My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 36

It's getting late, the willows are on the moon.

The curfew in Jinling City had already started, and the streets were empty.

Zhu Zhanhe rode out of the imperial city on horseback, looking at the treasured sword in his hand as he walked.

I saw that the precious sword was not gorgeous, without any extra decorations, and there were many scratches on the handle and scabbard. It can be seen from this that this sword should have been with Zhu Di for a long time.

"choke~"

Zhu Zhanhe gently pulled out half of the blade, only to see that under the moonlight, the blade shone with a cold light like a clear spring.

"Good knife!"

Zhu Zhanhe sighed in admiration.

Looking at this precious sword, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help thinking of another person's weapon, which was the pagoda of Li Jing, the King of Tota.

Legend has it that Nezha returned his mother by cutting his flesh and his father by cutting his bones. After being resurrected with lotus roots, he chased and killed his father Li Jing everywhere. Finally, Taoist Ran Deng gave Li Jing the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which was specially used to subdue Nezha, so the pagoda can It is called "Shouzi Tower".

Imagine that when Li Jing was fighting with others, he threw out the pagoda and shouted: "Look at me taking my son's pagoda!".

If the enemy is taken into the tower, not only will the body be attacked, but the spirit will also be critically hit, and the damage will be doubled directly.

In comparison, Zhu Zhanhe's father-killing sword is too bad, if he only uses it to chop Zhu Gaoxu, it can be regarded as the best use.

But if Zhu Zhanhe uses it to cut others, every time he cuts others, it is equivalent to scolding himself.

As the saying goes, "When you are cut, the pain is in my heart." Zhu Zhanhe was narrow-minded, and worried that he would kill himself first instead of killing the enemy.

"Congratulations, son, His Majesty rewarded you with a treasured sword as soon as he returned to Beijing. I am afraid that even your grandson has never had such an honor!"

Ma An, who was next to him, saw that Zhu Zhanhe had been looking down at the sword, so he flattered him very professionally.

"This weapon is unknown, if you hurt the enemy, you will hurt yourself!"

Zhu Zhanhe sighed softly, and raised his head 45 degrees to look at the moon after he finished speaking, with the appearance of a cold and forceful outsider.

This precious sword has followed Zhu Di for many years and killed countless people, so Zhu Zhanhe secretly decided in his heart that he must transform this bloodthirsty knife of killing and despair into a knife of kindness and righteousness!

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe closed the sword with a "choke", then patted the scabbard and said in a low voice: "You can stay with me and take care of yourself, and I will never let you out of the sheath again!"

But at this moment, there was only a sound of "哗啦~" coming from the darkness on the side of the street, which was extremely ear-piercing in this quiet night.

"There are assassins! Protect the crown prince!"

With a loud cry, Ma An was the first to stand in front of Zhu Zhanhe's horse, and the surrounding guards rushed forward to protect Zhu Zhanhe.

At the same time, more than a dozen archers fired their arrows in unison, shooting randomly into the darkness where the strange noises were coming from.

In the end, there was only a scream in the dark, followed by a "woo woo~" sound, which didn't sound like a human voice.

So a guard stepped forward with a torch, only to find a skinny wild dog that had been shot into a hedgehog, nailed to the ground whimpering non-stop, apparently dead, and beside it was a pile of collapsed bricks.

"My lord, it was a wild dog that knocked down the brick, and there was no assassin!"

The guard immediately ran back to report.

Immediately Zhu Zhanhe was looking at the precious sword out of its sheath in his hand, his embarrassing face was reflected on the shiny sword.

"Instinct! Blame the damn instinct!"

Zhu Zhanhe comforted himself, and then put the knife back into the scabbard again, secretly convincing himself that the precious knife's pension plan would only start from this moment.

Then Zhu Zhanhe saw the wild dog that was shot into a hedgehog, and his eyes flashed with unbearable color.

"Ma'an! Kid, can you see clearly before barking, luckily it's a wild dog this time, what if it's a human next time?"

Zhu Zhanhe got angry at Ma An.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but it's not the villain's fault, it's Jin Yiwei who specially informed the palace, saying that it's not peaceful recently, so everyone in the palace should be more careful!"

Ma An yelled at Qu while admitting his mistake.

"It's not peaceful, is there still a strongman who wants to rob the palace?"

Zhu Zhanhe felt a little funny.

This is Jinling City, and he is still the heir of the King of Han, no matter how uneven it is, it will not be his turn.

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Jin Yiwei said that there might be rebels sneaking into the city with the intention of doing something wrong to the royal family. The palace is heavily guarded. They definitely have no chance, so their targets are probably us and Prince Zhao's mansion."

Ma An explained again.

As Zhu Zhanhe's personal entourage, Ma Anke is not only good at flattering, in fact, he is more like Zhu Zhanhe's big housekeeper, and he has to take care of everything inside and out.

"What kind of traitor is so bold?"

Zhu Zhanhe was startled, knowing that plotting to assassinate the royal family is a felony for punishing the nine clans.

"This villain doesn't know."

Ma An shook his head. If you want to know about this kind of confidential matter, you can only ask Jin Yiwei.

However, Zhu Zhanhe already had some guesses in his mind at this time. Since he is a rebel, he must be against Zhu Di as emperor, so the identity of the other party is ready to be revealed. You must know that Zhu Di killed a lot of people when Jing Nan was in trouble. people.

"This gang of rebels who bully the weak and fear the strong, the elders are the eldest sons and grandsons, so what's the point of seeking revenge from the second and third families?"

Zhu Zhanhe murmured in a low voice, then turned his horse and continued back home.

As soon as he returned to the palace, a servant immediately asked Zhu Zhanhe to go to the study, and Zhu Gaoxu had been waiting for him.

So Zhu Zhanhe came to the study room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Zhu Gaoxu quickly stepped forward and asked, "What did your grandpa leave you for?"

"What happened over there in Cochin, the soldiers under the Duke of England were infected with cholera, so Grandpa Huang asked me if there was anything I could do about it?"

Zhu Zhanhe told the story in detail as he spoke.

"So that's it. It's great that you know how to prevent it. If it's really useful, it will be much easier for Zhang Fu to be in Jiaozhi!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was also happy for Zhang Fu.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu finally noticed the treasured sword in Zhu Zhanhe's hand, which made him immediately step forward in surprise, grabbed it and asked, "Isn't this your grandpa's saber? Why is it in your hand?"

"Didn't I do meritorious service? Grandpa Huang rewarded me with this knife as soon as he was happy."

Zhu Zhanhe lied, he didn't dare to say that this knife was specially used to chop Zhu Gaoxu.

"Your grandfather is really generous. This is his favorite saber. He has been with him since Jingnan. I asked him for it a few times, but he was not willing to give it to you. I didn't expect to give it to you."

Zhu Gaoxu said "Canglang~" and drew out his precious sword.

Zhu Zhanhe wanted to stop it or not, so he could only say silently in his heart: what others draw doesn't count!

Looking at the blade like a pool of autumn water, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help admiring: "It's really a good knife. After so many years, it's still so sharp!"

As Zhu Gaoxu said, he habitually raised his hand and tried the blade with his thumb.

But he still underestimated the sharpness of this treasured knife. Just touching the blade with his finger lightly, he was cut by the sharp blade, and a smear of blood stained the blade.

Zhu Zhanhe who was standing next to him was stunned: This knife is really evil, I just brought it home, and took Zhu Gaoxu's blood!
