[Zhu Ning] For the sake of the country

Said to King Ning, "Uncle Emperor."

"Your Highness, the spring breeze is intoxicating, don't waste your time." Zhu Zheng of the Ning Dynasty bowed his hands and gave a slight salute, with a smile on his face. This prince really doesn't understand this woman's mind.

"Does Uncle Huang mean that we can go on a picnic?" Zhu Zheng asked honestly, completely puzzled by Li Feng's invitation to travel, and misunderstood King Ning's words.

King Ning was amused by him, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, even the corners of his brows were smiling, "Your Highness invites you kindly, but of course I'm disrespectful. It just so happens that I haven't seen the beautiful scenery of Meilong Town, so I'm here today to present the people of Jiangnan to Your Highness. We can swim and talk."

Zhu Zheng was eager to follow King Ning to learn the strategy of governing the country, the people's sentiments and the government, so he nodded quickly, "Uncle, please wait a moment, I will come later after changing clothes." After speaking, he immediately went into the house.

Although the prince was sent by the emperor to Jiangnan for training, he still had all the necessary manpower. After a short while, he changed the school uniform he had been wearing for the past few months, and changed into a black nobleman's shirt with a golden body. Wearing the Eight Treasures, coupled with his handsome face, he has an outstanding temperament. Standing side by side with King Ning in the courtyard, one is romantic and the other is full of heroism, all of which are dazzling royal demeanor.

King Ning did not bring his entourage, and the prince also went out alone. The two went out of the academy and went to the market together. There were many merchants in Meilong Town, and there were many shops. The palace is exquisite and expensive, but there are also many kinds of tricks. There are some food items that the two have never seen before. They stop and go along the way, and the fun is endless.

King Ning casually picked up a folding fan from the painting and calligraphy stall and looked at it. Zhu Zheng looked at the fans on the table, with paintings of plum blossoms, orchids, etc. that literati love most, and asked casually, "What flowers does the emperor like?"

"Plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, I like bamboo, and bamboo can also eat bamboo shoots." King Ning looked down at the strands of green bamboo on the fan, and replied casually.

Zhu Zheng "..." Is bamboo a flower?

King Ning bought this fan with green leaves and green bamboos, and continued to visit the market with Zhu Zheng holding the fan all the way. Zhu Zheng bought Cuju balls and horse poles, and planned to learn skills with the students in the academy.

Before he knew it, it was lunch time, and Zhu Zheng remembered that he promised Li Feng to go to her restaurant today. King Ning finally got the chance and asked, "How does Your Highness know Miss Feng?"

"Ten days ago, our academy celebrated Teacher Le Wen's birthday. When I came to her restaurant, I happened to meet a group of ruffians who made things difficult for her and threatened her with money. It was not easy for her to manage the restaurant as a girl, so I helped her get rid of those ruffians. It should be a good intention, since that day, she has been coming to give me food." Zhu Zheng was walking towards the restaurant, and the two of them had already gotten used to the gazes of passers-by.

King Ning had an expression of seeing through and not telling the truth, with a smile that was not a smile. Since the magistrate's son was cleaned up by himself, the roads in Meilong Town were not picked up and closed at night, which is comparable to the prosperity of Datong described in the book. Zhu Zheng was walking forward, only to realize that King Ning was standing behind him without moving, "Uncle Emperor? Do you want to come and taste the food here?" King Ning was Looking at the signboard of this restaurant from the side of the road, this store is located in a busy city, with a small facade and elegant and warm decoration. The standard script "Longfeng Store" is written on the plaque at the entrance of the store. There is a constant flow of customers in the store, and it can be seen that the business is good.

Zhu Zheng saw that he didn't respond, and his eyes were still looking at the shop, so he invited again, "Uncle Emperor?"

At that time, it was almost noon, the breeze was blowing, and a budding crabapple flower was swaying on the branch of the roadside. King Ning was standing next to this flower branch. Yan Yixiao, this smile was directed towards Zhu Zheng, just like fireworks blooming in the night, the whole spring in the south of the Yangtze River was melted in King Ning's smile.

"Zhu Zheng, Zhu Zheng? Let's go in and have a taste." King Ning thought it was Zhu Zheng who was shy about seeing Sister Feng, so he yelled a few times before entering the shop with Zhu Zheng.

