Chapter 336: Seeing the Six Paths
Concubine Zhou's younger brother was forcibly detained by King Yue, this news spread far and wide, not to mention that the people on the scene, even if they were well-intentioned people in the entire capital, their attention must be focused on how King Yue would send Zhou Lin down, waiting to see the big people who were going to see the show, and the movements of the Lu family faded out of people's sight.
Zhu Qiming returned to Lu's house and hurriedly had lunch, and ordered the guards who stayed in the front yard to call a carriage from the little-known backyard path, and Lu Xi's family hurriedly said goodbye to Zhu Qiming, and then quietly left by car, rushing to Xicheng to go around in circles, waiting for an opportunity to leave the city.
When he returned to the snow-covered dirt road, he saw Ouyang Tong and more than a dozen guards who had been released waiting there.
"See His Royal Highness King Yue."
Ouyang Tong quickly approached and said in a low voice: "Your Highness made such a big move, is it to let Zai Xia and the guards be released?" ”
"Yes and no. This time back to Beijing, there are many things that must be concluded, this king just wants to come dashing, and when he goes, he has no worries. Zhu Qiming looked at Ouyang Tong carefully, and saw that he looked good, was well-dressed, and presumably had not been wronged during the period of solitary confinement, Zhu Qiming felt relieved in his heart. Ouyang Changshi quickly returned to Yuefu, and placed two elderly grandmothers on behalf of the king, internal officials, good doctors, chamberlains, etc., who were willing to follow the king would stay, and those who did not want to leave the capital would let them do their own thing, anyway, they were all sent into Yuefu by the imperial court, and each had their own way out. Also, take the first step to lead the family members of Changshi and the guards in the house to the vicinity of Dongzhimen to standby. ”
"Are you planning to let your family travel with the guards?" Ouyang Tong was slightly apprehensive.
"No, let them be in the camp on the other side of the Longmen River." Zhu Qiming looked at the street scene in the distance and muttered for a long time, "From now on, this king will have no worries!" ”
Ouyang Tong led the released more than ten guards to leave, and Zhu Qiming ordered the plainclothes guards to change shifts and go to Lu's house for lunch, and only after everything was arranged was arranged did he glance at Zhou Lin lightly.
I don't know who found a Taishi chair, at this moment Zhou Lin sat on the chair, shaking his calves comfortably, it seemed that he had already had lunch, and he looked calm and relaxed, which made people angry when they looked at it. But fortunately, Zhou Lin was obedient and did not have the intention of escaping.
As soon as he met Zhu Qiming's gaze, Zhou Lin jumped up as if he had a spring under his buttocks, "Your Highness, people have three urgencies!" ”
"Hold on!"
Zhou Lin muttered: "You are really ruthless! Can you hold it back or are you in a hurry? ”
Zhu Qiming glanced at Zhou Lin, no matter how he looked at him, he looked like a scoundrel, and immediately approached Zhou Lin slowly, and Zhou Lin retreated again and again.
"What is Your Highness doing? If a gentleman doesn't move his mouth, can't he hold it down! ”
Zhu Qiming stopped, "Why didn't you run away?" ”
"The eldest sister has been instructed not to make a mistake in front of His Highness." Xu felt that it was very shameless to answer like this, Zhou Lin's neck twisted, "Escape?" Aren't you just looking for an opportunity to be ruthless? It's not stupid to be down, huh! ”
Did Concubine Zhou have an order? Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment when he heard this, "How many people have you injured over the years?" ”
"About three or five people, who remembers!"
"Huh?"
"Ouch, more than ten people, no, more than twenty people, definitely not more than fifty people."
"If you dare to hurt people again, this king will chop off your hands!" Zhu Qiming paused and slowed down his tone, "Depending on the injury, the compensation for each injured person ranges from five to ten taels of silver." ”
"Why!" Zhou Lin waved his hands, looking angry, touching Zhu Qiming's increasingly fierce gaze, and immediately wilted, "That's it, it's okay to accumulate virtue in the downline!" Hmph, losing so much silver is like pie in the sky! I can't wait to be beaten every day, I am beaten by hundreds of people every day, and within five years, I can become the richest man in the capital if I am beaten! ”
In addition to the Yuefu guards at the scene, the onlookers have been emptied, and even the people of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division have avoided in the distance. Suddenly, he heard the cry on the south side, raised his eyes, and saw a gorgeous carriage slowly galloping under the embrace of the Jinyi Guards, Zhu Qiming smiled knowingly, and then stared at Zhou Lin.
