking anxiously, and then looked around at the other brothers around.

"I don't mean to be an older brother. I just want to ask. After all, it is about the safety of the father. If this prescription is used, the father's illness will not be cured. Who will bear the responsibility? Third brother, will you bear it all by yourself? "The second prince's words made the third prince's face turn pale immediately.

The third prince hesitated. He saw that Dr. Li said that he should be a doctor with solid foundation, but if it involves the body of his father, if, if there is really something wrong, then he...

"This..." The third prince couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at the eldest prince with his eyes. Now that the position of prince is vacant, the brothers are sorted by age, and the elder brother has the most right to speak. It would be great if the elder brother can resist this responsibility But that's all.

If the father recovers in the end, the one who fully supports Dr. Li's medication is a hero, and his position in the father's heart will naturally be different. If one is not good, the queen mother will be held accountable in the future. Can be safe and sound.

Before the eldest prince could speak, Xiao Yuan, who was already on the sidelines, who was about to explode with rage, spoke.

"Dr. Li was found by me. No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them all. In case of an emergency, I will use my life to bury my father and serve him in the underworld!"

Obviously father's expression has reached such a point, several brothers are still in the mood to fight endlessly here, Xiao Yuan was so angry that his eyes stared like gold stars, at this moment when he saw the third brother started to shirk his responsibility, he immediately stood up.

"Since Xiao Shiwu said so, I, as an elder brother, have nothing to say, Doctor Li, please." The second prince felt regretful, and secretly scolded Xiao Yuan for meddling in his own business.

Not long after, the medicinal juice to be applied on the back was ready, and it was indeed the right medicine. At night, the swelling on the emperor's back obviously disappeared a lot. After drinking the medicine, the fever also subsided, although the emperor was still unconscious. Wake up, but everyone's hearts are also let go, of course, everyone's thoughts are also different.

The third prince was secretly happy, but regretted why he failed to take up this responsibility and let Xiao Shiwu take advantage of it, while the second prince was uneasy.

If the royal father knew that he had blocked Dr. Li after waking up, if he felt that he had bad intentions, what should he do?The more the second prince thought about it, the more frightened he became. Among the ministers accompanying him at this time, Feng Wuzheng, a cabinet scholar, was the second prince's own uncle.

If the emperor becomes suspicious and thinks that the second prince is deliberately delaying his illness, and wants the emperor to return to the West after his illness, let alone competing for the crown prince in the future, he may even lose his life. Poison, if the second prince can't keep it, how can they keep their lives?

"Your Highness, why don't we act first." Master Feng thought a few times, gritted his teeth, and said this sentence.

The second prince turned pale with fright: "Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Jinling Commander Shen Lu is one of our people. Once the Jinling garrison arrives, this place will be His Highness's world."

The second prince's face turns green and pale: "Uncle, let me think about it again."

Lord Feng stomped anxiously: "My lord, there is no way out now, you must not be a woman again."

"Uncle!" The second prince smiled wryly.

Master Feng stopped talking, and when he was silent, he heard footsteps outside. The person who came was Lord Feng's confidant, and Master Feng sent him to the dragon boat to inquire about the news. At this moment, he was sweating profusely Walk in quickly.

"My lord, the emperor just woke up. Not long after, the third prince was passed on, and then the fifteenth prince was passed on. Later, I heard that he was called the first prince. Now the emperor fell asleep after drinking medicine."

These words crushed the only straw in the Second Prince's heart. When the servant retreated, the Second Prince's face was ashen, his eyes were red, and he nodded to Mr. Feng: "Uncle, just do as you say."

The second prince and Mr. Feng made up their minds. At this time, although the emperor drank the medicine, he did not fall asleep. He closed his eyes and rested. Without opening his eyes, he couldn't even move his fingers. The ruler of the world, who has always held the power of life and death in his hands, felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

The sons' quarrel rang again in his ears. The emperor who had just turned [-] felt anger and sadness in his heart. Xiao Shiwu was a good boy. Although he was not calm enough, he let the sad emperor feel a warm current in his heart.

After being able to control his body, the emperor really didn't want to see the fake face of the third child, but in order to protect Xiao Shiwu, he was the first to summon the third child. bad intentions.

He is going to give the second child a chance. If he does nothing, he will be made an idle prince in the future. If he dares to do outrageous things, then don't blame him as a ruthless father!

After calming down the anger in his heart for a while, the emperor felt a little drowsy and fell into a deep sleep. At this time, the series of events on the dragon boat, although the people in the capital knew nothing about it, the Weaving Bureau had already grasped every detail. The details of the conversation.