The shop was crowded with people and was very busy. After seeing the two people coming in, there was a moment of silence, and the sound of chopsticks falling could be heard. The guy who was doing the accounting at the door had experienced a lot of things, "Ah, two young masters, the shop is full of life. Hui, I don’t know what you want to eat? Our store does not have delicacies from mountains and seas, but it is really fresh and delicious. There is no one in the south of the Yangtze River that can compare with ours. The two gentlemen, please come to the private room upstairs, come, please hurry up "Ning Wang asked Zhu Zheng to go first, and calmly followed the prince upstairs, and when he turned around, he saw Li Feng's playful and inquisitive eyes in the corner of the shop as expected.

The two came to the private room upstairs, facing the window was the street they had just walked through, enjoying the folk customs while drinking and eating, very leisurely and comfortable.

"What does Uncle Huang like to eat?" Zhu Zheng sat opposite him, pretending to be proud that I came to Jiangnan first, and that I know this place better than you. "However, let's say it first, you can't eat those fine dishes in the palace." Zhu Zheng raised his head, showing that he was really involved in the people's livelihood here.

King Ning was drinking tea with his head down, and looked up at Zhu Zheng, who was as triumphant as a boy, saw the waiter come up to add water, and changed his address, "I will eat whatever you like."

Zhu Zheng "..."

King Ning couldn't bear to tease him anymore, so as not to settle the matter in the future, "What kind of food does Miss Feng usually cook for you?"

Zhu Zheng had already forgotten that he had come to promise Miss Feng to help manage the store, only then did he realize that he had become a customer and was eating at the table...

"Hmm... I don't know..."

"Ah?" King Ning was finally surprised this time. Could it be that the prince likes Li Feng so much that he doesn't look at the bowl every time he eats the food?

"I, I didn't eat it, no, I ate it, I can't remember it, no, I didn't know it after I ate it, no, it's all Jiangnan characteristics, it's very different from the capital, I, I don't care, I just know it's delicious "Zhu Zhengxiang was eager to explain the misunderstanding, and he was a little incoherent, although he didn't understand what he wanted to explain to King Ning.When King Ning heard Zhu Zheng mentioning the word capital, he quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop talking. Only then did Zhu Zheng notice the sound of footsteps and clothes rubbing in the aisle. Sure enough, Li Feng appeared from behind the door. "I've seen the prince, Mr. Zhu." She bowed down and bowed down. Zhu Zheng wanted to help her, but seeing that King Ning didn't move, he stopped himself.

After King Ning received her obeisance, Shi Shiran said, "Miss Feng is smart, since she already knows who I am, she also knows that I invite the students of the academy to come out for a walk, so please treat Miss Feng as if we are newcomers here. You can entertain your guests as you like. Miss Feng, do you understand?"

Li Feng rolled his eyes over the two of them, smiling, "Yes."

Not long after, the waiter in the store quickly brought a table of dishes, each of which was served on a white porcelain plate. The portion was not large, but there were many varieties. Li Feng served the dishes by himself, "This is fresh shepherd's purse from the mountains. When it is dewy in the morning Pick them up, wash them with spring water, chop them up, mix them with the rice cakes made during the New Year’s festival, cut the rice cakes into thin slices, and stir-fry them with the crushed leaves. Put it into the boiled broth to bring out the umami taste." Zhu Zheng remembered that King Ning had just said to eat bamboo shoots, and he saw him take out a section of tender bamboo shoots from the clear soup and eat them in a few mouthfuls.

"Miss Feng, these dishes are really delicious. It seems that Meilong Town is an expensive restaurant with excellent culinary skills. Zhu Zheng, are you really lucky?" King Ning did not forget to tease the people around him, and Zhu Zheng quickly swallowed a mouthful of food , "No, no, emperor... lord... I just see that it is not easy for Miss Feng to manage the shop by herself, and I just come to help from time to time. It is not appropriate to ask Miss Feng to do it every day..."

Zhu Zheng spoke in a hurry, there was still food in his mouth, and he covered his mouth with his palm, the switch between the uncle and the prince was not blunt.

"The prince is too famous, the son is too rewarding, and the daughter is just an ordinary person. It is nothing more than the son's high righteousness. He helps the daughter. The daughter is grateful." Li Feng could see the purpose of King Ning's visit to the shop.

