Wandering the Heavens

Sun Ruowei came to the Qinhuai River with trepidation. When she walked to Tingyuxuan where she had agreed to meet Zhu Zhanji, she found that the person sitting there was not the young man from yesterday, but the person who killed her companion.

"It's you!" Sun Ruowei sat opposite angrily.

To be honest, when Yu Xian saw this face, he always thought of Wang Jiazhi wearing cheongsam and not wearing cheongsam.

"Of course it's me, who else could it be?" Yu Xian poured the wine in the jug into the glass and drank it all in one gulp without a care in the world.

Seeing this, Sun Ruowei raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yu Xian, in a very ungraceful manner, "biu" towards the Qinhuai River, and the poisoned wine was spit into the river, splashing a beautiful splash of water.

"If I were easily poisoned by a pot of wine like yours, all these years would have been wasted!" Yu Xian said casually after drinking tea and rinsing his mouth.

"What do you know?" Sun Ruowei relaxed now.

"I know everything. Just follow me to a place!" Yu Xian very ungracefully drew out his Embroidered Spring Sword and placed it on Sun Ruowei's shoulder.

Seeing this, the assassins disguised as tea drinkers drew their swords and surrounded the two. Yu Xian cut off Sun Ruowei's crown with a backhand, and her hair, no longer restrained by the crown, fell on her shoulders.

"Don't leave any one behind!" Yu Xian said, then picked up Sun Ruowei who was lying on the ground and walked out.

The assassins, who did not believe in evil, no longer cared about Sun Ruowei's safety and raised their knives to hack at Yu Xian. Yu Xian accepted all the attacks and killed those who blocked his way one by one on the spot. He and Sun Ruowei were both splattered with the assassins' blood.

"No, you can't kill them! Stop it!" Sun Ruowei struggled to break free from Yu Xian's control.

Yu Xian didn't care and continued to hold her in one hand and kill everyone until the last assassin was chopped to the ground.

Sun Ruowei no longer had the courage to struggle, and was thrown directly by Yu Xian into the prison cart that had been prepared long ago and was taken to the imperial prison. The Jinyiwei and the imperial guards dared not breathe when they saw the new commander covered in blood.

It is said that a new official will start with three fires when he takes office, but the fire this man started was too scary. He killed dozens of people without blinking an eye on the bank of Qinhuai River.

When they arrived at the prison gate, Yu Xian ordered Sun Ruowei to be dragged down from the prison car, and searched her for the gate key to unlock the prison gate. Just as he was about to let the Jinyiwei drag her in, he found a group of people desperately surrounding them.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Prince of Han, Your Highness the Prince of Zhao, is there anything I can help you with?" Yu Xian bowed and saluted.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Sun Ruowei who was thrown to the ground casually, and felt very uncomfortable: "Commander Yu, where did the blood on your body come from?"

"Your Highness, these are the accomplices of yesterday's rebel group. They just tried to poison me at Tingyuxuan on the banks of the Qinhuai River. After they were exposed, they drew their swords and attacked me. Unfortunately, their skills were not good enough, and I killed them all. The blood on their bodies is theirs." Yu Xian seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.

"The Emperor has ordered that I, the commander, hand over the criminal to this grandson to meet the Emperor." Zhu Zhanji said while looking up at the sky.

"In that case, please, Your Highness, take her away!" Yu Xian agreed readily.

The three of them were stunned, especially Zhu Zhanji. He had already prepared himself to be questioned by Yu Xian, but who knew that this guy would throw the person to him without blinking an eye.

"Come here, bring the prisoner away to this grandson. Second uncle, third uncle, Commander Yu, I'm leaving first!" Zhu Zhanji decided to stop while he was ahead and ordered his men to take Sun Ruowei and run away.

"Prince Han, Prince Zhao, is there anything else?" Yu Xian decided to slack off after seeing that the main bosses had left.

"Commander Yu, today is a good day, shall we have a few drinks?"

Zhu Gaoxu quickly jumped off his horse and came forward to speak in a friendly manner. If Yu Xian had not been covered in blood, he would have definitely been arm in arm with someone.

"I have just taken up the position and have not received any salary yet, so I am very short of money." Yu Xian looked embarrassed.

"How can we let Commander Yu pay? Today, we brothers will treat you and let you drink as much as you want!" Zhu Gaosui also dismounted and agreed.