The horses that travel thousands of miles a day rushed to the capital at the fastest speed day and night, and Yang Zhizao's temples and brows were sweating. The location of the dragon boat is so close to Jinling, but so far away from the capital. Is there still time to move troops over? !

Although the Weaving Bureau has the quickest intelligence, it has no military power in its hands. If it wants to deploy troops, the Weaving Bureau does not have this power at all. Taking a step back, even if the commanders of all provinces inform the situation and request for emergency troop deployment, in case Leaking the news, the second prince fought to the death and hurt the emperor's life, which also pierced the sky!

"Look at this news." Just when Master Yang was at a loss, his wife Chen Xueying took out a copy from the book case and handed it to Master Yang.

"This is..." Master Yang glanced at it hastily, and his eyes lit up: "The sea-testing ship of the Haiyun Yamen is now in the waters near Huating County!"

"That's right. This time, the three large water transport ships and the three water protection warships have all arrived at Huating. Huating is not far from the dragon boat, and the people on the dragon boat will never know the news, and most of the sailors on these boats are from Jianghu Road. Born in Lin, he is skilled in both water and dry land, when the time comes to abandon the sea boat and board the river boat, take the water and mix in the boat of a famous doctor from Yangzhou to the dragon boat, the safety of the emperor will be guaranteed." Chen Xueying said clearly, Yang The adults nodded frequently after hearing this.

The commander of Jinling is able to mobilize ordinary soldiers. Jinling does not have a resident navy. At this time, the dragon boat is on the river. On one side are ordinary soldiers from Jinling and on the other are seamen sailors who are pirates. The chances of winning are great. Yes.

"It's just, ma'am, Jia Zhu, the governor of shipping, can you believe my one-sided words? If he refuses to send troops, what should we do?" Thinking of this, Master Yang couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Don't you forget, my mother and I have received a lot of favors from Mr. Jia. Although we haven't had much contact with each other these years, I believe that based on the love back then, Mr. Jia will definitely agree. I will write a book now." Chen Xueying After finishing speaking, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Huating County as soon as possible.

The information from the Weaving Bureau was indeed accurate. The sea-going ships had gone through the previous water tests. Not only did all six sea-going ships leave the capital for the first time to come to Huating this time, but there were also more sailors on board than the previous few times.

The information that the Weaving Bureau did not know was the news that was blocked by Xiao Ze, because this time not only Jia Zhu was on the ship in person, but Xiao Ze and the Queen Mother were also there. He also led a hundred members of Shenjingwei to protect the safety of the Queen Mother.

This time after the Queen Mother's phoenix body recovered, she was very upset that the illness came at an inappropriate time. The old man also wanted to go to Jiangnan to see the beautiful scenery there and meet old friends. Go to the palace to talk with her, otherwise the queen mother will be depressed and get sick again.

It was also the first time for the queen mother to hear about this sea boat, and Xiao Ze naturally talked about new things to relieve her boredom, but unexpectedly, the queen mother was moved to see this sea boat, if the old man loses his temper, he will be as stubborn as a child , Xiao Ze tried every means to stop him, but in the end the queen mother insisted on taking a sea boat, especially when she heard that the sea boat would go to the south of the Yangtze River this time, so she wanted to go, and said that she would give the emperor a surprise.

Xiao Ze thought to himself, maybe there was only "shock" and no "joy", but he couldn't stop his mother, Xiao Ze not only increased the number of protection staff, but also brought Xiao Cheng who was on wedding leave, Xiao Cheng Hearing that it was his duty to do so, he brought another 100 escorts from Shenjingwei, who was left behind to defend the capital, and the group left the capital.

The news of the Empress Dowager's departure was strictly blocked by Xiao Ze, and the north was still under Xiao Ze's control, so the people in the Weaving Bureau did not know the news.

The queen mother is full of praise for the sea boats. First of all, the boats are large and well-crafted, so they are very stable. The queen mother feels comfortable. Then, the sea breeze is cooler than the river breeze, and the sea view is rarer than the river view. It's even more enjoyable.

Going south along the sea road, here Xiao Ze is not worried about the pirates coming. Most of the pirates have been recruited and are now good citizens. Still very safe.

