Chapter 183: A city-wide raid

Zhou Hu smiled: "You were in front at the time, of course you couldn't see it." ”

Zhou Hu is hiding on the side, so that he can see it.

Li Jinglong was very cunning, and when the carriage passed twenty steps past Zhu Gaoxu's teahouse, he quietly jumped down from behind.

At that time, it happened to be in the blind spot of Zhu Gaoxu's vision, and Song Changlin in front couldn't see it when he turned around, because there was a sedan chair and a carriage in the middle.

So when Li Jinglong got out of the car, only Zhou Hu saw it from the side.

"Sure enough, I was careful." Song Changlin sighed.

Zhou Hu thought to himself, he was doing this with his head up, of course he had to be careful.

Zhu Gaoxu was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so after less than a quarter of an hour, he took the lead in coming out of the teahouse, then checking out and hurriedly going out.

Zhou Hu hurriedly greeted him, and Song Changlin led two horses to follow.

"Your Highness." Zhou Hu asked.

"You go back first, go to the house we rented, I will go to see Yuan Yi, give him the letter written by Li Jinglong, and immediately join you and give me the carriage." Zhu Gaoxu immediately said.

"No." Zhou Hu answered, turned around and left without saying a word.

What they need to do today and how to go, they have already discussed it yesterday and prepared several sets of plans.

Now this is the plan for the success of the matter, and several people immediately left the city in batches.

As for seeing Huang Ying, of course it can't be.

But Zhu Gaoxu prepared a letter and asked his fourth uncle Xu Zengshou to hand it over to Huang Ying, saying that Emperor Jianwen had changed his mind temporarily and was unwilling to negotiate peace, so he ran away in advance, and I believe Huang Ying would not be blamed.

Mao Xin quickly pasted it up from the other side, handed over the horse he had brought to Zhu Gaoxu, and then left quickly.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was alone, he resisted the urge to gallop on horseback, led the horse and pressed the hat he was wearing, covered his face as much as possible, and went to the direction of the rice shop.

As long as he handed over the letter written by Li Jinglong and the plan of both sides to Yuan Yi, even if it was done, Yuan Yi would be responsible for bringing these things out of Jingshi, and it had nothing to do with him.

His task has been completed, and he originally wanted Mao Xin to do this, but because he had something to explain, he decided to come over by himself.

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu came to the rice shop, and Yuan Yi was waiting for him inside.

"It's finished?" Yuan Yi also had an expression of disbelief.

"It's finished." Zhu Gaoxu said, hurriedly handed over everything to Yuan Yi, and said a few more words.

Yuan Yi was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to really be able to convince Li Jinglong.

"This letter will be handed over to my fourth uncle for me, and let him help me pass it on to Huang Zicheng's daughter Huang Ying, who will go to the Cave God Palace at a certain time this afternoon."

After that, let Yuan Yi repeat it, and after Yuan Yi wrote it down, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange expression,

Back then, it was said that Zhu Gaoxu was deliberately entangled with Huang Ying to get out of trouble, didn't it? Co-author: Zhu Gaoxu really likes Huang Ying?

This thing is really bold, such an important matter, he dares to meet Huang Ying in Jingshi?

Before Yao Guangxiao said that Zhu Gaochu deliberately asked Huang Zicheng to let him leave Beijing, praising Zhu Gaochu for his cleverness.

Now in Yuan Yi's opinion, Zhu Gaoxu is really obsessed with lust, and he is not very smart at all.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted this effect, and after putting down his things, he immediately turned around and went out, preparing to leave Beijing.

He came out of the lower street in two directions, the upper point to the west is the Qingliang Gate, and the west is the Shicheng Gate.

The nearest is the Stone City Gate.

But when you go to the Stone City Gate, you have to pass through Chaotian Palace.

There was a dense flow of people here, and he couldn't ride a horse, so he could only lead the horse and follow the flow of people to the stone city gate, and when he walked all the way to the stone city gate, he suddenly had a lot of people walking back in front of him.

