The clouds were thick in the sky for a while, but it never rained.

The sky was already bright, the rain had not yet fallen, and the long-lost morning sun actually emerged from the clouds. The winter sun shines through the curtains and shines on the antique house, making everything brighter.

Zhu Gaoxu was still in Yao Ji's room. He had gotten up, but he hadn't dressed yet, he was walking slowly by the window, dressed only in white silk and dirty clothes.

And Yao Ji was lying on her side on the bed, her arms as white as shallots supporting her head, with a smile in her eyes, and she kept looking at Zhu Gaoxu who was pacing.

"I have a bold idea." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned around and said.

"Huh?" Yao Ji let out a soft echo and continued to look at Zhu Gaoxu with interest.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I'm going to lock you up as a criminal!" ”

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "What does the prince mean, you want to treat me as an assassin last night?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "The people who captured the assassin last night were all soldiers of the Beisi, and they are quite reliable; I also told them to clean up the traces of the Assassins coming in. Next, as long as I reward them for their merits and order them to keep their internal information, the truth of the matter will definitely be hidden for a while.

And the shouting in the courtyard last night alarmed the people outside the wall; The people outside only knew that there was an Assassin in the line, but they didn't know what kind of Assassin it was......"

Yao Ji's eyes quickly showed a sudden expression, and the person also pulled the quilt and sat up. She is a very smart woman, and she must have understood what Zhu Gaoxu meant! Looking at her moving appearance, you can clearly understand her thoughts.

If last night's incident created the illusion that Yao Ji failed to assassinate Zhu Gaoxu; Although she didn't succeed, Yao Guangxiao didn't need to move Yao Fang...... At least not for the time being.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that Yao Ji seemed to understand the reason, so he said, "I don't want to see you depressed. ”

Yao Ji thought for a while, and chuckled: "If the prince wants to lock up people, aren't you afraid that I will be depressed?" When Zhu Gaoxu saw her smile, he naturally didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Yao Ji said again: "Is the prince going to lock me up, tie me up, and do whatever he wants?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Are you willing to let me do whatever I want?" ”

Yao Ji's eyes flickered, and she said a little embarrassedly: "As long as the prince wants to, why don't I want to do it......

At this moment, the voice of the eunuch Wang Gui suddenly came from outside the door: "Lord Wang, Tan Ma is urgent, Zhang Fu has changed early this morning!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed, and he was suddenly shocked; Then the smile on his face gradually appeared, full of surprise that could not be concealed. He calmed down for the time being, and responded, "This king will go later!" ”

Wang Gui's voice said: "The slave obeys. ”

Yao Ji put away her charming smile, and when she saw Zhu Gaoxu's happy appearance, she smiled and said, "The concubine is waiting for the prince to dress, and the prince will go to business first." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with force: "Okay!" ”

Yao Ji got up from the bed. The sunlight that penetrated through the curtains sprinkled on the skin of her face, beautiful and vibrant; In the bright light, the subtle expression on her face and everything about her can be seen very clearly. At this time, her face was very red, as if she had drunk wine, and there was no reluctance under that slightly ashamed and embarrassed look...... Perhaps only the strong person who really makes her admire can see her rich demeanor at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu's face was also very red, and his emotions were very high, not only because of the beautiful scenery at this time, but also because of the successful mutiny of the official army and the great benefits brought by the naval division, which also made him excited.

It was not easy for him to stabilize his mood a little, and under Yao Ji's service, he dressed well.

Then Yao Ji also got dressed, but before she had time to comb her makeup, her green hair was very messy. She sent Zhu Gaoxu to the side of the partition fan, and said softly: "The concubine can only live in the cage of the room, waiting for the prince's happiness......"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced back at her and said, "It's not long. ”

Yao Ji chuckled.

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. When he saw that Wang Gui was still standing outside the door, he said in a deep voice: "Tell your godson Cao Fu to take care of the person who saw the assassin last night." You will send someone to watch over Mrs. Yao and not allow her to go out. ”

Wang Gui was not a talkative person, so he immediately bent down and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Gaoxu whispered again: "It's just a show, but don't be too fake." ”

He said that he walked down the corridor under the eaves and went south. From time to time, there is a period of winter sunshine under the eaves, which makes people warm. Zhu Gaoxu felt that his pace was very brisk; He felt that his body was also fluttering, and if it weren't for his prince's steady bega, he really wanted to jump!

Maybe there are not many times when people can live and be happy from the bottom of their hearts. And now is that kind of pleasant moment.

Zhu Gaoxu came to the middle hall of Xingyuan, and he saw Sheng Yong, Ping'an, Qu Neng, Wang Bin and other generals, Mr. Li, Hou Hai and other civil officials, all waiting there. They got up early and heard the news of Zhang Fu, where can they still sit still?

Because it had been a while since he got the good news, Zhu Gaoxu was now able to stabilize his words and deeds, and he very calmly summoned the scouts first and personally inquired about the details of the official military camp.

