Chapter 242: The Powerless Anger

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yao Ji's Honghong's eyes and guessed in her heart: Although she could not confirm the identity of the man in front of her, she should have believed it a little.

He said, "When Yao Fengji left home, Yao Ji was still young; but you have an older brother who should recognize his father. Is your older brother now in Yunnan?"

Yao Ji turned around when she heard the sound. Zhu Gaoxu looked at her eyes and nodded seriously.

She hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My brother is also in Yunnan."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately breathed a sigh of relief... He usually cared about Bigg, but it seemed useful; now Yao Ji could believe him, and believed that he would not do such a despicable thing. For example, just find someone to pretend to be Yao Fengji and lie to her to confess who her brother is.

"Then you go and find your brother now to confirm Yao Fengji's identity, how about that?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with kind words.

At this time, Yao Ji had calmed down a little, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "How did the prince recognize my father?"

Zhu Gaoxu gestured and said calmly: "The technique of tying the straps."

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Ma Peng again. Ma Peng said, "Yao Fang and you, are you doing well over the years?"

Yao Ji refused to answer, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I'll go to Bao'en Temple Street and find my brother first."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately responded: "I asked Wang Gui to send you there."

After Yao Ji left the restaurant, Ma Peng seemed very silent. He inserted his finger into his temples, rubbed his head hard, and sat on a wooden bench with his head buried.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. While guessing the mood of the father and daughter, he was considering the relationship between the matter.

After waiting for a long time, the Yao Ji and his sister finally came back.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood at the door of the wing room, his eyes stopped on Ma Peng, and he stared at him, "Dad?!"

Ma Peng stood up from the bench and looked at the young man: "You are Yao Fang?"

There was a square wooden table and four benches in the wing room. This was originally a restaurant. Zhu Gaoxu sat on the innermost bench. He didn't make a sound, but just carefully observed their reactions... Or because the child changed a lot when he grew up, Ma Peng could not confirm the appearance of his two children; while Yao Fang recognized Ma Peng. But this was enough.

Yao Ji said: "Brother, is he really our father?"

Yao Fang still stared at Ma Peng. He stood at the door and nodded without looking back, unable to speak for a while.

Yao Ji asked in a trembling voice: "Dad, why did you abandon us at the beginning?!"

"Oh!" Ma Peng sighed again.

Zhu Gaoxu finally spoke: "There is a stool here, come and sit down and talk. It's been so many years since I've been doing it, and I may not be able to explain it clearly in one or two words."

...The three members of the Yao family sat together and told each other about the past. The truth from many years ago gradually became clear. Zhu Gaoxu was listening.

Before Daoyan became a monk, he was the elder of Yao Fengji's clan, and he was considered an uncle; originally everyone was a member of the Yao family, and there were no grudges.

But later, Yao Fengji, who was a household in the Jinyiwei, discovered Daoyan's secret matter. In order not to be reported, Daoyan took the lead and set up a trap to frame Yao Fengji for colluding with pirates.

Yao Fengji was no match for Dao Yan at that time. He was defeated in that conspiracy and was sentenced to death and was forced to abandon his wife and children and run away. His wife hanged herself because of this.

Daoyan was also surnamed Yao after all, and he was somewhat affectionate to his family, so he showed mercy to his two uninformed children and asked someone to raise them. Later, Daoyan gained the loyalty of the brother and sister through the grace of raising them, so he simply used them to work hard for them.

Daoyan thought Yao Fengji's affairs had passed. After the "Jingnan Battle", he went to Beijing. He tore off the conviction file of Yao Fengji back then, and thought that the truth would be sealed forever and would never be known again...

"I want to go to Beijing to kill Yao Guangxiao and avenge my unjustly dead mother!" Yao Fang's eyes were bloody and her voice gritted her teeth was full of hatred.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately advised: "Yao Baihu, don't be anxious."

Yao Fang punched the square table, and with tears in her eyes, she suddenly raised her head and laughed, sneering: "I actually acted as a dog for my mother's enemy. I have been cheated for so many years! If I don't kill my enemy, am I still a human being?!"

Zhu Gaoxu observed his reaction and said, "Daoyan is now my father's most confidant adviser. It's hard to say whether Yao Baihu can successfully assassinate; even if the sudden attack is done, you don't want to run away."

"One life is worth one life!" Yao Fang stood up.

"Ma Peng" voice said: "You brother and sister have a hard life, let your father do this."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped the table with a "bang", and the three of them looked at him sideways. Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "Is it a real man who is so reckless when encountering things? Your family has never fought against Yao Guangxiao back then, what will happen?"

The emotions of the Yao family father and son finally eased a little, and they fell silent together.

