Chapter XXXVIII
Gu Lu Zhu and Zhang are in the same breath, there are too many opportunities to meet each other, even Zhang Xuanji, who can't live in the depths, Zhu Rui has also seen it once, and he is still the kind that does not wear a curtain fence. But when I saw it again this time, I didn't recognize it, thinking it was Xu You's inner relative, although I was surprised by the rare beauty, but I only looked at it for a glance and immediately looked away, and I would never look at it a second time, it was not a battle man among straight men.
After greeting Zhan Wenjun familiarly, Zhu Rui went straight to the point and said, "Qilang, the fourth uncle asked me to tell you, if the general situation is impossible, please leave Jinling quickly, and if you are late, you will have to worry about your life." ”
"Fourth Uncle Xie cares, I'm so badly injured, in fact, it's the same everywhere."
"The fourth uncle also said that if Shichiro shirked the blame with serious injuries, he would tell him what he said." Zhu Rui hesitated, obviously Zhu Zhi's words were not very good, and said, "Little rabbit cub, hurry up and go back to Qiantang!" Seriously injured? You won't die if I'm dead! ”
Xu You laughed and said, "I know that I can deceive the world, but I can't deceive Fourth Uncle Zhu!" ”
Zhu Rui admired it greatly, but he didn't admire Zhu Zhi, after so many years, Zhu Zhi's immortal IQ has long been numb, and what he admires is Xu You. In a delicate place like Jinling, it is really possible to disguise itself as a seriously injured person without being discovered by anyone, and from then on, the enemy is clear and secret, and no matter what you do, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
He still learned Zhu Zhi's tone and said, "If Xu You really refuses to be obedient and leaves, give him that gift." However, if he thinks it through, once the gift comes in handy, there is no turning back! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xu You to express his position, he said with a smile: "Qilang must want this gift?" ”
"Those who know me, the son is foolish!"
The gift sent by Zhu Rui was a man, a man who should have died in Xuanwu Lake, and also the bitter master of Wei Tianzhi's invasion of fertile land, and the father who was forced to death in Wang Yan's mouth.
His name is Tao Baiyu.
Tao Baiyu is a common man, but not a poor man, he can be regarded as a big landowner, made a lot of money in business, bought land on the north side of Xuanwu Lake, built a huge mansion, just adjacent to the Yangtze River and Xuanwu Lake connection inlet, the geographical location is very important, if the boat comes upstream, he can be the first to see at home.
Xu You speculated that this was probably the reason why Tao Baiyu was targeted by Wei Tianzhi!
Since Wang Yan got the clues, Xu You instructed the winter solstice to investigate secretly, in just a few days, there could be no results, but I didn't expect that someone sent a pillow and a pure natural rubber pillow when he fell asleep.
"How did the fourth uncle know that I was looking for this clue?"
Zhu Rui laughed, lowered his voice, and said: "Wang Yan has a little friendship with the fourth uncle, and the boredom in his heart has nowhere to vent, so the fourth uncle instructed him to come to you to confide......"
Xu You suddenly realized that Wang Yan took the initiative to come to him at the ceremony of the world's monk lords, and used Wei Tianzhi's forcible occupation of good land as an entry point to attract his attention. This routine should have been taught to him by Zhu Zhi, and even the matter of Wei Tianzhi was told to him by Zhu Zhi, so it is not surprising that Tao Baiyu has long been in Zhu Zhi's hands.
However, Zhu Zhi asked Wang Yan to contact Xu You, not only for Wei Tianzhi, but for the secrets involving royal privacy that Wang Yan later told Xu You on the rotten stove boat. Even Zhu Zhi doesn't know these secrets, and Wang Yan is not a fool, if it weren't for the last moment, he naturally couldn't tell anyone, especially Zhu Zhi, a world-famous big man with a lot of wisdom and close to demons, in fact, in terms of credibility, he may not be able to catch up with Xu You, a small character who has no worries and seems harmless to humans and animals.
Therefore, Zhu Zhi skillfully introduced Xu You to Wang Yan, and only Xu You had the means to win Wang Yan's trust, so as to reveal the secrets he hid in his heart.
