Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 885 King Chu comes to visit——nothing good

The most impressive yamen in Guangzhou is neither the Chief Secretary nor the Chief Secretary, but the Zhengnan General's Mansion located in Xiguan.

Zhu Liangzu, the general who conquered the south, was, in later parlance, the commander of the southern theater.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty are extremely rare. Apart from Xu Da's General Zhengying and Zhu Zhen's General Zhengying, the only ones are Muying's General Zhengxi and Zhu Liangzu's General Zhengnan.

Among them, Zhu Zhen's mission of conquering the Japanese generals has been completed, but he has not had time to return to Beijing to return the seal sword, but it has expired.

It can be seen that the general's status and power are great. How can a mere vassal or a feudal lord be compared to each other?

But when Lao Liu came, Zhu Liangzu, the general of the southern expedition, could only condescend to Yu Yu and greet him at the gate of the general's mansion with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness is so polite. If you need anything, please send someone to let me know. I will go over to see you."

"Hey, I must come here." Lao Liu got off the carriage with a smile. He didn't want to ride a horse for the time being. "Father taught us to respect the founding heroes when we are outside."

After a pause, he apologized again: "Besides, I accidentally injured Mr. Ling that day, and I am very uneasy. I will come over to visit you when I have time."

"What a shame." Zhu Liangzu asked Lao Liu to go inside and said apologetically: "It's just a minor injury, why bother? The general has already sent him out to perform military duties."

"Oh, Master Ling is not here?" Lao Liu glanced at Zhu Liangzu.

"Yes." Zhu Liangzu nodded and said calmly: "The war is coming and the military affairs are busy. One person can't wait to be divided into three envoys. If His Highness hadn't arrived, even the last general wouldn't be in Guangzhou right now."

"Haha, Marquis Yongjia said this as if I am in the way." Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Don't dare." Zhu Liangzu shook his head quickly.

"When will Mr. Ling come back?" Lao Liu seemed to be very determined to visit Zhu Xian.

"It's hard to say." Zhu Liangzu lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, the last day he sent his capable scouts to disguise themselves and sneak into Yunnan to investigate the latest movements of the Yuan army to avoid any unprepared changes."

"The Marquis actually asked Young Master Ling to carry out such a dangerous task?" Lao Liu made a fuss.

"This is necessary. As the son of General Zhengnan, he has to take on the most dangerous mission." Zhu Liangzu said solemnly: "In this way, the soldiers can willingly obey the command of the last general."

"I've learned a lesson." Lao Liu cupped his hands with respect on his face.

"Your Highness, please come in and serve tea." At this time, he walked to the door of the hall and Zhu Liangzu respectfully invited His Highness to come in.

"Don't be in a hurry," Lao Liu shook his head and said with great interest, "First, let's take a look at your general's mansion. What's it like?"

He said with a self-deprecating smile: "Although I have been a general for a few days, I have been on the ship and have never been in a general's mansion."

After saying that, he went straight into the hall and 'visited' Zhu Liangzu's general mansion.

Zhu Liangzu opened his mouth to stop him, but couldn't. His Royal Highness the King of Chu insisted on visiting, could he still stop him?

He quickly glanced at the soldier beside him, and the soldier quietly withdrew knowingly.

Zhu Liangzu then looked normal and said with a big smile, "Your Highness is going to laugh. Come on, please come over here."

Then he led Lao Liu around the huge general's mansion.

~~

That room is in the back house of the general's mansion.

Zhu Liangzu said that Zhu Xian, who was on a reconnaissance mission in the mountains of Yunnan, was sleeping soundly with his arms around him.

The middle finger of his right hand was wrapped with a thick band of gauze, which remained erect even when he was sleeping.

"Master, Master!" A knock on the door woke him and his two concubines.

The two girls hurriedly looked for clothes, and Zhu Xian asked angrily: "What's the matter?"

"The King of Chu is here." replied outside.

"Ah? What's he doing here?" Zhu Xian was startled, and quickly found the trousers to put on by himself.

"They said they came to visit the young master, but they probably have bad intentions!" the soldier said urgently: "The general said he sent the young master to perform military duties. He didn't seem to believe it. He insisted on coming in to visit. It's clear that he is looking for you!"

"The general is leading him around and asking the young master to hide quickly."

"Fuck..." Zhu Xian felt depressed after hearing this. "What does this mean?"

After saying that, he glared at the two concubines who were only caring about dressing themselves, and said angrily: "Let me dress first!"

"Yes." The two concubines responded fearfully and quickly helped him get dressed.

Zhu Xian pushed the door open and went out. The soldier took him to the back door and said, "Master, please go back to the military camp first. It's the safest place."

"Yeah." Zhu Xian nodded, not caring about harsh words, put on a large-brimmed felt hat, and hurried to the back door.

Inside the gate, several soldiers had already prepared their horses and were waiting for him. The group of people led the horses out of the general's mansion and came to the street behind the mansion.

The Fuhou Street of the General's Office is very similar to the Toad Street behind the Nanchang Government Office. There are all kinds of teahouses, inns, restaurants and bathhouses. It was full of people who came through the back door, as well as brokers who helped people through the back door.

So the market looked quite lively, with vendors everywhere on both sides of the street, but they didn't dare to shout or hawk. This is a rule set by the general's mansion. Anyone who dares to make a noise will have his shop smashed and evicted from the back streets of the mansion forever.

When Zhu Xian left the house, he subconsciously lowered the brim of his hat for fear of being recognized.

But how many people in the street behind the house depended on his father and son for a living? Even if he turns to ashes, you can still recognize him. The brokers and shopkeepers all saluted him and said hello.

"What are you doing? Don't pay attention to me. I'm annoying you." Zhu Xian waved his hands in a depressed manner. A group of unsightly people. I wonder if someone is still looking for me in front of me?

After saying that, he was ready to get on his horse, run away, and go to Xiguan Military Camp to avoid the limelight.

"Master Zhu, please stay." But a familiar voice sounded from the tea stall nearby.

"I told you, don't bother me..." Zhu Xian froze in the middle of his words. Slowly turning his head to look, he saw his old enemy Daotong, with plaster on his face and sitting at the tea stall in casual clothes.

There was also a young man sitting next to him, who was the Chu Prince's palace guard who shot him last time.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Dao?" Zhu Xian said with a sullen face, "Why did you come to the back door of my house to drink tea?"

"Aren't you here to invite you back for tea?" Daotong smiled and said, "Come with us, Mr. Zhu?"

"..." Zhu Xian's eyes flickered for a while, and finally he said viciously: "What if I don't go?"

His soldier's hand was holding the handle of the knife, as if he was about to open it at any time. Anyway, it’s not the first time we’ve done the same thing.

"That's not up to Mr. Zhu." Daotong was confident this time and waved his hand handsomely.

Dozens of Panyu County officials dressed as pedestrians rushed up and surrounded Zhu Xian and others.
