Chapter 138 Dog Hole Friendship

Reading, whether in ancient times or modern times, is the best way for ordinary poor people to achieve class crossing.

Not the only one, but better than the only one.

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant." Gao Yuan looked dull, but actually had a sharp mind. He was afraid that Zhou Chang would misunderstand him. "It is my honor to follow Your Highness. I am willing to work like a slave for you."

After Gao Yuan retired from the army, he was once penniless and had a younger brother by his side. It was Prince Yi who did not despise him for having one arm missing and took him in and made use of him.

"That's not what I meant. You and I are like brothers, no need to explain." Zhou Chang also raised his hand to stop him, "I just want to know what Gao Yun wants to do."

As he spoke, a vague idea emerged in Prince Yi's consciousness.

Although Zhou Chang felt that he still needed to consider, he said to Gao Yuan: "Gao Yuan, I understand your intention to let your brother study, but if he never succeeds in his studies, what will you do? Will you support him for the rest of his life?"

"If all else fails, he knows more words than others, so he can be a pen holder without having to put any physical strain on himself." Gao Yuan just said what he thought.

"What do you think about what your brother said?" Zhou Chang tried hard to play the role of a mediator.

Gao Yun disagreed: "I don't like it. It's too boring to sit there and write. Besides, even if I work as a clerk or accountant, I can't make much money. There are many poor scholars in the world, and I am not the only one."

"Did you learn some Kung Fu from your brother?" Zhou Chang asked again.

Gao Yun nodded: "I have also practiced a little with my brother."

"Those are nothing but fancy moves, useless." Gao Yuan just threw out this sentence.

Apparently, the two brothers have discussed this topic over and over again many times, but have yet to reach a conclusion.

"Let him go with Chen Yuan to gain experience." These words were spoken to Gao Yuan. This thought just popped into Zhou Chang's mind.

Gao Yuan didn't answer, obviously unwilling.

As soon as Zhou Chang opened his mouth to speak, his throat was choked by the consciousness of Prince Yi Fengming, and a memory came to his mind.

Prince Yi Fengming and Gao Yuan met in a courtyard on the east side of Prince Yi's mansion.

At that time, Prince Yi Fengming had just left the palace for more than a year and had not yet planted fruit trees in his own yard.

Suddenly one day, Prince Yi and Shouhou discovered that the yard next door seemed to have been abandoned for years and no one cared about it, but the fruit trees in it were growing very well, and there were so many fruits that no one picked them. So they thought of climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to pick the fruits.

Just after the two of them picked two large sacks of apples and pears, they suddenly realized that it would not be so easy to climb over the wall.

The two men discussed it immediately, and Prince Yi first climbed up the wall by stepping on the skinny monkey, and then passed the fruit over one by one.

I spent most of the day working hard, and even until the moon was at its zenith, I didn't accomplish much, but I was exhausted.

The skinny monkey was so tired that he sat down on the ground. In the moonlight, he suddenly discovered a dog hole covered with weeds under the wall.

With a burst of joy, Prince Yi jumped off the wall, and the two of them quickly carried the fruit out through the dog hole.

Just when the mission was about to be accomplished with just one sack left, the skinny monkey felt someone running towards him from behind.

In the blink of an eye, a big bag flew over Prince Yi's head.

It fell behind him with a bang.

Then the two of them, one inside the wall and the other outside, heard the sounds of people shouting and dogs barking coming from deep in the yard.

"Who is it? Your Majesty, there seems to be someone behind us..." The skinny monkey said as he tried to squeeze his head out of the dog hole.

Prince Yi panicked and tried to pull people out. At this moment, he heard the footsteps and shouts of several people coming from the courtyard separated by a wall.

"Ah..., no..." The skinny monkey grinned, and as expected, his head was stuck in the dog hole before his neck.

Back then, the skinny monkey was only half the size he is now, but he had already successfully eaten his way into a big-eared and plump man.

"Your Highness, there are people coming from behind, you go first..." The skinny monkey pinched his throat and was about to retreat.

"No, no one of us can be caught." Prince Yi didn't care about anything else and tried his best to pull the skinny monkey out.

While the two sides were arguing, a gray figure jumped out from the wall above their heads.

"Run quickly, there are guards here." As soon as the man landed on the ground, he caught a glimpse of Prince Yi dragging the "pig head" by force. After a pause, he whispered a reminder.

At that time, Prince Yi and the skinny monkey both changed into the coarse black clothes worn by servants, deliberately ruffled their hair, and smeared their faces with black. At first glance, they looked not much better than beggars.

Prince Yi nodded and put more strength into it.

The skinny monkey bared his teeth and said, "Oh, no, Wang... I can't do it, let them catch it."

"How can this be possible?" Prince Yi held the skinny monkey's head tightly with one hand and tried to pry open the cracks in the bricks on the wall with the other hand.

The man in gray was also disheveled. He was about to pick up the bag thrown outside the wall after giving a reminder, but when he saw the skinny monkey still stuck in the dog hole, he couldn't bear it and came up to help.

The footsteps inside the wall were getting closer.

In desperation, the man in gray punched the wall next to the dog hole, creating a gap that allowed the skinny monkey to escape.

The three men stood up and picked up their bags to escape. Prince Yi then discovered that the man in gray had only one arm.

Just then someone in the yard chased out. In desperation, Prince Yi and the skinny monkey hid in a broken bamboo basket by the wall, but the man in gray was targeted by the guards who chased out.

The last scene Prince Yi saw was that the men in gray were caught and were deliberately led somewhere else without even taking a second look at where they were hiding.

Afterwards, Prince Yi asked the skinny monkey to inquire and found out that the man in gray had been captured and sent to the City Patrol Office. Naturally, he tried to find a way to use silver to rescue the man.

The man in gray was Gao Yuan. He was with his brother who was sick from hunger and had reached the end of his rope. He himself hadn't eaten for three days. He had no other choice but to steal fruits from the yard that had been vacant all year round.

As a result, I accidentally discovered that there was someone living in the kitchen, so I went into the kitchen and took a few steamed buns.

That was Gao Yuan’s first time stealing. He felt guilty and was willing to be captured.

After rescuing Gao Yuan, Prince Yi once asked why he helped him and Shouhou in that situation?

Gao Yuan said that he thought they were all poor people who had to steal food, and it was not easy for them, so he couldn't bear it, so he helped them.

The skinny monkey laughed at Gao Yuan for being stupid, saying that his body, which could be stuck in a dog hole, was something a beggar could not have.

Gao Yuan also laughed and said that it was because it was dark and he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and couldn't see clearly, otherwise he would have been left stuck in the dog hole.

Prince Yi jokingly called them a "dog-hole friendship."

Apart from other things, Gao Yuan did a great favor to Prince Yi by not betraying him when he was arrested. Otherwise, if Prince Yi was arrested and sent to the government, he would be fine, but he would lose face.

From then on, Prince Yi always kept wooden boxes and ladders behind his carriage, and planted vegetables, fruits and fields in his own yard.

Prince Yi was always grateful to Gao Yuan and secretly vowed to protect Gao Yuan no matter what happened in the future.

Therefore, today's matter is Gao Yuan's family affair. No matter what Gao Yuan does, Prince Yi will support him. "Accept the separation, accept the impermanence of the world, it's better to be in the rain than to hold a broken umbrella."