"Do you want to join the army?"
"I don't want to!" Zhou Lin said angrily.
"Well, a good man only learns martial arts to serve in the army and kill the enemy. I heard that you have been practicing martial arts since childhood, are you only practicing martial arts to fight? ”
Zhou Lin pursed his lips and shook his head reluctantly.
"Want to walk the rivers and lakes and make a living as an artist?"
Zhou Lin shook his head again.
"Do you want to fall into the grass and kill people and goods?"
Zhou Lin shook his head into a rattle.
"Then why do you practice martial arts?"
Zhou Lin scratched his head, "Good man, I only practice martial arts to kill the enemy in the army." ”
"Congratulations, you have finally figured it out, choose an auspicious day to join the army, it is best to go to the town to guard the border."
Zhou Lin was immediately dumbfounded, but the words had already been spoken, and it was difficult to collect the water, and when he saw Zhu Qiming turn around and walk towards Zhao Guotai, he bluffed at his back.
"Even if His Highness speaks, this matter must be approved by the eldest sister below!"
Zhu Qiming looked back and smiled, "Don't worry, your eldest sister may have this intention." ”
The carriage slowly stopped a few feet away from Zhu Qiming, and dozens of brocade guards dismounted, swarmed up, and took all the Zhou family members away from the scene. Zhu Qiming walked slowly a few steps towards that side, with a chill in his eyes, Jinyiwei saw this, left Zhou Lin, and retreated into the distance.
Zhou Lin wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw Zhu Qiming signaling him to be quiet, he froze there with a puzzled expression.
As soon as the curtain opened, Hu Hu calmly got out of the carriage. "Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, see His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
"Xiao Wang is fortunate to meet Hu Shangshu." Zhu Qiming returned the salute, but his face was light and light.
"Oh, it's been some time since I said goodbye to His Highness, and I always want to see Your Highness, but it's a pity that it's inconvenient." Hu Hu approached Zhu Qiming, stroked his beard and smiled, and looked at the Lu family's house. "Today, I am fortunate to meet Your Highness, please move Your Highness, and the old man will accompany His Highness to Lu Xi's house to sit down, I don't know what His Highness thinks?"
Zhu Qiming's gaze swept over Hu Hu's face, "Xiao Wang also has this intention." However, if Hu Shangshu's trip is only for a private meeting with Xiao Wang, others will eventually want to avoid suspicion, let's go to Mr. Lu's private meeting, wouldn't we have to take away the master and oppose the guest? As a student, I don't know how to respect the teacher, what kind of face does Xiao Wang have to settle down in this world? If Hu Shangshu came by order, then he would have to be even more solemn, and it would be disrespectful to the Son of Heaven to find a random household to experience the holy will! ”
Hu Hu was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Your Highness is reasonable. Lao Yu and Lu Xi's colleagues, today Lao Yu came from afar, Lu Xi didn't go out to say hello, he didn't even read the friendship of colleagues, alas, it's incomprehensible! ”
"Hu Shangshu is a minister, what an honor! And Mr. Lu is just a civilian, and it may be inconvenient to greet the official with the courtesy of the lower official, that's all. ”
At this time, the casual clothes guards who had lunch escorted out of Lu's house, touching their greasy mouths one by one as they walked. Seeing this, Hu Hu nodded secretly, retracted his gaze, and turned to look at Zhou Lin.
"The old carriage is very spacious, if His Highness does not dislike it, it is better to leave with the old man and find a clean place to talk. It's just that the idlers don't have to follow. ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Qiming beckoned to Zhou Lin with a smile, and Zhou Lin immediately ran over, "Xiao Wang and Zhou Lin hit it off at first sight, and it is enough for him to follow Xiao Wang alone!" ”
Zhou Lin smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close it, "I've seen Lord Shangshu below." ”
Hu Hu threw Zhou Lin a roll of the eyes, but he was afraid that he was already scolding in his heart: he didn't know how to sneak away, but he still came to the door, and his head was kicked by a donkey!
Zhu Qiming, Hu Hui, and Zhou Lin boarded the carriage one after another, and the brocade guards of the brigade came over, and dozens of school captains went to different positions and surrounded the Lu family's house.
