The next day, more and more gentry came from Jining, and more gifts and materials were shipped over the assembly line, which was even more lively than the New Year.

Empress Zhou specially came over to discuss with Xu Changqing: "Changqing, do you want the prince to meet them?" ”

In this regard, Empress Zhou is still very cautious.

After all, Zhu Cihong is justifiable, and he can ascend the throne when he arrives in Nanjing, and he must not make mistakes at this time, especially with Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Of course you can." These are all the roots of the Ming Dynasty. It is also a beautiful thing for them to feel the benevolence and righteousness of the prince. ”

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't seem to be a fake, Queen Zhou was a little relieved and was busy arranging.

Xu Changqing watched Empress Zhou's shadow leave, his eyes narrowed slightly.

……

Because of the need to appease many gentry, inadvertently, the speed of the team slowed down again.

At this time, it was already the eighth day of August.

In the evening, Queen Zhou came over to discuss with Xu Changqing again, or she would not go to Jining, and she would hurry first.

Xu Changqing thought about it for a while, but decided to go to Jining to have a look.

Although Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying put the day of their accession to the throne in September, things are done by people, how can they remain the same?

Jining is a big city in Shandong, and at this time it is the largest and most prosperous city in Shandong except Haicheng.

Not to mention, there are some interesting things to do.

However, Queen Zhou obviously didn't want to delay the auspicious day that had been set, although Zhu Cihong was still full of spring breeze to appease many gentry, but the speed was much faster.

Finally, on the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the team arrived outside the handsome Jining City, and there were countless gentry and people who had been waiting here for a long time.

This is definitely the most enthusiastic, large-scale and largest welcoming ceremony that Xu Changqing and his party have encountered since they set off from Haicheng.

These gentry also warmly invited Xu Changqing, Empress Zhou, Zhu Cihong and others to enter the city for a day of rest.

Empress Zhou was a little hesitant, but Zhu Cihong was looking forward to it.

Moreover, after Jinan was broken, many yamen in Shandong have temporarily moved here, and the specifications are not small.

When Empress Zhou came over again to ask Xu Changqing's opinion, Xu Changqing thought for a while and agreed to this request.

Suddenly, there was a sensation outside the entire city of Jining, and countless people were happy and kowtowed desperately, as if they had won the lottery.

With the emperors of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty, like some little pockmarks and perfect old men, they traveled around, which was very rare in the Ming Dynasty.

Many emperors of the Ming Dynasty have never been out of Beijing in their lives.

At this time, Zhu Cihong, the quasi-emperor of heaven, came over, which seemed to add a lot of points to the entire city.

Xu Changqing was not with them.

After entering the city with hundreds of personal soldiers, Xu Changqing first went to see the warehouse of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion.

Compared with Qufu, Jining is really much more prosperous.

Although there are a lot of people dressed up as homeless people on the street, more than half of them are very neatly dressed, and the most important thing is that kind of thriving popularity.

The warehouse of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion is located by the canal in the city, covering a large scale and is very majestic.

Perhaps because there has been no business for too long, this huge pier is not popular, and there are no coolies waiting in line to work.

Cao Jizhou was extremely clever, and had faintly touched Xu Changqing's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Master Hou, in the past, this was the most prosperous place in Jining, and there were people everywhere. But now, the trade of the canal is basically broken, Jining is the end, and there have been no people in the south for a long time, so it has withered......"

However, although this guy was respectful on the surface, Xu Changqing caught that his mind was not here, but had already flown to Queen Zhou and the crown prince.

Xu Changqing did not break it, and still inspected the warehouse unhurriedly.

Whether it is the grain that is transported to Jingshi, even if it has been stored for almost a year, the condition is still very good, Xu Changqing inspected seven or eight large warehouses one after another, and there is no problem.

Seeing that Cao Jizhou was already tired and sweating profusely, I was afraid that his old waist was weak, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Let's stop here today." Lao Cao, thank you for your hard work. ”

Cao Jizhou's face was relieved, although he didn't show much on his face, but he was like being amnestied in his heart, and he hurriedly smiled: "Master Hou, you are very loving, and it is an honor for you to be able to serve you." ”

got into the carriage and saw that Cao Jizhou also got into the carriage like a stupid penguin, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth.

