Whenever you need to take a boat, you almost have to pass by here. Therefore, the pier here has become the most lively area outside the capital. There are endless traffic and congestion on the pier.

However, today's wharf is a little different. The north side of the wharf is isolated from an area by officers and soldiers. Experienced people can guess that this must be a noble person in the capital who wants to travel, otherwise there would be no officers and soldiers. In addition, there are also many official ships on the port. It seems that this noble person who travels is not ordinary.

Li Jie stood behind Zhu Biao with a bored look on his face, while Zhu Biao and the Zhu Chuang brothers said goodbye. Finally, Zhu Biao shed a few tears, and then personally sent Zhu Chuang on board the ship.

Until then, Zhu Biao reminded Li Jie again: "Li Jie, I will hand over the itinerary of my second brother along the way. Although I know that my father has given you instructions, I will take more care of my second brother if necessary!"

"Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely take good care of King Fusang!" Li Jie agreed immediately, but when Zhu Ren next to him heard the three words "King Fusang", his expression on his face also twisted. He thought that he was the King of Qin, but now he has become an inappropriate King Fusang, and it is ridiculous to say it.

Hearing Li Jie say this, Zhu Biao nodded, then grabbed Zhu Chuang's hand and reminded: "Second brother, the wind and waves on the sea are very stormy, and I have suffered a lot before, so I have someone prepared some medicine to prevent seasickness. If you feel uncomfortable, take some!"

Zhu Biao said and waved his hand. Someone immediately sent a box, which contained all kinds of medicines that had been taken. Then, just boil them directly.

"Thank you, brother!" Zhu Chuang also saluted Zhu Biao again, and then asked someone to accept the medicine.

"In addition, I also wrote a letter to Lao Si. If you arrive at Gaoli, you will give it to him. I know that you have a bad relationship with Lao Si, but you should bow your head when it is time to bow your head. In the letter, I also reminded Lao Si to ask him to take care of you. Gaoli and Shi Jian are very close to Shi Jian. If you encounter any danger, don't forget to ask Lao Si for help!" Zhu Biao reminded again, and then handed over another letter to Zhu Chuang.

"I understand!" Zhu Chuang nodded again.

It was getting late at this time, and I had said everything I should say, so Zhu Biao finally sent Zhu Rong and Li Jie onto the boat. After the boat left the shore, he stood on the shore for a long time and waved his hand and refused to leave.

However, shortly after the ship left the shore, Zhu Chuang's expression on the ship slowly became colder, and his eyes towards Zhu Biao on the shore became a little complicated. Then he looked at Li Jie next to him with great alertness. Unexpectedly, Li Jie just smiled at him slightly and said nothing.

"Hmph!" Zhu Chuang seemed to be very unhappy with Li Jie, and snorted coldly and turned around and entered the cabin.

Li Jie looked at Zhu Chuang's back, and the expression on his face slowly became cold. Then he waved his hand and the escort leader on the boat immediately stepped forward to salute. Li Jie said, "Look at His Highness Fusang, no one is allowed to get close to him except for three meals!"

"Yes!" The guard leader agreed and immediately went to make arrangements, and Li Jie also returned to his cabin to rest.

This time, their fleets were not large, because most of the ships transporting materials were not in Nanjing, but concentrated in Suzhou, and some were even in Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and other places. In other words, Li Jie and his fleet were the first batch and would meet with other ships along the way. When they arrived in Suzhou, the entire fleet would be considered as the assembly.

In addition, Zhu Ceng didn't have many guards. Although more than 2,000 people were going to sea with him, Zhu Ceng was recalled by Lao Zhu from Xi'an this time, and only more than 100 guards and entourages were brought, most of the guards were left in Xi'an. These Xi'an guards had already received orders to rush to Dengzhou to wait for the fleet.

However, even more than one hundred guards were split onto various ships by Li Jie and guarded by the guards sent by Lao Zhu. Zhu Chuang stayed alone on the ship and was escorted by Li Jie himself. Of course, Zhu Chuang still had a eunuch beside him. After all, if no one was there to serve him, he might not be able to take care of his basic life.

The itinerary of the previous two days was very calm. Zhu Chuang stayed in the cabin all day and didn't come out. Li Jie was happy and even secretly thought that after arriving in Suzhou, he would be able to come back after the fleet went to sea. By then, whether Zhu Chuang went overseas or not has anything to do with him.

However, on the third day, Zhu Chuang started to find trouble. Sometimes he said that there were too few stoves in the room and he was frozen. Sometimes he said that the food was not good. Sometimes he said that the boat was too bumpy and asked to stop the shore and rest.

Anyway, all kinds of things are happening one after another. If it were an ordinary person, I would probably not dare to neglect it. After all, no matter how sad Zhu Ren was, he was the emperor's son. Ordinary ministers really dare not offend him too much.

