Gao Chi of the Ming River

November 1391 AD.

Today, late at night.

Xu House.

Xu Huizu hurriedly walked towards the south courtyard, and said coldly as he walked, "Second master is sick, why don't you find a doctor?! If there is something wrong with second master! You slaves don't even think about surviving!"

The people behind them lowered their heads, and responded obsequiously. The moonlight passed by, reflecting the strange smiles on the corners of the mouths of the people behind them.

When Xu Huizu pushed open the gate of the south courtyard and walked in, he saw the person who was supposed to be resting on the bed smiling, standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Xu Huizu was startled, then his expression changed, and he turned around quickly, only to see that several people behind him had closed the door and surrounded him with big knives in their hands. Xu Huizu clenched his hands into fists, turned around and said angrily, "Xu Zengshou, you—"

Xu Zengshou stepped forward slowly, and said with a smile, "Brother, you just want to have a good rest in the south courtyard."

Xu Huizu was furious, and sneered again and again, "Xu Zengshou, what do you want to do? Could it be that you want to be an insider for your master, and use the glory of our Xu family ancestors to pave the way for your wealth and glory?!"

Xu Zengshou paused, put away the smile on his face, and said calmly, "Brother, you can say whatever you want. We are just our own masters!"

But Xu Huizu roared angrily, "Everyone is their master?! The King of Yan is just a wolf-hearted man who intends to usurp the throne! Such a rebellious minister and traitor, everyone will punish him! But you want to work for him?!"

Xu Zengshou continued to walk slowly towards the gate with a calm expression, but when he opened the gate, he said in an erratic voice, "Brother, third sister... was killed by Zhang Shi's daughter..."

Xu Huizu's roar stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at Xu Zengshou's figure standing at the gate. Only now did he realize that that figure was actually a whole circle thinner than before he was confinement...

"Zengshou..." Xu Huizu was stunned for a while, and then said hoarsely, "You said... what happened to Third Sister?"

"Dead." Xu Zengshou looked up at the deep night sky, his face was flickering in the dim moonlight, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. He just listened to the light voice and said slowly, "Huang Zicheng set up a trap and ordered Zhang Shi to commit suicide." , Zhang Shi wrote a blood letter to his daughter, ordering his daughter to kill the prince, and the third sister wanted to save the prince, but in the end..." Xu Zengshou did not continue.

Xu Huizu stared blankly at Xu Zengshou, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and said angrily, "That was also forced by the King of Yan! If the King of Yan kept himself safe, how could this disaster happen?!"

"Brother!" Xu Zengshou suddenly raised his voice, interrupted Xu Huizu's unfinished words, slowly turned his head, stared at Xu Huizu, and paused every word, "In Xu's mansion, there are only you and me left..."

Xu Huizu was startled.

After Xu Zengshou finished speaking, he took a deep look at Xu Huizu, and turned around without hesitation!

Xu Huizu regained his composure and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the men with knives, Xu Huizu shouted angrily, "Xu Zengshou!! If you do something that insults our Xu family, I will treat you as a younger brother! Did you hear that?! Xu Zengshou! Come back! Come back!!”

Xu Zengshou strode forward with a firm expression, but he seemed to have never heard the angry screams behind him.

No matter what, he will never let the Xu family lose anyone again!

So, big brother!Even if you are infamous, even if you are expelled from the Xu Mansion, even if you don't recognize me as a younger brother, even... even if you die on the streets of Nanjing tonight, I will not let anything happen to you!

All right, stay in Xu Mansion well.

As long as, as long as King Yan succeeds, as long as the son is still alive, he will definitely protect your life!Protect our Xu family!

Three sisters!May you be the spirit in the sky, bless my Xu mansion!

***********

Zhu Yunwen stared blankly at the sound of killing outside, the smoke of war was everywhere, his heart trembled, he was surprised, fearful, what's going on? !

Isn't Yan Wang in Peiping? !

How...how did it suddenly appear here? !

"Your Majesty!" Huang Zicheng staggered towards him, trying to stay calm, but his voice was still trembling with anger and panic, "Your Majesty! Go quickly! Let Jinyi Yexing protect you and leave!"

But Zhu Yunqi came back to his senses, grabbed Huang Zicheng's hand violently, and gritted his teeth, "What the hell is going on?!"

A trace of despair flashed across Huang Zicheng's face, "Your Majesty...we have all been tricked!"

Zhu Yunwen stared blankly at Huang Zicheng, and after a while, he said with a trembling voice, "What do you mean by that?!"

"Your Majesty, that King Yan is just pretending! Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, is not dead! Everything is a trick!! Your Majesty!" Huang Zicheng shouted loudly, his voice full of despair and grief.

Zhu Yunwen staggered two steps back, his face was pale, but finally he murmured sadly, "So...are you falling into the trap? Did I...lose?!" In the end, she was a little dazed.

Huang Zicheng grabbed Zhu Yunqi violently, and said sharply, "No! Your Majesty! As long as you are still alive! You will never lose! Your Majesty, go!"

After Huang Zicheng finished speaking, he pushed Zhu Yunqi violently!

***********

And this day.

Zhu Gaochi, who was still recuperating in Songzhuyuan, sat on a chair in the yard on this day, looking at the letter in his hand intently. Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, he came back to his senses, put down the letter in his hand, and turned his head to look. Seeing that King Zhou was wearing armor, the armor was stained with blood. Although his expression was tired, he had an excited smile on his face.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully, "Fifth Uncle!"

"Little Gao Chi, your Fifth Uncle has great news to tell you!" King Zhou said mysteriously, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy.

