At this time, although it was delayed for several days in Jining because of the assassination, if the progress was accelerated, it would be able to catch up with the auspicious time set in September.

Xu Changqing almost didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "In this matter, Changqing should do his best to ensure the smooth completion of the task." I wonder if Lord Ruan has any other orders? ”

"Forehead ......"

For a while, not only Ruan Dacheng was a little confused, but Shi Dewei, Hou Fangyu and others were also a little unable to find the north.

It must be known that the date of Zhu Cihong's accession to the throne at this time is almost directly related to the initiative of the entire world!

Who would have thought that Xu Changqing had obviously taken the initiative in his hands, and he could fool around for any reason, and then Xu Changqing would decide, but he would directly let it out at this time and proceed according to the original plan......

Until Xu Changqing prepared the dinner party and warmly invited them to dinner, they still didn't come back to their senses.

However, at the dinner, Xu Changqing did not have any edge, he was gentle and elegant, and almost responded to everything in Nanjing.

After the dinner was over, returning to the big tent, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It's not the same as I thought.

He originally planned to argue with Xu Changqing, but who knows, Xu Changqing had no intention of arguing at all, so he gave them all the benefits......

"Ahem, my lord, are you there?"

At this time, Hou Fangyu's voice suddenly sounded outside.

Ruan Dacheng also came back to his senses violently, and coughed dryly: "It's Chaozong." Come on in. ”

After a while, Hou Fangyu respectfully came to the tent, and after glancing at Ruan Dacheng, he was speechless.

After a while, Hou Fangyu spoke up: "My lord, is there something wrong with this?" Haicheng waits for ...... here."

Ruan Dacheng still admires Hou Fangyu very much, if he has the opportunity, he will not give Hou Fangyu a hand, of course, that is when he is in full control.

But at this time, his heart was a mess, how could he show too much?

"Hey."

Ruan Dacheng sighed deeply: "Hou Ye's thoughts, how can we ordinary people speculate?" Chaozong, don't think about it too much. Uncle has already agreed to act according to the original plan, which is a great good thing for me. Rest well tonight, and tomorrow, let's go see the prince and the queen. ”

"Yes......"

Waiting for Hou Fangyu to leave, Ruan Dacheng suddenly shook his head with a smile.

There must be demons in the impermanence of the world!

Can he Xu Changqing be such a good person, so easy to let such a big fat out?

But Xu Changqing did just that......

Ruan Dacheng didn't know for a while what kind of medicine Xu Changqing was selling in this gourd.

But he can already be sure of one thing at this time, Xu Changqing is a bit unfathomable.

……

With Ruan Dacheng and others joining the team, the speed of the team accelerated a lot, and by August 22, the team had already followed the course of the Grand Canal and came to the territory of Suqian.

However, after several days of hurrying, even if Ruan Dacheng had been riding in the carriage, his tired bones were about to fall apart, and he strongly asked Xu Changqing to rest in Suqian for a day.

Xu Changqing smiled and agreed to his request very neatly.

Just as the team had just set up camp outside Suqian City, there was a report from the soldiers that Zheng Sen had arrived.

Xu Changqing had long expected that the Zheng family would definitely send someone over, but he didn't expect that he would come so late and frown a little.

But when Xu Changqing saw Zheng Sen, he was taken aback: "Brother Da Mu, you, what are you doing?" ”

Zheng Sen was at least a lot thinner than before at this time, and his eyes bulged out, as if he was seriously ill.

As soon as he saw Xu Changqing, he was also a little like a baby. When I saw my parents, I smiled bitterly and explained: "Uncle, as early as nearly ten days ago, my father asked the student to rush here, who would have thought, I don't know what's going on, the student has some problems in his stomach......"

After listening to Zheng Sen, Xu Changqing was also a little crying and laughing, this guy was really sick.

"Brother Damu, it's okay, it's okay if you're fine. Don't worry, take care of your body first. ”

Zheng Sen is almost the same age as Xu Changqing, but how can he have Xu Changqing's composure? Hurriedly explained the matter to Xu Changqing and cleared their Zheng family's suspicions.

Xu Changqing has long judged this.

If the matter is really done by the Zheng family, then Zheng Zhilong is definitely a top hero, how can there be anything to do with the Manchu Dynasty?

Pity.

According to his temperament, he is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and he will definitely not be so rash.

Zheng Sen dragged such a weak sick body over at this time, which also confirmed Xu Changqing's judgment, after all, the pretending was not pretending to be this part.

After arranging Zheng Sen, the envoys of Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu also rushed over.

Huang Degong's envoy is still Huang Erlang, and Zuo Liangyu is Xu Changqing's brother-in-law Zuo Mengeng, who is not an outsider.

Things are basically clear by this time, and it is no surprise that Zhu Cihong's ascension to the throne will definitely go ahead as promised, and at this time, everyone will naturally have to increase their weight.

And Huang Erlang didn't come by himself, Liu Zeqing, who had been under house arrest for a long time, also brought him.

On Zuo Mengeng's side, there is also the chief soldier Qiu Lei, who is Zuo Mengmei's biological father, and the Zuo family obviously wants to use this relationship to get closer to Xu Changqing.

After greetings, Xu Changqing immediately set up a banquet for everyone to wash the dust.

They are all military figures, Wang Tingchen and Liu Zhaoji also came to accompany them, and Liu Zhaoji and Zuo Mengeng still have an old relationship, which also makes the atmosphere very lively.

However, in the excitement on the surface, Liu Zeqing is not happy anywhere, and he already hates Huang Degong to the bone!

