Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 777 Give it a try

Zhu Su looked ugly. To be fair, whether those merchants going overseas had armed forces was indeed a blind spot in the Ming Dynasty's foreign expansion policy. Although the Ming Dynasty's military generals were far more elite than those of foreign countries, since they encouraged merchants to expand overseas, they naturally could not control those merchants' efforts to arm themselves and protect their own safety.

However, this is not an issue that should be discussed at this time. Zhu Su looked grim and said: "Even so, this is not the reason for you to wait and gather slave soldiers around the capital."

"If you think it's not a big deal, let the imperial army search the village up and down. If it's not a big deal, then you can be cleared... But if there are really many soldiers and horses hidden in the village, what kind of crime is that? Do you know?"

"I dare to enter your village. Do you dare to let the guards outside come in and search?"

"..." Lu Zhongheng looked ugly, and he and Tang Shengzong looked at each other. If they dare, there are ghosts. There are at least thousands of men in this village that they have hoarded, and they have even equipped them with weapons through many ways... If these slaves are found, are they used as slaves for trade or as slaves? Who can tell clearly about the private soldiers who came to rebel?

If it weren't for something important, they wouldn't personally guard this village.

"...Two brothers, please stop." Seeing that they were showing some fear, Zhu Su changed his tone and persuaded each other softly: "You two have the ability to follow the dragon, and they were also valued by my father in the past. My dear general, the big mistake has not yet been made. If you can find your way back, I, the Zhu family, will never make things difficult for you."

"But if you break a taboo...how is that different from seeking death? Is it worth sacrificing your life and your past glory for some yellow and white things?"

"If you can hand over the former slaves in the village and follow us to the capital to find the prince and eldest brother to plead guilty, we are willing to protect the safety of our two brothers in front of our father."

"Ouyang Lun was ignorant and greedy for money, and he almost trapped me. The prince and elder brother couldn't bear to kill him... This matter is big or small. The reason why I came here before my father returned to Beijing was because I wanted to catch him before he found out about it. Before, let’s make a final conclusion about this beforehand!”

"You have already made a wrong step before. You should know that sometimes you make a wrong step and regret it endlessly! Do you want to make a wrong step again?"

Zhu Su was good at seducing people, and Lu and Tang seemed to be touched on their faces. The scene fell into silence for a while. After a long time, Tang Shengzong said: "Your Highness, fifth, please allow my brother to think quietly..."

"There will be an answer within the sunset...how?"

"...Okay." Zhu Su thought for a while and finally nodded. This prisoner of Zhuangzi was probably obtained by the two princes from all over the country after spending a lot of effort and money. Naturally, it would not be an easy decision to let go of him at once.

Zhu Su left Zhuangzi, and only Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng were left in the hall. The two of them didn't speak, but the expressions on their faces changed, sometimes fiercely, sometimes hesitantly, looking very confused.

"...Old Tang, do you really plan to hand over all the slaves in Zhuangzi to them?" Lu Zhongheng said.

"Lao Lu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several other Highnesses have mobilized the imperial army. I'm afraid this matter is no longer up to us." Tang Shengzong said, his face full of pain. "Damn it, I thought that by dragging Ouyang Lun into the trap, even if the superiors find out in the future, there will still be room for change..."

"Who knew that Ouyang Lun was such a loser that his highnesses would follow the clues and find us... He could even pass the Jinshi examination and marry a princess! Bah, what a waste!"

"...Then we will deliver the goods obediently like this?" Lu Zhongheng looked unwilling. "Let's not talk about how difficult it is to collect these slaves from the north. Your family and I have very few connections in the military. In order to buy these slaves, we almost used the only old faces we have left. They're all sold out." "How much effort did we put into training these thieves? We bought this remote village, quietly trained and trained them in this village, and finally managed to train all of them. The obedience and obedience have served us well, but now, when Zhu Lao Si and Zhu Lao Wu come, they have to hand it over again... Then what has become of our two families? Where should we put this face? "

"...Oh, who says it's not the case." Thinking of the hardships of doing this business, Tang Shengzong also looked depressed. "But now...what can we do? Are we really waiting for the imperial army to break into the courtyard?"

Although the two of them were wildly disobedient, they were once considered good generals. Naturally, they knew that the rabble they bought could never be a match for the elite Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army.

Lu Zhongheng used to get involved with Hu Weiyong, and Hu Weiyong fell due to Zhu Su's plot. He had a lot of resentment towards Zhu Su at that time, and he was even more unwilling to think about surrendering to Zhu Su now. He paced back and forth in the hall several times with a sad face, then suddenly turned to Tang Shengzong and said, "How about... we break out of the encirclement?"

"Breakout?" Tang Shengzong was stunned and looked at Lu Zhongheng in shock.

"Although the Forbidden Army is elite, it is not impossible for us to break through," Lu Zhongheng said. The more he talked, the clearer the idea became in his mind. "From what Zhu Su said just now, I'm afraid they don't actually know what we are trying to do by gathering these slaves."

"Still thought we just wanted to do the slave trade and earn some money."

"In this case, if we take people out of the village to hand over the enemy under false pretenses, and then suddenly attack the three brothers, the five thousand forbidden troops will be unprepared, and the battle will be in chaos. We can take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and take the road to the east."

"Those merchants and red-haired barbarians in the east have a lot of contact with us. If we borrow a boat from them, will they dare not let us go?" Lu Zhongheng said fiercely.

"Are you crazy?" Tang Shengzong looked shocked. "Our family... are all in the capital. If the Ming Dynasty turns against them... what will they do?"

"Why should a man worry about not having a wife? Why not have children... You and I are strong and healthy, so why worry about having no heirs?" Lu Zhongheng's eyes began to flash with a fierce light. "We are all people who have come here to lick blood. Those red-haired barbarians also said, how vast is Fengmingzhou? How many people does Zhang Hetiexuan's fleet have? They all circled such a large area. territory."

"If you and I arrive at Fengming Continent... and we are alone, wouldn't it be more satisfying than being stared at by Jin Yiwei in Yingtian Mansion every day?"

When it came to being called a loner, Tang Shengzong's eyes suddenly lit up. Compared with his power, his wife, children, and family property seemed to be insignificant again. He lowered his head and thought for a while, finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "It's my fault, do it!"

"Even Fei Ju, I'm afraid he will be granted the title of Duke this time when he returns to Beijing. Your family and I used to have much more merit than they did, but now we have become a laughing stock... Instead of being stabbed in the back every day, it is better to let go. Give it a fucking shot!"

"Even the three young boys from the Zhu family dare to ride on our necks today... We should let them know what it means to lead an army in war!"