Zhu Zheng got up in a hurry, supported her and was about to bow down again, and he was at a loss when his hands touched Li Feng's shoulders.King Ning watched this scene, and took another bite of pheasant meat.It seems that the crown prince really likes Li Feng, which young man would reject the affectionate coquettish attitude of a gentle and loving man, not to mention that this woman has always looked up to and worshiped this man, whether it is real or pretending.

Everyone has their own thoughts on this meal.

After Li Feng bid farewell to the two at the door, he relaxed the heart that had been hanging.

King Ning took Zhu Zheng to the outside of the city, "Just now we drank water shield soup, why don't we go boating to the lake in the suburbs to see water shield? I still have something to tell Your Highness about Jiangnan."

Zhu Zheng felt that today's Li Feng seemed different from usual, but with King Ning by his side, he stopped thinking about it and followed him all the way out of the city. King Ning's attendant, Zhu Qin, appeared at the right time and brought the carriage. Leave by car.

The scenery of lakes and mountains outside the city is vast, and the shackles of the secular world seem to have been lifted in this vast world. The prince and King Ning wandered in the green mountains and rivers in a flat boat.

It's not that Zhu Zheng didn't know that King Ning came to the south of the Yangtze River for him. As early as the New Year's Eve, he received a secret letter from his father from Beijing. In the letter, his father told him that he would send King Ning to the prince's side, and he would see the opportunity when the time came. act.

The imperial power in the world has been under the control of the vassal kings for a long time. King Zheng, King Gu, King Han, and King Liao shared half of the world's population, wealth, military horses, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty was only the lord of the world in name. It is the great worry of the father, and it will also be the great trouble of himself in the future. The father works hard, eats and wears clothes, and works hard to seek the well-being of all people in the world. Realized that coming to the south of the Yangtze River by myself was also a layout carefully arranged by the emperor. The prince lived in a foreign land, watched the movements of the people in the court, explored the undercurrents of the four kings, and used Ning Wang, who had only a virtuous name but no real power. Who doesn't want to appreciate this country from the top of the peak.King Ning knew that this was a battle of disparity in strength at first, but he went to the battle happily.Therefore, the crown prince is more wary of King Ning's arrival than when he comes to King Gu's territory. Such a man is ambitious, talented, and strategic, and he is the most unapproachable subject.However, ever since Zhu Zheng saw him, he had instinctively joined him shoulder to shoulder. Could this be regarded as a temporary political alliance? Was this also the intention of his father?

Zhu Zheng's mind was racing far away, "Your Highness? Your Highness?" King Ning called softly from the bow of the boat.

"Oh, Uncle Emperor," Zhu Zheng withdrew his thoughts and stared at King Ning's slightly fluttering lips, "Uncle Huang said that King Gu gathered money and food in the south of the Yangtze River. The court knew about it, but the specific amount of money is really true. It was beyond my expectation." Gu Wang was richer than he imagined, almost equaling the sum of the account books of the Ministry of Accounts. "So, Your Highness, the world's wealth is limited, and the vassals and courts are all fighting for each other. Now relying on His Majesty's wisdom, the four kings dare not act rashly for the time being, but this is not a long-term solution."

"Then what is the best strategy for Uncle Huang?" Zhu Zheng asked humbly for advice, the lake's lingering light reflected the faces of the two of them.

"It may be difficult to break through together, so we can only do it slowly. Perhaps breaking down individually is a good strategy, but there must be a chance..." King Ning himself is also a vassal king, and his proposal to cut down the vassal is awe-inspiring.If there is an opportunity, there is one in front of him. Isn't it an opportunity to kill the prince and let the four kings elect their own heirs to the throne.King Ning temporarily suppressed his idea of ​​taking a slant with his sword. Compared with such a rebellious thing as killing the prince, gaining the trust of the prince is the most suitable strategy at the moment.

For a moment, Zhu Zheng couldn't figure out what opportunity he had, so he heard someone calling him from a distance, "Zhu Zheng! Zhu Zheng!" He came because he didn't know how to row a boat. Do you still have evening class?" I didn't know how to jump into the air, jumped into the boat of King Ning and Zhu Zheng, stood straight between them, and yelled at Zhu Zheng.Then he turned around as if he had just caught a glimpse of King Ning, "Oh, King Ning, what a coincidence, you also come to swim."

