The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 155 Xu Da's Roast Goose

Xu Da snatched the food box from the hands of the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, without any hesitation, his mouth watering.

Zhu Xiong Ying was speechless. Xu Da's face changed so quickly. Just a moment ago he had a very unhappy expression, but when he saw the food box in Zhu Xiong Ying's hand, he instantly changed his expression.

Xu Da took a deep breath.

"Yes, it's just as good as my sister-in-law's cooking. It hasn't changed at all over the years!"

Looking at the exquisite food box, Xu Da guessed that it definitely contained roast goose, and it was roast goose made by Empress Ma herself.

Xu Miaoyun was very anxious when she saw this.

"Father, you're still not well. Taiyi said that roast goose is a 'trigger food' and you can't eat it!"

Upon hearing Xu Miaoyun's words, Xu Da's face immediately turned aggrieved.

"My dear daughter, everything else is fine, but this was made by Her Majesty the Empress herself. I've only ever eaten it three times in my life!"

"Look at this?"

Xu Miaoyun said angrily.

"That won't do either. No matter who sent it, you can't eat it!"

Xu Da looked at Zhu Xiong Ying, who was standing to the side, as if pleading for help.

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled.

"Fourth Aunt, please rest assured. Before I came, I asked the imperial physician. Although roast goose is considered a 'heating' food, eating it occasionally is fine. This time, I specially invited Director Zhang from the Imperial Hospital. With Director Zhang here, there shouldn't be any problems!"

The crowd was skeptical when they heard this.

Xu Da was extremely satisfied and couldn't wait to open the food box and stuff the still-steaming goose meat directly into his mouth.

When Xu Miaoyun heard Zhu Xiong Ying call her Fourth Aunt, her face immediately turned red, and she glared at Zhu Xiong Ying fiercely.

"Hmph, go ahead and side with him then, I'm ignoring you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xu Da and Zhu Xiong Ying were sharing the roast goose here.

Xu Da spat out a bone and asked.

"This incident has caused quite a stir. Have you figured out how to handle it?"

"Let me tell you, you little brat, I've placed the entire Wei State Duke's mansion on your shoulders. Don't tell me you didn't think anything of it!"

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, Duke of Wei, I've already made arrangements for this matter. It's just that many of the troops in the north will need to be transferred to other places!"

Duke Xu Da of Wei looked at the northerner with a very complicated expression.

"I had expected this day to come. The Northern Yuan has been much more stable lately, and they probably won't be heading south anytime soon!"

"The north is relatively stable for the time being. Many of the older guys in the army are no longer up to the task and it's time to give their positions to the newcomers!"

Xu Da's expression was complicated. Many of these people were veterans who had followed him in conquering the country, and now it was time for them to leave the army.

After Zhu Xiong Ying left, the 47 guards of the North were mobilized, and the Western Depot, based on the manpower of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Zhu Xiong Ying, began to arrest people everywhere.

Suddenly, all the provincial administrations in the north were in chaos, and impeachment memorials flew to Yingtian Prefecture like snowflakes.

Zhu Xiong Ying looked at these memorials but paid them no heed. Many of these people had connections with the Scouts and Cavalry Division. Now that the Scouts and Cavalry Division had just been put on the defensive, many of these people jumped out. It was truly ridiculous.

Outside Yingtian Prefecture, several scouts escorted Boyalunhai as he fled to other places.

Once the group had escaped the pursuit of the Imperial Guards, the leader breathed a sigh of relief.

Bo Yalun Haibie, standing to the side, was extremely puzzled. "What exactly happened? Why is the Ming Dynasty so openly arresting scouts and military officers?"

The leader shook his head.

"I don't know where these people got their information. Yingtian Prefecture is already under lockdown. Staying here is too dangerous. Let's leave!"

Upon hearing this, Boyarun Hai became anxious.

"What about Auntie?"

Since arriving in Yingtian Prefecture, Boyalunhaibie and Minmin Timur have been separated.

During this time, he tried every means to sneak into Zhu Xiong Ying's residence, but after some investigation, he learned that Zhu Xiong Ying had always lived in the palace and rarely returned to the East Palace.

As for appearing outside, that was even more impossible, and that was why he had never been able to come up with a suitable solution.

Not long ago, she received advance notice that the Embroidered Uniform Guard and a mysterious force were besieging their Scout Division.

For safety reasons, they escaped beforehand, but their men also suffered heavy losses.

Now that he has escaped, his aunt has infiltrated the Prince of Qin's mansion. What should he do if something happens to her?

The leader, with a complicated expression, sighed deeply.

"Now we can only leave it to fate!"

At this moment, several spies who had been sent out ran back.

"Boss, our men are back! The entire Ming army in the north has been mobilized. It seems they knew our hiding place all along. Now, from Jiangnan Province all the way to Dadu in the north, there are Ming troops everywhere!"

"I'm afraid it will be harder for us to go back than to climb to heaven!"

The leader's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

When has the Scouts and Military Command ever been targeted like this before, given how long it has been established?
Now the Ming Dynasty has even mobilized its army, which clearly means they are determined to achieve their goal and will not give up until they succeed.

"Princess, we can't go back north, so why don't we take this opportunity to head south?"

"There is also the Liang Prince's Mansion in Yunnan. The Liang Prince commands an army of 100,000. Perhaps there is still a possibility of returning north from that place!"

Bo Yalunhai shook his head.

"Let's not even think about Prince Liang. His relationship with my father has never been good. Moreover, when our Great Yuan Dynasty was in trouble, Prince Liang held onto his military power and had no intention of going north to provide support. I'm afraid Prince Liang has his own ideas now, and going to his place would probably cause trouble for my father!"

The leader sighed.

"But there's nowhere else to go besides there. We can only head south, but we have no foothold in the south. It will probably be even more dangerous then!"

Bo Yalunhai shook his head.

"No, we're going south!"

"Although we have no roots in the south, not many people know us either. This is an opportunity!"

"As long as we head south and blend in with the ordinary people, it will be harder for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to find us than to climb to heaven!"

"Moreover, Emperor Zhu is currently in Fengyang Prefecture. If we head south now, we might find an opportunity to kill him!"

The leader smiled bitterly to himself upon hearing this.

The skilled assassins around Zhu Yuanzhang were not so easily driven to suicide; just look at the assassination attempt on Zhu Xiong Ying.

Their scouts' arrangements over the past few decades were almost completely uprooted.

I'm planning to take action against Zhu Yuanzhang, but I'm afraid they'll be gone before they even get close to him.
