Zhu Di was instructed to inspect the guards around Beiping, and the last stop of Kaipingwei was completed, and it took a full month to return to Beiping, and it was already the third day of the seventh month.

The day before returning to Beiping City, Zhu Di suddenly came to Yaxing and wanted to take a look at the long-admired Lugou Bridge, so the whole team had to change direction. Seeing that they were about to go to Beiping, the accompanying guards who were looking forward to reuniting with their wives and children had to follow the prince around Beiping City, and rushed all the way to the Lugou Bridge in the south of Beiping, and not only did the guards look at the home close at hand and couldn't go back, but the officials who were waiting at the north gate were also at a loss, and asked the herald of King Yan, but there was only one answer: "The prince just went to relax." ”

Zhu Di really just wants to distract himself, since he came to Beiping, he has been preparing for the war of grain and grass to complete the army, defeated the Mongols, and there was a suspicious case of military food shortage, although he has only been here for half a year, this matter must have nothing to do with him, but after all, it happened in Beiping, Zhu Di is very concerned, but the case is getting more and more complicated, and he simply does not pay attention to it. Although Li Wenzhong did not hold himself accountable for the unfavorable transportation of grain and grass, Li Wenzhong had deliberately instructed the armed forces not to relax before leaving, and it happened that at this time, the holy decree arrived, and Zhu Di was ordered to inspect the armaments around Beiping.

Lugou Bridge is indeed a good place, the steaming water ripples, the stone lion craftsmanship on both sides of the bridge is exquisite and lifelike, the beautiful scenery of the combination of water and the bridge is more beautiful, standing at the head of the bridge, looking at the blue waves under the bridge, Zhu Di is in a good mood, let him temporarily forget the fatigue and the world, and quietly enjoy this moment.

But the enjoyment was only for a moment, because someone interrupted Zhu Di's enjoyment very uninterestingly.

"Who, stop him, his grandfather's, he's not a little daring, arrest him", "Bastard, let's go together." Zhu Di's guards shouted and cursed.

Zhu Di turned his head to see that a monk had arrived behind him at some point, "It's you!" Surprised, surprised, happy, and all kinds of emotions came to Zhu Di's mind at the same time: "When did you come down the mountain?" ”

Yao Guangqi smiled and pointed behind him: "Lord Wang, let them retreat first!" ”

While Zhu Di waved his hand and ordered people to retreat, he turned his head to look at the scenery under the bridge: "It seems that something is in trouble!" ”

Yao Guangqi walked to the railing and looked at the scenery under the bridge: "The prince can really see people's hearts." ”

Lugou Bridge is a good place to talk, especially in this beautiful scenery, people's thoughts are more smooth. Yao Guangqi and Zhu Di talked for a long time, sometimes walking back and forth on the bridge, sometimes whispering to the sitting on the ground, hungry simply set up a fire on the bridge to barbecue, and talked all night on the fire, the two didn't know how long they talked, and when the conversation ended, it was already dawn the next day.

Then the two rushed back to Beiping together, but they entered the city separately, Yao Guangqi went straight to Chen Shu, and Zhu Di returned to the palace without mentioning it.

At the same time that Yao Guangqi and Zhu Di had a long talk under the moon, in Beiping City, there were also two people talking all night long, and the conversation was also two, one was Li Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and the other was the son of Zhou Zhengren, the commander of Kaiping Zhongwei, Zhou Gongjin.

Zhou Bojin's attitude was very disrespectful, and his tone was full of questioning: "It seems that you have made up your mind to hook up with King Yan and want to go ashore alone." ”

Li Yu was very disgusted with Zhou Gongjin's attitude, but he tried his best to restrain himself: "Things have developed to this point, we can't control it, now negotiating with Zhu Di is still beneficial to us, and he can also let him save our lives, it is the best choice for us, if it is really time to break the sky, it will be too late to say anything." ”

Zhou Gongjin snorted coldly: "It's really a good calculation, it was you who pulled people into the water back then, but now that the situation is not right, you will immediately turn the bow of the boat, and you are about to get on Zhu Di's ship. ”

Li Yu replied lukewarmly: "What am I going to do, it's not your turn to care, your father is here, and he can't talk to me like this." ”

Zhou Gongjin sneered: "My father? When my father comes, he won't tell you, and those who are soldiers under him are not easy to talk to. ”

The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't scare people with the little soldiers in your father's hand, he really dares to move troops, and he can't help me, he transfers troops privately, he is a rebellion, how many heads does he have?" Besides, your father has made a lot of money in the past few years, what's wrong with making less money now, if you have money, you have to have a life to spend, he's not afraid that anyone will really poke this thing out? Not afraid of raiding your home? ”

Zhou Gongjin sneered: "Don't scare people with these, if you want to be greedy, you are the first to bear the brunt of the big greed, the earliest and the most greedy, you want to lose your head and raid your home, and you are also the number one in line, my father was just deceived by you, and did not conspire with you to be corrupt, you transported moldy grain to the army, my father did not know at all, at most it was the crime of failure to investigate." ”

Li Yu sneered: "The crime of failure to investigate? As a commander, will your father not read the accounts of military rations and allocations? I still have this ledger, and no one can escape. ”

Zhou bowed and gritted his teeth: "Even the master said that your scheming is not under Liu Bowen, and it is really in vain that the master is optimistic about you, but don't forget, we can also contact Lei Xianzong, if we tell you all about you, guess what they will do?" ”

Li Yu trembled, "You are indeed much smarter than your father, okay, let's all pinch each other's handles, now is not the time to rebel in the nest, unanimously to the outside world, after this level, as long as it's okay this time, I will definitely give you an extra share, how about it?" ”

"Huh, just one percent?" Zhou Bojin was very disdainful: "I don't want to worry about these bad debts with you now, when the matter is over, let's break it up." ”

The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched, revealing a smug look: "Since you say so, you agree that I have contacted Zhu Di." Don't regret it when the time comes. ”

Two days later, in the evening, Yao Guangqi visited the Beiping Political Envoy again, and this time, he came alone, and this time, he was not greeted by an ambush master, nor did he have a hidden weapon.

When Yao Guangqi landed in the middle of the courtyard, he knew which room he should enter, because only one room in the courtyard was lit.

The room was very bright, and every corner of the room was very bright under the joint light of the three lights.

A gray-clothed man was sitting upright on the main seat in the middle, drinking tea leisurely, the tea was very fragrant, and he had nothing to distract from the fragrance, and he didn't notice that people had entered the room.

Yao Guangqi walked into the room slowly, watching the man in gray drinking tea with interest, but he didn't say anything, the man in gray was still concentrating on tasting tea, bowing his head, but suddenly said: "There are guests who come to tea as wine at night, I also prepared a cup of tea for you, but I don't know if you dare to drink it?" ”

Yao Guangqi silently walked to the gray-clothed man, took the cup, and drank all the tea in the cup: "Although the tea is a good tea, it is a little cold, so I'm welcome, pour yourself a cup of hot one."