King Ning definitely doesn’t understand, he must know Zhu Zheng’s identity, but he is probably the only one who can be so disrespectful and harmless in the world. Such a strange person travels with him, and it is worth investigating. I don’t understand. Could it be that he saw the prince going out with him? After a long time, will you come here?If that's the case, don't underestimate it if you don't understand it.

"What a coincidence, we are sailing against the current, and please don't understand the teacher to use the oar in your hand to paddle us ashore." King Ning said in a gentle manner, and Zhu Zheng couldn't help laughing.

That night, after saying goodbye to King Ning, Zhu Zheng was full of energy. He lit a few candles, illuminated the study as if it were daytime, and buried his head in King Ning's memorial to the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Sowing discord personally embellished Gu Wang's murder, but the people's livelihood in the south of the Yangtze River was indeed detailed and did not deviate.

The moon is shining, King Ning sent Zhu Zhenghe away, but he didn't understand that he hadn't left the lake. At this moment, the moon was in the sky, dyeing his precious and plain white clothes with a shining stream, and the leaves and blowing flowers knelt at his feet .

"My lord, that Li Feng should be King Zheng's spy in the south of the Yangtze River." Chuihua said softly, making sure that her voice would not fall on the fourth person's ears, "My subordinates have been inquiring for many days, and she arrived just after the lord came to Jiangnan. Here, get close to the prince, find out whereabouts, and exchange news with the porters who deliver food and wine in the restaurant every day, and then these spies pretending to be porters will pass the news of the prince to King Zheng by flying pigeons."

King Ning looked at Haoyue with his hands behind his back, and his voice became very majestic, with a hint of laziness, "This king guessed right, but must it be King Zheng? This king thought it was sent by the money fan, King Gu. "

"Back to the lord, the subordinates inquired that Li Feng came from Bianliang. The daily traffickers and pawns all have the accent of the Central Plains. In fact, the people of King Gu have also been to the Longfeng shop. That day the crown prince rescued her. It was sent by the King of Gu to smash the store, but the crown prince doesn't know what's inside."

King Ning chuckled, "It seems that King Gu thought that the prince was demonstrating to him, and he bordered his vassal in Jiangnan, so that there would be no troubles. Otherwise, the court would definitely take him for questioning. It is not a secret that this king came to Jiangnan. That money fan You can actually sit still, but Zheng Wang has a heart, and he came to find out the truth, which can be regarded as a little strategy."

"The Longfeng shop, Li Feng..." Chuuhua asked.

"The prince should like Miss Feng, so don't touch her for the time being. The chances of contact between Li Feng and the prince are still shallow. Even if she is allowed to pass the news, the king is not afraid that he will not be able to control the prince."

"The prince over there..." Ye Zi asked for instructions.

King Ning turned to face the two of them, "The prince's seniority is not enough to be feared, and it is difficult to pose a threat to me. At this time, we still have to win over him. Besides, he is surrounded by Jinyiwei who is secretly protecting him. I will follow him closely for the time being. I want him to act as soon as possible." It's within my grasp." After that, he clenched his right hand into his chest.

Since King Ning came to Meilong Town, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan, the entire government office feels that life is more comfortable, not for anything else, but for King Ning's generosity.The king of Gu is rich, it is squeezed out of the people's livelihood, and will not be distributed to local officials. The imperial court's salary is limited, and he is not an important official in Beijing. Naturally, he only cares about food and clothing, and does not care about getting rich. After the face-to-face meeting, there was a bank note to comfort these officials again. King Ning sympathized with their hard work in words, and he also sympathized with their hard work in actions. The vassal king with a fat head and ears is too strong.

Since King Ning came, Academician Ying of Guanzizai Academy felt that he was very busy. He had just declined King Ning's kindness to recruit him as an aide, but he was surrounded by letters from King Zheng and King Gu's condolences. Li Feng deliberately revealed that he had a good personal relationship with Academician Ying, so King Zheng got the news and sent his cronies to win him over. The cabinet ministers of the two dynasties just wanted to go back to the countryside and ignore political affairs. It must not be provoked, King Zheng and King Gu don't want to talk to each other, so they can only deal with it at the moment. Academician Ying guessed these bad "favors" and rejected Queen Ning as a small warning.When Academician Ying was in a bad mood, he didn't have the energy to discipline the students. The students were happy and carefree, and they took part in amateur courses such as cuju, polo and martial arts.

