Bright Spring

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's heart felt hot, and he reached out to her beautiful and fair chin, and lifted her face up to appreciate it.Guo Wei slightly turned her head away, and said in a low voice, "This concubine is waiting for the prince to take off his clothes."

The night had already fallen quietly, a gust of cool wind blew in through the cracks of the window, red candles swayed on the bright yellow copper lamp stand, and the interior of the antique palace flickered.On the big bed, the gold-rimmed silk curtain embroidered with panchi swayed gently in the breeze.

4 Chapter Sixty

A few days later, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu arrived on the school grounds, there was a heavy rain in the sky, and there were lightning and thunder in the clouds.The heavy rain poured on the earth dam like a pour, and the splashed water was mixed with the dust that had not subsided, and the land seemed to be covered with fog.

The black gauze cap and robe on Zhu Gaoxu's body became wet in an instant.He looked at the surrounding scene, the soldiers who were practicing maintained their formation in the rain without any confusion.After all, most of the people here have experienced great wars and even worse things on the battlefield, and a shower of rain can't affect them.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Gui rode a horse and ran towards this side in the rain.

Wang Gui reined in his horse, got off his horse and ran to Zhu Gaoxu's horse, saying, "General Chen Dachui is back, just arrived for a while."

"Go home!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered immediately, he shook the reins, clamped the brown horse with his legs, and rushed out first.

Wang Gui hurriedly climbed back on the horse, and the other followers also yelled and applauded the horse and chased after him.

Zhu Gaoxu asked on the road, Chen Dachui was in the study to the east of Chengyun Hall, so he rode straight to the study.A group of people rode horses and ran for a while in the rain, and when they arrived outside the study, they were already soaked, and they looked like drowned rats.

"Woo!" Zhu Gaoxu uttered a voice outside the door, and he jumped to the ground vigorously, and waved his followers to disperse.He strode into the door, and sure enough, he saw Chen Dachui and others.The two people who just came back were very lucky, and their bodies were very dry. When they arrived at Hanwang Mansion, it must have not rained yet.

Standing beside Chen Dachui was a strange girl, which made Zhu Gaoxu feel very unfamiliar.Looking at her dusty appearance, she should not be a maid in the palace, but someone who came back with Chen Dachui.Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the young lady.

Chen Dachui had just clasped his fists in obeisance, before he had time to speak, Zhu Gaoxu asked first, "Is there any progress?"

Chen Dachui opened his mouth and changed his words temporarily: "My lord, the general brought something back."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a burst of anticipation.He glanced at the strange young lady again, feeling that she was a little in the way.

At this time, the young lady held the ceremony and said, "My concubine, Mrs. Xu, has seen His Highness the King of Han."

Among the people Zhu Gaoxu knew, there were quite a few people whose surname was Xu, but he still didn't know whose family this girl belonged to.Zhu Gaoxu looked at her, and saw that although her face was a little dirty, her facial features were not bad, but she was relatively short, and her figure was very petite... Du Qianrui was also petite, and this girl was different from Du Qianrui, she did not have Du Qianrui's charming figure with bumps and plumpness , looks a bit flimsy.

The little lady said again: "The father of the concubine is Xu Zhang."

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and remembered who Xu Zhang was, she suddenly said "oh".Isn't that Princess Zhao who was divorced by her third brother? !Or maybe Xu Zhang has more than one daughter, but how could Xu Zhang's daughter be with Chen Dachui?

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Chen Dachui with a questioning expression on his face.

Then Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Mistress Xu was Princess Zhao before, and her aunt was the wife of General He, Marquis of Ningyuan. When I saw Marquis Ningyuan, what I said was accidentally overheard by Mistress Xu. Marquis Ningyuan made the decision and lied about Xu The lady wanted to become a nun, so she told me to bring her to the palace of the King of Han. Fortunately, Miss Xu can ride a horse, and obeyed the general's arrangements on the road, fortunately, there was no trouble."

And this kind of thing!

Xu Xiaoniang said cautiously: "Hanwang Mingjian, I didn't do it on purpose."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, since she had already been divorced, and mentioning that the relationship with Zhao Wang was not very good, he said: "Miss Xu has been wronged, please Haihan."

When Xu Xiaoniang heard the address, she immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu with strange eyes.She then shook her head, her eyes kept wandering away from Zhu Gaoxu, as if she was very interested in him.

Although she was once the wife of Zhu Gaoxu's brother, when Gao Sui got married, Zhu Gaoxu had already arrived in Yunnan, and before he had time to attend Gao Sui's wedding, he had never met this sister-in-law.

"This way..." Zhu Gaoxu quickly began to order, "Wang Gui, take Miss Xu to see the princess, ask the princess to receive her first, and then let Duan Xuehen look after her."

Wang Gui said: "Your servant obeys."

