Chapter 48 The hidden person

Qitai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Okay, okay, great. After chasing for so many days, I finally caught up. Quick, where do they live?"

The guard did not dare to offend the dignified Minister of War, and naturally he did not dare to offend the other two princes. However, the Minister of War was right in front of him, so he could only obey his orders honestly.

Prince Han's Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion each brought a guard of men and horses. One guard had 5,600 people, which added up to more than 10,000 people. These more than 10,000 people were the personal guards of Prince Han's Mansion. Naturally, they could not leave.

Too far.

In addition to most of the guards, some of the personal guards live not far from His Royal Highness King Han and Princess Yan, so that they can arrive at the first opportunity at any time if there is an emergency.

So when Qitai led a group of soldiers to appear, the guards of the two princes hiding around them instantly became alert.

"Your Highness, Qi Tai, the left minister of the Ministry of War, would like to see you!" Chen Zheng reported worriedly.

"Qitai? His Highness Taisun's confidant, he came to Xuzhou to look for me at this time. Is he looking for me or my fourth sister-in-law? Or are we looking for both?"

Chen Zheng replied: "Your Highness, I should be looking for both."

"How many people did they bring? Could it be that Taisun wants to take us back?"

Zhu Song frowned, but immediately he felt that it shouldn't be possible, because his father had issued an imperial edict. This was beyond the decree of the palace. How could he take it back just like he said?

Could it be that Zhu Yunwen stopped pretending and directly led his confidants to arrest him and his fourth sister-in-law by force? That probably wouldn't be the case. Zhu Yunwen's little tricks couldn't be hidden from the old man.

After understanding this level, Zhu Song felt relieved.

"Let Mr. Qi come in!"

After a while, Qi Tai had already arranged his official robe and hat and walked in, followed by two soldiers, each holding several pieces of cloth in his hands.

"Your Majesty, Qitai, the left minister of the Ministry of War, is here to see His Highness the King of Han."

Zhu Song looked at Qi Tai and chuckled: "Master Qi, there is no need to be so polite. We are already old friends. Let's get up. I wonder what Master Qi is chasing after me to Xuzhou this time? Could it be that there is a change in the capital?"

Will this king and my fourth sister-in-law go back?"

Qitai smiled and shook his head.

"No, no, of course not! Your Highness, my coming this time is actually the intention of His Highness Taisun. His Highness Taisun asked me to bring more pieces of cloth. Princess Han's family has never been to the north, so I still need these pieces of cloth.

The more, the merrier.”

"In addition, Princess Yan and the three princes brought very little luggage with them for their trip north. His Highness was thinking of his fourth aunt and three younger brothers, and asked his subordinates to bring some cloth with them."

Hearing this, Zhu Song didn't understand. His Highness, the grandson, had almost shown his claws before. Why was he so kind to himself, his fourth aunt, and her three children now?

"I see, then does His Highness Taisun have any other instructions?"

Qi Tai smiled and said: "No, no, oh, there is one more thing. His Highness Taisun hopes that His Highness the King of Han can write more letters to His Highness Taisun after returning to Liaodong. After all, we are still a family, and we are still uncles and nephews.

Ah, from now on His Highness Taisun will need more help from His Highness the King of Han."

"Where is it!" King Han waved his hand: "Share the worries of the country, share the worries of the king, and share the worries of the great grandson. This is our duty as ministers, but I will definitely write more letters. Please

Lord Qi, please tell His Highness Taisun that I will miss His Highness Taisun all the time."

"Okay, I won't bother you much when I deliver these pieces of cloth. Your Highness King Han, Princess Han, and Princess Yan must be tired from this journey, so please rest early. I'll take my leave."

Qi Tai said as he cupped his hands and stepped away. At this moment, Zhu Song called out: "Master Qi, you must be tired from running around all the way. Why don't you just go back to Beijing directly without resting in Xuzhou City for a few more days?"

Qitai's eyes rolled, and he quickly understood what King Han meant. King Han didn't want him to live in Xuzhou City, or he didn't want him to be too close to them.

But Qi Tai doesn't intend to follow King Han's wishes. The more you let me go, the more I won't leave, even if staying here is a deterrent to you.

"Your Highness, although the imperial court is busy with official affairs, Xiaguan is just a small minister of the Ministry of War. Without Xiaguan, there is not much, and if there is Xiaguan, there is not much, so there is no rush to return to the capital."

"What's more, Xiaguan has been changing horses but not people along the way. People are also tired. Even if Xianguan is not tired, the group of soldiers behind him are also tired. They must take a rest."

Zhu Song nodded: "Okay, Master Qi, please rest and stay in Xuzhou City. Chen Zheng. Go and pass on my king's orders. The other people and the brothers who came this time will settle all the accounts of eating, drinking and having fun in Xuzhou City."

On this king’s body.”

After hearing this, Qi Tai said hypocritically: "Oh, this is really embarrassing for me!"

"Where is it? You are the confidant of His Highness Taisun. I and Lord Qi also meet each other late. It's just a little money. It doesn't matter what you do!"

After Qi Tai withdrew, Zhu Song's expression turned grim.

He suddenly remembered that the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law were the spies in the palace. Even the father and the emperor were surrounded by the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law. Was it a little too arrogant to start the layout so early?

Zhu Song thought about it, but they had already let him know anyway. If he asked more questions, his fourth brother and sister-in-law would not blame his younger brother.

Thinking of this, Zhu Song ordered someone to go to Princess Yan's residence in person with the piece of cloth from Prince Yan's Mansion.

At this moment, Princess Yan was also waiting for her 20th brother to come. She suddenly chased him for Qi Tai for no other reason. Princess Yan was also unsure whether her grandson had persuaded his father to take back his life and ask for her.

Waiting for someone to return to Beijing?

When Zhu Song saw Princess Yan, he greeted Princess Yan politely and handed the cloth to Princess Yan's maid. Zhu Gaochi dismissed the servants in the room. At this moment, only Princess Yan, the Crown Prince Yan and Zhu Song were left in the room.

"Fourth sister-in-law, my brother has always wanted to ask Fourth Sister-in-law something."

Princess Yan knew what Zhu Song was asking, smiled slightly and said straight to the point: "Brother 20, do you want to ask why your fourth brother and I can arrange an informant in the palace?"

"Exactly!" Zhu Song asked: "No matter when a minister arranges spies around His Majesty, it is a taboo. If he is discovered, it will be a crime that requires beheading, even if it is a prince."

Princess Yan smiled and explained: "Twentieth brother, your fourth brother and I also have difficulties. After the death of the prince, your majesty appointed the emperor's grandson. On the surface, the emperor's grandson seemed benevolent and righteous, but he was always disobedient.

Targeting your fourth brother."

"We actually wanted to arrange an eye liner next to the emperor's grandson, but the East Palace is controlled by the Lu family, and it is really difficult to penetrate with needles and water. We had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and arrange an eye liner next to the emperor's father.
