Taking advantage of the night, when Xu Hao came to the Cao Guo Mansion, there were two more young Yan Wangfu guards by his side. One is named Qiu Yi and the other is Zhang Fu. His two fathers are generals who have followed Zhu Di for many years and are highly trusted, and the whole family shares weal and woe with the Yan Palace.

Xu Hao felt that he had a heavy responsibility this time and did not dare to slack off, and Li Jinglong was a little out of tune, so he sent someone to find Zhu Gaochi and borrowed Zhang Fu, the most effective guard by Zhu Gaochi's side, and Qiu Yi, the most capable guard under Zhu Gaochi.

With these two people here, Xu Hao can be seconded to the hundreds of most elite guards of the Yanwang Mansion at any time. Even if he had to fight to the death with Jiang Xuan's men, Xu Hao was confident that he would win.

There were six strings of white lanterns hanging in front of the Guogong Mansion, which looked very weird, Xu Hao thought that the Li family was dead, and hurriedly asked, "Which one in the mansion is dead?"

The steward shook his head and said nothing, Xu Hao had come to Li's house a few times, and immediately frowned and drove in with the chief guard, and saw that in the empty courtyard, Li Jinglong was sitting alone at the wine table in filial piety clothes, pouring himself a drink.

Xu Hao glanced at Zhang Fu and asked him to lead the guards to guard the courtyard gate, he stepped forward and slowly sat down beside Li Jinglong.

"Why is Brother Li wearing filial piety?" Xu Hao asked in a low voice.

Li Jinglong held a glass of wine and replied, "Third child, you are finally here?" I know that you have always looked down on me, the corpses of your former brothers were collected by your own hands, and you were angry, but I, the eldest brother, hid in my hometown, ashamed. The few times you came to my house, every time the house was full of friends, and there was a group of flattering fox friends and dog friends sitting there, you couldn't get used to it, so you alienated me from then on, and never came to me again. ”

Xu Hao was suddenly silent, since Li Jinglong returned to Beijing, at first he regarded the other party as a friend and came a few times. But after Li Jinglong was reused by Zhu Yuanzhang, there were a bunch of strange noble children around him, Xu Hao was suspicious of being a lot of mouthfuls, so he simply didn't come, but he didn't expect Li Jinglong to remember it in his heart.

Li Jinglong raised his head and drank the wine dry, slammed it to the ground, staggered to his feet, pointed around and said: "Look, the third child, there are no guests in this house, and there is no one in the gloomy place, I am panicked!" ”

Xu Hao was taken aback, stood up and helped Li Jinglong, who was already a little drunk, and said, "Big brother, be sober, don't forget that you still have something to do." ”

"business. Isn't it just to kill a Jiang Xuan? Without the Holy Lord's protection, he is just a wild dog. Li Jinglong suddenly pinched Xu Hao's shoulders with both hands, and his eyes were red, "Do you know the third child?" My father and mother died in the hands of Jiang Xuan, I have endured it for so many years, just waiting for this day. God has finally lived up to my expectations and got what I wanted, haha! ”

Xu Hao was really stunned at this time, turned his head and gestured to the guards, ordering them all to go out and guard. Cautiously asked, "Big brother, you can make it clearer, what's going on?" ”

Li Jinglong's tears fell down, and he choked up: "That year, my father was sick, and the saint ordered Jiang Zhen to bring a few imperial doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment, who knew that the next day after the saint came to visit my father's condition, Jiang Zhen secretly poisoned him, and then framed my mother and the imperial doctor to kill my father, and the saint was angry and sent my mother and the imperial doctor thousands of miles away, and Jiang Zhen took the brocade guard to hang them all on the way. My younger brother is young and far away in his hometown, and I am the only one left in the family, and I am the only one left! ”

Xu Hao's scalp tingled when he heard this, he didn't believe that Jiang Zhen would be so bold at all, without Zhu Yuanzhang's secret instructions, who would dare to kill the dignified prince and the emperor's righteous son? Zhu Yuanzhang was so ruthless.

Suddenly, Xu Hao remembered Ning Xue's father Mu Ying, and said that Mu Ying was heartbroken because the prince died of illness, and died of illness three months later. Now think about how that is possible? An adult who is in the prime of life and accustomed to life and death will die violently because of sadness? It's simply impossible.

Xu Hao was shocked in his heart and decided to bury this creepy secret in his heart forever and never be able to tell it, even if the other party was Ning Xue.

Calming down, Xu Hao said softly: "Big brother, you go to rest first, Jiang Xuan's affairs will be handed over to me, and I will definitely avenge you." ”

Li Jinglong patted Xu Hao's shoulder gratefully, and said with a cruel smile: "Thank you brother, you are my real good brother, this love brother has received it." Come on, bring Jiang Xuan's head. ”

Then Xu Hao watched dumbfounded as a family member walked over with a bloody head, by the light of the torch, wasn't it Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard?

