Jingnan Strategy

Chapter 52 Street Fighting
"If you have nothing to do and want to come tomorrow, just call the concierge and he will let you in."

"Thank you uncle."

At dusk, with the sound of dusk drums, Zhu Gaoxu's shift duty also came to an end.

While he stood at the door waiting for the change of shift at Baihu C, he also chatted with Fu Zhong, who had a close relationship with him.

It has to be said that there are many books in Duke Ying's mansion, and many of them record in detail Fu Youde's journey from south to north, west to east and out.

Combined with Zhu Gaoxu's memories of business trips in his previous life, the two can ensure that Zhu Gaoxu has a maximum understanding of remote areas that he currently cannot reach.

With Fu Zhong's words, Zhu Gaoxu will no longer have to worry about having nowhere to go when he is resting on duty and can only practice martial arts at home.

During the conversation, the skirt armor rustled, and a [-]-year-old Baihu official walked up to Zhu Gaoxu and Fu Zhong and bowed:

"Consort, Your Highness, the shift has been checked and there are no mistakes. You can change the shift."

"Okay." After hearing that he could change his shift, Zhu Gaoxu readily handed over his shift badge and turned around to bow to Fu Zhong:
"Uncle, my nephew is leaving first. Please ask my uncle to greet the Duke on my behalf."

"Go back and rest early." Fu Zhong had a good impression of Zhu Gaoxu, who was polite and etiquette, and waved his hand to signal him to go back and rest quickly.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu bowed repeatedly, then walked down the steps of the British Palace and got on his horse.

He looked back at Fu Zhong, met his eyes, smiled at each other, and then blew the wooden whistle and returned to Yulin Zuoweifang with his brothers from the [-]th household.

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's back on the horse, Fu Zhong praised him unstintingly in front of hundreds of households named B: "This Second Highness of the Yan Mansion is probably the best among all the Highnesses."

"The prince-in-law said this, I deeply believe it..." Baihu, named C, echoed Fu Zhong, but not because of his face, but because of Zhu Gaoxu's actions over the past few days.

After all, he was often exposed to shift changes. From the perspective of soldiers from the C-shaped Baihu and other Baihu soldiers, Zhu Gaoxu did not have the temperament of a nobleman.

You can basically see him wearing armor every day when the shift changes, and even when the shift is over, he will accompany the soldiers back to Habayashi Zuoweifang.

Such behavior is unimaginable in this era. After all, many military attachés are lazy and slippery. As Zhu Gaoxu, no one will criticize him even if he does not come on duty, but he still arrives on time every day and never Doing things outside of your responsibilities.

In the eyes of talented military attaches, it is not easy for Zhu Gaoxu, a future prince of the county, to be able to do this.

It's just that for Zhu Gaoxu, their compliments didn't seem to be anything worthy of praise.

In his previous life, he had to face a group of connected people and lazy people every day. He had long been accustomed to cleaning the butts of those lazy connected people while doing his own duties.

In comparison, now he only has to bear his own responsibility, which is not very comfortable.

Therefore, on the way back to Yulin Zuoweifang, Zhu Gaoxu asked Wang Jian to buy twenty kilograms of beef with his own money, and planned to distribute it to the Yulin Zuowei brothers to celebrate that he had received Fu Youde's teachings.

In response to Zhu Gaoxu's actions, the brothers of Baihu, named Xu, naturally shouted that His Highness would live a thousand years longer.

However, it was this move that attracted some people who couldn't stand Zhu Gaoxu.

"Zhu Gaoxu! Do you like hanging out with a group of big-headed soldiers so much?"

On Datong Street, when an inappropriate voice came out over the cheers of soldiers from hundreds of households, the soldiers looked at the source of the sound in displeasure.

But when they saw the person who made the sound, they all lowered their heads.No one else, just because the person who made this sound was sitting in a luxurious carriage, and he himself was wearing the official uniform of the county king, and there were twenty royal guards on the left and right of the carriage.

This man was thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he looked good, there was a hint of sarcasm on his face, and he seemed to look down on Zhu Gaoxu and his group.

Zhu Gaoxu knew this person. He was Zhu Jiyi, the third legitimate son of the Jin Dynasty. He was not loved by his father Zhu and his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang because of his misbehavior.

Facing this cousin who was one year younger than him, Zhu Gaoxu was not used to it at all and rode Chi Huan directly forward.

"What do you want?!"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu approaching, Zhu Jiyi was startled and couldn't help but shrink back. After all, he was often bullied by Zhu Gaoxu when he was studying in the palace.

Not only him, but also the other clan members. Whenever they said anything that made Zhu Gaoxu uncomfortable, they would be beaten three times even if they spoke at least.

It has to be said that the predecessor Zhu Gaoxu was quite equal when it came to bullying others. No matter whether he was a future prince or a noble son, or a trafficker and a pawn, anyone who made him unhappy would be beaten. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had a bad temper. Cunning, cruel character, frivolous words and deeds.

"Keep your stinky mouth clean for me. Don't think that I don't dare to beat you because I'm wearing armor. Take off the armor and put on regular clothes and I'll beat you as usual!"

Zhu Gaojiu was not used to Zhu Jizhen at all. Perhaps it was the hidden memory of his previous life that was causing trouble. Zhu Gaoxu only felt that Zhu Jizhen was humiliating himself, and his eyes were very fierce.

"..." Zhu Jiyi didn't know if he remembered the painful experience of being taught a lesson by Zhu Gaoxu, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

But he didn’t want the palace guards to see that he was scared, so he deliberately hid in the carriage and spoke loudly:
"Some people can no longer continue acting after only a few months of acting. They are reckless..."

Zhu Jiyi wanted to continue talking, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to make a move to get off his horse.

Seeing his behavior, Zhu Jiyi immediately changed his words: "The curfew is about to begin. I don't want to be like a common man like you. Let's go!"

The last words were spoken by Zhu Jiyi to the guards of the Prince of Jin's Mansion. The soldiers of the Hundred Households with the name "Xu" saw his appearance of being strong on the outside and hard on the inside, and they couldn't help but snicker.

Their snickering made Zhu Jiyi's face turn red, but to avoid being beaten, he left dejectedly with the guards from Prince Jin's Palace.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu got on his horse and returned to Baihu's side. Wang Jian looked at the carriage leaving the Jin Palace and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness is still powerful."

Facing Wang Jian, Zhu Gaoxu did not hide it and glanced at the team in Prince Jin's Mansion with contempt:
"The tiger has eaten meat for more than ten years, and now it has only been a vegetarian for a few days, and it makes people feel weak and can be bullied."

"If I weren't afraid of delaying my brothers' return home, I would have boarded the carriage and taught this ignorant guy a lesson."

Zhu Gaojiu was indeed not afraid. After all, he was Zhu Jiyi's cousin, and Zhu Jiyi's two brothers were also somewhat afraid of Zhu Gaoxu, so he was not afraid that someone would speak up for him after he beat Zhu Jiyi.

"Thanks to His Highness, brothers can eat meat tonight."

While Wang Jian was talking and laughing, he pointed to the twenty kilograms of meat he bought next to him. When Zhu Gaoxu saw this, he didn't say anything more. He just smiled and turned to look at the brothers from the Xu family.

Seeing them snickering at the instructions from the Jin Palace team, Zhu Gaoxu also laughed:

"Let's go, don't get along with such people, go home and eat meat!"
