Everyone was puzzled, even if Zhao Gou explained the reason in detail, they still felt a little incredible. Even so, everyone still followed Zhao Gou's orders. No matter what their identity is, as long as Zhao Gou is the backbone, they will not worry about being useless.

Gao Zhong is also an auxiliary general, although he is a false name and has no real power, but he can't leave the capital at will, and he can't disappear for no reason. Therefore, Zhao Gou decided to let Gao Gou live directly in Gao Gou's mansion, and the old lady was with Zhao Gou.

Even though Gao Pet was a little reluctant, he could only agree. In addition, Zhao Gou also told Gao Pet not to disclose anything about this place, and the violators will be dealt with by military law. Gao Zhong was not a person who liked to talk a lot, so he nodded and agreed.

Zhao Gou didn't write a letter to Zhao Yougong, nor did he tell Gao Chong how to do it, just let him go. As for how to persuade Zhao Yougong, it is up to him, otherwise he will find another place to live, or live in Liu Guangshi's mansion.

Where Gao Pet lives, Zhao Gou is not worried, and there is no problem where he wants to live with his ability. Even though Zhao Yougong hadn't come for a long time, Zhao Gou believed that Zhao Yougong would not watch Gao Zhong live on the streets, so he was relieved to boldly arrange other things.

Steward Wang obeyed Zhao Gou's instructions and looked around for a suitable mansion, he couldn't go to find out the news in a bright way, but dressed up in disguise. After three days of exploration, Steward Wang found a more suitable mansion and bought it directly for one thousand taels. If you don't see that the decoration in the mansion is quite passable, I'm afraid you can buy it for a few hundred taels.

"Young master, I have found the mansion, when will I move there?"

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Tonight, let's move over!" ”

Steward Wang nodded, he turned to go out, and then instructed the others to start packing up the soft and other things. In addition, Steward Wang also prepared four carriages, one for Wang Shishi and the old lady to ride, and the other three for quilts and other items.

Since Zhao Gou rarely returned home, there were fewer objects, and there were more soft and so on. The rest of Zhao Gou didn't bring it, and there was an extra carriage empty, and finally Zhao thought that it was better for him not to come forward, so he sat in the carriage.

When everything was packed, everyone immediately set off out of the city gate, and Zhao Gou also asked Gao Zhong to go to the Chu Palace. Moreover, Zhao Gou told Gao Pet to go after an hour. Because he knew Zhao Yougong too well, if he knew that they left overnight, he would definitely come to chase him.

Bianjing City is divided into the Imperial Palace, the Inner City, and the Outer City, and the Imperial Palace's Mansion is located in the Inner City. Now their new residence is in the outer city, and they must go through the Suzaku Gate to get out. Normally, there is a lockdown at night, and no entry or exit is allowed.

However, Zhao Gou was not worried about this, just because Steward Wang and the others had the right to enter and exit the city gate at any time, so they blatantly went out from the city gate. Even if the general guarding the city saw it, he was helpless, just because each of them had a gold medal given by the emperor, which was the right given to them by Song Huizong.

"Release!"

Steward Wang and the others all left, and as for where they went, the general who guarded the city didn't ask much. Because this is not his jurisdiction, he has no right to intervene.

After Zhao Gou and the others went out of the Suzaku Gate, they crossed the Sili Bridge again, and did not go out of the Dailou Gate, but walked directly south for three miles at the Sili Bridge, and came to a place that was rarely populated. When Zhao Gou and the others entered the new mansion, the whole person was stunned.

"Big brother, how did you find this place?" Gong Cang stared at the darkness around him, and heard the sound of the wind and the sound of running water, it must be a sparsely populated place.

Li Shien also nodded, and said in surprise: "Big brother, can you really live here?" How does it look like a place to retire! ”

Steward Wang smiled triumphantly: "This is originally a place for the elderly!" ”

Zhao Gou was puzzled: "What does this mean?" ”

Steward Wang replied: "Young master, this place is sparsely populated, surrounded by mountains, and surrounded by green mountains and green waters, it is a rare treasure. Originally, the owner of this mansion was an official in the court, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, and it was bought by the merchant with money. ”

"However, it was really inconvenient here, and they were suppressed by other forces soon after. After all, he was a businessman, and the government did not give face, so he gradually left the capital. It happened that the young master wanted to find a quiet place, so I happened to think of it, so I came to take a look, and sure enough, I found that it was still there, so I bought it, and even got the house deed and land deed. ”

"A few of you set off immediately, go to Dailoumen, and then go out of the city!"

