Chapter 945 Attacking the Empress Dowager

After roughly discussing a framework, Zhu Di saw that it happened to be lunch time, so he left the meal.

The food at Guanglu Temple is much better than before, but Fang Xing criticized the dried fish dish as something that can only be fed to cats.

The three of them ate in the small room, listening to Fang Xing commenting on the food one by one, Yang Rong was particularly unhappy.

"There is a chef at Xinghe Bo's house, when are you going to treat me?"

When Yang Rong said this, Xia Yuanji said puzzledly: "That's right, Xing Hebo, it seems that your family hasn't invited guests for the removal of two children?"

Fang Xing gave up on fried dried fish, and used fish soup to make rice. After eating in two bites, he said, "My family doesn't even have enough tables and benches. I borrowed them last time when my child was one year old. Please treat me with wine!"

After chatting for a while, Yang Rong said: "There are a lot of open spaces outside the city, and people will definitely settle there in the future. The planning of this square city is also a big trouble!"

"What's the trouble? Just follow the instructions in the city."

Xia Yuanji has gained a lot during this period, and he said happily: "The household department will build the ones that are close to the market, and then rent them out. It is a good thing for the people in the periphery to build houses. Slowly, they will gather into a square market, and the market will also be able to If you find a helper, you can kill multiple birds with one stone!"

After the meal, the three of them dispersed separately, waiting to finalize the matter after the year.

Fang Xing went to find Zhu Zhanji, and the two murmured for a long time before returning home.

...

Jia Quan has a guard team of more than 50 people in his hands, which is Zhu Zhanji's personal defense force.

The guards are also going to celebrate the New Year, so Jia Quan asked Zhu Zhanji for instructions, and they were on duty in different shifts.

"Your Highness is traveling and calling everyone back."

Yu Jia went back after finishing her tough confession. Recently, Jin Ying, relying on her eyes and quick hands, gradually entered Zhu Zhanji's eyes, which troubled him very much.

Jia Quan was drowsy, so he cheered up when he heard the words, and sent someone out to inform the guards who had returned home to return to the army.

Zhu Zhanji's travel is generally not troublesome, it's just a cavalry team.

Jia Quan was also used to it, and so were the guards, surrounded Zhu Zhanji out of the city gate, and then walked slowly towards the north.

The weather is still very cold, everything is withered, and all we see along the way are bleak scenes.

At this time, Beiping City hadn't taken advantage of the advantages of the capital to gather a large number of people to settle down, and only occasionally saw a few villages along the way. Some farmers stood by the fields and pointed, probably talking about farming after the spring.

After passing a few villages, there are more woods on the roadside. But when the popularity of Beiping City gradually rises, most of these forests will be cut down.

Zhu Zhanji first pointed to the woods and said: "When you go back, remember to remind me that these woods will be under a ban, and you are not allowed to cut them down at will."

Fang Xing reminded Zhu Zhanji that if the deforestation and grazing in the north are not controlled, the future Beiping city will be full of sand and stones.

Flying sand and rocks was an exaggeration, but Fang Xing looked very serious at the time, so Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to prepare to suggest vegetation control in order not to be drowned by sand and rocks.

Jia Quan quickly wrote it down, and then looked at the empty road ahead, feeling that today was not a trip, but an inspection.

I ate too much wine and meat during the Chinese New Year, and I had more time to rest. The guards were also lazy, and they only wanted to change shifts after returning home.

There are dense forests on both sides of the front. When Zhu Zhanji headed into the middle, Jia Quan suddenly shook his body and shouted: "Protect Your Highness!"

The guards were still in a daze: Nima, nothing seems to be going on here, Jia Quan, are you crazy?

But in Jia Quan's eyes, the missing snow on the top of the trees is a warning sign.

It snowed just the day before yesterday. At this time, there are very few pedestrians, and no one will enter the forest.

How did the snow fall?

In an instant, the guards rushed towards Zhu Zhanji, ready to surround him.

"kill!"

But their reaction was still half a beat late, Jia Quan just gave the warning, and more than ten riders rushed out of the woods.

When he saw the bows and arrows in those people's hands, Jia Quan shouted in despair: "Protect Your Highness and go back to the city! Liu Mazi's people will stop the enemy with me!"

A big man with a pockmarked face drew his knife and shouted, "Follow me!"

Half of them went to escort Zhu Zhanji,

But Zhu Zhanji didn't move, he just turned around and looked at the reactions of these guards, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

The attackers were all covered with something like a tulle, except for two holes for the eyes.

With a bow and arrow in hand, it only takes one wave. At such a short distance, Jia Quan felt that most of his group would fall down.

But these enemies suddenly put away their bows and arrows and went around from the right, leaving Jia Quan completely confused.

"Your Highness..."

Zhu Zhanji pushed aside the guards who blocked him, rode out slowly, and Jia Quan looked at the group of 'enemies' who stopped not far away, and said in shame: "Your Highness, I have neglected my duty."

"My lord, it's hard for a person with a sock strangled!"

Xiaodao yelled and took the stocking off his head with difficulty, and then studied it.

The so-called don't go out without wearing silk stockings is only aimed at people with large pores and leg hair longer than East Asian men.

So Xiaodao threw the stockings on the ground without any regrets, and the horse's hoof moved slightly, trampling the stockings under his feet, and also trampled Jia Quan's confidence.

"It's a mess! Wine bags and rice bags!"

An 'enemy' took off his hood and sneered, Jia Quan said dejectedly: "Uncle, I think..."

Fang Xing said coldly: "Do you think Beiping is safe? Do you think no one in Daming has any ill intentions towards the grandson? Do you think that your little life can be exchanged for the grandson's life?"

If it was really a thief just now, after a round of bows and arrows, the broken Jia Quan and others would definitely not be able to stop the other party from chasing and killing Zhu Zhanji.

Thinking of this, Jia Quan was covered in cold sweat, got off his horse and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I am guilty."

Zhu Zhanji said indifferently: "It's too late to practice, and there are a lot of pretentiousness. Let's take turns to enter Jubaoshanwei later."

Nima! Judging by Fang Xing's expression, it was clear that he was extremely dissatisfied with them. If he entered Jubaoshanwei, he would definitely not be able to get out without losing a few layers of skin!

That Liu Mazi raised his head and said, "Uncle Xinghe, this is a sneak attack! If there is an enemy, we will definitely have an early warning. This is not the case this way!"

Fang Xing sneered, "You are right, Fang Wu!"

"master!"

Fang Wu jumped off the horse and bowed to obey the order.

Fang Xing pointed at Liu Mazi with a horsewhip and said, "Run for five miles first, and then fight with fists and kicks. If he thinks he is good at swords and guns, then let's do it with him too!"

Liu Mazi was taken aback, and unsheathed the knife together, eagerly saying, "Fight first before running away!"

"Liu Mazi, shut up!"

Jia Quan came up and stopped Liu Mazi, turned around and pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, please punish me."

Zhu Zhanji looked at these guards coldly: "You are so brave that you won't fall behind, but you are not organized, frizzy and chaotic. Jia Quan, go back and get ten sticks per person!"

"Thank you Your Highness!"

Jia Quan quickly thanked him, but Pockmark Liu glanced at Fang Wu unconvinced, and then knelt down to thank him.

For such dereliction of duty, Zhu Zhanji's ten-stick punishment is considered light. If he is really angry, he only needs to beat these guards back, and that is the real punishment.
