Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 126
Hongwu ninth year, July, Chengdu.

Liu Bowen stroked his beard, and was sitting at the table looking at the maps in front of him, as well as the information sent from various sources.

Zhu Di, King of Yan, paced back and forth in the hall. After Liu Bowen finally read the information, Zhu Di came up and asked nervously:

"Old man, where is my third brother going? It's been a few days and nights, why is there no news at all?"

Liu Bowen also frowned, pointed to the map and said:

"We have blocked all Guan'ai crossings in Sichuan, but there is still no news of His Royal Highness Liao. To be honest, I really don't know where His Royal Highness Liao can go."

Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and asked:

"My third brother, he must have been caught by an assassin, right?"

Liu Bowen shook his head again, and said:

"These assassins must have been sent by Bei Yuan, if His Highness King Liao were caught by them, they would have come here to threaten and negotiate conditions.

It might even be possible to directly kill His Royal Highness King Liao and hit our army's morale, but neither happened.

Coupled with the wit and courage of His Royal Highness King Liao, he is definitely not in Bei Yuan's hands. "

Zhu Di sighed, and Li Jinglong couldn't help asking:
"Then, since His Highness is not in Bei Yuan's hands, why is there no news? We have caught many bandits and bandits in the vicinity. We have never heard that they have captured His Highness King Liao."

Xu Zengshou hesitated and said:

"Your Highness is both wise and brave. It is unlikely that he will fall into the hands of thieves. I guess he has his own considerations."

Everyone was discussing here, but in fact, no matter how much they said, it would be useless without news of His Royal Highness Liao Wang.

Zhu Di let out a long sigh of relief again, looked at the map in front of him, and meditated in his heart.

Third brother, where are you...

------

His Royal Highness King Liao is flying over the eaves and walls.

It was said to be flying over the eaves and walls, but in fact it was being grabbed by Bai Tang Yu'er and jumping around.

Bai Tang Yu'er is obviously experienced in lightness kung fu.

As soon as this hand was revealed, Zhu Qi knew that Bai Tang Yu'er was very skilled. It seemed that she was just worrying too much before, and she should be able to escape from the hands of those two guards by herself.

This small town by the river is small in size, several roofs jumped off in a row, and the stretch of houses has disappeared.

Not far away, there was a large group of soldiers holding torches, who were searching one by one, apparently the same group as before.

Bai Tang Yu'er deliberately led Zhu Qi around them, and it didn't take long for him to climb over the earthen wall and come out of the town.

It's different when you have kung fu, you can use the advantage of lightness kung fu to escape in this small town dexterously.

Apart from the town, Zhu Qixin was still worried about the Uzbek Tibetans of the caravan.

If the general went back, he would definitely not see Bai Tang Yu'er, only the bodies of the two guards.

He must turn back and trouble those caravans.

But seeing that Bai Tang Yu'er didn't speak, she kept walking along the main road in the dark.

Fortunately, Zhu Qi's diet is balanced and nutritious, and there is a moon tonight, so he can still see the road clearly.

Not far away, I saw a group of lantern-lit teams marching on the avenue.

It was only then that Zhu Qi realized that the Uzbek Tibetans of the caravan had already set off alone.

I'm afraid he didn't know long ago that with Bai Tang Yu'er's skill, nothing would happen.

In other words, when they went back to their tents earlier, they were not rummaging through boxes and cabinets, but packing up their things and preparing to run away.

Those Usi Tibetans obviously also noticed Zhu Qi and Bai Tang Yu'er coming from behind, they stopped and waited in place.

Just as Bai Tang Yu'er walked over, the Uzang woman happily greeted her and hugged Bai Tang Yu'er.

Speaking Tubo, the rest of the caravan members also walked over with smiles on their faces.

Zhu Qi walked over clutching his wrist, but he forgot that he was covered in blood at this moment.

Walking in the dark with only the moonlight, you can't see clearly, but when you get closer, you can see blood all over your body, not to mention the smell of blood, you can see it clearly.

Reminiscent of Zhu Qi leaving without saying goodbye before, and now coming back with Bai Tang Yu'er, needless to say everyone knows.

Zhu Qi must have tried his best to save Bai Tang Yu'er.

The U-Si Tibetan woman pulled Bai Tang Yuer aside, and the rest of the U-Si Tibetans cast admiring glances at Zhu Qi.

Someone said to Zhu Qi:
"What a warrior."

It could be seen that they looked at Zhu Qi with admiration.

