Chapter 1: Entering Beijing alone (1)

The carriage galloped on the official road, and only he was allowed to enter Beijing by himself in the imperial edict. Naturally, he could not let Zhou Yingning and the others take risks with him, so he was accompanied by three people, one of Shi Kefa, one of Xiong Hu and Wang Chengen. One of these three people could give him advice. If there was a situation, there was someone to discuss. The other was Xiong Hu. She had martial arts skills and could deal with emergencies. She was familiar with the situation in Beijing. In addition, she became the established candidate for this trip to Beijing. The other was to take care of her food and daily life along the way. With the carefully selected guards, there were only a dozen people who came to Beijing with the eunuch who announced the order.

Autumn is a rainy season. Although Shaanxi and Shandong have a severe drought today, it does not mean that other places are also drought. When they enter Hebei, the sky begins to become darker. Then the drizzle of autumn rain begins, which brings great trouble to Zhu Yinglong and his group who are rushing back to Beijing. The eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict kept urging him to rush to the road, but this series is rainy and even the official road is muddy, so he can't walk fast. Zhu Yinglong doesn't care about these things. The slower he walks, the better. It just gives him time to think while giving orders to Zhou Huaian and Lu Haotian to calmly arrange the matters after entering Beijing.

News kept spreading from the capital to Zhu Yinglong's hands. Li Yongzhen's situation in recent times has aroused his ideas. This celebrity who was once Wei Zhongxian, who has been demoted to the position again and again since he returned to the palace. In just one month, he was demoted to the ninth level, from a fifth-rank eunuch Si Libingbi to a guardian eunuch with no official or rank. He is also the first person in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that Wei Zhongxian has been benevolent enough to kill him. This is a chess piece, and it depends on how to use it. So Zhou Huaian was asked to pay close attention to Li Yongzhen's every move.

Except for the secret camp's troops sneaking into the city of Beijing, the other four camps were scattered by Lu Haotian to several counties around Zhili. These people were originally the deepest hidden White Lotus Sect members from all walks of life, otherwise they would have been surrounded and suppressed by the official army. Under Lu Haotian's secret planning, they quietly purchased a lot of industries in each county, and many of them had legitimate identities. This made it even less likely to be exposed. Moreover, the White Lotus Sect has their own set of hidden and communication methods, which were unexpectedly discovered by people from the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang.

In order to ensure the smoothness of intelligence, Zhu Yinglong instructed Zhou Huaian to establish an intelligence line that connects north to Ningyuan and south to Kaifeng. This is also the lifeline that Zhu Yinglong relies on. With such an intelligence line, he can gain the lead in information and intelligence, achieve the goal of taking the initiative, and continuously expanding to both sides with this line as the center, which forms a regional intelligence network. Zhu Yinglong himself summarized it as "point, line, and network intelligence network construction framework plan."

So far, this plan has been implemented quite well. After being incorporated into the intelligence network of the former Shandong Bailian Sect, it has developed rapidly and has initially formed an intelligence network with the Yangtze River as the dividing line. Zhou Huaian is a very good intelligence talent, meticulous and meticulous. In addition, Zhou Qiyuan, a fake master, has become more wings. Zhou Huaian is mature and steady, and Zhou Qiyuan is good at sleekness and flexibility. The two are very complementary. Zhu Yinglong is used to calling them "Shadow Double Weeks" and relies very heavily on them.

The autumn wind was rustling and the trees withered, which was in line with Zhu Yinglong's mood at this time. He remembered the warmth of Xu Ruying on the last night. Although the two of them did nothing, they hugged them like this. Perhaps they were leaving. Xu Ruying was so gentle to herself, quiet and warm, and the feelings just flowed between them.

"You won't leave me and the child in your stomach, right?" After a long time, Xu Ruying stuck out her hands and stroked the angular face on her face, and murmured gently.

"No." Zhu Yinglong hugged tightly and said firmly. Logically speaking, the man had already been surging with lust and ate it in one bite, but he didn't have any lust. He just wanted to hug it like this, and the imperial edict came as expected, but he never expected that he would come to Beijing immediately. He didn't know if he could come back this time.

"Let's stop fighting, okay?" Xu Ruying said inexplicably. Since she was pregnant, her mood changed. She used to follow her father to overthrow this corrupt Ming Dynasty. She never expected that she would marry a prince of the Ming Dynasty whom she wanted to overthrow. It really happened that things were unpredictable and emotional matters were simply elusive. Not only did she marry, she was completely captured by that man, fell in love with him and was pregnant with his child. From a mother's perspective, what she hoped was that her husband would live a peaceful life with her children. How could she not see her husband's ambition, otherwise she would not have conquered Shandong Bailian Sect with such sharp means, and even gave him a clean meal.

"No?" Zhu Yinglong lowered his head and sniffed the faint fragrance of osmanthus that could not be emitted from her hair, and smiled bitterly: "At this point, we have no way out!"

Xu Ruying closed her eyes and quietly felt the warmth coming from behind. Women need care. She is used to this kind of care.

After a long time, Xu Ruying opened her eyes, turned around, and asked in Zhu Yinglong's eyes: "You name the child, maybe the child was born when you came back."

"Okay." Zhu Yinglong did not refuse this time. He didn't know if he could come back now. If he couldn't name his own flesh and blood, wouldn't it be an extraordinary regret if he had a different body and head. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while and said, "Just call him Xu Ying, boy and girl's name are suitable."

"Ruying wants this child to take your surname." Xu Ruying suddenly hugged Zhu Yinglong tightly and said.

"Ying'er, but I have promised you that the child is your surname Xu." Zhu Yinglong couldn't figure out what she was thinking in her heart and said blankly.

"If the child's surname is Xu, you can't come back. I don't want this child's surname Xu anymore. I want you to come back safely!" Xu Ruying's powerful answer made the blood in Zhu Yinglong's blood vessels hot. This was more touching than saying ten thousand words "I love you". Zhu Yinglong pierced Xu Ruying's sob head in his arms, and his cold cherry lips were sublimated in the passionate kiss, which lasted forever.

"Prince, it's time for you to rest." A rather resentful voice planned Zhu Yinglong's sweet thoughts.

Xiong Hu has actually been standing behind Zhu Yinglong for a long time. She saw a affectionate, gentle, focused and quiet prince. Her heartbeat accelerated without any effort. What kind of face is this? What kind of face is he thinking? Will it be me? Oh, how could she have such thoughts? Haven’t you forgotten him and have not given up on him?

"Oh, I understand, you should rest early, and you will have to hurry tomorrow." Zhu Yinglong said absent-mindedly to Xiong Hu.

Xiong Hu heard his seemingly caring but indifferent words, and his heart was even more miserable. He never liked her in his heart, and he still couldn't forget him. Why is this? From his first sentence "I want her", this man walked into Xiong Hu's heart. No man had ever said such words to her. That unquestionable domineeringness actually appeared in a teenage boy, especially his slightly face was completely written into her mind. She was both ashamed and ashamed at the time.

Urgent, how could he say such words? Since then, she fell deeper and deeper until she mustered up the courage to express her feelings, but she was silent indifference. How could she bear the humiliation like this? So she began to wrap herself up and protect herself. Unfortunately, this layer of ice melted a little whenever she was alone, forcing her to repair it continuously, and gradually formed the current state, which turned into ice, and ice melted again and again. This was repeated over and over again, causing greater harm. Poor that this pair of lovers still don’t understand why this is so!
