what to do?

Is it really impossible to get off this boat?

His eyes slowly opened, but not necessarily.

Hongli looked at the note handed over by Wu Shulai and was stunned, "What do you mean?" At this moment, Uncle Twelve was joining in the fun. Wasn't it already agreed at the beginning? The two parted ways and were no longer involved with each other. But now they use

What are you planning to do by sending yourself a letter using your previous contact information?

He frowned, but he took it anyway, slowly unfolded the note, and then ignited it, completely burning it to ashes.

Wu Shulai was a little worried: "Sir, what happened?"

I don’t know yet. The man who claimed to be Uncle Twelve’s slave only said that he had something important to discuss.

As for any important matters, I naturally wouldn't mention them in a letter that I don't know if it will be delivered to me.

Hongli lay down and went to see Huang Ama today, but he was not allowed to see him. He was very nervous and didn't know what it was like. Maybe Huang Ama had noticed it, but if he had really noticed it, why could he still be like this?

Okay. But I don’t think I’ve noticed it, but that’s not necessarily the case. I’ve been feeling like something is wrong lately.

"Don't think too much." Wu Shulai covered his master with a quilt, and then whispered: "Neither the third elder brother nor the fifth elder brother saw the face of Long Live Lord today. Even Eunuch Su didn't come out."

Everyone is treated the same, so don't think too much, people are scared out of their wits.

Hongli responded vaguely, "I'll call you earlier tomorrow..."

Wu Shulai didn't ask the reason and agreed in a low voice.

The fourth master didn't sleep well in a strange place, so he got up early. He couldn't go out today. He had to meet all the officials in Jiangnan who needed to see them. See you in the capital, and then see you in Jiangnan.

The meaning is actually different.

Su Peisheng said that when the fourth elder brother asked for an audience, the fourth master was washing his clothes without any pause. He spat out the gargle in his mouth and said, "Tell him to go with Hongshi and Hongzhou, and then take Hongsheng with him, and let's go to Yangzhou together."

Take a walk around the academy.”

It is also appropriate to send the prince to the academy to visit the master and meet with the scholars in the south. Together with the late emperor's southern tour, the former prince was often asked to do this. At that time, the literati sent letters to the prince, but now there is no prince, but the prince will

The older princes have all been sent out, and there is no discernible difference between them.

Hongli didn't think much about it, and he felt at ease. He went to Hongshi's place in person, then sent someone to call Hongzhou, and sent his nanny to call Hongsheng. The four brothers gathered together and dressed in simple casual clothes.

, traveled in a 'low-key' way.

It is said that it is low-key, but how can it really be low-key? Before I even left the hospital, the news flew out as if it had wings.

When I arrived at the academy, there were all well-dressed scholars inside and out. It is true to say that the literary style in Jiangnan was at its peak. Therefore, the ability to gain the reputation of a scholar in Jiangnan is also extremely solid. There are those who rely on their elders and sell them.

, I wish I could really be the prince's teacher, someone who understands everything when I meet him, as if I can stand up to the prince if I can pass the exam.

Hongshi was the oldest, so naturally he was the leader and everything was arranged by him. Hongli was interested in discussing knowledge with these people, such as reciting poems and writing poems. As a result, Hongzhou had to talk to them all.

Hongli was restrained and thought, you'd better stop me from composing poetry. We just need to know our own level at home, but don't throw the person outside. I really can't afford to throw that person away. Hongshi

Glancing at the two brothers, they smiled very modestly. They all adhered to the disciple etiquette towards those masters, "Huang Ama called us brothers here to be students..." The key is that the things they learned were very general.

Lu Yie doesn't know how to do it, but if you want to say that people are doing serious academic research, it's better to reject it. The same history book, the explanation given to the prince will have different emphasis from the explanation given to ordinary students.

Hongli was held down by Hongzhou, and he heard that Hongshi was being humble. He was embarrassed to listen to the boasts of this Jiangnan literati.

Some great scholars took the opportunity to sell their ideas to the prince's elder brother, and they all listened attentively. One said benevolence is good, and the other said self-restraint and propriety, the ideas are different.

Come on! This is great. We haven’t even talked about much yet, and they almost started fighting among themselves.

Hongshi acted like a peacemaker, praising this one as a good idea and then praising that other one as reasonable later.

Hongli couldn't help but glance at Hongshi, this third brother, he has been with Huang Ama a lot in the past two years, and his methods have become more sophisticated. Look! He picked these people to start a dispute. He actually became

Judge. Originally, these people wanted to treat them as students, but now, the priorities have been reversed.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, this method is what the princes should learn.

With this in mind, he picked up the tea. Wu Shulai said in a low voice: "Master, the tea is cold. I'll go get another one."

Where can I find this kind of thing? I'll ask you to do it yourself.

When he raised his head and met Wu Shulai's eyes, he understood that something was wrong with him.

After thinking about it in his mind, he finally told Hong Zhou, "I'm going to take a break..."

Hong Zhou waved his hand casually, "Go ahead, it's noisy and lively over there. It's okay." He seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.

