Haruchi sat in the soft sedan, feeling a little anxious. This trip still required all the way to the west, and all the 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 home base of Jiangnan Red Scarf is the barrier of Yingtian Mansion, and from Luzhou to the west is Anqing Mansion. Up to now, these two places have been 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 Scarf 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 get along 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: "It was the Red Scarf Army that blocked 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 when he heard this, and then ordered: "What is a servant here for?" But then he thought, since he was from Luzhou, he should come from the back of the team, how could he stop him at the head? way out.
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 was immediately 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 see me,"
The soldiers outside the sedan took orders to go to the front line, and not long after, they brought a man in green clothes. This man in blue clothes 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. In desperation, he had to change his mind and just take Zhu Shouren. 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 Luzhou garrison. I have something important to tell you. I hope you can take the opportunity to speak." Dakui said very politely, but he also I don't think that a small servant could hire such a dignified imperial envoy to 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 know the rules? How could you, the Imperial Ambassador, just invite me?" This captain also had a fiery temper. He immediately waved his riding crop and wanted to whip him.
Unexpectedly, Haruchi said slowly and softly in the sedan chair: "Don't be rude, quit." After hearing this, the captain stopped talking.
Haruch lazily asked in the sedan: "If you have anything to say, just say it here. I'm the official's personal entourage here, so it doesn't matter."
Dakui looked around and then said flatteringly: "Sir, my little spy heard that Zhu Shouren was planning to rebel." Although Dakui's voice was low, Haruchi heard it very clearly in the sedan chair.
Haruchi opened the sedan curtain with one hand and looked outside, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know the consequences of slandering the imperial officials?"
Dakui quickly bowed and said, "Even if I borrow the ten courages of the younger one, the younger one wouldn't dare to talk nonsense."
Haruch immediately asked: "Do you have proof?"
Dakui said matter-of-factly: "Yes,"
Haruch couldn't help but asked: "What is the proof?"
Dakui looked left and right again before approaching him. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to approach the sedan, the captain from before shouted again: "Stay far away," and then he rode his horse over and raised his whip, ready to whip him.
When Dakui saw this, he quickly took a few steps away 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 say it."
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 shouting angrily: "What are you talking about? Louder."
Dakui hesitated and said: "If I say it loudly, I might be heard by others, and the life of such a small child will not be saved."
Haruchi said angrily: "You come closer,"
Hearing this, Dakui looked at the famous captain and said, "This military master will not allow you to get close to me."
Haruchi said impatiently: "Just come here, he won't stop you."
Da Kui walked to the sedan tremblingly, and the captain no longer stopped him. Da Kui then 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: "It's right here."
"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 pulled Haruch out alive. The captain was so shocked that he rode his horse to rescue him. Dakui grabbed Haruch's body and turned it around suddenly. There was a muffled sound, and Dakui Haruchi actually hit the captain's horse with his body. The horse neighed 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 Haruchi'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 Haruchi's body was used to withstand swords and guns but he still dared to fight back. He accidentally injured Lord Haruchi. That was no ordinary minor crime.
Dakui rushed into the enemy group, kicked a military commander with a sword to the ground, picked up the sword with his hand, shouted angrily, and threw Haruchi's body upwards. 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 in his left hand. Holding Haruchi's bloody head.
Hundreds of soldiers were stunned, and Dakui had already rushed hundreds of meters away. Such a figure and speed were the only ones 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, let me chase you." He shouted, drew his sword and chased Da Kui in the direction he was going. After hearing this, hundreds of soldiers came to their senses and followed the captain with their weapons drawn.
Dakui's foot power was actually something that these shrimps, soldiers and crabs could catch up with. When he saw Dakui, he was like a ghost in the daytime.
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.
Da Kui reached the top of the mountain, stood on a huge rock and looked down the mountain. He saw the soldiers at the bottom of the mountain rushing to the bottom of the mountain like a group of ants. Da Kui 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 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 man who has perfect virtues is called a "gentleman"; a man who has talents and virtues exceeds them is called a "villain"."
"Whenever you use skills to get people, you will only get saints and gentlemen. Instead of getting villains, 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, believe and believe again, no one will not be close to him,"
"If you blame them for their difficulties, then those who are easy will do well without having to work; if you make up for their shortcomings, then those who are good will succeed without having to work hard."
At the moment, Zhu Shouren was reading Zizhi Tongjian, but he was looking for chapters and excerpts to select the essence. The ancients once said: Only by learning and acquiring the method can you achieve success. However, Zhu Shouren's reading is concise, practical, easy to learn and understand.
Just when 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 even more shocked to the point of death. The thing that rolled in turned out to be a human head.
