Chapter 34 The credit fell from the sky
After struggling for a while, Ge Hai couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why don't we take the Yanshan Road? We have to go around a lot more by taking the Queming Road."

"Just walk the way I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Ge Cheng scolded.

Ge Hai's expression froze. He didn't dare to say anything else and drove the car obediently.

"Grrrrrrrrrr."

The carriage moved forward slowly.

Inside the car, Ge Cheng had a complicated expression, thinking to himself, "I hope everything will be in time."

Shaking his head, he threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, reached out to open the curtain of the carriage, and looked at the scene outside.

"What's wrong with Dad? I didn't provoke him, why is he so angry? Didn't he get enough rest just now?"

"However, it's okay to scold me. When we get to Prince Yan's Mansion, please make sure nothing happens."

"."

Ge Hai was driving the carriage while thinking secretly in his heart.

After being scolded by Ge Cheng, he didn't dare to ask him any questions, but this did not prevent him from making associations in his mind.

"Stop!"

When the carriage reached a corner of Queming Road, Ge Cheng's voice was heard from inside the carriage.

"Ah?" Ge Hai was stunned, and then subconsciously pulled the reins of the horse: "Whoa!"

"Shh!"

Ge Cheng jumped down from the carriage and without waiting for Ge Hai to ask, he took the initiative to say, "I suddenly have diarrhea. Please wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry without waiting for Ge Hai's response.

"This..." Ge Hai looked at Ge Cheng's back with a look of surprise.

Ge Hai knew that time was running out for him, so he didn't dare to delay for even a second and went straight to Zhang Xin's house.

After a while.

When Ge Cheng saw Zhang Xin, he was breathing heavily and panting: "Huff, huff, huff"

"Ge Changshi, what are you doing?" Zhang Xin looked at Ge Cheng in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

Ge Cheng calmed his breath, reached out and took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to Zhang Xin without saying anything. He said seriously, "General Zhang, I'm pressed for time now, so I can't explain it in detail. Listen to me, I'm also your Majesty's man. Send someone to deliver this letter to your Majesty immediately. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xin took the letter, looked at Ge Cheng in front of him, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay!"

"Hello, I still have to go to Prince Yan's Mansion for a banquet, so I'll leave first." Ge Cheng let out a long sigh, turned around and walked away.

Zhang Xin looked at Ge Cheng's back, then at the letter in his hand. He was a little confused, with an extremely strange expression: "What the hell is going on?"

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then carefully placed the letter in his arms.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, he was very clear about one thing: he might be able to make a contribution, and this contribution would come to him voluntarily.

On the surface, Ge Cheng was Zhu Di's man, but in fact he was Zhu Yunwen's man.

On the surface, he was Zhu Yunwen's man, but in fact he was Zhu Di's man.

This happened, what a coincidence.

"Fortunately, I didn't expose myself directly before, otherwise, the credit I got would be lost." Zhang Xin smiled lightly, feeling the benefit of hiding his identity.

After delivering the letter to Zhang Xin, Ge Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the carriage leisurely.

"Dad, are you okay?" Ge Hai asked cautiously.

"It's okay, let's go!" Ge Cheng said.

"Hmm?" Ge Hai was stunned. He felt the change in Ge Cheng's tone and thought to himself, "Could it be that my father had a stomachache just now, so his tone was bad?"

Although he had this guess, he didn't dare to ask, fearing that he would be scolded again if he guessed wrong.

He has no masochistic tendencies.

"Dad, sit tight, let's go!" "Go!"

Ge Hai pulled the reins.

"Grrrrrrrrrr."

The carriage started moving again.

Ge Cheng sat in the carriage, thinking about the situation at hand, his brows furrowed. "Besides Prince Ning, are there any other princes that Prince Yan has wooed?"

Prince Yan’s Mansion!
The palace is very lively at this moment.

Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Gong, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other close associates of Zhu Di were all there.

"What's going on with the Chief Secretary? He's the protagonist tonight, so why hasn't he come yet? Could something have happened?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Ge Changshi has done a great service to the prince this time. Why not wait for him for a while? Besides, I estimate that he will be here soon."

"You're right. This time, the Chief Secretary went to Yingtian Prefecture and really risked his life. Although he came back alive, we can't ignore his sacrifice."

"That's right, I'm going to have a couple more drinks with Changshi later."

"."

Everyone was talking at once, and everyone was very happy.

They all admired Ge Cheng for risking his life to go to Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Di looked calm as he watched the lively scene before him.

Although he had some doubts about Ge Cheng in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He even generously hosted a dinner for Ge Cheng and rewarded him.

After all, as everyone said, Ge Cheng actually took a great risk when he went to Yingtian Prefecture this time. We cannot let this matter go just because Ge Cheng returned safely from Yingtian Prefecture.

Rewarding those who have made contributions is the basis for his ability to win people's hearts.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wu hurried over and winked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di understood and walked aside.

"Your Highness, the route Ge Changshi took to come to the palace was not along Yanshan Road, but via Queming Road. The carriage stopped for a while during the journey. Ge Changshi used the excuse of having a stomachache to go to General Zhang Xin's house." Zhang Wu leaned close to Zhu Di and whispered.

Zhu Di's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he asked with a playful expression, "Did Ge Cheng go to see Zhang Xin?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhang Wu nodded.

"Okay, you can go down. You don't need to monitor Ge Cheng anymore." Zhu Di waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wu bowed, turned around and walked away.

"Ge Changshi, you're here! If you hadn't come, we would have suspected that something had happened to you."

"Ge Changshi, you are the protagonist of tonight. Please come in. The banquet is waiting for you. As a punishment for being late, you will have to drink two more glasses later."

"Ge Changshi, you've just made a contribution, and you've made us wait for so long. However, considering your contribution is significant enough, I won't hold it against you."

"."

When everyone saw Ge Cheng, they all came forward, chatting and joking with each other.

Ge Cheng smiled wryly and clasped his fists, saying, "Everyone, I'm so sorry. I suddenly had a stomachache on the way and delayed me for a while. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll drink three cups as punishment later."

"You have a stomachache? So that's the case. I was wondering why you, Ge Changshi, haven't come yet. Are you feeling better now?" Zhu Gaochi asked with concern.

Ge Cheng said: "Thank you for your concern, my son. I am much better now."

Zhu Di looked at Ge Cheng, who was mingling with everyone, with a cold look in his eyes. He walked out with a smile and said, "Chief, no one can drink well tonight, but you must drink to your heart's content!"
