Since leaving the capital last time, Jiang Xia has never seen Zhu Houzhao again.

Now that I am about to see you again, Jiang Xia finds that she still feels excited about seeing her old friend soon.

Let the world change and the years pass. Some feelings are always kept in mind, just like the close friends who have deep feelings when they were studying. Maybe they rarely contact each other after leaving society, but if they meet, they can still recall the time when they climbed over the wall and skipped school together.

Jiang Xia held Zhu Yujiang in his hand and stood in front of the palace for a while, recalling his past grievances and grievances of Zhu Houzhao in his mind, until Zhu Yujiang asked, "Trial tutor, why haven't we gone in to see our father yet? Doesn't the Tai tutor want to see our father?"

Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at Zhu Yujiang, reached out and rubbed Zhu Yujiang's head, and shook his head with a smile: "No, why would the Grand Tutor not want to see your father? Let's go."

After saying that, Jiang Xia led Zhu Yujiang to the palace.

It was obvious that someone in the palace had explained it early in the morning, so as soon as Jiang Xia entered the palace, a guard came to salute and asked: "Are you two the Grand Tutor Jiang Xiajiang and His Royal Highness?"

"That's right." Jiang Xia nodded.

The guard turned his body and pointed to the palace, saying, "Master Taifu, please come from the Prince's Highness."

The guards took Jiang Xia and Zhu Yujiang to the palace hall together. Before they even stepped into the hall, Jiang Xia saw Zhu Houzhao with his back facing him.

The guard who led the way in front knelt down at the entrance of the hall and said, "Emperor, Grand Tutor Jiang, His Highness the Prince has arrived."

Zhu Houzhao still turned his back to the entrance and said, "Let them come in."

"Yes." After responding, the guard reached out to point to the hall and whispered to Jiang Xia and Zhu Yujiang: "Please please, Your Highness the Prince."

Jiang Xia nodded and led Zhu Yujiang into it.

After walking about ten steps away from Zhu Houzhao, Jiang Xia led Zhu Yujiang to kneel on the ground. Zhu Yujiang glanced at Jiang Xia and said first: "My son is in charge of the general, I wish you a long life to your father."

Then Jiang Xia bowed: "I am here to see the emperor, long live my emperor."

Zhu Houzhao finally turned around and said behind his hands: "Don't give me a favor, just keep your body flat."

"Thank you Father (Emperor)." Jiang Xia led Zhu Yujiang and stood up, his head lowered slightly, without looking directly at Long Yan.

When Zhu Houzhao saw Jiang Xia's respectful look, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. He sighed and said, "Jiang Xia, after so many years, are you still blaming me?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xia finally raised her head and looked directly at Zhu Houzhao.

More than five years have passed, and Zhu Houzhao seems to have matured a lot, and it can even be said that she is much older.

The "second son" who called "big brother" all day long has now gained weight slightly and has a beard on his mouth.

Considering his age, Zhu Houzhao should be only about thirty at this moment. But from his appearance, he seems to be in his forties.

While Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao also looked at Jiang Xia. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you don't seem to have grown old at all, but you are still as young as you were back then."

When Zhu Houzhao mentioned the word "then", Jiang Xia felt quite touched and said, "Maybe there are fewer hard work, so people are not likely to look old. But you seem to have changed a lot."

Jiang Xia's "You" made Zhu Houzhao smile knowingly. At this moment, the two finally found the feeling of being sworn brothers.

Zhu Hou took a look at Zhu Yujiang beside Jiang Xia and said, "How is it? Did Yujiang follow you and cause you any trouble?"

Zhu Yujiang quickly looked at Jiang Xia with an expectant look on his face. Jiang Xia looked down at Zhu Yujiang and said, "He is very well-behaved."

Zhu Yujiang clearly smiled, and Zhu Houzhao also smiled.

Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Come here."

Soon two maids walked from the side hall to the main hall, "I'm here."

"Take the prince down to rest first and order the imperial chef to prepare lunch." Zhu Houzhao ordered.

"Yes." The two maids responded.

Zhu Yujiang was indeed very well-behaved and sensible. He bowed to Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao, and then said, "Father, Grand Tutor, Yu Jiang retired."

Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao both smiled and nodded at Zhu Yujiang, watching the two maids take Zhu Yujiang out of the hall.

After Zhu Yujiang left, Zhu Houzhao pointed to a chair in the hall and signaled Jiang Xia to sit there.

Jiang Xia walked over and sat down, and Zhu Houzhao followed him to sit down on a chair next to Jiang Xia. There was a square small table between them.

Zhu Houzhao first spoke, "How is it? It's been five years, so you should have enough of what you should play. When will you go back to the capital?"

Jiang Xia glanced at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Do you want me to go back to the capital very much, or do you need me to go back to the capital very much?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and replied: "There are both."

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "I won't discuss this matter for now. I have another thing to tell you."

After saying that, Jiang Xia took out several letters from his arms and handed them to Zhu Houzhao.

