Chapter 202 I fell into Zhu Houzhao's scheme
After Gao Huan took Gao Jiping and others to worship their ancestors, he went outside the city to meet Zhu Houzhao. Gao Su's eyes fell on Gao Gong the whole time. He had very high expectations for Gao Gong. For Gao Gong's attitude, he didn't even bother to look at Gao Jiping. Gao Huan thought that Gao Su probably didn't even know which room Gao Jiping was from.

Gao Huan silently glanced at Gao Su who always had a smile in the corner of his eyes, and secretly complained: "You're still a patriarchal old stubborn."

After meeting with Zhu Houzhao, Gao Huan proposed to go back to Beijing, but Zhu Houzhao played foolishly again and insisted on going to Fengyang to worship his ancestors.

"You have already worshiped the ancestors, so you can't stop me from worshiping the ancestors?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Fengyang is only a few days away from here, let's go back as soon as we go."

Gao Huan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Fengyang is two thousand miles away, so how many days is the journey?"

Zhu Houzhao turned a deaf ear to Gao Huan's words, looked sideways at Gao Gong who was silently following behind Gao Huan, and said, "You have taken in a new apprentice?"

Gao Huan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled Gao Gong down in front of Zhu Houzhao, and said, "His name is Gao Gong, and he is my grandson. The ancestors took him with him since he was a child and carefully cultivated him, and praised him as the best among the younger generation."

"This time, I deliberately asked me to bring him back to the capital and cultivate him carefully."

If you want to train Gao Gong to become the chief assistant of Ming's cabinet in the future, you will naturally have to pass Zhu Houzhao's test first.

Zhu Houzhao naturally heard Gao Huan's implication, and thought: "This Gao Gong should be the person who was elected by the Gao family to carry the tripod."

Zhu Houzhao silently looked at Gao Gong's body, then said slowly, "I left Beijing in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring a companion with me, so let him be a book boy by my side for the time being." .”

After being frightened by Gao Huan that time, Gao Gong obviously became much more well-behaved. Hearing this, he didn't rush to agree, but silently looked at Gao Huan.

Gao Huan smiled slightly, patted Gao Gong on the shoulder lightly, and said: "This is your great fortune. When you are working with the young master, listen more, watch more, and talk less."

"Yes." Gao Gong nodded.

While the few people were talking, they suddenly saw a flying horse coming in front of Gao Huan, ran up to Gao Huan, got off the saddle, and said: "There is a purpose."

Gao Huan frowned, and silently looked at Zhu Houzhao, both of them saw something unusual in each other's eyes.

Gao Huan said: "This decree should be given to His Highness. In order to avoid revealing His Highness's identity, the emperor deliberately turned his hand away from me. It seems that this matter is not trivial."

After Gao Huan thought about it, he stretched out his hand to take the envelope from the knight, and after opening it for a glance, he suddenly took a breath and said, "Recently, a major event happened in the Jianghu. The six major factions besieged Guangmingding. The Lord ordered me to return to Beijing immediately."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao snatched the secret letter from Gao Huan's hand, and after reading it, he said excitedly: "Recently, I have been looking for a breakthrough, but I have not been able to do so. Now the six major factions are besieging Guangmingding. , I will go to observe the grand occasion, and this opportunity may help me break through the third-rank law state."

Gao Huan lowered his head silently to conceal the imperceptible struggle that flashed in his eyes, and thought: "This time, someone must be working in secret, trying to get out of the chaos and assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince."

"My target is Liu Jin. If there is something wrong with the crown prince, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of harm and no benefit."

When the matter came to an end, Gao Huan suddenly hesitated again.

Seeing that Gao Huan suddenly lowered his head and frowned and fell into deep thought, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, and said to Gao Huan in an unquestionable tone: "Old Gao, don't think about it, I won't go back to Beijing with you. The six major factions are besieging Guangming." Top, this is a major event that has never happened in the world for nearly a hundred years, we must go to Guangming Peak to observe the grand event."

When Liu Jin heard this, she was so startled that she shuddered, waved her hands again and again, and said, "My lord, no, absolutely no."

Liu Jin's move has two deep meanings. First, he is indeed loyal to Zhu Houzhao. He is worried that Zhu Houzhao will encounter accidents during this trip, so he tried his best to persuade Zhu Houzhao not to join in the fun.

The second is that he made an unforgivable mistake before. His behavior of kneeling and kowtowing to Zhu Houzhao in public may have exposed Zhu Houzhao's identity. For the sake of his own life, he didn't want Zhu Houzhao to put himself in danger.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately cast a sideways glance at Liu Jin with displeasure, and said, "You dog, how can you speak here?"

Like an ant on a hot pot, Liu Jin was running around in a hurry, winking at Gao Huan constantly, and said, "Gao Qianhu, you should say something."

Gao Huan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his next move really shocked everyone, but he actually pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist in public, put it on his neck, and said: "If you insist on going to Guangmingding to watch the battle , you need to kill me first, and then step over the body of the minister, otherwise, the minister will act according to the order and bring you back to the capital safely."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help frowning, and waved his hand to stop the master attendants who were going forward to take down Gao Huan. He silently looked directly into Gao Huan's eyes. After the two looked at each other for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth, Said; "Since you have made up your mind, I will do what you want."

"I don't want to kill people face to face. You turn your head and turn your back to me." Zhu Houzhao said.

Gao Huan nodded, handed Shuangsha to Zhu Houzhao, then turned around silently, with his back to Zhu Houzhao, and slowly closed his eyes, showing an appearance of closing his eyes and waiting to die.

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around coldly, stared at Liu Jin and others so that they all took a step back, then slowly raised his right hand, and slapped Gao Huan hard on the back of the neck.

"Ok?"

Gao Huan was hit hard on the back of the neck, and suddenly felt dizzy and swayed a few times. After struggling for a while, he finally fell headfirst into Zhu Houzhao's arms, rolled his eyes, and passed out on the spot.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Gao Huan who was unconscious in his arms with a smile, and said, "Forgive me, no matter how good your martial arts are, you can't beat Lao Tzu's tricks."

Zhu Houzhao looked sideways at Liu Jin, who was bewildered, waved his hand, and said, "Liu Jin, quickly bring the horse, and we will send troops to Kunlun Mountain in the Western Region immediately."

Hearing this, Liu Jin immediately showed a dead mother's expression, and said in a squeaky voice, "My lord, don't...don't, it's too dangerous there, let's not go there."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly raised his eyebrows at Liu Jin playfully, and said, "Liu Jin, if you can't obey me, then I can tell you right now, you'd better get out of here Go, I never lack loyal ministers and good generals, isn't it too late for you to pretend to be a loyal minister with Laozi?"

Zhu Houzhao said, and immediately added: "You'd better recognize your own existence value, but don't learn the wrong way."

Liu Jin couldn't help being startled when she heard this, and secretly said, "If I lose the trust of my master, then I really might as well die as soon as possible."

Once a person has enjoyed the taste of power, how can he give it up easily?
"I'm already a rootless person. If I lose the nourishment of rights, what's the point of my life? Forget it, forget it, let's go with the master."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin immediately led the horse to Zhu Houzhao, and took the initiative to express his feelings: "The slave will always be the master's slave, master, please get on the horse."
