Bright Spring

Chapter 227 Annoyed Forbearance

/p>In the quiet warm pavilion, there was an occasional "sand" sound of flipping paper.Yao Ji was flipping through the brochure impatiently, while Zhu Gaoxu also sat silently on the round stool.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu remembered the subtlety of a matter, which he had overlooked.

That time when Zhu Gaoxu wanted to take care of Sheng Yong's family members quietly, fortunately Yao Ji reminded him; because of this, he confirmed Yao Ji's identity as a spy!

Before Yao Ji was exposed, she asked Zhu Gaoxu to play horse riding with her...very naive, only ordinary children would play.But the young Yao Ji is not the kind of cute little girl.

Only now did Zhu Gaoxu think that Yao Ji might have thought of her father at that time.Many people have obsessions. Is Yao Ji's obsession her biological father?

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu said: "It's been too long, and Yao Fengji escaped again, so it's hard to have a clue now. But I will do my best to find him for Yao Ji."

Yao Ji raised her head and said, "Your Highness didn't lie to me?"

"When did I love to lie?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

Yao Ji glanced at the brochure in her hand, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, she lowered her head and pursed her lips, "I approached the lord with evil intentions and lied to you, why did the lord treat me like this?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered: "In the fake things, there are also real things."

He went on to say: "It is written in the file that Yao Fengji escaped with a son and a daughter, but there is obviously a deviation. You were taken away by Yao Guangxiao. There should be an older brother or younger brother who is also under Yao Guangxiao's hands?"

Yao Ji hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu asked directly: "Can you tell me, who is he? But in the Han Palace?"

Yao Ji shook her head and said, "Not in the Palace of the King of Han. Anyway, he is my only relative right now, and I don't want to betray my brother. Your lord..."

"Okay, I won't force Yao Ji." Zhu Gaoxu stood up, "You can keep this file for reading, but you can't tell it out, otherwise it will be even more difficult for me to find out about your father in the future."

Yao Ji nodded and said, "I promise my lord... I will send you off as a concubine."

……

In mid-July, Wang Gui and his group also returned to Yunnan Mansion.

What Wang Gui reported was probably similar to what Chen Dachui said.There is only one thing, Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "Ping'an found out in Beiping that Qu Neng and his son may not be dead, but were rescued. Ping'an also quietly asked the servants whether it was the prince's fault."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately showed a surprised expression.

"My lord, is there any fraud in safety?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head without hesitation and said: "Impossible. Although I don't have much contact with Ping An, I know who he is! Ping An is a cunning cunning in battle, but he will never do that kind of thing.

His father, Ping Ding, was the adopted son of the Taizu. For a person of such status, the court moved him because of distrust and the settlement of the 'Battle of Jingnan'.Even if Ping An is willing to do such nasty | messy things, he will die or die, sooner or later!Ping An is not that stupid.

If there are only two people in this world who can guess the matter of our saving lives.One is Yao Guangxiao, and the other is Ping An! "

Zhu Gaoxu thinks so, not only that Ping An is cunning and wise; but also Zhu Gaoxu said to Ping An very seriously: From now on, we will no longer be enemies, Ping An must remember this sentence!

Because of that hint, did Ping An think of it?

Wang Gui's voice said: "Then shall we go to meet Ping An?"

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, hesitating for a while... Because those things he did in the past aroused the vigilance of some people in the court; the last time he wanted to take care of Sheng Yong's family, he was almost put on the sidelines!Saving people now is much more risky than saving Qu Neng and his son!

But Ping An is indeed a good general.After Zhu Gaoxu fought against him many times, he felt that Ping'an's ability far surpassed He Fu's generation, and was no worse than anyone in Qu Neng Shengyong.Ping'an's abilities in all aspects are quite satisfactory, but his riding and fighting is hard to match in the world, and he is very cunning and alert, so he is not easy to fall for.

Zhu Gaoxu has been irritated for a while, remembering that the green hair on his head in his previous life was entirely due to his lack of strength; now he is still struggling to endure, unable to compromise, isn't it because he is not strong enough?

So he was worried on the one hand, but on the other hand he was very, very tempted...

