King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

inside the room.

Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang looked at each other, and finally could only sigh.

He followed obediently, without playing any tricks on the matter, nor saying anything else.

Walking through the dark and damp corridor, passing by overcrowded cells.

Listening to the voices crying out for injustice, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but frown.

Not long after.

Led by the Jinyiwei, the group arrived outside the cell where Liu Ming and Li Tian were imprisoned.

Compared to other crowded cells.

The cells here seem particularly spacious and have ample space.

There was no one else in the huge cell except Liu Ming and Li Tian.

At the entrance, there were two Jinyiwei soldiers guarding the door.

Seeing the current situation, Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed involuntarily, and his eyes turned to Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei who was following beside him, with a look full of intriguing meaning.

Feeling the gazes falling on him, Ji Gang's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He laughed and did not explain too much.

After all, no one is a fool.

Based on the current situation, I can make a rough guess in my mind.

Then, Ji Gang quickly said:
"Your Majesty!"

"The person you want to mention."

"Already here."

While talking.

He waved at the Jinyiwei who were waiting at the door and said:
"One by one, what are you still standing there for?"

"Why don't you open the door quickly?"

"Let him go!"

"hurry up."

A sudden order.

The two Jinyiwei guarding the door were stunned on the spot. They looked at Ji Gang who was giving orders with an unbelievable look on their faces and subconsciously said:

"Commander-in-chief..."

"this…"

The words have not yet fallen.

Ji Gang's expression suddenly became serious, and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened. He glared at the two people who were about to speak, and shouted angrily:
"Bastard thing!"

"Are you deaf?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I told you to open the door, I told you to open the door and let them go!"

"hurry up!"

"I don't want to repeat this again."

"Do you understand?"

After hearing this.

He sensed the change in the atmosphere and felt the wrath coming from his boss.

Although the two Jinyiwei had many puzzles and doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to hesitate. After looking at each other, they turned around, took out the key in their arms, opened the tightly closed cell door, and shouted at the two imprisoned inside:
"Woke up!"

"Hurry up, you can go out now."

talking.

The two men entered and released Liu Ming and Li Tian, ​​who were shackled, and urged them to leave quickly.

The two people were released.

Without any further ado, he quickly went out, came before Zhu Gaoxu, knelt down, his face full of shame, and was about to say something.

However, before they could finish their words, they were interrupted by Zhu Gaoxu's angry scolding.

"Shut up!"

“A bunch of troublesome things.”

"What a disgrace! You have completely disgraced me."

"What are you still doing?"

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Do you want to be locked up again?"

"Or are you reluctant to leave here?"

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu glared fiercely at the two people kneeling on the ground, and then turned around and walked out with big strides without saying another word.

Liu Ming and Li Tian, ​​who were scolded, looked at each other, their faces showing more and more shame. Without any hesitation, they quickly stood up and followed Zhu Gaoxu's steps and left quickly.

It was as if he was afraid of being left here any longer.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Ji Gang, who had been silent the whole time, slowly raised his head and looked around at his subordinates who were staring at him in a daze. His face darkened and he said hatefully:

"What are you looking at?"

"Are you guys free?"

"Today, we have arrested so many suspicious people and put them in prison."

"How many people were interrogated?"

"How many people are there who have not yet been interrogated and eliminated?"

"Everyone in the prison is very busy."

"What are you guys still doing here?"

"Why don't you hurry up and help?"

"Do you want me to treat you?"

The two people who were originally curious listened to the scolding coming from their ears.

The expressions of the two men changed involuntarily, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across their faces.

Dele.

None of them are fools.

The two of them can be considered as old men who have followed Ji Gang for many years and can be called Ji Gang's confidants.

Thinking about what just happened.

There is no doubt that this is because his boss is being bullied.

I guess he's really angry and has no place to vent it!

After the two of them reacted, how could they dare to stay here any longer?
Wouldn't that just make yourself uncomfortable?

Then, the two of them bowed to Ji Gang respectfully and walked out quickly.

at the same time.

Out of the imperial prison.

Zhu Gaoxu walked in front, while Liu Ming and Li Tian walked behind with their heads down, looking like children who had done something wrong, with gloomy and guilty expressions.

When they arrived at the carriage, Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the war horses prepared for the two men and said:

"Let's go!"

"Follow me back home."

After hearing this.

The two people who had been lowering their heads suddenly raised their heads subconsciously and looked towards Zhu Gaoxu's position. With a hint of hesitation in their expressions, they spoke cautiously:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

"This, this, this...is this not good?"

"The two of us went directly to your house like this and were discovered by others."

"Will it be given to you, Your Majesty..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to interrupt them, his expression cold and indifferent, his words full of sarcasm, and he sneered:

"Ha ha……"

“Are you worried about the impact at this time?”

"What have you been doing so far?"

"I have come here in person to rescue them. Everyone knows what they should know, and those who don't know naturally won't know."

"It's better to be open and aboveboard than to try to hide it."

"What's there to fear?"

"Besides, how did you think it was so easy for me to get you out of this heavily guarded Jinyiwei prison?"

"I don't believe you didn't feel something was wrong with the place where you were imprisoned just now."

"Based on the moral conduct of both the Crown Prince and Ji Gang."

"Can you let go so easily?"

"Now that these two have spoken up, who dares to gossip about this matter?"

"Do not worry!"

Subsequently.

He walked onto the carriage, nodded to the driver, and headed towards the Prince of Han's Palace.

Liu Ming and Li Tian, ​​who were standing still, came to their senses and without any hesitation, quickly jumped on their horses and followed.

.........

The palace of the King of Han.

In the pavilion in the back garden.

