Zhu Gui originally just wanted to make Lan Yu angry, and it would be profitable to snatch a sweaty horse from him, but later he was a little bit difficult to get off, and he didn't expect that he really tamed the horse in the end.
Zhu Gui is still proud of this. After all, he did not rely on the system this time, but relied entirely on his own strength to do this.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and this burly man broke in.
"Who are you?" the old man asked in a panic.
One of them directly pushed the old man aside and said, "It's none of your business, get out of here."
The leader said, "Don't cause unnecessary problems, just deal with them."
"Yes." The man who just pushed the old man away actually pulled out a knife from his arms and wanted to kill the old man.
Zhu Gui frowned, these people came here with bad intentions.
And no matter what, it was this old man who saved him. If he just watched him die in front of him, he might feel uneasy for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gui sat up from the bed, then stretched out his hand and said, "Stop, what do you want to do?"
The leader looked at Zhu Gui with a smile, "My young prince, do you think this is still the city of Nanjing?"
"It seems that you know the identity of this king. Whose subordinates are you?" Zhu Gui did not show any surprise on his face.
"Boss, the general's horse is outside, shall I lead him back first?" While the two were confronting each other, another person suddenly said.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then the leader said angrily, "You idiot, get out."
"Haha, it seems you are from Lan Yu." Zhu Gui laughed coldly.
"Humph, what can we do if we know? If you offend the general, even if you are the young prince, we will not let you go and take action."
After the leader finished speaking, two people came out from behind him, then drew their weapons and walked towards Zhu Gui.
In their opinion, dealing with Zhu Gui was just a very simple matter. Compared with the battles they had fought on the battlefield, it was obviously trivial.
They were still thinking about how to deal with the scene after doing this. It must be an accident. For this reason, they had to sacrifice two horses.
But when the people there walked up to Zhu Gui, they saw a strange smile on Zhu Gui's face.
"You are indeed Lan Yu's subordinates, but you are as proud and arrogant as him. It seems that you don't understand me at all."
Although Zhu Gui was weak, he still took out a pistol from his arms and killed the two soldiers in front of him with two shots.
This incident frightened everyone in the house.
The leader of the army took several steps back in fright and looked at Zhu Gui in horror. He never expected that his two elite soldiers would fall in front of him.
"You, what kind of hidden weapon are you holding in your hand?" the military leader asked angrily.
"Hmph, what qualifications do you have to interrogate me?" Zhu Gui laughed, and then fired a few more shots, killing several people around the military leader, but he only broke the military leader's two legs.
Zhu Gui was a little surprised that Lan Yu's men wanted to attack him, but regardless of whether it was Lan Yu's instigation or not, this was an opportunity for him, an opportunity to overthrow the opponent.
So he left a witness.
The old man beside him had collapsed to the ground with fear and could not even speak.
"Wang, prince?" He never expected that the person he accidentally rescued was a young prince.
Zhu Gui smiled at him, and then said, "Old man, you don't have to be afraid. These are bad people who want to kill me. You are different from them. You saved me, and I will repay you. But
Can you prepare some food for me now?"
"Okay, okay, the common people will get ready now." The old man ran out in a hurry.
Zhu Gui rested for a long time before finally feeling better, and then slowly walked outside the house.
There is no moon tonight, and the starlight shines on the earth, reflecting a blue light. It took Zhu Gui a long time to adapt to the darkness outside, and then slowly touched Xuehua.
At this time, Xuehua no longer had the arrogance she had before. She lowered her head and rubbed Zhu Gui's hand, showing an unusual intimacy.
"It is indeed a good horse. Lan Yu must be very angry, right? But for someone to want to assassinate me because of a horse, the situation is too small."
Zhu Gui thought for a while and decided to leave here tomorrow. After all, it was too unsafe to ride a horse at night.
So in the evening he simply ate some food prepared by the old man, interrogated the military leader again, and then fell asleep slowly late at night.
Early the next morning, Zhu Gui gave the old man a silver note of one hundred taels before leaving.
This time, due to Xuehua's cooperation, he did not ride so fast, and he met the personal guards who came to look for him halfway.
Among them were several soldiers from Daiwang's Mansion. In this way, Zhu Gui returned to Daiwang's Mansion smoothly.
Xu Miaoqing rushed towards him excitedly after seeing him, "My lord, where have you been? Why haven't you seen anyone all night? I don't know, it scared me to death? Don't do this again. If you want to leave, you have to take me with you?"
"Okay, I know, I will definitely take you with me next time." Zhu Gui said with a smile.
The news of Zhu Gui's safe return soon reached Lan Yu. He was so angry that he immediately sent someone to find out the news.
Soon he learned that Zhu Gui had tamed Snow Flower, and among the group of people he sent to follow Zhu Gui, only one of the military leaders was lame and brought back.
Neither of these two things was a good thing for Lan Yu. After thinking about it, he felt that this matter was very detrimental to him.
Forget it is a horse. Although it is precious, it is not to the point of being reluctant to part with it. But if Zhu Gui used this as an excuse to sue the emperor, he would have no reason to explain.
Thinking of this, Lan Yu's heart sank, and she immediately made a decision, and began to change into official uniform and enter the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang just came back from the East Palace today. The prince's situation made him very unhappy. At this moment, the news of Lan Yu's request for an audience came through.
"What does he have to do? Let him wait for me in the imperial study." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while but still did not refuse.
"By the way, where's Zhu Gui? Let's call him over."
"yes."
In this way, Zhu Gui had just stayed in Prince Dai's Mansion for an hour when a young eunuch came to his door, bringing with him Zhu Yuanzhang's oral instructions.
Zhu Gui was a little surprised at this point, but he packed up and hurried into the palace.
Before leaving, he also told Xu Miaoqing not to mess with Xuehua.
"I know, go quickly." Xu Miaoqing urged uncharacteristically this time.
It seemed that he didn't listen to Zhu Gui's words.
