" Yuantu, you don't have to show yourself," Zhu Houzhao said calmly." I'll just bring Miss Yuyan in."”
" Young Master?" Lin Yuantu's eyes widened." But, Young…Young Master, your safety…"
"Don't worry," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,"you stay outside and guard. If anything happens, I'll let you know. There won't be any problems." I have other arrangements for this matter. Just do as I say.”
After witnessing Zhu Houtao's strategy and hearing his insistent tone, Lin Yuantu no longer insisted. No higher-ups would like their subordinates to question their decisions. Lin Yuantu was only a guard, not a strategist. Doing his job well was the greatest loyalty. Lin Yuantu was very clear about this.
" Right, give me your Embroidered Uniform Guard token." Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked for Lin Yuantu's token.
At this moment, the door of the Jiang Mansion opened and a servant walked out. He looked at Zhu Houzhao and said politely,""May I know what Young Master and Young Lady need?”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and handed over Lin Yuantu's token.""I'm Lin Yuantu, a hundred household of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. I have something to ask of Great Swordsman Jiang.”
"Baihu!" Hearing Zhu Houzhao introduce himself, the servant was shocked.
The Brocade Guards were the troops that were directly subordinate to the Ming Emperor. Their ranks were divided into ordinary members, ten households, hundred households, thousand households, and lieutenant generals. The Centurion of the Brocade Guards was already considered a big shot in Jianghu. At the very least, he was not inferior to his master.
Thinking of this, the servant hurriedly took the token and said,"Please wait in the main hall for a moment. This lowly one will immediately go and invite my master.”
After saying that, the servant welcomed Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Yuyan into the main hall and sat down. He made tea for the two of them before heading to the backyard to look for Jiang Biehe.
" Even a servant is so humble and polite. He is neither humble nor overbearing," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile." Jiang Biehe is indeed worthy of his name.”
Jiang Yuyan was very smart, so she didn't say anything when Zhu Houzhao pretended to be Lin Yuantu. Now that there was no one around, she asked,""Big Brother Zhu, why did you pretend to be Lord Lin?”
Zhu Houzhao smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation and playfulness."Yuyan, can you guess?"
Jiang Yuyan pondered for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. She looked at Zhu Houzhao with a more complicated gaze.
"Yu Yan, why are you looking at me like that?" Zhu Houzhao laughed.
Jiang Yuyan stared at Zhu Houzhao, wanting to say something but hesitating. In the end, she couldn't help but say,"Yuyan, can you ask big brother Zhu a question, a bold question?”
Zhu Houzhao seemed to have thought of something. The smile on his face slowly disappeared. He slowly picked up the teacup and said with a smile,"Perhaps, I have underestimated you, Yuyan! Tell me, what does Yuyan want to ask?"
"Big Brother Zhu, are you a member of the imperial family?”Although Jiang Yuyan was asking, her tone was clearly firm.
Zhu Houzhao's hand that was holding the teacup trembled, but then he regained his composure. He smiled and asked Jiang Yuyan,""Yuyan, why do you ask?"
"I've observed Big Brother Zhu's interaction with Lord Lin along the way," Jiang Yuyan said seriously. Lord Lin's actions were clearly based on Big Brother Zhu. It was obvious that Big Brother Zhu's status was far above Lord Lin's.”
"Lord Lin is a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The Embroidered Uniform Guards are directly under the Emperor's command. Even the current Prime Minister has no right to order the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”Although Jiang Yuyan was a woman, she seemed to know a lot about the imperial court. She continued," Therefore, only someone of a higher rank in the Brocade Guard or a relative of the royal family can make Lord Lin obey orders like this.”
"Just now, Lord Lin was worried about Big Brother Zhu's safety. Obviously, although Big Brother Zhu's martial arts are strong, he should not be as good as Lord Lin. Although Yuyan is a lady, she also knows that the strong are respected. The thousand households or lieutenants of the Embroidered Uniform Guards probably don't need Lord Lin's protection, so…" Jiang Yuyan said firmly," Coupled with Brother Zhu's surname, Yuyan has this guess.”
Pa ^Pa ^Pa!
Zhu Houzhao put down his teacup and clapped his hands sincerely."Good, Yuyan is indeed meticulous and quick-witted.”
Jiang Yuyan's analysis seemed simple, but it was based on some details that were easily overlooked. Even Zhu Houzhao himself did not notice these details, but Jiang Yuyan firmly remembered them.
All these details were gathered into clues. Finally, Zhu Houzhao took out the Embroidered Uniform Guards token, which became the key point after many clues. Therefore, all the clues were connected and pointed to Zhu Houzhao's identity. Zhu Houzhao even suspected that Jiang Yuyan had already guessed his identity as the Crown Prince, but she just didn't want to show it off.
A mere Embroidered Uniform Guard token was enough to allow Jiang Yuyan to connect so many details and see through Zhu Houzhao's hidden identity. With such calculation IQ, Jiang Yuyan could be compared to Lu Xiaofeng!
What shocked Zhu Houzhao even more was that Jiang Yuyan had only spent less than three breaths to connect all these clues.
If everyone's support is strong enough, it's not impossible for it to be four or five chapters like yesterday!
