Chapter 116 How to deal with yourself

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to hear Xu Huizu's voice again: Maybe because he was not fully aware of what he could not confirm other people's thoughts, so he did something, looked at it, and kept speculating and confirming it, which was safe...

Those inappropriate random thoughts were a little terrifying for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Chi Yue's drunken face and her entangled and confused gaze, but she still couldn't help but test it.

He gradually approached Chi Yue and walked very slowly, for fear of frightening her. The aloofness and coldness that often appeared on her face had long disappeared, and her beautiful eyes had a pitiful look, and it seemed to be a little charming.

"King Gaoyang..." Chi Yue sat on the chair, holding the corner of her clothes with both hands. Her whole body seemed to be tense, and even her voice changed. "What have you misunderstood and what have you remembered, and now I will say it."

"I misunderstood your affection." Zhu Gaoxu spoke gently and his movements were slow. Chi Yue was very nervous, but he was very careful.

Chi Yue's eyes flashed, and she bit her lower lip and shook her head without saying a word.

In ancient times, there seemed to be no word for confession. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't remember it anyway. Everything was based on hints and guesses... She said, "Even if King Gaoyang didn't tie her up before, she would never reveal the whereabouts of King Gaoyang, and she wouldn't even hesitate"; she said, "Let's go slowly and pass quickly." Isn't she suggesting affection?

Sometimes Zhu Gaoxu felt that his thinking still could not keep up with the people of this era. He was accustomed to proving the logic of the same question. No matter how complicated the process was, the conclusions must be derived from known conditions; but Chi Yue's thoughts seemed to be more elegant and elusive.

It is like flying catkins, gently unsteady and has no direction.

"Why are you holding it so tightly? I'm not a bad person, please relax your hands." Zhu Gaoxu said kindly while putting his hands on Chi Yue Yubai's soft cock.

Chi Yue shrank her hand gently, but she didn't break free. Her strength was very soft. She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and immediately said angrily, "No matter how I think of King Gaoyang, I don't look like a good person..."

Zhu Gaoxu's hand began to move carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm just stupid. When I met at Qingquan Temple, I asked me to hold you, but I missed it!"

After hearing this, Chi Yue looked even more ashamed and said tremblingly, "At that time, King Gaoyang was full of kindness, but now he only had lustful hearts."

Zhu Gaoxu was soaked with sweat on his forehead, and he didn't care much about it. As long as Chi Yue didn't fight it hard, he would be more and more aggressive.

After a long time, the entangled breath suddenly stopped. Chi Yue reached into her abdomen and grabbed his big hand hard. She raised her head, her voice became much clearer, and there seemed to be a look of worry in her eyes, "If I do this, how will I deal with myself in the future?"

Zhu Gaoxu felt her firmness and seriousness from the strength from her hands. He put his palms there and didn't know what to do for a moment. Chi Yue's words just now kept ringing in his ears like an echo.

When Chi Yue was kidnapped and locked up in this wine cellar, it was a force of the situation. If you use strong power now, it would be a bit of a danger. Moreover, Chi Yue was born in a scholarly family since she was a child and was influenced by a lot of ethics, which made her lose her innocence in this wine cellar. She may be really unacceptable.

Zhu Gaoxu gradually calmed down when he thought of this.

After a while, he returned to the ground and walked out of the storage room and took a long breath of the cool air.

...

I thought I would be able to be idle for a while when I returned to Peking this time, but a few days later, Zhu Gaoxu received the order to go to the expedition. At that time, Yao Guangxiao returned to Peking and brought the letter from the King of Yan, asking Zhu Gaoxu to go south to the front line.

After Zhu Gaoxu came to the capital to meet Li Jinglong and others, the King of Yan seemed to have finally made up his mind and decided to implement a new strategy.

This time, the Yan army may no longer be limited to Hebei and Shandong!

Zhu Gaoxu ordered the troops of the headquarters to gather within a specified period of time, and he also cleaned up his own efforts. In early June of the third year of Jianwen, Zhu Gaoxu was preparing to go out to Peking again to meet with the King of Yan.

The damaged Qingtang iron armor has been carefully repaired. However, the refinished materials are different from the old and new, and the colors are different. The patches of repaired iron on them are like his experience in war.

With the help of Wang Gui and others, Zhu Gaoxu finally put on heavy armor. He looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a very uneasy expression.

"Prince." Wang Gui picked up the goose feather knife in both hands and handed it over.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out to take it, and the words he said rang in his ears again: What's so great about the emperor? You can still take off your horse!

He pulled out the Yanling sword, looked at the brand new blade, and sent it back to the scabbard with a "clang" sound, hanging the scabbard around his waist. In a trance, he remembered what Yao Ji said: Don't forget the closeness of your skin, don't lose your words.

He had suspected Yao Ji, but one thing was certain: Yao Ji had never done anything that was unfavorable to him, and it was also true that she had saved her life in the capital; but Zhu Gaoxu had promised her but failed to do it.

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the grievances in this world.

Farewell to Princess Xu, Prince and others, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Prince's Mansion and saw that Wang Bin, Wei Dachui and other generals were wearing sharp arms and holding sharps inside and outside the gatehouse. Civil servant Hou Hai, eunuch Wang Gui Cao Fu, and slaves in the mansion were all coming to see him off.