He wants to see what kind of medicine these people are selling in their gourds!

……

In the evening, all parties in Jining held a grand banquet in Songhe Tower, a well-known time-honored restaurant in the city, to entertain Xu Changqing and others.

I don't know what ecstasy soup these gentry poured into Queen Zhou, except for Zhu Yujiao, who had a big belly, who didn't come, including Zhou Cairen, Yuan Cairen, and Zhu Cijiong, who had been imprisoned for a long time, all brought over.

Of course, the ladies must have a separate table, and Zhu Cijiong was also stuffed into the corner.

The protagonist tonight is completely the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

And Zhu Cihong's performance also made Xu Changqing a little playful.

Although he couldn't restrain his excitement, maybe it was because of the polishing during this time, he had been forcibly holding back, without the slightest covetousness, saying that the rules were a little bad, and even a little brilliant.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

As the troupe on the stage began to sing, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more lively.

Master Zhang, the deputy envoy of Shandong, said to Xu Changqing with a smile: "Master Hou, this protagonist is the most famous talented woman in our Jining City, named 'Gou Yunu'. Wait a minute, you must let her come over and give you a good toast to Master Hou. ”

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded: "Lord Zhang is polite." ”

Xu Changqing is not too interested in this kind of classical drama, and even a little incomprehensible, because it is sung in dialect, which is not the same as the Shandong dialect of later generations.

However, this hook jade slave is quite capable, and he plays a fierce general vividly.

On the lonely main table, Zhu Cihong quickly became fascinated, and only then did he reveal some of his true temperament, which was still a little childish.

And after Shaman, Queen Zhou and others were also attracted and fascinated.

Xu Changqing watched it carefully for a while, and finally understood what this play was about, it was the fierce general Gao Zhong under Yue Fei who broke through the pulley formation of Yan Wushu.

This drama also existed in Peking Opera in later generations, but it was not the same style at all at this time.

As the scene gradually deepened, Gou Yunu played the tragic hero of Gao Zhong more and more fascinatingly, as if people returned to the battlefield of the year.

Xu Changqing seemed to be watching the play very fascinated at this time, but Yu Guang had been observing the surrounding situation.

After watching the play, tonight's banquet is almost over, and everything seems to be normal.

But in this kind of normality, Xu Changqing faintly felt a little wrong, but what was wrong, Xu Changqing couldn't say for a while.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Xu Changqing took advantage of the time of drinking, and secretly looked at Yuan Cairen behind Shaman not far away.

Unlike Queen Zhou and others who were attracted by the play, although Yuan Cairen was also watching the play, Xu Changqing could feel it, and she was a little uneasy now.

"What went wrong?"

Xu Changqing's fingers under the table flicked again and again.

"Good!"

"Gou Ye is a good means!"

At this time, the play finally reached its climax, and after Gao Zhong picked a lot of pulleys, he died in battle, and there were constant cheers around.

It was Zhu Cihong's uncontrollable clapping, I don't know how long it had been, and it was the first time he was so happy like this.

After the play was over, everyone saluted, and the cheers were still enduring.

Cao Jizhou hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Quick, please come over and toast our Hou Ye!" ”

Soon, Goyu Nu didn't have time to remove her makeup, and accompanied by the two little girls, Yingying came here.

The eyes of many men at the table suddenly lit up.

The figure of this hook jade slave is really seductive.

Even Zhu Cihong's eyes were a little straight.

Xu Changqing was also attracted for a while, but he came back to his senses after a while, this woman is really tasteful, and she has a fight with her light-faced figure.

But Xu Changqing has just held an Oiran Contest, what kind of beauty has he never seen? And this Goyu Nu is obviously not a chick.

"Slave and maid Gou Yu slave, a cup of toast to the marquis. Thank you Lord Hou for defeating the Tartars and keeping me safe......"