Zhu Gaochi's heart skipped a beat. He stared at King Zhou, feeling nervous. Could it be... Father?

"But, my father won?" Zhu Gaochi suppressed the tension in his heart and asked in a low voice.

King Zhou raised his eyebrows and gave a weird laugh, "Is it true that father and son are of the same heart?" Then he said excitedly, "Xiao Gaochi, you are right! Your father, my fourth brother, has entered Nanjing!!"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned, then he frowned, and smiled broadly, Dad...he won!

"Little Gao Chi, your Fifth Uncle has something to trouble you for." Zhou Wang suddenly changed his expression and said seriously.

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses, looked at the serious and dignified King Zhou in front of him, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then he smiled gently, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Wu, please tell me, as long as Gao Chi can do it, he will definitely help Uncle Wu!"

"Give Yunwen his life!"

*********

Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse and walked slowly on the streets of Nanjing.

While scanning the streets on both sides.

At this time, it has been two days since they entered Nanjing.

Although there is still a feeling of cautious bleakness, the shops and stores have recovered one after another.

If there is no father to make a decisive decision, as soon as he enters Nanjing, he will immediately attack the four gates. In addition to the layout of the second uncle before, Nanjing's soldiers and horses will be replaced by his own people. I am afraid that this Nanjing will also have a lot of vitality Hurt.

I am afraid that normal order will not be restored so quickly.

However, how many soldiers and horses does the father have in the dark?

When did it start to control the Nanjing Bingma Division?

Zhu Gaoxu reined in the horse's head, looked up at the mansion in front of him - Xu Mansion.

That's it!

It's better not to be curious about these things.

Zhu Gaoxu thought casually.

Get off the horse, enter the Xu mansion, and under the guidance of the butler, enter the courtyard.

From a distance, you can smell the smell of medicine.Zhu Gaoxu frowned, it seems that the second uncle's injury is not serious.

That night, the second uncle seemed desperate, if not for the second uncle's desperate efforts and leading the way, I am afraid that he would not have entered the imperial city so quickly.

"Uncle?" Zhu Gaoxu entered the courtyard, and when he saw Xu Huizu staring at him coldly with a stinky face, he subconsciously froze for a moment, and then called out in a low voice.

Xu Huizu snorted coldly, picked up the medicine bowl and turned to leave. When he left, he couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Don't dare!"

Zhu Gaoxu's expression turned cold, he didn't have the good temper of his elder brother!

But Xu Zengshou on the bed struggled to get up, "Second, Second Young Master..."

When Zhu Gaoxu saw it, he hurried over, frowned and supported him, "Second Uncle, your injury is still not healed, you should lie down."

Xu Zengshou smiled weakly and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, he is in a bad mood, so don't argue with him."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Xu Zengshou, who was very respectful and cautious, and felt a little puzzled. Although his father and king have won the world now, but the second uncle is also a great hero, so why should he be so humble?Even... It feels a bit like flattering yourself?

"Second Uncle, don't worry, Gao Xu won't." Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled, but still comforted him.

Xu Zengshou breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know... but the prince has come to Nanjing?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, "This morning, my father just received an urgent report. Both Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan have been defeated and captured. Now, they are escorted to Nanjing with the frame of the eldest brother."

Xu Zengshou nodded slowly, thought for a while, and then smiled, "That's good. It's good that the son is in good health."

After chatting a few more words, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and said goodbye.

When he left, he saw Xu Huizu holding a plate, his face was still very gloomy, and he just snorted coldly when he saw himself, then turned and went into Xu Zengshou's room.

Zhu Gaoxu's expression sank, this uncle must be too arrogant!

He is Zhu Yunqi's diehard loyalist!If it wasn't for the sake of the concubine and the second uncle, the father would have already beheaded like those stubborn old men! !

Maybe, he will end up like Huang Zicheng - dish punishment!

**********

Left the Xu Mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu rode on horseback, and soon passed two streets, far away, he saw a mansion in front of which was tightly guarded.

The plaque on the mansion reads two big words: Fangfu.

Zhu Gaoxu paused in front of Fang's mansion, thinking of yesterday, Fang Xiaoru who was about to be beheaded was suddenly pardoned? !

And the reason... is a letter from yesterday...

He didn't see the contents of the letter, but when he took a sneak peek, he saw very familiar handwriting on the letter... Is it his elder brother?

Then, his father's expression of gritting his teeth sullenly confirmed this idea even more.

After reading the contents of the letter, his father gritted his teeth and said—"Rao Fang Xiaoru is not dead!"

Taking a look at Fang's mansion, Zhu Gaoxu continued to ride his horse forward, he was really curious, what did his elder brother say to let his father spare the stubborn Fang Xiaoru?

You know, Fang Xiaoru didn't kneel down when he saw his father who came to the door in person. Instead, he sneered, sat on the firewood pile by himself, and said lazily to his father, "Fang Xiaoru can finally come to the house today." Righteousness and righteousness are in your heart!"

How could his father spare such an arrogant and disdainful person?

The most important point is that at that time his father entered the Fang Mansion with a murderous look!

The people who had a good relationship with Zhang Shi, except for Fang Xiaoru, were all dead!

After all, what did his elder brother write?

***********

At this time, it was in the Fengxian Hall in the Imperial City of Nanjing.

Zhu Di stared gloomily at the letter on the table, it was very short, one sentence, eleven words.

If Fang Xiaoru dies, his son will not enter Nanjing!

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, thinking bitterly:

Brat!

Little meat bun!

Is Fang Xiaoru really so important? !

More important than your father and me? !