Zhu Gaoxu politely said to Xu Xiaoniang: "Miss Xu, don't worry, the concubine will take care of you." He paused for a while, and then said, "In addition, there are inevitably some spies hiding in the dark in the palace and army of the Han Dynasty. Let the imperial court know that Miss Xu is in the Palace of the King of Han. Therefore, Miss Xu should not tell others about her identity, and she has to change her name...Just say that your surname was Wang before, and you became a nun in your early years, and you only saved your hair last year and returned to vulgarity."

Xu Xiaoniang bent her knees and turned her face slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Han, I obey, and I will leave."

After Wang Gui led the people away, Zhu Gaoxu went to the chair behind the desk, turned around and said, "Next time I see He Fu, tell him to be more careful. General Chen, show me the things first."

"Yes." Chen Dachui took out an envelope from his clothes for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on the chair, took the letter and tore it open for a closer look.

He ignored Chen Dachui, and fell silent for a long time after reading the letter.He was a little surprised after reading the letter, because those people in the court probably guessed his strategy correctly; but he gradually got the bottom line... He Fu actually became the deputy general of Pinghan Zuo!

The position of Deputy General Zuo is very important. He can not only participate in military aircraft, but also have military power.

For example, when Zhang Fu was in the Battle of Conquering the Southern Kingdom, he was appointed as the deputy general, and he had a large army directly under him, even more than the coach Zhu Gaoxu!Due to the slow communication, wars with too many people, the space of the battlefield will be very large, and it is inconvenient for a commander to command, so the power of troops is usually divided.

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses, looked up and saw Chen Dachui standing silently in front of the desk, he said: "Sledge Hammer did a good job, I will not treat you badly from now on."

Chen Dachui said: "I owe today to the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "You go and rest first, and I will call you to discuss matters later."

Chen Dachui left and walked out of the study.

Gradually Zhu Gaoxu felt the coolness on his body.Summer is not over yet, but the climate in Yunnan Prefecture is like this, day and night, rainy and sunny days are like two seasons; Zhu Gaoxu is soaked all over, and after sitting here for a long time, he feels even colder.He was only thinking about He Fu's news just now, and didn't bother to change his wet clothes.

He was alone in the study now, and he looked up to the door, trying to call someone in.

At this moment, Miao Jin's figure appeared at the door.She was wearing a Taoist robe and holding an umbrella. After closing the umbrella, she was seen holding a stack of clothes in her arms.Just seeing the clothes, Zhu Gaoxu felt warmed up, probably because his heart suddenly warmed up.

Miao Jin came over and put the clothes on the table, "You can change the wet clothes."

"What a coincidence, how does Miao Jin know that I'm wet?" Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.

Miao Jin's tone was calm, but her expression didn't seem very happy, "I met Wang Gui outside the Chengyun gate, and he brought a woman with him. Wang Gui called me a real person, and the woman immediately guessed who I was. Asked if I was the little aunt of the King of Han. Wang Gui also said that the King of Han was discussing matters, so he didn’t want to be disturbed by the idlers, and wanted to find a trusted eunuch to bring clothes over. So I said, I shouldn’t be considered an idler..."

Zhu Gaoxu listened to the words, first carried the clothes into the storage room inside, and changed the wet clothes.

He came out and said in a low voice, "That woman is the former concubine of Zhao Wang Gaosui, and she was divorced because she didn't have a child." He then roughly explained how Miss Xu came to Yunnan, and then told Miaojin to keep it secret. .

After hearing this, Miao Jin murmured disinterestedly: "No wonder she guessed me right away, King Zhao probably mentioned me in front of her."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "In the past, in Yan Wang's mansion, there were many women in my father's mansion, but Miao Jin's beauty still overwhelmed everyone. You are also close to our mother, Gao Sui must remember."

Miao Jin said calmly: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Yang Rong wrote an article in the court, falsely accusing the King of Han of taking me away, making it known all over the world."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and thought for a moment, then said kindly: "Miao Jin, don't care too much about gossip, you and I have no blood relationship, what are you afraid of?"

Miao Jin didn't answer.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I will go out again soon, if Miao Jin is not afraid of hard work, will you still follow me?"

Miao Jin pondered, hesitated, and said softly, "It's not that I'm afraid of hard work, it's just that my words are awesome... But I also think that my book is not finished yet, so I am willing to go to war with the King of Han."

"That's why." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Miaojin's book was written by me, you have to finish it."

Miao Jin showed a complicated expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "It turns out that Gao Xu also cares about fame?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I don't really care about it now, but I think it will change in the future. When a person gets old, it's meaningless to think about anything, and nothing can be kept. Everything becomes a cloud, and only hanging on the wall can be seen by others." The vanity of worship still has some meaning? Since you are willing to write, why don't I follow you?"

"You are such a greedy person." Miao Jin muttered.

Zhu Gaoxu blurted out: "Who is not greedy?"
