Chapter 40 The Three Sons of Yan Mansion
"Dang...dang...dang..."

"Beep--"

At Mao hour, when the morning bell rang, the wooden whistle also sounded in front of the Song Dynasty Duke's mansion.

When the surroundings were still hazy, Zhu Gaoxu had already assembled the Xu-zi Baihu and handed the shift bronze medal to the C-zi Baihu who came to support him.

Seeing the hundreds of households with the character C skillfully switching defenses, I thought that the surveillance by Song Guogong Palace and Ying Guogong Palace had been going on for a long time.

Such a scene reminded Zhu Gaoxu of the scene of Feng Sheng kneeling under the imperial edict last night.

"Your Highness, we can go."

The voice of Wang Jian from the [-]th Household Examination brought Zhu Gaoxu back to reality. He looked around and looked at the soldiers who were eager to break up and go home.

"Let's go home early and rest early."

Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and led the team back to Yulin Zuoweifang.

Hearing his orders, the brothers from hundreds of households with the name Xu all shouldered their spears and walked home with smiles on their faces.

In fact, for them, since Sheng Yong took office and started practicing every other day, this group of people on duty at the Duke's Mansion has become a good job.

Take the first half of the day and rest for a day and a half, so that you don’t feel too comfortable on days when you don’t need to practice.

Especially after the airborne highness Zhu Gaoxu arrived, they almost became a fixed post, and they didn't even have to go to the gymnasium, so they were naturally happy.

As for Zhu Gaoxu, like them, he felt that such an errand was really easy after getting used to it for two days.

Compared with the work pressure of [-] and [-] in the previous life, the days on duty in Habayashi Zuowei were too comfortable.

While thinking, Zhu Gaoxu and the others came to West Chang'an Street as usual and turned into Chongli Street.

As usual, Chongli Street at this time was still filled with a large number of officials rushing to go to court and on duty.

They walked in the middle of the road, while the people pouring in from Chaoyang Gate walked cautiously along the street, for fear of bumping into the officials and subordinates in the middle.

For such scenes, Zhu Gaoxu has learned to get used to it in several months of class baptism.

He took the soldiers of Xu Zi Baihu and continued on their way to Habayashi Guard. Since he did not speak, the soldiers of Habayashi Guard did not dare to speak at will. The whole team hurried on quietly and returned to Habayashi Guardou two-quarters of an hour later. .

"Assemble at four o'clock in the day after tomorrow, there must be no mistake."

"Dismiss the class!"

Without saying much, Zhu Gaoxu just informed them of the gathering time the day after tomorrow, and then turned and left without looking back.

His residence was a little outside of Song Guogong's Mansion, and he accompanied Habayashi Zuowei's brother back to Habayashi Zuoweifang, which meant that he still had to spend two-quarters of an hour walking back.

Looking at his back, Wang Jian was speechless all the way but hesitated. It was indeed the first time for him to meet a nobleman like Zhu Gaoxu who was in a high position but was approachable and abided by military regulations.

"What are you looking at? Let's break up!"

When Wang Jian came to his senses, he realized that the soldiers on the left and right did not leave immediately, but stood there, watching Zhu Gaoxu's back gradually getting smaller.

He told the soldiers around him, but even so, the soldiers were still reluctant to leave. While moving slowly, their eyes kept staring at Zhu Gaoxu's back until Zhu Gaoxu disappeared, or they walked into the alley, They just turned around and went home.

This kind of situation has never been encountered by Wang Jian in his more than ten years in the army, but he can understand the feelings of the soldiers of Xuzi Baihu.

Before walking into the alley, he also glanced at the direction Zhu Gaoxu was leaving, but at this moment Zhu Gaoxu had already gone far.

Compared with the complicated emotions of Wang Jian and others, the scene from last night kept recurring in Zhu Gaoxu's mind when he returned home.

He knew that Feng Sheng had no rebellious intentions, but he could not resist Feng Sheng's ability to do so.Not only him, but also Fu Youde.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty...

"Huh..." He breathed out, looked up at the brightening sky, went against the officials and returned home.

People walking on the road looked at Zhu Gaoxu sideways, just because his face was very young, but his figure seemed a bit tall in this era.

With this figure and his armor, even if ordinary people didn't know his rank, they could guess that he was a big shot.

Zhu Gaoxu could see from the eyes of the people that they were afraid of him, so he quickened his pace and wanted to go home early.

Two quarters of an hour passed by in a flash. After he returned home, he quickly took off his armor and weapons. After a brief maintenance, he took off his shirt and fell asleep shirtless.

In his sleep, Zhu Gaoxu dreamed of the scene last night, but all the owners in that scene had changed.

He became Feng Sheng, kneeling on the ground like a bereaved dog, and in front of him was a little eunuch whose face he couldn't see clearly.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hear clearly what he was saying. Anyway, after he finished speaking, the soldiers next to him raised their swords towards him...

"Tuk tuk...Second brother!"

A sudden knock on the door pulled Zhu Gaoxu out of his sleep. He took a sharp breath and sat up, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Second brother! I'm here to see you!"

Before Zhu Gaoxu came out of his dream, he heard continuous knocks on the door and familiar shouts.

He staggered up and simply wiped the sweat with his sleeve before walking towards the courtyard door.

"two……"

Before the voice outside the door finished shouting, Zhu Gaoxu opened the door, and what appeared in front of him were two gorgeous young men, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.

The tall, fat boy was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a fair face, thick eyebrows and long eyes. He was a bit fat and about five feet five inches tall, about the same height as Zhu Gaoxu.

As for the short and thin boy next to him, he was only eleven or twelve years old. At first glance, he looked like a playboy who was raised in the mansion and had no idea about life. He was half a head shorter than Zhu Gaoxu, only five feet two three inches.

Needless to say, these two people are naturally Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of Yan, and Zhu Gaosui, the third son of Yan.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed a little overwhelmed by the arrival of these two people. He didn't even think of how to deal with these two brothers.

"Second brother, you..."

But when Zhu Gaochi saw his appearance, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch Zhu Gaoxu's forehead to see if he was sick.

But before he could touch Zhu Gaojiu's forehead, Zhu Gaojiu leaned back and subconsciously avoided this action, which made Zhu Gaochi's hand stopped in mid-air a little embarrassed.

"Second brother, your yard is nice!"

Zhu Gaosui was still a young man. Because he was favored by his father Zhu Di, he was usually a little arrogant. Therefore, without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's consent, he broke into the courtyard and looked around the courtyard.

However, Zhu Gaochi quickly returned to normal. He smiled awkwardly: "I forgot that you have grown up..."

"No, brother, come in first." Zhu Gaoxu's tone was a little stiff, which made the atmosphere between the two of them a little awkward.

"Okay..." Zhu Gaochi was very confused. He didn't know how he provoked his younger brother. The two of them were clearly joking before he fell while riding a horse last time. How come it turned out like this after falling once?
With confusion, Zhu Gaochi walked into the courtyard, and Zhu Gaoxu also closed the courtyard door.

Upon seeing this, the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion outside the gate consciously stood guard on the left and right side of the courtyard gate, while the coachman tried to move aside as much as possible, leaving enough path for pedestrians.
