My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 627 Xia Yuanji can equal a hundred warships

"Isn't that middle-aged man standing on the deck King Zhao?"

Xia Yuanji stood up excitedly and pointed at the warship that was accelerating forward.

I saw a middle-aged man standing with another man on the deck behind the warship, seeming to be talking about something?
"Xia Shangshu, you are mistaken. The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Sui. He is the secretary on the ship. From a distance, he looks a bit like his third uncle, but in fact, when you get closer, you will find that they are completely two people!"

Zhu Zhanhe explained calmly, but when he spoke, he moved his body, which happened to block Xia Yuanji's sight.

Xia Yuanji didn't believe Zhu Zhanhe's explanation at all. What's more, seeing Zhu Zhanhe's actions made him even more suspicious. Although he was older, his eyes were very good and he would never look at the wrong person.

But Zhu Zhanhe didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, but deliberately brought it up to other topics. Moreover, this time the boat in front of him was getting further and further away, and Xia Yuanji gradually couldn't see the people on the boat clearly, so he had to give up.

However, after this incident, Xia Yuanji had no intention of drinking and enjoying the scenery, so he found an excuse to return to the room after finishing the conversation.

After closing the door, Xia Yuanji thought about the situation again. He was sure that he was not mistaken. The person on the boat must be Zhu Gaosui.

"Could it be that when the King of Han entered the capital, he rescued King Zhao. During this period, King Zhao has been hiding on the prince's ship. No wonder Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been unable to find him!"

Xia Yuanji whispered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he guessed was the truth.

"But why did the King of Han want to save King Zhao? His Majesty's death was related to King Zhao. Shouldn't he hate King Zhao the most?"

Xia Yuanji suddenly thought of another question and frowned.

After a while, Xia Yuanji said again: "There are two possibilities. The first is that the King of Han hates the King of Zhao, and he is rescued to interrogate him clearly, and then avenge his majesty. The second possibility is that King Zhao was killed." Is the King of Han instigating your majesty’s back?”

Thinking of the second possibility, Xia Yuanji trembled with fear. If that were the case, it would be too scary. If he accidentally saw King Zhao today, would he be killed by the King of Han?
That night, Xia Yuanji completely lost sleep. One moment he thought of the conspiracy behind Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaoxu, the next moment he was worried about his own fate, and the next moment he thought of the little prince who was taken hostage by Zhu Gaoxu. Finally, his mind became a mess.

Zhu Zhanji's speed was faster than Xia Yuanji expected. Just seven days later, a navy led by Zhu Zhanji himself caught up from behind. First, it met with Zhang Fu's navy, causing the entire navy to The division suddenly increased to more than 100 warships.

In contrast, Zhu Gaoxu's side only had thirty warships. If there was a fight, Zhu Zhanji could completely surround Zhu Gaoxu's fleet.

"Zhan He, your good brother brought so many warships to catch up, not just to pick up his son, but to completely wipe us out at sea!"

Zhang Zhong looked at the huge fleet behind him and said to Zhu Zhanhe next to him with a solemn expression.

"I know he must have bad intentions, but don't worry, I have a way to deal with him!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled confidently.

"any solution?"

Zhang Zhong looked at Zhu Zhanhe in surprise when he heard this and asked. During this period, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe had something to hide from him, but Zhang Zhong did not deliberately inquire because he knew that if Zhu Zhanhe didn't tell him, there would definitely be someone else. The reason for not wanting him to know.

"It's very simple, let Xia Shangshu go back!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled. That day in front of Xia Yuanji, he deliberately let two ships carry Zhu Gaosui out of the fleet just to wait for this day.

"Just let Xia Shangshu go back?"

Zhang Zhong asked again in surprise.

"Yes, Shangshu Xia alone can be worth hundreds of warships. Big brother will definitely know what to do by then!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled proudly again, but did not explain too much.

It's not that he deliberately hid it from Zhang Zhong, but that this matter was related to the scandal of their old Zhu family, and it was really not convenient for outsiders to know.Seeing that Zhu Zhanhe did not explain, Zhang Zhong did not ask any more questions. Instead, he sent someone to send Xia Yuanji back according to Zhu Zhanhe's instructions.

In fact, when Zhu Zhanji first caught up with the fleet, Xia Yuanji told Zhu Zhanhe that he wanted to go back to see Zhu Zhanji, but Zhu Zhanhe kept dragging him back. Now Zhu Zhanhe finally agreed to send him back. Xia Yuanji also wished for it.

So Xia Yuanji took a small boat, left Zhu Zhanhe's fleet, and quickly came to Zhu Zhanji's boat.

Zhu Zhanji was riding a huge lucky boat called Longchu. When the people on the boat learned that the person on the boat was Xia Yuanji, they immediately picked him up.

Zhu Zhanji learned that Xia Yuanji was back and quickly summoned him in the lobby of the ship.

"My dear Xia Yuanji, long live my emperor!"

Xia Yuanji stepped forward and saluted.

"No need to be polite, Xia Shangshu, how is my prince doing?"

Zhu Zhanji asked Xia Yuanji with a cold expression.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, the little prince is at ease!"

Xia Yuanji said, telling some stories about how he met the little prince during this period. He took the same boat with Zhu Zhanhe's family and saw the little prince every day, so he naturally knew everything about his situation.

After hearing that his son was well, Zhu Zhanji's cold expression finally softened a little. Then he asked about the situation of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe and his son, and Xia Yuanji also answered them one by one.

"Your Majesty, I saw a man in the King of Han's fleet a few days ago!"

Xia Yuanji suddenly reported this.

"Oh? Who did you see?"

Zhu Zhanji asked casually.

"I saw King Zhao on one of the boats, but the Crown Prince strongly denied it, but I am sure that the other person is King Zhao!"

Xia Yuanji replied solemnly.

"what!"

When Zhu Zhanji heard the news, he stood up in shock, walked a few steps forward and asked Xia Yuanji, "Where is King Zhao now? Is he with the King of Han?"

"No. At that time, King Zhao's ship and another ship suddenly accelerated and escaped from the fleet. The prince said that the two ships were heading to the front, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt that the prince was lying!"

Xia Yuanji replied again.

"King Zhao was sent away by them!"

When Zhu Zhanji heard the news, he seemed to become very anxious. He walked up and down the hall with an uncertain expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to capture King Zhao and hold him accountable, I would like to discuss it with the King of Han. I think the King of Han must know that King Zhao is related to the death of the late emperor, and he might be willing to hand over King Zhao to your Majesty!"

Xia Yuanji thought that Zhu Zhanji wanted to capture Zhu Gaosui, so he suggested it.

"No, you don't have to worry about King Zhao's affairs, I have my own plan!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanji refused without thinking.
