Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 784 Brother Zezhen, you just went like this
Three days later, the autumn air is crisp and the wind is light and the clouds are calm.

Imperial Garden in the western suburbs of the capital.Dozens of strong men from Fusi of Jinyiwei South Town followed Qianhusuo, surrounded by Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, who was dressed in military uniform, and galloped on the barren grass of the imperial garden.

He Zezhen was dressed in short clothes, holding a bow and arrow, and stood beside Zhu Changluo.

The imperial garden is where the members of the royal family go hunting and entertaining, with a radius of five miles, it is full of barren grassland.Only the easternmost side has a huge birch forest.

A hare ran past Zhu Changluo.He Zezhen bent his bow and nocked his arrow.But Zhu Changluo stopped him: "Brother Zezhen, you can see that the hare's belly is slightly swollen. It must be pregnant with a baby rabbit. Let's let it go."

Zhu Changluo was very much like his grandfather, Emperor Longqing.The character is weak and honest.

He Zezhen had no choice but to put down the bow and arrow in his hand when he heard the words.

A soft-hearted hunter cannot harvest much prey.After hunting for a long time, the two only shot a wild pheasant.

At noon, the accompanying guards in brocade clothes shaved the wild pheasant's hair, put it on a wooden stick, and roasted it over a fire.

Zhu Changluo and He Zezhen sat on the ground, waiting to share this fragrant roast pheasant.

Zhu Changluo asked: "Brother Zezhen, when will you actually join Jinyiwei as an errand?"

He Zezhen's aunt Zhu Xiang is the emperor's sister of Emperor Wanli.In this way, Zhu Changluo and He Zezhen are related to the emperor.Therefore, 16-year-old Zhu Changluo called 17-year-old He Zezhen "Brother Zezhen".

He Zezhen had an indifferent expression on his face: "After entering Jinyiwei, there will be countless more bosses out of thin air to take care of me. I want to play in the capital for a few more years."

Zhu Changluo sighed: "I really envy Brother Zezhen. There are some things you can do by yourself. Although I am the eldest son of the emperor, I can't be the master of everything. When I am in the palace, even when I am eating Which dishes to eat and how many chopsticks to eat are all determined by the servants of Shangshan Supervisor."

He Zezhen heard the words, but kept silent.Although he has a wild and unruly personality, he is not a fool.He knew that now he could not interrupt and make unreasonable comments on the affairs of the palace.Grandfather He Liu often warned him: Sickness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth.

The wrestlers finally roasted the wild pheasant.Zhu Changluo and He Zezhen divided and ate, their mouths were full of greasy food.

He Zezhen said while eating, "Mmm, it's really delicious!"

All things are born with ingenious good fortune.For example, such things as mother and child connecting hearts are very miraculous.

Zhu Changluo was eating lunch in the Royal Garden.In Xianlan Garden, Concubine Gong was embroidering a silk handkerchief.

Suddenly, the embroidery needle held by Concubine Gong's right hand stuck on the thumb of her left hand, oozing bright red blood.

Concubine Gong's heart skipped a beat: This is not a good omen.

Western Suburb Royal Garden.

Zhu Changluo and He Zezhen, the two young men, finished their lunch and lay on the dry grass beside a small river in the imperial garden, basking in the sun comfortably.

He Zezhen burped: "Your Royal Highness, I heard from Commander Wang of Jinyiwei that there are wild wolves in the imperial garden. I wonder if we can hunt wild wolves in the afternoon. I might as well show it off in front of my grandfather."

Zhu Changluo said: "I've also heard that there are wild wolves in the royal garden."

He Zezhen stood up, picked up a stone, and threw it into the river.The stone bounced three times on the river, making three floats.

Zhu Changluo said: "Brother Zezhen has a good technique."

He Zezhen asked: "Does His Royal Highness, the eldest son, want to learn how to swim? I can teach you."

Zhu Changluo shook his head: "Forget it. If the people in Shudeyuan know that I practice this kind of trick, they will speak ill of me in front of my father again."

