At the moment when he saw the light again, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he suddenly returned from a long hell to the world. Perhaps this was the case with the underworld, so dark that nothing could be seen.
He first saw Wang Bin's rough round face and fierce eyes, then took a long breath and quickly crawled out of the coffin.
Prince!The prince... Several people around him were surrounded by joy.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word and felt very complicated.Since the Ming Dynasty, this time is the closest to death!He didn't know whether to be grateful, surprised, or afraid.
He looked back and saw that several people around him were fascinated and could not speak.It seems that this is an inn, and the funeral attendant has left the city.
Zhu Gaoxu went out without saying a word.When he came back, Wang Bin and others were nailing the coffin.Du Qianrui turned her head and looked at him silently.
Where are we now?Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Zheng He said: I guess I haven’t left Yingtian Prefecture yet, and it is in the south of the capital.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and thought to himself: Many people in the inn were fascinated by the inn. I may find out the strangeness of the coffin later, but everyone has already left the city. It is not easy to investigate again.
Soon a few people slipped out of the inn and several horses were tied outside.Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the sky and saw that it was dark. He didn't need to ask, but he felt that it was night rather than morning.He decided to leave Yingtian Mansion overnight.
The group walked west day and night, and first entered the ground of Chizhou Prefecture along land.At this time, it was not far from the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Gaoxu never forgot and promised the little nun.
A few days ago, he was in the capital and was unable to protect himself. Now he finally escaped from the city, and there is still danger... their whereabouts will be revealed soon. If you are cautious, you should cross the river as soon as possible and leave the territory controlled by the court without stopping.
But Yao Ji's voice seemed to sound in his ears: Don't forget the closeness of your skin, don't lose your current words.
The smell of steamed buns that became sweeter the more you chewed, seemed to remain in your mouth.Zhu Gaoxu did not forget the softness and warmth of her body.
...In less than an hour, everyone rode their horses to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and could see the wide water from afar.Zheng He said: Mr. Zhong, we can walk along the river. When we see the ferry, we will first cross the river.
Zhu Gaoxu agreed.
After a while, he slowed down his mount a little. When Veda and Wang Bin behind him got closer, he spoke: There is still someone in the capital who has not come out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu felt Du Qianrui behind him hugging him a little, and his upper body pressed on Zhu Gaoxu's back, as if he was afraid that he would leave again.
But she was indeed worried that she was wrong, and Zhu Gaoxu would definitely not go back to die by herself!
who?Wang Bin asked first, "Monkey Qingyuan is going to leave Beijing too?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: That little nun is Yao Ji. She saved my life before.I promised to take her away.
Wang Bin said: Prince, don’t worry about her, we finally left the tiger’s den!
Zhu Gaoxu held his mount, turned around and looked at Veda.
Veda and Zhu Gaoxu looked at each other, pondered for a moment and said: No one knows Mo Jiang in the capital, and they can speak official words, so they let Mo Jiang go back to the capital!
Zhu Gaoxu immediately responded: You must be careful. If someone asks you, you will say that your home is in Jilong Mountain and its name is Zhong Bin.The little nie lives in Jiming Temple, and it may also be in the shop on Xiangzhu Street.
Finally, I will obey the order!Veda responded with his fists and said frankly, and then he left.
Zhu Gaoxu held his fists and returned the gift, watching him turn his horse's head.
Zheng He, who was standing aside, did not say anything, but Zhu Gaoxu understood that he was giving him face... It was indeed very risky. If Veda was caught and questioned, no one could guarantee whether he would give the purpose of the trip and affect the overall situation.
But Zhu Gaoxu crawled out of the coffin and no longer cared about what adventure was.
At the beginning, he was almost blocked by the official in Xiangzhu Street by the official in the capital. The overall situation of King Yàn could not save his life. Instead, the one who saved him was a little nun.
……
Zhu Gaoxu and his group took a ferry, crossed the river with their horses, and then rode their horses north.They detoured back to Peiping, and the journey was quite smooth.
When I left Peking, the weather was still very cold in the north, but now it is lush with grass and trees, and I can’t wear a slightly thicker dress.
In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, the people and things in the entire Beiping City seemed to become unfamiliar again.
After entering the city, Zheng He went to the Prince's Mansion, and Zhu Gaoxu and others went straight back to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as I passed the screen wall, I saw Veda standing in the yard!Veda actually came back first, but he ran very fast.
Zhu Gaoxu handed the reins to the slave who came up to him, turned to Du Qianrui and said: Miss Du, let’s take a break first.
Yes, prince.Du Qianrui bent her knees slightly, and her face was also exhausted.She glanced at Veda as she walked past him and looked around.
Zhu Gaoxu walked towards him and said: General Wei will be back... Where are the people he brought?
Veda stood there with his fists, and the last general was ineffective in his work. Please punish the prince!
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt disappointed, but he didn't show it. He just said: Let's talk about it when you enter the house.
