The first few soldiers held horses, followed by Wang Bin of the hundred households riding first, and Zhu Gaoxu then also patted his horse and walked out of the corner gate.

He looked sad, he didn't expect to come to the Ming Dynasty to be a prince, and he would experience the feeling of helplessness and confession in his previous life.

At this moment, I saw a horse rushing from the street, and passers-by were so frightened that they avoided it. Zhu Gaochi looked sideways, wasn't the eunuch Wang Gui riding on the horse?

Zhu Gaoxu reined in his mount and stood in place waiting. After a while, Wang Gui ran closer, turned over and got off the horse, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu saw that his expression was different, and his eyes were shining, so he grabbed the reins of the horse, kicked the stirrups, and tilted his body sideways. Wang Gui stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, held his mouth with both hands, and whispered a word close to Zhu Gaoxu's ear.

"Let's go!" Zhu Gaoxu immediately replied, and then shouted: "Wang Bin, you take people back to the mansion, I won't go to the Yanwang Mansion for the time being." ”

Wang Bin hugged his fists on the horse and said, "The last general will be ordered." ”

Zhu Gaoxu then took Wang Gui with him and rode straight to the poor Han City. As soon as they turned from the street to the mouth of an alley, they immediately saw a wine shop with a banner with the word "Bin".

The door of the wine shop was closed, Zhu Gaoxu turned off the horse, handed the reins to Wang Gui, and walked quickly to the door. He first reached out and grabbed the placket of his shirt and pulled it straight down, but unfortunately the light gray clothes inside were made of flax, which was breathable and sweat-absorbing, but it could not be ironed, and it was always wrinkled. Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and stroked his sideburns again, his sadness was gone, and his expression was very calm.

Pushing open the door of the wine shop, the man standing inside, wearing a green robe and a big hat, turned around and looked up at the door. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the face under the big hat, who was Zhang Xin?

Zhang Xin hugged his fists and said: "King Gaoyang, I will be lucky." ”

Zhu Gaoxu returned the salute with a smile: "General Zhang, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his arm and pointed to the stairs: "General Zhang, please upstairs." ”

"Please." Zhang Xin also said.

This meeting was neither formal nor solemn, but it was still much more polite than meeting bare-chested in a pair of shorts and in the bed of a prostitute.

Zhu Gaoxu walked ahead, followed by Zhang Xin, and turned back along the wooden staircase. Zhu Gaoxu's mood also rose with his steps, gradually rising from his depressed mood. When I walked to the staircase above, my eyes penetrated through a window, and I suddenly opened up and my heart opened.

The two sat down opposite each other at a square wooden table, and Zhang Xin finally took off the big hat on his head and put it on the table. This kind of big hat has a wide brim, so it is called a big hat, and it can cover half of the face when pressed forward...... Zhu Gaoxu watched Korean costume dramas in his previous life, and the hats worn by the officials of the ancient dynasty and the Xian dynasty in it are a bit like this.

After a while, Wang Gui also came up with two teas and carefully placed the teacups on the table. He's been staying in a liquor store for the past two days, and he should have boiled the water before.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a casual tone: "Go and prepare a felt car." ”

"Slave and maid, let's do it." Wang Guidao.

When Zhang Xin heard this, the expression on his face changed slightly. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly calmed down, feeling like he was afraid that a cooked duck would fly.

"King Gaoyang is obviously a wine shop here, why haven't you seen a single guest for a few days?" Zhang Xin said.

After listening to this, Zhu Gaoxu judged that Zhang Xin was not the first time to come here to see, but just the first time he came in. He pretended to be calm and replied: "The two cups of tea you and I drink now will sell for 500 yuan." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xin picked up the teacup, lifted the lid of the cup and flipped it gently, "What's unique?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I bought it from a random shop on the side of the road." ”

Zhang Xin said: "Then why is it worth 500 Wen?" ”

"So General Zhang also saw it, and there wasn't even a single guest." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

The two of them immediately looked at each other, and both showed a reluctant smile.

Zhang Xin put down the teacup and said after a moment: "I encountered something today, so I went to ask my mother." My mother said that our family rushed the king of the north and tried her best to admonish it...... In fact, before that, I was very hesitant. ”

"Oh......" Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be confused, and after answering, he was deliberately silent for a while before asking, "What happened to General Zhang?" ”

There was silence again. On a cloudy afternoon, everything is monotonous and boring, and the gray old wine shops in the old alleys are even more colorless, and they seem very long in just a while.

At this time, Zhang Xin owed a debt and reached his upper body, and Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly cooperated with him to stretch his head forward. Zhang Xin whispered: "The urgent order issued by Qi Tai, the secretary of the Chaoli Military Department, and the secret decree, want me to arrest the Yan King tomorrow!" ”

"Huh?!" Zhu Gaoxu was also shocked, he wanted to win over Zhang Xin, but he didn't expect that something big would come all of a sudden!

Zhang Xin said, exhaled a long breath, and sat back on the bench. After a while, he spoke again: "Why did Qi Tai choose me?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "I asked General Zhang last time, if you have offended Qi Tai recently, you don't say it." Isn't it obvious that General Zhang is cheating this time, thinking about it carefully, there is more than one pit in it! ”

"That's it!" Zhang Xin frowned, "It's come to this, and it's useless to care about those now!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said, "Did General Zhang bring a secret decree?" ”

Zhang Xin was silent.

