Chapter 182: A Blank Check

This fortune teller is usually here, just now Zhu Gaoxu had already given him ten times before looking for Huang Ying, let him finish telling his fortune, hurry up, otherwise if he sees it again in the future, he will smash his stall.

On the same day, Zhu Gaoxu took Huang Ying to play in the Cave Shrine, and went around the street, struggling all the way, whether to buckle Huang Ying up, wait until he saw Li Jinglong before releasing it, or release it directly.

The consequence of detaining Huang Ying is that Huang Zicheng will definitely find out that his daughter is not going home, once he reports to the official, he will send people to search everywhere, this is trouble.

But if Huang Ying is not deducted, if she goes back to tell Huang Zicheng, it will also be even worse.

However, after accompanying Huang Ying for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu finally decided to take a gamble.

Because he still believes in his sister's ability.

Before noon, Zhu Gaoxu took Huang Ying to the vicinity of Ying Tianfu and prepared to part with her.

Huang Ying also obviously guessed what he was afraid of, and after thinking about it, he said categorically: "King Gaoyang, don't worry, Chunxiao and I will definitely not report to the official." ”

"I'm not worried about that." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "I am also the county king of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's brother, even if I am arrested by the government, it is a big deal to surrender and admit defeat, and the emperor will not kill me." ”

Huang Ying was noncommittal, listening silently.

"Actually, when I entered Beijing this time, I was also preparing to negotiate peace with the emperor, if the two sides can strike and sue for peace, then the world will be peaceful."

"When the time comes, I will definitely propose to your father and marry you."

Huang Ying's body trembled slightly, her little face was red again, and her expression was unusually excited.

"But this matter is very secret, and no one can know about it, especiallyβ€”" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Huang Ying sighed: "King Gaoyang, don't worry, I won't tell anyone that I have seen you, not even my father. ”

"My father was also dismissed recently, and I heard that the emperor is also talking about peace." Huang Ying still believed it a little.

Because after all, on the surface now, Emperor Jianwen and King Yan are talking about peace, and both sides are in a hurry to get time.

"If this matter is negotiated, it will be good for the people of the world and both sides, as for my father, I will explain it to my father, and I will definitely not pursue him." Zhu Gaoxu tried his best to stabilize Huang Ying.

"Thank you, King Gaoyang." Huang Ying sighed, and faintly hoped that Zhu Gaoxu could really talk about peace and success.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Zhu Gaoxu finally asked suddenly.

Huang Ying was stunned for a moment, her heart beat again, and then nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that after meeting Li Jinglong before noon tomorrow, he would at least stabilize Huang Ying before noon.

"Tomorrow, we will meet outside the Cave God Palace?"

"En," Huang Ying whispered softly.

Before six or seven o'clock in the evening, Zhu Gaoxu was a little nervous, for fear that Huang Ying would suddenly report to the official.

In the afternoon, he asked Mao Xin and Zhou Hu to guard the north and south of Chaotiangong East Street respectively, so that as long as there were official and military actions, they could immediately find out that Song Changlin stayed near Sanshanmen and he himself was near Jubaomen.

Fortunately, the whole afternoon was uneventful, and after dark, Mao Xin and Zhou Hu came back one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu was sure that Huang Ying did not report to the official.

Otherwise, the officers and soldiers would have acted a long time ago.

Early the next morning, several people split up according to yesterday's arrangement.

Zhu Gaoxu came to the Cave God Palace first, there was a teahouse more than 20 steps east of the gate of the Cave God Palace, and it was overcrowded in the morning.

Zhu Gaoxu had planned two boxes here yesterday, and he was sitting in one of the street boxes at this time, hiding in the window, quietly looking outside.

At about four o'clock (around eight o'clock), a figure hurriedly appeared on the street, looking up while walking this way, observing Zhu Gaoxu's position from time to time.

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu looked at him, and Zhou Hu nodded to him.

Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed.

knew that it was Li Jinglong who came, and there were no officers and soldiers.

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to be careless, continued to observe the outside, could see places with his own eyesight, and looked at the people walking downstairs from time to time.

If there are officers and soldiers like Jinyiwei below, with Zhu Gaoxu's vision and experience, he can definitely see it.

The reason why he chose the vicinity of this cave shrine was because there were more women, children and old people here, and most of the believers were women and old people, and there were very few young and strong people.

This gave him a good chance to recognize, the street downstairs is full of groups of young women, women and old people, if there is a large number of young people, it must be wrong.

After a while, Zhou Hu went upstairs.

"Li Jinglong is here, and I haven't seen the officers and soldiers for the time being." Zhou Hu reported to him: "It's about a mile away from here. ”

"But he came in a carriage with a sedan chair."

Zhu Gaoxu hesitated, a sedan chair and a carriage need at least seven or eight followers? This means eight strong, if all eight are soldiers in disguise?

If it is really eight soldiers, Zhu Gaoxu is not afraid, there are four of them, and it is no problem to have more than a dozen.

But Li Jinglong knew that he was brave, and it was impossible to bring only such a few people, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Prepare your horses and be ready to go." Zhu Gaoxu said.

"No."

Zhou Hu quickly went downstairs again.

As long as you bring your horse and run up, you will soon be able to get out of the city, and this side is very close to the Tongji Gate and Jubao Gate in the south.

