Chapter 163 Make a deal

It seems...it's that person.Yun'er suddenly spoke.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked up and saw a tall young scholar in a square scarf and green robe walking into the door and talking to the woman inside.

He immediately stood up and said, Miss Yun'er, I didn't come back for a moment, so I'll come back another day.

He walked out of the door quietly, stood in the attic, and paid attention to the scholar from Yu Guang.

Whether it is Gao Xianning or not, Zhu Gaoxu also wants to go and see it. He dare not leave Beijing for too long and will leave at noon tomorrow at most.

Yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu discussed with Wang Gui. Tomorrow, Wang Gui would cross the river from the port near the outer Jinchuan Gate to pick him up.So Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care whether this matter is successful or not, he must go back to his home first.

The scribe did not go up to the attic, but walked in a direction without stairs.Zhu Gaoxu observed that there was a door leading to the back and immediately walked down the attic.

Sure enough, the scholar passed through another door in the lobby, and Zhu Gaoxu followed.When I left the concierge, there was also a patio with two-story houses on all sides.

I don’t know if that person is Gao Xianning, and Zhu Gaoxu and he have never met each other.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately walked to the eaves quietly. The scholar looked back, but Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were staring at the one upstairs and had already walked past the scholar.

The scribe walked to a door and knocked on the door three times, twice and slowly.

The door opened, and Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned around and walked over, saying: Mr. Gao Gong?

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and Zhu Gaoxu rushed to the front of the door quickly and reached out to lift the wooden door open.There was actually Qi Tai, the former Minister of War, standing inside!

The three of them looked at each other with subtle expressions.

Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised. He just wanted to find Gao Xianning first and then try to find Qi Tai, but he didn't expect Qi Tai to hide here!Didn’t Qi Tai go out of Beijing to recruit soldiers?

There was no one on the eaves, so Zhu Gaoxu whispered: Qibutang, lucky to meet.

Qi Tai's mouth moved and bowed and returned the greeting. Fortunately, I wish you a happy meeting.After all, I was a person who had seen a big scene, but he was so calm at this time.

Or, let’s go in and talk?Zhu Gaoxu said.

please.Qi Tai said.

Gao Xianning, who was standing beside him, was very young, but he was calm and silent.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the threshold, Qi Tai glanced outside.But there were no official officers and armored soldiers brought by Zhu Gaoxu outside.

The three of them sat up and down, and Zhu Gaoxu sat upright without hesitation.

Qi Tai said: I had already persuaded some of my colleagues to fight against the enemy in Jiangnan, but Xianning rushed over and took me away with me kindly, and advised me not to be enemies with King Yàn...

I understand.Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Gao Gongshi. Gao Gongshi was also devoted to the court, so he would dissuade Qibutang."Qibutang was a loyal minister of Emperor Jianwen. Of course, he had to fight the enemy to the end. After all, the name on the Jingnan manifesto could not be eliminated, and the family could not be punished for nothing.

When Qi Tai heard something in his words, his face suddenly looked very ugly.

At this moment, Gao Xianning bowed and said: I dare to ask my brother...

I am Zhu Gaoxu.

After hearing this, Gao Xianning was frozen there, his eyes showing a look of worry.

Don’t be afraid of Gaogong.Zhu Gaoxu said, if I come to catch you, how can I come alone?Why do you have to talk to you here?

Gao Xianning said: Why did King Gaoyang come?

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: What is the current situation of Qibutang? Gao Gongshi should know, and you also know the consequences of hiding Qibutang.But Gao Gongshi still ignored his life and thought about his teacher's kindness, which is righteousness.This king admires him very much and does not want to harm him.

Qi Tai and Gao Xianning looked at each other.

Zhu Gaoxu said: How about we discuss a deal?

When Gao Xianning saw him looking at him, he bowed and said, "Gaoyang King, please speak."

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: My father loves the virtuous and wants to invite Gao Gongshi to the court to become an official, but you are determined to be a pastoral country.In order to give my father a wise man, as long as Gao Gongshi is willing to enter the court as an official, I will protect the life of Qi's ministry.

Qi Tai suddenly said seriously: The success and defeat of the enemy, the matter has come to this point. I will give you the head of your husband and ask King Gaoyang not to implicate Xianning.

Please be at ease with Qibutang.Zhu Gaoxu's eyes stared at Gao Xianning's face.

Gao Xianning pondered: How can King Gaoyang protect his mentor?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: You should know who I am, you can’t even protect yourself? After Gao Gongshi entered the court, I will ask Qibutang to write a letter to report your safety.

Qi Tai said: I am afraid of death...

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and interrupted him: Can we not say this?Why do people die if they can live?If I were Qibutang, I wouldn't want to die.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: You are really determined to die, just stay in the capital and wait for death, why are you still trying to do anything? I don’t believe in the dignified Minister of War, and I will feel that after the capital city is broken, Jianwen’s forces can still raise an army and fight again!

Gao Xianning said: One word is certain!

Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed and stretched out his hand and said: A gentleman's word...

Gao Xianning was stunned for a moment, and also reached out to high fives as Zhu Gaoxu, and responded flexibly, "It's hard to catch up!"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: The Yangzhou city gate has been closed, so he can only let the two of you condescend here for one night and leave the city tomorrow.Qibutang and I left, Gao Gongshi asked him to go home and wait.

So in the brothel room where girls were crowded with girls, three men lived in the same room and stayed overnight.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't leave, he wanted to look at Qi Tai.After nightfall, the three of them looked worried and had no time to speak.

Not only is Gao Xianning worried and afraid, but why is Zhu Gaoxu also worried?

Qi Tai is the number one treacherous minister. Zhu Gaoxu actually wants to save this person. Once there is any mistake in any link and the news is leaked, Zhu Gaoxu will be in trouble and leave... by chance, Zhu Gaoxu will think it is unreasonable.

But he is just that kind of person. If he thinks he can do it, he will do it!

There are few things in this world that can be accomplished.When Zhu Di raised an army, no one promised him that he would succeed.Those who are unwilling to take risks will do nothing and are the best choice.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu took Qi Tai out. The two of them wore big hats and bought a horse first, and then walked through the downtown Yangzhou to get out of the city... There was also a notice of wanting Qi Tai at the gate.

However, I don’t know who the portrait came from, so I was so freehand that I couldn’t see anything that could tell others. The special thing about the portrait is that the person on it is wearing a black veil and a group collar.

However, Zhu Gaoxu was still nervous. He let out a long sigh after leaving the city gate, turned around and smiled: The sister kiln he met when Qibutang went to Beijing to take the exam is really affectionate and loyal. Zhang Xin is too much. I will help you avenge her when you have the chance.

Qi Tai looked stunned.

Just kidding.Zhu Gaoxu smiled again.

The two rode their horses along the post road to Jiangbei on the other side of the capital. Qi Tai did not resist any along the way. He was a civil servant, and he seemed to be very self-aware and able to judge the situation.

They arrived at the place and waited for a while before they saw the eunuch Wang Gui who came across the river.

Zhu Gaoxu told Wang Gui: Take him to the "Peach Blossom Land" and hand it over to the owner of that place.Be careful along the way and do not be careless at all.

Wang Gui received the order.

Zhu Gaoxu and Qi Tai said goodbye: There will be a date in sir. Remember to write to your student and ask Wang Gui to bring it back.
