Walking behind these Ming troops, Mangbai's heart became colder and colder as he walked.

The soldiers of the Ming army in front were all tall and strong men with excellent armor and powerful weapons in their hands, and they looked sturdy.

Mangbai can be sure that if he has such soldiers, it will not take any effort to unify the entire south and west.

Eyes full of longing and worry.

Desire is, want to get this kind of soldier.

What is worrying is that this kind of soldier is afraid of becoming an enemy of himself.

At the same time, he was thinking, even if a strong soldier like Zhu Yujian was no match for Sun Jie, if he was thrown here, how powerful Daqin must be!

"Ugh!"

Thinking about it, Mangbai let out a long sigh, he didn't think he could be the opponent of these Ming troops.

Although he brought thousands of entourages with him, it was still uncertain whether he could be saved from this posture.

If the two sides really do it, the consequences are really hard to say.

Even if you want to leave now, it's too late.At this time, they have already entered Zhu Yujian's sphere of influence. If they run away early, there is a high probability that they will be caught.

I have worries in my heart, but I can't leave now. If I leave now, will these Ming soldiers forgive him?

Now that he has entered the range of the Ming army's strength, if he leaves, it will show that the two sides have completely torn their faces. If this is the case, then they can just say goodbye.

"They shouldn't do too much. If they want to counterattack the Central Plains, they must unite all forces. If they deal with me, who will trust them in the whole south?

If he wants to unite all the forces, he must buy horse bones with a lot of money. Only in this way can he recruit people to work for him. Yes, he must have such an idea. "

Mangbai thought secretly in his heart.

I have to say that this kind of spirit of Ah Q is really good, and this kind of spiritual victory rule is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The distance to Zhu Yujian's residence was getting closer and closer, and it didn't take long before he could see continuous camps.

The stone in Mangbai's heart also gradually fell to the ground.

What happened in the end will be seen later.

After walking a little further, I saw a tall wall of the village. The wall was piled up with soil, and the two sides were not covered with bricks, but wood that could be seen everywhere.

The logs are erected in two sections, and the soil is compacted in the middle. The wall built in this way has a certain strength, which is not as good as the city wall in the Central Plains, but it saves materials and is low in cost.

In the Central Plains, this kind of wall can only stop bandits. As for the officers and soldiers, don't even think about it.

But here, when facing these monkey-like characters, they can easily block them.

These monkey-like characters don't have any powerful weapons in their hands.

A few years ago, Frangji came here and reached an agreement with the Toungoo Dynasty to sell some firecrackers to Mangbai and the others.

But the firecrackers are expensive, and Mangbai only bought a small part of them. These firecrackers are used by his personal guards. Most of the soldiers use ordinary broken weapons. They want to fight against Zhu Yujian's soldiers. , is simply an impossible thing.

So, this level of wall is enough here.

When Mangbai arrived not far from the wall of the village, the gate of the village suddenly opened wide, and two teams of cavalry came to Mangbai along the road.

The armor on these cavalrymen was the cotton armor accumulated by Mu Wangfu and Zhu Yujian over the years, and there was also a set of chain mail inside.

They are tall and powerful, with imposing appearances, and they have an indescribable sense of oppression.

These soldiers lined up in two queues, located on both sides of the road, and greeted him specially.

It can be said that Zhu Yujian has given a lot of shame.

Mangbai was in the middle of the team, looking at the people on both sides, he felt a lot more worried.

Just when he was about to advance, he saw a handsome red-robed general riding a horse and leading a group of people towards him.

Mangbai recognized who it was at a glance, he is the number one general under Zhu Yujian, Mu Tianbo.

Mangbai knows the prestige of Prince Mu's Mansion better than anyone else.

Back then, his ancestor had fought against Mu Tianbo's ancestor, Mu Ying.

How powerful Mu Ying was back then, she killed the entire Southwest, and basically all the restless people and those with different ambitions were killed to nothing.

Who would not be afraid of such a killing god?
After Mu Ying's death, the descendants of Prince Mu's Mansion followed Mu Ying's last wish and guarded the southwest for more than two hundred years.