What are people talking about?

Zhu Gaoxu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly pulled a passer-by who turned around and asked, "What's wrong ahead?" ”

"The officers and soldiers blocked the door and were not allowed to enter or leave."

"What?" Zhu Gaoxu's face changed greatly, and his heart jumped wildly.

"Why are you blocking the door?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

"I know, it's supposed to be arrested."

Special mother, Zhu Gaoxu scolded in his heart, Li Jinglong or Huang Ying?

It's impossible, Li Jinglong wanted to arrest him, so he would have already told him.

So is Huang Ying.

Could it be Yuan Yi?

But he has just separated from Yuan Yi, and it is unlikely that this matter will drag Yuan Yi into it.

He walked forward quickly, and soon came to the stone city gate a hundred steps away, only to see that the gate of the city had been closed, a large number of stubborn armor soldiers blocked the door, and there were many archers on the corridors on both sides of the city gate, as if facing a great enemy.

Special mother, Zhu Gaoxu scolded again, turned around and went to the Sanshan Gate below.

As a result, the Sanshanmen is the same.

He quickly turned around and got on his horse and went to the house they rented.

There were still a lot of people on the streets, and it was obvious that he was riding a horse, but he couldn't care about it now, he had to hurry up.

Avoiding passers-by all the way, I finally came to the rented house and saw that the door was still open.

It's their code, meaning there's still someone in there.

Zhu Gaoxu led the horse into the house, only to see Mao Xin sitting in the courtyard with a bitter face, and when he saw him, he quickly got up.

"Your Highness didn't leave either?"

"What about Zhou Hu and Song Changlin?"

"The two of them went out of the city, I went late, and when I first went, the officers and soldiers were closing the door and wouldn't let them out."

Mao Xin was half a minute slower, while Song Changlin and Zhou Hu went out of the city.

"Then this is what happened just now." Zhu Gaoxu was sure that someone might have spotted them just now, but no one was following him behind him, proving that this person was alone and had no companions.

"What now?" Mao Xin asked helplessly.

Zhu Gaoxu walked a few steps on the spot, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, others don't know you, it's imperative to find a hiding place as soon as possible." ”

"If we are really discovered, the officers and soldiers will first seal the city, and then they will search on a large scale, and they must find a safe place."

Mao Xin said: "Why don't we go back to Qingliang Mountain?" ”

"Qingliang Mountain is not safe, you go out immediately, wait for Huang Ying at the door of Huang Zicheng's house."

"Ahh

"After you saw her, you said like this-" Zhu Gaoxu instructed, and Fen Xian had already prepared: "Then go to find Wang Ning, the concubine, he lives in--"

——

At the same time that Zhu Gaoxu instructed Mao Xin, Li Xuan, the governor of the Five Armies, had already gathered at Jinchuanmen with a large number of armor soldiers.

Rewind to earlier this morning.

Li Xuan came out of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and went to the military camp (the largest military camp in Nanjing City was on the side of Jinchuan Gate and Shence Gate).

The west of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is the Dongshen Palace, and the south is the Tongji Gate and the Zhengyang Gate, so the Jinchuan Gate, one in the north of Nanjing and the other in the south of Nanjing, needs to run through the entire Nanjing.

Li Xuan usually came over, but he also walked the street on the side of the Cave Shrine.

Today, he was walking alone on the street, and suddenly he saw a familiar face.

The king of Gaoyang was indeed very conspicuous in the Ming Dynasty.

Just at first glance, Li Xuan must be the king of Gaoyang County.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu was going to the teahouse alone.

Li Xuan was also very careful, and after taking a look, his head turned in other directions.

Then he quickly looked down, found himself in a military uniform, and quickly jumped off his horse, and then looked around carefully.

Because he has fought with Zhu Gaoxu, he knows that Zhu Gaochu is very cunning, and maybe there is some eyeliner arranged around.

