The wooden pillars in the teahouse showed a dark red color after the red paint faded, and the sound of wind rustling through the treetops could be heard outside the window. Zhu Heng's expression was as gloomy as the environment, "People's hearts are sinister, I have to be careful."
The charming woman sneered and said: "I'm confused, Zhu Butang is worried that we come to 'fish'." Zhu Heng didn't comment and just acquiesced. He was a little surprised by the good knowledge of this female class. When the woman saw this, she said: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty lacked some sincerity, so it was probably a wise move for Zhu Butang to join the Ming Dynasty."
The woman took out a piece of paper as she spoke, "This is the document ordered by the superiors. We are in single-line communication and only recognize one peak, so just handwriting is enough." "Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better updated. Faster! The seal Zhu Butang said is meiyou."
Zhu Heng's eyes were sharp and he noticed that when the woman pulled out the paper, the lacquer seal on the envelope had traces of a seal. He also heard the woman talk about the evil of the King of Han, and he had an intuition that these people were probably not fellow political enemies; Colleagues would not inadvertently blame the King of Han in such a relaxed tone.
"Okay, I believe you." Zhu Heng said decisively. He is not a very cautious person, and he often acts based on his own judgment. Although he does feel that political opponents are capable of using such dirty tricks, the situation is Even if I fail again at this point, I'm afraid the result won't be much different.
The woman was surprisingly calm and said after hearing this: "Very good. Zhu Butang has really decided?"
Zhu Heng asked back: "Do I seem to be someone who procrastinates in doing things?"
"Without further delay, we will start preparations. In this way, even the servants of Zhu Butang's family will not have time to know." The woman said, "The preparation is just to change Zhu Butang's clothes. Don't bring anything else, including The money and things are small, and I believe that King Xiang will not treat you badly when you get there. The first step of the plan is to leave your house calmly, so I have to trouble Zhu Butang to change into the clothes of a servant, and pretend to be a man from a jewelry store under the dark sky. Go out; and we will leave one person behind, so that the number of people coming in and going out is equal. After we successfully leave the mansion, those who stayed will try to escape."
Zhu Heng nodded, feeling that this method is still feasible now. The people monitoring Zhu's mansion are very loose, because he is in Nanjing and is a high-ranking official, and the nearby state capitals are all controlled by the King of Han. I'm afraid no one thinks He will run away now.
The woman pondered for a moment and then said: "Zhu Butang can take one more person, one at most. If there are more, there will be problems and everyone will be unable to escape. You decide quickly who to take with you..."
Once Zhu Heng runs away, the Han Palace will probably not be polite to the remaining people in the Zhu Palace, so of course Zhu Heng should bring the most important and closest people with him.
The Peach Blossom Fairy expected him to take his wife with him, the wife who had shared the joys and sorrows with him for many years; in this case, the Peach Blossom Fairy was willing to stay alone and give the first place to Zhu Heng's wife.
However, Zhu Heng quickly replied: "Let the dog Zhu Sheng go with me." In fact, this was a reasonable thing, and the Peach Blossom Fairy was slightly disappointed after hearing this.
Before leaving, Zhu Heng informed the housekeeper of the house and asked the housekeeper to escort him out. Fairy Peach Blossom deliberately said loudly: "If Madam thinks the things in our shop are good, please come to our shop next time."
Sure enough, it went smoothly. The few sergeants outside the door just watched from a distance and didn't bother to ask.
Fairy Peach Blossom and Zhu Heng, who had changed into a green robe and square scarf, got into the carriage. After the carriage and horses left the mansion, she breathed a sigh of relief: "The most important thing is to leave the southern border of Zhili as soon as possible. After we leave the city in a while,
Zhu Butang and Mr. Ling then changed horses and we traveled all night."
Zhu Heng said: "After sunset, all cities in Nanjing must close their city gates. Moreover, the imperial troops and horses are in the north of the Yangtze River at this time. The city is heavily guarded. How can we get out of the city now?"
Fairy Peach Blossom said: "Zhu Butang coordinates military affairs, but he didn't notice many flaws in the city's defense, right? But it's no wonder Zhu Butang, because you can't do everything personally, so you have to rely on the people below."
At this time, the man driving the car in front turned around and interjected: "Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways. Lord Zhu, just don't worry, I have my own way."
When the carriage arrived near Xishui Pass, the group of people abandoned the carriage and changed directions. They rowed a awning boat without holding a light and reached the pass. The man who had driven the carriage earlier stood on the deck and whispered a few words to a military general. Only a few words could be heard.
A few scattered sentences, "We have a batch of things to go over, but we can't check..." "The limelight is getting tighter and tighter. It's best to stop your business for a while and see which way the wind blows." "You eat what you eat on the edge of the knife.
If you're afraid of me, don't do this. Don't worry, even if you get caught, you won't stab your brother out. I killed a brother last time, so you're not fine either? There are rules in the industry, so just keep it in mind..."
After a while, the awning boat passed through the border quietly and easily, leaving Zhu Heng a little stunned.
Before leaving the city, the group of people had already deposited their horses at a carriage and horse shop, picked up their things and walked on. The carriage and horse shop and the porters at the pier were also a mixed crowd, and there were many people running around.
At this time, Zhu Heng gradually felt more at ease. The people accompanying him must indeed be from Jianwen's side. Ruguo was a trap and there was no need to go so far. Zhu Heng then started chatting with them on the road.
It turned out that the woman was from King Xiang, and the other four were the secret agents of King Jianwen in Nanjing. The woman claimed to have been ordered by King Xiang, and came to Nanjing to look for opportunities to set up spies. She asked Jianwenjun's people for information.
When it came to Zhu Butang, I decided to get involved temporarily.
Zhu Hengda understood the details and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Zhang Ning's letter was a trap set up by him, and he deliberately leaked the information to officials to intercept it, so that he could get Zhu Heng to join the gang?
However, he also felt that this kind of thing was not very true, it was too mysterious, so it was not true, but the words of the woman who was traveling with him were more reasonable. The bijing king Zhang Ning of Xiang did not need to use this method to win over talents; Zhang Ning now
We should not focus on Nanjing, but how to deal with Yu Qian, the governor of Huguang.
At this time, the woman suddenly said: "In addition to his wife, Zhu Butang should have a concubine, right?"
Zhu Heng licked his thick beard on his chin, closed his mouth and made a meaningless sound in response. In his opinion, there was nothing easy to say about this kind of question.
The woman added: "Madam, if you stay in Nanjing City, you may be in a worrying situation now."
Zhu Heng sighed: "It's really a pity for me. But there are thousands of families in the world, and the family affairs of my children are just a drop in the ocean compared with the affairs of the world."
Unexpectedly, the woman snorted coldly. Zhu Heng didn't want to argue with her. If he had the insight of a scholar, he should naturally be appreciated.
Getting further and further away from Nanjing, Zhu Heng gradually felt that he had escaped for the time being. Looking back on what happened not long ago, he couldn't help but sigh; thinking about the future, he didn't know what the future would be like. But now he was really embarrassed, running away with his eldest son,
He is almost alone, and his past career in the officialdom has vanished, like a lost dog.
