The city gates in the distance were closed, and the walls were full of swords and guns, and the muzzles of the cannons were pitch black; A strong, large city is like a fortress surrounded by iron barrels. Qu Neng took several horses and rushed to the south gate of Chengdu more than 100 steps away, and he could already see a row of heads hanging on the door.

"Boom! Rumble! Two cannon shots rang out from the city walls. Qu Neng slapped his horse and continued to approach.

The subordinate general next to him shouted: "Danger! Qu Dudu, don't think about it. ”

There was a "whoosh" sound in the air, and a cluster of arrows fell to the ground in front of Qu Neng, and it was densely nailed to the ground. Qu Neng reined in his horse and looked up at the head of the city. The green tendons on his temples bulged, and the red on his skin seemed to be pressed out of the blood.

He didn't say anything, just his hands clenched tightly and the tendons on his wrists nearly broke.

At this time, a rider came from behind and shouted: "King Han ordered, Qu Dudu immediately returned to the Chinese army, and must not disobey the order!" ”

Qu Neng turned his horse's head without saying a word, and looked back at the head on the city gate. "Drive!" The generals and soldiers around him also hurriedly patted their horses away from ......

In front of the large camp lined up with a large number of foot riders, Zhu Gaoxu saw that Qu Neng had come back on horseback, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is not a particularly surprising occurrence. Zhu Gaoxu understands in his heart that there is a bit of a contradiction between the nobles and officials, and they have to be more or less affectionate, but the current situation is either you die or I die, how can there be any rules?

However, as soon as the battle of the Taiping Field ended, Qu Neng's entire family was immediately killed to vent his anger, and at this time, Zhu Gaoxu also truly felt the cruelty and malice of the world.

When Qu Neng returned to the Chinese army, Zhu Gaoxu scolded loudly, "Xue Lu has no bearing at all, and if he can't defeat my dignified formation, he will only vent his anger with the old and weak women and children." How can such a bully be invincible?! ”

He then said to Qu Neng: "Governor Qu Du mourns the change, when we take Chengdu City, we will bury Mrs. Qu and Gongzi first." ”

…… Before the Han army came to the city of Chengdu, they occupied the county seat of Huayang.

Zhu Yueyi, the king of Huayang County, who lived in Huayang County, hurriedly packed up some belongings, abandoned the county king's mansion, and quickly fled to Chengdu City.

The Shu Wangfu sent a warden and arranged a small courtyard for him to live in temporarily. Before Zhu Yueyi arrived at the place, she was very unhappy. Horse-drawn carriages drove on uneven roads, bumpy and bumpy; I don't know what kind of broken place this is, and no one has even repaired the road!

The carriage stopped, someone picked up the curtain behind it, and Zhu Yueyi bent down and walked out. When he looked up, the dust had not yet settled on the broken brick road, and the old house in front of him looked gray.

Zhu Yueyi's face immediately pulled down, it's not that he can't live in such a place, after all, he is on the run, and there is nothing more dilapidated in the house...... But the matter of face made him difficult to let go! As the son of the king of Shu, he returned to his father's territory and lived in this place?

"You deliberately chose such a place for this king?" Zhu Yueyi pointed to the green-robed officer next to him and asked.

The official hurriedly bowed down and said: "The Changshi Mansion of the King of Shu decides everything, and the lower official is just ordered to greet the King of Huayang County." ”

Zhu Yuexi suddenly snatched the groom's whip! Seeing this, the official's face turned pale, and he stood there very embarrassed, holding his breath and staring.

However, Zhu Yueyi finally understood some rules, and did not beat the officials of the Shu Palace. He suddenly threw a whip over, hit the groom in the face, and scolded: "You dog eating Zhu's meal!" What's laughing, what's funny, huh? ”

"Ahh The groom covered his face with his hands aggrieved and said, "Lord Wang, the little one didn't laugh, he really didn't laugh......"

The other white-faced servant also looked at Zhu Yuexi with an innocent expression. The white-faced servant didn't say a word, rubbed his hands a few times and took them away, and a red mark appeared on his cheek; Just as the fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, the whip marks on the face of the white-faced man were injured by mistake.

Zhu Yueyi's expression showed an apologetic look, glanced at the white-faced servant, and continued to reprimand the groom.

Just then, a group of men and horses stopped not far from the old mansion. "Ahem, ahem." A few coughs came, and a thin, pale young man was seen walking out of the carriage with difficulty, supported by some slaves. The young man was wearing a four-clawed dragon suit, and it was Zhu Yuexi, the half-brother of the prince of Shu and the king of Huayang County.

The prince called out and said, "You go into the house first, what kind of system is it to make noise here, don't make outsiders laugh." Now that Chengdu is in chaos, the people of Changshi Mansion must have just been negligent; You stay for two days, and then I will go to my father when I return home, and help you intercede and change to a good place. ”

Fake hits! Zhu Yueyi scolded indignantly in her heart.

Of course, Zhu Yueyi didn't appreciate it at all! He said in his heart: Look at the son of the world has become like that, it's hard to say how long he can live, Rao is like this, the son of the world still has to endure in front of outsiders, pretending to be kind and tolerant?

Everyone just admires these fake things, but can the son of the world deceive outsiders and deceive his own brother? Zhu Yueyi has long seen through it, the family loves to pretend to be good people and pretend to be harmless to humans and animals!

