In the days when the ice and snow melt, the spring flowers bloom, and the wind and sunshine are beautiful, the Hanyangmen Wharf in Wuhan, which is already very prosperous and lively, is even more lively, the civilian ships and merchant ships from east to west crowd the wharf to the point of impassability, and the crowd on the shore is also dense, shouting and shouting to attract customers, and the workers who carry the goods are busy and busy, constantly stepping on the gangplank of the ship board to squeak, as well as those who drive cars, sell tea, fortune tellers and sell food, all kinds of things, and the bustle and prosperity far exceed that before the war.

On the deck of a passenger ship waiting in line to enter the port, a thin boy of seven or eight years old was very disdainful of the prosperity and wealth of the Hanyangmen wharf, and said to a tall and beautiful young woman in official words: "Mother, this wharf is so small, it is still small and crowded, if it is changed to a wharf in Shanghai, we can go ashore a long time ago, how can my father live in this kind of place?" ”

"I'll have to ask your dad about this." The beautiful young woman patted her son's head lovingly and said, "It's almost our turn to go ashore." ”

"The child is not very old, and his breath is big." A voice suddenly came from a boat next to him, and he said with a smile in the same skillful official dialect: "I have also been to Shanghai, and I have traveled south and north at a young age, so I really can't see it." Tell uncle, what's your name? How old is this year? ”

The beautiful young woman and the thin boy turned their heads to look together, but they saw that it was an adult man in his thirties, dressed very luxuriously, and his facial features were quite upright, but his smile was obscene, and his eyes kept swirling on the beautiful young woman's towering breasts and slender legs. Seeing that the beautiful young woman was angry, she first stopped her son from talking to him, and then said with a straight face: "This gentleman, we don't know each other, please let the village go." ”

"Isn't that the acquaintance?" The man in the fancy dress was obviously a veteran of flowers, and immediately hit the snake on the pole, and asked with a smile: "What is this lady, what is it called?" What to do in Wuchang City? Listening to your tone just now, it seems that your father-in-law is in this Wuchang City, what is he doing? ”

The beautiful young woman kept a straight face and did not speak, but the man in the fancy dress chattered endlessly, and said with a smile: "This lady, I am a good person, do you know who I am?" Maybe my words can make your prime minister promoted or rich? ”

"Who are you?" The beautiful young woman finally came to a little interested, and asked curiously.

The man in the Chinese costume smiled, and said to the attendant Nunu beside the waiter, and the entourage understood, immediately coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then raised his chest and said loudly: "Listen, this prince is the eldest son of the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the eldest son of the senior citizen, the son of Lu Gelu, the Yellow Banner of Manzhou, and the Ilgen Jue Luo clan!" ”

Hearing the words of his entourage, the young woman with a beautiful and moving face really opened her cherry mouth wide, and said in shock: "Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang? You are the eldest son of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang?! ”

"How? Ma'am, now believe I didn't lie to you, do you? Lu Ge smiled evilly: "I can make your prime minister promoted and make a fortune with a casual word." ”

"But how dare you come here?" The beautiful young woman replied to the question, and blurted out: "You are the eldest son of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, how dare you come to the territory of the rebel army?" Or come directly to Wuchang? ”

"Hey, this little beauty still understands, right?"

Lu Ge was also a little surprised, but considering that this beautiful young woman was likely to be the family of Wu Jun officials, and the boat she was riding on was also quite gorgeous, and her origin was definitely not ordinary, Lu Ge still didn't think it was too strange, just smiled and said: "This lady is so knowledgeable, yes, it stands to reason that I shouldn't come here, but there is no way, after my father collected all kinds of evidence, he finally found that the rebellion of our king Wu in the south of the Qing Dynasty is not false, and the chaos in the capital is indeed unpunished, so he resolutely decided to restrain himself from the precipice and abandon the darkness to the light. That's why he sent me as a representative to Wuchang to meet with the king of Zhennan to discuss the important matter of leading Fujian and Zhejiang provinces to join the command of the king of Zhennan. ”

Although Lu Ge said it soundly, the beautiful young woman almost didn't laugh out loud, and said in her heart: "Restrain the horse from the precipice? Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Led the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang to join the command of King Zhennan? If it weren't for Cao Yanzhong's forwards who had already entered Fujian, would you be able to think of reining in the precipice and abandoning the darkness to the light? ”