"Thank you so much, my Lords. Please allow me to take a bath and change my clothes. It is not appropriate to drink with blood all over my body." Yu Xian was very considerate.

Everyone came to the imperial prison for the remnants of Jianwen. Although no one knew why this guy threw the people to his nephew, there was nothing else to do now, so it was better to get close to him and test the waters first.

The Han Palace was very lively tonight. The Han King, Zhao Wang Yu Xian, a group of aides and generals were all drunk, and all kinds of dirty jokes were flying around. If it were somewhere else, there would probably be a mob scene.

"Brother Yu, I...I regret that we met too late. Come and have a drink!" Zhu Gaoxu held the wine glass tightly and handed it to Yu Xian.

"Your Majesty, your words are very embarrassing to me. If the civil officials knew about this, they would probably impeach me for not knowing the rules of etiquette and hierarchy." Yu Xian also raised the wine glass in his hand and echoed him.

"Don't say that. Thinking back to when my father brought us brothers to Nanjing, those civil servants were very aloof and I didn't like them. Unlike you, brother Yu, who asked my father to hand over the Jinyiwei to you as soon as you arrived, you are not our real brother, are you?" Zhu Gaoxu's mouth was full of alcohol.

"Second brother is right. Yu Xian is not your alias. You must be the fourth brother Gao Liao." Zhu Gaosui said affectionately while holding the cup in one hand and patting Yu Xian's shoulder with the other.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room sobered up.

Brother, you are the emperor’s biological son and he won’t do anything to you, but it’s easy for him to control people like us!

"Old Third, what nonsense are you talking about! If this gets out, I don't know how many people will die."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect to be tricked by his own brother. He was stabbed at the very beginning. How could he continue? A great drinking party was disrupted by Zhu Gaosui and ended in a bad mood.

Zhu Di called Yu Xian over early in the morning, and didn't do anything but stare at Yu Xian's face for most of the day.

"How can you say such nonsense, Third Brother? You don't look like me or the Queen at all." Zhu Di shook his head.

"Your Majesty, that's what Prince Zhao said after he was drunk." Yu Xian couldn't stand Zhu Di's look.

"Hmph, you don't have to save face for me. I know their character too well. There are only you and I in this hall. Tell me the truth, how are we going to deal with the remnants of Jianwen?" Zhu Di withdrew his aggressive gaze.

"Your Majesty, if you want to reconcile with your nephew, this is a matter of the royal family, and I have no way to advise you; however, the remnants of Jianwen are a major event for the court. I thought that ten years have passed since the end of the Fengtian Jingnan Rebellion, but there are always people who still refuse to give up and do not obey the will of heaven. Such people deserve to die!" Yu Xian expressed his opinion.

"Do they really not obey me?" Zhu Di was very confused.

"I think that there are very few people who are dissatisfied with the emperor, and most of them are dead. The remaining ones who have disloyalty towards the emperor just have family members who died ten years ago. They nominally support the restoration of Jianwen, but in fact they are doing it for their own personal revenge." Yu Xian explained patiently.

"Ten years ago, I killed many people, but I also released even more people. Is this wrong?" Zhu Di sighed.

"The emperor is kind, they just don't know how to be grateful." Yu Xian said this with confidence.

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Di was very surprised.

"In May of the 31st year of Hongwu, Taizu passed away and was buried in the imperial mausoleum. They couldn't wait to instigate the royal family to kill each other, demoted King Zhou to a commoner and exiled him to Yunnan. After that, they deposed other kings one after another and forced King Xiang to burn himself to death to prove his innocence. They deserve to be cut into pieces for such evil deeds!" Since they are working for Zhu Di, they must look at the problem from Zhu Di's perspective.

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, thinking of the humiliation he had suffered from the time Zhu Yuanzhang died to the time he decided to seize Peking and start an uprising. Now Yu Xian had made it very clear that these people did not truly support Jianwen, but were only seeking revenge.

"What I mean is to pardon the families of those ministers who were exiled to Nurgandusi, and all those who are fleeing in Yingtianfu will be executed." Zhu Di made his bottom line.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have to let one person go." Yu Xian said helplessly.

"Is it the female assassin?" Zhu Di also knew about Sun Ruowei.

"Grandson, it seems that you are interested in this girl." Yu Xian sold Zhu Zhanji out.

"What did you say!" Zhu Di was really angry this time.
