Haruchi sat in the soft sedan, feeling a little anxious. This trip still required all the way to the west, and all important places along the river that were still under the control of the Yuan army needed to be surveyed.
The three prefectures and twelve counties in Yangzhou, Hezhou, and Chuzhou in the north of the Yangtze River have now been occupied by the Red Turban Army in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court has been confiscated several times but cannot shake its foundation. Because these three prefectures are close to the Yangtze River, but they are
The hometown of Jiangnan Red Scarf is the barrier of Yingtian Mansion. From Luzhou to the west is Anqing Mansion. Up to now, these two places have been the important places along the river in the north of the Yangtze River during the Yuan Dynasty.
Under the protection of five hundred soldiers, Haruchi was still a little frightened. A unit of the Jiangnan Red Turban Army was currently operating in the Luzhou area. The general leading the troops was called Cao Zhen. According to legend, this man was brave and resourceful and was a rare man.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader of the red scarf bandits, named him a guerrilla general in the north of the Yangtze River. Why did so many red scarf generals in the south of the Yangtze River send him to harass and fight? This shows that this man is very difficult to deal with.
Haruchi's team left Luzhou City and headed west, but there were no obstacles on the road. It was really a road to the sky.
Unknowingly, Haruch felt a little sleepy, so he leaned on the sedan and fell asleep. He was having a sweet dream, but soldiers outside the sedan came to report: "Sir, there is someone blocking the road ahead!"
Haruchi was shocked when he heard this. When he woke up, he found that the sedan had stopped. Haruchi asked anxiously: "Did the Red Scarf Army block the way?"
The soldier who came to report said: "My lord, he is a man in green clothes. He looks like he is a servant at the home of Lord Zhu, the Luzhou garrison."
Haruch was relieved after hearing this, and then ordered: "What is a servant doing here?" But then he thought, since he was from Luzhou, he should have come from the back of the team, how could he be stopped at the head?
The way to go?
The soldier hesitated and said, "That servant didn't elaborate. He just said that he had something important that needed to be discussed with the Lord."
Haruchi suddenly became impatient, but he thought that since this person was waiting here early, something must have happened. Could it be that Zhu Shouren had some fault? Thinking of this, Haruchi no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Go.
Bring that servant to me."
The soldiers outside the sedan took the order to go to the front line, and not long after, they brought a man in Tsing Yi. The man in Tsing Yi was none other than Zhang Dakui.
It turned out that Dakui's plan was to kidnap Zhu Shouren and force him to submit, so as to reveal the whereabouts of Pan Lei's family. But then he found that the token on his body was missing. It must have been dropped in the river when he was crossing the river. He had no choice but to change his mind. As long as Zhu Shouren was taken away
After forcing him to rebel, and then introducing him to the King of Wu, it would be a matter of course to rescue Pan Lei's family.
How to force Zhu Shouren to rebel has become Dakui's worry. Thinking that Zhu Shouren's distinguished guest today should be a high official, Dakui couldn't help but think that if this official of the Yuan Dynasty was killed in Zhu Shouren's name, it would be difficult for Zhu Shouren not to rebel. From this,
Dakui rushed to Haruch's team and blocked their way.
When Dakui arrived in front of the sedan chair, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I am a member of the family of Mr. Zhu, the guard of Luzhou. I have something important to tell you. I hope you can take the opportunity to speak." Dakui said it very politely, but he also
Don't think about it, how can a small servant be able to hire the powerful Imperial Envoy of the Han Army?
As soon as Da Kui finished speaking, a captain who was riding next to the sedan shouted fiercely: "Where did you come from, a bastard who doesn't understand the rules? How could you, the Imperial Ambassador, just invite me?" This captain also had a fiery temper.
He immediately waved his horsewhip and wanted to whip him.
Unexpectedly, Haruchi said slowly and softly in the sedan chair: "Don't be rude, get out." After hearing this, the captain stopped talking.
Haruch lazily asked in the sedan: "If you have anything to say, just say it here. I am my personal entourage here, so it doesn't matter."
Dakui looked around and then said flatteringly: "Sir, I heard that Zhu Shouren was planning to rebel." Although Dakui's voice was low, Haruchi heard it very clearly in the sedan chair.
Haruchi lifted up the sedan curtain with one hand and looked outside, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know the consequences of slandering an official of the imperial court?"
Dakui quickly bowed and said, "Even if I borrow ten courages from the younger one, I won't dare to talk nonsense."
Haruch immediately asked: "Do you have proof?"
Dakui said matter-of-factly: "Yes!"
Haruch couldn't help but ask: "What is the proof?"
Dakui looked left and right again before approaching him. Unexpectedly, just as he was approaching the sedan, the captain from before shouted again: "Stand back!" As he said this, he rode his horse over and raised his whip, ready to whip him.
When Dakui saw this, he quickly took a few steps back and begged for mercy: "Master, don't hit me. I just obey my orders."
When the captain saw Dakui retreating, he reined in his horse. Haruchi sat in the sedan and smiled and asked, "Just stand there and talk."
Dakui looked left and right again, put his hand on his mouth and whispered softly: "±1v&￥#＊＇±1v&￥..."
Haruchi pricked up his ears and couldn't hear what Dakui was saying, so he couldn't help asking: "What did you say?"
Dakui said helplessly again: "±1v&￥#＊＇±1v&￥!"
Haruch couldn't help but shouted angrily: "What did you say? Louder!"
Dakui hesitated and said: "If you speak loudly, you might be overheard. The life of such a small child is not guaranteed!"
Haruchi said angrily: "You come closer."
Hearing this, Dakui looked at the famous captain and said, "This military master will not let you get close to me."