Zhu Gaoxu leaned on the couch, drooping the teacup in his hand from time to time. After taking a sip of hot tea, he slowly raised his head, half-closed his eyes and stared at the two people in front of him with their heads lowered, and asked:

"Tell me about it!"

"You two are considered veterans in the intelligence field here."

"He is also the person the king trusts the most." "The king has clearly passed on the news in advance."

“Why didn’t you evacuate in time?”

"Why was he captured by others during the mass raid?"

"This shouldn't happen at all!"

"Such negligence..."

"Is it because everything has been going too smoothly lately?"

"Have you two completely lost your reverence for certain things?"

This statement came out.

Liu Ming and Li Tian bowed their heads, knelt down in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and then quickly shook their heads to deny:
"No, no, no...it's not."

"Your Majesty...it's really not true."

"We two definitely never had such thoughts."

"I beg you, Your Majesty, to learn from this."

In this regard.

In response to the denials of the two people in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand without commenting, without commenting on the matter or saying much. Instead, he waited quietly for the two to give him an answer to resolve his doubts.

Feeling the gazes falling on them, the two men were naturally not fools.

How could I not understand what Zhu Gaoxu meant?
then.

The two looked at each other. Liu Ming seemed to have thought of something. A trace of resentment and murderous intent appeared on his face. He said:
"Report to the prince."

"In this matter, we were tricked by the Jinyiwei and the prince's men."

"I thought we were united in our hatred of the enemy."

"The main goal is to find the Japanese pirates hiding in the dark."

"Who knows about those bastards."

"Their target is not limited to the Japanese bandits, but also those of us who are helping them."

"No no no..."

"Or rather, in the eyes of those bastards."

"As for the priority of the Japanese bandits, those of us who are helping them have a higher priority."

"Today, we are trying to capture the Japanese bandit we are monitoring."

"Those bastards didn't catch the Japanese bandits first, but instead attacked our people first."

"Don't be so shameless."

Having said this, he paused, as if he had thought of something, and continued:
"In fact, before receiving the retreat signal from the prince."

"We are responsible for surveillance, and the personnel deployed in the middle are ready to evacuate."

"But when we were preparing to retreat, we discovered that many Jinyiwei and the prince's men had appeared around us."

"And those people's target is undoubtedly us."

"To cover the evacuation of the main force."

"The two of us had no choice but to use ourselves as bait."

“It ended up in the hands of those individuals.”

Say it.

Liu Ming and Li Tian bowed heavily to Zhu Gaoxu, and then said in unison:

"This incident was caused by our negligence."

"This is what's happening now."

"The two of us are the commanders and planners of this operation."

“There is an unshirkable responsibility.”

"I beg your lord to punish me."

After listening to the two people's explanation.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but frown, and a hint of gloom flashed across his face.

to be frank.

Although I heard before that Liu Ming and Li Tian were arrested.

He had some guesses in his mind as to why the two were arrested.

I have also thought about this and it is very likely.

Certain people are taking advantage of this incident to infiltrate his power.

But at this moment.

After listening to their detailed explanation, I got the definite answer.

This also made Zhu Gaoxu secretly surprised.

It’s really cruel!

It is obvious that this matter involves the boss's life.

At this point, this bastard still has the mind to mess around here.

Do things that harm others and benefit yourself.

Are you really not afraid at all that things might go wrong?
Or was it because of this incident that he became dissatisfied?
After a brief silence, Zhu Gaoxu's frown slowly relaxed. He then waved at the two people kneeling on the ground, signaling them to stand up, and continued speaking:
"This matter."

"Although someone is plotting against you."

"But your reactions show the level of awareness of the situation."

"This really disappoints me."

"Do you remember what I said when I taught you how to collect intelligence?"

"As a secret agent, completing the mission is not the first priority."

"It's really about saving your life and not exposing yourself to other people's eyes. That's the most important thing."

"Only by not exposing yourself and not showing off your true colors can you gain more intelligence."

"Although right now, something like this is happening."

"You two have done your best to minimize our losses."

"However, this king has always been clear about rewards and punishments."

"Wrong is wrong, right is right."

"You two have equal merits and demerits in this matter."

"I will not pursue matters of responsibility."

"But now, the two of you must have become famous in the Jinyiwei and the prince's place."

“It’s no longer suitable for the current job.”

After hearing this.

The two people who had just stood up were so scared that they knelt down again.

No?

Does this mean giving up on them or abandoning them?
Then, the two wanted to say something else.

But the words haven't been spoken yet.

He was interrupted again by Zhu Gaoxu, who said:
"okay!"

"What are you excited about?"

"Do not worry!"

"Didn't I tell you two to retire, or abandon you?"

"After all, you know the rules of being a spy better than anyone else."

"It's not suitable. It's not suitable."

"How about this!"

"tomorrow……"

"After the city gates are unsealed."

"All of you should just go directly to my fiefdom and go back to your old business!"

"Everything is subject to the princess's orders and arrangements."

"Recently, the princess has often complained to me in her letters about the lack of manpower."

"You two are just the right size."

"Any objection?"

Go to the fiefdom?
Obey the princess's orders and arrangements?

so far so good……

I originally thought that I had lost my usefulness.

It's time to say goodbye completely.

Unexpectedly!

This is like a silver lining after a dark period!

Moreover.

What was done in the fiefdom.

In comparison, what they are doing now is many times more stable.

It’s not too late to be happy!
In this regard.

How could the two of them dare to have any opinions now?
The two of them looked excited and quickly agreed:
"promise!"

"Everything depends on the prince."

"I have no objection."

Afterwards, after Zhu Gaoxu had arranged everything, he waved to the two people in front of him.

The two people kneeling on the ground were also very tactful. They stood up and left quickly.

After the two left, Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment and shouted to the outside of the door:
"Somebody come!"

"Send Lao He to see this king."
