Zhu Neng was very excited and grabbed Hongyuan: "Tell me, you monk, have you robbed King Xiang's things? Where is His Highness King Xiang?!!"
Hongyuan cried: "Amitabha, it's a sin. The poor monk also wanted to leave with King Xiang. But His Highness said that the poor monk could not leave without taking his disciple first. He told the poor monk that he must send this to His Highness King Yan still has a few words in his hand that the poor monk should tell His Highness King Yan himself."
Chen Heng did not dare to be careless and immediately took Hongyuan back to Peiping.
When Zhu Di heard that Hongyuan was coming, he and Daoyan ran to the door to greet him.
Hongyuan saw Doyan burst into tears.
Dao Yan sighed: "Oh, Master, you have suffered."
There has been no news about Hongyuan for several years. They all guessed that Hongyuan was either dead or imprisoned by Zhu Ming.
Hongyuan told the story in detail.
Zhu Xi felt a chill in his back, and gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Qin would be so cruel and stupid now."
Hongyuan: "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang said, please tell His Highness the King of Yan not to worry and not to look for him. Just wait for him in Peking."
Zhu Di: "How can I not worry, how can I not look for him?!"
Hongyuan took out the sign and handed it to Zhu Di: "His Royal Highness King Xiang said that His Highness King Yan must be anxious and would not believe the poor monk's words. So he asked the poor monk to bring this to His Highness. He said that Wang Baobao would keep him in exchange for food. Absolutely It will not hurt him. If His Highness comes looking for him, it will anger Wang Baobao and put his life at risk. He will have his own way to escape."
Zhu Di glanced at Dao Yan.
Dao Yan said: "Although King Xiang is young, he considers things very thoughtfully. If Wang Baobao wanted to harm King Xiang, there would be no need to go to great lengths to bring him back to the grassland. Besides, we have been looking for Wang Baobao for so many years but have not found him. Now he is It would be even worse for us to take advantage of King Xiang."
I found him, but I was afraid that he would hurt Zhu Bai, so I couldn't do anything, so I could only stand and get beaten.
If you can't find it, it's a futile effort and a waste of manpower and material resources.
Zhu Di sat still with his eyes lowered, and after a while he said: "I know."
Hongyuan said: "The King of Xiang also asked the poor monk to ask His Royal Highness King Yan to send a secret message to the emperor, so as to save the emperor and the queen from worrying. He also called the emperor's bluff and looked for him without raising suspicion. He will naturally come back when he has had enough fun. .”
Zhu Di clenched his fists in anger: "He said it very lightly. He thought it was still within the territory of our Ming Dynasty. Do you think you can go there wherever you want? Even if I write this to my father, my father may not be willing to believe it."
Now he knew that he had walked into the trap willingly. He just wanted to catch Zhu Bai and give him a good spanking.
She really only cares about her own happiness and doesn't care about the mood of her loved ones at all.
Hongyuan said: "His Royal Highness King Xiang also thought of it. So he asked King Yan to hand over his brand to the emperor. The emperor naturally believed it. He also said that in his absence, the emperor could appoint people with this brand. The new head of the official teeth bureau will ensure the smooth operation of the official teeth bureau.”
Zhu Di clutched the sign: Did this kid deliberately give his elder brother a chance to replace someone to take over the Guanya Bureau?
But has he ever thought that if he still holds this sign in his hand, most people will have the reason and motivation to look for him.
If he hands this sign back, some people won't want him to come back.
Dao Yan said to others: "Quickly take Master Hongyuan and his disciple down to have a rest, and find a good doctor to show him."
After Hongyuan goes down.
Dao Yan said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, don't worry. Since the King of Xiang dares to hand over this brand, he is naturally determined that no one can replace him. Perhaps, this is his strategy of retreating at the expense of advancement, and risking death to survive?"
Zhu Di glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Yes."
In fact, even from as far away as Peking, he could guess Zhu Biao's eagerness to take over the Guanya Bureau, and heard about the many actions Zhu Biao had taken.
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s just say that this time the tea-horse trade sent Li Jinglong and Zhu Bai who had no experience at all. Isn’t that obvious? The purpose is to let Li Jinglong start learning now so that he can successfully take over the Guanya Bureau in the future.
Zhu Bai probably used such an extreme and unusual method because he felt extremely annoyed and had no way to get the best of both worlds.
He was also in a difficult position on this matter.
It's best to remain silent.
Zhu Di asked: "I will write to my father to explain this matter now. Who do you think is appropriate to deliver the letter?"
Dao Yan said: "Zhu Neng, send King Yan's guards dressed as guards from the Guanya Bureau to escort him."
Zhu Di nodded: "Okay."
This guy has a bit of an ax to grind. stubborn. It's the best thing to do.
Zhu Neng heard that he was going to deliver a letter to Lao Zhu, and it was a secret message about Zhu Bai's life. He patted his chest and said to Zhu Di: "Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as Zhu Neng is still breathing, he will never let this letter fall into the hands of others." .”
The next day, Zhu Neng and ten people wearing Guanya Bureau guard clothes quietly set out from Peiping and headed south to Yingtian.
------
Over there, Li Jinglong didn't dare to delay after receiving the imperial edict and hurried back.
Ten days later he returned to Yingtian North Gate.
As soon as he entered, he was stopped by his own guard who was waiting for him at the city gate: "Master Li told the young master not to go home, but to go directly to the palace to report to the emperor before going back. He will go back to the palace gate to meet you."
Li Jinglong could only go to the palace again, tired and dusty.
He just dismounted and took up less than half the time of the incense stick.
Li Wenzhong rushed over. When he saw him, he raised his hand to signal him not to say anything.
After being led in by the eunuch, Li Wenzhong saw that the eunuch was far away from them and there was no one else around him, so he whispered: "You idiot, you are being used!!"
Li Jinglong looked unconcerned: "Father, he's overthinking it. It's Zhu Bai who wants to go out on his own. It's none of my business."
Li Wenzhong: "You can't even deceive me with these words, let alone your uncle and grandfather. He has never seen anyone. He narrowly escaped death and killed countless people to get to where he is today."
Li Jinglong's face turned pale.
Li Wenzhong said: "Do you still want to live?"
Li Jinglong nodded.
Li Wenzhong: "Don't say anything when you see my uncle. Just kneel down and cry. No matter how my uncle scolds you and beats you, don't defend yourself. Just cry. Do you hear me?"
Li Jinglong hesitated and nodded: "How can I save myself if I don't explain?"
Li Wenzhong: "You don't have to save yourself, your cousin will save you."
Li Jinglong: "What if my eldest cousin doesn't say anything?"
Li Wenzhong turned around and said coldly: "Then you can only die to apologize."
Li Jinglong shuddered.
When Li Jinglong entered, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Uncle, Jiujiang knows his fault. Jiujiang deserves to die. Jiujiang failed to protect His Highness King Xiang."
Li Wenzhong also knelt down beside him, lowering his head and saying nothing.
When Lao Zhu saw Li Jinglong's eyes bursting with tears, he stepped forward, grabbed his collar with his left hand, threw his right arm away and slapped him in the face with his big mouth: "You useless thing, it's just a hindrance, but it's also harmful." Our son is missing. I will kill you today."
