Jinyi champion

Chapter 109 Open and honest

In the next few days, although Zhu Hao and Jinghong stayed in the palace, they could only go to the academy to study alone. Zhu San, Zhu Si and Lu Bing did not appear again.

There is no husband to take care of him, a posture of letting go, going to the cafeteria by himself at noon to eat, no one cares whether he comes in the afternoon, and going back to the dormitory to sleep at night, he can still go out of the palace freely, no one follows, but it is troublesome when he comes back at night, from time to time He was blackmailed by the night guard at the gate...

Even Jinghong saw that the problem was wrong: "Zhu Hao, does the palace not plan to keep us?"

It was the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Did you just see it?"

The huge school dormitory seemed extremely empty.

The blackboard was hanging there, and it was deserted. With fewer people, it felt extraordinarily cold.

Jinghong tightened his heavy winter clothes, and sighed: "I didn't expect to leave the palace so soon, but if we go together, I will feel better. Maybe my father won't be too disappointed with me...you If there is no place to study... I can ask my father to let you come to the county government to study with me."

Zhu Hao looked at Jinghong with admiration.

Before Jinghong showed his intention to compete with him, he did not expect to think about his opponent and wanted to help his opponent regain the opportunity to study.

"It's better to take care of yourself. Take advantage of the few days before the end of the year to enjoy our last time as classmates." After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he took out a book solemnly, covered his head... and fell asleep.

……

……

Twelfth lunar month twenty-one.

The palace is ready to send the two companions away, and Lu Song personally comes to inform Zhu Hao and Jinghong that they can go home for the New Year.

Jinghong tidied up his belongings in a muffled voice. After spending half a year in the palace, he overcame his unaccustomed habits, and now he feels a little bit reluctant.

After all, in the palace, he has gained a lot. He has friends and competitors. Even if he is usually entertained by Zhu San, he still cherishes these few friends who can share the same joys and sorrows with him.

"Zhu Hao, come with me, I'll take you somewhere." Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao again.

"where to?"

The words Zhu Hao asked showed that he was magnanimous and unguarded. Lu Song had already turned around, but he couldn't help but glance back when he heard the words.

This kid, don't you know that there are some things to avoid Jinghong?You are real.

"You'll know when you arrive."

Lu Song said nothing, and went to wait in the yard first.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Hao came out and followed Lu Song without saying a word. Lu Song asked curiously, "Can't you guess everything? Do you know where I'm going to take you?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "I'm not the roundworm in your stomach, why do you know everything? It's just going to meet someone, you won't find a place to kill me, and then dig a hole and bury it on the spot?"

Lu Song gave Zhu Hao an angry look, "I'll take you to see Yuan Changshi."

Before leaving, Zhu Hao felt that Yuan Zonggao had no good intentions. This time, he was probably defrauding him by acting like an old fox, intending to get the last news from him.

……

……

Did not go to the inner courtyard of the palace, but went to the east courtyard.

Arriving at the place where Zhu Hao lived before, the yard has been repaired under the concerted efforts of the craftsmen, but the inside is no longer a warehouse, and there are some wooden shelves for some reason.

Yuan Zonggao stood there, looking at the decorations in the yard, waiting quietly for Zhu Hao to arrive.

"Yuan Changshi, brought by Zhu Hao." Lu Song saluted.

Zhu Hao stepped forward and bowed to greet Yuan Zonggao. At this moment, Yuan Zonggao turned around. Uncharacteristically, the old fox didn't have a smile on his face.

Yuan Zonggao said earnestly: "Zhu Hao, are you familiar with this place?"

Zhu Hao thought to himself, I've lived here before, isn't your question nonsense?Old fox, you still like going around in circles so much.

"Yes." Zhu Hao nodded.

Yuan Zonggao said: "After the palace caught fire, the place was almost burnt to nothingness. Now it has been roughly restored, but the courtyard is a bit unlucky, and it can no longer be inhabited, so it can only be left vacant...Zhu Hao, do you know how the fire started?"

There was a hint of probing in the words, but Zhu Hao didn't evade at all: "I don't know."

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "Do you not know, or dare not say?"

Lu Song shouted coldly: "If you ask me something, just tell me straight!"

Zhu Haodao: "It is said that Jianmaozhen set the fire, but I think Jianmaozhen has a bad heart, but he is very stupid, easy to be used by others, setting fires in broad daylight... It's not like his style, but He wants to kill me, but I can see it clearly."

Lu Song was surprised by this answer at first, and then quickly observed Yuan Zonggao's reaction after regaining consciousness, and found that Yuan Zonggao's face was also a little stagnant.

A seven-year-old sees people accurately...

It's just a matter of observation.

Yuan Zonggao looked astonished for only a moment, and then he changed his tone and asked: "Jian Maozhen was later sentenced to exile, but the palace sent someone to ask him, he refused to admit that he set the fire, and he said repeatedly that he was wronged. , and said... this fire may have something to do with you..."

Zhu Hao said: "Does he want to say that I set the fire on purpose to wrong him?"

Yuan Zonggao smiled, but did not answer directly.

Lu Song sternly said, "Is that fire related to you?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Yuan Changshi, I'm just a child. I was pressed by the family every step of the way and had to enter the palace. I wanted to have a chance to study. Although I was threatened by the family, I didn't reveal the secrets that should not be passed on in the palace. Even if I want to sabotage...wouldn't it be good for me to burn other places? Why burn the place where I live?"