I guess Mr. Zhu guessed that Zhu Ceng would be looking for trouble, so he specially asked Li Jie to escort him, and also ordered Li Jie in advance. No matter what Zhu Ceng made, he would not agree at all!

With Lao Zhu's words and Li Jie's identity, he ignored Zhu Ceng's various requests at all, and instead ordered the fleet to speed up, because the fleet gatherings also had a fixed time. If they walked too slowly, it would delay the fleet's trip to sea. You should know that most of the fleet are merchant ships carrying various cargo. For them, delaying a day is a huge loss.

Perhaps because he saw Li Jie ignore him, Zhu Ceng calmed down for two days, but just as their fleet was about to reach Suzhou, Zhu Ceng suddenly sent the eunuch beside him to invite Li Jie, saying that he wanted to have two drinks with Li Jie and chat.

Li Jie originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought, it would be better to meet Zhu Cheng. Then he could test him and see what he was thinking about. What are his plans to go to Japan?

Thinking of this, Li Jie asked someone to prepare some wine and food, then placed the table on the bow of the boat, and Zhu Ren finally walked out of the cabin.

"Your Highness, I will be in Suzhou tomorrow. When you go out to sea, I will go back. Today I will treat it as a way to see you off!" Li Jie smiled and bowed. He could call Uncle Zhu Di intimately, but he was really not friendly to Zhu Chuang.

Zhu Chuang's expression was still a little cold. He saw him sitting in his seat without saying hello to Li Jie. Li Jie didn't bother with him, and immediately sat opposite him. The eunuch beside Zhu Chuang also hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine for the two of them.

Zhu Chuang drank the wine in the glass, then looked up at Li Jie several times: "You were the one who sued me in front of my father?"

"How did your Highness know? Could it be that the Crown Prince told you?" Li Jie did not deny it, but was a little surprised, because only Zhu Biao and Princess Pucheng knew about the complaint he complained to Lao Zhu that day. After so many things happened, Lao Zhu blocked the news again, so Zhu Chuang should not know about this.

"Hmph, with my elder brother's character, even if I made a mistake, he would not have the heart to sue me in front of my father. After all, you only have the ability and courage. Otherwise, if it were someone else, I would have been cut off by my father!" Zhu Ren stared at Li Jie with his eyes and said again.

I have to say that the Lao Zhu family has a very good genes, such as the sons of Lao Zhu, some are cruel and absurd. There is even one who eats a fairy pill to kill himself, but none of them are fools.

Since the other party guessed, Li Jie did not deny it anymore, and immediately chuckled and said, "Yes, someone handed over your crime to His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince refused to accept it, so I took it down. Later, I announced your crime in front of His Majesty!"

"You..." Zhu Ren was angry when he saw Li Jie admitting, but at this time Li Jie looked at him without showing any weakness, which made him feel a little guilty. After all, he is now living under someone else's roof, and everything depends on Li Jie's wink.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ren was also a little discouraged. He immediately drank a glass of wine again, and then he spoke again: "Where is Pucheng, has she also done her best?"

"Why is Your Highness concerned about the princess again?" Li Jie showed a sarcastic smile when he heard this. If Zhu Lu knew about Princess Pucheng poisoned him, he still didn't know what he would react?

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. I'm in such a way now, she must have done a lot of effort!" Zhu Chuang was smart and actually guessed that Princess Pucheng was also one of the "accomplices" who defeated him.

"So what? Your Highness, you can't even bear to see your own daughter's actions. Don't you feel sad?" Li Jie asked again. Zhu Ci didn't mention Princess Pucheng, but it was okay if he mentioned Princess Pucheng. When Princess Pucheng mentioned Princess Li Jie even more angry. He could even take ruthless measures against his own daughter. Zhu Ci was really a father!

"I..." Zhu Ren was so angry that he wanted to slap the table again by Li Jie's words, but in the end he endured it, but his chest was undulating, and he looked very angry. If someone had dared to talk to him like this before, he would have let someone dismember the other party's five horses long ago.

"Okay! What a sharp-tongued boy! Do you usually talk to your elder brother like this?" Zhu Chuang finally calmed down and then asked Li Jie again, and pointed out in his words that he was Li Jie's elder.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind and kind to others. In addition, our father-in-law and son-in-law have a good relationship, so I certainly respect Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Jie smiled again, and told the other party that he should not think about using his elders to suppress others, and first look for problems from himself.

Of course, Zhu Ren heard Li Jie's implication and immediately became angry again, but in the end he suppressed his anger and waved his hand, "Okay, I won't mention the past. I want to ask you, what's going on in Japan?"

Seeing that Zhu Rou was finally willing to face the reality, Li Jie finally sat up straight and smiled: "What is the situation in your highness?"

"Shi Jianguo! Why did my father ask me to go there? When did my Ming Dynasty start expanding territory in Japan?" Zhu En also showed a gritting expression on his face when he mentioned the three words Shi Jianguo. He had never even heard of this place. With his understanding of his father, the other party could not let him go there for no reason.
