Chapter 441: The roadblock
The journey back to Beijing was not smooth. Zhu Cixuan thought he would return to Beijing as soon as possible, but he was tied up by something halfway through.
As the capital approached the capital, Zhu Cixuan and his party passed by Xiongxian in the north of Hejian Prefecture. Outside the south of the county town, a carriage slowly moved forward.
There were many merchants coming from south to north, and it was not surprising that a carriage was escorted by a group of servants. It seemed that the person on the carriage was noble.
But these servants are not officials, just like Zhu Cilang and his group, and they are also disguised.
The fifty Tiger and Ben Army were really eye-catching all the way along the way. Zhu Cilang had to let them go in batches. Except for Meng Fanchao and Wangcai, there were only four followers.
The group of people in front of them were all servants in green clothes and hats, and they were also riding horses and escorting next to a carriage, and a coachman was driving the carriage in front. This group of people was as eye-catching as Zhu Cilang.
Fortunately, there were too many high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and great businessmen in the capital. Although this group was a little strange, Zhu Cilang did not take it seriously.
The most strange thing is that when Zhu Cilang drove past them, he took a few more glances. It didn't matter if he saw it, and the other party was not happy.
"Little thing, what are you looking at!" The other party, a big bearded man, glared at Zhu Cilang.
Zhu Cilang just took a curious look. The other party was so arrogant and domineering. What are you worried about? What do you think of you? Not only in the future, but also happening here again.
Zhu Cixuan didn't want to cause trouble, but the other party didn't know his identity. These people in the market didn't have to worry about them and had important things in their own way, and these people were not worthy of provoking them.
Zhu Cilang ignored it and turned his head to continue moving forward.
Unexpectedly, when the bearded man saw the other party admitting his conscience, he became more and more proud. In addition, he saw that the man who was about to be young, he was even more arrogant.
I saw the bearded man waved the whip in his hand and slapped Zhu Cixuan's mount hard.
Zhu Cilan's mount was frightened and a long neighed. He immediately ran for no reason. In an instant, Meng Fanchao and several soldiers of the Hu Ben Army beside him had no time to stop it. The imperial horse went crazy and flew with four hooves and galloped along the official road.
Thanks to Zhu Cixuan's journey to Liaodong and then to Luoshan County, his riding skills were already quite exquisite. Otherwise, he would have to be dropped off the horse.
With such a rapid speed, falling off the horse would probably be seriously injured. The other party obviously didn't care. Seeing the horse under Zhu Cilang's crotch was shocked, everyone around them laughed.
These people are obviously used to being arrogant and lucky. They don’t take others seriously. Although Zhu Cilang also has people around him, these people are not afraid at all. Could it be that they have some background.
"Hurry, save the young master!" Meng Fanchao and others were shocked. They didn't have time to cause trouble for each other, so they chased them one after another. If the prince had an accident, everyone would be guilty of it.
Several people galloped on the horse and followed behind and chased desperately. Zhu Cilang was even more shocked and pulled the reins desperately. But the green horse under his crotch was a palace horse, with a fat body and strong endurance.
These horses are all chosen in a variety of ways, and they are reluctant to beat them when riding on weekdays. They are also well-trained. You only need to pinch your legs, so they can understand and run forward.
Suddenly, the bearded horse was whipped on the butt by the bearded man, and in frightened it ran away desperately. Zhu Cixuan pulled the reins hard and was almost knocked off the horse several times.
The green horse was full of energy and ran straight for four or five miles before slowly stopping. Zhu Cilan was already tired and his heart was beating faster and his head was sweating profusely. He was almost knocked down the horse several times.
When Meng Fanchao and others caught up, their faces changed drastically: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Zhu Cilang's face turned pale. He turned over and dismounted and comforted the green horse. Then he looked coldly at the way he came. Everyone knew that those people were in trouble.
Everyone dismounted, and Wangcai asked, "Your Highness, do you want to summon Zhan Yunpeng and the others?"
Zhu Cilang didn't say anything, and Meng Fanchao next to him whispered: "No need."
Meng Fanchao knew that with the abilities of the four Hu Ben soldiers behind them, five of them were more than enough to deal with those servants.
The bearded man couldn't beat him. It can be seen from his horse's skills that this person did not have any martial arts skills. Even if he knew, it was just a trio of three-legged cats.
The reason why they dared to bully His Highness the Crown Prince was that they relied on the power of someone. Moreover, this person was definitely not ordinary.
However, no matter how powerful you are, it is not as great as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. This time, these people hit the gun.
The bearded man was praised by everyone and immediately became proud: "That kid dares to look at me, but I won't dig his eyes and make him lucky."
"Butler Zhao is mighty, but this kid seems to be of some origin. He will arrive in the capital soon, so let's be careful." Another little hat in blue said inappropriately.
The bearded man surnamed Zhao and is the housekeeper in the mansion. He said disdainfully: "I'm so afraid. Who dares to provoke our master in Beijing? Don't forget what our master is."
Another servant glanced at the sedan chair in a slutty manner, and then smiled: "That's right, our master is a royal relative. Who dares to provoke our Tian family in the capital? Not to mention an unknown boy. Even if he is a rich young man with a noble status, so what if he offended us, our master is also able to offend him."
After saying that, everyone burst into laughter.
The wheels rolled, and a whimpering cry suddenly came from the sedan chair. Several servants were a little annoyed, and everyone stopped talking and followed the carriage slowly forward.
After walking about a few miles, the bearded butler Zhao saw Zhu Cixuan and others blocking the road. At this time, several servants became a little scared.
The bearded man snorted and rode his horse to grab it: "You guy, you're tired of living, right? Get out of here!"
After saying that, he slapped forward and threw it at Zhu Cixuan with a whip.
Zhu Cixuan stood in the local area, not dodging or avoiding. Suddenly, Meng Fanchao beside him reached out and grabbed the horse whip.
The bearded butler named Zhao was shocked and reached out to snatch it. But who knew that Meng Fanchao gently pulled him and whipped him off the horse with a whip. The whip in the bearded man's hand also reached Meng Fanchao's hand.
Meng Fanchao took the horse whip, and swung it into the air with a "bang!". Then, he thrust hard at the butler surnamed Zhao with a crackling sound.
The bearded butler was pulled on the ground and kept rolling and wailing. The servants around him were shocked and snatched the horses one after another. They pulled out their weapons and rushed up.
They are really not a group of ordinary servants, and each of them is still carrying weapons. However, these people are not enough for Zhu Cixuan's men to get stuck in their teeth.
