The imperial court suddenly sent an official document down, saying that Zhu Bai was coming to Xi'an to inspect the operation of the Guanya Bureau and Guanyinzhuang, and asked Zhu Fan to receive him well.

Counting the days, Zhu Bai should go to Xi'an the day after tomorrow.

Zhu Fan sat alone all night with the official document in his hand: the opportunity to save Zhiqiu has come.

But Zhu Bai is his own brother......

Although Wang Xiaoyue can't be exchanged for Deng Zhiqiu, Zhu Bai can be exchanged.

Then he put the blame on the people who protected Zhu Bai.

The next morning, Zhu Fan freshened himself, took care of it cleanly, and came out of the room.

The people in the palace were shocked: he made himself a ghost and a ghost for Deng Zhiqiu, and he would do whatever it took to get Deng Zhiqiu back.

Why did you leave Deng Zhiqiu's affairs behind this night?

Zhu Fan acted as if nothing had happened, and only ordered his subordinates to clean up and buy and prepare to welcome Zhu Bai.

Then he turned to see Hongyuan.

Hongyuan was imprisoned by Zhu Fan for several months, his hair was long, his clothes were ragged, and he was dirty.

Hearing the knock on the door, he and his apprentice immediately ran to the corner of the wall and shrank back, obviously in a somewhat abnormal mental state.

Zhu Fan asked someone to help Hongyuan out, shave his head, change his clothes, and take a bath.

Hongyuan was at the mercy of others, his expression was dull, and he didn't say a word.

Zhu Bai came, and according to the rules, he couldn't see his relatives.

Therefore, the matter of Deng Zhiqiu and Wang Xiaoyue will not be revealed.

But Hongyuan is a friend of Zongxi.

Zong Xi will definitely let Zhu Bai visit on his behalf.

If Hongyuan says something, he will be in trouble.

Zhu Fan said: "Don't be afraid, master. This king has come today because he has important matters to discuss with the master. ”

Hongyuan only folded his hands and bowed his head to recite the scriptures, but did not answer.

Zhu Fan said again: "In a few days, the king of Xiang will come to Xi'an." The master just doesn't talk nonsense. This king promises you. After the king of Xiang is gone, this king will let you respond to the sky. ”

Hongyuan finally glanced at Zhu Fan and asked, "Really?!" ”

Zhu Fan smiled: "Seriously." ”

Hongyuan said: "The poor monk wants to take the apprentices away. ”

Zhu Fan nodded: "That's natural, when the time comes, the king will personally send you away." ”

Hongyuan: "What does Your Highness want the poor monk to say?" ”

"First, it is forbidden to mention the king's abandonment of government affairs. Second, it is not allowed to mention the king's imprisonment of Wang Xiaoyue. Third, don't mention that the king broke your bare-knuckle legs. In a word, you can only praise the king, but you can't say that the king is not. You just have to endure one meal. If Zhu Bai asks to meet with you alone, you have to refuse. If not......" Zhu Fan's voice suddenly became cold, "This king will throw your apprentices outside the city wall and feed the wolves!" ”

Hongyuan shivered: a monk, not afraid of death. He was ready to desperately expose Zhu Bai's brutal face to Zhu Bai.

But his apprentice was innocent, and he was only sixteen years old. Now that he has suffered so much, he must not let his disciples lose their lives here.

He stared at Zhu Fan for a long time, and finally lowered his eyes and folded his hands: "Got it." Amitabha. ”

Originally, the monk was compassionate, but at this moment he cursed Zhu Fan to die in his heart, and after his death, he fell into the hell of Ah Bi, and he could not be reborn forever.

After Zhu Fan finished talking to Hongyuan, he returned to the bedroom and asked someone to bring the concubine.

The concubine came in trembling, but she didn't dare to lean over.

In the past, when Deng Zhiqiu was there, Zhu Fan almost ignored them.

They scolded Deng Zhiqiu to death one by one, saying that she had exclusive grace.

