The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Zhu Shou insisted, "Since this is my first time in the capital, I don't know when I will come again, so I have to have a good time. I happen to have nothing to do, so if you don't mind, I will take you around for fun."

It was the first time that Jiang Ning met such an enthusiastic person.

The world is dangerous, so when you go out you naturally have to be on guard against others. No one is as enthusiastic as Zhu Shou, who continues to invite people after being politely rejected.

The other party came for him.

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

I just don’t know what the other party’s purpose is.

If Jiang Ning hadn't thought it was impossible, he would have thought that the other party was the Marquis Zhang who came to cause trouble for him yesterday.

Thinking quickly in his mind, Jiang Ning smiled.

"In that case, Brother Zhu's kindness is hard to refuse, so I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Zhu Shou laughed.

"I knew that Brother Jiang has a generous temperament, which suits my taste."

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.

After the two of them stood up, Zhu Shou was about to pay the bill, but Jiang Ning had already paid it before him.

Zhu Shou shouted, "Brother Jiang, what are you doing? We agreed that whoever loses will pay for the meal, why is Brother Jiang..."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Since I will have to trouble Brother Zhu to take me around the capital later, how can I let Brother Zhu spend money again?"

Zhu Shou sighed: "This makes me feel a little embarrassed."

The two left the stall, and Jiang Ning left under the leadership of Zhu Shou.

Several people in the distance were stunned.

"Why did you leave?"

Originally, they thought that the young man was just going to talk to Jiang Ning for a few words, but who would have thought that the two of them would leave together after eating, and several people cried out in their hearts.

Oh no! Oh my god! Your Majesty is about to be kidnapped!

Several people quickly followed.

"Brother Zhu, is that your servant behind you?"

Jiang Ning asked.

Zhu Shou looked back at the people who followed him, then smiled and said, "Yes, I am worried about the people in my family when I go out to play, so I let them follow me. If they disturb Brother Jiang's interest, I will ask them not to follow me."

"That's not necessary."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

Afterwards, Zhu Shou took Jiang Ning around the capital and visited many places, as if he was really just taking Jiang Ning for fun and had no other purpose.

The two were also talking during the process.

Zhu Shou was very young, and looked about the same age as Jiang Ning. He looked like a dandy boy, but he was very knowledgeable and could quote poems and classics at will. According to Jiang Ning's judgment of Zhu Shou, if he was not a child of the royal family, he would at least become a scholar if he took the imperial examination.

Zhu Shou was also secretly surprised during his conversation with Jiang Ning.

He didn't know Jiang Ning's background, but the knowledge he revealed during the conversation was no less than his. Although the other party also quoted from the Four Books and Five Classics, he tended to quote Taoist allusions.

Is he a Taoist? Or is he from a family that believes in Taoism?

Zhu Shou thought to himself.

The two continued their conversation.

After the conversation, both of them felt that they had a great time.

Due to his environment, although Zhu Shou was very knowledgeable, all he met all day were either great scholars or the few people who followed him. Apart from the great scholars teaching him and the deliberate flattery from his subordinates, this was the first time that Zhu Shou talked freely about his ideas with others without any scruples.

Although Jiang Ning and Zhu Shou's environment are very different, they are similar in this respect.

He read a lot of books, but the disciples of Huashan Sect, such as Lu Dayou, didn't like reading very much, so he didn't have much chance to talk about these with others.

Yue Buqun did read a lot, but to be honest, although his martial arts skills were better than Jiang Ning's in the past, he was not necessarily as knowledgeable as Jiang Ning.

Now Zhu Shou and Jiang Ning didn't know each other's identity, but they were of the same age and were talking about knowledge. Both sides felt that they were having a good time.

Zhu Shou was indeed knowledgeable, but his words seemed a little empty, as if he had only read about it in books and had never seen it with his own eyes.

When Jiang Ning quoted from classics, he would speak based on what he had seen and heard. His insights would sometimes surprise Zhu Shou, but at the same time, he would also feel a little admiration for Jiang Ning for having been to so many places and having so much knowledge.