As for who lived, Zhao Gou didn't want to ask more, he asked Steward Wang and the others to set off from Dailoumen immediately, so that everyone thought that he had left. Even if they were to track down, they were indeed out of the city. And all the wagons went out of the city together.

This is the illusion given to the people, that it is enough to enter the city tomorrow with the people, and return with the horses. Zhao Gou, Wang Shishi, and the old lady began to clean the place again, covering some quilts and bed sheets.

After all, it was already this hour, and everyone was tired, so Zhao Gou asked them all to go down and rest.

The words were divided into two ends, and Gao Zhong swaggered to the Chu Palace, an hour after Zhao Gou left. When he knocked on the door, the housekeeper of the Chu Wangfu came out to open the door, and saw that he was wearing a silver-white armor, so he knew that he was a soldier, but he was alone, and he didn't bring anyone, so he couldn't help but be a little strange.

Since Gao Gou followed Zhao Gou a few days ago, Zhao Gou had also visited the Chu Palace, and the housekeeper recognized it at a glance.

"General Gao, what's the point of coming here late at night?"

"Housekeeper, I'm looking for your lord, I wonder if he is in the house?"

"General, wait a moment, I'll go and call the prince to come out!"

Gao Pet sat on the chair bored, quietly waiting for Zhao Yougong to come. A moment later, Zhao Yougong appeared in front of Gao Zhong and saw him wearing armor, which made him very strange. Moreover, there was a burden next to Gao Pet, and he said in surprise: "Brother Gao came to the house late at night, not to catch up with me!" ”

Gao Zhong smiled: "I'm here to defect to the prince, and I must be bothering in the house from now on!" ”

Zhao Yougong was stunned for a moment, looked up to the sky and laughed: "What are you kidding, besides, aren't you from the ninth brother's side?" Why did you come to my house for no reason, and said that you wanted to live here, isn't it that the ninth brother has treated you badly, or what's wrong? By the way, why don't you see Lingtang? ”

Gao Zhong smiled bitterly: "I don't know where they went, if it weren't for the desperation, I wouldn't want to disturb the peace of the prince!" ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Yougong was taken aback and said, "What went and where?" ”

Gao Zhong replied: "Now the young master, mother and others are no longer in the county king's mansion, and I don't know where they went. If it weren't for the fact that they were all gone, I wouldn't have been able to live alone in the county king's mansion! If that doesn't make sense! ”

Zhao Yougong was shocked: "Ninth brother, he ...... He's gone? ”

"Back to the prince, that's exactly the case!" Gao Zhong sighed and said dejectedly: "The young master left the capital overnight with my mother and others, and I don't know where they went. If it weren't for my identity as a general of the auxiliary country and a person in the court, the young master said that it was inconvenient to take me, so let me come to the prince. ”

"The young master said that with the friendship between the prince and him, it is impossible to ignore it. If the prince refuses, or feels that he is bothered, then he will find another place to go, and he can't live on the streets! Alas! …… If it weren't for that, I would have left with me! ”

Zhao Yougong didn't want to entangle with Gao Chong more, so he sat up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "When will the ninth brother leave?" ”

"It's been an hour!" Gao Pet hurriedly replied.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhao Yougong was a little annoyed and said angrily.

"Isn't it the same earlier?" Gao Chong was surprised, "Don't you still want to chase after you?" ”

"What do you say?" Zhao Yougong was annoyed and ashamed, and he didn't bother to take care of him, so he turned around and went out of the house directly.

"The young master really knows the King of Chu too well!" Gao Zhong secretly thought, he saw Zhao Yougong rushing out of the door, and rode directly away, as Zhao Go's subordinate, it was impossible for him to sit idly by, so he could only follow Zhao Yougong to go together, otherwise it would not make sense.

Zhao Yougong rode the horse and patted the horse's back non-stop, and chased it until the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the guard was taken aback when he saw that it was the King of Chu coming, and hurriedly went down to the city gate to greet him: "The lower official has seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”

"Let me ask you, have you ever seen a group of people go out of here before?" Zhao Yougong asked straight to the point.

The man hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince, there was indeed a group of people who went out of the city before, and they all held the tokens for leaving the city, which were still given by the emperor, and the lower officials could not stop them." ”

"The king knows these things, and I just want to know where they are going?" Zhao Yougong looked at the man with some impatience, he really didn't want to listen to the nonsense anymore, and directly asked about the direction in which Zhao Gou and the others left.

Seeing Zhao Yougong's angry face, the man hurriedly told him the direction.