Since the arrival of King Ning, Zhu Zheng has really realized that the emperor's uncle's reputation is famous all over the world, and his virtuous name is sung all over the world. This is a vivid example of what a monarch should have. The words of hundreds of sages are useful for a year, and gather the hearts of the people. The courtesies and corporals are just picked up by King Ning, and the real emperor's imperial skills are given to the prince by King Ning.Zhu Zheng knew that King Ning had a magical power. The more he knew about his danger, the more he wanted to get closer. No matter what, he couldn't take his eyes off him, and couldn't get rid of this willing pursuit.

In a blink of an eye, it was late spring, and the crabapple flowers were blooming and fading, and the scattered petals were flying in the air.Since King Ning came to the tavern, Li Feng silently warned her not to approach the prince easily, then restrained her actions and greatly reduced her contact with the prince. In the school grounds, Wuxiu monk who doesn't know how to be smart, agile, and average in martial arts, the pseudonym Mao Ying, although he is good at martial arts, he hides his clumsiness and doesn't want to practice martial arts with the prince. of the head.

The academy's annual martial arts competition is coming soon, and Zhu Zheng is confident in riding and fighting. After all, the prince's good horse is not something that students can have, and close combat is also learned from the champion of martial arts since childhood. There is only one thing that is very difficult. This difficulty is temporary. If there is no one to help, that is the art of archery, and only those who hit all ten arrows are eligible to compete for the leader.

King Ning sent someone to deliver Mingqian tea to the prince, and Zhu Zheng suddenly had a brilliant idea.King Ning's archery skills are in the limelight in front of the palace, isn't this a good teacher.

King Ning, who didn't have time for romance, had another daily schedule, teaching the prince how to shoot arrows.

Of course, Zhu Zheng couldn’t let King Ning teach him in the academy. Doesn’t this make it clear that his status is higher than King Ning, so he can only meet in the bamboo forest outside the city. It's incredibly comfortable and a great place to practice.

On the first day of teaching, King Ning came to the appointment on time, and very considerately brought Zhu Zheng an archery wrist sleeve, a good bow and arrows.

"Your Highness, try shooting an arrow first." King Ning pointed to the target fifty paces away, and before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of piercing the air. Zhu Zheng drew the bow and released the arrow, and the arrow flew towards the sky... …Someone groaned in the distance. It was Jin Yiwei, who was secretly protecting the prince, who had his shoulder scratched.

King Ning showed a rare look of shock, but he regained his composure after a while, and walked towards Zhu Zheng who bowed his head, "Your Highness, when shooting an arrow, you need to keep your eyes on the front and your heart at the tip of the arrow. Look, you need to act like this." After speaking, King Ning's breath Attacking from the back of Zhu Zheng's neck, he supported Zhu Zheng's shoulders, adjusted his arms, and then slid all the way across his back to his waist, correcting Zhu Zheng's already stiff waist, and was going to correct his bow when he was about to slide to his thighs While walking, Zhu Zheng hurriedly called to stop, "Uncle Huang, I will come by myself, I will come by myself."

"Your Highness, try another arrow." King Ning couldn't bear to watch the stiff movements in front of him.

Zhu Zheng looked ahead and his heart was behind him. The arrow fell one step away, which was only a little farther than a child throwing an arrow.

King Ning was at a loss for words.

"Uncle Huang, why don't you demonstrate it to me," Zhu Zheng felt that face was no longer important. "Uncle Huang pierces Yang with a hundred steps of archery." Zhu Zheng didn't forget to play tricks.

"Okay." King Ning smiled slightly, took the good bow in Zhu Zheng's hand, and took three feathered arrows from his side. The target was carried out, before Zhu Zheng could applaud, King Ning was already out of shape, the second arrow had already flown out, and the speed was catching up with the first arrow. After hitting the first arrow, it flew straight into the tree trunk in front of him, and King Ning's toes Lightly tap the ground, and sweep towards the hollow, the third arrow pierces through the air, inserts from the tail of the second arrow, splits a slender feathered arrow straight into two, and then nails it into the tree trunk, the arrow goes deep, and the tail of the arrow is still there Trembling slightly, King Ning's posture landed on the ground and he retracted his moves after two turns. Zhu Zheng still had a glimpse of his hair and ribbons in front of him.

