The sound of galloping horse hooves suddenly sounded in the dark night.
Under the bright moonlight, the long dragon-like shadow was filled with dust and smoke brought up by the horse's hooves.
Zhu Yunxi led three hundred Donggong troops from Dingyuan at high speed for two days and nights. The horsemen kept running towards the capital.
The old man wants to kill Lan Yu and the old heroes of Huaixi. He is extremely anxious! If the old man really kills all these people, then all the senior generals in the army who founded the Ming Dynasty will be wiped out.
These people cannot be killed!
I still remember that day when the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty invaded the northwest. When the old man said someone was looking for trouble, the generals in the court rushed to ask for a fight. How majestic and majestic it was.
During the military parade, even the gray-haired veteran generals wanted to be buried in horse leather because of their blood alliance. How loyal and loyal they are.
Amidst the yellow sand in the sky outside the northwest Great Wall, the army was fighting. These heroes who founded the country stood on the front line and were not afraid of the cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. How brave and heroic they were.
Even if some of them have bad personal ethics, they have merit due to Huang Ming! Even if they are guilty, they do not deserve to die. There are many emperors who have killed meritorious officials throughout the ages, but no one wants to catch them all and kill them all like the old man.
Got it!
In fact, he could have ignored it. With or without Lan Yu and others, his status would be as stable as Mount Tai. With or without these military ministers, he would not make the same mistake as Zhu Yunwen. He could be a good grandson, act as if he had not seen anything, and continue to return to China.
Everyone worships their ancestors. Be a good grandson of the old man, a good and obedient grandson.
But he couldn't ignore it, even if it meant making the old man unhappy, he still had to do it.
He loves the old man, and he doesn't want the old man to bear even more unbearable infamy!
Killing Lan Yu and others is two different things from killing Hu Weiyong and others!
He loved the Ming Dynasty and these rough guys who fought for the Ming Dynasty through life and death, protecting the country and the people, and keeping the enemy at bay!
Drive! Drive!
Zhu Yunxi didn't care about the horse power at all and waved the riding whip crazily.
The speed of the one-of-a-kind war horse under its crotch has reached its limit, and foam has begun to come out of its mouth. If it continues to run, this horse will be useless!
Your Highness! We have arrived at the outskirts of the capital!
Zhang Fu shouted on his horse in front, "In half an hour, we will be at Dinghuai Gate in the outer city!"
Speed up! Fast!
Zhu Yunxi shouted loudly, and the riding whip in his hand fell hard on the horse's butt. The horse under his crotch sprang out like a sharp arrow, screaming in mourning!
~~~
At night, the capital city stands silently like a mountain peak, and the towers of the city wall seem to pierce the sky.
In the arrow tower, the founding Duke Chang Sheng sat upright with red eyes and a messy beard on his face.
Zhu Yunxi's informant who stayed in the capital not only quickly passed the news to Zhu Yunxi, but also informed Chang Sheng. Because the Chang family was in charge of the defense of the inner and outer cities of the capital, Zhu Yunxi returned from Huaixi without an imperial decree and needed the Chang family to open the city gate.
Second Master, have a cup of tea!
A thousand soldiers dressed as veterans walked into the archery tower and put down a bowl of hot tea. You have stayed here for two days and two nights. Why not take a nap? I will let you know if anything happens!
Almost no one knew that the founding father Chang Sheng was on the city wall, and that the thousand households in front of him were the old members of the Chang family. Ever since he knew that Zhu Yunxi might come back from Huaixi, Chang Sheng stayed on this city wall, waiting for Zhu Yunxi to return and give orders.
Open the door.
There will be more time to sleep in the future, why are you anxious now? Chang Sheng looked at the stars in the sky, business is important!
Suddenly, the defenders shouted from the wall outside, "Who are they?"
In an instant, Chang Sheng and the Qianhu rushed to the crenellations of the city wall. Under the city wall, they saw hundreds of tired and tired knights gasping for air on their horses.
In the dark night, the torch suddenly lit up, and the burning torch illuminated the flag in the knight's hand.
That's not a flag, but Zhu Yunxi's five-clawed golden dragon robe!
Suddenly, Chang Sheng burst into tears.
The Third Master is back after all! It’s true, it’s true that so many people supported him wholeheartedly in the early years!
Open the door! Chang Sheng shouted loudly, and hurriedly ran down the city wall amidst the creaking sound of the city gate's winch spinning.
The heavy city gate opened a gap, and Zhu Yunxi whipped it again, drive!
The war horses galloped in through the gap in the city gate.
As soon as he entered, he saw his second uncle standing on the steps leading to the city wall.
Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly on his horse and ran non-stop towards the distance. He had only one goal, Jin Yiwei to suppress Fusi and imprison him.
The cavalry roared past, shaking the earth like war drums and thunder. Yingtian Mansion woke up in the night.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's team disappearing further and further away, a smile appeared on Chang Sheng's face.
Brother! At this time, Chang Sen, who had never shown his face, came over and whispered, what if...if the emperor is angry with brother Xi?
Yes, although Zhu Yunxi is the crown prince, he is still a minister after all. Even if the emperor loves him again, but in such a big matter? Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. You must not affect Brother Xi's weight in the emperor's heart.
.........
How about wearing armor? Chang Sen whispered again.
It can be heard that Chang Sen was very confused and anxious when he said these four words.
Are you seeking death!? Chang Sheng smiled, looked back at his brother's face, and said solemnly, if the emperor is angry, you go and report him!
What? Chang Sen was stunned.
You go and report me, saying that I was the one who told the Emperor Taisun that something was going on in the capital, I was the one who begged him to come back to save people, I was the one who opened the city gate, and it was I who alienated their grandson! Chang Sheng patted Chang Sen on the shoulder, you
Now go home and don't let anyone see you with me!
Chang Sen understood and said with emotion, Brother!
Xi'er knows how to protect us, and we need to know more about protecting him! Chang Sheng smiled slightly, and his eldest brother told us when he was here. He has to protect such a nephew to his death. It's useless for us to be uncles.
It didn't help him, but we had to rely on him! But if he is in trouble, what does it matter to our Chang family, even if we lose our family and die? (Chang Sheng's death was strange in history. It was said to be the Lan Yu case.
, but the thunder is louder than the raindrops)
Hundreds of cavalry entered the city and galloped through the city, quickly alerting the night guard.
Who are they? Troops patrolling the city, with crossbows and arrows blocking the way.
Emperor Taisun Yujia, get out of here! Fu Rang shouted on his horse.
Grandson of the Emperor? The leading officer was still a little surprised. Then he saw the dragon robe carried like a flag, and immediately gave way in fear and prostrated.
Gradually, the Jinyiwei Zhenfusi arrived. Hearing a sound in front of the Zhenfusi's door, the Jinyiwei who didn't know why started to intercept them at the door as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The emperor's grandson is here, get away! Fu Rang shouted again.
The Jin Yiwei are His Majesty’s personal soldiers.............
When Zhu Yunxi, the war horse, heard the nonsense, he said angrily, "Go in!"
The Mongolian warrior Aslan was standing in front of Zhu Yunxi. Hearing the words, he immediately drew his bow and fired an arrow.
Qianhu, the leader of the Jinyi Guards, felt a chill on his head, and his hat was shot away by an arrow!
Boom! Boom!
The war horses rushed forward, and the Jin Yiwei evaded in a panic. The two pro-army soldiers from the East Palace were the first to hit the Jin Yiwei's gate, including their men and their horses.
