Edict prison.
Zhu Gaoyu held his waist and coldly looked at Sun Ruowei and Nie Xing, who was thrown to the ground in a rather miserable state.
Nie Xing was sprawled on the ground, his hair disheveled. His dirty prison uniform was stained with blood, and there was not a single good spot on his body. It was obvious that he had been severely punished by the imperial prison.
When Sun Ruowei saw her childhood playmate being tortured, her eyes were filled with fear and pity. She pulled the corners of her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Zhu Gaoyu smiled when he saw this. He walked forward and said to Sun Ruowei,
"I want to talk to him alone."
"Alright."
After confirming that Nie Xing was safe and sound for the time being, the huge rock in his heart was finally lifted.
Sun Ruowei nodded and turned to leave.
Zhu Gaoyu held his waist and paced back and forth in front of Nie Xing, who was now handcuffed by iron chains. He rubbed his chin with his small hand and thought for a moment. Then, he stood in front of Nie Xing and said with a smile.
"I know that your family members were killed by mistake during the national war.”
As soon as he said that, Nie Xing immediately looked up at the child in front of him in disbelief.
There was a strange feeling in his heart.
How could a seven or eight-year-old kid say such words?
Why did it feel so strange?
Zhu Gaoyu paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and continued in a calm tone,
"After that, you guys ran to Fujian and hid in the mountains to join Jianwen.”
"Every day, they plot to assassinate our emperor.”
After Zhu Gaoyu said this, he moved closer to the astonished Nie Xing and smiled.
"I'm still young, I'm not as scheming as you Jingnan orphans. I'll cut the crap, as long as you tell me where Jianwen is, I'll let you go.”
Nie Xing widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaoyu in disbelief.
How could a child who looked to be seven or eight years old say such words?!
He stared at the child's loose clothes with a complicated expression and took a closer look.
This was…Flying Fish Outfit?
It looked like the Thousand Households Flying Fish Garment.
Who exactly was this kid?
Nie Xing's dirty and bloodstained face was filled with curiosity and inquiry towards Zhu Gaoyu.
Who taught him that?
Could it be the dog emperor…?
At the thought of this, Nie Xing's dirty face pulled out a cold smile."
"Hehe, does the dog emperor have no one else to use?”
"Now, you're sending a child to ask questions?”
Zhu Gaoyu was stunned when he heard that. His small face remained expressionless and he did not say anything. Instead, he walked forward and directly punched Nie Xing in the stomach.
Nie Xing, who was handcuffed to the wall, let out a painful groan. Then, he raised his head and looked at him with fear in his eyes.
How could this be?
How could an eight-year-old child have such power?!
Nie Xing, who couldn't figure it out, suddenly sneered. He raised his head and said fiercely to Zhu Gaoyu,
"I originally thought that you were a big shot at such a young age. I didn't expect you to be an idiot!”
"We haven't been killed yet because we didn't say anything.”
"Do you think I'll tell you everything just because you brought Ruowei here?”
"You're dreaming!"
Zhu Gaoyu put his hands on his waist and laughed mockingly.
"Now that the world is at peace, you Jingnan orphans alone can't cause any trouble.”
"To tell you the truth, my emperor has always wanted to sit down and have a good chat with Jianwen.”
"To turn hostility into friendship."
"After all, this is their family matter. Why do you have to die for them?”
"Just tell me where Jianwen is and I'll let you out.”
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
"What a family matter!"
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing this, Nie Xing laughed out loud with his hands shackled. Then, he fell to the ground in a daze.
Zhu Gaoyu looked at Nie Xing's dilapidated appearance, which seemed to have lost the support of his spirit, and sighed softly. He shook his head, turned around, and walked out.
With his back facing the guy who was laughing maniacally in the prison, Zhu Gaoyu's mouth slowly revealed a strange smile.
Dealing with a crazy person like Nie Xing was really easy.
Did she really think that she was stupid enough to waste her breath on him just because she was young?
He was just using Nie Xing as bait to catch a big fish.
This guy probably didn't know it and was even proud of his fearlessness.
When he found an opportunity to 'rescue' him, he would be able to find the base camp of Jing Nan's orphan in Yingtian, especially a talent called Xu Bin. At that time, wouldn't Emperor Jianwen be captured by him?
"Let's go."
Zhu Gaoyu retracted his smile in satisfaction and then waved his hand at Sun Ruowei, who had been standing in place with a blank expression.
"Alright... Alright…"
Sun Ruowei came back to her senses and followed him with a tired expression.
The two of them walked out of the prison together and once again entered the courtyard of Zhao Prison. The sound of well-trained drills could be heard everywhere. Sun Ruowei carefully glanced at Zhu Gaoyu, who had an unpredictable expression and a smile on his small face. She wanted to open her mouth and ask a few questions about what happened today.
Before she could speak, she heard a surprised voice beside her.
"Eh, I forgot about them?”
Sun Ruowei looked in the direction Zhu Gaoyu was staring in puzzlement.
In front of them, there was a group of people who looked like monkeys training. They were muttering in a language that they could not understand and holding something that was not short.
Sun Ruowei was watching curiously when she saw the little person beside her suddenly jump up and run over happily, waving her little hands.
He quickly ran to the front of the group of strange-looking people and said a few words to the leading general. Then, the two of them laughed loudly.
Sun Ruowei walked forward and stood beside Zhu Gaoyu. She curiously looked at the monkey-like person and exclaimed,
"Why does he look like both a cat and a monkey?!”
Gordon smiled."
"I don't look like a cat or a monkey. I look like a tiger, okay?”
Sun Ruowei was shocked.
" He can speak our language?!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Gaoyu first laughed out loud with his hands on his waist, then waved his hand.
"It's not important. None of this is important!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Gordon and pointed at the gun in Gordon's hand with interest.
"Gordon, are those muskets in your hands?”
"Yes."
Zhu Gaoyu remembered that there seemed to be such a thing in history!
According to historical records, Zhu Di once passed by Macau Island when he was patrolling the Southeast Asia. He saw this group of Taixi people who were showing off their goods on the sea.
Zhu Di was surprised to find that they used firearms, which were much more powerful than crossbows, so he spent a lot of money to invite them over.
He directly named the leader of this group of people, Gordon, as a fourth-grade general. He trained day and night and taught the soldiers of Ming Dynasty how to use firearms.
He hoped that when the Ming Dynasty had its own firearms team, they would no longer have to worry about the enemy cavalry.
When Zhu Gaoyu thought of this, it was as if he had remembered something very important. He clapped his hands and said something to Sun Ruowei, who was still in a daze. Then, he ran toward Gordon, who was not far away.
"Wait for me here. Don't wander around.”
Zhu Gaoyu hurriedly ran in front of Gordon. His small hand casually reached for the front of his shirt and took out a stack of square blueprints. He placed them on Gordon's large hand and said with a solemn expression.
"Hehe, Brother Gordon, let me show you something good.”
