The palace is located on a hill halfway up in the city of Chuzhou, and the name of the mountain is also elegant: Mingfeng Mountain.

It's just not high.

It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually more like a hill.

The side courtyard of the palace where I temporarily lived is not very large, and it can barely fit a group of people.

But there was no dwelling for slaves.

Because Li Ruyu didn't plan to buy slaves, he would recruit them after the palace was completed, so the seven singers sensibly took on the work of maids, and it was not troublesome to find temporary workers for manual work.

At present, all internal affairs are temporarily handled by Aunt Zhou, and she teaches Xiaoxiaoyan by example.

After all, sooner or later, Xiaoxiao will have to manage the entire palace.

It is said that it is the palace, in fact, Li Ruyu is very leisurely, he can't manage local government affairs, and the local garrison is the jurisdiction of the forbidden army, and he can't manage it - it's also a little interesting, after the dust of the Great War between the North and the South settled, there was no garrison in Chuzhou, but the news of Li Ruyu on Chuzhou had not yet come out, and the commander of the forbidden army sent it to the Privy Council.

The Chuzhou garrison was three thousand.

And he didn't wait for the approval of the Privy Council at all, he cut it first and then played it, and the Privy Minister turned a blind eye to this.

Among the 3,000 garrisons, there is one general and three generals.

There is no problem with the establishment, the problem is that among these four generals, all of Zhao family's henchmen, one of them is still Zhao Jin's cousin Zhao Shuang...... It is also the kind of Zhao family who was abandoned when the empress was there, and now it has been reused.

Li Ruyu didn't care about this at all.

It's not that he doesn't care about the three thousand forbidden army, if there is a conflict, if the three thousand forbidden army cooperates with a few martial arts masters, he is not afraid, but it is difficult to say that the family members.

And Zhao Jin must have lost one or two sons in Chuzhou, maybe there will be a master of Vientiane Realm.

Zhao Jin really hid it deep enough.

So far, Li Ruyu has no idea how many masters there are in Zhao Jin's hands, and there are still a few Vientiane realms among them, maybe there are people in the realm of Miyamoto Musashi.

On this night, Li Ruyu was invited to a luncheon.

It's also a little unreasonable, generally speaking, the banquet will be arranged in the evening, after all, it's good to have after-entertainment programs at night, and the girls in Chuzhou are all smart.

And the literati, what is a prostitute, an elegant thing!

However, I don't know what Zhou Huaisu is thinking, the squire rich Jia who was in the east proposed to invite the queen of Chu to a banquet, and the governor waved his sleeves and said that it would be at noon.

There was a scholar among the squires, who was a scholar and the first, and then his career was not smooth, so he simply returned to Chuzhou, he was smart enough, but he was not very good at slapping horses, so he asked Zhou Huaisu curiously.

Zhou Huaisu asked him with a smile, "Who do you think has the final say in the Chu Wangfu on the side of Mingfeng Mountain?" ”

The squire took it for granted, "Of course it's the King of Chu." ”

Zhou Huaisu shook his head, "He has the final say on many things, and he also has the final say in the aftershow after the banquet, but if someone is unhappy afterwards and wants to give us small shoes to wear, he doesn't count." ”

The squire suddenly realized, "Xie Wanxi?!" ”

Zhou Huaisu smiled and said nothing.

In fact, not to mention Xie Wanxi, offending Xie Wanxi is actually offending the entire Chen County Xie family, so in this matter, if Li Ruyu does not have the precedent of going to prostitute himself, Zhou Huaisu will definitely not take the initiative to arrange it.

The banquet was set at the best Yipin Yaju in Chuzhou.

In fact, it is the squire's own property, which is the most prestigious wonderful place in the entire Chuzhou and the surrounding areas, and the famous chefs from all over the country are hired, and all kinds of women selected by the whole country are trained and trained.

The integration of catering and entertainment can make people happy, and of course, it is also a gold hole.

There is a relatively vulgar rumor in Chuzhou: one product for one day, and a barbarian for three years.

On the surface, it means that it is to entertain for a day in Yipinya Curie, and it takes three years for a coolie to work to achieve it, and the secret meaning is that the Japanese character is a verb.

Therefore, the average man really doesn't go one day at a time.

This time, there were more people invited to the banquet, and the squires, rich people, Confucians, and officialdom after the Zhishi were more weighty on the table in the entire Chuzhou, plus the people in Chuzhou Prefecture.

