Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 78 Showing Loyalty

Beiping was besieged, and Lao Zhu was not idle. He let Zhu Biao take charge of the government, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Youxi and others assisted, and he himself went back to the world of Hongwu.

"Go and call us Sapphire."

After giving instructions to the eunuch, Lao Zhu sat in the imperial study and waited, staring at the ceiling with calculations in his eyes.

This time, the team he prepared for Zhu Biao can come in handy!

"Last general Sapphire, refer to the superior!"

The burly and sturdy Lan Yu walked into the imperial study room and gave Lao Zhu a slight salute.

He was born as a military general in Huaixi, and Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law is not only Lao Zhu's direct descendant, but also has an in-law relationship with Zhu Biao, so he didn't call Lao Zhu the emperor or your majesty like a civil servant, but habitually called him superior.

Lao Zhu came back to his senses and asked meaningfully: "Lan Yu, let me ask you, are you loyal to us?"

It was a fatal question as soon as he said it, Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation: "The last general is loyal to the superior and has no second thoughts."

The voice was resounding and powerful, but his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Although he was reckless and arrogant, he was not a fool. He could tell from Lao Zhu's tone that something big was about to happen!
"No, you are wrong!"

"The one who is loyal is not us, but the prince."

Lao Zhu corrected the mistakes in Lan Yu's words, both his face and voice were extremely flat, but Lan Yu's heart was raised in his throat!

"Yes, yes, it is the last general who made a slip of the tongue, the last general is loyal to the superior, and also loyal to the crown prince."

Lan Yu didn't know why Lao Zhu asked him that, but he knew that he had to follow Lao Zhu's words, otherwise he would die.

He is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yuchun's daughter married Zhu Biao. The emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying, is his nephew. If he dares to say that he is not loyal to Zhu Biao, he will have no value in existence!

How ruthless Lao Zhu's methods are, even if he was born as a military general in Huaixi, he knew three points. Guo Tianxu, Lao Zhu's righteous brother in the past, and Er Hu's older brother Da Hu, who followed Lao Zhu, are all dead. Not in vain.

"Since you are loyal to the crown prince, the crown prince wants you to die, whether you will die or not."

Lao Zhu pulled out the Son of Heaven sword and threw it in front of Lan Yu. This was the final test for Lan Yu.

Looking at the Tianzi Sword rubbing against the edge of the sword in front of him, Sapphire hesitated, but it was only for a moment, and in the next second, he directly picked up the Tianzi Sword and wiped it on his neck.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

"stop"

At the critical moment, Lao Zhu stopped Lan Yu, who was about to return to Jiuquan, and said with great satisfaction: "Lan Yu, you really didn't disappoint us."

"call"

Sapphire breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly put down the Son of Heaven sword. His palms and back were already soaked in sweat. Just now, he really thought that he would prove his loyalty with his life!

Fortunately, at the last moment, Lao Zhu stopped him in time, and this little life was saved.

After being shocked, he was overjoyed. From now on, his blue jade will be prosperous!
"Lan Yu, we have seen your loyalty and believe that you are absolutely loyal to the crown prince."

Old Zhu's eyes showed satisfaction and admiration. Among the team he selected for Zhu Biao, Lan Yu was the most qualified.

In order to pave the way for his eldest son, Lao Zhu has exhausted all his efforts. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao was equipped with the most luxurious team of civil servants and generals.

Especially in terms of military generals, Lao Zhu, who was born in grass roots, believes in the saying that there are soldiers and powers, so the generals assigned to Zhu Biao are all people who he thinks have the most potential and can help Zhu Biao stabilize the country and pacify the Quartet.

Leaving aside Fu Youde and Feng Sheng of the older generation, as far as the younger generation is concerned, Lao Zhu has prepared three top generals for Zhu Biao.

One is Xu Huizu, the eldest son of Xu Da, whose loyalty and ability can be guaranteed.

The second is Lan Yu, Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, who is fierce and brave, and is related to Zhu Biao by marriage.

The third is Zhu Wenzheng, Lao Zhu's eldest nephew, the number one hero in the Battle of Hongdu, Lao Zhu's ability to defeat Chen Youliang, he should be the first hero, not only a member of Lao Zhu's family, but also a generation of titans.

It is Zhu Wenzheng that Lao Zhu is most optimistic about. After all, to Lao Zhu, Xu Huizu and Lan Yu are just outsiders no matter how outstanding their abilities are, and they are not worthy of trust from their own family members. However, Zhu Wenzheng committed suicide by himself and was imprisoned by Lao Zhu. And finally.

Sapphire and Zhu Wenzheng are extremely similar, both brave and tough, equally arrogant and conceited.

It is precisely because of Zhu Wenzheng's lesson that Lao Zhu is so strict with Lan Yu. Knowing that Lan Yu and Zhu Biao are closely related, he wants Lan Yu to prove his loyalty.

"Sapphire, do you know why we asked you here?"

Old Zhu asked.

"Please clarify!"

"It's like this, like this, like this."

Lao Zhu told Lan Yu all his plans. Zhu Biao was about to ascend the throne and become emperor in another world, and he wanted Lan Yu to support Zhu Biao in the past.

In the Jianwen Dynasty, there were many talents, but there were not many who could really make Zhu Biao trust. With Sapphire, a reckless man, in the past, even if Zhu Yunqi took the throne, some people would not accept it, and there would be no big troubles. Sapphire Let them know that they are obedient.

To put it bluntly, Lan Yu is not only a team of generals prepared by Lao Zhu for Zhu Biao, but also a pair of white gloves prepared for Zhu Biao. With Lan Yu's arrogant and domineering character, he can do many things that Zhu Biao is not suitable for. Dry.Zhu Biao can let Lan Yu kill people who are not easy for Zhu Biao to kill.

"This"

Lan Yu was a little hesitant. He went to another world and followed Zhu Biao to make contributions. He naturally had no objection, but his family members were still here in Hongwu World. What if we never see each other again?

"What, you have a problem?"

Seeing Lan Yu's hesitant expression, Lao Zhu's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

He has only one position for Lan Yu, and that is to work hard for Zhu Biao. If Lan Yu can't work hard for Zhu Biao, then I'm sorry!

Zhu Yuanzhang of Jianwen World can kill Lanyu on the charge of treason, and he can also make Lanyu evaporate.

No matter in which world, Lan Yu's fate is closely related to Zhu Biao. If Zhu Biao is alive, he will also be alive, making great achievements, with infinite prestige;

"It will be an honor to be able to serve the prince."

"Dedicate yourself to the best of your ability, and die after death."

Lao Zhu's indifferent words fell into Lan Yu's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, frightening him to his knees and desperately expressing his loyalty. He, who has never been very knowledgeable, even Zhuge Wuhou's "Dedicate yourself to the best of your ability, and die after death" have all been moved out!

Isn't it just going to another world? It's a big deal. For him, Lan Yu, it's not a mess where he goes. Anyway, no matter what, he can't escape the palm of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao and his son.

Don't look at him, Lan Yu, who is majestic outside, and no one pays attention to him. Even if Xu Da, Tang He, and Li Shanchang, the three big brothers of the Huaixi Party, provoked him, he would still beat him up. But in front of Lao Zhu, he didn't even dare to fart.

Whatever Lao Zhu said, he had to do what he had to do. The Duke Lanyu of Liang State in Jianwen World had achieved great success and power, so what if he was easily killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, let alone a little Lanyu who was still developing in a wretched way.
