Chapter 129 Gu Insect
"Whoever wins will receive this sword."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised the sword high and shouted loudly to everyone around him.
This sword will be the reward for the winner who kills the most prey this time.
"Isn't it just me and my brother competing?"
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was excited, and asked in confusion.
It's difficult enough to compete with Zhu Yunwen alone, wouldn't it be even more difficult if there were other people involved?
Even Zhu Yunwen, who was standing by, started to feel embarrassed.
Compared with Zhu Ming, he was somewhat confident, but if he took into account other princes and grandchildren, it would be a different story.
"It's a rare opportunity to hunt, so of course we have to enjoy it to the fullest."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about all this. He was already old and it was a rare opportunity for him to get out and play, so of course he had to have fun.
"Ok."
Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunwen did not want to disappoint the old man Zhu Yuanzhang, so they had no choice but to agree.
The others became even more excited after receiving the rewards from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although a sword is not a valuable item, they are not people who lack treasures.
But this sword was a reward from His Majesty the Emperor, and it is a symbol of status.
So when the hunt started, everyone excitedly rode their horses into the woods.
Except for Zhu Yunhun who was riding slowly behind on his horse, and Zhu Ming who was staring at Zhu Yunhun.
"Aren't you going tomorrow?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming who had not yet moved and could not help but ask.
If we don't act now, the prey in the forest will be snatched away by others.
"I'll go tomorrow."
When Zhu Ming heard Zhu Yuanzhang's urging, he lightly kicked his horse's belly and spurred the horse to follow.
"What do you want from me?"
As soon as Zhu Ming rushed into the forest on horseback, Zhu Yunhuan started asking in front of him.
He was riding a horse, strolling leisurely in front, and it didn't look like he was here hunting at all.
Seeing this, Zhu Ming also rode forward and walked side by side with Zhu Yunhuan.
It seems that Zhu Song should have told him that he was looking for him.
"There's no one here, you can talk now."
Zhu Yunhuan did not look back, still looking ahead, and spoke in a deep voice.
Zhu Ming reached out and took the painting out of his arms and handed it to Zhu Yunhuan.
“I found this flower.”
This painting originally belonged to Zhu Yunhuan, and now it has been returned to its original owner.
There is always some risk in holding this painting by yourself.
"What is it?"
After taking the painting, Zhu Yunhuan put it away without even looking at it. He turned his head and looked directly at Zhu Ming and began to question him.
This flower seems to be quite important to him.
"But first I want to know why you are looking for this kind of flower."
"You can't say it's because the peanuts are so pretty."
Zhu Yunhuan took so much trouble to know about this flower, I'm afraid it's not just because it looks good.
"Actually, you don't have to ask too many questions."
Zhu Yunhuan looked at Zhu Ming seriously, as if he was admonishing or warning him.
"What if I must know?"
Zhu Ming also looked straight at him, confronting him without giving in.
Who isn’t a grandson of the emperor? Who’s afraid of whom?
Since I am already involved in this matter, I must know the ins and outs of it.
I can't afford to be implicated by the truth when it comes out without even knowing what happened.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, but neither of them said anything, and a stalemate began to form.
"If you don't tell me the reason, then I won't tell you the origin of this flower."
Zhu Ming had a firm attitude. This matter concerned his future stable life, and he would not give in no matter what.
"I said, Zhu Song's choice of you was a real failure."
After an unknown amount of time of silence, Zhu Yunheng shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.
In fact, he did not want to admit defeat, but he had no choice because the origin of this flower was too important to him.
"I found this in a jade pillow."
As Zhu Yunhuan spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle and shook it in front of Zhu Ming. Only a few crisp sounds could be heard.
"There are several dead bugs in there."
As Zhu Yunhuan spoke, he sighed again, as if he thought of some hateful person, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
The two men's horses rode side by side until they came to a stream. Without their masters' orders, they stopped and lowered their heads to drink water.
Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunhuan also got off their horses, walked to a tree nearby and sat down.
"insect?"
Zhu Ming looked at the porcelain bottle in Zhu Yunhuan's hand. If he guessed correctly, the insect in Zhu Yunhuan's hand was probably the poisonous insect activated by the tranquilizing flower.
"What are you going to do with these?"
Seeing the poisonous insect, Zhu Ming became more alert. He looked at Zhu Yunhuan and asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, these bugs have been dead for a long time."
Zhu Yunhuan took a deep breath, regained his composure, put the insect away, and then looked at Zhu Ming.
"Now, can you tell me the origin of this flower?"
He returned to Beijing this time just for this flower.
"Don't worry, as long as you tell me the origin of this flower today, everything in the future will have nothing to do with you."
Zhu Yunhuan was well aware of Zhu Ming's concerns.
Seeing that Zhu Ming still didn't believe it, he stretched out a hand and pointed four fingers to the sky: "I promise, I will never implicate you. I swear to the sky."
Seeing that Zhu Yunhuan was still somewhat sincere, Zhu Ming finally relaxed and told him everything he knew from Chen Ling.
However, Zhu Yunhuan was not surprised by these things, and it seemed as if he had known about them for a long time.
"It's exactly what I thought."
After listening to Zhu Ming's words, a barely perceptible murderous intent flashed across Zhu Yunheng's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"You already knew?"
Seeing Zhu Yunhuan's reaction, Zhu Ming was a little surprised.
Did Zhu Yunhuan already know the effect of this calming flower?
"I was just guessing, so I asked Zhu Song to ask someone to confirm it."
Zhu Yunhuan nodded, then looked at Zhu Ming and said, "I didn't expect that he would come to you."
Although Zhu Ming did find the origin of the flower, for Zhu Yunhuan, it was not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to find such a difficult person.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't involve me, I won't interfere."
Zhu Ming shrugged his shoulders. He always believed in keeping out of trouble.
As long as Zhu Yunhuan guarantees that what he is going to do will not involve himself and the people around him, he will not do anything.
"Then let's just pretend that what happened today never happened."
Zhu Yunxi nodded.
With just such a simple contact, he already felt how difficult Zhu Ming was.
"Can you let me take a look at that Gu insect?"
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yunhuan and suddenly stretched out his hand towards him: "Anyway, I have checked this flower, so it doesn't matter if I take a look at it."
"Aren't you afraid?"
Seeing Zhu Ming suddenly change his mind, Zhu Yunhuan took a step back and asked in a deep voice:
