Chapter [-] The Woman in Red

Mr. Zhu's visit to Beijing this time is very different from the last time. He was just a little sixth-rank tax official at that time, but now he is a dignified third-rank official.What's more, his third-rank power is so powerful that even the six ministers avoid him.

Before Zhu Tianxiang left Beijing, he had to make proper arrangements for both his official and private affairs.The Security Council needs someone to sit in charge, and this golden sign Zhu Tianxiang cannot be smashed while he is not around.Zhu Tianjiang originally wanted to leave Zhu Yi to preside over the government affairs of the Anchayuan, but thinking of how many dangers he would encounter along the way, he still felt relieved to bring him by his side.There was no other way, so Zhu Tianjiang had no choice but to go to the mansion of Taifu Wang Bingkun, and asked the old lady to sit in the Security Court temporarily.Taifu Wang didn't refuse. He is the inspector of the Anchayuan himself, and he should also support the government affairs of the Anchayuan when the Ancha envoy is on tour.

After arranging the business, Zhu Tianxiang secretly ordered Zhu Si to mobilize 500 people to accompany him secretly.These people were taken out of the city ahead of time by Zhu Si, and their purpose was to stand in front of Zhu Daguan.Zhu Si divided the 500 people into five teams, all pretending to be caravans delivering goods, and the distance between each team was no more than ten miles.No matter which capital Zhu Tianxiang goes to, they will enter and hide in advance.Once there is a change, it will immediately become an elite guard of 500 people to protect the safety of Zhu Tianxiang and the fourth prince.

Zhu Tianjiang didn't ask his master Lin Feng to follow him, there are so many gold, silver and jewels buried in the mansion, it would be impossible without an expert to guard them.Besides, Lin Feng was old, and Zhu Tianjiang couldn't bear to make his master suffer.

Guo Ying and Yugege learned that Zhu Tianxiang was leaving the capital, and they came to the commune the night before to say goodbye to Tianxiang tenderly.This time Zhu Tianjiang could not take them with him, because Mrs. Guo and Prince Jing disagreed.Prince Jing was afraid that his daughter would suffer along with him. Besides, Zhu Tianjiang was not a gentleman, and if something happened to him, Prince Jing would not be able to lose him.As a princess, if she becomes pregnant before she leaves the court, Prince Jing will be able to kill her head-on.

Mrs. Guo felt that it was the time of the empress dowager's funeral, and a girl who had not left the cabinet followed her on tour, which would not only violate the ancestral system, but also become someone else's handle.Zhu Tianxiang had offended so many people, once he lost his favor in front of Emperor Cheng Wu, such a small matter would become a major crime of beheading.

Everything was ready, and in the morning of the next day, Zhu Tianjiang and the fourth prince Xuanzhu led four hundred soldiers and horses, and assembled outside the city gate in mighty force.Since the disaster relief workers had gone to Hedu Mansion in advance under the protection of heavy soldiers two or three days ago, Zhu Tianxiang and the others kept their cars light and simple, only two large and comfortable carriages followed.

Last time when I left the city, I had to walk around the palace, but this time it was different. On behalf of the emperor, the Minister of Rites led all the civil and military officials out of the city to see them off.

Zhu Tianjiang looked at the officials who were seeing him off with a smile, stood on the car and cupped his hands and said, "As a minister, I am grateful to send you off. Thank you very much."

The crowd echoed hypocritically, they wished that the plague god would not come back once he left.If Zhu Tianxiang really died outside, these people would have to burn incense to thank God.

Zhu Tianjiang knew in his heart that these people were ordered to see them off, and none of them were sincere, so he was simple and polite, and the large group of people started on the road.After traveling less than 500 meters, Zhu Tianjiang stuck his head out of the car curtain, ready to wave goodbye to the adults again.Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the gates of the city were completely gone, not even a shadow of a person.

"Paralyzed, what are you doing running so fast? Is my father so hated?" Zhu Tianxiang muttered depressingly.

The team traveled about thirty miles, and Zhu Tianjiang ordered people to stop at a three-way intersection.On one of the roads, a group of merchants' carriages and horses were parked.

"My lord, do you have any orders?" Wang Yi, the leader of the accompanying team, rode to Zhu Tianjiang's car and asked.

Wang Yi is a chief executive of the admiral's mansion. This time Zhu Tianjiang and the four princes went on tour, and the admiral's mansion dispatched 400 people, and Wang Yi became the leader of this team.

Zhu Tianjiang and the fourth prince got out of the car, and the two of them glanced at each other, a bay red horse ran past in the caravan on the fork road ahead.

Wang Yi was startled, and was about to give an order to stop the oncoming people from charging, but Zhu Tianjiang said, "My own man, let him come over."

