Before noon, Zhu Gaoxu had already taken a car from the outer city and entered Taiping Gate.

He went to Ma Enhui's Yanque Lake residence in the morning. Ma Enhui lived there and might feel deserted during the festival. Zhu Gaoxu went to visit her in person today, and she was indeed very surprised and relieved.

The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most atmosphere, but Zhu Gaoxu has a banquet at night and can only leave the palace during the day.

At both ends of Taiping Bridge on the Xiangxiang River, candles and lanterns have been hung in the attic, which are only lit at night, called "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival". Without the lighting, there is still something missing on the lively streets at this time.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was riding slowly on the side of the carriage, left the team, bent down on the side of the road, and talked with a man in a commoner. Zhu Gaoxu was watching the scenery, but ignored them.

After a while, Zhang Sheng returned to the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Sir, three Japanese are wandering around, among which there is Qiu Yuezhi."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered the Japanese woman. He felt it was a bit difficult before, so he ignored it, but almost forgot it.

Today he was in a very relaxed mood and could be happy if he occasionally left the palace for a walk. After Zhang Sheng reminded him, Zhu Gaoxu was in a hurry and said, "Stop after crossing the bridge."

Zhang Sheng received the order.

A group of civilians guarded the carriage and stopped by a wall at the bridge. Zhu Gaoxu walked down and pointed at Zhang Sheng and a military general of the Jinyiwei beside him and said, "You two and I, others will go back first."

The eunuch Wang Gui stepped forward and was about to speak. Zhu Gaoxu said straight away: "If you follow me, no matter how stupid you are, you can guess what I am."

"Yes." Wang Gui said hurriedly.

The three of them walked away from a cross street, and Zhang Sheng led the way to find him.

There are many people on the street today, but the Japanese dresses are different. As long as they see them, they will definitely be able to recognize them. After they walked around for a while, Zhang Sheng suddenly said in a deep voice: "It's them."

Zhu Gaoxu looked around and found the Japanese. They were walking in the direction of Zhu Gaoxu across the street. Many passers-by were watching the three foreigners in a strange outfit.

Zhu Gaoxu's expression was a little strange, and his eyes were attracted for a moment. Unexpectedly, the woman offered by the Ouchi clan was so beautiful, so she must not be the one she asked for casually.

The woman was petite, but she had a beautiful side. Under her tied hair, her round face was fair and beautiful, and her eyes were shining brightly. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't appreciate this little girl with any face shape, eyes, or shape and color, because she had a special feeling.

She was wearing a pink narrow-sleeved robe, and she did not carry the pillow-like thing on her waist. It seemed that the kimono was also changing. There were very few ornaments on her body, and there was only one hairpin at first glance. There was a symbol pattern on the robe like a family emblem: five-petal flower. She was also carrying a cloth bag in her hand.

The people walked diagonally across the street. Zhu Gaoxu did not turn around and continued to walk across the street. After a while, he turned around and continued to wander along the street.

Zhang Sheng and the other two followed, without saying much.

Zhu Gaoxu did not act rashly, after all, it was embarrassing to pick up a sudden conversation. He followed several streets slowly, gradually feeling a little boring, so he prepared to go back.

At this moment, a man suddenly bumped into a Japanese man. The Japanese reacted very quickly and actually avoided it. He turned around and cursed.

With a sound, the half-baby who was squatting on the roadside suddenly jumped up and grabbed the cloth bag in Qiu Yuezhi's hand.

The boy grabbed the cloth bag and pulled it, but it didn't take it away. Qiu Yuezhi let out a cry, her wrist seemed to be entangled by the cloth bag belt, and the person was pulled back and turned around. Her face was pale and she looked at a loss, and she did not react at all.

The boy immediately grabbed it hard again, Qiu Yuezhi exclaimed in surprise, and one staggered and almost fell down. He watched helplessly, and the boy ran towards the crowd in the middle of the street. The two Japanese near her were a little distance away, but when they saw the situation, they did not catch the boy; one of them chased out, and the other protected Qiu Yuezhi behind him.

Zhang Sheng turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu. But Zhu Gaoxu did not indicate anything, so Zhang Sheng continued to stand without moving.

Qiu Yuezhi stood there blankly, her face frightened, and she showed a sad look. She bit her lips and showed a somewhat obvious white tiger teeth, but she didn't cry.

Zhu Gaoxu observed her and suddenly felt that Qiu Yuezhi could not be an assassin at all. After all, in emergencies, people can easily reveal their true colors; unless the two thieves arranged in advance, they would know as long as they caught them.

Zhu Gaoxu walked towards them at this time, and then he heard a man and a woman saying something that he couldn't understand. The short middle-aged man should be a warrior, so he turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu and others who walked up to him.

"Miss Qiuyue, aren't you injured?" Zhu Gaoxu pointed at her wrist and said.

Both of them showed a surprised expression. Qiu Yuezhi could speak Chinese slowly. She bowed to Zhu Gaoxu and said, "It's not a serious problem, it's just that the things were stolen. Who are you?"