Indeed, as Zhu Zhi expected, Wang Yan finally chose to tell Xu You everything, and then left Jinling immediately, saying that he went to Yizhou, who knows where he went? He is not short of money, even if he goes south to Guangzhou and crosses the ocean, it is not impossible.
Wang Yan is very cautious and smart.
Sending Zhu Rui away, Zhan Wenjun sighed: "It is said that Zhu Zhi has Zhuge 's magic and clever calculations, but he has no Zhuge worries, and he is called Xiao Zhuge , but in fact, it is still excessive." Today's news is well-known! ”
"Under the fame, how can there be a vain?" Xu You can be said to know Zhu Zhi's power better than anyone else, so he is extremely careful to maintain a good personal relationship with the Zhu family, and never goes beyond the norm to participate in the power struggle within the Zhu family.
The last time he went to Fuchun County, Zhu Yi deliberately wooed him to seek power for Zhu Cong, Xu You resolutely avoided it, on the one hand, he didn't look down on Zhu Cong's character, and on the other hand, it was naturally because Zhu Zhi didn't express his position.
If Zhu Zhi suddenly expressed his support for Zhu Cong, then there was nothing to say, Xu You would be able to call Zhu Cong brother and brother immediately, and the law of true fragrance would never fail.
Xu You conspired with Qingming, Zhan Wenjun, and Dong Solstice all night. Although Zhang Xuanji is smart, she is not one of those ladies who don't understand current affairs, when she was on Longshi Mountain, when she witnessed the person shouting prophecy and jumping off the cliff to die, her performance impressed Xu You. But Xu You didn't want Zhang Xuanji to be contaminated with too much darkness and blood, dirty and mortal, it was rare to have a girl as clean as a lotus, he would rather lean over into the mud and exchange her for spotless!
And Zhan Wenjun is different, since she married into the Guo Mansion, she has never been out of all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and many times the situation she faces is actually more difficult and dangerous than Xu You, at this critical juncture, she is not only a companion of spirit and flesh, but also a comrade-in-arms who can fight side by side!
On the morning of the second day, Xu You connected eight firewood carts vertically and horizontally, and pulled a huge gift shrouded in black cloth to the front of the princess's mansion, attracting countless people to watch on the way, no one knew what was inside, but since it was so grand, it was given to the princess, and it must be priceless.
Entering the gate of the mansion, the gifts were parked in the courtyard, and many palace maids and eunuchs looked up and down curiously, speculating what treasure Xu You took to please the princess. To put it mildly, An Yuxiu hasn't seen anything, she really wants to send it secretly, it doesn't hurt to send it badly, who makes the princess like it, even if she sends a few words, she is happy. can make such a fuss, and when the black cloth is opened, the result is unsatisfactory, not only Xu You is embarrassed, but the princess is also gloomy.
"Weizhi, are you feeling better?" An Yuxiu didn't care about the gift, what she cared about was Xu You, who hadn't sat down before they met, and the first thing she said was to ask about his condition.
Xu You's face turned a little ruddy, and he seemed to be a little better than before, and said: "Thanks to the medicinal materials sent by the princess, the ginseng snow lotus hangs every day, and even the dead can be saved!" ”
An Yuxiu's beautiful eyes flashed with microwaves, and she said, "Don't say dead words!" I want you to live, live well! ”
I couldn't answer this, and then it began to be ambiguous, Xu You changed the topic and said in a low voice: "Please princess retreat!" ”
An Yuxiu's face flushed, she bit her lip and hesitated, then waved her hand to let everyone go down. Xu You looked at his face, and secretly said that it was broken, this time the transfer did not improve, and the atmosphere was more ambiguous than just now.
"Ahem, ahem!" Xu You coughed twice, he was a patient, and he had the privilege of coughing, and said, "I will invite the princess to see someone later, maybe...... This way of appearing is more abrupt, the princess must not be afraid, and try not to make a sound. ”
An Yuxiu knew that she wanted to be crooked, and her face was even more red and transparent, but her self-esteem as a princess made her quickly adjust her emotions and said, "Okay! ”
As soon as the words fell, a cool breeze blew from the window next to him, and there were really two more people in the room, one was Qingming, Xu You's house slave, An Yuxiu recognized it, and the other was very faceless.