Shude Courtyard is exactly the palace courtyard where Concubine Zheng Gui lived.Poor Zhu Changluo is only 16 years old, so he must always be on guard against open and dark arrows from Shudeyuan.In the palace, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds.

The two rested for a while, got on their horses, and continued hunting.

Walking to the birch forest on the east side of the imperial garden, suddenly, a wild wolf rushed out from nowhere.

He Zezhen was overjoyed: "The eldest son of the emperor! Wild wolf!"

Zhu Changluo bent his bow and set up an arrow, but the shot went askew.The wild wolf took three steps and made two steps, and rushed into the birch forest.

Riding a horse is inconvenient in the birch forest.Zhu Changluo and He Zezhen got off their horses and entered the birch forest with their bows and arrows in their hands.

Dozens of guards in brocade clothes also got off their horses.Followed the two into the woods, searching for traces of wild wolves.

The Jinyi guards hunted with the eldest son of the emperor. They could not shoot their prey with bows and arrows, which would inevitably steal the limelight from the eldest son of the emperor.Therefore, all warriors did not carry long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, crossbows, and firecrackers.Each person is only equipped with a waist knife.

Zhu Changluo said to He Zezhen: "I seem to have seen the wild wolf go west just now. Let's search west."

He Zezhen nodded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the eldest son."

Walking to the depths of the birch forest, a big thing happened!
Zhu Changluo and He Zezhen were holding bows and arrows, walking forward side by side.Dozens of wrestlers followed closely behind.Suddenly, out of a pile of dead leaves under a birch tree a hundred steps away from the two of them, a burly man with a black veil popped out!
The big man held a strange weapon in his hand.It looks like a crossbow, but it is different from ordinary crossbows.

The big man pulled the mechanism on the weapon. "Swish, swish, search!" In an instant, twenty short crossbow arrows flew towards the body of the eldest son of the emperor!

It's too late, so fast!When He Zezhen saw the assassin appearing out of nowhere, he didn't even look at the sole of his foot, and tripped over a stone on the ground with his right foot!He lost his balance, and staggered just in front of the eldest son of the emperor!

"Puff puff!". More than 20 crossbow arrows all hit He Zezhen's body!He Zezhen fell to the ground in an instant, unconscious!
Behind him, Deputy Qianhu of Nanzhen Fusi shouted: "No! There are assassins!"

Dozens of wrestlers drew their waist knives and rushed towards the assassin.However, the two sides are separated by a hundred steps, how can the wrestlers catch up with him?
The Deputy Qianhu of Nanzhen Fusi is none other than someone else.It was He Chuan, the grandson of the Thirteenth Taibao He Er during the Jiajing period.This He Chuan was calm.He took out a cloud-piercing arrow from the leather pouch at his waist, and after it was fired, the cloud-piercing arrow went straight into the sky.The whistle attached to the Cloud Piercer made a sharp whistle.

This is He Chuan sending a signal to the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion guarding the Royal Garden!The eldest son of the emperor was assassinated, you immediately block the Royal Garden!Don't let the assassin go!

Around the Royal Garden, there are [-] soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion stationed.The general who led the army heard the whistling sound of the piercing arrow, and knew that something had happened, and immediately dispatched all the soldiers to seal off the imperial garden.

The words are divided into two ends.Let's say that He Zezhen was hit by more than 20 crossbow arrows and fainted on the ground.Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, hugged him quickly, and cried loudly: "My brother Zezhen! In order to save my life, you gave up your life to block the arrows in the back for me! Alas! You just went like this, how can I face you in the future?" His grandfather, He Liu!"

"cough!"

Suddenly, Zhu Changluo heard a cough.This cough was actually made by He Zezhen.

He Zezhen forced his eyes open and said, "The eldest son of the emperor, it hurts, it hurts me to death!"

Zhu Changluo fixed his eyes and saw that He Zezhen's coat had been shot to pieces by more than 20 crossbow arrows.Behind his coat, there was a layer of silver soft armor, which was intact. Although more than 20 crossbow arrows hit his body, they did not penetrate this layer of soft armor.

He Zezhen fainted just now, not because of being hit by an arrow.It was because of the strength of more than 20 crossbow arrows that shocked his internal organs!
