Zhu Gaoxu wanted to lead the army to set out as soon as possible, which seemed a little hasty; but in order to seize the opportunity, he could only give up his perfect preparations.

There is nothing more important than military operations at this time. Many seemingly important things can be put aside. However, before Zhu Gaoxu left, he still had to meet the King of Shu, and this matter could not be omitted. After all, the King of Shu was the son of Emperor Taizu, who was in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Office for many years; and his grandfather was Guo Zixing, the King of Chuyang, and his reputation was extraordinary.

Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about finding a natural reason to find a reason for the success of Shu. Unexpectedly, the King of Shu first sent an invitation letter. Zhu Gaoxu opened it and saw that the King of Shu said that the emperor's nephew came to Chengdu and his uncle prepared a family banquet tomorrow to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. There were not many people invited, only the emperor's nephew and the Marquis of Xiping, the banquet was simple and simple, so I hope I would not refuse.

The uncle and nephew were completely in tune with each other. Zhu Gaoxu was about to meet the King of Shu, so he immediately agreed.

After the sun set, Zhu Gaoxu continued to stay in the middle hall for a while. When he walked out of the door, it was just dark. Zhu Gaoxu walked under the eaves and met Miao Jin, and said, "Miao Jin came to the wing room, I have something to tell you."

When the two entered the wing room, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Miaojin's narrow robe and the bun on his head, and said, "The King of Shu will treat you tomorrow. Would Miaojin be willing to go to the banquet with me?"

Unexpectedly, Miao Jin frowned and said, "If I walk with the King of Han, what identity should I say when I introduce it, and what clothes should I wear?"

"It's okay." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Miaojin is by my side, no one will make things difficult for you."

Miao Jin whispered: "The rumors say that you escaped from the palace with the female path that robbed the title of aunt, and it was well known to everyone in the world. Now you have taken me back to such complicated occasions, aren't you afraid of confirming the rumors?"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said, "No wonder you are still close to me and have not seen it yet?"

He paused and said, "People like to talk nonsense, but what people care about the most is themselves, and they don't really care about other people's affairs so much. Miaojin doesn't have to care too much."

Miao Jin's expression was a little confused. After the two of them fell silent, the room on the winter night seemed particularly quiet, without the noise of summer insects and frogs, nor the voices of people during the day.

Zhu Gaoxusong breathed and sighed, "I don't force you, just don't want to go."

Miao Jin murmured, "If I hadn't been arranged to go to Peking to do that, I might have walked the same path as other women. But now, because of the experiences, I feel that getting married and having children is not much meaning..."

Zhu Gaoxu listened thoughtfully.

Unfortunately, Miao Jin came to an abrupt end when she said this, and said, "I'm not going to the banquet, so I'll ask the King of Han to forgive me. I heard that the general Xue Lu had fought with Ji Gang for a female doctrine and almost died. Perhaps in the eyes of others, I am no different from that female doctrine, but the man I have made is a higher status."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Miaojin is different from others, you are very unique."

Sure enough, what he said casually suddenly made Miao Jin's expression look a little different. She should be someone who is unwilling to follow the crowd.

"The female saying that Xue Lu robbed may be unusual, but it is not known to everyone." Although Miao Jin said this, she immediately couldn't help asking, "How is it different?"

Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the hazy light of the lantern and looked at her charming eyes that could not be hidden even when she was dressed up. Her skin shone with a goose yellow luster under the fire, which reminded him of a kind of tight and smooth touch. But he could not put such rough and vulgar words on his lips, and then said gently: "I cannot fully comprehend Miaojin's thoughts, and I feel that they are unique. This is probably the case, I can't explain it very clearly."

Miao Jin's face turned slightly red and she blurted out: "The same is true for Gao Xu. Somehow, I always feel relieved by your side, and I feel better..."

Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the good atmosphere and quietly placed his hand on the back of her jade-white hand.

A few days ago, Zhu Gaoxu had just moved into Li Rang's mansion. Li Rang wanted to serve guests with his concubine, but was rejected. Although Miao Jin was often close and rarely got close to each other, Zhu Gaoxu already felt that ordinary women were chewing wax.

Miao Jin's beautiful eyes looked at the big hand on the back of her hand and whispered: "There is also a sense of sin."

...The next morning, King Zhu Chun of Shu sent the chief secretary to bring Xiang Luo to greet Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu, Mu Sheng and others, and went to the Shu Palace surrounded by a large number of guards.

Wang Yu and his armored soldiers stayed outside the gatehouse of the royal palace, while Zhao Ping and a group of men wearing commoners wearing swords followed him into the royal palace as followers.

The Shu Palace is located in Chengdu City, but it seems to be a paradise. It is so quiet and elegant in the midst of the hustle and bustle. There are tall trees on both sides of the road, and carefully tailored gardening is embellished on all sides. Although in winter, the vegetation in the palace is also very rich.

The magnificent palaces and exquisite pavilions are hidden in it, looming; there are also the elegant sounds of silk and bamboo from afar, and the sound of Lang Lang's reading comes, making the quiet palace seem unsilent and full of cultural atmosphere.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that this place was more comfortable than his King of Han.

The place where the King of Shu was hospitalized was not in the main hall, but in a water pavilion by a wide lake. Zhu Gaoxu was also the first time he met King of Shu Zhu Chun. The King of Shu was 36 years old this year, just one round older than Zhu Gaoxu, and it was also his zodiac year. Now it seems that the King of Shu is indeed a bit unlucky.