The crowd didn't say much, after all, it's still very close to the small town, so it's hard to guarantee that the soldiers from Beiyuan won't catch up.

They hurried on and set off.

As for whether those Northern Yuan soldiers will catch up in the future, these Usi Tibetans are really not very worried.

From here, go backwards, the higher the altitude, the worse the environment.

And there are few people, and there is no fixed road to go.

How to go to Gaochang, then the full screen experience of Ma Guotou, the leader of the caravan.

When those Beiyuan soldiers found out that something was wrong, even if they chased them all night, they probably wouldn't be able to find them.

Moreover, the horse pot head deliberately made a detour, and even tied cloth strips to the horse's hooves, which can be said to be experienced.

In this way, a group of people continued to head north without stopping all night.

…………

Zhu Qi got into the carriage, but he didn't force himself to be a hero just because of others' compliments.

Originally, his body was in a weak recovery period. Although the fighting time this night was not long, it had already exhausted him.

Coupled with the bloody smell all over his body, there is no way to deal with it for the time being, so he can only get in the car and change back to his clothes.

At this time, the pain in his right wrist became more and more clear. The pain really made him grin his teeth.

It is estimated that for several days, this right hand cannot move around.

I don't know if there is any bone damage.

Zhu Qi couldn't help feeling worried inside.

If it is in modern times, you can still find an X-ray or something.

But in the Ming Dynasty, there was really no way.

But Zhu Qiqiang endured the pain and moved around. The pain didn't come from the bone, and it was just kicked. The possibility of the bone being kicked was really not high.

I am a young and strong man who is less than 20 years old, and his bones are not as fragile as those in his seventies and eighties.

Probably a sprain.

Zhu Qi could only diagnose himself in this way in his heart.

After changing his clothes, he grinned in pain and lay down.

Although the right hand was still painful, the sleepiness after exhaustion obviously overwhelmed the pain.

Just lying down, the carriage was rocking, and the creaking sound came from his ears, so Zhu Qi couldn't help but close his eyes and fell asleep.

But just as he closed his eyes, he felt vaguely that someone got into the carriage, and then he was shaken by someone.

Zhu Qi opened his eyes, his right hand was so painful that he couldn't help shaking, only then did he see Bai Tang Yu'er coming up.

If it was before the injury, tonight must be a night of daydreaming.

But hurry up and pull it down now, just my wrist is swollen as high as a pig's hoof.

Don't say that I can't do anything, even if I am capable, I don't have that kind of thought when it hurts.

Zhu Qi moved his body to the side, obviously to make room for Bai Tang Yu'er to sleep.

The others are still on their way, but the two of them can take a rest because they have a carriage.

But Bai Tang Yu'er woke Zhu Qi up on purpose, not to sleep.

I saw her holding an ointment in her hand, carefully holding the wrist of Zhu Qi's right hand, Zhu Qi grinned in pain, and just wanted to ask if she was good at medicine?
But when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he had been injured and poisoned earlier, and it was Bai Tang Yuer who met him and treated him.

It's not surprising that she knows medical skills.

While observing Zhu Qi's injury, Bai Tang Yu'er began to apply the ointment to Zhu Qi's injury.

Strange to say, as soon as the ointment was applied, the whole wrist felt very cool, and the pain suddenly became much smaller.

Looking at the ointment, Zhu Qi couldn't help asking:
"This ointment is so powerful, where can I buy it?"

Bai Tang Yu'er said with a smile:

"You can't buy it anywhere, only the secret medicine of my clan.

I took a look, and there should be no bone injuries. After applying this ointment, it shouldn't hurt too much tonight.

It's your right hand, after two days the swelling subsides, I have to fix it for you, just in case.

It is estimated that he will fully recover in half a month. "

After Bai Tang Yu'er finished speaking, she also finished applying the ointment to Zhu Qi, and put away the ointment, but she didn't see her sleeping.

Instead, she sat in the carriage and stared at Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi's old face was a little red when she saw it, and he couldn't help asking:
"What do you see me doing?"

"No matter what you say, you are also my great benefactor, look at you more, and remember the benefactor's appearance."

Bai Tang Yuer smiled and continued:

"But my mother said before, you Han scholars, you only talk about it, but it's really useless.

But today I saw you desperately, it's not like what my mother said. "

Zhu Qi went on to say:

"Now that you know it's not like that, you should have changed your mind about us Han people a lot, right?"

"Yeah, it's changed a lot."