"Okay!" The four Jin Yiwei in the dark couldn't help applauding, this archery is simply the best in the world.King Ning glanced quickly at the prince's hidden guards who appeared around him, and saw their protective circle. Regardless of their mission in the dark, several Jin Yiwei turned their backs and fell under King Ning's martial arts.King Ning pursed his lips in satisfaction and smiled towards Zhu Zheng, "Your Highness, practice diligently." He returned the bow to Zhu Zheng.

Zhu Zheng regretted that he had learned from the prince. This archery skill would be difficult to match even if he practiced it for another ten years. He was immediately discouraged. He also picked up three feathered arrows, ran a hundred steps away from the target, and pulled the bowstring vigorously. It was too late to stop it, Zhu Zheng fired three arrows at once, one shot into the sky without a trace, the second arrow was jumped from a tree by a Jin Yiwei, Kan Kan dodged it, the third arrow shot at King Ning, Zhu Zhengda Horror, King Ning was extremely agile, and then kicked the arrow away with a high kick, and the deadly arrow hit the red heart.

In the bamboo forest there is only the sound of the wind.

From then on, in Jin Yiwei's mind, the prince's practice of arrows was juxtaposed with the danger of eternal doom.Whenever the prince practices martial arts today, the protective circle retreats three hundred steps.It was King Ning who had the guts to stay with the prince for three days. I don't know what kind of extraordinary skill King Ning used, but the prince finally managed to stay on target after three days.King Ning went to Yingtian Mansion to inspect the river workers. This arduous training was given to the ignorant. Although he loved the prince, he also cared for his own life. When he drew his bow, he also took a hundred steps back automatically, and then he must have ordered Zhu Zheng to call it a day and go back to the house before the meal time.

On this day, King Ning returned to Meilong Town from the riverside. After midnight, he received a secret letter from the eyeliner in the palace. The secret letter was written with special ink, and the writing would only appear after the letter paper was baked. .In the middle of the night, King Ning put on his cloak and lit the high candle. He swept the letter paper on the flame lightly, and the hidden handwriting slowly appeared. There were only four words in the whole text.

There was a light knock on the study door, and King Ning said solemnly, "Come in."

Chuihua's night clothes still carry the wind and dust from her journey.The room was dim, and King Ning's face was softened a lot by the light, but Chuihua knew that this was an illusion, and what the prince was waiting for was his own secret report.

"My lord, King Zheng has assembled the troops in the feudal domain two days ago, and they have set off from Henan today, and the target should be the capital." Chuhua looked down at the tiles under her feet.

"So fast?" King Ning was also slightly surprised. He had just learned that "the emperor is critically ill" in the palace, and King Zheng had already prepared everything and sent troops to the capital.The emperor in Beijing is critically ill, the power is falling apart, the crown prince is living in the south of the Yangtze River, and the prince is unstable. There are bound to be countless undercurrents in the capital. The feudal domain is small, the troops are insufficient, and it is far away from the capital. No matter how you plan, you can't fight against King Zheng. This is really a miscalculation and unwillingness. "My lord, the King of Liao also showed signs of mobilizing troops. King Han's troops are already on their way to the capital, and King Gu is also intending to leave for the capital." Chuhua reported himself and all the spies.

King Ning took a deep breath, thinking quickly.The strength of the four kings is too great, it is difficult for them to match, and their actions are too fast, no matter what, they will not be able to catch up this time. Is there any way to reverse the adverse trend and hit it with one blow.By the way, there is also the prince. "How is the prince?" When he was asking, Ye Zi also came late at night, "How is the prince these days?" King Ning is not in Westgate, and his eyes and ears are everywhere, "As usual, there is nothing unusual." Ye Zi also knelt Fell down at the desk.

The snacks prepared for King Ning in the mansion in the middle of the night remained unchanged. Since King Ning came to the south of the Yangtze River, the taste has also changed to a light, delicious and slightly sweet taste. The eight dishes of exquisite food on the desk have become decorations tonight.

Has the prince not received the emperor's letter yet?Don't you know anything about the affairs of the palace?Then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the opportunity is fleeting, so King Ning made up his mind and instructed the two of them carefully.This world is full of descendants of the emperor with the surname Zhu, so why not let me describe the country in my heart.

Ten days later it will be the duel of martial arts in the academy. Zhu Zheng has been particularly diligent these few days. Just after the morning, he can be seen in the bamboo grove. Today he is still practicing archery hard. Zhu Zheng's archery has improved by leaps and bounds. Except for the occasional miss, he can also hit the center.Zhu Zhenggang hit the red heart with an arrow for the first time, his confidence was greatly increased, and his emotions were high. When the second arrow was shot, he saw a figure beside him, and immediately loosened his wrist. The arrow flew out at an incredible angle, and the Jin Yiwei around him silently stepped back. One hundred steps.

