Chapter 109 The Girl With the Sword
Hu Jiang brought people back to Li Zhu's house, but on the way he came, he looked at Mao Xiang in front of him from time to time. He originally thought that Zhu Yunyu could protect Li Zhu's family, but he didn't expect that Mao Xiang was so stubborn that he didn't even give him the face of the emperor.
"Stop the person coming!" As soon as Hu Jiang and Mao Xiang arrived in front of the door, the palace guards immediately stepped forward to block the enemy.
"The Jinyiwei handled the case under His Majesty's order, who dared to stop it?" Mao Xiang did not give any face at all and stepped inside.
The Jinyiwei was originally one of the imperial guards in the palace. The two imperial guards guarding the gate knew Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei. Now seeing him breaking in, they didn't dare to come forward to stop him for a moment.
However, as Mao Xiang was about to step into the courtyard, Zhu Yunxiu walked out of the room. Seeing Mao Xiang, his face darkened: "Commander Mao is so powerful, even the people around me dare to scold him?"
"Sir, please see Your Highness!" Mao Xiang immediately stopped when he saw Zhu Yunxiu, and then saluted respectfully.
"Do you still know me, the prince?" Zhu Yunxiu sneered at this time, and straightened his body and asked toughly again, "Didn't I warn you just now, and did you do whatever you should do, why do you still come here?"
"Your Highness, Li Zhu's family is an imperial offender of the court, and the officials are also acting on the orders of Your Majesty!" Mao Xiang replied in a humble and arrogant manner.
"After order? Did Grandpa the Emperor personally issue an order to arrest Li Zhu's family?" Zhu Yunxi asked coldly again.
"The evidence of Korean Duke Lee Sun-chang is now conclusive. All people related to Korean Duke need to be arrested. Li Zhu is the son of Korean Duke, and of course he is also among the arrests!" Mao Xiang replied again.
"Bastard, Li Jie is my brother-in-law. You want to arrest their family now. Do you also want to arrest me together?" Zhu Yunsheng scolded angrily when he heard this.
"Your Highness of the Prince is so serious. If you commit a crime, you will decide to take it by your own clan mansion, and of course the subordinates have no right to deal with it!" Mao Xiang said with a smile. The so-called clan mansion is an institution specializing in the affairs of the royal clan. It was originally named Dazongzheng Temple, but it was renamed the Zongren Mansion last year, and the Qin King Zhu Chuang was appointed Dazongzheng.
"You... you threaten me with the clan mansion?" Although Zhu Yunxiu was young, he also heard the implication of Mao Xiang's words, and immediately blushed and asked loudly.
"The emperor dares not, just tell the truth. Moreover, the emperor has the emperor's will, so please do not stop him!" Mao Xiang replied with a smile again. It was too easy for him to deal with Zhu Yunxiu, a child who had not grown up.
After Mao Xiang finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked into the yard. Even if Zhu Yunxiong had a noble status, the Jinyiwei always only followed the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and the others were not taken seriously by them at all.
However, before Mao Xiang's feet could fall, a girl's cold voice came from the living room and said, "The Jinyiwei is so brave, he dares to threaten the royal family!"
A big hat was pulled down, which scared Mao Xiang to death. Then a girl in the palace dress walked out in the living room. Zhu Yunxiu, who was next to him, immediately stepped forward with grievance when he saw her and said, "Sister, I..."
With a voice of "Sister", Mao Xiang was also startled and immediately guessed the identity of the girl, which made him bow and salute immediately: "Sir, please see Your Highness the Princess!"
Zhu Yuning didn't want to come forward, but when he saw his younger brother being bullied by Mao Xiang, and seeing that Mao Xiang was about to rush in, he had to stand up.
Zhu Yuning looked at Mao Xiang coldly, and after a while, he spoke: "Give you a chance and take someone away immediately. I can think that what happened before hasn't happened!"
"Your Highness, as far as I know, the palace does not seem to be allowed to leave the palace without permission?" Mao Xiang did not answer Zhu Yuning directly, but instead pointed out that the other party had left the palace without permission. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, the consequences would be very serious.
"Why? The Jinyiwei's hand stretched out so long that he actually dared to take care of the affairs in the palace?" Zhu Yuning snorted coldly and asked, and another big hat was buckled.
"I dare not!" Mao Xiang was also shocked when he heard this. He thought that only Zhu Yunxiong was here, but he didn't expect that there was a princess, and the other party put a lot of pressure on him, and it was definitely not as easy to deal with as Zhu Yunxi, who had not grown up.
"What are you afraid of? Even my brother dares to threaten you. It seems that Grandpa Emperor is really too indulging you!" Zhu Yuning pressed step by step. She wanted to put the hat that threatened the royal family on Mao Xiang's head and use it to force the other party to retreat. After all, even if she is a princess, she has no right to directly order the other party to leave.
