Chapter 73 The Emperor’s Death and Breakthrough
“Zhu, Hou, Zhao.”
Kublai Khan uttered three words coldly, forcing himself to calm down.
I knew I could no longer scold him.
Zhu Houzhao made it clear that he could not ignore face.
Besides, the other party was only a thirteen-year-old spoon dancer after all. If he continued to scold him, he would be the one who would be ridiculed even more.
With a wave of his hand, the army moved towards the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry.
Zhu Houzhao smiled disdainfully and began to circle slowly with Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry and five thousand slave soldiers.
At the end of the day, the war did not break out.
Kublai Khan was very cautious and did not divide his troops to take the initiative.
Zhu Houzhao kept looking for flaws, but couldn't find any.
If he charged forcefully, he was worried that Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry would be damaged too much.
It was like this for a whole day.
The next three days were almost spent in this way.
At most, Kublai Khan tried his best to set baits one after another.
But because of the failure on the first day, he was too cautious, resulting in little benefit and too much risk, so Zhu Houzhao did not bite again.
The two sides have been entangled like this for several days, and no one can do anything about the other.
During this period, Kublai Khan did not attack Gansu Town and forced Zhu Houzhao to fight him.
Because he was worried that Zhu Houzhao would directly enter Gansu Town and not come out.
By then, there will really be no chance.
At this time, the news that Kublai Khan lost a battle to Zhu Houzhao also spread.
In this regard, Daming's overall mood became more happy and excited.
In the court hall, the voices of middle and low-level officials asking His Royal Highness to return to Beijing almost disappeared.
Only the senior management looked increasingly worried and heavy.
October 5th.
This is the sixth day of confrontation and entanglement between the two armies.
The cold wind is blowing, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
"Kublai Khan, you stupid dog, do you dare to come? This prince allows you to lead 20,000 cavalry, let's fight, what are you doing?
You incompetent waste, Coward.
Come if you can.
This prince has to beat your father, no, your grandfather doesn’t even recognize you. "Zhu Houzhao put his hands on his hips and cursed happily.
Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry let out a roar of laughter.
The atmosphere was relaxed and morale was high.
Opposite, Meng Yuan The army was quiet, and its morale was slightly lowered, but it also suppressed its anger.
They had been listening to Zhu Houzhao's unilateral scolding of Kublai Khan for five or six days.
The emotions of both parties are naturally different.
In front of the Mongolian and Yuan armies.
"Brother Wang, are you still letting Zhu Houzhao say something disrespectful?" Sihanfei, who was already much better, said in a deep voice.
After being defeated for a while, if Zhu Houzhao were to just let Zhu Houzhao scold him, the Mongolian and Yuan army would eventually return without success.
It is foreseeable that Kublai Khan will be ridiculed by everyone in the world.
Within the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the prestige will also take a big hit.
This is no small matter.
"Let him scold you." Kublai Khan said with a cold and calm face, "The more he scolds, the more arrogant and proud he will be.
I don't believe it. In this state, he will never make any mistakes."
Si Hanfei has long known Kublai Khan's purpose, but time is running out.
In the last three or four days, will Zhu Houzhao really make mistakes?
“Continue sending out bait.” Kublai Khan said as calmly as ice.
Situations that were no different from the past few days happened one by one.
Meng Yuan spread bait and tests.
Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry tested and looked for flaws.
Both sides are very patient and wait for the opportunity.
At the same time.
In the center of Gansu town, Zhu Hui, Li Guang, and Zhang Fengfu, who were left behind, looked very heavy after receiving an urgent secret letter.
Li Guang, especially, looked gloomy and sad, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
The atmosphere in the room with only three people was extremely depressing.
"What should we do now? Do we want to inform His Highness immediately?" Zhang Fengfu was the first to break the silence.
"No, His Highness is leading the army to confront Kublai Khan. There must be no mistakes.
Let's wait for His Highness to come back." Zhu Hui immediately objected and stabilized his mind.
Zhang Fengfu and Li Guang nodded, understanding this.
After deciding on this matter, the three of them fell silent again.
His face became increasingly heavy and worried.
Why did your Majesty...
When the sun was setting in the west, Zhu Houzhao led the army back to Gansu Town.
“Hahaha, stupid Kublai Khan, still want to seduce this prince into being fooled?
Do you think this prince is as stupid as him?
This prince knows what he wants to do at a glance. If he wants to fight this prince, he will not be able to do it in his next life.
Hahaha. "Zhu Houzhao's arrogant and proud laughter spread throughout the surroundings before he even entered the mansion.
Behind him, the old man, Zhu Wuwu and others were following, listening with smiles.
" This Kublai Khan is born in the year of the tortoise. This prince has scolded him for so many days without any response.
You are so shameless, you are not a man at all.
Useless stupid dog. "Smiling, Zhu Houzhao cursed a little unhappily.
Zhu Wuwu, Zhu Ye and others behind him all smiled helplessly.
This is not the recklessness when the country was founded to conquer the world. But the Ming Dynasty, the most dignified and noble prince in the world, doesn't pay attention to etiquette and manners.
A living barbarian and reckless.
But what can they do?
I tried to persuade you, but you didn’t listen at all.