"I didn't expect Brother Jiang to have been to so many places. I am really envious."

Zhu Shou sighed, "Compared to Brother Jiang, I am like a bird trapped in a cage, trapped in this capital city."

As he spoke, Zhu Shou showed a hint of sadness.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly when he heard this, but he didn't comfort her or ask her why she felt that way.

It is taboo to talk about deep things with someone you just met.

The two walked and talked along the way, and before they knew it, it was getting dark and the sun was setting.

The people who followed Zhu Shou and Jiang Ning looked anxious at this time. They wanted to remind Zhu Shou to go back several times, but seeing that the two were still talking, they were afraid of disturbing Zhu Shou's interest, so they did not remind him. But now it was getting darker and darker, and several people became anxious.

"Brother Jiang, it's getting late now, and some fun places are open. If you're not tired, why not go and have a look?"

Zhu Shou looked at the sky, his eyes lit up, and he said to Jiang Ning.

"interesting place?"

Jiang Ning asked.

He was not tired, but he felt that Zhu Shou was full of energy.

Zhu Shou winked.

"Brother Jiang, if you are interested, I will take you to have a look?"

Jiang Ning frowned slightly and nodded.

"Alright."

Zhu Shou took Jiang Ning to a certain place.

"I'm having a blast."

Seeing that Zhu Shou wanted to take Jiang Ning out to play, everyone's faces turned green.

If you don't go back now, the palace gate will be closed.

"Commander Mou."

A man who looked like a servant looked at the man.

"It is getting dark now, and it is almost the evening hour. If the palace gates are closed after the time, your Majesty will not be able to return to the palace. If the palace knows about this, it will surely cause chaos. Commander Mou, can you go and persuade your Majesty to return to the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Mou looked at Zhu Shou who was in high spirits not far away and gritted his teeth.

"It's not time yet, Your Majesty is in high spirits, let Your Majesty play for a while longer!"

The others were startled and said quickly, "If we go back too late and the Queen Mother finds out..."

Commander Mou said directly: "If the Queen Mother wants to blame me, I, Mou Bin, will bear the responsibility alone. It has nothing to do with the eunuchs."

Several eunuchs looked at each other.

It is a lie to say that it has nothing to do with them. If Empress Dowager Zhang blames them, they came here with Zhu Shou and there is no way they can escape.

However, since Mou Bin had said so, they did not dare to go up and offend Zhu Shou, so they could only sigh helplessly.

At the same time, he also sighed that it was no wonder that he was the commander-in-chief and dared to take responsibility for Zhu Shou's interests. No wonder he could gain Zhu Shou's trust and love.

"Brother Jiang, we are here."

At this time, Zhu Shou said with Jiang Ning excitedly.

Jiang Ning looked at the bright lights and green willows not far ahead with a strange expression on his face.

Zhu Shou took him to a brothel.

Chapter 417: The Enemy's Road is Narrow

"Brother Jiang, this is the most lively place in the capital at night. I wonder if Brother Jiang is interested in seeing it for himself?"

Zhu Shoudao.

His face looked very excited at this moment.

Jiang Ning glanced at him.

"Brother Zhu, do you often come to the brothel?"

Zhu Shou was still in an excited state and shook his head when he heard this.

“This is my first time here, too.”

Zhu Shou said embarrassedly: "My family used to be strict and I had to go home before 3 p.m. This is the first time I stayed out so late."

Jiang Ning nodded upon hearing this.

Zhu Shou also noticed that Jiang Ning looked a little indifferent at this moment, as if he had no interest in this place, so he couldn't help but say, "Brother Jiang, you are not interested in this place? Then we can go somewhere else to play."

Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing, just go in and take a look."

After hearing this, Zhu Shou no longer had any questions and walked over first, talking as he walked.

"Brother Jiang has traveled all over the world. Have you ever been to a place like this?"

Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "I've been there."

"Oh?"

Zhu Shou couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning.

"Brother Jiang actually has this kind of literary and elegant hobby?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.
