The wine was good and the food was good, but no one had any appetite, even the little fat guy who loved to eat at banquets.
Zhu Di alone had a huge appetite, eating meat and drinking wine, which was very unpleasant.
"Who are you showing your faces to?" Zhu Di became a little unhappy when he saw that several people didn't move their chopsticks very much and rarely drank wine. "I asked you to come here to drink. What's the point of me drinking alone?"
?”
"Yes, drink, drink." Zhu Gaosui raised his glass, "Father, I respect you."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "You have to be the third child. Father likes you like this, so listen to my advice."
He raised his glass and clinked it with him, drank it down in one gulp, then looked at Li Qing and the others, "What about you?"
"Honor my father." Zhu Gaoxu raised his glass.
"Hey, that's right." Zhu Di said with a smile, "Second brother, you have to learn from the third child, don't be too aggressive in everything, listen to others' advice, and have enough to eat."
Zhu Gaoxu understood the meaning of the words and said in a loud voice: "My son, I have written it down."
"That's good." Zhu Di nodded and touched him, "Don't be stunned. It's time to eat food, eat food, and drink wine."
Li Qing dismissed the negative emotions and picked up chopsticks to eat and drink.
…
Half an hour later, they had almost finished eating and drinking, and Zhu Di was also full of food and wine, and a bit drunk.
"This feeling of being drunk but not drunk is the most comfortable. I haven't experienced it for a long time." Zhu Di said with satisfaction on his face, and then sighed, "The only regret is that I don't have the chance to go to the Northern Expedition again.
.”
"If your father likes it, I will accompany you to fight." Zhu Gaoxu said in a dull voice, "Let's go to Dongyuan to practice martial arts."
"Okay! This is a good idea!" Zhu Di nodded, "Let's go now."
"Your Majesty, you can't stand the pain anymore." Li Qing said bluntly, "The effect of the medicine can't last so long."
"Then take another one." Zhu Di said domineeringly.
Think of it as a jelly bean. There are restrictions, okay... Li Qing rolled his eyes, "No."
"Stop talking nonsense, I know you have it." Zhu Di stretched out his hand, "Give it to me quickly."
"No, that means no... Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhu Di moved his hands up and down, and soon found it. He took out the medicine box from Li Qing's arms and hummed: "You still say you don't have it?"
Li Qing wanted to snatch it back, but Zhu Di held it in his arms and refused to let go.
"Give it back to me quickly." Li Qing was afraid of injuring Zhu Di by force, so he said helplessly: "That's medicine for tomorrow and the next two days."
"Whatever, I'm drunk now." Zhu Di didn't care. He turned his back to open the pill box and stuffed the remaining two pills into his mouth. "Second brother, let's go."
"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu put down his wine glass, wiped his mouth and stood up.
Brothers Xiaopang and Zhu Gaosui quickly grabbed him from the left and the right, "Boss, are you crazy?"
"You don't understand Father at all." Zhu Gaoxu shook them off and said, "Father, let's go."
Zhu Di smiled and nodded: "Sure enough, Gao Xu still understands me."
He glanced at the three of them and said, "I'm not drunk, let alone confused."
The three of them were silent.
Watching the two men walking away, Xiaopang was the first to react, "Let's go, follow up quickly."
Saying that, without waiting for the two of them, he took a step forward and rushed out. The speed was faster than before, and even gave people a feeling of flexibility.
Zhu Gaosui also hurriedly followed.
Li Qing gave a wry smile and walked out slowly, leaning on a cane.
He didn't go far when he saw Zhu Zhanji coming in a hurry. Li Qing pretended not to see him and walked straight out.
"Li Qing, are you going to watch?"
Li Qing pretended not to hear and continued walking.
Zhu Zhanji opened his legs and ran over, pulled him to make love and said, "Uncle Qing, are you still angry about what happened yesterday?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ang, I was just processing the memorial in the East Palace and discovered that bandit smuggling is rampant in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm going to..."
"Are you going to suggest that the Emperor vigorously suppress the bandits?"
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji nodded, "This is outrageous."
Li Qing sighed: "Listen to me and don't take this matter seriously for the time being. This is not the time."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhanji frowned, "Are you just going to sit back and ignore it?"
"The transfer of power is imminent, do you understand?"
Zhu Zhanji was startled, then nodded unwillingly, "Where is Grandpa Huang?"
"I went to Dongyuan to practice martial arts."
"What?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned, "He, can he perform martial arts?"
Li Qing was helpless, "This is his choice, how can I persuade him?"
"Where's my dad?"
