It was early August when Zhu Gaoxu finally arrived in Yunnan Prefecture City.
The journey was very difficult, and the worn and smooth stones on the five-foot road impressed him deeply.
The group of people's shoes were several pairs of broken shoes, so they had to wrap cloth around the soles of the shoes soles to protect the soles of their feet from being injured.
Zhu Gaoxu remembers the situation in Dousha Pass.
In the place where the stone gate is engraved on the closed door, the guards checked their way.
The road sign was not fake, it was indeed a thing issued by the Yunnan government; Zhu Gaoxu and others also purchased a lot of Shu brocade in Luzhou, the Sichuan governor, which looked more like a business gang.
But the general guarding the pass somehow smelled something strange, acted very suspicious, and asked a lot of questions.
Finally, he finally let it go, but Zhu Gaoxu was sweating heavily.
If the unknown guard of Guancheng refused to let go, Zhu Gaoxu and others would have to go back to Yunnan.
In this world, only inanimate machinery can operate accurately.
Anything that someone gets involved is full of various turbulent causes.
Perhaps people themselves are not accurate, and various emotions, such as anger, fear, and impulse, often completely subvert the decision at a certain moment.
So Zhu Gaoxu felt more and more that it would be futile to completely control everything.
Fortunately, personal emotions cannot affect everything, and most of the time, people's thoughts still have traces to follow.But it is really difficult to get through those subtle things.
Zhu Gaoxu and others did not go to the Han Palace for the time being. They quietly went to an empty restaurant.When he returned to Yunnan, he decided not to disturb Mu Sheng at first, so that he could have more room for detour.
The people walked into the city at the south gate because there was a stronghold of the royal palace guard station there.
The stronghold was still the place left when the assassin was investigated. Later, because it was close to the city gate and was very convenient to control the movements in the city, it was not laid off.
Zhu Gaoxu confirmed that the sergeant at the southern city stronghold discovered him and left the vicinity of the city gate.In this way, Wang Bin and the military generals in the defence station will soon know that he has returned to Yunnan.
... Zhu Gaoxu bought this restaurant that has been vacant for a long time a few years ago.At that time, the place where he and Yao Ji and his family of three met was here.
The location of the restaurant is not very good, there are not many people passing by outside, and there are mostly private houses around; this is probably why the shopkeepers sold the restaurant?
Zhu Gaoxu didn't choose much at the beginning, but he happened to find that there was a place where he wanted to redeem it, so he paid for it.
Everyone was exhausted, so they ate some dry food and drank some water. At this time, they had found the house and lie down and sleep.
Zhu Gaoxu was also exhausted and immediately lay down in a wing room in the outer courtyard, but after tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep!
As soon as he returned to Yunnan, he felt a lot of trouble, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
After a while, the door suddenly rang out, and Zhu Gaoxu quickly thought: Maybe Wang Bin and others had learned the news and sent someone over.
He then turned over and walked out of the door of the room. At this time, the door rang twice again.
In addition, the yard was very quiet. The few people who accompanied him back to Yunnan had already died of sleep, and no one noticed the knock on the door at all.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't blame them. He was indeed squeezing everyone's physical strength limits along the way, especially the female eunuchs and the literati Qi Tai, the most difficult to bear.
Zhu Gaoxu walked behind the door and used to looking at the crack in the door alertly.He immediately found something strange because he could see through the crack in the door that there was no one outside!
He was stunned for a moment, his tired and chaotic mind gave him the illusion that he had just heard.
Zhu Gaoxu calmed down, gently pulled the door bolt, and opened one of the doors. He poked his head out and took a look, but saw nothing, then he quickly looked at the other side, but still didn't see anyone!
At this moment, a voice said: Prince, is it convenient for me to come in?
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he remembered that the voice was very familiar, as if it was Yao Fang’s voice!Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: It’s okay, come in.
Sure enough, Yao Fang flashed in, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately closed the door.
Yao Fang clasped her fists and said: When the general saw the King of Han and eight others entering this place just now, most of them didn't know each other, so he didn't rush to come over.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't notice where Yao Fang was just now. He might be too tired and didn't have so much energy to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised to see Yao Fang, but he still calmed down and said: "The house said."
The two of them entered the wing where Zhu Gaoxu had just slept, and the tables, chairs and houses inside were covered with dust.However, Zhu Gaoxu was also dusty and dirty, so he didn't care.
How could you be in Yunnan?Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Yao Fang said: The last general only entered the city yesterday. He came here first and saw that no one had come in, so he stayed here for a night.
After Zhu Gaoxu came in, he also didn't pay attention to the traces of someone who came last night.
Yao Fang continued: Hu Guang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and chief assistant of the cabinet, entered Yunnan from Guizhou and was ordered to win over the Hou Musheng of Xiping.At that time, the Jinyiwei also wanted to send someone to follow him. It happened that he had been to Yunnan in the future. He was so angry that he felt that he had experience and familiarity, so he was selected.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he couldn't help but laughed briefly. He seemed to be laughing at the cleverness of encounters in the world.
Hu Guang went to Xiping Hou Mansion?Zhu Gaoxu's smile disappeared in an instant, and he asked with a frown.