"The justice in the world is not about the right and wrong of black and white, but about the success or failure of strength." Zhu Gaoxu let out a sigh, his tone was gentler. He said in a deep voice, "The anger without strength is meaningless."

Yao Ji's voice said: "Don't be impatient with your father and brother, please listen to His Highness the King of Han. I have been with the prince for a long time, and I believe in the prince's knowledge and ability."

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the two of them and said, "Yao Guangxiao is almost seventy years old and has no family or children. So what if he is killed? Should you be a sinner or a sinner? His name will be kept in history and will be remembered forever. How meaningful is it to do this?"

Yao Fang looked at Zhu Gaoxu with red eyes and said, "Your Highness thinks, what should I do?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Only hatred cannot make you succeed. Besides, the enemy who is nearly 70 years old cares about the most is not life; even if Daoyan was assassinated, he still has not been defeated! Only by destroying what he cherishes and completely letting him taste the taste of failure can we revenge on your family's injustice and blood feud for so many years. What does Yao Baihu think?"

Yao Fang nodded silently.

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Yao Baihu is a traitor under Daoyan's men. He should understand that Daoyan wants to deal with me; otherwise, he would not send you, a confidant traitor, to Yunnan to stare at me. As long as you can join my disciples, it will pose a great threat to Yao Guangxiao and will have a chance to take revenge sooner or later!"

He looked stern and said firmly: "I am the emperor's legitimate son, with money, food, power, and military power. Only I, Zhu Gaoxu, have the ability to avenge you; only I can give you a future!"

Zhu Gaoxu gradually recovered his calmness and continued calmly: "What's more, Yao Ji is a close person around me. I will give her a title in the future. If you follow me, will you have some credit? Will you be treated unfairly in the future?"

The father and son looked at each other. Ma Peng, who had just been ordered by Zhu Gaoxu, temporarily led the commander of Yuezhou Guard, looked at Yao Fang and nodded slightly. The two of them stood up one after another, knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and said, "If His Highness the King of Han does not abandon him, I will be willing to serve the work of the father and son!"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and he stepped forward and helped them up with his own hands: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu noticed that Yao Ji was sitting silently on the side, her face blank and her face was blank and deserted.

Yao Fang stood up, clasped her fists and said, "Prince, there will be two meeting gifts at the end, I hope the prince will accept it with a smile."

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at him with anticipation.

Yao Fang said: "One copy is a person. He sent a letter to the Tiren Gate of the Han Palace for Ping'an. Finally, he cut off his head and presented it to him..."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized it, and then gave a thumbs up in surprise: "You can find such a person, and I admire you."

Yao Fang continued: "The other is the list of spies in the Han Palace."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't wait to ask, "Who are there?"

Yao Fang said: "Chief Li Mo, guard general flag Chen Gang, army Yu Meiqing."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help it for a moment, laughed "ha" and said, "Daoyan is almost tasted the taste of failure."

...

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace and met Yao Fengji alone, and ordered him to find a place to hide someone in Dongshan, Yuezhou (Ping An); because Zhu Gaoxu felt that staying in Kunming City was too dangerous and not a long-term way.

Yao Fengji agreed and said that there was a prey on his territory in the dense forest and had just moved out; the person who could hide was pretending to be a hunter and he didn't have to interact with people normally.

Back in the harem, Zhu Gaoxu went to meet Yao Ji again.

She sat in front of the window a little lonely, and didn't come to salute, just staring blankly there.

Zhu Gaoxu found a stool himself and sat in front of the window. He followed her gaze and saw that there was only an inconspicuous peach tree there, and there was nothing good to look at.

Yao Ji's voice said, "I finally found my father, but somehow I'm not sure what happened. Now it's different from what I thought before... But I'm very grateful to the prince, thank you."

Zhu Gaoxu listened silently.

After a while, she murmured again: "I thought that if I found my father, everything would change; I would have a relative who treats me with all my heart and think about everything for me... But my father and brother don't seem to care about me."

Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: "You can't blame them too much. Family affection is not just blood relationship. You have never been with your family since you were a child, and it is inevitable that you will be unfamiliar when you meet suddenly."

Yao Ji finally moved her eyes away from the inexplicable peach tree at that moment, turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Prince, you have worked so much to find my father. But now I am sorry for these lost words."

"No. You don't have to think so." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, "To be honest, I have my own considerations when I look for Yao Fengji; and if you want to find Ling Zun so much, I also want to find you, and I want to see you happy."

"Prince..." Yao Ji suddenly widened her eyes and her eyes wandered on Zhu Gaoxu's face.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered: "We often have too high expectations for everything. Why don't Yao Ji change her mind? Now you have a father who is a military general, and at least you will never be as unidentified as before. This is always a good thing."
