Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 135: Meeting an opponent in chess, Yuanting officials!

Luanzhou.

Snow is flying all over the sky, and snowflakes the size of fingernails are floating in beautiful trajectories and falling slowly.

There are no pedestrians on the road.

Two people and two horses were driving through the snow.

The man in brocade clothes at the head would hold up the wine bag and take a few sips from time to time...

"The north wind blows and the white grass breaks, and the sky is full of snow in August."

"The general is wearing jade tent and mink clothes, holding a wine glass and watching the falling snow."

Every time the man in brocade takes a sip, he sings a few lines impromptu.

The horse riding boy beside him looked around carefully and furtively, and reminded in a low voice, "Sir, this is the Ming Realm, don't be so ostentatious."

The man who was called an adult took a sip and said with a smile: "This is the least likely to be suspected. What do you know?"

Then he sang loudly and boldly, "The cold light of thousands of miles creates snow, and the dawn on three sides creates dangerous signals!"

Maybe the voice is too high.

In the nearby forest, more than a dozen pheasants were frightened and flew away.

Flapping its wings, it disturbed the snowflakes in the sky and flew into the sky.

The man in brocade's eyes lit up.

He threw the wine bag to the young man and picked up the horse's belt.

There is a bow and an arrow pot hidden underneath.

His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, he drew out three arrows, opened his bow and nocked the arrows, and raised his arms to aim at the pheasant that was flying away.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The moment he released his fingers, three arrows shot out.

The man in brocade didn't check to see if he had shot the pheasant, but stared sharply at the fork in the road ahead.

There are three more arrows shot from the fork in front.

The forest obscured it, so I couldn't see who it was.

But even on the grassland, he could be proud of his archery skills, which were on par with him.

He was honored as a warrior!

Snap...

The pheasants that were shot fell one after another at the intersection of the two roads.

The man in brocade didn't even look at it. He held the bow in one hand and put the other hand on the arrow pot again.

"Fourth brother, it's shot! It's shot!"

The sound of excited surprise came from the branch road behind the forest, from far to near.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a young man whose riding skills were so bad that it was impossible to look directly at him, sitting awkwardly on the saddle, holding the horse's neck tightly with both hands, and rushed out of the fork in the road.

When stumbling off the horse.

He also fell hard and stuffed his mouth full of snow.

puff!

The boy next to the man in brocade was amused and laughed in a low voice, "This riding skill is terrible..."

Before the boy could finish speaking, the man in robes glared sternly.

Then, he suddenly turned his head.

he……

Smell danger!

I smell a similar smell!

A handsome young man came out slowly on horseback holding a bow. The bow in his hand was a three-stone hard bow just like him!

Behind him were several young men on horseback.

These young people are just like the young people with mouths full of snow.

His riding skills are so bad that I can't bear to look at them.

With a quick glance, he could determine that the only real threat to him was the young man holding a bow.

This young man's archery skills rivaled his own!

The man in brocade clothes looked at him at the same time.

Zhu Di was also sizing up the man in brocade.

When the convoy arrived in Luanzhou, it started snowing.

The snow had just begun to fall, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground. In addition, the temperature was not low enough. After the snow fell to the ground, it melted a little, making the road very slippery.

It is very difficult to take action.

On the contrary, it is not as thick as the snow.

So just stopped and rested.

No one in the village, except him, had ever seen such heavy snow in the north.

Several young people were even more excited and encouraged him to go out hunting.

It's okay, if you can get some game, I can give everyone a toothpaste.

When I heard poetry being recited just now, I thought I had met a high-spirited scholar.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, this 'crazy birth' would give him a huge surprise.

"My little brother is good at archery!" The man in brocade clasped his fists and praised, interrupting Zhu Di's thoughts.

Zhu Di also cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother's archery skills are also very good. Don't you know your name?"

"Zhang Pu, a man with a long bow and a return to his original nature, is from Zhangjiacun, Luannan." The man in brocade gave his name.