On this day, Xiao Ze accompanied the Queen Mother to watch the seabirds, Jia Zhu and Xiao Cheng followed behind and chatted and laughed together, but a notification came, saying that it was news from the Weaving Bureau that they wanted to present Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu didn't know what the news was, so she retired first and came to the cabin to meet the visitor. After reading the letter, Jia Zhu stood up abruptly, went outside, and told Xiao Ze and the Queen Mother about the letter.

When the Empress Dowager heard that her face had changed, Xiao Ze's face turned ashen. Jia Zhu had never felt so grateful that it was great that the Empress Dowager came along!

With the Empress Dowager in charge, the ship dropped anchor immediately, and the sailors on board were selected to go ashore together. Xiao Ze asked the Empress Dowager to return to Beijing immediately to sit in the palace. The Empress Dowager nodded. If something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiao Cheng protected the Empress Dowager and returned to Beijing. Jia Zhu, Xiao Ze, and the head of the family, Yan Song, led the sailors on the river boat and immediately headed for Yangzhou.

When they arrived in Yangzhou, not only the three famous doctors from Yangzhou had boarded the boat and rushed to the dragon boat, but also several ministers from Yangzhou accompanied them. Among them was Lin Ruhai, the Yangzhou salt administration. These people all obeyed Xiao Ze's arrangement, everyone made a speech, some of the sailors boarded the ship in Yangzhou, and some of them made a detour to ambush.

When the dragon boat was approaching, Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze naturally couldn't show up, they hid in the boat and waited for the news, while Lin Ruhai and others took the doctors to treat the emperor.

Doctor Li is really good at medicine, the emperor's pulse has stabilized a lot, but after all, the emperor has passed the forty years, this time he was bitten by poisonous insects, and it took another night, although the poisonous gas has cleared a lot now, But the meridians are damaged, and the qi and blood are also weak. The doctors all said that if the blood is not well nourished, it may damage the longevity.

Lin Ruhai felt very uncomfortable hearing this. The two of them, the monarch and his ministers, got along very well. Now that the doctor said that this disease needs to be taken care of carefully, but as a hard-working monarch of a country, the word rest is too extravagant.

On the second day after the doctors from Yangzhou arrived on the dragon boat, Shen Lu, commander of Jinlingdu, had already led the army to the county seat. No matter how majestic the dragon boat was, it seemed to be crumbling against the horses and infantry on the land.

"Second brother, you can't do it if you want to rebel!" The third prince, who had been in high spirits these days, turned pale when he saw the battle in front of him. One idea is that if the second child makes a move, I am afraid that the first person to be killed will be himself!

As for Xiao Ze and Jia Zhu, they were looking out from the cabin of the small boat, facing the army on land, they were extremely cautious and nervous.

Yan Song has already pretended to be a guard and sneaked into the emperor's side. When the army just entered the county, the sailors who were ambushing in the county to inquire about the news had already sent back a message. Now a group of sailors with the best water skills have already sneaked into the dragon boat from the upper reaches. below.

The army on the shore is overwhelming, and the bottom of the water is hiding murderous intentions.

The one hundred and fifth chapter escaped from the dead and the rebellion was put down

Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze in the cabin of the dragon boat couldn't hear how the father and son confronted each other, but seeing the pale face of the emperor who was not recovering from a serious illness, now with an angry look, he seemed to be more than ten years old. Jia Zhu was stunned and said nothing, the emperor is the elder brother of Xiao Ze's mother and compatriots, the two brothers are very different in age, although they are brothers, they are about the same age as the father and son, how can Xiao Ze not feel sorry for the emperor brother.

As a result, Xiao Ze looked at the second prince and the army on the shore with a little coldness. A rebellious son and a courtier can be killed but not kept. Drenched in sweat, he involuntarily grabbed Jia Zhu's hand. Jia Zhu sensed Xiao Ze's uneasiness, and held him back forcefully.

"Your majesty is the son of the real dragon, and he will surely save the day, so don't worry."

As soon as Jia Zhu's words fell, the situation on the dragon boat changed drastically. The second prince took a big step forward and went straight to the emperor. The closest ones to the emperor are the fifteenth and third princes who have been in front of the emperor's sick bed, as well as the famous doctor from Yangzhou who is returning to the emperor, and Lin Ruhai who accompanied him.

Just now Jia Zhu was still comforting Xiao Ze, but now that Uncle Lin stood in front of the emperor, Jia Zhu's heart jumped violently. Uncle Lin is a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken!If something happened to Uncle Lin, what would happen to the little aunt, what would happen to the two children? Jia Zhu knew that the relationship between the aunt and uncle was so deep that they were monogamous and had no one else.