Zhu Gaoxu bowed and said, "I am Wang Shan, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites. Is this the Japanese envoy General Maori?"

The middle-aged man also understood Chinese and bowed and said, "That's right."

"Where there are many people, it is inevitable that the fish and dragons will be mixed together. The two of them are frightened." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Can the lost things be valuable?"

Qiuyue said: "In addition to a little gold, silver and copper coins, there is also a belt embroidered by hand. It was originally intended to give the gift to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but it was a pity. I just finished the work and forgot to take it out. It would be great if I put it in the room of Huitong Hall early in the morning."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I know my colleagues from Yingtian Mansion and ask someone to investigate immediately. It should be possible to find them back. You know, everyone is in the officialdom and has many acquaintances."

Qiuyue bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Wang."

"As for the matter, the officials of the Ministry of Rites should be responsible for taking care of you, but everyone is on holiday today." Zhu Gaoxu said, and after saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng immediately folded his fists and bowed, leaving silently.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the teahouse next to him and said, "I'll treat you. Let's find a table above, drink a cup of tea and use some snacks, and maybe you can wait for the search results."

Qiu Yuezhi hurriedly said, "We should repay Lord Wang."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "There is always a distinction between a host and a guest."

At this time, Maori spoke, "The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are separated, right?"

"Go upstairs and talk about it in detail." Zhu Gaoxu took the lead.

This place is a bustling city with people coming and going, and the restaurant is also a public place, so Zhu Gaoxu doesn't need to explain. Sure enough, Maori and Qiu Yuezhi followed him.

The three of them sat down by the window, while the generals of the Jinyiwei next to Zhu Gaoxu sat down at another table

. Zhu Gaoxu said: "I have to find the Shangguan of the Ministry of Rites to reimburse him. This is considered to be a treat of the Gentile envoys."

Qiu Yuezhi smiled, and Sadashi Mori's expression was not so serious.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "My father gave birth to two sons, half-brother. I have been strong since I was a child, but my elder brother was thinner. My father arranged for my elder brother to study literature and asked me to practice martial arts and martial arts. Unexpectedly, I loved studying since I was a child, but my elder brother loved to dance with swords and guns. Later, neither of us fulfilled my father's wish. What kind of person is like depends on what kind of heart he has."

Maori was skeptical. Qiu Yuezhi found it very interesting, and it could be seen from her eyes.

After the speech stopped, Qiu Yuezhi came to her senses, hurriedly showed a polite smile, and lowered her head gently. At this time, the waiter brought the tea and two plates of dried desserts and fruits.

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while. After the waiter finished speaking, he asked, "Since it is a gift to the Lord, why not put it in the tribute?"

Qiu Yuezhi said: "That will become an ordinary silk satin. It took me a long time to embroider it."

"It makes sense." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Qiu Yuezhi asked, "Have you ever met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You can often see it in the morning court."

Qiu Yuezhi looked at Maori carefully and said softly: "What does the emperor look like?"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered some of the things he had talked about when he was newly married to Guo Wei. He looked embarrassed: "This... I don't want to discuss the appearance of the emperor. The emperor is very majestic and has a beautiful face, which makes people afraid, respect and fear. Officials like me dare not say anything."

His words were very subtle, but he was full of beard and was afraid when he looked. Qiuyue should understand. Sure enough, she showed a complicated expression and was a little dazzled.

When she came to her senses, she smiled politely again, but it was a bit like a bitter smile.

Zhu Gaoxu saw it and whispered: "The emperor can carry a tripod at the age of ten. Mongolia in the north and Annan in the south, the emperor has personally fought for it, and is invincible and is different from ordinary people."

Qiu Yuezhi murmured: "It doesn't matter what, it's okay. I should go back to Japan. We have been in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and the emperor should not be interested in me."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "What if the Lord remembered it one day?"

Qiu Yuezhi smiled bitterly and said, "That is also my responsibility. My responsibility is to serve the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and strive to be favored; so that when Qiu Yuezhi and Da Nei need help, the emperor can provide help for my dedicated service. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty needs Da Nei, and Qiu Yuezhi is an alliance, and can also contact me."

"Ahem..." Maori coughed twice. Qiuyue immediately glanced at Maori. Seeing that Maori's face was not facing her side, she quietly rolled her eyes at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Miss Qiuyue is beautiful and wise, and her mind is very clear. There is nothing wrong with thinking like this. Maybe I can find an opportunity to let the eunuch in the palace recommend Miss Qiuyue's beauty to the emperor."

Maori seemed to be interested and asked, "I'm so rude. What level of official is the doctor of the Ministry of Rites?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I am a civil servant who is not big or small, but I know Cao Fu, the young supervisor of Sili, who is white and fat, and has a round face."

"I seem to have seen it." Qiu Yuezhi said in surprise.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "It's better to see it, I will recommend it to you when the time comes."
