Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 140 This fighting is too comfortable
Zhu Qi suddenly became nervous, but fortunately the uncle asked with a serious expression in the next second:
"I heard that the son is also surnamed Tang, and I asked which branch the son's ancestors belonged to? Did you move to Yingtian Mansion within three generations?

To tell you the truth, the young master looks quite familiar, my surname is also Tang, my ancestral home is Bashu, I may have met him before. "

This uncle might be his prospective father-in-law in the future, Zhu Qi naturally put down his attitude immediately, and replied respectfully.

Naturally, it is impossible to have anything to do with the Tang family in Bashu. Originally, his identity was made up by nonsense.

Tang Xiaozu, Bai Tang Yu'er's father, nodded after hearing what Zhu Qi said, knowing that he didn't know him anymore, he exchanged some polite greetings and didn't say anything more.

Zhu Qi couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that he hadn't revealed anything, and then he heard the people in front of him start talking about their intentions.

The owner of this Chongshan village, surnamed Bai, named Dongfang, Bai Dongfang said that he and others came to find a girl, and they followed the girl all the way here, if Zhu Qi didn't suggest it, they hoped they could go upstairs to have a look.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Bai Dongfang explained that the girl was very good at lightness kung fu, and if she deliberately hid, it would be normal for Zhu Qi and others to find her.

It must be Bai Tang Yu'er, but Zhu Qi had already seen Bai Tang Yu'er left, and he had nothing to shame, so he asked Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu to search.

Originally, this house belonged to someone else, not my own.

Bai Dongfang didn't expect Zhu Qi to be so reasonable. After thanking him, he hurriedly led people up to search for Bai Tang Yu'er's whereabouts.

In the end, of course, they couldn't find it, and the other Li people who were guarding outside shook their heads, expressing that they didn't see Bai Tang Yu'er coming out.

Bai Dongfang and the others thanked Zhu Qi once more, and then left with the others.

On the way, Tang Xiaozu couldn't help but said to Bai Dongfang:
"Father-in-law, that young master just now doesn't look like an ordinary person."

Bai Dongfang nodded and said:

"That young master Qi Yu has an extraordinary temperament. The most important thing is that there are so many masters around him. Many old men just feel the breath, but they don't know where they are at all."

Tang Xiaozu also nodded, couldn't help worrying and said:

"Couldn't he be from the officialdom?"

Bai Dongfang shook his head uncertainly, and said:

"If you were really from the officialdom, you probably wouldn't come here to recruit relatives. I'm just a chieftain, and I don't have much power to speak of.

What's more, if it's really an official marriage, the elders will come. "

Tang Xiaozu nodded and said:
"It's true if you think about it, but it's too far away for Ying Tianfu to come here."

Bai Dongfang also nodded, and said:

"I think he is a well-informed person, and he didn't say anything, but his family is in Yingtian Mansion, and he recently went to Chengdu for business. After hearing about this, he admired the beauty of our family Yu'er, so he came here to compete."

Tang Xiaozu nodded, and the two of them no longer doubted anything, and a person not far away ran over to report, saying that the eldest lady had been found, and she just went out to get some air before she went back on her own.

Tang Xiaozu and Bai Dongfang hurried back.

And after they left, the content of the conversation between the two just now spread to Zhu Qi's side.

With so many masters around Zhu Qi, it is natural not to waste them.

He has been wondering why Bai Tang Yu'er's family is so well-behaved, and suddenly they want to have a competition to recruit relatives.

After all, Bai Tang Yu'er was only 16 years old, so she wasn't in a hurry to get married at all.

Now hearing the conversation between Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu, the master who came back, Zhu Qi became more and more convinced that there must be an unknown inside story behind this competition to recruit relatives.

And it is likely to be related to the Ming government, otherwise, Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu, who are so afraid of the background of the government, what are they doing to recruit relatives?
Could it be that they want to rebel and send Bai Tang Yu'er out in advance to keep them safe?
Thinking of this, Zhu Qi also frowned, but felt that the possibility was really not high. What kind of idea was this? Who would want to rebel?
What's more, Bai Dongfang was already the leader of the chieftain. The Ming Dynasty inherited the policy of the Yuan Dynasty, and the management of the chieftain was quite loose, with great autonomy.