Disdain is disdainful, considering that it is a good thing for a feudal official like the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang to take the initiative to surrender after all, and at the same time, it is also full of sincerity to send his baby son as a hostage, the beautiful young woman still did not reveal it, just nodded and said: "So that's the case, it is indeed rare for the senior control platform to get lost and return." ”

"It's not a small tone." Lu Ge was a little unhappy in his heart, but he also became more and more determined to conquer this beautiful young woman, and said with a smile: "This lady, now that I have answered your question, you should also answer my question, right?" Is your career satisfactory? Do you want me to say a few kind words for him in front of King Zhennan? King Zhennan is busy with affairs, and not everyone can see it casually. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ge straightened his chest again, and said very proudly: "But this son is different, and the king of Zhennan will definitely meet me in person in a while." ”

"No need."

The beautiful young woman didn't want to entangle with Lu Ge, so she refused lightly, and then pulled her son into the cabin, leaving Lu Ge on the deck of her own ship, she didn't expect to be rejected so simply. The entourage next to him came up and said in a low voice: "Eldest prince, be more restrained, this is not Fuzhou, we are here to negotiate and surrender, we can't think about it anymore like in Fuzhou, because of your temperament." ”

"Fart! I'm going to condemn this little beauty! Lu Ge was a little angry, and viciously instructed his entourage: "Go and see Lord Junqiu, the rebel who brought us to Wuchang, and ask him to inquire about the origin and identity of this little beauty for me, and what her man does!" I don't believe it, I can't get her man's promotion and fortune in exchange for a night for this little beauty! ”

The entourage was helpless, so he had to go to see the Wu military officials who escorted Lu Ge to Wuchang as required, and asked the Wu military officials to help inquire about the origin and identity of the beautiful women on the neighboring boat.

It was also a coincidence that the beautiful young woman and Lu Ge's boat were pulled into the dock by the slender man at the same time, and they boarded the dock almost at the same time, although Lu Ge immediately found that the beautiful young woman also had many powerful retinues, but he still refused to give up, and looked at the beautiful young woman a few times, and whistled very lightly. As a result, the entourage of the beautiful young woman was furious when he saw it, and he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to make a move, but the beautiful young woman stopped them and said, "Don't make trouble, his status is special." ”

Misunderstanding the meaning of the beautiful young woman's words, Lu Ge was overjoyed, and said that the beautiful young woman was afraid of his special identity, and his eyes suddenly became more unscrupulous. The young woman held back her anger, grabbed her son and strode to the shore, Lu Ge smiled lewdly, and hurriedly asked the accompanying Wu military officials to send someone to follow the beautiful young woman without mentioning it.

Maybe Lu Ge and the beautiful young woman really have some fate, when he rode all the way to Wu Chaoyue's Zhennan Palace, in addition to seeing the sedan chair carriage that could not be seen at a glance, he happened to see the beautiful young woman also getting off the carriage, Lu Ge didn't control it for a while, and blurted out a smile: "This lady, we are too fateful, we meet again." ”

Hearing these contemptuous words, no matter how good the beautiful young woman's temper was, she couldn't help it, and immediately lowered her face, and her thin son was also furious, jumped out and clenched his little fist, and said angrily: "Don't bully my mother, otherwise I will beat you!" ”

Lu Ge laughed, and was about to say a few more light words to take advantage of it, but unexpectedly, someone on the steps of the Zhennan Wangfu shouted: "Bold, who dares to make noise in front of the Zhennan Wangfu?" ”

Since ancient times, it is better to be the king of Hades, and the little ghost is difficult, although the Wu military official who escorted Lu Ge is already a positive sixth grade, but when talking to an ordinary disciple in front of Wu Chaoyue's door, he still has to nod his head and smile, but unfortunately the door is still nostrils facing the sky, even if he knows the origin and identity of Lu Ge, he will not pass it on immediately, but he just commanded in a big way: "Wait, wait for a while, and wait for the king of Zhennan to see the guests, and then report to you." ”

The escort official hurriedly nodded in agreement, but Lu Ge was angry in his heart, and said with some anger: "That's how the Zhennan Wangfu treats the envoy who took the initiative to ask for surrender? Our Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion kindly took the initiative to ask for negotiation and surrender, and your Zhennan Wangfu is like this to us? ”

The disciple of Zhennan Wangfu smiled and said: "Master Lu, logically speaking, we shouldn't treat you slowly, but you are really a step late, you may not know that just now, the eldest prince of Lao Chongguang, the governor of Liangguang, came here to hand over a sign to ask for a meeting, and our Zhennan King personally went out to greet him and invited him in." So on a first-come, first-served basis, you have to wait. ”