"Went too."
"He went too?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, "So, the second uncle and the others also went?"
"Well," Li Qing said, "the King of Han and the Emperor are 'battle'."
"Ah?" Zhu Zhanji was shocked, "No, I have to go there."
After that, he jumped out like his butt was on fire.
…
Dongyuan Martial Arts Arena.
When Li Qing arrived, both sides were already lined up in order.
The King of Han, the King of Zhao's team, and Zhu Di's team, each led 500 elite cavalry, all of which were heavily armored cavalry.
Zhu Di was dressed in bright silver chain mail, holding an unedged broad-backed broadsword, and was sitting on a tall horse, with his back straight and his posture majestic.
In front of the horse's head, Zhu Zhanji persuaded him, but Zhu Di looked impatient.
Li Qing chose the best spot to watch the battle, moved a chair, sat down, and waited to watch the show.
After a while, Zhu Zhanji lowered his head in dismay and retreated to the next best thing, "Grandpa, how about my grandson joining your team?"
"Okay!" Zhu Di reluctantly agreed, "I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to prepare, but don't hold me back."
"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly clasped his fists and turned around to change into heavy armor.
At this time, the chubby little guy came over and wiped the sweat from his face, "Brother Qing, will something happen?"
"Probably."
"Ah?" The fat on the little fat face was trembling, "What should I do?"
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Nothing to do, it doesn't make any difference whether it's one day or three days, just let him be happy!"
Xiaopang had a tangled look on his face, and finally nodded helplessly. He could see that his father was really happy at this moment.
~
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Zhanji, wearing armor and holding a spear with the tip removed, drove his horse to Zhu Di's side.
Zhu Di shook off the sword in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone listens to the order. Who dares to hold back or disobey the rules of martial arts will be punished with serious crimes. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Thousands of people responded, and the momentum was overwhelming.
"Father, I will not let you go." Zhu Gaoxu said loudly, "You must be careful."
"Okay, let's see if you have that ability." Zhu Di smiled and swung the sword, "Charge...!"
Ta-ta-ta...
"Go ahead...!"
The five hundred cavalry had just started charging, and then Zhu Gaoxu also gave the order to charge.
The distance was less than a hundred meters, almost in the blink of an eye, and then they were 'fighting' together.
Xiaopang watched nervously. The sweat on his forehead continued and his sleeves were wet. Li Qing was also a little nervous.
This level of martial arts performance is very dangerous. Although you are wearing heavy armor, if you fall off your horse and get trampled, it is no joke. If you step on your face, you may die.
Danglanglang~
Crack...!
After a confrontation, more than a hundred people were 'killed' on both sides. The soldiers who were 'injured' voluntarily withdrew from the team, and Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu formed their own formations.
Fortunately, the soldiers who performed martial arts were all veteran actors. They all knew that this kind of cavalry hedging in martial arts performances was highly dangerous, so they paid special attention and no one fell off their horses.
Li Qing felt relieved and continued watching the show.
Xiaopang also breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and said to himself: "With this posture, we can end the battle in three more rounds at most."
"Thinking too much." Li Qing shook his head, "With fewer people, there will be fewer battle losses."
Xiaopang's only combat experience was to defend Beiping City in the Battle of Jingnan. However, defending the city and cavalry hedging are not the same thing at all.
"Is that so?" Xiaopang was a little unconvinced.
"Haha...just watch."
Li Qing crossed his legs and said, "How can the Emperor's final battle end so easily?"
After hearing this, Xiaopang, who had just relaxed, felt his heart in his throat again.
After a while,
Zhu Di took the lead in lining up and shook the reins: "Drive...!"
"Charge...!" Zhu Gaoxu charged back, shouting: "Defeat the emperor, there will be many rewards."
Hearing this arrogant tone, the always good-tempered little fat boy wanted to slap them both in the face.
Ta-ta-ta...
It was another hedging, and both sides lost nearly a hundred people. After a simple formation of the team, Zhu Di took the lead in charging again.
…
Two quarters of an hour later, there were less than fifty men and horses on both sides.
Zhu Di took a breath and shouted: "Come again."
Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and locked his eyes on Zhu Gaoxu, intending to capture the thief and the king and end the battle directly.
"drive……"
Zhu Zhanji was very good at horseback riding. He swung around on horseback to avoid the attack, and was at Zhu Gaoxu's side in an instant.
"Take my stick!"
The long stick was raised high and dropped rapidly, making a "buzzing" sound as it broke through the air.
The blow was so strong that Zhu Gaoxu suffered a concussion at the very least.
