Bright Spring

Huang Zicheng continued: "At this moment, Yan Ni led the iron cavalry to circle around to the back of the army and attack our division from the back; Yan Ni and the Yan army in front formed a two-phase attack! So Yan Ni came out from the formation, As a result, the officers and soldiers lost several fierce generals. However, under the governor of Sheng Yong, even though they were pierced through the formation, the entire army remained motionless! Sheng Yong immediately dispatched the brave infantry to run into the formation, and immediately withstood the impact of Yan Ni. "

"Then how did Sheng Yong lose?" Zhu Yunqi asked.

Huang Zicheng said: "At that time, the two armies were tied, and because Yan Niqin charged in the formation with arrows and firearms, our division still had a chance of winning... But suddenly a strong wind blew up, and flying sand and rocks were facing our division. If you can't open your eyes, you will be defeated!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yunqi sighed and said: "Why is it so close? Master Wang fought hard in Hebei many times, but he was always unable to break through! He was defeated by strong winds again? It's just a coincidence."

"I heard..." Zhu Yunwen pondered, "Tie Xuan has a very close relationship with you, and Sheng Yong made a blood alliance with Tie Xuan last year. Is it because of this?"

Huang Zicheng immediately "thumped" and knelt down on the ground, "How dare the minister deceive the emperor? There is absolutely no selfishness in this matter, and the minister's words are all reported according to the facts!"

"That's all!" Zhu Yunwen said, "I also think that what you said is true. Then I will ask Fang Xiaoru to draw up an order, ordering He Fu to gather soldiers and horses from all over the place, and after collecting food and grass, go north to reinforce Sheng Yong and other generals."

Huang Zicheng exhaled quietly, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly bent over and walked in. Seeing Zhu Yunxuan nodding, he walked to the side of the superior, bowed his head and said something in a low voice.

"Oh?" Zhu Yunqi made a surprised voice, "Tell him to come here and talk about it."

The eunuch said: "The maidservant obeys the order."

Huang Zicheng said cautiously: "Then the minister..."

Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand and pressed down lightly, "Wait a minute, Huang Siqing will listen too."

Huang Zicheng immediately showed a look of relief, and said: "I accept the decree!"

After waiting for a long time in Dongnuan Pavilion, a man in a green robe and a big hat bowed in. He knelt down outside the partition and said long live.Zhu Yunwen immediately asked him to come in.

Zhu Yunqi didn't recognize the man's nervous appearance.After all, the person who came here was only a middle-level and low-level general of Jin Yiwei, and he usually didn't see the emperor.

"You said you met Zhu Gaoxu, king of Gaoyang County, by the Qinhuai River?" Zhu Yunqi asked directly.

The general nodded and said: "Return to the Holy Lord, I have seen you! Today, I was ordered by the commander to go to the outside of the city on a business trip. I entered the city through the Jubao Gate, and soon saw him sitting in a carriage...Two years ago, Taizu On the day of the sacrifice, the sons of King Yan and King Gaoyang arrived in Beijing and were restrained; Weichen is one of the guards in his mansion, and he has seen King Gaoyang several times before and after, so he recognizes him."

Huang Zicheng frowned and said, "The son of King Yan has come to the capital? Are you sure you're not sure about it? You can't just talk nonsense in front of the Holy One, it's a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"This..." The general suddenly had fear on his face.

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Are you sure?"

The military commander said with a mournful face: "I could have confirmed that it was him, but... at that time King Gaoyang was sitting in the carriage, wearing a big hat covering nearly half of his face. Although I still thought it was him, I didn't dare To startle the snake, he didn't follow up to take a closer look.

The official just went to Jubao Gate, showed the seal of Jinyiwei, and first asked the guards of Jubao Gate to stop the tall and strong young man, so that King Gaoyang would not sneak out of the city gate, and the official hurried back to report. "

Zhu Yunqi tapped lightly on the table with his fingers.At this moment, the eunuch Wu Zhong whispered: "This servant is talkative, but no matter what the outcome of this matter is, the emperor will check it out."

Zhu Yunxuan nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Immediately pass the decree to order the guard offices in each city, Jinyiwei, and the official offices of Yingtian Mansion to arrange manpower to check the whereabouts of King Gaoyang in the city!"

Wu Zhongdao: "The servants are going to deliver the decree for the emperor."

The general who bent over and stood in the middle said: "Eunuch Wu, that King Gaoyang is tall and burly, taller than ordinary people, as long as you catch those tall young men in the city, let people who know King Gaoyang go Identify it, it will definitely work!"

Wu Zhong turned his head to look at Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunqi nodded slightly.

At this time Huang Zicheng said again: "Ask someone to draw more portraits."

……

Zhu Gaoxu had already given up on meeting with Xu Zengshou and Chen Xuan, so he immediately gathered the staff of the three outposts.