At this critical moment, Yan Song, who had been following the famous doctor in Yangzhou, moved. First, the second prince did not expect this situation at all; The second prince's wrist was firmly grasped.

In a short while, Yan Song's fingers pinched the second prince's neck. After everyone on the dragon boat was stunned, the second prince was in chaos, while the emperor was all relieved.

"No, this Shen Lu is so courageous!" Just as Jia Zhu also heaved a sigh of relief, Xiao Ze beside him suddenly turned pale with shock.

Jia Zhu looked again, although the second prince was captured, but the large army on the shore did not panic because of his capture, and the commanding officer Shen Lu gritted his teeth, as if he seemed to be caught in a deadly trap.

At this moment, the archers on the shore started to release arrows, and the rain of arrows shot towards the dragon boat with the sound of wind. Yan Song let go of his hands and shouted "Jump into the river!"

Lin Ruhai knew that there was someone on his own to support him underwater, so he didn't care about other things at this time. He took a step forward and took the emperor to dive into the water. However, Lin Ruhai was a scholar after all, so how could he have so much strength in his hands? , What could have been done at once, but now I have to hurry up and finally reach the side of the boat.

However, at this moment, the arrow had already arrived, Xiao Yuan who was behind the emperor saw an arrow rushing toward the emperor, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Father, jump!" Then he pushed the emperor into the water, And this arrow also pierced deeply into Xiao Yuan's right arm.Xiao Yuan jumped into the river reluctantly, but at this time they fell into the river, and the positions they were standing on were shot into the sieve by random arrows. It's a pity that although the second prince was released by Yan Song, he also fell to the ground under the random arrows. At the same time, many people who had no time to jump into the river fell on the board of the boat, and the blood instantly stained the huge dragon boat red.

The emperor was supported by the people at the bottom of the water, and the one who rescued the emperor was Hu Zhi, the second leader. His water quality is known as the best in the South China Sea. Although there is so much weight in his arms at this time, he is like a fish swimming in the river. Leaving the range of the bow and arrow at an extremely fast speed, and arriving at his own territory, Hu Zhi didn't dare to delay any longer, and led the emperor out of the water.

It only took more than ten seconds, but even so, the emperor choked on the water and breathed away, and the people on the shore hurried over to help, pressing their stomachs, and some people breathed out. Someone came up from the bottom of the water, and Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze also rushed over.

Seeing that Xiao Yuan and Lin Ruhai were all safe and sound, Jia Zhu felt relieved a little, and hurriedly asked everyone to get on the boat, take another fork of the river into the sea, and head straight to Huating County where the ship is anchored.

And Xiao Ze went back to lead the accompanying Shenjingwei and Long Jinwei to fight against the Jinling garrison. Jia Zhu thought silently, be safe!

Shenjingwei is brave and good at fighting, and they are all dead men who are not afraid of death. Long Jinwei is not what it used to be. At this time, the emperor's life is no longer in danger. The arrival of Prince Zhongshun has solved the situation where the dragons have no leader. It's not as good as the army on the opposite side, but everyone on this side counts as ten, and not everyone in the opponent's army is Shen Lu's personal soldier.

The morale of the opponent's army is not stable, and his own morale is high without fear of life and death. Regardless of the others, Xiao Ze threw down the long sword in his hand that was difficult to use in the crowd, picked up a long spear, and broke into the opponent's army unstoppably, sweeping away Pawn, go straight to Shen Lu on the horse.

Shen Lu rolled down from the horse in pain, the people in front rushed up and held him down, Xiao Ze shouted: "Shen Lu, please surrender before you drop your weapons, and those who surrender will not die!"

This sentence was like a thunderclap. First there was a commotion in the crowd, and then there was the sound of "crackling" weapons falling to the ground.

At this time, the dragon boat was riddled with holes, and the river flooded most of the dragon boat. Xiao Ze led people to clean up the place. Although the second prince committed a heinous crime, he was the son of the emperor after all. Preserve the corpse well first, as for his disposal, only the emperor can make a conclusion.

Feng Wuzheng, who encouraged the second prince, also fell on the deck and was hit by two arrows. However, he did not die, but passed out. Xiao Ze ordered someone to treat his wounds first. This person is also a capital crime, and he must be handed over to the emperor. disposal.

At this time, Jia Zhu and Yan Song had already escorted the emperor and his party back to the ship in Huating port. The emperor is in a very bad situation at the moment, and the previous illness is still lingering.