Now Zhu Fan began to ask them to sleep, but every time no matter who came, they would go back injured and stay in bed for many days.

Zhu Fan beckoned to her.

The concubine trembled over and whispered for mercy: "Your Highness, please spare the concubine." ”

Zhu Fan waved her hand and slapped her, knocking her down on the bed.

The concubine covered her face and didn't dare to cry.

"Slut, don't let me see your face." Zhu Fan turned her over, pressed her head into the quilt with his hand, and said while violently: "Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu." I'm here to save you. ”

The concubine fainted and was carried out.

Wang Xiaoyue couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she heard this.

The concubine was covered with scars, bruises on her neck, and her lower body was bleeding.

Wang Xiaoyue hurriedly called someone to invite the doctor.

The doctor prescribed a few patches to the concubine to stop bleeding and detoxify, apply external medicine and take it internally, then shook his head and sighed and left.

The concubine woke up, looked at Wang Xiaoyue and cried: "The princess save us." We just can't take it anymore. ”

Wang Xiaoyue hugged her and cried: "I will find a way, I will suffer you." ”

-----

Out of Longzhou, it is a horse Pingchuan.

Zhu Bai, who has been struggling to advance in the desert and mountains for more than a month, feels like he has returned to the world when he sees the green wheat seedlings in the Guanzhong Plain.

In fact, after a month of wandering around Xi'an, he has become more and more firm in his previous opinion.

No matter how brilliant Chang'an was before, Xi'an is no longer suitable for the capital, at least it is not worth moving the capital here to the Ming Dynasty.

But he still has to go to Xi'an City to take a look at the most important official tooth bureau and second brother in the northwest, as well as Master Hongyuan.

Zhu Fan led the soldiers to the city gate to greet him.

Shaanxi was accompanied by Pu Ying, Zhou Bin, the left and right political envoys, and Fu Yin. The head of the official tooth bureau also followed behind them.

The moment Zhu Fan saw Zhu Bai, he was still very intimate.

After all, he hasn't seen his relatives for several years, and Zhu Bai has been very helpful to him.

Before departure, their brotherhood was also much deeper than before.

Zhu Fan patted Zhu Bai's shoulder, choked up several times, and turned a thousand words into one sentence: "Old Twelve, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown a lot taller." ”

Zhu Bai also felt like a lump of cotton in his throat, and his eyes were red and he said, "The second brother is becoming more and more robust and majestic." ”

Zhu Fan turned back to Zhou Bin and said, "Everyone, go and get busy." It is enough to have this king accompany the twelve. ”

Zhu Bai nodded to several adults: "Thank you for welcoming you, you can go and get busy, you don't have to accompany this king." ”

Several adults were eager to leave, and hurriedly bowed and left.

Zhu Fan patted Zhu Bai on the shoulder: "Let's go, the second brother will take you to see Chang'an of 'Jincheng Qianli'." ”

Zhu Bai jumped on the horse: "Okay, I have long wanted to come to see Chang'an." Today, we will 'spring breeze proudly horseshoe disease, one day to see all the Chang'an flowers. ’”

Zhu Fan said: "My father told me that I would accompany you to inspect whether Xi'an City is suitable for the capital. ”

Zhu Bai smiled: "Isn't it?" But my father thinks a little too highly of me. I'm a kid who looks at that. I'm just helping my eldest brother explore the way, and when he comes in the future, it's easy to arrange. ”

Zhu Fan smiled: If you want to say that, I don't need to persuade you that Xi'an is not suitable. Originally, I had a lot of reasons to think about.

Zhu Bai winked at Zhu Zhang: "So the second brother took me to eat, drink and play around, and I went to see the fourth brother after I handed over the errand." ”

Zhu Fan nodded: "Okay, since my father said this, let's watch while playing." ”

Zhu Bai touched the city wall and was surprised: "The Xi'an city wall is also built with rammed earth. ”
