Tang He drew his sword to face each other, but Master Mu Yan looked at him disdainful. Li Jie was stuck in the middle and was in a dilemma. He wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to persuade him, because he didn't know what grudges there were between the two?

"Boy, stay away from him, otherwise I can't stop him if he really wants to kill you!" Tang He turned his head and looked around, but found that he was in a hurry to see Li Jie, and the guards were behind him. He had not followed up yet, and he didn't know what was happening here, which made him feel unsure. If the old guy on the opposite side really wanted to go crazy, let alone Li Jie, he might not be able to escape.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Tang, Master Mu will never hurt me. If Master Mu hadn't taken action to repel the Japanese pirates just now, I'm afraid you would have to collect my body!" Li Jie finally had the opportunity to persuade him. Master Mu would really be unfavorable to him, and there were opportunities before.

"Master?" Tang He was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he realized that Master Mu Ran was bare-headed. Although it was covered in blood, he could still see the scars on his head. This made him suddenly raise his head and laugh, "I didn't expect that Zhang Dingbian, who was famous back then, actually became a monk!"

"Zhang Dingbian!" Li Jie was shocked when he heard this name. His eyes looked at Master Mu Ran were full of incredible. Unexpectedly, he was Zhang Dingbian, who was known as the number one general in the late Yuan Dynasty. No wonder he killed Japanese pirates like killing chickens.

Zhang Dingbian was Chen Youliang's sworn brother. He said that he was the most powerful general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was not a bragging, but a real record. When Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought in Poyang Lake, when the situation was not good for Chen Youliang, Zhang Dingbian drove a ship and went straight in and directly broke into Zhu Yuanzhang's central army, hoping to take Zhu Yuanzhang's head among the thousands of troops.

In order to stop Zhang Dingbian, Zhu Yuanzhang sent several generals such as Han Cheng, Chen Zhaoxian, Song Gui, etc., but they were all killed by Zhang Dingbian. In the end, he was about to kill Zhu Yuanzhang's ship. Zhu Yuanzhang was so scared that he fled on the ship, but the ship was stranded.

Fortunately, Chang Yuchun arrived at this time and used a boat to knock Zhu Yuanzhang's ship out. Then he shot several arrows in succession to injure Zhang Dingbian. However, even though he was injured, Zhang Dingbian still retreated calmly. The tens of thousands of troops under Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to pursue him.

What's even more awesome is that after Chen Youliang was killed by the arrow, Zhang Dingbian snatched his body from the army and protected Chen Youliang's son from the siege. It is said that Zhang Dingbian was hit by a hundred arrows in that battle, but he was still unstoppable. This was confirmed by the arrow injuries he had just now.

"Hmph, haven't your brother Zhu also been a monk? I can't do it even if he does it?" Zhang Dingbian fought back without showing any weakness, but this time Tang He was choked.

Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang has been a monk. Moreover, when Zhu Yuanzhang was not successful, he was both brothers with Tang He. Now Zhang Dingbian uses the title "Brother Zhu", which means that Tang He is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, and that Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless when he becomes the emperor. I don't know how many people who call him brothers were killed?

"Well, Master Mu's words are cautious. Since you are already a foreigner, let it go when you have something to do back then. Today you have made great contributions and are old acquaintances with Grandpa Tang. Why not sit down and have two drinks?" Li Jie hurriedly advised.

At this time, the guards behind Tang He finally arrived, which gave Tang He some confidence. When he heard Li Jie advise them to sit down and drink, Tang He snorted coldly and said, "I will never drink with the enemy!"

"I have always only drunk people with people I admire. If Chang Yuchun is still there, I would rather have a drink with him!" Zhang Dingbian also said tit-for-tat, the implication was that Tang He was not qualified, and only a powerful general like Chang Yuchun was worthy of drinking with him.

Tang He was angry when he heard this, his face turned pale, but he could not argue, because he was better than Zhang Dingbian in terms of personal courage and military leadership. The only ones in the Ming Dynasty who can compare with the other party were probably Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.

Seeing that the two old men seemed to have taken guns and medicine, Li Jie also gave up the idea of ​​persuading peace and immediately pulled Tang He aside and whispered: "Grandpa Tang, Chen Youliang's affairs have been so long, and as far as I know, the court did not issue a notice to arrest Zhang Dingbian, right?"

"Is there a wanted arrest, but he is Zhang Dingbian after all. He almost injured His Majesty. It would be fine if he hadn't seen him before. Now if he lets him go after seeing him, he may not be able to explain to His Majesty." Tang He also said in a deep voice at this time.

Although Tang He and Zhang Dingbian were not allowed to face each other, as both generals, he still admired Zhang Dingbian very much. However, as so many people around him looked at him, he had to consider Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, so he had to make an attitude.

