After a while, under the winery shed, there were several tables inside and were booked by Zhu Xiu and Chai Rong and his group.

Zhu Xiu and Chai Rong sat alone at a table, Wang Pu and He Hui sat at a table outside, and Hu Guangyue and other personal soldiers sat at two tables.

Zhu Xiu and Chai Rong did not drink alcohol, so the store brought two bowls of coarse tea and drank it.

He glanced at He Hui, and he also looked at him sideways, snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore it.

Zhu Xiu was secretly alert. He Hui, a dog, seemed to be doing well, and could actually gain Chai Rong's trust, and even brought him with him in private leaving the jurisdiction.

Chai Rong saw what Zhu Xiu was thinking and laughed: "He Hui is quite capable and has a good way to train and manage the army. My subordinates need such a soldier. He is also quite loyal to me. The grudges between you will be eliminated in the future and you don't need to take them to heart."

Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "Since it was the Lord's order, Zhu Xiu should obey it."

Chai Rong looked at him and said sincerely: "I still hope that you and me can get along like before, brothers and sisters, like each other, and have a heart-to-heart relationship."

Zhu Xiu bowed and said, "The brother's words are exactly what I think. In the future, if you are a prince, you will be a lord and a marquis, and you will be etiquette of the ministers.

In private, my brother is still my half-brother!”

Chai Rong was stunned, and laughed loudly and heroically.

The restaurant guests turned their heads and looked, wondering why this man smiled so happily.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Chai Rong curled his smile and said seriously: "I heard that it was Wudesi's guidance all the way, but you found this place?"

Zhu Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Li Wanchao from Songzhou came to me overnight to urge me to change the route north, for fear that I would delay my road and miss it with my brother.

The official family was awarded the title of inspector of Chanzhou, and the title of censor, and the governor of Chanzhou. Can the brother not guess the purpose of it?”

Chai Rong was silent for a while and said with a wry smile: "Father knew that I went south privately, and specially sent you to intercept me halfway, and advised me to return to Chanzhou and comfort me not to be anxious."

"Yes, the official family is exactly what it means." Zhu Xiu nodded, "Then why did the brother take the risk of leaving the jurisdiction privately?"

Chai Rong's eyes revealed hidden worries: "The father ordered Concubine De Dong to select twenty-seven daughters and offer them to the palace. In the past sixteen people have been awarded the title of Imperial Girl, nine of whom have entered the Baolin, and four of them have been awarded the title of Beauty by the Father.

In this case, there will be another concubine in the harem at the latest next year, and it is not impossible for him to join the fourth wife."

Zhu Xiu scratched his head: "The official family is in his prime, so it is not surprising that he will accept the harem..."

Chai Rong sighed: "It is a blessing that the royal family can spread their branches and leaves, but the father was definitely not a woman in the past. Now, the reason for all kinds of actions is probably... Is it...."

If you continue to discuss this kind of thing, it will be a taboo. Zhu Xiu didn't dare to say it with his mouth. He dipped his fingers into tea and wrote the word "子" on the greasy table.

Chai Rong smiled bitterly and nodded.

Mr. Guo was busy opening up the harem, just to have a few more sons.

Thinking deeper, it is not impossible to succeed the throne with the legitimate son and inherit the great Zhou dynasty.

This is the reason why Chai Rong is nervous.

For this reason, he even risked being severely punished by Guo Wei and went south privately to meet Zhu Xiu before he entered Kaifeng City.

Chai Rong's depression, worries and panic in his heart were not known to anyone else except Zhu Xiu.

Only Zhu Xiu may be able to give the most pertinent suggestions.

Zhu Xiu held his forehead with a headache.

The records about this paragraph in history are ambiguous and completely passed by historians in the Spring and Autumn style.

But it is true that Chai Rong has been unable to return to Beijing since Yedu raised an army. Guo Wei’s attitude is ambiguous, and it is also true that he recruits the harem.

In this way, it is inevitable that people will have a lot of imagination.

Guo Wei's family died in the Guangzheng Palace Incident, and all three nephews with blood were killed.

Now that Guo Wei is founded and promoted to the emperor, it is normal for him to leave behind his relatives' bloodline.

But once the emperor has his own prince, Chai Rong, the adopted eldest son, will be in a very embarrassing situation.

Chai Rong's face was a little painful, and his voice was hoarse: "I feel deeply the same as what my father thought. Who would not want to continue his bloodline? One of the descendants inherited the family business...

But my father did not allow me to return to Beijing, and he also accepted the harem. In the future, if any concubine gave birth to a prince, how will the Kaifeng court officials view me? How will my father view me?

Instead of being in a panic all day long, ending up being deposed and imprisoned, or even falling into the ground, I might as well go to Kaifeng to meet my father now and ask him to transfer me to the border and guard the border for the Great Zhou forever.

It’s better than the father and son’s rebellion in the future and the whole country is in turmoil..."

Chai Rong closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, tears of pain flashed in his blood-filled eyes.

Zhu Xiu listened silently.

In fact, his worries are quite reasonable. When Mr. Guo gave birth to his own son, there will definitely be someone in the court officials who support the establishment of the legitimate son as the heir.

At that time, there will be those who support Chai Rong and those who support the prince. Once the emperor fails, the Great Zhou will instantly fall into a dangerous situation of division and turmoil.

Even if Chai Rong was willing to give in, the soldiers and ministers gathered around him would not allow him to take a step back.

