My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 125 The Son of Zhongshan King

The front garden of Qiu Xing Garden was already screaming and killing, Jin Yiwei and private soldiers started a tragic fight.

But the back garden of Qiuxing Garden was still very quiet. In a gazebo by the water, two people sat facing each other, with a chessboard in front of them.

The chess game has reached the end, and life and death will soon be decided.

"I lost. I have been playing with my husband for so many years, but I still haven't made much progress!"

At this moment, the fat chess player sitting on the right dropped his chess piece and said, he is Xu Yingxu, the owner of Qiuxing Garden.

"Xu Gong is not calm, otherwise he wouldn't lose so fast!"

On the opposite side, a 50-year-old, quaint-looking middle-aged man smiled.

Although the fighting in front came from time to time, Xu Yingxu and Xu Yingxu both looked calm, as if no one took it to heart.

"Sir, you really don't plan to leave?"

Xu Yingxu was indeed restless. After all, Jin Yiwei had surrounded the entire garden, and the private soldiers he had painstakingly cultivated were struggling to support him, but the shouts of killing outside were getting closer and closer. I'm afraid it won't last long. Jin Yiwei might come in at any time .

"I'm not leaving. Over the past ten years or so, I've had enough of hiding somewhere. Rather than dying in hiding, I'd rather die here!"

The middle-aged man smiled, and then said very freely.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Xu Yingxu also sighed, and then blamed himself: "It's all my fault that I was too careless to be caught by someone!"

"I can't blame you. If we didn't kill Ji Gang yesterday, we would all be implicated by him, but I didn't expect that the prince of the King of Han would be so shrewd. He found you on the basis of just that little clue." .”

The middle-aged man also sighed. At this time, the shouts outside became smaller and smaller, and Jin Yiwei's footsteps were getting closer instead.

Hearing the sound outside, the middle-aged man smiled calmly, reached out and took out a box from his arms, and when he opened it, there was a green pill inside.

The middle-aged man opened the teapot next to him, then threw the pills into the pot, shook it a few times before pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Xu Gong, Jin Yiwei is about to come in, how about you and I go to Huangquan together?"

The middle-aged man said that he was about to pour tea for Xu Yingxu. What he put into the tea just now was a kind of poison, and he would surely die if he swallowed it.

"No need!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yingxu waved his hand and refused.

"My father is the king of Zhongshan. Back then, he joined the emperor Taizu to lead the army to wipe out the heroes and destroy the Mongolian Yuan in the north. He was the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty and the head of the six founding kings!"

When Xu Yingxu mentioned his father's achievements, his face showed pride, and then he grabbed the precious sword beside him, stood up suddenly and said: "Although I, Xu Yingxu, am not as good as my father, I am also the queen of Zhongshan King. I can't lose my father's face!"

As soon as Xu Yingxu finished speaking, a group of murderous Jin Yiwei finally arrived. Many of them were wounded, and the weapons in their hands were also stained with the blood of the enemy.

"Xu Yingxu is here!"

The leader of the Jinyiwei Baihu saw the fat Xu Yingxu at a glance, and immediately yelled, leading his subordinates and rushing over. He wanted to live Xu Yingxu, so as to claim credit from His Majesty.

Seeing the Jin Yiwei getting closer, Xu Yingxu was not afraid at all. He slowly drew out the sword, and then roared a tiger, and even took the initiative to kill him.

Xu Yingxu was fat and big, and he used to need help from his servants when he walked, but now he was stabbed by himself, but he was like a tiger descending a mountain, how could he look fat and bloated at all?
The eager Baihu rushed forward, and before he could react, Xu Yingxu's precious sword had already slashed over.

Fortunately, this Baihu was also skilled in martial arts, so he immediately raised the Xiuchun knife in his hand, trying to block Xu Yingxu's knife.

Hearing a "choke~", Baihu's knife successfully blocked Xu Yingxu's knife, but when the two knives touched, Baihu felt desperate, because he felt that the other party's strength was incredible, and he couldn't even touch it. It is impossible to block this knife.

In fact, it was the same. Xu Yingxu cut off the Xiuchun knife in Baihu's hand with one blow, and the knife hit Baihu's neck without any loss.

Baihu only felt a chill on his neck, and then the whole world seemed to be tumbling, and then he didn't know anything.

"Hundred households!"

Jin Yiwei at the back saw with his own eyes that Xu Yingxu cut off the heads of a hundred households with a single knife, and blood spurted out several feet, splashing all over them.

"Revenge for Hundred Households!"

Seeing that a hundred households had been killed, one of the general banners rushed forward again with a roar, and the other Jinyi guards also woke up one after another, laying out a battle formation to besiege Xu Yingxu.

However, Xu Yingxu seemed to be very familiar with Jin Yiwei's fighting methods, he hacked and killed several people one after another while advancing and retreating, and hundreds of Jin Yiwei couldn't take him down.

Seeing Xu Yingxu who was like a tiger joining a pack of wolves, the middle-aged man sitting in front of the chessboard laughed, then raised his teacup to toast Xu Yingxu, and then drank it down.

In a moment, the face of the middle-aged man showed pain, and then the nose and mouth began to pour out blood, and the whole person collapsed on the chessboard, and finally the blood dyed the chessboard blood red.

