"ah?"
Chen Kan was a little confused. Is Zhu Gaoxu showing off his brain?
"Why are you standing there? Get in the car, or are you planning to walk there?"
Zhu Gaoxu got on the carriage again.
Looking at the carriage in front of him, Chen Kan hesitated.
From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to have anything to do with the future prince who was turned into a chicken in a crock pot by the Emperor Cricket.
But now I have no power.
If it offends his face, I wonder if he will fall out?
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, the two guards with sinister faces, Chen Kan reluctantly got into the carriage.
"Forget it, he who knows the current affairs is a hero."
After comforting himself, Chen Kan huddled in the corner of the carriage and tried his best to keep himself silent.
Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu did not continue to ask.
The carriage slowly left Shibafang and headed towards Jude Tower on the edge of the Qinhuai River.
Two grown men sitting in a carriage made Chen Kan feel very uncomfortable.
I always think of words like secret room and tram.
It is said that Zhu Gaoxu is cruel and easy to kill, has a cruel personality, and most importantly, he is not taboo on meat and vegetables.
My little arms and legs, what if...
Thinking of the terrible consequences, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel shocked.
Thin beads of sweat broke out from his forehead unconsciously.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then he cursed in a low voice: "The weather in Jiangnan is so damn hot."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and untied his robe.
Chen Kan watched him take off his robe and throw it into another corner of the carriage.
He looked horrified for a moment.
Damn it, he was on a stolen boat, no, he was stolen from a car!
Pills, help~
"Your Highness, Jude Tower has arrived."
The guard's clanging voice was no less than the sound of nature to Chen Kan at this time.
Chen Kan jumped out of the carriage and glanced at the guard appreciatively.
Not to mention, even the guard's face turned into a symbol of security.
The guard scratched his head.
This Mr. Chen looks at me very strangely.
Could it be?
Hiss~
The guard calmly took a step back and distanced himself from Chen Kan.
Zhu Gaoxu opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
Frowning, he said, "It's better to stay in Peiping, because the weather in Jinling is terrible."
Jude Tower is a place where dignitaries from Jinling City often gather. The waiter at the door can tell the identity of the person coming at a glance.
Not to mention that Zhu Gaoxu is a frequent visitor to Jude Building.
When Zhu Gaoxu got off the carriage, two waiters came up to him from a distance.
He nodded and bowed and said: "His Royal Highness the County Prince is here to welcome you. Jude Tower is full of radiance. Your Majesty, please invite me to the private room upstairs!"
"As usual, I am hosting a banquet for friends today and will arrange a table of delicious dishes."
Zhu Gaoxu gave a faint order and took Chen Kan up to the second floor in a familiar manner.
He came to a private room next to the Qinhuai River and sat down.
The boy waiting at the door quickly propped up the window to allow Zhu Gaoxu to have a wider view.
As soon as Chen Kan and Zhu Gaoxu sat down, the shopkeeper nodded and bowed and entered the private room carrying a porcelain bottle that was still steaming white.
"Your Majesty, the food will be ready soon. Let's drink some sweet wine to cool off the heat."
After saying that, he put the porcelain bottle on the table, didn't dare to stay any longer, and bowed down to exit the private room.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't have any maid with him today, so Chen Kan had to do the task of pouring the sweet wine.
Mainly, Chen Kan didn't dare to let Zhu Gaoxu pour him wine.
After taking two porcelain cups, Chen Kan poured a cup for Zhu Gaoxu.
Said: "Your Highness, please!"
Then he filled himself a glass and drank it all.
A chill slid from the mouth to the stomach, then fell to the soles of the feet, and finally rose back to Tianling Gai.
Then the sweetness of rice wine mixed with osmanthus, and the fragrance of honeysuckle exploded in the mouth.
Chen Kan couldn't help but shiver.
"My heart is chilled, my heart is flying, it's so refreshing!"
Chen Kan sighed with emotion and filled another cup for Zhu Gaoxu.
Sweet wine is a drink unique to the South.
During the Ming Dynasty, high-strength liquor became popular.
But Jiangnan people don’t like to drink spicy things, but they are particularly fond of this sour and sweet rice wine.
After drinking the cold sweet wine, the two of them immediately felt the heat disappear.
The exquisite dishes were served like water.
Chen Kan also put down his guard and began to enjoy his meal.
Zhu Gaoxu is a real person. If he says he invites Chen Kan to a meal, he really means inviting Chen Kan to a meal.
But he himself sat there drinking glass after glass of sweet wine without even looking at the food on the table.
In his busy schedule, Chen Kan took the time to look at Zhu Gaoxu and asked curiously: "Your Highness, don't you want to eat?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head: "The weather is too hot and I have no appetite. You can eat."
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Seeing that Chen Kan had almost finished eating, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Can we talk now?"
Chen Kan raised his head and asked, "What did you say?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Why are you always so lucky?"
Chen Kan said: "Who knows, why don't you ask me why I am so unlucky?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "This time, everyone thought that you were in a certain death situation, and I was already prepared to plead with my father on the execution ground for you. But who could have expected that you could actually convince Fang Xiaoru , it’s incredible.”
"Perhaps God will not let me go, or maybe the Lord of Hell is unwilling to accept me."
Chen Kan shrugged.
As for what Zhu Gaoxu said about being ready to plead for himself, just listen to it and don't take it seriously.
Chen Kan would not think that his friendship with Zhu Gaoxu was serious enough for him to disobey Zhu Di for him.
Zhu Gaoxu did not continue to dwell on this topic. He changed his tone and asked, "Chen Kan, I remember you are eighteen years old this year, right?"
Chen Kan was a little surprised. Why did Zhu Gaoxu suddenly ask about his age?
He nodded and said, "Yes."
Zhu Gaoxu muttered: "My father will ascend the throne tomorrow. Do you know what day today is?"
"What day?"
Zhu Gaoxu put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "The day when Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng are executed."
Chen Kan paused with the chopsticks in his hand, and then responded calmly: "Oh! What does it have to do with me?"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed dumbly and said: "That's right."
Then he said seriously: "Chen Kan, as the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier. Tomorrow my father will ascend the throne, and the history of the Ming Dynasty will open a new page. Are you willing to participate and see how the Ming Dynasty came to be under my father's rule? appearance?"
Chen Kan frowned: "What does your Highness mean by this?"
"Chen Kan, this king wants to recommend you to be an official. Are you willing?"
After going around for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu finally stated his purpose of coming to see Chen Kan today.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
What does Zhu Gaoxu mean?
He is an emperor and a courtier, and he wants to recommend himself as an official.
Is he already planning something?
But now, Zhu Di has not yet ascended the throne.
