Jiaofang Division.

Backyard wing.

"sit."

Zhu Yunxi poured two glasses of wine, placed one of them on the seat next to him, glanced at Cao Yan, who was waiting timidly, pointed to the chair, and said with a smile.

"Your Highness is joking, how dare I drink with His Highness?"

Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands.

"Master Cao refuses to give me face."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said lightly.

Hearing this, Cao Yan was shocked, shrank his neck, did not dare to squirm anymore, and sat on the chair flattered.

Zhu Yunxi gestured and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Cao Yan hurriedly picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

As long as Zhu Yunxi didn't take the initiative to speak, he didn't dare to say anything for fear of saying something wrong.

"Master Cao, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Zhu Yunxi looked up at Cao Yan and asked with interest.

"Your Highness, spare your life! It's the official who deserves to die, and you shouldn't report it to the official! You shouldn't talk nonsense, and you almost get your highness into trouble. Everything is the official's fault!"

When Cao Yan heard this, he hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, and said with a fearful look on his face, his lips turned a little white.

"That's not it."

"I told you at that time that you should take the initiative to report to the official and tell the truth. You did nothing wrong in this."

"Not only will I not blame you, but I will also thank you."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and nodded with satisfaction.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Cao Yan looked at Zhu Yunxi in confusion and asked hesitantly.

"I would like to ask, what is Chief Cao planning to do in the future?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Cao Yan with a smile and asked slowly.

"Now that Your Highness already knows the identity of this official, from now on, whatever you say will be whatever you say. If there is anything that I need to do, Your Highness, just say it."

Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Zhu Yunxi meant. He hurriedly raised his hands and answered seriously.

"Ah, very good."

"However, about this incident, Mr. Cao must be particularly hoping that something will happen to me, right? Because if something happens, you are King Yan's spy, and no one in Kyoto will know about it."

"Is it right?"

Zhu Yunxi leaned forward, stared into Cao Yan's eyes, and asked with a smile.

"I have never thought of it this way! Your Highness, please give me some advice!"

"What's more, who is Your Highness? How could something happen to you?! It's too late for me to flatter you, so how can I expect something to happen to you?"

When Cao Yan heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and said affirmatively.

"That's the best! I don't want to become enemies with Chief Cao. Killing someone is very troublesome."

"Oh, by the way, I received a letter from Peiping. Please show it to Mr. Cao."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, turned around and winked at Hong Yuan beside him.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuan immediately took out a secret letter from her arms and placed it on the table in front of Cao Yan.

Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, and opened the letter with a puzzled face. Then his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was full of fear.

That's his father's handwriting!

A letter home!

Cao Yan was not originally from Kyoto. Later, after following Zhu Di, he was placed in the Jiaofang Division. He became an idler with no real power and became the head of the Jiaofang Division. Later, he sent his family to live in Peiping. Now he has not been there for many years. meet.

In fact, on the surface, it seemed that he was sending his family to Beiping City to enjoy the blessings, but in fact, he was placed under house arrest by King Yan and used as a bargaining chip to check and balance Cao Yan.

"Your Majesty and your father-in-law are living a good life, and I asked someone to bring you a message, asking you to take good care of yourself and not worry about them."

Zhu Yunxi said calmly while eating the vegetables.

Cao Yan glanced at Zhu Yunxi secretly and was speechless for a moment, because he didn't know what Zhu Yunxi meant, but his heart kept beating, and his eyes were full of fear.

"I won't embarrass you. Whatever King Yan asks you to do, you should do it and do your job well. But from now on, any contact with Peiping must be made known to her. "

"In addition, I also know that there are not only you and Prince Yan's spies in Kyoto. How many of them are there and what are their identities? You have to make a list and give it to her later."

"Also, you can tell King Yan that you have completely gained my trust, so that no one will doubt your future dealings with me."

"But you'd better not try to be cunning. Her temper is not as good as mine."

As Zhu Yunxi spoke, he pointed at the red kite beside him, with a smile that couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes..."

Cao Yan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Hong Yuan who had a murderous look on his face, nodded hurriedly and respectfully, and said with a weak expression.

At this point, he had no choice.

"very good!"

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that as long as you are sensible, nothing will happen to your family in Peiping!"

"I know that they are actually hostages held in Peiping by King Yan."

Zhu Yunxi drank the last glass of wine, and while talking, he slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

"From now on, I will be your Highness's son in life, and I will be your Highness's ghost in death!"

When Cao Yan heard this, his face was filled with gratitude, he knelt down and said respectfully.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, left the box and left through the back door without saying anything else.

After Cao Yan watched Zhu Yunxi leave, he slumped on the ground helplessly. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally made up his mind.

Outside the Jiaofang Department.

"Go to the Central Military Governor's Mansion."

Hongyuan said in a deep voice to Jin Yiwei who was driving the carriage, and followed Zhu Yunxi into the carriage.

As the carriage started, it drove straight towards the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.

"Your Highness, do you really believe him?"

Hongyuan sat opposite Zhu Yunxi. After pondering for a long time, she couldn't help but ask one more question.

"I don't believe him, and I don't need to believe him."

"He is just a chess piece, not only to King Yan, but also to me."

"He didn't dare betray me because he had no choice."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and sneered, and said nonchalantly, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

After hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Hongyuan gradually understood and nodded with admiration.

"Your Highness, are you ready to show your cards to Wei Guogong today?"

After Hong Yuan paused, she asked again.

"The time is almost here, and it's time to move on to the next step."

"Since we want to build a foundation, a pro-military guard commander is not enough. Although Xu Huizu's current position in the court is not very important, in time, he will definitely become the most important minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If he can surrender to me, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in the future!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded, and said thoughtfully.

Conquering Xu Huizu was a plan he had made three years ago. When it comes to military generals in the court, except for the older generation who have one foot in the coffin, Xu Huizu is the most outstanding one among the younger generation.

Moreover, this person is brave and resourceful, and is definitely a rare help!

...

The Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army.

In the governor's office, Xu Huizu was handling official duties.

At this moment, a subordinate quickly came to the door.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Your Majesty the Grand Sun is here!"

The subordinates saluted and said respectfully.

"Where?"

Hearing this, Xu Huizu was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked with a frown.

"We have entered the main entrance and are coming this way."

The subordinate turned his head to look at it and said hurriedly.

Xu Huizu hesitated, then hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Zhu Yunxi, who was slowly walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"I didn't know that when His Highness arrived, he was not welcomed at a distance."

Xu Huizu hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands, and said slowly.

"Mr. Wei Guo, please excuse me. Although you and I have no contact, judging from the relationship between your father and the emperor, we are not outsiders."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said with a smile, looking very enthusiastic.

Immediately, at Xu Huizu's invitation, Zhu Yunxi followed him into the office and found a seat to sit down.

Looking at Hong Yuan who was silently following Zhu Yunxi, a strange look flashed in Xu Huizu's eyes.

With the events that have happened in Kyoto recently, Hongyuan is somewhat famous in Kyoto as a personal guard.

Rumors have even begun to circulate that if you offend Zhu Yunxi, you may lose your future, but if you offend Hongyuan, you may lose your life.

"I wonder why His Highness paid a sudden visit today?"

After a brief greeting, Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Yunxi seriously and asked slowly.

"I came here today for two things, one is to apologize, and the other is to express my gratitude."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said seriously.

"Oh? Why are you apologizing? And why are you thanking me?"

"The humble position doesn't understand."

Xu Huizu hesitated for a moment, with a trace of confusion on his face...