"Grandpa Tang, your words are wrong. If Your Majesty really holds a grudge against Zhang Dingbian, why haven't he sent anyone to search him over the years?" Li Jie asked with a smile.

When Chen Youliang died in battle, his son Chen Li was young and could not bear the burden left by Chen Youliang, so he could only surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang in the end. However, Zhang Dingbian was unwilling to surrender and risked his life to break through the siege and still resisted. Unfortunately, he was unable to change his situation. In the end, he had to disband the army and he was gone. Zhu Yuanzhang had never been chased by someone.

"What you mean is that Your Majesty..." Tang He is worthy of being the one who knows Zhu Yuanzhang the best. When he heard Li Jie's reminder, he immediately guessed some of Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

"Yes, I guess it was Your Majesty who loves talents. Unfortunately, Zhang Dingbian is loyal and righteous. Even if Chen Youliang dies, he will not be willing to vote for the second master. Your Majesty probably knows this, so he did not force it. Otherwise, with the ability of the Jinyiwei to be omnipresent, if Your Majesty wants to kill him, how could he wait until now?" Li Jie smiled again.

Tang He also nodded repeatedly. With his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was probably his attitude towards Zhang Dingbian. Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang was not fond of money and was not lustful. Although there were many beauties in the palace, except for Empress Ma, everyone else was Zhu Yuanzhang's tool for giving birth to a son to consolidate the country of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who cherishes talents. As long as you have talent, he dares to use it. For example, Li Jie, if he hadn't been extremely talented, he would have been cut into meat paste by Zhu Yuanzhang long ago.

"What do you think of?" Tang He finally looked at Li Jie and asked again.

"If it weren't for Zhang Dingbian before, I would have died long ago, so I would not be able to do anything to repay grudges and revenge. It would be better if we treat it as if we had never seen him and let him leave by ourselves. If Your Majesty really wants to blame him, then I will bear it all!" Li Jie patted his chest at the end.

"Okay, you said this!" Tang He was waiting for Li Jie's last words, but then he smiled, "You guy is really stupid. Last time he contradicted Your Majesty, Your Majesty was reluctant to kill you. I guess he is not afraid of having another Zhang Dingbian now!"

Seeing Tang He agreeing, Li Jie was relieved and didn't care about his jokes. In fact, with Li Jie's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, even if they report Zhang Dingbian's affairs, the other party should not pursue them. Tang He is just doing a favor now.

Li Jie turned around again to Zhang Dingbian, and saw that the monks around him were all focused and alert, and were full of hostility towards the Ming army around him. They were all Zhang Dingbian's personal soldiers back then and were loyal to Zhang Dingbian. Even if Zhang Dingbian became a monk and became a monk, they would always be with him. If the Ming army was not good for Zhang Dingbian now, they would definitely fight to the death and would never surrender.

"General Zhang, I have advised Grandpa Tang that you can leave at any time!" Li Jie stepped forward and whispered.

"You should call me my Dharma name!" Zhang Dingbian was still very calm when he heard this. Then he looked at Li Jie and said, "Director Li, you have always regarded yourself as a junior. You must have been from an extraordinary background, right?"

"Hehe, this kid's grandfather is Li Shanchang!" Before Li Jie could speak, Tang He came over and pointed at Li Jie and said, "But this kid has a tough temper and has a rupture with his grandfather, but he became the prince's son-in-law with his ability."

When he said this, Tang He paused deliberately, then smiled at Zhang Dingbian again and said, "How about it, do you regret not killing this kid now?"

Zhang Dingbian also raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Jie's identity. He really didn't expect that Li Jie's identity was so prominent. The most important thing is that he was young and could win the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang with his own abilities and marry the prince's daughter. This is a real royal relative. If he wants to take revenge on Zhu Yuanzhang, killing Li Jie is undoubtedly a good way.

"Grandpa Tang, don't joke. Master Mu is compassionate. As a monk, he will kill people in order to save the people. How could he argue with me, the younger generation?" Li Jie said with a blank look at Tang He.

However, what Li Jie didn't expect was that Zhang Dingbian began to look at him when he heard Tang He's words, which made Li Jie feel a little embarrassed. The two were so close that if Zhang Dingbian suddenly started attacking, no one could save him.

However, Zhang Dingbian did not take action, but instead said to Li Jie with a serious expression: "You are ordered to eliminate the Japanese pirates. The biggest problem is whether you can't find the traces of the Japanese pirates, and you don't know where their nest is?"

"That's right, if you can find the Japanese pirates' nest, the imperial navy will definitely be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Li Jie nodded immediately.

"Okay, I believe you. Maybe I can help with finding the traces of Japanese pirates!" Zhang Dingbian pondered for a moment and spoke again.