He got the three of them into the carriage, and said: "Many people in the capital know me; but you have almost never been to the capital, and you don't know anyone, so it's not easy to reveal your identity.

This place is the closest to the Jubao Gate in the inner city and the Da'an Demen in the outer city. I will go out from the nearest Jubao Gate first.You return to Jilong Mountain, take Miss Du with you, and leave the city through Taiping Gate.After everyone left the city, we still met at the inn outside Jiangdongmen! "

The three of them responded one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu said quickly: "It's not too late, let's go separately."

At this time Zhu Gaoxu also felt that he was overly vigilant, but it is not a bad thing to be careful, the worst thing is to spend more trouble.In his previous life, he had to do some things, which was more troublesome, so he formed the habit of not being afraid of trouble.

After the arrangements were made, Zhu Gaoxu drove a carriage by himself, lowered his hat even lower, and went straight south to Jubaomen.After he decided to get out of here immediately, he relaxed a lot. After all, this is the safest way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu approached the Jubao Gate, he suddenly saw some tall men standing inside the city gate from a distance, being watched by officers and soldiers in strong coats, and some officers and soldiers were holding bows and arrows!

His mother|'s!How is this going?

Zhu Gaoxu cursed secretly in shock, and was very confused again.Even if the "big hat" I ran into before was an imperial spy, it wouldn't have blocked the city gate so quickly, right?Could it be that something went wrong with Li Jinglong or Xu Zengshou...

Without thinking too much, he immediately turned the carriage around and left Jubaomen quickly.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly crossed the Qinhuai River from the bridge. He did not dare to go to the Zhengyang Gate on the east side. It was near the imperial city and there were many yamen, so the danger was even greater.He had no choice but to drive the carriage to continue north.

King Yan also has a mansion in the capital, but that place is the most dangerous right now.He didn't know where to go for a while... Zhengyangmen didn't dare to go, the other two gates were water gates, it was strange for drivers to go there.While thinking hard about what went wrong, Zhu Gaoxu drove the car north along the road.

Before I knew it, I was not far from the fire gate.At this time, there seemed to be more and more officers and armored soldiers on the street. Zhu Gaoxu was almost bumped into several times. It seemed that the Taiping Gate must be on alert, and it was impossible to get out again!

He wondered, only Monk Qingyuan knew about the mansion where he was hiding in Jilong Mountain, so he might be able to hide for a while... The main reason is that it is too dangerous to be on the street right now!

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu drove the carriage towards Jilong Mountain.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of officials wearing tall hats riding towards Zhu Gaoxu on the street!Zhu Gaoxu was very nervous and hurried towards the main road to Jilong Mountain.

He was familiar with this road, and soon reached the long street selling incense candles.As long as you walk a little way inside, you can turn your head and enter the alley.

However, the situation was worse than he thought. After walking on Xiangzhu Street for a while, he saw a few more officials approaching him... These people are not stupid. It made Zhu Gaoxu's forehead soaked with sweat!

Is it going to capsize in the gutter?Rao Zhu Gaoxu is good at martial arts, but it is useless in the capital. Once he conflicts with the officials and makes noise, his whereabouts will be even smaller!The surrounding area must be blocked, and the imperial court can dig him out even if they dig three feet.

... In desperation, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that when he went out in the morning, the incense candle shop that the little nun was looking after was on this street.However, would she take the risk to help someone who only met once and met by chance?It's really not easy!

The officials at the foot of the mountain are riding horses, and if there is a delay, Zhu Gaoxu will be surrounded!There was nothing he could do, and he couldn't care less, so he followed the approximate location he passed in the morning, and hurried to drive there.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the shop next to him, and after a while, he saw that the little nun was still guarding the shop.The carriage stopped beside the shop, Xiao Ni also raised his head and saw Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu got off from the front of the carriage and walked up to the little nun.Xiao Ni frowned and looked at him who was dripping with sweat, and asked, "What's the matter with the benefactor?"

"Let me hide for a while, and there will be rewards in the future! No matter what you want, I will promise you." Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

The little nun was very happy and decisive, she immediately replied: "You come in first."

"Thank you benefactor." Zhu Gaoxu was full of gratitude and hurried in.Looking around, he found that there was only one room in this shop, with a simple bed and mosquito nets in it, and incense candles were piled up all around.

The little nun whispered: "Above."

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu look up, and there was a pair of wooden ladders in the corner, and there was indeed a wooden partition on top of his head; there was only a hole where the wooden ladders stood.

He hastily jumped to the corner of the dimly lit wall, and climbed up the ladder with both hands and feet.The pavement was a one-story tile-roofed house, Zhu Gaoxu climbed to the second floor, feeling very low, and could not even sit upright.
