Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Even now that she had become Concubine Yue, she still insisted on riding a horse and following the imperial carriage.

Zhu Youxiao rode his horse in the center of the team, and looked back from time to time to look at Lu'er, who was riding with Liu Yue, with resentment in his eyes.

He never expected that his beautiful plan would be ruined by this little girl.

If it weren't for her, I would be riding on the same horse with Liu Yue now.

What a wonderful feeling that must have been.

I sit in the back and hold the beauty on the horse;

Or the beauty sits behind me and holds me while I ride.

That inadvertent horse-shaking feeling;

Or the feeling of having a springy back.

That feeling is as beautiful as you can imagine.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao was unwilling and made a secret decision.

Next time we set out, I must make that little girl let go of Liu Yue and let me come!

Well, next time for sure!

He turned around and continued to whip his horse to gallop south.

The Jinyiwei have already cleared the way ahead.

Sun Kangwang followed by his side, ready to take orders at any time.

When they came out to inspect the disaster relief, they did not go sightseeing. Except for baggage and food, they all traveled on horseback.

Datong City is nearly eight hundred miles away from Taiyuan City.

The route chosen by Zhu Youxiao was:

He passed through Huairen, Mayi, Shuozhou, and then entered Taiyuan through Ningwu Pass, then went east to Yuanping, south to Xinzhou, and finally arrived at Taiyuan City.

On this journey to the west, Zhu Youxiao brought with him, in addition to thousands of Jinyiwei, a doctor and Xuanwu Lang.

Needless to say, the Jinyiwei, the doctor and the Xuanwulang have all been strictly trained in medical schools and military schools. When they are transferred to the army, riding and marching will be no problem for them.

Zhu Youxiao himself led the army to the north. After half a year of military service, his crotch was already covered with calluses. Marching on horseback was just a common occurrence for him.

Only Guo Yunhou, who was old and fearing that he could not bear it, had to sit in the carriage and stay at the end of the baggage train.

At this speed, we can reach Taiyuan City in three days at the earliest.

The team left Taiyuan City and headed south, stopping and starting from time to time.

On the road, they kept encountering disaster victims fleeing north. When they saw Zhu Youxiao's team passing by, they hid by the roadside in fear.

Zhu Youxiao felt very sad when he saw many of the victims were so thin that they were just skin and bones.

He had come to Taiyuan specially this time, not to bring relief food to protect the people along the way, so after giving them a small amount of food, he had to continue on his journey.

As we walked along, the further south we went and the closer we got to Taiyuan Prefecture, the drier the land along the road became.

By the evening, the team had passed Huairen, Mayi, Shuozhou and arrived at Ningwu Pass.

After a short stay overnight, we continued our journey early the next morning.

After walking a few miles east of Ningwu Pass, Zhu Youxiao's brows gradually furrowed.

The mountains here are all bald, the trees are all dead, and the land not far from the road is even drier than that in Datong Prefecture.

Looking around, the fields on both sides of the road seemed to be spread with countless black lightning.

That's cracked soil from excessive drought!

From time to time, there was a foul smell wafting around, entering the nose and smelling quite uncomfortable.

The sky was gloomy, with only a few crows circling overhead, making creepy cries from time to time.

"Gah! Huh!"

There was not a single disaster victim to be seen along the way.

Zhu Youxiao slowed down his horse and looked carefully, only to find that there were puddles of water mixed with mud in many places on both sides of the road.

Some of these water stains emit a fishy smell, while others emit a rotten smell.

There seemed to be traces of mopping on the road next to the water stains.

After walking a few hundred meters forward, he found that this phenomenon still existed. Suddenly he thought of something and his face turned cold.

"Sun Kangwang!"

"The subordinate is here!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at the ground and stared at him coldly.

"Why are there traces of mopping and sweeping on the ground along the way?"

Sun Kangwang felt as if a sharp knife was hanging over his head when he was stared at like that, and his scalp went numb.

He didn't dare to hide anything and could only tell the truth.

Chapter 391 Zhu Youxiao knew that he was wrong!

Faced with such questioning looks, Sun Kangwang jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee, and answered everything with his head down.

"Your Majesty, there are too many corpses along the way!"

"I asked people to do this because I was afraid of disturbing the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao became furious upon hearing this, and whipped Sun Kangwang on the back with a horsewhip.