If it weren't for the conditions not allowing it at this time, he would definitely have to slash Huang Erlang.

Xu Changqing thought that Huang Degong was too domineering and not very sensible at first, but looking at Liu Zeqing's gritted teeth, he suddenly became clever!

Huang Degong is not sensible, how can he be too sensible......

He offended Liu Zeqing to death, why didn't he give this handle to himself?

After the banquet was over, returning to his big tent, Xu Changqing also fell into deep thought, and he couldn't underestimate the heroes of the world!

……

As the old saying goes: "The temple is a small demon and the wind is strong, and the pool is deep and the king is eight." ”

Not to mention that at this time, Xu Changqing's team has been mixed with so many forces, it is a bit of a hodgepodge.

However, the matter is about to become clear, and no one on all sides dares to make trouble.

It was under this apparent peace that the procession continued southward.

When he arrived in Siyang, Huang Degong also rushed over with more than 1,000 elite horsemen, although he did not bear the guilt of Jing Pleading, but he also put his posture very low.

Xu Changqing is also taking a closer look at this very competitive player.

It's almost the same as I imagined, a typical soldier dress, tall, strong, and resolute, but his skin is excellent, a little too white, and he looks a lot more elegant, but not abrupt.

It can be seen that he is a person with a deep city.

"Huang Junmen, I've been looking up for a long time."

"Master Hou, speaking of which, it's a crime to be humble......"

Huang Degong's posture was lower.

Xu Changqing laughed: "Huang Junmen said that he was joking, you and I are colleagues, not directly subordinate to the subordinates, why do you say this?" Along the way, the security of Huai'an Mansion is still very good, and Huang Junmen has made great contributions. ”

Huang Degong also captured some of Xu Changqing's temperament at this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Xu Changqing was like this.

His mind, the city, even if he is more than 20 years older, may not be able to do it.

With Huang Degong arriving and reaching an agreement with Xu Changqing, all aspects were smoother, at least on the surface.

At this time, the size of the team, plus the people selected from all over the country, there were already 50,000 or 60,000 people, and from a distance, it was like a moving castle.

Finally.

On August 29, the team successfully arrived at the bank of the majestic Yangtze River.

Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, and Xu Hongji had already prepared thousands of boats of all kinds, ready to escort the team across the river.

However, at this time, the destination has been reached, and everyone on all sides is not in a hurry.

And with the cattle and sheep grain sent by the gentry from all over the country, there is no shortage of baggage in the team, and at night, on the bank of the rolling Yangtze River, it is another banquet as usual.

Of course, there is a difference between civil and military, even at this time and in this environment, the two sides are still separated, which is even more strict than the men's and women's toilets in later generations.

Xu Changqing was a little amused by this, but more helpless, so he could only run around frequently.

"Qiu Junmen, come, let's have a drink."

After three rounds of drinking, everyone let go, especially the military people, which were a little messy, and they were not much better than the barbecue stalls in later generations.

Xu Changqing finally found an opportunity to come over and have a drink with Qiu Lei alone.

Qiu Lei was instantly clever, and most of the previous wine dissipated, and he hurriedly raised his wine glass respectfully: "Master Hou, you are laughing, it should be a ...... to humble your respect."

As he spoke, he drank it.

Xu Changqing stopped him very covertly, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, Mei'er has given birth to a daughter, beautiful and cute, this glass of wine, the son-in-law respects you!" When I have a chance in the future, I will ask Mei'er to take the little girl to see you. ”

“……”

Qiu Lei's tears were rolling in his eyes in an instant, and the whole person trembled a little uncontrollably.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, because he couldn't say it, let alone say it, and if he hadn't experienced it, who could understand that he would give his own daughter to someone else to raise?

After a while, Qiu Lei came back to his senses, touched the wine glass with Xu Changqing, and drank it all.

Then, as if they were very strange, the two quickly separated.

Not long after, Xu Changqing found Huang Degong again, "Huang Shuai, come, let's go with each other." ”

Huang Degong's wine glass was hurriedly lowered by three points: "Master Hou, Huang did it first as a respect." ”

After drinking, the two looked at each other, all without saying a word.

I also accompanied Ruan Dacheng's ministers to drink a lot, and after drinking the banquet, even Xu Changqing was a little big.

No way.

There are too many people, and you can't be opportunistic at this time, even Xu Changqing's body is a little unbearable.

was about to go back to the tent to rest, Queen Zhou must be waiting, and she was about to separate, this woman was crazy a lot......

But at this time, Xu Changqing was suddenly stunned.

Behind a big tent not far away, a Qianying had obviously been waiting for a long time, her pretty face was full of resentment, and her eyes were hazy with tears, it was Yuan Cairen......

On the night in Jining before, although the two were a little ambiguous, Xu Changqing had always maintained a sense of proportion, and did not rush into it, and he was deliberately avoiding her during this time......

However, after hesitating for a moment, Xu Changqing still waved his hand to let the soldiers disperse, walked over quickly, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Yuan Cairen's pretty face, which was already covered with tears, couldn't stop it in an instant, and tears poured out wildly: "You, don't you look down on me?" I'm still a virgin. Son! ”

“……”

Xu Changqing was suddenly a little confused, Zhu Cihong wouldn't be so stupid, right? This......

But before Xu Changqing could speak, Yuan Cairen said in a pleading voice: "When we go to Nanjing, I'm afraid we won't see each other again...... I don't want to stay in the deep palace for the rest of my life, and I'll still be a yellow flower girl! Xu Lang, you, will you help me once? ”

“……”
