Zhu Gaosui was hanging on the flagpole, his entire person in a mess.
He wailed in his heart. Why hasn't anyone come to save me yet?
Just as he was about to despair, a fat figure appeared.
In the past, he hated this fatty very much.
He and his second brother, Zhu Gaoxu, agreed that this fatty had brought down the looks of the King of Yan's faction!
However, at this moment, he only felt extremely happy when he saw this fatty!
"Big brother, save me!"
"Uh…"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he saw Zhu Gaosui hanging on the flagpole.
Just as he was about to ask who was in charge of this formation, he saw his second son, Zhu Gaoxu, pull out an arrow and shoot it.
The arrow accurately hit the rope that was hanging Zhu Gaosui.
The rope snapped, and Zhu Gaosui fell from the high flagpole.
Qin Mu sat at the side and saw this scene. He couldn't help but praise his archery skills in his heart.
However, this fellow had embarrassed him, so he could not let him off!
"Men!"
"Tie this person up and hang him up with that trash!”
The Xuanwu Guard soldiers were a bunch of people who just wanted to watch the show.
When they heard Qin Mu's order, they were all on steroids. In no time, they pulled Zhu Gaoxu down from his horse and tied him up.
Zhu Gaoxu was originally secretly pleased with himself, but he didn't expect the other party to be so unconventional and even dared to kidnap him. He immediately panicked.
"Big brother!"
" They're rebelling. Run back and tell Father…"
Zhu Gaochi wasn't as reckless as Zhu Gaoxu. When he saw that Qin Mu was the official in charge of this place, he hurriedly walked in front of Qin Mu and bowed.
"I am Zhu Gaoxu, the heir of the King Yan Residence. I have been ordered by my father to bring back my inferior brother.”
"So it's the son of the King of Yan.”
Hearing Zhu Gaochi introduce himself, Qin Mu's attitude immediately changed.
"Aiyaya!"
"Look at this mess. We didn't know that the two of them were from King Yan's residence. How offensive!”
"Um…there's no need to hang him up. Just tie him up and throw him on the ground.”
"Your Highness, your brother has broken the military rules. He barged into our formation and beat up our soldiers…"
"Of course, these are all small matters!"
"I only have a group of ordinary soldiers under me. It's nothing to be beaten up.”
"However, your brother insulted the current Emperor and attacked our Great Ming Dynasty's politics. His words were filled with disrespect!”
"As an officer of the Great Ming Guard, how can I turn a blind eye to such a vile act?”
When Zhu Gaosui heard this, he was shocked silly.
"Big brother!"
"I didn't insult Imperial Grandfather, and I didn't attack Great Ming's politics. This kid is framing me!”
Of course, Zhu Gaochi knew what level his Third Brother was at. He wanted to attack the Great Ming Dynasty's politics?
He probably couldn't even explain the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty!
However, the reason why this officer said that was definitely because he wanted to take a piece of meat from the King Yan's residence.
Although Zhu Gaochi didn't know where this low-ranking officer got his courage from, he was extremely smart and had long heard the other party's implied meaning.
Thus, he didn't talk about anything else and directly approached Qin Mu to say something in a low voice.
"Just tell me, how much do you want!"
When Qin Mu heard this, he was stunned.
Was Zhu Gaochi so direct?
According to normal procedures, we shouldn't be arguing with each other and then haggling tactfully…
However, since the other party was so straightforward, Qin Mu didn't drag things out.
"One thousand taels of silver!"
"I don't want the Great Ming Treasure Notes, I want cash!”
Zhu Gaochi nodded.
"Good!"
"I'll send someone over now!"
"Can you let my two younger brothers go first?”
Qin Mu saw that the other party was so understanding, so he also took a step back.
"I trust His Highness 'character!”
"Release him!"
With Qin Mu's order, the Black Tortoise Guards immediately let him go.
When Zhu Gaochi saw his two younger brothers regain their freedom, he stuck close to Qin Mu and muttered a few more words.
"I'll definitely send the money over, but it's not compensation. It's a reward for your little soldier who was beaten up!”
Qin Mu nodded when he heard that and agreed to the other party's conditions.
Originally, he only wanted to help the soldier pay for his medical expenses. Now that his goal had been achieved, he naturally stopped.
As for Zhu Gaosui apologizing to the soldier…
To be honest, unless Qin Mu was crazy, he wouldn't have such thoughts.
Firstly, the soldier might not dare to accept it, and secondly, if he did so, the conflict would be transferred to the soldier.
He, Qin Mu, could endure the anger of the other party, but it didn't mean that a small soldier could.
If the other party played dirty and sent people to kill or cripple that soldier, it would go against Qin Mu's original intention.
"Understood!"
"Your family is big and you need face!”
Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth.
"It's good that you understand!"
After saying that, she held the hands of her two younger brothers.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go back!"
Not long after Zhu Gaochi and the others returned, they sent someone to deliver a thousand taels of silver.
Qin Mu rewarded the injured soldier with a hundred taels of silver on the spot. The remaining nine hundred taels were divided equally among the soldiers present.
Jiang Meng led a few Brocade Guard, hiding in the dark and quietly observing everything. He was interested in this young man in front of him.
No wonder the Emperor thought so highly of this person. This person was so young, yet he could do things so calmly and skillfully. It was really awe-inspiring!
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Jiang Qiong immediately rushed back to report everything that Qin Mu had done to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction and dismissed Jiang Meng.
After Jiang Qiong left, only Xiao Hu and Zhu Yuanzhang were left in the city gate tower.
Xiao Hu asked dumbly.
"Emperor, something's wrong!"
"The one who was beaten up was obviously that Tian Dapao. Why didn't he give all the 1,000 taels of silver to Tian Dapao? He even took out 900 taels of silver to give to the others. This is unfair!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"Erhu, do you know why we don't put you in an important position?”
To be honest, Erhu was also confused.
He had followed Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and under His Majesty's instructions, he had personally established the Jinyiwei.
However, as soon as he put up the frame, the Emperor took the Embroidered Uniform Guards from his hands and handed them over to others to manage.
In the past, he thought that the Emperor was trying to protect him.
Now that he heard the Emperor say this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Emperor, why is that?”
"Our loyalty to the Emperor can be seen by the sun. There's no falsehood at all!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"Because you're stupid!"
"For a commoner, a thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money!”
"This amount of money is enough for someone to take the risk and commit a massacre!”
"If our eldest grandson gives all the money to that little soldier, that little soldier won't even be able to see the sun tomorrow. He'll be killed and then robbed of the money!”
"Our eldest grandson is really smart. He's using this method to help that little soldier disperse his wealth and eliminate the disaster!”
"Uhh…"
Erhu was stunned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation.
Could Qin Mu really think of so many things, or was it his own imagination?
Just as the two of them were talking, a young eunuch ran over in a hurry.
"Emperor!"
"The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor said that the auspicious time has arrived, and the military exercise can begin!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face also showed excitement.
Finally, it's time to show off the might of my Great Ming Country to the surrounding small countries!
"Erhu!"
"Immediately order the various armies to begin the military exercise!”
