A black face suddenly appeared.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but be shocked.

When he looked closely, he saw that his amiable second uncle, who doted on his younger generation, was staring at him with a bright smile on his face and piercing eyes without any sway.

Zhu Yunxi immediately moved to the other side and immediately raised his fists.

Nod.

Bow.

bend over.

Zhu Yunxi, who kept in mind that he was a junior, spoke in an extremely respectful tone: "It's my second uncle who is here. My nephew paid homage to my second uncle and paid my respects to him."

Without waiting for Zhu Xi to raise his hand.

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly continued: "This time the Northern Expedition army defeated the Tartar royal court and gained a lot. The people below presented many Tatar treasures to my nephew, including a seven-treasure gold sword, which was inlaid with various gems.

It is transparent, bright and dazzling. The blade of the knife is made of hundreds of refined steel and can be cut by blowing."

While introducing the things he brought back, Zhu Yunxi carefully moved his steps again and retreated a little closer to the palace door.

He continued: "As soon as my nephew got the sword, he felt that it should go to the second uncle. As the saying goes, a sword matches a hero, and the second uncle is a rare hero of our Ming Dynasty.

"Second uncle, please be patient. Later, my nephew will have the sword delivered to you."

The skin and flesh on Zhu Xi's face were already squeezed together, and he stretched out his raised palm and slowly grasped it.

Zhu Yunxi tensed up and felt a crisp joint sound coming from his ears.

"OK!"

"OK!"

"What a nephew!"

Zhu Xi clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles on his face were tense.

That was what he was saying through gritted teeth.

"I don't know if that sword is sharp enough to cut someone's neck?"

Zhu Xi continued to speak with a face filled with flesh, gritted his teeth, and took two steps towards Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi felt that the back of his neck was getting cold for no reason.

It felt like a cool breeze was blowing on the back of my head.

He stretched out his feet again and groped towards the door of the palace. His hands were slightly bent and stretched in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Of course it is sharp. When I turn around and go to the place with the knife, I won't see anyone who doesn't like it."

It's just a matter of one knife. I will make sure that those thieves never come back and regret that they dared to disobey my second uncle's royal order!"

Zhu Yunxi also gritted his teeth, seemingly speaking in unison with Zhu Xi.

Zhu Feng sneered twice: "Of course there are thieves. I have seen many people and have long been displeased with them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi coldly.

Zhu Yunxi felt that he must offer more sticks of incense to the ancestors in this hall later, just hoping that he could live a peaceful life from now on.

"When the time comes, my nephew will definitely work with his second uncle to make those thieves who don't like him know how sharp the knife is and how red the flowers are."

Zhu Yunxi took another step back and had already stepped out of the palace gate with one leg.

Zhu Xi stepped forward again, his expression unchanged, and he stretched out his hand.

Snapped.

The slap of Prince Qin of the Ming Dynasty fell steadily and gently on the shoulder of the grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi trembled all over.

I was almost scared to death by my second uncle.

"Second uncle, my nephew still has to offer incense to his ancestors, and later he has to go to the palace to say hello to the old man..."

As a last resort.

no way.

Zhu Yunxi could only carry out the old man and the ancestors of the old Zhu family to suppress the second uncle.

However, Zhu Feng sneered repeatedly: "Don't worry, today is a good day, and there are still preparations in the palace. I will also offer incense to the ancestors with you later, and I think the ancestors are not afraid of our uncle and nephew delaying like this.

It’ll take a while.”

Unbearable!

Zhu Yunxi really couldn't stand it anymore.

His other foot has also jumped out of the temple.

"Second uncle, my nephew has never done anything harmful to you. To brother Bing, he is also a brother and sister, treating each other with sincerity and sharing weal and woe. You must not... don't scare your nephew."

While Zhu Yunxi was talking, his eyes were looking around.

damn it.

At this moment, none of the bastards who were guarding the Ancestral Temple were missing.

