Chapter 80 News from Texas

When he just returned to Peking, Princess Xu kept Zhu Gaoxu for dinner. Zhu Gaoxu politely declined and said he would take a few days to go... When he said this, it was just an excuse, but after a few days he actually went there.

I remember the scenery I saw in Nanjing was so beautiful, but now Zhu Gaoxu was riding a horse in the city of Peking, but his eyes were full of gray. The neighbors were also straight and vertical, very monotonous.

Only the red walls of the Yan Prince's Mansion add a bit of bright color to the city of Beiping.

Zhu Gaoxu entered the Yan Palace and met Princess Xu first. However, Xu Miaojin was beside him, so he didn't ask anything and just talked about family matters. At the hour of You, Princess Xu kept Zhu Gaoxu for dinner again, and Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the situation to agree.

I have never seen Xu Miaojin and the Princess of Yan and the Princess have had dinner together, and today is no exception.

It was still in that luxurious dining room, with round tables placed in the middle, exquisite cloud brocade tables, and various expensive objects were placed around them. The colorful pictures of ladies on the walls made people forget the withering of the grass outside for a while.

After the dishes were arranged, King Yan hurried into the dining room. Zhu Gaoxu and others stood up and bowed.

"Sit, sit down." King Yan said casually. He walked to the top and took his seat first, and Zhu Gaoxu and others sat down one after another.

King Yan glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "I heard that Gao Xu came to have a meal, otherwise he wouldn't come back to eat. He was busy."

Princess Xu said with a smile: "Look, the prince is still thinking about you very much. But after the battle starts, he is usually too busy."

"My sons and others understand the father," said Zhu Gaoxu.

Needless to say, Princess Xu, Zhu Gaoxu could feel that the King of Yan attaches importance to him. As a father, King of Yan has already given face... On the battlefield, Zhu Gaoxu held his head and fought for him, which is not a vain.

Princess Xu also speaks appropriately. She is a lady from a noble family. She has not compared other children, but Zhu Gaoxu could imagine that other brothers and sisters would not be treated like this.

The King of Yan said again, "Sheng Yong left Jinan City and came to capture Dezhou again! The official army captured and recovered many prefectures and counties, and advanced step by step to the north."

"Prince, are you going to go to war again?" Princess Xu asked immediately.

The King of Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry about the princess, this time is different from before. Li Jinglong had hundreds of thousands of troops, including many elite cavalry; what are Sheng Yong's hands now?"

The King of Yan paused and sneered: "Sheng Yong doesn't even have decent cavalry in his hands. I'll see how he fights."

Zhu Gaoxu was unquestionable and could not predict... On the one hand, he agreed with what the King of Yan said, that cavalry was a weapon of killing in this era! Cavalry may not be invincible, but if you have to deal with cavalry, you can't beat them; you can't beat them. The horse team's mobility and combat power are not bad, and there are no obvious weaknesses.

If infantry is not really weak against cavalry, then why do they build so many heavy walls in the north?

But on the other hand, when he was fighting Geng Bingwen at Zhending City, Zhu Gaoxu was almost surrounded to death. Sheng Yong left a deep impression on him with his infantry level! If Sheng Yong had elite infantry, it would still be difficult to deal with.

Zhu Gaoxu refused to comment on the war, turned to look at Princess Xu, and said in a very relaxed tone, "I heard that my aunt is refining elixirs. Did the elixir materials be bought by people from the royal palace?"

Princess Xu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and the meaning contained in her eyes was unclear. It was probably because she thought Zhu Gaoxu was very concerned about her aunt... but Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about so much.

Princess Xu said, "Most people in the royal palace believe in Buddhism, how can they understand Taoist elixirs? There is a Chi Yue Temple in Xicheng, which was rebuilt Jing Qing's mansion in Peiping. There were twenty or thirty female Taoist priests in it. They could prepare things. By the way, outside the Xicheng, there is the Baiyun Temple of Quanzhen Sect, which is a great Taoist temple with very complete things."

"I understand." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

There are a few names he is familiar with in Princess Xu's words. Many people have read martial arts books in their previous lives, and those who have not read them have also watched TV series...but the contents of the Quanzhen Sect and the martial arts books here are very different. Qiu Chuji is not a national hero, but it is actually highly valued by the Yuan Dynasty court. Such religious people only want to become immortals, and political tendencies are a waste of time to cultivate immortals. Yin Zhiping is not that lustful, but he is a very powerful Quanzhen Sect disciple. He is a bit unfair. If he knows the reputation of his later generations, he might be able to jump out of the grave.

When the dishes came up, Zhu Gaoxu stopped mentioning his aunt.

After dinner, he saw that it was getting late, so he hurriedly said goodbye. When he walked out of the Yan Prince's Mansion, the road was almost impossible to see clearly. In autumn in Peking, he could feel that the daylight was getting shorter and shorter.

Just now, the King of Yan mentioned the war. Zhu Gaoxu guessed that he could not stay in Peiping for long. Every time the King of Yan went on a war, he almost always personally fought. Zhu Gaoxu, as his powerful general, had to accompany him.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Wang Gui and others holding lanterns, he suddenly felt that Wang Gui was still safe in doing things.

When he returned to the mansion, Wang Gui followed and said, "Do you still remember the "bin" wine shop in Kuanghan City? The house in that shop came from Dian, and the lease period was coming soon. Have you gone to the owner of the wine shop to renew the rent?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought, Zhang Xin knew that place, and now Zhang Xin is following the leader of the King of Yan... The secret of the wine shop no longer exists.

He said, "No need. Just deal with it."

"Yes." Wang Gui said, "then I will find someone to take over first. If I can't find it, I will sell the things inside."

Zhu Gaoxu stood still and said, "No one is willing to pick up the shop. You can find a few people in the mansion to sell things, and you can get a few dollars. You don't have to go, I have something else to do."

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "Please give instructions to the prince's mansion."

"Go to the study inside." Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.

The two entered the study room and closed the door. Zhu Gaoxu walked around the bookshelf and sat down at the desk. Wang Gui stood beside him, bowing and waiting for the order, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted Wang Gui to watch Chi Yueguan, but he felt it was inappropriate... What if Xu Miaojin did not go to Chi Yueguan, but went to Baiyunguan?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want others to know about this, after all, everything was still to be verified; he didn't want Xu Miaojin to be suddenly suspected and fall into the hands of Yao Guangxiao and his group.

Wang Gui's godson Cao Fu seems to be able to trust him, but only two people are still not enough.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and rubbed his forehead for a while, and finally said, "Wang Gui, go to the north gate of the Yanwang Mansion to stare. When my aunt Xu Miaojin left the Prince's Mansion, she followed her to see what she did. She is a female Taoist priest, and she must have worn a veil when she goes out. But there are no other Taoist priests in the Yanwang Mansion, you have a good idea... This matter must be kept secret!"

He described Xu Miaojin's height again.

Wang Gui said: "I obey the order."

This matter can only be a chance... There are four gatehouses in and out of the Yan Palace. Thinking of Xu Miaojin living in the inner hall of the palace, the possibility of leaving the north gate is relatively large. There is not enough manpower and there is no way. For example, in later generations, only one person is followed, and two or three people do things that can be done in detail.
