Zhu Hong looked at the radiant Zhou Yukun suspiciously, as if he didn't expect this young man to answer him like this, but he didn't think much about it, he directly raised his hand to help Zhou Yukun up, and took the initiative to say: "It's good if I don't get hurt, if my subordinates hurt any innocent people, I, the master of Yangzhou, will feel guilty." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yukun couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, and then he began to look at the obese middle-aged man carefully. Originally, he thought that this person was just an official in the city, but he didn't expect that he would meet the ultimate goal of this trip by mistake.

Catch him now!

As soon as this sudden idea appeared, it was instantly given up by Zhou Yukun. If it was just Zhu Hong, he would definitely make a move without hesitation, but now that there was Wang Huan nearby, he had to be cautious.

After his eyes fluctuated slightly, Zhou Yukun had a plan in his heart, and instantly made a flattered expression on his face, and said to Zhu Hong: "What? Are you the owner of Yangzhou, Lord Zhu Hong? I've heard of your reputation for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here! ”

As the saying goes, Zhu Hong immediately made a modest expression, but the trace of pride in his eyes could not be hidden. "Everywhere, it's just a name. By the way, I don't know the name of the little brother yet? ”

Zhou Yukun hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, the villain's name is Zhou Kun." Of course, this name was made up by him, after all, although Zhu Hong had never seen his appearance, he still knew his name.

Sure enough, Zhu Hong didn't have the slightest doubt, after all, there were many people surnamed Zhou in the world, and he didn't associate it with Zhou Yukun, the lord of Shouchun City, at all. "It turned out to be Brother Zhou Kun, I saw that you were extraordinary before, and I happened to lack a guard by my side, I wonder if you are willing to join my command?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Yukun was secretly happy in his heart, he was really sensible, I just dozed off and sent a pillow! But his face didn't show any emotion, and he feigned surprise and said, "Really? Being able to serve by Lord Zhu Hong's side must be my blessing, how can I refuse. ”

Zhu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and instructed Zhou Yukun: "Okay, you follow the team first, and after I go back to the palace to deal with some things, I will arrange a position for you." ”

In this way, Zhou Yukun followed Zhu Hong's team into the palace without danger, but Wang Huan, who had fought with him before, still looked back to pay attention to him from time to time. Zhou Yukun could feel that Wang Huan's eyes were burning with fierce fighting intent, as if he wanted to fight with himself.

The area of this palace is not small, and the group walked for nearly ten minutes before they came to the door of a main hall. After Zhu Hong dismissed the soldiers, he led Wang Huan, Zhou Yukun and two other generals into the main hall together.

Zhou Yukun kept quietly bowing his head and following behind, because although Zhu Hong didn't know him, the other people under Zhu Hong knew him. The one who is most familiar with himself is Zhu Hong's son, Zhu Chengrui; And there is also a former Taishou of Shouchun City, Huang Tingfei. That's why I have to be so cautious, if I don't wait for the right time to be discovered, it won't be good!

Seeing that there were still two rows of ministers in the main hall, the previous smile on Zhu Hong's face quickly faded and was replaced by a majestic face. He slowly stepped up to the middle seat and gently lowered his bloated body.

At this time, Zhou Yukun followed the other two people around him and honestly stood in the team on both sides. Since they were standing relatively far back, the other ministers were not aware of Zhou Yukun's unfamiliar face.

At this moment, a familiar voice came into Zhou Yukun's ears, and he took a closer look and found that it was indeed Zhu Chengrui. "Father, you're finally back, I'm ......"

Before Zhu Chengrui's words were finished, another person beside him quickly stood up, bowed to Zhu Hong and said, "Father, please don't believe my brother's explanation, all of this was caused by him, if he didn't blindly connive at that woman, how could this kind of thing happen?" ”

Brother? Zhou Yukun looked at the person who spoke suspiciously, did he remember that Zhu Chengrui was not an only child? Why is there another brother? Could it be his cousin or something?

Zhu Hong's face was instantly gloomy as water, and he looked at Zhu Chengrui deeply: "Chengrui, is what your brother said true?" Although he gave me a general idea of the situation in his letter, I would like to hear your own version now! ”

"Dad, you can't ......," Zhu Chengrui's brother exclaimed.

"Shut up!" After Zhu Hong scolded angrily, he looked at Zhu Chengrui gloomily again.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Chengrui slowly raised his head and replied seriously: "Father, I admit that I have an unshirkable responsibility for this incident, because she was indeed introduced by me. However, I really don't know about her collusion with the same party to seize all three counties in our southern part this time, and it is even more impossible for me to collude with them......

"Hmph, the words are nice, how can the people you brought here have nothing to do with you? I think you must just want to occupy the territory and claim yourself the king, right? Zhu Chengrui's brother didn't dare to speak out loud this time, but just muttered silently on the side.

Zhu Chengrui ignored him and continued: "Father, think about it, you are my biological father, and she and I are just ordinary friends, how could I betray you and help an outsider?" Besides, even if I really want to rebel, then why am I still here? Isn't this waiting to be caught by you? ”

Nodding slightly, Zhu Hong obviously already believed Zhu Chengrui's explanation, after all, it was indeed as he said, how could his son unite with others to rebel against him? His expression also softened slightly: "Well, I believe you, you have been very smart since you were a child, and I believe that you will not do something stupid!" ”

Zhu Chengrui's brother wanted to say something, but Zhu Hong preemptively interrupted: "Chengxiang, okay, the top priority now is not for us to start internal strife ourselves, but to think more about the current solution." ”

When Zhu Chengxiang heard this, he could only forcibly swallow back the words in his stomach, he knew his father's character, if he continued to talk more, he would definitely be scolded. After glaring at Zhu Chengrui hatefully, he slowly retreated into the queue.

Zhu Hong coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, now our situation is not optimistic, Shouchun in the north is occupied by a hairy boy named Zhou Yukun, and the three counties of Yuzhang, Luling, and Lujiang in the south are also stolen by a yellow-haired girl named Yuan Xinwen. Although these people are not very powerful, this situation of being attacked on both sides is not a good situation. ”

What the! Yuan Xinwen?

Hearing this name, Zhou Yukun almost didn't exclaim, if he hadn't covered his mouth in time at the end, he would definitely have been heard by the people around him.

Yes, he was really shocked now, and he was shocked beyond measure. He never thought that he would come to Jianye this time and accidentally hear such a news. Yuan Xinwen was able to enter the dream realm? And he had the audacity to rob Zhu Hong's city?

Well, although Zhou Yukun did the same, he didn't want Yuan Xinwen to wade into such troubled waters, what if something happened to her?

No, we can't delay any longer, we must solve Zhu Hong's problem as soon as possible!!