Zhu Yueyi said coldly: "The prince is just talking? ”

"No, of course not...... Ahem! Today I will go to see my father. The prince swore an oath.

Zhu Yueyi waved his hand: "Stay here first, and help the prince to come in and rest." ”

Shizi waved his hand and said, "I am glad that you have that heart." I heard that you are in Chengdu City today, so let's take a look. You have just arrived, and when you have packed up, you will come to the palace to speak. ”

The warden of the Shu King's Mansion opened the gatehouse, and a group of people entered one after another.

After a while, the white-faced servant took advantage of Zhu Yuexi's hurry to go to the toilet to change clothes, and followed up and whispered: "No wonder the prince can't fight the world, not only did he make a judgment just now, but in the future, you will have to suffer a big loss!" The prince of Shu does not need to add oil and vinegar, so he complained about your grievances today to the king of Shu and said, what do you think the king of Shu thinks? ”

Zhu Yueyi exhaled angrily: "Don't look at the age of the prince, he is that kind of person, very fake!" Anyway, my father never disliked me, not much of this. Just change to a better mansion and don't be so ashamed. ”

"The prince is really broken and broken." The white-faced servant said.

Zhu Yueyi glanced back, pointed to the face of the white-faced slave, and whispered: "Hou Dianzhan, this king didn't mean to beat you. Even for the sake of King Han, I won't treat you like this. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Hou Dianzhan and Hou Hai of the Han Palace's Mansion immediately waved their hands, looking light, "Needless to say, the prince also knows." ”

A group of slaves and their families in the mansion were busy settling down and tidying up the mansion. Of course, Zhu Yueyi didn't have to do anything, he quickly found the study and walked in to ask someone to polish the ink and write.

Hou Hai hurriedly picked up the inkstone and came in.

"Rustle...... "Rustle Hou Hai whispered while grinding the ink, "The prince doesn't want to think of a way?" ”

Zhu Yueyi pondered for a moment, and soon said with a sudden expression, "As soon as you see me in Huayang, I will know what you mean." But I think it's okay to wait, look at the appearance of the son, like a long-lived person? ”

Hou Hai said softly and quietly: "Doesn't the prince have a son-in-law named Zhu Youyu?" ”

Zhu Yueyi was stunned for a moment and did not say anything.

Hou Hai continued to whisper: "Back then, Emperor Taizu liked Prince Yiwen (Yongle Chu, changed Zhu Biao's name "Emperor Xiaokang" to Prince Yiwen), Prince Yiwen collapsed, and Taizu did not say that he would pass the throne to Emperor Taizong. When the first emperor Taizong was alive, he also liked the ...... of the emperor's grandson"

Zhu Yuexi's face turned blue and white for a while, and he didn't refute Hou Hai, because he knew in his heart: Hou Hai was telling the truth.

Hou Hai said again: "Your cousin, King Han, although he has never masked with you, he empathizes with what happened to you!" ”

"Does King Han feel this way?" Zhu Yueyi hurriedly asked.

Hou Hai immediately said with a serious face: "Of course." How much credit did the King of Han make in the southern and northern wars in the past, and the treatment he can receive is not the same as that of the prince? Whenever King Han mentions King Huayang, he is full of grievances for you. ”

Zhu Yueyi sighed: "Everyone in the world says that the prince of Shu treats people kindly, but I don't know how fake they are!" Finally someone understands the inside story, alas! ”

Hou Hai immediately bowed his head over, "As long as the prince votes for the king of Han now, the king of Han will ensure that you will be the prince of the king of Shu!" Time must not be lost, you have to think about it, if you lose the help of the King of Han at this time, who will say a word for you in the future? ”

Zhu Yueyi threw the dry pen on the paper, stood up, and put his hands behind his back.

Hou Hai was silent, and continued to grind the ink with his head "rustling", looking up at the king of Huayang from time to time.

After a long time, Zhu Yueyi turned around and asked in a low voice, "King Han really thinks I'm wronged?" ”

Hou Hai nodded vigorously without hesitation: "If the prince of Shu has three longs and two shorts, but the king of Shu does not let you be the prince, is there anything more wronged than this in the world?" The prince thinks about it, and the king of Shu will ask you to be the son of the world? ”

"In the future, if the King of Han becomes the emperor, I will have a great contribution to the court...... Even if it is a concubine, it is reasonable to be the prince of Shu? Zhu Yueyi asked nervously.

"Of course, of course!" Hou Hai suppressed his excitement, his face was a little red, and the whip mark seemed to fade a little, "Think about Lord Lingtang again." Mother is more precious than son, if you become a son, will Lingtang still be subservient? ”

When Zhu Yueyi heard this, his eyes immediately moistened, and he choked up, "My mother has always been bullied and despised in her life, and she is really bitter......

Hou Hai stared at his eyes, as if he had accidentally found a large pile of gold, and his eyes were shining! He quickly wiped his eyes, but still couldn't get out of his tears, "Xia Guan suddenly remembered his own mother, who had suffered all her life, and when her son became an official, she ...... Every time Xia Guan thought of this, his heart was like a knife. People live for a lifetime, but they must not miss the opportunity! ”

Zhu Yueyi gritted her teeth and asked in a deep voice, "What should I do?" ”

Hou Hai's face flashed with joy, and he immediately bowed his head and spoke quietly.

"Wan Quan?" Zhu Yueyi glared.

"Shh Hou Hai hurriedly pressed his index finger to his lips.