The others couldn't help but shrink their necks when they saw this.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded for Sun Kangwang.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Lord Sun is also very loyal, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Youxiao turned his head, stared at him intently, and shouted angrily through gritted teeth.

"Old dog!"

"You also want to whitewash everything in front of me?"

"Why, have I never seen a mountain of corpses, or a sea of ​​blood?"

"You're trying to put me off by saying you're afraid of disturbing the emperor. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

As he said this, he whipped Wei Zhongxian hard.

Wei Zhongxian dared not hide. He endured the pain and took the whip. Then he fell to his knees on the ground and dared not say another word.

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, jumped on his horse, winked at Youtong beside him, and then rode away.

Yutong understood what he meant immediately and quickly called a team of Xuanwu soldiers to follow closely behind.

Zhu Youxiao was very angry!

He thought he could see the truth of the world, but unexpectedly, all he saw were pictures painted over by the Embroidered Uniform Guards!

He knew very well that the foul smell was the stench of a corpse!

Ever since we passed Ningwu Pass, this smell has been lingering around the road. One can imagine how many corpses there must be to leave a road of several miles in this state.

The snow-white warhorse carried him and galloped along the road.

Soon, Youtong and his men caught up with him and protected him firmly.

More than a hundred riders, raising a cloud of dust, left the main force far behind.

Listening to the sound of departing horses' hooves, Wei Zhongxian and Sun Kangwang looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Guo Yunhou, who was sitting in the baggage cart at the back, noticed something was wrong, so he ran over in a panic. When he found that Zhu Youxiao was missing, he asked hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Where is His Majesty?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointing to the cleared road.

"The Imperial Guards collected the bodies on the roadside ahead of time, which made His Majesty unhappy. He left ahead with Xuanwu Lang."

Guo Yunhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sun Kangwang with dissatisfaction and roared.

"The surname Sun!"

"You can't even do this, and you've revealed your true colors. You're really a competent commander!"

Before he finished speaking, he snatched the reins from Zhen Beiwang next to him and shouted at him.

"What are you standing there for? Help me get on the horse!"

Zhen Beiwang didn't react for a moment and subconsciously did what he said.

But it was not until Guo Yunhou rode away on horseback that he came to his senses.

He glanced at Guo Yunhou's back, then turned to look at Sun Kangwang.

"Commander-in-chief, is Minister Guo trying to save his life?"

Without waiting for Sun Kangwang to answer, Wei Zhongxian walked over, kicked him, and threatened him viciously.

"Are you stupid!"

"This old man owes the emperor so much money!"

"Do you dare to touch even a hair on his head?"

Looking north:........

Whenever the emperor traveled, there were cavalrymen of the Embroidered Uniform Guard roaming around within a few miles.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was not worried about Zhu Youxiao's safety.

What he was really worried about was that Zhu Youxiao could not bear the scene of starving people everywhere!

The reason why Guo Yunhou scolded Sun Kangwang was also due to this concern.

In their opinion, Zhu Youxiao seemed like a completely different person since he was summoned by Emperor Hongwu.

Although there were constant killings during this year, he was a soft-hearted emperor when facing the people.

Will the emperor's determination to revive the Ming Dynasty be dampened when faced with human tragedy?

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already galloped forward for more than a thousand meters. After turning a corner along the road, he finally saw the Jinyiwei who were still cleaning the road!

From a distance, I could only see corpses being dragged into the woods by the roadside and carefully covered with dry grass.

Then use the woods to sweep away the traces of dragging from the ground.

"boom!"

Suddenly a gunshot rang out, causing the Jinyiwei to immediately drop the bodies in their hands. They then drew out their Embroidered Spring Swords and looked around vigilantly.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao's figure, they immediately became at a loss, quickly sheathed their swords, and knelt down on the spot.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"

"Da da da......"

Zhu Youxiao rode his warhorse and slowly approached. After seeing the scene clearly, he was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.

He thought that since he had been on the battlefield and seen corpses, his psychological quality was good enough.

But after seeing these, he realized that he was wrong!

Not far from him was the shriveled body of a woman. She was naked and lying on her back. The bones of her left arm were exposed, looking white and creepy.

That's the result of missing a piece of meat!

The wound is flat and you can tell at a glance that it is a knife wound!

There was a pool of blood under the woman, and it seemed that the flesh on her buttocks was gone.

The woman was holding a baby tightly under her bony left arm.

But the baby had already stopped breathing.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned his gaze away.
