When Zhu Di returned to the palace, he secretly ordered Shen Ruoliao to find a way to avoid the eyes and ears of the guards, go to the Jinghua Inn, and make an appointment with Jin Zhong to leave for Beiping on the third day. He was guarding the room, and he could also have a way to deal with the group of guards and the attendants who were always at the door, and even the visiting officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Shen Ruoliao took advantage of the guards' personal soldiers not paying attention, climbed out of the window, jumped on the roof, quietly left the palace, sneaked over a street, and then went down to the ground, crossed the Qinhuai River, and found Gulou Street.

He found the Jinghua Inn, and didn't dare to say Jin Zhong's name, so he asked the shopkeeper if there was an old man living here, dressed very shabby, but very generous. The guy immediately said that it was in the middle of the south side of the second floor.

As soon as he turned around, a white figure passed by him and said simply:

"Good afternoon, Shen Shaoxia."

Shen Ruoyu was taken aback, and when he turned around, the man had already gone out, and then disappeared into the bustling crowd outside.

He was not surprised, and went upstairs to the room in the middle of the south side, still wondering who the man was, and how he could recognize him. He is in this capital, obviously unaccompanied.

What's more, that person clearly called him Shen Shaoxia, not Yi Binlang.

The person who called him like this should not be a person from the imperial court.

It's hard to say, though.

He knocked on the door. Jin Zhong invited him in, closed the door, and asked:

"How do you know I'm here? The name I left at the store was fake. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Even if it's true, I don't dare to say it." I guess you're still disguised as the old man who eats duck soup noodles, so I'll describe it to them. ”

Jin Zhong said: "The prince plans to return to Beiping the day after tomorrow?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Mr. is really unpredictable prophet." The prince just asked me to tell my husband that we will meet in the suburbs the morning after tomorrow and go back to Beiping together. ”

Jin Zhong said: "You tell the prince that if you really plan to go home, you will leave tomorrow morning, and it is best to leave tonight, without delaying for a moment." ”

Shen Ruoyu was taken aback: "What's the matter, sir?" What did you count? ”

Jin Zhong said: "I didn't tell the hexagram. However, in the dangerous place of Jingshi, the prince has stayed for so long, and it will change over time. The news that the prince is going back to Beiping is now known to everyone in the imperial court, and within two days, countless people will go to the Son of Heaven to lobby and obstruct the prince from returning home. I'm afraid that if there are two of them, the Son of Heaven will change his mind and detain the prince. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "But the prince has already told the Son of Heaven that he will leave the day after tomorrow, if he leaves early, then he will be suspected of escaping, doesn't it mean that he has given the court more evidence that King Yan is guilty?" ”

Jin Zhong paused and said, "The prince is too careless. What is the best of now? ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "It's not that serious, sir?" The prince is a measured person, and he must have measured it in advance before he said it. Maybe not. ”

Jin Zhong said: "The prince came to Yingtian to go deep into the tiger's den, do you still expect the tiger to talk about benevolence and righteousness?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "The tiger can not talk about it, but we can't talk about him." If the prince does not keep his promises, it will only be harmful to the prince himself, and the court is eager to find an excuse now. ”

Jin Zhong thought for a while and said, "That's it; Please tell the prince that before the last moment of departure, don't tell the Son of Heaven, and you must not participate in that canton. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "I understand." I'll tell the prince, but I can't guarantee whether the prince will listen or not. ”

Jin Zhong said: "I understand. After you decide, you don't have to inform me again, it's too dangerous. I won't be living here for a while, I'll be living outside of the city for the next two days. After crossing the river, there is a Tianmen Inn on the way back to Beiping, and I will wait there, and we will see you there. ”

After Shen Ruoyu agreed, he left Jin Zhong's room and refused to let Jin Zhong go out.

When he went downstairs, he saw a scholar in white walking slowly up the stairs, and when he saw someone coming down, he raised his head and glanced at him, and without saying anything, he turned sideways, passed him, and continued upstairs.

However, this short glance made Shen Ruoyu's heart move. He grabbed the man and asked in a low voice:

"Who are you? How do you recognize me? ”

That person was about twenty years old, as if he was the same age as his second brother Liang Tiehan, and he looked dignified and gentle, and when he saw Shen Ruoyu grabbing him, he stopped and asked strangely:

"Huh? Who are you? How would I recognize you? ”

Shen Ruoyu was slightly stunned, and said coldly: "Don't pretend, tell me who you are quickly." ”

The man asked, "Huh?" Don't you know me? Since you don't know me, how can I know you? ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Didn't you greet me just now?" You still know what my last name is. That's why I'm interested in knowing who you are and how you came to know me. ”

The man smiled secretly, and said softly:

"'Kindness is like water, and the sword is in the autumn wind' - Ling Zun's sword, isn't it in your hand? If it weren't for this sword, you would have told me your surname Shen in person, and I wouldn't believe it. ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at him in surprise: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?" ”

The man's face suddenly changed color, and he said coldly with disdain: "Strange; You don't know me, how can I know you? ”

With that, he jerked out his arm, brushed his sleeves away, and soon disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Shen Ruoyu was dumbfounded. He looked at his arm incredulously. That person's internal strength is so strong that he can actually throw himself off. But it seems that he is just a scholar like this.