The two entered a downward room. Veda stood in the house and bent down and said, "After returning to Beijing, he lied that he was Yao Ji's hometown and went to Jiming Temple to find her."But the nun in the temple told the last general that Yao Ji was locked up!According to the nun, someone in the temple complained to the host, suing Yao Ji for not observing the precepts and having a private meeting with the man.So the presiding officer ordered the severe punishment of Yao Ji, imprisoned her and not to meet anyone.
The last general asked again, when will it be released?The nun said it was not that easy and there was no fixed number.The last general did not dare to be Hu Wei in the capital, and had no choice but to come back and report first.
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a long time and said: I understand.This is not the fault of General Wei. When did you come to Peking?
Veda said: I will reply to the prince and I will arrive in the morning.
Go back and rest.This time, we will die forever, and I will definitely ask for me in front of my father.Zhu Gaoxu said.
The most dangerous one is the prince.When the last general saw the prince come back, he felt at ease.Veda clasped his fists and said, and he would finally leave.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and watched Veda go out.
But he sat in the downward room for a long time, and suddenly felt a little disappointed and sad... Before going to the mourning hall that day, he saw Yao Ji in the yard of Jiming Temple in the afternoon.
If I had known this, I would have sent someone to find her and let her go out of the city with Zheng He, Wang Bin and others!
He was wondering for a while why he didn't do that?
The main reason was not that he felt dangerous, but that he could not be sure whether he could succeed in hiding in the coffin. At that time, he was all focused on that matter and had no time to care about Yao Ji's affairs.
At this moment, Wang Gui walked into the door and said happily: I heard that the prince is back, come and see, you are really back!
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to mention the absurdity and thrilling work anymore, so he pretended to be calm and asked in a deep voice: I've been leaving for several months, what I have left to you is done well?
Wang Gui looked back, walked up, bowed his head and whispered: I have been very careful, nothing went wrong.She was also very calm, neither trying to escape nor shouting.But... she has been suffering from cold recently, and I have grabbed a few pairs of medicine and sent it to me.
Is it serious?Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Wang Gui frowned and said: I am not sure, and I dare not find a doctor to show her.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately stood up, walked out of the door, and walked into the hall. Wang Gui quickly followed.I met Aunt Wang on the way. I haven't seen each other for a few months. Zhu Gaoxu gave her a few words casually.
Aunt Wang was about to leave, but Zhu Gaoxu called her again: In the future, Miss Du will live in the inner hall and let her serve my daily life nearby. You must come in at will without any trouble.
The prince found Miss Du back, and we were fine... Aunt Wang smiled.
Don’t think that the prince always treats you kindly, so there are no rules!Wang Gui said coldly.
Aunt Wang stopped her smile and said, "I said a few words, it's not that I don't follow the prince's words."
Zhu Gaoxu said to Wang Gui earnestly, I know that Aunt Wang is very sensible in doing things, so don’t care about her mouth.
After hearing this, Aunt Wang immediately looked relieved.
Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui entered the inner hall one by one. Seeing that there were still maids cleaning the eaves and yards, he first entered his bedroom and paced back and forth in the room.
Wang Gui bent down and whispered: Do you want to see the person in the cellar?I called out everyone in the inner hall.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: You have also agreed with the servants in the mansion that I just mentioned.
yes.Wang Gui bent down and took out a bunch of keys from his arms, then turned around and walked out.
Zhu Gaoxu walked a few steps in the room and looked into the window. Seeing that the maids had left one after another, he left the bedroom and headed straight to the back garden.
He opened the copper lock of the entrance hall from the inner hall to the back garden and walked into the garden.I found a ladder in the storage room over there, opened the door to the house at the entrance of the cellar, and walked in.
After moving the iron railing at the entrance of the cellar, Zhu Gaoxu set up the ladder and climbed inside.
Looking back on the ladder, he saw Xu Miaojin sitting up on the bed.
She covered her mouth with her hands and coughed gently twice, looking at Zhu Gaoxu.
After he got down the ladder, Xu Miaojin said: King Gaoyang, you are finally back!I haven't seen you for several months, and I don't know when you want to lock me up.
I'm sorry for you... Zhu Gaoxu looked apologetic, is it important to be sick?
Xu Miaojin was angry but weak: I stayed in this place for a long time and couldn't see the light of the sky. I was weak, but I was infected with some wind and cold. It would be better to rest for a few days.
Zhu Gaoxu walked to the bed and pulled the quilt upwards. Xu Miaojin's face suddenly turned red.
Seeing that the stove next to him was cold, he picked up flints, straw paper and other items from the table and knocked them to make a fire.While he was busy, he said without looking back. Did Wang Gui boil medicine for his aunt?
Before he heard Xu Miaojin's answer, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and saw her looking at him. When he touched his eyes, she looked elsewhere. There was a firewood stove and water here, so I could boil medicine myself.
He first saw Wang Bin's rough round face and fierce eyes, then took a long breath and quickly crawled out of the coffin.
Prince!The prince... Several people around him were surrounded by joy.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word and felt very complicated.Since the Ming Dynasty, this time is the closest to death!He didn't know whether to be grateful, surprised, or afraid.