"I wonder where you are from, little brother? Your accent doesn't sound like us northerners."

Zhu Di smiled and clasped his fists, "Jiang Ning Zhu Silang. New"

The man in brocade clothes took the lead to put away the stiff bow again, shook the horse's reins, approached, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhu is from Jiangning, why are you here in Luanzhou?"

"The imperial court called for servicemen and asked us to send a batch of grain, grass and ordnance to the outside of the pass." Zhu Di drew back his bow and explained with a smile: "While passing through Luanzhou, it suddenly snowed, so we took a break in front of us. We have never seen such a huge storm. of snow…”

"I understand, I understand." Zhang Pu smiled and expressed understanding.

He raised his hand and pointed at the six pheasants on the ground, "Since Brother Zhu and the villagers have traveled thousands of miles to transport grain and grass for the imperial court, my three pheasants have the right to support the imperial court and be given to Brother Zhu."

"Then you're welcome." Zhu Di clasped his fists in thanks.

The young man in the village took the pheasant and returned the three arrows belonging to Zhang Pu.

Zhu Di clasped his fists and said goodbye: "Brother Zhang, say goodbye."

‘How did your parents teach you? I gave you three pheasants. Shouldn’t you ask me to go drinking with you? ’

Zhang Pu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhu Di didn't know Zhang Pu's heart.

If you know it, you will definitely laugh and sneer: My father’s name is Zhu Yuanzhang! I learned this all from him!

"Brother Zhu, I have wine here." Seeing that Zhu Di had reined in his horse and was about to leave, Zhang Pu hurriedly raised the wine bag and shook it, "Brother Zhu is the only person I have met who is good at archery. When we meet an opponent in chess, we cherish each other and treat each other with Zhu." Brothers, would you like to have a drink together?"

Zhu Di was embarrassed to laugh, "I actually wanted to invite Brother Zhang, but seeing that Brother Zhang is dressed and talking, we are just a group of villagers, and we are worried about Brother Zhang..."

new

If I believed your nonsense, I would be a fool!

Zhang Pu cursed.

These young people were ordinary villagers, he believed.

But Zhu Silang is definitely not!

Although he is dressed like a countryman.

But no matter how he talks, or whether he makes a bow with three stones and shoots three arrows in succession, he is not a villager!

"Although my family is rich, I don't pay much attention to making friends. I only care about whether we are compatible with each other. Brother Zhu and I are very compatible."

Everyone had said that, what else could Zhu Di say, and invited with a smile: "We will camp in front..."

The group returned to camp.

Zhu Neng, who was warming himself by the fire in the distance, glanced at Zhu Di and brought a stranger back, and couldn't help frowning, "How can this Zhu Silang bring a stranger back?"

Qiu Fu roasted a steamed bun on the fire and said with a smile: "It's okay, there are no secrets in our march. Can Yuan's meticulous work can calculate how many people we have and how much food we have by just looking at the roadside." "

Zhu Neng was actually worried about Zhu Di's plan to raise bandits.

Watching Zhu Di and the others start to deal with the pheasants.

Zhu Neng glanced at him and said, "Qianhu, what's good about the grilled buns? Save your stomach and go to Zhu Silang's place later to eat pheasant meat and drink chicken soup!"

Qiu Fu looked at the lively scene over there, and then looked at the baked buns in his hands, and suddenly they no longer smelled good.

"Yes, keep your belly and eat his Zhu Silang's food!"

The camp in Tuqiao Village was built in a circle with horse-drawn carriages, with some branches draped over it and a few rags laid out to keep out the snow.

Zhu Di went outside to discuss with Uncle Eighth and the others how to handle and cook the six pheasants.

Only Zhang Pu and his entourage were left in the camp.

The attendant looked at the guard soldiers walking opposite and leaned into Zhang Pu's ear, "Sir, you are an old man eating arsenic! What is your identity? If you are discovered and someone kidnaps you, it will be a great achievement. You can change your defense." Guard troops and horses, a team of laborers transporting grain and grass, this doesn’t have any useful information!”