Hongli smiled and warned, "Don't show your face. I'll come as soon as I go. Keep an eye on Hong Sheng."

Hong Zhou nodded his head like a pound of garlic, responding very readily.

When Hong Li turned around and went out, Hong Zhou glanced at the little eunuch waiting beside him and gave him a look. The other eunuch also slowly withdrew. Hong Sheng sat with his eyes and nose attentively, as if he didn't notice anything.

Same.

Hong Zhou found it interesting and touched Hong Sheng's head behind his back: "What a good boy! He has a future!"

When Hongli and Su Peisheng came out, there were many students in the verandah who wanted to come up and greet them.

Su Peisheng pointed to the stone pillar under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, "There is a gentleman asking to see you..."

Hongli had never seen this person before.

Seeing Li Hongli sit down, this middle-aged man with a sallow complexion really seemed to be asking for advice. He kept standing with his head bowed. Others didn't know what was going on, but they didn't come to disturb him.

"Fourth Brother!" Mr. Ming whispered: "I have important matters, so I can only come up with this plan to see you."

Hongli opened his fan and said, "You are from the twelfth uncle's house, how come you are here. But the twelfth uncle has changed his mind."

"This matter has nothing to do with Master." Mr. Ming didn't know how to explain this period of time, so he had to skip it and whispered: "That Yun Gu of the White Lotus Sect got artillery from foreigners and gave it to

Caobang..."

Hongli, who was about to ask this person about his background, was paused when he heard this, "How did you know?"

Mr. Ming didn't answer, he saluted, turned around and left.

Under the gaze of everyone, Hongli was unable to stop the man and could only watch him flash into the crowd and quickly disappear.

But what he said exploded in Hongli's ears.

The White Lotus Sect has artillery. No matter where the artillery comes from, the meaning of having artillery is completely different. If she can give the artillery to Caobang, she can also keep it for herself.

If she was really ambitious and took advantage of the opportunity, wouldn't all the clans that followed her this time be destroyed?

No! No!

That's not the plan!

Hongli stood up for a moment, raised his feet and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he paused again. This matter sounded very suspenseful, but he could guarantee that Yun Gu would not dare to do anything. Her purpose was always

Those people from the White Lotus Sect who were detained in prison.

As long as these people are in her hands, Yun Gu will have to obey her orders.

Hongzhou's people followed Mr. Ming halfway and then lost him. Hongzhou would not hide this matter and quietly told the fourth master, "Huang Ama... my son saw the third brother pruning the branches of fruit trees and saw where they were growing.

If you are not careful, you will cut them off right from the roots. How can you wait, and how can you wait until the newly suppressed new shoots have really grown up before you use the scissors..."

Lin Yutong heard it from inside and understood what Hong Zhou meant. He was interceding for Hong Li indirectly. Even if he dealt with it now, it would be better than him committing a serious crime.

She went out and dismissed Hong Zhou, then turned back to Fourth Master and said, "Hong Zhou probably thinks that we are a bit like fishing for law enforcement."

Whether it was fishing law enforcement or not, Fourth Master had no intention of explaining to him. He just did whatever he needed to do.

He made a special trip to Meihua Ridge to pay homage to Shi Kefa. He also gave Shi Kefa the posthumous title of Zhongzheng. He also ordered the construction of Zhongzheng Temple to highlight his character.

The trip to Yangzhou is now over.

There was no trouble, everything seemed fine. The eyes of the whole world were watching to see if the fourth master would continue to go south or go back home and prepare to return to Beijing. But the fourth master had not yet made a decision, and he was in a hurry for 800 miles.

The report has arrived.

The successful news of the army's expedition against Junggar came. The entire Junggar army was wiped out and the imperial court was victorious. They specially requested the troops to return to the court.

With such a happy event, the southern tour is completely impossible.

The fourth master issued the order that day and set off back to Beijing the next day.

But that night, ship after ship of accompanying items had to be loaded on the ship. These things must arrive in the capital before the master.

"Is there anything strange?" Yun Gu opened her red eyes and asked the third son who answered.

The third son shook his head, "Nothing strange. Among the porters loading the ship, there are some of our own brothers. We only have luggage, but no one else."

Yun Gu then closed her eyes and said, "That's good...just keep staring."

The third son nodded in agreement, turned around and went out.

But she was thinking in her heart, who exactly was this woman telling her to stare at? Who did she think would leave in the middle of the night?

Hongshi left in the middle of the night. Su Peisheng said that Huang Ama had summoned him, and then he went. There was a sedan parked at the door, so he got on the sedan. As a result, he was dangling on the sedan, and when he got there, he was already on the boat.

This ship looks no different from a cargo ship on the outside, but the furnishings inside are excellent. It is completely no different from the previous ship.

What surprised him even more was that not only was he on the boat, but the Queen Mother, Hong Han, and Hong Sheng were also on the boat.

The man standing on the bow of the ship was Li Wei, a man he knew. A dignified first-class official and a high-ranking official, but now he was kneeling on the deck with a knife.
