If you are at another ferry, there are more than 200 people in the group, and there are many cages, carriages and horses, and there must be officials and officials who will come forward to inquire about your origins.

However, at the Yangtze River ferry in Nanjing, although Li Meng's team is rare, it is not too rare, and there are often pot-bellied people, who are surrounded by many people to get off the boat and wait for the car to get on the horse, and swagger into the city.

Sure enough, it was the center of the Ming Empire in the south, Li Meng remembered that he saw the shock of Kaifeng and Luoyang in Henan, and he knew that the estimation of this era was still too shallow under the city of Nanjing, and he didn't know if the Jingshi would be even more exaggerated.

Li Meng's only reaction was to hold his breath, rein in his horse and look up at the city wall, more than ten meters high, people under the city, it seems so small, the city wall should not have been repaired for a long time, but there are still no gaps, the whole surface is very smooth and smooth.

It was also commonplace for the shopkeeper Zheng to see Li Meng's reaction like this, and he must have been taken aback when he was here just now, and felt that it was really incredible.

Among the people who went out of the city to greet him this time, the highest status of the Zheng family was this Zheng shopkeeper, looking at Li Meng's stunned appearance, he said with a smile:

"Lord Li, this Nanjing City is where Grandpa Taizu's capital is, naturally it is extraordinary, you must have worked very hard all the way, why don't you go to the inn to rest first, and then give you the wind and dust at night, and wait for tomorrow by the villain to lead you to have a good tour."

Hearing this shopkeeper Zheng's words, Li Menggan coughed a few times, and was also a little embarrassed. Under the guidance of the other party, they entered the city together, and the soldiers in the city gate cave were clearly dressed in armor. It's just that Li Meng also saw that the shopkeeper Zheng smiled and stuffed some silver coins into their hands, so he let them go listlessly.

This experience made Li Meng understand that he was still in the Ming Dynasty, and some essential things had not changed.

Although it is broad daylight, but this city gate cave actually gives people a deep feeling, Li Meng roughly calculated, it is almost seven or eight meters long, the height and thickness of this city wall is indeed amazing.

The accommodation and settlement of more than 200 people and horses was not a problem at all, and the Zheng family chartered a large inn in the city, which easily accommodated Li Meng and his party.

However, seeing that the Zheng family is so attentive, it also shows how much the other party wants to get this done. It's hard to be much more eager than Li Meng.

That's right, at the door of the inn, Zheng Shark was waiting there, this Zheng Shark was in his fifties, similar to the appearance of the Zheng shopkeeper, much taller, although he was wearing a brocade robe and silk. But he has rough hands and feet, his face is dark, and he looks like he has been blown by the sea breeze for many years.

Unlike Zheng's shopkeeper who was cautious, this Zheng shark had a fierce aura when he stood there, perhaps because he had killed too many people at sea to develop such an momentum.

Seeing Li Meng coming, Zheng Shark and Zheng Shopkeeper exchanged glances, and after making sure, Zheng Shark took a step forward, clenched his fists and said loudly:

"Zheng Laosha paid a visit to Master Li. The etiquette is not good, please don't be surprised! ”

This voice is really not small, it is like shouting out, Li Meng has already dismounted, and when he heard the other party's greeting, he also replied with a smile:

"Be polite, this time in Nanjing, we still have to rely on the Zheng family to help."

Zheng Shark stood at the door and hugged his fists in greeting, the master's etiquette was full, and he watched Li Meng dismount and stride over. The closer he walked, the more respectful Zheng Shark's movements became, and his waist became more and more bent, originally standing on the steps, but now he walked down directly.

This Zheng family has a fierce aura in the south. Li Meng also has his own temperament. Since the advent of this era, the army has been constantly trained. The temperament cultivated by the determination to kill is a pure general's appearance, and with the modern military service, the military posture of the PLA naturally has a kind of self-pride.

That Zheng Shark is also dozens of years old, he is used to seeing the wind and rain, and he has also seen the big and small markets, and he can see that Li Meng's style is purely not pretentious, but this style can only be seen in the past at the level of the general general, Li Meng is just a small capital, how can he be so generous.

In this era, people are very particular about this kind of "temperament" and first impression, Li Meng's impression of this Zheng Shark is the so-called general's bearing, Zheng Shark quickly changed the impression caused by the introduction of Zheng Zhang, and first made his attitude very respectful.

Li Meng also felt strange about the other party's sudden respect, but his attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant, and he also hugged his fists, which was considered a return gift.

"Approaching the end of the year, but asked Lord Li to rush to Nanjing in a hurry, it must have been hard work, today Zheng will be rude for a while, and tomorrow I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the adults, and the adults will have a good rest today, how about it?"

Although this is abrupt, it is very considerate for Li Meng, some people have been jolting on the boat for about half a month, and hard work is inevitable, and it will definitely be uncomfortable to socialize at this time. Since the other party was so thoughtful, Li Meng also agreed with a smile.

Zheng Shark and several leaders of the Zheng family in Nanjing briefly explained a few words, and then said goodbye and left, but the shopkeeper Zheng was a little anxious, thinking that this kind of thing should be discussed as soon as possible.

A few steps away from the inn, the shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly caught up with Zheng Shark, and whispered anxiously:

"Uncle, this matter is delayed and there are many dreams at night, the sooner we discuss, the less likely it will be to go wrong!"

Hearing this, Zheng Shark turned his head and glared at him viciously, Zheng Shopkeeper was suddenly too frightened to speak anymore, Zheng Shark reprimanded in a deep voice and said:

"Since I'm here, what's the use of being anxious at this time, then Li Meng and I think he is also a decisive character, and he won't do that dirty thing."

The shopkeeper Zheng was just about to leave, but was stopped by Zheng Shark and asked:

"Then Li Meng is indeed the capital of Laizhou Prefecture?"

"Uncle, that's right, my little nephew has been there more than a dozen times, and I understand."

"This style of bearing, it's not the appearance of a small officer, it's not simple, the old man thinks it's not simple."

Shopkeeper Zheng secretly said in his heart, "What's not simple, isn't it just a stupid person who has a bad brain and wants to throw away his good foundation and go elsewhere?" But this Zheng Shark is the principal of the Zheng family in Jiangnan, and he is still Zheng Zhilong's uncle in terms of seniority, and he has a very authoritative role, and he doesn't dare to offend people by talking nonsense.

Over there, Zheng Shark was wondering if he would write a letter to Fujian Longtou tomorrow to talk about what he had seen and heard today, and he hadn't seen such a person for many years.

The inn in Nanjing City is not the same as Kaifeng, there is no doubt about Li Meng's party, whether it is the shopkeeper or the guys, they are usually serving and greeting, and it is not strange to the team of hundreds of people.

Li Meng's 200 guards were all young people, and most of them were guards who had followed Li Meng to Henan, and when they were in Kaifeng and Luoyang, these people were quite calm and indifferent.

But when I came to Nanjing City, I was a little excited, this is one of the most prosperous places in the world, and I finally came once, and it would be a pity not to go out to see.

But this time Li Meng was completely unkind, except for standing guard at the gate and the swimming guards on duty, the rest of the people were not allowed to leave the courtyard for half a step, even Li Meng. Military orders must not be disobeyed, and after these young men were frustrated for a while, the exhaustion of the journey came up, and they all went to sleep separately.

The next day, after washing in the morning, the Zheng family sent someone to send a post, saying that it was to greet Master Li at the Meilou on Banknote Street, and after an hour and a half, they sent someone to greet and lead the way.

Where is Banknote Street? Li Meng was a little confused, but the shopkeeper and the guys in the store all showed envious expressions, and Li Meng didn't inquire, turned around and returned to his room.

After returning to the room, he called several guards over, and after entering the door, Li Meng said in a deep voice:

"Yesterday, the Zheng family postponed the banquet to receive the wind, I suspect that they are redoing the arrangement, no matter what, we are in danger, but we have to guard against it."

After a few simple orders, Li Meng showed the address of the post in his hand to his subordinates, and several guard leaders left the inn with their subordinates, pretending to be wandering on the street, but in the end, they wanted to wrap up the adjacent places around the so-called eyebrow tower on the banknote street, and then prepare to retreat.

After the order, several leaders communicated with each other, and then gathered their respective subordinates in the courtyard, packed the close-fitting weapons, and went out in batches, all pretending to be elated before going out.

Li Meng left twenty people around him, and Nanjing was also a little chilly, these twenty guards were all wearing thick cotton robes, so the short firearms and swords on their bodies could not be seen by others at all.

After an hour and a half, the Zheng family really sent someone to greet them, Li Meng did not let them into the courtyard, and waited directly at the door of the inn, and it was Zheng Shopkeeper who came to pick up people, and the attitude was still polite and warm compared to yesterday, to say that this person's attitude itself was extremely attentive, and now this enthusiasm has increased a little, which is really awkward.

You may not have heard the word "things must be opposed", but everyone understands this truth in their hearts, and the redoubling of the courtesy of the shopkeeper Zheng made Li Meng even more vigilant.

However, his face did not show it, he just responded politely with a smile, and the two sides went out together, the Zheng family even prepared the carriage and horses, and after the Zheng shopkeeper invited Li Meng to get into the carriage, he also sat down, and said with a smile:

"Don't hide it from Lord Li, my uncle, after Zheng Shark saw the adult, he felt that the adult was really extraordinary, and said that the standard of this hospitality should also be improved, and yesterday several of my cousins ran in the city for most of the day to finalize the place."