Zhou Hu walked for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu saw Mao Xin walking downstairs with a horse.

Mao Xin didn't go upstairs, glanced at Zhu Gaoxu from below, nodded to Zhu Gaoxu, and left quickly.

Zhu Gaoxu was also a little nervous at this time, after all, this kind of work was the first time he had done it, and it was like going underground in secret.

I don't know how long it has been, but Zhu Gaoxu feels that the time is extremely long.

Finally, on the road north of the street, Song Changlin's figure appeared.

Song Changlin led the horse and walked in front alone.

Not far behind him, a sedan chair slowly followed, and behind the sedan chair, there was a carriage.

Li Jinglong finally came.

Zhu Gaoxu hid his body back slightly, and looked at the carriage and the sedan chair with his peripheral vision.

There are also at most one or two people in the sedan chair, but in the carriage, there may be several.

But there were no rubber tires, and I couldn't tell how many people were in the carriage, but it didn't look unusual.

He couldn't help but secretly think, why did Li Jinglong make such a big fuss about such an important matter when the two sides met, and came out to bring so many people?

Li Jinglong is really as stupid as his father said?

Li Jinglong and Song Changlin did not stop under the teahouse, but turned east in the middle of the street, and soon came to the gate of the Cave God Palace, and then a man came out of the carriage, the man's face was like jade, but he was relatively young, and he looked a little like Li Jinglong.

He jumped out of the carriage and came to the palanquin, from which he quickly helped an old lady out.

One old and one young, supported to go to the Cave Shrine.

Zhu Gaoxu's window position, if he sat on the opposite side, he could see the entrance of the Cave God Palace, he looked at it with wide eyes, and was stunned that he didn't see Li Jinglong.

Grip the handcuff? Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about whether it was not good.

Knock knock, someone outside is already knocking on the door.

"Who?" Zhu Gaoxu put the short knife under the table in one hand and asked in a low voice.

"Is the shopkeeper there?" Outside the road.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this voice, he couldn't help but smile a little, he had seen Li Jinglong when he was in Beijing before.

He went over and opened the door, only to see Li Jinglong wearing an ordinary person's coarse cloth clothes, wearing a hat with gauze on it, covering his face like a woman, standing outside the door.

"Shopkeeper Cao, please." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said, let people in first, and then looked at it, Mao Xin's figure flashed outside, and nodded to him.

Bang, Zhu Gaoxu closed the door,

The moment he turned around, Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, who said that Li Jinglong was stupid?

The god appeared unconsciously, and deliberately made the family members as a cover.

"King Gaoyang is really bold, he dares to come to Beijing at this juncture." Li Jinglong was also very shocked when he saw Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu, as the first fierce general of the Yan Army, didn't know how many people wanted to kill him on the battlefield, but he didn't expect to come to Beijing in person.

Before the two sides met, Li Jinglong only knew that Zhu Di had sent his son, and he thought it must be the third son, Zhu Gaosui.

It is impossible for Zhu Di's son to move, the goal is more obvious, Zhu Gaochu is also big, and he is a fierce general, so he never expected that it was not Zhu Gaosui who came, it would be Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, first stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, asked him to sit down and said, and then went straight to the topic: "My father is very sincere, and originally wanted to come in person, but was dissuaded by the ministers of civil and military affairs. ”

Li Jinglong's eyelids twitched slightly, and he thought, if it is really Zhu Di who comes over, hehe, if it is not good, he may really be backwater, such a big credit, why not.

"I see King Yan's sincerity, but just like that, it's not enough." Li Jinglong was also direct, and he didn't drag the mud and water.

If he is willing to come out to see Zhu Gaoxu, it means that he is willing to help oppose Emperor Wen of Shui, but now it is a negotiation, not to mention sincerity and sincerity, it is better to come out with something substantial.

Zhu Gaoxu admired him very much, doing such a shameless thing, Li Jinglong also had a high-sounding expression, and he looked quite upright.

He turned around and took a package from the other side, and then took out a pen, ink and silk towel from it, as well as a letter written by King Yan.

"Cao Guogong wants anything, you can fill it in, this is the big seal of my father, my father said, the conditions are open to Cao Guo, and it will be used as a certificate in the future, once it is done, Cao Guogong will be the first merit, and the two sides will never forget each other, and enjoy wealth and prosperity together."

Zhu Gaoxu used the methods of later generations to write a blank check, which used the Great Seal of King Yan and the characters of King Yan.

Then leave a gap and let Li Jinglong fill it by himself, what you want, fill it yourself.

Li Jinglong's face was slightly red, and he quietly took the letter in his hand and looked at it, convinced of King Yan's handwriting and big seal.

Of course, he has a lot of requests, but this will suddenly make him write, and he doesn't know what to write.

Li Jinglong hesitated: "I'll keep this letter for the time being, and I'll fill it in when I think of something in the future?" ”

"When it is." Zhu Gaoxu knew that he would definitely not think of what to write in his eagerness.

But I shouldn't write it in person today, and I'll write it later, hehe, it's hard to say whether Zhu Di will admit it.

The two were spying inside, and Song Changlin and Zhou Hu had already come together outside, standing under a big tree, staring at the door of the teahouse here.

"Where did Li Jinglong come from?" Song Changlin said strangely: "I didn't even see it." ”
