Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

"Quickly, send the imperial doctor to treat him!" Zhu Gaochi took the envelope and believed in the urgent news from Babaili.

If everything was fine, how could this soldier be so tired?

It seems that this one soldier ran all over the hundreds of miles, right?

[Painting by the magistrate Wang of Tongzhao County, Jiangnan Prefecture]

[Since May, homicides have occurred every day in Kaihua County, south of Tongzhao County! 】

[Sixty-seven people have died in just fifteen days! 】

[When I first heard this, I thought it was a misinformation, but at the beginning of June, the first death occurred in Tongzhao County]

[The death scene is very similar to the serial murder case in Kaihua County, and the death of the deceased was miserable...]

[I sent someone to ask for help...]

Murder! In any dynasty, a murder is a major event.

Although it is true that many people died in the court and in the countryside.

But no matter what, murder must be strictly controlled.

At the end, Zhu Gaochi's eyes froze for an instant.

Because the date of this letter is June 25th!

It’s already July! The first half of July is almost gone.

How come a letter asking for help appeared in late June?

Could it be that the local county magistrate was so ignorant that he wrote the letter in late June and only sent it in July?

Jiangnan Mansion is not far from Nanzhili, and it is also very close to Yingtian Mansion.

Eight hundred miles of expedited journey, day and night.

It takes about two or three days to reach Jinling City.

Or was it that the soldiers were hunted on the road and had only recently arrived in the capital?

No, the guards and soldiers along the way are not for a living.

How come you didn’t notice the 800-mile express?

"Your Highness, the soldier who delivered the message has woken up." The eunuch reported.

"Bring people in!"

The soldier knelt down and said respectfully: "Common people... I... um..."

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know what to say.

It was my first time to meet the current prince! He is just a little soldier!

Zhu Gaochi frowned tightly when he heard this.

Not that he blamed the soldier in front of him for being rude.

But I am curious about why the last person who delivered the letter was an ordinary soldier?

"No gift, when will you set off from Tongzhao County?"

The soldier felt confused. After Zhu Gaochi reminded him, he remembered why he went out.

He quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Please save our county, many people have died!"

"Don't panic!" Zhu Gaochi shouted, shocking the soldiers: "When will we set off?"

Seemingly intimidated by Zhu Gaochi's majesty, the soldier replied truthfully: "On June 28, after getting the letter from the county magistrate, we will set off from the county government office."

"Are you sure it's June 28th? When did you discover that there was a murder in the county."

"On June 27, the county magistrate heard that there was a murder. Finally, he realized that the problem was serious, so he decided to report it urgently."

Yang Rong, the assistant cabinet minister next to him, shouted: "Then why did you send the letter to the capital so late! Today is already July 9th!"

The soldier himself was immediately confused: "Impossible, this is impossible, how can it be already July 9th."

Zhu Pangpang, who noticed something was wrong, silently walked away.

Chapter 123 You Fangling

When Yang Rong saw this, he noticed something strange.

But he couldn't retreat, so he snorted coldly and asked the soldier.

"Do you still remember when exactly you left Tongzhao County? How did you leave Tongzhao County?"

The soldier said excitedly: "Of course I remember! I left the county office after noon, yes, after noon, and rode a carriage towards the capital."

Yang Rong continued to ask: "On the first night, where did you spend the night and what did you do?"

"The first night..." There was confusion in the soldier's eyes.

"I...I was walking on a rural road and met a family, and then I rested one night at a villager's house."

Zhu Gaochi narrowed his eyes and his heart sank. He walked to several guards and signaled them to prepare for battle.

There is definitely something wrong with this soldier!

The soldier looked at the prince who was a little far away, and kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, the people of Tongzhao County are in dire straits. Please have mercy and save the people!"

Zhu Gaochi flicked his sleeve and asked, "You said you walked on the country road and stayed at a villager's house for one night?"

"Yes! I..."

"You are escorting an eight hundred mile urgent letter from the county magistrate in your hand. Why are you living in a villager's house!"

The soldier was suddenly startled. His eyes were blank, his lips moved slightly, his pupils gradually dilated, and his head tilted slowly.

"Yes! I'm delivering an urgent letter eight hundred miles away. Why am I resting at a villager's house?"

He stared straight at an imperial guard beside him.

"Why? Why am I taking a break? Am I not delivering a message?"

The imperial guard didn't know how to answer.

The soldier suddenly covered his head and squatted on the spot, his eyes glowing blood red.

The hair, armor, and boots slowly decayed, and the whole body exuded an ominous aura.

"I can't tell the difference, I can't tell the difference..."

boom------

A strong golden light flashed from above the hall.

Be bold! Because you are the soul of a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, I let you in!

How dare you release your Yin Qi! What a shame!

The Luck Golden Dragon emits a dazzling and intense golden light, which shines on the body of the messenger soldier.

The soldier who delivered the letter instantly lay down and stopped moving.

The soldier looked miserable, covered in blood.

His armor and helmet were tattered, his eyes had long disappeared, and his facial features were abnormally distorted!

He lay on the ground, with a look of realization on his face.

"I... I'm dead. Our Xiaoqi wanted to lead us out of the gate of Tongzhao County, but failed in the end."

"My head was kicked off, and all my internal organs disappeared. Later, my head came back."

"The letter, the letter for help... was delivered..."

The soldier's resentment dissipated, and his yin energy was washed away, turning into a corpse and staying in place.

"This..."

The soldiers, cabinet officials and the prince looked at each other.

Yang Rong noticed that there was no doubt on the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The faces of the other assistants were very interesting.

It seems that the Crown Prince knows some inside story?

"Come here, seal up the Wenhua Hall. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Wait for the order of His Majesty!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly walked out of the Wenhua Hall and sent someone to inform Zhu Di and Zhu Zhankan.

Soon, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhankan came over.

Zhu Gaochi took small steps and asked Zhu Zhankan: "Son, this soldier who delivered the letter is a little strange. What's going on?"

Seeing that the soldier had become like this, the people present were a little at a loss.

Zhu Zhankan frowned, and the skilled and daring person approached the position of the soldier's body directly.

He checked the soldier's body and found that it was similar to the situation in "Qiwen Ji".

Pointing at the soldier, he said: "This is a wandering spirit, which is a kind of weird, and the conditions for its formation are also very harsh."