Bai Tang Yu'er nodded her head seriously, then clapped her hands, turned over the carriage, took the position of the coachman, turned her head and said:
"It's more dangerous to drive at night. I won't be able to sleep tonight, but you can rest assured that I will call you as soon as there is anything."

It stands to reason that it is a bit inappropriate to ask a girl to help him watch the night or something.

But considering his current physical condition, Zhu Qi didn't say much.

After all, recover your body as soon as possible so that you won't be delayed.

He didn't say much, and lay down silently.

I didn't think about anything in my mind, just like that, I fell asleep...

After Zhu Qi fell asleep, Bai Tang Yu'er, who was sitting in front of her, secretly turned her head to look at Zhu Qi, and then sighed while holding the whip.

Holding his chin with both hands, looking at the moon leading the way in front of him, he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

------

Day two.

Zhu Qi woke up following the shaking carriage.

As soon as I woke up, I felt pain in my right hand, and the effect of the medicine seemed to have passed.

But when he looked at his right hand, he found that his right hand had subsided a lot.
I don't know if it's because of sleeping, or because of Bai Tang Yu'er's wound medicine, maybe it's both.

He sat up and looked out of the carriage.

The team is still advancing, but the surrounding environment is very different from what it has seen before.

There are still slightly rugged mountain roads around, and only one road in the middle is barely passable.

But unlike the large forests we saw before, this place has become a bit desolate.

There are few trees that can be seen in stretches, and more low shrubs.

As the altitude gets higher and higher, there will be more and more such shrubs.

While Zhu Qi was exercising, he saw Bai Tang Yu'er in front of him, leaning against the frame of the carriage, with his eyes closed, his head bobbing along with the carriage.

She was clearly asleep.

But sleeping in this position is definitely not comfortable.

The whole is not good, and it is easy to stiff neck.

With good intentions, Zhu Qi groped towards Bai Tang Yu'er with a short body, and put his left hand on Bai Tang Yu'er's shoulder, trying to shake her awake and let her sleep in the carriage.

But before he could sway, the carriage suddenly bumped onto the rock, and with a sudden sway, Bai Tang Yu'er's figure was unstable, and she fell towards Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi hurriedly raised his hands and placed them under her arms to stabilize her body.

Bai Tang Yu'er's whole body fell on Zhu Qi's body, her forehead rested on her chest, and she turned her face sideways, revealing a three-dimensional profile.

This girl is really good-looking in 360 degrees with no dead ends...

Zhu Qi looked at Bai Tang Yu'er's side face and couldn't help thinking this way.

In addition to being good-looking, Bai Tang Yu'er also smells delicious.

Women have natural body fragrance, but more fragrances are actually related to hormones.

This is also the scientific reason why Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder. Hormones are a very magical thing.

Even if you are covered in stinky sweat, as long as the other party really likes you, you will smell delicious.

Even if you are full of perfume and the other party doesn't like you, they still think you have an unpleasant smell.

Zhu Qi simply stopped calling Bai Tang Yu'er, and just dragged her into the carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage is transparent on both sides. If there is a window in the front, it is really difficult to operate.

Bai Tang Yu'er slept soundly, lying in the carriage without moving.

Zhu Qi didn't bother her either, and pulled over the quilt that was still warm with his own body temperature, and helped Bai Tang Yu'er cover it.

He bent over to the coachman's place, picked up the whip and looked at the old horse pulling the carriage and walking silently in front of him.

This old horse has reached the point where it doesn't need to be commanded and can lead the way by itself, so the whip in his hand seems superfluous.

Zhu Qi looked at the old horse in a daze, when a man from Uzbekistan riding a mule approached to work, and said with a smile:
"Brother Tang, are you awake? How is your injury?"

When Zhu Qi heard his address, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that he was pretending to be Tang Qi.

Quickly said:

"It's much better. Miss Yu'er helped me with the medicine before."

"That's good, when we get to Gaochang, I'll treat you to a drink!"

The Nausi Tibetan finished speaking with a smile, his face full of kindness.

No one talked to me yesterday, but today someone came over to say hello and buy me a drink.

Needless to say, I know that it must be my actions last night that made them respectful.

This plateau is the same as the grassland, and the people who respect it are the strong with love and righteousness.

Zhu Qi smiled and nodded, naturally he would not refuse.

Suddenly a gong sounded in front, and then Ma Guotou shouted:

"Everyone stop, there is a group of people in front of us blocking the road!"
