After Crown Prince Zhu Biao came out of the royal study, he immediately sent people to tell his uncles that his sixth brother Zhu Zhen was looking for helpers.
He went to Hu Chongfei's palace to find his sixth brother Zhu Zhen, planning to accompany him to the Xuanwu Lake camp.
It was his sixth brother's first time leading an army, so he had to take good care of his big brother.
After all, just like what his father had said, father and son were soldiers in battle.
With Sixth Brother's martial arts, as long as he practiced the art of marching and setting up formations, he would definitely become a general in the future and could guard a region for Great Ming.
In the future, when he became the emperor, he would be able to save a lot of trouble.
Now, even if he was going to lose, he shouldn't lose too badly, lest he dampen his sixth brother's spirit.
Therefore, Zhu Biao wanted to find a few generals and use these three days to personally teach his sixth brother how to set up formations.
Just as he arrived at Consort Hu Chong's palace, he bumped into his second and third brother Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi were dressed in armor. It looked like they were going to march and fight.
"Big brother, you're here?"
The second brother, Zhu Bi, called out affectionately when he saw his elder brother, Zhu Biao.
"Are you two here to look for Sixth Brother?" Zhu Biao asked.
The third brother, Zhu Xi, continued,"Yes, but unfortunately, we're late. Sixth Brother left early in the morning."”
"He should be worried about the Martial Arts Competition and couldn't sleep. He went to the military camp early to prepare.”
It had to be said that Zhu Rong's imagination was really good!
The second brother, Zhu Xi, grumbled," Sixth Brother is really too much. Father says every day that father and son will go to war, but he doesn't listen at all. If he wants to go to war, he doesn't even tell his brothers. He's really a bookworm."”
"However, this kid is really good. I heard that he beat up Fu Youde, the Marquis of Yingchuan, yesterday!”
"Big Brother, you were there at that time. Tell me, did Sixth Brother's martial arts suddenly improve?”
The third brother, Zhu Xi, was also excited." Big Brother, I didn't expect Sixth Brother to be so successful. He's usually a fool, but he's not sloppy when he fights.”
"This kid is really shameless. Not only did he beat up Fu Youde, but he also suppressed those generals until they didn't dare to make a sound. Good job!"
Zhu Biao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the two brothers sing in unison and praise his sixth brother's bravery.
"What, you two also want to go to the military camp and compete with those generals?”
Zhu Rong was very self-aware and smiled awkwardly.""Sixth Brother will be fine in a one-on-one fight. Third Brother and I won't join in the fun.”
"However, when it comes to leading troops to war, Third Brother and I can still contribute.”
"We have discussed it, each of us will lead a Hundred Household Battalion to help Cang Laoliu.”
"No matter what, the two of us have been training with our uncles before. This bit of ability is not inferior to those generals.”
Zhu Biao nodded his head in satisfaction at the unity of his brothers." Alright, I'll agree on behalf of Sixth Brother. Let's go to the camp at Xuanwu Lake to meet Sixth Brother."”
When they arrived at the Xuanwu Lake camp, they did not see the shadow of the sixth brother, Zhu Zhen.
Instead, they encountered many dukes and generals waiting not far from the entrance of the camp.
There were Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, Deng Yu, Duke of Wei, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Tang He, Marquis of Zhongshan, Fu Youde, Marquis of Yingchuan, Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, and more than ten commanders and thousands of generals.
Other than the marquises who were leading the troops outside, almost everyone else had arrived.
Three of the six founding dukes had come. The grand display shook the entire Ming Dynasty.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao didn't dare to delay and quickly greeted everyone.
All the marquises and generals were one step ahead of him and knelt down.
They said in unison,
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Zhu Biao stepped forward and reached out to help him." Uncles, please get up."”
"Generals, please rise."
Zhu Biao had followed Zhu Yuanzhang's orders and sent people to invite these dukes and generals over.
Some of them had rushed over after hearing the news.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao couldn't see Zhu Zhen and was a little confused. Logically speaking, he should have arrived at the military camp early in the morning.