Yuan Zonggao saw that Zhu Hao's mood was already aroused, thinking that the plot had succeeded, he said with a smile: "No one suspects you, you have seen your bravery in saving people from the fire, but the fourth prince just happened to appear here, it is too coincidental. "

Zhu Hao said: "Fourth prince? Isn't he the eldest son?"

"Ok?"

Yuan Zonggao was speechless for a while.

"Yuan Changshi, I have been with the princess and the prince for nearly half a year. If I still can't tell their identities... am I too ignorant of the world? But I have nothing to hide. Knowing is knowing. Before entering the palace, I know their real identities." Zhu Hao said.

Yuan Zonggao looked stern, no longer the cunning of the old fox before, and asked sharply: "What did you say?"

Zhu Haodao: "I said before that before entering the palace, the princess brought the prince to meet me, and wanted to buy rabbits from me. The prince even called the princess 'Third Sister', but after I entered the palace, he said Changed my name to Third Brother, I rescued people from the fire scene, and those who came to investigate the situation, including Zhang Fengzheng, directly called him 'Elder Son'. And the family also told me that King Xing has only one son, and that is the eldest son."

Yuan Zonggao originally thought that Zhu Hao had some bad intentions, so he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly after hearing this.

The relationship has been revealed for a long time. The palace is acting up and down, and Zhu Hao is just cooperating with the acting?This kid...how deep is his scheming?
"But Yuan Changshi, don't worry, I have never mentioned the identity of the princess and the son to my family, and I have not even revealed a word in front of Jinghong. I came to the palace to study. If the palace doesn't need me, Let me leave, I can leave at any time... I am planning to go on a study tour abroad, so that I can avoid being used again by the Zhu family, and the affairs of the palace will have nothing to do with me in the future."

"As for the fire, it really has nothing to do with me. I am wronged that my mouth grows on other people, and I can't stop it if I want to, but I just want to make a point. If I have a conspiracy and set the fire, why do I have to go into the fire to rescue it?" People? Are you looking for death?"

Zhu Hao was quite "sincere". When he was about to leave the palace, he was "open and honest" in front of the old fox Yuan Zonggao.

Yuan Zonggao looked at Lu Song and found that Lu Song was also looking at him.

After the two looked at each other, they seemed to have let go of their final wariness towards Zhu Hao. There are indeed many things that don't make sense. Just because Zhu Hao "risked his death" to save the prince from the fire scene is a great contribution, even if he is not a sharp hair It can only be someone else who set the fire, or as Zhu Houcong said, he accidentally caught fire while playing the lantern.

……

……

Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Hao with a smile, nodded and said, "With your intelligence, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. No wonder Tang Bohu chose you to be his disciple."

Zhu Hao said: "Yuan Changshi, I'm leaving the palace soon, am I?"

Yuan Zonggao smiled, but did not answer.

"If I leave, can the palace hide it for me for a few days? I want to let the Zhu family know the news after I leave Anlu with my family... I am afraid that I will be arrested by the family and use me to blackmail my mother. Not to mention studying, you don't even have the right to go out freely." Zhu Hao looked earnest.

Yuan Zonggao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Yuan Changshi for his teaching. Even if I study abroad in the future, I will never forget this experience in the palace. If I have the opportunity... I will definitely repay you. Then Yuan Changshi , I'll go back and pack my things."

Yuan Zonggao raised his hand: "Don't leave in a hurry, I have something to ask you."

Zhu Hao made a gesture of all ears.

Yuan Zonggao said: "Can you tell me why Tang Bohu let you into the Xing Palace? Just to let you study?"

Zhu Haodao: "Yuan Changshi is talking about Mr. Lu, right? He said that Anlu has a hidden dragon, which will surely leap to the sky in the future and bring blessings to the world... I think the dragon he mentioned is the son of the world, right?" ?”

Hearing Zhu Hao's words, Yuan Zonggao couldn't help showing joy no matter how forbearing he was.

This ass...

The photo was taken of Prince Xing's Mansion, but Yuan Zonggao felt very relieved when he heard it.

"Zhu Hao, you know the way, go back on your own, the old man has something to tell Lu Dianzhan." Yuan Zonggao surprisingly didn't let Lu Song send Zhu Hao back.

Zhu Hao retired after saluting.

After Zhu Hao left, Lu Song looked at Yuan Zonggao puzzledly: "Yuan Changshi, don't you think that the fire is really related to Zhu Hao?"

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether it's related or not? His heart is for Xing Wang's mansion, but this old man can see clearly. After talking with him, he even felt a little reluctant to send him out of the palace and wanted to keep him... ... Such a genius is really rare in the world."

Lu Song became nervous, thinking, could this be Zhu Hao's goal?Just to win Yuan Zonggao's trust by saying some high-sounding words?Beat around the bush and want to stay in the palace?

"That……"

"Still not staying!"

Yuan Zonggao shook his head and sighed, "In troubled times, one more thing is worse than one less thing. I also let him leave Anlu with his family. If there is any need for help, the palace can help... Just try to help. He left Anlu, It might be a good thing for the palace."