Zhu Chun was elegant and calm, and there was no fear of being despised as a prisoner. He also introduced the princess and his son Zhu Yueyi. Today, the prince of Shu did not attend the banquet, but instead, the prince of Huayang County Zhu Yueyi came. The prince of Shu said that the prince was weak and could not have a banquet, so he explained the past lightly.

Zhao Ping and others stood outside the water pavilion, with big figures inside. Zhu Gaoxu came alone, but Mu Sheng brought a little girl.

"Her name is Sha Yi, the daughter of the chieftain of Jianchang, who was only included in the mansion not long ago." Mu Sheng introduced.

The woman named Sha Yi wore a weird blue base dress, but she made a happy fortune in a very clear Chinese language, "I have met the King of Shu, the King of Han, the Princess and the Prince of Huayang."

"Okay, okay, madam is so polite." The King of Shu said with a smile.

After a while, everyone exchanged greetings, they divided the guests and hosts into their seats. Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be calm and admired the environment here, thinking it was really OK! The scenery was beautiful and the air was fresh. Standing next to the carved railings in the water pavilion, sprinkling some fish food to see the fish. A maid wearing a moon-white dress was doing this.

The King of Shu only asked Zhu Yueyi, the Prince of Huayang, to participate. It seemed that everything could be negotiated. The King of Shu was very positive. After all, everyone was a noble and wealthy person, so there was no need to tear his face so ugly.

Now 20,000 guards in the Shu Palace have been dispersed and reorganized by Zhu Gaoxu and are ready to take them to the battlefield in Guizhou. The guards in the Shu Palace have either rebelled and opened the Chengdu gate or become bare bars. Zhu Gaoxu is really not worried about what the Shu Palace can do. If they all know music, that would be great.

Before Zhu Gaoxu came, he had already thought of a foothold in the negotiations. He hoped that the King of Shu would remain neutral on the surface so that both sides would leave room for peace, so that the King of Shu would try his best to keep his wealth as much as possible; but he had to write a guarantee letter in private, and as long as he did not do anything in Sichuan, Zhu Gaoxu turned a blind eye to his attitude.

Only the matter of Prince Huayang was a bit difficult to deal with, and the Prince of Shu was actually at the banquet.

When the sun was approaching the middle of the sky, the King of Shu gently stroked his palms, and the family banquet immediately became the main topic.

Young and beautiful palace maids in beautiful clothes came one after another, first served five-cut three soups, whole goose, duck, deer, sheep, and suckling pig; then more delicious dishes were put up one by one. At this time, the whole opera team also arrived at the water pavilion, and the musical instruments were ready.

"Two nephews, please. Don't be polite. Before drinking, take a few bites of vegetables and drink a few sips of warm soup. This way you can nourish your health." The King of Shu lifted up his chopsticks and said. Mu Ying was the adopted son of Taizu, and he was a righteous brother with the King of Shu, so Mu Sheng was also a nephew.

Mu Sheng only glanced at it and said in a casual tone: "This bear paw is a bit rare. Can Sichuan catch bears?"

The King of Shu smiled and said, "Spend more silver. Live shrimps from Liaodong can also be eaten. This shrimp is from the Liaodong Sea. My two nephews lived in the south for a long time, and most of them were tired of eating the delicacies. So I specially asked the chef to make some northern dishes to try."

This place looks simple and elegant, but it is hard to imagine the arrogance|She|Liang|Yi|Yi. Zhu Gaoxu showed a self-deprecating expression and said, "She|Mi in the court, I am really more unfair than Dou E!"

The princess covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm afraid of making a laugh."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My uncle is laughing. The emperor said the feast in the letter, and I believe it is true."

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestra gradually sounded, and the actor also walked onto the stage. After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he watched the show sideways.

At this time, the King of Shu said in his voice: "Uncle's particularity is still worse than the emperor's nephew."

"How do you say this?" Zhu Gaoxu said in confusion. His expression was unpretentious, and he really felt that the King of Shu was much more particular than himself.

The King of Shu pointed to the opera troupe that Zhu Gaoxu had just paid attention to and said, "Just talk about this drama. Can the emperor know where is the most expensive and cheapest opera troupe today?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "I'm not very proficient in this."

The King of Shu moved his finger over and pointed at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Isn't it on the palace of the Han princess of the emperor's nephew? Huadan is the prince's favorite concubine, and the play was written by King Ning. This specification and this particularity are those who are rich enough to compete with the country, but can they spend money to get it?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned and laughed: "Uncle is really good at politeness!"

The King of Shu did not laugh and said seriously: "There was a conclusion between the Liyuan Garden, but the emperor's nephew really doesn't know?"

Zhu Gaoxu watched the expression of the King of Shu for a moment, and it was not like a joke. He then stroked his hands and smiled, "This is the first time I have heard it."

"Huh? No! It's so strange!" Mu Sheng's voice suddenly said a little nervously.

Zhu Gaoxu and the King of Shu both looked sideways, and saw Mu Sheng frowning, as if he had eaten a piece of dirty food from the delicacy.

"Nephew, where is it inappropriate?" King Shu asked immediately.

Everyone followed Mu Sheng's gaze and looked at the stage one after another.