It will take hundreds of years to change the policy of returning the native land to the natives. Bai Dongfang really has no reason to rebel.

I can't figure it out after thinking about it, so I can only put it aside for the time being.

As for how tomorrow's game will be, that's not something Zhu Qi needs to worry about.

To be honest, since he became King of the Liao Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qi can be regarded as understanding Zhao Min's mood in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

Obviously I don't know any martial arts, but there are a lot of martial arts masters around me who can use them at will, and I have the support of the imperial court wherever I go. This feeling, I almost want the martial arts people to say to me indignantly: "Lord Dog!"

However, the possibility of this sentence is not very high. Although Zhu Qi doesn't know the specific situation of Daming's martial arts, judging from the attitude of Lan Xian'er, a senior martial artist, towards himself, the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty.

Martial arts is not a dead-brained opposition to the government, not to mention that Zhu Qi has made so many contributions in foreign wars, he feels that he should still be very popular among the people.

No matter what, when Zhu Qi got up the next day as usual, Gao Jin respectfully handed over a list of participants in this competition and a report on the details of their families.

Good guy, the eight generations of ancestors have been investigated clearly.

After all, these people are all from famous families, and it won't be too much trouble to investigate them. It will be clear after a little inquiry.

They are all rich gentry or sons of martial arts families in Bashu and Central Plains. As for officials, there are really none.

After Zhu Qi finished his breakfast, he led a group of people to the agreed place to prepare for the competition.

The venue for the competition is in the large open space inside the round castle.

At this time, the open space was already full of people, it could be described as a sea of ​​people.

Bai Dongfang and several other elders appeared under the shed built in the open space ahead.

Rows of chairs are placed under the shed, and those who can sit there are all highly respected people in the Li nationality.

And the ten sons who participated in the competition, including Zhu Qi, soon came to the competition ring under the guidance of the Li people.

The rest of the young masters were looking at each other, only Zhu Qi didn't care.

And at this moment, Bai Dongfang stood up and loudly announced the rules of the competition.

There are mainly two competitions, one for fighting and one for fighting.

And when they heard that there was still fighting, many young masters showed embarrassing expressions on their faces.

Although poor in literature, rich in martial arts.

But the six arts of a gentleman are long gone from the Tang Dynasty, when Li Bai, the poet fairy, was a scholar and won the first place in the martial arts list.

It was almost lost in the Song Dynasty.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the ethos of literati practicing martial arts had long since disappeared.

Scholars don't even practice martial arts, let alone those children from rich families.

On the contrary, there are some people who go to the rivers and lakes, and those who practice martial arts account for the majority.

Bai Dongfang naturally took this into consideration, so he quickly continued:
"This martial battle is naturally not for you to compete with each other in martial arts, but to compare your endurance and tenacity.

The rules of martial arts are very simple. We Li people have been hunters in the jungle since childhood.

Within three hours, as long as the wild beasts can be hunted in the forest and brought back, it will be considered a pass. If no wild beasts can be brought back, the fighting will be considered a failure, and there is no need to participate in the subsequent literary fights. "

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, those young masters breathed a sigh of relief one by one.

It's just to go hunting, as long as they don't let them fight, the problem is not very big.

Anyway, most of them are subordinates and servants, are they afraid that they won't be able to catch their prey for three hours?

This is the dense forest of Bashu. There is nothing in the forest. If you are not lucky, you may encounter jackals, tigers and leopards.

But Bai Dongfang's next words made everyone think again.

"Because the test is for you yourself, you are not allowed to bring your subordinates and servants with you in this exam.

If found, it will be dealt with according to cheating!Don't take your chances, many of us are watching in the jungle.

On the one hand, it is to protect your safety, on the other hand, it is also to monitor you and prevent you from cheating.

If you understand everything, I declare that the fighting has officially begun! "

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, those sons and brothers all became nervous.

The servants below also quickly surrounded them.

Fortunately, some kung fu masters set off with bows and arrows.

And those who don't know kung fu are a bit difficult to deal with.

But this is just hunting, and it doesn't say that you must bring back any prey. Catching a rabbit is considered a pass.