Seeing Mu Tianbo, Mangbai thought of Mu Ying in history, the Mu Palace in history, and the things they did in the southwest in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is here to invite you!"

Mu Tianbo rode a horse, walked up to him, jumped off the horse, stood in the middle of the road, and bowed his hands in salute.

This really surprised Mangbai, he never expected that Mu Tianbo would salute him.

Mu Tianbo is loyal, upright and wise.

If he acts too tough or too lawless, it may scare the reckless white, causing him to worry or run away.

Everyone has arrived at the door of the house now, and the matter has reached the last step. If there is a problem here, the loss outweighs the gain.

Mang Bai was also taken aback by Mu Tianbo's sudden salute, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, and saluted Mu Tianbo back.

"How dare you ask the general to salute, isn't that a shame for me?!"

Mangbai replied repeatedly.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Mu Tianbo enthusiastically took Mangbai's arm and walked into the camp.

Zhu Yujian's palace is in the middle of the camp. Although it is simple, its general shape is still in accordance with the shape of a royal palace.

Looking at the palace in front of him, Mangbai sighed.

The palace in front of him is obviously not as luxurious as his palace, but its momentum is even more magnificent.

He couldn't figure it out, this was obviously just a palace built of mud, why did it have such an aura?

Before thinking too much, I saw Zhu Yujian standing in front of the palace gate, waving at him.

"Brother Mangbai!"

Zhu Yujian hurried over from the gate of the palace with a smile on his face, and he seemed extremely happy.

Looking at Zhu Yujian approaching, Mangbai felt a sign in his heart, and a lot of confusion appeared on his face.

Zhu Yujian's face was full of sincere smiles, without any falsehood.

That sincere and enthusiastic look made Mangbai confused for a moment what Zhu Yujian's real purpose was.

If you want to be an emperor, you must be able to act.

At this moment, Zhu Yujian wished he could chop Mangbai off, but on the surface he was still enthusiastic and sincere.

Mangbai had a lot of thoughts in his mind, "Could it be that it's really just an alliance? I was thinking too much before?!"

Just thinking of this, Zhu Yujian stood in front of him.

"Brother Mangbai, long time no see!"

Zhu Yujian took Mangbai's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I have finally hoped for brother Mangbai. Today, you and I will drink the mantra water together and discuss important matters of alliance!"

Mangbai hurriedly replied: "It's really my blessing that His Majesty came out to greet you in person, so please do everything according to His Majesty's instructions!"

"Hahahaha, okay, let's arrange it like this. I have prepared a sumptuous meal. I brought these cooks from the Central Plains. They are skilled. Today I will let you see our delicious food!"

As Zhu Yujian spoke, he took Mangbai's arm and walked into the palace.

Mangbai's footsteps did not move, and Zhu Yujian did not move all of a sudden.

This made Zhu Yujian hesitate, and turned to look at him.

A dozen or so soldiers stood behind Mangbai, and Zhu Yujian immediately saw the problem.

"Hahaha, I thought it was something, it was just some trivial matter, let's go in together, not bad for this person!"

Zhu Yujian laughed and said.

People have already come in, and there is no shortage of people like this.

As long as his brigade guards are sent away, there is no hidden danger.

Seeing that Zhu Yujian did not refuse, Mangbai led the dozen or so guards towards the main hall.

Behind him are his thousands of guards, but it is impossible to bring all these thousands of guards into the hall.

The palace is not big, it is far inferior to the imperial palace in Beiping, and it cannot even be compared with Zhu Yujian's palace in Nanyang.

In the palace, there are two rows of tables with sumptuous meals on them.

The banquet adopted a meal-sharing system, and Zhu Yujian took Mangbai to sit in the first place under the throne to show respect.

After Zhu Yujian and Mang Bai took their seats, the remaining officials entered the palace one after another and took their seats one by one.

However, Lu Zhenfei and Mu Tianbo did not come.

The two of them, leading Mangbai's guards, bypassed the palace and came to the barracks behind the palace.

According to Mu Tianbo, it was in the barracks behind the palace that they had prepared extremely sumptuous meals.

The person in charge of the guards was not Shuka, but another man named Jiahu.

