Chapter 74: The Book of Chapters

The banner of "Fengtian Jingnan" fluttered in the wind with its teeth and claws. The cavalry on the road was very powerful, slowly passing through the boundary of Linyi County and heading towards Jinan Prefecture.

At this moment, several men shouted on the side of the road: "The King of Yan is wise and divine, Caomin and others are willing to serve their own efforts!"

The King of Yan, who was riding on the horse, looked slightly and saw four strong men in civilian clothes knelt on the side of the road. At this time, a man suddenly got up and ran towards the road. The cavalry of his own troops immediately blocked him.

"Prince, Prince..." the man shouted excitedly.

The King of Yan waved the whip, and when the personal soldiers made a little move, he saw the man running over, and grabbed the belt on the horse's chest and said, "The villain Ji Gang was originally a student of Linyi. He was familiar with bows, horses, riding and shooting. Please take it in!"

There were even people who passed the exam and took the initiative to surrender? The King of Yan was immediately moved. After all, wherever the Yan army went, they were treated as rebels by scholars. The King of Yan immediately said to his personal soldiers, "Take them with you, camp and then meet me."

"Get orders!"

The troops continued to advance south, crossed Linyi County, and arrived at the north bank of the Daji River that day. The battalions built military camps and formed troops.

...At night that day, Zhu Gaoxu took a team of personal troops and tied up Qu Neng and his son to the Yan King's camp. Qu Neng became the governor, and Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to hide it or directly take it into the account. Only the Yan King had the right to deal with it.

Zhu Gaoxu first walked into the tent, clasped his fists and said, "My son is paying homage to my father!"

"Gao Xu is here." King Yan smiled, obviously very satisfied with Zhu Gaoxu's performance in Baigouhe.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said, "Bring Qu Neng and others in."

After a while, Qu Neng and his son were tied up and sent into the tent. The generals looked at each other. The King of Yan, who was in power, had a smile just now, and immediately stopped it, with a secret murderous aura on his face!

Zhu Gaoxu said with a tough temper: "That day, on the Baigou River, Erchen led his troops to siege Qu Neng's troops. He wanted to kill him, but he saw his son Qu Liangcai on the side... Erchen remembered that he ran back to Peiping from the capital last year and was blocked by Qu Liangcai in Zhuozhou. He had to escape after asking for a favor. So Erchen did not kill them, but caught them first and handed them over to his father to deal with it. It can be considered a return of love."

When the King of Yan heard this, he was indeed calm and turned to look at Qu Neng and others. The two stood there without saying a word. They were kicked in the leg by the personal soldiers behind them, and they were forced to kneel down on one knee.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said, "Who in the world is dissatisfied with the power of his father? Qu Neng's family is in the capital, so he dare not surrender easily."

"What do you want to deal with the person Gao Xu captured?" asked King Yan.

Zhu Gaoxu showed hesitation on his face, and his right hand turned into a palm, but he did not lift it up for a long time.

At this moment, the eunuch Zheng He next to him whispered: "Prince, if you kill them, you are afraid that other military generals of the army will die and die, the fox will be sad..."

The King of Yan took a deep breath in a quiet voice, as if he was pressing something into his stomach, and said, "Zheng He, you can ask someone to escort them back to Peking, and I will talk about it later!"

Zheng He worshipped: "Sister obeys the order."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, save their lives first. After all, no matter how powerful a dead person is, it is useless.

At this time, the personal soldiers of the Yan King's tent took Qu Neng and others down.

The King of Yan quickly said, "Li Jinglong fled to Jinan City. Tomorrow morning, we will pack up our troops and cross the river, take advantage of the victory to defeat Jinan first, and then take the entire Shandong!"

All the generals said, "The prince is wise!"

After deploying the order and array of river crossings of various departments, everyone dispersed one after another, and each returned to nourish the energy.

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the tent and met the eunuch Zheng He. He looked at Zheng He, but saw that the eunuch was still wearing mountain armor and holding an iron helmet. If he hadn't said nothing, he would look like a general.

"General Zheng, haha!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Zheng He waved his hand and laughed, "King Gaoyang is walking slowly."

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't mean to leave immediately, and said in a casual tone: "Just as I said before today, I just remember to eat but not beat me, haha! If others treat me a little good, they will never forget it."

Zheng He smiled and said, "Is King Gaoyang boasting?"

The two of them looked at each other again and smiled. Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "I just want to be at ease and open-minded. Now I have paid back my feelings. I will have nothing to do in the future. Thank you for your kindness..."

After saying that, he sighed again, "I have paid back one of my love things, and I owe another one."

"Where is it, King Gaoyang must not say that, but it's just a little effort." Zheng He gradually stopped his smile and said seriously, "Besides, I will serve the King of Yan, and I will naturally think about the prince. If I talk too much, I will have a clear conscience. Not killing Qu Neng first is a wise method, otherwise what will the generals of the official army think? Anyway, I will be killed even if I surrender, and it will be more difficult for us to fight."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said yes.

At this moment, Zheng He said calmly: "Last time, Wang Gui asked me about Zhang Yan..."

"The Book of the Prince of Yan's Mansion?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zheng He nodded and said, "That's right. Later, I heard about something. Zhang Yan was originally a spy and inserted it in during Hongwu, so he has never been suspected."

"It's hidden so deeply!" Zhu Gaoxu sighed.

"No?" Zheng He said, "If Zhang Yan hadn't died himself, it would have been hard to be discovered."

Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously: "How did he die?"

Zheng He thought for a while and said, "Master Daoyan and others investigated the traitor Ge Cheng and got some clues from the mouth of the traitor Ge Cheng, so they captured the monk Xukong from Huiju Temple. Xukong was beaten to death and refused to recognize him. Yuan Changshi (Yuan Gong) sent someone to investigate his origins and found that the monk had already married and had children before he became a monk!

Yuan Changshi sent someone to secretly bring Xu Kong's wife and children to Peking... Later, he was about to use Xu Kong's wife and children to force him to submit, asking him to confess whether he was a spy and know something.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Dianpu Zhangyan did something bad!”

Zheng He paused and continued, "Zhang Yan found a doctor and pretended to go into the cell to see the injury of Monk Xukong, and took the opportunity to hide his dagger in his arms. After Zhang Yan entered, he locked the cell first, and then stabbed Monk Xukong for more than ten consecutive stabs! He killed Xukong on the spot! Zhang Yan drank poisonous wine in the cell again, and died."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu kept nodding: "So that's it."

Zheng He said again: "I just asked someone to show the injury to Monk Xukong, and Master Daoyan is also Master Daoyan. This is really hard to guard against. No one expected that Zhang Yan was actually a spy! This matter is even more troublesome, and the doctor was arrested..."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "Kill someone to silence him? The traitor Zhang Yan is not to protect himself, otherwise his best way is to escape by himself, rather than killing him to silence him."

Zheng He gave a thumbs up and said, "King Gaoyang is a sensible person, he thinks things so quickly!"

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll just say it casually. I don't care about these things. Hey, it's getting late! Say goodbye, Eunuch Zheng stay."
