In the imperial city, Zhu Yunwen's face was gloomy and he walked quickly through the slanting corridor. The eunuchs behind him could only trot and keep up with his pace.

Zhu Yunwen walked into the east warm pavilion of Ganqing Gate, walked around the partition, and sat down on a chair. The palace maid immediately brought tea in. Wu Zhong took the tea cup from the palace maid, held it in both hands to the emperor, and said in a flattering tone: "The emperor is so happy, the dragon body is important."

After taking the tea cup, Zhu Yunwen held it in his hand, gently slapped the water with the lid, smelling the fragrance of tea, and not saying a word for a long time.

After a while, Wu Zhong left the East Warehouse and came back, whispering: "Report to the Emperor, Huangsi, the Huangsi Youth Guardian is ordered to meet him."

"Call him in and talk." Zhu Yunwen said.

Huang Zicheng immediately entered and performed a bow and bowing ceremony. Zhu Yunwen waved, "Not a favor." He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Not long ago, Sheng Yong was defeated in Jiahe! Qi Tai and Xu Huizu in the court all spoke for him, and said that the battle of Pingyan could not be urgently fought, so he still asked Sheng Yong to increase reinforcements. What do you think Huang Siqing?"

Unexpectedly, Huang Zicheng also said: "If you return to the emperor, as far as I know, Sheng Yong cannot be blamed for the Battle of Jiahe.

Tie Xuan, the Minister of War on the front line, confirmed that Sheng Yong fought with infantry in this battle. He first used shield soldiers and spears to defend the front of the enemy, but the Yan army could not break; then he threw the javelin, and the Yan army broke into Sheng Yong's marching formation. However, Sheng Yong immediately used a small number of powerful cavalry teams to counterattack quickly, and then killed the enemy general Tan Yuan who broke into the formation! At first, our official army was very brave..."

Huang Zicheng spoke with a gaze. If he hadn't known the result, Zhu Yunwen would have heard it even more passionately.

Huang Zicheng continued: "At this time, Yan Ni personally led the iron cavalry to the government army and attacked our army from both sides and back. Yan Ni and Yan were in a two-way attack! So Yan Ni came out of the formation, causing the official army to lose several powerful generals. However, under the command of Sheng Yong, although the formation was penetrated, the entire army remained unmoved! Sheng Yong immediately transferred the power of the brave infantry team to run into the formation, and immediately resisted Yan Ni's attack."

"How did Sheng Yong fail?" Zhu Yunwen asked.

Huang Zicheng said: "At that time, the two armies were not in the right position, and because Yan Ni personally rushed into the formation, our army still had a chance of winning... But suddenly a strong wind blew, and the flying sand and stones were facing our army. The soldiers could not open their eyes, and they were even defeated!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen said regretfully: "Why is it just a little short? The king's army fought hard many times in Hebei, but he was always unable to break through! Was he defeated again because of the strong wind? This is a coincidence."

"I heard..." Zhu Yunwen pondered, "Tie Xuan has a close relationship with you, and Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan had an alliance last year. Could it be that's why?"

Huang Zicheng immediately knelt down on the ground, "How dare I deceive the emperor and the emperor? This matter is absolutely selfless, and my words are reported based on the truth!"

"Forget it!" Zhu Yunwen said, "I also think you are talking about the truth. Then I ask Fang Xiaoru to draw an order, and He Fu gathered troops from all over the place, recruited food and grass, and went north to reinforce Sheng Yong and other generals."

Huang Zicheng quietly exhaled and hurriedly said, "The Lord is wise!"

At this moment, a eunuch bent over and walked in. Seeing Zhu Yunwen nodding, he walked to the upper position and bowed his head and whispered.

"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen made a surprised voice, "Tell him to go straight here to explain in detail."

The eunuch said: "Sister obeys the order."

Huang Zicheng said carefully: "That minister..."

Zhu Yunwen reached out and pressed it down gently, "Slowly, Huang Siqing will listen."

Huang Zicheng immediately showed relief and said, "I will receive the order!"

The monarch and ministers waited in the East Nuan Pavilion for a long time, and a man in a green robe and a big hat bowed in. He knelt down outside the partition and said, "Long live." Zhu Yunwen immediately called him in.

The man looked very nervous, and Zhu Yunwen didn't recognize him. After all, the person who came was just a middle- and low-level general of the Jinyiwei, and he usually couldn't see the emperor.

"You said you saw Prince Gaoxu, Prince Gaoxu, by the Qinhuai River?" Zhu Yunwen asked directly.

The general nodded and said, "Return to the sage, I saw you! Today, I was ordered by the commander to come back from the city office and entered the city from Jubao Gate. Soon I saw him sitting in a carriage... Two years ago, the prince of Yan and King Gaoyang arrived in the capital, and were later confined. I was one of the people in charge of guarding the mansion. I had met King Gaoyang several times before and after, so I recognized him."

Huang Zicheng frowned and said, "The son of the King of Yan ran to the capital? You are really not dazzled. Can you confirm this? You can't talk nonsense in front of the saint, that's a serious crime to deceive the emperor!"

"This..." The general was immediately frightened.

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Can you be sure?"

The general said with a sad face: "Weichen could have confirmed that it was him, but... At that time, King Gaoyang was sitting in the carriage, wearing a big hat covering nearly half of his face. Although Weichen still thought it was him, he did not dare to alert the enemy at that time, so he did not follow him and take a closer look.

Weichen only went to Jubao Gate and showed the seal of Jinyiwei. He first asked the guards of Jubao Gate to stop the young and strong young man, so as not to escape from the city gate nearby. Weichen immediately rushed back to report."

