Chapter 198: The Obedient Ada

What Zhu Gaoxi drew was naturally the secret code unique to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

After finishing the drawing, Zhu Gaoxi swaggered back to the Red Rainbow Hall headquarters once again.

Along the way, he climbed over walls with practiced ease to return to the living quarters that had just been arranged for him.

Along the way, no one felt any suspicion.

Having finished all this, Zhu Gaoxi collapsed directly onto the bed and went to sleep.

When he woke up again, the sound of a door opening rang out.

Zhu Gaoxi subconsciously opened his eyes and sat up.

The person who came was that maidservant, and she was holding a food box in her hand.

It turned out that the time for the afternoon meal had arrived.

Two dishes and one soup.

One meat dish and one vegetable dish, with steamed buns as the staple food.

It could be said that in the North, where disaster was everywhere, these meals were quite good.

After placing the food down, the maidservant saw that Zhu Gaoxi was fine and walked out of the room.

Zhu Gaoxi walked to the table and sat down; just as he had taken two bites of food, the sound of the door opening rang out again.

"What is it?"

Zhu Gaoxi said as he looked up.

And at this moment, Zhu Gaoxi finally saw that the person who had come was actually Ada!

Ada was clearly very emotional upon seeing Zhu Gaoxi.

With tears in his eyes, he knelt before Zhu Gaoxi.

He said to Zhu Gaoxi with a sobbing tone: "This subordinate is incompetent and has let the Prince suffer."

As he spoke, he prepared to kowtow to Zhu Gaoxi.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxi reached out and helped Ada up.

Zhu Gaoxi let Ada sit down, then asked about the recent situation.

"Grandfather Emperor doesn't know about the situation here yet, right?"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxi ate his meal while observing Ada out of the corner of his eye.

After Zhu Gaoxi was abducted by the Qishan Five Tigers, the Qishan Five Tigers did not keep him under strict guard.

Instead, they were relatively relaxed.

Therefore, it was not too simple for Zhu Gaoxi to leave some marks along the way.

Zhu Gaoxi being abducted by the Qishan Five Tigers was entirely due to a whim of his own.

So, he did not want Lao Zhu or the ministers in Jingcheng to know about this matter.

After all, being abducted just a few days after leaving Jingcheng would inevitably make him appear too useless.

Although it was intentional on his part, the ministers in the imperial court would not care about such things.

Besides, Zhu Gaoxi did not want his family to worry.

Therefore, regarding the marks along the way, Zhu Gaoxi had repeatedly emphasized the need for secrecy.

Although the marks were hidden, Zhu Gaoxi believed that with the capabilities of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they could not possibly miss that information.

And seeing Ada's unsurprised expression at this matter, he knew that Ada had also seen the marks Zhu Gaoxi left behind.

The situation was indeed as Zhu Gaoxi had thought.

Ada had indeed seen the secret code left by Zhu Gaoxi.

Hearing Zhu Gaoxi's words, Ada nodded and replied: "Everything is in accordance with the Prince's instructions; the family is unaware."

Hearing Ada's words, Zhu Gaoxi's eyes brightened, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Although it was a simple sentence, the deeper meaning within it was not simple at all.

Now, since Ada had decided to obey Zhu Gaoxi's words, such a major event had occurred.

Over a hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards had not followed the requirements to notify Lao Zhu.

This at least indicated that for this branch of the Embroidered Uniform Guard led by Ada, Zhu Gaoxi was already more important than Lao Zhu in their minds.

This point could be said to be extremely difficult to achieve.

Now that Zhu Gaoxi had achieved it, it at least meant that if he were to do something in the future, he would not be so transparent to Lao Zhu's side.

How could Zhu Gaoxi, who understood this point, not be satisfied?

While eating his meal, Zhu Gaoxi continued: "Have the brothers all arrived now?"

Ada nodded and replied: "The brothers followed your marks all the way to this Huangshan Town, and from outside this mansion, we saw the signal you left. Fearing there might be some misunderstanding, I had the brothers all lie in wait within the city."

As soon as Ada's voice fell, the more Zhu Gaoxi looked at Ada, the more pleasing he found him.

Having a subordinate who understands you so well is a blessing for a superior.

"Very good. Now, have the brothers secretly investigate the two major gangs in this city—one is called the Black Tiger Gang, and the other is the Red Rainbow Hall. Do not make a scene after getting information; find an opportunity to report it to me."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxi's instructions, Ada immediately stood up and saluted: "This subordinate understands!"

Afterwards, seeing that Zhu Gaoxi had no other instructions, Ada cautiously exited the room and then completely disappeared.

Zhu Gaoxi finished his meal in the room and waited boredly for a while.

Finally, the sky grew dark, and Zhu Gaoxi stood up and rubbed his hands together.

Now that the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the others had arrived in this Huangshan Town, Zhu Gaoxi's confidence had undoubtedly increased quite a bit.

Now, all that was left was to establish a connection with the old Hall Master of this Red Rainbow Hall.

Then, find an opportunity to completely subdue this Red Rainbow Hall and use this opportunity to break into the world of the jianghu!

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxi gently opened the door.

He looked left and right, seeing that there was no one around.

He then walked toward the room he had already scouted out that afternoon.

Zhu Gaoxi remembered that the room had people guarding the outside during the day, and he wanted to see if there would still be people guarding it at night.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxi was cautious the entire way.

Finally, he arrived outside that room door again.

Finding a large tree, Zhu Gaoxi hid behind it and looked toward the doorway.

Unfortunately, there were still two people standing there outside the door.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxi frowned; if there were people standing guard twenty-four hours a day, that would be a bit troublesome.

But this time, Zhu Gaoxi did not give up immediately.

He did not believe that these people did not eat or drink, or even need to use the restroom or something similar.