Zhu Fang put down his hands and put them behind his back: "My brother Bing, were you forced to stay outside the customs? Was he bombarded with artillery all day long? Or was he bombarded close to his scalp?"

"This is all done by Uncle Four!"

Zhu Yunxi shouted immediately, then closed his mouth and frowned.

He wondered how the second uncle, who had probably returned to Beijing recently, knew so much about things outside the customs.

He shouldn't have stayed in the Ancestral Temple after he returned to Beijing, except when the old man asked him to go out to do something.

Live in Ancestral Temple!

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi reacted, and then he felt a burst of regret.

I knew clearly that my second uncle had settled in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, so why didn't he bring a few more people here before?

He hurriedly explained: "My fourth uncle said that we need to develop some new tactics to deal with the wars that will happen in the Ming Dynasty. The artillery and infantry coordination, as well as the firearms battalion's Xu Jin suppression, were all decided by my fourth uncle."

Zhu Yunxi strictly abided by the attitude and principles of seeking truth from facts and continued: "My fourth uncle also said that Brother Bing and Jizu are my clan members and meritorious descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and they will lead the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

, those who set out to conquer foreign lands.

If you don’t practice hard at this time, how can you accomplish great things in the future?

Second uncle, you also know that fourth uncle has always been up to date on military affairs. Even if my nephew wants to bring Brother Bing back and reunite with you, he does not dare to ask for someone from his fourth uncle.

Besides, everyone from the Chang family, the Xu family, and the Tang family are all under the fourth uncle, including several brothers from the uncle's family of the King of Jin.

If my nephew comes back with Brother Bing, what will they say and what will they think of Brother Bing?

Are you saying that the eldest son of my second uncle’s family is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death and runs away from battle?”

Zhu Ming turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a frown: "Is this really what the fourth brother did? Didn't you instruct him to do it?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his hands and said sincerely: "My nephew, everything is true. If you don't believe me, you can go to Xinguan and ask Brother Bing."

I would never say that the reason why Zhu Shangbing was under the control of his fourth uncle was because he asked him to take his people to leave Daqing City and go outside the pass to prevent the Eastern Route Army from intercepting the Tatar Royal Court. This was how Brother Bing fell into the trap.

It was in the hands of my fourth uncle.

Zhu Ping hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe what Zhu Yunxi said for the time being.

Then, he stepped out of the palace door and stretched out his hand towards Zhu Yunxi again, hugging Zhu Yunxi's neck, bursts of laughter appeared in his mouth: "Is the knife you just mentioned real?"

As he spoke, Zhu Xi took Zhu Yunxi into the hall again.

"Let me just say, our Brother Xi is not that kind of person."

"You will ask someone to bring the knife over later. Second Uncle, I have to get familiar with it, otherwise it will take time to get it right."

It was temporarily confirmed that Zhu Yunxi was still innocent, and Zhu Xi returned to his former appearance.

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head: "Second uncle won't go to the palace?"

Zhu Xi curled his lips and said dullly: "I'm almost going to be the abbot of this temple. If I don't go, I won't save your grandpa the emperor from giving me another scolding when he sees my second uncle."

After saying this, Zhu Xi walked to the front of the confession and took three sticks of incense each for himself and Zhu Yunxi.

His expression was very pious, and he looked at the altar on the altar with an unchanging expression, solemn and respectful.

"Ancestors, you must protect my second son and avoid being punished by my old man in the future. I will burn more incense and paper money for you later. As descendants, we must not let our ancestors be short of money down here."

Zhu Xiang silently drew cakes for the ancestors of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yunxi stopped making a sound, lit the incense silently, inserted it respectfully into the incense burner, then knelt down on the futon in front of the altar, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, feeling enlightened in his heart.

A prayer for peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

Infused with incense.

Zhu Yunxi slowly stood up.

Only then did I realize that Zhu Xi had already walked out of the palace gate and was standing in the corridor outside.
