It was still early, and the sun had just jumped halfway from the east. A group of dozens of horses came to the outside of Yiwulu Mountain in dust.

The leader was wearing a brocade robe, a golden crown, with a heroic face and a bright look. Ce rode a white horse and hung an ancient sword. Although his face was full of exhaustion, he was not old.

He is roughly sixteen or seventeen years old.

The knights around were all tall and majestic, with dozens of cavalry, but there was a magnificent wind lingering.

"Report to Your Highness, that Zhao Zhuangshi's sect must be in this Yiwulu Mountain."

Next to the boy, Yiqing Zhongnian looked at the mountains near him and said respectfully: "That Zhuangshi Zhao is extraordinary and the horse is far from reaching the level of war. The stalking sent by Hong Chengchou lost the trace of Zhuangshi Zhao early on. However, based on some traces left along the way, the subordinates came up with inferences."

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but look at the stretching mountains and nodded slightly.

Although he was young, his eyes were quite mature and steady.

He said: "However, although Yiwulu Mountain is not a famous mountain or a river, it stretches for hundreds of miles. If you want to find someone from it, isn't it a needle in a haystack?"

But after thinking about it, his eyes lit up and said, "Didn't Hong Chengchou say that Zhao Zhuangshi wants to go back to the mountain to practice Taoism? I guess there must be a Taoist temple in the mountain. Come, spread out and search through the mountain. There must be fleeing people in this mountain, and some of them must know."

"Your Highness is wise!"

So dozens of cavalry were in order, and the teams of three or five were scattered into Yiwulu Mountain.

Beside the woods, there were only the boy in brocade robe and ten people guarding him.

The man who spoke before said, "The sun is about to rise, and it is the time when Qiu Laohu turns back. The weather is too hot. Your Highness's daughter's son, why not find a cool place to rest first."

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I know what you mean. Don't worry. Although this place is poisoned by Jiannu, it is the country of my Ming Dynasty. Besides, when Zhao Zhuangshi killed him, Jiannu was already scared. It was too late to hide at this time, so how could he dare to come here in a big way?"

The man immediately shut up when he heard this.

The boy said again: "Just rest by the forest, waiting for the news."

After saying that, he turned over and got off the horse, and walked leisurely in the garden, he had the posture of a dragon and tiger. He did not look like a coward who was not touching the spring water, but was as handsome as he was.

Just sat on the ground under a tree.

Unconsciously, the dust on the ground was dirt, and the brocade robe was quite down-to-earth.

Seeing this, the other ten people took two people by their side with them. The other seven people scattered and hid around them.

With his back against the trunk, the young man in brocade robe suddenly sighed: "The Ming Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and it is a time when Jiannu is rampant and natural disasters are frequent. The courts are fighting for power and profit. They ignore the people in the world. The father has worked hard to sit high, but he is inevitably blinded by the people below. I often lament the hardships of the times, for fear of being unable to turn the tide."

"Your Highness's ambition, we swear to follow you to the death!"

The people around him looked sane, showing their sacred spirit. The spirit of morality arose naturally.

"I know you are loyal to you." The young man in brocade robe smiled and said, "But you and I are both ordinary people, with limited strength and wisdom. This country is so decayed. How difficult is it to save the current situation?"

Speaking of this, the young man in brocade robe suddenly showed a hint of relaxation: "It is rare to be a god to abandon the war. He will defeat Jiannu in one battle. If Zhuangshi Zhao can work together with me, why worry about the world being unable to settle?"

Several people around him looked at each other, and although they agreed, they also had the desire to compete for their ambitions.

The man said, "Although Zhao Zhuangshi is brave, he is only one person after all. His Highness has mountains and rivers in his heart, so Zhao Zhuangshi will definitely be happy to help."

"Hope so."

...

Yesterday I rushed back to Qingyun Temple and chatted with my master for a long time, and many of the knots in my heart had been untied.

So Zhao Yu planned to go down the mountain today and have a positive answer with Hong Chengchou.

It is not attractive to Zhao Yu himself to shine the lintel and pass on the family line. Whether it is power or beauty, in his heart, it is not as important as the Qingyun Temple, nor is it as important as the master's filial piety.

But after all, we need an explanation to the deceased parents.

The Zhao family cannot be broken in his generation.

It is roughly an obligation.

The obligation to be a human being, the obligation to be a Son of man.

When he woke up early in the morning, Zhao Yu went into the mountains, ran for dozens of miles, and got a sika deer back. He was in the kitchen, and he worked for a while and made a good meal of meat.

Seeing the sun jumping out from behind Yiwulu Mountain, Zhao Yu was finally leaving.

For a moment, when facing the master, it seemed like he had thousands of words, but he didn't know what to say.

The old Taoist Qingyun smiled slightly: "Crazy."

Then he said: "Go."

Zhao Yu took a deep breath, knelt in front of his master, bowed three times, turned around and walked out of the Taoist temple door, but heard a shout in his ears.