Yao Fang shook her head and said: I guess he will not be able to arrive in Kunming at least three days.At the end, the general came to Yunnan Fucheng to inquire about the situation and took the lead, but in fact he wanted to tell the King of Han in advance.He paused for a moment and said, "You have left the capital for more than a month. It's time to go to Yunnan."Why did the prince just arrive in Yunnan Prefecture City now?
Zhu Gaoxu said: In order to avoid the followers of the Eastern Palace as much as possible, we are walking the five-foot road.That road is difficult to walk, and it is impossible to ride a horse for several sections, so you can only walk on a difficult trek.We grit our teeth and rush our way to reach Kunming City today.
So that's it, I understand.Yao Fang said, "I ask the King of Han to tell you how to deal with Hu Guang?"
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and asked: How many people are there around him?
Yao Fang said: Yunnan is the territory of the King of Han. Hu Guang came to disguise himself on this trip, and there were only three people in his group.There is also a groom.The official road they walked.
Zhu Gaoxu looked thoughtful. After a long time, he raised his hand and said: Don’t meet Hu Guang for now, and I will talk about it when I send someone to capture him.
Yao Fang clasped her fists and said: The last general obeys the order.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Brother Yao has made great contributions. If I succeed in the future, I will not treat you unfairly!
Yao Fang said: The three of them in the last family are willing to help the prince!
He said this and immediately said: The fewer people know about this identity, the better. He will not meet the prince and his subordinates, and say goodbye.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, got up and sent Yao Fang out, so as to bolt the door again.
Before noon, Wang Bin and Zhao Ping came to the restaurant.
Zhu Gaoxu told them a while and told them about what had happened.
Then Zhu Gaoxu ordered Wang Bin and Zhao Ping to immediately follow the official road to Guizhou to find Hu Guang and quietly catch him back here.
Hu Guang was a civil servant with a groom; Wang Bin and other two military generals who had fought war were enough to deal with them.Moreover, Hu Guang has been to Yunnan and entered the Han Palace, and General Wang Bin has seen him.
Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: There is a groom beside Hu Guang, kill it on the spot, but the body must be hidden.This time is now critical, so you must pay attention to your work!
Wang Bin said: Don’t worry, you have worked on that pawnshop in Jiangxi, and it’s not very clean!
Zhu Gaoxu saw the two of them away, paced in the wing room, still without any sleepiness.
Zhu Gaoxu also agreed with what Qi Tai said when everyone was still in Taoyuan, Wushan.
Now the court needs time, and he, Zhu Gaoxu, also... He, must deal with the Mu Mansion's affairs first, otherwise there will be no way to openly raise an army!
If you can win over your own command, that is the best result, otherwise you have to find another way.In short, I absolutely cannot avoid Mu's mansion before the rebellion.
He couldn't sleep on both sides, so Zhu Gaoxu went to the kitchen to boil water and take a shower.This place has not been lived in for a long time, but there is a well in the backyard and a lot of firewood remains.
After taking a shower, Zhu Gaoxu went to call Veda again and asked him to wash the stench on his body.
The two of them searched around the house in the backyard and finally found two old clothes to put on. They couldn't find the underwear, so they didn't wear anything inside.
Fortunately, it is not cold in early August in Yunnan, so it will not be cold in the afternoon when wearing a single dress.
Zhu Gaoxu was working with Veda again, and took dry food to cook a pot of hot porridge.
While adding firewood, Zhu Gaoxu said: Li Mo, the chief of the Han Palace, seems to have an old relationship with Commander Wei?
Veda looked unspeakable and said: Our two families had contacts many years ago.
Zhu Gaoxu knew what their relationship was. Veda's daughter and Li Mo had an engagement in the past.
Later, Zhu Gaoxu's mother fell in love with Veda's daughter, and the engagement was immediately torn by Veda... It was just a matter of the world, but in the end Zhu Gaoxu married the granddaughter of the Guo family of Wuding Hou.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: I heard that his father is a hundred households. He failed the exam in martial arts and failed to inherit the hundred households. Later, I didn't know what path I took, but I actually went to the Han Palace to become a civil servant.
Veda said: The love that the last one is asking for him has made the prince embarrassed.
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: This matter doesn't matter, but the other thing cannot be done lightly. He is a spy from the Eastern Palace.
Ah?Veda's face suddenly froze.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I haven't figured out yet how he was bought or had he been caught and threatened? But I have someone there, and Li Mo is a spy and can't make a mistake.
Veda said angrily: Prince, let the general kill him with his own hands!
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: The time is here, I will tell Commander Wei.
Veda hurriedly said: Although the General of the Mo is old with Li Mo, he is definitely not a person who is traitor!
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, of course Commander Wei is not. You are the commander of the Han Prince's Mansion and have been with me for so many years.If I get unlucky one day, your Wei family will definitely be included among the people who are liquidated.
Veda nodded vigorously: Even if he is about to die, he will not surrender to others.
The journey was very difficult, and the worn and smooth stones on the five-foot road impressed him deeply.
The group of people's shoes were several pairs of broken shoes, so they had to wrap cloth around the soles of the shoes soles to protect the soles of their feet from being injured.
