Chapter 629: The Jianghu People Are Too Honest

Early the next morning, the emperor returned to Beijing.

It was a rare thing that Xinbao woke up when he was being dressed. He was then carried to Emperor Mingpeidi, wrapped in a thin blanket and placed on Yeye's shoulders, looking around with his sleepy eyes blinking.

At this moment, the room was still the same, not cleaned up at all, and there was no sign of leaving. There was no noise outside, just like every other morning.

It wasn't until Emperor Mingpei was reading a book and leisurely drinking a cup of tea that Fang Wuyou came over and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Emperor Mingpei nodded, then stood up holding Xinbao, walked out of the yard and got on the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, miraculously, the book that Emperor Mingpei had just read half of was spread out on the table and he could continue reading it as soon as he picked it up.

Xinbao looked out the window out of curiosity and saw a large group of young eunuchs quickly entering the yard, apparently to clean up the things in the room.

Bathed in the cool breeze of the early morning, Tuanzi sneezed a little, grabbed Yeye's collar, buried his little face in it, and continued to sleep peacefully.

It was a little chilly in the morning, but Yeye felt warm and the soapberry scent smelled nice.

Emperor Mingpei wanted to put her down, but she whined and was unwilling, so Emperor Mingpei had to hold her in his arms while he had breakfast.

Xinbao felt that he had woken up, but was still too lazy to move until Tiancong came in to report.

Bai Gusheng gave Yang Xiu Gu another acupuncture treatment, and Tian Cong took the opportunity to interrogate her again.

Yang Xiu'gu had been exposed by Tuanzi before, and she was terrified. Plus, her life was still in the other person's hands, so she had no intention of resisting and finally confessed.

The man was indeed wearing a hood when she was ambushed, but she still recognized him.

His name was Zheng Anzhong, nicknamed the Blue Sky Hero, and he had a very good reputation in the martial arts world. It was said that he was smart and clever, proficient in both civil and military affairs, kind-hearted and generous...which was exactly what Emperor Mingpei had guessed before.

Yang Xiu'gu, nicknamed Lady of Twin Swords, was a famous lone escort. She once lost her escort and then found it with the help of Zheng Anzhong.

So Yang Xiu'gu was extremely grateful to him and had a secret crush on him. She had not married even in her middle age and often found excuses to see him. She was so familiar with his every word and action, as if they were engraved in her heart. So even if the other party did not show up and she did not recognize him at all, she still recognized him.

But other than that, everything she said was true.

After listening to Tian Cong's words, Yuan Shenjue frowned and asked, "Another surname of Zheng?"

Hao Huashi said: "Zheng Shubei and Zheng Anzhong, these two names are a bit strange."

Before anyone else could say anything, Tuanzi twisted her butt, sat on Yeye's lap, and shouted, "The blue sky hero must be Zheng Shubei!!"

"Oh, Master is awake!" Hao Huashi asked with a smile: "Why?"

Tuanzi said, "This is very simple! The one nicknamed "Blue Sky Knight" is definitely not a blue sky or a knight at all! The one nicknamed "Gentleman Sword" is definitely a hypocrite! The one nicknamed "Iron Face Impartial" is definitely corrupt and commits all kinds of evil in private! All of them are like this! This is how you can catch them off guard!!"

There were still embroidery marks on Tuanzi's face, and he looked sleepy but confident, like a wise man after the event: "The antonym of the Qingtian hero is a thief who steals the sky, so he must be a rebel leader! The rebel leader is Zheng Shubei, so Zheng Anzhong is Zheng Shubei!!"

It makes perfect sense! Nothing wrong with it!! Emperor Mingpei, who is always at a loss for words when faced with his granddaughter’s talent: “…”

Several people held their foreheads, not knowing what else to say.

After a while, Yuan Shenjue suddenly said: "Xinbao is right. Zheng Shubei, Zheng Anzhong...weakness is calm, Shuan is steady, attacking the strong and grinding the strong, no one can compete with them."

Emperor Mingpei was also stunned, then nodded slowly.

Illiterate Hao Huashi: “……???”

Illiterate Dumpling: “……???”

She looked at her wife with wide eyes.

Yuan Shenjue couldn't help but smile, and explained to her: "This sentence comes from Huainanzi, which literally means 'gentle and quiet, stable and comfortable, then you can overcome great difficulties, and no one can fight against you.'"

"Oh!" Hao Huashi originally thought that the young master was just saying this to protect Tuanzi, but his eyes lit up as he listened: "And there's Shubei and Anzhong!! East, South, West, North, and Center!! So according to this, there's Zheng Shubei, Zheng Anzhong, Zheng Yidong... Oh my god!"

He slapped his thigh and said, "There really is a person named Zheng Yidong! He is a swordsman! He has a good reputation! But Zheng Dingnan? I don't think there is one. Zheng Dingxi? No one either."

He muttered to himself: "Zheng Roudong? Zheng Ruo what? Zheng Jing what? It seems like there is none of them."

Yuan Shenjue nodded: "Maybe it started with the word Shu. Maybe Shu and Bei have some special meanings to him. After all, Zheng Shubei is his identity as a disciple. These people know that this should be the most commonly used and main identity."

Hao Huashi said: "What should we do now?"

Emperor Mingpei said directly: "Go to the sea to catch the clerk."

Hao Huashi said: "What if he runs away?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yuan Shenjue said: "Don't worry about whether he runs away or not, and don't worry about whether he can be caught or not. For someone with such a good reputation and many friends, destroying his reputation and friends is equivalent to destroying his identity. Even if he can't be caught, there is very little he can do."

Hao Huashi suddenly realized: "That's right, you guys are good at playing, we Jianghu people are still too honest."

at this time.

Longshan County.

Guo Dong and his companions watched the emperor leave.

Guo Jingrui was granted special permission and was incorporated into the Longxiong Guard in advance, and has now left with them.

However, Guo Dong and his companions had to stay to take part in the special military examination in October, so they did not follow the imperial carriage.

Last night, they had performed a ritual for Shen Shouyan and the military officers. Guo Dong still had a hangover headache and sighed, "We are getting old, old!"

"Yes!" Qiu Jiang also said, "We are really old! We old guys are a little embarrassed to participate in the martial arts examination with this group of young people!"

Guo Dong laughed and said, "You promised it yourself, don't back out when the time comes!! Lord Liu even asked me to urge you to go when the time comes!"

Qiu Jiang smiled and shook his head: "Of course I won't."

Several people walked back while talking.

As they were walking, they ran into a man who was hurrying towards them. When they saw each other, Guo Dong and the others were a little surprised: "Old Zheng? Why is it you?"

The great hero Zheng Anzhong, who was nearly forty years old, had no beard and still looked very handsome. However, his clothes and hair were covered with dust and he looked anxious. He said from a distance, "Old Guo, Brother Qiu! Has the emperor left?"

"Yes!" Guo Dong said, "We just left early this morning. What's wrong?"

Zheng Anzhong slapped his thigh: "Ah!! It's still too late! One step too late!!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Guo Dong hurriedly comforted him: "What's going on? Tell me first!"