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while, his face was ashen, but he spoke calmly: "It's not too late. If it's too late, I'm afraid that Ping An will be found guilty. He has already been sent to prison or committed suicide."

After Wang Gui heard this, he paused and said: "This servant has missed a good opportunity! If I had known that the prince would agree, I should have done this matter in the capital."

"I don't blame you, it's best to discuss such a big matter with me first." Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.

He went on to say, "Chen Dachui went back to Yunnan alone, and he took the official document sent to the Yunnan capital by the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion; if we send people to Beijing, we can neither get the official document from the Han Dynasty Mansion, nor go to the Yunnan government, so as not to leak the news. But I can find Mrs. Shen Xu, ask her to get a guide from Yunnan Mansion, and send Chen Dachui to Beijing as a businessman."

Wang Gui agreed.

Zhu Gaoxu was pondering. There are still problems with his plan... To bring Ping An to Wushan County, or to Yunnan?

In the former, only Wang Gui knew the place, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to send Wang Gui to Beijing alone, the eunuch knew too many secrets; if Wang Gui was caught in an accident, it would be over.

The latter also has a problem. Ping'an's figure and appearance are quite special... a very strong man like a square iron is really rare; if Ping'an is recognized at the pass, there will be a lot of trouble.Moreover, as merchants, the sent people cannot go to the post station to change horses, and the journey will be slower; once Ping An is recognized, they will be overtaken by the people of the court.

"We can neither let Ping An come to Yunnan, nor can we go to Wushan County." Zhu Gaoxu said, "We can only send someone to tell Ping An to escape first, and find another place to hide for the time being. Let's make a long-term plan."

Wang Gui clasped his fists and said, "My maidservant immediately go to Mr. Chen."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask him to come to the study in the front hall tomorrow."

Wang Gui said: "Your servant obeys."

Zhu Gaoxu's last sentence just now, he found the fear and hesitation in his heart.

Even if you are a gambler, you can't help but think about the consequences and whether you can afford the consequences; even if you decide to take a chance, you are still very apprehensive before making the move.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help thinking: What if things come to light?Do you want to raise troops hastily, use your son to betray your father, and start an unjust war?

He didn't feel the time was right now.What's more, most of the guards under him were selected from various guards, and many of them did not participate in the "Battle of Jingnan", and many soldiers had not fought for a long time.

And the real elite soldiers in the battle formation can only be experienced through battles. After ten people die, the remaining one is an elite soldier; that's how the remaining beasts in the jungle come from!Zhu Gaoxu ordered the guards to train harder, but it was useless, and the generals were not too serious... There is no battle, why do you train so hard?

Chapter 228 The Lost Dog

/p>In the lobby of Shen's Liyuan, there were no empty seats again.Zhu Gaoxu went upstairs and sat down, and couldn't help but praise him.The big shopkeeper Xu Cailiu said that there are not so many guests every day, but as long as it is Li Louxian's play, it is usually this scene.

After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Shen Xu finally came.She was wearing a cloth dress with a blue base and a dark red hem. The dark cotton material looked a bit old-fashioned. Fortunately, Shen Xu had snow-white skin and elegant temperament.The coat with a stand-up collar wrapped her tightly, and Zhu Gaoxu felt that she was dressed on purpose.

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Shen Xu poured tea into two small cups, and Zhu Gaoxu picked up one cup.

"My lord, wait a moment." Shen Xu said, "I drink first."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, and drank the tea in the small cup in one gulp.Seeing this, Shen Xu took a look at him and poured tea for him again.

"There was an accident last time, but I don't think Mrs. Shen will harm me." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Shen Xu seemed to be relieved, and immediately said in a joking tone: "Your high status, you are not afraid that the things outside are not clean?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly, and said casually: "Conspiracy is not terrible."

Shen Xu looked at Zhu Gaoxu with great interest, her eyes were bright and her expression was very serious, "Young Master, why did you say that?"

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "How many of the people in the world who have not died well have been poisoned or assassinated by conspiracy? Most of them were taken down blatantly, knowing that they were going to die, but there was nothing they could do about it."