Of course, Zhao Shuang, the general of the Chuzhou Forbidden Army garrison, and the three generals under his command are indispensable.

It was also this banquet that made the behind-the-scenes boss of Yipin Yaju discover how correct Zhou Huaisu of Zhizhou was: His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to the banquet and brought his fiancée Xie Wanxi.

This is tantamount to giving everyone a signal.

Xie Wanxi will definitely be the princess of Chu, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu will definitely not go to prostitutes.

It was this feast that became a feast.

There is wine, there is singing, there is dancing, but without elegance, it is much more boring - for men.

Li Ruyu is okay.

Staggered with everyone, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, the atmosphere was warm, and even thanked the rich squires who funded the construction of the palace, which was only on the surface.

As for whether it needs to be talked about secretly, it depends on what Li Ruyu means.

Of course, Li Ruyu is interesting.

During the banquet, there was no suspicion of revealing that when the palace could entertain guests, these squires and wealthy people would be invited to a banquet alone, and they could usually see the peerless neon dance when they went to Ouchi.

Several squires were overjoyed.

However, some people were not happy.

Zhao Shuang suddenly put the wine glass on the table, and took the lead in attacking, wanting to give Li Ruyu a dismount, or he just wanted to embarrass Li Ruyu, and said loudly: "A few masters are really interesting, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has just arrived in the domain, and you are not afraid of falling into the situation of disloyalty and injustice for His Highness like this!" ”

The words were said to a few squires and rich people, but they looked at Li Ruyu.

Li Ruyu smiled and asked gently: "General Zhao has something to say, in your opinion, if I am disloyal and unjust, do you want to lead three thousand forbidden troops to destroy my Chu Wangfu while I am in the morning?" ”

Generally speaking, the prince of Daliang, if he is surnamed Zhao, can raise 800 soldiers, and the prince with a different surname can only raise 300, which is the strictest control of the soldiers of the vassal king's palace in all dynasties.

Even the vassal king could not lead the army.

This is the rule set by Taizu, and what is prevented is the division of the vassal king.

It's just that since the loss of half of the country, this rule has been ruthlessly trampled on by the prince of the Yue family, and later broken by Yue Dan and Zhao Changyi, and to this day, the rules are still there.

But will Li Ruyu comply?

Li Ruyu's words are very light and heavy.

If it was a normal situation, even if Zhao Shuang had any ideas, he should take a step back, after all, he was facing a prince who was very cool and upright, but he didn't.

He knew that Li Ruyu would not comply, but he absolutely did not believe that Li Ruyu could raise even a hundred soldiers in Chuzhou, surrounded by himself.

Absolutely, impossible!

sneered: "If someone has a hidden evil heart and wants to fall into a dangerous situation, Zhao should spend all his blood to defend the peace of Chuzhou, how can it be stopped by the government soldiers, let alone not!" ”

-for-tat, almost tearing the skin.

The wind and rain came too suddenly, and too quickly, no one thought that Zhao Shuang would choose this time to make trouble.

It's so unreasonable.

However, everyone knows that the dispute between Li Ruyu and the Zhao family cannot be reasonable.

For a while, the entire banquet hall was so quiet that it was audible, and some of the squires and wealthy men who were unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the Zhao family and Li Ruyu had quietly withdrawn.

Li Ruyu smiled deeply and looked at Zhao Shuang, "Zhao Shuang, do you really think that Chuzhou is under your jurisdiction, and this king is a lonely person, do you really think that your 3,000 forbidden army is invincible in Chuzhou?" ”

After a pause, "I think you might be overthinking." ”

Waved his hand lightly, "You may not believe it when you say it, this king's palace soldiers are already in place!" ”

Zhao Shuang laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if you say that you can block a thousand with one sword and break my three thousand forbidden soldiers, I believe it, if you say that there are government soldiers in Chuzhou, I really don't believe it, why should Your Highness ask for humiliation." ”

I arrived in Chuzhou before you, and the various measures I laid out are enough to ensure that you Li Ruyu can't recruit a young man to fill the government army in Chuzhou, and you Li Ruyu is here, just a dragon swimming in shallow water!

These words are completely unsympathetic, and they are directly straightforward to tear the skin.

