Chapter 563 Seeing the Sun Again

The clouds in the sky have been thick for a while, but it has not rained.

It was already dawn, and the rain had not yet fallen, but the long-lost morning sun emerged from the clouds.The winter sun shines through the curtains in the antique house, making everything brighter.

Zhu Gaoxu was still in Yao Ji's room.He had already gotten up, but he hadn't dressed yet. He was walking slowly back and forth by the window in his white silk underwear.

And Yao Ji was lying sideways on the bed, her head was propped on her white arms like sliced ​​onions, with a half-smile in her eyes, she kept looking at Zhu Gaoxu who was pacing.

"I have a bold idea." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned around and said.

"Huh?" Yao Ji echoed softly, continuing to look at Zhu Gaoxu with great interest.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I will lock you up as a criminal!"

Yao Ji froze for a moment, and said, "What does the lord mean, you want me to be the assassin from last night?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "The people who captured the assassins last night were all soldiers from the Beisi, and they are quite reliable; I also asked them to clean up the traces of the assassins coming in. Next, I just need to reward them for their achievements and order them to keep the inside information. The truth must remain hidden for some time.

And the shouting in the yard last night alarmed the people outside the fence; the people outside only knew that there was an assassin in the courtyard, but they didn't know what kind of assassin it was..."

Yao Ji's eyes quickly showed a dazed expression, and she sat up with the quilt.She is a very intelligent woman, she must have understood what Zhu Gaoxu meant!Seeing her moved appearance, it is very clear what she is thinking.

If what happened last night created the false impression that Yao Ji failed in assassinating|killing Zhu Gaoxu; although she failed, Yao Guangxiao didn't need to move Yao Fang... at least not for the time being.

Seeing that Yao Ji seemed to understand the reason, Zhu Gaoxu said, "I don't want to see you depressed."

Yao Ji thought for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "Won't you be afraid that I will be unhappy if you want to lock me up?" When Zhu Gaoxu saw her smile, he naturally didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Yao Ji asked again: "Is the lord going to lock me up, tie me up, and do whatever I want?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you willing to let me do whatever I want?"

Yao Ji's eyes flickered, and she said a little embarrassedly: "As long as the prince thinks, why would I not want to do it..."

At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gui's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "My lord, please report urgently, Zhang Fu's army changed early this morning!"

Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed, and he was shocked for a moment; then a smile gradually appeared on his face, full of surprise that could not be concealed.He held his breath for a while, and responded: "The king will go later!"

Wang Gui's voice said: "Your servant obeys."

Yao Ji put away her coquettish smile, seeing Zhu Gaoxu's happy face, she smiled and said: "I am serving the prince to get dressed, the prince will go to business first."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!"

Yao Ji got up from the bed.The sunlight penetrating through the curtains sprinkled on the skin of her face, which was beautiful and full of vitality; under the bright light, the subtle expressions on her face and everything about her could be seen very clearly.At this time, her face was very red, as if she had drunk alcohol, and under that slightly shameful and embarrassed expression, there was no reluctance... Maybe only the strong who she really admired can see her Rich look at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu's face was also very red, and his emotions were very high, not only because of the beautiful scenery at this time, but also because of the successful mutiny of the army navy and the huge benefits brought by it, which made him very excited.

It was hard for him to stabilize his mood a little, and under Yao Ji's service, he put on his clothes.

Then Yao Ji also got dressed, but before she had time to dress up, her black hair was messy.She sent Zhu Gaoxu to the side of the partition, and said softly: "I can only live in a small cage in a small room, waiting for the prince's blessing..."

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at her and said, "It's not long."

Yao Ji smiled lightly.

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.Seeing that Wang Gui was still standing outside the door, he said in a deep voice: "Tell your godson Cao Fu to take care of the person who saw the assassin last night. Then you send someone to watch Mrs. Yao and not let her go out."

Wang Gui is not a talkative person, he immediately bent down and said, "Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu whispered again: "It's just a play, but don't be too fake."

After he said that, he walked south along the corridor under the eaves.From time to time, there is a section of the eaves, full of winter sunshine, which makes people feel warm.Zhu Gaoxu felt that his steps were very brisk; he felt that his body was also light. If he hadn't considered his prince's prudence, he would really want to jump up!