His heart sank suddenly. He knew who this man was, he had seen him, he did.

Three months ago, when he came to Yingtian for the first time, he was called to the elegant room of Kaiyuan Restaurant by Zhu Gaoxu. It was on the street that a white figure slapped him, and at the same moment slipped the note into his collar, and he couldn't see it clearly.

It must be him.

Shen Ruoyu walked to the counter of the inn and asked the shopkeeper, "The guest in white who went upstairs just now is your guest here, right?" Looks like a pretty rich showman, right? ”

The little second was busy settling accounts, and said without raising his head: "That's Master Jing, the permanent owner of our inn." ”

"Master Jing?" Shen Ruoyu thought for a while, "I see that he is familiar, like a person I know." Are you sure his surname is Jing? How do I think he should be surnamed Li? ”

"If you're talking about the guy who just went upstairs dressed in white, you can't be wrong. His surname was Jing, his name was Jing Yuluo, and he lived in the west room on the north side. If you don't believe me, knock on the door now. ”

"Well, it looks like I was mistaken. Thank you. Shen Ruoyu thanked the little two and walked out of the Jinghua Inn.

Jing Yuluo, Jing Yuluo? How he had never heard of it.

And it's true that I've never seen a straight face. The so-called familiarity, surname Li and the like, are all nonsense for a while, he is afraid of what kind of character this person is, if he asks unnaturally, the little two will be suspicious.

This capital is in dire straits, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake.

He returned to the palace and told King Yan what Jin Zhong had said.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "He is careful." Lone has already thought about it, since I have the courage to come, of course, I also have the courage to go back in a dignified manner, why bother sneaking around, so that the court thinks that I am a thief. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Lord Wang, it's better to be careful." Or just do what he said, don't let the Son of Heaven make that kind of food, let's leave a note for him and go directly. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Are you afraid? ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "I think it's really hanging." The emperor is a person who has no opinions, and his ears are soft, especially the words of the two adults Qi and Huang and Mr. Fang, what he listens to. ”

Zhu Di said: "Then let them say." Jianwen didn't want to move me, but other than that, he had no reason to stop me from returning to Beiping. I want to see which one can dismantle the lonely platform. ”

It turns out that neither of them is capable of this. The civil and military officials said a thousand words in front of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor must not let the tiger return to the mountain, and finally said that Zhu Yunwen was moved, and he planned to explain to the fourth emperor uncle when he met King Yan the next day that he could not let him go now. However, as soon as Zhu Di spoke, he overwhelmed the Son of Heaven in terms of momentum and reasonableness. Zhu Yunwen was helpless, and held a banquet for King Yan and Cheng'an Yibin that night, and made one last effort, which was naturally declared a failure.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Di and Shen Ruoliao came to the palace, bid farewell to Zhu Yunwen, the hundred officials of the imperial court and his three sons, and left Yingtianjing Division.

The two of them galloped all the way, and soon crossed the river and found the Tianmen Inn. Jin Zhong was already ready to go, and he was in a hurry, and when he saw the two, he breathed a sigh of relief and got on the horse to join them.

Zhu Di said: "We have to go quickly." Once you get out of the capital, you don't need to talk about face, you have to be as fast as possible. Jianwen may regret it at any time, in case my dead-eyed uncle leads the troops to catch up, we will be too late to cry. ”

On the evening of the third day, when they arrived in Jinan, Zhu Di did not enter the city, but settled in a small inn in the suburbs. Shen Ruoyu was a little strange, but he didn't speak. Zhu Di quickly saw his strangeness, and guessed the reason, and after closing the door, he said to Shen Ruoyu:

"We can't stay for a day. If you delay for even an hour on the road, you may never be able to return home. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Lord Wang, since the imperial court has let us leave the capital, what reason can we send troops to catch up?" ”

"That's not necessarily," Zhu Di said, "The reason is nothing more than an excuse, as long as you use your brain, you can always make it up." It's not the same now as it was when I was in the capital; Once out of their noses, time is entirely in our own hands, and everything else is secondary. ”

"But, you have to go to Tie Xuan's house, right? When I came, I lived in someone's house, and when I went back, I had to say hello. Otherwise, wouldn't it make him even more suspicious? ”

Zhu Di said: "He doesn't know that we have arrived in Jinan now. By the time he knew, we were home. At that time, as long as he is suspicious or not, we are not in danger. But if you go to his house now, the rest of the matter may not be the same. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "We have already crossed the river, we have also crossed the Yellow River, and now we have all arrived in Jinan, even if the imperial court sends chasing soldiers, it should not be able to catch up, right?" ”

Jin Zhong said: "It's better to be cautious." His Royal Highness King Yan is thoughtful, and at this time, it is better not to do anything risky. ”

After eating, Zhu Di ordered to go to bed and get up early tomorrow morning to continue his journey. Shen Ruoxiao lay motionless on the bed for an hour, and when he heard that both of them were asleep, he got up and got out of bed quietly, got dressed, opened the window, and jumped out.

He carefully untied the second-rate son, left the inn, and after walking quietly for a short distance, he turned on his horse and rode to the city gate.