Li Ruyu smiled, "If you don't believe it, you have to believe it." ”

looked outside the banquet hall, and said with a smile: "Chuzhou, it is the Chuzhou of this king, not the Chuzhou of your Zhao Shuang!" ”

Everyone doesn't know why.

Only Zhou Huaisu laughed meaningfully, sure enough, Li Ruyu came to Chuzhou not as the world saw, he was forced by the Zhao family to come to the domain, but he wanted to come to the domain.

It's only been a few days since I arrived in Chuzhou, and there are already government soldiers, who will believe it?

Outside the banquet hall, a firework rushed into the air and burst into the air.

In the banquet hall, everyone's faces changed.

Who's signaling?

Zhao Shuang looked at Li Ruyu and muttered for a long time, "Your Highness, doesn't you want to order the Iron Spine Army to attack the city?" ”

This is more straightforward.

But everyone understands that this kind of thing is not impossible.

Li Ruyu smiled, "This king's soldiers and horses, why do you want to attack this king's Chuzhou, isn't General Zhao drunk?" ”

Before the words fell, on the avenue outside Yipinyaju, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, which was deafening, and immediately saw Zhao Shuang's faces and several personal soldiers running in, and said in a panic: "The general is not good, there are hundreds of unknown troops outside!" ”

Zhao Shuang was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

How is this possible.

In the city of Chuzhou, which is guarded by his 3,000 forbidden troops, how can there be unknown soldiers and horses?

Absolutely, impossible!

Li Ruyu got up and said to everyone: "The wine has been drunk, your hospitality, this king remembers it, he will set up a banquet to invite you back, and please appreciate your face, and I hope that you can work with this king to jointly defend the peace of Chuzhou." ”

Li Ruyu pulled Xiaoxiao out of the door.

The group, including Zhao Shuang and the three generals, all came out together, they were not afraid, but they didn't understand, how could Li Ruyu have a government soldier in Chuzhou.

Outside the gate, everyone froze in place.

This is...... Li Ruyu's government soldiers?

What kind of soldier is this?

On the long street, the wind roared and the horses neighed, and in a black sea, shining like snow, the coercion spread out like a thousand jun, overwhelming people.

Especially Zhao Shuang and the three generals, they couldn't believe what they saw.

The absolutely impossible thing has happened!

In front of him, hundreds of elite iron riders were wearing black light armor, covered with black swords, like a black ocean, with swords at their waists and spears in their hands, and the tips of the spears were as bright as snow!

The black horse under the crotch is strong and majestic, and it is also covered in light armor.

And the most unbearable pressure is that these hundreds of elite iron horsemen, all wearing masks with blue faces and fangs, oozing blood and ruthlessness from their bones, and the eyes in addition to Chi Chen's loyalty, there is only wanton killing intent.

Hideous and terrifying.

This is not so much Li Ruyu's government soldiers, but rather an army that came out of hell, there is no doubt that among these hundreds of people, each of them is a veteran who crawled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses on the battlefield.

This is Li Ruyu's government soldier?

When did they appear in Chuzhou City?

Nobody knows.

Li Ruyu stood at the front, behind him, there were hundreds of hell soldiers, looked back at Zhao Shuang, and smiled gently, "Look, there are some things you have to believe, just like this Chuzhou is the Chuzhou of this king, you can not believe it, but you must accept it." ”

Don't accept it?

Die!

There is no second way.

Zhao Shuang was cold, there was a trace of panic in his eyes, he couldn't say a word, he couldn't see these hundreds of iron horses, he only saw a strong despair.

It wasn't until this moment that he knew that Li Ruyu's entry was originally the plan of the empress's sword.

Perhaps before Li Ruyu arrived in Chuzhou, these elite iron horsemen infiltrated Chuzhou into pieces, and when Li Ruyu was in place, they gathered and became a terrifying army of soldiers.

This government army, 3,000 forbidden troops can be defeated?

Zhao Shuang didn't have the slightest confidence, and even felt that this was an issue that didn't need to be discussed at all.

Li Ruyu pulled Xiaoxiao on the horse and rode forward.

The eight hundred elites behind him also followed and woke up silently, and the horses' hooves stepped on the same node almost uniformly, shaking everyone's hearts and beating out desperate notes.

A flag behind a knight who followed Li Ruyu fluttered in the wind, with two big characters written on it.

Demon.

Eight hundred charms, can consolidate the Chu state of the king of Chu!

Who dares to disagree?
