Early the next morning, it was still dark.
Outside the Qingfeng Pavilion, Wang Bao and other eunuchs had already made preparations and arrived outside Zhao Hongming's bedroom, looking at each other in shock.
The current time is when the masters are sleeping soundly.
If the master is forced to get up, some good-tempered masters will be scolded for a while, while a bad-tempered master will inevitably be beaten.
They had never asked His Highness to get up at this hour, and they didn't know what his temper would be.
Just when everyone was hesitant, Gao Yanshi took the initiative to stand up and shouted bravely: "Your Highness, there is news from the clan's mansion, let us set off now."
Zhao Hongming's light voice came from the bedroom: "Okay, I understand, come in and undress me."
There was no scolding as expected. Gao Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will come in right now."
He turned around and waved, calling the other young eunuchs to enter Zhao Hongming's bedroom together.
In fact, Zhao Hongming can stay up all night without losing energy.
On weekdays, he only sleeps for two or three hours.
Zhao Hongming heard footsteps as early as when Gao Yanshi and the others arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion.
By the time they walked outside the door, he was already awake.
After entering the room, these little eunuchs began to freshen up Zhao Hongming and organize the necessities that he needed to take away from the room.
They have been professionally trained, and their movements are very fast, and they can clean up everything neatly in about a quarter of an hour.
Zhao Hongming took the long knife hanging on the wall and walked out of the bedroom. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and turned back to Gao Yanshi and said, "What's your name?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hongming's inquiry, Gao Yanshi hurriedly said: "Report to Your Highness, my servant Xiao Gao."
"I ask for your name."
name?
Is this a settlement of accounts?
Gao Yanshi knelt down in fear and said, "My name is Gao Yanshi."
"Yanshi, go and bring the books on the bedside for me."
After saying that, Zhao Hongming strode out.
Gao Yanshi immediately reacted and knew that he had received Zhao Hongming's attention. He was immediately flattered and said: "Yes."
He stood up like a spring, rushed to Zhao Hongming's bedside, found the torn blue books, found a square box, put it in, and followed him.
When the other young eunuchs saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel that Gao Yanshi was really unlucky, with envy and sourness in their eyes.
Gao Yanshi turned a blind eye to these glances, lowered his head and followed Zhao Hongming.
Zhao Hongming glanced at Gao Yanshi casually.
Just now, when everyone else was hesitating, he was the only one who dared to stand up and call him to get up.
He felt that the young eunuch Gao Yanshi was quite clever and courageous.
Now he is subject to many restrictions in the palace, and there are very few people around him, so he is given a chance.
See if he is someone who can be cultivated.
After walking out of Qingfeng Pavilion (East Fifth Institute), a four-horse carriage was already waiting outside the door.
Outside the door, Wang Bao and Chang Wubing were standing at the door, waiting for Zhao Hongming.
The two said in unison: "Your Highness! The servants (subordinates) are all ready and ready to go at any time."
Zhao Hongming nodded and said, "Let's go now."
"yes."
There was a blanket inside the carriage, and there was a small table with an incense burner and some snacks on it.
Zhao Hongming can sit or lie down inside.
He walked into the carriage, sat down with his long knife across his knees, and the carriage started slowly.
The other servants followed closely behind the carriage, jogging at a small pace.
Zhao Hongming approached the window, blocked the curtains and asked, "Wang Bao, do you know where you are going?"
Wang Bao stepped forward and said respectfully: "Report to Your Highness, I don't know yet."
Zhao Hongming lowered the curtains and said no more.
Soon the carriage arrived at the square in front of Zhenghe Hall.
The moon and stars are sparse and the sky is unclear.
There are six teams like his.
Five of them are four-horse carriages, and only one is five-horse carriages.
According to the etiquette of the Wei state, the emperor drives six, the prince drives five, the kings drive four, the ministers and officials three, the scholars two, and the common people one.
The carriage with five carriages should be where the prince is.
Zhao Hongming took a quick glance and found that the prince's team was more than four times larger than him.
Among them, there are about ten warriors who seem to have high levels of cultivation.
After looking around, his frame was the shabbiest, and the only real martial artists were Chang Wubing and Wang Bao.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Hongming could only sigh helplessly.
We didn't wait too long in the square. Soon everyone was checking in front of the palace. Wan Youqing rushed over with the Liutun Forbidden Army and arranged them behind their respective carriages.
Each carriage was divided into a group, guarded by about a hundred troops of Imperial Guards.
However, there are some differences between the Forbidden Army and the Forbidden Army, and the strength of the village commanders seems to be uneven.
For example, the Forbidden Army assigned by His Royal Highness is obviously more sophisticated, and the strength of the Forbidden Army is also a bit stronger.
From Zhao Hongming's point of view, the man assigned to him had fair skin and no calluses on his hands, so he did not look like a highly skilled martial artist.
After Wan Youqing made sure that the number of people in each team was equal, he gave the order and walked out towards the palace gate one after another.
After walking for a while, when they were approaching the city gate, a carriage approached.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother."
Zhao Hongming heard the familiar call, blocked the curtains and looked outside, and saw Zhao Hongguang.
The latter looked excited: "We are going out of the palace this time, fifth brother, are you happy?"
Zhao Hongming smiled and said: "We are out playing again, with so many forbidden troops watching, so why should we be happy? An accident might happen, aren't you afraid?"
The Eighth Prince waved his hand and said: "There are so many forbidden troops, and my mother-in-law has found four warriors for me from her mother's family. What is there to be afraid of? Fifth brother, are you a little short of manpower?"
"That's enough." Zhao Hongming asked, "Eighth brother, do you know where we are going this time?"
"I don't know either. My mother-in-law guesses that we are going to Zhengyi Palace."
"The first palace?" Zhao Hongming thought about it carefully and realized that this possibility is very high.
After all, the Zhengyi Palace in Wei State was very powerful, so it was a suitable place of refuge.
"Ah, fifth brother, we have to go separately."
Zhao Hongming looked forward and found that the six teams had gone in different directions after leaving the palace.
"It doesn't matter, I'll see you again soon. Have a good trip, eighth brother."
"Fifth brother, you too."
Zhao Hongming watched the Eighth Prince's team part ways with him and walked in another direction.
"Your Highness, there seems to be someone waiting for Your Highness in front of our motorcade."
Chang Wubing stood on the side of the carriage, leaned closer and whispered.
Zhao Hongming looked in the direction Chang Wubing pointed and saw a woman wearing a smart outfit with a long knife hanging on her waist, riding a horse and waiting.
Chen Xuerong? !
Why is she here?
The village chief of our motorcade stepped forward and had a chat with Chen Xuerong.
After Chen Xuerong took out a token, he let her into the team.
She rode close to Zhao Hongming's frame.
Zhao Hongming blocked the curtains and saw Chen Xuerong's familiar pretty face. He was quite surprised and said, "Miss Chen, why are you here?"
"His Highness is leaving the palace, and the road is not safe. I plan to escort His Highness for a while."
Zhao Hongming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss Chen is interested."
Chen Xuerong nodded slightly, straightened up her proud chest, and walked beside the carriage with her horse.