However, Mao Xiang was not so easy to deal with. He suddenly gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "Princess, don't slander the lower officials. The lower officials are just acting on the order of the emperor and arrest Li Zhu's family and bring him to justice. Please do not stop him!"
Mao Xiang said that he would step into the yard again, because he knew that it would be no good for him to argue with His Highness, no matter whether he won or lost, it would be better for him. It would be better to go in and catch the person directly, and then His Majesty will make a decision.
I have to say that Mao Xiang was indeed very decisive, but he still underestimated Zhu Yuning. When he saw that he was about to break in again, Zhu Yuning raised his eyebrows, then reached out and grabbed the waist knife of the guard next to him. He pulled it out with a "cang" and pointed the tip of the knife directly at Mao Xiang and said sternly: "You dare to take another step forward, believe it or not, I will chop you!"
"Sister!" Zhu Yunxiu was shocked when he saw this. He never dreamed that his sister would use the knife directly.
Mao Xiang was even more shocked. He didn't expect that the princess in front of him would be so strong, but then he calmed down and smiled calmly and said, "The princess is a daughter-in-law. Never use a knife and a gun, otherwise it will be bad if you hurt yourself!"
Zhu Yuning heard Mao Xiang’s implication, and she sneered again: “Do you think I am a woman, even if I hold a knife, I dare not really kill you?”
Mao Xiang also looked cold when he heard this. He confirmed that Zhu Yuning took the knife just to scare him, but Mao Xiang was also from a military family and could not scare him by just a knife.
"Mao Xiang, don't forget that this princess is the grandson of Emperor Hongwu, and King Changqian of Kaiping is my grandfather. As a general, what is the killing of a person?" Zhu Yuning also said murderously again at this time, and said as he held a knife in one hand and stepped forward.
Mao Xiang was also intimidated by Zhu Yuning's momentum, and at this time he took a step back. As Zhu Yuning said, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun were all murderers. Although Zhu Yuning was a woman, the blood of Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun was still flowing with Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun. Now Mao Xiang was finally convinced that if he took another step forward, Zhu Yuning would really slash it down.
Seeing Mao Xiang retreating, Zhu Yuning sneered again: "I will kill you, how dare you hide?"
Zhu Yuning's words seemed unreasonable, but they hit Mao Xiang's weakness all at once. Although their Jinyiwei is now famous, to put it bluntly, they are just a dog raised by Zhu Yuanzhang. All Mao Xiang's power comes from Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang's words can determine his life and death.
Zhu Yuning is the princess of the Ming Dynasty and is also the owner of the dog Jinyiwei. Now Zhu Yuning wants to kill Mao Xiang, but he dares not fight back if he kills Mao Xiang, and he can't even dodge, because today the princess kills you, you dodge, and then the emperor wants to kill you tomorrow, do you still have to dodge?
In other words, if Mao Xiang avoided it, it means that there was something wrong with his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang. The reason why he was able to sit in the position of commander of the Jinyiwei was due to his absolute loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang. If his loyalty was gone, not only would he die, but his family and friends would also be implicated.
As for Zhu Yuning, even if she really killed Mao Xiang, she would only apologize to Zhu Yuanzhang at most. You should know that Zhu Yuanzhang is famous for protecting his shortcomings. Although Mao Xiang is a good dog, Zhu Yuanzhang would not make things difficult for him. So Zhu Yuning was scolded at most, and he would do whatever he should do in the future.
Thinking of the above, Mao Xiang's cold sweat fell from his forehead. He never thought that one day he would be threatened by a girl with a knife, and it would make him in a dilemma.
Zhu Yuning wore a long skirt and pointed a knife at Mao Xiang with one hand. Her eyes were full of murderous aura. Since she dared to come, she naturally had the worst plan. Although she had never killed anyone, as long as Mao Xiang dared to take another step forward, she would not mind dyeing her hands with blood.
Mao Xiang's face changed and finally took a few steps back again and saluted Zhu Yuning slightly and said, "The princess is strong and strong. I admire him and say goodbye!"
After Mao Xiang said that, he turned around and left. Since Zhu Yuning was here, Li Zhu's family would definitely not be able to take him back. This also made him secretly anxious because the arrest of Li Zhu's family was a task assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. It has not been completed now. Although he can put the blame on Zhu Yuning, it is still his dereliction of duty.
However, compared to dereliction of duty, his own life is more important, so Mao Xiang had no other way, so he could only go back and complain to Zhu Yuanzhang first, and Zhu Yuanzhang would personally deal with the matter.
Thinking of these above, Mao Xiang immediately rushed to the palace as fast as possible. However, just when he was not far from the imperial city, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from behind. Then a cavalry ran away while roaring: "A great victory at sea! The Japanese pirates have been destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
The cavalry who reported the victory ran away from Mao Xiang, but Mao Xiang stood there motionless. After a while, he whispered to himself: "The Japanese pirates have been really wiped out. Does that mean that Li Jie is coming back?"
