Zhu Yunwen watched the funeral team slowly coming, and his heart was mixed, especially in the team, he also saw many acquaintances, such as the prince-consor Mei Yin, his fifth uncle, Zhou Wang Zhu Su, and even Zhu Yunyu's emperor's carriage.

However, Zhu Yunwen did not see Li Jie. Of course, it may be because there were too many people attending the funeral, and there were guards blocking it, so the sight was not very real. However, Zhu Yunwen would rather believe that Li Jie was not in the funeral team, but secretly sent people to search for his own traces.

With the arrival of the funeral procession, the people watching on both sides also began to riot. Some people may be afraid of Lao Zhu and the people, but they actually respected it more. After all, if it were not Lao Zhu, the Mongolian Yuan would probably still be on the heads of the people and acted as a blessing, and the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty would not have been quelled so quickly.

What's more, although Lao Zhu was harsh on officials, he was very generous to the people. The Ming Dynasty began to recuperate from the beginning of its establishment, especially the various high-yield crops brought from the Americas, which were also a contribution of Lao Zhu. This was a real achievement for the people.

So under this situation, many people were sad when they saw Lao Zhu's funeral procession. At first, some people knelt down, and then there was a large area of ​​people on both sides of the street kneeling down.

Zhu Yunwen knelt down in the crowd. After all, this was his own grandfather. However, Zhu Yunwen did not expect that his grandfather's prestige among the people was so high that so many people spontaneously knelt down to see him off.

"One day, I will make my prestige surpass my grandfather!" Zhu Yunwen swears in his heart, and his thoughts on escaping from the capital were even more firm.

The funeral team moved forward slowly, and the people on both sides followed one after another. For a moment, the scene seemed even more chaotic. Zhu Yunwen also mingled among the crowd and followed the funeral team towards the city gate. The closer he got to the city gate, the more nervous Zhu Yunwen felt. For him, as long as he left the city gate, it would be half the success of the entire escape plan.

As time passed by little by little, Zhu Yunwen was getting closer and closer to the city gate. Half of the funeral team in front had entered the city gate, and the people behind were also followed. What excited Zhu Yunwen even more was that there were no soldiers checking the city gate, which meant that the people could enter and exit at will.

In fact, this was something Zhu Yunwen expected. After all, the funeral team was very large. With so many people who were seeing off their leave behind, even if the court wanted to investigate, there would probably not be so many people. This was the funeral team of Emperor Taizu, so it was even more impossible for people to investigate at will.

Finally, all the funeral teams left the city gate, and the people behind followed closely behind, but there were still no soldiers to stop them. Zhu Yunwen, who was mixed in the crowd, slowly approached the city gate, and finally stepped onto the blue bricks under the city gate with one foot, and then walked through the wide city gate hole step by step.

When passing the city gate, Zhu Yunwen took a special look at the hidden military caves on both sides of the city gate. He was afraid that a team of Jinyiwei would suddenly appear inside and then intercept him.

Fortunately, what Zhu Yunwen was worried about did not happen. Until he passed through the city gate safely, there were still bustling people around him, and he did not see half of the Jinyiwei. In fact, with the current crowding level, even if the Jinyiwei really discovered Zhu Yunwen, it would not be easy to send someone to arrest him. Zhu Yunwen felt that he was almost squeezed and his feet were not touched.

However, the more this happens, the more relieved Zhu Yunwen is. The safest place for a drop of water is to hide in the sea, and the same is true for people. He is now like a drop of water in the ocean, with water droplets around him that are not much different, which is safer than ever.

After leaving the city gate, Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt wide open, and even the air outside the city smelled so sweet. However, he did not dare to show any abnormality at this time, but followed the crowd honestly and saw Lao Zhu's coffin along the official road.

For these people who came to see off, the funeral team did not encourage or drive them away. However, as time went by, especially the funeral team became more and more distant from the capital, these people began to give up slowly. After all, they all had their own lives and it was impossible for them to follow the funeral team to Nanjing all the time.

Zhu Yunwen really wanted to send his grandfather a little more. Although the other party chose Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince at the beginning, Zhu Yunwen had some complaints, but the other party was his own grandfather after all, and the relationship between the grandfather and grandchildren was still constantly tangled.

However, seeing the fewer and fewer people around him, Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to send him off any more. Moreover, he had left the capital for two or three miles, which also means that he was safe. It was time to start his escape plan.

So in this situation, Zhu Yunwen winked at the two guards beside him, and the three of them quietly turned to a fork in the east while others were not paying attention.

Zhu Yunwen's escape route after leaving the city had been planned. They would follow this road to the southeast, then go to Taijin, which is very close to the capital, and then take a boat to the sea from here. Whenever they arrive in the Yangtze River Basin, whether on sea or on land, someone will secretly pick him up.

The reason why Zhu Yunwen decided to go on the sea was mainly because although the land was fast, it was easily intercepted. After all, if Li Jie sent a large army to set up checkpoints on the road, Zhu Yunwen would be unable to escape this numerous encirclements.

In contrast, although the sea route is bumpy, it is much safer than land route. After all, the sea is vast and endless, so it is not easy to intercept ships and inspect them. Moreover, after arriving in the southern coast, someone will respond to them. By then, Zhu Yunwen's safety will be more secure and he will be more confident in a safe way to arrive in Nanjing.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen could also take water routes from the canal, but this one was even more dangerous. After all, the water route of the canal has always been under the control of the court. As long as the court gives the order, the entire water route will be paralyzed, so this water route is not as good as land routes, let alone sea routes.

The exchanges between the capital and Taijin were also very frequent, so the road was also very lively. Zhu Yunwen walked on the road with two disguised guards, which was not conspicuous. Moreover, every time they took a step, they were one step away from the capital, which made Zhu Yunwen feel very relaxed and even his steps became lighter.