King Ning Fengshen Junyi came, "Your Highness has made great progress." King Ning looked at the arrow that Zhu Zheng hit the bull's-eye, and smiled.

Zhu Zheng was originally satisfied with his feats these days, but when he saw King Ning, he felt a complicated feeling in his heart.King Ning is too dazzling, his tiny archery skills are not worth mentioning under his Lianzhong Sanyuan, but King Ning's one word of praise, even if it is a hypocritical compliment, makes him secretly happy.

"Uncle Emperor." Just before Zhu Zhengfang shot the arrow, the imaginary person was right in front of his eyes, but his heart was twitching, but his face was calm.

In fact, King Ning had already arrived, but he just watched a few more arrows before greeting Zhu Zheng.

"Your Highness is determined and diligent in practice. I will be able to continue the current prosperity in the future." King Ning said sincerely, so a prince with too much ambition is a troublesome burden.

"The emperor's uncle has won the award." Zhu Zheng found that as long as King Ning smiled at him, no amount of alienation and guard would dissipate. What's more, there were words of appreciation in today's smile. Smile, a happy smile, even the usual handsome brows and eyes are relaxed.

I don't know when I came to the bamboo forest, I saw these two people standing side by side, looking at each other and smiling, the pure smiles of the successors of the Ming Dynasty and the powerful officials in the future, with the blue leaves and blue sky as the picture, far away from the disputes in the world, the turmoil in the court, pure and untainted, pure beauty.

The upheaval happened in an instant, a man in black descended from the sky, with a long sword in his hand, and aimed at the prince's life.No one noticed the sudden appearance of the assassin, and it was too late for Jin Yiwei to come from a distance. Zhu Zheng only saw the sharp white tip of the sword in the assassin's hand rushing towards him. King Ning still had the same smile on his face.He didn't understand that the blood in his whole body had stopped, he instinctively closed his eyes tightly and turned his head away, the Great Ming Dynasty was about to change dramatically.

A moment ago, King Ning was still thinking about the result of this sword. When he realized it, he felt a sharp pain in his left chest. His body reacted faster than his consciousness. King Ning blocked Zhu Zheng with his body. It pierced straight into his chest, and King Ning couldn't help crying out in pain. All the strength in his body was taken away. Zhu Zheng's pupils suddenly locked and he stretched out his hand to support King Ning's crumbling body, only to realize that his body was Trembling, trembling himself.

The masked Ye Zi was the most terrified. When she saw King Ning blocking the sword, she desperately withdrew her strength to prevent her master from being stabbed in the chest. At this moment, she was dripping with cold sweat and forgot to think. King Ning forcibly gathered the last bit of strength , swung out a palm, and slapped Ye Zi's chest.

Ye Zi is worthy of being a secret agent of a sharp-edged killer who has experienced many battles. He instantly understood King Ning's intentions, and with a palm that was already weak, he used his lightness kung fu to leave here quickly when the time limit expired.

"Uncle Huang! Uncle Huang!" Zhu Zheng heard his voice change.

The big thing is not good, two Jinyi guards went to chase Ye Zi, and several Jinyi guards came from a distance, although they were protecting the crown prince, King Ning was also a relative of the emperor, if such a big event happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Uncle Emperor! Uncle Emperor! Are you okay!" Zhu Zheng also messed up, and fell to the ground holding King Ning. King Ning's right hand tightly clutched his chest, and donated blood kept pouring out from between his fingers. Bear to touch the wound, but never let go of King Ning. "Your Highness... Your Majesty..." King Ning could only gasp in order to support himself, "You... hurry... leave, this place is dangerous..." King Ning did not forget to give Zhu Zheng a look, those brilliant star eyes are now only There was only a gleam of light left, as if he wanted to say something else, but Zhu Zheng could no longer hear clearly, King Ning's light gold satin clothes were completely stained dark red by blood.Zhu Zheng hugged him and murmured, "Uncle Huang, you must not die. I have no hesitation in exchanging your life with the Great Tomorrow. King Ning couldn't bear it any longer, and closed his eyes tightly without any response.