This man is also Mangbai's loyal subordinate, but he has many bad habits, like speculation, greedy and lustful.

If it was Shuka, he would just stay here and wait for Mangbai to come out.

Under Mu Tianbo's instigation, Ke Jiaban quickly left here.

However, there were also a few loyal guard commanders who led their own men and were unwilling to leave without saying anything. There were about three hundred of these people in total.

Mu Tianbo persuaded them for a while, but these people were not moved, and insisted on standing there.

I don't care about them anymore, there are only a few hundred people, and there is no big storm, as long as most of them are dealt with, these people are just meat on the chopping board.

He brought a large group of guards to the barracks, and hundreds of tables were set up on the school grounds, filled with sumptuous meals.

There are even a lot of fine wine, which exudes a sweet smell, which attracts the attention of these soldiers.

Although they are Mangbai's personal guards, they usually don't eat very well. They are basically coarse grains, and they can't eat meat or drink wine at all.

Now, the meals in front of them, including wine and meat, seduce their appetites and make them unable to stop.

Of course there are some sober soldiers, but they are too few in number, their arms cannot twist their thighs, so they can only accept their fate.

There are also some hardliners who don't want to stay here at all, and even organized themselves to run to the palace.

Mu Tianbo couldn't even go on like this, so he led people, persuaded them with good words, and led them towards the palace.

When it was about the same time, Mu Tianbo winked at his subordinates, and a soldier quietly left here, and not long after, those people who were hiding around quietly followed.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he wiped it all over his neck.

Some people didn't die for a while and howled loudly. Unfortunately, the banquet at the barracks had already started, and there were shouts everywhere, and no one noticed them at all.

It is far away from the military camp, and there are shelters around, so it is relatively easy to kill some restless people.

The guards in ambush quietly dragged the corpses out and cleaned the blood on the ground.

Mu Tianbo looked behind him, and when he heard the shouts and yells, his face became extremely gloomy.

"Later, I will send you to the west!"

In the main hall, Zhu Yujian held up his wine glass and toasted Mang Bai: "Brother Mang Bai, you and I will become brothers today, we will fight the enemy together, advance and retreat together, please drink this cup to the brim!"

Afterwards, Zhu Yujian drank the wine inside in one gulp.

Seeing Zhu Yujian so happy, Mangbai also picked up the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Haha, Your Majesty is a true dragon descended from the sky. The first time I saw Your Majesty, I knew that Your Majesty is not a mortal. In the future, Da Ming will definitely be able to prosper in His Majesty's hands." Mang Bai said eagerly.

The atmosphere in the main hall was very lively, and the officials sitting with him made the atmosphere to the extreme.

Zhu Yujian looked at Mangbai and said: "Brother Mangbai is the king of Dongyu Kingdom, he is a dragon and phoenix among people, and he was not able to confer the title of Your Excellency before because I was not sure.

My Ming Dynasty built a country with benevolence, and since your Excellency has ascended the throne, I have to think about the people of Toungoo Kingdom, so I inspected your Excellency.

So many days have passed, and I have come to know your ability and character. After this banquet is over, I will confer on you. "

This scene was so beautifully spoken, if it weren't for Zhu Yujian's aggressive posture before, Mangbai really thought that Zhu Yujian would canonize him.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be very respectful, "Your Majesty, at this moment, I know that Daming is the kingdom of heaven. It is normal to think about it. I was too anxious before, and I punished myself with three cups. Please forgive me! "

As he spoke, Mangbai picked up his wine glass and offered three glasses of wine to Zhu Yujian.

Lu Zhenfei walked in from outside the main hall, leaned close to Zhu Yujian, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the preparations are almost done. Most of the guards he brought have been controlled in the barracks behind. As long as Your Majesty calls It will be eradicated completely."

"Wait first, wait until Mangbai is drunk, and then start to attack. You ask General Mu to transfer the Yulin Army to the back of the main hall, and wait for my order at any time! Don't act too hastily, the thousands of people over there are quite noisy. To be safe, we must hit it with one blow!" Zhu Yujian waved his hand and said in a low voice.
