Moreover, in front of the mansion, I saw Zhang Xing, Zhang Whale's little nephew.

Zhang Xing jumped over and called affectionately: "Uncle is back." ”

Besides, one of them almost fell down and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, what do you call me, brother." ”

"Call my brother? You're a lot bigger than me. Aren't you a colleague with my uncle? ”

"Then you have to call me brother, you can't call me uncle, I'm only five or six years older than you, how can I become an uncle? Am I that old? Besides, he pretended to be angry.

"That's not right, you have so many wives, I don't have one, you must be more than me." Zhang Xing refused to admit his mistake and insisted on calling him uncle.

Besides, I really want to kick this kid a few times, I've never seen such a hateful one, I'm only in my early twenties, how can I become his uncle, this kid is also fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Hey, uncle, Sister Xue'er is yours, right?" Zhang Xing asked with a mouse's eyebrows.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"That'...... Then can you give me Sister Xue'er, whatever you want, my uncle will give it to you, and he won't ask for your person in vain. Zhang Xing is serious.

"For you? Why, do you like Cher? ”

"Of course, Sister Xue'er is the most beautiful, I want her to be my wife." Zhang Xing crossed his waist and said with a heroic face.

"Be a wife? You haven't grown your hair yet, so you want to marry a wife. If you want your wife and uncle to give you Mingmei, you are marrying a lady. ”

"I don't want anyone else, I want Xue'er, uncle, you say, what do you want me to exchange with you?"

Besides, he didn't bother to pay attention to this little bastard, and walked straight away, but Zhang Xing refused to give up and followed him closely. Moreover, the guards behind him laughed.

"You like Cher, but does Cher like you?" Besides, he turned his head to look at this kid.

If Xue'er really looks at this kid, it is not bad, although he is the nephew of the eunuch, he can be regarded as a prominent person. Although the eunuch's son and nephew have a bad reputation, they actually have a very high status, and Cao Mengde in the Three Kingdoms is the son of the eunuch.

Of course, the eunuchs did not have their own sons, but they were all inherited from their brothers. Cao Cao was inherited from Xiahou's family to the Cao family, so Cao Cao also treated Xiahoudun as his own brother.

"She doesn't like me, Cher hates me, but that's okay, after I marry her, she won't hate me anymore." Zhang Xing was still bouncing around, and said with a heartless smile.

"That's not good, only if she likes you too, that's fine." Besides, shake your head.

"Why not, isn't Sister Xue'er yours? As long as you give Sister Cher to me, she will obey. Zhang Xing said loudly.

Besides, he snorted a few times from his nose, if Zhang Whale hadn't been good to him all the time, he really wouldn't have taken care of this kid, let alone talk so much nonsense to him.

"Go back and tell your uncle that if you want a wife, let him marry you, you can marry anything." Besides, he walked in by himself.

After walking in, I smiled bitterly in my heart: I didn't expect to get into trouble when I came out with Xue'er for the first time, it seems that the beauty really has to be hidden in the golden house, and she can't be seen casually, and now she is remembered by a little pervert.

In the past two days, Zhang Whale couldn't catch the shadow of the situation, so he simply didn't pull him to rehearse how to be a prince, but personally supervised and trained those dancers who pretended to be palace maids, and guided them to familiarize themselves with the etiquette and process of serving the prince.

Zhang Whale also saw that he had no acting talent at all, it was pure rotten wood and could not be carved, but fortunately, there was no need to work hard in this matter, as long as these dancers pretending to be palace maids could perform in place.

The little eunuchs under him are also working hard to guide, this is what they must do every day, and they are definitely experts among experts. Those dancers also happen to have acting geniuses, and their biggest strength is that they are good at observing words and colors, and spying on people's psychological needs, so although the time is short, it has been fruitful.

Besides, when he returned to the study, he saw Zhou Dingcheng waiting for him inside.

"Things are not good, I went out to check on the strange things that happened yesterday, and only to find out that a rumor has spread throughout the city."

"What rumors?"

"Say you have a treasure map, a treasure map of a great fortune." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"What?" Besides, he was so frightened that he staggered, and he stood still holding on to the chair in front of him. Why is this thing flooding with scum again?

He and Zhou Dingcheng looked at each other, and both had deep fear in their eyes.

At the beginning in Fengyang, it was because of the rumors of a treasure map that the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Sect all heard the wind and almost poured out, and that time, he really almost died in Fengyang.

Zhou Dingcheng was present at that time, and Murong's master and apprentice were also there, and it was there that he met Xiaojun.

After that incident, the treasure map matter was over, and no one mentioned it again, but now this rumor has popped up again.

No wonder those people went to the tavern yesterday like flies chasing the smell, apparently for the so-called treasure map.

