Jinyi Night Walk

"Gao Chi, the three of you brothers live here. The courtyard has just been swept and the bedding has been replaced with new ones."

Xu Huizu brought the three Zhu Gaochi brothers to their residence and said calmly.

The scenery here is beautiful, the flowers and trees are sparse, the pavilions are elegant, and there is a pool of spring water in front of the two-story pavilion. The fish swim up and down in the water, which is a good place to go.It's just that Xu Huizu's face was a bit cold, the three nephews came, and his relatives came to visit from afar, and they were relatives whom he hadn't seen for many years. Xu Huizu couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to, so he could only draw a clear line in his attitude.

Zhu Gaochi has a kind personality, he knows what his uncle is in trouble for, seeing his attitude is extremely cold, but he is not annoyed, he just bowed his body and said respectfully: "Brother Gaochi, you have disturbed uncle."

Xu Huizu said indifferently: "What are the polite words of the family? Well, you wash up and rest first. I have already ordered the mansion to prepare a dinner for you, but unfortunately, tonight uncle and several adults in the court If you make an appointment to drink together, I won't accompany you. You should be quiet at home, and just wait for the tomb of the late emperor to visit Xiaoling's tomb on the day of the death of the late emperor. Don't make troubles. Gao Chi, you are the elder brother, you must take good care of your younger brother us."

"Yes, Gao Chi must obey uncle's orders."

Xu Huizu hummed and left in a hurry.

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Brother, look..."

Zhu Gaochi stared at him, stopped his words, and said in a deep voice: "When I went to Beijing, what did your father tell you, have you forgotten?"

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "That's all! You are the only one who can endure his uselessness."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head. Seeing that Xia Xun had made arrangements and the guards were rushing over, he stepped forward to meet him. Xia Xun clasped his fists and said, "My lord, everything has been arranged here. The three princes wash and rest first, then turn around... the three of you." If the prince is going out to play, please inform the minister in advance, so that the minister can make some arrangements." Jinyi Yexing, committed to providing a typo-free version update——

Zhu Gaosui couldn't help roaring angrily: "Damn it, did we come to Jinling as prisoners, and you have to watch when we go in and out?"

"Shut up Gao Sui!"

Zhu Gaochi stopped the third younger brother sharply, pulled Xia Xun, walked away, lowered his voice, and apologized to him: "The second younger brother and the third younger brother are rude and reckless, and my father was worried about their mistakes, so I didn't report the matter of Lord Yang." Tell them, they speak lightly and seriously, please don't blame adults.~"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "No, the prince can just stay in Jinling with peace of mind. Since I have been entrusted by His Highness King Yan, I will definitely find a way to send His Highness back to Peiping safely."

Zhu Gaochi said gratefully: "Your Excellency Yang is so gracious and virtuous, the Yan Palace never forgets. But..."

He hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "If you have to, you still can't take the risk. It's not because Gao Chi doesn't believe Master Yang's arrangement, it's really..."

Xia Xun smiled lightly, nodded and said, "I understand!"

Zhu Gaochi's "if it is a last resort", he means that unless he goes through various efforts, it is impossible to go back through normal channels. Only when the three of them brothers can leave.

Because the three of them came to Nanjing originally to paralyze Zhu Yunqi and buy time for their father and king. If they escaped before the time came, then it would not have been used at all.But this will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Xia Xun's task.

When they came to Nanjing, they were supposed to be closely monitored by the imperial court, and the Jinyiwei who were responsible for "protecting" them might not all be under Xia Xun's control.Once the time comes when Emperor Jianwen Tuqiongdagger appears, the three of them will become an important bargaining chip for Nanjing against Beiping, and the monitoring will inevitably be stricter.

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, seeing Xia Xun's calm and confident appearance, he couldn't help secretly becoming curious: "From Nanjing to Beiping, the whole road is full of imperial power. If you don't get the emperor's favor Sure, if you want to go back to Peiping, you must have wings, but judging by his appearance, he seems to be fully prepared?" Jinyi Yexing, committed to providing an update without typos——

"Haha, are Chi'er, Xu'er and Sui'er here? Where are my three good nephews?"

Following the sound, Xu Zengzhang, who was wearing a first-rank military officer uniform, rushed into the courtyard like the unicorn embroidered on the mending uniform on his chest. When he entered the courtyard, he ran into two brothers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui. Xu Zengtang left Looking to the right, he said with great joy: "You must be the second and third children, ho! Look at this guy, you are so tall at such a young age, which one of you is Gao Xu and which one is Gao Sui?"

Before the two brothers could answer, Zhu Gaochi had already taken a step forward, his whole body trembling with fat during the running.Zhu Gaochi bent down his big belly with difficulty, and said respectfully: "Nephew Gaochi, I have met my third uncle."

