"Phew…"
"Phew!"
"Stop!"
"Hiss, what a handsome horse. Child, who are you? Why are you here? Do you know that this is an important place for military affairs?”
At the outskirts of the capital, Zhu Zhen was stopped in front of the camp.
As fast as lightning, Zhu Zhen rode the Snow Treading Dark Stallion he had just obtained out of the city from the Ying Tian Prefecture and arrived here. Along the way, the speed of the big black horse was extremely fast, like lightning.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Zhu Zhen's shocking strength, he would have grabbed the reins firmly and clamped the horse's body with his legs to stabilize himself from falling off the horse's back. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to withstand the speed of this big black horse.
"Dark Cloud is indeed a good horse. Isn't this much more awesome than the cattle and horses in the future?”
Zhu Zhen patted his Dark Stallion and thought to himself. He named the horse Black Cloud. He followed the King of Yan out of the city. Although the King of Yan's horse was also a thousand-li horse, its speed was still not as fast as Zhu Zhen's Snow-treading Dark Stallion.
As a result, Zhu Zhen had already reached the entrance of the camp, but Zhu Di had yet to rush over.
"Kid, I'm asking you a question. Why aren't you answering?”
Just as Zhu Zhen was still sighing at the speed of this horse, the commander-in-chief who looked like an officer at the gate said to Zhu Zhen. His eyes were still fixed on Zhu Zhen's Dark Stallion, and his gaze was filled with evil intentions.
"Oh, I came out with my brother. He's behind us.”
Zhu Zhen replied and glanced at the other party.
"Brother?"
"What are you doing here with your brother?"
"My brother came to report to the military camp, so I accompanied him here to take a look.”
Zhu Zhen replied.
"Nonsense. The military camp is an important place. How can you come and go as you please? You even came to take a look. Do you think this is a theater by the Qinhuai River?”
Hearing this, the other party's face sank as he spoke to Zhu Zhen.
"Uh…you're right!"
Zhu Zhen nodded in agreement.
"You…"
The other party obviously did not expect Zhu Zhen to say this.
"Ahem, child, is your brother here to join the army?”
"That's right. Protect the country, go into battle to kill the enemy, and protect my Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Zhen replied.
"Good, well said!"
Hearing Zhu Zhen's words, the other party gave him a thumbs up.
"Hiss, child, do you know that going to the battlefield is a very dangerous thing? If your brother goes to the battlefield, he will have a slim chance of survival. Furthermore, the rules in the army were strict, and it was extremely difficult to advance. Come to think of it, your brother probably joined the army to gain military achievements and get an official position, right?”
"Of course. It's natural to go into battle to kill enemies in order to make contributions.”
"Hehe, kid, I have a shortcut here. Do you want your brother to live a better life in the army?”
That person's expression suddenly changed. After which, he looked at Zhu Zhen and said with a shifty look.
When Zhu Zhen heard this, he frowned at first, then immediately retracted his gaze, and an innocent expression appeared on his face.
"Of course I do. Do you have any ideas?”
"Hehe, child, there is naturally a way.”
Seeing that Zhu Zhen had fallen for the trap, the person immediately revealed a smug expression and looked at Zhu Zhen.
"Kid, I like this horse of yours very much. How about this? You give this horse to me, and I'll give this horse to my superior. As long as my superior is happy, your brother will be promoted by him. At that time, not only will he be able to live comfortably, but he will also have more opportunities to make contributions. What do you think?”
"After all this time, you've taken a fancy to my horse?”
When Zhu Zhen heard this, he had a look of disdain.
"May I know who your superior is?”
Zhu Zhen looked at the other party and asked.
"My superior, I told you his name. He was the brother-in-law of the King of Kaiping, the uncle of the current Crown Prince, and was now the Commander-in-Chief of the Krupp Conquest General, General Lan Yu.”
"Kid, have you heard of it before?"
"Blue Jade?"
Hearing the name Lan Yu, how could Zhu Zhen not know? Lan Yu was one of the famous generals in the early Ming Dynasty and was also Old Zhu's capable general in the later Hongwu period.
In history, Northern Yuan was eventually destroyed by Lan Yu. In the battle at Fish-Catching Sea, Northern Yuan was defeated. It could be said that his military exploits were brilliant and recorded in history.
This person's talent could not be said to be low. He was the person Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the most after Chang Yuchun and Xu Da. However, this person had a tragic ending. The Blue Jade Case, where he was killed, was called one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty by the history circle. Because of the Blue Jade Case, the number of people killed was very wide, as many as 15,000 people.
Therefore, when he heard Lan Yu's name, Zhu Zhen could not help but raise his eyebrows.
To be honest, he believed what the other party said. Lan Yu was a person with strength, but his arrogant personality and extravagant and licentious nature were also true.
In history, Lan Yu was proud of his achievements and raised many slaves and adopted sons in the later stages, taking advantage of the situation to act tyrannically. He had also forcefully occupied Dongchang people's fields and was questioned by the censor. Lan Yu was furious and chased the censor away. Each and every one of them was quite detestable.
In history, Zhu Biao still had Lan Yu's chance of survival. It was still fine if someone could suppress such a valiant general. Unfortunately, in history, Zhu Biao died young. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his grandson could not suppress Lan Yu, so there was the later Lan Yu case.
To put it simply, did Blue Jade die unjustly in history? Unjustly!
But he deserved it!
However, what Zhu Zhen did not expect was that Lan Yu had yet to become famous, and she had already begun to condone her subordinates 'actions?
"General, you're not lying to me, right?"
Zhu Zhen's eyes flashed as he looked at the other party.
"Why would I lie to you? You're just a child. Why would I lie to you?”
When that person heard this, he was a little unhappy and said to Zhu Zhen.
"Alright, if what you say is true, then I'll give you this horse.”
Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes and looked at the other party.
"Really?"
"Of course, but you have to keep your word and take care of my brother in the future.”
"Of course, child. You're so sensible, how could I lie to you?”
The other party was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Zhu Zhen's horse and drooled. He was a soldier and naturally understood horses. This horse was obviously a good horse.
Moreover, he was really Blue Jade's man. Right now, he wanted this horse to give it to Blue Jade as a favor. It was likely that Blue Jade would like this horse very much when she saw it.
Thinking of this, he was overjoyed.
