Zhu Huichan kept talking, and actually mentioned more than ten names in one breath, including the heads of the "Seven sects of the Central Plains" and also famous figures in the world. This Princess of the Ming Dynasty, who lived in the palace, could actually Li Hu was quite surprised to know that there were so many masters in the world.
Then I heard Zhu Huichan say: "There is also a great swordsman named Yu Qianli. When he was only twenty years old, he challenged Chu Changting, the chief swordsman of Henan Province, with his sword." Ranked fifteen on the Black Wind Record, he was originally a very ferocious robber. Yu Daxia killed him to eliminate harm for the people. Others called him the 'Sword God', which I admire very much."
It turned out that the princess Chitose also knew the name of the senior brother. Li Hu was even more surprised and said: "You can actually name the names and deeds of so many swordsmen and heroes, which makes me admire you."
Zhu Huichan said: "What does this mean? I know a lot. I usually have nothing to do in the palace all day long, so I asked Lan Dutong to tell me all the things in the world. It is more interesting than reading or watching a play." Too much,”
Li Hu said: "Lan Dutong, does he know the affairs of Jianghu very well?"
Zhu Huichan said: "Of course, Lan Dutong not only knows a lot of things, but also has high martial arts skills. After all, he is still my senior brother."
"Your senior brother," Li Huqi asked, "have you ever worshiped a master?"
"I have never worshiped the master," Zhu Huichan said, "but I have a brother Mu Yun who is Lan Dutong's senior brother, so he is also my senior brother. They have all practiced a skill called 'Wanxiang' The martial arts of "Silk Sword" is very powerful, but it's a pity that I can't learn it."
Hearing the names of "Brother Muyun" and "Wanxiang Silk Sword", Li Hu's heart moved, and he immediately knew that she was talking about Cao Muyun, the young man with strong swordsmanship whom he met when he hijacked a car in the city at noon. , presumably it was the Lan Dutong mentioned by Zhu Huichan, who turned out to be Cao Muyun's junior brother.
Seeing Li Hu being silent, Zhu Huichan said: "After talking a lot, do you agree to teach me martial arts?"
It was hard to imagine that Princess Kunyi was actually a fan of the martial arts world. She was so interested in the affairs of the martial arts world and was also very keen on practicing martial arts. At this time, she looked at Li Hu with pleading in her eyes.
Li Hu smiled and said: "Well, since you promised to reward me with many gold and silver treasures, and recommended me to be the imperial guard, I can teach you martial arts."
Zhu Huichan was overjoyed, but then he said: "But we have to make it clear first. If what you teach me can be used, I will learn the real skills of defeating bad guys. I will not learn the fake ones."
Li Hu said: "Of course, I won't teach you those flowery displays that are worthless or useless, but you just said there are two conditions, what is the other one,"
Zhu Huichan said: "The second condition is that you must often take me out of the palace to play."
Li Hu asked curiously: "Why should I take you when you go out to the palace? Could it be that someone locked you in the palace?"
Zhu Huichan said: "You don't know, it's not easy for me to leave the palace. I used to have several opportunities to go out to the city to hunt with my father. But in recent years, my father has been busy with political affairs and rarely goes out to hunt. I also I had to stay in the palace, and I asked the imperial guards to take me out to play, but none of them agreed."
As a princess, Zhu Huichan did not have much freedom in her behavior. Even if the imperial guards in the palace were brave, they would not dare to take her out of the palace without permission. Abducting a princess would be a serious crime that would bring disaster to the nine clans. In fact, This time during the Dragon Boat Festival, I went to Tianqiao Street to watch the lion dance, and Zhu Huichan hid in the chariot of his younger brother Zhu Cixiang and sneaked out.
According to the information from "Tenchu", the three carriages targeted for assassination had only one person in each carriage, but the carriage they were riding in had two people in it. It was for this reason.
Li Hu said: "It seems that being a princess is not very good. Being locked up in the palace and unable to get out is almost the same as being in jail."
Zhu Huichan said: "Who says it's not the case? So you have to promise that when you become a guard in the palace, you will take me out to play from time to time."
Li Hu frowned and said, "If I enter the palace and become a guard, I have to abide by the rules in the palace. Taking you out of the palace privately will be a serious crime."
Zhu Huichan said: "You dare to hijack even the palace charioteer. You are already a lawless bull demon king. What crime are you afraid of? I don't care. You must agree to it anyway."
Zhu Huichan was already very beautiful. Now she flattened her mouth and stretched out her hand to tug on Li Hu's sleeves and spoke coquettishly. She was no different from an ordinary little girl acting coquettishly and begging for mercy. Moreover, she was so bright and charming that people completely forgot about her. Her status as a princess.