When Zhu Zhanhe accompanied Zhu Di to the back garden of Qiuxing Garden, he saw that Xu Yingxu was already covered in blood, but he was still fighting fiercely.

He took advantage of the terrain of the pavilion facing the water, and stood alone at the entrance of the pavilion, making it impossible for Jin Yiwei to surround him. He only had to face a few enemies at a time. Although his whole body was wounded, he also hacked and killed dozens of Jin Yiwei.

But at this time Xu Yingxu was already at the end of his strength. After all, even though he was skilled in martial arts, his strength was not infinite. The successive fights had left him covered in bruises, and his strength was exhausted little by little. He might fall under the sword of Jin Yiwei at any time.

"Get out!"

But at this moment, Zhu Di suddenly ordered.

The guards in Jinyi who were fighting were ordered to stop them, and immediately drew back their swords and retreated to the side. Only Xu Yingxu, who was like a blood man, was left standing with his sword, holding his body and refusing to take half a step back.

Zhu Di stepped forward and looked at Xu Yingxu with complicated eyes, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"Second, I really underestimated you!"

Zhu Di looked at Xu Yingxu and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, you only have the boss and the fourth child in your eyes, why have you ever looked at me?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yingxu asked back with a sneer, his face covered with blood looked very ferocious.

"Judging from the meaning of your words, it seems that there is resentment?"

Zhu Di asked again in a deep voice.

"There are four of us, the third died early, the eldest and the fourth are both dukes, but I am just a small commander. If it were you, would you have any resentment?"

Xu Yingxu asked again with a sneer.

Xu Yingxu's eldest brother, Xu Huizu, inherited the title of Duke of Wei from Xu Da, while his fourth brother, Xu Zengshou, was even killed by Zhu Yunqi because of his meritorious service to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di chased him as Duke of Dingguo.

The Xu family is one family of two countries, but Xu Yingxu is only a commander, so it's no wonder that he feels unbalanced.

"So it's all my fault, I'm not listening to your elder sister!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di said with regret when he heard the words.

"What did my sister say?"

When Xu Yingxu heard about Empress Xu, his expression became a little unnatural.

"Your eldest sister once told me that among you brothers, you are the most skilled in martial arts and the most ambitious, but your only shortcoming is that you are too narrow-minded. Unfortunately, I didn't care about it at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have today's matter!"

Zhu Di sighed and said.

"It's too late to say anything now. I've tried my best all these years, and I even made myself a fat man. I usually need someone to help me when I walk, just to avoid arousing suspicion, but I didn't expect that my whereabouts were exposed!"

When Xu Yingxu said this, his eyes turned to Zhu Zhanhe who was beside him, and he showed an expression of admiration and said, "Your Majesty, I was wrong at the beginning, and I didn't expect to lose to you!"

"No, you didn't lose to me, but to your own ambition!"

Zhu Zhanhe shook his head and said.

Sometimes he really couldn't understand a person like Xu Yingxu, who was born in a prominent family and had inexhaustible glory and wealth in his life, but because of his own ambition, he not only ruined his own life, but even affected the family members around him. Know whether to say they are smart or stupid?
"Ambition? Hehe, maybe, but who in this world doesn't have ambition, and your father's ambition is probably bigger than mine!"

Xu Yingxu was not moved at all. For an ambitious man like him, since he set foot on this road, it was impossible to turn back.

"Who is that in the pavilion behind you?"

Zhu Di pointed to the middle-aged man lying on the chessboard and asked, the other party had long been silent, probably dead for a long time.

"Him? It's okay to tell you, after all, he is also your old acquaintance!"

Xu Yingxu had already put life and death behind him, so he no longer had the slightest scruples at this moment.

"I know him? Who the hell is he?"

Zhu Di frowned and asked again.

"He is the former supervisory censor Ye Xixian!"

Xu Yingxu chuckled, and finally revealed the identity of the middle-aged man.

Hearing the name "Ye Xixian", Zhu Di's face immediately darkened.

Zhu Zhanhe next to him was also shocked, because the name Ye Xixian involved Zhu Yunqi's whereabouts.

When Zhu Di entered Jinling City, a fire broke out in the palace. It is said that Zhu Yunqi died in the fire.

But there are also rumors that Zhu Yunwen escaped from the capital through a secret passage in the palace when Zhu Di entered the city, and then disappeared.

Among the people who accompanied Zhu Yunqi to escape, the three most important ministers were Cheng Ji, Yang Yingneng, and Ye Xixian. There were many stories about the whereabouts of these three people in history, but it was unexpected that Ye Xixian was hiding in Xu Yingxu's place. .

Zhu Zhanhe has always been very curious about Zhu Yunqi's life and death. He even asked Zhu Gaoxu when he was chatting, but Zhu Gaoxu said that he didn't know, because when he entered Jinling, Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to patrol the city, and Zhu Di personally led his troops into Jinling. After entering the imperial city, it was announced that Zhu Yunqi had died in the fire.

Therefore, Zhu Di probably knows best about Zhu Yunqi's life and death.

"Ye Xixian is here with you. You really took refuge in him secretly. What kind of benefits did he give you?"

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe was also enlightened. The "he" in Zhu Di's mouth, there is no other person except Zhu Yunqi, so this also proves that Zhu Yunqi really escaped back then!