Du Qianrui was also beside Wang Gui. This was the first time she saw Zhu Gaoxu wearing iron armor and fully armed.

"Prince, be careful." Du Qianrui looked at him with a worried look.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her and nodded slightly. When he saw Wang Gui and others bowing and saying goodbye, he looked back and said, "Go!"

The cavalry left the gatehouse one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu took his men to the school grounds in the north of the city to mobilize their troops. At this time, he had 1,400 elite cavalry, more than 3,000 infantry and cavalry, and a total of about 5,000 infantry and cavalry. It turned out that the vassal cavalry he had mastered was not in Peiping, but was already on the front line in the south.

The weather was very hot in June. Zhu Gaoxu led his men to march slowly and set up camp and rested at noon. They arrived at Li County several days later. This city changed hands several times and was captured by the Yan army at the beginning of the year. Not long ago, it became the main camp of the King of Yan.

But when Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Li County, he heard that the King of Yan had led his army to cross the Hutuo River.

So Zhu Gaoxu stayed in Li County for a day. While sending scouts to inquire about the specific location of the King of Yan, he also sent troops to build a floating bridge. The next morning, the army whispered trumpets and made rice before dawn. The troops left the city in the sky and crossed the Hutuo River through the floating bridge.

That night, Zhu Gaoxu rushed to the Yan King's camp and ordered Veda Wang Bin and others to choose a place to build a base. He rode his horse to the central army to pay homage to his father.

... When several generals in the tent saw Zhu Gaoxu coming in, they looked sideways and bowed one after another: "King Gaoyang!" "Greetings to King Gaoyang..."

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and returned the greeting with a kind look on his face, walked up from the middle, and said, "My son is ordered to go south and pay homage to the father!"

King Yan stood up from his seat with a happy expression, walked to Zhu Gaoxu, held his forearm with both hands, and supported Zhu Gaoxu, "Gao Xu has made great contributions! If it weren't for your achievements in this journey, I wouldn't have decided to go south."

"It is only a duty for a son to share the worries of his father." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said.

The King of Yan frowned again and said, "I didn't expect you to be so dangerous. After hearing Zheng He's report... Alas!" After he sighed, his expression changed, "Fortunately, my son is blessed and finally got rid of danger."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I hope my father can come to the capital as soon as possible."

"Okay!" King Yan clapped Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder, then turned around and walked a few steps, and said, "Sheng Yong is in Shandong, and Ping'an is still along the Hutuo River. Ping'an doesn't have many cavalrymen. His infantry marching is too close to us for ambush and attacks. Before we move easily, we won't wait for him."

Jin Zhong said: "The prince is very close, and the court still doesn't know our plans yet! I visited the Ma Ma report at night, and Sheng Yong's army gathered in Jinan, thinking that we were going to cross the river to attack Jinan City."

After hearing this, the King of Yan laughed, and the generals also laughed.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled violently, and thought of Miao Jin in the cellar. He thought to himself: If I hadn't locked Miao Jin up, would you still be smiling so proudly at this time?

Jin Zhong said: "Since last year, Sheng Yong has embraced Shandong as his foothold and thought it was a perfect solution. If our army attacked Shandong, Sheng Yong would defend the city of Jinan. He also thought that our army would not dare to cross Shandong. Just because the official army came out from Shandong, we could immediately cut off our retreat and food route. However, the prince's army was about to point to the river!"

King Yan nodded and said, "Sheng Yong gathered heavily in Jinan, and we took the opportunity to attack Zhucheng west of Jinan. The prefectures and counties were empty and could not defend. In this way, we could cross Shandong and go straight south!"

The generals bowed: "The prince is wise!"

The King of Yan waved his hand and said, "Everyone will return to the camp, and we will set it down tomorrow!"

The generals surrendered, and the King of Yan left Zhu Gaoxu alone. The eunuch Zheng He next to him also went out silently, and soon there was only father and son left in the tent.

King Yan said earnestly: "Your two brothers, the elder brother is inconvenient to mobility, and the younger brother is too young and has no experience. For your father, you can only send you to do things."

Zhu Gaoxu had thought of a routine before, just to express his loyalty repeatedly, like an advertisement! He said without thinking: "The life of his son minister is also given by his father. As long as the father gives his order, he will be in trouble even if he is in trouble!"

Although he was full of complaints, he said those things at this time were useless... He had been thinking about a question for a while: With the suspicious nature of the King of Yan, when the war ended, will all the injustice and suspicion that Zhu Gaoxu was suffering now be transferred to the crown prince? The crown prince is hiding in Peking and living a good life, and it will not be necessary in the future...

He then said, "The father sent his sons to the capital, but the situation is forced. If no one is allowed to respond to our army, we cannot cross the river and break the capital. The father would not dare to take the risk of going south at this time, and our difficult situation could not be changed."

"Well..." King Yan nodded slightly, "I am eager to call you here this time, and I think Gao Xu is loyal and brave enough to help you."

Looking at the calm expression of the father, Zhu Gaoxu knew that the father was quite satisfied, at least he didn't have to worry.

"Go and Gao Xu encouraged him." King Yan said.

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said, "My son is leaving."

When he walked out of the tent, it was completely dark. The fire was lit in the military camps around him, and at first glance, he could not see the beginning and the end. At this time, there were probably more than 200,000 people under the command of King Yan!