Zhao Yougong directly ordered him to open the city gate, and then went directly out of the Suzaku Gate to continue the pursuit, until he arrived at the Dailou Gate, and heard the same answer again, this time Zhao Yougong did not continue to chase. It's not that he doesn't want to chase it, it's that he doesn't know where he went at all.

As long as you go out of Bianjing City, then the world is big, how to find it. Moreover, they don't know Zhao Gou's skills, and with the help of Steward Wang and others, it is not difficult to eliminate the traces of travel. In that case, it would be a needle in a haystack, Zhao Yougong believed that even if the emperor list was posted, he would not find Zhao Gou, as long as he really wanted to hide, I was afraid that no one would be able to find Zhao Gou.

Zhao Yougong was annoyed, he was really in the atmosphere, and finally sighed helplessly, and then returned to the city with Gao Chong. As for the convenience of Zhao Gou and the others going out of the city, it is not the responsibility of these guards, they are also acting on orders, if it weren't for the royal steward and others showing the arrows of the imperial order, they would not have risked their lives to let people leave.

In the end, Zhao Yougong agreed to let Gao Zhong live in his house.

At this moment, Zhao Yougong did not return to the house immediately, he entered the palace with Gao Pet. Because Zhao Gou left quietly, this matter is extraordinary, and it is even more impossible to find Zhao Gou, only to let the emperor know.

"Your Majesty, the ninth brother is gone!" Zhao Yougong and Gao Zhong bowed and shouted, and then Zhao Yougong was depressed, as long as he remembered that Zhao Gou was no longer in the capital, his heart trembled suddenly, and he regretted it, if he hadn't gone for a long time, such a thing would not have happened.

Song Huizong was in a very happy mood, and after hearing the news of Zhao Yougong's report, his smile stiffened, and the problem in his hand also fell out, and he said tremblingly: "What did you just say?" ”

"The ninth brother is gone!"

Zhao Yougong said it again, his tone became even heavier, he hated himself even more in his heart, and he also blamed the emperor and his father, if it weren't for them, how could Zhao Gou leave the capital and disappear directly. Now that it's happened, even blaming doesn't help.

"How could he not see? A good big living person, you can't see it, how is this possible? Song Huizong's stiff smile looked very reluctant, he really didn't expect such a result, it was really unexpected, which made his heart tremble violently.

"I've already gone to see it, and the ninth brother has already left!" Zhao Yougong chased after Zhao Gou and his party, and went to the former county king's mansion to see, where the building was empty and lost its former style, which made him really believe that Zhao Gou had left.

Song Huizong's face turned blue, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't I ask you to pass on the decree?" Have you not preached my will? ”

Gao Zhong hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has conveyed the will of the saint, but the young master's mind has been decided, and I have also persuaded it, but it has no effect." In addition, the young master also said that if he wants to let go, he must be released thoroughly, he is already a common man, so he should not live there, he should find another place. ”

"Has he forgotten that he is still my son? What a bastard thing! Song Huizong scolded angrily, he was also startled when he heard that Zhao Gou was gone, and he was even more furious when he saw Gao Gou say this.

"You know he's leaving?"

"Wechen knows!"

"If you know why don't you stop him? Even if you can't stop it, can't you report it? Even if you can't see me, you can report this news to the King of Chu, how can you let him leave! Song Huizong looked at Gao Zhong questioningly, and his anger could erupt at any time.

Gao Zhong smiled bitterly: "Back to the emperor, the young master's ability, King Chu knows best, Weichen is not an opponent, even if he knows, he is helpless!" ”

Song Huizong was stunned, and most of his anger disappeared. What Gao Pet said is not unreasonable, Zhao Gou really wants to leave, and it is impossible not to leave behind. Besides, Gao Chong is not Zhao Gou's opponent, or his subordinate, how can he really resist to the end, but Zhao Gou left, and the news was really like a thunderbolt from the sky, which caught him off guard.

Although Song Huizong thought about several results, he never expected that it would be this result, and it was also the most difficult result for him to accept. Song Huizong recalled Zhao Gou's many things, he was worried that Zhao Gou was really gone, and secretly blamed himself: "Am I wrong?" ”

If Zhao Gou really goes away and doesn't go back and leaves it alone, then Song Huizong will be a sinner through the ages. No matter in history, or now is a mediocre and incompetent monarch, the most important thing is to force out meritorious ministers, such an infamy is difficult for even Song Huizong to bear, that person is still his own son, as a father, as an emperor, how does he explain to the people of the world.
