The banner of "Fengtian Jingjing" fluttered in the wind, and the cavalry on the road was huge, slowly passing through the boundary of Linyi County and marching towards Jinan Mansion.

At this moment, several men shouted on the side of the road: "King Yan is wise and martial, and the grass people are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses!" ”

King Yan, who was riding on a horse, glanced sideways slightly, and saw four strong men in cloth kneeling on the side of the road and kowtowing. At this moment, a man suddenly got up and ran towards the road, and the cavalry of the relatives immediately blocked him.

"Lord, lord......" the man shouted excitedly.

King Yan waved his horsewhip, and when the soldiers got out of the way slightly, he saw the man running over, grabbed the belt on the horse's chest, and said: "The villain Ji Gang, who was originally a member of Linyi, is familiar with bows and horses, and begs the prince to take him in!" ”

There are even people who have passed the examination and have taken the initiative to take refuge? King Yan was suddenly a little moved, after all, everywhere Master Yan went, he was regarded as a rebel by the scholars. King Yan said to the soldiers around him: "Take them with you, and see this king after camping." ”

"Order!"

The army continued to march south, crossed Linyi County, and reached the north bank of the Daji River on the same day. The battalions built barracks one after another and set up men.

…… In the evening of the same day, Zhu Gaoxu took a team of pro-soldiers and tied Qu Neng's father and son to the Yanwang camp. Qu Nengguan to the governor, Zhu Gaoxu neither dared to conceal it, nor did he dare to directly enter the account, only King Yan had the right to dispose of it.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the big tent first, hugged his fists and said: "Erchen meets his father!" ”

"Gao Xu is here." King Yan smiled, obviously very satisfied with Zhu Gaoxu's performance in Baigou River.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around again and said, "Bring Qu Neng and the others in." ”

After a while, Qu Neng's father and son were tied up and sent into the big tent, and the generals looked sideways. The upper Yan King was still smiling just now, and he immediately stopped it, and his face was already murderous!

Zhu Gaoxu stubbornly said: "On that day, by the Baigou River, Erchen led his troops to besiege Qu Nengbu, and he wanted to behead him, but he saw his son Qu Liangcai on the side...... Erchen remembered that he ran back to Beiping from Beijing last year, and was intercepted by Qu Liangcai in Zhuozhou, and had to get away with it. So the sons didn't kill them, they were caught back first, and handed over to their father to dispose of, which can be regarded as a return of love. ”

When King Yan heard this, he really calmed down, and turned his head to look at Qu Neng and the others. The two stood there silently, and were kicked in the leg twice by the soldiers behind them, and they were forced to fall down on one knee.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said: "The power of the father, who in the world is not convinced? Qu Neng's family members are all in Beijing, so they don't dare to surrender easily. ”

"What do you want to do with the people Gao Xu captured?" King Yan asked.

Zhu Gaoxu's face showed hesitation, and his right hand turned into a palm, but he didn't raise it for a long time.

At this moment, Zheng He, the eunuch next to him, said softly: "Lord Wang, kill them for fear that other officers and military generals will die and the fox will die......

King Yan took a deep breath quietly, as if he was pressing something into his stomach, and said, "Zheng He, you find someone to escort them back to Beiping, and we'll talk about it later!" ”

Zheng He bowed and said: "The slave obeys." ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened to it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, let's save their lives first, after all, no matter how powerful the dead are, they are useless.

At this time, the soldiers of King Yan's big tent took Qu Neng and the others down.

King Yan quickly said: "Li Jinglong fled to Jinan City. Early tomorrow morning, we will pack up our soldiers and horses to cross the river, take advantage of the victory to conquer Jinan first, and then take the whole of Shandong! ”

The generals said: "The prince is wise! ”

After the deployment of the order of the various departments crossing the river and the orientation of the formation, everyone dispersed one after another, and each returned to recuperate.

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the big tent and met the eunuch Zheng He at this time. He looked at Zheng He, but saw that this eunuch was still wearing mountain armor and holding an iron helmet in his hand.

"General Zheng, haha!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Zheng He waved his hand and laughed, "King Gaoyang walks slowly." ”

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't mean to leave immediately, and said in a casual tone: "Just like I said before today, I'm a person who just remembers eating or fighting, haha!" If someone is kind to me, I can't forget it. ”

Zheng He smiled: "Is King Gaoyang boasting? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "I just want to be down-to-earth and open-minded, and now the love has been returned, there will be nothing to do with me in the future, thank you Gonggong Zheng for fulfilling ......"

He sighed again, "Love is this thing, pay back one, and owe another." ”

"Where, where is it, King Gaoyang must not say that, but it is a matter of effort." Zheng He gradually suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Besides, the slave maid serves King Yan, and he naturally thinks about the prince in his heart, and the slave and maid have a lot of words, and they are also worthy of it." It would have been wise not to kill Qu Neng first, otherwise what would the generals of the official army think? Surrender anyway, we will be killed, and it will be more difficult for us to fight. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded yes.

At this moment, Zheng He said quietly: "Last time, Wang Gui asked the slave maid Zhang Yan about ......"

"Yan Wang's Mansion Book?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zheng He nodded and said, "Exactly." Later, the slave heard about something, that Zhang Yan was originally a traitor, and he was inserted in Hongwushi, so he was never suspected. ”

"It's so hidden!" Zhu Gaoxu sighed.

"Isn't it?" Zheng He said, "If it weren't for that Zhang Yan who was sent to death by himself, it would be really difficult to be discovered." ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously, "How did he send him to death?" ”

Zheng He thought for a while and said, "Master Daoyan and others tracked down the traitorous spies and got some clues from the traitor Ge Cheng's mouth, so they arrested the monk of Huiju Temple. Yuan Changshi (Yuan Hui) sent someone to check his nationality and found that the monk had married a wife and had children before he left home!

Yuan Changshi sent someone to quietly bring his wife and child to Beiping...... Later, I was trying to use my wife and child to force him to comply, so that he could confess whether he was a spy or not, and he knew something.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the book Zhang Yan did something bad! ”

Zheng He paused and continued, "That Zhang Yan found a Lang Zhong, pretended to enter the cell to show the injury to the monk Xukong, and took the opportunity to hide the dagger in his arms. After Zhang Yan entered, he locked the cell first, and then stabbed the monk more than a dozen times! Kill on the spot! Zhang Yan drank poisonous wine again in the cell, and died with a whimper. ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened and nodded constantly: "I see." ”

Zheng He said again: "The one who asked someone to show the injury to the monk Xukong is Master Daoyan again." This is really unguardable, no one expected Zhang Yan to be a spy! This time it's even more troublesome, and that Langzhong has also been arrested......"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "Kill people and kill people? The traitor Zhang Yan is not for self-preservation, otherwise his best way is to escape by himself, not to kill people. ”

Zheng He gave a thumbs up and said: "King Gaoyang is an understanding person, and he thinks about things so quickly!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly smiled: "I'll just talk about it, these things shouldn't be my business." Hey, it's getting late! Farewell, Zheng Gonggong stayed. ”

Zheng He hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to King Gaoyang." ”