"The eldest son of Lao Chongguang, the governor of Liangguang?!" Lu Ge's face suddenly turned a little pale, and he blurted out, "Lao Chongguang's eldest son, what are you doing here?" ”

"What else can be done? Of course, it's the same purpose as you, Gongzi Lu. The man smiled proudly, and said: "Otherwise, if you have to rush in, Young Master Lu, you have to rush in, the little one also has a way, the little one will pass it on to Lord Yan for you, and ask Lord Yan to come out to meet you, but this etiquette is definitely not grand enough." ”

Lu Ge's face changed even more, he never expected that Lao Chongguang, the governor of Liangguang, would be able to see the wind and rudder to this point, and he sent his son to ask for surrender without waiting for the Wu army to enter Liangguang, and at the same time Lu Ge was also extremely hesitant, neither wanting to wait here for a long time, but also not wanting to just let a Wu army official of Yan Jingming's level come forward to meet him, losing the prestige of his father as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

As a result, at this time, the beautiful young woman from before suddenly walked up and said casually to Menzi: "Youlao, go in and say to Wu Chaoyue, just say that he is busy and doesn't have to come out in person, just send someone else to meet us." ”

"Bold! Dare to directly call us the name of the prince of Zhennan? Do you dare to order our Zhennan prince in such a tone? ”

Wu Mansion Menzi was suddenly furious, and Lu Ge was extremely dumbfounded to look at the beautiful young woman, and he still had some doubts in his heart if this woman had something wrong with her head and dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Zhennan Palace. But the beautiful young woman was not afraid, and smiled slightly, and said: "He is my father-in-law, I am the side princess of your king of Zhennan, why can't you just call him by his name?" ”

Wu Mansion Menzi and Lu Ge opened their mouths together, and then the Menzi immediately came back to his senses and roared: "Bold and ruthless, all the princesses of our Zhennan King are in the palace, and you dare to pretend?" ”

"Several of his princesses are here, but I am his princess in Shanghai." The beautiful young woman smiled lightly, pointed to her son again, and said, "Also, he is your prince of Zhennan, Wu Nianyue." ”

Wu Fu Menzi was dumbfounded again, and looked down with great difficulty but looked at the thin boy next to the beautiful young woman, only glanced at it, and found that the thin boy looked exactly the same as someone, and the door immediately knelt down on his knees, kowtowed again and again, and said in a loud voice: "Little Xu Ba, I have seen the princess, I have seen the prince of Zhennan, the princess Jin An, the prince Jin An, the princess Chitose, the prince Chitose Chitose. ”

didn't wait for even Wu Xiaoping to scold Xu Ba, the doorman of Wu Mansion, and kowtowed, the Wu Mansion guards next to him had already knelt on the ground, and Wu Jun Wenwu, who was waiting to be summoned in the gatehouse, heard the news, and rushed out with a crawl, scrambling to kneel down on Zhou Xiuying and Wu Nianyue's knees, and shouting for peace with his self-declared identity, desperately trying to make Wu Nianyue leave an impression on himself - the reason, of course, is that Wu Chaoyue, the king of Zhennan, who is only one step away from unifying the country, has only one son like Wu Nianyue so far.

There was only one person present who didn't kneel, and that was the eldest prince of Lu Gelu, but the reason was not that the eldest prince of Lu didn't want to kneel, but that the eldest prince of Lu couldn't stand up anymore - he was directly paralyzed in front of Zhou Xiuying and Wu Nianyue, and he couldn't make a decent sound for a long time, and there was no obscenity in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Xiuying, but also full of fear and begging, pity and helplessness.

Knowing what Lu Ge wanted to say, Zhou Xiuying took the initiative to speak and said: "Don't worry, I won't take it to heart, you are taking the initiative to ask for surrender on behalf of your father, which is equivalent to directly saving thousands of lives, just by virtue of this, I will not bother with you." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ge finally regained some strength and spirit, quickly climbed down and knelt down, kowtowed to Zhou Xiuying and Wu Nianyue and said: "Thank you for the grace of the princess not to kill, thank you for the grace of the prince of Zhennan for not killing, please rest assured that the princess and the prince will tell the truth about today's incident, let him know the magnanimity of the princess, and ask him to immediately take the military and civilian gentry of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces and Taiwan Island to surrender to the army of the king of Zhennan to thank the sinner for his sins today." ”
