"Then don't worry, second brother. Lao Wu must have made arrangements for it." Before Zhu Su could answer, Zhu Di smiled and patted Zhu Xi's shoulder.
"Second brother, I didn't notice. Who was missing from Suzhou City in those few days?"
"Who is missing?"
"...Oh! I can't tell you!" Zhu Ping pondered for a while and suddenly realized!
Isn't that right? Zhu Xi then remembered that it had been a long time since he had seen Chang Mao from Duke Zheng's mansion!
"I bet we all noticed it!" Zhu Laoer, who realized later, really didn't notice that there was someone missing in the city.
"Although I noticed it, I didn't think about it. Now that I think about it, did I plan to kill all those thieves from the beginning?" Zhu Di was amazed, knowing that when the thieves came to attack the city, even him
They were all a bit panicked and at a loss. Unexpectedly, the fifth brother was already...
I don't know what I thought of, and then I became a little downcast.
Zhu Su saw this and was secretly worried in his heart. Now that Bu Nao was not too concerned about it, his two brothers laughed and said: "Whether the plan is successful or not, I really want to see if the thieves outside the city are easy to deceive."
"He will take Yang Lu there quickly and reply to the thieves. If he goes too late, the thieves will think that Yang Lu is unwilling to cooperate and will not come to the urn, so no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhu Su asked the dog to hold Yang Lu, went to the inner room and changed into clean clothes, and then went to the city wall to reply to the letter outside the city. According to Ma Fengsun's letter, he was alone at the south city wall at the fifth watch.
By lighting two torches and waving them, he agreed to provide external support outside the city.
Zhu Di, who was hiding in the darkness, looked at Yang Lu waving two torches in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: "Lao Wu, then Yang Lu won't be planning to deceive them, right?"
"What if that guy is telling the outside of the city that they have set up an ambush, wouldn't that mean..."
"No. Yang Lu doesn't have the guts." Zhu Su was very sure. "A villain like him is often the most calculating. We can't fail to see that Ru Ming has already taken charge of Tiandong's righteousness. He has taken refuge in those difficult situations."
A thief who becomes a great weapon will die sooner or later."
"I guess it was because he saw this that he was ready to run away after receiving the letter of surrender... Tongyi will die sooner or later, but being shaken out of the smuggler's armor will not lead to death. Since he can't die, why not?
I took away my family wealth and became a rich man..."
"So, does this thief see things clearly?" Zhu Xi looked at Yang Lu's back and smiled.
"Is that okay?" Zhu Su also laughed. To be honest, he didn't expect Yang Lu to make such a decisive decision...
I originally thought that he would be reluctant to bear the burden of glory that he already held in his lap and choose to give it a try.
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger... Isn't that the so-called 'know your enemy'?" Zhu Di nodded slowly, glanced at Zhu Su from the corner of his eye, and showed a look of shame.
"Two palace masters, five palace masters." From the front, Yang Lu nodded and trotted back. "The thieves outside have gotten the news."
Zhu Su stood on tiptoe and saw a flash of fire outside the city. He thought it was a sentry sentry by the thieves waiting for news. Then Yang Lu nodded: "My fellow, it's best not to play any tricks."
"How dare you, young man!" Yang Lu, who was quite strong and powerful, looked like a slave at this moment. He even called himself humble. "The east of the palace is wise and mighty, and thieves can hit stones with eggs, but the young man can't see it!"
Please forgive me for your merits..."
"I was quick to see the opportunity." Zhu Su chuckled. Yang Lu was very good at acting. First he looked like a rough general, but now he saw the opportunity was not good, and he was so groveling.
His ability to adapt to the wind really made him a little... admired.
"Di Meng, I have been keeping a close eye on him for the past few months." Zhu Su, of course, would not let go of his vigilance just because of that. "If that guy makes any move, I will kill him with one blow."
"Don't be afraid that you won't be able to kill him. Just accuse him of whatever crime you want. Just say that he intended to assassinate the king."
The frame-up was so easy, Yang Lu had to apologize to Zhu Su with a sad face. Zhu Su waved his sleeves and said, "Well, it's going to be daylight. They can go back to the east tower first and have a rest."
"Although Ma Fengsun said that he would attack the city at the fourth watch tomorrow night, there is no guarantee that this is not possible. I hope they are not prepared for the bright moon and the red sky..."
"Maybe Hong Tian will have a fierce battle."
"No, I'm safe." Zhu Xi patted Zhu Su's shoulder, and then yawned: "In that case, I really don't need to hurry up and take a rest."
"I can't believe it, Mingyue really needs him to show off her legs!"
Yang Lu had secretly handed over the military talisman to Zhu Ping, which was not the reason why Zhu Ping was eager to try. If things changed, he would ask the person in charge to come out with the military talisman to suppress the rebellion with the Qin king's guard and stabilize the Suzhou guard's morale. Therefore, Zhu Ping
None of the Qin Wangwei, Zhu Di, and Di Meng wanted to stay in the south tower of the city, but Zhu Su and Wu Wangwei wanted to go back to the east of the city. When they wanted to go to the east wall, Zhu Di saw them off. In the night wind, they saw no one else in the tower, so Zhu
Su grabbed Zhu Di who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Wu Wangwei who was behind him and said, "Let's wait a little further away. He has something to say to Fourth Brother."
The guards asked whether they should cross their legs, and then turned their backs on Yuanji and walked away. When Zhu Di saw this, he also felt a little strange and solemn: "Lao Wu, what do I want to say to him?"
"Fourth brother, I've been... a little weird recently." Zhu Su organized something to say, "Is there something on your mind?"
"...Huh?" Zhu Di was stunned, and then forced a smile and said: "He? Is there anything weird about him? Let me tell you?"
"He always feels that I... am a little afraid of my legs and feet, and I am not as free and easy as before."
"Can something happen?"
Seeing Zhu Laowu looking at him sternly, with doubts and worries in his eyes, Zhu Di was no more than a ten-year-old child at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart: "Laowu, he..."
"He asked me, I said that he will conquer Mobei five times in the future and show off his power in China... is it true?"
"Is it true?" Zhu Su was even more surprised.
"Can you talk to him?" Zhu Di asked.
Therefore, Zhu Su briefly told Zhu Di about the history of Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mobei. He conquered an uninhabited area thousands of miles away from Mobei, and the army was everywhere. The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry fled from Yuanji.
Zhu Di was very excited when he heard the wonderful things. He couldn't help but look far into the distance, with longing in his eyes, as if he had seen his future self, chasing death and chasing north, fighting Meng Yuan so powerfully that he didn't dare to raise his head.
"That's great!" Zhu Di sighed with emotion. "If this is not true, death will not be in vain."
"Now, he is increasingly doubting whether the Yongle Emperor I mentioned is him."
His eyes darkened, and he returned to the worried look he had at the beginning.