Perhaps in one lifetime, there are not many times when one can truly be happy from the heart.And now is that happy moment.

Zhu Gaoxu came to the central hall of Xingyuan, and he saw Sheng Yongping, Qu Neng, Wang Bin and other generals, Mr. Li, Hou Hai and other civil officials were all waiting there.They got up early and heard about Zhang Fu, how could they sit still?

Because it had been a while since he got the good news, Zhu Gaoxu was able to calm down his words and deeds now. He calmly summoned the scouts first and personally asked the details of the officer's barracks.

Sheng Yong clasped his fists and said: "My lord is wise, brave, and careful. This time, without hurting any of my soldiers, he took down the enemy's army, water and land. The 'battle of crime' is sure to come! Congratulations to your lord."

Mr. Li couldn't wait to say: "The navy is really sending charcoal in a timely manner! The official heard that the main force of the crusade army has gone to Dongzhou Island in the south; the prince should immediately transfer the army back to the place where the incident happened; to meet Zhang Fu, Take complete control of the situation!"

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Immediately issue a military order and send it to the west coast of Dongzhou Island."

"Obey!" Mr. Li clasped his fists.

Zhu Gaoxu was also a little impatient, and wanted to lead the cavalry guards to the north of Hengzhou first; but he could think of all the civil and military people here who wanted to persuade him, so he gave up for now.

He judged now: Zhang Fujun must not have surrendered falsely.But rumors of an assassin came out last night, and the civil and military members of the Hanwang Army Group would never easily agree to Zhu Gaoxu taking a little risk!Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, although he didn't have to listen to dissuasion, but it would be very troublesome to resist all opinions.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and came up with a compromise, and said: "Immediately mobilize the main force of the cavalry to go first! This king will personally accept the surrender."

Sure enough, there was no objection, and Mr. Li bowed again: "I will obey your orders!" Then he walked to the table next to him.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up: "When Ma Jun arrives outside Hengzhou City, report it immediately."

After he finished speaking, he left the seat, and all civil and military officials performed the ceremony one after another.

Dongzhou Island is located on the Xiangjiang River in the south of Hengzhou City, not far from Hengzhou City.The cavalry maneuvered quickly, and it didn't take long to move northward; but it took a lot of time to gather and deploy at least [-] to [-] cavalry.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to meet the assassin last night while he still had some time to go out of the city.

The assassin was Duan Yang, and Zhu Gaoxu had already heard Wang Gui's report outside the door yesterday.When he was in Yunnan, Wang Gui also met that woman.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked to the backyard, he saw the eunuch Wang Gui coming up to him.So he asked Wang Gui to lead the way to the place where Duan Yang was detained.

Without interrogation, Zhu Gaoxu gradually guessed Duan Yang's motives.

Zhu Gaoxu has no grievances with this woman. He caught her before and let her go.Not only did he not offend her, he was also somewhat sympathetic... The only possible reason this woman wanted to assassinate|kill him was to deal with the Mu family!

After all, people must have strong motives for such desperate and desperate things; it is impossible for her to offend her with a small matter, and she will fight it out.

As long as Duan Yang can kill Zhu Gaoxu, even if he has an absolute advantage in the "Battle of Conquest", the King of Han's army may fail!Many soldiers and military households didn't want to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, they just wanted to award rewards; and if Zhu Gaoxu was gone, it would be difficult for the King of Han army to have anyone in the army to command and unite the hearts of the people.

Once the King of Han's army is defeated, the Mu Mansion is one of the biggest sinners who "conspired against" the imperial court, and the whole family may not be able to keep it!This is Duan Yang's only possible motive.

Wang Gui pushed open a side room, and Zhu Gaoxu stepped in.A court lady was treating Duan Yang's wound on her leg. The maid looked back, curtsied her knees, and then took a blanket to cover Duan Yang's knee.

Duan Yang's hands were tied behind her back on a piece of grand master, she didn't struggle at this time, but just stared at Zhu Gaoxu coldly.Zhu Gaoxu looked at her a few times, and felt that this woman had really aged a lot after a few years.