Standing on the cliff and looking down, I saw dozens of people in a group climbing the mountain road and heading towards the Taoist temple.

Zhao Yu is familiar with the leading few people, who are from the village at the foot of Shanxia.

All behind are strange faces.

Zhao Yu had a very strong eye. When he looked closely, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Taoist Qingyun also heard the shouts and came out of his sight. After a glance, he couldn't help but say, "It's extraordinary."

Zhao Yu also saw it.

The dozens of people were tall and agile. They also had great rules in their steps. Even on the small mountaineering path, some traces could be seen.

Zhao Yu had never seen such a team of people with such quality even in Hong Chengchou's army.

Taoist Qingyun laughed: "The one who is looking for you is here."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

He didn't plan to go down the mountain directly, so he stood outside the Guanmen with his master with his hands behind his back.

After a while, the group finally came closer.

The leaders shouted from afar: "Master Qingyun, Taoist Master Zhao Yu, there is a noble person coming to find him!"

The skill of speaking comes to you.

Zhao Yu's eyes directly crossed the few people leading the way and landed on the young man with brocade robe.

With just a glance, Zhao Yu felt that this young man had a special feature. It was not his noble character, nor his possible identity, nor his heroic posture, but just a feeling in the dark.

This person is extraordinary!

A hint of suspicion flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes.

Taoist Qingyun came forward and bowed, and smiled and said, "Where did the noble man come from? He found this mountain and field? It really made the old Taoist feel uneasy."

The young man in brocade robe stepped forward, bowed his hand, and bowed deeply: "The elder is polite. The boy's surname is Zhu, and he came from the capital to find Zhao Yu and Zhuangma."

Taoist Qingyun sighed in his heart, and helped the young man with a brocade robe with his sleeves. He didn't dare to do it, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of expensive thing is the noble man coming to find the evil disciples of the old Taoist?"

The young man stood up, his eyes were bright, showing his extraordinary heroic posture, and said, "Another Zhao Zhuangshi solved the danger of the Ming Dynasty. If he did not come in person, it would not be enough to express his feelings."

"The second is that Zhao Zhuangshi has all his skills, which should be used to correct the situation and support the world."

Speaking of this, the young man looked at Zhao Yu on the side, bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Little King Zhu Cihao is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Now I am looking for Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang Shi Zhuang said to the side of Zhao Yu, and he was the prince to help the poor and support the Ming Dynasty!"

"It was the prince who was in front of him!"

A look of surprise appeared in Taoist Qingyun's eyes. Zhao Yu was also surprised on the side. Unexpectedly, the Prince of the Ming Dynasty came in person.

Taoist Qingyun bowed his head and said, "The sincerity of the prince, both the old Taoist master and the disciple, are known to him."

Then he looked at Zhao Yu: "How to make a decision depends on yourself."

Since Zhao Yu decided to go down the mountain to complete the "obligation" of Guanghao's family and to pass on the family line, he would not refuse. What's more, the prince of the Ming Dynasty came to postpone the invitation in person?

There is a lot of face.

There is no reason to refuse.

However, Zhao Yu planned to explain the matter first, not to say that he was not prepared for it.

He said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince comes here in person, I cannot refuse."

Zhu Cihao then said seriously: "If you have any requests from Zhuangshi Zhao, you can just ask."

Zhao Yu then said, "Mr. Hong once said that I felt something. My parents were both dead, and I was the only one. If I practice Taoism in the mountains and spend this life, I would be unfilial. Therefore, when I came out of the mountains, one was to pass on the family line, so that the Zhao family would not be cut off from me. The other was to shine the family and let my parents rest in peace in the sky."

When Zhu Cihao heard this, he felt that Zhao Zhuangshi was indeed a straight man. The beautiful power he was talking about seemed to be all obligations and did not take it seriously at all.

However, this Zhao Zhuangshi is indeed not an ordinary person. He is very good at doing things and is natural.

So he smiled and said, "Zhao Zhuangshi helped the army to defeat Jiannu, which is a great contribution. This time he entered the capital, his father will definitely have a great reward. It is no problem to shine the lintel."

He also said: "As for the inheritance of the family line - the Ming Dynasty, what kind of beauty is, as long as Zhao Zhuangshi is interested in, Xiao Wang promises to tell Zhao Zhuangshi about the marriage!"

Zhao Yu nodded faintly: "Since that's the case, I will obey Your Highness's instructions. But I must teach Your Highness to know that if one day I want to go back to the mountain to practice Taoism, Your Highness must not stop it."

Zhu Cihao no matter what conditions were, as long as Zhao Yu agreed, everything was easy to say, and he just nodded and said yes.

So he went down the mountain.

All the way southwest, heading for the capital.

This trip took half a month. Along the way, Zhao Yu had a deeper understanding of Zhu Cihao, the extremely special prince in his inspiration.

Zhu Cihao was only fifteen years old, but he had classics and history in his chest and had armored soldiers in his abdomen.
