Chapter 167 Zheng Mengzhou is dead

Li Jie's boat was docked outside Xishuimen. Looking at the familiar Jinling City in front of him, he was quite moved. He had been walking for several months, and he was wandering on the water most of the time. Sometimes he really missed life in Jinling City very much.

When Li Jie stepped off the boat, Liu Ying, Liu Yi and his son, and Zhu Yunyu also came to greet him in person. Just like when Li Jie left last time, he still only notified the three of them when he came back. Of course, the old Zhu and his son must also know that Zhu Yunyu's ability to leave the city was enough to represent the attitude of their father and son.

"Jie'er, why are you so black?" Liu Ying immediately said with grief when he saw Li Jie's nephew. When Li Jie left, he was white and tender, but in just a few months, he turned black and thin. Although he looked much more delicate, it still made people feel distressed.

"The sun is too strong at sea, and it is inevitable to tan. How is your Tie Cejun like that?" Li Jie replied with a smile. He didn't care much about his appearance changes. After all, he doesn't rely on his appearance to make a living, and he just tanned it. At most, he can recover after raising it for a while.

Before Liu Ying could answer, Liu Yi next to him excitedly said: "Cousin, your idea is really great. Our Tieca Army uses firearms and it is easy to practice. I had practiced it in front of His Majesty and the Prince before, and even received praise from His Majesty himself!"

"I'm so happy. When you go to the battlefield one day, you can still laugh?" Liu Ying glared at his son. He knew Lao Zhu's personality very well, so after receiving Lao Zhu's praise, he was always worried that Lao Zhu would send the Tie Ce Army to the battlefield. After all, Liu Yi was also in the Tie Ce Army, and he didn't want something to happen to his son.

"Just go, we practiced for so long, isn't it just to go to the battlefield?" Liu Yi said a little dissatisfied. It seemed that the army had a great influence on him. If it were a few months ago, he would definitely not be able to say such things.

Liu Ying was so angry that she wanted to scold her son for being ungrateful, but she was stopped by Li Jie. Then Li Jie chatted with Zhu Yunyu for a few more words, but the other party told him about the facts of the Qiuzhen Academy, which made Li Jie stunned. Unexpectedly, the Imperial Heaven Supervision had made such a big deal after he had left for a few months.

It was getting late, and Li Jie was going to the palace to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, so the four of them got on the carriage and walked around and chatted. Li Jie also roughly talked about his experience in Goryeo and Japan. As a result, Liu Ying and the other two were amazed at the same time. Unexpectedly, Li Jie had such a wonderful time overseas in the past few months.

After the carriage entered the city, Liu Ying and Liu Yi and his son got off the carriage first and made an agreement with Li Jie to ask him to go to his house to attend a banquet in the evening. At that time, the father and son would welcome Li Jie. Of course, Li Jie nodded and agreed, and then entered the palace with Zhu Yunqi.

"Li Bandu, the fourth uncle has controlled Goryeo now, and you have entered Japan first. In the future, will you continue to use Goryeo as the foundation to continue to use troops to Japan?" Zhu Yunxi asked curiously at this time.

"It's possible, but this matter depends on Your Majesty's intention." Li Jie replied with a smile.

"I really envy the Fourth Uncle, who can lead an army alone to suppress a country!" Zhu Yunxiu said with envy at this time. As he often left the palace, Zhu Yunxiu's horizons became more and more broad, and his mind became bigger and bigger, and he was no longer satisfied with the small capital.

"It's not easy for Your Highness to King Yan. The situation in Goryeo is not clear yet. Li Chenggui holds the fake king hostage outside, and Zheng Mengzhou is restrained inside. It may take a lot of effort to completely master Goryeo." Li Jie also smiled slightly when he heard this. He understood Zhu Yunxiu's thoughts, but with his identity, it is probably impossible to lead troops like Zhu Di.

"By the way, does your sister miss me?" Li Jie suddenly asked with a smile.

"How could I know about this? You have the chance to ask my sister!" Zhu Yunxi was speechless when he heard this. How could he have the nerve to ask Zhu Yuning about this?

"I must have thought about it. I brought a lot of gifts when I came back this time. When I delivered it to the palace tomorrow, I will hand it over to your sister on my behalf!" Li Jie smiled again. He didn't know what Zhu Yuning liked, so he picked a lot of gifts and asked her to choose them by herself.

"Just thinking about my sister, there is no gift from me?" Zhu Yunxiu shouted dissatisfied when he heard this. His brother-in-law has helped them with cover. Even if he has no credit, he will have to work hard, right?

"How could it be that there is no? I brought you a Japanese sword. It is said to be made by famous Japanese craftsmen. It is very sharp. It is also the spoils we used to attack Tsuma Island. It is very memorable!" Li Jie smiled immediately. This samurai sword was seized by Zhang Dingbian. It is said to be a collection of Ma Zong. He saw that Li Jie was very interested, so he gave it to him as a thank you.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately grabbed Li Jie's arm and said excitedly: "Where is it? Take it out and let me see!"

"How could I carry such a long knife with me?" Li Jie was speechless. He brought too many gifts this time, so he threw them on the boat. And he had to enter the palace, so he couldn't bring weapons, right?

"Then you must send it tomorrow!" Zhu Yunxiu urged again. He had long been interested in weapons and wanted to collect a musket at the beginning, but unfortunately Li Jie refused to give it to him. Now he can finally collect a Japanese sword.

While the two were talking, the carriage also entered the imperial city, and then stopped in front of the palace gate. The two walked into the palace and finally arrived at the Donghunting Pavilion. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son had been waiting for them for a long time.

"My de Li Jie, please see Your Majesty, Your Highness!" Li Jie stepped forward and saluted.

"No need to be polite, come and take a look at this!" Zhu Yuanzhang said and handed a document to Li Jiedao.

Li Jie stepped forward to take it, but when he opened it, he was shocked to see the content above. The document was sent by Jiang Qi from Goryeo. Not long after Li Jie left Japan, Zheng Mengzhou was suddenly assassinated. The person who assassinated him was said to be a killer sent by Li Chenggui and his son. This also caused excitement among the people from Kaicheng. Zhu Di took the opportunity to take over the military power and began to prepare for the conquest of Li Chenggui.

"Your Majesty, is Zheng Mengzhou so strange to die?" Li Jie hesitated for a moment before speaking. Although Jiang Yan did not say it clearly in the document, Li Jie had already smelled a trace of conspiracy. Even after Zhu Di captured Kaicheng, Li Jie believed that Zheng Mengzhou would be in trouble soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"What's wrong with it? It's the fourth brother's move!" Old Zhu said without hesitation. Zhu Biao next to him coughed awkwardly, as if he felt that it was inappropriate for his father to tell such conspiracy, but Old Zhu didn't care at all.

"By the way, what do you think of Jiang Yan? I plan to transfer him back to the capital?" Lao Zhu suddenly asked again, which made Li Jie feel moved. Lao Zhu wanted to transfer Jiang Yan back. Is he going to be ready to attack Mao Xiang?