"This is what I found in the Ningwang Mansion after I and Jiangxi Governor Wang Shouren broke through Nanchang together. It was Liu Jin..."

"It was Liu Jin and Wang Ning who colluded with him to help him restore the guards and buy leather armor and swords, right?"

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao in shock, "Do you know?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, clapped her hands and said, "Liu Jin, come out!"

Soon, in Jiang Xia's surprised gaze, Liu Jin, who was still wearing a bandage on his right hand, walked out of the side hall. Seeing Jiang Xia, Liu Jin's face was full of smiles. If ordinary people looked at it, they would definitely feel that it was full of kindness, but in Jiang Xia's view, Liu Jin's smile was clearly proud and provoking.

Jiang Xia slapped the handle of the chair and suddenly stood up. He pulled out a dagger from his boots and walked towards Liu Jin step by step and said, "What I cannot tolerate most in my life is that others attack the people around me. Since you have done it and dare to appear in front of me, let us decide on life and death."

With Liu Jin's martial arts, even if he cut off one hand, he would not be afraid of Jiang Xia. But Liu Jin still took two steps back and turned his head to look at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao reached out and grabbed Jiang Xia and said, "Okay, don't use a knife and a sword as soon as we meet."

Jiang Xia looked back at Zhu Houzhao and said unhappily: "What? If I don't move my sword, can I drink and talk to him?"

"Hey, this is a good suggestion."

Zhu Houzhao reached out and took the dagger from Jiang Xia's hand and said, "He has told me about Liu Jin and King Ning. He has also been deceived by King Ning. He cannot blame him all. As for your previous grievances and grievances with Liu Jin, there are many of them misunderstandings. Today, I will make the decision. You two shake hands, have two drinks later, and have a glass of wine to relieve your grudges."

"Being deceived by King Ning? Misunderstanding?" Jiang Xia really didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao would define his previous grievances and grievances with Liu Jin so lightly.

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao, and the disappointment in her eyes remained unshakable.

Jiang Xia sneered and nodded, "Yes, I misunderstood Eunuch Liu before, and it really caused a lot of trouble for Eunuch Liu. Today I will let me shake hands with Eunuch Liu and make peace."

After saying that, Jiang Xia turned around and walked to Liu Jin, stretched out his right hand to face Liu Jin.

However, Liu Jin's right hand had been cut off by himself, so Jiang Xia quickly changed his left hand.

Liu Jin smiled and stretched out his left hand to hold it with Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia leaned forward and leaned against Liu Jin's ear and whispered to Liu Jin: "There is no end to the matter between you and me..."

Liu Jin also used his skills to shrink his voice into a thread, which is the legendary voice transmission into secret. "Don't worry, our hand will be repaid with the lives of everyone around you."

Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said next to Liu Jin's ear: "You have no chance."

Jiang Xia's right hand, a dagger slid out of her sleeve and fell into his hand. Jiang Xia held the dagger and inserted it directly into Liu Jin's chest.

Liu Jin shook his whole body, and Jiang Xia simply hugged Liu Jin's neck directly, pulled out the dagger and stabbed it several times again.

Liu Jin's right palm was broken, and he was powerless to push Jiang Xia away.

Jiang Xia finally said next to Liu Jin's ear: "What I hate the most is that others threaten me."

After saying that, Jiang Xia took two steps back and pushed Liu Jin away directly.

Liu Jin looked at Jiang Xia, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in his mouth, and then shouted at Zhu Houzhao: "Emperor...Emperor."

Zhu Houzhao was also shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Xia to suddenly kill Liu Jin.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but roar at Jiang Xia: "Jiang Xia!"

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao indifferently without saying a word.

Zhu Houzhao sighed angrily and angrily, and finally he had to shout: "Come here, pass it to the imperial doctor, pass it to the imperial doctor immediately!"

Seeing that Liu Jin was still trembling slightly, Jiang Xia was really afraid that the imperial doctor would come and rescue him. Jiang Xia gritted her teeth and threw the dagger out of her hand.

The dagger, with a fierce wind, directly penetrated into Liu Jin's eyebrows.

Liu Jin, who was still trembling just now, didn't move anymore.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and stared at Jiang Xia with wide eyes. He was so angry that he trembled all over and said, "Jiang Xia, you are too much. Have you taken me as an emperor seriously? Do you know that if it weren't for you today, I would have dismembered him from the outsider!"

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao and shook her head, turned around and walked out of the hall.

While walking, Jiang Xia left a sentence to Zhu Houzhao: "I have been in the Long Hou Mansion. If you change your mind and want to dismember my five horses, you can come to me at any time."

After saying that, Jiang Xia had already stepped out of the hall and walked out.

After walking for a while, Jiang Xia heard Zhu Houzhao curse: "Bastard!"

This bastard made Jiang Xia stop, then accelerated his pace and left with great strides.

Since this moment, Jiang Xia swore in his heart that he would never enter the capital again in this life.