Zhu Yunwen tapped his fingers gently on the table. At this moment, the eunuch Wu Zhong whispered: "I'm talking too much, but no matter what the result is, it's okay for the emperor to check it out."

Zhu Yunwen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Immediately send an order to the guards of each city, the Jinyiwei, and the various official shops of Yingtian Prefecture arrange personnel to investigate the whereabouts of King Gaoyang in the city!"

Wu Zhong said: "I will go to pass the imperial edict for the emperor."

The general who bent down and stood in the middle said, "Eunuch Wu, that King Gaoyang is tall and big, a little taller than ordinary people. As long as you catch those tall young men in the city and let those who know King Gaoyang identify them, you will definitely be able to make a comeback!"

Wu Zhong turned to look at Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly.

At this time, Huang Zicheng said again: "Tell people to draw more images."

...

Zhu Gaoxu had given up the arrangements to meet Xu Zengshou and Chen Xuan, and immediately gathered the staff from the three sentinels.

He told all three of them to get on the carriage and said, "There are many people in the capital who know me; but you have almost never been to the capital and no one knows you, and instead you are not easily exposed.

This place is closest to the inner city Jubao Gate and the outer city Da'ande Gate. I will first go out from the nearest Jubao Gate. You will return to Jilong Mountain, take Miss Du with you, and then leave the city from Taiping Gate. After everyone leaves the city, we will still meet in the inn outside Jiangdong Gate!"

The three of them answered one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "No need to delay, let's go separately."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu also felt that he was too alert, but being careful is not a bad thing. At worst, it would be just a little more trouble. He had to do something in his previous life, which was even more troublesome, so he formed the habit of not being afraid of trouble.

After making arrangements, Zhu Gaoxu drove a carriage alone, pressed his hat lower, and headed straight south to the treasure gate. After he decided to flash the crowd immediately, he felt a lot more relaxed, after all, this was the safest way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu approached the treasure gate, he suddenly saw some tall men standing inside the city gate, staring at by officers and soldiers wearing strong and sharp sterns, and officers and soldiers holding bows and arrows!

Damn it! What's going on?

Zhu Gaoxu immediately cursed in shock and was very confused again. Even if the "big hat" he encountered before was a spy from the court, he would not have blocked the city gate so quickly, right? Could it be that something happened to Li Jinglong or Xu Zengshou...

He didn't have to think too much, and immediately turned around the carriage and left Jubao Gate quickly.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly crossed the Qinhuai River from the bridge. He didn't dare to go to Zhengyangmen in the east. There were many yamen there, which was even more dangerous. He had to drive the carriage and continue walking north.

King Yan also had a mansion in the capital, but that place is the most dangerous now. He didn't know where to go for a while... Zhengyang Gate didn't dare to go, and the other two city gates were water gates, which was very strange for those who drove the car there. Zhu Gaoxu thought about something wrong, but he drove the car and ran north along the road.

Before he knew it, he was not far from Taiping Gate. At this time, there seemed to be more and more official soldiers on the street. Zhu Gaoxu was almost caught several times. It seemed that Taiping Gate must be on guard and could not go out again!

He thought that only monk Qingyuan knew about the hiding mansion in Jilong Mountain. Maybe he could hide for the time being...it was mainly because it was too dangerous on the street right now!

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu drove the carriage towards Jilong Mountain.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of officials wearing high-top hats on the street riding a horse towards Zhu Gaoxu! Zhu Gaoxu was very nervous and hurriedly heading towards the road to Jilong Mountain.

He was very familiar with this road and soon arrived at the long street selling incense and candles. Just walk a while inside and you can turn into the alley.

However, the situation was worse than he thought. After walking on Xiangzhu Street for a while, he saw several more officials coming towards him... These people were not stupid, and when they checked the people, the route was deployed in a very well-organized manner, forcing Zhu Gaoxu to have sweat soaked in his forehead!

Do you want to capsize in the gutter? Even though Zhu Gaoxu is skilled in martial arts, it is useless in the capital. Once there is a conflict with the official and the situation is caused, his whereabouts will be even smaller! It is definitely blocked nearby, and the court can capture him if he digs three feet into the ground.

...In a hurry, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that when he went out in the morning, the incense and candle shop that the little nun was taking care of was on this street. However, only one encounter, would she take the risk of helping someone who met by chance? This is really not easy!

The official at the foot of the mountain was riding a horse. After a little delay, Zhu Gaoxu was about to be surrounded! He had no choice but to do anything and could not care much. He followed the rough location he passed by in the morning and hurriedly rushed over.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the shop next to him. After a while, he saw that Xiao Ni was still guarding the shop. The carriage was parked next to the shop. Xiao Ni also raised his head and saw Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu got off the front of the carriage and walked to the little nun. The little nun frowned and looked at him sweating, and asked, "What's the matter with the donor?"

"Let me hide for a while, and there will be rewards in the future! No matter what you want, I will promise you." Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

The little nun was so happy and decisive that she immediately replied, "Come in first."

"Thank you, benefactor." Zhu Gaoxu was grateful and hurriedly ran in. He looked back and forth. There was only one house on the shop, with a simple bed and mosquito nets inside, and the surroundings were filled with incense and candles.

The little nun whispered, “Above.”

Zhu Gaoxu then looked up and saw a wooden ladder in the corner of the wall, and there was indeed a wooden partition above his head; there was only a hole in the place where the wooden ladder was built.

He hurriedly strode to the dim corner of the wall, and climbed up from the ladder with his hands and feet. The shop was a one-story tile house. Zhu Gaoxu climbed up the next building and felt very low and could not even stand up while sitting.
