Chapter 80 News from Texas

When he first returned to Peking, Princess Xu kept Zhu Gaoxu for dinner. Zhu Gaoxu politely declined and said he would take a few days to go... When he said this, it was just an excuse, but after a few days he actually went there.

I remember the scenery I saw in Nanjing was so beautiful, but now Zhu Gaoxu was riding a horse in the city of Peking, and his eyes were full of dark colors.The neighbors are also horizontal and vertical, very monotonous.

Only the red walls of the Yàn Palace add a bit of bright color to the city of Beiping.

Zhu Gaoxu entered the palace and met Princess Xu first.

However, Xu Miaojin was beside him, so he didn't ask anything, just talked about some homely events.

At the hour of You, Princess Xu kept Zhu Gaoxu for dinner again, and Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the situation to agree.

I have never seen Xu Miaojin and Princess having dinner with him, and today is no exception.

It was still in that luxurious dining room with round tables in the middle, exquisite cloud brocade tables, and various expensive items were placed around it.

The colorful pictures of ladies on the wall make people forget the withering of the grass outside for a while.

After setting up the dishes, King Yàn hurried into the dining room.Zhu Gaoxu and others hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Sit, sit down.King Yàn said casually.He got to the top and took the seat first, and Zhu Gaoxu and other talents sat down one after another.

King Yàn glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, I heard that Gao Xu was here to have a meal, otherwise he wouldn't come back to eat, and he was busy.

Princess Xu said with a smile: Look, the prince is still thinking about you very much, but he is too busy when the battle starts.

The sons and ministers are considerate of their father.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Needless to say, Princess Xu, Zhu Gaoxu could also feel that King Yàn valued him. As a father, King Yàn has already given face... On the battlefield, Zhu Gaoxu held his head and fought for him, which was not a vain.

Princess Xu also speaks appropriately, and she is a lady from a noble family.She did not compare other children, but Zhu Gaoxu could imagine that other brothers and sisters could not be treated like this.

King Yàn said again, Sheng Yong left Jinan City and came to capture Dezhou again!The official army captured and recovered many prefectures and counties, and advanced step by step to the north.

Prince, are you going to go to war again?Princess Xu asked immediately.

King Yàn nodded and said: Princess, don’t worry, this time is different from before.Before, Li Jinglong had an army of hundreds of thousands, including many elite cavalry; what is Sheng Yong's hand now?

King Yàn paused and sneered: Sheng Yong didn’t even have decent cavalry in his hands, I’ll see how he fought.

Zhu Gaoxu was unquestionable, nor could he predict... On the one hand, he agreed with what King Yàn said, that cavalry in this era is a weapon of killing!

Cavalry may not be invincible, but to deal with cavalry, you can't beat them; you can't beat them.

The horse team's mobility and combat power are not bad, and there are no obvious weaknesses.

If infantry is not really at a disadvantage against cavalry, then why do they build so many heavy walls in the north?

But on the other hand, when he was fighting Geng Bingwen at Zhending City, Zhu Gaoxu was almost surrounded to death, and Sheng Yong left a deep impression on him with his infantry level!If Sheng Yong had elite infantry, it would still be difficult to deal with.

Zhu Gaoxu refused to comment on the war, turned to look at Princess Xu, and said in a very relaxed tone, "I heard that my aunt is refining elixirs. Did the elixir materials be bought by people from the royal family?"

Princess Xu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and the meaning contained in her eyes was unclear. It was probably because she thought Zhu Gaoxu was paying attention to her aunt... but Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about so much.

Princess Xu said: Most people in the royal palace believe in Buddhism, how can they understand Taoist elixirs?There is a Chi Yueguan in Xicheng, which renovated Jing Qing’s mansion in Peiping that year, where there were twenty or thirty female Taoist priests, who could prepare things.By the way, outside the West City, there is the Baiyun Temple of Quanzhen Sect, which is a great Taoist temple with a complete range of things.

Understood.Zhu Gaoxu said with a strong smile.

In Princess Xu's words, there are a few names he is familiar with.

Many people have read martial arts books in their previous lives, and those who have not read them have also watched TV series... However, the contents of the Quanzhen Sect and the martial arts books here are very different. Qiu Chuji is not a national hero, but it is actually highly valued by the Yuan Dynasty court. Such religious people only want to become immortals, and their political tendencies are a waste of time to cultivate immortals. Yin Zhiping is not that lustful, but he is a very powerful Quanzhen Sect disciple. He is a bit unfair. If he knows the reputation of the later generations, he might have jumped out of the grave.

When the dishes came, Zhu Gaoxu stopped mentioning his aunt.

After dinner, he saw it was getting late, so he hurried to say goodbye.When I walked out of the Yàn Palace, I could hardly see the road clearly.In autumn in Peking, you can feel that the daylight is getting shorter and shorter.

Just now at the dinner table, King Yàn mentioned the war.

Zhu Gaoxu guessed that he could not stay in Peking for long. King Yàn almost always went to the battle in person, and Zhu Gaoxu, as a powerful general under his command, had to accompany him.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Wang Gui and others holding lanterns, he suddenly felt that Wang Gui was still safe in doing things.

When he returned to the mansion, Wang Gui followed and said: Does the prince still remember the "bin" wine shop in Kuanghan City?The house in the shop is from the diary, and the lease period is coming soon. Have you gone to the owner of the restaurant to renew the lease?

Zhu Gaoxu thought, Zhang Xin knew that place, and now Zhang Xin is following the leader of King Yàn... The secret of the wine shop no longer exists.

He said: No need.You'll deal with it.

yes.Wang Gui said, the servant first finds someone to take over. If he can't find it, he will sell the things inside.

Zhu Gaoxu stood still and said: No one is willing to take the shop.You can find a few people in the mansion to sell things, and how much money can you get?You don't have to go, I have something else to do.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: Please give instructions to the palace.

Go to the study room inside.Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.

The two entered the study room and closed the door.Zhu Gaoxu walked around the bookshelf and sat down at the desk.Wang Gui stood beside him, bent and waited for the order, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted Wang Gui to watch Chi Yueguan, but he felt it was inappropriate... What if Xu Miaojin did not go to Chi Yueguan, but went to Baiyunguan?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want others to know about this, after all, everything was still to be verified; he didn't want Xu Miaojin to be suddenly suspected and fall into the hands of Yao Guangxiao and his group.

Wang Gui's godson Cao Fu seems to be able to trust him.But only two people are still not enough.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and rubbed his forehead for a while, and finally said: Wang Gui, go to the north gate of the Prince's Mansion to stare. When he saw a female Taoist priest leaving the palace, he followed her to see what she did. She must have worn a veil when she went out, but there are no other Taoist priests in the palace. You think about it... this matter must be kept confidential!

He described Xu Miaojin's height again.

Wang Gui said: I obey the order.

I can only try my luck in this matter... There are four gates in and out of the palace. Thinking of Xu Miaojin living in the inner hall of the palace, it is possible that he will leave from the north gate.

There is not enough manpower, there is no way.

Like in later generations, only one person is followed, and two or three people do things that can be done well.

Not to mention the staff of the Prince's Mansion, there are more people in the Prince's Mansion, but how many secret things can really make King Yàn trust?