Li Jinglong seemed to be sober, pointed to the head and sneered: "This thief has a premonition that the death date is near, and he and his henchmen gathered in the courtyard outside the city for several nights to discuss countermeasures, and it happened that tonight Lao Tzu's people gave a nest, and more than 300 people up and down all called my people to be slaughtered, haha happy!" ”

Xu Hao took his eyes off the head, what else could he say after the matter had come to this? To his surprise, Li Jinglong killed Jiang Zhen and his henchmen simply and neatly, it seems that Li Jinglong needs to be re-evaluated, this person is by no means so sloppy as he seems, but deeply hidden.

Jiang Xuan is dead, and the task assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang is solved in such a vague way. Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to be the knife that Zhu Yuanzhang used to kill people.

At that moment, Li Jinglong ordered someone to carry over the haode incense case that had been prepared for a long time, offered Jiang Zheng's head, and cried at his parents' tablet.

Xu Hao kowtowed a few times with him, and helped Li Jinglong, who was crying silently, to comfort him.

The two brought Jiang Xuan's head into the palace overnight and dedicated it to Zhu Yuanzhang, such a big killing, it didn't alarm any yamen, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reviewing the twists and turns, was very satisfied with this, but he didn't ask about the whole process and details.

Li Jinglong really regarded Xu Hao as an old brother in the past, and did not take the credit alone, and praised Xu Hao a few words. And how dare Xu Hao hide it? To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with him, and it is all from Li Jinglong's own work.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile that Li Jinglong has the greatest credit, and you Xu Hao are equally meritorious. I ordered the two of you to work together, and things went smoothly, it can be seen that you Xu Hao is a member of the lucky general, you kid don't think that I mean to make fun of you, throughout my life as a horseman, the lucky general does exist, some people are unscathed after a hundred battles, and some people die as soon as they go to the battlefield, the most in the army is to believe in this, everyone wants to fight with the lucky general.

Xu Hao had a toothache, and said in his heart what kind of lucky man am I? Anyway, if I go to the battlefield in the future, I will pick the safest thing to do, whoever wants to kill the enemy will go, anyway, I don't want to kill people with my own hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his words, and suddenly asked the two of them if they were willing to be the brocade guards who personally protected me? It is even possible to take charge of the entire Jinyi Guard in the future, and it is even revealed that it is soliciting.

If it was before, Xu Hao would definitely not want to say I am willing, how majestic is Jinyi Wei? In the future, he will only bully others, and no one else will want to bully him. But after seeing the darkness of Jinyiwei, at least in the past few years that Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he didn't want to kill him.

Xu Hao euphemistically said that he is now a disciple of King Yan's mansion, and hopes to follow His Royal Highness King Yan in the future to the Northern Expedition to Mongolia and become a real lucky general.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after hearing this, and said Aren't you still my guard with a knife? I will return the embroidered spring knife given by the emperor to you, and when you are in the capital, you will continue to do the errand of the avant-garde of the government army, and receive two portions of Yulu.

Xu Hao intuitively felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was not at ease, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only accept his fate with anxiety.

And Li Jinglong's most hated thing in his life is Jinyiwei, of course, he shook his head and refused, and the reasons given were similar to Xu Hao's, all of them were bent on making contributions.

Zhu Yuanzhang has a special preference for Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong is now serving in the Zuodu Governor's Mansion, and he wants you to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, and besides, you have recently been responsible for assessing the articles and martial arts of the sons of the nobles, and handed over the Guozijian to Li Jinglong.

After leaving the palace, Li Jinglong said goodbye to Xu Hao affectionately, and said with a smile: "Come and get together with my brother more often when I have nothing to do, there are not many old brothers alive, we must cherish this affection." Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. ”

Now Xu Hao was completely impressed by Li Jinglong, nodded in agreement with a smile, bowed goodbye to the other party, and watched Li Jinglong take people to ride away, and then went to Yanwangfu with Zhang Fu and others.

The Zhu Gaochi brothers had already slept, and Xu Hao didn't alarm them. Let the housekeeper gather a few tables of wine banquets, invite Zhang Fu and Qiu Yi and the guards who didn't sleep to eat, even if they didn't do anything, they still have to be thanked.

Qiu Yi is tall, powerful, five big and three thick, belongs to the kind of fierce general who does not like to use his brain, likes to go straight when fighting, and is said to have a temperament similar to his father Qiu Fu.

And Zhang Fu is just eleven or nineteen years old this year, handsome, honest, honest, always does not talk much, is young and calm, and is deeply valued by Zhu Gaochi.

His father Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, who captured Li Jinglong's camp that day, are also called Zhu Di's right-hand man, and they are all rare good generals.

Xu Hao knew that these people would follow Zhu Di to the south in the future, and he would be the pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so he kept an eye on it.

The more he looked at Zhang Fu, the more satisfied he became, thinking that he and Hongye were a natural pair, hehe!

At the banquet, Xu Hao knocked on the side several times, did Zhang Fucheng get married? Zhang Fu blushed and said no, Xu Hao was secretly happy in his heart, and asked him if he had someone in mind? Zhang Fu still blushed and shook his head.

Zuihou Xu Hao immediately said: "You just follow me these days, are you willing?" ”

Zhang Fu looked at Xu Hao in confusion, and nodded involuntarily: "The son favors him, and the general is naturally willing." ”

Xu Hao smiled, and said in his heart that your kid has explained in this life.
