Chen Shu was very helpless: "Who said that you should marry him, I am an old friend of his father, and he also saved my life, I look at him differently, but I didn't say that you should marry him, besides, you crazy girl, have you heard my words?" ”

Chen Yueru turned her anger into joy: "This is about the same, I don't want you to care about my life's major events." ”

Chen Shu was helpless, and pulled Chen Yueru up: "Go, lead me to meet the princess." ”

"What for?" Chen Yueru shook off her father vigorously.

Chen Shu pulled Chen Yueru's arm again: "Your father and I are a clean official, these things are too precious to want." ”

Princess Yan was in the backyard, heard the housekeeper say that Chen Shu came to visit, so he ordered someone to meet in the main hall of the backyard, Chen Shu followed the housekeeper into the main hall, and saw a woman sitting in the middle of the right position, and there were more than a dozen maids and women waiting on both sides, so she knew that this person must be Princess Yan Xu, and leaned down without waiting for the housekeeper to introduce: "Chen Beiping sent Chen Shu to visit the princess." ”

Princess Xu smiled implicitly and helped her with her hand: "My lord, please get up and sit down." ”

Chen Shu stood up, sat down on the edge of the chair stiffly, and then pointed to Chen Yueru and said: "The lower officials are here, firstly, to thank the princess for the reward, and secondly, to ask the princess to take back the reward, this is too valuable, and the little girl can't afford it." ”

Xu smiled: "Presumably Lord Chen is afraid that I have a plan to admire Miss Yueru, don't worry, I sent Miss Yueru these things, not to make friends with your father." My prince is a straight temper, who you make friends with must go to make friends in person, and you won't make such a big detour, so you don't have to worry, Miss Yueru accepted this little thing, not counting you as the king of the traffic domain, besides, if my prince wants to collect the heart of your envoy and only take this little thing, it will inevitably seem that our prince is too stingy. ”

Chen Shu thought to himself, this princess is worthy of being the eldest daughter of General Xu Da, and she is educated by a minister, and her speech and bearing are really extraordinary.

I only heard the princess continue: "To put it more bluntly, the matter of Miss Yueru and Yao Guangqi, my prince has already said it, that Yao Guangqi is the prince's best friend, he is young and high-minded, and poor, and he refuses to ask for the prince's reward, I give Miss Yueru these things, but I am also afraid that they will live too hard in the future, if you refuse, it will be equivalent to shirking for Yao Guangqi." ”

Xu's words were reasonable, making people listen to them like a spring breeze, Chen Shu was both admired and moved after hearing it, and hurriedly bowed down again: "The prince is very grateful to his subordinates, the princess's generous gifts, and the lower officials are very grateful, but these rewards are too valuable, and the lower officials really dare not let the little girl receive them, and although the little girl and Yao Guangqi have a good impression of each other, they are far from reaching the point of talking about marriage, and it is too early to talk about the qualifications of marriage, so Shu does not dare to receive this gift." ”

Chen Shu said this, Princess Yan didn't want to say anything more, but although Xu secretly scolded Chen Shu in his heart for being a tough seed, he admired his stubbornness and refusal, so he had to smile and resolve his embarrassment: "In this case, these ornaments will be placed here for the time being, and the good things of the two of them will be close in the future, and the palace should be rewarded more." ”

Chen Shu hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you for the reward, thank you for your kindness." ”

At this moment, in another hut in the palace, there were only two people, Zhu Di and Li Yu, and the two of them were sitting silently. It's not the first time Zhu Di has dealt with Li Yu, when he went to defend the city in winter, the two had a lot of contacts, at that time Zhu Di felt that Li Yu was in good order, and he admired this talent very much, if he didn't want to be too ostentatious and didn't want to expose his ambitions, Zhu Di wanted to have more dealings with Li Yu, and even took this person under his command.

Li Yu actually has a good impression of Zhu Di, and also admires Zhu Di's calm dispatch in times of danger and his demeanor as a general. But the two people who admired each other had their own thoughts at this time, so they didn't speak first.

In the end, it was Li Yu who took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "The original reason of the matter is already known to the prince, the shortage of food is indeed moving hands and feet, which is nothing to hide, put into the prince's door, although the lower official is forced, but it is out of sincerity, if the prince can ensure that the lower official can pass this pass safely, after the official saddles the horse and serves the prince." ”

Zhu Di stood up and said with a smile: "Refreshing, you are refreshing, this king also said bluntly, there is a faceless Jianghu force behind you, you should also make this clear first, otherwise this Jianghu force will come to find trouble in the future, and this king will not know how to deal with it." ”

Li Yu smiled bitterly: "Yao Guangqi is really powerful in this later life, even this can be found out, talent is rare." Well, I say. That organization is called Lei Xianzong, it is a secret and huge organization, I have not met their sect master, but the food I secretly swallowed is directly transported through Lei Xianzong, I don't ask how to sell the stolen goods, in short, after they resell, we will divide fifty-fifty. ”

Zhu Di interjected: "In that case, this Lei Xianzong has also taken away a lot over the years. ”

Li Yu explained: "The reason why they took away fifty percent is that it was originally agreed, whether it is in the DPRK or in the rivers and lakes, any troubles and risks on my side are borne by Lei Xianzong, I just need to wait for the money." ”

Zhu Di frowned: "In this way, this gang not only has dealings with local officials like you, but may also collude with senior officials in the DPRK and China. ”

Li Yu nodded: "That's why I have to take refuge in you, otherwise in the future, they will use the power of the court to deal with me, and I won't be able to deal with it." ”

Zhu Di nodded: "You also admit it when you speak, do you think they killed those salt merchants and framed you?" Do you think they're doing this against you? ”

Li Yu nodded: "Although I have no evidence that they did it, but this matter is the most likely thing they did, first, such a big case, there is almost no trace at the scene of killing such a person, and the murderer cannot be caught if there are no clues afterwards, and Chen Shu was assassinated twice according to the investigation of the case, and Lei Xianzong has this ability." Second, I think they want to kill me, and then withdraw from Beiping. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said, "You are in such a big trouble, what good is it for me to take you in?" ”

Li Yu smiled mysteriously: "Of course the lower officials will not let the prince take him in plainly, in addition to the routine official duties of the imperial court, our political envoy also has a secret mission, do you know?" ”

Zhu Di was stunned: "Secret mission? ”

Li Yu nodded: "Yes, the secret mission cannot be sued to heaven and earth, and not to be sued by wife and children, only I and those who listen to my report know." Speaking of this, Li Yu deliberately paused, and then said in an accentuated tone: "Monitor the vassal king." ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Yu in disbelief, but then realized that he was out of shape, and quickly lowered his head and coughed, and then said: "You have put a lot of thought into it, but this lie is a bit too much." ”

Li Yu smiled and took out a letter from his arms, and presented it to Zhu Di respectfully with both hands: "Lord Wang, please take a look, this is a letter from Jiang Huan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to the lower officials." ”

Zhu Di couldn't wait to grab the letter, opened it, and couldn't wait to read it, he read it very carefully. Li Yu noticed that Zhu Di's expression was very complicated, the green tendons on his forehead were tight, his eyes were squinting, his cheeks twitched slightly, and Li Yu could even hear Zhu Di gritting his teeth.
