After some false politeness, the soldiers of the musket battalion who came with Cao Yue also began to land.

For this group of men and horses who have made great achievements in Datong, the feelings of the officials in Nanjing are very complicated.

They knew that this was Cao Yue's biggest hole card, and the arrival of this horse was enough to change the situation in Cao Yue in Nanjing.

Although the number of men and horses under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Nanjing is large, many people know that most of those men and horses can be classified into the ranks of the rabble, and the elite men and horses have already been exhausted. The men and horses under the command of Cao Yue can defeat the Jiannu who is several times his own, and the men and horses with such combat effectiveness are also rare in the Ming army. The men and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies don't want to compete with this army at all.

The officials who originally despised Cao Yue or didn't take him seriously felt more pressure in their hearts when they saw the soldiers of the musket battalion lined up in a neat line, coming down from the cabin with firearms in hand, and lining up in a strict line on the dock without the slightest chaos.

They knew that Cao Yue, who came to Nanjing on the orders of the emperor, would definitely bring a huge shock to the officialdom in Nanjing.

After some politeness, Cao Yue ordered the soldiers of Cao Jie's musket battalion to be brought into the Yanziji camp that had been initially renovated, and he and Zhu Yujiao entered the city with the Nanjing officials who greeted him.

Originally, Nanjing officials were going to hold a reception banquet for Cao Yue and Zhu Yujiao, but Zhu Yujiao refused on the grounds that she was tired from the journey and that the country was now in danger and could not waste money. The two took their entourage and went directly to the princess's mansion, which is located near the Confucius Temple. In the handover of official affairs, Cao Yue was going to do it in a few days, and in the greetings with the officials just now, some things had already been exchanged, and he was not in a hurry about everything.

After arriving in Nanjing, the most important thing is to rest well, then listen to the reports of the people who arrived in Nanjing in advance, meet some good friends when you have time, and then make arrangements slowly after understanding the situation in Nanjing.

The princess's mansion has already been renovated, and the people in the mansion arrived here before them, and when Cao Yue and Zhu Yujiao entered the mansion, hundreds of people from the mansion were all kneeling at the gate of the mansion to greet them.

The journey is really tiring, this is not what I said, after arriving at the princess's mansion, Zhu Yujiao didn't care about flirting with Cao Yue for fun, and fell on the couch with a crooked body, shouting that her back hurts. Cao Yue smiled and pinched for Zhu Yujiao, and between the pinching, he did some inappropriate movements to tease Zhu Yujiao.

Just when Zhu Yujiao couldn't help being teased by Cao Yue, her interest was interrupted, and someone came to report that someone was asking to see Cao Yue.

Cao Yue, who was disturbed by his high temperament, was full of unhappiness in his heart, but after hearing the name of the person who came to visit, he immediately turned his anger into joy, comforted Zhu Yujiao a few words, and said that let Zhu Yujiao rest for a while, and at night, he would pinch her well and love her well.

In Zhu Yujiao's coquettishness and resentment, Cao Yue laughed and went out to meet guests.

I came to visit Cao Yue in Beijing, and now I am working in Nanjing Jinyiwei, Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin, Zhang Shize and others.

Chang Yanling is now the secretary of Nanjing Jinyi, Guo Peimin and Zhang Shize are both pacification envoys, and they have both been promoted. And Cao Yue's second brother Cao Chao is now a fellow acquaintance of Nanjing Jinyiwei, and he is the official of these gentlemen.

Before arriving in Nanjing, Cao Yue had already learned some information about Nanjing Jinyiwei from Cao Chao's mouth.

Today's Nanjing Jinyi Guard Commander is called Qiao Ke, an official who has just taken office, Qiao Ke originally served in Beijing and served as the commander of the palm seal. According to Cao Chao, this may be the spy leader sent by Emperor Chongzhen to supervise the Cao family's every move in Nanjing in order to prevent their Cao family from becoming big in Nanjing.

Nanjing Jinyiwei, in addition to Qiao Ke's commander and Cao Chao's commander, there is also another conductor Li Ruolian, this guy was born in Jinshi, and he won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, and this time he came to Nanjing with Qiao Ke to serve.

It can be said that today's Nanjing Jinyiwei, except for Qiao Ke and Li Ruolian, are all cronies of Cao Chao and Chang Yanling.

Cao Yue didn't know if these guys came to visit him today, because they had secrets to report, or if they wanted to catch up with him.

"See Lord Cao," after seeing Cao Yue, Chang Yanling and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute, seeing the smile on Cao Yue's face, Chang Yanling immediately changed his tone, and said with a grin: "I've seen the concubine, I heard that the concubine is married, but it's a pity that a few of us can't go to Beijing to attend your wedding, so I will come to the house today and ask the concubine for a glass of wine to make up for the regret of the day." ”

"You guys are really in a hurry," Cao Yue stepped forward and punched Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin and Zhang Shize respectively, and then laughed: "I just arrived at the house, and before I could catch my breath, you came to disturb me, is this intentional, it is clear that I will not be given time to rest." ”

These three guys also went to Yanziji Wharf with other officials to greet them today, but because their identities were a little worse than other officials, and because of Jinyiwei's special identity, they didn't dare to have too much contact with Cao Yue, and they were ready to wait for the welcome ceremony to end before they reminisced in private. They were more anxious, Cao Yue had just arrived at the house with his front feet, and these guys chased after him on his hind legs.

"We don't dare to disturb the princess's tranquility, but brother, you have to come to visit as soon as possible," Chang Yanling said with a grin: "We have heard too much of your heroic deeds of General Cao, you easily defeated the Liukou, and defeated Dorgon's hundreds of thousands of Jiannu with 50,000 horses, and wiped out tens of thousands of Jiannu under Datong City." We have to congratulate you on such an achievement. And you, who have made great contributions, won a lot of rewards, and have become the fast son-in-law of the Long Live Lord, and now you have come to Nanjing, a world of flowers, so many happy events, you can't say that you don't invite us to have a good drink. ”

"This is no problem, when things settle down, I will definitely invite a few brothers to the best restaurant in Nanjing, have a good drink, and not get drunk and return," Cao Yue readily agreed.

"Brother Yue, how is it today? A few of our brothers came over today, just to invite you out for a drink, so that we can meet you and wash the dust? Chang Yanling smiled obscenely, "Today, the little brother will take you to see the bustle and prosperity of the Qinhuai River?" The princess shouldn't disagree, right? We can drink and talk at the same time. ”

"This ......" Cao Yue thought of Zhu Yujiao, who was waiting for his beloved on the couch just now, and was a little hesitant.

"Brother Yue, won't you be strict with the public and won't let you go out to drink bars?" Guo Peimin couldn't help but make fun of Cao Yue, "I really didn't expect that Brother Yue, such a hero, would be afraid of his own woman!"

"It's nothing, I'll just go with you, but I want to talk to the princess first," Cao Yue said, standing up, "Brothers, I'll be fine right away!"

Looking at Cao Yue's appearance, Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin, and Zhang Shize all laughed shamelessly, and their smiles were as ambiguous as they were.