Immediately, a big man grinned, "My lord, everything is ready, just waiting for you and the fourth prince."

Wang Yiqian looked at the big man who spoke in surprise. Isn't this a big cow who was judged by the Public Security Bureau.No one knew this stupid big man before, but now Daniel's reputation is not small.Throwing Prince Jing in the Zhu Mansion, and almost killing the Eldest Prince with a stick in front of the Si Yamen, such a person is not famous, that is really unreasonable.

Zhu Tianxiang nodded, and said to Wang Yi, "President Wang Qian, I ordered you to take the official car of me and the fourth prince to Dingyuan Mansion, and then divert to Hedu Mansion to meet me."

Wang Yi was startled, and immediately understood what Zhu Tianjiang meant, it seemed that they were going to leave the brigade.

"My lord, Fourth Highness, this is not acceptable. The villain is ordered to protect the safety of the adults and the Fourth Highness. If something goes wrong, the villain can't afford it." Wang Yi got off his horse and knelt on one knee and said.

"Don't worry, it will be safer to leave you alone. Remember, if officials come to offer gifts along the way, if the gift money is accepted, it will be said that the official and the fourth prince are not feeling well, and they will not see any visitors until they arrive at Hedu Mansion." Zhu Heaven ordered.

Wang Yi saw that Zhu Tianjiang was very serious, he had no right to disobey Zhu Tianjiang's order.However, Wang Yi still asked suspiciously, "My lord, since we are going to Hedu Mansion, why do we need to detour to Dingyuan Mansion? If we go this way, I'm afraid the journey will be delayed by ten days."

Zhu Tianxiang sneered, "Hmph, if you don't leave like this, I'm afraid you won't live in Hedu Mansion at all. Don't repeat yourself, remember my words, and leave with great fanfare. From now on, I will give you the power gone."

Wang Yi's heart moved, he was also Mr. Qian who had experienced the battlefield, and he immediately understood that there might be some danger in the road ahead, which made Master Zhu detour.

Wang Yi didn't dare to say anything more, since he wanted to be a substitute, he could only do his best so as not to reveal the true intentions of Master Zhu and the Fourth Prince.

Zhu Tianjiang and the fourth prince came to the merchant convoy, and the two got into the same car.The official team and the caravan team divided into two groups, giving up the direct road to Hedu, and each rushed to its own goal.

Ever since Zhu Tianjiang destroyed the prestige of the eldest prince Xuan Ming, he was always on guard against his counterattack.Not only Xuan Ming and Xuan Can's mansions, but also Zhu Er, a camp in the outskirts of Beijing, also sent people to monitor them.A few days ago, a heavy cavalry force of 5000 men suddenly left the camp in the outskirts of Beijing. The whereabouts were unknown. The person in charge of monitoring did not see this soldier return to the camp until the evening, and immediately reported the news to Zhu Er.

After analysis, Zhu Tianxiang and others felt that the road leading directly to Hedu Mansion must be very dangerous.In such a chaotic dynasty, even if the emperor came out of Beijing, someone would still dare to kill him, not to mention Xuan Ming hated him so much.Zhu Tianjiang immediately negotiated with Xuan Zhu, asking Zhu Yi and the others to leave the city ahead of time and wait at this three-way intersection.When the time comes, they will leave the brigade and transfer to Pengcheng Mansion, from where they will go to Hedu.As for the accompanying officers and soldiers, Zhu Tianjiang didn't want to send people into the tiger's mouth, so he asked them to divert to Dingyuan to attract attention.

Of course, Zhu Daguan didn't intend to let Xuan Ming go.No matter what the purpose of his army is, it has violated the taboo of military strategists.Therefore, before Zhu Tianjiang left the capital, he left a letter to be handed over to the upright Taifu Wang.Let this old minister and the emperor discuss the private transfer of troops and horses.

Zhu Tianxiang's team was less than 80 people, but they were all top players.Among them were not only Anzi who was personally trained by Lin Feng and Zhu Yi, but also twenty palace guards who were most valued by the fourth prince.

More than a dozen cars drove slowly, the first prince Xuan Ming and the second prince Xuan Can not only rejoiced in vain, but were also read a book by the honest old minister.

Mr. Zhu was away from home, so he didn't bother to ask about family affairs.The chariots and horses traveled for five days, and gradually moved away from the capital.Daguan Zhu was wearing a gentleman's uniform and a melon skin hat, and he was dressed like a landlord kid.The fourth prince changed into a scholar's uniform and became Zhu Tianxiang's master.

"Tianxiang, we have arrived at the boundary of Pengcheng. The prefect of Pengcheng has a good reputation. Shall we meet?" Xuan Zhu asked lightly, waving her folding fan.