"Then why did you stop so much today, since these people believe in some treasure maps, and they also believe in me, they shouldn't all die down today." Besides.

"I also checked this matter by the way, mainly because everyone felt fooled by yesterday's incident, and today they are all holding a wait-and-see attitude, afraid that they will be calculated again." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"Hmph, they also know that they are calculated? So they still believe this rumor? Besides, he snorted coldly.

"These are two different things, everyone thinks that the treasure map thing is true, and yesterday it was just people with ulterior motives who wanted to make trouble." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"It's just stupid." Besides, he hated it.

"That's true, but we don't have any good way, now we can only be careful and careful, fortunately, we are not fighting alone as when we were in Fengyang, and we have many allies."

"Allies? Once everyone really believes this rumor, any ally will become an enemy, and they will all want to kill me and seize the treasure map. The man who made this rumor wanted to kill me. Besides, he said stupidly.

Zhou Dingcheng nodded silently, it is true, if there is no treasure map, you can still find some allies, but with this burden, there will be no trustworthy people, people die for money, birds die for food, this sentence will always be true for some people.

"Can you find out who is responsible for this rumor?" Besides, he asked.

"It's difficult, it's impossible to determine where the rumors originated or when they started spreading." Zhou Dingcheng shook his head.

"It looks like we're going to be surrounded and hunted again?" Besides, he smiled bitterly.

"Not necessarily, we don't have 10,000 cavalry, and it's hard to say who will hunt who when the time comes. How wise it is for you to come out with 10,000 horses. Zhou Dingcheng praised.

Besides, with a wry smile, where did he have this foresight, it was just a mistake, but with 10,000 cavalry, he was not necessarily safe and sound, and those masters of the rivers and lakes had too many ways to penetrate the layers of protection, that is, he was not absolutely safe anywhere.

Not long after, Murong Yanran's master and apprentice and Xiaojun also came, and Zhuo Maolin went out to see his subordinates, but he hadn't come back yet.

"You know that, too?" As soon as Jiu Niang saw the heavy expression, she understood.

"I know, it's really a treasure that touches people's hearts, a ridiculous rumor has mobilized so many masters, so many factions to surround and suppress me, but it really looks down on me." Besides, pretend to be relaxed.

"It's not necessarily all for some treasure map, some people still have other intentions. Many of these people are wise and knowledgeable, and they will not all believe such baseless rumors. Murong Yanran said.

"What would that be?" Besides, he frowned and asked.

"I guess it's sabotaging this negotiation." Murong Yanran said.

"Sabotage negotiations? If negotiations can't take place, who will benefit the most? Besides, he thought.

"Of course it's a pirate or a pirate. If the Tatars made peace with the imperial court, the imperial court would be free to deal with the pirates and pirates. Only when the Tatars contained most of the imperial forces outside the fortress could the pirates and pirates be free to go ashore and plunder. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"The pirates don't have the ability, do they?" Besides, he frowned.

"They don't have it, but the people behind them don't necessarily have it." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

In an instant, several people in the room understood that Zhou Dingcheng meant the pirate alliance family behind the pirates and pirates. It's just that the power of these coastal wealthy clans rarely radiates to the interior, and few people notice their existence.

It would not be unusual if it was a pirate alliance, this alliance was unimaginably powerful, almost monopolized the overseas trade along the entire coast, and the wealth was rich enough to make the salt lords of Yangzhou ashamed.

With such huge and abundant financial resources, it is natural that they can afford to raise masters, and they can also cultivate a large number of fanatical dead soldiers, and it can be said that most of the pirates and pirates are raised by these families. If they really wanted to do something, they hardly fell short.

Although he was not sure for a moment that this was the eight major families of the Pirate Alliance making trouble, he was also somewhat sure that there was no organization in the world with such great power except for them.

"I haven't even been to the coast, and they can't wait to get into my trouble." Besides, he sighed.

He believed that this matter had something to do not only with this negotiation, but also with his Sixth Guard, and now even if some well-informed people in the capital already knew that he would be stationed along the coast to encircle and suppress the pirate family in the future, in fact, he would be sent by the emperor to deal with the pirate family.

These families may want to strangle the future threat in the cradle, and take advantage of the opportunity of his current negotiation to get rid of this future scourge in advance.

After figuring out the possible opponent, he felt a little more relaxed, as long as he knew who the opponent was, he would be able to make the necessary preparations, and now he was facing the problem of how to break the game of this treasure map?

"Can we find a way to release the news that the treasure map has been sold to pirate families at a high price, such as the Zheng family in Fuzhou." He thought for a moment.

"No one would believe in such a thing, would they?" Zhou Dingcheng shook his head.
