Chapter: 63
Another young jailer, the son of the old jailer, with tears all over his face, was dragged in by two Jinyi guards like a dead pig, and thrown in front of Zhu Gaoxu, all his limbs were broken.
There was a foul smell, and he was already incontinent from fright.
"My father hung him over the wall last night. I put him on the pulley of the donkey cart and left. When I got there, I found that he was gone. I really don't know where he is!"
The young jailer begged repeatedly, but seeing that he couldn't spit out more, Ji Gang dragged him out with his own hands.
"Ji Gang, take Jin Yiwei to search!"
"Ma He, order the Army Commander of the Five Cities and the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion to fully assist Jin Yiwei."
"Follow the order!"
Ji Gang and Ma He looked at each other and replied with a salute.
The two were about to go out and start to act, but Zhu Di ordered again.
"Transfer Zhongyiwei to me again, and I will lead the team myself!"
"Your Majesty!" Ma He was surprised for a moment.
Zhu Di twisted his hands together, leaned on the knife, and shouted sharply.
"go!"
Ma He and Ji Gang's hearts froze, and they didn't dare to speak out to dissuade them.
Not long after, a large number of armored soldiers appeared outside the imperial prison in an organized manner.
Zhongyiwei was a personal guard force that mixed together the original guards of the Yan Palace, the incorporated Mongol Tatar officials, and even the surrendered Songpan Rangers during the Jingnan War when Zhu Di was still the King of Yan.
There are not many of them, just over 3,000, but all of them are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They can wear sixty catties of armor and fight on foot, and they can also fight on horseback for more than ten rounds without being defeated. The will is extremely tenacious.
In the Battle of Dongchang, Zhu Di led this army to go around and attack Hongwu's famous general He Fu's central army. Surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, he was still able to fight his way out.
Zhu Di even reproduced the story of Zhang Liao's powerful shock in Xiaoyaojin. Hearing the words of the loyal guard cavalry, "The king of Yan wants to abandon me", he turned around and rode his horse to kill the pursuers. He pulled the cavalry onto his horse and retreated completely. .
It was also like this, when Zhu Gaoxu saw the appearance of Zhongyiwei, he knew that something was going to happen.
No matter how mediocre Zhu Gaoxu's intelligence was, he knew at this moment that Zhu Di already knew about his apprenticeship with Jiang Xinghuo.
As for why he knew, it might be because his memorial, which was clearly not written by him, was exposed, or it might be because of other reasons.
And there is no doubt that Zhu Di attaches great importance to Jiang Xinghuo!
Zhu Gaoxu looked at several Kongwu powerful eunuchs putting on armor for Zhu Di, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, he tentatively said to Zhu Di who was facing away from him.
"Father, I'll go find it with you, too."
"You don't have to look for it."
Zhu Di looked at the breastplate tied on his chest, the willow leaf-shaped armor reflected a deep luster, he said coldly.
"You just squat in the prison, and I will let you squat for the rest of your life this time."
Tunning the shoulders tightly, Zhu Di twisted the skirt armor with his hands. After confirming that he could move freely, he took his long knife from the eunuch and pulled out the sheath. The dark golden long knife was covered with tiny scratches.
"This is the knife that my grandfather, General Xu Da, passed on to me. It was forged from the meteorite of ten thousand years. I wanted to pass it on to you, but now it seems... Humph! What an idiot!"