Soon, Gou Yunu came to Xu Changqing's side with a faint fragrance, and respectfully filled Xu Changqing with a glass of wine.

Xu Changqing took the wine glass and played with it, but he was not in a hurry to drink.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire hall became a little tense, and everyone couldn't figure out Xu Changqing's thoughts.

Magatanu was also tense and a little overwhelmed.

Xu Changqing glanced around, stared at Gou Yunu with squinting eyes, and said, "Gou Ye is really good at talking." But I love to hear it! ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it all.

Only then did the crowd relax a little.

However, just when everyone thought that Xu Changqing was going to drink all the wine, Xu Changqing suddenly got up and overturned the table with a 'bang'.

In the next moment, before everyone could react, Xu Changqing's figure was already like an arrow off the string, and a 'iron lock throat' swept directly towards the snow-white neck of Houyu Nu.

"Master Hou, you ......"

Where has Magatanu ever seen such a scene? In an instant, my legs were frightened and weak, and I was at a loss for what to do.

But a little girl next to her suddenly shouted: "Do it!" ”

"Bang, bang!"

In an instant, the sleeves of the two little girls flipped over, and several sharp cold lights came straight towards Xu Changqing!

“@#%￥%！”

Xu Changqing has been guarding against Gou Yunu, but he didn't expect that it was not her who was cheating, but the two little girls beside her!

At the moment of crisis, Xu Changqing didn't have time to think about it, with his strong waist and abdomen strength, the figure that originally rushed towards Gou Yunu quickly moved to the side, and in the blink of an eye, it was a 'donkey rolling', and it quickly swept to the other side.

"Puff puff ......"

In the next moment, Cao Jizhou, Master Zhang and several others who were behind Xu Changqing fell into blood mold, and before they even had time to scream in horror, the terrible poisonous needles had already been nailed into their bodies.

Several people were directly frozen on the spot, and they froze all of a sudden!

Seeing that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, the two little girls glanced at each other, "Huh", and directly pulled out the soft knife on their waists, like two agile little monkeys, and slashed towards Xu Changqing in the blink of an eye.

"Ahh

"Protect the Hou Ye, protect the Crown Prince!"

At this time, Queen Zhou and the others reacted and screamed in horror.

The pro-soldiers downstairs also hurried up.

"Huh!"

Xu Changqing has always been on guard, the treasure knife has never left his body, and he pulled it out violently, and the incomparably powerful knife went towards the two twin-like little girls.

"Whew!"

In the next moment, the treasure knife and the soft knife confronted each other, making a piercing sound of gold and iron.

However, although Xu Changqing's ancestral treasure knife is sharp, the soft knife of the two little girls is soft to overcome rigidity, and it was not immediately defeated after it was opened, but its body was staggering.

Xu Changqing didn't have time to think, so he flew up and kicked directly at the person on the left.

"Hmm......"

This little girl didn't have time to take precautions, and was kicked out directly by Xu Changqing.

The other originally wanted to cut off Xu Changqing's neck directly, but he didn't expect Xu Changqing to be so fast and so ruthless, and while kicking her companion, the scabbard had already reached her side.

She didn't dare to be tough anymore, so she chose to retreat.

"Whoosh!"

Just when Xu Changqing wanted to chase and kill her, a terrible sound suddenly came from overhead.

Because of Tang Yu's relationship, Xu Changqing is too familiar with this voice, this is the voice of a crossbow machine!

Xu Changqing didn't dare to be tough, and quickly rolled on another donkey, avoiding the coverage of this crossbow machine.

"Hmm......"

"Puff puff ......"

However, this crossbow machine was not aimed at Xu Changqing, but several other people at the main table.

Because Xu Changqing lifted the table just now, they had nowhere to hide, and several people were nailed to death in the blink of an eye!

“@#￥%%！”

At this time, the people on the roof suddenly shouted a few words, but it was not Chinese, but Japanese.

The two little girl killers directly ignored Xu Changqing, and turned to kill Zhu Cihong quickly!