Sheng Yong hugged his fists and said: "The prince is wise and powerful, bold and careful, this time without hurting my soldiers and soldiers, he took down the enemy's land and water army, and the 'battle of crime' can be decided!" Congratulations to the prince. ”

Mr. Li couldn't wait to say: "The sailor is simply a charcoal in the snow!" The lower officials heard that the main force of the slayer army had gone to Dongzhou Island in the south; Wang Yeyi immediately transferred the army back north and went to the place where the incident occurred; Answer Zhang Fu and take complete control of the situation! ”

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Immediately issue a military order, and quickly deliver the horse to the west coast of Dongzhou Island." ”

"Yes!" Mr. Li hugged his fists.

Zhu Gaoxu was also a little anxious, and wanted to lead the escort cavalry to the north of Hengzhou first; But he could think of the civil and military forces here, and all of them had to admonish him, so he gave up for the time being.

He now judges: Zhang Fujun must not be a fraudulent surrender. But last night there was a rumor of assassins, and the civil and military forces of the Han Wangjun Group would definitely not easily agree to Zhu Gaoxu taking a little risk! Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, although he didn't have to listen to dissuasion, it was also very troublesome to resist public opinion.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, came up with a compromise method, and said: "Immediately mobilize the main force of cavalry to go first!" The king himself will go and receive the surrender. ”

Sure enough, no one objected, and Mr. Li bowed again: "Your Majesty obeys orders!" Then he walked over to the table next to him.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up: "When the Ma army arrived outside Hengzhou City, he immediately reported it. ”

After saying that, he left the seat, and the civil and military forces saluted one after another.

Dongzhou Island is located on the Xiangjiang River in the south of Hengzhou City, not far from Hengzhou City. The cavalry maneuvered quickly, and it did not take long to move north; But at least 20,000 or 30,000 horsemen will gather and deploy, and it will take a lot of time.

Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the fact that he still had some time to go out of the city, so he wanted to meet the assassin last night.

The assassin was Duan Yang, and Zhu Gaoxu had already heard Wang Gui's report outside the door yesterday. When he was in Yunnan, Wang Gui also saw the woman.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked to the backyard, he saw the eunuch Wang Gui coming up. So he asked Wang Gui to lead the way and go to the place where Duan Yang was being held.

Without interrogation, Zhu Gaoxu gradually guessed Duan Yang's motives.

Zhu Gaoxu has no grievances with this woman, he caught her before and let her go. Not only did he not offend her, but he was also a little affectionate...... The only possible reason why this woman wants to assassinate him is to deal with Mu Fu!

After all, people must have a strong motive for such desperate and desperate things; It is impossible to offend her by a trivial matter, and she will go out.

As long as Duan Yang's clan can kill Zhu Gaoxu, even if the "Battle of Crime" achieves an absolute advantage, the Han Wangjun may fail! Many soldiers and military households don't want to push the Ming Dynasty, they just want to be rewarded; And if Zhu Gaoxu is gone, it will be difficult for someone within the Han Wangjun to order and unite people's hearts.

Once the Han Wangjun is defeated, Mufu is one of the biggest sinners who "plot" against the imperial court, and the whole family may not be able to keep it! This was Duan Yang's only possible motive.

Wang Gui pushed open a side room, and Zhu Gaoxu strode in. I saw a palace maid treating the wound on Duan Yang's leg, the palace maid looked back, hurriedly curtched, and then took a blanket to cover Duan Yang's knee.

Duan Yang's hands were tied behind her back to a Taishi, and she didn't struggle at this time, just stared at Zhu Gaoxu coldly. Zhu Gaoxu looked at her a few times, and felt that this woman had really aged a lot in a few years.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs all withdrew. He also pulled a Taishi chair over and sat down next to Duan Yang.

Unexpectedly, Duan Yang's clan sneered, and she spoke first: "Those cruel and insidious people of the Mu family, King Han actually took him as a confidant, are there all such people around King Han?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her and said, "According to Mrs. Duan's intentions, how many good people are there in the civil and military forces who hold great power?" ”

"Hahaha......" Duan Yang screamed frantically.

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and looked at her coldly, without a smile at all. The behavior of the two in the house is very weird.

Duan Yang smiled tiredly and said, "I dare to do it, I just wanted to kill you last night!" If you want to be burned to death, just come!"

Zhu Gaoxu was silent, things are so strange: he has resented many people and wants to put them to death as soon as possible; On the contrary, this Duan Yang wanted to kill himself, but he couldn't hate it.

"King Han must understand my intentions, and he came to see me, and he wants to interrogate something?" Duan Yang's Road.

Zhu Gaoxu really didn't come to ask her motives, he always felt that Duan Xue hated a little strange in his heart; Now that he suddenly caught Duan Yang, he just wanted to know if Duan Yang knew something.

"Duan Xue hated something to this king......" Zhu Gaoxu said thoughtlessly.

"Mu Bin?" Duan Yang blurted out.

Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly very surprised! Fortunately, he looked down with his eyes just now, looking thoughtful, and did not show his inner surprise at this time. After a moment, he had taken his breath and nodded slightly.