But I believe that for those young masters who know nothing and are pampered, it is difficult to catch rabbits.

For example Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi was very sure, put himself in the jungle outside, let alone hunting, he couldn't even catch rabbits.

But it doesn't matter, there are so many masters behind them, all of them come and go without a trace.

These so-called warriors of the Li nationality, compared to those masters behind him, they are really nothing.

Sure enough, Gao Jin came over and whispered:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we have already made arrangements and have already gone to the dense forest to look for prey.

At that time, His Highness can just go for a stroll, or go a little further, and we will come to you. "

Zhu Qi asked:

"These warriors of the Li tribe..."

Gao Jin smiled and said:

"If they see the slightest clue, how can we wait for the Imperial Guard to protect His Highness?"

When Zhu Qi heard it, it was done.

Ever since, Zhu Qi was also unambiguous, took a bow and arrow, a bag of arrows, and pretended to go into the jungle.

When he left, his back was flabbergasted and his figure was heroic.

In the stands, Bai Tang Yuer looked at his sweetheart's extremely handsome back with a face full of joy.

She naturally knew that with Zhu Qi's energy, she was just going hunting in the jungle, and it would not be difficult for him at all.

As long as Wudou passes the customs smoothly, is Wendou still needless to say?
In Bai Tang Yu'er's mind, Zhu Qi was the celestial star descending from the sky, and Wen Dou was naturally no problem.

Bai Tang Yu'er's face was full of joy, and the woman next to her was her mother, Bai Shi.

Seeing Bai Tang Yuer's expression, Bai couldn't help asking:
"Yu'er, I thought you would not agree to recruiting a relative, but you agreed readily, and you didn't run away yesterday. Why are you so obedient? To be honest, are you planning something?"

Bai Tang Yu'er turned her legs up and said with a smile:

"Daughters are not too young, boys should get married when they grow up, girls should get married when they grow up, daughters also understand the principles of parents' orders and matchmaker's words.

Since my parents and grandfather are eager to marry me off, then I want to get married anyway, so it's better to marry off happily. "

Although Bai Tang Yu'er has said so, but Bai Shi really knows his daughter too well, how many truths there are in it, you can really think of it with your toes.

Bai Shi looked at those young masters strangely, wondering if it was Bai Tang Yu'er's sweetheart among them, right?

If this is the case, that young master can win, and Bai Tang Yu'er can marry rich and noble, and marry the person he likes, which is not a good thing.

Although Bai Shi thought this way in her heart, she didn't tell Bai Tang Yu'er about it.

On the other side, Zhu Qi came to the woods and wandered around.

After walking for nearly half an hour, he was actually walking around the jungle, and he didn't know exactly where he was. Anyway, there are definitely many martial arts masters around him, so Zhu Qina wasn't worried at all.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before there was movement from the front, and I saw a masked man wearing the clothes of the imperial guards in the dense forest flashing out very quickly, and then a paper ball and a bag of things were thrown on Zhu in front of Kai.

The masked man quickly left again.

Zhu Qi stepped forward and opened the ball of paper, which read:

"Your Highness, follow the trunk mark and walk less than 200 meters. It has been prepared for you."

Zhu Qiyou looked at the package, opened it, and found a pot of water and some desserts.

It happened that Zhu Qi was also a little hungry, so he ate the dessert and drank some water, and then he saw the mark on the tree trunk in front of him.

It was a small arrow.

Zhu Qi walked forward in the direction pointed by the arrow, and sure enough, he didn't go very far when he heard a slight sound.

Zhu Qi walked over to have a look, isn't it just a big wild boar!
But the wild boar was seriously injured, lying on the ground unable to move, there seemed to be no wounds on the outside, and there was no bleeding, and the mouth opened one by one, but it didn't make much noise.

Needless to say, he must have suffered serious internal injuries.

This wild boar still has a breath, the meaning is obvious, it's a full set of acting.

Zhu Qi raised his bow and arrow, and shot at the wild boar in front of him.

There was only a whoosh, but it missed.

Zhu Qi was a little embarrassed, looked around, wondering if anyone saw it.

But it doesn't matter, this wild boar is like this, what kind of waves can it make?

Zhu Qi raised his bow and arrow again.

I cum slowly.