At this point, Zhu Gaoxu really began to feel anxious, "General Zhang will go to Yanwang's Mansion with me immediately!" ”

Zhang Xin still sat still, bowed his head and frowned, and asked, "King Gaoyang came to me, is it what King Yan meant?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth and said: "Of course it is what my father meant, he just didn't make specific arrangements...... General Zhang, don't worry, I am my father's own son, one is prosperous and the other is lost, life and death are related, what else can I have? ”

"Good!" Zhang Xin slapped his hands on the table, and the man stood up.

Zhu Gaoxu secretly let out a long breath, walked to the window and poked his head out, glanced down, and turned around, "General Zhang, wait a minute, wait for Wang Gui to get the felt cart and then leave." On the side of the poor man city, it is true that you can't bump into the people in the officialdom, but it is better to take a car when you get to the Yanwang Mansion for a while. ”

Zhang Xin nodded after hearing this: "King Gaoyang is thoughtful and meticulous. ”

After the two talked, Zhu Gaoxu took Zhang Xin downstairs first. When Wang Gui drove a felt cart to the door, the two went out, Zhang Xin reached out and pressed the big hat down, and got into the carriage flexibly and crisply.

"Repulsion!" Wang Gui shouted and shook his whip.

The carriage shook for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu opened the corner of the straw curtain and looked out, turned his head and said, "It's almost there...... General Zhang, you and Wang Gui will stay in the car for a while, and I will go first to see my father. ”

Zhang Xin said: "Okay. ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but ask again: "Did you bring the secret decree?" ”

Zhang Xin was stunned for a moment, and finally reached into his arms, and there was a few sounds of "popping" needles and threads breaking, he finally took out a small bamboo tube, but held it tightly in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I can only give it to King Yan himself!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at his hand and had to give up.

When the carriage entered the gatehouse of Yanwangfu and stopped, Zhu Gaoxu first hugged his fist at Zhang Xin, and saw Zhang Xin's eyes like torches, staring at himself and nodding. The two of them didn't say anything, and Zhu Gaoxu went straight out of the curtain.

There was a eunuch waiting outside the car, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxu, he immediately took him inside.

When Zhu Gaoxu and the eunuch arrived at the place, they saw horses guarding the gate outside the small courtyard. Ma He said: "King Gaoyang, you are here, why are you so late?" Let's get inside. ”

Zhu Gaoxu gently bowed his hand to Ma He and strode into the courtyard.

He heard the sound of talking, followed the sound into the door, and saw King Yan sitting on the chair untidy, probably pretending to be crazy before he had time to clean up, and next to him stood the white and fat prince and monk Yao Guangxiao.

The prince turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and his eyes were really unfriendly!

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and bowed: "Meet my father and eldest brother." ”

Shizi said: "Do you still think I am the eldest brother?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: "You are my eldest brother, and you can't change it in this life." ”

King Yan opened his mouth and asked, "Gao Xu, did you poison the prince with Jun Ying Grass in Jingshi?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, several people paid attention. Then Zhu Gaoxu's gaze swept over Yao Guangxiao, and he hugged his fists and said, "Who did my father and eldest brother listen to?" ”

King Yan said in a thick and steady tone: "You just have to answer." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Back to my father's words, no." ”

Shizi raised his arm and pointed at Zhu Gaoxu with his finger: "At the beginning, I didn't think much about all kinds of signs, but later I realized that you still want to quibble?" Someone saw you pull out the Junying Grass! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was a little weak when he heard the first half of the sentence, thinking that the prince had mastered a lot of clues, and instantly had the idea of "confessing", just like confessing to his family countless times in his previous life and gambling again!

However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately dispelled this thought......

There's no way anyone can see him pull out the Junying Grass! Zhu Gaoxu was very sure that no one saw it. Just as Zhang Xin said, "Handling things is very meticulous", especially for such important matters, Zhu Gaoxu could not be careless, he was very patient when doing things, and waited for a long time.

"Junying grass is poisonous? Is the eldest brother saying that there is Jun Yingcao in Nanjing Mansion? Zhu Gaoxu was cheeky and looked dazed, "Eldest brother, don't listen to some people's slander, I have nothing to do?" ”

At this moment, King Yan snorted in his nose. Shizi and Zhu Gaoxu both looked sideways together, and they didn't seem to understand who King Yan's tone was aimed at.

Shizi said angrily: "You actually lied! If I can't be sure, how can I call you to my father? Gao Xu, you just want to say one thing, why do you treat me like this? ”

Zhu Gaoxu had already decided that the prince was cheating, so he looked like he was beaten to death and refused to admit it.

Shizi said again: "I only recently learned that thing is poisonous......

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he suddenly thought: Du Qianrui did not betray herself in the slightest, at least until now...... Otherwise, the prince of the world would just talk like this, and just say what Du Qianrui saw and heard.

However, if the prince is allowed to deduce like this, Zhu Gaoxu feels more and more unfavorable to himself.

He immediately interrupted the words of the son: "Eldest brother, slow down. Father, my sons are here today, and there are other important things that cannot be delayed! ”
