Zhu Gaoxuan coughed.

"Third brother, this is too nervous. We're about to arrive in Ming City now, so naturally we can't go out of retreat, those assassins...... There's no chance to attack us. ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded.

"You have a point......

But he didn't want Zhu Gaoxuan to be there, and suddenly spoke again.

"But then again, I'm a little worried, worried that my father's side is not worried about the war here, and if he sends someone over, he may become a target for those assassins."

It's like a reminder of the dreamer.

Zhu Gaosui's face immediately changed.

"Yes, it's very likely that my father will send someone over. But it doesn't matter, I'll have some people stationed around here and keep an eye out for the Assassins. ”

After such a toss, it is not too early.

The team resumed.

This time, the road was unimpeded and arrived directly in Mingcheng.

It was already good that Ye Wuwu, who they could come over today, prepared a table of sumptuous meals for them, and took away the local specialty of their daughter Hong.

Everyone sat together and pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so unhappy.

It's just that I don't know why, Lord Ye's face is not very good today.

"Originally, I was going to send someone to attack the border city tonight. However, on the way back yesterday, he encountered an assassin and was slightly injured. So be prepared to take action again tomorrow night. ”

Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but be stunned.

"You've encountered assassins too? But this king remembers that you only had three or five people with you at that time. How did you get rid of those assassins? ”

No matter how strong this Lord Ye is, there are only three or five people around him, and he is old, his physical strength is naturally not comparable to that of young people, and it is really too difficult to deal with those dozens of assassins.

Ye Wuwu shook the wine glass carelessly in his hand.

Thinking back to last night's events, he still has lingering palpitations.

"None of the people around me were spared, all of them were killed. Originally, I thought I was going to die. Fortunately, at the last moment, a man wearing a silver mask suddenly appeared, and he directly knocked those people away. He also gave me a sweaty BMW, so that I could get lucky enough to pick up a life and come back. ”

The man in the silver mask again.

Zhu Gaosui sighed, so he told the manager on his road again.

Ye Wuwu looked surprised.

"If this is the case, this man in a human mask can be seen to be our nobleman. With his covert help, we will definitely be able to calm down Gao Yuan this time. ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded.

"I think so too. This person must be a noble person of our Ming Dynasty. ”

The people ate and drank until late and then dispersed.

Zhu Gaoxuan drank a lot of wine today, and after returning to his residence, he fell asleep directly.

When I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly felt a strange aroma wafting between my noses.

He was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes suddenly.

In front of him was a young and beautiful woman, smiling sweetly, helping him take off his boots.

When he woke up, he immediately spoke.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, I am the maid in the house, and the housekeeper arranged for me to come over to serve. The housekeeper also arranged for someone to serve Miss Yang, as well as Miss Xing'er and others......"

This Ye Wuwu's housekeeper is really reliable.

It's just that it's not appropriate to let such a little girl of unknown origin serve herself.

Zhu Gaoxuan frowned slightly.

"I don't need you to serve here, so let's let Miss Yinchai come over......"

The little girl's face was a little ugly.

But the butler said that the silver hairpin girl was a guest. It's not good to make her work too hard. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Is the word of this king not as good as the word of your steward? From this day forward, you are not allowed to step into the king's bedroom at will, and you will not go out quickly? ”

The little girl didn't dare to say anything, turned around and retreated.

And Zhu Gaoxuan didn't feel sleepy at this time.

That little girl, it seems a little strange......

Isn't it safe in Lord Ye's mansion?

……

On the road leading from Kyoto to the border city, a group of people and horses are taking advantage of the night.

The official road is usually full of people coming and going, and it is always very noisy.

Even at night, people often pass by.

However, recently, because of the military situation at the border pass, and there are rumors that the rogues near Chishuiling have begun to make trouble again, so the merchants who pass by have become cautious.

Most of them are afraid to travel at night.

It seems that this official road is deserted.

A horse-drawn carriage that did not look luxurious, but was very atmospheric, was slowly moving forward.

There were horsemen riding horses in front of and behind the carriage, walking all the way, looking east and west.

On the right side of the carriage, a burly man frowned slightly.

"Master, shall we find a place to rest?"

A man's voice rang out from inside the carriage.

"Why do you suddenly need to rest? I can't wait to rush to Mingcheng right away. ”

The man looked ahead, and under the bleak night, there seemed to be a cluster of black shadows, flickering.

"I don't know why, but I always have a bad premonition. Someone seems to be lurking around here. ”

The people in the carriage were a little surprised.

"No one will ever know we're coming here. So ambush over here, right? ”

This is a question that men are not easy to answer.

"It's better to stop the convoy for a while. Then the subordinates went down and took a look at the front. ”

The occupants of the car were silent for a moment before speaking.

"It's fine."

So, someone cleared the wasteland by the roadside, and then everyone stopped and sat down around the carriage to rest.

The man who had just spoken also jumped off his horse at this time, called another man, and went along the forest to check ahead.

The curtain of the carriage opened, and Zhu Di in the carriage, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, could not hide his domineering.

He leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes and looking ahead.

Beside him, sitting was Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures.

Zheng He looked tired.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be someone in front of you. But there are not many of them. It wasn't for us. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhu Di was slightly relieved.

"Some time ago, I heard that there were rogues on the other side of Chishuiling, and the second child was ambushed when they passed here. Could it be that Liukou escaped here? ”

Who else would sleep in such a place but the Rogue?

Zheng He spoke.

"It's more likely to be a rogue. It's also possible that someone from Gao Yuan's side received news from the secret guard before. It is said that after Gao Yuan attacked the border city, he once sent many people to our territory. ”

The moonlight was reflected on Zhu Di's face, and his face was slightly gloomy.

Gao Yuan seemed to be prepared this time.

Zheng He continued.

"Gao Yuan has been planning for a long time. But there's nothing to be afraid of. We also have a lot of inside lines on their side. Before, they were drugged by us during the march, and they had a collective stomach upset, so they were delayed at a speed. ”