Many times, people are forced by the general trend and do things that are forced.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to reveal your heart to Guo Wei now and withdraw from the ranks of fighting for the reserve position early, which is better than becoming a sinner of the Great Zhou in the future.

Zhu Xiu's head hurts more and more, and he slapped his forehead, not knowing how to persuade Chai Rong.

Mr. Guo did not give birth to his own son even after becoming the emperor. This is the historical trajectory of his previous life, and it cannot be guaranteed that this will be the same in this life.

If Mr. Guo really makes a son come, it is really hard to say what happened next.

"This..." He is as eloquent as Zhu Xiu, and he is also awkward at this time.

Some words cannot be said explicitly, but Chai Rong must wait patiently. The degree of determination is extremely important.

Chai Rong looked at him with hope. At this crucial moment, he believed that only Zhu Xiu could dispel the haze in his heart and point out where to go.

"I have something to say, but it's okay to say it." Chai Rong reached out and patted Zhu Xiu's shoulder.

Zhu Xiu glanced at Wang Pu He Hui who was sitting next to him at the table. Wang Pu was sitting upright, and He Hui leaned over and looked sneaky, as if he wanted to eavesdrop.

Seeing Zhu Xiu squinted his eyes, He Hui coughed dryly, sat up straight, picked up the teacup on his own, and pretended that he was fine.

Zhu Xiu said in an extremely subtle voice: "Brother actually knew that there was Chazi who was stationed by Wudesi in Chanzhou. The brother left Chanzhou secretly without any troops. In fact, he used the mouth of Wudesi to tell the official family that his brother had no disrespect for his actions...

My brother did this not only to meet me, but also to test the official family's intention..."

Chai Rong's eyes flashed across the strange color, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved: "You continue talking."

Zhu Xiu said: "I guess my brother should have made preparations. If I can't see me, my brother will go back to Kaifeng directly to meet with the officials and apologize.

If you see me, it means that the official has been paying attention to the movements in Chanzhou. You can also guess the attitude of the official towards you..."

Chai Rong whispered: "Without the guidance of Wude Department, you and I cannot meet here. The father asked you to see me and prevent me from returning to Beijing, which means that in the father's heart, I still have some status..."

Zhu Xiu said solemnly: "Brother should not belittle himself. In the hearts of the officials, the brother is still the eldest son, and I am the only prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"But my only son can't even go back to Kaifeng City. At the end of the year, I volunteered, and my father just refused... I really couldn't guess what my father thought..." Chai Rong sighed and shook his head.

Zhu Xiu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, brother, according to my younger brother's opinion, all the actions of the official family are just to sharpen the brother's character. The more you are at this time, the more you should be calm."

"Take it seriously?" Chai Rong was a little suspicious.

"It's absolutely impossible!" Zhu Xiu nodded vigorously, with a confident face, "The elder brother is the eldest son of the emperor, and his reputation is in his hands. Everyone hopes to return to the emperor. The position of the emperor must belong to the elder brother!"

Chai Rong frowned and murmured: "But in the future, the emperor will place me if he has a legitimate son?"

I was raised by my father since I was a child. Although I was not the biological father, in my heart, my father is the same as my biological father.

Although I, Chai Rong, dare not think of a noble person, I know that a real man values ​​loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness. If a father and son turn against each other, Chai Rong would rather die than do it!"

"Brother Gao Yi!" Zhu Xiu was solemnly respectful.

"Although I have the ambition to destroy the world, if my destiny is really not with me, I will not force it. I just want to lead a partial teacher to serve as the border of Yongzhen, Dazhou!"

Chai Rong slapped Zhu Xiu on the shoulder again, making him tremble: "There is a day when we were in Cangzhou. You can take care of money, food, military expenses, and wars, and you are in charge of internal control, and I am in charge of external control. You are in charge of your own control, and you and my brothers work side by side, and it will be a good story in the future!"

Zhu Xiu grinned, Chai Rong's words were very informative.

He had previously said that he would not do anything to kill each other, but now he said that he hoped to lead troops to guard the border, and forced himself to express his attitude.

On that day, Chai Rong was really willing to hand over the throne?

Zhu Xiu laughed in his heart and said hurriedly: "I said when I was in Cangzhou that I am willing to follow my brother in this life and I will never regret it if I die!"

"Good brother! I'm not wrong!" Chai Rong's firm statement to Zhu Xiu was very helpful, and he patted his shoulder hard, and his strength was a little heavier than before.

It is a mystery how high Chai Rong's martial arts are. He is rarely seen as taking action, but it is true that he has been practicing martial arts all year round.

Pan Mei speculated that Chai Rong's martial arts skills were no less than his.

Zhu Xiu's face trembled and squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying.

After years of hard work, his body has become much stronger, but it is still far from the top military generals these days.

After Chai Rong's two slaps, Zhu Xiu only felt his shoulders numb.

If it were four years ago, when he had just adapted to this body, he would definitely be pushed to the ground by these two slaps.

He Hui, who was sitting next to him, cast an envious and jealous look at Zhu Xiu. No matter how much Chai Rong trusted him, he would never be able to pat his shoulder and scream with brothers.

Old God Wang Pu was sitting on the ground, smiling, and it seemed that Junhou had been convinced by Zhu Xiu.

"In your opinion, what should I do next?" Chai Rong asked.

Zhu Xiu rubbed his shoulders and said, "Just go back to home and rush back to Chanzhou as soon as possible. Come quietly and leave quietly."