Even Li Hu, who had seen countless beauties before, couldn't help but feel confused at this moment.
After a while, he calmed down and said: "You like to go out and play so much, why are you in a hurry to go back? In my opinion, you might as well stop being a princess. I will take you to explore the world together in the future."
Hearing this, Zhu Huichan was stunned. After a while, he said: "But if this happens, my father, the queen, and the queen will definitely be worried, and they will send many people to arrest us."
Li Hu grinned and said: "It doesn't matter. We went to the Human Village where there is no king's law. The officers and soldiers sent by your father can't do anything to us. If you go back after playing for ten and a half months, they won't either." Too worried,"
In her heart, Zhu Huichan has always longed for freedom and travel in the world. However, this is just a dream. Growing up in a deep palace, she had never expected to live such a life one day.
What Li Hu said really moved Zhu Huichan's heart. She pondered for a long time before saying, "But what should I do about my brother?"
Li Hu said: "Of course you are following us. I actually have another purpose in hijacking the car this time, so I can't send you back to the capital yet."
Zhu Huichan said: "Tell me what the purpose is."
Li Hu said: "My purpose is to eliminate an organization called 'Tianchu',"
"'Tianchu', is it the number one killer group in the world?" Zhu Huichan opened his eyes and asked.
This princess, Chitose, knows a lot about things in the world, and it is not surprising that she would know "Tianchu". Li Hu no longer concealed it, and was ordered to sneak into "Tianchu" in order to find its leader, Junfu, and crack down on it. The entire assassin organization was briefly discussed.
Li Hu's true identity and the purpose of sneaking into "Tianchu" are secrets of great importance. He has always been tight-lipped. Even when he was tortured by "Tianchu" that day, he did not reveal a word. However, Li Hu also It’s not that he doesn’t know how to adapt. After spending half a day with Zhu Huichan, he already knows that this little princess has a simple personality and is full of yearning for the knights. Instead of cooperating with the persecution, it is better to simply tell her the truth and win over her. to her cooperation.
Zhu Huichan listened with great interest, especially when she found out that the Bull Demon King was the younger brother of the "Sword God" Yu Qianli, her eyes widened and became brighter.
Li Hu originally planned to simply tell the story, but Zhu Huichan kept asking questions. She knew all the details about the killing of Ambassador Cui in Xuji Pork House and the battle on the Yujiang official ship. It was clear that even after Li Hu had spoken once, she was still not satisfied, as if listening to it was not satisfying enough.
Fighting gangsters with swords and cracking down on evil killer groups are what this little princess longs for most.
As expected by Li Hu, after hearing everything, Zhu Huichan clenched her fists and said, "This princess has decided not to return to the capital for the time being. I will go to Human Village with you tomorrow."
Li Hu said: "This trip may be dangerous, but don't be afraid."
Zhu Huichan said: "Aren't you the Bull Demon King? With you guarding my princess, those killers and wild beasts will definitely not be able to hurt me, right?"
Li Hu said: "You help me crack the 'Tianchu', and I will try my best to protect your safety."
Zhu Huichan said: "Then I'm not afraid,"
Li Hu said: "Where is your brother?"
Zhu Huichan said without hesitation: "Of course with us, A-Hang, don't you think so?"
Although Zhu Cihong was the prince, he was still young and very dependent on Zhu Huichan. Hearing his sister's question, although he hesitated a little, he finally nodded.

Humanzhai is located northeast of the capital, 260 miles away. It is not too far away, but it is already on the border. If you go further north and leave the Great Wall, you will reach the territory of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties outside the pass. .
Since Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, it was originally intended to use Beijing to guard the border, and Human Village is located between the capital and the border.
Human Village is called Zhai, but it is actually a city built on the banks of the Luan River. The river flows around the city from the southeast, and to the west of the city is a towering mountain called Yu'er Cliff.
Situated near mountains and rivers, the terrain of Humanzhai is extremely dangerous. The only access to the city is a ten-mile-long horse trail paved with rocks along the Luanhe River, known as the "Stone Throat Road." .
Human Village is a place where there is no royal law. Key criminals who are wanted by the government can show up without fear of being arrested. In fact, there are many criminals from all over the world in Human Village. Rogue bandits and desperadoes have no place elsewhere, but they can live happily here.
Most of the desperadoes have some money, but the wealth of Humanzhai does not come only from these people, but from trade. This city is the largest trade bazaar in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. , almost anything can be traded here, from all kinds of ordinary goods to rare items that can only be bought and sold in the underground black market.
Food, fabrics, handmade utensils shipped from all over the world, furs, medicinal materials, and weapons produced in the North are all sold and exchanged in Human Village. Another important product is slaves.
