Just returned to Beiping, Princess Xu left Zhu Gaochu for dinner, but Zhu Gaochu politely declined, saying that he would go after a few days of rest...... When he said this, it was originally just a pretext, but within a few days he actually went.

I remember that the scenery I saw in Nanjing was so beautiful, but now Zhu Gaoxu is riding a horse and walking in Beiping City, but his eyes are full of gray colors. The neighborhood is also horizontal and vertical, which is very monotonous.

Only the red wall of the Yanwang Mansion added a bit of color to Beiping City.

Zhu Gaoxu entered the palace of King Yan and met Princess Xu first. But Xu Miaojin was beside him, so he didn't ask anything, just said some homely things. When it was time for You, Princess Xu left Zhu Gaoxu for dinner, and Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the situation to agree.

I have never seen Xu Miaojin eat with King Yan and the princess, and today is no exception.

It was still in that luxurious dining room, with a round table in the middle, a table with exquisite cloud brocade, and all kinds of expensive things around it. The colorful pictures of ladies on the walls make people forget the withering grass outside for a while.

After the dishes and chopsticks were set, King Yan hurriedly walked into the dining room. Zhu Gaoxu and the others hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Sit, sit down." King Yan said casually. He walked to the top seat and sat down first, and Zhu Gaoxu and the others sat down one after another.

King Yan glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "I heard that Gaoxu came to eat, otherwise he wouldn't have come back to eat, and he was busy." ”

Princess Xu said with a smile: "Look, the prince is still very worried about you in his heart, but when the battle starts, he is usually too busy." ”

"Sons and ministers are considerate of their fathers." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Without Princess Xu saying it, Zhu Gaoxu can also feel that King Yan attaches great importance to him, and King Yan, as a father, is already very face-saving...... On the battlefield, Zhu Gaoxu held his head and worked hard for him, which was not false.

Princess Xu also spoke decently, in the end, everyone was from a beautiful background. She didn't compare other children with her, but Zhu Gaoxu imagined that other brothers and sisters could not have such treatment.

King Yan said again, "Sheng Yong left Jinan City and came to capture Dezhou again!" The official army captured many places in the recovered prefectures and counties, and advanced northward step by step. ”

"Lord Wang, are you going to go on an expedition again?" Princess Xu asked immediately.

King Yan nodded and said, "The princess doesn't have to worry, this time is different from before." Before Li Jinglong, there were hundreds of thousands of troops, many of whom were elite cavalry; What does Sheng Yong have in his hands now? ”

King Yan paused and sneered: "Sheng Yong doesn't even have a decent cavalry in his hand, I'll see how he fights." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, nor could he predict it...... On the one hand, he agreed with what King Yan said, cavalry in this era is a big killer! The cavalry is not necessarily invincible, but when it comes to dealing with the cavalry, it cannot be defeated; I can't beat it if I can run it. The horse's maneuver and combat power were not bad, and there were no obvious weaknesses.

If the infantry is really not at a disadvantage against the cavalry, then what are they doing with building so many heavy towns and thick walls in the north?

But on the other hand, when he was doing Geng Bingwen under Zhending City, Zhu Gaoxu was almost besieged to death, and Sheng Yong left a deep impression on him with the level of infantry! If Sheng Yong has elite infantry, it will still be difficult.

Zhu Gaoxu did not comment on the battle, turned his head to look at Princess Xu, and said in a very relaxed tone, "I heard that the little aunt is alchemizing, did those pill materials be bought by the people in the palace?" ”

Princess Xu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, the meaning in her eyes was unclear, probably because she thought that Zhu Gaoxu was very concerned about her little aunt...... But Zhu Gaoxu couldn't care so much.

Princess Xu said: "Most people in the palace believe in Buddhism, how can they understand Taoist elixir?" There is a Chiyue Temple in Xicheng, which is a rebuilt mansion of Jingqing in Beiping, and there are twenty or thirty female Taoist priests in it, and they will prepare things. By the way, outside the West City, there is the Baiyun Temple of the Quanzhen School, which is a great avenue view, and the things are very complete. ”

"Understood." Zhu Gaoxu said with a strong smile.

In Princess Xu's words, there were several names that he was familiar with. In their previous lives, many people had read martial arts books, and those who hadn't read had watched TV series...... It's just that the content of the Quanzhen School here is very different from the martial arts book, Qiu Chuji is not a folk hero, but actually very much reused by the Yuan Dynasty court, this kind of sectarian people only want to become immortals, and the political tendency is a waste of time for them to cultivate immortals; Yin Zhiping is not so colorful, but he is a very powerful disciple of the Quanzhen School, his pot is a little wronged, if he knows the reputation of later generations, he may be able to jump out of the grave.

When the dishes came up, Zhu Gaoxu no longer mentioned the little aunt.

After dinner, he saw that it was not early, so he hurriedly said goodbye. When I walked out of Yanwang's Mansion, I couldn't see the road clearly. In autumn in Beiping, you can feel that the days are getting shorter and shorter.

At the dinner table just now, King Yan mentioned the war. Zhu Gaoxu estimated that he would not stay in Beiping for long, and every time King Yan went on an expedition, almost always in person, and Zhu Gaoxu, as a fierce general under him, was mostly to accompany him.

Zhu Gaoxu saw Wang Gui and the others holding the lantern, and suddenly felt that Wang Gui was still doing things safely.

Back at the mansion, Wang Gui followed up and said, "Do you still remember the 'Bin' wine shop in Poor Han City?" The house of the shop is pawned, and the lease is approaching, did the slave go to the owner of the wine shop to renew the lease? ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered, Zhang Xin knew that place, and now Zhang Xin was looking forward to King Yan...... The secrecy of the liquor store is no longer there.

He said, "No." You go and deal with it. ”

"Yes." Wang Gui said, "The slave and maid will find someone to take over first, and if they can't find it, they will sell the contents inside." ”

Zhu Gaoxu stood still and said, "No one wants to take that shop." You find a few people in the house to sell things, and you can get a few dollars. You don't have to go, I have other things for you to do. ”

Wang Gui hurriedly said: "Please ask the palace to command." ”

"Go to the study inside." Zhu Gaoxu said quietly.

The two of them went back and forth into the study and closed the door. Zhu Gaoxu walked inside around the bookshelf and sat down at the desk. Wang Gui stood beside him, bowing down and waiting for orders, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted Wang Gui to stare at Chi Yueguan, but he felt that it was inappropriate...... What if Xu Miaojin didn't go to Chiyue Temple, but went to Baiyun Temple?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want others to know about this, after all, everything has yet to be verified; He didn't want Xu Miaojin to be suddenly suspected and fall into the hands of Yao Guangxiao's gang.

Wang Gui's godson Cao Fu seems to be able to be trusted. But just two people are still not enough.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his forehead for a while, and finally spoke: "Wang Gui, you go to the north gate of Yanwangfu to keep an eye on." When I saw my little aunt Xu Miaojin leaving the palace, I followed her to see what she did. She was a female Taoist priest, and she must have worn a hat when she went out. However, there are no other Taoist priests in Yanwangfu, you are optimistic...... This matter must be kept secret! ”

He also described Xu Miaojin's height and shortness.

Wang Gui said: "The slave and maid obey the order. ”

It's just a matter of luck...... There are four gatehouses in and out of Yanwang's mansion, thinking that Xu Miaojin lives in the inner hall of the palace, it is possible to go out from the north gate. There are not enough people, there is no way. Like only one person in the afterlife, it is not something that two or three small works can do well.

Not to mention the manpower of the County King's Mansion, there are more people in the Yan Wang's Mansion, but how many secret things can really make the Yan King trust?