"This is Tao Baiyu, a person from Jinling, in order to avoid people's eyes, I have to take this strategy......"
When the palace maids in the courtyard were looking at each other, An Yuxiu and Xu You finally came out of the back room, and An Yuxiu said with interest: "Oh, where is the gift?" ”
"Princess, please!"
Originally, in her mind, Xu You might send a poem, or a calligraphy, which was already a very valuable and meaningful gift. But unexpectedly, when she saw the tightly wrapped thing in the front yard covered in black cloth, her beautiful eyes were still wide in surprise, and she said, "What is this?" ”
Xu You clapped his hands, and Qingming personally uncovered the black cloth, revealing the true face of the four-wheeled ox cart. Four-wheeled carts have as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, and they are not rare, although this ox cart is inlaid with agate, tortoiseshell, ivory, jade and other treasures, and the decoration is beautiful, but An Yuxiu was born in the royal family, and has seen too many expensive gifts, so it is not surprising.
However, for her, as long as it is something sent by Xu You, it is always different.
But the palace maids didn't think so, and after tossing for a long time, the big trees outside the princess's mansion were full of people eating melons...... Or four-wheeled, isn't that a big joke?
The four-wheeled car is like the old lady's aunt, who died of menopause 1,800 years ago, okay? Get Jinling to show off, it's really embarrassing to throw it to grandma's house, not to mention practicality, just about luxury, can it compare to the princess's fairy car?
In the face of the disdain of the courtyard, Xu You was indifferent, An Yuxiu's pretty face was full of soft joy, and said: "It's a little bothered!" My Xianyou car has been old lately, and it squeaks when it encounters a bit of a bump, so it's better to get a new one. From now on, travel is it, can it have a nice name? ”
Of course, Xu You knew that An Yuxiu didn't see the mystery, and said with a smile: "Princess, this car is very different from ordinary ox carts, can you borrow the royal ox of the Xianyou car to sit on it and give it a try?" He pointed to Qingming and said, "I am the princess of this song, safe and sound, please rest assured princess." ”
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
An Yuxiu listened to what Xu You said, and immediately jumped to try, just about to get into the car, a middle-aged man in a purple robe happened to walk in from outside the house, immediately stepped forward to stop, and said in a deep voice: "Princess, it's better for me to drive......
This person has a long figure, a Chinese character face, and broad-leaf eyebrows, standing in the abyss, he can almost feel the majestic flow of true qi. An Yuxiu frowned slightly, and said, "Zhao Guanhu, step aside!" ”
There is a Lin Shuanghu in the palace, and there is a Zhao Guanhu next to the princess. Zhao Guanhu knelt on his knees, but did not listen to the order to retreat. Seeing that An Yuxiu was about to be angry, Xu You relieved the siege and said, "Do you want to invite your family together?" If it weren't for the fact that there was another mystery when this car was driven, it wouldn't hurt to let your family drive alone. ”
"Thank you Lang Jun for your understanding!"
Zhao Guanhu glanced at Xu You gratefully, and the position of the emperor with Qingming couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He didn't take Qingming in his eyes at first, and he felt that it was humiliating to be a domestic slave with Xu You, but when he arrived at this place within reach, he suddenly found that he couldn't determine the location of the other party.
He should be the part of Xu You when he was assassinated by the Three Heavens of the Six Heavens, Zhao Guanhu put away his contempt, looked ahead, and concentrated, lest he would be compared to him and lose face as a princess.
An Yuxiu lifted the lotus step lightly, and when she bent down to enter the carriage, she suddenly turned her head, and the light that slanted through the branches and leaves smeared a very beautiful blush between her eyebrows, and said, "Weizhi, aren't you coming up?" ”
Xu You bowed and replied: "This is the princess's special driver, you don't dare to trespass!" ”
An Yuxiu didn't say anything, entered the carriage and sat down, her voice was a little majestic, and said, "It's okay!" ”
