"Don't worry, with me here, they won't dare to go back on their word."

Zhu Ming just chuckled. These people were obviously afraid of his status as the emperor's grandson and did not dare to act recklessly.

Killing royal relatives is no small matter.

While the Jinyiwei were still hesitating, there was a sudden commotion behind the bandits.

"what happened?"

Wang Mazi immediately turned around, frowned as he looked at the crowd that was starting to make noise, and started shouting.

We are still doing business here, what are they arguing about?

"Brother, many Jinyiwei rushed out from the secret passage!"

A few panicked bandits squeezed out of the crowd, looked at Wang Mazi, and spoke hesitantly.

"How can it be!"

Upon hearing the report from his brothers, Wang Mazi immediately opened his eyes wide in shock.

How could his secret passage be opened so quickly when it was prepared so secretly?

He suddenly seemed to think of something and turned around to look at Zhu Ming.

This kid!

"finally come."

The others were still kept in the dark. Even Chen Ling and other Jinyiwei didn't understand what was going on, but Zhu Ming already looked relaxed.

After such a long time, the reinforcements Liu Jin found finally arrived.

"Master Chen Ling, can you still fight?"

Zhu Ming raised his head, looked at Chen Ling, and asked with a smile.

After learning that reinforcements had arrived, he felt a lot more relaxed.

If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to wipe out these bandits, it would only take a word.

"nature."

Chen Ling finally understood what had happened at this time. She stood up with the knife in her hand and looked at Zhu Ming.

Although he was seriously injured now, he could still protect Zhu Ming from harm.

He jumped down from the platform and stood in front of Zhu Ming.

It turns out that this grandson of the emperor has been calculating time all along.

"Let's go and meet up with the reinforcements."

Seeing that Chen Ling's injury did not affect his activities, Zhu Ming nodded and began to speak.

While he was speaking, the Jinyiwei who came to support had already rushed over.

These bandits were unable to resist at all and began to gather towards the gate.

However, the door had already been closed by them, and with Chen Ling and others guarding here, there was no way to escape.

"Brothers, fight them!"

Wang Mazi also became ruthless at this time. At this point, he had no choice but to fight hard.

After saying that, he waved his sword, turned around and rushed towards the Jinyiwei.

Seeing this, the other bandits also became bloodthirsty and started fighting with the Jinyiwei.

For a moment, hundreds of people were fighting each other in this mountain stronghold, flames shot into the sky, and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

"Your Highness, we are too late to save you!"

While the others were fighting with the bandits, Liu Jin, under the protection of Erhu, began to look for Zhu Ming.

These bandits are not important, and it doesn’t even matter whether they exist or not.

The most important thing now is the safety of Zhu Ming, the emperor's grandson.

"Eunuch Liu, be careful."

Erhu protected Liu Jin, while looking for Zhu Ming and killing the bandits who were approaching. He did two things at the same time and did not forget to remind Liu Jin to be careful.

"Am I okay?"

Zhu Ming shouted, jumped, stretched out his hand, and greeted Liu Jin and the others.

These people are finally here.

I can hardly hold on any longer.

"His Royal Highness!"

Hearing Zhu Ming's response, Liu Jin and Erhu immediately led the Jinyiwei towards that direction.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Seeing that Zhu Ming was safe and sound, Erhu and Liu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They can only go back and report after they know that His Royal Highness the Grandson is fine.

"I will fight to the death to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Seeing Erhu and the others finally arriving, Chen Ling and the others could no longer hold on. They sat down against the door behind them, gasping for breath.

Just a few people had to face hundreds of bandits. Even if they were the Imperial Guards, they could hardly hold on.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Erhu also nodded affirmatively towards Chen Ling and the others. Today's event was considered a great achievement by Chen Ling and the others.

"Wait!"

Watching Erhu and Chen Ling chatting with the others, Zhu Ming suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around abruptly to look at the crowd that was still charging.

"Wang Mazi!"

He shouted and began to look around.

These bandits can die, but Wang Mazi must be kept alive.

Now he is the only one who knows who wants to kidnap him and force him to stop the tax reform of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing that Zhu Ming cared so much about Wang Mazi's life or death, Erhu immediately came over and looked at Zhu Ming in confusion.

He also didn't know why His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor cared so much about the life and death of the bandit leader.

"Only Wang Mazi knows who wants to kidnap me."

Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Erhu seriously.

He had been trying to get information out of Wang Mazi on this point.

However, Wang Mazi was always on guard against him and refused to speak.

"I see."

Knowing Zhu Ming's purpose, Erhu nodded, then turned to look at the other Jinyiwei: "If you meet the bandit leader, leave him alive!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Erhu's order, the Jinyiwei who were still fighting responded in unison.

These bandits were a mob to begin with, and soon stopped resisting when they were chased by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

The shouts and cries of killing in the mountain stronghold gradually weakened, and the few survivors were tied up and taken to the sides.

Accompanied by Erhu and Liu Jin, Zhu Ming began to look for Wang Mazi among the faces of those who were captured alive.

It was not until he saw the familiar figure being escorted by the Jinyiwei and kneeling at the back with his head down that Zhu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Mazi, at least you're still alive.

"How do you feel now, Mountain King?"

Zhu Ming walked up to Wang Mazi and asked with a smile.

"I lost."

Wang Mazi lowered his head, without even looking at Zhu Ming, and responded with some resentment.

I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a little kid today.

"I promised to keep you alive."

Zhu Ming did not forget what he had said, but he also wanted to know some information from Wang Mazi.

"Now can you tell me who asked you to kidnap me?"

Zhu Ming didn't care about Wang Mazi's attitude. He squatted down and looked directly into Wang Mazi's eyes.

Now that their identities have been swapped, the murderous intent in Wang Mazi's eyes has dissipated on its own.

"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."

Wang Mazi just looked at Zhu Ming coldly. This kid caused his entire village to be destroyed. How could he possibly help them?

"You really won't tell me?"

Seeing that Wang Mazi was so stubborn, Zhu Ming also imitated his previous tone and began to threaten him.

But Wang Mazi turned his head away and ignored Zhu Ming's words.