As for having a tougher attitude, haha.
Facing the rising Crown Prince, how many people in the entire Ming Dynasty dare to be tough?
Moreover, although they did not say it, His Highness the Crown Prince made them feel closer and more at ease.
Zhu Hui and the other two people were greeted outside the mansion. After entering the mansion, Li Guang knelt down with a bang. He burst into tears and said like blood:
"Your Highness, Your Majesty Died! "
Zhu Hui and Zhang Fengfu also knelt down immediately, looking sad.
Zhu Houzhao, who was still talking wantonly, was startled and looked at the three of them.
The expressions of the others changed drastically. Except for Xu Ruowu who sighed softly in his heart, they all looked at the three people kneeling down in disbelief.
How is that possible?
Who dares to lie about such a big matter?
What's more, the person in front of me is a Duke of the State, the Governor of the East Factory, and the Commander of the Jinyi Guards.
What these three people say together will never be false.
Xu Ruowu was the first to kneel down. Except for the old man, who stepped aside, everyone else knelt down quickly, looking at the prince with sorrowful expressions and worried eyes.
"My father is dead? Haha, are you kidding?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Guang for two breaths in a daze, and suddenly laughed in disbelief.
Everyone was silent, and suddenly felt a palpitation in their hearts, as if they were facing a huge beast that was about to become angry. As a result, no one dared to speak for a while.
Looking at the silent crowd, the smile on Zhu Houzhao's face froze. He was stunned for a moment, his face twitched a few times, and his breathing became heavy.
The terrifying power was like a volcano or a giant beast that was about to lose control. He grabbed Li Guang's collar and lifted it up. He gritted his teeth and said, "How could my father die? How could my father die?"
Li Guang was like an ant meeting a real dragon, his whole body was sore and limp, and he had no strength at all.
With the grief in his heart, he cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, and he has been overworked in the past few years. The imperial doctor has long asked your Majesty to rest in peace, but your Majesty did not listen.
Years ago, His Majesty began to cough up blood.
Today, I received an urgent report that His Majesty was suddenly seriously ill and bedridden eight days ago.
But in order not to affect His Majesty's military expedition. Kublai Khan did not inform His Highness
Until midnight two days ago, His Majesty passed away. "
Zhu Houzhao's head was dizzy. He had always been a strong hand, but suddenly he lost his strength, and Li Guang collapsed.
Take a step back, his red eyes showing confusion and helplessness. Measures.
“My father is dead. "
"How could my father die? ”
"How could my father die?"
"I have no father."
"Go home, go home."
Muttering to himself, something like Thinking of something, he gained strength again and rushed outside the mansion quickly.
But he only ran a few steps and stopped again.
He looked at the people who were still kneeling, and then looked at the place where Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry was stationed in the distance.
Standing blankly for a while, he sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
“Ah~!”
I don’t care that there are other people around, I cry heartbreakingly.
“I have no father!”
Seeing the Crown Prince (His Royal Highness) crying like a child, everyone on the knees lowered their heads and started crying, no matter what they thought in their hearts.
There was a lot of crying.
‘Old Prince, have you known this for a long time? ’ As if he thought of something, Zhu Wuwu quietly sent a message saying nothing.
Through the emptiness of ghosts and gods, if you don’t see something in advance, then there is something wrong.
‘I warned Emperor Daxing, but he didn’t expect it to happen so soon. ’ Xu Ruowu sighed and replied helplessly.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Houzhao who was crying bitterly, but he was not surprised in his heart.
The real dragon has taken off, and the false old dragon will naturally give way.
Since ancient times, which true dragon has not been domineering and swept away all obstacles in the way?
Father, must come first.
The Emperor of Qin, Wu of Han, and Mingzu were all like this.
Hey, real dragons are not easy to get along with. Do you want to die...
Amidst the crying, everyone's thoughts couldn't calm down and flickered rapidly.
There are worries, sighs, heaviness, excitement and expectations, etc.
After a while, while crying, everyone realized something was wrong.
The old man standing not far away was the first to notice the abnormality and stared closely at Zhu Houzhao, who was still crying heartbrokenly.
A pair of eyes followed closely.
The power of heaven and earth changed from peaceful to restless, pouring into the body of the prince (His Royal Highness).
The speed is getting faster and faster. The aura on the Crown Prince (His Royal Highness) is like a sleeping dragon waking up and getting stronger at an extremely fast speed.
‘Your Highness is about to break through! You guard your surroundings, and I will cover it up to prevent Meng Yuan from discovering it. ’ The old man suppressed the surprise in his heart and decisively told everyone.
Everyone was shocked again and looked at the Crown Prince (His Royal Highness) with their mouths open.
If you are still crying regardless of your image, how can you make a breakthrough?
But no matter how hard it is to understand, no one dares to disturb such a major breakthrough, and they all start taking action.
In the end, the old man couldn't help but glanced at Zhu Houzhao as if he were looking at a monster, and flew towards the north gate.
Boom!
With a silent roar, the power of heaven and earth within a radius of ten miles gradually began to boil.
It was like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, pouring into Zhu Houzhao's body.
Making its aura more powerful and terrifying, it seems that a huge transformation is taking place.
“Ah~!”
“I have no father.”
