Zhu Yunwen suppressed his voice and let out a low laugh.

Half happy and half crazy.

In the past few days, he lived in despair, unwillingness, and uncertainty, with a string in his heart always tense. Now, there is finally a result.

It's naturally difficult to calm down.

He went to Fujian because he knew there was potential for success.

Why were Japanese pirates rampant along the Fujian coast, despite the Ming Dynasty's repeated bans? Because the pirates could plunder the coastal areas when they advanced, but could simply sail out to sea when they retreated, making it impossible to eradicate them completely.

The same logic applies, as long as they really go to Fujian.

For Zhu Yunhuan or other vassal kings, the emperor was far away and could not control them.

Besides, if we stir up this mess tomorrow, who knows what kind of chaos Yingtian Prefecture will be in?

No one cares about his life or death.

This is indeed a way out!!

"Silly boy, laugh softly!" Mrs. Lu immediately covered his mouth.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and took away Lu's hand. Although his eyes were red, they were bright. He whispered, "Mother, I know. Zhu Yunwen thought he could sit on the throne safely, but he didn't know that Yingtian Prefecture was already full of storms. We just have to wait for this storm!"

……

A remote suburb outside Yingtian Prefecture.

This place is surrounded by mountains and forests. It looks lush and green from the outside. It is the best place to hide your body.

And beneath this tranquil green.

There were countless people hiding in it, tall, short, fat, and thin, some dressed like merchants, some like ragged beggars, and some like farmers...

The only common feature is.

They are all young and strong people in their twenties and thirties.

At the front, a tall, flamboyant young man in a luxurious blue brocade robe peered through the trees at Yingtian Prefecture. "Is everyone here?"

"Your Highness, Prince Qi, our 13,000 troops disembarked from the Qingzhou wharf and sailed all the way to the deserted beach near Yingtian Prefecture. We then split up and traveled overland to the outskirts of Yingtian. Basically, all of them have gathered here."

"Just waiting for His Royal Highness Prince Qi's orders."

That's right.

The young man in the blue brocade robe was none other than the Prince of Qi, Zhu Gui, who came from Qingzhou!

If the old man was not dead, he would definitely not dare to move, but now the old man is dead and there is no will, so things become interesting.

"Okay!" Zhu Yu retracted his gaze and showed an arrogant smile on his face.

"I have fought in the northern border many times and achieved great military success. Yet, this old man has arranged for me to stay in this godforsaken place called Qingzhou..."

"But Qingzhou is close to Yingtian and accessible by water, so I've got the upper hand. I'm already sick of this lousy place, Qingzhou!"

"Then I would like to congratulate His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi in advance!" An old man with a green beard and wearing a Taoist robe beside Zhu Yu twirled his long beard and bowed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu's face lit up with joy and he laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha!"

"It's still a little early to congratulate you. We joined forces with Zhou Dexing and took Yingtian Prefecture by surprise. I won't be able to sit on the throne anytime soon."

"After all, my second brother, third brother, and fourth brother... according to the order of rank, each of them is ahead of me."

Zhu Yu's lower eyelid trembled slightly.

There was a hint of regret in his joyful expression.

The old man in Taoist robes laughed:

"Even though that seat isn't yours right now, you've got the upper hand this time. Zhu Yunwen and Zhou Dexing rely on your Highness, so what if that brat sits there first? There's always a time when he'll have to give up that seat to your Highness."

Zhu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "You are the only one who speaks well."

The old man in Taoist robes stroked his beard and said, "It's just the facts, haha."

Zhu Yu laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha! Then I'll take your kind words for granted!"

There was a pause.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, frowned, and asked, "Isn't it about time? Zhou Dexing's people should be here by now?"