Haruchi said impatiently: "Just come here, he won't stop you!"
Dakui walked to the sedan tremblingly, and the captain no longer stopped him. Then Dakui whispered to Haruchi: "Zhu Shouren sent a killer to intercept you on the way!"
Haruch couldn't help being surprised, and immediately asked: "Where will the killer intercept and kill me?"
Dakui said with great certainty: "This is it!"
"Where is the killer?" Haruch couldn't help but ask again.
Dakui then smiled and replied: "It's right in front of you."
"Ah?" Haruchi was shocked. As soon as Dakui finished speaking, he suddenly got up and started to attack. He slapped his palms parallel forward with a "click" sound, and actually hit one side of the sedan and the wood flew away.
Dakui put his hands into the sedan and lifted Haruchi out alive. The captain was so shocked that he rode his horse to rescue him. Dakui actually grabbed Haruchi's body and turned it around suddenly. There was a muffled sound, and Dakui
Haruchi actually hit the captain's horse with his body, and the horse neighed sadly and fell sideways along with the captain on the horse. Haruchi screamed, but he was unconscious from the waist down.
When the soldiers in front and behind the sedan saw the sudden incident, they all came to the rescue with swords and guns drawn. Dakui used Haruch's body as a weapon and rushed into the enemy group. There were more than 500 soldiers in total, and every time they saw Dakui
With Haruchi's body resisting swords and guns, how could he dare to fight back? An accidental injury to Master Haruchi is no ordinary minor crime.
Dakui rushed into the enemy group, kicked a military commander with a knife to the ground, picked up the sword with his hand, shouted angrily, and threw Haruchi's body upward. Haruchi screamed, and Dakui jumped down.
He stood up and struck back with a single sword in the air. Bloody light burst out in the air. By the time Haruchi's body landed on the ground, Dakui had already jumped out of the encirclement and galloped towards the wilderness. Dakui was holding the bloody sword in his right hand, but he was carrying it in his left hand.
Holding Haruchi's bloody head.
Hundreds of soldiers were stunned, and Dakui had already rushed hundreds of meters away. Such speed was the only thing these soldiers had ever seen in their lives. As soon as the captain on horseback got up from the ground, he saw Dakui rushing out of the crowd.
The lieutenant didn't care much. The first priority was to protect the safety of the master. But when the lieutenant separated from the crowd and saw Haruch's body, he was so frightened that he died.
As soon as Haruch died, all the generals who led the escort were guilty of dereliction of duty. If the court strictly dealt with it, how many of them would survive? Then they heard the captain's stern cry like a wild wolf: "Don't do it."
If you want to get away from the thief, chase him!" He shouted, drew his sword and chased Da Kui in the direction he was going. After hearing this, hundreds of soldiers woke up and followed the captain with their weapons ready.
Dakui's foot strength is actually something that these shrimps, soldiers and crabs can catch up with. When he saw Dakui, he was like a ghost in the daytime, and his figure was erratic, jumping up and down.
A mountain appeared in front of him, and Dakui kept running straight into the mountain. Although the mountain forest was full of thorns and rugged, it was difficult to walk, but Dakui had been walking in Tiantai Mountain in his early years, and such mountain roads were as flat as the ground, but he had long been accustomed to it.
Dakui reached the top of the mountain, stood on a huge rock and looked down the mountain. He saw that the soldiers at the bottom of the mountain were just rushing to the bottom of the mountain like a group of ants. Dakui couldn't help but chuckle: "How can we catch up so slowly?"
Dakui turned around and went down the hillside from the other side, making a big circle and heading straight towards Luzhou.
After this delay, it was almost dusk.
How could Dakui enter the city gate safely while carrying a knife in one hand and a human head in the other? In this case, he could only wait until night before crossing the city. Dakui had made up his mind and found a secluded place in the dense forest to hide.
It was late at night, and Zhu Shouren was used to reading after dinner, so the lights in the study room were still on until now.
"A promise from a husband is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
"A person who has all his talents and virtues is called a "sage"; a person who has both talents and virtues is called a "fool"; a person who has perfect virtues is called a "gentleman"; a person who has talents and virtues exceeds all is called a "villain"."
"Whenever you use skills to get people, you won't be able to make a saint. A gentleman should use it instead of getting a villain. Don't mess with fools. Talented people are the endowment of virtue; Virtue is the leader of talent."
"Although the weight is small and weighs a thousand pounds, its virtue is enough to teach the right customs, its talent is enough to establish principles and discipline, its clarity is enough to control the subtle and the far-sighted, and its strength is enough to forge benevolence and solidify righteousness."
"If it is big, it will benefit the world; if it is small, it will benefit the country."
"Those who are smart and clear should avoid interruption; those who are quiet and comfortable should avoid being late; those who have a broad mind should avoid forgetting."
"Listen to both and you will be enlightened; if you listen to one and all, you will be dark."
"The master must believe. If you believe and believe again, who wouldn't be close to you?"
"If you blame someone for their difficulties, then those who are easy will do it right without working hard; if you make up for their shortcomings, then those who are good will succeed without working hard."
At this moment, Zhu Shouren was reading Zizhi Tongjian, but he was looking for chapters and sentences to select the essence. The ancients once said: Only by learning and acquiring the method can you achieve something. Reading like Zhu Shouren's is concise, practical, easy to learn and understand.
Just as Zhu Shouren was reading, a strong wind blew, and the study door creaked open. Zhu Shouren couldn't help but look in front of the door. Unexpectedly, something rolled in from outside the door, and Zhu Shouren was shocked.
When he looked closely to see what the thing that rolled in was, Zhu Shouren was so shocked that the thing that rolled in was actually a human head!
