A large group of hundreds of mighty warriors with swords and armor, surrounded by more than a dozen royal princes and kings, entered the smoke and rain painting boat.

Although these princes are descendants of the Xiang family, they have different temperaments, such as Xiang Anshi, the king of Huainan, who has an elegant demeanor, Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, who is rude, and Xiang Fei, the king of Zhongshan, who is fat and bloated... It is difficult to connect these princes with their appearances alone.

However, these princes and kings are very rebellious and have no children to spare.

"Get out of the way!"

"All the kings have arrived, and you will retreat!"

In the hall on the first floor of the painting boat, the crowd of guests blocking the road was violently driven away by groups of armor soldiers with scabbards.

In the entire hall of the painting boat, all the distinguished guests panicked and avoided, and suddenly quieted down.

"Shen Wanbao, Yang Sui, today's Lantern Festival, it's hard to get together and be lively, so don't fight for any ranking. Go back and go alone, whoever loses will admit it! ”

Chu Tianxiu was eating the fried beans that Zu'er fed him, and chatting and laughing with a group of gentlemen such as Xie Anran and Shen Wanbao next to him.

Only the crown prince Xiang Tiange was sad alone and wept gloomily.

Hearing that there was a sudden silence at the back of the hall, the gentlemen couldn't help but look back.

Ah!

The princes and kings are coming!

"Little Dusk Marquis" had never seen these princes and kings enter Jinling City before, and they were too face-to-face, so Chu Tianxiu naturally had no impression.

However, this does not prevent him from eating melons.

The gentlemen, big and small, were also quite disdainful of this group of Xiang family princes.

The princes and kings are in their fiefdoms, of course, all of them are bullish, like little emperors.

But this is Jinling City, at the feet of the emperor, and this is the territory of these gentlemen.

The princes and kings can also bring hundreds of elite soldiers into the city, and the army will not be able to enter Jinling City.

This group of hillbilly princes and kings, with these hundreds of soldiers, want to walk sideways in Jinling City and spread wilderness in this Jinling City, but it is not possible.

...

Led by the princes and kings, it is obviously Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, who is the strongest in the territory, with a green beard, burly and majestic, and has the majesty of the royal emperor.

The charm of the old bustard of the smoke and rain painting boat hurriedly greeted him, "The slave has seen all the kings!" ”

She was covered in sweat, and everyone panicked.

These princes and kings may not want to reveal their whereabouts in advance, so they came directly to the Yanyu Painting Boat and did not book a seat in advance at the Yanyu Painting Boat.

Today's Lantern Festival, the Qinhuai Oiran Festival is the most lively, and the Yanyu Painting Boat has long been filled with seats by the official eunuchs and nobles all over the city, and there are still empty seats left for them.

Any one of the masters in this painting boat is a wealthy and noble family in the city.

"I heard that the Oiran Festival was held in your Yanyu Building? Clear the third floor of your boat! ”

Wu Wang Xiangbi glanced up at the quiet third floor and said indifferently.

"Kings, the top floor, has been booked."

The old bustard suddenly complained.

"No matter who it is, let him go~!"

King Wu's face sank.

"It's King Ping, he wrapped up the third floor early in the morning, and said that he wanted to entertain the three ministers of the imperial court! Prime Minister Xie, the imperial historian is here! ”

The old bustard said bitterly.

Wu Wang Xiang Bi heard that it was Li Rong, the king of Ping, who rounded the third floor of the painting boat, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This Li Rong is the emperor's favorite Taiwei and important minister, and he is also the first god of war of the Great Chu Dynasty.

led 50,000 cavalry to dare to rush into the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Huns to rescue, and also rescued the Son of Heaven.

On the third floor, the armor soldiers standing in twos and threes were obviously the soldiers and guards of the Li family of Li Rong's Pingwang Mansion, and there were not a few of them.

They were all elite soldiers who came down from the battlefield, all of them were experienced and fierce, and they were extremely good at fighting.

In the conflict in Jinling City, there is no need for thousands of Praetorian Guards in the Imperial Palace, just a few hundred soldiers in the Ping Palace, can make them a group of princes and kings, and they can't eat and walk around.

When King Wu saw the third floor, these Li family soldiers with cold faces, their eyes were obviously cowardly.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Li Rong! .... Forget it, for the sake of his dedication to my Da Chu, this king will give him a face. ”

Wu Wang Xiangbi had no choice, so he could only take the initiative to take a step back.

At the foot of the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven, it is not the territory of his Wu Kingdom after all.

The Taiwei Mansion, who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, has more arrogant soldiers and fierce generals than him in Wu State, and he can overpower him.

"The third floor is not good, then empty the second floor!"

"The king, Lord Liu Qi, is holding a banquet on the second floor to entertain the Xiongnu, Dayue, Dawan, Loulan, Qiuzi, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Nanyue, Dongyue, Yelang, Dianguo, Ailao... and other envoys of various countries. The envoys in Jinling City are basically here. ”

The old bustard is still bitter.

Dahonglu Liu Qi was to entertain envoys from various countries on behalf of the Great Chu court. Almost all the vassal states around Great Chu have arrived.

If King Wu drove everyone away, something would definitely happen.

"What bullshit, this king will divide the second floor in half of them, enough to give them face! I don't care about you! ”

King Wu was annoyed.

He can't afford to offend Taiwei Li Rong, can't he afford to offend the envoys of these vassal states!

He is a dignified prince and king, and he doesn't sit upstairs, can he sit in the hall on the first floor of the painting boat, and a large group of idle people are mixed together?

Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, took all the princes and kings, as well as the descendants of the princes and kings, and broke into the second floor under the escort of all the armor soldiers.

No one dared to stop them.

There are a lot of envoys from Dahonglu Liu Qi and various countries, but there are no armor soldiers on the second floor.

The old bustard had no choice but to hurriedly go to discuss with Liu Qi, the great Honglu, and give up half of the seats on the second floor to the more than ten princes and kings and personal soldiers to guard.

Dahonglu Liu Qi also had a headache, "Forget it, the princes of the Xiang family, it's rare to come to Jinling City, let's give up half of the position on the second floor." Let the envoys of various countries squeeze it. ”

The princes and kings have always been domineering, and he can only greet him well, and he dare not offend.

...

There was a commotion in the painting boat, and the princes and kings went up to the second floor, occupied half of the box, and finally settled down.

Those Xiongnu and the envoys of various vassal states also arrived at the painting boat one after another, and Liu Qi, the great Honglu, came forward to entertain them.

...

The gentlemen in the hall couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw that the princes, the guards of the Ping Palace, and the envoys did not have any conflicts.

I thought that the princes and kings would be arrogant, but I didn't expect that in front of the Ping Wangfu, I still confessed.

"Cut, it's boring, forget it, let's keep playing! Xiao Duhou, your father-in-law may be upstairs, aren't you afraid that he will see you? ”

Xie Anran shook his head and said.

"It's coming, it's coming. He can come, why can't I? If he didn't see me, I didn't see him. If he wants to sue the county lord, I will complain to the second lady, who is afraid of whom! Come! Everyone drinks. ”

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.

More than a dozen of the most beautiful girls in the painting boat are drinking and having fun with a few Jinling gentlemen.

"Little Hou Ye, your new words are popular in the Qinhuai River, and the sisters love to listen to them. Or do you want to write another one? ”

"Yes, yes! Our sisters are looking forward to it all day long, and the little marquis can come with a few more songs, so that the sisters can satisfy their hunger! ”

The girls said coquettishly.
