Knowing that Zhu Yunwen was looking for the descendants of the Three Yangs recorded in the History of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not refuse in the slightest.

He also looked forward to these three talented individuals appearing to assist Zhu Yunwen, so he readily agreed and let Zhu Yunwen go and find these three talents.

Zhu Yunwen was very happy, so after making some preparations, he sent someone to the residence of Zhao Sili, the military commander, to invite Zhao Qingzhu.

Although the two have not yet held a wedding ceremony, they should not be seeing each other frequently.

But now, the matter between Zhao Qingzhu and Zhu Yunwen is almost a done deal. The Ministry of Rites is still selecting an auspicious day and making preparations for their marriage.

This matter had been confirmed by Zhu Yuanzhang's decree, so although the two had not yet held a wedding ceremony, they were already legally married.

When Zhao Qingzhu arrived at the East Palace and saw Zhu Yunwen, she could not hide her joy.

Zhu Yunwen stepped forward with a smile and said to Zhao Qingzhu:

"I'll be going to Jiangxi for a while, and then to Jian'an in Fujian. If you're free, could you come with me?"

Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said, "Of course, I've always had a great passion for traveling and sightseeing."

Zhu Yunwen said:

"This trip isn't just about sightseeing!"

Zhao Qingzhu: "Of course, you take care of your business, and we can enjoy the scenery while we're at it."

Zhu Yunwen nodded with a wry smile: "The main reason I asked you to come with me is that you are very skilled in martial arts and can protect me. As you know, there are many people in the court and other places who want me dead."

Zhao Qingzhu immediately became serious and said, "You are now the Crown Prince, who would want you dead? Even if they did, they wouldn't dare to do it, would they?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at this physically strong but simple-minded girl, and with a hint of helplessness, flicked her little nose with his finger before saying:

"Now that I am the grandson of the emperor, there are many people who are dissatisfied with me. For example, Zhu Yunwen, he will never be so easily satisfied."

Besides him, there were also some loyal civil officials who were clearly very unwilling for me to become the crown prince.

Besides Zhu Yunwen, my uncles and aunts also coveted the throne. They wanted not only me dead, but also Zhu Yunwen.

In fact, it would be better if all of us grandchildren were dead. So you can imagine the danger involved in this long journey.

Zhao Qingzhu then suddenly realized and said:

"Different identities mean vastly different dangers. But don't worry, with me here, no one can touch a hair on your head. I told you before, there are probably very few people in this world who can defeat me."

Faced with such a confident girl, Zhu Yunwen felt a little more emboldened.

But he couldn't help but have some doubts. He looked at Zhao Qingzhu and wondered, how could this petite and cute little body be a martial arts master?

She even said that there are few people in the world who can rival her?

Zhu Yunwen couldn't quite believe it.

He even had a feeling that since he had practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) in his previous life, if he were to get serious, this punch would probably make this girl cry for a long time.

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment. He quickly recalled the scene when he encountered an assassin sent by Zhu Yunwen to kill him during his disaster relief efforts.

At that moment, Zhao Qingzhu jumped off his horse and easily injured his opponent.

From this perspective, although this girl looks petite and cute, the power contained within her body should not be underestimated.

I don't know if I can make him cry with one punch, but if this girl punches me, I'll probably cry for a long time.

Seemingly aware of the hint of doubt Zhu Yunwen had just displayed, Zhao Qingzhu pinched her nose, snorted, and said:

"I see you're a bit unconvinced. How about this: you find some top-tier martial arts experts and have them come and spar with me. What do you think?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:

"This is good. I don't think there are any particularly powerful experts in my Eastern Palace. How about this, come with me to the Imperial Study."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu's expression changed, and she said:

"You don't expect me to go fight in the Imperial Study, do you? That's a capital offense."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "With me here, who would dare to kill you? Come with me without worry."

So he took Zhao Qingzhu to the outside of the Imperial Study.

Outside the Imperial Study, there were some imperial guards. These guards were extremely skilled in combat, selected from the most powerful Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) and even from the army.

They rarely make a move, but once they do, any one of these imperial guards could easily take on twenty ordinary soldiers on their own.

This shows that their strength is absolutely formidable.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at the guards and said:

"Among you, those with the strongest fighting ability, step forward and let me see."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people stood up.

As top-tier imperial guards, they possess immense confidence in their abilities.

No matter the situation, they have absolute confidence to stand up and show themselves.

After they stepped forward, Zhu Yunwen said:

"They all exude confidence, which is good."

Then he addressed the dozen or so imperial guards who had stepped forward:

"The girl next to me is also very strong. She wants to have a match with you. Do you dare to try?"

Upon hearing this, all the imperial guards were stunned.