Don't know how to recover calm first after being shocked, he rushed to the prince's side, "Zhu Zheng, listen to King Ning, this place is dangerous! Go!"

"You protect the prince to leave, and you take King Ning back to heal his wounds." He didn't understand, and realized that he didn't know where King Ning was staying. Seeing Zhu Zheng's dazed look with red eyes, he continued to say to Jin Yiwei, "Forget it, take it back with you." Where we live, hurry up! King Ning is dead, and you all will be buried with him!" These words were yelled on behalf of the prince.

Then he pressed Zhu Zheng's shoulder, "Listen to King Ning, don't let him get hurt in vain, take him back to your residence to heal, you can rest assured!" Zhu Zheng didn't let go, "Quick! Otherwise he's really dead, It's not too late for you to cry, it's okay, it's okay, I can't die!" I didn't know how to raise my voice.

Only then did Zhu Zheng hesitate to let go. Jin Yiwei was also a well-trained expert, and he carried King Ning on his back and flew back quickly all the way.

King Ning's consciousness was slackened, he could faintly hear the wind in his ears, and the tip of the white sword was still in front of him. This time, he really miscalculated. If he had a choice, he would rather choose to die in battle than in such a useless way of death. This is what he lost. Final Thoughts on Consciousness.

On this day, all the best doctors in this town were taken to the same place by Jin Yiwei. In the small courtyard adjacent to the academy, three or four doctors surrounded the people on the bed and tried their best. A dark-faced young man.The person lying on the bed must be a big person, as for his clothes thrown at the corner of the bed, the best fabric shop in this town could not weave them. The imprint of the surname Zhu.

King Ning's clothes were half undone, exposing the skin of his left shoulder and chest. The wound penetrated deep into his muscles. Although the bleeding had stopped, a terrifying bloodstain still oozes occasionally.Zhu Zheng carefully helped him wipe off the cold sweat on his head. Uncle Huang's face was as pale as paper, and the color of his lips had already merged with his complexion. The face that was always full of vigor and vigor was all weak at this moment. Uncle Huang must be in pain, even if he lost consciousness, His eyebrows still frowned subconsciously. The doctor said that luckily his life was not in danger, but his vitals were injured and it would take a long time to take care of him.Zhu Zheng let out a sigh of relief, as long as he can recover, he is willing to do everything.

After the doctor had bandaged the wound with great difficulty, he went to the backyard to decoct medicine. He didn't know how to come in, and saw Zhu Zheng tiptoely helping King Ning put on his left shoulder sleeve, fasten the belt around his side, and cover himself with his brocade quilt.

"It's hot, are you going to suffocate your uncle? He's already sweating."

Zhu Zheng's stern look frightened him away when he didn't understand the last sentence. "Your Highness..." I don't know how to change the rare and serious address, "There is a letter from the palace, and you need to unseal it yourself."

Knowing that King Ning would not wake up in a short time, Zhu Zheng calmed down, accepted the letter in his hands, and left his bedroom.

I don't know how to come to the bed, today's event is extremely dangerous and very treacherous, the prince has been in Westgate for many days, except for the occasional peeping to find out whereabouts, there is no one who dares to assassinate, the assassin is very skilled, Jin Yiwei has no After returning from success, he only saw that the other party was weak and small, and it was very likely that he was still a woman or a boy.

King Ning, who is praised by everyone in the court and known by everyone in the world, has not found out that someone has made a move to murder the prince. I don't understand or believe it, but King Ning can't swallow the medicine at the moment, and he is unconscious. He is obviously using his own life as a cover. Saved the crown prince, and it was completely opposite to the feeling he usually gave him. Could it be that he really misunderstood King Ning, and King Ning's virtuousness is all from the bottom of his heart?Looking at the man with his eyes closed, he chose to trust his intuition. He silently wiped his neck and stuck out his tongue towards King Ning, and then he didn't stay for a moment longer.

I don't know how to find Zhu Zheng in his study, and a cluster of flames in front of his eyes burned the letters from the palace to ashes. "What did you say in the letter?" I don't understand walking and shaking, casual as usual.

"Teacher, no one can tell your father's instructions." Zhu Zheng stared at him with a look. For the first time, he felt that there was something else in the prince's always clear eyes. Must win, in the eyes of the emperor, it is decisive to kill, but at this moment, in the eyes of Zhu Zheng, it is courageous and decisive.
