Chapter 53: Each Says His Own Words
"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhao Hu nodded and turned to leave.

"Five thousand years of cultural heritage, some things have been engraved into our bones." Zhu Yunhuan shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

He subconsciously regarded the old friend from Yingtian Prefecture as a nobleman who was out to provoke him. After all, he was rebelling now. If he was not out to provoke him, who would dare to approach him?

The next moment, he thought of the visitor's age, and his expression froze. "Over sixty, isn't it a little too late to start a new project at this age? But if it wasn't a new project, then why did he come to persuade me to surrender?"

"Your Highness, is someone coming to surrender to us?" Ma Sanbao's face was full of joy.

We have just started the rebellion and people are coming to join us. The future is promising!
Zhu Yunhuan's mouth twitched as he said, "If they were younger, then it would probably be the case, but now there are over sixty of them. It's hard to say. Perhaps they are here to persuade me to surrender."

"Ah? Persuade to surrender?" Ma Sanbao was stunned. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your Highness, we have no choice but to advance. We absolutely cannot surrender."

Now, even if Zhu Yunhuan really surrendered, Zhu Yunwen would never let Zhu Yunhuan go. This is an obvious thing.

"I know." Zhu Yunhuan nodded.

After a while.

Zhao Hu brought Tang He to Zhu Yunhuan and said, "Your Highness, the people are here."

"Tang He pays his respects to the Emperor's grandson Yunhu." Tang He bowed and saluted.

"Grandpa Tang?" Zhu Yunhuan was a little dumbfounded.

The next second, he stood up and helped Tang He up, saying with a smile, "Grandpa Tang, why are you here? Are you here to persuade me to surrender on behalf of Zhu Yunwen?"

Tang He was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, it's not too late to turn back now."

"Grandpa Tang, I know you may not believe it, but I am confident that I can break into Yingtian Prefecture." Zhu Yunheng looked at Tang He with a serious expression.

Immediately, he said to Ma Sanbao beside him: "Sanbao, Grandpa Tang has worked hard all the way. Take Grandpa Tang down to have a good rest."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ma Sanbao nodded, came to Tang He, and said, "Duke Xin, please follow me."

"Oh," Tang He sighed, and without saying anything else, he followed Ma Sanbao away.

He felt that no matter how hard Zhu Yunhuan struggled, he would be defeated.

However, since Zhu Yunhuan wanted to struggle, there was no need for him to waste his breath. Zhu Yuanzhang was there to back him up. Whether Zhu Yunhuan surrendered now or was captured after being defeated, the outcome would be the same.

"Is it the Lu family again?" Zhu Yunhuan whispered to himself.

Asking Tang He to act as a lobbyist was not something Zhu Yunwen would do. Moreover, Zhu Yunwen had already asked Li Jinglong to lead an army of 500,000 to fight him, so there was no need to send Tang He to act as a lobbyist.

backyard!

Zhu Neng came to Zhu Gaoxu and said in a deep voice, "Second Master, Duke Xin is here."

"What?" Zhu Gaoxu was lying on the bed, bored and dazed. When he heard Zhu Neng's words, his expression was suddenly stunned: "Duke Xin? Tang He?"

"Yes!" Zhu Neng nodded.

"Why is he here?" Zhu Gaoxu looked puzzled.

Zhu Neng shook his head.

"Could it be that Tang He is also here to help Hun Ge'er?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

After this thought came to his mind, he became even more confused: "But why would Tang He help Zhu Yunhuan? I've never heard of any relationship between the two of them."

"Perhaps, Duke Xin is here to persuade the grandson of Emperor Yunhu to surrender?" Zhu Neng hesitated.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "That's possible."

The next second, his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "No, we can't let Tang He persuade Hun Ge'er to surrender. Otherwise, wouldn't our trip here be in vain?"

He got off the bed, frowned, and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about his response. If Tang He really persuaded Zhu Yunhuan to surrender, then not only would he fail to achieve his goal of making Zhu Yunhuan deplete the imperial court's power, but he would also fail to achieve his goal of abducting Zhu Yunhuan's cavalry.

"Second Young Master, how about we go and meet Duke Xin?" Zhu Neng said.

"Go see Tang He?" Zhu Gaoxu thought about it seriously and nodded: "Okay!"

In the room!
Tang He sat quietly. His first goal had failed. Next, all he had to do was wait until Li Jinglong defeated Zhu Yunhuan, and then he would come forward to rescue Zhu Yunhuan.

"Who is behind Emperor Yunhu's grandson?" Tang He couldn't help but wonder.

Zhu Yunhuan had been imprisoned behind the high walls of Fengyang for three years. Now, tens of thousands of cavalrymen suddenly appeared under his command. Any normal person would know that there was a big problem.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

A knock on the door interrupted Tang He's thoughts.

"Please come in!"

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhu Gaoxu walked in with Zhu Neng.

"The second son of the Prince of Yan?" Tang He was stunned when he saw Zhu Gaoxu. A thought popped into his mind: "Could it be that the Prince of Yan is behind the Emperor's grandson, Yun Hun?"

"Duke Xin!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted to Tang He with a smile on his face.

Tang He nodded, his face expressionless, and said, "I didn't expect to see the Second Young Master in Fengyang."

"I didn't expect to meet Duke Xin in Fengyang." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

"I wonder what the second young master wants to talk to me about?" Tang He asked.

Zhu Gaoxu put away the smile on his face and said, "Duke Xin, are you coming to Fengyang at this time to persuade Hun Ge'er to surrender?"

Tang He nodded: "Not bad!"

Zhu Gaoxu's heart sank, and he felt a little nervous: "Did Hunge'er agree?"

Tang He was silent for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Tang He's appearance, and the tension in his heart dissipated. A smile appeared on his face again: "Haha, it seems that Hun Ge'er didn't agree."

Tang He looked up at Zhu Gaoxu and said softly, "Second Young Master, you came to Fengyang on the orders of Prince Yan, right? It seems that Prince Yan attaches great importance to Emperor Yunhuan's grandson."

"My father really values ​​Hun Ge'er." Zhu Gaoxu shrugged and did not hide it.

Tang He came to persuade Zhu Yunhuan to surrender, but he wanted to help Zhu Yunhuan rebel. The two had completely different goals, so there was no need for hypocritical politeness.

"I didn't expect that the person behind Emperor Yunhu's grandson would be Prince Yan. It's really surprising." Tang He smiled bitterly in his heart.

Before, he had guessed that Zhu Di was behind Zhu Yunhuan, but later he denied it.

Zhu Di only had Beiping, and Beiping was not a very wealthy place. He didn't think Zhu Di could support tens of thousands of cavalry, but now it seems that he was wrong.

Not only was he wrong, I'm afraid many people were wrong.

Tang He took a deep breath and said, "The Prince of Yan is truly generous, actually making such a large investment in the grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan."

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback, thinking Tang He was saying that Zhu Di had sent him and Zhu Neng to support Zhu Yunhuan. He waved his hand and said, "That's not all that bad. After all, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. If you want to gain something, you have to give first."

"That's true." Tang He nodded.
