AWB Chapter 1346
Chapter 1346
The first man leaped off his horse and knelt before Lan Yu's warhorse, clasping his hands in a fist salute: "Father gave the order, and I have immediately led my troops here! They are all men I personally taught and trained; they are unstoppable, even by gods and Buddhas! I will obey your orders, Father!"
Upon seeing this, Lan Yu immediately threw his head back and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Good! Today is to get back what we deserve, and also to get back what you deserve!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the other military officers beside him and said, "Looks like my men arrived the fastest! Haven't you guys been on the battlefield for too long? You can't even shout anymore? Hahahaha!"
The other military commanders were ridiculed by him in this way.
But none of them were angry: "Lan Yu! You old codger, you're so smug!"
After all, everyone knows that Lan Yu is the most ruthless killer on the battlefield and the most arrogant in Yingtian Prefecture. He is not afraid of the newly enthroned emperor, let alone the former Hongwu Emperor. His arrogance is based on the more than 1,800 adopted sons he has, his influence, and his recklessness.
Of course, the difference is that the Hongwu Emperor of the previous dynasty could suppress anyone he wanted if he was unhappy.
And now... no one can suppress him!
However, soon, in addition to Lan Yu's adopted sons and confidants bringing troops, other dukes and marquises, who had accumulated their military merits, also flocked to the garrisons and training posts outside Yingtian Prefecture.
On the open ground not far from the city gate of Yingtian Prefecture, more and more people and horses gathered, creating a magnificent and imposing sight!
But at this time.
However, a man rode alone from the direction of Yingtian Prefecture City, finally reining in his horse and stopping in front of Lan Yu. He clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to Duke Liang, I have just received news from Yingtian Prefecture... His Majesty did not stay in the palace, but had already left Yingtian Prefecture earlier under the covert protection of the Dragon Guard and Tiger Guard!"
Although Zhu Yunwen secretly led the Dragon Guard and Tiger Guard out of the city without alerting anyone, and left Zhao Feng in the palace to provide cover, his presence was still a big target, and the nobles of Huaixi would definitely keep an eye on his movements.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts were quickly discovered.
Upon hearing this news, everyone's expressions showed a slight surprise.
Lan Yu frowned and said, "They ran away so early? Are they afraid that if we go to the palace to confront them, they'll abandon the palace altogether?"
He clearly didn't quite understand either.
Logically speaking, if the other side already knew their actions and intentions, they should know that they were vulnerable to attack outside! The palace was the safest place, wasn't it?
However, now that they know Zhu Yunwen has left the city, the nobles of Huaixi don't have time to think about such things. The most important thing is to ascertain Zhu Yunwen's movements:
Which way did he run?
"Yes, where did it run off to? Tell me quickly so we can go after it!"
"..."
Everyone eagerly started asking questions. Although the person had escaped, it wasn't a big problem. Once the direction was determined, all that was needed was to catch Zhu Yunwen.
The messenger immediately replied, "Reporting to you gentlemen, the news is... His Majesty went to the Alchemy Department!"
"The Alchemy Department...?"
"What is he planning to do by suddenly going to the Alchemy Department again?"
Upon hearing this answer, everyone frowned in bewilderment, clearly not understanding what the young emperor Zhu Yunwen was up to.
Of course, someone soon burst into laughter as if they had heard a joke: "The Alchemy Department... Hahahaha!"
"Could it be that they realized they were overestimating themselves, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and now they're hoping to swallow some magic pills to see if they can be saved? Hahahaha!"
The sound of his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic remarks) and laughter clearly influenced the others, who couldn't help but join in the laughter: "Maybe it's really true! Hahahaha! What elixir? He's so ruthless to us, forget about elixir, even the Heavenly King himself can't stop our iron cavalry today!"