"We still have to rush to the outside of the pass to mobilize the horse bandits outside the pass and the imperial soldiers and horses scattered in various places. Taking advantage of the coming winter, the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses cannot adapt to launch a winter counterattack."

"This is related to your status in the royal court, my lord."

Zhang Pu looked outside, smiled and whispered: "Next, call me Master, not only will I drink with Zhu Silang here, but I will also accompany them out of seclusion."

"If we can kidnap Zhu Silang to the grassland, your master and I will be even more powerful."

"If only..."

After saying that, when he saw Zhu Di turning around and turning back, he immediately stopped the topic and ordered: "You also go and help."

The entourage went out and Zhu Di walked in.

Make some small talk.

Zhang Pu asked tentatively: "If I don't hide it from Brother Zhu, the eldest brother will also be released from seclusion this time."

"When Can Yuan collapsed and retreated outside the pass, he took my uncle's family and took him away."

"I am taking advantage of my free time in winter to leave the customs this time. I just want to try my luck and look for my uncle's family. However, it is dangerous outside the customs. I want to travel together with you. Is it possible?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Pu in surprise and shook his head in embarrassment, "I can't make the decision. Brother Zhang has to consult the two thousand households."

"What are you asking us for?"

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Di turned his head. Two big enemies stood outside with smiles on their faces.

You know it without asking.

You are so shameless that you come here to eat!

Invite two people in.

After introducing each other to both parties.

Zhu Neng squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Pu, "Mr. Zhang goes out and carries a three-stone hard bow with him?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di lowered his head and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

At this moment, all Zhang Pu's energy was focused on Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, and Zhu Di lowered his head and smiled vaguely, so he didn't notice.

He hurriedly explained: "I have loved wielding swords and guns since I was a child. During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, the surrounding area was not peaceful, so my father spent some money and got this bow for me through connections."

"On weekdays, I just play around at home."

"No, this time I am leaving the country to find my relatives. I was worried about the safety on the road, so I took her with me quietly."

"I hope you two adults will be accommodating. I promise that after returning from outside the customs, you will definitely hand in your bow when passing through Shanhaiguan!"

"Also, this is my scholar certificate. Although it was passed during the Yuan Dynasty, it has been stamped and recognized by this dynasty!"

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng looked at each other after seeing the scholar's certificate.

In fact, they are just deceiving each other.

It has only been nine years since the world returned to peace.

In the late Yuan Dynasty, it was very common for wealthy families to collect weapons.

This Zhang Pu acted very panicked, not pretending.

What's more, the other party is still a scholar recognized by this dynasty.

"Two Qianhu adults, I wonder if I can go with you?" Zhang Pu asked cautiously.

Qiu Fu pondered for a moment and glanced at Zhu Di, "You can go with us, but while you are with Zhu Silang, your arrow pot must be handed over to Tuqiao Village for safekeeping."

Zhang Pu looked at Zhu Di and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, absolutely yes, you can just give the bow to Brother Zhu."

After the test, the few people chatted more enthusiastically.

Zhang Pu was born in the north and knew the grassland people better.

Introduce the grassland people and Yuan soldiers to three people in detail...

Ta-ta-ta...

"Qianhu Qiufu, Qianhu Qiufu takes the order!"

Just when the smell of meat came from outside, the sound of rapid horse hooves came along with shouts.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng looked at each other.

Zhu Neng was surprised and guessed: "Is it because of the Dezhou ticket that the imperial court responded so quickly?"

With that said, the two hurriedly got up and walked outside the tent.

Zhang Pu saw Zhu Di sitting still, and his heart was filled with curiosity, but he could only endure it. While drinking, he glanced at Zhu Di with his peripheral vision, "This Zhu Silang has such a calm mind. Everyone outside is watching the fun." Why doesn't he go? ’

‘If he goes, depending on his relationship with Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, he might be able to enter their military tent, and I can follow him and listen. ’
