Chapter 304 Departure
"Zhang Yong."
After the brothers Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Yunwen left, the Crown Princess finally breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and rubbed her temples, then turned around to look at Zhang Yong.
Could the unidentified corpses in Hunan be the remains of what Prince Yan did?
"Don't panic, Princess. It just happened to be found in Hunan. It may not be those people."
Seeing this, Zhang Yong hurriedly walked to the Crown Princess' side and comforted her in a soft voice.
Wang Ganju's family consists of more than a dozen people. If it were them, how could they have only found these few unidentified corpses?
"But I still can't let it go in my heart."
The Crown Princess shook her head and reached out to touch her own irregular heartbeat.
An ominous premonition still lingered in her heart and did not dissipate for a long time.
"Your Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is also going with us. They may not be able to find out the truth."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yong began to persuade the Crown Princess to relax.
Zhu Yunhuan is also their man now. With three imperial grandsons traveling together, the youngest imperial grandson may not be able to find out where he is.
If it really doesn't work, just let Zhu Yunhuan and others do something.
This matter is really not worth making a fuss about.
"Zhang Yong, you go too."
When Zhang Yong mentioned Zhu Yunhuan, the Crown Princess was still a little worried and looked up at Zhang Yong seriously.
As a serving eunuch, it was possible for her to arrange Zhang Yong to accompany Zhu Yunwen.
Once in Hunan, he can also offer advice to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen has a simple personality and may not be able to defeat that brat Zhu Ming.
As for Zhu Yunhuan, she was even more worried.
It’s hard to say whose side this kid is on.
"Yes, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yong nodded affirmatively again.
If he could become a capable general beside the emperor's eldest grandson, he would surely be successful when the emperor's eldest grandson ascended the throne in the future.
The lives of four or five people are of great importance.
In order to investigate the matter as quickly as possible, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for the three brothers to set off as soon as possible.
Zhu Ming and his friends didn't have much time to prepare.
"Is everything packed?"
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little reluctant to send his three most precious grandchildren to such a far place as Hunan, and asked with red eyes.
Behind him were a group of civil and military officials who came to see him off.
They didn't know which of the three brothers would take over the position of crown prince from Zhu Yuanzhang, and they didn't dare to step forward to see them off easily.
I could only stand behind Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Grandpa Emperor, everything is ready."
Zhu Ming, Zhu Yunwen and the other two responded affirmatively. They went to investigate the case and did not prepare too many things, so they put them all in the car.
"Have you brought enough dry food?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded affirmatively, but still asked about the dry food with some concern.
Several of his elder brothers died of starvation, and this experience made him particularly concerned about food.
"Bring it all together."
Zhu Ming nodded again and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Maybe it was because they were about to leave again, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked more and more haggard at this moment. His body was a little hunched, and he looked a lot older in an instant.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the three brothers aside and asked them about their well-being for a long time, wanting to ask them about all the big and small things that happened along the way.
Zhu Ming and others could only respond and let Zhu Yuanzhang pat their hands.
"When can we leave?"
As Zhu Ming's bodyguard, Hu Wei stood behind Zhu Ming, holding a saber.
Looking at the deep affection between Zhu Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandfather and grandson, I found it hard to empathize with them and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late."
Yun Qi saw this and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang still refused to let him go. If he stayed any longer, he might not be able to leave the capital before dark, so he could only step forward and give him some careful advice.
Zhu Yuanzhang then let go of his hand and looked at himself writing about his three precious grandsons.
"Three grandchildren, please leave. It's getting late."
After persuading Zhu Yuanzhang, Yun Qi waved to the three brothers Zhu Ming, Zhu Yunwen and advised them to set off as soon as possible.
Even if they were the emperor's grandsons and had guards with them, they would still be in danger if they couldn't find a place to stay.
"Your Highness..."
When Zhu Ming and the others heard Yun Qi's urging, they knew they had to set off early. When they turned around and were about to get on the carriage, an elegant voice came again.
After Fang Xiaoru shouted, he stood out from the crowd and walked towards Zhu Ming.
Unlike other civil and military ministers, Fang Xiaoru was Zhu Ming's teacher. Regardless of whether Zhu Ming could become the crown prince, he was Zhu Ming's man.
So, he didn't need to hide anything and walked straight forward.
"This is the amulet I asked for my little grandson. Please take good care of yourself on this journey."
As Fang Xiaoru spoke, he took out an amulet from his arms and handed it to Zhu Ming.
The last time Zhu Ming went to Shanxi, he was unable to see him off, so this time he wanted to show his gratitude to him no matter what.
"Your Highness, take care on your journey."
Seeing Fang Xiaoru standing up, Qi Tai also walked out from the officials and bowed to Zhu Yunwen.
He could be considered half of Zhu Yunwen's teacher, and after so long, he had some feelings for him.
Since Fang Xiaoru was able to see off the young grandson of the Emperor Zhu Ming, he naturally had to say goodbye to the eldest grandson of the Emperor as well.
"It's really troublesome."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the ministers who were seeing his brother off, smiled indifferently, and turned back to his carriage.
"It's getting late. My lords, please go back. We should set off."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that even if he was reluctant, these children had to set off.
At this moment, he was feeling very conflicted. He wanted Zhu Ming to be with him, but he also hoped that they could make a difference.
As an emperor, he is old, so he is so sentimental.
Seeing Zhu Ming say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's all go back."
It has been more than ten years, and these three good children are about to leave me. It is inevitable that I feel a little sad now.
Zhu Ming and his entourage finally set off. Zhu Yuanzhang stood there and watched them for a long time.
At last, he sighed.
Hope everything goes well for them...
"Your Highness, there is someone."
As soon as the three people's carriage left the city gate, they saw two horses parked in front of the official road, blocking their way.
Seeing this, the coachman had no idea what was going on, so he had to slow down and turned back to report to the people in the carriage.
"Ignore him and go straight over."
Zhu Yunwen's carriage was in the lead. When he heard someone blocking the road, he casually waved his hand and asked the coachman to rush forward.
"But……"
The coachman was still a little hesitant, looking awkwardly at the person in front of him who showed no intention of giving way.
After all, no matter who it is, anyone who dares to block the official road outside the capital will be a good person.
"Zhang Yong."
Seeing that the coachman was still hesitant, Zhu Yunwen looked helplessly at Zhang Yong who was accompanying him.
I was ordered by the Emperor to investigate the case of the unidentified corpse in Hunan. Who would be so bold as to stand in my way?
"Yes, Your Highness."