At this time, his mind was circling rapidly, whether to follow Zhu Gaoxu closely, or to immediately turn back and report to the superiors.

But he was wearing a military uniform, and once Zhu Gaoxu turned back, he would be easily discovered.

After thinking about it, he decided to turn back immediately.

As long as he told Shangguan and blocked the city gate, it would be difficult for Zhu Gaoxu to fly.

Li Xuan looked up again from a distance, confirmed Zhu Gaoxu, and immediately turned around and went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Soon, Emperor Jianwen was reported by Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu's subordinate Li Xuan, who was a subordinate of thousands of households, determined that Zhu Gaochu had arrived in Beijing, and he asked the whole city to be under martial law and mobilize a large army to arrest Zhu Gaoxu.

Emperor Jianwen was discussing things with Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng at the time, and when he heard this report, he looked incredulous.

Huang Zicheng didn't believe it either: "Zhu Gaoxu will come to Beijing?" What is he here for? ”

Fang Xiaoru was also strange: "Li Xuan knows Zhu Gaoxu? ”

Qi Tai immediately said: "It's better to ask Wei Guogong or Li Xuanzhao." ”

Emperor Jianwen did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the two to enter the palace.

Wei Guogong Xu Huizu and Li Xuan were actually waiting outside the palace gate, and when they heard the edict to let them enter the palace, Li Xuan was overjoyed, but Xu Huizu's face changed greatly.

"What kind of decree, when we are in and out, Zhu Gaoxu has already left the city."

Li Xuan suddenly bowed his head and was silent, his expression embarrassed.

But Xu Huizu was right, Xu had no power to mobilize the army, so he could only report to the emperor, but the emperor did not give an order, and he had to recruit them into the palace.

This time I went in, at least half an hour, and the daylilies were really cold.

After the two entered the inner city, Xu Huizu asked the eunuch if he could ride a horse, and we should hurry up and face the saint.

The eunuch laughed with him, he couldn't ride a horse in the forbidden palace, and asked Wei Guogong to bear with him.

Xu Huizu had no choice but to leave the horse outside.

It didn't take long for the two to finally meet each other.

When Li Xuan saw the emperor for the first time, his expression was a little excited, and his legs were still trembling faintly.

"Li Xuan, you said that you saw Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, on the east street of the Cave God Palace?" The emperor asked impatiently.

"Back to the saint, the last general has indeed seen it." Li Xuan knelt on the ground and replied: "The general will be on duty at the end of today, and in the morning I went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to get the military talisman, and I was going to go to the Jinchuanmen military camp.

Li Xuan said very clearly, back then, the three princes of Yan Wang were confined to the Beijing Division, and the people in charge of guarding were his subordinates, he had seen Zhu Gaoxu many times, and Xu Huizu also sent him to lead troops to chase after him, but he didn't catch up, he must have known Zhu Gaoxu.

Qi Tai said at this time: "Are you really sure? It is necessary to know that this matter can be big or small, and the imperial court has to mobilize, but the cost is not calculated. ”

Li Xuan's face changed slightly, he raised his head nervously, and looked at Xu Huizu with his spare eyes, only to see Xu Huizu nodding secretly, this was telling him that no matter if he was really unsure, he would rather make a mistake than let it go.

Li Xuan finally gritted his teeth: "The last general is sure, what I see must be Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County." ”

When Li Xuan said this, several bigwigs in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Emperor Jianwen at the same time.

Zhu Yunwen no longer hesitated, and decisively ordered: "Pass the decree and immediately search for Zhu Gaoxu in the whole city." ”

Xu Huizu immediately said: "The king of Gaoyang County is tall and big, it is easy to distinguish, notify all battalions and departments, no matter who it is, as long as it is tall and strong, about twenty years old, arrest it first, turn around to confirm that it is not, and then release it." ”

Everyone nodded, this is also a way.