When Xu Zengtang saw it, he couldn't help exclaiming: "My grandma, you...you are Gao Chi? Gao Chi, when I was a child, when my uncle hugged you, he said you were too fat, and told you to eat less in the future. It’s only been a few years since I saw you, look at you, this looks even more amazing!”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui listened aside and couldn't help snickering.Xia Xun couldn't help showing a slight smile on his face. Just now he watched Xu Huizu's attitude towards his three nephews with cold eyes, Xia Xun couldn't help but secretly grimace.

But at this moment, seeing Xu Zengzhen not avoiding suspicion, and excitedly rushing back from the five-army governor's mansion as soon as he heard that his nephew had arrived, Xia Xun also felt warm in his heart. After all, people in this world are not all mercenary.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The night was getting dark, and Xu Zengtang, who was belching and reeking of alcohol, had just sent his three nephews back to his room to rest.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Huizu even refused to eat the first meal with his three nephews at his home, but the third Xu Zengtang didn't care about it. He accompanied the three nephews and called out his son and nephew. In the evening, the family had a good drink.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are not very old, but they are also good wine drinkers, but the family rules are very strict at ordinary times, and they can only drink a little secretly occasionally, but now there is such an incomprehensible uncle who instigates them, and they don't listen to the dissuasion of the elder brother at all. He was so drunk that he was finally carried back.

But the boss Zhu Gaochi, his alcohol capacity is actually very good, although he drinks very moderately, but under the persuasion of his uncle and a group of cousins ​​in the Zhongshan Palace, he did not drink less this night, but when he walked back to the bedroom, still It is stable and steady, without changing face.

"Yang Xu, you have to take care of my three nephews for me, and you can't let them have the kind of messy things that happened to his father in Jinling. If anything happens to them, I'm the only one It's asking!"

Xu Zengzhen sent the elder nephew back, and when he walked to the moon gate, he saw Xia Xun guarding there, so he stopped and told Xia Xun seriously.In the lawsuit between Xia Xun and the Yang family, Huang Zicheng, the emperor's grandson's teacher, was also involved. Xu Zengzhen helped Xia Xun a lot at that time.Because of this relationship, Xu Zengtang did not regard Xia Xun as an outsider.

Xia Xun leaned forward and said, "Major governor, please rest assured that the humble officer will take good care of the three princes and never let them get hurt."

"Ok!"

Xu Zengzhen nodded, and said a few pointed words through his drunkenness: "I know, if some people want to harm my three nephews, you can't control them if you want to. Do your best, what's the point?" It's embarrassing, and it's not easy for you to do anything, I hope you can tell me that they are my own nephews, if something happens under my nose, I will be ashamed to see my eldest sister in this life."

Xia Xun's heart felt hot, and he leaned forward and said, "Yes, I know about it. I know about it. I have one more thing to report to the governor."

"Huh?" Jinyi Yexing, committed to providing typo-free version updates——

The drunkenness in Xu Zengzhen's eyes swept away, and he asked solemnly, "What's the matter?"

Xia Xun originally wanted to keep this secret in his heart, and it would not be too late to tell it when King Yan and Emperor Jianwen broke up publicly, but seeing that Xu Zengzhen is a very family-friendly person, he is not like his elder brother who is a cold-blooded politician who only cares about gains and losses , Xia Xun was moved in his heart, and finally told the secret hidden in his heart: "The little princess is safe and sound now, the governor should not be too concerned."

Xu Zengtang grabbed his shoulder and said with joy, "What did you say? Have you seen my little girl? Where is she? Is everything all right?"

Xia Xun said: "A few days ago, I went to Beiping to investigate the illegal affairs of Jinyiwei's subordinates. On the way, I happened to meet the princess. At that time, I planned to send the princess back, but the princess refused. I had no choice but to take her with me. We went to Peking together."

Xu Zengzhen was stunned, let go and said, "So, she is at the eldest sister's house now?"

Xia Xun shook his head and said, "No, now Yan Wang's mansion is the target of public criticism. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Yan Wang's mansion. The princess is worried that her appearance in Yan Wang's mansion will cause inconvenience to Yan Wang and Yan Wang's concubine. I didn’t get in touch with Yanwang’s mansion, but I was arranged by the humble official to live in a wealthy businessman’s house for the time being.”

Xu Zengzhen murmured: "Little sister has grown up and is sensible..."

Xu Zengzhen sighed for a moment, then glared again, grabbed Xia Xun's shoulder and cursed: "How many days have you been back to Jinling for your motherfucker, why didn't you say it until now?"

Xia Xun said helplessly: "The matter is of great importance. If I hadn't seen the appearance of the governor's true feelings today, I would not have said that I was a low-ranking officer."

Xu Zengzhen snorted, and Xia Xun said again: "Actually, the little princess also told Beizhi, she said that the third brother treats her best and spoils her the most, and after telling Beizhi to return to Nanjing, tell the governor her whereabouts, I don’t want the governor to be worried. But... please forgive me, the princess, after all, is young, these words... until I see what the governor is doing today, I still dare not say it!"
