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

Chapter 813 is truly a pipe dream.
"Rest assured, Father, I will certainly not fail in my mission!" Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes were firm, and his tone was full of confidence.

That evening, Zhu Xiong Ying changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier and quietly left the palace.

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, he stealthily made his way to the camp of the Western Regions allied forces.

Along the way, Zhu Xiong Ying was cautious and tried to avoid enemy patrols as much as possible.

With his superb martial arts skills and extraordinary courage, he successfully evaded numerous obstacles and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Western Regions Allied Army's camp.

Looking at the heavily guarded camp, Zhu Xiong Ying couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He knew that the upcoming operation would be even more dangerous.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and then quietly slipped into the camp.

Inside the camp, the soldiers of the Western Regions Allied Army were resting.

Zhu Xiong Ying carefully moved between the tents, observing the surroundings closely.

He discovered that these soldiers from the Western Regions were well-equipped, highly trained, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

It seems that the Emperor's concerns were not unfounded.

Zhu Xiong Ying pondered to himself while continuing to venture deeper into the camp, searching for the enemy's command post.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion ahead.

He quickly hid behind a tent, cautiously peeking out to observe the situation.

A group of soldiers from the Western Regions were seen dancing and singing around a bonfire, celebrating their victory.

In the center of the campfire sat a burly man with a full beard.

Judging from his attire, he should be a general.

Zhu Xiong Ying had a sudden thought: perhaps he could start by getting information from him.

He quietly approached the campfire and listened carefully to their conversation.

"General, our operation went so smoothly! The Ming army was utterly defeated!" a soldier exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, we made rapid progress and quickly captured the border cities of the Ming Dynasty!" another soldier chimed in.

"Hmph, the Ming emperor is incompetent and foolish, so his army is naturally no match for him!" The bearded general sneered, his tone full of disdain.

"General, what should we do next?" a soldier asked.

"Of course, we should continue the attack, strike at the heart of the enemy, and capture the Ming Emperor alive!" A cold glint flashed in the bearded general's eyes, his tone filled with murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiong Ying was startled.

It seems that the Western Regions Allied Forces' target was indeed the Ming Emperor!
He had to send this message back to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible so that his father could make preparations.

Just then, a soldier suddenly spotted Zhu Xiong Ying hiding behind a tent.

"Who goes there?!" the soldier shouted, drawing his sword and pointing it at Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying had a bad feeling and rushed out from behind the tent.

"Seize him!" The bearded general spotted Zhu Xiong Ying and immediately gave the order.

Immediately, a group of soldiers from the Western Regions swarmed forward and surrounded Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying knew he had been exposed, so he stopped hiding, drew his sword, and prepared to break through the encirclement.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" The bearded general sneered, drew his sword, and joined the battle.

Zhu Xiong Ying fought against many opponents and held his own in no way.

His sword moved like a dragon through the crowd, each swing taking a life.

Although the Western Region soldiers outnumbered and outmatched Zhu Xiong Ying, they were no match for him. One by one, they fell into pools of blood, screaming in agony.

Upon seeing this, the bearded general was somewhat shocked.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary soldier would possess such superb martial arts skills.

He roared, brandished his waist knife, and pounced on Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying sneered, neither dodging nor flinching, and charged forward with her sword...

The two swords clashed, producing a crisp metallic clang. The bearded general felt a tingling sensation in his hand, and his saber nearly slipped from his grasp. He was horrified; this young man's strength was astounding!

Zhu Xiong Ying's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile. "Is this all the skill you've got? You dare to boast about capturing the Ming Emperor alive?"

Enraged, the bearded general swung his sword at Zhu Xiong Ying again. Zhu Xiong Ying easily dodged, and at the same time kicked the bearded general in the chest, sending him flying.

The bearded general crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to get up, but found himself too weak to fight any longer.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers from the Western Regions were too frightened to step forward.

Zhu Xiong Ying looked around and snorted coldly: "Is there anyone else who disagrees?"

The soldiers from the Western Regions looked at each other, none of them daring to respond.

Zhu Xiong Ying sheathed his sword, walked up to the bearded general, and looked down at him. "Speak," he said, "what is your plan?"

The bearded general gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Zhu Xiong Ying sneered, stomping on his chest and grinding it down forcefully. "Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

The bearded general was pale with pain, large beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He finally couldn't hold back any longer and begged for mercy: "I'll talk, I'll talk! Our plan is..."

Zhu Xiong Ying released her foot and listened quietly to the bearded general's story.

It turned out that the Western Regions allied forces planned to take advantage of the Ming emperor's personal expedition to launch a surprise attack on the Ming capital, capture the emperor alive, and use him to blackmail the Ming court.

Zhu Xiong Ying couldn't help but sneer inwardly after hearing this. These barbarians from the Western Regions are truly delusional!

He grabbed the bearded general by the collar and lifted him up. "Take me to your command post!"

The bearded general dared not resist and could only obediently lead Zhu Xiong Ying to their command post.

Along the way, Zhu Xiong Ying observed the surrounding terrain discreetly, memorizing the layout of the Western Regions Allied Army's camp.

Upon arriving at the command post, Zhu Xiong Ying found it heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling everywhere.

He thought to himself that it would not be easy to leave this place quietly.

"General, you're back!" A guard saw the bearded general and quickly stepped forward to salute.

The bearded general nodded and pointed at Zhu Xiong Ying, saying, "This is an envoy sent by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He has important matters to discuss with us."

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately opened the gate and let Zhu Xiong Ying in.

Zhu Xiong Ying entered the command post and found it brightly lit, with a group of Western Region generals gathered around a table, discussing something.

Upon seeing the bearded general enter, a tall general immediately stood up and asked, "General, how is the situation?"

The bearded general pointed at Zhu Xiong Ying and said, "This is an envoy sent by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Generals, I have come here on the orders of the Emperor of the Great Ming to discuss peace with you."

"Negotiations?" a general sneered. "We have already captured the border cities of the Ming Dynasty, why should we negotiate peace?"
