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

Chapter 778 Times have changed

"Fifth brother, half an hour has passed for a long time. Do we have to wait any longer?"

Zhu Xi looked at the sun that had moved far away in the sky, then looked at Zhuangzi who was still motionless, frowned and said. "Those two have been arrogant and domineering in the past. They have regarded themselves as our brothers' elder brothers since they were young. But I have been at odds with them for a long time."

"And now you haven't shown up after so long... Do you still want to fight to the death? Why don't we strike first!"

Zhu Su also raised his head and looked at the sky. After thinking for a while, he still shook his head and said, "No, although the Marquis of Ji'an and the Marquis of Yan'an are domineering, they are not without brains."

"If you fall into the hands of elder brother, you will lose some money and face. Handing over this slave trading business will not cost their lives. But if you use weapons against the Forbidden Army... then it will be a real rebellion."

"Although they are not as good as other martial generals, they are still princes now, and their families are big and powerful, so they don't have to engage in the business of beheading. Besides, depending on the size of the village, they can only hide a thousand people at most. The Marquis of Yan'an and No matter how bad the Marquis of Ji'an is, he was still a general who led troops and fought under our father's command in the past, and he will not attack the stone with an egg like this."

Zhu Su analyzed everything and felt that there was no possibility of Lu and Tang raising their flags to rebel.

After all, what is the purpose of the rebellion now? They have followed Lao Zhu for so many years, so they know what Lao Zhu is capable of... In this land of China, can they still find Lao Zhu's Wuzhi Mountain?

I just don’t know why, but there is a hint of worry that comes from nowhere...

"But if you don't take the initiative, you should take some precautions. There is nothing wrong with being careful." With this thought, Zhu Su called Gou'er and Di Meng to confirm the defense again.

Just as he was about to call someone to urge Lu and Tang, they saw the door of Zhuangzi opened with a creak, and then, many prisoners with their hands tied inside filed out. Most of these people have broad eyebrows and dark wood, and their descriptions are very different from those of the Central Plains people. It is obvious that they are all captives of foreign races.

"Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng are so bold, they actually hid so many foreigners near the outskirts of Beijing..." Even Zhu Su's eyes showed a bit of surprise. Foreign slaves kept coming out of the village gate. After walking for a long time, they were not all gone yet. At a rough look, there were already many more people than the thousand they had originally guessed.

What kind of Zhuangzi is this? It's clearly a concentration camp. Zhu Su thought to himself.

About three to four thousand people came out, and no more slaves came out of the village gate. A large number of foreign slaves gathered in a large area in the open space at the village gate. Even Zhu Su felt a little numb when he saw it: If these people were once warriors on the grassland who could ride horses and bend bows, these thousands of people would be enough to disturb the chickens and dogs of the Ming Dynasty.

"These are all the slaves I and I have hoarded. Your three highnesses, please check them." Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong said loudly as they stepped forward. "Alas, buying these people has cost a lot of property and connections in my two princely houses. Now I hand them over in the hope that the court will know the loyalty of the two of us..."

"You are so courageous, you have gathered so many people..." Zhu Fang frowned, turned his horse to meet them, and wanted to scold Lu and Tang.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhongheng suddenly raised his wrist, and a cold light suddenly appeared at the cuff of his sleeve, pointing directly at Zhu Ping. Zhu Ping was stunned. Lu Zhongheng's hand hidden in his sleeve had already pulled the trigger of the sleeve arrow.

"Second brother, be careful!"

Because of his uneasiness, Zhu Su was always wary of the two of them. Just now he saw Lu Zhongheng's hand always in his sleeve, and he became even more suspicious. When he saw Lu Zhongheng suddenly raising his hand, he reacted in a flash. He immediately raised his whip and whipped the war horse under Zhu Xiang's crotch. The horse felt pain and suddenly stood up. "咴lvlv!"

The upright war horse happened to block the path of the crossbow bolt. The war horse immediately fell to the ground with a scream, and Zhu Ping was knocked down by the war horse. However, after such a delay, the surrounding guards had already reacted and immediately stepped forward to surround Zhu Su and Zhu Fang.

"Protect His Highness!" the guards shouted one after another.

"Follow me to break through!" Although he failed to hurt Zhu Xi, the formation of the forbidden army was in chaos. Lu Zhongheng then roared, and the thousands of slaves shouted in unison, and actually broke free from the ropes on their hands, and then went their separate ways. He pulled out the steel knife from the clothes on his back and charged towards the Forbidden Army's formation to the west.

For a time, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng had already captured two horses with the help of their own soldiers. They hid their mail armor under their clothes, and the imperial army was already in chaos. This time they charged into battle with the aura of a brave general. They have been training this slave army for a long time, and the generals are also soldiers who have been loyal to them for many years. They can be said to be in command. Now they suddenly attack, but the offensive is like a rainbow, and they are about to penetrate the army formation where the Forbidden Army is.

"Son! How dare you call yourself a famous general! When the two of us were conquering the world, you were still peeing and mud..." Seeing that everything was as expected, Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong laughed wildly. Over the years, because they lost their military power, the two of them had received a lot of looks and criticism, and were considered a disgrace to military commanders.

In the past, Lan Yu and Mu Ying, who were far below them, were all respected by the people, but they were often criticized... That's all. Even the brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Su, who were just children, They are all called famous generals and are considered to be far superior to the Marquis of Ji'an and the Marquis of Yan'an. How can I bear this?

Now that they have planned to defeat the imperial army led by the Zhu brothers, Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng feel quite proud and proud.

Just let the world know who is the most famous general!

Seeing that they were about to break through the siege of the Forbidden Army, both Tang and Lu showed joy on their faces. Next, we only need to retreat to Qixia Ferry to rob the ship and head east to get rid of these people. Then he took those Western ships and sailed eastward to Fengmingzhou, claiming the territory as the king... From then on, he was called a loner and was no longer fettered.

Bang bang bang! A few sudden sounds.

Before the joy on Lu Zhongheng's face faded, the horse under his crotch suddenly neighed miserably, and then fell down without any warning, as if it had died suddenly.

Lu Zhongheng was shocked and wanted to jump on his horse and escape, but he didn't expect that he had been pampered over the years, his muscles had regenerated, and his movements were no longer as agile as before. The soles of his feet were actually entangled in the stirrups. With a sound of "Ah", Lu Zhongheng fell to the ground together with his horse.

"My leg! This prince's leg!" Lu Zhongheng screamed. The horse suddenly fell to death, but his left leg that was entangled in the stirrup was crushed and broken.

"After all, it's me, the Ming Dynasty's martial arts master, who only has this level. Do you think he can defeat us and others with his bravery?" What Lu Zhongheng heard the moment before he fell into coma was a rather disdainful laugh.

"Sure enough, you are no longer suitable for the battlefield. Times have changed long ago, Marquis Ji'an."