Before Zhu Biao could speak, Duke Cao Li Wenzhong had already asked.
"Your Highness, why haven't I seen His Highness King Chu?”
"Us old brothers heard that His Royal Highness King Chu was going to lead troops for the martial arts practice, so we specially came early to wait for His Royal Highness King Chu's orders.”
Deng Yu, Duke of Wei, also said," That's right. I've heard that His Highness the King of Chu is very skilled in martial arts. I'd like to see it."”
The Crown Prince Zhu Biao was stumped by their question.
At this moment, Li Jinglong walked out of the military camp. Zhu Biao stopped him and said,""Jiujiang, did you see Sixth Brother Zhu Zhen at the military camp?”(Li Jinglong, also known as Jiujiang)
Li Jinglong was 16 years old at the time. He was handsome and had a graceful bearing. He was a handsome young man.
He was also wearing the general's purple flower armor, looking very imposing.
"Crown Prince Bing, I just went to visit the King of Yan and didn't see the King of Chu.”
So the Crown Prince didn't know the whereabouts of the Sixth Prince Zhu Zhen.
Duke Cao Li Wenzhong sighed and said,"Your Highness, we have just searched the barracks.”
Li Jinglong's brain was the quickest. He smiled and said,"Your Highness, I believe that His Highness King Chu is already on his way and will arrive soon.”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao couldn't wait any longer. He thought for a moment and said to the second and third brothers,""Second brother, third brother, take your personal guards to look for sixth brother. After you find him, bring him to the camp quickly without delay.”
"Yes, my brother will go immediately."”
He pulled the Third Prince Zhu Rong and turned to leave.
"Your Highness, I'll go with the two of you." Li Jinglong said.”
Zhu Biao nodded." Go back quickly."”
It was not a good idea for so many dukes and marquises to wait at the entrance of the camp. Zhu Biao then called out to Li Wenzhong and the others," Uncles, General, let's wait in the main tent."”
On the other hand, Zhu Zhen left the palace gate early in the morning with the gold medal given by his father.
He was used to keeping a low profile, so he wore casual clothes and did not bring any followers.
He did not know that his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, and his brother, Zhu Biao, had specially invited so many dukes and generals to help him.
Zhu Zhen had already thought of finding some helpers.
Apart from the soldiers in the military camp, Zhu Zhen also planned to find a few other helpers.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to go to the Xuanwu Lake camp.
He first went to the yamen of Heaven Ying Prefecture and found his cousin, Hu Xian.
When Zhu Zhen did not leave the Imperial Palace, Hu Xian was very leisurely. When he was in a good mood, he would stroll around the streets all day.
If he didn't want to wander around, he would stay in the government office and brag to his colleagues.
Seeing Zhu Zhen, Hu Xian was especially happy.
Following his cousin wangye, he ate and drank well and was very carefree.
"Zhu Liulang, you came out again?"
He still addressed Zhu Zhen as Zhu Liulang, afraid that others would find out.
However, today Zhu Zhen said arrogantly," Yes, I can leave the palace freely these few days. Just follow behind me and run errands for me.”
Hu Xian was overjoyed." Yes!"
Zhu Zhen said," Oh right, go and inform those Hu merchants, as well as Left Hand and the others, to gather at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. I'll treat everyone to some spiced beef."”
Hu Xian was overjoyed when he heard that there would be spiced beef to eat, and he ran away happily.
Halfway through, she turned back." Liu Lang, I forgot to tell you. Last time, you asked me to take care of that little bean sprout, but after that…"
This was the good thing about Hu Xian. Whatever Zhu Zhen instructed, he would definitely carry it out.
Zhu Zhen knew what he wanted to say and interrupted him," I know. She was recruited by the Duke of Wei's Estate to be a servant girl.”
Hu Xian slapped his forehead and said,"
"I almost forgot. You are the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei now. I believe you have seen Little Beansprout.”
"Since you know, I'll leave first.”
After Hu Xian left, Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry. He slowly strolled along the streets.
After walking for a while, they suddenly met a familiar figure. It was Little Beansprout.
