"Your Highness got in touch with Miss Deng's brother so quickly?" Liu Bowen glanced at Zhu Zhen in surprise.
"Hehe, soldiers are very valuable." Zhu Zhen was embarrassed to say that he went to borrow a hut from someone else's house to play with pandas, so he laughed and got up and said: "Master, I'll go out and take a look."
"Go." Liu Bowen nodded.
~~
When Zhu Zhen came out to the door of the mansion, he saw Deng Duo scurrying around like an ant on a hot pot.
"What's the matter, general?" Wang asked.
"Your Highness, my eldest sister is going out." Deng Duo hurriedly came forward and said, "I don't know what to do, so I came to ask you."
"Does she still need your permission when she goes out?" Zhu Zhen asked strangely.
"No, but she wants me to help." Deng Duo explained: "This morning I was walking the panda behind her building. There is a bamboo forest over there. Except for me and the panda, few people usually go there.
"I heard my eldest sister calling me upstairs. She asked me to move a ladder and put it up on her back window. She said she had to go out in an emergency."
"Then did you move her?" Zhu Zhen asked: "But she is grounded, so even if she goes downstairs, she can't get out of the house, right?"
"Yes. That's why she wants me to drive her out." Deng Duo said with a bitter face: "If my father finds out about this, he will have to break my legs!"
"Hiss..." Zhu Zhen gasped in sympathy. He couldn't bear to hear his father beating his son. "Then don't agree to him."
"But she said that if I didn't agree, she would jump off the building and die in front of me." Deng Duo said with tears in his eyes.
"You can't die if you fall from the second floor." People's joys and sorrows are not the same. Zhu Zhen only found it funny.
"She said she jumped with her head down," Dun Duo shouted.
"That's really scary." Zhu Zhen suppressed his laughter and asked, "Did you agree?"
"I agreed first, but it was just to stabilize her. Isn't this an excuse to find a ladder and ask His Highness for advice?" Deng Duo knelt on one knee and said: "Please teach me, Your Highness! What should I do..."
"Hey, general, hurry up and invite me." Zhu Zhen pretended to think for a moment and said, "I think it's better for you to agree to your sister."
"Why, you're not the one with your buttocks covered with flowers?" the general said sarcastically.
"Hey, general, don't worry." Zhu Zhen explained calmly: "Do you think your sister's mood of being anxious to go out will change because you don't agree?"
Unknowingly, Wang imitated Liu Bowen's tune.
"No. With her temper, she will definitely find a way to get out." Deng Duo's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Why don't I just stop helping her and pretend I don't know anything, then it has nothing to do with me?
?”
"Fart!" Zhu Zhen gave him a slap and shouted: "That's your eldest sister. Aren't you afraid that if she goes out at this time, there will be some disadvantages?"
"Oh, yes, yes. I have to keep an eye on her." Deng Duo then remembered that King Chu had said before that he should keep an eye on the eldest sister in case she couldn't think about it.
"So you have to promise her and help her out, so that you can control her movements." Zhu Zhen said in a persuasive way.
"Yeah." Deng Duo couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, then suddenly shook his head and said, "No, if she went out to seek suicide, wouldn't it be me who killed her?"
"Is she so particular? She commits suicide and has to die outside? Are she afraid that Duke Wei's palace will be haunted in the future?" Zhu Zhen chuckled.
"That's right." Deng Duo was a twelve-year-old child after all, so he finally let Zhu Zhen go around and around him.
"Then Your Highness, will you follow her with me?" He looked longingly at the King of Chu who was like a bright light.
"Of course." Wang smiled and said, "We are friends. If I don't help you, who will?"
"Your Highness..." Deng Duo excitedly held the King's Dragon Claw and choked with sobs.
~~
Zhu Zhen didn't even say hello to Liu Bowen, so he walked with Wang Defa to Qingshi Street where the back door of Duke Wei's Mansion was located.
There happens to be a noodle stall on the street.
The two of them each ordered a bowl of sausage noodles, topped it with thick garlic paste, and ate it hula hula.
"Enjoyable!" Zhu Zhen made a bowl in one go and said with a careless mouthful: "The rice at my teacher's house is too bland, not even a bit fishy. I don't know if that's intentional."
"It's not intentional. Maybe it's because the eating habits of southerners are different from ours." Wang Defa picked up the noodles with chopsticks and ate them one by one.
At this time, the guard who was sent to report the news came back panting.
"Has the notification been sent to my third brother?" Zhu Zhen asked while drinking noodle soup.
"The notice has arrived." The guard nodded and whispered: "His Royal Highness King Jin said that they will arrive shortly. Please do what you need to do without looking for them."
"Quite professional." Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "Sit down and eat."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The guard felt warm in his heart. Your Highness has me in his heart...
"Have another bowl, add more intestines and more garlic." Wang Defa ordered the noodle boss.
"okay……"
~~
After the guards had finished eating the noodles, there was finally movement at the back door of Duke Wei's mansion.
A carriage with a section of red silk tied on the window slowly drove out from the door.
"That's the car." Seeing that it was Deng Duo who was driving, Zhu Zhen's expression perked up.
"Don't worry, this kind of car can't run." Eunuch Wang grabbed His Highness who was about to get up in a hurry. "We can follow after we go further."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Zhu Zhen said. It is said that many eunuchs have spy talents, but I don't know whether they are true or not.
~~
The group of people followed the carriage through the streets and alleys, heading north, and after walking a long way, they came to an unfamiliar street.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. The people in the carriage said a few words to Deng Duo, then got out of the carriage and hurried into the alley.
Zhu Zhen and Wang Defa watched from a distance, and Wang Ma said with certainty: "It's a girl disguised as a man."
"Why can't I see it?"
"The way she walks, her little butt twists and turns," Wang Defa said with a smile, "Even an old slave is not so charming."
"Okay." Zhu Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth twice.
At this time, he saw Deng Duo looking around and waved.
Deng Duo was so happy that he quickly jumped out of the car and ran over.
"I thought His Highness didn't follow."
"How is that possible?" Zhu Zhen said with confidence: "The one who went in just now is Sister Ling?"
"That's right." Deng Duo nodded and said, "It's my uncle's house inside."
"Is your uncle's house so remote?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously. It looked like a place where poor people lived. No matter how poor Wei Guogong's brother-in-law was, he would not live here.
"Yes, my uncle's house." Deng Duo explained: "But this is their old house, and now their family has moved near my house."
"Then why is she here?" Zhu Zhen asked.
"My eldest cousin made a mistake and was punished by my uncle to be grounded in the old house." Deng Duo explained to him.
"That's it." Zhu Zhen and Wang Defa looked at each other and couldn't hide their mean smiles.
A pure child like Deng Duo has no idea what they are thinking...