"Fourth, reputation is fucking fake. I can't bear to see the poor people along our road. If he is really a good official, I will give him a sum of money to take good care of the people." Zhu Tianjiang looked at the people who passed by from time to time in the distance, all of them were skinny and their clothes were riddled with holes.

Xuanzhu frowned and sighed, "The Dafeng Dynasty has heavy taxes, so the treasury still can't make ends meet. Once the tax is reduced or exempted, I am afraid that the father will not be able to support so many soldiers and horses in the world."

Zhu Tianxiang smiled shamelessly, and didn't argue with Xuanzhu.There were soldiers and horses stationed in all the capitals of the Dafeng Dynasty, but when there was a real war, these people were simply a bunch of waste.But for the officials of the capital, these soldiers and horses are their minions to oppress the people.

There were still two days before entering Pengcheng Mansion, the convoy stopped to prepare to have lunch before moving on.The place is remote, and there is no inn to find, so Zhu Yi and the others can only bury their pots and cook.

Everyone was eating deliciously, and saw another team of horses and horses coming from behind.There were only three dilapidated carts in this team, and one of them had a sign with the words 'Hongjiaban' written on it.

Zhu Yi took a vigilant look, "Master, he's a juggler."

After leaving the capital, Zhu Tianjiang asked them to change their tune and call themselves 'Young Master' and Xuan Zhu 'Master'.

Zhu Tianxiang nodded. He thought it was a troupe from the past, but he didn't expect the troupe to stop.

A man in his forties came over, "I'm the class leader of Hong's family, who is the owner of the team?"

Zhu Tianxiang stood up suspiciously, while he was standing, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others seemed to be casually scattered around Zhu Tianxiang.

"I am, what's the matter?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at the other party and said.

"Oh, I'm being polite, I don't know how to address you." The class leader Hong asked politely.

"This is my Young Master Zhu." Zhu Yi replied.

Leader Hong clasped his fists and bowed, "Master Zhu, I want to discuss something with you. We want to buy some food from you to make ends meet. I wonder if Master Zhu can be kind to you. When we passed by Ma Town two days ago, we missed the sale. Liang, I'm afraid it will take two days to reach Pengcheng, and there are still many children in the team, and the little old man is out of help." Leader Hong smiled awkwardly.

Zhu Tianjiang looked at the expectant eyes on the taxis not far away, and felt that it was really not easy for these wanderers.

"Leader Hong, let your people come over and eat together. As for the food, let's talk after eating." Zhu Tianxiang said generously.

"Forget it, let's just buy some and spend these two days." Leader Hong looked at the wine and meat on the small table, and couldn't help swallowing.

Xuanzhu smiled, "Leader Hong, don't ask you to take money, let's make friends when you go out."

When Leader Hong heard this, he bowed gratefully, "Thank you guys~Thank you~!"

He was afraid that Zhu Tianxiang would collect the money just now, for them, he couldn't afford it at all.

A group of men, women and children came running over. Leader Hong was very polite, he didn't let everyone eat vegetables, they were only allowed to dig some rice.

The fourth prince's eyes, however, have been staring at a woman in red.The woman also felt Xuanzhu's gaze, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Zhu Tianjiang saw it in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, did you fall in love with her? This girl is really pure, and she will definitely be fresh after a few days of care."

"Fuck you, shameless bastard. I think it's not easy for such a thin girl to follow her into the rivers and lakes." The fourth prince gave Zhu Tianjiang a glare.

Zhu Tianjiang was just joking, and didn't take it seriously.After the meal, the fourth prince gave the Hong family class four bags of food for free.Team leader Hong was so moved that he led everyone to bow vigorously.Before leaving, the woman in red gave Xuan Zhu a grateful look.With just this one glance, Xuan Zhu stood there for a long time in a daze.

The horses and chariots of the Hong family class were not so leisurely, they loaded up the food and began to rush desperately.After Zhu Tianjiang and the others had finished cooking and eating again, the Hong family class had long since disappeared.

Two days later, Zhu Tianjiang and his party finally arrived in Pengcheng.Once entering Pengcheng, the situation was much better than what I saw on the road, and it was relatively prosperous.

As the convoy was going, there was a commotion ahead.Zhu Tianjiang and the fourth prince got off the carriage and saw a group of officers and soldiers arresting people.

"Huh~! Isn't that from Hong's class?" Xuan Zhu said in surprise.

Needless to say, Zhu Tianjiang also saw that a group of officers and soldiers were smashing Hong's squad's outfit and pulling people into the car.As for the officers and soldiers who wanted to take away, one was Squad Leader Hong, and the other was the girl in red.

"Zhu Yi~ secretly rescued them." The fourth prince suddenly said nervously.

Zhu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Zhu Tianjiang.Zhu Daguan smiled and nodded silently.
