In the tavern, Zhu Gaoxi's expression changed several times, and he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
If the Ming Dynasty is said to be arrogant, if they are ranked second, no one will be ranked first.
Today, someone actually called himself an old man in front of him and asked for some respect. Zhu Gaoxu had a faint murderous intention in his heart.
However, at this moment, I, my advisers, and the guard commander were all killed by Xiao Chen. I am truly alone. I need assistants, talents, and advisers.
Otherwise, I would not have left the palace and gone to the tavern on the street to eat these folk dishes.
Seeing the other party's unruly appearance, Zhu Gaoxu found a reason for himself to forgive the other party: The strong have their own strong tempers, and the talented have their own pride.
"Old Zhang." Zhu Gaoxu turned around slowly, put his arms behind his back, and nodded slightly to the old man, "I am grateful for your words of encouragement. Otherwise, I would still be sinking in failure and unable to extricate myself."
The money for drinking is nothing, if Mr. Zhang is willing, the cost of drinking here in the future will be recorded in my name."
"The King of Han is the King of Han, and he is indeed very majestic. Since the King of Han is so majestic, I would be disrespectful to you if I refuse. That's it. From now on, all food and drinks here will be paid for by the King of Han." Mr. Zhang laughed loudly and looked at it.
He turned to the dazed shopkeeper in the corner and said, "Shopkeeper, do you hear me? From now on, someone will pay for my drinks."
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "I heard it, I heard it."
His body was still trembling, and a large amount of sweat dripped down his forehead and down the bridge of his nose.
The ability to break a steel knife with one finger is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The most important thing is that the target he is targeting is actually the King of Han who everyone in Le'an Prefecture is afraid to avoid.
From now on, the King of Han will pay the bill for this person's food and drinks in the tavern. But even if he kills himself, he will not dare to accept the money from the King of Han.
I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes. I thought I could earn some money to support my family by meeting an important guest, but I didn’t realize that they were the masters I couldn’t afford to offend and didn’t dare to accept the money.
"Did you hear that? If you heard that, why don't you quickly bring me the old soju that I asked for?" Mr. Zhang looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile.
"Go right now, little man, go get it now." The shopkeeper walked slowly towards the back room with a sad face.
Although he was reluctant, the shopkeeper quickly filled an unopened wine jar, put it on Mr. Zhang's table, and quietly stepped aside without saying a word.
"After eating and drinking, I will leave first." Mr. Zhang smiled at Zhu Gaoxu, picked up the wine jar on the table, and was about to go out.
Zhu Gaoxi took a step across and blocked Mr. Zhang's way: "Mr. Zhang, can you honor me and have a drink with me?"
He shook his head vigorously: "I have eaten and drank enough today and need to rest. Tomorrow at this time, I will be here to wait for the King of Han."
With that said, he held the wine jar, walked around Zhu Gaoxi, and walked out of the tavern door.
Watching Mr. Zhang leave, the smile on Zhu Gaoxi's face gradually disappeared and was gradually replaced by a coldness.
I will give you another chance. If you don’t have anything useful to me, I will use your life to repay the money for this meal.
Although your skills look good, my king's three thousand guards are not vegetarians either.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxi no longer wanted to taste the delicious food on the table. He turned around and walked towards the door.
The tavern owner stood aside blankly, his head lowered, not daring to do anything to stop him.
Zhang Jinbao, who was defeated in his first attack, bent down to pick up the broken half of the knife head on the ground, and hurriedly followed.
As soon as his left foot stepped out of the threshold of the tavern, Zhu Gaoxi stopped and said, "I will have someone come to settle the bill for today's consumption."
He left the house behind and hurried towards the direction of the Han Dynasty Palace.
Beijing, Thirteenth Battle. In the lobby of the Dongchang Operations Office, Xiao Chen sat on a chair, holding a tea bowl in his hand, and took a leisurely sip.
Opposite Xiao Chen, Duan Tianming, the commander of the Thirteenth Army, sat. The same bowl of hot tea was also placed in front of him.
"Did this group of people disappear recently? The calmness in the capital is a bit scary. The brothers of the Thirteenth Army were dispatched everywhere, and this group of people seemed to have disappeared without any trace." Looking at the leisurely and contented Xiao Chen, Duan Tianming whispered softly.
said.
Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "Isn't this better? The Shenji soldiers are working overtime to train. When the weapons of the Shenji soldiers are trained to the point where they can be used in actual combat, we will use this group of people to test the Shenji soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.”
Although Xiao Chen did not take the defeat at the foot of Yuquan Mountain seriously, for these captains in Dongchang, Xiao Chen did not allow the shadow of failure to exist.
The Shenji Battle was established with great effort to reverse Dongchang's disadvantage in combat effectiveness. And this first battle was against the mysterious master.
"For us, it is indeed a good thing for the other party to hide temporarily. But I am worried that they will launch operations elsewhere. Putting the prince in the prison of the Criminal Department is not a long-term solution after all. Otherwise, we can send some captains to the Criminal Department.
, firstly, to assist the Ministry of Punishment in taking precautions, and secondly, with the captain of the Dongchang School keeping an eye on the prince, we can feel more at ease."
Duan Tianming said worriedly.
Tapping the table with his right index finger, Xiao Chen said: "I am also very worried about the prince's safety. But if we send a captain to the Ministry of Justice at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the other party that the prince is in the Ministry of Justice? If this news
If it leaks out and something happens to the prince, all our efforts will be in vain, and Dongchang will definitely be implicated."
"But it's not a problem to just leave the Crown Prince in the Ministry of Justice and ignore him." Duan Tianming put down his crossed legs with an anxious look on his face.
In the past few days, no one of the Thirteenth Army captains sent out has brought back any news about these mysterious men in black. With this sudden disappearance, relying on his past experience in handling cases, the other party must be planning a bigger operation.
.
"None of us can go to the current Criminal Department. Before the Shenji Army can actually fight, we can only pretend that nothing is the same and stay in the Thirteenth Army. As long as the Thirteenth Army led by Liu Rufeng is proficient in
With the use of firearms, we can confront each other head-on. The first thing we have to do is to bring the prince back from the Ministry of Justice."
Listening to what Duan Tianming said, a trace of worry appeared on Xiao Chen's face.
Although it was the emperor's order to arrest the prince at first, he felt a little gloating about his misfortune. But later, considering the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he recognized the prince and wholeheartedly supported him to ascend to the throne and inherit the throne.
It's about curing leg diseases and losing weight. If the prince now has some shortcomings and all previous efforts are wasted, who will the people of the Ming Dynasty look to for a good life?
